There's been a number of Holmes/Dracula books, including Sherlock Holmes versus Dracula by Loren Estleman and The Holmes-Dracula File by Fred Saberhagen, as well as a graphic novel whose name I can't immediately recall.
reread Blood and Gold a few days ago... still my all time favourite 'Vampire' book... Marius just kicks ass... 2000+ years old and still bitchslapping the little 'demonic vampires' around... still makes me laugh when the new vampires come up to him... 'we are the children of satan, cursed by christ to...' thats generally as far as they get before Marius immolates them with a dismissive laugh, reminding them that he was around long before Christ or Satan were even ideas in peoples minds lol M
Have any of you guys read the Anno Dracula or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series? I really enjoy these kinds of mashups, and both sound pretty cool and seem to have gotten pretty good reviews on places like Amazon.
i know the LXG comics series if thats what you're asking about... some of Alan Moore's best work if i'm honest... M
Cool. I'm trying to decide if I want to wait and read some of the books it ties into first though. I already have 20KLUTS, Dracula, IM and J&H on my Nook.
never actually gone into the books of the LXG series, though i did really enjoy the comics... not sure if i'd enjoy the books as much if they weren't written by Alan Moore M
No, I meant the books the characters came from, 20,00 Leagues Under the Sea, Dracula, The Invisible Man, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.
ahh the originals... gotcha Though actually, i will say that if you enjoy the original characters like Doctor Jeckyll and Mr Hyde, and other 'classics', then i highly recommend looking up the Tv series Sanctuary... you'll love it M
The Anno Dracula books by Kim Newman are definitely worth reading . . . and the more you know about the history of vampire literature, the more you'll enjoy them.
Oh, I love Sanctuary and that's one of my favorite things about it. I'm still mad they killed Watson and Griffin's grand daughter though.
I have Anno Dracula sitting on the shelf. I will give it a go once I finish my re-read of A Song of Ice and Fire.
I really liked Anno Dracula. There are also two sequels, The Bloody Red Baron and Judgment of Tears. I keep waiting for Newman to get around to writing a fourth novel.
I have those in my to read pile right now also want read chelsea quinn yarbo hotel transilvania seriies as well
Sequel to Justin Cronin's book, The Passage, should be out any day now. called The Twelve. Nice take on the Vampire genre, no sparkles or emo behavior. Little darker than that
To be honest, it's only ever been Buffy and Twilight that had the emo crap, and even then Buffy's had demons just begging to rip free again. Just waiting to read "Cold Days" from the Dresden Files in a couple of months, major spoilers as to why but a lot of it is the Vampires, and lack thereof in some cases.

The wave of seniors is coming.
The nation's 65-years-old and older population will more than double by 2050 to about 88 million, an increase of 120 percent that far outpaces other age groups. That means one in every five Americans will be older than 65, and the number of Americans who are 85 and older will soon more than triple to 19 million.
As a result, the demand for affordable housing and services for seniors will increase dramatically, according to a new report from the Center for Housing Policy.
Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Texas, and Utah have the highest projected percentage growth of 65 and older residents between 2000 and 2030.
"Housing An Aging Population – Are We Prepared?" explores the challenges of providing housing for the growing number of older Americans.
The report points out that older adults are more likely than younger households to spend more than half of their income on housing. One in four households with a member 85 years or older pay at least half of their incomes for housing.
An aging population also means that more seniors will be living with disabilities. As a result, demand for renovations and retrofits to accommodate people with disabilities will likely rise. Demand is also expected to increase for housing with supportive services. However, the supply of community housing and long-term care facilities is unlikely to keep pace with the need.
Another finding shows that renters 85 years and older are more likely than younger renters to live in larger buildings with 21 or more units. These buildings are more likely to have elevators, making them attractive to seniors with mobility impairments.
Multi-unit buildings are also a more cost-effective setting for delivering supportive services.
The report raises concerns that many suburban communities, home to half of all older adults, continue to limit multifamily or group housing. Considering the population trends, "local officials may find growing interest in allowing larger multifamily developments in communities where currently they are not permitted," says the report.
The report also notes that available federal funding for housing subsidies is failing to keep pace with demand. Currently, only about 24 percent of renters of all ages with housing needs are being reached by federal rental assistance.
"Subsidies will be needed to help ensure that older adults with low and moderate incomes have access to affordable choices, and at present there are far too few of these to go around," say researchers.
The Center for Housing Policy, the research affiliate of the National Housing Conference, offers several policies changes that would help support seniors to age in place or expand their housing options. By adopting more flexible zoning policies, communities can help foster a range of different housing types, according to the report. Preserving existing affordable rental housing that needs rehabilitation or is at risk of losing its affordability is another key to meeting the seniors housing crunch. And, equally important is to expand funding for the development of new properties.
The study also suggests encouraging universal design in new homes and says it is time to experiment with more "co-housing" efforts.
"For the most part, the strategies are familiar," says the report. "What is needed is greater urgency in the face of demographic certainty."

The Ear has received the following information to post about a local opera production that is both exciting and an inspired choice to mark February as Black History Month:
Madison Opera will present the Midwest premiere of "Charlie Parker's Yardbird" on 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10, and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12, in the Capitol Theater at Overture Center for the Arts.
For more information about the cast and the production as well as about purchasing tickets ($25-$114), go to:
With music by Swiss composer Daniel Schnyder (below top) and a libretto by writer and poet Bridgette A. Wimberly (below bottom), the acclaimed opera "Charlie Parker's Yardbird" tells of the legendary jazz musician and the people closest to him.
The opera, which melds jazz and opera, is set on the day that saxophone great Charlie Parker died in 1955. As his body lies unclaimed in a New York City morgue, Parker returns in spirit to the jazz club Birdland, determined to compose a final masterpiece. Family and friends blend in and out of his memories, including his three wives, his mother, his friend Dizzy Gillespie and even his drug dealer.
Charlie Parker's Yardbird premiered in June 2015 at Opera Philadelphia (below is tenor Lawrence Brownlee, in a photo by Dominic Mercier, in the title role of Charlie Parker in the Philadelphia production) and was subsequently presented by the company at the Apollo Theater in New York City in April 2016. (You can hear an excerpt in the YouTube video at the bottom.)
The New York Times praised it for its "pulsing, jazz-infused score," while the Wall Street Journal said, "its rhythms snap and swing, its melodies – including real arias – seize the ear, its ensembles crackle with energy."
Madison Opera will be only the second company to present this work, which is sung in English with projected text and runs 90 minutes without an intermission.
"I saw Charlie Parker's Yardbird when it premiered in Philadelphia and instantly knew it would be a perfect opera for Madison," says Kathryn Smith (below, in a photo by James Gill), Madison Opera's general director. "The very American story and the exciting jazz-inflected music fit perfectly into our ever-expanding range of repertoire."
She adds, "It's not a straightforward narrative of Parker's life, but rather elements of his life as refracted through his memories and imagination, and particularly his relationships with the women in his life."
Madison Opera's cast includes both debuts and returning favorites, as well as a number of singers who created their roles in the world premiere.
Joshua Stewart (below), a young American tenor who has sung at La Scala, Bayerische Staatsoper, and Opera de Lausanne, debuts in the tour de force role of Charlie Parker.
Angela Brown (below) returns following her performance at Opera in the Park 2016 as Addie Parker, Charlie's mother, a role she created in Philadelphia.
Will Liverman, who sang Figaro in Rossini's The Barber of Seville here in 2015, sings jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie, a role he created in Philadelphia.
Krysty Swann debuts as Rebecca Parker, Charlie's first wife. Angela Mortellaro, who sang Galatea in Handel's Acis and Galatea in 2013, returns as Doris Parker, Charlie's third wife, a role she created in Philadelphia.
Rachel Sterrenberg debuts as Chan Parker, his final wife, a role she created in Philadelphia. Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter, in whose hotel suite Parker died, is sung by Julie Miller in her Madison Opera debut.
Directing this production is Ron Daniels (below), who staged the world premiere and was the opera's dramaturge, involved in the creation and workshop process.
John DeMain (below, in a photo by Prasad) conducts, with members of the Madison Symphony Orchestra in the pit.
DeMain says: "I am so happy to be a part of Madison Opera's Midwest premiere of Charlie Parker's Yardbird. Parker was consumed with music, breathing it day and night. All of us who are passionate about performing and listening to music can identify with this phenomenal musician and will not want to miss this jazz-infused opera, the perfect expression of Parker's range and depth as a musician."
Composer Daniel Schnyder will attend the opening night performance and join Smith for the Pre-Opera Talk that evening at 7 p.m. in the Wisconsin Studio.
In addition to the performances, Madison Opera and its community partners are hosting a series of related events, collectively known as "Extending the Stage," which culminate in a concert of Charlie Parker's music with composer Daniel Schnyder and the UW-Madison's Blue Note Ensemble.

Vienna has been called "The Paris of the Reich."
Perhaps that is why the Viennese took such a liking to the suave and debonair French conductor Georges Prêtre (below, in a photo by Dieter Nagli for Getty Images), who died last Wednesday at 92.
The urbane Prêtre – who specialized in French music but also was much in demand for a lot of German and Italian repertoire — studied karate and judo. But he also enjoyed the good life and by all accounts had a terrific sense of humor coupled to a "joie de vivre."
He often said he preferred being a guest conductor to being a music director because the former was like a love affair and the latter was like a commitment. Yet Prêtre was committed: He is survived by his wife of more than 50 years.
His conducting career spanned 70 years. He was known for his association with the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony. But he also conducted 101 performances of seven operas at the famed Metropolitan Opera in New York City. He also frequently conducted in Milan, Philadelphia and Chicago.
Here is a good summary obituary, with sound clips of orchestral and operatic music, from National Public Radio (NPR):
And here is a longer obituary, which gives you the French flavor of the man and the musician, from The New York Times:
And here is George Prêtre's most popular video on YouTube, which also serves as a fine memorial in sound:

Last year, classical music lost of a lot of important people -– performers and composers.
For The Ear, three of the most important people were the Italian conductor Claudio Abbado (below top), who was a master of the mainstream operatic and orchestral repertoire; the English conductor Christopher Hogwood (below middle), who also pioneered the performance and recording of early music, Baroque music, Classical era composers and even early Romantic composers — including Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Frideric Handel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert — on period instruments and with historically informed performance practices; and the Dutch flutist and conductor Frans Bruggen (below bottom), whose career followed a similar trajectory as Hogwood's.
Those men made us hear music in new, unexpected and exciting ways — the highest achievement that any performer or interpreter can aspire to.
But we also lost highly accomplished and important singers and instrumentalists, including pianists and violinists.
The always outstanding Deceptive Cadence blog on NPR (National Public Radio) recently ran a list of 20 figures who died in 2014, though I am sure there are more.
Below is a link to the NPR story.
When you click on each entry you will get photo and full obituaries, readers' comments and fine sound samples. So don't be afraid to leave the NPR page and follow the various links.
And here is a fitting tribute, the final movement of the German Requiem by Johannes Brahms in which the chorus sings "Blessed are the dead for their works shall live on after them."
And be sure to use the Comments section of this blog for any additions and tributes you wish to add, perhaps by naming your favorite composer or work they performed or recorded.
NEWS: As you have probably heard by now, the acclaimed Italian conductor Claudio Abbado (below) has died at 80. Here are links to some stories about this maestro who had such a varied and prolific career:

Here is a special posting, a review written by frequent guest critic and writer for this blog, John W. Barker. Barker (below) is an emeritus professor of Medieval history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also is a well-known classical music critic who writes for Isthmus and the American Record Guide, and who hosts an early music show every other Sunday morning on WORT FM 89.9 FM. He serves on the Board of Advisors for the Madison Early Music Festival and frequently gives pre-concert lectures in Madison.

It was a great pity that no more than 25 people turned out at the Gates of Heaven on Sunday afternoon for the latest program offered by Jerry Hui's early-music group, Eliza's Toyes (below, inside Gates of Heaven).
His program this time was a post-Christmas survey of English sacred music. The range of material ran from late-Medieval three-voice pieces through composers of the early 17th century, adding up to 13 selections in all.
This is the kind of music most regularly performed by a choir of some or another size, sometimes of mixed voices, sometimes in the British-cathedral style of all-male voices, with boys on the upper parts.
Hui (below) fielded a consort of six singers (three female, three male), so that each item was sung one singer per part — with a couple cases of a little doubling, I believe. While the result favored clarity against sonority, it must be said that, in certain full-textured items, some very lovely sonority was achieved.
My principal reservation was that the ordering of the program seemed aimed at a smooth variety of sounds, rather than at a demonstration of the momentous changes in English sacred composition. The key to those changes was the liturgical shift in the Anglican Reformation from motets setting traditional Latin texts to the new anthems with English texts.
The shift could be noted in the dominant composer of the program, the great William Byrd (1540-1623, below), represented by two Latin motets, and then an English anthem. "Sing joyfully", which served as the dazzling finale (see the YouTube video at the bottom).
Byrd's teacher, and then partner, Thomas Tallis (below), likewise spanned the reforming shifts, but was heard in one Latin motet, "O scrum convivium", and a gorgeously harmonized Latin hymn, "O nata lux de lumina". Earliest in the pre-Reformation lineup was Robert Fayrfax (1464-1521), whose five-voice setting of the Magnificat was in the traditional alternatim setting (odd-numbered verses of the canticle sung in chant, the even-numbered ones set polyphonically).
On the other hand, a poignant victim of the Reformation was Peter Philips (1560-1628, below), a staunch Roman Catholic who fled his homeland for a successful career in Catholic music on the Continent. His five-voice "O beatum et sacrosanctum Deum" made a noble closer to the first part of the program.
As for the Anglican, English-language composers, besides the case of Byrd, and besides the 15th-century para-liturgal songs, we had a rousing anthem by Christopher Tye (1505-1573, below top), "A sound of angels," and, finally, a six-voice secular piece, "Music divine", by the last survivor of the great era of Tudor music, Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656, below bottom).
The six singers who have been making up Eliza's Toyes have settled into a beautifully balanced and smooth ensemble. They listen to, and sing in sync with, each other. There is nothing else like them, as a continuing performing group for early sacred ensemble music in Madison. Although he is a UW-Madison graduate who now teaches at University of Wisconsin- Stout, Hui has kept up his association with the group, convinced of its need for continuity.
It is one more of those blessings that make Madison's musical life so wonderfully rich!
REMINDER: This Sunday, March 10, at 2 p.m. in Mills Hall on the UW-Madison campus, the University Bands will perform a FREE concert under conductors Justin Stolarik (below) and Matthew Mireles.

An old friend and co-worker of The Ear saw the posting I did last week about Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI (see him in the photo below, at a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony conducted by Daniel Barenboim at La Scala opera house in Milan). Benedict has a passion for playing the piano and listening to classical music, especially for the works of Mozart and Beethoven (composers right in keeping with his conservative theology, no?).
Here is a link:
Well, now as the papal conclave in the Vatican starts slowly toward getting underway (NEWS FLASH: The Vatican has announced the conclave will begin Tuesday) to elect a new pope, it appears that a playlist has been put together – by an American theologian at Notre Dame University at the request of the website Spotify — of classical music to help the cardinals (below, in an Associated Press photo) choose a new pope.
Most of it is, of course, choral music, usually with sacred themes — but not all of it.
Some of it is familiar to me; much of it is not.
Some of its is well known and popular; some of it is not.
But the list is catholic rather than Catholic and sure has a lot of excellent and memorable music.
Whether listening to this excellent music would lead to an excellent new pope is another question.
Here is a link:
Can any one of you think of other pieces of classical music that might be added? I thought of three pieces by Franz Liszt (below), who was quite the handsome and rakish youth and young man but who became a Franciscan monk later in life. (Below, a photo of Liszt in 1870 by Pierre Petit.)
The works are "Benediction of God in Solitude" from his "Poetic and Religious Harmonies" series, and his two "legends" about Saint Francis of Assisi: "St. Francis Preaching to the Birds" and "Saint Francis Walking on the Waves" (below, in a great YouTube video by Lise de la Salle with some incredible shots of the keyboard and her fingers walking on the rolling WAVES of notes.)
The Ear wants to hear.
And just maybe the Vatican's conclave of 142 cardinals, to say nothing of the new pope, also wants to hear.
ALERT: An apology is in order. Somehow, in Thursday's round-up of FREE chamber music events at the University of Wisconsin-Madison this weekend, I left out the performance on the Faculty Concert Series on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Mills Hall by The Thimming-Johnson Duo. UW clarinetist Les Thimmig (seen below with a saxophone) and UW pianist Jessica Johnson will perform the Sonatine in G minor, D. 406, by Franz Schubert; "Rhapsodie Dobrogeana" by Paul Jelescu; and two arias from Giuseppe Verdi's "Il Trovatore," among other works. The duo will be joined by UW percussionist Anthony DiSanza on marimba.

He plays the piano well.
He adores Mozart above all (see the YouTube video at bottom), followed closely by Beethoven.
He attends a lot of live performances and is a discerning listener.
He has a brother, who was a professional church choir conductor and a composer.
And now he is a retired ex-Pope or "pope emeritus," as the Vatican has baptized Pope Benedict XVI, seen below at a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with conductor Daniel Barenboim at La Scala in Milan.)
The outstanding classical music blog, "Deceptive Cadence," which you can fin don the website of National Public Radio, has a terrific and very detailed story about the retired pope and classical music.

NuForce Primo 8 Audiophile Quality In-Ear Headphones
NuForce announces the release of Primo 8, its flagship audiophile-quality in-ear headphones. The Primo 8 unites the coherence and seamlessness of one-driver earphones with the detail and transient speed of balanced armature drivers delivering an extraordinarily natural, lifelike sound. The Primo 8 excels in its ability to reproduce vocals unlike any other in-ear headphone on the market, today.
In-Ear Audiophile-Quality Speaker System
NuForce has outfitted each Primo 8 earpiece with four proprietary balanced armature speakers to form a unique 3-way design. The four balanced-armature drivers located in each earphone deliver smooth, extended response, explosive dynamic realism and fatigue-free sound. Two of the speakers operate as one for bass frequencies, with one speaker for midrange and one speaker for treble.
With two speakers working in tandem to reproduce the lowest frequency ranges, the listener will experience the purest, most natural bass possible. The Primo 8's fast, rock-solid bass operates as the foundation for dynamic sound reproduction previously available only in the most costly over-ear dynamic and electrostatic designs.
Ideal Balance and Accuracy
The graininess of other balanced armature earphone designs is often the result of crosstalk between drivers due to their crossover network's inability to prevent excessive frequency overlap. To combat this, NuForce has created a patent-pending three-way phase-coherent crossover design that achieves linear phase performance. This results in a natural, three-dimensional soundstage, lightning-fast transients and crystalline transparency.
The Primo 8's proprietary crossover design has the earphone's four speakers singing together as one. The results of this technology are clearly audible. Plucked strings take on an amazingly life-like presence, vocalists sound as if they are there "in-the-flesh," percussion explodes in a truly three-dimensional sound stage. With the Primo 8, the subtlest of details appear magical and the sound is never fatiguing.
To achieve the Primo 8's unprecedented sound, nothing less than the best audio cable will do. To be sure, there is more to the apparently smooth and lightweight cable than meets the eye. Inside this unique NuForce star-pattern Litz cable are several advanced technologies designed to achieve the most accurate sound reproduction possible.
For strain relief, typically a weak point of earphones, the Primo No. 8's cable is built around a core of Kevlar Silk. This core is then surrounded by a star pattern of seven silver wires. A layer of insulation envelops the silver wires, which in turn is surrounded by another star-pattern of nine bundles of fine gauge, seven-stranded, individually insulated OFC wires – a technique called Litz construction. The entire cable assembly is then jacketed in a pliable polymer to eliminate mechanical noise contamination. Taking cable design to its zenith, Primo 8 employs independent left and right ground wiring to reduce inter-channel crosstalk and maximize channel separation.
Ultimate Sound and Value
Uniting advanced, proprietary design, with a chorus of uncompromising features has empowered the Primo 8 Headphones to deliver true, industry-leading performance. We believe you will also find that NuForce innovation and dedication to changing the way we listen gives it the ultimate advantage… unparalleled value well above all others in its price-class – and beyond.
The Primo 8 is available worldwide for a suggested retail price of US $499.

In a world of taxes, fees and many financial responsibilities, we're almost willing to believe anything could happen. However, probably the majority of us never expected that there would be a fee for just looking at something.
Celiac Supplies, a grocery store in Brisbane, Australia, has embraced a never seen before policy – charging people with a $5 fee for looking at the store's goods. The owner stated that people tend to go inside, browse through the goods and even ask her for advice, then go and buy the same goods somewhere else. And while the owner thinks her goods aren't overly pricey, she believes that her competence should be more valued. According to her statement, around 60 times a week potential customers compare the displayed items with ones in other stores and eventually don't buy anything from Celiac Supplies.
However, while people who don't buy are charged with the $5 fee, the ones who make a purchase at the store are presented with the fee as a discount.

Achieving the MDGs
he Millennium Development Goals Reducing MDG Costs (MDGs)—a set of eight important, timebound goals ranging from reducing poverty High rates of population growth are largely by half to providing universal primary the result of frequent childbearing or high education—represent a blueprint for global fertility—often corresponding with a large development agreed to by member states unmet need for family planning (FP). In of the United Nations and international Madagascar, women still have, on average, development institutions. However, achieving about 5 children each, and surveys show that them will be a major challenge for Madagascar the unmet need for FP services is high (23.6 and many other developing countries that are percent of married women of reproductive not "on track" to meet the goals by the target age want to space or limit births but are date of 2015. As stated by United Nations not currently using any method of family Secretary-General Kofi Annan, it will take time planning).

In light of this what is clear is that reducing the unmet fact, development efforts in support of the need for FP services can help Madagascar MDGs should not overlook the importance and significantly reduce the costs of meeting the benefits of slowing population growth. five selected MDGs, including:
This brief, based on a multi-country study titled "Achieving the Millennium Development Goals: The Contribution of Family Planning," looks at how one strategy—meeting the need for family planning—can reduce population growth and make achieving the MDGs more affordable in Madagascar, in addition to directly contributing to the goals of reducing child mortality and improving maternal health. • • • • • Achieve universal primary education Reduce child mortality Improve maternal health Ensure environmental sustainability Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
to space and limit their births when
For example, the cost of achieving the MDG for universal primary education is influenced
by the number of children needing education. Fulfilling unmet need for family planning would result in fewer children requiring education, and as a result, there would be lower costs for universal primary education. Figure 1 shows the cumulative cost savings to the education sector from satisfying unmet need—$20.1 million would be saved by 2015. Because the effects of family planning are not immediate, long-term benefits would be even larger if the timeline were extended past 2015. Similar methodology was applied to other sectors working to meet the MDGs, revealing cost savings in meeting the immunization, water and sanitation, maternal health, and malaria targets (see Figure 2).

Improving Maternal and Child Health
In addition to the cost savings incurred by addressing unmet need, greater use of FP services can contribute directly to the MDG goals to reduce child mortality and improve maternal health; family planning helps reduce the number of high-risk pregnancies that result in high levels of maternal and child illness and death. The study shows that addressing unmet need in Madagascar could be expected to avert 2,918 maternal deaths and 185,960 child deaths by the target date of 2015.

Increasing access to and use of family planning is not one of the MDGs; however, as analysis has shown, it can make valuable contributions to achieving many of the goals. Increased contraceptive use can significantly reduce the costs of achieving selected MDGs and directly contribute to reductions in maternal and child mortality. The cost savings in meeting the five MDGs by satisfying unmet need outweigh the additional costs of family planning by a factor of 3 to 1.

Didnt seem to work for me By Brennen on 3/1/2015
Brennen wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI used this product to seed my BRS bio pellets which were hooked up to a mag 3.5 in a next reef smr1 biopellet reactor. I used 2x bottles dosed accordingly over multiple months and it didn't seem to work as I hoped. nitrates never got below 5ppm ended up switching to zeovit. Looking back I wish I tried zeobak on my pellets before making the full swap. -

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 5A)Review
I just purchased my 08 Jeep. I had a 98 Accord with near 200000 miles and with a family started needed something bigger and newer. I found my 08 Jeep marked down to a very affordable price and made the choice over many others cars and SUVs were were looking at. My Jeep is about as basic as they come, but I was not looking for top of the line nor could I afford it. The only thing I can saw 100% I wish I had was better fuel economy, but I knew what I was getting when I got an SUV. I think the cruise control should be back on the steering wheel, or wheel mounted radio controls should be on all models. I wish I had the roof rack. I probably wouldn't use it, but it adds to the look.Best Features
I love the look of the Jeep Grand Cherokee in and out. The interior design is great other than the cruise controls. My family and I have more than enough room. My feeling is if you want more room get a full size SUV not a midsize. It drives wonderful.Worst Features
I owned a 1996 Grand Cherokee in the past. I think the 4.0 motor was a better motor than the 3.7 in them now. It needs more power, but its not a sluggish motor either. I would love to have better fuel economy also. Make the gear shift straight forward and back. I don't like the zig zag thing.

Urban Decay/Zoya
One coat of Zoya Luna over two coats of Urban Decay F Bomb. I'm kind of mixed about this...on some nails it looks nice, but on others I either did too much of Luna that it covered F Bomb or too little that it looked streaky. I do like that it kind of reminds me of Christmas! I'll review the individual colors once I've worn them on their own.

Both Glasgow clubs come up against former captains in John McClelland and Roy Aitken, now player-coach of St Johnstone and player / co-assistant manager at Aberdeen respectively. If they need any reminding of the dangers of players putting one over on their former clubs, they need only consider the smiling face of Dean Saunders at the weekend, after his two goals against Liverpool.
McClelland knows only too well the state of the Rangers psyche when faced with a seemingly inferior club in cup competition. As club captain, he helped to keep the cupboard door firmly locked on a particularly nasty skeleton when he held aloft the League Cup in 1983 and Skol Cup in 1984.
'There is always pressure on Rangers on such occasions - they are desperate to avoid another Berwick,' he claims. Nevertheless, Rangers will start as clear favourites to progress on Tuesday.
The following night, Aberdeen travel to Glasgow hoping to defend a remarkable record that has seen them unbeaten in cup ties against Celtic at the national stadium in the last 20 years. The game will test Willie Miller's capacity to instil in his players the same self-belief which helped him become a winner on so many occasions in Glasgow.
Celtic, faced with the suspension of their centre-half, Tony Mowbray, must look for victory from adversity. Pat Bonner, the Irish goalkeeper recalled after 10 months of reserve-team football, conceded four goals at Falkirk on Saturday, leaving Celtic trailing 4-2 at one stage, although they fought back for a 5-4 victory. It is unlikely they will be able to come back if they allow Aberdeen a two-goal advantage.
Whichever teams contest the final on 25 October, they are likely to contest the Skol Cup for the last time, the sponsoring company having indicated a desire to end their 10-year association.
