#TBT: Wreck of the Carl D. Bradley
November 13, 2014
Carl D. Bradley, photo by John Rochon
If you know of any shipwreck on the Great Lakes, chances are it's the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald. While that was no doubt a terrible tragedy, my vote for the most grievous loss is the S.S. Carl D Bradley which sank 56 years ago next Tuesday on November 18, 1957. I found a really excellent article on the ship and shipwreck at Lake Effect Living titled Lost To The Lake: The Wreck of the Carl D. Bradley:
Known as 'Queen of the Lakes', the Carl D. Bradley was the largest ship on the Great Lakes from 1927 to 1949. At 639 feet, it was the longest freighter on the Lakes until the launch of the SS Wilfred Sykes twenty-two years later. The largest self-unloading ship for its time, the Bradley was the Bradley Transportation Company's flagship. Named after the president of Michigan Limestone, Carl David Bradley, this state of the art freighter had its maiden voyage in the summer of 1927. Since Michigan Limestone's company base was in Rogers City, Michigan, the freighter drew most of its crew from this small community.
…On Monday, November 17, 1958, the steamer left Buffington, Indiana bound for Port of Calcite harbor in Rogers City, Michigan.
The Bradley's captain was 52-year old Roland Bryan, a veteran seaman. Manned by a crew of thirty-five and carrying a light cargo, the Bradley headed out onto Lake Michigan at 9:30pm. But signs of severe weather were already in evidence when they left Buffington, where winds gusted at more than 35 miles an hour. It was the first ominous indications of an extreme cold front forming over the plains. Temperatures in Chicago plummeted twenty degrees in one day, and thirty tornadoes were sighted from Texas to Illinois.
Aware that gale winds were forecast, the crew readied the steamer for bad weather. They traveled along the Wisconsin shore until reaching Cana Island, where they shifted course for Lansing Shoal which lay across Lake Michigan. The winds on the lake reached 65 miles an hour by 4pm the following day. Still, the Bradley seemed to be weathering the gale force winds and heavy seas with little problem. This changed at 5:30pm when the Port of Calcite received a radio message from First Mate Elmer Fleming informing them that the Bradley, approx. twelve miles southwest of Gull Island, would arrive home at 2am. As soon as this message was sent however, a loud thud or bang was heard on the ship.
When the day was done, 33 of the 35 member crew were dead, 23 of the from Rogers City, Michigan. For a town of less than 4000, it was a heavy blow. Read on for much more and also see Seeking Michigan: The Wreck of the Carl D. Bradley on Absolute Michigan and the tribute site at carldbradley.org.
John Rochon shared this photo of the Bradley was taken from the Blue Water Bridge by Schjelderup Marine Studio and shows the ship heading towards the mouth of Lake Huron. View it big as the Bradley and see more in his massive Great Lakes Ships & Shipping slideshow.

Fall at Sugar Loaf Rock on Mackinac Island
October 6, 2014
The Rock, photo by Sandy Hansen Photography
Here's a color check-in from last week on Mackinac Island. The Mackinac Island State Park Commission says the following about Sugar Loaf rock romation:
Sugar Loaf, a 75 foot tall limestone stack, is the largest rock formation on Mackinac Island. When glacial Lake Algonquin covered much of the Island 11,000 years ago, Sugar Loaf was connected to the nearby bluff face (today called Point Lookout). Wave action slowly washed away the softer limestone between the stack and the bluff, leaving Sugar Loaf as a stand-alone feature. High water levels during the Lake Algonquin period left only the top of Sugar Loaf exposed, as evidenced by the small cave cut into the north face of the formation by wave action. This cave was originally on the shoreline of the lake.
As with other geological features on the Island, numerous Native American legends have been passed down relating to the origin of Sugar Loaf. One story relates that a young man asked the spirits for eternal life. In response, they turned him to stone, creating Sugar Loaf.

Mackinac's Round Island Passage Light is for sale
August 21, 2014
Somewhere in Light, photo by Kristina Austin Scarcelli
mLive reports that the Government Services Administration is taking bids from nonprofit or community groups to take stewardship of the Round Island Passage Light before auctioning it off. Click through for all the details.
Lighthouse Friends has a page on the Round Island Passage Lighthouse that includes the entry from the 1948 Coast Guard Bulletin on this light that replaced the Round Island Lighthouse (in the background on the left):
The substructure of the new lighthouse, 56 feet square up to the 1 foot line below mean low water, is a timber crib with cells at the perimeter filled with concrete and internal cells filled with 5-inch to 14-inch rock. The superstructure is concrete with a reinforced concrete deck. It has four vertical and four sloping sides, giving the lighthouse a new and unusually trim appearance. The tower is appropriately ornamented on each side with a 4- or 5-foot Indian Head plaque, symbolic of the area.
But the most interesting thing about Round Island Passage Light Station is its main light. Located in the top section of the 41 ½-foot tower, it is indeed a departure from the "single light source" arrangement that has been in use for centuries. This new light apparatus is a solid bank of sealed beam lamps of 3,000 candlepower which produce a characteristic of occulting green every 10 seconds. It is visible 16 miles. (These sealed beam lamps are similar to your present day automobile headlights.)
The fog signal consists of two air operated diaphragm horns, sounding simultaneously with 3 seconds blast and 27 seconds silence. The radiobeacon is class B. Distance finding is also provided.
The passage between Mackinac Island and Round Island has long been regarded as extremely hazardous. It is now adequately guarded by Round Island Passage Light Station. This will result in a saving of time on trips and will relieve the congestion of Poe Reef Channel. This, in turn, will increase Great Lakes' tonnage.

Headed Out with the Cason J Callaway
August 15, 2014
headed out, photo by Susan H
The Cason J. Callaway made an appearance this winter when she was locked in the ice on Lake Huron. Boatnerd's page on the Callaway says that the 767′ ship took her maiden voyage on September 16, 1952, draws 36′ and is able to haul over 250,00 tons:
The Cason J. Callaway was one of the eight "AAA" class vessels which entered service during 1952 and 1953. She was the last of the trio of vessels in this class (the Philip R. Clarke and Arthur M. Anderson were the first two) built for Pittsburgh Steamship Company, who originally developed the blueprints used for all eight members of this class.
…Initially, the Callaway was used almost exclusively in the iron ore trade. In the early 1960s, the Callaway occasionally visited the St. Lawrence Seaway, often hauling grain from Toledo to ports on the St. Lawrence River and returning with iron ore. By the end of the 1960s, the Callaway returned to the traditional U.S. Steel iron ore trade route. She remained on this route regularly until her conversion to a self-unloader. After the conversion, the vessel began loading a wider variety of cargoes and visiting an even greater variety of ports. Ports such as Ashland and Green Bay, Wisconsin and Ontonagon and Dollar Bay, Michigan would occasionally become part of the Callaway's trade route. By the late 1980s, the Callaway fell into a somewhat regular trade route, including a trip from either Duluth or Two Harbors with iron ore to a Lower Lakes port, often Lorain; one or two intermediate trips between ports on Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Erie; and a limestone load from quarries at Rogers City (Calcite) and Cedarville (Port Dolomite), Michigan back up to Duluth. An occasional odd cargo or port remains a possibility.
Susan had a great view of the Callaway as the ship headed out to the open water near Cedarville. Check it out background bigtacular and see more in her slideshow.
Wawatam Lighthouse in St. Ignace
June 26, 2014
Wawatam Lighthouse, photo by charles hildebrandt
While many of Michigan's historic lighthouses have been decommissioned and are mostly ornamental, Pure Michigan tells the story of how the Wawatam Lighthouse started out as an ornamental lighthouse and now actually has a job! Thinking there's a children's story here…
This classic lighthouse started life in 1998 as a Michigan Welcome Center travel icon at Monroe, Michigan. In 2004, the Monroe Welcome Center was being revamped and the lighthouse was put up for relocation. The City of St. Ignace was the lucky recipient and the structure was trucked north in five pieces. It stayed on the Chief Wawatam Dock for a time, awaiting the construction of its new platform. The red, white and green lighthouse was repainted in bright white with red accents. In June 2006, a crane reassembled the tower on its new site. Everything was in readiness, just waiting for U.S. Coast Guard certification. Wawatam Lighthouse takes its name from the late railroad ferry Chief Wawatam, which used this same dock from 1911 through the mid-1980s.
When you visit the lighthouse, you will pass right by the Chief's old lift gate. Wawatam Lighthouse's beacon was first lit on August 20, 2006. Visible for more than 13 miles out over Lake Huron, it is now an official aid-to-navigation. The 250 millimeter Fresnel lens casts its light in a 152 degree arc. Though the lighthouse's GPS location is 45-051-19.700 N by 084-42-09.000 W, it will most likely be easier for you to find it straight out east of McCann Street. The tower is 52 feet tall, but the Coast Guard looks at it in a different way. They rate it as 62 feet tall from the water. It is even lit in the winter to guide snowmobiles across the frozen lake.

Saul Bellow, Nobel Prize laureate
In 1976, Saul Bellow was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for what the Nobel Foundation called "the human understanding and subtle analysis of contemporary culture that are combined in his work." In 2001, at the age of 85, Saul Bellow sits down with CBC Radio's Eleanor Wachtel for this 40-minute interview to talk about childhood memories and impressions, language, character names, being Jewish and more.
• Though Bellow spent most of his life in America, he was born on June 10, 1915, in Lachine, Que., and spent his early childhood in suburban Montreal. He left for Chicago with his family when he was nine years old, and became an American citizen 17 years later, in 1941. • English writer James Wood described Bellow's prose as "intensely lyrical and musical, its rhythms a pressing mingle of Yiddish, American, English, and Hebrew ... but it was also grounded in speech, and seemed incapable of preciousness; ... it was witty, metaphysical, sensuous, playful. Above all, Bellow saw the world anew." • Bellow is best known for his novels The Adventures of Augie March, Seize the Day, Herzog, and the 1976 Pulitzer Prize winner Humboldt's Gift. • Saul Bellow's writing drew freely and openly on his own experiences as well as those of his friends and acquaintances. After the death of his friend, philosopher and writer Allan Bloom, Bellow wrote a tender farewell in the form of the novel Ravelstein. The novel revealed that Bloom was gay and had died of AIDS, facts which Bloom had kept private. • According to Globe and Mail writer Robert Fulford, winning the Nobel Prize was sometimes considered a bad omen for American writers, signalling the beginning of the end of their careers. Steinbeck and Hemmingway are cited as examples. However, in Bellow's case, it only marked the halfway point in a long, prolific career. • In 2007 the first PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction was awarded to Bellow's friend and one-time student Philip Roth. • When he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1976, Bellow made a pithy speech at the banquet. Among other things, he said, "the civilized community agrees that there is no higher distinction than the Nobel Prize but it agrees on little else, so I need not fear that the doom of universal approval is hanging over me."

Army Spec. Mitchell Oliver Returns to Hometown of Greenville Through Fly A Soldier Home This Summer [Photos]
Deann Oliver greeted an unexpected soldier Saturday.
In helping welcome home returning U.S. military personnel at Gerald R. Ford International Airport, she was doing a supportive shift with fellow Blue Star Mothers of America members and Patriot Guard Riders. A handful of families had already been reunited with loved ones when her eyes fell on someone she wasn't expecting to see until at least next week: U.S. Army Spec. Mitch Oliver. It was her son.
Deann shrieked with delight, clutching into her knees just beyond Gate B as others in two greeting lines, many holding and waving American flags, clapped, smiled and cried tears of joy. Also beaming was Mitch, who had a bouquet of red roses for his mother snuck to him by his father, Gary Oliver.
He was flown in through Fly A Soldier Home This Summer, a contest sponsored by Ed Koehn Automotive Group in conjunction with Classic Hits 98.7 WFGR and affiliated stations 97.9 WGRD, Channel 95.7 (WLHT), 100.5 The River (WTRV) and 1410 AM The Touch (WNWZ).

Weird and Ninjas Pre-Disneymoon [Completed!]
As a former English major and a current middle school English Language Arts teacher, I have decided to start off my long-awaited trip report using literary terminology! Readers of my PTR (It's Better Than Stuffed Mezzaluna with Sausage!) will remember that I like incorporating Disney in my lesson plans, so it only makes sense that I would incorporate lessons in my Disney TR!
My family has a timeshare at Orange Lake Country Club in Kissimmee, Florida, so we've never actually stayed on WDW property. Though it is my plan to stay on property for my future Disneymoon with my future DH Weird (definitely a MK monorail resort so most likely Polynesian!), I do very much enjoy having so much space at our condo. I'll post pictures when I write about our arrival day, and I get them from Weird.
Some days were spent on WDW property, of course. That's definitely the kind of setting I like! We typically don't do all 4 parks; MK and Epcot are the ones we do nowadays, but now that my DBF went with us, I was able to add DHS to the mix as well!
And of course, let's not forget that setting is not just the place. The definition is time and place! That means I need to include our dates! We were on vacation from Saturday, April 3rd to Saturday, April 10th, but that included travel time (driving to and from NY!). It wasn't one of those long 10-day vacations that allows for repeat park visits, but it was definitely a dose of Disney that was greatly needed!
Rachel (25, I think just had a conversation with DBF about how old I am because neither of us can seem to remember) Thats me!
I'm a middle school teacher who covers a ton of subjects (ELA, math, Bible, verbal coach, math coach). It's 9 separate classes because I do 6th-8th! It's tiring and exhausting, and gosh oh gee, that middle school age makes me want to pull my hair out. But when I think about teaching elementary or high school, it just doesn't make sense at this point. I think it requires a certain kind of crazy to stay with the pre-teen age, so ... call me crazy! My life revolves around my job, which isn't extremely healthy, I know, but Disney helps me get through it. I'll have DIS open as I work so I can read TRs as I plan, and I also like listening to Disney soundtrack music or park area music! The dose of Disney makes lesson planning way more fun.
Don't be mistaken though; I'm not "just" a teacher. On Virtual Magic Kingdom (when it was still around), I was known as Ninja. I tell students I'm a ninja (or a spy) to prove points. I made up this whole story once about how I had to break into a library to get these books, and it made sense because I had my ninja skills. The point of the story was to help them remember perimeter since I had to get over the perimeter fence; they're always mixing up area and perimeter. I just like making the boring things more interesting.
The funny thing is that there are students in the lower grades who truly believe I'm a ninja at night. The reason for the name started when I was still in college. There was an episode of 24 where Jack Bauer was kidnapped by Chinese ninjas. Since I was one of the few Asians on campus, my friends joked around and asked me where I took him. Then a few months later when I was depressed because I had to wear a heart monitor for 3 weeks, my friend Lauren made a WeeMe online for me with an MP3 as a heart monitor and named it RachelNinja. That name stuck!
Other than Disney and my ninja status, here are a few other things about me:
I can relate almost ANYTHING back to Gilmore Girls. If someone mentions a word that was on GG, I'll have to quote the show! Weird does that with The Office!
Going to IKEA or flipping through the catalog gets me really giddy. Of course, going is better because it ends with a plate of Swedish meatballs.
Im extremely eager to get engaged and get married to my DBF!
Howard (24) - My DBF who is HowWeird on DIS but Weird for short.
Hes a multimedia/audiovisual technician at his former college. Um, is it weird that I had to look that up on Facebook? Haha. Im really bad; Im the kind of person who knows the names of professions as long as they were the ones that can be found in the Richard Scarry books. You know what Im talking about teacher, doctor, artist, plumber. Those are easier to remember. I usually just say that Weird works with computers and IT stuff. Its definitely a skill that comes in handy though since he has had to get rid of viruses and also reformat my computer.
The computer help doesnt just show you how much he knows about technology. It also shows that hes extremely kind and patient with me! I remember calling him on the phone in a panic one day, waking him up from his day off from work because something had happened to my computer, and I needed it for my lesson plans!
He recently purchased a Canon DSLR camera as its been something hes been eyeing for ages. Since we had the WDW trip planned, he decided to spring for it since hed be able to use it on the vacation! Might as well get it before and start getting use out of it! Youll just have to wait and see if he starts to master this new chunky device! Ill be posting his pictures along with mine since hes not as big on the writing aspect of trip reports. I imagine that in the future, hed do more of a photo trip report, but for now, Id rather steal his images and add them here!
Here are a few random things about Weird:
He loves watching things like the Discovery channel because hes very interested in knowing how things work. He loves animals too, so I know hell be the one to take our future kiddies (if we have any) to the zoo and aquarium!
In the same way that I can reference anything back to Gilmore Girls, he can reference anything back to The Office! Its a good thing I got into the show too because otherwise I wouldnt have a clue as to why he finds some things so funny!
He gives the best foot massages! Sore feet after being on them all week from teaching or after a day at the parks (and taking a shower first, of course!) really makes me love em even more!
Together we make a good couple, if I do say so myself, not because we're particularly interesting or fun to be around or anything of that sort. I think we're a good couple because we understand each other so well. We are very alike when it comes to what we want to do in our time together; we'd rather sit at home and enjoy each other's company by watching DVDs (Disney movies, The Office) and playing board games. Going out is not something we like to do unless it means we're stopping by the Disney Store or getting dinner at Chili's or our favorite local sushi spot.
We're very easygoing and laidback for the most part; we're not the type to complain about things when we're out (ex. we're sometimes too lazy to send back food that's not hot enough!). However, there are times when we can each get extremely heated and angry, and the other person needs to help the other calm down (ex. people who are mean or rude do this to us)! Lastly, we both absolutely love love love Disney!
And now some random things about HowRae:
We both love listening to High School Musical 3, and we get such a kick when we play it in the car and sing along! Sometimes we get silly and sing the opposite parts too, mainly because I tend to know the words to the guy parts more!
Were both lactose intolerant, so we cant enjoy many of the things that other people enjoy. Thankfully, were not severely lactose intolerant, so cheese is still okay to some degree. We joked about getting ice cream during the whole trip. I mean, those Mickey bars really look good!
We dont really fight or argue since we had plenty of time to do that when we were apart for those 2 years. Of course, it was bound to catch up with us at one point or another and being with each other 24/7 did create an issue at MK! Youll have to wait to read about that.
Shes my best friend in the whole entire world! The funny thing is that she and Weird are actually very alike! Their personalities and their comments are so similar that its just plain uncanny! My mom has her favorite things to do in Disney, mainly ride Peter Pan, Living with the Land, Soarin and hmm, I dont really know what else she really wanted to do except for those things and The Hall of Presidents! She doesnt like fast rides or loud things or anything that might be startling, so that really eliminates a lot. She easily gets dizzy, so shell never have the opportunity to try many of the rides we want her to try. Thankfully, shes also very laidback, so shes willing to just go with the flow and isnt in a rush to get from one thing to the next.
My dad surprised both my mom and me when he invited Weird to come along on our family vacation. That story can be found on my PTR in the following entry: Possible Guest Appearance. Hes the kind of dad who only went to Disney for this long because he knew his kids enjoyed it. He doesnt like crowds, which meant going during the week after Easter probably wasnt that good of an idea! He also likes the rides that allow him to nap for a short while (ex. Carousel of Progress, Living with the Land, Hall of Presidents, etc.).
Matthew / Matt (11) My younger brother who is now also my student!
Matt = basketball. That's all he seems to care about lately. He's not into school at all and doesn't find the joy in learning anything except for basketball stats! He's still into his PSP and video games. I wish he could be into reading more! He's extremely picky when it comes to eating, and he's definitely the baby of the family since he gets away with a lot (we have an older brother, so he was a surprise baby). He transferred to my school at the end of February, so he actually didn't miss any school! Mom was ecstatic about that. He did say at the end of vacation that this was his favorite vacation EVER.
Just a quick note on the TR title. Before the trip, I had thought of these two: Looking Up! (so many details can be found if you just look up! I forgot to do that a lot though, so it definitely wouldnt be a good title) and I Want To Go To There! (from one of my more recent favorite shows, 30 Rock!)
Throughout the entire trip, Weird and I were trying to come up with a good title since it does draw people in. Every time something funny happened or something big happened, we were like, THAT should be the TR title! For example, I kept on saying, I love my bag! the entire time, so that was in consideration. Then Weird kept taking pictures of everything, so I was joking with him and going, Wall! Take a picture! Light! Take a picture! so that was a possibility as well. Then there were all the titles that I spouted out that included Lou Mongellos name in it, but youll have to keep reading until the end to find out why.
In the end, I stuck to something basic. I was thinking about it when it was Weirds turn to drive yesterday when we were coming back. Its basically because Weird and I never thought wed be at Disney together until we were married. Thankfully, we had the chance to go now instead of having to wait until our Disneymoon! It was definitely something we were extremely excited about because we may not be able to go on our Disneymoon for a while. It just made sense to call it our Pre-Disneymoon!
I'd like to close with an added note that I feel is completely necessary because I'm ... particular. As I write this TR, I have to preface it by saying that I may not follow the grammar rules all the time. There ... I admit it! As much as I may correct my students at work, and as much as I dislike it when people butcher the English language in speech and in writing, I too might write with fragments. I might be ending sentences with prepositions. I may even use more than one exclamation point when I feel it is warranted!
Anyway, I hope that you'll join me as I write about our wonderful vacation in WDW! There will be a ton of pictures (both Weird's and mine) and lots of stories! All the MINUTIAE will be included for your reading pleasure!
Haha, I'm just happy I got that word in because that too was another trip report title consideration!

I forgot about that title! That was so me, wasn't it? Me and those other grouchy, crying girls in the parks!
Our next trip that will be in FEBRUARY! Haha, don't know what year, but it will be in FEBRUARY!!!
Just had to make a quick note: I didn't realize that I left out the description for my brother! I went back and added a paragraph.

I always saw you posting on WDWgirl03 pre-trip. Sorry, I never got around to your pre-trip, but I am looking forward to seeing how things went. How cool to teach your younger brother. My dd is your age, and she is constantly tutoring her 2 younger siblings in college. Thank goodness for mobile/to/mobile cell phones,, I've witnessed 4 hour phone conversations while she helped them write papers.
Hope you had great weather. I'll be there next year for Easter, so I really want to hear about the crowds.

I can't wait to hear how the trip went. I also LOVE The Office, its my favorite show ever!!! My son and I quote it all the time. So, yeah, I'll be reading this trip report!
I used to teach middle school and now teach high school but I really loved middle school a lot. When I move up into administration, I would like to go back to middle school. That's so cool that your brother is in your class. Must be interesting.

I'll definitely be writing about the weather and the crowds!
I think the middle school age is great just because they're not really kids anymore because they're trying to find their own identity. However, at the same time, they still need the encouragement and bonding with the teachers. Well, at least most of them do. Many of them still look to the teacher the way younger students do. I like that! Of course, when they're having pre-teen drama ... haha, can't stand it. I just have to remember that EVERYTHING at that age is just SO DRAMATIC, and it's always the WORST possible thing that could happen to them!

The power of communication - it's undeniable. When you take out the ability to pronounce and proclaim, verbally, the lines of talk and expression get interesting.
For those whose lives do not include the daily tone of pitch and sound, body language and the art of using it, becomes increasingly key when communicating.
Amazingly, I have built a career teaching hearing people the art of understanding how body language affects what they are saying. Yet, it wasn't until recently that I finally understood how critical body language can be to the hearing impaired.
I know...this truly seems like it'd be a no brainer. However, it took meeting my new neighbors to really drive home the critical nature of non-verbal communication for some.
One afternoon, as my family and I were out tending to the yard work - a lovely couple stopped by to chat. They had noticed my "pimped out" Body Language Institute van and wanted to get more information. See, both the husband and the wife were deaf - but their son was not.
Body language was one of the main ways in which they were able to communicate with their only child - and felt they had much more to learn in order to sustain a high levels of intimate communication as he grew older.

I've slacked off the last two weeks due to a crazy work schedule and the holidays, but I'm a gym regular. I work out about 4 times a week and go to group fitness classes, like Turbo Kick, Body Attack, Body Pump and Spin. I worked out through 8 months with my last pregnancy (started dilating at 8 months, so needed to ease up). I hope to do the same this time around. I'm planning on going back to the gym for the first time in two weeks tomorrow morning for a Body Pump class. I've been super tired lately due to the pregnancy, but usually have my most energy first thing in the morning - so that's the time I try to get to the gym. I love bouncing and jumping around in my cardio classes. Can't wait to see how it goes this pregnancy! Working out really makes me feel good. In fact, I think it helps with the queasiness of the first tri. I have had more nausea the last two weeks... and I think a big part of that has been a lack of my workout time lately. I also hope to limit weight gain. I think I gained 35 lbs last time around... I'd like to stay closer to 25 lbs this time.
|Tue, 01-10-2012 - 6:55pm
Oh Wow you ladies are making me feel guilty. I loathe gyms, and since I've never had a weight problem I've just never bothered.
|Thu, 01-12-2012 - 5:25pm
Before I got pregnant I would do martial arts 2 times per week plus gym or elliptical in my garage.
|Thu, 01-12-2012 - 6:44pm
I tend to find that the days I exercise I have more energy. I really shouldn't act like a workout hero thought, cause I'm not. i've been sick with a cold all week and no gym time, no energy at all. But when I'm just my normal 1st tri self, I find working out in the morning is better for me because late afternoon and evening I'm pretty exhausted.

The Atlanta Hawks have a new-look roster heading into the 2013 season. They allowed Josh Smith to walk, and had quite a few other roster moves throughout the off-season as well. They were able to sign Paul Millsap to help replace the loss of Josh Smith, and they held onto Al Horford as well. There are some question marks regarding who will start at the shooting guard and small forward positions, but Kyle Korver will likely fill one of those spots.
One guy who is still on the team from last season is starting point guard Jeff Teague. The Hawks almost lost Teague to the Bucks, but chose to match the offer sheet that Milwaukee had thrown his way. He is going to be the X-Factor that is a big factor in either making or breaking the Hawks this coming season.
Teague averaged 14.6 points and 7.2 assists per game last season, and will be asked to step up in an even bigger way this year. With Josh Smith now in Detroit, Teague will need to step up as the primary ball-handler as well as a scoring threat. At 14.6 points per game last season, he needs to stay around the same, but maybe up it to the 15.5-16.0 per game level. He's got a great all-around offensive game with the ability to hit the mid-range shot as well as get to the rim and finish. He also has a very good floater once he gets in the lane.
The main deficiency in his offense is his three-point shooting ability. He shot 34% from behind the arc last season (counting both his regular season and playoff numbers), and was not considered too much of a threat by opposing defenses. Due to his quickness and ability to get to the rim, a three-point shot would be a deadly addition to his repertoire. Defenders would have to respect the drive as well as his shot, which would give him multiple options to beat his opponent.
Defensively he has very quick hands, but could use to be a bit more aggressive. He averaged 1.5 steals per contest last year, and is more than capable of becoming an elite defender at the point guard position. The coaching staff change could be a good thing for Teague, but they will need to make sure that he continues working hard on both sides of the basketball.
Without Josh Smith in town, he'll have the ball in his hands much more than he did last year, as we mentioned earlier in the article. It will likely be a role that he shoulders very well and show instant improvement in. He has always been a capable scorer, so I don't foresee any issues for him if he is indeed asked to step up the level of his offensive output either.
Overall, the Hawks aren't highly expected to be a Playoff team in the Eastern Conference. They do still have a solid all-around team with Al Horford, Paul Millsap, and Kyle Korver, but those three along with Teague are going to be facing an uphill climb for a postseason birth. That being said, Teague is going to be one of the key factors in deciding Atlanta's fate. You can expect to see a very good season from him individually. If you're a fantasy basketball team owner, you should definitely look into picking him to your team.

HoopsHype Carmelo Anthony rumors
Steve Popper: I honestly love talking to J.R. Smith. No one on the Knicks as much fun. Said that meeting got heated ... but J.R. also said that the Tim Hardaway Jr. and Melo thing never happened - but Melo and Tim both admitted it did. No place like this. Twitter @StevePopper
Ian Begley: Another issue w/trading Melo (besides no-trade clause) is that the team who acquires him has to pay a 15% increase in his remaining salary. Twitter @IanBegley
Ian Begley: Source close to Carmelo Anthony says report that he is considering waving no trade clause for trade from #Knicks is "definitely not true." Twitter @IanBegley
Carmelo Anthony says a published report stating that he is considering waiving his no-trade clause to green light a trade for the New York Knicks is false. "Come on, man. After all the work I did to get here and get back here? If I was to get up and want to leave now that would just make me weak, make me have a weak mind," Anthony said on Friday morning. "I've never been a person to try to run from any adversity or anything like that so I'm not going to pick today to do that." ESPN.com
Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, said the idea that Anthony wanted to leave the Knicks is "utter nonsense." "Carmelo, as always, is committed to the Knicks," Rose said in a text message to ESPNNewYork.com on Friday. "There have never been discussions about trades or wanting to leave New York. Any story, rumor, report to the contrary is utter nonsense." ESPN.com
"For me it's just a matter of doing what I do best, and that's performing on the basketball court and going out there and trying to win games. At the end of the day that's all that matters, that's all that will solve anything that's going on, anything that's being said -- is winning basketball games. If we were winning we wouldn't be sitting here talking about a story out there saying I want a trade or knee problems or this or that. We wouldn't be sitting here talking about that if we were winning. So it comes with the territory. We have to deal with it. I have to deal with it. I accept it. That doesn't make it right, but I accept it." Newsday
"Yeah, yeah, for sure," Anthony said when asked if he's bothered by his commitment to the Knicks being questioned. "I guess when you're losing games everything gets questioned. That's the state where we're at as a team. That's the state we're at as individuals, or should I say myself. But it comes with the territory. It's gonna be for me to kind of defend myself, but at the end of the day, that's not gonna prove nothing, that's not gonna do anything. Newsday
This is how bad it has gotten for Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks: Five months after swearing his allegiance to New York and signing a five-year, $124 million contract, sources told The Post the All-Star forward would be open to dropping his no-trade clause if team president Phil Jackson strikes a deal with a team Anthony would like to play for. New York Post
For now, Anthony has no desire to be traded, but his willingness to consider giving up the no-trade clause shows how frustrated he has become with the Knicks' historically bad start to the season. The Knicks have lost 10 straight games — two shy of a team-record — and at 4-20 have the most losses in the NBA, one more than the laughingstock Sixers. New York Post
A trade to a contender would be a financial boon to Anthony as he has a trade kicker attached to his contract that is worth 15 percent of the remaining value at the time of the deal. That kicker was put in place by Anthony's handlers to deter teams from approaching the Knicks about Anthony. He would receive a lump-sum payment of roughly $17.5 million if he is traded Monday. "He thought things would be better than this, but he still wants to stick it out for now, '' a source said. "He trusts Phil, but I think he's afraid of Phil.'' New York Post
As far as hearing criticism from his teammates, Anthony revealed that there was a players-only meeting on Saturday at the team's practice facility in which various concerns were raised, but he denied it had become particularly contentious. "Everybody had a platform to speak their piece, and what they felt about what's going on, and how we can better the situation," Anthony said. "But it wasn't no pointing fingers or anything like that, or solely pointing me out to be blamed." New York Times
As for the on-court argument with Hardaway, who confirmed that it happened, Anthony added: "Just to speak solely on that situation, me and Tim have no problems. I wish I could bring him out here and have him next to me while I'm doing this interview, he will tell you the same thing. That's pretty much all I can say on that. Tim is a guy who I always wrapped my arm around and put under my wing from Day 1, helped him through times when he's been down, and I will continue doing that." New York Daily News
Hardaway confirmed he jawed with Anthony on the court last week, but called it a "heat of the moment type of deal." "Everybody in this locker room is treated as brothers," he added. "We're a family and we've moved on." New York Daily News
A source said Anthony and Hardaway were once closer, texting each other often during July's free agency as Melo pondered his decision. But they no longer are as tight. "We're brothers,'' Hardaway said. "They get into heat-of-the-moment things and make up afterward. I looked at Melo as a mentor since I've been here.'' New York Post
Hardaway's agent, Mark Bartelstein, was furious at the accusation there's a serious rift between Anthony and Hardaway. "There's no ill will between Tim and Carmelo — it's just the opposite," Bartelstein said. "Carmelo has helped out Tim a lot, they have a great relationship and Carmelo has been very supportive. It's very hurtful and untrue.'' New York Post
New York's leading scorer said the rest in late November actually helped his knee pain and he felt much better when jumping back on the floor at the Garden to conclude the month. Anthony will figure the next course of action as the Knicks square off against the Spurs and finish the three-game road trip in Boston. "I will explore as many other options as I can before I go under the knife and get surgery because I can't even tell you exactly what is the problem," Anthony cautiously said. NBA.com
Marc Berman: Anthony claimed players meeting was "productive" and needed. Twitter @NYPost_Berman
Andrew Keh: Carmelo Anthony said he does not like anonymous sources. #journalism Twitter @andrewkeh
Ian Begley: Carmelo Anthony says he'll explore all options he can with his injured knee before considering surgery. #Knicks Twitter @IanBegley
Ian Begley: Carmelo says #Knicks are "all committed" to the triangle but there are times when the players have been frustrated due to losing. Twitter @IanBegley

This jeans is perfect for me!A few jears ago i bought my first COH jeans .The wash of this jeans is a little different then my first but i like it very much! Very good service! Delivery in only 7 days! Thank you for sending him to Belgium.Here the stores don't sell this color any more!Thats why i'am so happy i found your shop!! Thank and i hope to shop very soon again!!!
This jeans is just perfect for me!!! It fits perfectly and stretches enough. Very good price compared to quality!!! Super!! The jeans of Citizens of Humanity here in Belgium were always too short, but now it's just perfect. In Belgium this jeans costs more than the double! Very fast delivery!! Thank you! So overall very satisfied!!
This jean is perfect for me. The wash, color and fit all good to me ( I am 5'6'' with 110lbs). This jean make my leg lean and long w/o too many effort. Only one thing is its inseam is a little bit too long for me -- that is I have to wear a at least 3-inch high heel. But that makes whole looks even better!
I bought these jeans and unfortunately I have to return them. The measurements say that they have a larger knee then the bootcut 7's do and the bottom is the same but for some reason on me they were skin tight from the knee down and my 7FAMK bootcuts fit awesome. The wash is great and the overall look of these jeans are awsome but for me the fit was terrible. They fit in the waste, I wear a 27 in 7's and I bought a 28 in these and they fit in the butt and the waste but the calves/knees were like a pair of skinny jeans. I am 5'6 and wear a size 4 and am very sad that these didn't fit me.
I love citizens! I am 5"6 with not a lot of hips but def have bit of a bum and the fit is perfect, although hemming is necessary for flats, No tugging them up at the back like my sevens. I am a true convert and also love the fact I can buy them here for half what I pay in New Zealand. Highly recommend.

They prooved we don't have enough seats
That's ALL they prooved. And the kicker, so many people registered to vote GOP that the GOP increased it's committee seats. Mine went from 21 to 27. That's HUGE! That's success. Come and claim your seat. We earned those seats.
Instead, Sarah Palins folks are claiming OUR seats. That is how stupid many of us our. We don't claim the prize instead, many claim to vote for a Republican becasue he supported marijuana. How lame is that?
This is a war. Either you're in our looking for a easy way out. There isn't one. So they forced Romney on us.. no time to run, it's time to take our seats put Romney in office and do to him what the Democratic Party Hillary controlled serats are doing to Obama..
Obama is NOT who he campaigned.. why Hillary controls the seats. The GOP seats are OURs and so we run? Dumb!
He's not just famous, he's IN-famous!
I'm a serial entrepreneur and liberty activist from Texas!
Nice to know..
Maybe he will learn something one day. (I will not hold my breath..)
I try to change people every day. Do You?
and swallow. I hate you, and your masters. Hopefully God will forgive me for the hate I have for you.

"RNC Chairman Reince Preibus and House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday railroaded the party's grass roots in order to shut down any debate over rule changes or the decision to unseat 10 Ron Paul delegates elected in Maine.
I was on the floor at the time, and I saw these party leaders chairing the convention simply ignore points of order and objections. They also ruled that the Ayes had won a voice vote when the Noes pretty clearly shouted louder. It's hard to get more undemocratic than simply making up the results of a floor vote." ~ Timothy P.

Nice job, Reince!
If your job was to destroy the GOP and guarantee an Obama win in November, that is.
We will never forget the crimes of the GOP against freedom-lovers and patriots this election cycle, and we will never forgive corrupt politicos like yourself who enabled and/or participated in these crimes.
RNC 2012 was an absolute debacle and disgrace, and you helped make that happen. How do you sleep at night?
Save the anti-Semitic slurs...
...are you an RNC operative sent to tar DPer's with racism by association? Classic cointelpro crapolla. Libertarians do not know or care what Priebus' ethno-religio-cultural affinities are. Is he Jewish? What of it. So was Ludwig Von Mises and Murray Rothbard.
Libertarians condemn his actions. He betrayed this Republic by enabling and/or participating in the 2012 GOP crime wave against Ron Paul and his supporters. That alone is more than enough to merit our full condemnation.
..chill out, seriously I have had it up to HERE with poeple throwing the "£$%^^ anit-semetic card. Rather tell the dude to use more respectable langauge, but calling people anti-semetic is a big problem with this country. Under the do not be anti-semetic banner, we are being sent to fight foreign wars. Were the people bombing the USS Liberty being Semetic ? please answer the question
I think one writer said it best
When he said the GOP has "signed a declaration of war".
Ron Paul convert from the Heart of Dixie
Nice Yamkul bald spot Priebus, let me guess dual citizen?

Thank You!

Lol! I eat trolls like him
Lol! I eat trolls like him for breakfast. Wait...I eat trolls? Never mind. I really hate that man.
Enjoyed the Happy Gilmore reference.
That folks..
Is what YES people look like :)
Yes we know. We can smell trolls
But thanks anyway for validating our gaining ground on you. Also, that look/reaction at the end - priceless!

isn't that him at the beginning with the tag on his shirt ? Look at his side profile as he walks away....

Hey Reince
I'm curious, how much did they pay you for your dirty deeds?
Done dirt cheap
... Sad day for the USA
Hey, the RNC Reg'l Press Secretary knows the words!

Call me anytime/huh, huh, huh"
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.

But if Reince isn't on drugs, I'll eat my hat. This is a man whose fighting his conscience 24/7 and ain't handling it well. He seemed sedated at the convention, too, to me.

I was gonna say he seems
I was gonna say he seems messed up, but then again, you have to be to believe in Rmoney.
He looked programmed. Same as
He looked programmed. Same as Boner.
Oh, yeah. Whatever it takes-
Drugs, kids, money, private island...Boner, tho, he's a pro.

I liked the guy who is not
I liked the guy who is not trying to be confrontational. He looks like he needs to talk to someone about something he knows. He gave his card. Someone should call him.
I pray for bad things to happen to this guy. I do . Really.
I grew up in Wisconsn; Reince is not representative of the good people there.
This eh hole deserves to burn in Hell. I pray he wil.


text: Publishers Weekly"A miracle is always happening somewhere," says Thomas, and here the host of the titular PAX TV series collects almost 40 of the best examples from the show. With a structure similar to the ever-popular Chicken Soup books-the stories are separated into thematic sections, including Extraordinary Rescues, Compassionate Creatures and Overcoming the Odds-this volume reveals the human and animal world at its best. A boy and a girl who first met across the boundary of a concentration camp fence find each other in America 12 years later and marry; a blind girl's sight is suddenly and inexplicably restored; a brave Springer spaniel bites an intruder and gets shots five times and lives; and a mother's belief that secretin, an intestinal hormone, helped her autistic son connect and communicate leads to important studies about the hormone's potential benefits. While the prose is clunky, and sometimes leans into melodrama-not every story here feels like a miracle-fans of the show will appreciate the chance to rediscover their favorite episodes. (Apr.)
