I have an oil leak and the mechanic says I need to replace the front & rear main oil seals. Can you give me an estimate on what that type of repair would cost?

2004 Subaru Forester Question: Oil Leak Repair
Answer #1mastertech6371 December 03, 2010, 07:41Master
it is very odd both the front and rear mains leak together. the rear requires removal of the transaxle. the front is not that bad.
i would get a second opinion first.
the front pays 2.8 i would consider replacing the timing belt and water pump while doing this.
the rear pays 6.8 hours.
lot of money, thats why i think a second opinion is in order.

Thank you Roy. I had it in at the local Subaru dealer and they first said it was the oil pan cover & stripped bolts. Then they said if that wasn't it they would have to pull the engine. It didn't leak on the driveway for about 2 weeks then started again. I took it to a local shop and they told me about the front & main rear seals. They can't do the work but recommended another repair shop.

Overcoming shyness- Ideas??
|Thu, 06-12-2008 - 6:36pm
I have a situation where my young son (4) is not comfortable participating in group activities, such as soccer or swimming because of the crowds of people that are there.
|Fri, 06-13-2008 - 1:47pm
My nephew had a hard time in group situations until my sil found out that if she got him there early he was able to get aclimated to the place before the kids started arriving and then while he still was a bit quiet and more of a watcher, he started enjoying the classes and activities she had signed him up for.

Doncaster are confident Mark Duffy will be fit for the South Yorkshire derby against Sheffield Wednesday at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Duffy has struggled with illness this week, along with a few others in the Rovers camp, but manager Paul Dickov thinks the winger will be okay for Saturday's clash against the Owls.
Aston Villa striker Jordan Bowery has returned to his parent club following the end of his loan spell. He remains in Dickov's thoughts but with Bongani Khumalo (knee) out for the remainder of the season and Gabriel Tamas currently sidelined, bringing a defender in on loan is the Scot's priority.
Tamas underwent surgery on his fractured cheekbone on Thursday. The centre-half may have a protective mask fitted which will allow him to return sooner than expected.
Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland could return to contention for the derby clash at Doncaster.
Kirkland, sidelined for four matches due to a calf injury, is expected to return to full training on Friday but Damian Martinez, on loan from Arsenal, will be hoping to retain his place after keeping a clean sheet in the midweek win against QPR.
Midfielder Sam Hutchinson, on loan from Chelsea, sat out on Tuesday night due to a knee problem but is also expected to be available, while boss Stuart Gray has no new selection problems.
The Owls are chasing a third straight win in their bid to climb into the top half of the table.

Nexus 6 might come with a fingerprint sensor, to be based on LG G3?
The LG G3, on its part, is said to be LG's new flagship to-be, rumored to come with a 5.5-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440-pixel) display, and a design similar to that of the G2, with buttons on the back. We've already seen the first leaked images and design mockups from different sources, and the fact that they all draw the same picture of the G3 is telling.
Android Geeks tells us that Google, however, might not like the idea of releasing such a large, 5.5-inch device, and might instead go for a Nexus 6 with a 5.2-inch Quad HD display. And this is where it all seems to start falling apart simply because we have not yet seen any display maker unveil a 5.2-inch Quad HD panel - the smallest display panel featuring that new high resolution measures 5.46 inches and is made by JDI.
The LG G3 leaked out earlier
In terms of specs, the Nexus 6 is said to arrive with a Snapdragon 805 system chip with a 2.7GHz quad-core Krait 450 processor, and Adreno 420 graphics. It is also said to feature 3GB of RAM and models with 16GB or 32GB of internal storage.
All in all, while some things like the 5.2" Quad HD display of a supposed Nexus 6 seem to be on the speculative end, we would not be all that surprised if Google indeed bases a new Nexus smartphone on the LG G3. After all, it's already done this with the Nexus 5. What do you think: will the Nexus 6 look like this and are you looking forward to it?

Yeah as if anyone would wanna buy a crappy 4MP camera phone that takes great selfies, not to mention the gigantic bezels. LG is fine with me or even give Sony a chance
13. engineer-1701d (Posts: 1218; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
sony look so blaaaa no design and lg just look stupid and the finger crap on the back hard to reach in wrong location just stupid, m8 giant bezel as you call it is to hide electronics for signal and amps for sound they did screw up and shot them self in the foot with the 4 mp camera and made it to tall thats why i dont buy it i coworker does he is in love with it.
12. saenaedewe (Posts: 62; Member since: 01 May 2013)

Just release the exact same copy (minus the volume rocker at the back) as LG G3 and it will be a perfect phone. No screwing up the battery this time LG !
3. twens (Posts: 699; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
Is it me or LG really knows how to shrink bezels on phones. The design is so cool. S4 wasn't bad when it comes t bezels. I thought sammy was going to improve on that side also. Well, I wish they could ignore water resistance and give us a big note 4 in a slim body.
7. galanoth (Posts: 339; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
Small bezels and water resistance haven't gone hand in hand yet.
Though, the S5 does have smaller dimensions in every way compared to the Xperia Z1 even with it's bigger screen. So it's a start.
Maybe in 2 years we'll get bezeless and waterproof.
14. engineer-1701d (Posts: 1218; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
you dont want bezeless because the software cant distinguish if your hand is touch the side of the screen and the mid its so stupid to think of having a phone with no bezel how are you going to hold it without touching the side screen, wow i thought tech people on this site would be smarter, guess not
5. boosook (Posts: 1086; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Just keep the full HD 5'' screen... really, we don't need to go any turther.
Pay attention to things that matter: the camera, a bigger battery, better build quality, microphones that can withstand the audio level of a concert, possibly stereo recording, add OTG support, support for external microphones (see Sony), stereo speakers... there are so many things to do besides the size of the display or the speed of the processor.
Google is the only one that can build the anti-iphone... i.e. a phone easy to use and fast and smooth like the Nexus 5, that simply works. They almost did it with the Moto X...
27. Suo.Eno (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Feb 2013)
Thumb this ^^^ up people. Most sensible comment on this yet.
6. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3715; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
The Nexus 5 is a very well balanced phone. Keep everything except the same except upgrade the processor to a Qualcomm 801 processor, add improved headphone output voltage/quality, and a larger battery. And keep the price the same.
8. surethom (Posts: 321; Member since: 04 Mar 2009)
Just keep the physical dimensions the same No bigger.
Bigger battery with wireless charging again.
Also a bigger megapixel camera 10 or 12 megapixel so we can have a 8ish megapixel widescreen option.

Fingerprint scanners should be a standard on smartphones, at least when they are implemented well. I no longer type in a passcode on my 5s. Sometimes I catch myself holding down the home button on my ipad more often than not :S. People won't have to peep over your shoulder when you type in you passcode too :P
15. engineer-1701d (Posts: 1218; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
they sould but also have a heat sensor built in so it knows that its your thumb so if you have gloves on you press it goes to password or pattern first. finger print scanners have come along way since the motorola singer print scanner after years of not using them due to failure from to much use and no real updates apple did good at buying the finger print scanner company when it did, now everyone in the world thinks apple was the first phone with finger print unlock on it.
11. AfterShock (Posts: 2955; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Myself would prefer it had at least the S805, but also hold hope for a S810 making it into it as well.
The beginning of October is a long ways away.
17. antonioli (Posts: 186; Member since: 08 Sep 2013)
Very good for me. The point that I don't understand is the Snapdragon 805. It's strange because G3 was speculated to have a 801. I prefer to be wrong and that G3 leads the way to 805.
19. DocOc (Posts: 138; Member since: 23 Apr 2014)
At this point, it doesn't matter who makes it. All the major companies (Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony) are pretty comparable in what they can deliver. The important thing is the specs...WOW! This will be an awesome phone no matter who makes it. Given those specs, it seems to be the clear winner for me. Better specs and less expensive than all the other flagships. Can't wait till its release.
20. tokuzumi (Posts: 345; Member since: 27 Aug 2009)
Just don't make the nexus any larger than the current one. It would be better if it was a little smaller than the 5. Not sure if the phone should have a 4K screen. Not sure what the benefit would be at this time. Not saying it shouldn't, but I just don't know what the difference would be on a ~5" screen.
21. shamatuu (Posts: 149; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Good specs i just hope the battery is big unlike the current one. Really hope its true.
22. MobileNico (Posts: 53; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
boosook made a really good point. Google needn't focus so much on specs and instead should focus on the user experience. They had a magnificent device in the Moto X, as it really won in real-life performance while not necessarily wowing people on paper. The Nexus 5 is a great device, but battery life issues have held it back from really being as awesome as it should be. They are the only company that seems to realize user experience is paramount. Most people just want a phone that works. All the time. A Nexus 6 device should build upon this principle and perhaps be more conservative spec-wise in lieu of reliable and robust real-life performance. The Moto X+1 will surely be doing just that. Hopefully the N6 follows suit.

Outsourcer Serco has purchased the UNIT4 Agresso ERP Platform
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
£70m BPO work at Lincolnshire Council to cut administration and improve collaboration
Lincolnshire County Council selected Serco as the preferred bidder for a £70 million business process outsourcing deal, with Serco replacing incumbent Mouchel and also beating Agilisys to the five year deal, which covers IT, finance and HR.
The UNIT 4 software will be used in delivering a range of support services, including finance, human resources, payroll, recruitment, invoice processing and income management.
"The new system will give us the flexibility we need to improve efficiency and reduce costs," said Judith Hetherington-Smith, chief information and commissioning officer at Lincolnshire County Council.
"It will cut back on administration and improve collaboration between departments, while its real-time reporting will mean strategic decisions can be made using the very latest information. The end result will be more streamlined and effective processes, bringing taxpayers much better value for money," she said.
The deployment forms part of a larger contract awarded to Serco, to deliver support and customer services to the council, bringing promised savings of more than £14 million over five years.
Sean Hanson, regional director at Serco, said: "By introducing new technology and ways of working, we'll help improve services and drive efficiencies for the authority."
UNIT4 claims it is "the number one provider of back office systems in local government".News Source : Outsourcer Serco has purchased the UNIT4 Agresso ERP Platform

GE Wind Turbines Selected By Chinese Wind Power Developer For 100-Megawatt Project In Canada
GE's (NYSE: GE) broad and competitive portfolio of advanced technology wind turbines will power a new wind project in the province of Ontario, Canada that will add 100 megawatts of clean energy to the region's electricity grid. The Dufferin Wind Farm, located in Ontario's Melanchthon County, is being developed by Longyuan Canada Renewables Ltd., a subsidiary of China Long Yuan Power Generation (CLYPG), China's largest wind power developer.
GE will supply 31 of its 1.6-100 wind turbines and 18 of its 2.75-103 wind turbines for the project, which supports Ontario's Green Energy Act. Created by the Ontario government, the act is designed to expand renewable energy production, encourage energy conservation and create green jobs. It features a feed-in tariff to ensure that renewable energy developers are able to achieve a reasonable return on their investments.
Under the Green Energy Act, renewable energy developers are required to demonstrate 50 percent local content for their projects. GE's longstanding commitment to provide local manufacturing content and sophisticated application engineering support aligns with the Green Energy Act's requirements.
"The Dufferin Wind Farm marks our first global wind project outside of China," said Wu Hao, president of Long Yuan Canada. "With rich wind power resources and strong supporting policies for its wind industry, Canada has created an excellent investment and operational environment for wind farms. For this very important project, we are glad to work with GE, a technology supplier with an outstanding global reputation and experience."CLYPG will be the first customer in Ontario to receive GE's 1.6-100 wind turbine, which is the world's most efficient wind turbine in its class. Featuring a 100-meter rotor diameter, the 1.6-100 wind turbine offers a 47 percent increase in swept area, which results in a 19 percent increase in annual energy production (AEP) at 7.5 m/s, compared to the previous 1.6-82.5 model.

HP SlateBook 14 review: Android? On a laptop?
There's mounting evidence that HP, once the leading PC maker, does not know what it's doing. After announcing plans to cut up to 5 percent of its work force, the company is basically throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Recent experiments include a luxury smartwatch, Chromebooks, a $199 Window notebook and now, a laptop running Android. Here's the sales pitch, and bear with me if this doesn't make sense: The SlateBook 14, according to HP, is for students and teens who already use Android on their mobile devices. In other words, they already own a Galaxy S5 or what have you, and they should have an Android laptop to match. The idea is that they might choose this over a Chromebook because it has more apps, and because it's more familiar. Ditto for Windows laptops — except, you know, Windows actually has lots of apps too. Setting aside HP's flawed logic (they never said Windows users should stick to Windows Phone): Why would you pay $430 for a laptop running an OS that was primarily meant to be used with the fingers?
Take what I say here with a grain of salt: The same way Vogue editor Anna Wintour is allowed to like a dress covered in futuristic space-snails, I'm allowed to like a laptop decked out in Lamborghini yellow. Personally, I kinda dig how the black lid and keyboard deck contrast with the bright hinge and sides. The only place where HP goes too far is the bottom side of the machine. It's all yellow — right in your face. Ditto for the prominent Beats Audio logo, located on the right side of the hinge, right in your line of sight whenever you're looking at the screen. In any case, whether you love or hate the yellow accents, I think we can agree on this: It's insane that in addition to releasing an Android laptop in the first place — a niche product if ever there was one — HP chose the most polarizing design possible, and didn't even offer any color options. Want that yellow to be cyan instead? Tough noogies, kiddos. You can have a yellow laptop running Android or… something else entirely.
It's a shame, because this is otherwise a fairly well-made laptop, especially for $430. The lid is made of aluminum, and while the rest is constructed from plastic, those bits still feel solid; the thing never bends when you grab it by the palm rest. The 1080p touchscreen is sharper than almost everything else I've seen in this price range, and while the LED-backlit panel doesn't provide the best viewing angles, the quality is still a big step up over every Chromebook I've tested. The keyboard is sturdy too, with well-spaced buttons that provide a decent amount of travel. And of course, Beats Audio offers better sound than what you'll get on other budget notebooks. Still, I can see where someone might overlook all of that if they couldn't get past the screaming yellow.
At 3.71 pounds, the laptop is on the heavy side. Not for a 14-inch laptop, mind you, but it's still much weightier than a smaller Android tablet with a detachable case or keyboard dock. It's also heavier than most Chromebooks, as well as some budget Windows laptops (I'm talking about the netbook-sized 11-inch models here). Considering Android isn't that useful on a laptop, I have to question whether owning a relatively heavy notebook is worth it when you could just buy a tablet or Chromebook and call it a day.
It's also not like you get that many more ports on a machine this big. As on some Chromebooks, there's a full-sized HDMI socket, a headphone jack and a memory card reader to help offset the rather paltry 16GB of built-in storage. Incidentally, that slot actually takes microSD, not SD, cards — a normal spec for phones and tablets, but an oddity on a 14-inch laptop. All told, the main difference in I/O between this and a Chromebook is that you get three USB ports here instead of two, but I'd hardly call that a selling point.
Performance and battery life
Excuse me while I point out the obvious: Android was not designed to be used with a mouse. Personally, I use the Moto X as my daily driver. I spend more hours a day staring at KitKat than I'd like to admit. And yet, when I opened the SlateBook for the first time, I paused for a moment, unsure of what to do next. After a couple seconds, of course, I came to my senses and did what any reasonable person would do: I reached up and touched the screen. And so it went. Several days into using the SlateBook, and I've rarely touched the trackpad. It happens to be a very nice trackpad, and it comes in handy when I'm reading a website and would rather not reach across the keyboard to scroll down the page. Otherwise, though, I use my fingers, just as I would on my phone.
|HP SlateBook 14
|NVIDIA Shield Tablet
|Tegra Note 7
|Samsung Galaxy Tab S
|Quadrant 2.0
|3DMark IS Unlimited
|SunSpider 1.0 (ms)
|SunSpider: Lower scores are better.
The same way there's only one color option for the SlateBook, there's just one spec configuration. That would be the $430 model I tested here, which has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage and an NVIDIA Tegra 4 chip — the same one used in the Note 7 tablet. But in a way, the performance is moot. I mean, of course you want the device to run smoothly. And it does. Apps launch quickly. The OS is quick to respond if I want to see a list of my open programs; closing and switching applications is a breeze. Web pages load quickly, albeit not as fast as most Chromebooks. The thing is, the SlateBook's quad-core Tegra 4 processor can handle even more than that. You know, like games. But on a device like this, why would you even bother? Who wants to cradle a 14-inch, 3.7-pound laptop, all so that they can tilt their way through Need For Speed? Who wants to reach across the keyboard when you could rest a tablet in your lap? And if you're content to only play browser games, why don't you use your $430 to buy a proper laptop?
The more I use the SlateBook, the more I think Android users would be better served by a tablet that can pair with either a keyboard case or detachable keyboard dock; you'd get more portability, similar battery life (more on that in a minute) and greater versatility when it comes to gaming. And yet you'd still have that keyboard when you needed it. If you're the sort of person who does a ton of typing — email, web surfing, office docs — you'd be better off with either a Chromebook or a Windows machine. At least those operating systems were meant to be used with a mouse.
Battery life
|HP SlateBook 14
|ASUS Transformer Book T100
|Dell Chromebook 11
|ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C
|NVIDIA Shield Tablet
|Samsung Chromebook 2 (13-inch)
|Toshiba Chromebook
|Acer C720 Chromebook (Intel Core i3)
|Acer C720 Chromebook (Intel Celeron)
|HP Chromebook 11
|Chromebook Pixel
|4:08 (WiFi)/3:34 (LTE)
The SlateBook 14′s 32Wh battery is rated for nine hours of runtime and indeed, I got exactly nine hours and three minutes of continuous video playback (that's with WiFi on, fixed brightness and Facebook and Twitter set to poll periodically). On the one hand, that's great for a laptop; it's the sort of longevity you'd expect from a $1,000 Ultrabook, but not necessarily a bargain-basement notebook, especially not one like this with a bigger screen.
On the other hand, nine-hour battery life is only marginally better than what most Chromebooks are capable of, and again, those tend to be more portable than the machine we have here. It's also on par with Android tablets, like the new NVIDIA Shield tablet or the ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C, which costs $299 with a keyboard dock. Even if you wanted a Windows system, you could find a low-powered laptop or hybrid that delivers long battery life. (There are plenty of options in the 11-inch range.) Have I made my point clearly enough? Long battery life is not a good enough reason to buy this.
Not that it matters — I'm recommending you don't buy this — but the SlateBook runs Jelly Bean (version 4.3), with an upgrade to KitKat expected to arrive sometime in Q4. Thankfully, HP left Android as is; there are no skins here, no home screen panels that are impossible to remove. Nope, this is Android as Google meant it to be experienced. Really, the only mark HP left on the device is a handful of pre-installed apps. These include ones for Box.com, Evernote, Skitch, Skype, Hulu Plus, Splashtop, NVIDIA TegraZone, Kingsoft Office and CyberLink PowerDirector Mobile. You'll also find some apps from HP itself, including Connected Drive, Connected Music, Connected Photo, ePrint, Media Player and File Manager. There's also a "Games" app, which is really just a store for WildTangent titles. In any case, if none of this strikes your fancy, you can always uninstall them in the settings and free up a little bit of space.
The SlateBook is an interesting specimen. That's why I wanted to review it: because I was curious about the idea of an Android laptop, and thought you might be too. And it is interesting. But by no means should you actually buy one. The SlateBook takes Android, an otherwise intuitive operating system, and manages to make it… cumbersome. It's a pain to use with a mouse, and yet if you want to use your fingers, you have to reach across the keyboard. Because that keyboard doesn't detach, the device is far heavier than a standalone tablet, and the battery life isn't even that much better.
If you love the Android experience, just buy a tablet with a keyboard case. If the typing experience is paramount, there are Windows laptops that are less expensive and more portable. Even a Chromebook would make more sense than the SlateBook; at least Chrome OS was designed to be used with a mouse. Samsung's 13-inch Chromebook 2, for instance, has just as sharp a display and costs $30 less, and there are loads of options that are even cheaper. Frankly, I'm not sure I'd recommend an Android laptop at any price, but for $430 the answer's easy: Just don't do it.

KitKat Sees a Nice Jump in New Platform Version Pie Chart
Another month has past, so another platform chart has been released to see who is running what on their devices. We always hope to see the newest versions of Android take most of the pie, and it looks like Android 4.4 KitKat has seen a nice percentage raise to 5.3%. Last month the percentage was roughly 2.5%, so they are doing their best to get that KitKat out there to us. Jelly Bean is still the victor in this pie, by taking 61.4% of devices out there, which is about a 0.6% decrease from last month. A very lovely number indeed, which is what Android is striving to achieve, by making their newest versions easier to get on all the many devices out there. Cut down that fragmentation.
Still makes me laugh that there are still people rocking Froyo out there, but at least that Gingerbread and ICS number has gone down. Let us know what you think about these new numbers.

Android 4.3 OTA Outed for T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z, Starting Today?
In typical information cruising we came across a post over at Android Geeks that said the T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z Android 4.3 update was starting to roll out. The page they referred to was the T-Mobile support page for the Xperia Z. That is is all on the up and up, but it seems that shortly after it was published, it was removed.
Priory to its vanishing act, the AndroidGeek guys got a screenshot of the page. It outlined that as of March 3rd, today, there would be an update to Android 4.3 for the Xperia Z. It would be labeled with firmware version 10.4.C.0.797. The improvements sections lists a few niceties though.
- Software Stability Improvements
- UXP Air user interface redesign
- WiFi Calling user interface redesign
- Stock keyboard switched from Nuance XT9 to Swiftkey
- 5 signal bars instead of 4
A few things could have happened that forced it to be pulled back down. One, the publication wasn't finished. Seriously, there is an extra bullet point with no writing.
Second, while today is March 3rd, they have all day to start the roll out. It is most likely still coming, just not until later this evening. Or third, which we don't want to have happen, it started its roll out and and failed or screwed up some devices. We didn't see any reports of issues, or of anyone getting the OTA yet for that matter, so we are going to go with the first two reasons for now.
For those sporting the T-Mobile branded Sony Xperia Z, keep your device charged up and don't stray to far from a WiFi connection. The file size that was listed comes in at 308 MBs. If you happen to see it pop-up, let us, and the rest of the users, know about it.

8-core HTC Desire phone rumor
It has been rumored for some time that HTC has been working with Mediatek chip-makers on producing a low to mid range 8-core smartphone for global markets. The pictures below are of the supposed development between the two companies, the "HTC Desire".
The phone is said to boast a 5 inch display, 720p resolution, Android 4.3, 1.5GB of RAM, and HTC Sense 5.5. Now these are only rumors, but this could be HTC's reaction to the iPhone 5c in order to get in on China's growing smartphone market.
No availability has been released, but it has been said that the price will be 2000 Yuan or $330 USD. At this price it would be a direct competitor for business in China.

Sony hopes to push Android 4.3 to Xperia T, TX, V, SP later this month
Sony is fast at work on the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for their Xperia T, TX, V, and SP smartphones. According to a recent tweet, the handset maker plans to have the software push out beginning later this month and into February. Keep in mind that is will be for the unlocked international models and timing will vary depending on carriers and markets. Seeing as how don't have any of these offered in the U.S. with a wireless provider, the time frame is up in the air for the models you might pick up through channels such as Amazon.

HTC confirms One X and X+ won't be upgraded to Android 4.3 or higher
It looks like Android 4.2.2 will be the end of the upgrade roadmap for the HTC One X and X+, two of the company's primary flagship phones in 2012. The phone maker tweeted out — and later confirmed to the press — that neither handset will be upgraded to Android 4.3 or anything newer. As frustrating as this announcement is, we don't consider ourselves shocked: the original One X launched nearly two years ago, and we speculate that the 15-month-old X+'s Tegra 3 processor may have been the reason for its fate. Take a look at HTC's official statement below.
We can confirm that the HTC One X and One X+ will not receive further Android OS updates beyond Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5. We realize this news will be met with disappointment by some, but our customers should feel confident that we have designed both devices to be optimized with our amazing camera and audio experiences.

These Cookoo analog smartwatches take a minimalistic approach to viewing notifications
Looking for a nice-looking smartwatch but not interested in having the kitchen sink? Cookoo's new set of analog timepieces are about as minimalistic as you can get without removing the "smart" element entirely. The Cognito lineup consists of two models, and although there really isn't much difference between the two, the more expensive one is the more elegant option. The watches promise to be extensions of the phone, rather than replacements, and each features a series of LED icons that light up when you have a notification waiting for you on your handset. The company believes this is the ideal use for a smartwatch, since many people don't care to interact with the notifications that start buzzing on their wrists.
The higher-end Cognito differs from its counterpart by offering Caller ID and giving you the option to mute incoming calls, as well as the ability to tap the watch to light it up so you can see your alerts. Cookoo reps boasted that both watches will easily last up to a year before you need to replace the battery, a remarkable length of time that's likely the result of Bluetooth 4.0+LE support. The watches are compatible with iOS 7 and Android 4.3+, and watch (pun not intended but welcome) for the Cognito Pop to come out near the end of next month for $129, and the Cognito original mid-March for $179.

Why People Do Not Care About Blackberry Anymore
With the rapid development of technology, the world has experienced a lot of dynamism in the development of the electronic devices such as the mobile phones. It is difficult for two weeks to pass before a new type of cell phone is introduced in the market. This has made the field very competitive as it is only the most effective manufacturers who are able to move with speed that can succeed. Many popular brands have been overtaken by other brands because of the failure to meet the standards that customers require. One of the phones that has been affected by the current trends in the industry is the Blackberry. Here are some reasons why people do not care about blackberry anymore.
No fun in blackberry
The blackberry was at one time the only indispensable business tool for many business owners and a large number of multinational companies used it. It represented the means to get connected anytime, anywhere in the world. However, in the modern days no one cares about blackberry anymore. Many people do not find fun in using it because of the introduction of other brands that surpass it in features and other applications.
Failure by blackberry to move with the market pace
One factor that no one cares about BlackBerry anymore is that the BlackBerry has not done the necessary to keep the pace in the industry. Currently, there are a variety of Smartphones in addition to tablet computers that offer computing power as some of the entire laptops used to do some years back. However, the blackberry has failed to keep up with this trend adopted by the Smartphones and tablet computer brands. There are varieties of different Smartphones that have come into the market over the last few years. Blackberry has been forced to compete with the Android Smartphones and iPhone that provides a huge amount of lifestyle, entertainment programs and a huge amount of games. These are some of the features that blackberry failed to adopt making it be overtaken by the iPhone and Smartphones. By the time blackberry realized that other brands were gaining a competitive edge, it introduced the Blackberry App World, but it was too late. This has made it remain behind thus losing popularity among many people.
Introduction of other mobile devices offering same services
Blackberry can still be used in the generic sense, but there are so many other devices that can still be used more conveniently. There are many other devices such as Smartphones and tablets that have come up that provide the services offered by the blackberry and, therefore one does not have to be limited by just using the blackberry. While in the past, it just used to be the blackberry, there are other better options such as Apples or Androids in the modern days. You do not only need one brand to be in touch wherever you are and the advent of such new technologies has opened the many opportunities to do so. People are no longer restricted to just one brand like it used to be in the past when blackberry was the only option. Any mobile devices today can provide all the required services making people not to care about blackberry anymore.

So, I'm starting a new challenge: the 8-week battle! There are lots of things to do and track during this battle.
Things I can track on twitter: Quickfire Challenge, glasses of water drank, minutes of exercise, steps (need to wear my pedometer!!)
Things I can track using spark: water, exercise, steps, sparkpoints earned, posts to support board, posts on people's sparkpages, huddle on team page
Other things I could do: buy new equipment, start a C25K-type program, sign up for a 5K or a swimming/biking event, start a virtual walking tour and track it here.
BTW - if you haven't been to catharticgrumblings.blogspot.com to read all about Terminator Salvation, you should, I thought it was great! Unless you have a phobia of killer robots, then maybe not.
Ok, today was good, I stuck to my portions, and had some yummy food. I had some Food Should Taste Good chips to use up, and I had some with salsa and greek yogurt and cheese, and then I had some with chopped tomato, parmesan, basil, and garlic powder (like bruschetta!). I also made an Italian noodle kugel, more or less. It was a mix of potato noodles, zucchini, summer squash, green pepper, onion, and egg cooked on the stovetop and topped with mozzarella cheese like a fritatta. Then I topped it with bolognese. Yummy! More Italian than kugel, but gotta start out slow with my husband. I'll make a real kugel at some point. especially now that I know I can use potato noodles (kosher for passover = gluten-free!).
I also started this week's turbulence training. I figure I'll do tonight and Tuesday, and sometime between Thursday and Saturday I should be able get one more 30min workout in! However, I may need to find the real bodyweight only ones, because the gym at Allegheny may be hard to get to.
Ok, onward with the transformation!!
So, Philly definitely hit me hard, whoops!
Weight: 159.6 -- 157.2
Should still come down though from bloat etc. in the next couple of days
smallest part of my waist just above belly button: 33.5 -- 32.5, barely any increase, whew!
hips at hip bone bump: 36.5 -- 38
widest part of my belly: 38 -- 36.5 hips and belly, so weird! Maybe I'm finally storing fat in the appropriate location, hehe!
bra strap location: 33 -- 33
widest part of my bust in a loose bra: 41.5 -- 41
center of bicep with arm outstretched: 12 -- 11
thigh, one span higher than my kneecap: 21.5 -- 22 -I measured this standing for the first time, I think that made a difference. Thighs are hard to get consistent
neck just above collar bones: 13.5 -- 12 - umm, I lost neck?
Body fat online 29.2% -- 31.64% it has to be the wierd hip thing! Maybe I just need to measure better, and first thing in the morning and today it is nearly dinner time, whoops!
I won't get to this stuff next Sat, maybe I'll update Wed. before my next trip and hop for better numbers. Oh well, at least I'm being accountable and posting right?
Pics anyone? I did side again finally.
Well, I still look better than the initial pic!
This one is hard to tell. I think it's better, my belly doesn't quite stick out as much.
I'm back!
I had a great time on my trip. I connected with people, saw some great Philly landmarks like the Liberty Bell, the Franklin Institute, and the Mutter Museum, and ate some good food.
On that last note. I may not have stuck as well to my plan as I wanted to. Here are the trip pros/cons.
I'll start with the bad: ate too much overall, grabbed chocolated from vendors without thinking, drank too much at dinner (every night), indulged in a few wheat containing items and high fat items, had ice cream three times
The good stuff: walked everywhere (at least 0.7 miles between hotel and conference center), worked out every morning plus Turbulence Training two afternoons, plus intervals one afternoon, many of my snacks were things I brought and the food was kept to meals, never stuffed myself, left food on my plate at dinner/lunch 3-4 times. Those last two are important for me. I tend to chow down on my whole plate until I feel stuffed, and completely miss the "just full" point. This time, I looked at the plates, determined there was too much, and left it. That is new, and I will take it as a major improvement!
As of this morning, the scale said I had gained 7 lbs to 159.8, I suspect that will drop dramatically between this morning and tomorrow. Especially since for most of today I ate vegetables with some protein bits thrown in, and I intend to continue that trend through Sunday. Low-carb plus tough workouts should bring me back to normal quickly.
However, we are leaving Thursday morning to drive 8 hours to PA for my reunion/seeing Bill's family. This trip won't have as many food-related events though. In Philly I had to eat chopped liver and a cheesesteak (in a bowl, but still whiz with!) and go to Morimoto's restaurant (which was AWESOME!). For the reunion, I just have to sing and have heart with Bill's family. I can have heart and a salad no problem I think. Not eating wheat should also keep me in the clear since I will be drastically limited at the reunion meals. Workouts might be tougher on this trip, but I'll just have to make a plan, and stick with it!
Ok, I am off to clip some coupons and get some sleep.
Sat = weigh-in day!
Weight: 159.6 -- 153.2
No change from last week, but it happens.
smallest part of my waist just above belly button: 33.5 -- 32.0 - woohoo! Lost another inch!
hips at hip bone bump: 36.5 -- 36.5
widest part of my belly: 38 -- 37.5
bra strap location: 33 -- 32
widest part of my bust in a loose bra: 41.5 -- 40.5
center of bicep with arm outstretched: 12 -- 11
thigh, one span higher than my kneecap: 21.5 -- 20.5
neck just above collar bones: 13.5 -- 13.25
Body fat online 29.2% -- 27.6% --> totally realized I had been using the wrong inches for my hieght, whoops! Fixed both numbers
Okay, here we go, April 26th on the left, May 16th on the right
Hey, I'm starting to look good! From the front anyway, I should take a side picture next week.
Ok, gotta pack for the convention. Gonna be crazy busy with packing and prepping and stuff. Watch the twitter for updates, much more likely than blog entries this week.
I am a miracle worker -- tonight I had Green Bean Casserole -- gluten-free!!
Here's how:
step 1: make the crispy onions
Slice onions into thin strips (it mostly comes apart this way)
Batter with egg yolk and cornstarch (I used 1 egg yolk and 2 tbsp cornstarch for about 1/2 medium onion)
Bake at 450, moving often (I charred a few, watch carefully!)
step 2: make the "cream of something" soup
I went for onion/celery - processed them into tiny pieces, classic would call for mushrooms, but my husband hates mushrooms and I only slightly tolerate them
melt 2 tbsp butter/margarine/buttery spread, and add 2 tbsp flour (I used millet) to make a roux (thick paste)
add 1/3cup nonfat dry milk and 1 cup chicken/veggie stock (preferably homemade!) and processed veggies of choice
heat over medium until thickened, season (I use sea salt and Mrs. Dash)
Now: mix everything together, the soup, the crispy onions, and 2 cups of green beans (this recipe is for 2 people, double it for a family) and bake at 350 for about 15-20min.
It was perfect! I served it with mashed red potatoes and parmesan chicken (chicken baked with parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic salt on it)
Tonight it is raining, so we won't be walking outside, so I will do a Leslie video instead, perhaps Walk and Jog or Walk and Kick, I have some energy to burn off! today for some reason!
Keep following me on twitter for a minute by minute account of my fat loss journey! @Ivory1825
I can't believe it is onlyThursday, this week has been going so slowly. I think it is because I am excited to go to Philly on Sunday! I have a whole list of snacks I need to bring with me to survive without eating junk (or wheat!): Greek yogurt, cereal, low-carb shakes, peanut butter, fruit, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, nuts, soyjoys. I think i'll make it!
Ok, off to exercise and burn more fat ... yay!

Man Arrested for Trying to Smuggle Assault Rifle into Mexico
POSTED: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - 4:18pm
UPDATED: Thursday, February 2, 2012 - 1:45pm
Nestor Saucedo carried a toy box as he tried to walk across the bridge, but not only was a toy inside, sheriff deputies also found an AK-47 Assault Rifle.
Sheriff deputies, along with federal agents patrol the port of entries and are on the lookout for anything that's illegal. They try to stop illegal smuggling from entering the Mexican border and on Monday night, they did. Cameron County Sheriff deputies stopped the 20-year-old from possibly selling the assault rifle to the drug cartels in México.
"Many of the weapons that are bought here in the United States and they are out there and they're used by the drug cartels and it is very vital that we stop every gun."
Saucedo tried to walk across with the toy box Monday evening. Sheriff deputies say the man looked suspicious so they stopped him for questioning.
Deputies asked the suspect if they could see if a toy was in fact, inside. When they looked inside, authorities did find a piece of the small toddler bike but they also found the weapon, which is definitely not part of the toy.
Saucedo is only 20 years old. He's a Mexican national and lived in Matamoros. Sheriff, Omar Lucio, says Saucedo is only one of the many people who do the dirty work for the cartels nowadays.
"They hire young people to do, some of what is known as, commonly known here as dirty work to go ahead and either shoot someone or to get the weapons across."
It is not certainly known if Saucedo was giving the rifle to a drug cartel organization or selling it somewhere else. Sheriff Lucio says this type of weapon is valued at about $1,000 in the U.S. In México, however, the rifle can cost thousands of dollars more.
Saucedo remains in federal custody awaiting weapon smuggling charges.

Report: Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs to talk about a Jeff Samardzija trade
The Arizona Diamondbacks may be turning to the trade market in an effort to bolster their starting rotation.
According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the team is expected to resume trade talks with the Chicago Cubs about right-hander Jeff Samardzija.
A 28-year-old, Samardzija went 8-13 with a 4.34 ERA in 33 starts for the Cubs last season. He struck out 214 batters in 213.2 innings pitched.
For his career, the former Notre Dame wide receiver is 29-35 with a 4.19 ERA. The Cubs may be looking to trade him because the sides are unable to agree on a contract extension.

Welcome to GCC!
When I was growing up, most students progressed through their formal schooling in a very predictable way: elementary school, followed by high school, and for a minority of high school graduates, college immediately followed high school graduation. For an even more select minority, graduate school followed college.
I have met students who began college at some point in the past, took a few years "off" to raise a child (or several), and then returned in search of a degree.
I have met men and women who took pride in the completion of successful careers, but returned to college in the hope of exciting new career challenges.
I have met veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan wishing to complete their education, longtime employees of regional businesses returning to college after suffering a layoff, grandparents eager to participate in college courses after years of anticipation.
All of these enthusiastic students have a message for us: education can – and should – happen throughout our lives.
My hope is that every member of our community will make a commitment to lifelong education. We all have the ability to learn new things, and deep inside we all have the motivation and curiosity to learn. Whether you desire formal education in a classroom or informal education through books, media, or new experiences, I challenge you to seek new knowledge and skills.

Women: Strong and Independent until things start to become a bit difficult
Photograph by Maya Sherpa
Published August 7, 2014
On July 26 at 3:35 p.m., after 16 grueling hours of climbing from Camp 4, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa, Dawa Yangzum Sherpa, and Maya Sherpa crested the 28,251-foot (8,611-meter) summit of K2, the second highest mountain in the world.
In doing so, the three Nepali women have laid claim to being the first all-female team to climb what many mountaineers consider a much tougher challenge than Everest.
"For us, it was our dream come true," Pasang Lhamu, 30, said in a telephone interview from Skardu, Pakistan, where the team arrived on August 2, after four days of hiking and driving from K2's base camp.
The feat was trumpeted in climbing circles as a breakthrough achievement for women in high-altitude mountaineering. Straddling the Chinese-Pakistani border in the heart of the Karakoram Range, 65 miles (105 kilometers) from the nearest village, K2 is regarded as one of the most difficult and dangerous peaks on the planet.
Only 18 of the 376 people who have summited K2 have been women, compared to the 372 women (of 4,034 climbers) who have stood atop Everest. For about every five people who have summited K2, one has died in the process, according to statistics provided by Eberhard Jurgalski, a K2 historian.
However, as details emerge about the Nepali women's climb, uncomfortable questions about the nature of their claim have begun to arise. Three male Sherpas accompanied the women to the summit, and the women climbed as a part of a larger guided group led by the trekking outfitter Seven Summit Treks, which included a male guide, six additional climbers (four of them men), and at least six more male Sherpas, all of whom also summited with the Nepali women.
It raises the question: What counts as an "all-female summit"?
"I don't think their accomplishment is diminished—it's just different," said Hilaree O'Neill, a professional ski mountaineer, who climbed Everest with Dawa Yangzum, 25, in 2012.
Questions about an expedition's true merit are not new to mountaineering. In 1978, Arlene Blum led the first successful American ascent of Annapurna with an all-female team. Her feat came under scrutiny due, in part, to the fact that male porters had supported her team. "Two years earlier in 1976, the American bicentennial Everest expedition ... was supported by 40 Sherpas. Does that diminish the climb being an American one?" Blum asked.
Girl Power
From the outset, girl power has been central to the recent K2 expedition, which its planners called the "First Nepalese Women's K2 Expedition 2014." Pasang Lhamu, Dawa Yangzum, and Maya Sherpa, who are accomplished climbers (Pasang Lhamu and Dawa Yangzum are graduates of the Khumbu Climbing Center, and Maya Sherpa was the first Nepali woman to summit Cho Oyu), wanted to use their K2 climb as a vehicle to inspire women in their country and worldwide.
"We wanted to show women that if you just follow your dreams, even if you are a woman, you can do anything. Nothing is impossible," Pasang Lhamu said.
Nepali women have virtually no voice in the political, social, or domestic spheres.
"We're not talking about American or European women—we're talking about Nepali women, who have a very different sense of feminism and their place in the world and in mountaineering than, say, someone like myself," said O'Neill.
"It's still an amazing accomplishment because they have a lot of social constraints that they are overcoming, regardless if men were on it," she said.
K2's remoteness and difficulty make the need for support from porters even more crucial. Porters are commonly used in different capacities on expeditions, from cooking and carrying gear to fixing ropes on a route. Perhaps their biggest role is to maximize a climber's chances for success.
Mountain guide Arnold Coster, the husband of Maya Sherpa, who was in close contact with the women as they climbed K2, explained that the women's team operated independently within the Seven Summit team. "They made their own decisions, carried their own gear, but when it was summit time, the whole group had to work together," he said.
The fact that they teamed up with another group is not unusual. Terrain and weather generally dictate where and when teams move, so expeditions on many major mountains often blend together.
Male-Dominated Structure
Even if the Nepali women had wanted an all-female support team, it would have been nearly impossible. "The entire structure of Himalaya expeditions is 99.9 percent male-dominated, from the porters to the cooks to the waiters who serve and clean," O'Neill said.
However small the male Sherpas' involvement in the women's climb, for some, it changes the nature of the feat.
"I would personally not call it an all-female team or an all-female climb," said Kit DesLauriers, the first person to ski the seven summits. "All teammates are critical in a mountain endeavor, and in my book that barrier does not exclude hired climbing help."
She added, "I would not say it diminishes their accomplishment because that would be holding absolutely everyone to some base standard that is extraordinarily high, such as to do every climb without any assistance in any way whether Sherpa, porter, guide, oxygen."
However, some women do hold themselves to this extraordinarily high standard. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, the first woman to summit all of the world's 8,000-meter peaks without supplemental oxygen, is vigilant about refusing help from men, or any support at all, when tackling high-altitude objectives.
"In a team, for me, it is important as a woman that I am completely accepted like the men members and that I can carry the same-weight backpack as men," said Kaltenbrunner, who climbed K2, and the rest of the 8,000-meter peaks, without high-altitude porters. (Read the exclusive National Geographic account of her expedition.)
The ongoing debate about style isn't likely to be resolved soon. In the meantime, women will continue to advance the sport forward, moving toward the next frontier, which isn't all that different for them than it is for men, according to Conrad Anker, a three-time Everest summiteer.
"Probably the next thing for women alpine climbers is to go out and do demanding new routes," he said. "Repeating the standard route is great, but a new route on K2—and there's plenty of opportunities—by a woman would be a total breakthrough. Regardless of gender, that would be a remarkable thing."
Kelley McMillan is a freelance journalist based in Boston.
It is great to see females leading the climb and men doing the cooking and cleaning for a change,
Let's see; Current planet population: approx 7 billion. Number who have scaled K2: 376. Number of women: 18. Awesome feat. If they need to label it, how about "first all female team to lead a climb to the summit of K2".
Kudos! though I'm no mountaineer, i am always amazed by the faith and courage such of your kind. Great!
Thumbs up for the Nepali women! I hope the day will come when debates like this will be a thing of the past. It shouldn't be necessary to convince anyone that women are just as capeable and strong as men.
This statement sums it up: "Even if the Nepali women had wanted an all-female support team, it would have been nearly impossible."
K2 while not as commercial as Mount Everest is becoming crowded, look at the picture Dawa Sherpa took at sunrise on the mountain. Who can really say an expedition is all female, unless you use nothing but females to carry the gear to each camp and exclude men from the mountain on summit day.
Close enough for me.
Well done
If it is the first time they have done it, then that is an achievement. I don't understand why this is controversial? The fact they are women, in my opinion has no bearing on how easy or hard it is to climb. That is down to individual fitness. Call me when someone obese reaches the summit and I will be impressed!
My sentiments exactly Sabrina.
Regardless, an awesome feat...
It's a bit misleading to call it an "all female" team when there were only 3 women, and at least 14 men actively involved. It would be more appropriate to say it was a team comprised of both genders, and it doesn't diminish the accomplishments of the three women in any way, shape or form.

I have been working at StarbucksPros
excellent environment, great staff, excellent customers to serve. The atmosphere is excellent especially for people looking for a first time job, because it is not a generic fast food place, but is still easy enough to learn with practice. Starbucks can also be an excellent teacher of time management, as it is critical to balance customer service, friendly conversation and speed of service. An excellent thing about Starbucks is that unlike franchises, you can work at any US location immediately, need extra cash while on vacation, pick up a shift at the local Starbucks! Tips are also awesome, as they are paid in cash weekly.Cons
pay could use a boost, right now it is only a few cents above minimum wage, and upward movement is severely restricted due to the economic crisis. In general chances to move up might require you to transfer to a different Starbucks location, so it really depends on how badly you want to move up. A Starbucks with a drive thru can be very stressful and several key positions require excellent multitasking abilities. Newer employees cannot work fast enough to handle demand and as such it can create a strained work environment prone to irritation and aggravation by fellow employees.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Amazing coroporation with a high level of corporate social responsibility. It provides not only coffee, but a third place environment and cares for it's partners(employees) and neighbourhoods which they do business. There are continually opportunities to shine and show one's dedication towards their work, and Starbucks has much infrastructure in place to support personal growth and development. During my duration with the company, I felt complete respect for the brand and environment which Howard has created, and enjoyed coming to work to recreate his dream. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking to work in a postive retail environment.Cons

What a gem of a park and a great value for full hookups. Campground is part of city park complex that includes golf, tennis, and other sports. Most sites are huge and spaced far apart. Sites and roads are gravel/dirt so with some rain I could see some problems. Our site was level and could hold two big rigs with tow vehicles. There are trees but we were able to use our satellite dish. This is definitely a park we are keeping on our list when on I-40. - mcharland
Stopped here for an overnighter on our way west on I-40. The campground is located in a large city park about a mile off the interstate. Roads and sites in the campground are gravel. Sites are level. The city park offers a public pool and mini-golf. Sites are first-come first-serve, payment by cash in a lock box. Security is provided by periodic city police patrols. This was a very pleasant overnight stop. We would stop here again. - tnyankee
As stated before this is a city park that is nice and open with trees and level sites. There are plenty of 50 amp sites as well as 30. The park is nice and clean and well maintained and for the price is a great bargain. It is a couple of miles from the interstate so there is no highway noise. We would definitely stay here again. - c1dancer

Sounds like your transmission cooler hoses may be leaking or possibly power steering hoses/lines. I recommend getting the leak inspected as soon as possible to avoid any consequential problems from low fluid levels.

When later telling Tsubaki about it, she reveals to him that she heard a voice saying that he would be her very first intimate partner. Urabe is very knowledgeable about the bond of drool that she and Tsubaki share. She displays her feeling through her drool, as her face is generally hidden behind her bangs. She has been shown to see Tsubaki's dreams through his drool, as well as use her own drool to cause him to have certain dreams. As the series progresses, she makes friends with Ayuko Oka , who also happens to share a drool bond with Urabe. Although she generally keeps quiet about her private life, she has been shown to be very sincere to her boyfriend, Tsubaki.
By nature Urabe is a girl of few words and very little facial expression. To the outside observer she seems to have very few visible emotions, this however is but a front. In reality Urabe is very much a normal teenage girl if some what different. She is shown to get embarrassed at the idea of anyone seeing her naked or even seeing her panties if her pantie scissors are not in them. She is revealed to have been giddily happy when Tsubaki told her he thought she looked nice in her swim-suit when the emotion is translated through Tsubaki and even becomes embarrassed when Tsubaki reveals he knows that she was happy even running away in embarrassment. She has very defined rules about her personal space not allowing Tsubaki to even touch unless she so wishes even attacking him should he try, this is contradicted by her during chapter 21 allowing him to touch her breast when she found out he had been thinking about it. She has a rather possessive personality, getting really jealous when he looks at other girls, including girls in magazines (especially Imai Momoka who looks just like her) where she shreds them with her scissors. Though she always has a monotone expression, she has been seen reacting erratically if she accidentally injures Tsubaki, which suggests that her control over her emotions is starting to crack. Urabe is in love with Tsubaki but has yet to tell him so save for in a very round about fashion, she painted the fact onto her body and had him taste her drool. She has an immense love for cats often becoming distracted when they are around. When a cat ignored her once she became so upset that Tsubaki cried when he tasted her drool.
Scissor SkillsEdit
Among her many other quirks, Urabe is notable for her skill with scissors. The scissors, which she keeps tucked in her underwear, can be used to dextrously cut objects at high speed, like making a nearby hedge resemble Tsubaki. The scissors are used as threats, displays of anger, and as a defensive measure. This is but one of the factors that keeps Tsubaki from being more forward and aggressive with their relationship, although he seems to be generally fine with following Urabe pace.
Physical AppearanceEdit
Urabe is a girl of average height characterized by her unruly thick black hair which falls over half her face. Ironically, under all that hair she is very beautiful to the point that it causes quite a stir at her school when she has her hair done up for one day. Despite her age, she has a very developed figure. She is shown on multiple occasions to have quite large breasts and a physically fit body. Tsubaki has often commented on how nice her body looks to him. When she is not in her school uniform she is seen to dress very nicely. She does, however, always wear a dress as she keeps her scissors in her panties. During winter, when it is cold, she wears a garter belt so that she can still keep her scissors hidden.
