Ideas Of Tea Length Dresses
Tea length dresses are garments that are anywhere between the bottom of a woman's knee and the bottom of the calf. The dress should be about three or four centimeters above the ankle. Tea length dresses are in the middle of a cocktail dress length and full length dress. Gaining in popularity in recent years as most grown women figures, tea length dresses are often used in semi-formal or informal weddings.
If your dress is suitable for life, start the measurement in your life – just above the navel – and measure where you want the dress fall. It is expected that this measure, taken with a tape does not extend to reach anywhere below the knee a few centimeters above the ankle. The choice is up to you. As if that were not enough, also have a waist. Tea length dresses flowing freely and without life should be measured in a slightly different way.
12 Photos Gallery of: Ideas of Tea Length Dresses
Instead of measuring the waist, start the measurement of the bone in the hollow of the neck just below the throat and be at the point of the leg you want the dress fall. Take a measurement on the back too, starting at the neck. Tea length dresses strapless are very popular, but need an extra dose. The tape must be horizontal to the ground the entire circumference of the body.

Year 4 Mrs Doolan
Our Team:
Class Teacher: Mrs Doolan
Support Staff: Mrs Stuart , Mrs Longmore and Mrs Morris
In year 4 we believe that reading is exceptionally important to childrens' all round development. Therefore we expect children to read at home at least 5 times a week. Children who achieve this will receive the recognition they deserve with their regular reader star displayed on the window for all to see. Five to ten minutes a day is all that is needed to greatly increase your child's progress in all areas.
Children who do not read 5 times a week will attend a reading club on Thursday lunchtime to ensure they read with an adult.
Speed Tables
As some of you may be aware in year 4 we give children speed tables to complete 4 times a week. It has been proven again and again that being able to recall your times tables rapidly and accurately can help your children within all areas of the maths curriculum. We ask that you support them with this by ensuring they complete them and see the benefit of doing so.
P.E. happens twice a week on Monday and Thursday afternoons.
Please ensure your child has all their kit for both of these days and that every item is named and suitable for use.
Our topics for his year are Tudors, Water Water Water and Why Do People Invade?.
Please see our topic web for more details on this term's learning.
We have many great days lined up for the children to enjoy and get the most out of their learning.
Timetable for Year 4
If throughout the year there is something concerning your child that you wish to discuss, feel free to pop in before or after school.
Enjoy the year!

It's an ok air horn. Louder than stock but the quality of the sound is fair. I purchased the Wolo Bad Boy horn for a different truck & it was better. Ok for the price

Train horn maybe but sure the hell is not an Air Horn. Not as loud as I wanted but better than the crappy horn Toyota put on the truck. I wanted something so that when I came up on you & had to use the horn you would poop yourself. Now they will hear me & probably just flip me off.

Big bad max offers air horn sound in a compact design. I was considering getting PIAA 85110 but this horn has more of the train air horn sound I was looking for. Big bad max will definitely get the attention of others when you lay onto your horn. Installation was a cinch once I got the headlight out to expose the stock horn and its wiring on my 08 silverado. I wait for opportunities to use my horn now and it sounds 100x better than my puny factory horn. I highly recommend this product.

"Online Returns in the UK – 2017", report offers comprehensive insight and analysis of the online returns channel in the UK, the main trends and the hot issues, consumer returns motivations and preferred methods. Consumer data is based on our e-retail survey using a panel of nationally representative online shoppers.
GET SAMPLE REPORT @https://www.wiseguyreports.com/sample-request/1793525-online-returns-in-the-uk-2017
This report looks at the online returns channel in the UK from 2017 to 2022. Consumers are becoming increasingly accustomed to returning items bought online, resulting in significant growth of the channel over the next five years. Retailers must give the returns process as much attention as the shopping journey in order to boost customer satisfaction and help retain customers. In this report we look at what people return, the methods used and the size of the channel split by parcel size for each sector. We also look at the profile and penetration of online shoppers who return, and what drives them to return by sector.
The report covers the following topics –
– The hot issues
– What people return
– Who returns
– Why people return
– The online returns channel is set to rise by 34.6% to £5,438.1m by 2022. Growing consumer confidence in the returns process and a 35.0% growth in online spend over the same period will drive this growth. Retailers must prepare for the rising number of returns by investing into the entire operation. Retailers that are able to provide a returns process which is as seamless as the purchasing journey will benefit from improved customer retention.
– Penetration of online shoppers that have returned an item, has risen across all sectors other than in clothing & footwear, although clothing & footwear has by far the highest penetration at 32.7% – compared to the next highest sector food & grocery gifting at 19.7%.
– Overall, 37.3% of returns were made via post while 35.1% were brought back to a retailer's store. However, for five of the nine retail sectors, returns were most commonly completed via returning to store. The minimal use of channels such as lockers and drop off points like Collect+ and Doddle proves that consumer awareness of these options remains low. Retailers should further highlight the availability of the lesser used options to demonstrate the convenience of their returns proposition whilst alleviating some of the workload and resource involved in the returns process for stores.
Reasons to buy
– Utilise our five year forecasts to 2022 for the online returns channel, and sector penetration to help form an effective growth strategy.
– Review our analysis on hot issues and understand the factors driving the channel.
– Understand the returns penetration for each sector in 2017, and returns penetration of total online market.
– Understand the returns channel share of online retail and forecast growth compared to online spend, to help incorporate growing returns into financial forecasts.
– Recognise why consumers are returning products purchased online to enable a better understanding of the channel moving forward, and to help mitigate the future growth of returns.

AMC's The Walking Dead Season 3: Half the Season, Twice the Anticipation
The first part of Season 3 ends with a contingent of Rick's group rescuing Glenn and Maggie from certain death. Aside from their tragic leader, Oscar, Michonne and fan favorite Daryl make up this team of rescuers in what looks like a suicide mission. They are, mostly successful, save for yet another death to chalk up, due to Oscar being gunned down.
Deeper into the Fray
After she has lead Rick and company in Woodbury, Michonne is shown having an agenda of her own. She discovers the Governor's secret, in the form of his hideous zombified daughter whom she ends up de-animating once and for all. Enraged, the Governor very nearly kills her until she manages to stab him blind. Andrea then walks in on Michonne about to kill the show's enigmatic villain and suspends his demise.
While the outcome to the Michonne-Governor face off is to be expected, it still managed to induce some face palms from us. Andrea, seriously, are those decapitated zombie heads not ringing any warning bells? How about keeping his zombie daughter chained up in a secret chamber? Well, how about listening to Michonne, probably the only person who cares if you're alive?
During the escape sequence, Daryl offers to stay behind to leave cover fire for the group. While this does allow the worse for wear Glenn and Maggie to make it beyond the town walls, it also gives Daryl and opportunity to find his brother in all the chaos. Michonne reunites with the three and convinces Rick to keep her around despite her unannounced disappearance.
Cut to the end of the episode and the brothers are shown together. In an unfortunate twist of events, Daryl and Merle end up in Woodbury's walker arena, being taunted by the 70 or so residents. Well, save for Andrea, who is helplessly pleading with the Governor to let Darryl go.
The Inevitable Buildup
With this half season cliffhanger, you would think that the brothers have the short end of the stick, but there are a few things that indicate they may get out of this one just yet. On a promotional trailer for "The Suicide King", Darryl gets shown outside the zombie pit seemingly running away from hostiles. Merle, while lacking the few seconds of screen time his brother had, is indicated to be alive by Glenn and Michonne raising arms against whoever Rick was returning with. Given their utter hatred against the quick-tempered bruiser, it is fair to assume he is the newest addition to the prison community.
Meanwhile, Carl is turning out to be quite the unflinching soldier. He single-handedly assisted a group of survivors against walkers when they stumbled their way inside the prison. Rick Jr. then leads the new guys into the secure common room which houses supplies but has opted to lock them out of the living quarters.
Lead by Tyreese, this new set of survivors is shown to have their own moral dilemmas while handling their infected member, Donna. In the teaser, it seems that not everyone agrees with a diplomatic approach as Ben and Allen plot to take over Carl's side of the prison for weapons. Tyreese then dismisses the suggestion, saying that the other group is made up of good people. While it would be interesting to see this plot explored, it is probably just included to demonstrate the motives of Tyreese's group.
More than Meets the Eye
If this arc were to be explored otherwise, the confrontation would be more of a one-sided match. For one thing, the new group of survivors have barely licked their wounds, coming from outside the prison. They do not have the benefit of knowing the prison's layout and have a lack of access to the block's offensive supplies. Of course, aside from outward appearances, Carl and the remaining survivors are also more than capable of handling themselves. Add an element of surprise when Rick's group reunites with those that stayed behind and that is that.
On a more plot strategic look, the introduction of new people can only indicate yet another set of walker fodder. This was first demonstrated during the course of season 2 when Hershel's family was picked off, leaving behind a select few useful survivors. Tyreese is the most promising addition so far, though if the teaser is any indication, his hold on his lot of survivors is still in question. In a snippet, Carl mentions to Rick how he thinks his father should "stop being the leader" which may indicate Rick sharing some of the responsibility with someone like Tyreese.
If the teaser gave any clue, Carl's response may be related to his father storming out of the cell block. In this scene, Hershel unusually yells at Rick, saying "get back here". This may be due to the Sherriff's tragic, survivalist state. A confrontation provoked by the newest survivors may have left Rick with no choice but to view the new group as a threat to be eliminated.
Prison Under Siege
Lastly, and undoubtedly the most obvious component of the latter half of Season 3, is the Governor's inevitable assault on the prison group. In which case, Andrea will most likely play a key role, trying, but futilely suggesting some sort of a compromise. Eventually she may just hold the key to how a small group like Rick can overcome the most terrifying hoard of all. People with no humanity left.
Overall, this season is the most thrilling and politically-inclined one yet, exploring the dark recesses of a twisted town of sheltered survivors and showing a different side to each survivor. Packed with plenty of guns, decapitations and close calls, Season 3 manages to give fans a tense yet satirical look upon the walker invasion. AMC's The Walking Dead resumes airing on February 10th.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by Chanser, Jan 6, 2011.
Trailer for the game
The main character looks weird and unappealing.
i feel the gameplay would be weird as mark said though seems fun... worth playing for a few days besides there are 100 puzzles (approx)
I like it more than a logic machine
Huh, two "Incredible Machine" clones released at once? This can either be really good, or really bad.
For those not in the know, "The Incredible Machine" was an old MS-DOS game where you set up Rube Golberg (chain reaction) machines. It's quite addictive and fun.
well technically its more of a sequel to a TIM clone that was already out for a couple of years, that happened to come out near another one
Hopefully this has better controls... I remember the first one had sucky ones
Doesnt work on my Cyclo..

In response to HHS to Delay 2014 Obamacare Signups Until After 2014 Midterms:
During the shutdown fight in September and October, President Barack Obama refused any and all proposals to delay the individual mandate. He would not interfere with "settled law," we were told. A delay could cause the whole policy to fall apart, experts explained. Never mind that he had delayed, by fiat, the employer mandate by a year–unconstitutionally, since it was a deadline written into the law he had signed.
Now, suddenly, the Obama administration is about to delay another deadline–but only by one month, from October, 15 2014 to November 15, 2014, punting the deadline for second-year enrollments beyond Election Day. Last week, he proposed another (illegal) delay, one that would "allow" health insurance companies to keep canceled individual policies active for another year. An impossible task, but politically convenient.
To sum up: when a deadline hurts ordinary Americans, who must either buy insurance through a broken system or else pay a fine to the IRS, Obama says a delay is impossible. But when that deadline might hurt Obama's political image or his party's political prospects, out it goes. This is worse than the sort of arbitrary rule-making that F. A. Hayek warned was the consequence of central planning. It is political corruption.


text: You are here: Home Ophthalmology Ocular Oncology Ocular Oncology Page Content What Is Ocular Oncology?Ocular oncology is the branch of ophthalmology that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of tumors on the surface of the eye and inside of the eye. Healthcare professionals at the UW Medicine Eye Institute specialize in treating a variety of eye lesions and tumors in adults and children, including:Conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma Conjunctival nevi (moles) Primary acquired melanosis (PAM) of the conjunctiva Conjunctival melanoma Conjunctival lymphoma Iris nevi and iris melanoma Ciliary body lesions and melanoma Choroidal nevi and their complications Choroidal melanoma Chroidal metastases Choroidal hemangiomas Retinal capillary hemangiomas Retinal vasoproliferative tumors Retinoblastoma Lymphoma of the retina, vitrous and choroid Eye Cancer SymptomsEye cancer can affect any structure in the eye and can be difficult to diagnose. Some tumors can be diagnosed during a clinical exam, while others require sophisticated imaging or even biopsies for proper diagnosis. Common symptoms of an eye tumor include:Blurry visionEye sorenessSudden vision lossSeeing flashes of light, shadows or floatersNew pigmentation on the white of the eyeChanges in pupil size or shapeTreatment OptionsFortunately, there are many options for treating eye cancer once it is detected. Depending on when and where an ocular tumor is found, treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, laser therapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy. At the Eye Institute, we recognize that a diagnosis of cancer can be a life-changing experience and can affect patients both physically and emotionally. That's why, once a patient is diagnosed with eye cancer, they become part of the treatment team. After thoroughly reviewing your case and your options, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is best for you as an individual. In addition, treating an eye tumor often requires a large team from many medical specialties outside of ophthalmology. To this end, we have built strong collaborations within our world-class hospital including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and interventional radiologists who are all specifically interested in treating eye tumors. We will stay in touch long after your treatment to help you maintain the best eye health possible. Meet Your DoctorDr. Andrew W. Stacey is an ophthalmologist who specializes in ocular oncology. He sees adult and child patients with conjunctival tumors (papilloma, intraepithelial neoplasia, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma), adult intraocular tumors (iris melanoma, ciliary body melanoma, choroidal melanoma, intraocular metastasis, intraocular lymphoma, retinal angiomas, choroidal hemangiomas, vasoproliferative tumors of the retina) and pediatric intraocular tumors and vascular abnormalities (retinoblastoma, medulloepithelioma, Coats' disease).

You found a house that seems perfect and you really love it. The chemistry is there, and the price is right. If you are like many buyers, you start off by asking the real estate agent if the sellers will take less than they are asking.
A real estate agent doesn't know what the sellers' bottom price is. The sellers often don't know themselves until they get an offer. In many cases, the price is negotiable, but the only way to test it is to make the sellers a written offer to accept or counter.
As professional real estate agents we will guide you through the entire process, from viewing homes and financing, to making sure the final contract is in your best interest.
Please observe the following guide lines when you make an offer:
Prepare. You should know as much as possible about the property you are buying! We will discuss the features of the neighbourhood and condition of the selected home by comparing it to other homes we have viewed. We will also, research the selling price of other similar homes that have recently sold in the same general area.
Probe. Ask us questions. We're here to help. Purchase contracts are full of complicated terms and clauses that can be very confusing. Challenge the ideas that are presented to you. If you are uncertain about or disagree with price, a term or conditions, speak your mind. Of course, be sure to do so diplomatically.
Propose. Make an offer. As professional real estate agents we will guide you through the process of writing an offer to making sure the final contract is in your best interest. We will make you fully aware of any and all terms, conditions and inspections to fully protect you.
Your offer will only be as good as your preparation and probing. When you make an offer make it strong, solid, and reasonable. Remember a proposal is a starting point. A good offer should be smart, revealing, but never final. Don't forget, there is the other side. Give them something to think about – not a take-it or leave-it proposition. A good offer should evoke a response – a conversation of needs and wants and priorities. Plan to make concessions – what you are willing to concede. If you know this in advance it won't be a loss it will be part of your plan.
Be diplomatic. Negotiating with sellers can be stressful and it can be very easy to get irritated. We will help you negotiate, so that the final contract includes your best possible terms and conditions. Getting frustrated with negotiations that seem to be going nowhere will only perpetuate any difficulties you may be having, and may even result in an end to all talks. Keep your cool.
Be confident. Have confidence when signing documents. If there is something you are uncertain about just ask us – we want you to know what you are agreeing to. Knowledge is power! When you know and understand what is in the purchase contract you will be able to respond to it.
Don't accept nothing for something. Whenever you agree to give something, be sure to get something in exchange. For example, if you are the buyer and you agree to a price increase, you may want to include additional goods that you may not have initially included in the offer to purchase.
Time is on your side. It's most likely that you and the other party are eager and pressured to resolve the transaction. Acting calm and under control, in addition to taking time to think rationally, will help you in the long run. In short, just think before you act!

There are five people on a track, and they are about to be run over by a runaway trolley! However, you are next to a switch which, if you pull, will divert the trolley onto a different track, hitting the one person who is on that track, instead.
We are assuming that the only way to save the five people is to pull the lever- you can't yell at them to move off the track, for instance. We're also assuming that the trolley is absolutely guaranteed to hit and kill whoever is in its path.
As proposition, I will argue that yes, you should pull the lever, killing one person rather than five. My opponent, therefore, will have to argue that you should not pull the lever.
Furthermore, consider this case. Imagine yourself a doctor who has five patients. Each needing a valuable organ transplant; a heart, a kidney" etc. each will die if there is not a donor soon. In the next room over you have a perfectly healthy 18 year old who happens to be the perfect donor for all five other patients. To apply the principle that it is better to kill one to save five would justify killing this 18 year old and harvest his organs for the five.
Hopefully by this point it should be clear that the principle in question is immoral. This is because it is a violation of the harm principle. Essentially, the harm principle is summed up in this way; The right to swing your fist stops at the point in which it hits my nose. The point here is that we are free to take actions so long as they do not harm others. In the case of the trolley problem, you are free to do whatever you can to save those in harms way, but not at the expense of harming someone else. Who are we to decide that the one should die or that others should live?
There is something fundamentally different about each of the cases my opponent proposes and the one I did, and I will attempt to illustrate this as follows:
Imagine instead of having to switch the points, the points have not been observed, and are therefore in a state of quantum superposition- they simultaneously send the trolley down both tracks, and down neither. Quantum physics is weird. When we observe the points, we would hope that the state it collapses into is one where the trolley is directed towards killing the fewest people. The only difference between such a situation and the one I propose in the motion is the positive act of flipping the switch, against the neutral act of merely observing which state the points are in. Humans seem to have an innate tendency to consider positive actions, such as flipping a switch, to be more harmful than neutral ones, such as observing the points, or negative ones, such as not flipping the switch. This is illogical- if the "right" case is for the switch to be in a particular configuration, how we get to it should be irrelevant to what this configuration itself is, regardless of whether we have to switch the points or not, provided the result is identical.
Harm principle does not state that one may not cause harm, but rather that one should minimise the harm dealt to all sentient parties. That is to say, that one should flip the switch, killing one person, as this harms fewer people than not flipping the switch and killing five.
The situations my opponent proposes are indeed different enough from the situation that I proposed as to make the moral action to do nothing and to allow five to die- in the case of the fat person, in pushing him, we create a world in which it is acceptable to push fat people off bridges if we see this as a moral thing to do. In such a world, the millions of fat people who exist around the world would be terrified of going outside as they are viewed as disposable, and therefore we have done more harm to more people than we would have prevented in saving the lives of five people.
Likewise, in the case of the doctor, in killing the patient to harvest his organs, we create a world in which patients do not feel safe going to the doctor in case they are killed for their organs. and therefore we have done more harm to more people- who may even die as a result of not going to the doctor- than we have prevented in saving the lives of five people.
It is worth noting that in a vacuum in which the results of our decisions have absolutely no affect beyond the scenario we are confronted with, pushing the fat man or killing one patient both become the moral thing to do, as we have prevented more harm than we have caused. However, we do not exist in such a vacuum and hence it is not moral to do these things.
The trolley problem as I originally presented it is different to the other situations my opponent proposed as it does not have an equivalent harmful, knock-on effect to society as a whole which would tip the balance and make it immoral to act in the way required to save five people. Therefore, I urge the reader to hold the position I initially proposed, which is that it is, in fact, moral to flip the switch in the previously outlined scenario.

THey lie, and clearly couldn't care less. Or else they would have tested and warned about the new page. They are probably kicking back and laughing "ba hahaha, only 560 complaints out of 500,000 users"
I agree fully. Companies always assume that more bells and whistles equals more quality. It doesn't. Look at the Drudge Report, a really nice, simple layout which they don't tinker with endlessly, and they get close to a Billion hits per MONTH. I'm a big believer in the KISS rule.
Another problem with adding bells and whistles is that it often reduces the response time of a Web page. Not good.
There is a clear need for morre filters for the TV listings. And another thing, I have not yet found the new button, if it still exists, to oreder my cable box to record a program. They can't have been crazy enough to delete that option.
Also missing: Sort channels by name or channel number anad sort by ascending or decending.
Agree 100% with the posts regarding the new TV layout. This format is NOT ADA compliant and is a barrier to accessibility.
the question was asked of you but you did not answer you side steped it by asking to ask for help when they already did
nothing about this change was an improvement. I can not find a filter for newly or previously added by day ..... plus filters are not remembered from session to session .... this is not ready for primetime..... does comcast use focus groups? Dont understand how these issues were not surfaced before release.
Just the fact that they are still rolling out apps using flash should be a red flag. Really? Please comcast, let me download flash so i can catch every virus known as well as compromise my computer. Don't do it folks. Wonder if we have recourse if we get breached due to having to download flash?
Agreed. Formerly I could scan the listing, select a channel and have my TV show the TV show. That seems to be gone. Now the show appears - slowly, at low resolution - on my Laptop. If I wanted HULU, I would get it.
To use the guide I must be logged into my account. This ties the guide to my home network. When I travel to our lake house where I do not have a local account, I cannot get the local listings anymore. With the old guide I could easily change geographic locations. Worse then useless.

Call customer Service and all they do is apologize for the Inconvenience and transfer me to 15 different people that all apologize for the experience and SOLVE NOTHING! The Billing Practices and the deceptions are on the verge of Illegal and they only care about getting more and more Money. The apps to pay are all top priority and the Services to Customers are low to "0" Priority. Every week it seems they change stuff around that makes it harder to enjoy and I am Done...Also the Political Correct Bull that they institute is Childish at best
Not only is it not an improvement, it's a disaster.
Yea, no longer the option for favorites, and you have to go through 900 plus channels ...who has that kind of time? by the time you find what you want, it's OVER !!!
What happened to the TV Guide? You have live TV. I want to know what is on tomorrow and I only want to look at my favorites. Let me know where to find it? I also need to get rid of the black background, I can hardly read it.

Just use Zap2It if you just want TV listings. You can set favorites for your area. Better than Comcast's new site except it won't change the channel on your cable box.
Be very careful on Zap2It. Even clicking on a regular program title can have you ending up with something on your computer that you don't want. I used to use Zap2It, but got away from it for that reason.

I agree with all of above. New page is terrible. All functionality gone. 2 hr window, loss of "favorites", loss of "new" designation, can't program dvr online. The previous tv listings page was very useful. New page is very disappointing.
What a mess!
Yet another winner move by Crumcast. You folks need to begin thinking about your custormers more seriously. What you just rolled out is pure garbage. I am seeing channels that are not even in my plan. Why? Is it that hard to match folks with their accounts? It should at least be the same as what one sees on the TV, which is not that great, but at least it is the channels in MY account. FIOS is looking better with each 'improvement' Cruncast makes.
@HowAboutThisOne Thanks for the link. Zap2it is better than comcast's new site and it did allow me to see a movie I wanted to watch by just glancing at their page with movies hig lighted but it is far from a replacement for comcast's old page but it did help. Just maybe comcast will put the old page back...okay just wishful thinking.
Why am I only getting Xfinity For YOu guide now instead of the regular guide we've been using for the past year or so?
http://www.zap2it.com Once you take the time to set it up for your viewing area, it's great. It's just a TV GUIDE ..
No bells and whistles as comcast advertises {the biggest joke of the year}, but comcast falls very, very short of delivering what they shill..
And to make matters worse, my link to the guide takes me to a never ending sign in loop every time I click on Sign in.
This is the first
This is the second:
This is the third:
This is the worst piece of garbage that comcast's teams have foisted on their unsuspecting paying customers, under the guise of PROGRESS & INNOVATION.
If they spent less $$ on PR and more on actual READ,LISTEN & DO, they might, just might get a workable online guide.
ciao, bj
Amazing how these dunderheads stay in business with the poor services and poor design choices. Oh that's right, they're a monopoly.
Whose brilliant idea was it to change the listing page? After being forced to install Flash Player in order to access the new, improved and user/customer friendly webpage I discovered the what is the horror of the new listing page.
I hope whoever designed and coded this hot mess wasn't paid because he/she/it failed at their job. What a horrible hot mess. One hour later and I am still unable to find what is being air on the channels that I pay for in the area that my cable it. Yesterday I logged on and entered my zip code, picked my plan and as always my listing appeared. Today I'm not really sure what the listing is because I can't find my stations anywhere. There is no logic to the new layout and as is often said if its not broken don't fix or change it. In all the years I've had my plan and I access the listing daily I have never had a issue but this is enough to make me say good by Comcast.
As of September 26th, 2016 I have lost the previous xfinity layout which showed my Monday, Tuesday, etc., shows that were on TV and now I can no longer see them. All the layout shows are recently watched and popular TV and movies. I am really not happy with this, the whole reason I use on demand through my computer are for those easily accessible layouts. Now I have to look on my phone to remember what nights my shows are on and then do a general search of the new layout. Very time consuming and I am not happy with that.
How to delete channels in "For You" I did not place in folder Telemundo etc. It must have occurred when talking to CSR who could not answer questions on "terrible" new TV listings format that replaced easy to access but now gone format.
Thank you,
Stephen L
Is there anyway to change channels anymore? I get the annoying website that only lets me view tv on my laptop. This is not what I'm needing. I'm needing a place where I can see MY channels and have the ability to change channels on my laptop like I did as recently as this morning.
Cannot find how to program a show on next Monday!
I TOTALLY agree. For a while now comcast has been trying to push this new format on us. I tried it once and hated it. Now we are FORCED to use it. That dang intro "now connecting to your entertainment experience" is lame and slow. Also the new listings format is confusing and unfamiliar. Give us back the old format.
On the new system, which is an absolute abomination, I am not able to move through the show (FF, REW, Skip ahead, etc). I missed a sequence and wanted to go back and watch and there is no way to do that. You cannot change it. I tried it on three different browsers.
When I go to the TV Guide link I've been going to for 2 years - https://tv.xfinity.com/listings , all I see is this and it never changes.
The dots just keep scrolling endlessly.
This just started today.
I don't know why it posts the screenshot twice.
Hate the new website. I called and made a complaint. Bring back the old site.
The iPhone app for TV listings was also updated, and I had to re-enter my Favorite's list. Also, the iPhone app doesn't let you filter Kids, Sports or Movies.
The website now uses Adobe Flash! Adobe Flash! Who uses that security prone plugin? I can't view this new website on Safari, because Safari won't load Adobe Flash for security reasons.
I used Firefox to view the site, and I can't find my Favorites or know what number the stations. What mess.
Comcast/Xfinity: Go back to old site. It worked and offered more information than the new one.

I only have purchases in that section as well. I really want my watchlist back. The new page really gives me a headache.
I have done the feedback 3 times pointing out each way the new page fails me. I went to thecomcast complaint page that required me to login to comcast and gave my complaint there. I called and complainted and asked for help. No reall fix offered. I'm now having to fip from the guild on the TV and the new stream/listing page to try and still use my service. It sure is a time waster. I wonder how many users even know what has been lost. Not every user even knows how many features the old page had. You never know how much you have till it's gone.
This is all I see whn I go to https://tv.xfinity.com/listings , starting today.
New TV listings format is horrible......What a hassle
Why must I login now to access tv guide & I can not filter the guide for just sports listing anymore?
What a horrible experience this is. Not only is the new format awful, it is useless because it lists all the wrong stations and listings for my area. I have spend 2:15 on chat, phone and forums trying to find a way to change a zip code or find out how to get listings for my area. They transferred me 5 times to every dept. and no one...and I mean no one...know what I'm talking about. They wrote a ticket up. I got an English speaker (in the wrong dept.) and he just laughed and told me the ticket pretty much just said "caller doesn't know what the problem is." He pulled up his own website and laughed because his TV lineup is wrong, too. Whoever rolled this product out should be fired...but Comcast clearly doesn't care.
All I want to do is see what is on TV tonight. I'm "old" (over 50) and don't like using the on screen Guide. I just want to pull up a stupid TV guide listing like I've done for years. Is that too much to ask?
I would vote for ANY candidate who vows to make out-sourcing illegal!!!
Please .......Please give me an option to change the color of the TV Guide. It is very hard to adjust to white on black. Even this page is black on white. If there is a way to do this currently, I wish someone would post.
Comcast actions lead one to think they are following Facebook's lead- BUT Comcast is not FREE. This is the first time I've registered and will likely be my last post as I was already on the verge of switching providers and this change has been the last straw. Comcast has always had poor customer service. They act like they are the only choice out there. Heads up- we are fed up, and we are dropping the service. Good luck to anyone who stays with Comcast- get plenty of meds for high blood pressure, anxiety, headaches, and ulcers!
For those of us who have vacation homes, the site is worthless. I have to login to the site with my comcast ID. This locks me into my home TV line-up. The vacation home listings are different and there is no longer any way to change listings by ZIP code. This would be fine if the channel line-up were the same everywhere, but they aren't. And no I can't use a seperate logins. There are to many family members for each of us to have an ID.
Comcast has NEVER cared about their customers. They have been trying for years to have poorer service than the IRS and THEY WIN!! Luckily, I have never had a contract with Comcast. So my service will be terminated tomorrow- we have OPTIONS and Comcast better start recognizing that fact.
How do I record a show off the tv guide?

Login is probably due to the new listings page is designed for remote streaming to a device. To filter for just sports: click on live tv then sports. It then gives you the strangest view sorted by time rather than channel. You will find many things have changed in the new page with A LOT of features from the old page missing.
It's not terrible - it's carp! Can't filter sports/movies/kids that I can find. Does't even list all my channels. Can't find last night's programming that I would like to watch. Useless spread on all the listings coming up. Can't change my area code for proper channel selections and on and on and on and on. Some dimwit coporate incompetency is suspected. After all, them bright bosses gotta be seen to be doing nothing but fumming up something.
the only thing you can change is the font, type "control -" (minus). I liked the different colors for sports, movies, kids. The white on black stinks!

What happened to "My Channels" and "My Favorites"?
I don't want to wade through 500 channels to find just the channels I am paying for. And I would like to avoid even having to wade through all the channels I am paying for just to view the listings of the channels I actually watch.
So far I can't locate those filters on your new and "improved" TV listings page.
There are now a ton of threads on this forum about the absolutely awful TV guide, which is a disgrace and a mess. I wouldn't count on Comcast doing anything sensible -- like paying attention to the customers' complaints and bringing back the more useable guide -- but they certainly can't say they haven't been told. We're not happy. Get it, Comcast?

BlueJay - you're a funny person!!
I guess that Xfinity tested this new website with - what? 3rd graders? Surely, though; even they would have lost interest in under 2 minutes.
If you really want to help (not that you do, or that you could), have XF put the old site back until they spend 2 or 3 years getting the new site ready for Beta testing.
I finally got it to work. I had to enable Flash. What a joke it is now. The new channel guide is most certainly a few steps back.
Why would Comcast opt to use Flash, with all it's security issues?

Last term Mrs Ritchie came in to show us how to make animations on Explain Everything. Here are some animations by Piata, Marco, Jake, Mollie and Kristy that they made to go with their narrative writing.
Today Mrs Ritchie came back to help us. We are working on animations to show what to do in an earthquake. When we are finished we will post them here. We are getting better at grouping objects!

Early season success of the Braves top pitching prospects have given confidence to the potential of the future starting rotation. With so many arms in the Braves system, a lot of excitement is stirring around these top arms.
2016 First Rounder Ian Anderson: 1.98 ERA in 3GS with 8BB/23K over 13.2 IP.
2015 First Rounder Kolby Allard: 1.69 ERA in 3GS with 4BB/9K over 16 IP.
2015 Draft Class Mike Soroka: 1.62 ERA in 3GS with 1BB/18K over 16.2 IP.
2015 Draft Class Patrick Weigel: 1.84 ERA in 3GS with 4BB/18K over 14.2 IP.
2012 First Rounder Lucas Sims: 2.70 ERA in 3GS with 5BB/18K in 16.2IP.
Luiz Gohara acquired by trade in offseason: 1.93 ERA in 3GS with 3BB/14K over 13 IP.
Small sample sizes like this do not mean much in hindsight, but it gives a glimpse of the potential each of these pitchers has. The Braves are hoping these prospects can develop quickly and carry their early season success throughout the season.
Max Fried is the biggest name in the system to keep an eye on this season. A tall lefty with a power fastball and a dominant curveball shows he has all the tangibles to be a dominant starter in the league. This will be his first season in Double A Mississippi and second full season since returning from Tommy John surgery. A lot of pressure will be put on his development this season and depending on his performance, could possibly see time in Atlanta at some point. The Braves are being aggressive and have no plans to hold back any prospect and continue to challenge each player and push them through the system. A lot of eyes will be on Fried's next start to see how he bounces back from a rough outing last time out by giving up 6 ER in 3 IP. With this being his first few starts in Double A, he has time to adjust to the talent level and continue on with his progression.
Matt Wisler is also throwing well for Gwinnett holding a 3.50 ERA in 18 IP. With only 2 starters under contract for the Braves in 2018, they are hoping he and Blair which holds a 5.79 ERA in 3 GS can develop properly and be in the rotation in 2018. Blair was just called back up to Atlanta to fill the long relief role while Collmenter gets a few days off after tossing 3 innings in relief against Washington. Blair and Wisler have a lot to prove this season before being considered for a rotation spot again. With the amount of arms in the system, there will be a lot of competition this season for players to prove they deserve a shot in Atlanta.

Daesungtoys' 'Dino Truck series' has everything that boys love dinosaurs and construction trucks such as a bulldozer, an excavator, and a grinder in a toy.
As the 'Dino Truck series'features the shapes and functions of construction vehicles and characteristics of dinosaurs, they will satisfy the interests of children with dynamic fun of enjoying the cars and dinosaurs at the same time.
Each toy has a different function of a construction truck such as leveling land with a bulldozer and earth mover, and the toys have dinosaur bodies the dinosaur mouth, head and tail are designed to move. When a kid move or back the car up in the sand, it leaves the footprints of a dinosaur. Children can enjoy playing it both indoor and outdoor.
Four different models are available for kids aged over three.

From El Paso, Texas, USA:
What vitamins are okay for someone with type 1 diabetes to take?
Any vitamins that you'd like to take. There is not much good long term information about vitamin needs for those with diabetes. Some studies would suggest adding anti-oxidants and so a multiple vitamin/multimineral pill such as Theragram M, Centrum or their generic equivalents would be reasonable -- once or twice a day. This would give some extra vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, for instance. Nobody knows what is an ideal requirement. Some recommendations for a low dose of 81 mg/day or so of buffered aspirin are also reasonable also as an anti-inflammatory effect.
You should discus this with your dietitian and your diabetes team since they can give you specific recommendations based upon your own health history and risk analysis and also some knowledge of your family/genetic risks. The more cardiovascular problems that exist in your family, the more you may want to consider other options for decreasing along term diabetes related cardiovascular risks. Best risk reducer, of course, is improving glucose control and getting hemoglobin A1c as close to normal as possible while still avoiding severe and recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia.

Dr Timothy Craig
1851 Research Fellow
Telephone number:
+44(0) 113 34
Email address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Room: 8.151
Affiliation: Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics
I obtained my PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2013, on the topic of Constraining Lithosphere Rheology using Earthquake Seismology. This work focused on the separate projects: the seismicity and lithospheric structure of Africa (particularly along the East African Rift System), rare deep earthquakes beneath the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau and their relationship to the thermal evolution of India as it underthrusts Tibet, and the seismicity and deformation associated with the flexure of oceanic plates just prior to subduction, in outer rises.
Following this, I spent two years working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Laboratoire de Geologie at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris on a number of topics related to continental deformation. These years were funded by a fellowship from ENS (Year 1) and through the French Investment Program SINAPS project (Year 2), supported by the Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique and the Institute de Radioprotection et Sûreté Nucléaire. My time in Paris was spent investigating the cases of rare intraplate earthquakes in North America and Europe, the factors controlling their distribution in space and time, how these earthquakes relate to the concept of a 'seismic cycle' in plate interiors, and how they may reflect the interplay between tectonic and Earth-surface processes.
I am now working as an Independent Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, funded by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, within the Institute of Geophysics and Tectonics. My work focuses on multidisciplinary studies of earthquakes and tectonics, principally in intraplate settings. Currently, my work ranges from investigating the seismicity associated with deformation in shallow subducting slabs, to the interaction between tectonic and non-tectonic processes, and how this may impact on seismicity.

What are the Different Types of Web Hosting Options and Which One to Select?
If you are planning to launch a website then it will be necessary to select a %LINK!% package that will be appropriate for your needs. But due to the availability of different options, it can become difficult to judge which one will be right for you. This is the topic we will be exploring in the following sections and check various hosting options you can select from.
Types of Web Hosting
- Shared Hosting
- Cloud-Based Hosting
- Dedicated Hosting
- Virtual Private Server Hosting
- Managed WordPress Hosting
Shared Hosting
Here server space is shared by multiple websites and this type of web hosting is cheaper in comparison to other available options. On the negative side, if there are large sites hosted on the same server as yours then the performance of a website can be affected since most of the bandwidth will be used by those large sites, making your site slow to load. If you have a new website and not expecting a lot of traffic initially then this option will be right for you.
Cloud-Based Hosting
In cloud-based hosting multiple servers together form one large server. The benefit for you is that in case your requirements increase then this type of web hosting can easily accommodate those needs. Here the pricing is also flexible with payment only necessary for bandwidth being used.
Dedicated Hosting
As the name suggests, here server space is used by your site only and nobody else. Thus, you have complete control over resources available on the server. In addition to it, you also do not have to worry about other websites slowing down your site. In case, you get a lot of traffic to your site then this is the right option to select despite the additional cost you have to bear for this type of hosting plan.
Virtual Private Server Hosting
In this type of hosting there is a single server but it works like several separate servers working together. This is an option to look into which is less costly in comparison to a dedicated hosting plan and you get to use dedicated computing resources. Such dedicated resources are not available in a shared web hosting plan and as such, it is an option to contemplate. However, you need to be aware of the fact that you would be sharing hardware resources with other sites and only computing resources will be provided on a dedicated basis.
Managed WordPress Hosting
Due to the ever-increasing popularity of WordPress, many hosting providers have started providing this type of hosting where hosting company manages your WordPress installation as well as keeps it up to date. It is costly in comparison to shared hosting but can be used by both new and established websites.
A Final Note
As we can see, there are several options to choose from when it comes to hosting your site and you will have to analyze visitor traffic you are expecting on your site as well as your requirements before selecting any particular type of hosting option.

hi, i just purchased your pro app bsecuae i really liked it, i just recently started to use it and i would really love that just like you did with the thumbnails saving, you could add a button to save a snapshot of the page from each day, i know i can do this by pressing home and power button but it would show the bars, it would be nice to have just the photo the day and the captions. Thanks for creating this great app, im expecting an update soon!
Hey, you're the goto expert. Thanks for hanging out here.

With lifestyles and professional demands continually evolving, owning or living in a home as a long-term proposition is becoming less of a priority for many. This may seem to make owning or planning for a dream garden difficult and, for renters, not a wise investment.For those of you with a small outdoor space to plan for, there are many great design ideas and products that can allow you to design and create your own private dream garden that can move with you if required. That includes feature plants and pots, water features, screens, furniture and even garden walls. In fact, smaller courtyard spaces can be almost fully transportable apart from the floor surface and some larger, established trees.
Obviously, if you have a large space, then creating a portable garden will be difficult, and there are certainly many things you simply can't do. The first thing I'd recommend is to create a small room or courtyard within the larger garden and focus your investments there. That way you'll have a portable garden within a garden that can be moved if need be.Another thing to consider before we get started is that if you have a garden feature that you really love and are thinking of selling your property, make sure you specify taking it with you in your contract of sale and make it clear to all prospective buyers to ensure there are no arguments. Otherwise you could end up having to leave your prized garden feature behind.
So what garden pieces could you plan to take with you?
Feature plants and pots. Many plants can be potted, which makes them instantly portable. The pot itself is something you really need to choose wisely. First and foremost, it needs to be big enough for the selected plant in a long-term scenario and have a good watering system. Second, it needs to fit through an opening to the space. Finally, but most important, it needs to look good.The number and arrangement of the pots is another way to add your own design flair — whether you use three of the same pots in a row or a cluster of different-sized pots.
On the practical side, you will need to consider a few things: First, always buy premium potting mix, as your plant will perform significantly better. Second, always create drainage in the pot with some gravel in the base — install an irrigation or dripper system to ensure that the plants are watered regularly, as they can easily dry out. And finally, remember to keep feeding your plant with a slow-release fertilizer as recommended by your local nursery.No matter which way you go, adding a living green sculptural element will help enhance your movable garden.
Feature plants in the ground. If your space has a particular spot where a pot is not suitable, or you prefer your feature plant to be in the ground, then you can plant your addition in the ground right in its pot. I recommend buying a larger plastic pot and using a good potting mix. Then dig a hole, making sure it is twice the size of the pot and a third deeper, then backfill the hole to the correct depth with loose screenings for drainage and insert your pot to its height. Backfill the remaining space with screenings and top-dress with mulch. This will ensure that the plant does not get wet feet, and although the roots will search for soil and water through the bottom of the pot, they should not grow too deep and be too hard to move.When it comes time to move, you may have to trim some of the roots, and if you do, you will then need to trim the canopy of the plant by about one third. You should also keep the roots moist with a piece of burlap or some water crystals. Also remember to feed the plant with liquid seaweed or a similar fertilizer to minimize the transplant shock. There is definitely some risk with this process, and each plant variety will react differently, so please see your local nursery for plant-specific transplanting tips.
Water features. The market is simply flooded with great transportable water features. From water walls to urns to pieces of water artwork, a lot of water features are designed to be movable.Some can simply sit on a deck or paving, as long as it is level. Others you can build into a deck or dig into the ground, and you may choose to take the feature with you and leave the mechanics and base pond behind.
Water walls are a great way to create a backdrop, and the sound of the water is soft, subtle and calming. I'd avoid loud, noisy water spouts in small spaces, as they can become a little overpowering and annoying.
The simplicity of a classical urn with water slowly spilling over into a bed of pebbles is another fantastic idea. It can sit in the corner, in the middle or at the focal-point axis. The variety of pots available means you can complement home styles ranging from traditional to contemporary. Garden artists are on the rise and are creating custom pieces of garden art where water is the focus. You can really put your personality into the garden by selecting an artistic, one-of-a-kind sculptural piece of water art.
Hanging baskets. Whether it hangs from a tree, a pergola or an outdoor structure, living green architecture, along with a splash of seasonal color, is a great way to add your personal touch — with the added benefit of its not being permanent.Plants such as Sedum morganianum 'Burrito', Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls' and pathos ferns really make a statement and look good all year round. Irrigation is critical, as is the strength of the mounting point, as you need to consider the long-term weight of the plant and pot.
Furniture. To truly enjoy a garden space, you need to be able to spend time in it relaxing, entertaining and just generally living in it. Good-quality outdoor furniture can be an integral part of the big picture. It is also a great way to add your personal touch with pops of color, a splash of stylish decor or a chair or other piece that is an architectural feature.So if you are renting, are not permanently settled or are temporarily away for work on a long-term basis and you love gardens, plenty of tools and design ideas can help you take your garden with you when you move. Get creative, have some fun and think mobile.

I have run Hsinchu Marathon in 4 hours, 2 minutes and 46 seconds and I am very very happy. That's not only because this result improves by over an hour on my previous result, I am also glad that I managed to finish it because it was a real challenge.
A few days before the marathon it was very hot, so overheating was the primary concern. But on Saturday the wind got much stronger and rain began. Honestly, I was afraid that the marathon would get cancelled because of this. Fortunately, when I woke up on Sunday morning at 4 AM, there was no rain, only very strong wind.
In fact, it was the first time I had to face inclement weather on the run day. Previously, the sky was always clear and there was not even a smallest chance of rain. This time I was expecting the rain to start every single minute. But we were lucky – the rain began only after we finished the marathon and continued for more than 24 hours. Later I found out that some typhoon was passing near Taiwan shore and we have only been touched by it. However, even this touch of typhoon was enough to generate record wind speeds – the organizers of the marathon claimed that wind speed was the biggest during this year – well over 40 km/h.
Running is nice when there is no challenge. But when the weather becomes worse runners have to jump through the hoops in order to survive. The other option is of course to stop – but for many people this is not an option. You have to go forward no matter what.
Many thousands of people participated in this marathon. Together with Paul we arrived 15 minutes before the start and barely had time to park the scooter and do warm-up exercises. It is funny that I could not find drinking water near the start line, but there were lots of toilets! On the other hand, there were lots of water stations along the way (good job organizers!) but only 1 toilet at each water station. Sometimes, long queues of runners built up near each toilet so they had to waste time. I was in a similar situation – the toilet was locked for a long time (at least it seemed to me like an eternity, probably it was a minute or so). Then I started banging the toilet door like crazy, and it opened pretty soon.
The route was going mostly on the highway – a wide road on the pillars which was open to any kind of wind. We had to run 2 loops, there and back, on this highway. As we started around 6AM, the wind was not that strong. I did not run too fast in the beginning, so I arrived in a pretty decent shape at half-marathon distance. Then suddenly the wind picked up with gusts of 40-50 km/h. I was very lucky that this time the wind was blowing into my back! But then at 30km point I had to turn back and face all the power of the typhoon! I was crawling all the way until 40 km, when I finally got off the highway and went to the finish part of the route in Hsinchu downtown. I realized that I was pretty near 4 hours, but I was totally exhausted, I could not accelerate in the final few kilometers, and many people have overtaken me at that point.
At that moment I only had one thought in my head – I am alive and I am pretty happy that I did not stop on that highway. I made it through the typhoon and I don't care what my final result is. Somehow I managed to get to the finish line and then I saw the clock ticked 4:03:00 (I had no wrist watch, so I didn't know what was the time all along the way). Since we were using electronic chip, my time was adjusted to 4:02:46 as I crossed the starting line a few seconds after the clock was started. The moment of finishing the marathon was the happiest moment of my running career – this was by far the toughest race ever!

<p>Looking around the now very chic living room of The Haven with its cool grey walls, and muted whites and greys of the farrow and ball paint selection that had taken months of loving care to decorate. I kid you not, I removed 7 yes 7 layers of wall paper. I couldn't help but feel something was missing. Yes it was tranquil and beautiful but it was seriously lacking in something.. I kept walking around with the displeased look on my face that my husband thought I was going to re-decorate all over again. Its just not feminine enough... Mr C shuddered at the thought of any pink accessories.
I set to work on introducing a few key pieces. to be exact I made two new bolster covers with beautiful faded floral fabric with soft shades of pink, green and lilac tied with vintage lace at either end. These met Mr Cs approval and made a huge difference. The next accessory was flowers.. One big vase of gorgeous pastel pink tulips and a vintage jug full of deep pink roses and lime green foliage from the garden. And that Im pleased to say was all it took, proving it doesn't take much or need to cost the earth. Just a few key pieces. Why not just bring some flowers in for a fresh new look.. they will make you smile everytime you pass them.

FRANKFURT, Germany – German stock exchange operator Deutsche Boerse says it and CEO Carsten Kengeter are cooperating with prosecutors investigating purchases by Kengeter of the company's own shares.
Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse said in a statement Wednesday that the share purchase took place Dec. 14, 2015 as part of the company's executive pay program.
Deutsche Boerse's disclosure of directors' dealings on its website shows Kengeter bought 60,000 shares on that date for 4.5 million euros ($4.8 million) and he had discussed the purchase publicly.
Deutsche Boerse shares rose after it agreed to what it calls a merger of equals with the London Stock Exchange Group. An agreement on an all-share tie-up is still undergoing regulatory review by the European Commission.

Football News: Liverpool v Burnley Match Review - A Liverpool Perspective
Image from: davemartin.org
Liverpool v Burnley
How different this season's Burnley are from last season's version is difficult to tell, they play the same style against the big boys away from home, but this season it is bringing them results. A lot is down to riding their luck, but, before I dissect Liverpool's performance I just want to say well done to them, they worked incredibly hard for that result. They never once allowed their heads to drop and their players never panicked when under immense pressure. It is no wonder they are having such a good season, Sean Dyche has got them very well drilled.
While they were riding their luck, it was once again not with LFC, as another penalty was not given early in the game. Score that and it is a different game. Also blocked shots, I am not sure how many there were (it seems to depend on whose stats you look at as I have seen a couple of different figures given now) but there were a lot. On another day, one of them is a deflection that ends up sending the keeper the wrong way. Luck is definitely not on Liverpool's side right now.
There are problems with communication right throughout the team, not just Klavan not calling, this is a longstanding issue from back to front and we saw a lot of it yesterday as players went for the same balls. That needs to be worked on. The team as a whole also need to be reminded that they are a team, not 11 individuals that just shoot on sight. When there is a better option pass the ball to it rather than whack it from distance.
That performance will have given Klopp a lot of reason to be cheerful, but also a lot of things to work on during the week. Communication being the obvious one, but also set pieces, not defending them this time but attacking them and the delivery into the box. Why was Alexander-Arnold, who has shown he has a good delivery, not given charge of all set pieces? That is something I do not understand.
Klopp - got it completely wrong with his rotation of players, even if they did produce a good performance, it is not helping the teamwork that is needed to pick up points in games like this. Numerous attacking moves broke down due to misunderstandings and the players ended up playing like individuals hitting shots from anywhere and everywhere. What bugs me most of all was his choice to bring back Mignolet. Just why? Rotation does not work. The teams that have won the league in recent years have not rotated. Please just stop doing it!
Mignolet - he should never have been in the squad ever again, but somehow he is getting games in the league! It beggars belief, it really does. While he was not at sole fault for the goal, his dithering ensured he could not save it. If you watch closely, for some unknown reason he runs out of the goalmouth and towards Alexander-Arnold, then Brady jumps over TAA to head the ball and he has to get back into goal. Because of that, he is not set, he is still going to his left when the shot comes in and is unable to leap fully to his right.
Whether or not he would have saved it anyway is arguable, having endured his goalkeeping over the last few years, and watched him at Sunderland for a season or so before that, I do have my doubts he could have saved it, as his shotstopping is not the best. However it has to be pointed out that he is not giving himself the best possible chance to save it, by his dithering and poor decision-making (which could be a theme in this review as every player was guilty of it).
Then there were goal kicks, what on earth was he doing? I understand Burnley pressed up and took out the short option, but that is no excuse for his aimless, brutally aimless, lumps up field to players with little chance of winning a header.
Alexander-Arnold - another defensive error in his game today, no way should he have been beaten in the air by Brady. All helps the learning process though, I would hope he will be more decisive in future. Other than that, he had a decent game, I just do not understand why he was not taking the dead balls? He possesses the best delivery in the squad, why on earth is Milner, who is one of the worst, taking them over him? Corners should always be left to TAA, unless their defensive set up means a left footed taker would be better. I do not care if it affects our chances of keeping Coutinho by giving the set pieces to a kid, it is results that matter and he offers our best chance of getting them.
Going forward TAA is by far and away the best full back at the club, his delivery is mostly excellent and he has a right to question why no one was gambling on getting in the 6 yard box when he had a chance to put the ball in. It was noticeable the difference when Solanke came on and he was able to just put the ball in, knowing Solanke would be making the effort.
Matip - luckily the Burnley forwards did not get much service, as they physically bullied Matip when they did. However, in a game like this, his ability to carry the ball out of defence is an excellent weapon for the team. Just a shame he is not half as good at actually defending.
Klavan - needs to learn that he does not have to go for every aerial ball, that he can leave a header to a man under absolutely no pressure. But, if he really must go and get the ball instead of just taking up a position to cover, use your damn mouth to communicate what you are doing, rather than just colliding with Can needlessly. He is an experienced international footballer, so there is no excuse for basic errors like that.
Robertson - I know people have said he had a good game but for me he was more like the Hull City left back I had watched than he was on his debut. His runs were poor, constantly running inside, when we needed width desperately, when he did get the ball out wide, his delivery was not good at all. Defensively he could not be more suspect if he was in an identity line up dressed in a black striped shirt and wearing a mask. However, just like his debut does not mean he is a superstar, this one game does not mean he is a donkey. It is still early in his career and he is learning the role he is asked to play.
Can - that was much more like it from Can. Not an outstanding game by the standards he himself set, but it was better than his last couple. Rather than him being the one to bottle out of a challenge, his desire made a Burnley player just get out of the way as he realised Can was just going to go in and smash through anything in his way at that point. I personally think the holding role is a better fit for him out of all of our midfielders, even if it does restrict parts of his game. Can is the one that seems to understand it better.
Milner - I just will never get the Milner thing. Yes he runs around a lot but it is directionless. Yes he works hard but it is wasted in the wrong places. I could not even tell what position he was playing yesterday or what he thought he was doing. He is like a 5 year old, he just runs towards the ball most of the time. His set pieces are terrible. His crossing is 90% of the time woeful, his passing not much better. Milner is simply not good enough to have had the career he has had. It is a shame because I love his desire and willingness to play anywhere, but it takes more than that to deserve the shirt or it would be a team of fans.
Coutinho - tried too hard if anything and still does not look ready to be starting games. His touch was off and his shooting was abysmal. He did track back and he did try, but he is just as rusty as an old Rover.
Salah - despite them defending deep to cut down on his space to run behind Salah was always a threat and added a goal. Could have scored more but overall his contribution was key.
Sturridge - well at least he lasted 90 minutes! Other than that, there were flashes of the old Studger, but far too many moments when he was off the pace and missing the chance to get on the end of balls into the box he would have once gobbled up.
Firmino - ran himself into the ground. Always involved, but needs to learn to pass to someone other than Coutinho.
Solanke - replaced Coutinho in the 78th minute and provided a threat with his attempts to get at the Burnley defence and looking to get on the end of balls into the box. Unlucky not to score.
Oxlade-Chamberlain - came on at the same time as Solanke in a double substitution, in place of Firmino. Never really managed to get into the game though. Not a bad performance, it was just the game had changed before he came on and he was not able to get as much of the ball as the team got previously.
