I had made an appointment and wasn't sure If I would make it by lunch or after work. The employees called to let me know they would be out around the lunch hour and wanted to be sure that if I came then, there would be somebody there. I was very impressed that they took the time to call me and let me know that.Christina from Pasadena, TX

No 2 is the best all around color in my opinion. i was using No 1 until a woman suggested i try No 2 and WOW what a difference. i still wish it lasted longer. it seems like you get a good hour or two and then it's gone. i can't help but love it though. i bought No 2 for a friend and she said the same thing. honestly, try No 2!!
I have got #3 (peachy) and #1 (pale pink) and just got #2 (ivory) on last Friday. I use #3 to conceal the dark circle and highlight with #2. Before, the SA recommended #1 for me. All along, I don't think it's good matching with my skin tone. On last Friday, I went to the counter at IFC, Hong Kong and requested to try another shade #2. As I have yellow base skin tone that #1 is more suitable layer on the #3 and it's good matching with me. Besides, I use it to embellish the brow bone, the nose side and the chin. The texture is so smooth, light and not powdery. It looks great after setting with the loos powder as well.
My all time favorite, have gone through 3 of these in the last few years - and just bought 2 more at the airport (cheaper there then in shops).
It is the perfect pick-me-up, to make your eye area brighter - I inherited permanent dark pigment under my eyes, but this product does make a difference. A light, natural difference though. If I feel more determined to get rid of the dark circles under my eyes, I go the full route of eye cream (Korres) + concealer (MAC) + Touche Eclat = perfection :)
Very moist. Nice glow. Very pricy. Needs constant cleaning.
I'm another victim of the skin rash. Admittedly, I didn't wash the brush and dry it as carefully as I should have. I loved the product before the allergic reaction. It really made a difference in how I looked.
As many reviewers have already noted, this is more a highlighter than a concealer. It might still be OK to use on its own if you don't have dark undereye circles, but if you do then you'll need to use this in combination with a proper concealer. I have dark undereye circles, redness and deep hollows and this wasn't able to detract from them so this was only adequate for me as a highlighter.
The No2 was the best match for my skintone but I still found it too light. It tended to create a pale halo around my eyes which even drew attention to the fact that I was trying to conceal something and made me look like a reverse panda. It was also quite drying and caused my undereye area to become flaky and crusty. As with most YSL products though, the packaging luxe and divine. I didn't have a problem with the brush becoming smelly.

nice highlighter rather than concealer can be drying under the eyes. brush applicator does not work for me but application with a stippling brush around eyes seems to be better. not a hg product but glamourus pen to carry in your make up bag especially on the touch and go. big disadvantage it the colours available as it seems to limit the kind of skin tones that this will work for. but has appeared to last me a long time.
Edit: i am very happy with my pen i have to say ive now mastered the art of applying it. you must make sure your skin is well moisturised and apply to areas such eyebags either straight from the brush or taking from the back of your hand. i find that a patting motion with your fourth finger from your thumb works best. however i would say this is for those days when your skin is less then blemished and dry. this works great to accentuate your lips. simply line the contours of your lips and blend. also works great to redefine lips prior lipstick application. you must remember this is a highlighter so if your eye bags are a nightmare you will have to have some concealer on underneath. ive read that many have suffered the eye rash. and i must say ladies if you wash your brush tip in luke warm water after each application (and i know it is a drag) it will deter any chances of a rash occuring. i stress washing the brush and keeping it clean is a must because to have to throw away such an expensiv item is a pain in the back side. it is a versatile product and application needs to be mastered to suit the person. watch the touche eclat webiste for tips. there are copies out there but none match this, not a must buy but definately something to purchase should you want to try a high end highlighter.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm not sure about this product. I definitely wouldn't call it a concealer because it didn't cover up any of my imperfections.
I bought it because it gets raves reviews in magazines but I don't know what the big deal is, it really doesn't do anything for me.
It goes on sheer and smooth without creasing and brightens the area around the eyes, but its so not worth the price tag.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It does a decent job in brightening up the undereye area, but I find it's a little drying. This is not a concealer so if you have dark undereye circles like me you'd need to use a concealer underneath. I'd definately repurchase if it was more moisturizing, but it isn't so I'm on the lookout for a better highlighter.
I used #1 before. While it was great it was a little pinkish. #2 is more yellow based (albeit light), which works better on my MMM, yellow undertoned skin. Gives lovely illumination, really does brighten up touched upon areas (e.g underneath the eyes, corners of the eyes) as well as definition where needed (I love using it on my brow bones, sometimes above the brows to enhance the arch). It's not meant to be used as a concealer.
The price in Malaysia has definitely gone up since I last purchased (used to be RM119, 3 years back) - retails for RM126 now but still worth it.

Jason Hook is ready to go solo again. The Five Finger Death Punch guitarist has just announced he'll be putting out his second solo album sometime this spring.
While Hook isn't giving any details about the new album, his debut solo release, 2007's Safety Dunce , was an instrumental project that featured percussion by 5FDP drummer Jeremy Spencer . Safety Dunce picked up the trophy for Best Instrumental Record at the 2007 L.A. Music Awards.
It may be a while before Hook promotes the release, as he's got a pretty full slate of tour dates with 5FDP in the upcoming months. The next show for the band will be on the ShipRocked cruise, which is slated to set sail January 26-30. In addition to a headlining concert by 5FDP, the festival-at-sea includes sets by Papa Roach , Three Days Grace , Sevendust , In This Moment , Candlebox , Tremonti , Young Guns , Black Stone Cherry , and Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch 's side project, Love & Death .

Expenditures for housing, personal insurance rise fastest in 1997
April 01, 1999
In 1997, the largest expenditure increases among the major components of spending were the roughly 5-percent gains in housing and in personal insurance and pensions. Housing expenditures accounted for 32.4 percent of total expenditures in 1997, up 0.6 percentage point from the previous year, while personal insurance and pensions accounted for 9.3 percent, up 0.1 percentage point.
[Chart data—TXT]
The 4.9-percent housing expenditure increase followed gains of 2.8 percent in 1996 and 3.5 percent in 1995. Expenditures in 1997 on housing subcomponents showed the following changes: housefurnishings and equipment increased 12.0 percent; household operations rose 5.0 percent; shelter increased 4.6 percent; utilities, fuels, and public services jumped 2.8 percent; and housekeeping supplies fell 1.9 percent.
Following a 3.2-percent rise in 1996, the 5.3-percent personal insurance and pensions expenditure rise in 1997 broke down into a 7.4-percent increase for expenditures on life insurance and other such personal insurance, and a 5.1-percent increase for pensions and Social Security.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey. Additional information is available from "Consumer Expenditures in 1997", Report 927.

To make it even easier for you to build AWS applications that span regions, we're introducing a new EBS Snapshot Copy feature today. You can now copy EBS snapshots between EC2 Regions.Why Copy?
So, why would you want to copy an EBS Snapshot from one AWS Region to another? Here are some of the more common use cases:
- Geographic Expansion - You want to be able to launch your application in a new Region.
- Migration - You want to be able to migrate your application from one Region to another.
- Disaster Recovery - You want to back up your data and your log files across different geographical locations at regular intervals to minimize data loss and recovery time.
EBS Snapshot Copy simplifies each of these use cases by simplifying the copy process.
Ok, How do I Copy Snapshots?
You can now copy EBS Snapshots from one AWS Region to another. You can copy any accessible Snapshots that are in the "completed" status. This includes Snapshots that you created, Snapshots that were shared with you, and also Snapshots from the AWS Marketplace, VM Import/Export, and Storage Gateway. If you copy a Marketplace product to a new Region, you need to make sure that the product is supported in the destination Region.
You can initiate copies from the AWS Management Console or from the command line. You can also use the new CopySnapshot function from your own code. Here's how you initiate a copy operation from the Console:
After you choose the Copy Snapshot operation, the Console will ask you where you would like to copy the snapshot:
While the copy is underway, you can watch the progress by switching to the destination Region:
What Else Do I Need to Know?
Here are a few important facts about this new feature:
- The AWS Management Console shows the progress of a Snapshot copy in progress, you can check the percentage complete there.
- You can initiate multiple Snapshot Copy commands simultaneously either by selecting and copying multiple Snapshots to the same region, or by copying a snapshot to multiple regions in parallel. The in-progress copies do not affect the performance of the associated EBS Volumes.
- The console-based interface is push-based; you log in to the source Region and tell the console where you'd like the Snapshot to end up. The API and the command line are, by contrast, pull-based and you must run them within the destination Region.
You will be charged the regular data transfer prices when you copy snapshots between Regions. Once you have created a new Snapshot, you'll pay the regular price to store it in the destination Region.
Coming Soon
As you can see, EBS Snapshot Copy, will let you simplify your geographic expansion, data center migration, and disaster recovery. As a next step, we will implement copying of AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) between Regions. You'll be able to copy public and custom-created AMIs to the Region of your choice.

text: Testimony on Comparative Effectiveness Research Alliance of Comparative Effectiveness StakeholdersOn April 3, 2009, public testimony on comparative effectiveness research was given at a meeting of the National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality. The testimony represents the views of the presenter and not necessarily those of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) or the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Delivered Via Electronic MailCarolyn M. Clancy, M.D.DirectorAgency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)U. S. Department of Health and Human Services540 Gaither RoadRockville, MD 20850Dear Dr. Clancy:The Alliance of Comparative Effectiveness Stakeholders (ACES) includes patients, providers, family caregivers and their partners in patient care who will serve as a leading voice for patients in the debate on comparative effectiveness research (CER) to ensure that their concerns are carefully and fully considered by policy-makers as CER initiatives are approved and implemented. Through education, information-sharing, and coordination with other CER coalitions and advocacy groups, ACES aims to preserve access to care, support formal stakeholder involvement in CER as well as assure data and methods used in CER include patient and provider perspectives.The undersigned members of ACES appreciate the opportunity to share these comments as the National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality ("Council") works to develop recommendations for AHRQ and the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding priorities for a national health services research agenda. ACES members have adopted a set of principles that we recommend for the Council's consideration as it works to identify recommendations for CER:An effective CER initiative will require a continuing dialogue between stakeholders and policy-makers.Transparency of decision-making and broad stakeholder input must be ensured.Cost containment cannot be the primary focus of CER.CER must not limit patients' access to necessary treatments.CER must not restrict the practice of medicine.CER must recognize and encourage new innovations in patient care.An effective CER initiative must be structured to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse patient population.Given the enormous increase in funding to Federal Agencies for comparative effectiveness research, we respectfully urge the Council to ensure that its recommendations reflect the necessary data sources, analytical constructs, and methodological tools to conduct such broad-based research and produce meaningful results. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act invested significant funding into the ongoing AHRQ comparative effectiveness research program, and we believe a sound framework must be established to ensure those dollars are used appropriately broad public input and transparent decision-making as recommendations are determined, including direct participation by private-sector advocates for patients, caregivers, providers and other key stakeholders. Transparency is a critical component to "doing it right." There has been a strong push for transparency in the Obama Administration, and we hope that the Council will conduct its deliberations on CER priorities in public, with an opportunity for stakeholders to participate fully in these important discussions.We would also note that recommendations for CER should include populations where a lack of scientific data currently exists, including research on at-risk and under-served populations, individuals with disabilities and the chronically ill. Finally, we would again emphasize that CER must focus on the development of appropriate clinical evidence—not the development of payment and coverage policy recommendations that would restrict patient access and physician practice based on CER findings.We thank you for considering our views.Sincerely,Alzheimer's Foundation of AmericaAmerican Medical Rehabilitation Providers AssociationEli Lilly & CompanyFriends of Cancer ResearchMedical Device Manufacturers AssociationMen's Health NetworkMillennium PharmaceuticalsNational Alliance for CaregivingNational Council for Community Behavioral HealthcareNational Hispanic Medical AssociationNational Minority Quality ForumTreatment Effectiveness Now ProjectCo-signing Members of the Alliance of Comparative Effectiveness Stakeholderscc: Members of the National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality Current as of April 2009 Internet Citation: Testimony on Comparative Effectiveness Research: Alliance of Comparative Effectiveness Stakeholders.

They risk their lives on the battlefield, but they also help kids here at home.
Wednesday the Marines kicked off their annual Toy for Tots campaign.
From now until December 9th you can donate an unwrapped toy that will be given to children who might not otherwise get anything for Christmas.
Last year donations were good, but they hope they'll be even better this year.
This year we would like to exceed our year's previous goal of 14,000 toys, we would like to jump it up to 16,000 toys. Instead of helping 4,000 needy kids, we can help 6,000," said USMC Gunnery Sgt. Ernest Thompson.
You can find Toys for Tots drop off boxes at a lot of places including Walmart and Toys R Us.
The program serves nine south Georgia counties.

Good hike up to summit of volcanic mountain. Wear comfortable shoes not sandles or jandles as all stones. Take swimming gear with you as they stop at some hot pools where you can have a swim.
After speaking to some locals we decided to eat at Flame of the Volcano. The food was everything they had said it would be, and the family atmosphere was heart warming. It was traditional Greek food, and probably one of the best meals I've ever had. We weren't rushed at all, and the owner's adorable son even helped serve us....
Food was excellent. The host has got it exactly right! Good portions and never rushed even at peak times.
The owner is so hospitable and the food is amazing! We came back here several times during our week long stay. If your visiting Fira you have to visit this restaurant!!
We stopped at this restaurant, by chance, for a couple of drinks after climbing the path from the harbour (off a cruise ship) and wandering around Fira for a while. Prices at other places had made us move on.

The food was great! The hospitality was better! Try a variety of entrees, it's worth it. Make sure you're really hungry.
Been here for lunch on both our visits to Santorini - and will continue to do so if we get to Santorini again. Marvelous views from this charming restaurant away from the busy part of town. Very generous host, superb food.
Recently visited and enjoyed in particular a lovely dish of Greek yogurt and honey, heavenly. We found this delightful restaurant whilst trying to escape the madding crowds when visiting the Island during a cruise. Well worth the climb, for the food, service and view.
authentic and grat greek food and the owner speaks (almost) every language and is very helpful!
Also recommended for vegetarians (with an special section on the menu)
the owner is a great guy ( as well his grandson - alvin). we did not even ordered, he served us with what he wanted :)) but was a great decision, we had the best ever aubergines, the tastiest tomatoes, and the crispiest fish :)). and what can i say about the ice cream on the house and the glass...

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 11.02.2012
- The Employment Situation
- Nonfarm payrolls rose by 171,000 in October, outperforming even the most optimistic guess (168,000) by professional forecasters in the Bloomberg survey, and coming on the heels of relatively sharp upward revisions to the previous two months' estimates. Nonfarm payrolls were revised up in sum by 84,000 over the past two months (61,000 of that was to private payrolls). These revisions helped push the average monthly gain in payrolls during the third quarter up to 174,000, compared to just 67,000 in the second quarter (which looks even more like transitory weakness given today's report). Notably, nonfarm payrolls have averaged a gain of 162,000 per month over the past 12 months, compared to its pre-recession long-run (30-year) average of roughly 150,000. That comparison is perhaps even a little more favorable for private payrolls (164,000 per month. over the past 12 months, compared to a pre-recession long-run average gain of 130,000). Payroll gains were concentrated in the private service sector, accounting for 163,000 of the overall gain. Employment gains were strongest in professional and business services (up 51,000), retail trade (up 36,000), and healthcare (up 30,000). Goods-producing payrolls rose 21,000 in October, almost reversing a decline of 27,000 over the past two months. And government payrolls, which were revised up by 23,000 over the past two months, slipped down 13,000 in October. On the household side of the report, the number of employed persons increased by 410,000 in October, absorbing most of the net inflows into the labor force (up 578,000). However, that excess inflow into the labor force nudged the unemployment rate up to 7.9 percent. The labor force participation rate rose 0.2 percentage points to 63.8 percent, though that's still 0.3 tenths below its level from a year ago. And the employment-to-population ratio edged up a tenth to 58.8 percent, and has risen by 0.5 percentage points over the past two months.

Jeff Monson at Sengoku 2 in Japan
It's a fight that Jeff Monson has been asking to get for years, and now he's finally got his wish.
According to the American Top Team fighter, he will be facing former Pride champion Fedor Emelianenko in M-1 Global on Nov. 12 in Russia.
Monson made the announcement via his Twitter account on Tuesday night.
"Nov 12th vs Fedor in Russia M-1 confirmed," Monson wrote.
Monson has been rumored to face Emelianenko several times in the past, but the fight never came together. It appears as of Tuesday he'll finally get a chance to face the Russian legend.
As for Fedor Emelianenko, the former Pride, Affliction, and Strikeforce fighter will return to action with the goal of stopping his three-fight losing streak.
More MMA
At one time, Emelianenko was thought of as the premier heavyweight in the sport, but recently he's fallen on harder times, dropping three consecutive fights before Strikeforce opted not to retain him any longer.
While Emelianenko remains under contract to Showtime, he will no longer be competing under the Zuffa umbrella, but he will continue fighting. His next bout will happen in his native Russia.
The last time Emelianenko appeared in a fight in Russia was his 2007 bout against Matt Lindland in St. Petersburg in Bodog Fights, where he won by armbar in the first round.
M-1 Global officials were not available for comment at the time of this publication to comment on how the fight between Fedor and Monson will be broadcast.
MMAWeekly.com will have more information on the heavyweight bout when it becomes available.
For more UFC News and UFC Rumors, follow MMAWeekly.com on Twitter and Facebook.
Pretty safe fight. Good for rebuilding I guess. Hope this is an actual fight and Monson isn't getting paid off to take a dive.
Surprised they didn't go with Ricco or some other washed up former UFC champ. M1 seems to have a hard on for those types of fights.
I fully expect M1 to pull the rug out from under Monson and announce Fedor will be fighting someone else and the fight with Jeff was never the plan.
I would think that Fedor and his handlers would try to match him up with a fighter who would take him up a step or two,and not a match that does nothing to help him move up the rankings!
Finally a Fedor fight in which I will be cheering Fedor to win.Not that anyone who reads this cares who I will be cheering for.
IF this fight happens, I hope Monson destroys Fedor. I really enjoy Fedors fights, however I would like to see him at 205 to see what he can do. Hopefully losing will make that happen or retire. Also when I say destroy, I mean a really boring decision or some type choke. Monson hasnt won a fight via ko/tko in almost 6 years.
Oh come on. Monson's cardio & speed being what it is, this is a tune-up fight for Fedor.
Jeff Monson looked horrible against Cormier.
I see Fedor taking this one fairly easy. I would like to think he can rebuild himself, but we'll see..
Maybe he can fight for One FC? That would be a great stage for him to fight under.
Either way, win or lose, people will tune in whenever he fights!
If the people running One FC have an ounce of business sense they will avoid Fedor and M1 like the plague.
I agree and disagree.
Let's look at the former M-1 partners.
Bodog: Went under. But it is unclear whether M-1 caused that.
Affliction: Went under. Most likely they couldn't afford M-1′s demands. But they were running a crazy business model anyway. Paying fighters $800k~$1.2million????? They could not afford that. Had they paid their fighters more reasonably, they would have survived. However, I don't know if they could have attracted all the top fighters they had.
Strikeforce: The partnership with M-1 escalated them to the top. Owners made money by selling the business to the UFC.
So it is unclear whether M-1 caused the downfall of Affliction and Bodog.
The thing is, having someone like Fedor on the roster instantly legitimizes the organization (at least it used it). SF was shit before Fedor came along.
fedor back on the winning track.
If ever there was a tune up fight, this is it. If Fedor can't beat Monson he should pack it up for good!
Really ? Is this the MMA training wheels for Fedor way to fight cans Fedor.
I like and dislike this fight.
As a fan of Fedor, I want Fedor to make money. And he will make money fighting anyone at this point of his career.
As a fan of MMA, I want to see him retire. In terms of legacy, Fedor should have retired right after the Arlovski fight. Then we would still be talking about him being the best p4p fighter. He is doing disservice to the sport by losing to fighters of low caliber.

But if you like to work for your health and get pumped up in the process, stationary bike riding is one way to go.Bud Behrend is 78 years old. He was not the only senior breaking a sweat at the Corpus Christi Athletic Club's spin class. He said if he can spin, anyone can."It's a tough class, but you really feel good about it," Behrend said. "It keeps you young."An important feature to any spin class is the instructor."Cycling is about interval training," Spin Instructor Josie Kudlicki said. "It's about endurance. It's about strength training."Kudlicki said that every day, she has people trying her spin class for the first time and returning because they like the results. She said routine sessions in spin class can easily lead to burning calories, strengthening the body and gaining energy.As with any exercise, be sure to consult your doctor or physician first.

By Billy Graham • December 7, 2011 • Topics: Anger
You've already taken the first step by realizing that your outbursts of anger are wrong and do great harm, and that you need to do something about them. The Bible's judgment is true: "An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered one commits many sins" (Proverbs 29:22).
What can you do? First, admit that you can't conquer this problem on your own. You need God's help — and He is willing to give it to you. If you've never done so, turn to Him and admit you need Him, and then ask Jesus Christ to come into your life to forgive you and change you. God wants to help us — but He won't if we think we can shut Him out of our lives. Open your heart and life to Christ today.
Then ask Him to help deal with your anger in practical ways. Do certain situations make you angry? If so, learn to avoid them — and when you can't, commit them in advance to God and seek His help. And when you feel anger welling up within you, turn instantly to God and ask for His peace.
Most of all, ask God to transform you from within, making you more and more like Jesus Christ every day. Make His Word, the Bible, your daily companion, and let its truth reshape your life. The Bible says, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since… you were called to peace" (Colossians 3:15).
I have an issue with anger, what helps me is to remember that Jesus expects us to exhibit the fruits of the spirit one of which is patience, and the way to do this is to be regenerated thru salvation, and studying the scripture.

It looks like Kanye West is finally sick of the whole Theraflu controversy. After receiving backlash regarding his decision to name his new, controversial single, ""Theraflu,"" after the well-known cold remedy, the rapper has decided to cater to the manufacturer's demands and change the title of his song completely. From now on, you can refer to the song as ""Way Too Cold."" (Side effects remain the same.)
But West's temperature doesn't seem to be running too high on the matter, nor is he giving anyone the cold shoulder. In fact, he seemed downright cheery when he made the announcement via Twitter on April 15. ""I changed the name of the song THERAFLU to WAY TOO COLD and you can buy it now at KANYEWEST.COM,"" the singer tweeted, along with providing a link to his official website.
Nothing else about the song seems to have changed, though, including his subtle shout-out to Kim Kardashian or his not-so-subtle reference to PETA. But, let's be honest, he wouldn't be Kanye West if he wasn't indulging in some sort of controversy.

Witness the unspeakable evil of the "Bell Dude"
This is loosely based on a TV commercial I saw in 2001 or '02 for Dell computers, when "Steven" the much-hated "Dell Dude" was in all their ads. Of course, now we all know he was in reality a demon, but at the time many were fooled.
Thanks Newgrounds (front page!), and everyone who left reviews.
Running time 2:15
"William" and "Mrs. Lindsay" were names used in the ad. William's mom almost seemed to be attracted to the creepy dude, which I found disturbing. The curly-haired kid never said a word, the poor dumb bastard.

UPDATE/KENNEWICK, WA - Benton PUD says power should be restored around 10 o'clock Wednesday morning after an outage near Jump Off Joe.
The PUD says about 100 people lost power when a power line fell into a wood pile on Game Farm Road and caused a fire. The outage also included our transmission tower, which is why the NBC signal went down.
Engineers say the signal should come back on when the power does.
KENNEWICK, WA - If you're having trouble receiving our signal Wednesday morning, it's most likely because of a down power line near one of our transmitters.
Benton PUD says a power line fell along Game Farm Road near Jump Off Joe, (where the transmitter tower is) which caused a power outage in the area.
Engineers we spoke with say it could be a few hours before our signal starts broadcasting again, depending on when Benton PUD can restore the power.
The PUD says crews are on scene working to get the power back on.

Osman and Neville out of Chelsea clash.
Phil Neville
Phil Neville has played his last game for Everton as David Moyes confirmed his captain won't be fit to face Chelsea on Sunday.
The long serving Leon Osman won't feature either. Both players have knee problems.
Osman, 32, has fluid on his knee and won't play at Stamford Bridge this weekend.
Neville remains sidelined with his own ongoing knee injury.
Moyes said: "He's not fit. Phil has got a problem with his knee so he won't be available for the game.
"We are not too far away, Leon Osman is not fit, he has got a problem with his knee, he has got some fluid on it. So he will miss the game.
"I think apart from that, I have got most people available."
Neville's absence means an anti-climactic end to a eight-year spell with the Blues during which he has assumed the club captaincy and exterted his considerable influence both on and off the pitch.
On Thursday he was handed a prestigious prize at the End of Season Awards, just days after an emotional Goodison Park send off.

As you've likely noticed, Georgia Tech isn't the only team giving up more yardage than in previous seasons, though the Yellow Jackets have been a little more aggressive about it than most teams.
I looked up total offense numbers for teams ranked 1st, 30th, 60th and 90th for the past few seasons. The increase is considerable. (This season's numbers, obviously, are partial.) (Sorry the columns are kind of funky. I know how some of you like neatly aligned columns.)
2012 2011 2010 2009 2006
1. 659 599 531 563 559
30. 463 432 423 417 376
60. 410 387 381 384 345
90. 366 348 334 334 312
There's a lot of factors, obviously. But two stick out. The spread has taken over the game, which has made offenses more dynamic and efficient in getting ball-carriers in space. This is related, I think, to tackling being poor. Defensive players are going to miss more tackles one-on-one in the open field than they would inside the tackle box.
Second, more teams are playing more quickly. The following is the number of times offenses have run 90 plays or more in a game. Bear in mind the 2012 season is around the halfway point. The other years are complete-season numbers.
2012 – 46
2011 – 58
2010 – 45
2009 – 26
2008 – 20
Clemson ran a season-high 93 against the Yellow Jackets Saturday, the product of the Tigers' high tempo and Tech's inability to stop Clemson on third down. Tech is giving up 431 yards per game this season, which, if it holds, will be 71 yards more than last season and the highest average in school history. Miami ran 84 in its win over the Jackets.
I'm going to guess this defense will also end up having been on the field for the most plays in school history. (The Tech media guide, as comprehensive as it is, does not keep track of that statistic.) The total defense record, if you want to call it that, is held by the 1997 team at 420 yards. That was George O'Leary's third team, which went 7-5.
Mind you, all this is not to say that Tech's defensive problems are all the result of more plays and spread offenses. Just found it interesting.

Brent Venables had this to say after the game….
"I'm so glad that game is done," Venables said after the Tigers' 47-31 survival of Georgia Tech. "What a pain in the butt. I felt like I played every down today. It's a tough offense to defend and creates a lot of stress in different ways.
Defense is the thorn…

October 8th, 2012

1,720 yards and 85 first downs. That's what Tech's defense has allowed the last three games. Miami certainly wasn't a spread team and MTSU had just as much success running as anything else.
Opponents are 31 of 46 in third-down conversions the last three weeks and in that same span, they are 13 of 21 on third downs of 7 yards or more.
You want to get off the field? Make a stop.

Need to abandon the 3-4 immediately and go to a 4-3 scheme. This will help put pressure on the QB and give us a better chance to stuff the run. Send the strong safety on blitzes occasionally to disrupt the passing game. Send Groh back to retirement, his stuff just doesn't work with the talent we have. UGA has much more talent and depth than we do and we saw what SC did to that 3-4. Just don't think it can be run effectively in the college ranks.

Part of this is also inflated by the fact that teams play more easy games to begin the season. Now that we're in conference play, those numbers will likely fall.

GT Alum, not defending Groh or Tech, but you're dead wrong if you think those numbers stop climbing this year. There's a definite trend to quicken the pace – not only run the spread in various forms, but much more no-huddle. Nick Saban was quoted a week ago as being concerned about this from the standpoint of safety for the athletes – this faster pace limits the ability of the defense to substitute (offense too, for that matter). Not sure if he's correct (or if that was his true motive), but it's a fact that he's spoken out about it and is proof that it's not just something that's happening because weak teams are overly influencing statistics. Finally, note that the stats in the second chart were season-long numbers except for this season, and the trend line is clear. No doubt this year's total will continue the upward curve.

I remember years ago when tech was consistently ahead at the half and lost in the second half. Initially I thought it was half time coaching, but it was actually lack of depth – our first team defense was good, but the second teamers did not hold up their end.
Maybe the same?
October 9th, 2012

@ Jim 70. Nope, not the same. Our starters start the game off crappy and end the game even slower.

Ken, good point: "The spread has taken over the game, which has made offenses more dynamic and efficient in getting ball-carriers in space. This is related, I think, to tackling being poor." Several years ago Sports Illustrated ran an article about the decline of High School football after Title IX with more talent turning to soccer and lacrosse. Do you think that, the increase in open field play, and rules that reduced practice time have resulted in a lack of good fundamentals? I see more and more poor tackling now in college, and even in the NFL. Are players tackling high, instead of wrapping up the thighs, because they are going after the ball all the time, or is it just they have not been ingrained with good technique?

With 13 cars lined up outside, it CAN take all day to dyno every team in the Tuner GP, especially when each car is allowed three pulls for consistency. So this year, Shawn Church from Church Automotive Testing in Wilmington, CA generously offered his services.
Not only does he have an enormous facility, with more than enough parking for our motley crew, but Church boasts three Dynapack dynos, allowing us to run multiple cars together.
The Dynapack bolts to the driven hubs of the car, ensuring no wheelspin and greater accuracy. It takes a little longer to fit the adapters than strapping a car down, but the Church crew was well practiced in the art.
Once everything was clicking, we had one car being dynoed while a second was being prepared for its runs. We had all the cars tested in about five hours, with only minor problems to overcome, all associated with traction control systems farting because they could sense all four wheels turning at 100mph. However, Shawn Church was very familiar with his equipment and was able to resolve every issue. He's used to testing a huge variety of machines and problem-solving electronic issues, so nothing we presented caused him any difficulties.
The weather was unusually hot for early October and the humidity was very low; not ideal conditions for maximum power runs, but all the teams coped well, some using ice or nitrous to cool the intake.
As mentioned, we allowed up to three runs and recorded the best results here. We considered taking an average but several cars had spurious readings because of traction control or heat issues, skewing the results. Since the Dynapack can't produce wheelspin, the numbers recorded should be an accurate measurement of what the engines were capable of.
Attempting to run the cars in alphabetical order, Berk Technology was first on the dyno with its Time Attack-prepped BMW 135i. As in past years, the team is only interested in the track portion, but tolerates our dyno session, not expecting to win but hoping for around 400hp at the wheels from its N54 twin-turbo 3.0L. "It's got a stock bottom end with bolt-ons," company owner Bryan Min explained. "We won't win here but just want to beat Christian [Miller, 034Motorsport] on the Streets of Willow track!"
As predicted, they didn't have the most powerful engine, but they did hit 402hp to the wheels at 5900rpm, with 420 lb-ft of torque at 4500rpm during three very consistent runs, proving they know exactly what this car is capable of.
Their big rival, 034Motorsport, always brings a big gun to the fight. After several years running a mid-engined VW GTI with a single-turbo Audi S4 V6, the team reverted to its B5 Audi A4. It's powered by a 1.8T 20v motor with a 2.0L built bottom-end. The motor revs to 8500rpm and uses a Precision 6262 turbo to make its power.
Team principal, Javad Shadzi predicted 630hp and seemed almost disappointed to realize 596whp at 7000rpm and 501 lb-ft at 5560rpm. It turns out, the dry air may have been causing some ignition problems, prompting the team to request a shorter ramp time on the dyno to avoid engine damage. This undoubtedly compromised output but kept the 2.0T in one piece. However, 034 came away with the most powerful car in its class, if not the Tuner GP...
Running later in the day when the temperature had risen, Platte Forme returned with the same ESS Tuning VT2-500+ supercharged E46 M3 as last year. However, they'd gone from 9psi to 12, improved the cooling with a new intercooler and oil cooler, and addressed fuel starvation problems with a new fuel cell.
The guys had sneakily been testing on the Church Dynapack the day before and identified problems with the Okada Projects ignition coils and throttle position sensor. Once changed, the 3.2L motor put out 473whp at 8000rpm and 325 lb-ft at 6500rpm, an increase of 90hp over the previous day...
We would recommend you watch the ECGP12 video at europeancarweb.com - not only is it a great record of events but it captures some of the violence of the M3's exhaust note. Along with the E36 M3 and CLS63, it stood out as one of the more spectacular-sounding cars at the event.
With no FWD cars entered for the first time in 10 years, Raffi and Vic Kazanjian from Euro Sport Accessories had abandoned their usual VW GTI for an AWD R32. It was equipped with a VF-Engineeering supercharger, head gasket spacer to reduce the compression to 9:1, Eurospec 264? cams plus custom Euro Sport FMIC and exhaust system.
It was great to hear a VR6 running at full song on the dyno, exceeding the predicted 360hp to produce a respectable 387whp at 6000rpm and 379 lb-ft at 5000rpm.
Its major opponent would be the 2012 Golf R from former R32 turbo specialists HPA Motorsports, who had driven down from Canada for our event. They brought a stage 2 version of what they described as a DIY street conversion, the car having a full interior.
Hoping for 410hp at the crank, it boasted an 8.7:1 head spacer for the GT30-71/76 turbo set at 26.5psi, plus an HGP intake manifold and injectors. It ran an HPA downpipe, quad muffler system, software and a prototype intake.
On the dyno, the combination produced 392whp at 6700rom and 350 lb-ft at 5000rpm, putting it close to the prediction. It would certainly be interesting to see how these VWs compared on the track the following day...
The third VW was the Mk5 Rabbit from Bluewater Performance, but with its AWD conversion and turbo upgrade, this specialized machine was practically halfway to time attack status. It debuted last year to take on 034's purpose-built machine and did exceptionally well, although it suffered on the track slightly with cooling issues. After significant development over the past year, the team returned to try and win the event.
Unfortunately, things got off to a bad start for Bluewater when the 2.5L five-cylinder engine block breather failed four days before ECGP12. After losing all its oil, the motor had to be rebuilt the following day and fitted the day after. So one day before our event, they drove up the road to check the engine and it immediately blew a plug out of the block, losing the oil again. Fortuantely, LTMotorwerks allowed them to use their workshop to wrench on the car, and J&S Engines next door provided a new plug.
By the time the team arrived at the dyno their nerves were frazzled since the motor had never been under load until then. There was drama when a boost hose blew off on the second run but it was quickly refitted. "We were just happy to see the car run," said Gabe Adams from BWP. "I'm happy just to see a number. It would have been nice to push the boost a bit more but we didn't want to risk anything."
Running conservative boost and revs, the 2.5L turbo produced a healthy 594whp at 6500rpm and 554 lb-ft at 5200rpm.
Unfortunately, this was to be the Rabbit's last appearance since it was smoking heavily as it came off the dyno and was later found to have jumped three teeth on the timing pulley when the tensioner failed, bending most of the valves. The team tried valiantly to rebuild the head at Eurocode's workshop but threw in the towel at 3am and headed home. This isn't the last we'll see of the Bluewater Rabbit and we commend their huge effort, which was rewarded with the best run in the AWD class.
As for Eurocode Tuning, they brought another B8 Audi S4 to show off the parts they'd developed for the supercharged 3.0L V6. It had the Eurocode intercooler, headers and prototype intake, plus a Milltek cat-back exhaust, smaller APR pulley and custom APR software.
The team was expecting to see around 460hp but the dyno showed 492whp at 6200rpm and 477 lb-ft at 3800rpm. However, they were pumping nitrous onto the intercooler, which is allowed, but the spray was certainly entering the intake, which isn't. So while they didn't break the letter of the law, they were sailing close to it. Fortunately, none of the competitors complained but it might explain why the output was slightly higher than expected.
Our final AWD entry was the 997 Porsche 911 Turbo from GSR Autosport. This was the car the more established competitors feared. As a eurotuner event, we previously didn't allow the 911 because it wasn't a vehicle the magazine covered. However, as a european car event, this is what it was all about. And the mere sight of the 911 had people quaking in their boots; it certainly attracted one of the largest crowds when it ran.
As it happens, they need not have worried so much since the modifications were relatively mild. The Porsche had Promotive software, IPD plenum and Y-pipe, evoms intercooler, BBi pulleys and coil packs, Euro Pipes exhaust with high-flow cats, a GT3 throttle body and Aquamist meth injection.
Expecting around 500hp, the 911 spun the Dynapack to 493whp at 5700rpm and 552 lb-ft at 4400rpm, which meant it was a long way off the most powerful cars in ECGP12, but its legendary ability to put that power to the ground was still a cause for concern.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- A Detroit musician's prized and classic Gibson guitar did not entirely survive a Delta flight from Buffalo to Detroit intact. Dave Schneider, the lead singer of the band the LeeVees says he always flies with the classic 1965 Gibson ES-335 as carry on luggage, to make sure it isn't abused in transit.
The guitar which was made in Kalamazoo at the Gibson plant on Parsons, is worth about $10,000.
When he got to the gate in Buffalo, they refused to let him take it on board, even when he offered to buy the guitar a seat of its own. He says the Delta staff insisted he check it in as baggage.
Schneider says that when it came to reclaim his luggage and the Guitar, it got jammed in the works. It took the delta staff nearly an hour to free it.
He says the Guitar suffered over 19-hundred dollars damage but the airline would only reimburse him $1000, so he plans to appeal his case to Delta C.E.O. Richard Anderson.

Terrell County's Tax Commissioner is in trouble for not following Georgia law.
She says she's just doing her job the same way she's done it for 40-years.
Terrell County Commissioners voted to report Peggy Pritchard to the Governor for holding on to tax revenue until the end of the year instead of handing it over to the county every two weeks as she's supposed to.
Peggy Pritchard says she and commissioners have always had the same friendly arrangement on distributing the tax money, until now.
74 year old Peggy Pritchard has been Terrrell County Tax Commissioner for 40 years. She was back at work today, not concerned about County Commissioners' vote to report her office to the Governor.
Pritchard said "I slept like a baby last night. It's not worrying me. If the Governor puts me out, he puts me out."
Terrell County's auditor pointed out that Pritchard held more than 212 thousand dollars for tax collections most of the year, instead of remitting it every month as Georgia law requires. Commissioners say they have had lots of complaints about Pritchard's office, and voted unanimously to report to the Governor.
Terrell County Commission Chairman Wilbur Gamble said "There is no fraud. There is no embezzlement. There is no shortage of money. I would say there needs to be improvements on how the money is being handled."
Pritchard said her office has received no complaints, and that is how Commissioners have handled business with her office for 4 decades.
Pritchard said "We have had a friendly agreement that that's where we paid the money out. And I paid the money out then. The money was in the bank drawing interest. And if they needed the money for something, they just call me and said bring me a check, and I'd carry them a check."
Gamble said because of the audit, commissioners are bound by law to report the issue to the Governor's office. Pritchard said the citizens of Terrell County are satisfied with her work, because they keep re-electing her.
You were voted in by the people. Are you worried the Governor might order you to step down? Pritchard said "No, sir. I'm not worried, because it's in God's hand. Me and the Lord walk like that."
Commissioner Gamble said it's nothing personal, but says they must report the issues with the Tax Commissioner office to the Governor, and leave the decision to him.
Pritchard was re-elected last year, and has three more years in her term. She told me Thursday that if Commissioners want to remit all the tax collections twice every month, she will do it.
Commission Chairman Gamble, who has been in office 33 years, told us he knows how Georgia government works and he doesn't expect any response or decision from the Governor anytime soon.

Too wide in the rear, very clumsy for me, the soft aluminum bottom grippers don't work in hard ice.
Bought these for two of my grandsons to get them started. Was concerned they might not fit a 6 & 8 year old but was surprised to find out there was plenty of adjustment. Took them out for a trial run the other day and all went well. Am hoping they last long enough to get them into the real thing. Bob
Not to happy. They dont have a weight rating. I am 230 and they dont do the job.
The straps on one snowshoe came loose from the fasteners the first time I wore these. I am sending them back. Looking for a different kind.
The bindings of the snow shoes ripped away from the "shoe" about 20 minutes after I put them on. I'm going to see If I can fix them before I return them.
