Skinlogics Lash Enhancing Eye Makeup Remover
This is an excellent detergent-based eye-makeup remover for all skin types.
Gentle Touch Makeup Remover
Compared to many other makeup removers, this one steps things up a notch by providing antioxidants and anti-irritants.
Add to Faves?
Makeup removers are not essential but they can be very helpful (and sometimes absolutely necessary) for removing long-wearing or waterproof formulas. All of the makeup removers on the Best Products list:
If you routinely wear eye makeup, consider using a makeup remover around your eye area at least once weekly. Doing so can go a long way toward preventing eye irritation (including puffiness) from leaving tiny bits of makeup residue around your eyes each night (we're talking about the makeup you may have missed using your face cleanser). Over time, this buildup can become encrusted along the upper and lower lash line, leading to problems you may not think to blame on your eye makeup.
Keep in mind that a cotton swab soaked in makeup remover works great for taking off stubborn eyeliner or waterproof mascara at lash roots, and is easier to control than a cotton pad.
And lastly, remember to be gentle in the eye area: don't tug, pull, or wipe around eyes in an aggressive manner. Doing so can enhance sagging and wrinkles, two things no one one wants to see increase!

Ok. I got back from a 10 day OBX vacation a few days ago. I saw some dumb sh!t, at least in my mind. So New Rules:
1. While it great for people to learn to surf and enjoy the ocean, PLEASE, at least know how to swim first! No joke, I saw a 45 yr old man learning to surf wearing a life perserver! Really? It didn't help he was inside at the first peak at the lighthouse, but that's another story
2. If you insist on teaching someone how to surf, PLEASE, at least know how to surf yourself. I saw a few people trying to teaching their kids to surf, and they couldn't stand up themselves. Beginners need to learn etiquette and safety and that ain't happening.
So what's up with all those NSP boards? Are surf shops who rent boards ruining the line up for everyone else? Touchy subject - it's great for the shops. Great for the people who want to try surfing for a day or two. But pretty much ruins the line up for anyone who knows what they're doing. The lighthouse was seriously over run with novices creating SERIOUSLY dangerous situations. Just a fact of life I suppose with the popularity of surfing on the rise. But seriously, why does someone from Quebec need to learn to surf anyhow? And why is the OBX overrun with folks from Quebec?

Bouncy Castle Terror: Another Sign Of America's Culture In Decline
"Go back to D-Day. Do you think a nation raised to be scared of bouncy castles would ever be able to storm those beaches? What kind of adults are going to emerge from this cocoon? What kind of adults result from this overprotective environment?" – Mark Steyn
The great Mark Steyn filled in for Rush Limbaugh yesterday and he did a bit on how alarmed some people have become over bouncy castles.
First it was playgrounds. Then it was tag. Next came dodgeball. Then there were trampolines, lawn darts, letting kids play outside without supervision and now we're on to bouncy castles.
"Oh, but John, I know a story about a kid who got hit in the throat with a dodgeball and died and bouncy castles? My nephew's friend broke his finger on one of those 5 years ago!"
When, I was 7, I broke my leg playing football. The leg turned ALL THE WAY AROUND IN A CIRCLE and snapped. I was in the hospital for 5 weeks.
When I was about 10, I climbed a fence to get a basketball, slipped and the fence ripped my leg wide open. I actually hung there, with my leg impaled on the fence,
When I was roughly 13, I was outside playing "golf" with another kid. I stood directly behind him while he did his backswing with a club. It split my forehead wide open and sent a gusher of blood that coated my entire face.
I also did a couple of years of Day Care at the YMCA during my college years.
One kid who was about 6 was pushing a fold up chair across the gym floor, somehow slipped, closed the chair in a strange way on his finger and broke it.
Another time, a kid was walking by a door and stuck her finger in the crack between the backside of the door and the wall. Meanwhile, one of the other kids who had no idea it was going on closed the door and broke her finger.
Accidents happen. Kids do dumb things and get hurt. That's part of being a kid. What's the fix for all of those things supposed to be? Living in a plastic bubble?
If only it were just kids.
Even adults act as if someone getting hurt means something must have gone wrong. This is why we have labels that say, "Do not hold the wrong side of the chainsaw" and "Do not drive with sunshield in place."
Some things are just dangerous and some people are just stupid — and that's before you get to bad luck and accidents.
Life is an inherently dangerous business. Just because something goes wrong doesn't mean we have to do something. It doesn't mean we need the government to get involved. It doesn't necessarily even mean there's a problem.
We recognize this in some areas. More than 40,000 people die in car crashes every year and, yes, we do try to improve auto safety, but you don't hear cries that we have to ban automobiles because of those deaths. In too many other areas, we freak out, go ballistic and refuse to accept that very few worthwhile things in life are achievable without a little bit of risk.

Ancient city and modern town in northern Africa. It was founded by Phenician merchants c.850 BC, razed by Rome in 146 BC, rebuilt by Augustus in 29 BC, and destroyed by Arabs in 698. It was early on a flourishing seat of Christianity and the scene of several synods between 198 and 698. The bishops of Carthage, founded c.202, exercised a real though unofficial primacy in the African Church and among their privileges was the determination, a year in advance, of the date for the celebration of Easter. The number of persons martyred there in the arena was almost as great as that in Rome, and among this number were Felicitas and Perpetua whose dungeon now serves as a chapel. The old amphitheater was excavated c.1880, and disclosed what is ranked as the world's greatest collection of Christian lamps, three Christian basilicas, chapels, cemeteries, inscriptions, and Roman and Punic buildings of various types. Carthage lays claim to the oldest remains of Christian edifices, as in Rome they have been destroyed or rebuilt.

Purchase Reason
Adds nice touch of color to a room !
Purchase Reason
Bought to compliment a freshly redecorated bedroom. It's size was chosen to fit an existing antique pine frame, which suited it superbly.
It is a wonderfully beautiful, yet relaxing print, which always draws ones eyes to it.
It's blend of shadows and reflective hues, perfectly suits it's position, facing the natural light, it changes appearance with the time of day.
Purchase Reason
I was very happy with this purchase.
Purchase Reason
It's a beautiful photograph but lost a lot of its shimmer when it was enlarged. Should have realized that would happen. Still, the image is lovely even if it's not as vibrant and adds to the powder room I created to look like a secret garden. Would recommend that the image be kept close to its original size.
Purchase Reason
The picture is fine and as expected, but the frame I chose was too insubstantial for the size of the picture and has warped. I should have chosen a heavier frame.

They have opened the first five days of May by trading wins and losses with the Reds and Phillies, ending with a 13-14 record as of Wednesday morning which is good enough for second place in the NL East behind the surprising Mets.

4/30/15 - Although the Atlanta Braves sit in second place in the NL East with a 10-12 record, they're on a three-game losing streak after two games against the Washington Nationals and one against the Cincinnati Reds in the opening game of four that wrap up over the weekend.

3/18/15 - The Atlanta Braves didn't fare well in Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees.

3/6/15 - Once upon a time, the Atlanta Braves were as close to a dynasty as one could get, making the playoffs every year from 1991 to 2005. After a few down years, though, the Braves are back among the top squads in the National League, winning the East Division in 2013, and finishing in second place four of the last five years, and are expected to give Washington a run for the money in 2015.
2/16/15 - The Atlanta Braves have been tweaked a lot recently and it is finally time to see how well the new team can perform. The MLB 2015 season is almost here and Braves fans are excited. Notably, Craig Kimbrel is not among the changes and will be reporting to spring training this Friday. The season starts on April 6th, but you can start the action early with a preseason game. Being just two weeks away, the preseason kicks off with an exciting match against the New York Mets at Champion Stadium in Orlando. You can attend for just $17. Regardless of whether you go to the preseason games, be sure to come out to support the Braves during their home opener on April 10th against the Mets. Tickets are still only $25.
1/28/15 - The Atlanta Braves kick off the MLB Pre-Season with a game against their longtime rival, the New York Mets. The game will be held on Wednesday (3/4) at Champion Stadium in Orlando, FL. It will be your first opportunity to catch the Braves in 2015. ESPN's Keith Law ranks the Braves as sixth in the MLB. The Braves just signed Dian Toscano, a left-handed hitter and outfielder. After losing three other outfielders in trades, the Braves are rebuilding. They've also signed Nick Markakis, Zoilo Almonte, Eury Perez, and Jonny Gomes. They kept B.J. Upton for center field. Upton just spent three days working on his swing with the Braves' new hitting coach. The Braves will look much different on the field in 2015 than they did last year.
2014 Season
9/15/14 - The Atlanta Braves are four games back from the second Wild Card slot in the National League. s The Braves are in dire straights at locking in a 2014 MLB Playoff berth after dropping seven of their last ten games. Can Atlanta take it down to the wire in their final homestand of the year? The Braves will have to lay victory over the Washington Nationals, New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates at Turner Field in this crucial last stretch. See them against the NL East-leading Nationals for cheap get-in prices of $1-3 from 9/15-9/17.
9/9/14 - The Atlanta Braves are revving it up this week, because the wild card race in the National League just may culminate in a photo finish. The Braves are sitting just outside of the No. 2 wild card slot and 1.5 games back from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves must get through the rest of their three-game set against Washington unscathed, and dominate the reeling Rangers to bolster their chances for a postseason run. Score Atlanta Braves tickets at National Park and see if they can get a leg-up for as little as $3 (9/9-9/10).
9/4/14 - This first few series of September are absolutely critical for the Atlanta Braves postseason hopes. The Braves are a mere half game back from usurping the second wild card slot from Milwaukee in the National League. They have two auspicious series against the Miami Marlins and Texas Rangers—but these two match-ups bookend a three-game set against the Washington Nationals. Lock in Atlanta Braves tickets for a minimum of $15 in the Legend section, and see if they can pummel through the Marlins in Miami!
8/28/14 - It's crunch time in the MLB and, at this point, the Atlanta Braves are fighting for a wild card berth. The Braves are eight games back from the super-hot Washington Nationals in the NL East, and after splitting their four-game series with Cincinnati this past weekend, Atlanta is 1.5 games behind San Francisco for the second NL slot. Score Atlanta Braves tickets and see if they can pull a series-win over the Mets in New York, before coming home to take on Miami at Turner Field. Get-in for $10 tonight in New York, or pay just $5 to see the Braves against the Marlins in Atlanta on 8/29 and 8/30.
8/21/14 – The Atlanta Braves put in a ton of work to improve their playoff chances this week. The Braves swept the former American League-leading Oakland As and followed up with a series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now heading into the final stretch of the season, if the 66-61 Braves can keep up their hot streak, a wild card slot is certainly attainable. Atlanta has the opportunity to boost their chances of locking in a postseason spot with their upcoming four-game set against the reeling Reds, followed by a series with the Mets. Buy Atlanta Braves tickets for as little as $2 in Cincinnati (8/21, 8/24) and watch the playoff race in person!
8/11/14 – It's a good thing the Atlanta Braves got 2014 off to a great start, because The Bravos have dropped the ball as of late. Still second in the NL East, the Braves have dropped eight of their last ten, and the lineup must snap out of their slump if they intend to make a convincing run into the postseason. Score Atlanta Braves tickets as they attempt to weather an incoming storm from the West: Atlanta will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games, followed by the Oakland Athletics—first place teams in the National and American Leagues. Atlanta Braves tickets offer a get-in price of $3 for their first (8/11) and last (8/14) games against Los Angeles, while the Oakland set offers get-in prices of $5 for the opener (8/15) and $3 for the finale (8/17) to this exciting week of baseball!
8/4/14 – The Atlanta Braves are flirting with disaster after an unsuccessful road trip to the west coast. The Braves are falling further away from the NL East's top spot, thanks to six straight losses in two back-to-back sweeps against the Dodgers and Padres. Atlanta will close their coastal jaunt with two games against Seattle, before returning home to face the division-leading Washington Nationals. Atlanta Braves tickets are pricey in Seattle: at $46 to get-in on 8/5 and $27 to get-in on 8/6. Compare this to the cheap Braves tickets offered at Turner Field for their decisive series against Washington: score get-in prices of $8 on 8/8, $9 on 8/9 and an unbelievable $3 on 8/10 with Razorgator.
7/28/14 – The Atlanta clubhouse is having a great weekend considering the 2014 Hall of Fame Class was highlighted by the induction of three former Braves: pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, and manager Bobby Cox, who joined baseball's immortals in Sunday's ceremony. Thanks to improved play from current Atlanta Braves players, the squad has again narrowed the gap between themselves and the Washington Nationals for top spot in the NL East. The Braves are on a three-game win streak, back just one game for first place in their division, so this week will prove as crucial as ever. Atlanta cannot slow down now with a trip to the West coast that could prove fruitful; the Braves will take on the Dodgers and Padres this week, followed by the Mariners. Can they finally surge past the division-leading Nats? Buy your Atlanta Braves tickets now to find out in person!
7/21/14 – The Atlanta Braves played well in their return from the All-Star break, and are virtually tied with the Washington Nationals for first place in the NL East. In fact, with the Braves' .546 winning percentage, they're a hair in front of the NL West's second place LA Dodgers. Atlanta will try to jump the Nats in standings during the Braves' extended home stand, with four games against both the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres. Evan Gattis has been activated from the 15 day disabled list and will be in the lineup for tonight's game against the Miami Marlins. You can buy Atlanta Braves tickets for a cheap $2 at Turner Field—the cheapest tickets of the week—and see if Gattis makes an impact.
7/16/14 – The Atlanta Braves sent a trio of players to represent the National League in yesterday's All-Star Game. Craig Kimbrel, Freddie Freeman and Julio Tehran have certainly done their part to get the Braves up to a 52-43 record and tied for first in the NL East. Both the Braves and the Nationals are one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the tight National League race. Score Atlanta Braves tickets and be there when this team makes their bid for the crown! With their recent series win over the Chicago Cubs, the Braves are in the right direction heading into their upcoming homestand against Philadelphia, Miami and San Diego.
6/16/14 - Today the Braves welcome in NL East opponent the Philadelphia Phillies who hope to make up some ground on the division leading Atlanta Braves. When these two teams take to the diamond today Atlanta Braves tickets will be going for 40% below their season average with two out of the three games they play averaging $35 or less according to RazorGator. When they play today tickets will be going for $33 with a Get-in of just $3 with the following games going for $50 and $35 respectively.
6/12/14 - Tomorrow the Atlanta Braves return home to host the emerging phenom Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels. Currently the Angels are in second place in the AL West, only behind the red hot Oakland Athletics who are arguably the best team in the American League, making them a very difficult opponent. When these two teams meet at Turner Field on Friday Night Atlanta Braves tickets will be going for $57 according to RazorGator.
6/9/14 - The Atlanta Braves suffered a crushing walk-off loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday to even the series turning Sunday's game into a rubber match between the two teams. In the rubber match the Braves got out to an early lead but a disastrous 7th inning would be the undoing of them as they couldn't battle back from the six runs they gave up in the inning, going on to lose the game and series. Today the Braves will head to Colorado to play the Rockies with Braves tickets going for under $35 for each of the four games according to RazorGator.
6/5/14 - The Atlanta Braves have to like their chances in tomorrows game as they will have their ace, Julio Teheran on the mound to start their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Braves did not fare so well in their last game against the Seattle Mariners, losing the contest 2-0, something they hope to change in their next outing. In Friday nights meeting with the D'Backs, Atlanta Braves tickets will be going for $44 on average according to RazorGator.
6/2/14 - The Atlanta Braves sent the NL East into flux after a disappointing four game sweep by the Red Sox. The squad came roaring back over the weekend, restoring order in their division with a series sweep over the Marlins in Miami. The Braves are now back at the top of the NL East with a three game lead. Atlanta will play at home for just two games this week, against the Seattle Mariners, before heading west to take on the Diamondbacks. Score cheap Atlanta Braves tickets now; pay only $3 to see them host the Mariners on Wednesday!
6/1/14 - The Atlanta Braves have quietly become one of the best teams in baseball having a much better than anticipated season leading their NL East division currently by three games after sweeping the Miami Marlins, whom they were tied with before heading into the weekend. The Braves will now turn their attention to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday when Atlanta Braves tickets average $32 with singer Austin Mahone performing after the conclusion of the game.
5/27/14 - The Atlanta Braves presented a Memorial Day collapse, allowing the Boston Red Sox to snap a 10-game losing skid, despite leading early in yesterday's game. With three more games left against the Red Sox, you can score Atlanta Braves tickets and watch them come out with a series-win! Pay $15 to get-in for tonight's game at Turner Field. Atlanta Braves tickets are available for their series at the Miami Marlins later this week; just $17 to start (5/30-5/31).
5/19/14 - Despite dropping two games apiece to San Francisco and St. Louis last week, the Atlanta Braves have maintained first place position in the NL East. The Braves are just half a game ahead of the Washington Nationals, so they'll have to score multiple wins when the Brewers and Rockies come and visit Turner Field this week. Atlanta Braves tickets are extremely cheap: get-in for $2 from 5/19-5/21 against Milwaukee, and pay just $5 to see them battle Colorado on 5/23.
5/12/14 - The Braves snapped their losing streak with a win over the Cardinals, followed by three straight victories over Chicago last week! Atlanta may have just swept the visiting Cubs, but now they'll go toe-to-toe against the red-hot Giants who took them down in three games at the start of May. Atlanta Braves tickets are cheap this week: pay just $1 to get-in on their Tuesday game against San Francisco (5/13) or $10 a day later, for their final match of the series (5/14).
5/5/14 - The Atlanta Braves have a 17-13 record for first place in the NL East, but despite their top ranking, they showed some kinks this past week. The Braves have dropped 6 games in a row, being swept in their last two series by Miami and San Francisco. Atlanta will try to snap their losing streak when they square off against the Cardinals and Cubs this week at home. See them get their spark back with Atlanta Braves tickets! Get into Turner Field for as low as $3 (5/6-5/7) for their series against St. Louis.
4/28/14 - The Atlanta Braves are 17-7 after about a month of baseball, and have moved into the top spot of many MLB Power Rankings. Who needs an Opening Day starting rotation when you have rookie David Hale allowing two hits in eight-plus innings, backed by stellar D and Freddie Freeman with a 1.038 OPS? The Braves are fresh off a Cincinnati Reds sweep at home; they'll take on the Miami Marlins on the road next, before returning to Turner Field to face the Giants on Friday. Cheap Atlanta Braves tickets are easy to find in Week 4: get-in for $18 at Marlins Park (4/29), and pay just $8 (5/2) or $6 (5/4) in Atlanta this weekend.
4/21/14 - The Atlanta Braves may have lost last night's matchup against the Mets, but they won their weekend series over New York—exacting revenge for the two games dropped in their first meeting. On Friday night, Braves' Aaron Harang was on his way to achieving no-hitter and didn't allow a single hit in seven innings. Manager Fredi Gonzales had to retire his right-hander to avoid overworking, so Harang was ultimately pulled after 121 pitches. This impressive performance shows the depth of Atlanta's rotation—still missing three-fifths of their Opening Day starter. Next up, the Braves play host to the Miami Marlins and the Cincinnati Reds. Cheap Atlanta Braves tickets are easy to find this week: tickets start at $2-$3 for their entire Marlins series (4/21-4/23) and start at $7-$9 against the Reds (4/25-4/27).
4/14/14- What a weekend! The Atlanta Braves swept their series against the Washington Nationals, off the bats of Freddie Freeman and Justin Upton, in last night's resounding 2-10 victory. The Braves will try and ride that winning momentum into their upcoming road trip: first against the Philadelphia Phillies and then against the New York Mets. Ervin Santana will get things started in his second start for Atlanta tonight against the Phillies (get-in for $24). The Braves wont be back at home until Monday, April 21 against Miami; you can get into this matchup against the Marlins for just $3.
4/7/14 - One week after the first pitch, the Atlanta Braves are looking at a solid 4-2 record—all despite the loss of two of their starting pitchers. In their Friday victory, the Braves benefitted from the new play reviewing rules, when manager Fredi Gonzalez challenged a "home run" hit by Washington's Ian Desmond that went underneath outfield padding. After a five-minute delay, the home run was overturned in favor of a ground-rule double and the Braves snapped Washington's 3-game win streak. See if the squad can keep up the winning momentum with Atlanta Braves tickets! Catch them against the New York Mets from 4/8-4/10: the cheapest get-in price is Wednesday for $4 in the Upper deck. This weekend, the Braves take on the Nats for their second series 4/11-4/13: get-in for $7 on Sunday.
3/31/14 -Hoping to shrug off a pretty rough Spring, the Atlanta Braves are looking to Opening Day for a fresh start. In an effort to make up for the loss of two top of the line pitchers, the Braves added Ervin Santana and will start Julio Tehran against the Milwaukee Brewers today. Can they bounce back from two rotation-shattering injuries and kick off the regular season on a high note? Score Atlanta Braves tickets for their first home series games against the New York Mets for as low as $3 on 4/9.
3/24/14 - There are only two Spring Training games left at Champion Stadium for Atlanta this year! The Braves will take on Houston tonight—there are still tickets left ($34 minimum), and they'll square off against Miami this Wednesday ($33 minimum). Despite the barrage of injuries to their starting rotation, instead of promoting Freddy Garcia (1.65 ERA last season) they released the veteran pitcher, much to the surprise of fans. Julio Teheran is slated to take the Opening Day slot for Atlanta against the Milwaukee Brewers (3/31); tickets start at $37 for this Miller Park matchup.
3/17/14 - The Atlanta Braves are one of the unlucky teams with a number of injuries mounting this spring. Most recently, first baseman Freddie Freeman left Sunday's game with a bruised thumb, and catcher Ryan Doumit also left with a bruised finger. On the upside, Julio Tehran looks positively ready to fill out the top of the rotation for the Braves, as Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy will likely be out for the year. Additionally, the lucky big sign (one-year $14.1 million) of RHP Ervin Santana will provide a talented buffer for the injuries to their rotation. Atlanta Braves tickets are $71 this Wednesday against the Yankees and $62 this Saturday against the Red Sox.
3/10/14 - The Atlanta Braves were the victims of some bad luck on Sunday, when starting pitcher Kris Medlen exited the game early due to a strained forearm. Medlen will be evaluated this week to determine the extent of the injury, but now the Braves may have to look for another pitcher to start on Opening Day. Atlanta Braves tickets are cheapest when they play the Washington Nationals this Wednesday (get-in for $21), and are the priciest when the St. Louis Cardinals pay a visit to Champion Stadium on Saturday, March 15 (get-in for $48).
3/3/14 - The Braves seem to have found their kryptonite in the Tigers' pitching rotation: Atlanta couldn't seal a victory in the first three of their spring matchups against Detroit, ending Sunday's game in a 0-0 tie. The split-squad double header saw the other half of the Braves fall to Houston, 7-4. Atlanta has yet to win a game this spring, going 0-5-1 to start. The Braves hope some recent good news will turn the tide: the front office has just finalized a Minor League deal with highly touted Cuban prospect, catcher Yenier Bello. The deal includes an invitation to Spring Training, so get your Atlanta Braves tickets to see the future of the organization in action and help them score their first win!
2/24/14 - The Atlanta Braves kicked off spring training in a big way. The franchise awarded five contracts—summing $280.7 million—to five players 25 years or younger over the last two weeks. The latest signees (Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward, Julio Teheran, Craig Kimbrel, Andrelton Simmons) are being called the "Atlanta Young Millionaires Club," see if these players perform at their highly touted level this year! Atlanta Braves tickets for Spring Training are still $50 on average.
2/18/14 - The Braves have got their closer. Atlanta and RHP Craig Kimbrel avoided arbitration and agreed to a 4-year $42 million contract, effectively adding another young star to the list of long-term deals the franchise has garnered over the year (including RHP Julio Teheran, IF Freddie Freeman and OF Jason Heyward). The Braves' core is looking stronger than ever, see them work it out during their first Spring Training game against the Detroit Tigers next Wednesday! Atlanta Braves tickets are a mere $17 to get-in at Champion Stadium in Orlando.
2/11/14 - Two days until pitchers and catchers report for
Spring Training
! The Atlanta Braves organization announced they'll be honoring the 40th anniversary of Hank Aaron's record 715th home run during a pre-game ceremony on April 8, opening night, against the New York Mets. Atlanta Braves tickets for this special ceremony are $37 to start. For now, get ready to see the young energetic lineup from last year crush the competition in Florida!
1/27/14 - Notwithstanding a surprise O'Flaherty trade to
, the Atlanta Braves were generally quiet this winter, more-or-less maintaining the trusty line up that achieved the best home record in the majors and a ticket to the NLDS last season. Atlanta Braves Spring Training tickets are averaging $50 in February. Keep up with the Atlanta Braves this year to see if their puzzling offseason management has made all the right moves!
Last year, the Atlanta Braves had one of the deepest benches in the entire league: having great relief in the infield, which helped propel them to first in the NL East. GM Frank Wren is looking to extend that depth into Atlanta's starting rotation—but not before taking a big gamble this winter. Wren caused a shake-up with the trade of stellar left-handed reliever Eric O'Flaherty (recovering from Tommy John surgery), a mainstay in the bullpen and fan favorite since his '08 debut. In his stead, the Braves bagged veteran Freddy Garcia and Gavin Floyd, after Tim Hudson's season-ending injury sent him to the
San Francisco Giants
. They will join B.J. Upton and Kris Medlen (second-best ERA in the NL since July behind Clayton Kershaw) this season. Young talents Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward and Craig Kimbrel have not yet agreed to long-term deals, so while their contracts hang in limbo, Atlanta is gearing Evan Gattis for the starting catcher role (with Brian McCann leaving in free agency), while Chris Johnson aims to surmount last season's second-best NL batting average. The Atlanta Braves are looking to wreak havoc on the
Los Angeles Dodgers
, who ended their season in Game 4 of the NLDS last year. In other news, the Braves just announced they will be moving to Cobb County in the next couple seasons, removing the franchise from downtown Atlanta for the first time since coming to Georgia. With
Spring Training
less than a month away, are the Braves doing all they can for a shot at revenge? You be the judge, with Atlanta Braves tickets today!
2013 Season
10/2/13 - The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers will face off in the
. The potential 5-game series is averaging $128. Atlanta Braves tickets for games 1, 2, and 5 (if nec.) at Turner Field average $121 while Los Angeles Dodgers tickets for games 3 and 4 (if nec.) at Dodger Stadium are more pricey at $136. At the start of the NLDS,
Braves World Series tickets
are among the cheapest in the League with a get-in price of $350 to each of the Braves home games.
9/24/13 - The Braves are heading to the playoffs for the second straight year after clinching the National League East, the team's first division win in eight years. Get those tomahawk chops ready; Atlanta Braves playoff tickets start at just $18. The team will wait to see if they will have home-field advantage at Turner Field throughout the NL playoffs. Wins against the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies to close out the season will certainly help their chances. The Braves currently lead the National League, .5 game ahead of the
St. Louis Cardinals
7/26/13 - Just how are the Braves doing it? After a couple years of lesser results following their extended string of success in the NL East, the Braves have found themselves back atop the pack in a season which was expected to be dominated by the Washington Nationals. While the acquisition of the Upton brothers, Justin and B.J., has been considered a bust overall, players like Chris Johnson and Freddie Freeman have picked up the offensive slack at key moments; while pitchers Mike Minor and Paul Maholm have established themselves as front-of-the-rotation starters capable of taking the team deep into the postseason. While the loss of starter Tim Hudson to a broken ankle has to hurt, Braves fans have reason to be optimistic about their team.
For many years, one could pencil in the Atlanta Braves as a lead pipe lock to make the MLB playoffs. Recently though, the Braves have continued to be competitive but have not been able to get back to the top of the heap in a suddenly challenging National League East, with rivals such as the Phillies and Nationals building solid rosters. Nevertheless, the Braves have taken some bold steps, most recently acquiring both Upton brothers, B.J. and Justin, to go along with breakout star Jason Heyward, who led the team in home runs in 2012. Also returning are RBI leader Freddie Freeman, and second baseman Dan Uggla.
On the mound, expect wins leader Tim Hudson to give the team a number of quality starts, along with returning starters Mike Minor and Tommy Hanson. Rounding out the rotation should be a couple of fellows who showed great promise in 2012, Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy. The Braves will also continue to rely on setup men Eric O'Flaherty and Jonny Venters, along with closer Craig Kimbrel to shorten games. All in all, the Braves feel they have what it takes to make it back to the postseason, and
Turner Field
should be a rockin' location down Hotlanta way.
Atlanta Braves tickets for 2013 home games at Turner Field average $60, one of the cheapest
tickets in 2013. Braves fans will even find cheap Braves baseball tickets under $10 in the Upper Pavilion and Boxes for most home games this season. One of the hottest Atlanta Braves tickets will be Opening Day on April 1st — Atlanta hosts the
Philadelphia Phillies
, and Opening Day tickets are priced from $24 in the Upper Boxes to more than $200 behind home plate and the Braves dugout. Anyone watching the Braves on the road should expect to pay an average of $66 per ticket, slightly more than at home but still one of the best ticket deals in MLB.

Living off the land
Samantha P. Hawthorne
Chester resident Geoff Foss demonstrates how to tie basic flies. To follow this "simple" method, you will need a fly-tying vice, bobbin and bobbin threader, one pair of scissors, and hackle pliers. This mosquito fly is made using moose hair, teal flank feathers, goose feathers and hackle. Photo by Samantha P. Hawthorne
Being raised in a rural area surrounded by wildlife and lacking the luxuries of a big city comes with its challenges. For Chester resident Geoff Foss, however, these challenges are more like blessings.
Foss, 24, was born and raised in Chester. He spent his youth outdoors, and was taught at a very young age how to hunt and fish.
The older Foss got, the more intrigued he became with hunting, fishing and the outdoors in general.
Throughout the years, those skills have shaped Foss into a self-sufficient young man who strives to live off the land.
"It is nice to know that if the market goes dry, I would have no problem surviving. I could make myself survive if I had to," said Foss.
Sustainable living
When Foss was a teenager, he decided he wanted to live a more sustainable lifestyle, so he started teaching himself how to tie a fly, to use when fly-fishing.
Learning this skill meant he no longer had to purchase pre-made flies from the store.
"If you're going to get into sustainable living, get into it to conserve life, not to exploit it." Geoff Foss, Owner, Feather River Trapping |
He was 14 when he first learned the art of fly-tying. He said it took him about four years until he considered himself "a good fly-tier."
When he was 20, he started using the pelts of animals caught during his hunting trips to create the flies. He said the oils in the animal fur help flies float more naturally.
He took notice that many hunters only used the animal meat and threw out the pelts. "I thought it was a waste," he said, "but I learned the only way to make the most of the entire animal is to obtain a trapping license."
With the idea of being able to avoid waste while making some extra money, Foss obtained his trapping license through the California Department of Fish and Game and started his own trapping business, called Feather River Trapping.
Some other uses Foss has found for the pelts include creating wall art and pillows. By coming up with different purposes for the animal fur, he has been able to take another step toward sustainable and conservative living.
"I would love to be completely sustainable, but I'm not," said Foss. His degree of sustainable living depends on how much the fish are biting and what season it is.
Foss has found that winter in the Lake Almanor Basin is the perfect time for sustainable living.
He avoids winter struggles by putting aside money he makes throughout the year and hunting for his food instead of buying it in the market. Doing this has saved him "tons of money."
"In the winter, when people are barely surviving off of unemployment, I can go out and catch my food," he said.
Foss said that he enjoys wild game "more than any other food on the planet."
Being able to fish year-round has also proved advantageous for Foss. "After years of learning and studying I have figured out where the fish are swimming, and when. I usually can go out any time of the year and catch fish," he said.
One of the best times to fish on Lake Almanor is after July 4 when the Hexagenia fly (the Hex fly) starts to hatch. Once hatched, they attract big trout and bass, and make for easy fishing. According to Foss, Lake Almanor is famous for these flies.
When out on the lake, he carries a notepad with him so he can record the patterns of the fish. He currently has three years of documentation on his fishing trips.
"You never give up and you never stop learning, especially in an area like Lake Almanor where there are so many different types of species," said Foss.
Aside from reducing the strain on his wallet, living off the land has also helped reduce the size of his waist.
While he was living in Chico attending college, Foss gained 75 pounds by eating out at fast food restaurants.
After moving back home and returning to a more natural diet, he lost all the excess weight caused by his college binge.
"There are all sorts of medical issues going on with people who are eating all this hormone adjusted food. The meat I eat is all natural," Foss commented.
When changing your habits, there will always be challenges and struggles. "It was a learning process," said Foss. He had to learn to adapt to a healthy lifestyle. "Over the years, I have faced less and less challenges, and I feel that my life is a lot easier having gone through struggles."
Respect for the land
Foss does not believe in fishing and hunting simply for the sport of it. When he fishes, he keeps only enough so he can "eat and be happy about it."
He pointed out that when people go out just to catch fish, and not to eat it, they ruin the fish population.
"I believe in conservation, and promoting success for the animal population," he said. "It is not about who can catch the most fish, it's about respecting your surroundings.
"Everything around here is yours. If you do not take care of it and work to promote the success of the population, things will just dwindle to nothing.
"If you're going to get into sustainable living, get into it to conserve life, not to exploit it.
"Do it because it is something you want to do and want your kids to do, because you enjoy it.
"The only way to really enjoy living off the land is if you take care of the land. Have a conscious thought of what is going on in your nature, your woods," said Foss.
Growing up in the Basin has given Foss an appreciation of his surroundings that someone from out of the area would be unlikely to have.
"I can take someone who is just visiting and show them exactly what I am doing and they will never catch a fish. It takes more than knowing what to do; it is the experience of getting out there and doing it."
Simplifying his life
Unlike many who grow up in this technology-advancing decade, Foss has never been one to waste his time playing video games and sitting inside all day.
"I would much rather be standing in a freezing cold river with my fishing pole than wasting my time indoors," said Foss.
When he is not working or crafting, he is either in the woods hunting, standing in the lake fishing or, like many other men, watching football.
He admitted to having a Facebook account like most people his age do, but said he only uses it to keep in touch with distant friends.
Foss has not given in to the hype of smartphones and still owns a flip phone, which carries all the function he needs in a phone.
Avoiding the temptations of living in the 21st century has allowed him a more simple life, and has helped prepare him for living without the availability of such luxuries, if ever the time comes.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that...I thought maybe she wanted to stay home to get a better shot at that IOC committee member thing; or does this Special Olys event have something to do with that?
You're totally right. I guess it's just hard for us to ignore Yuna & Mao rivalry as it was the highlight in former Olys, but Yuna had been absent for a while and Mao was/is reforming her jumps since then, so the other girls may have more advantages than we can imagine at the moment.As for Sochi I think it is no longer about Yuna and Mao. I can now see more than two contenders in ladies field. Sure, Yuna is a front runner as of now but younger skaters are coming to the front as well. Russia has Liza, Adelina and Julia to name a few, Canada has Kaetlyn and America has GG. Ashley will be there and I cannot overlook Carolina, Akiko, Mirai or Kanako. All of them have potential of either maturing or declining (due to their age) by the time. 2013-2014 will be so exciting for FS fans!
I think she entered Kokutai once or twice before, but I don't think she ever entered that competition along with 4CC and Worlds. The way she messed up her FS in Jpnse Nats was painful to watch, and I felt maybe she was getting a bit tired from competing up to GPF. That's why I think the Kokutai competition is too much for her. However, I'm guessing maybe she wanted to enter herself so she can do better than she did in Nats, regain her confidence again, then go on to 4CC and Worlds. If so, it might be good for her. I certainly do hope the Jpnse Fed didn't force her though...Akiko attended Kokutai, the national sports fest, last year too? As 4CC is in Japan and there will be no competition for her at all in the event, I think she takes it as another opportunity to skate in a competitive but less tensive atmosphere? Hopefully she was not forced to attend it by her federation. I am looking forward to seeing her skate both programs clean!
Well, like the others, not aware of the Special Olympics commitment. Of course, it makes sense she wouldn't be at 4CC then. My opinion previously came without having that knowledge, so thanks for everyone for providing that info.
Honestly I do wish she could be at 4CC because she's had some memorable 4CC performances in the past. Her World Championship in 2009 came after a fantastic 4CC competition, after all.
Thanks for that reminder.
I agree.
It seems so.
Mrs. P - YuNa did not go to 4CC in 2010, in her home country, and she had a decent outing at the Olympics.
As a selfish YuNa fan, I would love to see her skate more rather than less, but the selfless side of me believes she knows what she wants or is best for her. She doesn't seem to have a single-track mind, so I don't think even winning Worlds in London is her first priority anyhow.
"It's all in your mind, girls!" - Irina
Firstly, I just want to say that I do not think die-hard Mao fans are the most unbiased interpreters of Mai's words, just as die-hard YuNa fans may not be, either. Fluent/native Japanese speakers exist who are also YuNa fans and have interpreted what Mai says, without inserting any of their "personal touches", I should say. Although one could fairly say that interpretation always involves some level of subjectivity and, to that extent, some bias from the interpreter by the nature of its job.
Saying "Maybe the judges like her" is far different from saying "Maybe the judges like her skating." The former, which is what Mai actually said, implies judge favoritism to me. Is my interpretation not acceptable at any level? Is it completely unreasonable for me, or other YuNa fans, to take the less positive view? I doubt any of us are losing sleep over it because the show will not change how skaters skate at actual competitions in the future. But, we're figure skating fans who talk about irrelevant stuff all the time on skating forums...because it's fun for us and I don't think it's either kind or acceptable to suggest we have some personality defects/hallucinations/vicarious persecution complex just because we don't agree with one person's translation.
I admit I have come to not like Mai from what I can see and understand in her participation in this show (please? am I allowed to have my own point of view without having some kind of illness?) Citing one's own experience as a competitor, and then stating that you don't know why YuNa scores so high (claiming ignorance) is implying something along the lines of "although I am familiar with the scoring methods and standards for figure skating, there is nothing in YuNa's skating that I can identify that justifies how she scores so high relative to the others. Nothing to do with athleticism, or artistic merit. It's just so mysterious...hmm, in matters like this perhaps it's best to just say 'No comment!' hehehhehee..."
The fact that these comments were said after clips of YuNa's NRW outing...with her popped 3-jump combo...and her falling on the 2T attached to her successful 3S...her only mistakes and nothing else (no clips of her renowned 3Lz-3T, or artistic flourishes, etc.) then landing in 1st place... I mean, what is the average viewer supposed to think? It's exactly the sort of thing that fans the flames of bot-wars.
None of this in any way changes my respect and affection for Mao. Mao has always been a class act.
It may be cultural and individual, doris. I, along with jaylee, think it's more honest and honorable to not knee-jerk jump to sibling defense every single time. I love my brother, and I will tell him if I think he is getting a bit pudgy and should start exercising regularly again because I care about him improving himself or keeping his health. Furthermore, putting in a word of praise or two towards a rival--at the least to try to explain why they are scored highly as many non-fans can grudgingly admit on general figure skating boards--does NOT automatically mean we're putting down our siblings, right? At least when mature adults are speaking...
I'm curious why it bothers you if you are not particularly vested in YuNa's skating and competitive successes? I am just going by your self-proclamation of not being a YuNa fan. As a YuNa fan who delights in seeing her skate every single time, it's interesting that it does not bother me but that it bothers you so I'm interested to know.
I don't think YuNa's promised participation in the Special Olympics around the same time is a small responsibility to shrug off and, while I agree that more competitive practice for YuNa would be better for her for the upcoming Worlds, I admire that she takes her duties seriously and does not just put herself first. Unlike other skaters who may just wish to chase glory for themselves (nothing wrong with that), YuNa has shown that she also has charitable interests and an extra 4CC outing (that may or may not bump up her Worlds 2013 showing) is probably not going to make or break her career.
Actually, the Special Olympics ends on Tuesday, February 5, and Four Continents begins Wednesday, February 6. Air distance from Pyeongcheng to Osaka, 706 kilometers. Time, 52 minutes.
In fact, the ladies SP isn't until Saturday. Yu-na could pass out the medals to the Olympians on Tuesday, go clubbing with Michelle on Wednesday, smooze with the IOC folks on Thursday, catch the red eye to Osaka and still have time to get in a practice.
Oh, that's just ridiculous, Mathman! Married women don't still go clubbing! (or do they? )
Either way, the dates of the events are pretty close. Maybe YuNa likes to meditate and sleep in a cryogenic restoration chamber for a week between major appearances. I like to rejuvenate between busy work weeks by slothing at home and lurking forums. Whereas some of my friends like to be work party work party clubbing party why won't you come out with us more prettykeys? Go go go!
I'm glad that more skating fans were made aware of YuNa's involvement. Since she's a major focus of my attention when I discuss figure skating, I take it for granted the things I talk about with my fellow fans.
Um, I'm married and I still go clubbing once in a while. I usually like to show my bling if there are guys trying to cause trouble.
I think Michelle's new husband carries a sword.
Not sure why you'd be so interested about me, but anyway...I was wondering if Yuna thought entering 4CC before Worlds might be too much for her in her come-back season; this is because she seemed to have stamina issues in her first competition's FS this season. Her skills seemed good, but I imagined she might need some time to build more strength for the coming competitions then. She did much better in Nats (though her last spin was a bit shaky), so I reckoned the more she enters competitions the more she may get better. Thus I was merely thinking 'why not enter 4CC?', that's all. But then I read an article about the Olys comittee thing going on at the same time, and with given info from rondoboy, it started to make sense. Btw, although I mentioned I'm not her fan, that doesn't mean I have no interest in Yuna. What kind of a figure skating singles fan can possibly not have interest in a skater as good as she is? I'm interested in which competitions she'll be entering or not, just as I'm interested about those things on Ashley, Kiira, Carolina, Kaetlyn (amazing!), along with my personal faves like Mao, Akiko, Christina, Liza and Zijun. While I'm a fan of Mao, I'm not interested only in her. I've been following the sport since way before she ever showed up. I don't think there's no need to categorize all Mao fans automatically into Maobots, just the same as Yuna fans shouldn't be categorized as Yunabots altogether. Liking Mao doesn't mean you dislike or aren't interested in Yuna, and it goes the other way around as well. There are many people who are very much interested in both of them, and I think that's why someone posted this topic in the first place.
Congrats to Michelle! She, Sasha and Irina used to be my divas in the 6.0 days...Michelle's been living her life in such a respectful way even after she left competition, I'm so happy for her marriage too.

funny video
(After the prediction of gold medalist for Sochi Olympics)
Panel 1 : Legends could've seen what's going on..
Panel 2, Mai : Yeah..
Panel 3 : I just noticed that the legend skaters who picked Mao for the gold are all women.
Panel 1 : Yes, Katia and Dorothy.
Panel 3 : It seems that they were right in judging...
Panel 1 : You think that women usually predict more accurately?
Panel 3 : I think so.
Panel 2(Mai) : Besides, they both are gold medalists. Skaters who picked Yuna are not gold medalist except Kulik. It means more gold medalist picked Mao than Yuna.
Panel 3 : I don't care about other skaters opinions.
Panel 1 : You don't care about them? You made a daring remark.

I remember that comments in Olympic sp. He upset and said "why? why brian oser is highly respected than tarasova ?" except this nationalism commentor, i have never seen that commentators criticized Kim (oh, of course except Japanese casters)
and i have seen that mao asada was Criticized. Most recently, in nhk trophy, as euro commentor said that "ridiculous. traversty of justice"
I think that the most strangely, her pcs is always much Higher than Akiko Suzuki's pcs. (gpf- mao had seven points ahead in pcs than suzuki)
here is PCS list. And, please check who is real pcs queen. i think that carolina and mao (maybe in olympic season joannie, too?)
yuna kim
mao asada
carolina kostner
miki ando
joannie rochette
mao's 10 nhk terrible... pcs/ tes percent; 166%
sometimes maofans claims that "mao is strong in technically than artistry" but, after i saw this charts, i think that claim is different with facts. she is "artistry mao"

Canada should definitely explore Asian market and should not rely on US market only. Recently US market has been stopping force for oil sands' growth, Keystone pipiline being very good example. Asian market is growing so why not to tap into it?

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Yes 59%
