HP iLo command line interface use so called SMASH CLP command language. The latter provides a standardized set of commands for configuration and control of management processors (called Management Access Points) and host systems. On iLO 3 command line interface can be accessed via SSH or serial port.
Up to five network connections can be active simultaneously.
Note: in case of serial port connection CLI is enabled by hitting ESC. The SSH session starts after authentication.
Command line session had a prompt that is displayed after each command (or if you exit VSP):
Each time a CLI command is executed, the returned output follows this general format:
hpiLO-> {CLI command} status=0 status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED ... command output ...There are several keyboard sequences for frequent commands:
|iLO key sequence commands Key sequence
|Exits the iLO command line interface
|Resets the server
|Powers on the server
You can connect to the console from iLO SSH session using the command VSP

To proceed with this we will use HPONCFG utility.
To write the current iLo configuration simply open a cmd prompt and execute the following command:C:\Program Files\HP\hponcfg>hponcfg /w iLoConfig.xml
To change settings you need to create an XML file containing the parameters you want to change, formatted using the RIBCL language.
RIBCL allows you to write XML scripts to configure and manage iLO config settings.
To modify the network settings create a xml file with this information:<RIBCL VERSION="2.0"> <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="user" PASSWORD="password"> <RIB_INFO MODE="WRITE" > <MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS> <IP_ADDRESS VALUE = "x.x.x.x"/> <SUBNET_MASK VALUE = "x.x.x.x"/> <GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS VALUE = "x.x.x.x"/> <PRIM_DNS_SERVER value = "x.x.x.x"/> <DHCP_ENABLE VALUE = "N"/> </MOD_NETWORK_SETTINGS> </RIB_INFO> </LOGIN> </RIBCL>
And then run the script like so:C:\Program Files\HP\hponcfg>hponcfg /f your_script_name.xml
Hope that this information can be useful

If an invalid command is entered, then the status and status_tag values reflects the error as shown:
hpiLO-> boguscommand
status_tag=COMMAND PROCESSING FAILED
error_tag=COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED
If an invalid parameter is given to a valid command, the response is slightly different:
hpiLO-> show /bad
status_tag=COMMAND PROCESSING FAILED
error_tag=COMMAND ERROR-UNSPECIFIED
Invalid property.
The following commands are supported in this release of CLP. The same command set is supported
through the serial port and SSH connections.
The privilege level of the logged in user is verified against the privilege required for the command.
The command is only executed if the privilege levels match. If the serial command line session
status is set to
Enabled-No Authentication
, then all the commands are executed without verifying the privilege level.
The general syntax of CLP command is:
<verb> <target> <option> <property>
• Verbs – The supported verbs are:
◦ cd
◦ create
◦ delete
◦ help
◦ load
◦ reset
◦ set
◦ show
◦ start
◦ stop
◦ exit
◦ version
• Target – The default target is the /. The target can be changed by the cd command or by specifying a target on the command line.
• Options – The valid options are:
◦ -help/-h
◦ -all/-a
• Properties — Are the attributes of the target that can be modified.
• Output — The output syntax is:
◦ status
◦ status_tag
◦ status_msg
The valid Boolean values for any command are yes, no, true, false, and y, n, t, f.
General notes:
If the commands on the CLP command span more than one line, you cannot navigate between
different lines.
Operating system-specific notes:
• The Backspace key in iLO 3 CLP implementation is mapped to the value 0x8. Some client
operating systems such as Novell Linux Desktop, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Desktop map
the Backspace key to the value 0x7f. The Backspace key does not work from a client where
it has value of 0x7f. For the Linux clients, using the Home or the End key enables the iLO 3
CLP service to remap the Backspace key to use the value 0x7f, making the key functional.
In the Windows PuTTy client, the Backspace key can be mapped to a value of 0x8 by changing
the setting for Terminal Keyboard to Control-H.
Using the command line 29
Escape commands
The escape key commands are short-cuts to popular tasks.
• ESC ( invokes the serial CLI connection. This is not necessary for SSH sessions because they
automatically start a CLI session after a successful login.
• ESC Q – Stops the CLI session and terminates the SSH connection.
• ESC R ESC r ESC R– Resets the system.
• ESC ^– Powers on the system.
• ESC ESC– Erases the current line.
There is a one second timeout for entering any of the escape sequence characters.
Base commands
• The help command displays context-sensitive help.
Entering help displays all supported commands.
Entering <command help/?> displays the help message specific to that command.
• The exit command terminates the CLP session.
• The cd command sets the current default target. The context works like a directory path. The
root context for the server is "/" and is the starting point for a CLP system. By changing the
context, you can shorten commands.
For example, to find the current iLO 3 firmware version, enter the show /map1/firmware1
version command.
However, if you enter the cd /map1/firmware1 command, then enter show version,
this displays the information as well.
• The show command displays values of a property or contents of a collection target. For
hpiLO-> show
status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED
cd version exit show
The first line of information returned by the show command is the current context. In the
example, / is the current context. Following the context is a list of subtargets (Targets) and
properties (Properties) applicable to the current context. The verbs (Verbs) section shows which
commands are applicable to this context.
You can also specify the show command with an explicit or implicit context as well as a
specific property. For example, an explicit context is /map1/firmware1 and is not dependent
on the current context, while an implicit context assumes that the context specified is a child
of the current context. If the current context is /map1 then a show firmware command
displays the /map1/firmware1 data.
If you do not specify a property, then all properties are shown. In the case of the /map1/
firmware1 context, two properties are available: version, and date. If you execute show
/map1/firmware1 date, only the date is shown.
• The create command creates a new instance of the MAP in the name space.
30 SMASH CLP Scripting Language
• The delete command removes instances of the MAP in the name space.
• The load command moves a binary image from a URL to the MAP.
• The reset command causes a target to cycle from enabled to disabled, and back to enabled.
• The set command sets a property or set of properties to a specific value, and resets iLO 3
to implement the changes.
• The start command causes a target to change the state to a higher run level.
• The stop command causes a target to change the state to a lower run level.
• The version command queries the version of the CLP implementation or other CLP elements.
For example:
hpiLO-> version
status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED
SM-CLP Version 1.0
• The oemhp_ping command determines if an IP address is reachable from the current iLO 3.
For example:
oemhp_ping 192.168.1.1
Where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address you are testing.

Declining graduation rates and increasing student loan debts are topics of concern in Washington.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - If Michigan voters were asked to raise more revenue for the roads, polls show they would probably say no, which is why there is talk of linking transportation funding to efforts to raise more money for the schools.
The governor and legislative leaders from both parties are expected to meet again this week on the road funding-education funding linkage.
One item that lawmakers are considering is taking all of the money now collected at the pump and earmarking it for the roads. Under the current system, $1.2 billion collected at the pump also goes to schools and cities. The schools would lose $700 million and and city halls around the state would lose $500 million.
"When I look at that kind of number it's a little bit disconcerting so how will we replace either part or all of that kind of funding," said Rep. Bill Rogers, the K-12 budget chair.
To replace that money, lawmakers may be asked to put a sales tax increase on the November ballot, which some think voters would support if it were for the schools.
"The voters are more likely to support funding for education and that's the way of doing it and again we need to be honest with the voters," said Rep. Adam Zemke with the school budget committee.
The polls suggest voters would not vote to raise more for roads, which is why others believe linking the two is the way to go.
"Well, certainly it would make sense from a public opinion standpoint if you are going to raise more money for transportation, there's a strong case to be made that we should raise more money for education as well," said Matt Gillard, a school lobbyist.
The next move is up to the governor and legislative leaders.

Elton John
Elton JohnElton John continued to rise in notoriety by performing in front of crowds as large as 100,000 in Los Angeles and he continued to sell a large amount of Elton tickets. He even appeared in the movie Tommy and even ended up on the cover of Time Magazine (Time.com). Elton John continued to do what no other had done before; he had the first album ever to debut at number 1, Captain Fantastic, in 1975. Elton did not stop there; he also was the first western artist to ever tour the U.S.S.R. in its peak of Communism. Elton John tickets were selling as fast as his albums were leaving the store shelves. Elton John had a minor tumble in the early 80s after he discontinued working with Bernie Taupin. However, they eventually reunited and by 1988 Elton John performed a record 5 straight concert dates at the world renowned Madison Square Garden in New York City. In the 1990s, Elton continued to perform and record and his fans continued to support him. He collaborated with Tim Rice for the popular Disney film, The Lion King. The Lion King soundtrack was hailed by critics because of tracks specifically from Elton John.

Artist Biography - Elton JohnElton John was born in Pinner England on March 25, 1947 under the birth name Reginald Dwight. He is considered by many as one of the most flamboyant and commercially successful recording artists of the last 30 years. Elton achieved his peak in the 70s with his sidekick with whom he collaborated on several occasions, Bernie Taupin. However, Elton has been able to do what many artists have never done, achieve a Top 40 single in each year from 1970-1996. Some of his most well known hit songs are 'Your Song,' 'Rocket Man,' 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,' and 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me.
At the mere age of 11, Elton John won a scholarship to study music at the Royal Academy of Music. After only six years of school, Elton John decided it was time to hit it big. He spent most of the 60s going from band to band before ending up at Liberty Records and meeting his eventual tag team partner Bernie Taupin. Shortly thereafter, Reginald Dwight officially became Elton John and as of today Sir Elton John.

Mauldin -
Mauldin Senior Pitcher/Shortstop, Cory Thompson's fastball has been clocked as fast as 94 miles per hour. Opponents are hitting just .152 against him so far this season and he sports an ERA of 1.20. Needless to say, scouts are taking note of his South Carolina baseball signee.
However, Thompson is equally as talented at the plate with a .424 batting average with a couple of home runs.
At the end of the season, Thompson could have a big decision to make between going pro or honoring his commitment to South Carolina.

Singba Rhodendron Sanctury (Area - 43 sq. km and Alt 3048 - 4575 mts.) is located in North Sikkim in the famous Lachung Valley at a distance of 137 km. from Gangtok. The sanctuary is bounded on its southern periphery by the Yumthang Valley known for its alpine meadow and hot springs. It is hemmed in on the east by high rugged Chuba - Sagochen mountain ranges and on the west by part of Chomzomei Tso extending up to Lava pass. The picturesque Yumthang River flows through the sanctuary, which is known for its unique abundance of Rhododendron trees and shrubs, 40 species of which are recorded from Sikkim alone, that ablaze in color during March - May.
Rhododendron nevium-the state tree occurs through the sanctuary, which is also rich in ground flora such as primulas, potentillas, gentians, larch, juniper, maple with trailing lichens. They also abounds in silver fir, spruce, dense carpet of moss protecting the soil and its inhabitants from the chhu at Phunyi in 1978 and have been flourishing since. Lachung is the last frontier village before reaching the sanctuary. Facilities include Angling in Phuniya Chhu and Yumthang Chhu from April to Spetember.

Olen Steinhauer
Minotaur Books
The revolutionary politics and chaotic history at the heart of Olen Steinhauer's literary crime series set in Eastern Europe have made it one of today's most acclaimed, garnering two Edgar Award nominations, among numerous other awards. Upon reaching the tumultuous 1980s, the series comes full circle as one of the People's Militia's earliest cases reemerges to torment its inspectors, including militia chief Emil Brod, the original detective on the case. His arrest of a revolutionary leader in the late 1940s resulted in the politician's imprisonment, but at the time Emil was too young to understand how great the cost would be. Only now, in 1989, when he is days from retirement and spends more and more time looking over his shoulder, does he realize that what he did in the line of duty may get him—and others—killed.
By fusing a story of revenge at any cost with a portrait of a country on the brink of collapse, Steinhauer masterfully brings the personal and political together with devastating results and once again raises crime fiction to a stunning new level.
Praise for Victory Square
"This story catches all the danger and excitement of the historic moment."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Clipped, economical prose . . . Steinhauer offers a concrete end to the sins of the past."
--Los Angeles Times
"If previous books upped the narrative ante . . . this one goes all in."
"Brilliant conclusion of his ambitious Eastern European series . . . Masterful."
--Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Liberation Movements
"An inspired choice—giving history and politics a chance to simmer over the flame of murder."
--Chicago Tribune
"Liberation Movements is an entertaining . . . read that should put Steinhauer squarely in the front of the pack of today's espionage writers."
--Los Angeles Times

Origins News Round-up for September 30, 2014

Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
"The lack of a nuanced and public dialogue about how science can inform and deepen faith…is problematic for those who, like me, hold to the conviction that science and religion are not just compatible — they're soul mates," says outgoing BioLogos Web Editor Emily Ruppel.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
All of science's discoveries are undergirded by beliefs about the true, good, and beautiful, which makes it all the more tragic when scientists claim to have risen above the search for these things.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
God could have created a fertile planet miraculously in an instant, but when we look carefully at the physical evidence, it appears that the earth has a longer history as part of the universe.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
The problem comes when materialism, claiming the authority of science, denies the possibility of all other types of knowledge — reducing human beings to a bag of chemicals and all their hopes and loves to the firing of neurons. Or when religion exceeds its bounds and declares the Earth to be 6,000 years old. In both cases, the besetting sin is the same: the arrogant exclusive claim to know reality.

There are those who simply talk about changing their world, and there are others who are willing to try it. A.J. Swoboda, an alumnus of GFES, is one of those people who have the calling and courage to live out the gospel in ways that allow others to fully know the person of Jesus Christ. Here is a snapshot:
Dr. A. J. Swoboda started and serves the Theophilus church community in the Hawthorne District of Portland, Ore. (theophiluschurch.com). Theophilus is a unique church community nestled in the heart of the hustle and bustle of southeast Portland. Before this, A.J. served as a college pastor on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene, where he led an off-campus co-op called the Onyx House that served Christian college-age students throughout the region.
As well as pastoring a church in Portland, A.J. is a professor of biblical studies, theology, and Christian history at George Fox Evangelical Seminary. His courses include Christian history, pneumatology, theology and Christology. Beginning this year, he will be teaching alongside Dr. Dan Brunner in the newly established creation care program in the seminary. In addition to teaching at Fox, A.J. is an adjunct professor at LIFE Pacific College, Canby Bible College, the Episcopal Academy of Spiritual Formation and Concordia University.
A.J.'s creative doctoral research explored the neverending relationship between the Holy Spirit and ecology. Finishing his PhD at the University of Birmingham (U.K.), he continues doing research in Christian theology, history and practice. In fall 2011, His popular book Messy: God Likes It That Way (Kregel) is due out. Messy is a simple attempt at re-embracing the messy nature of faith in a world that so often worships order. Similarly, later in 2012, his dissertation, Tongues and Trees: Towards a Green Pentecostal Pneumatology, will be released in book form.
A.J. and his wife Quinn just had their first child, Elliot James. They love to walk together, eat out, laugh, and sing off key. In his free time, A.J. writes, wails on guitars, runs (mostly treadmills), plays Settlers, reads, and has a predisposition toward movies with Kevin Spacey in them.
Feel free to check out his website at theophiluschurch.com.

How about Evian or Aquafina water mist in a can? I've seen the Evian at Longs and Aquafina at WalMart, it's a "hydrating" face spray, basically water in a fine mist on the skin. Also I would try YouTube and type in what you are looking for, there are several makeup people out there EnKoreMakeup, Meepocow (she just did a video on the waters). I used to use the Evian for when I did mineral makeup, worked good.

I light misting of flitered or spring water serves to "set" your makeup. I wouldn't put any of the artificial stuff on your face. Just hold a spray bottle (set on fine mist) arms length away and lightly sprtiz your face.

Yikes! The only two "natural" things I know in that list are the water and aloe vera! Hmm.... Maybe I won't' be able to come up with something after all.

I had some Parmesan on hand and used that as well as adding chopped green onions. Delicious! So easy to prepare! Also subbed using Splenda for the small amount of sugar and was easy to use egg whites in carton. Made for breakfast one day and reheated remaining scones on low in microwave next day for dinner bread.

By Gwendolyn Haley, Youth Services Manager, Spokane County Library District,
Success By 6 Board Member
We are dreaming BIG this summer at Spokane County Library District with engaging free programs for school aged kids at all 10 of our libraries.
We'll kick off the fun the week of June 18 with kids' music star Eric Herman (Check him out on YouTube!), live in concert. Bubbillusionist Jarom Watts (holder of multiple Guinness World Records for bubbles) will wow you with his amazing bubble creations.
West Valley Outdoor Learning Center fills the library with some nighttime creatures. The Knights of Veritas—a favorite from last summer—will be back this year to introduce the Code of Chivalry and demonstrate historical combat techniques with the weapons and armor of the knights.
Penny's Puppets brings a musical tour of creatures that come alive under the night sky with "Batunia's Nocturnal Wonderland".
And finally,—for the first time ever—we are pleased to present the Mobius Science Center live in our libraries. Get a sneak preview of the Science Center (opening this fall) when Mobius throws down the science!
If you've ever wondered what happens after the library closes, kids in grades 3-5 can find out at one of our Late Night at the Library programs. All details and a reading log to track everything you read this summer are available at www.scld.org.
Check out the programs, check out books and keep your imagination fired up and fuel your big dreams this summer!

Coutinho will be expected to be a big player for Liverpool this year. (Image from Goal.com)
Note: This article is focusing on defining statistical targets, based on past data, for Liverpool to achieve 4th this season. It is NOT an article explaining who we should sign to get 4th or if Rodgers is the right person to lead us to 4th, both are highly subjective topics.
December 9th 2009, the last time Liverpool played a game in the Champions League. A 2-1 loss to Fiorentina saw the Reds drop out of the competition at the group stage after amassing only 7 points. Now nearly four years since that match, the club are still pushing to get back into a competition we were regular challengers in. Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish have all tried and failed to qualify in that time and have all since left the club. What do Liverpool need to do to get back to where they belong and how far away are they?
The Past and Present
The 2012/13 season saw FSG appoint Brendan Rodgers as the man to take Liverpool back to the Champions League. Whether this was the right decision or he is the man for the job is an argument for another article, but those that follow me on Twitter (@scottifyfc) will know I am a big fan of Rodgers and the work he's doing. Rodgers was brought in to improve Liverpool after a disappointing season in the league, in 2011/12 under Dalglish. Looking at the stats below comparing the league finishers from Dalglish's last season and Rodgers first undeniably shows there was improvement made.
The difference between Liverpool's last two Premier League campaigns.
Under Rodgers Liverpool saw the points total increase from 52 to 61, a 17.3% improvement. The club clocked up 2 more wins going from 14 to 16 with an improvement of 14.2%. Our defeats decreased by 35.7% from 14 to 9 while the number of draws increased from 10 to 13, an increase of 30% (whether that is in a improvement is open to debate but coupled with the decrease in defeats it is 3 points gained).
Much has been made of our increase in goals under Rodgers with his side scoring 71 compared to the 47 under Dalglish (1 less than relegated Blackburn), an impressive increase of 51%. Liverpool did concede more under Rodgers though with a 7.5% increase of goals against, but coupled with the goals scored, the goal difference itself makes for much better reading, going from 7 to 28 with a staggering increase of 300%.
The Standard
To obtain 4th place, we must look at the competition and the teams we are looking to replace in the Champions League. Over the past five years the top of the league has been broken up into two mini leagues of three teams each. The first is those going for the title, United, City and Chelsea. The second is those going for the Champions League, Arsenal and Spurs are mainstays in that with Newcastle, Everton and Liverpool all taking their place as the third team at different times.
In the past five years only Arsenal or Spurs have finished in 4th place and are likely going to be the two main contenders again this season. By looking at their end of season totals over the past five years we can generate a target for what the club needs to achieve this season to challenge for 4th and a place in the Champions League.
The past five 4th place finishes in the Premier League.
The Target
First of all there is the points total. In the past five seasons the average points total for finishing 4th is 70 (rounded from 70.4). 70 points in three out of those five season would have seen the club finish 4th. Last season the club obtained 61 points meaning there will need to be an increase of 14.75% to hit the 70 mark. While more points will undoubtedly secure 4th or even higher, gaining 70 points for the 2013/14 season would see Liverpool, at the very least, competing for 4th place going into the last games of the season.
From the points total highlighted we now need to focus on where those points will come from. Last season the club obtained 16 wins and as seen from the table above we will need to improve on that to have a shot at 4th. The average win count over the past five seasons was 20 (rounded from 20.2). Winning that amount of games over the course of a season would see 60 points gained, 85.7% of the total points needed to challenge for 4th place.
Last season we lost 9 games and the average defeat count over the past five seasons was 8. So from that we can see that it was not really loses that cost us points it was draws, something that was an issue under Rafa's tenure as well. The average draw count from the table above was 10 (rounded from 9.8). Last season we drew 14 games under Rodgers. By increasing the amount of wins over the course of the season by 25% and reducing the amount of draws by 28.5% and defeats by 11%, we would see a side that is challenging for 4th place.
The goal difference is also a key area to look at. Last season we scored 71 goals which was 2.8% above the five season average of 69, one of the few aspects of last season that was equal or greater than Champions League place form. Liverpool conceded 43 goals last year, 6.9% less than the average of 40 (rounded from 39.8). This gave the Reds a goal difference of +28 in Rodgers first season, the average being +29 (rounded from +29.2), meaning that Liverpool would need their goal difference to increase by 3.6% to match top 4 form.
Last season Liverpool kept 16 clean sheets (42% of the 38 games played) 12.5% more than the five season average of 14. While this is no doubt an impressive stat it is an example of a statistic not painting the whole picture. Clean sheets are vital to a successful season but it is more important how many goals we concede when we do concede.
The five season average for goals conceded was 1.046 goals per game, Liverpool's total was 1.13 goals per game a difference of 8%. Conceding 1 goal less in a game like the 2-2 draw with Manchester City last year is more important than keeping a clean sheet in a 5-0 win against Swansea. A 2-1 win against City and a 5-1 win against Swansea would have seen Liverpool's final points total increase by 2 (3.2%). That difference, repeated over the course of a season, is the kind of improvement needed to push for 4th place.
Taking the data highlighted in the paragraphs above I have created a projected table of what Liverpool need to finish the season with to challenge for 4th.
Liverpool's targeted finish for next season to compete for with the likes of Arsenal and Spurs for 4th.
John W Henry has said he has 'very high expectations' for the club this season 'higher than they were last year'. Looking at the improvements made in the past 12 months and the measurable targets highlighted in this article, he has every reason to be optimistic. If they do reach this target and even exceed it, then it will be the most successful season since 2008/09 for different reasons and shows signs of major long term improvements from Rodgers and FSG. The club can only control their own future and while the target may not guarantee Champions League football it will show that Liverpool are ready to compete and been seen as genuine rivals to Arsenal and Spurs.

Not sure I buy the whole we stood by Suarez so he should show us more respect argument. While we did stand him during the racisim, handshakes, t-shirts, diving and biting incidents. It's not like we did it solely for the player, we obviously had our own motives.
Liverpool are not the club they once were in terms of challenging at the top and the people in charge will know that. Liverpool needed Suarez more than Suarez needed Liverpool (until recently) and as a result we had no choice but to stand by him. If we hadn't he could have left in January 2012 or the summer last year at a time that would have been devastating to the first team.
When you are a club at the top you can deal with players differently but even the likes of United have had these issues. Look at Rooney, wanted to leave a couple of years ago but United gave him everything he wanted to keep him as they had no one at the club in that position like him. Fast forward to this summer and United are not playing the game the same way. Why? Because now they have Van Persie, Rooney is not as integral as he was before.
The same applies for Liverpool, pushing Suarez out the club last year would have been disastrous as we had no one else. Now we have Sturridge and Coutinho (two players that combined make up for any loss of Suarez) we can afford to let him go, for the right price and to the the right club (Sorry Arsenal not you).
Luis Suarez has let down the club with his recent comments but they are nothing new. It is short sighted to say he should be showing more respect to the club BECAUSE they stood by him. We stood by him because we rightly or wrongly we felt we had to, now that has changed Suarez because nothing more than an asset that can be sold.
Rafa Benitez 'Champions League Dreams'
Last night I had the honour and privilege of meeting Rafa Benitez. Not only one of the best mangers to take charge of Liverpool but one of the best modern managers around and also a personal hero of mine. The man is an absolute legend.
Last night he talked about his new book 'Champions League Dreams' showing his passion, intelligence, knowledge, conviction and even humour for his career in football. The event was hosted by The Times in a Q&A format with the questions coming from fellow red and football Editor at The Times, Tony Evans. Both Evans and Rafa were great with the latter garnishing chants, cheers and songs from a smartly dressed crowd in London.
After the Q&A Session, I (along with the Blackpool supporting Adam Kinder) queued up to get my book signed (see above) and meet Rafa. There was not much time as there were a lot of people to get through and at one point it looked like we may miss out, but finally I got to the front to meet the big man.
I walked up to him said 'Hi Rafa' as he extended his hand to me, which I shook instantly. As he was signing my copy of his book I simply said ' It is an absolute pleasure to meet you Rafa' and replied ' You too Scott'. We both smiled, shook hands again, this time me instigating and I said 'Thanks Rafa' and left, with my signed copy of the book in hand.
I realise I sound like a bit of a fangirl in that interaction but Rafa is one of my heros and to meet the man was something I will take with me to the day I die, no matter how brief the meeting was.
Thank you Rafa for everything you did at Liverpool, giving me some of the happiest days of my life as a football fan. Thank you for writing the book with the wonderful Rory Smith. Thank you for being so warm and engaging during the Q&A session and staying around to sign copies for everyone that queued up. Overall thank you for being you Rafa, for standing up for what was right, defending the clubs honour and standing up to those that tried to bully you be it fans, press, managers or owners. You will always be a father of Liverpool and I hope one day in the future you and our great club cross paths again.
Thank You Rafa

Thank you very much for filming the whole day I am so pleased with the DVD as I can watch back on bits of the day we missed when having pictures taken. When I have spoken to guests they said they didn't notice you there everyone felt so at ease.
There is not one part of the DVD that I can pick out & say it is out favourite as we love the whole two hours of it.
We will definatly recommend you to friends & family looking for videographer for their big day as you have been so helpful & professional throughout the booking to the perfect end result.

I am so glad we choose to use Tait2. You managed to capture many special moments on the day and I can't thank you enough. For me the 3 seconds where you captured Gary saying 'wow' when he first see's me walking down the stairs makes the whole DVD for me! It brought tears to my eyes.
All the guests have commented on how well and hard both you and Cora worked on the day. Your prescence on the day only help to make it a great day. You helped make it the intimate family gathering we wanted and we can't thank you enough. We would definitely recommend you to anyone in the North-east looking for a wedding videographer.
Tony & Cora were both professional yet personal and managed to put us both at ease on our Wedding day. We hardly noticed the cameras! The film gave us both the chance to see what the other got up to before the Wedding. The DVD is worth it for the moment it caught Gary's reaction when he first saw me one word wow!
They have captured all the small moments that otherwise we might have missed.
Cora and Tony went beyond their role by entertaining the kids and even let our son do some of the filming!
The DVD lets us relive our Wedding day every time we watch it and the heartfelt video messages from our guests were a great alternative to a Guest book.
Many Thanks!

Two-Way Toothpaste
July 29, 2010
The inability to squeeze every last bit of toothpaste out of a tube is the subject of frequent consumer complaints, yet the format endures. Enter a simple concept: two-way toothpaste. The double-sided tube makes it easier to fully dispense the paste. It also solves a problem for fastidious types who get angry with their bathroom buddies for squeezing toothpaste from the front of the tube. (Concept: Dominic Wilcox, www.variationsonnormal.com)
