|Retinal Diseases Telangiectasis
|Drug: ranibizumab 2.0mg
|Phase 2
This is an open-label, Phase I/II study of intravitreally administered ranibizumab in subjects with nonproliferative Idiopathic Parafoveal Telangiectasia (IPT).
Consented, enrolled subjects will be randomized into two groups: observation and treatment. The observation group will be monitored monthly while the treatment group will receive three open-label intravitreal injections of 1.0 mg ranibizumab administered every 30 days for 3 months and then as needed monthly, based on defined criteria. NOTE: The original protocol had the treatment group dosed at 2.0 mg/0.05mL. However, the 2.0mg dose will become unavailable beginning January 31, 2012. Therefore, the protocol amendment submitted in December 2011 changed the 2.0mg arm to a 1.0mg/ 0.10mL arm. Please note that three patients were already treated with 2.0mg before the amendment was submitted, so they will be switched to 1.0mg if they have not completed the study when the 2.0 dose is no longer available in January 2012.
Protocol: FVF4875s Final 6/P
As IPT is a chronically progressive condition, the purpose of this study is to see if high-dose ranibizumab can slow or stop the leakage and growth of existing, dilated, macular vessels in cases where no co-existing neovascularization exists as defined by fluorescein angiography and Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT). Other outcomes include stabilization of visual acuity compared to observation group (defined by best corrected Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) measurements), and changes in ultrastructural features, as defined by OCT,
3.3.1 Primary Outcome Measures
To compare the change in visual acuity from baseline to one year in patients with nonproliferative IPT who are either treated with high-dose (1.0mg) ranibizumab or observed.
3.3.2 Secondary Outcome Measures
i. To compare the change in visual acuity from baseline to 6 months and 9 months in patients with nonproliferative IPT who are either treated with high- dose (1.0mg) ranibizumab or observed.
ii. To assess OCT changes in standard Central Subfield Thickness (CST) from baseline to 6 months, 9 months and 12 months.
iii. To assess safety of administering 1.0mg ranibizumab (Lucentis) in patients with nonproliferative IPT at 6 months, 9 months and 12 months.
iv. To assess changes in angiographic leakage from baseline at 6 and 12 months.

- Visual Acuity Change From Baseline to Month 12 of the Study [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months ]
- Change in Visual Acuity From Baseline to Month 6 and From Baseline to 9 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months and baseline to 9 months ]
- Change in Standard Central Subfield Thickness (CST) as Measured by OCT From Baseline to 6, 9, and 12 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6, 9, and 12 months ]A large decrease in CST thickness may be indicative of a worse clinical outcome. These measurements are done to ensure safety of the participants.
- Number of Adverse Events Associated to the Administration of Ranibizumab 2.0mg [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 month, baseline to 9 month and baseline to 12 months ]
- Angiographic Leakage From Baseline to Month 6 and 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 and baseline to 12 months ]
Angiography was taken via fluorescein angiography. Any increases of angiographic leakage was counted between baseline and month 6. Also any decreases of angiographic leakage was counted between baseline and 6 month. The same was done between baseline and 12 month.
Any increase of angiographic leakage was counted as a +1. Likewise, any decrease of angiographic leakage was counted as a -1. The sum was calculated based on the number of participants in each arm and the total shown in the outcome. For example: if across the three injected participants for their 6 month visit, two of them showed an increase of angiographic leakage and one showed a decrease, then the outcome would be, (+1) + (+1) + (-1)= +1. Likewise, if the same three participant's 12 month visit showed two with a decrease in leakage and one with no changes in leakage, the outcome would be, (-1) + (-1) + (0)= -2

Gut Reactions: Nintendo E3 Press Conference
The GameSpot editors chime in on the new Zelda, the 3DS, and more from Nintendo's E3 press conference.
Day one of E3 has officially started, and Nintendo kicked it off with a bang. Not only did we finally get to see the successor to the Nintendo DS in the Nintendo 3DS, but we got a glimpse of a brand new Legend of Zelda, a new Donkey Kong Country, and a new Kirby adventure. We also witnessed the grand return of Pit from Kid Icarus--just to name a few. How did it all go down with the GameSpot editorial team? Read on to find out.
Tom Mc Shea, Associate EditorMy gut reaction to Nintendo? Holy crap! It was like Nintendo looked into my mind and designed a show around my favorite things. Epic Mickey was the standout game for me. Yeah, from a gameplay perspective, it looks like an ordinary platformer. But the fact that you can alter the story, environment, and even the characters around you by the choices you make sounds incredible, and the artistic design was eye catching. And then there's Kirby's Epic Yarn (what an awesome name!), which just looked incredible and amazingly fun as well. As a longtime Donkey Kong Country fan, I was pumped to see another 2D iteration (made by Retro!) with the awesome music from the SNES classic.
And then there's The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. What can I say? I love the art, the controls look smooth (as long as there isn't interference), and the combat actually looks challenging and fun. I'm curious how the overworld and dungeon design will be, but I cannot wait until next year when this finally comes out.
The only negative is that they didn't show off many 3DS games, but the revival of Kid Icarus: Uprising looks fast and fun, so I'm really interested to see what's coming in the future. It's funny how negative I was when they announced the system, but now that it's a reality, I just want to play it.
Sophia Tong, Associate EditorNintendo always has something I want. I just didn't think that it would have so many games I'd be looking forward to. I mean, sure, they're revisiting old franchises, but I absolutely loved Donkey Kong Country, and remember the day I got it for Christmas and played nonstop until the new year.
Kirby's always been as cute as can be, but now that the whole game is taking on that handmade LittleBigPlanet art style, I cannot wait to play the game for myself. I've always been into arts and crafts, so seeing the game come to life on a canvas is like mixing two of my favorite hobbies together.
There are so many great things to take away from the conference, such as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Goldeneye 007…but one thing's for sure: I want a 3DS and I want Metal Gear Solid in 3D.
Shaun McInnis, Associate EditorI'm still kind of startled by how much I enjoyed the Nintendo press conference. I've been pretty down on it over the past couple years, only recently dusting off my Wii after a long hibernation to play the stellar Super Mario Galaxy 2. (Figuratively, of course--it was boxed up in the closet free from dust.) But I'll admit, this was my favorite press conference of the show by a pretty sizable margin. The new Zelda game that uses MotionPlus really shows what an advantage Nintendo has over Move and Kinect with its ability to attach beloved franchises to new technologies. Kirby's Epic Yarn reminds me of Kirby: Canvas Curse--my favorite DS game--in all the right ways. Add to that Donkey Kong Country Returns, the exhaustive list of
Justin Calvert, Senior EditorI haven't played many Nintendo games in recent months, but after this year's E3 press conference (and given that I still have a sealed copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2 waiting for me at home), I think that's going to change going forward. There were so many things that impressed me at Nintendo this morning; I'm not even sure where to start. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Epic Mickey both looked like a lot of fun, and for the first time ever, I am legitimately excited for Kirby's Epic Yarn. I also can't wait to get my hands on that new version of Goldeneye 007.
I think perhaps what impressed me most about the Nintendo press conference, though, is the remarkable restraint that company shows even when unveiling a huge new game or a new piece of hardware, like today's 3DS. Nintendo doesn't need a fancy light show, it doesn't need celebrities, and it doesn't need to give attendees free hardware to guarantee applause at the end. Nintendo once again let its games do the talking, and at least from where I'm sitting, it had a lot of good things to say about the upcoming year.
Randolph Ramsay, Editor | GameSpot AUNintendo, I've missed you. Your last few E3 press conferences have been pretty hit and miss when it came to content that I actually cared about, but this year, nearly everything you showed had my geek juices bubbling. Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS looked awesome, Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii will surely suck days out of my life, and Epic Mickey is looking better every time I see it. And what about Kirby's Epic Yarn? I've been hoping for the little pink ball of awesome to get his own full-fledged game on the Wii, and it's great that Nintendo is giving him the chance he deserves. The only slightly sour note could be the motion controls in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I'll have to reserve judgement until I get hands-on, but some of the Wii Sports-like controls worry me a little bit. But if anyone can make these types of motion controls work in an epic 15-hour-plus experience, it's Nintendo. Hopefully.
Brian Ekberg, Senior EditorIf that wasn't a home run, then Nintendo's E3 2010 press conference was definitely a triple with men in scoring position. For as many games that Nintendo showed today that hold absolutely zero interest for me, there's one or more that I can't wait to get my hands on. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and Epic Mickey all look amazing (that Steamboat Willie level had me grinning with glee). And Kirby's Epic Yarn has perhaps become my most anticipated game of this show, which amazes me, considering I've never played a Kirby game before for any considerable length of time.
If the Nintendo press conference had ended with Donkey Kong Country Returns, I'd have still thought it was a great show. That they saved the best for last--the impressive unveiling of the Nintendo 3DS--put this over the top for me. Having stood in the snaking line for a long time in order to stand next to the pretty lady holding the pretty handheld system, I can say it was absolutely worth it. The top-screen 3D effect just simply works just as promised: no glasses required. The demo didn't feature actual gameplay (instead, it focused on still or lightly animated pictures), so I'm curious as to how games (and movies) will look in action. Nonetheless, Nintendo achieved exactly what you'd hope for with an E3 press conference: It made me want more.
Giancarlo Varanini, Editor-at-LargeOutside of announcing a Wii HD (probably never going to happen, folks), Nintendo had the best E3 press conference you could hope for if you're a Nintendo fan. Still, what struck me the most about the whole thing was the fact that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword wasn't even the most noteworthy thing there. That's not because it wasn't impressive in some aspects--I definitely like the visual style since it's almost a mixture of light cel-shading from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker combined with the more realistic look from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. But since the presentation was mostly focused on controls (that we've known about) and not the overarching aspects of the game, the demo itself just wasn't all that exciting.
That being said, Nintendo countered with some really nice surprises that appeal directly to those who worry that Nintendo's abandoning its roots. Kirby's Epic Yarn and Donkey Kong Country Returns are both platformers, and they're both spectacular for different reasons. I love the visual style for Kirby (despite being worried that it almost looked too similar to the horrible
Guy Cocker, Editor | GameSpot UKNintendo definitely had an impressive E3 2010 showing. The Zelda demo may have been mired by technical issues, but the company soon hit back with a procession of AAA content. Wii games Epic Mickey, Goldeneye 007, and Donkey Kong Country Returns all struck a chord with the core audience, while Kirby's Epic Yarn was a quirky but charming concept.
But it was the Nintendo 3DS that everyone was waiting for, and Nintendo didn't disappoint. The hardware looked familiar but new, with impressive technology, such as the ability to take 3D photos. The demo of Kid Icarus: Uprising showed off great graphics, but it was the long list of publishing partners that really sealed the deal for me. DJ Hero 3D, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Resident Evil Revelations, Batman, Assassin's Creed Lost Legacy, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle, Ridge Racer, and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D - The Naked Sample games are all coming for the system--a formidable list of games that mean the console will be a day-one purchase for many.
In short, Nintendo just put its E3 booth at the top of most GameSpot editors' "must-visit" list.
Jane Douglas, Section Editor | GameSpot UKA real crowd-pleaser from Nintendo. It will have a won a lot of goodwill back from those "core" gamers who've been feeling left out by the emphasis on the casual. Wii Party was completely overshadowed by Goldeneye 007 for the Wii, which looked impressive, and homecomings for Donkey Kong and Kirby. Kirby's Epic Yarn was really charming, so I can't wait to see more of that. And then the 3DS was as strong a finish as Nintendo could have hoped for, with that lineup of third parties on board to make 3DS titles (Resident Evil! Metal Gear Solid! Saints Row?!) and Kid Icarus looking spectacular. Even the two camera lenses on the lid for taking 3D photos is neat extra. The Nintendo booth is going to be swamped.
Andrew Park, Managing EditorI was both impressed and surprised by what I figured, going in, would be the most predictable press conference at the show. Nintendo had some very, very promising-looking games for both the Wii and DS. I didn't get to try the 3DS myself, so I'm still on the fence there, and while Zelda and Metroid didn't make a great showing, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Donkey Kong Country Returns both looked terrific. I have to also say that it's really weird to watch a 2010 video game press conference where the most exciting games are, of all things, 2D side-scrollers. I'm also just really happy to see Kirby back in the saddle as the hero of his own game. That guy's great.
Kevin VanOrd, EditorNintendo didn't get off to the best start. Perhaps there was indeed lots of wireless interference, but regardless, I came away from the Zelda demonstration wondering: "Where's the fun?" Well, Nintendo did indeed bring the fun, and it overcame its iffy beginning by delivering one surprise after another, to the point where I was giddy with excitement, wondering what might be coming next. Consider this: The GoldenEye remake could have been a headliner, but instead, even that game was overshadowed by Kid Icarus: Uprising, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, and what could be a legitimate contender for my personal game of the show, Epic Mickey. As Tom Mc Shea is fond of pointing out to me, "It's Warren Spector!" Well, I am convinced Spector's still got the magic touch. Epic Mickey looks fun, it looks inventive, and it looks beautiful. More licensed games should take these kinds of chances.
Everything else was icing on the icing. I am not fully convinced yet that the 3DS will be amazing, but a number of important franchises will be landing on it. (Metal Gear, Ridge Racer, and… Saints Row: Drive-By?) Nevertheless, Nintendo had passion for what it presented and showed us what's most important: games. Good games. Games that matter. Games that look fun. That's the kind of press conference I can get behind. Score: 9.0. (Superb.)
Laura Parker, Features Editor | GameSpot AUUnlike other publishers that shall remain unnamed (rhymes with "Schmicrosoft") Nintendo really delivered this E3. No controller-free gimmicks, no wise-cracking celebrities, no remakes of 1980's handheld infrared-emitting targeting devices. Just a good old press conference (you know, like in the old days?) where people talked about video games. And pretty good ones at that. I think this was one of Nintendo's best E3 lineups, starting with the long-awaited new Zelda game for the Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I was impressed with how the game controls on the Wii: Nintendo hasn't gone too crazy with the motion controls, allowing players to use both the nunchuk and Wii Remote with the Wii MotionPlus and making the whole thing actually look cool by assigning a sword and shield to the controllers, among other commands.
I was also impressed that Nintendo stuck to its guns and echoed last year's E3 press conference company line, which Miyamoto proclaimed to be something along the lines of the essence of good game design is a game that can be played by everyone. This tied in with a whole bunch of casual titles (Mario Sports Mix, Wii Party) and eventually led up to the most exciting announcements of the entire day: Donkey Kong Country Returns and an OMG totally cute Kirby game that involves yarn. Only Nintendo could pull that off, by the way, and by the looks of the trailer, it has well and truly surpassed itself in the cute-and-innovative-gameplay department.
I also look forward to Miyamoto and Iwata jumping out of my 3DS sometime in the future, as per the closing demo.

Movie Review: Inside JobBy James Beale
December 9, 2010
Near the end of "Inside Job," the Dean of Columbia's Graduate School of Business, Glenn Hubbard, angrily says, "This interview is over in three minutes...give it your best shot."
"Inside Job" responds: Okay. Over two hours, the documentary posits that the global economic meltdown of 2008 was precipitated partially by deregulation throughout the 1980s and '90s, but the most important factor was corruption from the inside out.
The film, a selection at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, does this incredibly well, merging interviews, plentiful graphs, and reports to create a narrative that will likely make you leave the theater raging. Indeed, this is a film you should see - the concepts and politics are important to understand.
Narrated with a calm hand by Matt Damon, the documentary is directed by Charles Ferguson, who was nominated for an Academy Award for "No End in Sight." The film, to their credit, is never boring even while talking about collateralized debt obligation.
Even if you understand the main causes of the meltdown: Derivative trading, credit default swaps and predatory lending (among others), there are still new insights to be gained.
Hubbard's comment was in response to probes into his speaking appearances and outside compensation, which are probably from companies that he supports (and thus, they support him to teach favorable policies). The fourth of the five sections in the film looks at schools and the unlikely conspirators: Econ teachers and seemingly impartial evaluators, many of whom seem to be in the pockets of the bank.
And if you don't understand completely what a credit default swap is, the film is even more important. "Inside Job" doesn't spend too much time explaining the intricacies of the process, and some details remain fuzzy, but it's enough to move the story along.
Many documentaries rely on "gotcha" interviews as their bread and butter, but most big targets denied interview requests. Director Charles Ferguson did manage to land four interviewing targets, though. Frederic Mishkin in particular looks bad. A member of the Board of Governors for the Fed, he claims he resigned at the peak of the crisis in 2008 to return to Columbia to finish editing his textbook. Also, C-SPAN video from 2009 help to hear the CEOs back themselves into a corner.
Many information gaps are filled in by intriguing interviews with a wide range of people, including politicians, professors, journalists, authors, lawyers, lobbyists, a therapist and a memorable madam. Through these interviews, which span many countries, a portrait of the global collapse begins to emerge.
The story begins with President Reagan in 1981 and continues through mid-2010. The film is slightly liberal in its politics (deregulation is a constant target), but it doesn't really matter; the real villain is corruption and a system unwilling to change.
The American government is included in this - bureaucracy and lobbying kills a bill that would have regulated derivative trading in the late 1990s. Furthermore, President Obama, after campaign promises, kept most economic advisers or hired new ones fresh from companies that triggered the collapse.
"Inside Job" doesn't demonize deregulation or the government as much as it does the CEOs and lenders who walked away from bankrupt companies with hundreds of millions of dollars. The government is ineffectual, yes, but these men started it and knew what they were doing. Furthermore, Wall Street bonuses have only gone up since the crisis.
There are many mentions but few examples of the victims of the crisis: The working class. A factory worker in China and a non-English speaking family are the big examples, introduced late in the film, and they may not gain sympathy from a large chunk of the viewership. Also, the last moments of the film are groan-inducing.
The title of the film refers to those CEOs that claim that the recession was simply a market fluctuation, that it was unavoidable. There is fairly damning evidence otherwise.
3.5 stars/4"Inside Job" is playing at The Lyric from Dec. 10 to Dec. 16.

Display advertising creates a multitude of opportunities for advertisers. However, digital marketing campaigns won't reach their full potential if your ads aren't on target. Display ad success depends on diligent research and development to ensure that the right audience is being targeted in the right way at the right time.
If you have a highly focused audience in mind, you've already won half the battle. The next great challenge is crafting a display ad that delivers the right message. The ultimate goal of these ads is to engage consumers and trigger action. Your ads face stiff competition from other advertising and content that also strives to grab consumer attention.
By following these strategies, you can ensure that your display ads are hitting the right notes with consumers and positioning your campaign for high engagement and conversion rates. Here are three keys to connecting with consumers through your display advertising.
Get Specific With Your Call-to-Action
Display ads don't need to be coy about trying to trigger a reaction. In fact, consumers are more likely to act when there is a clear call-to-action (CTA). Display, or banner, ads perform even better when the call-to-action is specific. Instead of the vague "Learn more" CTA, your display advertising will get better results by chasing a specific action, such as "Watch the video" or "Download now."
Other specific types of calls-to-action have proved very successful on digital platforms. According to Advertising Age, virtually all digital ads asking consumers to send or share content or feedback triggered rapid gains in brand favorability among consumers. The purchase-intent scores of those consumers also doubled in comparison with the purchase-intent influence of the average ad. Making a direct solicitation of a consumer's engagement certainly seems to lead to tangible benefits.
Offer a Small Incentive
In the digital realm, it's important to remember that the best call-to-action is a discount or promotion. According to Advertising Age, roughly half of all digital ads offer a promotion of some type.
Businesses can get creative with their offers to showcase some of the strengths that separate their brand from competitors. If you pride yourself on fast shipping or convenient door-to-door delivery, you might use free shipping as a promotional offer. When you're retargeting consumers who have abandoned the path-to-purchase, you can choose a promotional offer based on where that consumer left and what typically prompts consumers to drop out at that point.
Digital coupons haven't come to rival the redemption rates of print coupons yet, but their popularity is on the rise. Data from Kantar media reported at Advertising Age shows that digital coupon activity among businesses increased by 46 percent in the last year as digital platforms became more common channels for seeking discounts and other deals.
A little experimentation can go a long way. Test out some new approaches to digital advertising and see what works best for your company in order to have display ad success.

The importance of teachers as mentors and role models for students
Juergen Siebel, Head of International Business, Siemens Professional Education
The European Commission has said that every young person should have a practical entrepreneurial experience before they finish school. As entrepreneurship education is yet to be embedded in the national education strategy of each member nation we need to look at teachers as important crusaders for this important objective.

Entrepreneurship education in South East Europe and Turkey
Thomas Farnell, Entrepreneurial Learning Expert, South East European Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (SEECEL)
Despite significant political, economic and social challenges, the EU's pre-accession countries of South East Europe (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo*, Montenegro and Serbia) and Turkey have begun to address entrepreneurship education systematically, including through regional cooperation and peer learning. And some countries are already achieving inspiring results.

Bridging the skills gap with entrepreneurship education
Martina DLABAJOVÁ, Member of the European Parliament
Many people might think that entrepreneurship is only about setting up one's own company. This is not so much the truth. It is also about the citizen's mind-set to act actively in an ever changing world which beside opportunities brings also many threats. Of course, we all are not meant to be entrepreneurs, but we need to acquire an entrepreneurial spirit, an entrepreneurial attitude towards crucial choices in our lives.

Entrepreneurial Learning: formal vs. in- and non-formal education and training
Professor Dr. Radmil Polenakovikj, Business Start-up Centre, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University
"Entrepreneurship and Innovation is for all" - This is my motto.
Entrepreneurs are made, not born. It is true that not everybody has the same entrepreneurial spirit, some people are more entrepreneurial than others.

Your life is probably hectic. We all juggle an enormous number of competing priorities, from time with family and friends to commitments at work and school.
Not to mention trying to fit in time for exercise, meal planning and a good night's sleep.
Sometimes it feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day for everything that "needs" to get done.
So what would you say if someone suggested that you spend some time doing less?
We are human beings, not human doings.
According to Katie Hundley, L.P.C., with Carilion Clinic's Employee Assistance Program, slowing down and doing less can actually improve how effective you are.
"In our fast-paced world, it can be so easy to buy into the idea that you need to over-function and do more and more with the time that you have," she says. "It's almost revolutionary to remember that you are more than what you do—we are human beings, not human doings."
It might seem easier said than done, so here are some tips from Katie to help you step back from multitasking:
Take Inventory
Think about the overall pace of your life: Is it working for you? Are the number of things on your plate making you feel frustrated, irritable or overwhelmed?
The commitments you make and the expectations you place on yourself can create a tornado of feelings that, if left unchecked, can keep you from having fulfilling relationships and cause burnout.
Remind yourself (and even write it down!) that if you don't do everything—or do it perfectly—things will still be ok.
Do One Thing
What would it be like to just drink your cup of coffee without also scrolling through social media, driving to work or getting the kids' days going at the same time? Give it a try. Notice the coffee's temperature, notice how the cup feels in your hands, notice the taste.
Take the opportunity to stop multitasking every once in a while and do just one thing at a time, if only for a minute.
Create a "To Not Do" List
When you're feeling overwhelmed, create a list of the things you're not going to do right now.
Your list can include small tasks, such as postponing the laundry when you are in the middle of a major project at work.
And it can include larger decisions, like declining a social commitment or staying home instead of traveling this weekend.
Prioritize Yourself
There might be a hundred things to do right now, and some of them must be done. But when possible, pausing the to-do list may be more important than working extra hours or cleaning the kitchen.
Rest and time for play are critical to our overall wellness. Give yourself permission to prioritize yourself, and remember you can always return to the to-do list.
It can be easy to believe that we should be doing many things at once to keep up with everything that needs to get done.
Taking time to slow down, saying "No" to extra commitments and quieting the self-critical voice that tells you you should be doing more can create a great amount of relief in your life.
You may just find yourself more refreshed and energized!

What To Look Out For?
It is usually quite an obvious problem when water is coming in over the top of your wall, but as with all basement leaks it is always better to catch it sooner rather than later, so that no further damage is caused.
Look out for water coming in over the top of the wall in between the concrete and the wooden sill plate. Water will leak from the top, and you may see some obvious damp or drips underneath as it spills down.
Why Does This Happen?
Water can leak over your foundation wall for a number of different reasons. A lot of the problems are to do with the grading. If the soil grade is higher than the foundations, then the water and soil can create a pressure that forces water through the weak spot between the top of the wall and the sill.
The second major cause is when water pools against your home above grade. Again, the grading could to be blame, if it does not encourage water to flow away from the property. A leaking downsprout, an improperly installed decking or exterior feature, or heavy rainfall combined with a lack of adequate drainage can all cause serious problems.
If you see water coming through the top of your foundation walls, you can go outside and see whether you can see any of the causes described above.
What Solutions Are Available?
If water is leaking in through the top of your foundation wall, then it will eventually render your basement useless, creating damp and mold problems that can damage the room.

Are you ready for the Sew-In?Wednesday, January 13, 2010 15 Comments »
Aye aye, Cap'n, I be ready!
Hey Kim, did you catch one of the Kim-inspired tissue cozies in the picture?
You made me literally LOL. I love it.
When I do my reminder post later today - I'm going to link to this.
See you tomorrow!
Hey Heidi -- I had fun doing it, although my my feline QCM didn't seem to pleased.
You know I'll be there in spirit with you all -- wish I could be there in person with YOU, though.
Hey -- did I see some flying geese peeking out from a photo in your check list? Does this mean you'll be stitchin geese?
I wanna come quilt with you!
It looks like you are all ready. I'll see you there :-)
Kimberly: yep, those are geese. Actually it's the Flying Geese Crossing quilt that I started in your class at Lancaster last year. It's morphed into a generous double bed quilt for my grand daughter. All the blocks are sewn & labeled for placement, but they've been in a pile waiting to be sewn together for months. I figured this was a good excuse to just get it done. Hopefully I'll be able to add the inner white border, but have now decided that I want to do a flying geese border as well. I have TONS of extra strips & my Kimberly Einmo Flying Geese ruler all warmed up, so maybe you WILL be able to hear PA geese honking all the way down there in FL.
If I can get the wireless internet to work on my laptop, I'll have it set to facebook and AIM. Check out my Blogger profile & feel free to stop on by. The kettle will be on, the tap on the box of wine primed, and we might even be able to scare up some popcorn.
Great post! It's 1pm here and I'm already back in my jammies, making a spinach artichoke dip and I've got m&ms ready!! My "helpful" cat Ruby is ready to get to work!
Cute: I love posting pictures How neat. wish I was able to post pictures without a hassle. Right now for me to get pictures it is a long process. My computer is an oldie and doesn't have the disc slot. I don't have a cable it costs $$$$. So I have to rely on hubby or daughter to download when it is continent for them. then they have to send it to my computer. Hopefully, I'll be getting a new computer after tax returns. YES! count down.
Love your check list. Looks like you have a project tester there. Have fun sewing. I will too.
Oh, yes, I'm ready! Isn't it fun?!
Hi everybody! I'am here to join the party. I have my jammies on and I'am busy sewing on a quilt right now. Love those kitties. Purr Purr! How cute!
Well, taking a break to get on here. Going to go have a nice cup of hot tea, relax with Muffin, then get busy again. See you guys later. Love the photos!
Just got home and read Hiedi's blog for last minute instructions. Going to go get changed and get to work. Wishing you a great night. You are funny!
Well, the best laid plans....
Wanted to work on my flying geese quilt top, but the crud is starting to wrap it's tentacles around my throat and sinuses. I settled for something less ambitious -- a big ol' tote bag. Junior (the cat) is helping, as is a dose of Mucinex.

Orlando Mythbusters
Getty Images
1. Walt Disney, knowing he was dying of cancer, had cryogenic tanks placed in the heart of Cinderella's Castle where he lies frozen, awaiting a cure for the cancer that killed him.
2. The Space Mountain ride at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Theme Park once decapitated a rider who stood up during a ride.
Even some of the cast members at the Magic Kingdom believe this one. The story goes that a guest stood up on the Space Mountain ride in fear of his life and had his head severed by a low-hanging metal ridge. This is the story that teachers told students on field trips to the Magic Kingdom and, believe me, we listened. Is this myth true? Not exactly.
First, a person standing up on a ride moving upwards of 40 mph, rocketing around curves and plunging down hills would be a rather incredible feat. Is it true that a head was decapitated? Yes! According to one of the top Disney researchers, before Space Mountain was opened to the public, a rather unfortunate crash-test dummy bounced out of the seat and had his head knocked clean off. The trainees below got the fright of their life when the head landed and rolled towards them. There is no doubt that the unlucky crash-test dummy was the start of this Orlando urban myth.
3. The first three Disney theme parks opened on October 1st to commemorate the date that Walt Disney was dishonorably discharged from the Army.
Rumor has it that the reason Walt Disney was discharged from the army was for drawing cartoon characters on an Army truck. Furthermore, Disney was supposedly quite proud of the dishonorable discharge. Is this urban myth true? No. First of all, Walt Disney never served in the Army because he was too young to enlist during World War I. He did volunteer for the American Ambulance Corps for the Red Cross, but he was not dishonorably discharged. Secondly, Disney-MGM Studios, as the park was known then, opened on May 1st, not October 1st.
4. Expansion of the monorail system to cover other areas of Disney property would cost more than $1,000,000 per mile.
Anyone who has ever visited Walt Disney World has more than likely experienced the smooth ride of the monorails that link three of the resorts to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot and other locations on Disney property. Even with this fast, quiet and pollution-free ride, Disney still employs the use of large diesel buses and other vehicles. Many people wonder why the monorails have not been expanded to include all areas of Disney. The standard answer is that the expansion would cost $1,000,000 per mile. Is this myth true? No. The truth is that it would cost much more than that. A similar system built in Las Vegas cost almost $700,000,000 for just over four miles of track. A monorail expansion would be great, but it is not in the company's immediate plans.
5. There is a secret members-only club located under the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
According to urban legends, the secret members-only club is the only place in the park to obtain liquor. Is this myth true? Partially. There is a secret Disney club called Club 33, but it is located in Disneyland in California, not in Disneyworld in Orlando. Mythbusters believe rumors of the real secret club were extended to Orlando.
Although the majority of Orlando urban myths are related to Disney, there are some that are not. Read a few below.
6. A Connecticut senator called a travel agent to complain about his Orlando hotel room. The complaint? He couldn't see the ocean from his room's balcony.
The travel agent explained that, although the senator may have requested an ocean-view room, seeing the ocean from Orlando was impossible because Orlando wasn't close to any ocean. The senator reportedly replied, "Don't tell me that, I looked at the map and Florida is a very thin state." Is this myth true? No. Is this myth funny? Absolutely.
7. The Skunk Ape, or Swamp Ape, resides in the Florida marshes.
Those who have sighted Florida's version of Bigfoot claim that the creature is extremely hairy with huge feet and an overpowering odor of skunk. There are multiple groups and websites specifically dedicated to the collection of evidence proving the existence of Florida's Bigfoot. There are even plaster casts of tracks, photos and many eyewitness accounts. Is this myth true? While there has never been any direct evidence of the existence of such a creature, it hasn't been disproved yet either!

The Casio Celviano GP300 Grand Hybrid Digital Piano is made with 88 full-length, wooden keys for ultimate authenticity. Capable of producing the most subtle nuances of the world's most respected pianos, this revolutionary new model from Casio gives you an experience that goes far beyond playing piano. The Casio Celviano Hybrid Grand GP300 offers three main piano sounds based on three renowned concert grands, as well as 23 other built-in tones. In developing this innovative digital piano, Casio have created an instrument that would thrill even the most demanding and traditional pianist.
C. Bechstein have been one of Europe's most important makers of grand and upright acoustic pianos for over 160 years. Their grand pianos have been the first choice for the world's most famous composers and performing artists, from Franz Liszt to Bob Dylan. C. Bechstein worked closely with Casio to ensure that the key action in the Celviano Grand Hybrid Series responded as closely as possible to the key action in one of their own famous grand pianos. Similarly, the samples used to create the GP-Series' piano voices were taken from C. Bechstein's world-renowned D282 Concert Grand Piano. This collaboration between Casio and C. Bechstein has led to a digital piano that perfectly combines tradition and innovation.
The GP300's new Natural Grand Hammer Action keyboard retains the authenticity necessary for classic performance, thanks to piano keys that feature the same full length wood used as the C. Bechstein concert grand pianos. The GP300 shares a grand piano's keypress format by sending the hammer along a vertical path, delivering a true, whole touch that puts the GP-300 at your fingertips.
The GP300 inhabits a six-speaker amplification system, which is effective at providing a wholesome, rich sound. The Grand Acoustic System delivers three dimensional sound, which leaves it closely reminiscent of a truly acoustic grand piano. By having the speakers face three directions, the GP-300 can comfortably deliver classic sound to both the musician and the audience.
AiR Grand Sound Source technology is incorporated in the GP300, resulting in accurate sounds of three definitive grand pianos. Each of the three settings, Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna, offer a representative body and sound that closely study and deliver each of of the distinctive pianos they recreate. This results in the GP300 being an ownership to three of the piano's most respected and sought after sounds.
Multi-dimensional Morphing technology is also featured, allowing for each keystroke's volume and tone to decay in a natural, organic fashion, all dependent on how the player presses each key. The Resonance System can also be used to pick out harmonic relationships that coordinate between separate notes, allowing for additional likeness to the sounds of an actual grand piano.
The GP300 allows for aesthetic customization thanks to an Adjustable Lid Position. The adjustments made not only affect the design to the player's own preference, but also change the position of the two top speakers to adjust the sound direction. The Lid Simulator can then take effect by acknowledging the lid position, and altering the sound to mimic that of an acoustic grand piano's.
The GP300 features twelve individual simulations of a hall sound. All twelve of the Hall Simulator's effects are based upon separate, compelling venues, meaning the player can experience the sound of sitting in the audience whilst still sat in the playing position.
The GP300 can easily accommodate for those playing at home, or just for quiet use. The Volume Sync EQ will balance the sounds accordingly no matter what volume, and the Headphone Mode is perfect for the full sound of the GP-300, without disturbing the neighbours.
This Casio product comes with a generous five year warranty. This protects your piano in parts and labour costs for any manufacturing fault. This is an 'on-site' warranty, so a registered technician will come to the piano's residence for any repairs.
Delivery to UK mainland addresses* is FREE for orders of £75.00 or above. A small charge will be made for orders under this amount.

Kevin Lavelle v Sir Robert McAlphine Ltd (1999) QBD (Rougier J) 10 May 199Plaintiff: Male, married, 37 years old at date of settlement.
Incident: The claimant was employed by the defendant construction company to work on a project at Heathrow Airport. The claimant was driving a 40-ton truck along a dirt track on the building site when it slid into a pit 100 foot deep. He brought an action in negligence, alleging that the track along which he was required to drive was too narrow and that the edge of the pit was unsecured. He contended that there should have been some warning.
Injuries: The claimant sustained grave head injuries, leaving him brain damaged. He became lethargic and needed prompting to carry out basic daily tasks. He had been legally classified as a patient who was incapable of managing his own affairs and was dependent on the 24-hour care provided by his wife. He has not worked since the accident and medical reports had concluded that he would never work again. A hip injury he also sustained healed, although he continued to experience difficulty walking.
Award: u720,000 total damages.
Plaintiff's solicitor: Field Fisher Waterhouse
Plaintiff's counsel: Peter Andrews QC
Karen Beatham v Carlisle Hospitals NHS Trust (1999) QBD (Buckley J) 17 May 1999
Plaintiff: Female, married, 27 years old at date of accident; 30 years old at date of settlement.
Incident: On 14 January 1996 the claimant, who had a history of asthma, suffered a severe attack and attended the defendant's hospital. She was admitted to a ward but no steps were taken to ascertain her condition or monitor its progress. Her peak respiratory flow was not measured, even though this was part of standard practice in treating asthmatics. She suffered a respiratory attack and her breathing stopped. She urgently required oxygen to assist her breathing, but there was a delay in administering the gas while an oxygen mask was located. She suffered a cardiac arrest which led to her brain being starved of oxygen. The claimant brought an action alleging that the defendant was negligent in the medical treatment they provided, particularly in failing to prescribe the appropriate medication and ensure that proper equipment was available. She contended that once it became apparent that her condition was deteriorating there was a delay in responding.
Injuries: The claimant sustained brain damage as a result of her brain being starved of oxygen. She was left dependant on 24-hour care and was unable to walk or talk. She received care in an NHS hospice and was described as "minimally aware". She could recognise only her parents and had no awareness of her surroundings. She would continue to require intensive care.
Award: u1,700,000 total damages.
Plaintiff's solicitor: Osborne Morris & Morgan
Plaintiff's counsel: Simeon Maskrey QC

World Health Organization advisers have agreed to dilute the yellow fever vaccine to stretch out supplies if current outbreaks get worse, NBC News reported.
The approach, known as fractional dosing, is being considered as a short-term measure in the event of a potential vaccine shortage. It will not be proposed, however, for routine immunization, according to WHO.
Despite vaccination drives, the virus is still spreading, and can't be eradicated because it infects people, monkeys and other animals — and mosquitoes that carry the virus can be reinfected even if the population is vaccinated.
U.S. & World
The virus has been circulating in a number of African countries as well as Peru and China. More than 3,000 cases of the illness have been reported in Angola and 345 people have died.

Over the last decade, banks in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region have accounted for over 46 percent of global banking profits. However, the region now seems to be settling into a new era of slower growth rates and increased challenges in generating significant profits. From a consumer standpoint, Asian consumers are moving quickly into digital banking. According to McKinsey research, there is a 96 percent and 94 percent digital penetration in Australia and Singapore respectively. The same research also states that more than 80 percent would be willing to shift some of their holdings to a bank that offers a compelling digital proposition.
While digital banking has lowered costs and improved customer experience, it has led to the separation between the bank and its customers. Banks can no longer continue to rely on their branch's personal bankers to assist customers, eliminating previous opportunities to grow revenues and deepen relationships. In essence, there is a missing puzzle piece in today's banking environment. How do you maintain the digital presence that customers demand while also providing the level of personalized assistance that in-person bankers provide? The missing puzzle piece is the Digital Personal Banker, a digital equivalent of today's branch personal bankers, that provides the customer support that today's and tomorrow's digital banking customers want.
To learn more about how APAC banks can incorporate the missing puzzle piece in their digital banking, join a [24]7.ai Webinar on Dec 7th, 2016. The webinar will help banking leaders learn:
- What a Digital Personal Banker is.
- How a Digital Personal Banker can reach customers in the digital world.
- How to leverage the Digital Personal Banker to drive the future of customer experience.

Let's just do some charts today.
DOW Weekly - That small yellow channel to the right, that's seven months of choppy consolidation happening just under blue long term market resistance. Weekly negative divergences are pretty glaring.
DOW Daily - A closer look at the above. The 14,777 area is obviously critical support here.
NAS Weekly - Overcooked.
RUT Weekly - Very overcooked.
SPX Weekly - Well done.
SPX Daily - Just nasty overbought and blowing thru upper resistance.
EUR/USD - Lower green LT support just barely hanging on as price blue wedges up into peach channel resistance at which point it should be the beginning of the end for the Euro. The target is near 80 if the HnS plays out.
10yr - Possibly my favorite chart of all. Busted and backtesting. That's not good.
SPX Daily - This is really stupid now. Overthrowing in an overthrow in and overbought market with negative divergences galore breaking upper resistance all fueled by fiat lies. This will not end well. Enjoy it while it lasts.
More to come below.
Have a good day.

See the Tabbed Pages for hyperlinks to video tutorials, and a linked list of post titles grouped by topic. It achieves important energy savings by creating a superinsulated building envelope that minimizes heat loss and prevents air leakage. Even thinking about how far renewable energy technologies have come, they have a quite extended and arduous road to navigate if they are to genuinely compete with fossil fuels, which nonetheless provide the vast majority of the world's power. Don't overload the dryer or over-dry your garments as this creates a longer drying time, which uses a lot more energy. Triple-pane windows function very best when enhanced power performance is a important objective.
An Power Audit Study assists an organisation to understand and analyse its power utilisation and recognize regions exactly where power use can be decreased, decide on how to spending budget power use, strategy & practice feasible energy conservation strategies that will improve their energy efficiency, curtail energy wastage and substantially decrease power charges.
Right here are a handful of basic ideas to reduce your usage around the residence and get your bill down. While it is accurate that the burning of biomass generates carbon dioxide, it is no a lot more than the carbon dioxide that was absorbed when the plant grew, and so it is classed as a carbon neutral energy supply, and as long as the plant is replaced this is a renewable energy source. However, whilst these modern day makes use of for power from biomass are all carbon neutral there have been some complaints. A systematic strategy, to monitor industrial power consumption and to pin-point sources of wastage, is recognized as Energy Audit. Commitment Meet 70% or much more of the annual power necessary for heating water via renewable energy based water-heating systems.
When this is set and plugged in a wall socket, you can connect a device on it (for instance plug your laptop on the energy meter) and while the laptop is operating, the power meter will keep track of the precise consumption. Tripane offers a variety of low-E configurations for greater Solar Heat Acquire handle, including panes filled with argon or krypton-argon gas for added efficiency. Power STAR certified residences and apartments use drastically less energy than common new properties and apartments while delivering much better comfort, good quality, and durability. Wind energy applications in the UK variety from little battery-charging applications creating useful electricity remote from the electrical energy distribution network, to huge wind farms generating electrical energy competitive with traditional energy stations. As with several other renewable power sources it has a history going back fairly centuries.
As I stated SuperSkyRocket this is only a fast overview of some of the main renewable energy resources, but I hope that by writing it it will help other folks recognize much more about renewable energy. While there is the prospective for additional hydropower projects to create renewable energy, the majority of excellent internet sites in created nations have already been utilised, and so out of all of the the renewable energy technologies this is most likely the one particular with the lowest possibility of critical percentage development. See NFRC ratings for any Marvin solution on the Energy Info Finder Tool page, or by opening the Expert Sources tab on any solution web page. Suggestions for capturing energy from the waves are diverse in nature and so some of the significant tips are detailed beneath.

major groups of Spyware is Adware and Malware
less common spyware programs is called Malware. Malware is a program
that designed to cause problems with computer. Malware include
viruses, Trojan horse programs, and certain forms of hijacking
spyware. These types of spyware are written to get personal information
such as email passwords, internet banking passwords, credit card
numbers, and social security numbers for fraud. Many of spyware
can change default program settings to allow an attacker access
to the computer, or monitor a user's keystrokes to get information.
The information is then sent off to the attacker via email without
user knowledge or intervention.
hard to tell the share of computers that have been infected with
spyware, estimates run as high as 95% computers could be infected.
Children online can be especially vulnerable because they may
have less technical savvy and frequently download using peer to
peer software from the Internet.
with spyware:
problems present themselves when a user has spyware on their system.
Spyware creates targeted advertisements can be a problem. The
ads will be created from information such as websites and advertisements
visited previously. If children are using the same computer, this
can be a problem. If the adult user visits a pornographic site,
the minor could receive targeted advertisements which contain
pornographic material. Sometimes the targeting of ads can be for
pornographic advertisements without anyone having visited adult
Spyware can be a huge annoyance to computer users. Created Pop
Up ads often appear when web pages are opened or closed. This
can cause hours of wasted effort because many of the Pop Ups create
more popup ads as they are closed, in an ever expanding cycle.
Memory and CPU Resource:
Some spyware allows the unauthorized use of computer memory and
cpu resources. This includes running programs while a PC is not
busy. However, increased use of a computer memory, processor and
harddisk increases the wear and tear on the components, and reduces
its functional lifetime. In some cases resources are used for
malicious purposes, such as mailing spam or viruses to everyone
in your addressbook.
control of your PC:
Spyware can change browser's homepage and other settings without
the user's knowledge or permission. These changes can include
turning off firewall and security protection so the spyware can
communicate with external resources, making them potentially dangerous.
Steps for Removing Spyware from Your Computer
computer in Safe Mode (with Networking)
to Restart Computer in Safe Mode :
Some computers have a progress bar that refers to the word
BIOS. Others may not let you know what is happening. As soon
as the BIOS loads, begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
Do so until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears. If
you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display

VICTORIA, B.C. – University of Victoria Vikes swimmer EricHedlin was the first to get claim Canada a medal on the opening dayof the FINA World Championships held in Barcelona, Spain. Inaddition, 2012 Olympic bronze medallist and fellow Vike RichardWeinberger finished fifth place in the men's 10-km open water eventtwo days later.
Hedlin Story / Weinberger Story
Hedlin, competing in the men's 5-kilometre open water race, swama time of 53:31.6 to earn the second spot on the podium. Thesecond-year Vike fell short of gold to Tunisia's Oussama Melloulibut finished well-ahead of seven-time defending champion ThomasLurz of Germany.
Without much time to rest after his 5-km race, Hedlin joinedWeinberger in the 10-km open water event. Second-year Weinberger,who swam to the podium in the 10-km in London last year, felljust 0.7 seconds behind bronze medallist Mellouli of Tunisia tofinish in fifth-place. Hedlin finished 23rd in a field of 66.
Weinberger's fifth-place finish in 1:49:19.9 did not comewithout drama, as the 23-year old missed a turning buoy midwaythrough the race at Moll de la Fusta and was forced to leave hisposition near the front of the pack to repeat the turn.Relentlessly, Weinberger battled back to the front as the rest ofthe lead pack enter the final lap.
"I'm pretty proud of the fact that I didn't give up," saidWeinberger in a Swimming Canada report. "I tried to stay cool but Iknew it was a fatal mistake and I paid for it."
Impressively, just a week ago Hedlin was in Kazan, Russia, alsorepresenting Canada at the 27th Summer Universiade. Hedlin earnedone of Canada's 16 medals, after earning bronze in the men's 800-mfreestyle. In the men's 1500-m race, Hedlin was unfortunate not tobring Canada's tally to 17 to after finishing in a closefourth-place.
As a rookie, Hedling competed at the CIS swimming championshipslast February, picking up two medals for UVic. He earned silver inthe men's 400-m freestyle and in the meet's memorable 500-m event,Hedlin swam to gold as his Vikes teammates finished the podiumsweep with Will Brothers and Weinberger close behind. Hedlin wasnamed a CIS first team All-Canadian and honoured as the 2013 CISRookie Swimmer of the Year for his notable performances.
As the World Championships continue, both Hedlin and Weinbergerhave one event left each. Hedlin will be competing in thethree-person 5-km relay on Jul. 25, while Weinberger will belooking to bounce back with eyes on the podium in the 25-km openwater on Jul. 27.

Chelsea v Crystal Palace Betting Preview, Odds & Tips | 04/11/18
Marcello Cossali-Francis (@marcello95cf) previews Chelsea vs Crystal Palace and provides us with his best bets for Sunday's Premier League lunch-time kick-off by analysing team news, potential line-ups, head-to-head, key stats and facts and more.
Chelsea v Palace Betting Preview, Odds & Tips
- Date: 04/11/18
- Time: 16:00
- Venue: Stamford Bridge
Chelsea will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season, as they host a struggling Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge this Sunday afternoon.
Palace ended their three-match losing streak last weekend, as they twice came from behind to take a point from the in-form Arsenal at Selhurst Park. Roy Hodgson's men have picked up just two wins so far this season and are a side struggling for goals and come up against a tough defensive Chelsea side this weekend, in a fixture they have had plenty of success against in recent times.
Palace have won two of the last three games against the Blues and only once has this game been settled by more than a one-goal margin. Palace have always proven a difficult team to beat at home but have struggled on the road in recent years, with just six wins in their last 25 away from Selhurst Park.
Having said that, Palace have actually scored in 13 of their last 15 away games and with the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend, they have pace and trickery on the counter attack.
Chelsea are yet to lose a game in any competition this season and have lost just four games at the Bridge in the last two seasons in all competitions. They have shipped just seven league goals so far and look like a side that will be competing for the title and with Hazard returning to the side, it is difficult to back anything other than a Chelsea win.
Chelsea are clear favourites for the win at 3/10, with Palace out at 12/1 and the draw being priced at around 5/1. The angle here is in the correct score market, with 2-1 being the score in this fixture in six of the last 10 matches. Chelsea should have enough to seal the three points and this score definitely looks a good shout.
Team News
Eden Hazard has missed the last three Chelsea games but is expected to be fit enough to start here this weekend. Olivier Giroud is still missing for the home side, so Alvaro Morata will keep his place. Ross Barkley will also start, keeping Mateo Kovacic out again.
Christian Benteke, Joel Ward and Scott Dann are out long-term for Palace, who will also be without Connor Wickham. James McArthur, Wilfried Zaha and Cheikhou Kouyate are all expected to be fit enough to play.
Potential Chelsea Starting XI: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Kante, Jorginho, Barkley; Willian, Morata, Hazard
Potential Crystal Palace Starting XI: Hennessey; Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Aanholt; Townsend, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur; Ayew, Zaha
Over the last ten meetings between these two, the scores currently read 6-4 in Chelsea's favour. Palace have won two of the last three games against Chelsea, both times by a 2-1 scoreline.
Key Stats & Facts
- Chelsea have scored at least two goals in eight of their last 10 matches in the league.
- This fixture has seen over 2.5 goals in five of the last six meetings in all competitions.
- Crystal palace are without a win in their last five league games.
Betting Odds
- Chelsea – 3/10
- Draw – 23/4
- Crystal Palace – 12/1
The Verdict
Chelsea are on a real roll at the minute, in all competitions, and should be able to secure another three points here.
Even when The Blues have struggled this season, they have had Hazard to dig them out of trouble and, after a few games rest, he should be raring to go here.
Palace don't leak loads of goals and are quite solid defensively, so Chelsea will have to work for it on Sunday but I fancy them to get the job done in the end in a tight affair.
Recommended Bets
- Hazard to score and Chelsea win – 11/10 (SkyBet)
- Chelsea to win 2-1 – 7/1 (Bet365)
