A community says goodbye to its cheerleading coach
On Sunday, family and friends gathered for the funeral of a beloved Edgecombe County cheerleading coach, Teresa Summerlin-Mobley.
On Sept. 12th, 2013, Mobley lost her year-long battle with Leukemia.
It's a story 9 On Your Side first told you about in October of 2012. That's when the community held several fundraisers and drives to find Mobley a bone marrow donor. Mobley found a donor; however, it wasn't enough to save her life.
On Friday, just one day after her death, Mobley's son joined his South West Edgecombe teammates in a moment of silence at their football game against Tarboro.
Mobley's funeral was held at South West Edgecombe High School.
Mobley is survived by four children and a husband. She was just 33-years-old.
------------------------------------------------------------previous story------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TARBORO, N.C. -- A donor drive at Southwest Edgecombe High School helped a mother of four find suitable bone marrow donor.
One of Teresa Mobley's cousins was a match and will now undergo more testing before the surgery can begin.
Mobley is hopeful that December will bring with it her successfull transplant surgery and the end of her battle with cancer.
TARBORO, N.C. – She's facing the hardest battle of her life, but Teresa Mobley refuses to give up.
The Tarboro mother of four has cancer and needs a bone marrow transplant to survive.
Ask any of her four kids and they'll tell you why they love their mom.
"She snuggles with me," said 4-year-old McKenlee Mobley.
"She's very strong and supportive," said 14-year-old, Jarratt Mobley.
"She knows how to fight a battle when there is. And she don't let nobody talk to us bad," said 9-year-old Brayden Mobley.
And that love for their mom, just got even stronger.
In August, Teresa's health took a turn for the worse. Doctors diagnosed her with Leukemia.
"The first thing I said was that it wasn't fair to my kids and that's probably what I've repeated over and over again," said Teresa Mobley.
But Teresa hasn't let her diagnosis slow her down. She's still a dedicated cheerleading coach at Southwest Edgecombe High School, where two of her kids go to school... and they say she never misses a game.
"I'm still mommy and that's my most important job and I'm still wife and that's my second most important job," Mobley said.
"She's like Supermom. She's always at baseball games and cheerleading stuff even when she didn't feel good. She had a bone marrow biopsy and she was at cheerleading practice that afternoon," said Summerlin.
Now Teresa's oldest daughter, Tonia, is making sure cancer doesn't get the best of her mom.
"You get mad and then you're upset about it and then you ask why but then you come to a point where you're just headstrong and you know you're going to beat it and everything is going to be okay," said Tonia.
She organized a bone marrow drive in hopes her mom, and others in the same situation, might find a match.
"Unfortunately I'm now an only child. I had a sister that passed away when she was four. Normally with a bone marrow transplant your match is your sibling," said Teresa.
"Maybe we could find a donor for Teresa and if not for Teresa then for someone that's out there that's going through the same thing," said Mobley's aunt, Mary Holland.
Regardless of the path they go down, this family says they're in the fight together.
"I think the main thing i want them to realize is that life isn't always fair but that god gives his toughest battles to his toughest warriors and that's what i think he's done here," said Teresa.
Registering to be a bone marrow donor is easy. All it takes is a simple cheek swab.

Fay Weldon
St. Martin's Griffin
From the award-winning novelist and writer of Upstairs Downstairs, the launch of a brilliant new trilogy about what life was really like for masters and servants before the world of Downton Abbey
As the Season of 1899 comes to an end, the world is poised on the brink of profound, irrevocable change. The Earl of Dilberne is facing serious financial concerns. The ripple effects spread to everyone in the household: Lord Robert, who has gambled unwisely on the stock market and seeks a place in the Cabinet; his unmarried children, Arthur, who keeps a courtesan, and Rosina, who keeps a parrot in her bedroom; Lord Robert's wife Isobel, who orders the affairs of the household in Belgrave Square; and Grace, the lady's maid who orders the life of her mistress.
Lord Robert can see no financial relief to an already mortgaged estate, and, though the Season is over, his thoughts turn to securing a suitable wife (and dowry) for his son. The arrival on the London scene of Minnie, a beautiful Chicago heiress with a reputation to mend, seems the answer to all their prayers.
As the writer of the pilot episode of the original Upstairs, Downstairs—Fay Weldon brings a deserved reputation for magnificent storytelling. With wit and sympathy—and no small measure of mischief—Habits of the House plots the interplay of restraint and desire, manners and morals, reason and instinct.
Listen to an excerpt of Habits of the House, the new novel by Fay Weldon. Read by Katherine Kellgren.
"Good fun from start to finish, thanks to breezy storytelling and witty social observations." —The Washington Post
"Weldon brilliantly captuures the rituals above stairs and the gossip below stairs...Habits of the House is an absorbing and worthwhile read." —Star Tribune
"Before there was Downton Abbey, there was Upstairs Downtstairs and, having written the first episode of that iconic television series, it is only fitting that Weldon now returns to the scene of the crime to further explore the disparate worlds of 'them that has and those what serve 'em.'" —Booklist
"[Habits of the House] succeeds as an opening to a new series." —Publishers Weekly
"An entertaining romp for Downton Abbey fans. . . . Weldon did the screenwriting for the first episode of Upstairs Downstairs so she has form in this arena." —The Guardian
"I predict a happy success for the trilogy, in print and on the screen. Julian Fellowes must look to his laurels, and Downton Abbey may find itself running second to 17 Belgrave Square." —The Scotsman
"My favorite part of the original series is the first episode because it was written by a great English novelist, Fay Weldon. Everybody was introduced so cleverly . . . so beautifully established." —Jean Marsh, co-creator of Upstairs, Downstairs
"There is simply no touching Weldon as a writer." —The Observer (UK)

So glad I found this!
Comments about Girl's Giraffe Girl T-shirt:
I thought the giraffe was a little small, but still super cute! Order a size or two bigger as the shirt also runs small. My daughter wears 2T-3T. I ordered 4T and it fits perfect.
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Several law enforcement agencies responded on Thursday night a
shooting near exit 100 on Interstate 20/59 in eastern Tuscaloosa County.
Authorities say they're looking for a suspect.
8:30 p.m. on Thursday night, Lakeview police and Tuscaloosa County
Sheriff's deputies responded to a traffic accident on Interstate 20/59
near exit 100. When they got there, they found two cars crashed.
A 40-year-old man was lying on the ground. He had been shot at least
once in the chest and was dead. A 37-year-old man had minor injuries
from the wreck. He was taken to DCH.
Police spent hours searching for the suspect. They had help from
several witnesses. One woman who said the suspect actually came and
knocked on her car window while she was stuck in traffic. She says it
was the scariest moment of her life. Kenyotta Mayes describes the
suspect as a black man, 5'9, and heavyset. She says he was wearing a
brown hat, brown jacket and blue jeans.
If you have information that could help police, call Tuscaloosa County Crime Stoppers at 752- STOP.

Nothing like hearing your name uttered by the President of the United States. Even better – hearing him talk about you in a room full of bow-tied celebs.
Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy (aka "The Snowman") was the centerpiece of comments made by President Barack Obama at Saturday's annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, when the music-lovin' leader told the crowd that he sings Jeezy's songs to wife Michelle.
"In my first term I sang Al Green. In my second term, I'm going with Young Jeezy," President Obama joked.
The rapper, whose last two hits, "I Do" and "Leave You Alone," featured fellow Atlantans Andre 3000 and Ne-Yo, respectively, replied to President Obama on Twitter, saying, "Shout out to @BarackObama. You know they love the snowman in the white house."

MenAfriVac® breaks the cold chain barrier!
19 February 2014—A study published online today in the journal Vaccine shows that removing the pioneering vaccine from constant refrigeration is not only safe but could extend vaccination coverage to the remotest regions in sub-Saharan Africa.
A second study published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization shows that cutting out the cold chain could halve storage and vaccine transportation costs.
MenAfriVac®, which is manufactured by Serum Institute of India Ltd., is the first vaccine allowed to travel outside of the cold chain in Africa. As shown in the above photograph, there are no ice packs in the vaccine box, and a peak threshold indicator tells the vaccinators if the vaccine has reached its limit and needs to be discarded.

Toy Story 3: Kid-tested, Grandmother-Approved 3DFriday, July 09, 2010
Posted July 9. 2010 by Jennifer Davis
Last week, I loaded the kids, nieces, and Grandma up to go to see Toy Story 3 in 3D. The small theater in their hometown in West Texas only had only 3D auditorium, outfitted with RealD® and a Harkness® silver screen.
Grandma had never seen a movie in 3D and was pretty apprehensive. She was convinced that she'd have a horrible experience based on previous car sickness episodes and what she had heard from my aunt, who literally got sick after Avatar. We got to the theater early, so that I could find her a seat in the optimal spot for viewing. We settled in to the row for the show to start. I must say the kids looked adorable in their petite-sized glasses (which I was thankful for, as not all theaters offer them). The show started soon enough and once the preview for "Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" started, I had my four-year old on my lap.
Toy Story 3 is a cute story with too many sub-plots to outline here. It introduces us (and the aisles at Target) to a whole new cast of merchandisable characters. My least favorite was probably the Ken doll (voiced by decidedly un-metrosexual Michael Keaton), who vacillated between shrewd cruelty and bubble-gum perkiness, but what can you expect from a toy that Mr. Potato Head called an "accessory. A walking handbag." The movie had a scary part when…okay, I won't spoil your fun, but when I asked my daughter what she liked about the movie, she did tell me that she liked "all of it…except for the lava."
At the end of the movie, Grandma was fine. The eyes took a bit of adjustment, but she seemed no worse for the 3D wear. The 3D was pretty subtle (adding depth not in-your-face antics) and didn't really take away from the story (as it has been known to do). The kids probably would have enjoyed the movie just as much (and probably my preschooler might have enjoyed it more) in 2D, but it was a fun family outing that kept us out of the muggy Texas heat and allowed us all to play one last time and say our good-byes to some of the most beloved movie characters of all times.

Runco Staff Review - Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others)Wednesday, June 09, 2010
By Andrew Morgen
In East Germany under the Communist regime, half of the populace was spying on the other half. This was carried out by a network of informers and bureaucrats called the Ministerium fur Staatssicherheit, which in typical German fashion, was commonly shortened to "Stasi."
The Stasi were experts at interrogation, intimidation, and covert surveillance. The Lives of Others is the fictional story of Gerd Wiesler, one of the Stasi's best operatives, as he investigates Georg Dreyman, a prominent playwright and author. In the course of this investigation, both men are changed in profound ways.
Too often in films and books, people who live under oppressive regimes are classified in one of two ways: someone is either a downtrodden member of the population who rises against the oppressor, or a member of the bureaucracy who does the oppressing - but who doesn't really believe, and is usually just in it for personal gain. This ignores the fact that in many cases, people were true believers. In this film, Wiesler is a true believer.
He spends his days in an attic above Dreyman's apartment, listening to another man's life and reporting on his activities. Dreyman's life is full of love, friends and art. Wiesler spends his nights in a stark socialist apartment, a place with no personal touches, where even the couch looks hard and unwelcoming.
One day, Wiesler hears Dreyman play a piano piece in memory of his dead friend, "Sonata for a Good Man" (which was composed especially for this film), and something changes inside him. He comes to the realization that these people, whom he has been taught to regard as enemies or "others," have lives of worth and meaning and deserve to be protected from oppression.
Shot in muted grays and pale greens, the film highlights the beauty of the spirit in spite of bleak surroundings and would look spectacular on a Runco LightStyle LS-5 1080p DLP projector. There is no shouting in this film. All communication is in normal conversational tones, whether one is discussing Berthold Brecht or the best way to break a prisoner.
This film ultimately shows that all humans, no matter their circumstances, have free will and the opportunity to affect the lives of others.

Zeste de Vigne, a radiant, generous and intensely optimistic fresh fragrance, recall the sun at its zenith bathing the citrus trees of the Smith Haut Lafitte vineyard's orangery with its dazzling sparkles of light.
Zeste de Vigne Caudalie Fresh Fragrance collection Express the feeling of a stroll through the vines, at dawn, noon and dusk. Every hour of a summer's day at the Smith Haut Lafitte vineyard, daylights and colors change, shadows stretch or dwindle, a subtle warmth rises or falls. Nature delicately perfumes the air. To share the charming experience of the vines, Mathilde Thomas, founder of Caudalie, created a collection of light fresh fragrances inspired by the vineyard, with three master perfumers (Anne Flipo, Francis Kurkdjian and Jacques Cavalier).
Benedicte de Lescure, a young emerging designer, created three bottles and boxes etched with modern designs inspired by the grape vine.
Key notes: Sweet lemon - Petit Grain - Bergamot
In typical French tradition, the orangery is a "winter garden" where citrus trees grow. At Smith Haut Lafitte, the rich scents of the orangery oak wood barrels meld with citrus trees.
The wrinkled tree leaves diffuse the perfectly characteristic fragrance of their fruits. Lemon, sweet orange, bitter orange and vivid mandarin.
To soften this tangy effervescence of the top notes and body of the fragrance, Francis Kurkdjian choose a java patchouli and touches of moss to provide balance and depth to the scent.
* Ingredient Note: Origine vegetale - Plant origin

Last Friday, head coach Jose Luis Sanchez Solá spoke with W Radio 690 AM on Chivas USA. Here's a translation of the key points mentioned in the interview:
On Chivas USA's bye week:
In this club, if it rains lemons, we make lemonade and we get the most out of it. We take advantage and work on getting the players in shape, recover the players that are injured; we've gotten the most out of it, it's been a good week.
On team performance so far this season:
I'm very thankful with the team because they're all at my disposition, they all want to play, they want to standout, they all want more so everyone is very attentive and since I've been here, I haven't had a single conflict with the players. That's huge because I expect the most out of the players everyday and they've supported me, they've understood my methods and followed my orders every day.
His coaching method:
All the soccer players in the world want to win. Then there are dumb coaches that don't tell them how, so I coordinate with all the efforts that they make and the huge list of efforts they need to win. I speak honestly with the player and in that way, they know where they stand, what they have to do and it simplifies their activity and at that point, they already know they want to win.
The player always wants to win, but we stupid coaches don't give them the tools to win. If they miss goals, it's because we don't give them the tools; if they don't give their all, it's because we haven't trained for that. I have to protect the players, give them the tools and with those tools, they decide.
On Chivas USA's next game vs. Colorado Rapids:
We've gained a three-game unbeaten streak, two wins, and hopefully this group can get used to that. We have a lot of fun when we win, we've been improving, this week we've improved a lot in what we've been working on, and we have to take advantage of that good streak we've been having.

The Draper man accused of kidnapping of a 13-year-old Herriman girl and hiding her in his home for two days as hundreds searched for her made his first appearance in court Wednesday.
Angel Vizuet Garcia, 55, walked into the 3rd District courtroom shackled and bound. He wore a yellow jumpsuit and stood silently as a judge rattled off the charges: child kidnapping, obstruction of justice and reckless endangerment.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
These charges, a first-degree felony, second-degree felony and class A misdemeanor, respectively, could amount to life in prison.
But the man who would commit those crimes does not sound to Pimmie R. Lopez like the neighbor he has known for three years.
Lopez sat in the gallery through Garcia's brief appearance.
The court scheduled a hearing for Feb. 12 in West Jordan and sent Garcia back to the Salt Lake County jail, where he remained in lieu of $150,000 bail.
Afterward, Lopez spoke with Garcia's defense attorney, Mary Corporon, behind closed doors.
He later said he wanted to make sure that "what has been shown in the media is not the person we [neighbors] know."
Garcia, a single father of two, was known throughout his close-knit community as responsible and helpful, Lopez said.
"He's the kind of father anyone would be proud to know," said Lopez, who noted Garcia has been a single dad since his wife died of cancer two years ago.
"These charges are clearly serious," he said. "But I do believe that underneath it all, he was really trying to be helpful and wanted to care for this person he'd known for years, a friend of the family."
This friend was 13-year-old Brooklyn Gittins who disappeared from her home the night of Jan. 8 wearing pajamas, no shoes and no glasses.
After a two-day, community-wide search, Gittins called her grandparents from a Wal-Mart store in South Jordan. For several days, Gittins said nothing about where she had gone.
The teen eventually revealed that Garcia picked her up after she had called him using a pre-paid phone Garcia had given her.
In the time she was gone, police looked for the blond-haired girl at Garcia's home. Although she was hiding inside his home, court documents state, Garcia told investigators he had not seen Gittins since July.
She hid out of sight in a van as Garcia left the house to pick up his daughter from school, according to court documents.
Later that same night, Garcia drove Gittins to an area Wal-Mart so she could call her grandparents, according to the documents.

Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy S III smartphones may not be available for sale if Apple gets its way.
Nearly 3 out of 4 smartphones sold between July and September were Android devices, according to a new report.
Gartner Inc, a research firm, reported that Google's Android-based smartphones accounted for 72.4 percent of all smartphones sales in the third quarter, according to the Los Angeles Times. The number is up from 52.6 percent last year.
The reason? Samsung's products seemed to be the biggest piece of that puzzle. People wanted Samsung phones and most of their phones run on Android.

Why 30 is the new 20: Meet the 'emerging adult'
Researcher Jeffrey Arnett says the period from 18 to 30 is now a new life stage on a longer path to maturity.
Really, 30 is the new 20? Forget that series Netflix (NFLX) is reviving -- this is arrested development.
Jeffrey Arnett, a research professor in the psychology department at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., and the author of "When Will My Grown-Up Kid Grow Up? Loving and Understanding Your Emerging Adult," has devised a theory that considers the period from 18 to 30 a "new life stage between adolescence and young adulthood."
Arnett posits that 20 was the accepted age for hitting adulthood 50 years ago, but folks around that age today are just starting to sort out their careers and lives and are putting off marriage and children until after 30.
That line of thinking has already sparked a mini backlash among folks like Susan Patton, the mother of a Princeton University student who advised the school's female students to find a husband before graduating. It was also the topic of a long thesis by Newsweek writer Megan McArdle, who warned that families may not get the number of children they want if they wait until they're financially and socially stable before having them.
McArdle notes that college grads who wait until they're 30 or older to get married report an average annual income of $50,000 -- $20,000 a year more than those who marry before 21. That dovetails nicely with Arnett's observations about couples living together longer before getting married, planning for fewer children and developing full careers before starting families.
Does that make the millennials whom Arnett observed lazy or selfish? He says they just have really high expectations of both life and their jobs and are willing to do what it takes to get to those fulfilling gigs later. If that means working for minimum wage, as 284,000 college grads are doing, or making less money doing time at Starbucks (SBUX) or Wal-Mart (WMT) in exchange for college credits, they're in.
And selfish? This is a generation that's shunning Wall Street and that considers a position at St. Jude's Children's Hospital an ideal gig. Maybe their baby boomer parents instilled an oversize sense of confidence in them, but nine out of 10 of these "emerging adults" told Arnett they agreed with the statement "I am confident that I will eventually get what I want out of life."
If they're willing to ride out their 20s in low-paying jobs to ensure a gig at St. Jude's or Google (GOOG) in the future and somehow haven't had their dreams ground into dust by age 30, maybe Arnett is on to something. Maybe development occasionally needs arresting.
As a married 33 year old who has postponed starting a family until just recently, I don't think older generations realize how difficult it is nowadays for the average young person to do things like buy a home and achieve financial stability in their 20's.
I have a lot of respect for people who recognize they they wouldn't be able to properly care for another human being and wait to do so rather than bringing another mouth to feed into this world before they're ready.
trust me it's not that they are waiting for st. judes or google careers to open up... it's because there is very little in good paying jobs and high competition for them. unless you are a rocket scientist there is 1000 people out there with your same credentials.
Here's an idea, stop putting time stamps on life. Your life has never been lived before, it hasn't been written yet. Let God do his work and let the fates move as they will. Because you may die tomorrow, or you may die in 50 years. Live life fully, (and yes part of living fully involves working hard and commitment) and you will have no regrets.
wow, marrying in your late twenties or early thirties. What's wrong with this kids. They sound just like
George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
Conrad Hilton
Kelly Johnson
Wernher Von Braun
It doesn't matter when you marry, it matters how long it lasts. many of those married at 20... don't make it past 35
In my experience I think you get what you put in. I'm a single 28 year old male. Got out of high school in 2003, went to an automotive trade school finished 2005 at 21. By 23 I had all my student loans paid off and a brand new truck paid for. At 24 I bought 2 rentals homes and home of my own. No debt other than mortgages and this is as an automotive technician...mechanic....grease monkey...whatever you want to call it. Not a glamorous job, not the best paying gig. You just got to prioritize want vs. needs. We get new hires at work that talk about wanting to do the same but then you watch them work and then see how much attention their cell phone needs..smoke breaks...eating out everyday and they claim they're not making enough to get by. I just shrug it off and get back to work because they have had every opportunity that I've had. Just not using it as wisely. I wanted to get all that out of the way before having a family. Its to each their own though. Live your life you way you choose and don't complain if its not going your way because you don't want to put in the effort. Just my experience....

Strengths: Handling handling handling
Ability to spec your own components
Weaknesses: Occasional marital strife due to constant desire to ride
Bottom Line:
Lenz lets you spec your ride, so you're not stuck with a brand-name component selection. They sent a suggested setup in a spreadsheet, and then I did a lot of research and ended up mixing Shimano brakes with SRAM drivetrain and splurged on the wheelset. Couldn't be happier with the result. It took a few months to get it built, but worth the wait. Perfect out of the box. After 3 months, I have yet to change the shock from the trail setting because it's just too much fun like this.
This thing loves to be moved around on…does not handle like a sofa on wheels like I feared. Subtle moves forward and back and side to side allow you to pick and hold really precise lines. And if you get in trouble it just rolls over stuff. But the best thing ever….at speed, lay it over coming into a corner, roll back a bit through the apex, and it just launches out of the corner…the best rush I've had in years. Low speed stability is astounding. I can basically crawl and even stop in the middle of a technical section and start again…it was a stunt before, now just an afterthought. 650b wheel size is no fad…perfect combination of quickness and roll-over capability. I have yet to stick a front wheel and do a slow endo, which was fairly common on my 26er.
The Hanz Dampf tires are the largest-volume tires I've ever ridden. They look like tractor tires from the cockpit, but so far loving them. Good flotation on sand, great grip on technical rocky climbs, but they're getting a bit torn up on the rocks. There's not a lot of clearance between the tires and the frame, so on gravelly trails there is some pinging from pebbles sticking in the knobs and coming round and hitting the frame. Could be a problem with mud but don't get much of that here. And every time I remove the wheels, I just can't help but fondle them because they weigh nothing. So far they've stayed true after some pretty good licks.
The 1x9 X9 drivetrain was a great choice. I like to ride most stuff in one gear like a SS; I usually ride in a middle cog, and maybe shift up or down two gears if the trail has a lot of variation. But it's also nice to have a gear low enough to grind up just about anything, and high enough to bring the adrenaline on flats or downhill. Not missing the other 9 or 18 gears in the least. And love the solid feel of SRAM shifters. Derailleur is the Type II clutch type; absolutely no chain drop issues no matter how rough or fast.
I resisted the move to FS from a hardtail SS for years. But now every trail is like new and twice as fun. And it's pretty cool having a hand-built ride that nobody has heard of. It's no over-priced status symbol. Check it out at http://www.lenzsport.com/detail.php?prodID=14 and don't look back.

Tell your mothers. Everton are going to Wembley.
And the opponents aren't just any old foe either.
A stunning display of composure and craft, a fine finish from Nikica Jelavic and a comedy own goal from David Vaughan saw David Moyes' men swagger to a sensational replay victory at the Stadium of Light and set up a mouthwatering FA Cup semi-final showdown with Liverpool.
Not since 1989 have the two sides of this city met on such a stage. Anticipation in the weeks to follow will be nothing less than fever pitch.
Three years ago a sea of blue rolled down the M6 towards London - twice - as Evertonians relished the chance to sample the country's grand national stadium for the first time in 14 years.
Just three years on, those waves are set to gather pace again.
It has much to do with the FA's decision to make Wembley the host venue for the semi-finals of its principal competition, though that will matter little to the joyous hordes who bound towards the capital next month with Kenny Dalglish's Carling Cup winners in their sights.
Wembley Way will again be awash with Blue, songs advising mothers to abort all dinner plans will be sung and the two sides of a frenzied football city will do battle in the most tantalizing of circumstances.
The last meeting between the two sides in the FA Cup provided the drama of an 118th-minute Dan Gosling winner as Moyes' men despatched of their rivals en route to that ultimately fruitless final against Chelsea.
If they are to play a part in the season's showpiece in 2012 they will need to silence their neighbours and greatest rivals once again.
Having been rested for Saturday's 2-0 win at Swansea, John Heitinga and Marouane Fellaini returned to the starting line-up in place of Phil Jagielka and Tony Hibbert. There was also a role for French youngster Magaye Gueye who was called upon to deputise for the cup-tied Steven Pienaar.
The noise emanating from around the Stadium of Light ahead of kick off was deafening, with 6,200 excitable Evertonians unquestionably playing their part.
A frantic start was therefore perhaps inevitable and it wasn't long before Leon Osman was teasing his way down the left and producing a centre which Jelavic only marginally failed to connect with.
Tim Cahill, scorer of the goal in the first tie at Goodison Park, has found the target more often against the Black Cats than any other club. He was soon trying to add to that tally, though his frustration clearly showed after a tame drilled effort was all too easily gathered by keeper Simon Mignolet.
The Belgian stopper was soon in action again as Jelavic forced a smart reaction save with a solid header from a Darron Gibson corner.
But if that was a warning of the striker's threat, it wasn't heeded; Mignolet's next battle with the Croat would end in defeat.
The move started with Fellaini gaining possession down the Everton left and quickly prodding it in the direction of the more advanced Gueye. The French youngster looked up, drilled in a low cross and there was Jelavic, arriving on cue to expertly side-foot an unstoppable shot low into the bottom corner.
Sebastian Larsson curled a free-kick a yard wide of Tim Howard's post by way of reply, but for the most part it was the visitors dictating the pace.
The second half began much the same as the first with Everton swiping the initiative from the off.
Within seconds of the restart Osman met a high looping ball on the edge of the box with an exquisitely executed volley which soared agonisingly wide of Mignolet's upright with the keeper rooted to the turf.
O'Neill reacted almost immediately in withdrawing former Liverpool defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos and replacing him with midfielder Vaughan.
But the Ulsterman could only look on in horror just four minutes later as the former Blackpool man bundled the ball into his own net in calamitous fashion.
Jelavic looked odds on to net himself when he was played in by Fellaini but the run of the pass took him wide and he could only scuff his shot across the face of goal. Weak as it was, his effort caused Vaughan to get his legs in a tangle, his shin ultimately providing the touch which fired Everton ever closer to the final four.
Dangerman Jelavic then pulled another diving save from Mignolet, before Gueye issued a further demonstration of the victors' domination, neatly selling a dummy to Craig Gardner before rasping one inches over the crossbar.
Sunderland did sample a greater spell of possession as the Blues sat tight on what they had. But who could blame them? Liverpool, at Wembley, await.
