« Beer nuts: Did the Phils make a mistake with Bourn? | Main | A beautiful day, a blowout game ... bring on the Mets »
Couldn't the Phils put Rollins on the berevement list and callup an extra bench player?
Backe has a low ERA but has only made it past the 5th inning once in his three starts this year - which is good, considering Houston's horrible 'pen (I believe it's near last in ERA in the NL.) He shut-out the Marlins through 5 last time out, striking out two, walking five, and allowing 5 hits. 10 base-runners in 5 innings and no runs?
Hey I read on here that there was a way to get around the blackout for the Phils game on mlb.tv by changing your zip code, i was wondering if someone who has done this could tell me where do i go to do this
Carson: I agree, but who would you call up?
Hopefully J-Roll will return soon. If he misses 10 plus games they should have just put him on the DL when he had his injury and called up another player then.
Not official, but ESPN has it:
I mean, why? Werth is the OBP machine right now; why take him out and not Jenkins, who looks lost? It's so patchwork - not even trying to think critically about the lineup composition.
I'm given to hyperbole, and what I'm about to say might well qualify. But I have this feeling that today's outing may well define Brett Myer's season. So far he has had 2 bad games, followed by 1 good one. Myers is a head case and today is sort of a "statement" game. Is he going to revert back to his form of the first 2 games, or is he going to follow up his good performance with another good one? If he reverts to the bad Brett Myers, I have a feeling it's going to stay that way for most of the season.
Malcolm: Completely agreed about Werth (as I posted at the end of last thread).
Sophist: When you mentioned Houston's horrible pen, I was struck by the irony. Ed Wade spent all off-season stock-piling "experienced relievers" for Houston's bullpen. That's exactly what he used to do with the Phillies, with identical results.
To go back to the last thread, I can see where Bourn has a better ability to draw walks than Victorino and a better stolen-base percentage. But Victorino has a little more pop, meaning they're about the same in OPS. Add in the longer MLB track record and I can see why the front office would be more comfortable with Victorino than Bourn as CF for a contending team.
Why no Werth? I don't understand. He's batting .370 with a .514 OBP--which happens to be the highest on the team.
BAP - yeah, I saw it on Cold Pizza this morning (before recalling that ABC and ESPN are affliated, and changing the channel in small protest to their disgusting "debate" last night.)
Obviously, ERA isn't a great measure for relief, since Valverde's performance Tuesday alone could have driven their number down (4 ER in 1/3 an inning) - I mean, Brocail will be good. But it's better than Oswalt. They are 15th in BAA (the Phils are first); 1st in HR against; and 15th in WHIP.
Oh, and unlike the other stats, of course, you don't want to be 1st in HR against. For some reason that one sorts differently.
I suppose Cholly is benching Werth because he doesn't do great against right-handers. But that stat is a little overblown. He wears out left-handers, but he also had a .371 OBP against right-handers last year. And, when your team is struggling mightily on offense, you don't bench one of your only hot bats.
Besides, if you're going to play the lefty-righty game, wouldn't you use Snelling instead of Taguchi? And if you must start Taguchi, then bench the pathetic Jenkins. He's quickly becoming my most hated Philly. Another great use of $15M.
bottom line is.. without rollins AND victorino.. the phils' lineup is going to be weak no matter how you order it
Sophist-Off track for the game chat- but did you read Attytood @ philly.com on last nights debate farce?
Haven't yet; will do if I feel like being angered later today.
BAP-how dare you call Charlie "Cholly"!!! May the ghosts of the Confederacy get you!!!
(best Squonk impression, sans expletives)
I live in the south and "Cholly" is fine with me, by golly!
Benching Werth for Snelling could make some sense. Benching him for Taguchi doesn't really make any sense. Having Taguchi and Dobbs 1st and 2nd doesn't really make any sense either.
We all know Charlie's a great manager, though. He got us to the playoffs last year by making the Mets collapse.
"We all know Charlie's a great manager"
Front page of MLB.com has an ad for the game today: Hot-hitting Werth and the Phils take on the Astros today at 1:05 Eastern. They didn't get the memo.
Do the Phils always wear the alternates for day games?
Brett coming out with just a bit of heat. Touching 98 MPH a few pitches ago.
He pitches about 100% faster than Kendrick in everyway: his time between pitches and his velocity. Hopefully he'll keep some in the tank for the later innings.
Pretty inning for Brett.
He really worked over Bourn, in and out with the fastball, pumping it up a little each pitch until, on 2-2, he worked him inside and took something off it. Bourn never stood a chance.
MLB.com trying something new? The no-announcer game?
So much for criticism of the top of the lineup thus far.
is there play-by-play on TV? I'm getting nothing on MLB TV.
Did anyone see the Steven Colbert all-in-one Philly jersey?
Harry's back.
I'd rather see Myers throw the heat and punch guys out for 6 innings than to nibble in and out of the zone ineffectively for 7-8.
Tag & Dob single...what will the big boys do?
Joe- that was a very astute comment, and I completely agree.
Well K for UTS. Hopefully the Big Man can pull a Santa and deliver the goods.
Goods Delivered
1 big man down, no runs...what will the next 2 do?
Ryan comes through!
Is it a coincidence that the weather is warmer today?
Andy if Howard is Santa does that make Bruntlett and elf?
Burrell delivers!!
warmer weather = better swings. You can see it already.
Pat the Bat places that ball perfectly to drive in the second run.
2 infield singles in as man days for Pat the Bat.
Jenkins jerks one!!!!
I've got a question for the group. How excited are you for tomorrow? I think I'm more excited than I should be, maybe because I'm going and its my first game of the year. I expect an electric atmosphere at CBP tomorrow night. I feel like I'm going to Ali-Frazier I. I'm really pumped.
As I have written repeatedly on this board, I really like the Geoff Jenkins signing.
Not Pat the Foot! Out at the plate, ouch! Up 3-0.
could steve smith be any worse
Waived Pat Burrell home? Bad choice.
I mean, I know he's got two infield singles in the last two games, but not a gamble I like.
Someone tell Smith there was only one out.
Okay... watching the replay... Bourn played it perfect (experience in Philly pays off), made a perfect relay throw and then Tejada make a perfect one-hop relay throw. Guess Smith was betting against the solid play from Houston. Still a bad choice, IMO.
Pun time: Can you say "night and day?"
BAP: I really like Jenkins as well. If you are talking simply about replacing Rowand's offense, he should do that and more. I also think he is a hard nosed competitor. He really showed me something the other night in that comeback when he ignored Steve Smith (Burrell should have as well). His statement was: "There was not way I was not scoring there." Good hard nosed competitor who has a lot of power. He also brings another addition to the goatee club. (Myers, Brutnlett, Lidge, Jenkins, Werth, Howard, Madson, Durbin) Good grief , the whole freaking team has a goatee.
Good first inning for cholly's improbable lieup.
CJ - Smith was spot on with the percentages for getting that run home.
Isn't it nice to see the Phils score three without an HR?
Parker - every time I look at him, I just envision him standing solidly between the petunias; but would it hurt our gnome to take a first pitch once in a while?
Andy - I think the beard adds 5 pounds.
Warm weather = warm bat?
Hot weather = hot bats?
Andy: LOL, the roaming Gnome needs to roam a little further towards the middle of the infield.
How dare Charlie Manuel bat So Taguchi and Greg Dobbs 1st and 2nd in the line-up! That is nothing but a recipe for fail...
never mind.
Gameday says there's a coaching visit to the mound... is Brett too fired up?
Andy, so you'd rather Burrell get an infield single than a HR?
Nice play by the Gnome.
C'mon Myers, you got some runs to work with now, don't blow it!
Parker: I was actually being facetious, because I've been ripping Jenkins for the last few days. On the whole, though, I'm really not that down on him & I wasn't really down on the signing at the time it took place. I do, however, think he comes with some risk, considering that his numbers have been dropping off for the last 2 years & he's no spring chicken. It does set off some alarm bells that he's had a bad start to the season, following on the heels of a bad spring training.
Good job against Erstad after going 10 pitches to the previous batter.
Wicked breaking ball there, Erstadt almost fell down swinging at that and then looked baffled, like what happened.
Nice throw Jenkins!!
2 solid defensive plays in that inning.
Nice, got out of that inning.
I still think comes season's end we'll be please with the Jenkins signing, especially if Manuel contines to play Werth against lefties.
I still hold out hope for Feliz too, but I'm not counting on that happening, but I'm not ruling out the possibility either.
Great job! Now we're even on plays at the plate. Nice job by Coste getting in front of the plate.
Brett Myers batting stance is hilarious. I think it distracted Backe into walking him. Lol.
You gotta love it when they walk our pitcher to start an inning (on four pitches, no less).
So Taguchi=savvy signing. Probably should have been leading off since Rollins went out.
Dobb's just missed that one. If that had been the Cubs it would have been a HR.
Tag- you're it! 2 singles in 2 ab's...nice!
I really like the decision to bench Werth in favor of Taguchi.
I know Taguchi hasn't done much yet this season, but he's a quality bench player and good 5th outfielder to have around. One thing the Phils do have is a very good bench.
Yeah, Chase!
Tough not to get any runs out of that.
I hate rally killing/inning-ending double plays!
If there's one thing you can really give Pat Gillick credit for, it's building a strong bench. He's done it just about every year he's been here.
Every time I think Howard's ready to completely bust of his slump, he does something like ground into an inning-ending DP. I know he'll be alright, but it's frustrating watching him struggle early.
Okay. Now all the humans in the line-up have been on base...if we could only get a decent at bat from our representative of the "wee folk"...
Now see, that's what happens when Howard doesn't strike out. If he had just whiffed, Pat the Bad would have had himself a grand slam.
"If there's one thing you can really give Pat Gillick credit for"
You say that as if the list could go on......
Friar - why couldn't he just strike-out?
Bad = Bat, obvs.
Not really a lot you can say about that situation. Myers could have been more heads-up, but he's a damn pitcher and a pretty chubby one at that. Hamels would have scored, but Hamels is something special.
Michael Bourn should never ever be walked. There are fast baseball players, like Shane Victorino, and then there are Olympic fast athletes playing baseball, like Michael Bourn. Walking him is about the same as giving him a double.
Not trying to split hairs, but the 1st year Patty G was here the Phils had a horrible bench.
Myers should have scored. Terrible base running. Then it's runners at 2nd and 3rd, and Howard's ground ball scores another run. Then Pat bats with a runner on third and 2 out.
Myers bad baserunning really cost us there.
The ability to strike batters out should never be underestimated. That's what makes Myers and Hamels a great 1-2 punch. Moyer and Kendrick are ok, but they pitch to far too much contact.
Myers shoulda run because even if he had gotten thrown out we woulda blamed it on Smith. Brett should know that.
I just read that Tejada is 33 going on 34 instead of his believed age of 31...uh-oh, somebody has been lying about more than just HGH.
Where's Davethom? Coste just drove in the fourth run with a double!
coste making a case for some more playing time
They don't score without HRs
Yea, Carson, the Houston game announcers remarked about Tejada's new age today. Can lying about one's age negate a long term contract? The Astros will be paying big bucks for some elderly years.
Glad to see the bench giving this team a lift early although I was surprised to see Jenkins start and Werth sit.
See if Myers is going to be an ace today. They got him a lead.
I hope all these stranded base runners don't haunt us ... again.
Many Hispanic players have discovered discrepencies in their actual birthdates...happens more than people realize.

Prince William And Kate Middleton in Cream Coat In Cambridge
Kate Middleton and Prince William Visit Their Namesake Town, Cambridge!
Kate Middleton visited Cambridge last night with her husband, Prince William. It was a drop-in to their namesake city, since William and Kate have the respective titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Kate was decked out in a cream Max Mara coat with a pair of L.K. Bennett shoes for the visit. After taking the train from London's King's Cross station, Kate and William visited the town's Guildhall. Though both William and Kate went to college in Scotland, at St. Andrew's, they made the rounds today at prestigious English school Cambridge University. It's the latest event in a busy week for the royals. On Tuesday night, Kate attended a special event at London's Natural History Museum. Over the weekend, Kate and William were at home in Wales, where they attended a special Wales vs. New Zealand rugby match in Cardiff.

The Brooklyn Paper takes another look at the crackdown on underpaying Park Slope restaurants. An anonymous chef estimates that fifty percent of all hospitality labor in the Slope is undocumented something owners say puts them in a bind. But lest you think these ilegales are being exploited, a couple of restaurateurs chime in to say how much theyre appreciated. Theyre here to work. Theyre not here to f around, as opposed to some culinary kid just out of school who has something to prove, says the anonymous chef. Martin Medina, owner of Rachels on Fifth Avenue, puts it this way: The immigrants I love, its the Americans I hate. But the rhetoric is accompanied by another account in which an anonymous dishwasher at one of the cited restaurants speaks out.
The 28-year-old immigrant currently gets paid $260 per week, and estimates it will take him a year of working twelve-hour days, six days per week, to make back the $4,000 he spent to get here from Guatemala. Until the Labor Department raid, he wasn't allowed to eat or drink as much as a soda at work.
You dont come here to have fun, dress well or eat what you want. You try to save money, avoid things, not dress well, not eat whatever one wants. I send about $300 home a week. I get tips, roughly $90 or $100. I dont spend much and I save as much as possible. If I spent a lot, I wouldnt be able to send this much money. I dont spend much. I live in Coney Island and come here on bicycle. I dont use the subway.

Shades Of Grey Lyrics - Billy Joel
Review The Song (3)
Some things were perfectly clear,
seen with the vision of youth
No doubts and nothing to fear,
I claimed the corner on truth
These days it's harder to say
I know what I'm fighting for
My faith is falling away
I'm not that sure anymore
Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colors I see
Once there were trenches and walls
and one point of every view
Fight 'til the other man falls
Kill him before he kills you
These days the edges are blurred,
I'm old and tired of war
I hear the other man's words
I'm not that sure anymore
Shades of grey are all that I find
When I look to the enemy line
Black and white was so easy for me
But shades of grey are the colors I see
Now with the wisdom of years
I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear
are those who never have doubts
Save us all from arrogant men,
and all the causes they're for
I won't be righteous again
I'm not that sure anymore
Shades of grey are all that I find
when I look to the enemy line
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colours I see
Shades of grey wherever I go
The more I find out the less that I know
There ain't no rainbows shining on me
Shades of grey are the colors I see

shades of war | Reviewer: tyler | 9/7/11
this song is really true when he says black and white were so easy for me i think he means before war he was sure about certain things but when you go to war youre not very sure about right and wrong you are just trying to survive
Should be compulsory listening | Reviewer: Bill McLoughlin | 11/28/10
Have often come back to listen to this - every time I make the mistake of watching a current affairs program or listening to politicians - no one under thirty should be able to avoid an examination on the philosophy put out here by Billy Joel - it should certainly be subject of a critical exam in high schools, arts, law and political science courses!!
A Wiser Billy Joel... | Reviewer: vanessa houk | 6/27/08
I love this song and I think the lyrics resonate truth for many things...war, poverty, death penalty and probably others that I am not thinking of.
Billy Joel always gives us lyrics we can live by.

By this point, we are all familiar (if not overly familiar) with Toyota's troubles with floor mats, unintended acceleration, biggest-ever recall, etc. And if you're not familiar with Toyota's woes from reading this site, perhaps you've heard about Consumer Reports' investigation into ToMoCo's troubles. Well, guess what? The gang over at Car and Driver decided to launch their own inquisition into FloorMatGate.
Here's how they set up the tests. C/D took a V6 Camry, a Infiniti G37 Convertible and a supercharged, 540-horsepower Roush Ford Mustang. The Camry is
Here's the methodology: First they recorded each car's 70-0 mph braking distances with a closed throttle (i.e. foot off the gas). Then they recorded 70-0 mph braking distances with an open throttle (foot on the gas). Next, they upped the ante to 100 mph for both closed and open throttle tests. The results are actually quite interesting, and we will share with you that a Toyota Camry under wide open throttle can stop from 70 mph one foot shorter than a 2010 Ford Taurus under normal braking. Also, it's best to take your foot off the gas in a 540-hp Roush when you're going 100 mph and want to stop. Unless you have 903 feet to spare. Just sayin.'

I feel like I always get little stains on my skin too... here is some info from websites (I haven't tried these but maybe you will have some luck): I've heard cigarette ash or hydrogen peroxide can be used... and also: From: How to Remove Hair Dye from Skin - Associated Content Dye Removes Dye Like many stains, it often takes the stain producing product to actually remove the stain. The strongest cleaners won't remove coffee stains from some counter tops or other hard surfaces, but use a little coffee while scrubbing the stain, and amazingly, it comes right off. The same goes for hair dye. The following method of color removal is recommended by professional hair stylists. While in the shower, use leftover hair dye to remove the dye from stained skin. Simply apply leftover hair dye to the dyed areas of your skin, apply it as you would soap, and rub the stained skin using a circular motion. Immediately afterwards, wash the area with shampoo or soap and a washcloth. The color should come off like magic. Baking Soda and Dishwashing Liquid This is a home remedy that is said to work well for some people. Simply mix equal parts of baking soda with dishwashing liquid. Apply this mixture to a damp washcloth, and rinse off the baking soda and dishwashing liquid along with the dye. Dishwashing liquid that contains lemon is said to be the best choice. Try Toothpaste Toothpaste is good for more than cleaning teeth. Toothpaste is used for cleaning a number of surfaces other than teeth, and many people have found toothpaste to work well at removing dye from the hands, ears, neck, and face. Toothpaste doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth a try since toothpaste is cheap and readily accessible. Commercial Hair Dye Remover If you try the above home remedies to no avail, consider buying commercial hair dye remover. You can find hair dye remover at most beauty supply stores. Follow product label instructions for best results, and keep it on hand for future use.

Just dyed my hair this weekend- dark brown - I also got dye on face and ears. I used facial scrub (St. Ives) then used my oil that I clean my skin with (olive oil and castor oil mixed) Hope this helps.

I have nothing else to add, you got some good recs there. Is the stain around your scalp? if nothing works, it should come off subsequently within a couple of days when you shower. Good luck!

This Monday marked the return of the gigantic, five-patty Tower Cheeseburger to fast food chain Lotteria. Unfortunately, it was only back for a day, but hey, we figured this limited availability was actually a blessing in disguise. After all, you feel a lot less guilty eating that much meat in a single sitting when you know it's the sort of rare opportunity you won't have the chance to make a habit of.
But with just one day to get their Tower Cheeseburgers, no doubt a lot of fans weren't able to clear out their schedules for a run to their local Lotteria. We're guessing the blow was softened a bit, though, when they saw that the reality of their burger dream didn't look anywhere near as mouth-watering as it did in Lotteria's ads.

Remember Me
Most of us say "thanks" without thinking.
July 14--The federal trial for farming brothers Aaron Scott Johnson and Derek Martin Johnson of Northwood, N.D., has been delayed to Dec. 1. The Johnsons are accused of adding chemicals to potato seed production to fraudulently receive crop insurance compensation.
The trial initially was set to start July 15 in Fargo, but the Johnsons and their lawyer asked for more time to prepare. Prosecutor Nick Chase earlier said the court case could take seven to 10 days.
The case was filed in January 2014 and more allegations were added in April. Prosecutors say that from 2002 to 2010, the Johnsons and their Johnson Potato Co. received indemnity payments totaling more than $2 million, as well as crop disaster payments. They allegedly falsely reported that stored crops were damaged from soft rot, including $159,000 for the 2006 crop. They raised irrigated potatoes in the Cooperstown, N.D., area and nonirrigated potatoes elsewhere.
The Johnsons allegedly applied Rid-X, a chemical for dissolving solid materials in septic systems, and spoiled and rotten frozen potatoes to their stored crop in order to speed up deterioration. They are also accused of placing heaters in the warehouse.

I started using this powder a couple months ago and here's what it does for me
-It gives me a soft ethereal airbrushed look
-The coverage is fantastic for me I even stopped using foundation
-Very blendable. No matter how much I apply it still looks like its not there. Never cakes. I use a face brush to apply it but the puff that comes with it is just as good. So go with whatever you prefer
-My face breaks out from almost anything, it did not break out with this powder
-It is messy, but it's a loose powder so I don't expect it to be neat
-I keep the mesh sifter on top of the plastic sifter which makes the amount picked up by my brush evened-out. So don't throw the mesh sifter, it'll save you time and product amount used per application!
My only problem is that it's so bulky I can't travel around with it so I use an empty face creme container for that. It is expensive, but I don't care cuz it does such an amazing job. Will repurchase definitely.

This is a very good loose powder . I purchased this based on the reviews here. I was deliberating between this and laura mercier which is also rated highly.
After application it is not apparent that you are wearing a powder.
It also appears to minimise the appearance of pores
i wanna love this product. i was so excited to try this and very happy when i saw my face in the mirror. flawless and pretty. after 15 mins, it turned out so dark. i am very acidic and i always get 2-3 shades lighter than my skin tone. but i really had a hard time looking for the perfect shade on Nars loose powder. the SA gave up and offered to help me find my shade from other brands. im very disappointed. i am asian and have yellow tone.

Great powder! It lasts the whole day and gives great coverage. The two problems I have with this powder is the price and the packaging. I hate the container! It leaves a mess everywhere and I don't think I could travel with this powder. But I would highly recommend this product. I have this in Beach and it blends in great with my skin. I could use this alone with concealer or over my foundation.
Update: I realized Beach would go on very nice and matte for the first hour but then it gets dark on me later on in the day and makes my face look a bit oily. Perhaps I need to find a better shade? I'm taking off a lippie sadly =(

I've been using this powder in Flesh for over a year now and I still haven't finish a box yet eventhough I use it everyday (yes, it'a bit pricey but you get a lot of powder in it).
The thing that I love about this powder is that it doesn't oxidize on me. I've used Clinique and MAC, but nothing compared to this one. But like other MUAers here, I hate the packaging. It's hard for travelling. I hope they'll improve the packaging.
Overall, I'm really happy with this product. I got mine with 40% discount, but even without the discount I would buy it at normal price. Definitely will repurchase.
After much to-ing and fro-in between NARS and Chanel (based on the reviews here, mainly), I decided to opt for the NARS Loose Powder and bought Eden online, as I thought it would be the closest match for my NW25 skin. Thankfully I was pretty much spot-on with my shade selection - although I think if I was any darker I'd have to go for the next darkest shade and perhaps blend the two shades to get a spot-on match. Eden is a warm light beige and I thought it might be too warm, but it's just about perfect.
The packaging (rounded square container with two sifters) is a bit impractical and I think if I want to transport the powder anywhere I'm going to have to put some in a smaller jar and touch up that way. I threw out the mesh sifter so I'm just using the plastic sifter to control how much powder comes out. I do like the puff though - I've never really used loose powders before and the puff seems to do a good job to applying the product to my skin. The amount you get for the price (online it was about AU$40, it retails for AU$80...) is very reasonable.
The powder itself is completely matte and literally melts into my skin, it's that finely-milled. I can't really overapply it, or at least you can't tell if I do, because it just blends so well. It gives fantastic coverage and I've found that if I apply the powder by itself, then I don't really need foundation. My face looks almost airbrushed with Eden on. It also sets my makeup and makes it last much longer. There's nothing to dislike - it's great!

MAC Sheer Select has been an HG for years BUT the colors did not match quite well and had way too much pigment. NC40 was terribly light while NC45 made me look muddy. I caved and picked this up at Sephora and I just felt so luxurious putting this on! The case it comes in is so practical and cute. The amount is great for the price. And the powder itself is amazing. Very finely milled, lightweight and the color is just perfect for me. For something that is so finely milled it does sure have a lot of coverage cuz I dont even need to wear foundation with this!!! For reference I am an NC45 in MAC and wear this in Mountain. UPDATE: The quality of this powder is superb but I have to take one lippie off because the darkest shade, mountain, has a tendency to look ashy on my dark/golden skintone. If you are a dark skinned lady and know how to work your loose powder (I admit I suck at it), I still say go for it because this product is nothing short of amazing.

-Makes my skin look flawless
-It is very smooth in texture, my skin doesn't look cakey as it does with most loose powders
-It goes on very lightly, really evens out my skin tone and gives my skin that "finishing touch"
-Packaging could be a little better
I love this loose powder. I have never been a big fan of loose powders, as I have never found one that I've liked enough to re-purchase. NARS Loose Powder has completely changed my mind. It gives my skin an impeccable finish. I bought this in "Flesh", which is pinker in color (and I tend to be more yellow-toned) but it still works surprisingly well on my skin. A HG. continued >>

The color was perfect. The texure was soft. It has good coverage for a powder. I thought I found my perfect powder. That was until I started breaking out. I stopped using the powder and my skin cleared. I used it again just for going out at nite and washed it off before bed. I woke up with 3 new pimples....
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really love this powder. It is definitely just a loose powder and does not offer much as far as coverage. Even though it is very light, it gives that perfect airbrushed and polished look to your face and does help to cover blotchiness and red areas. I have pretty fair skin that can become uneven very easily, and this powder help to cover any red areas after i use concealer. It is really light and does not feel oily of heavy at all. I use it every day and it has never made me break out or emphasized my pores. I usually put it on over my blush to tone it down a bit. The only con about this product is the packaging. It is so big (which is good i guess cause i don't think I'll ever run out) that it does not travel well. I soon found out that the best way to carry it is to stuff tissue in the top so it does not totally spill out everywhere when you open it.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The latest resident of Lee County Domestic Animal Services isn't your typical pound pup. Little Trixie was found on the streets walking upright, relying entirely on her two front legs.
Seven-year old Chihuahua Trixie is anything but your average lap dog.
"When she's being held, you think she's just a regular Chihuahua. And you put her on the floor, and she starts walking and it's just amazing," said Ria Brown of Lee County Domestic Animal Services.
Trixie's mode of transportation: two paws, instead of four. She's paralyzed from the pelvis down, an old injury she learned to live with.
"Whatever happened, whether it was a car accident or some other kind of injury, it wasn't cared for. She doesn't look like she had veterinary care. So she just healed, and learned to compensate by walking on her front legs," Brown said Tuesday.
Cape Coral police officers found Trixie wandering the streets just off Pelican Boulevard. They quickly scooped her up, but not before the Chihuahua caused a small scene of her own.
"We had two cars following each other in tandem down the roadway. The lead vehicle, if you will, saw this little dog dart out in front of the road, jammed on the brakes. Unfortunately, the vehicle behind the lead one was following too close behind and couldn't brake in time," Lt. Tony Sizemore of Cape Coral Police Department said Tuesday.
Despite a life of darting cars, vets say Trixie is in overall good shape. She needed some dental work and her nails trimmed, but aside from that, they say the homeless Chihuahua is healthy. In fact, she's keeping staffers on their toes.
"You think maybe she'd take a few steps and stop. But she can go for quite a while just on those two little front legs," Brown laughed.
Their wish for the wonder dog? Finally, a forever place to call home.
"One where she's just loved and she can give love to somebody," Brown said.
Lee County Domestic Animal Services is currently accepting adoption applications for Trixie. They say she's best suited for a quiet, adult home.
For more information, visit Lee County Animal Services' website at www.leelostpets.com, or call them at 239-533-7387.

Get me back to Ketosis Quick!!
I'm on ~wk4... went out and drank alcohol... didn't stay down very long:sick: then was starving so i finally gave in and ate a chocolate king cone and 7-11 brownie:cry:... I knew exactly what i was doing...I'm a recovering chocoholic:o and I'm just surprised I lasted this long not having ANY. I need to get back on Ketosis quick before my Counselor loses her mind with me... I'm getting to the point where I almost don't want to be honest with her because she always gets this look of dissapointment... I've read from the Atkins Forum to flush with water and eat just red meat....Please advise me EXACTLY what to do.... have NOT started doing any exercise.
I need a swift kick in the :stars:
I've done really well even with my drinking mistakes but know I can't go on like this forever.
I'm not a medi person, so just ignore me if this rubs the medis the wrong way...
You can't atone for your carb sins. Just pick yourself up and eat right immediately. Water and meat doesn't make it right. Just go back to your plan.
Slip ups are human, and they are not a bad thing if you LEARN from them. You will have temptations your whole life. How could you have done better? How will you resist next time?
As to your Counselor, she is your employee, right? You are paying her. She is there to help you. Don't you be letting her diss you. You are doing the best you can. Be strong.
In the meantime, dont beat yourself up and go back to week 1 basics. You'll be fine.
Like someone else posted, you are being too hard on yourself. We all have our moments. The deal is moving forward as if it never happened. Don't punish yourself and don't deprive yourself. One lapse will not destroy your progress. It is when you let guilt overtake you and the one lapse turns into a weekend, then into a week, ... and then you stop coming in because you feel bad. That is when you need us more than ever.
Believe me, we are all far from perfect.
DivaS - I am curious about your stats - you only want to lose 8.5 lbs?

March Madness is HERE! The Cyclones and Hawkeyes are in, so the madness is reaching a fever pitch in central Iowa. But before you turn those final sheets in, let's talk "bracketology".
First of all, no one cares about your brackets. Unless specifically asked, assume people don't care who you've got for first round upsets or going to the Final Four. Please don't bore everybody with constant Facebook status updates talking about your stupid brackets.
Someone kick me in the head if I ever pick Bill Full-of-Him-Self and Kansas to win the entire thing. I think the cheer is supposed to be "Rock CHOKE Jayhawk". The same is true for Arizona, Duke, and any team coached by Steve Alford.
If you've watched a lot of college basketball and pour over stats and analysis, you're not going to win the office pool. The office pool will be won by the lady in human resources who picks teams based on uniform colors and how cute she thinks the coach is. Or Rosie the Dog, who only picks dog mascots and refuses to advance any team that ends in "cats".
Don't be lured into entering the Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge. ESPN has been doing a bracket contest for 13 years and one one has ever come close to perfection. ESPN's John Driver said it best, saying"I don't want to say it's impossible, but it's basically impossible". As in 1 in 9 quintillion. But Quicken Loans will be the big winner, gathering all that information about where you live and how much you still owe on your mortgage.
Got too much March Madness? Maybe, if you hear Dickie V in your dreams…and swear Clark Kellogg just passed you in the skywalk…and One Shining Moment makes you cry like a baby….and you've started referring to your younger son as a "strong 2 seed". Try to remember it's only a game. Or a lot of games. And remind me of that when the Cyclones make a run at the FINAL FOUR BABY!!! (And Go Hawks too)

Just wondering if anyone has ever almost been sleeping (or almost awake) and has seen through (what I call) someone elses eyes? A few times I found myself in someone's bedroom, or having a conversation with someone. I've never been in these rooms (in real life) or ever met these people.
Is this a form of astral travel? I have found now that if I close my eyes and try really hard I'll end up somewhere else. Does anyone know what this is, or has it happened to you?
I have also had converdations via the phone with friends and can see what they're looking at, even if I've never been to thier house before.
Please let me know if anyone can do this, or similar.

Kia Expansion Tanks provide a place for the engine's coolant to expand as it is heated, stopping the cooling system from cracking or boiling over, or cooling fluid from overflowing from the car's cooling system. Your car's Kia Expansion Tank is an important part of the coolant system, which prevents your vehicle's engine from becoming too hot and allows your vehicle to uphold the right temperature. The Kia Expansion Tank is a tank which allows antifreeze and air within a car's coolant system to increase in volume due to a rise in temperature and pressure. When you have any concerns about our accessories, our customer support people are available by telephone or by e-mail - with the usual outstanding commitment to the customer!
Great price, good quality, perfect fit. OE without the OE price. Would buy it again if I get another one to fix.
I found out about this particular site while I was looking for parts. Im extremly satisfied with the speed and prices.

There are some issues: for example in EUR, CSV import does not allow decimals.
Support is also non-existent: i left 2 questions on the English forum which after one month had no reaction, but this is understandable for a free component.
All in all, the perfect component for the task that I needed if for, giving only 4 stars out of 5 because of the decimals problem and the complete absence of support.
Still, great stuff! :)
Unfortunately I can not always pay attention on the users free component. Especially now, when I'm busy of huge work on a adaptation components of family IPrice for Joomla 3.x. When the hard work is over, I'll try to pay more attention to the free versions of the component
I installed it and tried all the options, and each and every one of them is ugly, and not one of them is like the screenshot above or like Pinterest...
Also worth saying: includes a backlink that cannot be removed.
Have you tried asking us for help ?
Do you know how to use it ?
Are there any javascript errors on your site or conflict javascript library ?
No possibility to remove the background.
Would be nice if you mentioned this instead of having people find out for themselves...
If you have any question about the extension, you can ask it on the forum.
If you want to modify images, use "Use thumbnails" parameter in module settings.
The XML sitemap worls well, but the html sitemap has a mind of it's own.
Currently my html sitemap is correct excep for one menu item, for which it obstinately refuses to expand and show the article links. This category/menu has exactluy the same setting as the other ones, but it won't expand.
Sadly I'll have to go look for another extension. One that expands ALL categories.
Pity about the bad transition to 2.5, xmap for 1.5 was much more solid.

Sharad.Patil Started The Discussion:
Dear Sirs,
What is the impact of M.P. High Court's recent judgment whcih laid down the principle for treatment of certain allowances like conveyance, special allowance etc as component of Basic Wages for the purpose of Provident Fund liabilities if the same are being paid uniformly, necessarily and ordinarily to all employees. The same may be utilized as per merits of the case.
Whats is the possible way out as it will hike up the company's wage budget.
Pls advise.
Dear Sharad,
You can add the recent Madras High Court ruling (elsewhere I have posted it in this forum) on these type of allowances also.
In near future, there will be only two to three components in the salary structures like Basic and DA, HRA, and some allowances like Washing Allowance etc.,
Nowadays,as all the salaries are fixed in CTC., the change in components will not affect much. Modifications with in the salary will be made without altering the CTC.
For earning over 15000,these ruling will not made any significant impact in salary structures.
Let us wait for some more comments from our members...
Excellent HR Services,
rajeshbknair - Member Since: Sep 2010
Regarding the Judgements of highcourts of MP and Madras and the Circular dated 23rd May 2011 — Is it going to have any retrospective implications?
Dear Sethupathy Sir,
If we say that person earning over 15k, these ruling will not make any significant effect.
In that case suppose person is earning Rs. 60,000/- per month which includes basic Rs. 20,000/- and other component like HRA Special Allow, Med. Allow etc.
In case employer's contribution is Rs. 2734/- now will be hiked to TWO TIMES beacuse of inclusion of other component (Spl allo etc) for PF applicability. The overall wage budget of the company is hiked.
Pls advise.
Dear Sharad, As per Statutory norms you have to contribute only for 6500. S.Sethupathy, Erode
Sir, My say was that in case company is contrubuting 12% on basic even if basic is higher that 6500/- (mostly in all the big companies ) then impact will be there on budget. Thanks

Lace up those shoes kids, it's walk to school time!
The school year is back in session and we are seeing more and more kids walking and biking to school. Thanks to Bridging the Gap (BTG), five elementary schools around Seattle have new and improved walking routes in 2012.
This year, Highland Park Elementary, Greenlake Elementary, Sanislo Elementary, Dearborn Park Elementary and TOPS at Seward Elementary schools were recipients of funding from the BTG Safe Routes to School Program.
Highland Park Elementary School in Southwest Seattle was the largest project this year. Improvements around the school include a new all-way stop at 9th Avenue SW and SW Henderson Street; a new marked crosswalk and curb ramps at 10th Avenue SW and 11th Avenue SW and SW Trenton Street; and speed cushions were installed on 10th Avenue between SW Trenton and SW Thistle. A matching grant was received to help pay for the improvements.
Improvements at the other schools include the installation of new curb ramps, marked crosswalks, sidewalk repairs and a new sidewalk funded in partnership with the Neighborhood Street Fund program.
The Safe Routes to School program works closely with school staff, students and parents to identify barriers and solutions to make walking and biking safer and more accessible. In the first five years of the program, 25 schools have received improvements to routes leading to the schools.
For additional information on the Safe Routes to School Program please visit their webpage and for information about the BTG Program please visit its webpage.

What is the best way to ensure a Safe Route for Bailey/Gazert now that a streetcar wraps around the entire Elementary School at 12th & Jackson?
I give SDOT a lot of credit for getting all of the corner ramps done. I have one problem though. How come there is always a puddle that forms at the street level ? Is this not a design flaw. You have to step into a puddle when it rains. or slip on an ice patch when it will surely freeze. Lots of money spent to have a safety flaw. Plus a liability for the city.

Hunt empties broadband funding pot across Blighty
Culture secretary Jeremy Hunt ambitiously declared earlier this year that he wanted Britain to be gifted with the fastest broadband network in Europe by 2015. But as of today that plan remains a huge challenge, given that its success is heavily reliant on endorsement and big financial subsidies from local authorities and the …
Why not invest the money raise from the 4g auctions into our broadband infrastructor
So what are they planning on doing with that 4 billion they are expecting to raise from the sell of 4G here a idea how about they invest it in the country broadband infrastructure, provide FTTH to the home in cities and towns across the country or are they planning on saving it for tax cuts which they will announce just befor the next general election.
The fastest?
I'd be quite content with just receiving the speed I pay for.
We're anticipating the benefits of this quite soon
Our local authority has entered into a deal with a relatively local supplier (presumaly set up to respond to anticipated demand, have to respect them for that) to offer us a wifi ISP
Very pleased (if it works, but our Urban Wimax has also proved good in the City so I'm hopeful)
He should have announced 'unlimited' funding
... then he could have claimed 'up to' x amount , that way reflecting the same lies as the industry is used to.
I like it!
And a reasonable use policy to boot. Perfick.
Que? Trusting local authorities?
Epic fail.
There is a reasoned argument to put forward that the UK Riots have roots in how local councils have managed themselves.
Trusting local councils to deliver requires (as Labour observed) that funds be ringfenced along with a legal commitment (a law) to make sure that central government money (eg tax payers dosh) is spent as intended.
Otherwise (just like a teenager?) the intended spend will be decided on to a local project.
Formula One
The Beeb should be able to sort out the funding issues with all the money it is saving from not having Formula One any more
This is just silly
Financial Crisis,
Police, Hospital, Ambulance Service cuts,
Mass scale rioting,
Public transport cuts,
Piss poor interest rates,
HUGE taxes,
Massive Debts....
But we've got really fast internet...
Rather like HS2
I can see that there are substantial costs, but can anyone explain what benefits there may be from having a 1Gbps Internet link to every home? (Apart from the ability to download copies of every Star Trek episode ever made in a couple of hours.)
What a complete and utter ...
... hulture secretary.
A question
Who gets to "own" whatever is put into the ground?
I mean, if we give (say) £500 million to BT or Fujitsu, so they will put in some cables, do we (as in The Taxpayer) get to charge BT/Fujitsu for their use? Does this mean some of the comms infrastructure going back into Government hands?
Or are we just giving money to a private concern so it can charge us for the money we we gave it?
@AC 12:13pm
It should hardly come as a surprise, since the current government seem intent to remove ringfencing from everything (presumably with the intention that when the budget is cut, they can point the finger of blame at LAs / schools / privatised services rather than themselves).
FTTC may work for urban areas (cities / towns / village centres) but more far-flung properties are going to need something other than variations on a theme of ADSL. Some form of nationwide wireless access would be useful - for a start it would enable social care assessments to be completed electronically, from the client's home, directly onto the local authority's social care database rather than on paper (as has been traditional) or offline tools (which mean the assessment is lost if the laptop / tablet is lost / stolen between the client's home and the office).
the London subsidy
This must be yet another part of that London subsidy I hear people whinging about. Well since I appear to be paying to wire up Mr Reeve's country estate so all the family can enjoy HD porn how about they shut it for just a little bit.
Anyway no doubt Mr Reeve will still decide he only wishes to spend £7.20 a month so his packets will now wizz ever so quickly down various bits of expensively installed shiny optical fibre before crashing into the same contented mess of 'bandwidth management' processors and oversubscribed backhaul links.

A simple idea perfectly executed. It deserves a place among your favourite Wii Channels. [May 2010, p.75]
Not only are the physics in the game absolutely spot-on, but the intuitive control scheme made possible by the Wii Remote makes playing the game easy and fun.
With two-player co-op and versus modes adding a welcome dose of multiplayer fun to the package, Art of Balance is nothing short of essential.
What sounds basic is a surprisingly compelling physics-based head-scratcher. [July 2010, p.95]
An ingenious puzzle game, with an extremely high number of levels and a deep gameplay.
By combining addictive gameplay with simple controls and throwing in two fun multiplayer modes for good measure, Shin'en aims to please.
Yet another solid addition to the growing roster of great WiiWare games, Art of Balance proves its makers' pedigree yet again, with a solid concept backed by great physics, sublime music and striking visuals.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2
Apr 7, 2011As the review says: a simple idea, very nicely executed. I really enjoyed the Art of Balance ... for as long as it lasted. Only a cheap game, but it would have benefited from a bit more challenge. One or two levels really get you thinking, but the majority are fairly brief and getting through all 4 levels only takes 2 or 3 hours. Lots of potential here for community content, or for a Tetris style time challenge, or at least a World of Goo style open-ended height challenge. Still, for a few Wii Points you certainly can't go wrong. A particularly nice water shader gives a satisfying effect to the whole thing. Calm, fairly challenging, very satisfying. Highly recommended.… Expand

(Atlanta-WILX) A rep for country singer Tim McGraw says the singer 'swatted' a fan at a concert last weekend in Atlanta.
TMZ.com has posted two video's of the incident. McGraw is seen walking,singing, and interacting with fans on a catwalk as he performs "Truck Yeah" At one point a fan, grabs his leg, appears to not let him go, that's when he is seen in the grainy video, slapping her. She is then quickly taken away by security.
The singers rep is placing blame on the fan, and issued this statement.
" At the end of the night during the encore, Tim was singing out in the audience and someone firmly grabbed onto his leg and wouldn't let go as he was moving through the crowd, He instinctively swatted to try and keep them from ripping his jeas (which they succeeded at doing), and so he could get to more fans who were trying to slap hands with him before the end of the show. He didn't know who had grabbed him and was trying to keep his pants from being torn"
McGraw is headlining the Faster Horses Festival tonight on the grounds of Michigan International Speedway.

When you imagine South Meck and the legacy it creates you don't always think of who has walked the same hallways as we do. Yet South Meck has been home to some amazing people but as well fantastic athletes, politicians and leaders. One of those people who has graced sabre nation was Mayor Pro Tem Patrick Cannon.
The down to earth and very interesting mayoral candidate doesn't exactly seem like the political type upon having a conversation with him. Mr. Cannon really speaks to every person he's addressing as an individual and not a voter which nowadays is a rarity in local, state and national politics. The father of two has been the most recent candidate to throw in his hat in the upcoming mayoral race after the departure of Anthony Foxx as he becomes the U.S. Secretary of the Department Of Transportation.
Mr. Cannon started off early becoming the youngest person to ever be elected to city office by the age of 26. Cannon has also become the longest-serving Mayor Pro Tem with 8 terms under his belt. While being politically active Cannon is also an entrepreneur with a business that he manages and a radio show on 105.3 that he hosts every Saturday morning called "Aiming with Cannon". So to say the least Patrick Cannon is a busy man. His passion for community service and activism slowly developed as Cannon began thinking about politics when he was approached to run at age of 26. "I've always had a servant-leaders heart of wanting to give back to my community and help people so engaging in politics ended up being a natural fit," says Cannon.
The role of Mayor is seen as the lead person who is a representation of the city of Charlotte; it represents the culture we nurture here in the QC. As a candidate Cannon is ready to address issues such as providing more private and public sector opportunities, job creation and housing.
Mr. Cannon does not only represent the city of Charlotte as one of the 2013 mayoral candidates but also his alma mater South Mecklenburg High School! Cannon explained that he wanted to attend an advanced high school and South Meck was the perfect place to be. Cannon's time at South Meck helped to influence his entrepreneurial and leadership skills but not so much his interest in politics. We asked…
Q. Did your time at South Meck or N.C. A&T help to spark your interest in politics?
A. Actually it didn't. Although I was vice-president of DECA at South Mecklenburg where Eileen O'keefe was President, I didn't consider politics at any real point and time during my high school or collegiate years. That being the case, I've always had a servant leaders heart of wanting to give back to my community and help people, so engaging in politics ended up being a natural fit.
Cannon emphasized that his time at South Meck played a critical role in his development and provided the foundation for his future pursuits post-secondary school.
Patrick Cannon is one of our many alumni who have continued on to make an impact in their community. Cannon wears the badge of a Sabre with pride and is an example of the remarkable feats you can accomplish as a member of the South Meck family.
The 2013 Mayoral Election can determine if the Mayor of Charlotte is a South Meck alum! To support or learn more about Mr. Cannon visit cannonformayor.com!

[Hanne Kolstø]
In a bit of a work slump right now? Welcome to #PlayTime, Grazia Daily's new music feature bringing you a different hot track every day of the week. From just-dropped music premieres to cool covers and throwback classics, its the new soundtrack to your afternoon.
Ahh.. Thursdays. The end of the week is looming and we're all a little bit sleepy and stressed, right? Well, we have *just* the thing to soothe your weary head: the new video from Hanne Kolstø.
'The Clinch' is pretty much the audio equivalent of the perfect afternoon nap. Listen to it on repeat for half an hour and you'll feel like you spent a week chilling out in an enchanted Scandi forest. That's probs because Norwegian singer Hanne took inspiration from the silence of solo hikes in her home country for third album 'Stillness And Panic' which FYI was recorded on instruments in her childhood home... and a chapel.
Nominated for a Norwegian Grammy in 2012, Hanne's known from her 'ugly beautiful' sound. It's a combination of day-to-day noises, electronica and - oh yeah - her dad's brass band.
The video of 'The Clinch' is pretty awesome too. The spooky clip features a group of people painting a circular screen as it's fed through a lightbox in a mysterious location. It feels kinda fantasy fiction meets Chinese shadow puppet show. Definitely worth checking out.
Are you a fan of the track? Let us know on Twitter.
