Snag Proof Phat Frog
Unsinkable - the Snag Proof Phat Frog solves a couple of the main issues plaguing frog baits. Snag Proof realized that most frog baits tend to eventually fill with water due to the fact that the collapsible cavity of the frog also has holes through which the hooks must be threaded. The Phat Frog solves this problem by creating two separate chambers – one to house the hook and the other a sealed air chamber to provide the collapsibility necessary for engaging the hooks. The folks at Snag Proof also positioned the legs of the frog closer together at the rear of the bait completely out of the way of the hooks. This limits the tendency of the rubber strands to foul around the hooks after violent strikes. Available in an array of effective colors, the Snag Proof Phat Frog will increase your chances by eliminating the necessity to constantly tune your frog bait.

Comments: fyi for everyone that uses these, trokar 4/0 frog hooks fit this frog perfect. I personally change all mine over from the gammys. Feel my hook up percentage is better and you almost always hook them really good with a trokar.
From: Brian: St. Louis, MO 7/15/16
Comments: This frog bait is by far, the best on the whole market: It walks perfectly, soft enough, very good hook up ratio, its density makes you able to cast far & accurately, color range is perfect & it catches lots of big fish! You can't go wrong with this frog! If you're new in frog fishing, buy this one and a bobby's perfect for a smaller profile!
From: Fab: France 3/3/16
Comments: The best frog on the market! Very easy to walk the dog straight out the package, no trimming needed. The hooks on this frog are very strong & sharp which allow for a better hook up ratio. They are also extremely durable & last a lot longer then other before they need to be replaced. Highly recommended
From: Cody: Lakeland, FL 12/14/15
Comments: Easy to cast and walk, don't sink, good hook up ratio, nice colors offer, price is OK & the rattling inside the frog is a nice addition. Nevertheless some colors seems not as soft as other colors... Not a big deal thought. The product is good, nice job Ish :)
From: Ben: France 10/14/15
Comments: It walks better than any other frog on the market. Great for open water and scattered grass. The large profile makes it easy to see and a good meal for a big bass. This is my go to frog. I don't go fishing without one tied on.
From: Trawick: Cullman, AL 10/9/15
Comments: This frog made me a believer in fishing hollow body frogs. The hook-up ratio is awesome and it draws multiple blow-ups even after a recast. I've not had to make any adjustments to the hook or skirt; it simply is good to go right out of the package. Got them in a few colors and they all produce, but dat bubonic Chronic make the bass choke, shh, this ain't no joke.
From: J: USA 7/13/15
Comments: Ish's Phat frog has quickly come my go to frog. This bait walks with ease and having the legs already pre trimmed certainly makes a big difference. Also with thr internal rattle chamber helps fish key in on the bait with working it over thr thickest of mats.
From: Ryan: IL 6/14/15
Comments: This frog is a winner.The bass are spawning on my lake right now and walking this frog over a one's head is simply something ole melonhead can't handle most of the time.
From: Robert: Columbia, SC 5/6/15
Comments: The Ish Phat Frog is the best frog I've used by far. The hook up percentage is unbelievable. I like the Cali color seems to work best for me. I've won over 14 tournament's in the last 2 years. I'm happy to say this frog was a huge part to my success.
From: Luke: Ft. Lauderdale, FL 2/10/15
Comments: Snag Proof frogs are the best frogs on the market. I hate having to squeeze water out of a frog, especially when you wanna cast right back out there. With the itt technology that is put into these frogs you will never have to do this. Some of my favorite colors are Buck Nasty and CAli. You will not find a better frog out there.
From: Stephen: Hope Mills, NC 1/26/15
Comments: This is hands down the best frog I have ever fished. Snag Proof and Ish Monroe really went the extra mile on this frog. I can use it to skip under docks and overhanging trees, fish it through a laydown, and walk it through vegetation. You name it, this frog can do it. It's the easiest frog to walk that I have ever fished. It also collapses very easily and it has helped my hook up ratio on the frog a lot. 5 stars!
From: Trevor: Knoxville, TN 1/23/15
Comments: Living in Florida I'm naturally a big fan of hollow body frog fishing. I bought this frog in several colors to try out today and I just got back from breaking in the Cali color on Lake Seminole and I'm very impressed. First, this frog has a glass rattle that's loud enough to call fish up from under thick mats. Second, the tube concept this frog employs WORKS. The hook is secured in a tube that makes this frog pretty much unsinkable. All day of hard fishing and it never took on water. Last but not least this frog is a joy to walk requiring almost no effort. This is the only frog I've found that walks and skips as easy as the Spro Bronzeye Shad. At first I thought a negative would be the softness of the plastic used as it is a little firmer than the Spro or Live Target but I caught several bass today that were hooked rock solid so I guess it's firmer but still soft enough for good hooksets. For the price this is a fantastic frog and is every bit as good if not a little better overall than the Spro or LiveTarget.
From: Hydrilla Gorilla: Lake Seminole, FL 10/1/14
Comments: First time out with this frog I caught around 35-40 fish with two kickers over 6 pounds, I missed about 20 which wasn't the frogs fault half user error and then the other half is because they were swiping at it at times, this frog walks flawlessly, it's my new favorite, I will be buying more very soon,only complaint is the weight fell off but even after it fell off I still fished with it till the end of the day and it still caught fish, highly recommend this frog anyway
From: Big J: FL 9/1/14
Comments: Now this frog may not be as a soft as a koppers or a jackall frog but it's till pretty dang soft, I've yet to miss a fish on it and it has strong good hooks. Secondly you could cut this frog in half and it would still float it's insane. Also it walks extremely easy, you don't have to set there and fight the frog to be abel to walk it, it's almost effortless. I've read some of the reviews on paint jobs and I don't think those guys get that it doesn't have to be some elaborate frog like a koppers but even those the bottom are all pearl it's really the color schemes, and they have all the color schemes you would need. I really have no complaints about this frog and the skirt is like no other I've seen, it has awesome flare. Most frogs have at least one or two flaws but this one is close to the perfect frog
From: JT: FL 8/26/14
Comments: By far the best frog I've ever used. I've used all the top Brands even some of the lesser know ones too like the Transpoter. this is the easiest frog to walk. It won't sink. It come through the thick stuff no problem. Hook up ratio is great.It does all the things I look for in a frog. Oh yeah and the Bass pound it. Great product will be my go to frog. Untill someone makes something better. Gotta keep an open mind. I'm always willing to try a new bait but this ones gonna be tuff to beat.
From: Jared: Peace Dale, RI 3/3/14
Comments: Frog is sick, I have 4 all in papa midnight. They cast forever, no tumble on the cast, and they are accurate on the cast, if you know how to cast right. Fish under 2lbs, not the best hookup ratio but if you stick quality fish they inhale it and the hooks are rock solid. I fish it on a 7'6" H, 65lb power pro and have no problem sticking good fish on almost every strike. They walk like a dream, and if you pop em hard in place and give it lots of slack, it will do 180s and hang in the strike zone forever. Price is great, durability is even better.
From: Kyle: GA
Comments: lets just say spro and snag proof are my goto on frogs there are others but why pay a lot more for something that doesnt work as good
From: Laboomba: TX
Comments: really like the sexy ish this color gets fish in the boat and one thing I like to do is skip it under a fallen tree then walk it through
From: Trent: Chariton, IA
Comments: I love the purple kush! Absolutely love it! The OG is always nice in the evenings. One of my all time fav's! Whenever...wherever the chronic always hits the spot..... Oops, that's right, I'm writing a review for the phat frog and not for medical.... Umm... Ya know... Well anyway, Ish makes a mean frog, you won't be disappointed. There not as pretty as other frogs but they work. period.
From: MRH: SB, CA
Comments: Some guys buy baits cause their are pretty but I buy snag proof cause they catch fish! When these hit the market I had to try them and wow! no more draining the frog every 3rd cast! Between the Ishalicious and the Moss Mouse I don't use any other frog now!
From: Alan: Houston, TX
Comments: By far the best frog on the market. This frog will walk way easier than any other frog which is great for people new to frog fishing. The hookup ratio is as high or higher than any other frog after bending the hooks up a little bit. Dont confuse missed strikes and blame the frog... when big momma gets this thing, she will be in the boat.
From: Megan: OH
Comments: These frogs are ugly, and look cheap...the paint sucks, but they put fish in the boat. There are a lot of frogs out there designed to catch fisherman, im guilty too....but if the most important thing is catching, this frog will get it done. Bend the hooks out a little for a better hook-up ratio!!
From: Mike: SoCal
Comments: This is such a bad ass that i dont use spro anymore, gave my old regular bobby b hollow away. I think my hook up ratio is about 80% right now. Love how i no longer have to squeeze the water out. I can lit sit for a while with no worry of it sinking as i start to work it. Only other frog going to try is bobby b buzz.
From: Sir Calvin: CA
Comments: The best frog sold,periodUse braid and good heavy rod at least 7'3.Go Ish
From: Tony: West Chester, PA
Comments: This is the best frog on the market period. I own 6 and have 5 different colors. All fish catchers. I fish the cal delta exclusively... For those of you who say the hook up ratio is bad, learn how to frog fish...? Don't use the Walmart special ugly stick. Get a stout 7+ foot rod. I use a 7'6 heavy, and I use the frog stock right from the package.
Comments: BEST frog out there! my biggest problem has been sinking frogs - especially with spros. This frog doesn't sink, it's perfect.
Comments: Don't believe the griping about low hook-up ratios. Bend the hooks to give yourself a gap of about two millimeters, use braid and you're ready to rock. Excellent frog.
From: John: Stockton, CA
Comments: I'm not a fan of ish monroe in the least and swore I'd never buy anything with his name on it but I was given one of these and after it performed so well I bought a couple. Great frog on the mats.
From: Mike: Jackson, MO
Comments: great frog, the key IMO is to turn your hooks out away from the body just slightly, I found this greatly increases your chances of getting a good hook set and landing your dream fish. I personally love the black.
From: Wayne: Eagle, NE
Comments: This frog is awesome. I smashed tons of fish on it all season. It does not sink or take on water and works flawlessly. It also takes a beating from fish including toothy critters. The bottom line is, if I set the hook right that fish was coming in the boat. I caught some real nice fish including a 5 pounder that put up an incredible fight, it went in the weeds, it went under the boat, it never gave up, but in the end it was flipped into the boat for a photo op. It was one of my most memorable catches. My other frogs now sit in the box and donÕt see daylight.
From: Adam: NY
Comments: Took one down to the practice pond, and, within an hour, landed two missed one. I just barely bent the hooks up too. Worked great in my opinion.
Comments: I really wanted to like this frog, but I agree with others that say the hook up ratio is lower than some other frogs. I find that it does not collapse as easily, and the hook gap is too narrow with too much plastic/rubber in the way. When I first used this, I missed 15 fish and finally hooked the 16th. Haven't thrown it since. The positives of this frog are that it casts very well, and the hooks are super sharp.
From: Mike: PA
Comments: good frog but i like my tru tungstun mad maxx more but still good frog
Comments: Great frog for heavy cover. Won't roll and tumble as you work it through the thick pads. It has proven to be very durable and hook up ration is very good.
From: H20man: DE
Comments: very good hook up ratio. easy to walk as well
From: Godzilla: Delta, CA
Comments: Love this frog. Have one of the best hook up ratios with this frog as well. One of my favorites without a doubt as well as the Spro 65!
From: Tiago, Lowell, MA
Comments: This is my favorite frog. Walks like no other frog I've used. It really is unsinkable. Zero problems with hook up ratio here. WAY better than spros IMO...
From: Jacob: IN
Comments: Great walking frog however i wonder how much doctoring a guy has to do to have this tournament ready. Fished SPROS for years and with a little tinkering they hook over 75% of the bites. With this one, ive tried bending the hooks, softening the tops, and it seems the shape of the frog blocks alot of the hook (the sides of the frog). I got alot of blowups but the hookup ratio is quite low.
From: AJ: Wisconsin
Comments: Has replaced Bobby's Perfect as my #1 Frog. Easiest walking Frog out there. Doesn't sink and great hookups!
From: Ken: Chicago, IL
Comments: Not my favorite frog. The thin profile combined with the thick walls of the air chamber donÕt leave much hook gap. Walks nice and casts well but the hook up ratio is much lower than some others IMO.
From: Joe: Leesville, SC
Comments: have you ever seen a blue frog? a boat load of bass have and it was a ISH'S phat frog in the iced out color tied onto my braided line. 75% of the time color is not that important on top water bait's unless the water is clear. this seem's to be the exception to that rule. all the standard frog color's are effective with black and white leading the parade. ol' blue just crowded in. bubble gum and red frog's are also in the hunt but ol' blue is now my favorite "strange" frog color. why do bass like it? who care's?? this color work's on at least 5 different lake's, miles apart. the phat frog is also the best at not absorbing water--so far!
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: VERY GOOD FROG!!! i fish frogs almost every time im on the water... spros, snagproofs, tru-tungsten, stanley ribbit and any more and this is one of my go to's. BLACK BLACK BLACK is the best color.... and platinum plus. caught a 6 pounder this year on the BLack!!! get some and try for yourself!
From: Gunnar: Viroqua, WI
Comments: This has to be the best quality hollow body frog on the market. I can't imagine any other frog being as tough or effective as this one! Over the past few months I, and the voracious bucket mouths ,have really put a beating on ish's phat frog, and nary a sign of wear or tear on the frog -- all the rubber strands are intact, the hooks are still very sharp, the colors have not faded. It looks the same as when I first took it out of the package .And trust me when I say that i've fished this frog **hard**.
From: Matt: Massachusetts, USA
Comments: This is the best frog ive ever used bye far. if u hate fishin frogs cause u have 2 empty it and squeeze water out every cast, then this is the frog for you! This frog will never sink! Its the only frog ill ever use!!!
From: Mike: Johnstown, PA
Comments: Best frog on the market. Great hook up ratio and frog won't sink!!
From: Stephen: Sacramento, CA
Comments: I like the color patterns and the design aspects, not to mention the components. They definitely are unsinkable as Ish claims. If you are looking for a frog that doesn't need to be emptied every 4th cast, this is the one for you.
From: John: Virginia, USA

In-Game Blog/Box score
Towson, Md. – Drexel's offense scored seven of the game's eight goals in the second half as the Dragons defeated Towson, 13-5. The win clinched a spot in the upcoming Colonial Athletic Association tournament as the Dragons improved to 4-2 in CAA play. The game started almost an hour later than scheduled due to inclement weather.
The Dragons (6-7) had five players score at least two goals as they turned a 6-4 halftime lead into a one-sided affair. Brendan Glynn and Towson's (7-6, 2-3) Andrew Hodgson traded goals in the early going of the second half to make it 7-5. That goal by Hodgson at the 8:13 mark turned out to be the final goal of the day for the Tigers. Drexel ended the game with six unanswered goals. Kyle Bergman scored two in the run for the Dragons, while Ryan Belka, Glynn, Aaron Prosser and Jared Boudreau had the others.
Drexel led 2-1 at the end of the first period and jumped out to a four-goal lead midway through the second quarter. Brendan Glynn and Aaron Prosser scored first quarter goals for the Dragons sandwiched around a goal from Matt Lamon. Drexel outshot the Tigers, 11-5, in the first 15 minutes, but Andrew Wascavage made eight saves in the quarter. Drexel's offense kept the pressure on in the early going in the second quarter and had goals from Robert Church, Ryan Belka and Ben McIntosh to take a 5-1 lead. Towson's Sean Maguire and Church traded goals to make it 6-2 with under seven minutes left in the half. However, the four-goal lead was quickly cut in half as the Tigers scored twice within five seconds. Carl Iacona scored the first of the two goals, and after the Tigers won the face-off, Luke Pellizzi set up Lamon for his second of the night to make it 6-4 with 5:30 remaining in the half. Towson had its chances to get even closer as it went on the man-up twice in the final five minutes of intermission. Jason Klunder was called for a technical and then earned another when he left the box early according to the referees. The Dragons man-down unit killed off both penalties and the Dragons took a two-goal lead to the locker room.
Bergman and Church each had two goals and two assists for Drexel. Church is now tied for 14th all-time at Drexel with 80 career goals. Glynn recorded his second hat trick of the season. The Dragons tied their top scoring game of the season with the 13 goals and could have had more if it wasn't for Wascavage. The junior made a career-best 21 stops in the game.
The Dragons close the regular season on Saturday when St. John's visits Vidas Field. It will be Senior Day for Coach Voelker's squad and Drexel's nine seniors will be recognized prior to the contest.

UNEP to observe Earth Hour in support of action on climate change
Nairobi, 20 March 2009 - The United Nations will observe Earth Hour on Saturday, 28 March at its Headquarters in New York and at other UN facilities around the world including the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) offices in Nairobi, Kenya.
It is part of an effort to mobilize global support for a new UN agreement to address climate change when governments meet in Copenhagen in December.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called Earth Hour "a way for the citizens of the world to send a clear message. They want action on climate change."
"It promises to be the largest demonstration of public concern about climate change ever attempted. People will be telling their representatives to seal a deal in Copenhagen, a deal at the climate change talks that will protect people and the planet," he said.
Earth Hour, launched two years ago in Australia by the WWF, the global conservation organization, calls for people, communities and cities to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour starting at 8:30 p.m. local time. The symbolic effort will be observed by more than 1,000 cities and close to a billion people this year.
The UN will be joining many other landmarks around the world in turning off its lights at its New York Headquarters and at other locations.
Secretary-General Ban said the deal that emerges from Copenhagen must be ambitious, fair and effective, and based on sound science.
"We are on a dangerous path," he said. "Our planet is warming. We must change our ways. We need green growth that benefits all communities. We need sustainable energy for a more climate-friendly, prosperous world. This is the path of the future. We must walk it together."
Earth Hour occurs the day before the first round of crucial UN negotiations this year on the new climate change agreement is set to begin in Bonn, Germany. The negotiations, which will take place from 29 March to 8 April, will be the first of three sessions leading up to the Copenhagen Climate Change summit in December.
The Earth Hour event will take place one week after the vernal equinox-when night and day are the same duration in both hemispheres-which ensures that it will be nighttime for all people, wherever they are at 8:30 in the evening.

Coppin State University Wins American Institute of Architects Award
Published Monday, December 10th, 2012
Coppin State University Wins American Institute of Architects Award for the Design
Coppin State University was recently recognized by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as the 2012 AIA Maryland Design winner for Public Building of the Year-Urban Design and Master Planning for the designing of the campus' quad and café.
The architect was Cho Benn Holback and Associates, Inc.
The AIA Maryland Design Awards program recognizes excellence in architectural design by AIA Maryland architects worldwide and for AIA member work in Maryland. Built and unbuilt projects submitted by AIA members are judged on their merit by a distinguished jury of AIA architects. The annual AIA Maryland Design Awards program provides member architects an avenue for peer recognition and honors the architects, clients, and consultants who work together to improve the built environment.
With this program AIA Maryland hopes to encourage and recognize distinguished architectural achievement and raise public consciousness of the Architect's role in shaping the quality of life through design excellence in the community, states the site.
In the comments, the judges stated that the "stark brick plaza located between the library, an academic/classroom building, and the blank rear wall of the student center is elegantly transformed into the center of a re-imagined campus. A thin, simple, and elegant café, added to the rear of the student center, re-orients the north side of the building to form the edge of the new quadrangle."
The judges add that "The jury recognizes this project as exemplary of the transformative power of architecture to improve the lives of those it touches."

"I really love these boots. They are like none other rain boots, which is one of the main reasons why I love them. I ordered half a size down from a 6 1/2 to a 6 and it still feels a little bit loose. To some, it may be perfect, but I like my shoes tight. These boots are stylish and great if you want to look in style even in the rain. And I love the buckle. I would have liked it even more if the buckle was attached on more firmly. But if it ever falls off, I guess I can just superglue it back on."

Whether you want to lose weight or simply eat healthier, enjoying a couple of snacks each day is a smart habit for many people. Eating a planned snack between meals can help curb your hunger (and therefore prevent overeating at mealtime) and also increase your energy levels when you need a boost. Snacks offer an additional benefit for people with type 2 diabetes: They can help optimize your blood glucose control. So if you haven't incorporated snacks into your diabetes meal plan yet, now may be the time to start. Here's what you need to know to snack smart, along with some carbohydrate-controlled snack ideas you can try today!
3 Considerations When Planning Snacks
The number of snacks a person with diabetes should eat during the day depends largely on your eating preferences, your weight-management goals, and the timing of your major meals. People with diabetes can eat snacks throughout the day for a number of reasons—simply enjoying a mid-morning snack or planning them into their day for better blood glucose control. Exactly how many snacks you should eat—and when you eat them—is very individualized. Meeting with a registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator is the best way to make sure your diabetes meal plan meets your needs. However, here are a few basic guidelines that can be helpful when planning snacks.
People with diabetes should follow a daily meal plan to achieve specific calorie and carbohydrate goals for each meal, and snacks are no exception. In general, a diabetes-friendly snack should contain 15 to 30 grams of carbohydrates and between 100 to 200 calories. If you are planning several snacks in addition to your meals, consider using the lower end of the recommendation: 15 grams of carbohydrates and 100 calories. Adding one ounce (7 grams) of protein to your snack is optional. At one time, people with diabetes were encouraged to eat protein with each snack because it was thought to "level out" increases in blood sugar after a meal. Recent research, however, does not support this theory, so eating protein at every snack is not a must for everyone—although it can increase feelings of fullness after eating, which is beneficial.

Dorner vs. Obama
by Tim Wenger
posted Feb 13 2013 1:05PM
I can't be the only one that got so wrapped up in the coverage of the culmination of the search for Christopher Dorner that I was downright disappointed as 9pm approached and I knew the networks would make the switch to the State of the Union Address. Even the news networks knew they had the nation's attention and held on to Dorner coverage as long as they could. But then, as expected, they pulled the plug and went to the obligatory coverage of the President getting into the limousine, entering the House and all the pomp and circumstance that goes along with the annual address.
Now I realize the State of the Union is important and I also realize there are many who would rather hear what the President had to say than watch a cabin burn out. And just in case you're thinking this is partisan and wouldn't be written if a Republican was in office, that's not true! I don't recall a story of the Dorner magnitude hitting on the night of the address. It was a real live drama being played out and the culmination of a manhunt that terrified southern California and captivated a nation. I would have felt the same if Reagan were still in office.
With CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and FOX, I was hoping just one of the networks would flip-flop standard policy and keep the Dorner coverage in the forefront and run crawl updates on the State of the Union. That's how I think as a programmer. If WBEN had the wherewithal to offer either/or, I would have gone with Dorner. Unfortunately our radio network, CBS, wasn't offering the option. We were relegated to offering four updates an hour on Dorner while presenting the State of the Union.
Just ask a few people around work today. What were you more interested in? I'm guessing I know the answer.

Surprisingly comfy!
"I wasn't expecting much comfort from this shoe, but there's plenty of room for your feet in them, the heel's a comfortable height, and they're great! The only negative I'd point out is that they are incredibly glittery, even on the heel-- I'll be shedding glitter all night long, and for that reason they feel a little teeny-bopper-y, but mostly they're cute and comfy!"

Despite the overwhelming evidence that orcas suffer in captivity and more and more people disapproving of marine mammal confinement, the Miami Seaquarium and Marineland Antibes continue to keep intelligent orcas in tiny concrete tanks.
Lolita hasn't socialized or interacted with other orcas since 1980 when her tankmate, Hugo, died after reportedly ramming his head into the side of the tank. Many believe it was a desperate attempt to break out of the tank—or even commit suicide.
At least 20 orcas have died at Marineland Antibes, including two just last year—among them, a 19-year-old orca named Valentin who was killed by severe flooding, along with other animals. At the park, orcas swim in repetitive patterns, vomit, chew the sides of the concrete tanks until their teeth are damaged beyond repair, and bang their heads against the concrete walls. Four months before the floods, Valentin's mother, Freya, also died—decades before the maximum life expectancy of orcas in nature.
Speak up for Lolita, Wikie, Inouk, Moana, and Keijo by telling the parent company of Miami Seaquarium and Marineland Antibes to retire them to a seaside sanctuary, where they can feel waves, hear wild pods, and live a more natural life.

Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, has described China as the most "sophisticated and prolific" hacker of foreign companies in his upcoming book, according to leaked extracts.
Schmidt, in his book "The New Digital Age", said that the disparity between American and Chinese firms and their tactics will put both the government and the companies of the US at a distinct disadvantage, because the US will not take the same path of digital corporate espionage, as its laws are much stricter - and better enforced - and because illicit competition violate the American sense of fair play, reports the Telegraph.

Skip to comments.One-third all NY babies aborted but Gov. Cuomo pushes for more
Posted on 03/29/2013 5:55:00 PM PDT by neverdem
Here's the link.
It's time to call this so-called Catholic a "Baby-Killer" on signs and posters and at protests.
Let's give the thug some of his own medicine.
People ought to call for his excommunication from the Catholic Church, along with Pelosi and others.
The worm must turn.
God is going to get us for allowing this kind of tragedy to continue.
Democrats love dead babies.
"But Master, there are no more cracka babies."
"Then bring me babies--babies of any color--must kill babies..."
Okay...now who is it that demands the sacrifice of innocents? It isn't God (He loves babies)...
Gosh...who is it who demands the sacrifice of innocent blood?
For black babies - there is more than a 50% chance they will be aborted in NYS.
The Cuomo crime family has ENORMOUS appetites.
New York state passes budget on time third year in a row
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Yeah the ironic part is that if conservatives were the evil people the MSM says we are, we'd be out campaigning for MORE abortions.
Because those are future Democrat voters being killed.
I swear I heard Emperor Cuomo say that he "likes babies" ... maybe he was misquoted and he really said he "like to kill babies". Maybe he likes to join Czar Bloomberg for the weekend and have a couple of beers and watch "baby snuff films" ... probably, they both act kind of weird.
Maybe with a little mashed potato on the side and some chilled Chablis.
Time for Cardinal Dolan to be Pastoral and make sure Andrew receives Holy Communion.
What would you do if you found out that Skelos will allow this to come to the floor in the senate because he has the votes to get it to pass? He has vowed to everyone that this Bill will not pass in the senate but new information has come to my attention that such a thing just may happen and happen soon.
Skelos has already proven himself to be a traitor with the 2nd Amendment and his lying support for the unsafe act. Now this and next, the dream act. This man has to be removed from his leadership role in the senate. I am afraid things will get very testy in the next couple weeks.
Dolan loves baby killers. Love the sinner, not the sin, right Cardinal?
Have these people never heard of birth control, contraceptives or neutering? It's a far better solution than aborting a pregnancy.
Thanks for the ping!
Have these people never heard of birth control, contraceptives or neutering? Its a far better solution than aborting a pregnancy.
Yes, it seems that these things would decrease the number of abortions, but in reality, the number of abortions increases as the rate of birth control use increases.
More people having sex out there equals more pregnancies. Why else does Planned Parenthood push condoms and all kinds of free and premarital sex? It makes for more pregnancies they can prey upon ...
These people are BLOOD THIRSTY — how else will we get pregnancies they can feast on?

People like Cuomo cannot hear their conscience at all. They may look human, but their consciousness is like that of a lizard. Fiends. Not ENOUGH babies killed. Anyone wanting on/off either ping list, FREEPMAIL me.
Cuomo is a proud, bombastic progressive.
You are being too nice...
Killing off humans is a big agenda item for the billionaire club.L
Why would God ever save this nation? Why should He?
1) Abortion
Millions can show up to buy a chicken sandwich or fill the Capitol's mall but can't figure out a way to end abortion? Really?
2)Godless socialist-entitlement and single-payer K-12 schooling:
85% of our nation's children attend godless government owed and run schools where they must learn to think and reason godlessly just too cooperate in the godless classroom. Yet, if conservatives and Christians merely removed their kids, in many counties ( and even entire states), the entire evil K-12 system would collapse. These temples of godless indoctrination exist because conservatives and Christians are addicted to tax paid babysitting.
Ironically wiping out generations of voters. Not that I am in favor of it, just pointing out irony
Here's a pro-life group, who are working hard, to fight Cuomo's abortion expansion agenda.

The Colorado chapter of Americans for Prosperity – whose controversial parent organization has strong ties to right-wing causes - launched an ad campaign Aug. 21 in support of Douglas County School District's education reforms.
Director Dustin Zvonek, a Douglas County resident, said the timing of the campaign is not related to the November school board election.
"This comes in response to efforts by teacher unions and other left-wing special interests to reverse years of progress in the district," according to a press release from AFP Colorado.
"We don't get involved in races," said Zvonek, whose children are enrolled in Douglas County schools. "What we care about is highlighting the reforms that are being put in place by the school district, and making sure the residents of the district know about them. They are being leaders in terms of pushing the envelope on education reform.
"Despite some of the misinformation (residents) might be hearing, the school district is actually getting stronger for the people that matter most — which is of course the students."
The press release describes school board critics' efforts as "counterproductive."
"While those hoping to roll back such innovations are desperately trying to paint these and other positive changes as something counterproductive and controversial, the district by all measures is not just healthy but thriving thanks to a pro-reform school board," it reads.
Zvonek described AFP Colorado as a free-market organization involved in a number of issues, including education reform.
AFP Colorado is funded by private donations, Zvonek said.
"We're funded by lots of people from all across the state," he said.
Zvonek is a former lobbyist who was employed by EIS Solutions in 2011 and 2012. The company specializes in "grassroots coalition building," including legislative affairs, strategic message development and survey research, according to its website. In 2011, EIS was a campaign consultant for Douglas County Citizens for Education Reform, which supported two ultimately unsuccessful school district tax-hike proposals.
The Puliter Prize-winning PolitiFact, which fact-checks statements from politicians, lobbyists and special interest groups, gives low marks to AFP, the Colorado's chapter parent organization. It rates one-third of its evaluated ads "mostly false," and gives 22 percent of them its "pants on fire" rating — a category reserved for "the most ridiculous falsehoods."
AFP's website says it is "an organization of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state, and federal levels."
AFP was founded with support from billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch, who are known for their support of right-wing causes and advocacy groups.
Currently, AFP is campaigning against the national health care legislation known as Obamacare.
In 2011 and 2012, AFP was a private-sector member of the American Legislative Exchange Council, a national nonprofit of legislators and private companies whose members write model legislation.

PARIS (AP) — French police discovered bomb-making materials in an underground parking lot near Paris as part of a probe of an "extremely dangerous terrorist cell" linked to an attack on a kosher grocery, a state prosecutor said Wednesday.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls said some of the 12 suspected cell members arrested over the weekend appeared to have plans to go to Syria to fight in its civil war. Valls, quoted in an interview posted Wednesday on the website of Paris Match magazine, said some had "unquestionably" spent time in Tunisia and Egypt. He did not elaborate.
Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said the discovery of the bomb-making materials late Tuesday in Torcy, east of the capital, led authorities to invoke a rarely used legal clause to allow them to extend questioning of the 12 suspects by a day — and possibly two.
Authorities have been on high alert for possible terror attacks by radical Islamists after a Frenchman who claimed links to al-Qaida shot and killed three Jewish children, a rabbi and three paratroopers in southern France in March.
Investigators were led to the parking lot through information collected during questioning of the suspects, who were arrested in weekend raids across France in a probe of a firebombing of the grocery north of Paris last month, Molins said.
Authorities believe the two organizers of the Sept. 19 grenade attack in Sarcelles are in custody, Molins said. However, he suggested that the two people who actually carried it out could still be at large.
"When there is a serious risk of the imminence of a terrorist action in France, police custody — after 96 hours — can be extended by 24 hours," Molins told reporters at the downtown Paris courthouse.
It was only the second such extension since a 2006 revision to France's powerful anti-terrorism legislation. In most terrorism cases, police can detain suspects for questioning for up to four days before preliminary charges are filed or the suspects are released for a lack of enough evidence to merit prosecution.
In Torcy, investigators recovered bags of potassium nitrate, sulfur, saltpeter, headlight bulbs and a pressure cooker — "all products or instruments useful to make what are called 'improvised explosive devices,'" Molins said.
"We can say that we are clearly and objectively facing an extremely dangerous terrorist cell," he said.
Masked police investigators, backed by riot police, returned to the apartment building and underground lot in Torcy to continue poring over the contents Wednesday.
On Saturday, police shot the suspected leader of the cell, Jeremie Louis-Sidney, after he opened fire on them during a raid in Strasbourg. Police found weapons, cash and a list of Paris-area Israeli associations after raids in Strasbourg, near the Riviera resort of Cannes, and in the Paris area — including Torcy.
Molins said Saturday that the suspects in custody were French and recent converts to Islam. Four of the men involved in the raid had written wills. One was carrying a loaded gun when arrested.
Justice Minister Christiane Taubira said the prosecutor and police investigators were conducting their work "with the necessary seriousness and meticulousness, clearly in respect of our state of law."
Retiree Jacqueline Pierre-Brebois, a resident of the Torcy apartment building, said she and her husband were "scared" after learning of the stash right under them.
"We thought, 'we're sleeping over a pressure cooker' — because we live right above the garage," she told AP Television News. "We didn't know what was happening, but it's true it was worrisome ..."
"We haven't slept for the three days since they arrested somebody here," Pierre-Brebois said of herself and her husband, Philippe.
Sylvie Corbet in Paris and Nicolas Garriga in Torcy, France, contributed to this report.

NFC Divisional Playoffs
Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers
Saturday, 8 p.m. ET, at Candlestick Park, San Francisco
+TV: Fox
+Announcers: Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Pam Oliver, Erin Andrews
+The Covers.com line: 49ers by 3
+Keys to the game: This is a rematch from Week 1 in Green Bay, a 30-22 victory by the 49ers, but quite a bit has changed since then. Colin Kaepernick has replaced Alex Smith as Niners quarterback, and K David Akers -- who tied an NFL record with a 63-yard field goal in the opener -- is fighting for his job. The Packers have hit their stride since then, winning 10 of 12 games, and have scored at least 21 points in all but one of them as QB Aaron Rodgers has put together a season that statistically mirrors his MVP campaign of 2011. The screen game was effective against the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card game and should be in the arsenal in this game against an aggressive 49ers defense that sacked Rodgers three times and hit him five times in Week 1. Will 49ers DE Justin Smith (triceps) play? He practiced all last week and has vowed to be out there. The 49ers defense isn't the same without him.
+Matchup to watch: Kaepernick vs. Packers defense. The Packers did a nice job handling mobile Joe Webb, considering they had almost no preparation for the athletic Vikings quarterback, who was a surprise starter. Now the Packers will devote a week of film study to Kaepernick -- who gained 17 rushing yards on his only snap against them in Week 1 -- and try to find ways to contain him. He can run (415 rushing yards, five TDs in 2012) and throw (1,814 passing yards, 10TDs, three interceptions) but has had a few shaky moments. Defending Webb gaves the Packers a nice tuneup, though Kaepernick is far superior.
+ Player spotlight: Packers right tackle Don Barclay. Green Bay has had to shuffle things up front, and the protection of Rodgers clearly is the top priority. But Barclay is athletic and has held his own since becoming a starter. He rebounded from a poor game against the Vikings in Week 17 to play well in the wild-card victory. Niners linebacker Ahmad Brooks (sack, three quarterback hits) gave former Packers starter Bryan Bulaga fits in the first matchup.
+Fast facts: 49ers RB Frank Gore is San Francisco's all-time leader in rushing attempts (1,911) and rushing touchdowns (51). ... The Packers' Randall Cobb (2,342 yards) finished first in the NFL and broke Ahman Green's franchise record (2,250 in 2003) for most all-purpose yards in a season.
+ Who will win and why:
The Packers are getting their wide receivers healthy at the right time (although WR Jordy Nelson did limp off late against the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round), and their defense is hitting its stride as well.
The 49ers might be able to churn out yards with QB Colin Kaepernick and RB Frank Gore on the ground, and wide receiver Michael Crabtree clearly has become a better weapon since the first matchup. But Rodgers might be too much this time -- even against this menacing 49ers defense. He appears focused and ready to make a playoff run, like he and the Packers did in the 2010 postseason en route to a Super Bowl title.
The late-season addition of RB DuJuan Harris has given the Packers' offense a nice dynamic. Rodgers and Green Bay will not be denied in what should be a classic game.
+ Who has the edge:
When the Packers run the ball: Really, it's no contest -- DuJuan Harris and Ryan Grant (neither of whom were on the roster at season's start) against the league's fourth-ranked rushing defense. Harris and Grant might be able to impact the game when the Packers throw the ball, both in terms of protection and catching screens. But there will be no running on this 49ers' front seven. They have the best pair of inside linebackers in the game in Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. Edge: 49ers
When the Packers pass the ball:Aaron Rodgers will nickel and dime the 49ers and distribute the ball, but if they lose coverage and the Packers pass block well, Rodgers will roast them. Edge: Packers
When the 49ers run the ball:Frank Gore is the meat-and-potatoes back, and he has revived his career over the past two seasons running behind a potent line. The Packers are more healthy with DE C.J. Wilson and LB Clay Matthews back in the lineup, and they held Adrian Peterson in check in the wild-card win. But can they contain Gore, QB Colin Kaepernick and RB LaMichael James for four quarters? Doubtful. Edge: 49ers
When the 49ers pass the ball: Kaepernick has helped make Michael Crabtree a top receiver. Delanie Walker, Randy Moss and Vernon Davis also can make hay. The Packers secondary was boosted by the return of DB Charles Woodson. Edge: Even
Special teams: No two teams have bigger kicking questions, although the Packers' Mason Crosby has settled down a bit after midseason yips. The 49ers are picking between kickers David Akers (who was named the kicker for Saturday) and Billy Cundiff -- a shaky situation. The 49ers' coverage teams have been poor at times. Edge: Packers
Coaching: Fiery Jim Harbaugh has won 24 regular-season games and reached an NFC title game in two seasons. Mike McCarthy employs a more steady style but is Harbaugh's equal as an offensive mind -- and McCarthy has a Super Bowl title. Edge: Packers
+ Our pick: Packers 27-21

Fuchsias in fashion
Remember fuchsias? They are so back in fashion. They're available now. Plant in semi-shade. Irises are also back on the hot list.
Peas with beans
Sow peans. They grow like beans but taste like peas. You can eat them small in the pods, or shelled. They take a while but produce lots.
Take it easy
Now that your lawn is growing like mad, you may be tempted to scalp it. Don't. Instead, set the level on the lawnmower a notch higher.
Beat those bugs
It's a good time to put in some companion plants to encourage good bugs into the garden. Try feverfew to deter whitefly. Scatter the leaves over the vege garden.

Did You Know? Countdown to Mother's Day 2009 (04/27)Monday, April 27th, 2009
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore:
Motherhood & Mother's Day
April 27 : 13 days till Mother's Day
Did you know that the first official celebration of mothers in the United States took place in 1858?
Anna Reeves Jarvis campaigned for a Mothers' Work Day in her home state of West Virginia to raise awareness about local sanitation issues. When Jarvis passed away in 1905, her daughter Anna pursued a national mother's day in honor of her own activist mom. Anna's efforts paid off when in 1914, Mother's Day was recognized as a national holiday by Presidential proclamation.
Mother's Day is a time of commemoration and celebration for Mom. It is a time of breakfast in bed, family gatherings, and crayon scribbled "I Love You's." So join our Mother's Day festivities as we present a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Mother's Day on May 10th!

This is a great mega-phone. Great size! Not too big or small and the range is pefect for track events, ie 100 yd dash. My only con would be the battery compartment. You have to take out the batteries when not using the mega-phone for a long period of time.

Caesar said it doesn't like water, and the G-5 guy stated that was all they had to do as well (though I'm assuming it was the most logical assumption he had at the time seeing as he couldn't have known); unless we come to know ice now reacts in some way with Slime, much like fire causes it to explode, then we can't say freezing affects it whatsoever. Regardless, we know it emits gas when provoked/hunting?, is rather intelligent or concious of its surroundings, and of course explodes when lit on fire.
Which again, does anyone have any ideas as to why Slime didn't explode and destroy half the island while it crossed the Fire Lands???

USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt and Sam Amick explain what the Spurs need to do to close out the series and what the Heat need to do to force a game 7.
SAN ANTONIO — In a lighter moment earlier in the NBA Finals, Shane Battier contemplated a question and answered the way only he can.
Why can't the Miami Heat carry any edge, any momentum gained from a victory in one game into the following game?
"That is a question to ask Sigmund Freud," the Heat forward said.
It's not quite time to bring in the psychoanalysis. But it's close. The Heat have alternated wins and losses in 12 consecutive games, and the latest — a 114-104 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the Finals on Sunday — puts them in a dire situation.
In a series of must-wins, the Heat face the ultimate must-win down 3-2 headed into Game 6 on Tuesday (9 p.m. ET, ABC). Either the Heat's streak ends, or the Spurs win the championship.
GAME 5: Ginobili, Spurs push Heat to brink
DOMINANT: Wild stat about Spurs in Finals
SCHEDULE: 2013 NBA Finals times, TV info
Since the advent of the 2-3-2 Finals format in 1985, only three teams have won the final two games at home — the 1988 Los Angeles Lakers against the Detroit Pistons, the 1994 Houston Rockets against the New York Knicks and the 2010 Lakers against the Boston Celtics.
Despite winning a franchise-record 27 consecutive games during the regular season, Miami has not won consecutive games since the end of the Eastern Conference semifinals and start of the conference finals.
"If I knew the answer, we would have won two games in (a) row," Heat forward LeBron James said.
In two of the three games in San Antonio, the Heat's defense failed. Sunday, Miami shot 43.0% from the field but 47.8% on three-pointers and scored 104 points. It wasn't a great offensive night, but it wasn't the offense as much as it was the defense that abandoned the Heat.
The Heat allowed the Spurs to shoot 60% from the field and 40.9% on three-pointers. All five Spurs starters scored in double figures, led by guard Tony Parker's 26 points and 24 points each from guards Manu Ginobili and Danny Green.
During the regular season, Miami only allowed more than 110 points a game three times in non-overtime games. It didn't happen once from Feb. 26 until the start of the Finals, and the Spurs have dropped 113 and 114 on the Heat in two of the past three games.
"It's pretty obvious that we didn't give that same defensive effort that we had in Game 4, and they picked us apart," Heat forward Chris Bosh said. "We didn't have the same effort from the get-go, and we waited until we were down double-digits to respond, and on the road you can't do that. From here on out, we can't continue to shoot ourselves in the foot like that."
PHOTOS: How the Heat's Finals roster was built
Parker, Ginobili and Green were a combined 60.5% from the field, and Green — who has been on fire from deep — made 6-for-10 beyond the arc.
"Come on, they just absolutely outplayed us," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "At times, they were just picking one guy out at a time and going mano y mano. That will change."
The Spurs bedazzled the Heat with ball movement, penetration, inside shots and outside shots.
"Basically everybody on their team was taking turns off the dribble, getting by us and breaking down our defense," Spoelstra said.
PARKER: Spurs star plays well through the pain
LEBRON: Incredible memory "a gift and a curse"
DUNCAN: Spur celebrates Father's Day in-game
In Game 3, the Spurs crushed the Heat late. In Game 5, they did it early and late. San Antonio used a 22-7 run late in the first quarter and early in the second quarter to build a 39-24 lead.
The Heat managed to come back and were within a basket multiple times throughout the third quarter, trailing 61-60 and 75-74.
But from 2:54 of the third to 9:13 of the fourth quarter, the Spurs outscored Miami 21-2 and were 8-for-12 from the field. San Antonio often out-hustled Miami and created outstanding scoring opportunities.
"This is the kind of team that I feel capitalizes on any mistakes you make," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "So if you're a half-second late, they capitalize it."
PHOTOS: Top shots from the 2013 NBA Finals
Now, it's Game 6 and back to Miami for at least one game.The Heat faced a similar situation in the 2011 Finals, when the Heat trailed the Dallas Mavericks 3-2. Dallas won Game 6.
"We're going to see if we're a better team than we were our first year together," Miami forward LeBron James said.
James expressed his frustration Saturday about Miami's inability to win consecutive games the past two series.
"We're well overdue when it's time for us to win consecutive games," he said. "We're at 11 or 12 straight consecutive win-loss, win-loss, win-loss. I think it's time. Enough is enough for our team."
DUNKIN': Game 5 turns into a highlight reel
WEIRD: Spur out of Finals with foot infection
PHOTO: "Birdman" wears a tree to Game 5
It didn't happen in Game 5, and if the Heat are going to win a second consecutive NBA championship, they need to two consecutive games. Miami hasn't loss two consecutive games since early January. A Game 7 looks like strong possibility. But it starts with Game 6, and just like James put the pressure on himself in Game 4, he is doing it again with Miami's season on the line.
"I have to come up big, for sure in Game 6," James said. "But I believe we all have to play at a high level in order to keep the series going. So me being one of the leaders of this team, I do put a lot of pressure on myself to force a Game 7, and I look forward to the challenge."
Spoelstra spent the two off days on Friday and Saturday prepping his team to play one of its best games of the season. That didn't happen. "We were a far cry from it," Spoelstra said.
There's not much time — just Monday and a portion of Tuesday — to put his team in a better position.
"We've got an opportunity to do something special," James said. "And we look forward to it."

Since FormaRed Carbon's inception, Giordana has continued to set the bar of quality cycling apparel higher and higher. Leading the way in the pro peloton, FormaRed Carbon's signature second-skin-fit make it an adored must-have -- even for the Competitive Cyclist Pro Team. Retaining the same features that have made FormaRed Carbon a favorite, Giordana added winter-weight fabrics to keep you riding warm with the Forma Red Carbon Bib Knickers.
Giordana's FormaRed bib knickers are constructed from a sophisticated blend of fabrics that share in the single purpose of keeping you warm. Starting at the seat panels, the SuperRoubaix AZ material has been incorporated to keep you protected from wheel-spray. FormaRed uses this thick, stretchy, and breathable material for its water-repellent qualities. Covering the quads is Giordana's bread-and-butter winter-weight fabric, SuperRoubaix. This material uses an interlocking, microfiber knit construction that creates a highly breathable and warming loft. But, Giordana didn't only place it on the quads for warmth, SuperRoubaix is highly stretchable and also provides a slight compression that dissipates lactic acid buildup. Rounding out the knickers' construction, the knees and calves are made from the brand new SuperRoubaix Carbon. Sharing the same interlocking knit as SuperRoubaix, SR Carbon controls the stretch of the knit in order to isolate muscles for a resistance to early fatigue. Additionally, the carbon fiber blocks out static and rogue atmospheric electrical interference for an increased anaerobic output. Altogether, the materials work in harmony to keep you insulated, protected from the elements, and riding at your best.
The FormaRed Carbon bib knickers use a curved, multi-panel design, that when combined with the malleable fabrics, anatomically conforms to your body's contours while providing a complete freedom of movement. However, to preserve the fit while in movement, Giordana has included a silicone gripper at the cuffs. Ultimately, though, the bib straps are most prone to causing abrasion and moisture buildup. Knowing this, FormaRed's bib straps use the warming, soft, and breathable AeroFix fabric. For ventilation, the 'rear window' over the small of the back is constructed from the Naxos Mesh material. With the FormaRed uppers, security doesn't come at the cost of abrasion and sweat.
The bib knickers' chamois is one that Giordana touts as being the most advanced in the industry -- the Cirro O.F.. We don't deal in absolutes, but we can say that it's the first chamois we've heard of with Aloe Vera particles directly infused into the threads of the microfiber. Aloe is not only a natural bacteria fighter, but its implementation in the fiber provides a cooling effect that protects and heals during activity. Below the skin layer, the Cirro has a 4mm-thick pad of waffled-texture expanding memory foam. The texture aids in ventilation by moving moisture to the perimeter of the chamois where accelerated evaporation can occur. The final layer of the chamois is a thick section of hand-sewn open cell padding with recessed channels for pressure relief. These technologies amount to a chamois that won't get wet and nasty 100 miles into a ride, let alone 20.
To enhance visibility in low-light conditions, Giordana also incorporated reflective elements throughout the bib knickers.
The Giordana FormaRed Carbon Bib Knickers are available in the color Black and in five sizes from Small to XX-Large.

How to Do Eye Makeup for Close-Set Eyes
Close-Set Eyes
Our makeup artist's share their secrets to elongating and lengthening eyes for a beautiful, balanced look.
Step 1:
First use fingertip to apply a light layer of Prime Time Eyelid Primer to eyelids.
Items Used:
Step 2:
Apply a neutral matte shade with a soft sheen, like Vanilla Sugar Eyecolor, from the brow bone, blending down to the lash line with the Full Tapered Shadow Brush, which gives a high payoff of color.
Items Used:
Step 3:
Press Vanilla Sugar Eyecolor on the eyelids with the Full Tapered Shadow Brush. Start at the lash base and pat up to just below the crease color.
Items Used:
Step 4:
Buff on a slight amount a Smoky plum shimmer, such as Soul Sister Eyecolor, with the Eye Defining Brush. Concentrate the color in the outer crease and extend slightly past the outside edge to elongate the eyes.
Items Used:
Step 5:
Load up your Soft Focus Liner Brush with a velvety navy blue Liner Shadow, like Midnight Sky, and tap off any excess. Press the angled edge of the brush right at the lash base of the outer corner of the eye, pressing the color on for a precise, defined line. Concentrate the color on the outer corner and fade color as you work your way to the inner corner.
Items Used:
Step 6:
Layer a few coats of Flawless Definition Mascara onto lashes to frame eyes and really make them stand out. Start at the lash base and wiggle wand in a zigzag motion to separate lashes. Extending the outer lashes elongates the eyes.
Items Used:
Step 7:
To give the look more definition and balance, use the Eye Defining Brush to apply a very small amount of Midnight Sky. With just the tip of the brush, lightly buff the Liner Shadow into the outer crease.

Being a Fan
March 04 2011 12:38PM
We're all aware that being a "fan" is short for being a fanatic, defined by Merriam Webster as: "marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion". That "uncritical" part is important here. A lot of what we endeavour to do in sports blogging is to present accurate and objective analysis of our team and the small things they're doing well.
"We" generally refers to the bloggers and fans of well followed but ultimately crummy teams. The Oilers have an amazing stats based blogosphere thing going on and as a Leafs blogger I try my best to live up to their excellent example daily.
But at our core we're all fans and sometimes you need to forget about being objective. I know that James Reimer isn't the second best goaltender in the league but right now I don't care. I know that Phil Kessel won't keep scoring a goal every game and that eventually the Leafs will lose a one goal game when they enter the third period down by one against a top team but I don't care.
We recorded a podcast last night with Navin "eyebleaf" Vaswani from Sports and the City. Navin's always been a more optimistic Leafs fan than me and though I know he understands stats as well as anyone he's the king of just loving his hockey team.
The Leafs very well may see their luck run out in the coming weeks but for just this once I'm throwing logic out the window and I'm putting my faith in this team. They've earned it. Win or lose it's been great to watch the team and think "they're going to pull this off" instead of "these idiots will blow it as usual". Even if the Leafs miss the playoffs that's made this season worth it.
Let's just enjoy the ride.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next. I've been rooting against NYR, Canes, and Buffalo all week! I'll be hoping that the Leafs beat the Blackhawks tonight, but I'll also be cheering for the Panthers and Philly to pick up 2 points (not in overtime or SO!)
I wanna know where did they find a black guy who was a leafs fan, see right corner of bottom picture. I go to Detroit games a few times each season, and seeing a black hockey fan (with a jersey!) is not common in the least.

You might as well, Chemmy. This sort of thing doesn't happen every year or even every other year, and sometimes it's just a blast to ignore the objective stuff and enjoy the ride.
*Spoken as a fan who hasn't really done that since the Oilers '06 playoff run.
