I think you would pay far more for 4G than a network connection. Of course if you are already paying for it, you might as well use it.
If you get a tablet PC then some of them let you treat it like a hotspot. You fire up the tablet then connect to it with your regular PC.
Have you considered DSL? I only pay $20 a month for verizon DSL.

Mobile broadband prices have come down a lot. The 5Gb plan is $10 cheaper than my cable broadband plan:
Our house would go way over the amount of monthly data that a 4G plan would allow, plus we occasionally need good speed for Netflix streaming.
We are completely fed up with our cable company also, and we are considering changing to Verizon FIOS. I have rewired the house in preparation for switching.
Look at Clear Wireless in your area, if available. They're using 4G now, your account is tied to the device not a location (so you can bring it on vacation if they have coverage, and not pay hotel network rates). We've been using Clear for about 3 years and haven't been disappointed with them. Sure, I've had my angry days when signal drops in the wee hours of the morning if they're pushing though updates, but meh, it's been better than the service when we were with Comcast.

Just for full disclosure, I do work in R&D for Sierra Wireless, but I didn't write the review. These are great though - and a good solution for home wireless if you can find a data plan that works for you. That review is for Telstra (Australia), but we do sell similar product for American networks as well, as well as single user USB sticks if you don't need the WiFi router. It's dependent on the carrier (and their coverage in your area) and the plan/rates you can get, but this technology is ready to start replacing wired services now.
I used Clear for about a year at my shop. I think they use a "special" 4G, though so I kinda doubt you'd be able to use your built-in 4G. I could be wrong.
I'd probably go with their home radio "modem" and plug that into a wireless router then just go WiFi for your laptop. The home modems seem to get better reception than the laptop dongles.
I'd ask a rep to bring a clear dongle and/or modem with them so you can see what the connection's like.
Only about 5 M down/ 1 up for me and I had good signal. Those speeds are fine for my use, though.
Beware there is a cap even though they say it's unlimited. I was really ill for a month and watch incredible amounts of Netflix and Hulu streaming and they choked me down to 1 M down/up after 20 days of that.
$30 a month is pretty reasonable.

NAMI-Yolo, a chapter of National Alliance on Mental Illness, sponsors an ongoing support group in Spanish for those who care for a family member or friend living with a psychiatric disorder.
The group provides Yolo County families with a secure and friendly environment for sharing experiences, problem-solving strategies and information about mental illness, including topics such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, schizophrenia and others.
All sessions are led by trained NAMI volunteers who themselves know what it is like to have a relative or friend with a mental disorder.
The Spanish support group meets the second Friday of the month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Yolo Family Resource Center, 828 Court St. Woodland. The next meeting is Friday. To confirm the date, call the group's leaders: Amparo at (530) 662-2274 or Catalina at (530) 383-9621. For more information about NAMI-Yolo, visit www.namiyolo.org or call (530) 756-8181.

The Market Street Bridge is a stone arch bridge that spans the Susquehanna River between Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania. The current structure is the third bridge built at its current location and is the second oldest remaining bridge in Harrisburg.[2]
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1988 and was documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1997.
The Camelback Bridge was the first bridge built to cross the Susquehanna River. The Theodore Burr designed bridge was built by Jacob Nailor, starting in 1814, and was opened as a toll bridge in 1820. The Camelback remained the only bridge until the Walnut Street Bridge was built in 1890. In 1902, the Camelback Bridge was destroyed by a flood and in 1905 a two-lane replacement bridge was erected at the same location. The current structure is the result of the widening of the replacement bridge in 1926. Columns at the Harrisburg entrance to the bridge were salvaged from the old State Capitol which burned in 1897.[3]

Subject: [ydn-javascript] Drag & Drop: How to drag a copy, leave original in place?I am trying to find out how to use the YUI drag and drop code to drag
a copy of an instance, and leave the original in its initial position.
Alternatively, how to drag the original but leave a copy in the
original's position.
Does anyone know how to do that? Is there a basic setting that will
allow that to happen, or os that something that would have to be
implemented with additional DOM scripting by the JavaScript programmer?
Thank you.

Good shoes
I've used these shoes pretty hard for two years now and they're still going strong. The break in period was minimal, and the style is excellent (I actually got a lot of compliments). The only thing I'll say is that the waterproofing seems to be "just ok"...definitely better than a normal tenni but if you're planning on trekking through shallow brooks, puddles, and streams then you should really get a pair of boots.
*These do breath well (I live in Texas...it's hot)
Great hiker!
These shoes are really good for my NARROW feet. I can tighten them down hard and go all day without my foot sliding around. They breath well when kept clean, and the sole is quite stiff compared to trail runners/sneakers.
Kept my feet dry
First real foray into waterproof shoes, so take this with a grain of salt. Picked them up before a few weeks on New Zealand south island. Normally I wear a 10 to 10.5 in shoes, picked up a 9.5 in Vasque and they were the right size. Stretched a bit in the toe box as they originally rubbed on my little toe. Kept my feet dry walking through ankle deep mud and running and stagnant water. Liked the tongue being connected to the shoe. Adequate support, I have been leaning more to low cut shoes over the years, favoring lighter weight.
The tone of your review seems to contradict your 3 stars...
Great hiking shoe
My old standard Salomon hiking shoes have worn out and are no longer available. It seems that well-made, stiff-soled hiking shoes with good arch support have gone out of style in favor of ultralight, unsupportive running shoes. That may be great for the street, but I like a beefy sole for a 10+ mile day hike. These shoes are as breathable as a waterproof shoe can be, but most importantly, they provide the foot support I need.
Great product at a good price!

I've had these shoes since Nov' 09 and I love them. A few weeks ago I noticed the material that forms a loop to hold in the bottom laces ripped. Does anyone know the warranty on these shoes? Could I have them repaired or replaced or should I start looking for a new pair of hiking shoes?
Would this fit a wide EE foot?

Hey there,
Unfortunately not. Fairly standard to narrow fit.
I have a question regarding the size .......
I have a question regarding the size .... My "regular" shoe size is 41 (European) but my Nike running shoes runs 9.5 (US size). What would be the proper size for Vasque? I plan to wear regular socks for day hiking - not back packing.
How do you know what the width is on these...
How do you know what the width is on these shoes?
Andrew,Unless stated the shoe/boot is usually a medium width. Vasque tends to fit best for medium to medium narrow widths. Mahalo, Sumo

How are these shoes on rocks and slippery rocks as well???
I would rate these as above average on dry rocks but average, maybe just a little below average on slippery rocks. I'm more of a believer in the compounds La Sportiva uses on their line for slippery rocks.Hope that helps.

You Call This A "Union"?
As Michael Cembalest of JPMorgan notes, Spanish unemployment is 24% despite the highest levels of labor shortages in Germany in 25 years - what kind of monetary union is this?

"Sorry Spain but you gotta go. Your mean."
Would you rather live in Germany or Spain? Would you rather bang a hot Spanish babe or some fat pale white chunk with Cankles?
Germany sucks. That's why there is nothing to do but work and get drunk.
Wait, you mean to say there's more to life than that?
Did some say the Spanish Inquisition ?
Well then put the German in the comfy chair!
Sure. JPMorgan is doing everything it can to calm the waves and let Hispanic-German joint ventures come back online, eh? /SARC
Come on, they are up to their eyeballs into EUR, gold, silver etc. shorts and they want to find new muppets. Do them a favor and buy some.
Buy €, Crash JP Morgan!
You heard it from me first folks.
Not me Man. Kraut's don't like sex and their farts stink real bad. German farts under the covers can be lethal.
saurkrauts and rich farts in the bag, you are very refreshing guys to talk turkey to, about which goose to gander!
Well Richy, it seems you got what you deserved - an old ugly farting german ;-)
So wrong, on so many levels. Obviously Mr Bagg has never been to either Germany OR Spain.
The assumption underlaying Tyler Durden's point here is that Spaniards even WANT to work rather than siesta.
I am sorry, but it is time for Tyler to say something about GOLD and SILVER calling the QE3 story BULLSHIT today.
It's Bernanke time!! $50 off gold in a twinkle of an eye. About 7.14 and 50 seconds tomorrow evening EST.
Alarm clock set. Thank YOU SIR!
Spanish soccer players are just too expensive for the Bundeslig.
Not anymore. The debt laden spanish clubs will collapse soon.
Spanish plumbers now invading france even to fix my private plumbing which rattles me to my brass bells. I feel like that cow called Marguerite, childhood memory. Will the spanish armada now be pushed to unemployment like the tercios of old?
I can hear the french soccer players singing Marignan, Rivoli; as they hope to face Italy in quarters. Denouement this evening. Swedes have Goliath, called Abraham-vichy-goat; hope he will get properly sacrificed, kosher style, to honour his forbears.
In the US, these problems are easily 'fixed' by accounting gimmicks...
But those are jobs for illegal aliens from Turkey. Greeks and Spaniards want a good job with benefits and vacations. They deserve better.
Because they are white, Christian and European.....they are entitled. Its so sad that this European group that has ruled the world for the last 600 years still does not realize that Asia is the jobs engine, and the menial jobs in Germany USA belongs to immigrants. I saw an article about a Greek IT engineer working as a tour guide in Athens and hoping to migrate to Australia. Doesn't the fool understand he would get an IT job in INdia way faster, but no he can't move to India as it is different. Its the mentality that the Anglo-European world will need to change or perish like sub-saharan Africa. THere is limited jobs and resources and its only gonna get worse. Asia is the next meal ticket.
Except for the past 200 years, Asia has ALWAYS been the next meal ticket. In terms of population, invention, dynamism, longetivty and power, the last 200 years are simply a footnote. Mind you, it's a huge footnote since the world now uses - whether it likes it or not - economies, governments and social structures originating in Europe (media, public education, hospitals, modern technology, etc).
When will folks learn? You can't stay on top if your population (and economy) is on a 20 years decline and your reaction is to denude your nation/continent of any defense? In its history, China has never carried through on her external power despite overwhelming odds. She always seems to eventually withdraw.
Thats one possiblity.
The other is that the West fires up the engines and does what they have been the best at for the last two millenia- full blown war. Not the bs "win hearts and minds" nonsense of recent years but the old style "kill you and flat out take your shit" kind.
With friends like this, you certainly don't need any enemies.
Japan formally dissolves as a nation: Russia and China are being begged to shelter 40 million japanese nuclear refugees.
A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Foreign Ministry on the planned re-opening of talks with Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands during the next fortnight states that Russian diplomats were "stunned" after being told by their Japanese counterparts that upwards of 40 million of their peoples were in "extreme danger" of life threatening radiation poisoning and could very well likely be faced with forced evacuations away from their countries eastern most located cities… including the world's largest one, Tokyo.
EU Times is 100% lies. How quickly we forget past track records in our rush to confirm our own biases.
Look who's here - the American Ahmedinajad is rooting for war again!
Moments of peace are causing him pain.
stale recycled junk and fear mongering. Watch out for bearded clowns and their monkey shows.
That "report" is nearly 3 months old. Has anything relevant happened since?
You mean that chernobabies being born in japan are not "relevant"?
And maybe you missed it, but japan is now trading with china without USD. Expect such an agreement with Rossiya in the very near future.
*sigh* ... another blog "report" from 3 months ago -- posed as a question (one of the oldest tricks in the misinformation handbook): "Are doctors killing deformed babies?"
You can do better than that....
[edit] Your added second paragraph appeared after I'd typed my reply ... and is totally unrelated to the topic you raised.
I assume you are content with TEPCO's official line that Fukushima has been fixed and radiation is actually good for you.
You must also believe that the global economy is in recovery. Green shoots?
"You Call This A "Union"?"
Maybe it's a circle jerk?
Full metal circle jerk.
Dodecatuple Euro Rudder.
The Union Jerk
Spanish aren't willing to relocated, I suppose. That or there are signs all over Germany saying "Die Spanier müssen nicht gelten".
What are the unemployment percentages in the different US states ?
What?!? Which part of "montetary union" is it that you don't understand?
And please don't forget that also in the USA there are regions with very high unemploymentand regions with very low unemployment. What kind of monetary union is this?
Ah, and FYI, there are more and more well educated Spaniards, Greeks, Portuguese leaving home and going to Germany, since there are jobs for them. Now, of course, Germany is accused of brain draining their home countries *g*
This Germany bashing is getting more and more ridiculous. Next thing they will be accused of is that the US job market is not recovering because Germany refuses to foot the GIPSIFs party bills forever... Wait! This accusation is already uttered, by no less than Mr. Obama himself.
> Now, of course, Germany is accused of brain draining their home countries *g*
I hope they can brain-drain the ruling elites from PIIGS.
But they won't because those thugs aren't useful for anything but organized crime and favor trading.
Another reason to legally limit how long one can work for the government and anything government-related.
If all this is "in our heads," then how come, starting late last year, the landscapers that work in my admittedly rather upscale neighborhood, all of a sudden were almost all speaking German
They did an incredible job, btw.,
Sounds to me like Germany is making a serious play on the US' core economy, so I am not sure all of this is just hand-wringing.
I'll be long Duetsch Sprachschule, as soon as someone shows me that there are Spaniards that have the skills needed to fill jobs in Germany.
Actually, Germany is in pitiful shape in the medium and long run. She is losing population faster than any other nation (even with an extra 150,000 immigrants annually) and the cost changes she made in the 90's have nearly run their course. You can't run a social welfare state with a shrinking population since the essence of this Ponzi scheme is to continually penalize new workers and the unborn with taxes for the present.
It's all good ...Ben is about to ctl-p. That should take care of any of those pesky needs... like jobs.
There won't be tomorrow but there will be in August.
when is my printing, btw? I'm waiting on my turn. When do I get my free money to shore up my solvency?
Reminds me of our Chinese friends gobbling up some sizable share of some Wall Street casino shop right before it went belly up. Was it Lehman Bros. or Bear Stearns where they sank a billion or two?
Time to heed for the hills when our yellow friends unpack their green bills.
Not wanting to work for printing press wages is called a labor shortage. Working for chump wages while the kleptocrats steal trillions is not appealing to anyone with a brain.
Sharing a currency doesn't make you speak the same language and forget about 2000 years of history.
I guess History is not something they care about when they sell you an MBA but that can explain a lot of the problems.
It is a flipping monetary union, where many contries share the same currency. It is not, as Mr. Farage quickly and eloquently points out, repeatedly I may add, a political union. While there are some politics involved with sharing a currency, each nation (ostensibly) retains it's sovreignity. At least for now. If, and I mean if Germany wants to increase it's workforce, they must increase the number of persons allowed to emigrate to their country for work. However, that brings problems of it's own...
Again, it is a monetary not a political union. Each nation retains it's own laws, government (ostensibly), and operates it's own economy within the contraints of the monetary union. This is by and far the stupidest comparison I have ever read. There is nothing common about common sense.
Sorry, buddy, you allow a group of technocratic elitist bankers to control the issuance of currency and credit and you're a god damn slave bounded politically and monetarily.
I'm sure they would hire Spanish workers, but benefit packages in Germany rarely include siestas
Maybe they should read books http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/19/idUS100516+19-Jun-2012+PRN2012...
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the European Union, and to the chaos for which it stands, 27 nations without God, divided, with debt slavery and justice for few.
its called union-libre, like hippie love. Nation states like local cooking and other people's money. Euro-union is there to share what is considered unnecessary in a hippie community, like money, banks and tanks. You're a true hippie or you're not!
Monetary union requires political union for long term stability, and the history of attempts to politically unite Europe is... poor.
Just imagine Schaeuble saying "Ich bin ein Athener". That should brighten your day...
Maybe the Germans have a REAL fence on the Ruhr, one that does what it's supposed to and keeps the beaners out.
"....what kind of monetary union is this?"
It is simple, Weimar II on a global scale.
Funny, not, how they paraded the downstream executives through Nierenberg, much the way they parade CEOs through Congress today, but never examined the research project, the human scientific process. The Jews were lab rats, and they were sold out by their own, to computerize the consumption addiction process.
Corporate captured everything it needed at the beginning of the process, inuring children to the Reich, with water colors. Like all good scientists, they simply ran the experiment to its conclusion to capture as much data as possible, and maximize misdirection.
The education system you see today, beginning at early childhood, to replace parents with government, is hard power attenuated to soft power, over time, in a relativity circuit. Put currency in front of kids that have spent any significant time in the system. Count how many volunteer to work productively in exchange. What if you put down a dollar, an orange, and a spatula? What is the Euro?
The addicts storm the wall in protest, the king has his servants throw just enough heroin over the edge to disperse enough of the crowd to regain police control, and the process repeats, until the wall is complete, intelligence is winnowed out, and the remaining population is stupid enough to assemble at the wall in worship. Take a look at Moses and gold.
You gotta be smarter than the money changers, which is now a computer algorithm, stupid controlling stupid. Don't participate and the empire starves for lack of sacrificial lambs. You always have a choice, between the known and the unknown. Raising children accordingly is much more productive than attempting to rehabilitate robots that desperately want to be robots.
F-ing robots, f-ing robots in a circle, replicating robots at the discretion of a computer ponzi, until the black hole pulls them in, swapping the drug and the users, in a round robin game of SIMON SAYS. Make the system work for you instead of against you, by adjusting your virtual distance. Let the DNA churn pool do its job.
Germany, like all the other lab rats, can't do a thing about it, but talk, until the noose of its own design, Euro debt, strangles it as well. Take a look at the participating corporations to WWII, then and now, and tell me what a great guy Soros is. Do you really think Germany can survive without its import/export co-dependents?
By all means, go to Goldman Sachs and sell your family wealth for pennies on the dollar. That's how the ponzi completes the circle for another round. Soros simply bets on the addicts to be addicts, and plows the money back into the propaganda machine, another f-ing robot rewarded with accounting income for the purpose. Superstitious idiots reading empire signs and assuming they are God.
Liberty is not a right. It's earned, every damn day. Whether you pursue it, or any of the empire's offerings, is up to you and you alone, which is why so few escape prisoners dilemma. The firefighters block the forest; nature burns them down.
Enslave the greeks and spanish and ship them over to the salt mines of germany!!
Hitler would be so proud!!
"despite the highest levels of labor shortages in Germany in 25 years"
Where's there any labor shortages in Germany, please?! While inflation-adjusted wages keep falling further, the workforce must be still too large.
Or will the laws of supply and demand just simply not apply in a job market?

Looks like a Carolina Wren to me. I have one that has been visiting my bird feeders, I was quite suprised. I didn't think they were normally in the Northeast. Your photo looks exactly the same as the ones I've been taking of our visitor - and from the research I've been doing, a Carolina Wren seems to be the answer.

I THINK that's a Kildeer. They don't build their nests in trees...and they dart around real quickly on the ground to get you away from their nest. Here's a picture of one on our shelter roof although you might not be able to see him on the picture unless you make the photo bigger.

Braves Bowl in the Holidays with Military Families
As part of our commitment to honoring local military families, we hosted the 5th Annual Holiday Military Bowling Bash on Saturday, December 5th. More than 20 families from local military bases joined Braves coaches and alumni players for an afternoon of bowling, food, awesome raffle prizes and fun at Midtown Bowl.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, pitching coach Roger McDowell, first base coach Terry Pendleton, bullpen catcher Alan Butts along with Braves alumni Marty Perez, Jim Nash, and Johnny Estrada came out to spend some quality time with the military families, sign autographs, and spread holiday cheer.
Everyone received raffle tickets upon entry for the chance to win exciting prizes including Braves branded golf bags, autographed items and tickets to the upcoming season.
This event was a success thanks to the Braves front office staff and the Braves 400 Club members who volunteered their Saturday morning and helped distribute various prizes that were awarded throughout the afternoon.
This is one of the most rewarding events that we do each year because it allows us to thank the military service men and women, and their families for their dedication to our country. A special thanks goes out to Midtown Bowl for hosting us and providing lunch for everyone as well as to our Braves fans for the continued support of the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Braves Foundation, and the support of our military.
Happy HoliBRAVES from our Braves family to yours!
GI Joes and Baseball Pros – 2nd Annual Wounded Warrior Classic
Last Friday, in honor of Armed Forces Month and as part of our monthly Braves Care front office staff volunteer initiative, we welcomed members of the Wounded Warrior Project, a veteran service organization for wounded veterans, to Turner Field for the 2nd Annual Wounded Warrior Classic.
The Warriors arrived at the ballpark around 10 am for a VIP all-access tour of the Braves Museum, ballpark, press box and the Braves Clubhouse. Braves alumni, Johnny Estrada, surprised the warriors while they were exploring the Braves museum and joined them for the remainder of their tour. At the conclusion of their tour, the Warriors were joined by our front office staff and Delta Air Lines volunteers, who were waiting to serve and eat lunch with our special guests.
We had a couple other exciting surprises in store for the Warriors. Following lunch, we informed our guests that they would be going down on the field to take batting practice from home plate! They couldn't hit live batting practice on a Major League baseball field with just any equipment, so we announced that Mizuno Baseball donated brand new equipment for them to use during this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Each Warrior walked away with their choice of a top of the line aluminum bat or baseball glove, a pair of batting gloves and batting helmet. With new equipment in hand, Braves staff and Delta employees escorted the Warriors down to the field for batting practice.
Once they took the field, Braves alumni Greg McMichael, Jim Nash, and Ron Reed joined Johnny Estrada as batting practice coaches for the Warriors.
Like the big leaguers do before each major league game, each Warrior had an opportunity to take about 10 hacks from the tortoise shell. When they weren't hitting, they were able to run around in the outfield and shag fly balls with Braves staff while mingling with our alumni players.
Our Braves Alumni gladly signed autographs and took photos with the Warriors, and at the end of their visit, our special guests gathered by the Braves dugout for a group photo and final remarks.
It was an honor to have these exceptional men at Turner Field for a fun day with the Braves Staff!
Braves Supporting the Brave
To kick off Armed Forces Month, we dedicated our Braves Care front office volunteer event to our friends in the military by serving lunch at the USO of Georgia and by collecting items for troops returning home from overseas.
On Friday, May 1, we started our day off at the USO of Georgia facility at the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airport preparing for the arrival of new soldiers returning home from basic training. The USO of Georgia is a private, nonprofit organization that provides morale, welfare and recreation services to military personnel and their families. They are open every day for soldiers who are passing through the Atlanta airport to stop in and have a hot meal and a quiet place to regroup. Every Friday, the USO anticipates the arrival of a few hundred brand new soldiers from Fort Benning in Columbus, GA headed to their next destination. These young men and women spend 14 weeks at basic training with little to no interaction with the outside world.
We were so excited when the first bus arrived that Friday morning from basic training, as we waited for them with "Welcome Home" signs. It was evident that they had not had access to electronics or the simplest things like caffeine as they rushed off the buses and straight to the newsstands in the airport to grab a soda and snacks. As we caught up with them, we directed them upstairs to the USO facility where Braves front office staff and Braves alumni, Johnny Estrada, were serving sandwiches for lunch. Johnny was happy to sign autographs for all of the service men and women and visit with them while they readjusted to civilian life.
As the facility filled up with young gentlemen in their dress blues, we unleashed another surprise on them… Braves player Jonny Gomes would also be joining them for lunch. Gomes accompanied by his wife Kristi, who happens to be a from military family, signed autographs and took photos. Many of the soldiers gathered in the USO conference room with Gomes and Estrada for a Q&A. The Gomes' even delivered the cutest thank you cards for the soldiers that their kids made at home!
This was one of the most fun and rewarding Braves Care events, as we got to talk to and serve so many truly courageous young men.
In celebration of Armed Forces Month, that weekend we collected items outside of the ballpark for the USO to use at their facility. Fans brought everything from paper products and utensils to fruit snacks and granola bars. The USO uses all of these items to serve soldiers when they stop in on their journey either back home from deployment or to their next post from basic training.
We have the pleasure of partnering with the USO on different occasions throughout the year through our military outreach efforts, and we always enjoy working with them. For more information about how you can get involved in the USO's outreach efforts, visit www.usogeorgia.org.
Braves Staff Gives Back in 2014
This year, Braves staff completed more than 3,000 community service hours in conjunction with our monthly Braves Care Employee Volunteer Initiative. We would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time this year to give back to our community in a variety of ways. Below is a recap of our community service projects.
In January, we visited the Atlanta Community Food Bank where we sorted cans and restocked the in-house grocery store with assistance from Braves alumni players, Brian Jordan and Marquis Grissom.
In March, the staff cleaned out their closets and donated clothes to the Atlanta Union Mission as a part of the Spring Cleaning Clothing Drive. We also visited the La Amistad After School Program to help the students celebrate St. Patrick's Day with fun arts and crafts activities.
On April 22, Earth Day, we helped clean up the Piedmont Park Conservancy. We focused our efforts on the garden area where Piedmont Park hosts field trips and we were able to give the garden a mini makeover, as we left our mark on Piedmont Park!
During the month of May, we partnered with the USO to collect items from Braves staff and fans for soldiers returning home from overseas. This effort to help welcome the courageous men and women back to the states was an initiative we called "Support the Brave."
In June, we celebrated the wounded veterans of the U.S. military by inviting them to Turner Field for an extremely special Braves Care event. Braves staff welcomed about 35 warriors from the Wounded Warrior project to the ballpark where they took a tour of Turner Field, ate lunch with Braves President John Schuerholz, and took batting practice on the field with staff and Braves alumni players.
Christmas came early in July for the kiddos at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta! We surprised patients with room to room visits by Braves players, coaches and wives distributing brand new toys collected by the Braves wives during their annual toy drive. Braves employees participated in fun games and crafts at the Zone, the indoor activity center at the hospital.
At the beginning of August, Braves and Delta Air Lines employees teamed up to get our partner DH Stanton elementary ready for the new school year. We painted, organized books, designed bulletin boards and decorated classrooms.
We spent quality time with our four legged friends in the community during the month of August. We got to play with dogs that are up for adoption at PAWS Atlanta, a no-kill animal shelter just east of the city. We walked the dogs, interacted with kittens, and built new picnic benches for potential adoptive parents.
In September, we helped our friends at DH Stanton Elementary School get excited for the new school year. Throughout the season we partnered with Arrow Exterminators to collect school supplies from Braves staff, fans at Turner Field and Arrow customers. We surprised the students and teachers with brand new supplies for their classrooms and also spent a little time reading to the students.
For our October activity we celebrated Halloween at Jacob's Ladder Neurodevelopmental School in Roswell. We helped students create unique handmade candy corn paintings with homemade paint brushes and delivered Braves hats and tomahawks to students that were unable to take part in the activity.
In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, we served lunch to the homeless at the City of Refuge and to the students at Bright Futures Academy.
We will round out the year with our December initiative, the Annual Angel Tree Project. We will partner with the Second Wind Dreams "Gift of Light" program and "adopt" senior citizens from a local nursing home. The seniors will be provided with holiday gifts to help make their spirits bright!
We want to thank all of Braves staff members that helped make the Braves Care events this year a huge hit! We are so grateful to have co-workers that are always eager to help out.
A special kudos to Terrence Willoughby and Elizabeth Jimenez for being our 2014 "ACE in the Community" Award Recipients for being the most active Braves Care employees in 2014!
Check out the gallery below for more 2014 Braves Care photos!
Pitching in for the Holiday Season
This Halloween, Braves front office staff members visited the students at Jacob's Ladder Neurodevelopmental School and Therapy Center as part of the Braves Care employee volunteer initiative. Jacob's Ladder is an accredited private school which serves students Pre-K through 12th grade with neurological disorders from down syndrome, cerebral palsy, brain injury, learning disabilities and genetic disorders.
We helped some of our new friends create candy corn paintings using homemade paintbrushes and we surprised each child with a Halloween themed goodie bag filled with small toys and school supplies. After everyone finished with their paintings, we delivered Braves baseball caps and Tomahawks to the children in the school that were unable to participate in the arts and craft project.
After meeting each child at the school, Braves volunteers were treated to a tour of the Jacob's Ladder facility which includes a goat farm, chicken coup, and a bunny cage! It is truly an inspirational place for students to call their own, and we can't wait to see our friends at Jacob's Ladder in the future.
In celebration of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, the Braves Care employee volunteer initiative also visited the City of Refuge to serve lunch to the residents and students at the on-site school, Bright Futures Atlanta Academy.
The Braves have supported the City of Refuge and their efforts for years, and we love to go visit and see the difference that they have made in our community. The City of Refuge is a non-profit organization dedicated to community development efforts that lead to the stability and sustainability of the local community. Their services span multiple areas of need – from food, clothing and shelter to job training, placement, housing, healthcare and education.
One group of volunteers worked in the City of Refuge 180 Kitchen where they served lunches to the women and children that were on-site during lunch hours. We got the chance to interact and eat lunch with the residents. The other group of volunteers visited the on-site private school, Bright Futures Atlanta Academy, a Christian-based, year-round program academy that offers after-school programming during the school year and camp during the summers. This unique school is focused on helping inner-city, at-risk children by providing them with the spiritual, educational, and family support that will help them become productive members of society and role models to their peers. Braves staff visited the school, got a tour of the colorful facility, served lunch to the students and engaged in a fun teamwork activity.
Overall, it was the perfect way for the Braves front office staff to give back to our community during the Thanksgiving season!
Braves Care – St. Patrick's Day at La Amistad
Each month Braves employees participate in Braves Care, our employee volunteer initiative designed to give staff the chance to give back to the community in various ways. Through this initiative, we are able to create a closer connection to our community through volunteer projects with local non-profit organizations.
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, the Braves front office staff made a special visit to the students at the La Amistad After School Program to create arts and crafts masterpieces and spend quality time with the children before their tutoring session.
La Amistad is a nonprofit organization that works toward helping Latino students and families throughout Georgia thrive in their educational, personal, and career pursuits while working together to transform communities. La Amistad offers after school tutoring and mentoring to students that speak English as a second language, helping them achieve physical and personal growth.
During our visit, we painted four leaf clovers with puffy paint and assembled and decorated homemade shamrock kites. After the fun arts and crafts projects, we tested their baseball knowledge with a little Braves trivia. To close out the afternoon we presented each child with a personal copy of the children's book "The Road to the Braves," stickers and tomahawks.
The students were delighted to have us as their special guests during their after school program. We definitely made some new friends at La Amistad! This was truly a fun and unique experience for all of the staff members and children involved, and we look forward to seeing them again soon when they visit us at Turner Field this season.

2013 Braves Angel Tree and Holiday Bowling Party
Every holiday season, the Atlanta Braves host special holiday activities to enhance the lives of others. In the Spirit of Giving, we adopted senior citizens for our Angel Tree program and we also hosted our annual "Braves Bowl," a holiday bowling party for military families.
We know that the holidays can be difficult for those who do not have anyone to share them with. We wanted to do something different and decided to help our senior citizens who are sometimes forgotten around the holidays.
We partnered with Second Wind Dreams, a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the perception of aging. Second Wind Dreams offers education on dementia, grants wishes for seniors, and educates the general population on issues related to the elderly. Braves employees adopted 50 senior citizens residing at Decatur Senior Living and College Park Healthcare. These seniors, ranging in ages from age 60 to 95 were gifted with items from their wish lists including sweatsuits, alarm clocks, robes, socks, hats, gloves and candy. As you can see, these seniors didn't ask for much, so it was the least we could do put smiles on their faces just in time for Christmas!
We continued to spread holiday cheer for 40 military families at our annual Braves "Braves Bowl" Holiday Party at Midtown Bowl. This is the third year that we have held this event to honor and thank the soldiers and their families for their sacrifices, dedication, and service to our country.
Parents and children from the United Military Care Inc., Wounded Warrior Project, and the Georgia National Guard were greeted by Homer the Mascot, and received a warm welcome from Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez. Braves Alumni Marty Perez and Johnny Estrada along with and Gwinnett Braves Manager Brian Snitker also came out to bowl with the families, sign autographs and take pictures. To round out the day, three lucky soldiers got the opportunity to bowl against Estrada, Perez and Gonzalez for bragging rights and Braves prize packs.
Many thanks to the Braves front office staff, our alumni players, coaches, the Braves 400 Club volunteers, Midtown Bowl and Second Wind Dreams for making this holiday seasons' activities a huge success!
October Braves Care Event at the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge
On Thursday, October 17th, twenty volunteers from the Atlanta Braves front office staff went to visit the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge on Emory University's campus for our monthly Braves Care community outreach activity.
The Hope Lodge provides cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when they are receiving treatment far away from home. Each Hope Lodge provides a nurturing, home-like environment where patients can receive free transportation to and from their treatments, information on their cancer and how to best fight it, and support from volunteers and others fighting the same fight.
Daily activities are provided for the Hope Lodge residents, and the Braves Care program was the special activity for the day. The residents and Braves Care volunteers decorated pumpkins for Halloween and played in a highly competitive corn toss competition. Winning teams from the corn toss competition were given autographed baseballs and gift bags filled with Halloween candy, braves caps, stickers and foam tomahawks.
To close out the afternoon, Braves employees were given a tour of the third largest Hope Lodge facility in the country, including a sitting area decorated by the creative staff at Lilly Pulitzer. After the tour, guests participated in a quick Braves Trivia round for more autographed items, and posed with their pumpkins for a group photo! For more information on the American Cancer Society Hope lodge, please visit their website here.
Braves Care: Puppy Palooza!
On Thursday, April 25th members of the Atlanta Braves front office staff visited PAWS Atlanta, a private, not-for-profit animal welfare organization founded in 1966. PAWS Atlanta is a no-kill shelter, meaning they do not euthanize animals based on need for space; the focus is on finding these loving animals a forever home.
PAWS Atlanta is a staff favorite Braves Care project, so we had excellent participation! We worked on a range of projects to help the shelter. One group changed the marquee signs, then organized spare cages and other supplies before taking the dogs out on a walk. They did an outstanding job organizing a space that the staff had not had a chance to care to.
The next group organized the entire food shed – which stores not only the food for the shelter, but food for those who may not be able to afford to feed their pets for a short amount of time. This shed also housed important documents for the organization, and our volunteers took it a step further and completely reorganized the shed.
The third group cleaned windows and visited kittens in the Cat Cottage. The last two groups shredded donated newspaper for the kennels and the other prepared dogs for baths. Then we all helped bring all of the dogs in for lunch and walk them afterwards!
After all of the work was done, it was time for a miniature photo shoot with the entire group and a handful of puppies. Many of us, myself included, fought the urge to take one or all of them home! If you're looking for a new family pet, you should absolutely consider rescuing a dog or cat! To learn more about P.A.W.S. Atlanta, visit their website here!
Braves Care: Read Across America!
"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book, and read to a child!"– Dr. Seuss
Friday, some of the Braves staff got in touch with their inner child and opened up a Dr. Seuss book! Volunteers went to D.H. Stanton Elementary, our partner school just blocks from Turner Field, and served as guest readers to help celebrate Read Across America and the famous Dr. Seuss' birthday! The man responsible for great stories like Green Eggs and Ham, Oh, The Places You'll Go! , and The Cat in the Hat would have turned 109 on March 2nd!
To celebrate his birthday, students at D.H. Stanton prepared for a reading bowl – the winner received a Dr. Seuss cake for the movie that afternoon. I really wish we could have stayed all day, so that we could have joined in on the cake and closed circuit broadcast of The Lorax, but we had to get back to the office…
We divided up and read books to TWELVE classrooms ranging from Pre-K to 3rd grade. I had the pleasure of reading There's a Wocket in my Pocket to the most adorable class. They had their hats and favorite Dr. Seuss books ready to go. They were the best audience I could have asked for, totally engaged and loving it. I have to say, I'm a little sad that I didn't get to wear that fantastic hat the rest of the day…
Other books that made an appearance that Friday included Oh, The Places You'll Go!, Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, and The Butter Battle Book. We spent Thursday morning packing goody bags, and those were definitely a hit with the kids (and faculty!). When I told the kids about said goody bags, I mistakenly called them a "treat," so I did have a few who were disappointed that they weren't the kind of treats that you eat.
We definitely had a great group of volunteers out bright and early on a Friday morning, and I can safely say everyone had a great time. Personally, I think there are few better joys than seeing a child's face light up, so it definitely made the rest of the workday brighter!
"You are you and that is true, there's no one in the world who's you-er than you."

I literally gave up on drugstore foundations, after Revlon colorstay, I was like this is the last straw!! Well you can say whatever you want when you've got money, but when you don't, you look for alternatives-which is what I did. And I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. So much so that I might buy another tube! The SA asked me during checkout if I wear primer, I said I have some primer and she said you may want to use it before you apply this foundation. So I did, and I can see what she meant, although my "primer" (monistat anti-chaffing gel) didn't do a good job, (escentuates dry flaky skin, fine lines) I decided to apply my SPF underneath. I currently use somme institute SPF, which is greasy and emollient, I think the combination works well and makes my skin sorta glow. The staying power of this foundation is good, its semi-matte, dry patches diminished, coverage great, although be careful as I globbed it on in a hurry the first use and it was sooooo cakey! So lightly apply with a foundation brush or sponge and it will look pretty good. It might clog pores, I'm acne prone and I'm not sure if its something else. But one lippie down for the color selection. I bought ivory 100 and it's not ivory it's almost a warm neutral will would work if your slightly tan. Overall pretty good buy!

This is such a fantastic product! Rimmel London is a U.K. brand that is relatively new to the U.S. so when I saw this foundation I was instantly in my "I HAVE TO TRY THIS PRODUCT!" mode. The first thing that threw me off about this foundation is the color. They all appeared to be far too dark for my skin. I am as white as a ghost. Literally. NW15 from MAC is too dark. But nonetheless, I grabbed the lightest shade, Ivory, and decided to give it a go because for the price of $6.50, it wasn't going to be a huge loss if it sucked. I have used this product interchangeably with my Revlon ColorStay and Lancome Teint Idole for about a year now. The coverage is medium to full. The product is a thicker liquid than ColorStay but is easily blendable and natural looking. You can apply this with your fingers with no trouble (I do this when I am in a rush, which is at least once a week) or use a brush. I prefer to use a brush just because I feel it is more sanitary, but it up to you. This foundation covers imperfections really well and lasts all day. I don't even have to touch up! Granted, my skin is dry, not oily, so it may last better on me than it does on someone with oily or combination skin, but I also have acne and I don't even feel the need for concealer most of the time. My only complaints with this outstanding product are the packaging, the color selection, and the thickness. The packaging could be improved greatly with a pump because the squeeze bottle can sometimes give you way too much product. The color range on this product is a little pitiful. I am really fair and this line is much too dark for me. I can blend it a lot and mix it with a lighter foundation to make it work, but it is a hassel. The last issue is that the foundation can look heavy or cakey if you are not extremely careful. Overall, this product is good, not absolutely amazing, but I will still reach for it sometimes. I would recommend it to people with a more tan complexion.

Can it be? My HG foundation at $8? I think it might be.
This foundation is seriously long lasting. Easily a comparison to the Revlon Colorstay foundation, but much easier to blend. It also gave me much better coverage of my acne and redness. I still need a concealer, but my acne's bad, so it's not a deal breaker.
What I especially love is how blendable it is. My concealer can blend right in and not stick out like a map on my face. It also gives a nice, dewy finish, and is a welcome relief for my dry skin.
As far as application goes, what works best for me stippling with E.L.F Powder brush. And then...just wait. Wait a couple minutes for the foundation to adjust to your skin. It will look so much better. I find this is the case with most foundations. Give em a couple of minutes and they adjust to your skin. This one does so flawlessly. Then a light dusting of powder is all you'll need. It stays in place so well. I'm impressed!
I only wish they had more color selection. I'm very pale and found that their lightest shade was too pink for me. I went up two shades to True Ivory and it has the undertones and coverage I'm looking for, though slightly darker. I can fix that with the right powder, but a lighter, less pink shade would be appreciated.
Still, this foundation is a steal! I doubt I'll ever go back.
UPDATE: Still loving this foundation. I was at a Macy's the other day, and one of the MAC SA's asked me if I was wearing one of their foundations. She was shocked to find out it was a drugstore brand, and ended up writing down the name. Drugstore foundation that performs like a high end. Love it!
FINAL UPDATE: Reduced the rating to a 4. Yup, it oxidizes.This is nothing new to me, being pale. Nonetheless, I really did love the foundation and formula, but until Rimmel releases a lighter, orange-free shade, I'll keep looking.

I have the colour 200 Soft Beige and it is the only foundation I have ever found that matches my pale yellowy skin. I also get an incredibly oily forehead that with other foundations I have to constantly powder. With this foundation I get ZERO shine! Not sure if it lasts 25 hours like it says it does but it sure comes close!!

Are you kidding me? A drugstore brand that provides sheer, flawless medium coverage? This stuff is superb, nothing short of spectacular and not just because of price alone. Prepare to be amazed. This reminds me of my first wow experience as a teen buying my first foundation from a drugstore and feeling beautiful. There was a HUGE array of colors to choose from in each skin tone. I took a few tubes of this to the big mirror near the sunglasses stand and held them to my face before selecting one, and it is an exact match. I believe there were a minimum of 16 shades.
I have been in a HE foundation rut so to speak mixing LM, Mac, and Lancome as none of them alone seem quite right.
You DO NOT want to give the tube much of a squeeze as it is quite runny. You Do want to apply sunscreen beforehand. A damp beautyblender or sponge is best but just fingers works great too. Truly incredible coverage., No caking. Feels like skin. Let's not talk about what a bargain it is or they will raise the prices on us, ok? ;)

I had originally given this a 4 star rating, but as I wore it over the next week, I edited my review and now give it a 2 star rating. Over time, this foundation looks cakey - without a setting powder. It also burns when applied to the face, and this is coming from someone who does NOT have sensitive skin.
-blends well
-not greasy, but moisturizing
-the squeeze bottle makes application easy and fast
-reminds me of a BB cream, but has the finish and coverage of a light foundation
-the color selection is incredibly lacking, I'm a warm beige and the colors were either incredibly dark or they were a 1/2 shade to 1 shade too light. You may have problems finding an exact match.
-burns on the face
Overall, I'm still in search of a good foundation.

I love this foundation! I use a stippling brush to apply it and it blends nicely and looks better than my 30 and 40 dollar foundations! I ordered this on beautyjoint.com, otherwise it would of cost me triple, that is if the product is even in New Zealand! I am in the lightest shade, and i feel i could be just a tad lighter but the match isnt too bad. I live the refreshing smell of the foundation compared to other foundations i've had that literally smell like paint. Deffo recommend!

I can't believe I've only just discovered this foundation. I bought the shade 200 which is probably the best match for my NC30 light-medium olive skintone. This really DOES last as long as it says it does but without the cakey heavy feeling you would expect from a product with promises like this.
Be mindful that this is a slightly drier formulation with medium to full coverage so best to use it on freshly moisturised skin and if possible over a primer too otherwise it can tend to settle into fine lines and dry patches.
I took off one lippy because I hate the cheap looking plastic tube. I wish it was presented in a pump style glass bottle instead.
Price: $17.99 AUD.
I would purchase this again.

I wasn't very blown away by this foundation. For the price, it is nice. It offers good coverage, and 200 soft beige fits my nc20/25 complexion nicely. The main problem I found is that it is very thick, and I find it difficult to spread it across my skin. I've tried flat-top brushes, my fingers, and a damp sponge seems to work the best. The other problem I found was that it never really sets. You really have to powder it, at which point it looks pretty thick and cakey. It does last fairly well on my combination skin, though. For the price (usually 6-8 $CAD), it's worth a shot!

This foundation is a ridiculously bad color match for me. I'm NC15-20, but fairly peachy and neutral, not overly golden. I bought this in the lightest shade, Ivory 100, and it looked like it might work at first, despite being a tad dark. After wearing it for a few hours it oxidized (not orange, but RED) to something like NW25ish. My entire face looked like it was covered in sheer rosy blush-- just like a uniform, reddish pink sheen. The crazy thing is that my skin is pretty dry, so foundations never look that shiny on me, and I even had a correcting green primer underneath, because I tend to get a little red around my nose. I debated taking a Benadryl, because my skin was THAT angry and red-looking, but I realized that it's just a really, really bad color match for me. Aside from that, I didn't like the shine or the coverage (spotty and uneven). This is honestly one of the worst foundations I've tried. I've seen a lot of great reviews, so obviously it must work for some people, but it's needless to say I won't be using or buying this product again in the future.
