Let's get past the shock value that a Thanksgiving dinner can easily add up to 4,000 calories. Anyone can eat like that on any given day — a restaurant-style meal can easily add up to that many calories.
Instead of focusing on the sheer quantity, however, why not focus on the wholesomeness of a home-prepared Thanksgiving dinner?
Many of the foods traditionally associated with a Thanksgiving dinner are actually nutritious — depending on how you prepare them:
Reasonable portions and a few creative culinary tips can leave you feeling comfortable, satisfied and thankful as you start the holiday season.

Thanks giving party is great.
+1 to the other Susan's comment. Also, dump the bread stuffing in favor of a vegetable one. No empty carbs, no useless grain. Avoid over-eating at dinner by having a protein rich breakfast and a protein and low carb veg lunch. See the website Mark's Daily Apple for some good recipes for grain-free stuffing and flour/gluten free pumpkin pie.
I got some advice in brief
-Eat balanced meals with low Carbohydrates.
-Eat 5-6 times/day
-last meal of the day should be light.
-Drink more water.
-Stop drinking sugar water.
-Walk and walk and walk.
Saturated fat isn't unhealthy and doesn't need to be feared unless it's being coupled with very high carbohydrate foods such as sweet potatoes and all forms of sugar. One way to decrease the carb load, besides dumping things like pie, marshmallows, and bread, is to substitute whipped cauliflower for whipped potatoes. They're delicious and only 1.1 grams of carbs per ounce.
Thanks for writing such an easy-to-undrestnad article on this topic.
I usually roast sweet potatoes with a little olive oil and lots of fresh ground pepper and no added sugar - they are very sweet on their own. I also use the neck and giblets and make a stock while the turkey is roasting for the gravy - it adds alot of flavour. Egg white added to the stuffing cuts down on extra fat; also a month or so ahead I will start saving the "heels" of the bread and I always buy whole grain whole wheat, freeze them and then use them for the stuffing - just thaw, dry out and then whip in the food processor or blender.
I am having a roasted "chicken" for our turkey,(from Kroger,) with baked sweet potatoe, steamed asparagus, cranberries, egg plant dressing; (made with homemade cornbread and dried whole wheat Italian bread; egg plant, onions, celery, & mushrooms, with poultry seasoning, pepper, and small amount of sea salt; all cooked in fat free/low sodium chicken broth....before adding the bread mix.) Light homemade gravy for those that like gravy over the dressing and chicken; Ice Cream sandwiches with a dob of whipping cream for desert...Healthy and labor free, almost...Happy Thanksgiving!! Blessings!!
Thank you for posting this guide to Thanksgiving meals. I love fresh cranberries and work them into salads as well as eating homemade cranberry sauce.

Seems like they are missing one key potentially healthy item - sweet potatoes! No, not the nasty, syrupy canned ones. Fresh sweet potatoes mixed with a little brown sugar and baked. Marshmallows optional. Vitamin A for the week, and fiber too, especially if you leave the skins on.

Skip to comments.Bill Hemmer Leaves CNN
Posted on 06/06/2005 12:57:54 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache
Release Date 6-6-05
Miles OBrien to Co-Anchor CNNs American Morning with Soledad OBrien
Miles OBrien, co-anchor of CNNs Live From, will join American Morning as co-anchor with Soledad OBrien starting Monday, June 20, it was announced today by Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S. Bill Hemmer plans to leave the network to pursue other opportunities, while Jack Cafferty will join The Situation Room, a new afternoon news program, to provide commentary and insight.
Were honing the cast of American Morning in order to focus on what the audience wants most and what CNN does best: the latest news delivered with the greatest intelligence, Klein said. In a morning television landscape littered with mindless entertainment, there will be one name you can rely on for no-nonsense news: OBrien.
Miles OBrien will be based in New York and will continue to serve as the networks space correspondent. He joined in 1992 and has held a number of important anchor positions over the years earning him many journalistic distinctions. Most recently, he served as co-anchor of Live From weekday afternoons with Kyra Phillips. Phillips now becomes the lead anchor of Live From.
In February 2003, O'Brien distinguished himself as both an anchor and correspondent when he led CNN's coverage of the Columbia Space Shuttle tragedy, offering viewers exclusive information and uniquely insightful context based on his experience with NASA and space exploration. O'Brien has anchored many breaking news events, including the networks coverage of the war in Iraq.
Hemmer, who joined CNN in 1995 and American Morning in 2002, will be leaving the network. His last day is June 17.
After 10 years of distinguished service at CNN, Bill Hemmer has decided to pursue other opportunities, and we wish him well, Klein said.
American Morning broadcasts weekdays from 7-10a.m. (ET) on CNN/U.S. Kim Bondy is the vice president of morning programming of CNNs American Morning.
CNN, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., a Time Warner Company, is one of the worlds most respected and trusted sources for news and information. Its reach extends to 14 cable and satellite television networks; two private place-based networks; two radio networks; wireless devices around the world; six Web sites, including CNN.com, the first major news and information Web site; and CNN Newsource, the worlds most extensively syndicated news service.
CONTACT: Christa Robinson CNN, New York 212/275-7995 firstname.lastname@example.com
Haven't watched CNN in about three years, but was really impressed with Hemmer. Wish him well.
I think I speak for many of us when I say: "Who?"
This is a guy I have never heard of who was on shows I've never heard of on a network I haven't watched in over a decade.
I think perhaps Bill Hemmer would be one of the personalities Linda Ellerbee would describe as a twinkie. Someone good to look at on TV but not necessarily very bright.
Kilometers O'Brian was last years winner of the annual Guiness "I lie like the media constest" at Donegal's pub in Belfast!ha.
Hemmer a good guy a devout catholic wgo did an excellent job and coverage with the Death of Pope John Paul
I hear Fox News is hiring.
(Mrs. F & I saw Hemmer emerging from a Manhattan dry cleaners while we were on vacation there a few years back. "Brush with greatness.")
Me, neither! I only watch CNN when the dem's lose in elections, just to see the long face on Judy Woodenruff and the other idiots there.
I liked Bill..Too bad for CNN.
Hemmer: "I am?"
Also, a Miami-Ohio grad. Maybe he'll be joining fellow Red Hawk Bill Sammon at Fox.
Bill always struck me as a big zero. But then, since most everyone on CNN is really unbearable I guess that makes Bill a positive, relatively speaking.
Yeah, I said, "Who?" too.
When I saw his pic, I said,
"Oh, yeah, that young guy."
TVNewser has the scoop on CNNs American Morning co-host, the one and only Bill Hemmer. Hemmer, it seems, is having problems getting his New York job moved to D.C. (There are still summer internships available, no?) Reports the Newser:
Hemmer has no idea how to do anything himself, a network source tells the blog. When he does interviews, producers do everything, from writing his scripts to doing most of his interviews and footage is cut to make it look like hes working.
In other words, he has absolutely nothing to distinguish himself from every other on-air talent. KEW more
Hemmer was the one unbiased person on CNN. No wonder he got canned.
Hemmer is pretty good...hes on FOX within 6 months...the rest are idiots
How can this be? Have you seen him? He's looks about 17 years old.
I do like Jack Cafferty, he's more like an old curmudgeon. He lays it out how he sees it, which means he's not suited for morning news. He may shine in the afternoon.
CNN lost out here.
Wait...what? What's that? CNN is losing more talent? Oh...well that's just the most shocking statement I've ever heard.
Back to sleep...
Wait...what? What's that? CNN is losing more talent? Oh...well that's just the most shocking statement I've ever heard.
Back to sleep...
This guy was pretty well composed and had a wry and dry sense of humor. I bet we see him on fox or one of the major local market stations in LA, NY or DC.
I like Bill Hemmer. He's a local kid here in Cincy. Went to Elder High School.
I wish him well. He's from a solid West Side Catholic conservative family.
Is he leaving to finish his senior year in high school?
What? Bill Sammon is going to Fox? What will he be doing? I adore him.
Bill Hemmer was professional and had all the tools of TV journalism. Like my wife and I, he couldn't "take" Soledad, whi IS a tool. Jack Cafferty couldn't take her either. CNN Execs have made a bad choice on who to keep.
It has been very painful this week watching O'Brien stumble and mumble through the broadcast, one thing can be said about Bill, he at least knew how to read. I can now sleep an extra hour with both Bill and Cafferty gone there is no reason to watch. Soledad and Miles have about as much chemistry as two dead fish.
I totally agree about Miles and Soledad. Absolutely no chemistry. In fact they have as much chemistry as a couple who have been married for quite some time. Are they?
I liked Cafferty. I thought he had wit and a sense of humor and wasn't an idiot.
Just saw where Bill Hemmer signed on with Fox. CNN lost another good one.
They should have kept him and ditched Solidad. She is absolutely unbearable.
Fox needs to snag Sanjay, Carol Costello, and Chad Myers. There is no reason to tune in. It's about time to fire Larry King. He needs to put his own kids to sleep instead of the viewers.
Dead fish have alot of chemistry, just smell them. ;^)

There are many different days and events in support and appreciation of the U.S. military. However, did you know that this year, May has been designated National Military Appreciation Month? It is a time for us to thank, appreciate and support the military, both past and present, and educate each other on the incredible job that they do for us.
National Military Appreciation Month started out life in 1999, when legislation from the U.S. Senate (supported by Senator John McCain, Representative Duncan Hunter, and others) said that May should be a month for honoring, remembering and appreciating the patriotism of members of the armed forces. They also wanted to laud the dedication from their families. This idea was solidified ten years ago in April 2004, with unanimous agreement from both Houses of Congress. At this point it was suggested that the President should issue annual statements, reminding the American public to support the military throughout the month.
Although most of America's incredible history involved the military in one way or another, children in school nowadays aren't learning anywhere near enough about the importance of key events such as Pearl Harbor or the Civil War. This means that they are not as aware of how crucial the U.S. military has been in shaping our country. Consequently, they do not really appreciate it. That is why, during the month of May, National Military Appreciation Month is combined with American Military History Month. The aim is to encourage schools to incorporate more American history into lessons, to educate the future generations, and to educate ourselves.May is an important month in the appreciation of the U.S. military, as it includes five national days of celebration. These are Loyalty Day on the 1st, VE Day on the 8th, Military Spouse Appreciation Day a day later on the 9th, followed by Armed Forces Day on the 17th, and finally Memorial Day on the 26th. These serve as useful prompts to remind us of how we should be thanking our troops throughout the whole month.
Whether organised by the government, the state, local politicians or private organisations, there are loads of activities going on throughout the month of May in honor of the sacrifices that our troops make. From parades to celebration lunches to airshows, there are events taking place around the country. These events not only highlight the magnificent work that the military does, but also give us a chance to give thanks.
Since the U.S. military was founded hundreds of years ago, nearly 100 million American citizens have either served (or are currently serving), given their lives, or had a close family member in the military. Now is your chance to celebrate them and the work that they do to keep our country safe. You are encouraged to do whatever you can to get involved in National Military Appreciation Month, which is now in its 15th year – it does not even have to be anything major like attending an organized event. Fly your flag, ask your local media to cover events in your area, send a care package, or even just thank a person in uniform for their service. Our troops deserve every token of appreciation that they receive!

Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office adds new K-9 deputies
The Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office introduces two new additions – Deputy "Farel", a Belgian Malinois and Deputy "Gudy", a German Shepherd.
The Walla Walla Sheriff's Foundation has been actively pursuing funding for K-9 deputies since the summer of 2011.
By December 2012, sufficient private donations allowed the foundation to purchase two male dogs from a Southern California company and immediately undergo the necessary training and state certification process.
Last month, both Sheriff K-9s passed their Criminal Justice Training Center certification in all phases of obedience, protection, apprehension, tracking and trailing and are now ready, willing, and more than able to serve the community. Both of these completed the grueling certification process in 1st and 2nd place.
The Walla Walla County Sheriff's Foundation says having a new K-9 unit would not have been possible without the generous support of the community.

61 Cabarita Road, Avalon
This family home in Avalon is defined by two things: views and stairs. It's built on a steep block and takes advantage of the Careel Bay views by incorporating levels. Each level has a water outlook, making for a pretty ideal northern beaches vibe.
The design aesthetic is mostly contemporary, and multiple timber decks ensure that the home takes full advantage of the outlook. One of the best parts of the home, though, is its quirky details, which can be perceived both in the décor and in the architecture. An example of this is the top floor of the house, a hidey-hole study at the home's tip that, again, presents a glorious view.
The home is on the market, and I can see how it's a pretty appealing package for home-buyers; views, architectural interest and a price around $1.325 million that seems spot on. The stairs up to the home also make a pretty decent exercise option, if you're the kind of person who's into running stairs (I am, and always seem to be identifying new stair-run locations…).

Comments: now that this lure comes weedless, it's my go to craw imitation bait. smallmouth simply love this little dandy. on the negative side, little bass will pester this lure causing you to nearly tip the boat over setting the hook on nothing. on the positive side, the taps are not ALL from little fish as three 5er's proved on my last trip. a good lure and well made with great hooks--
From: Wes: Salinas,CA
Comments: I normally don't seem to have good luck on baits that look this realistic, but this is an exception. It is impressively snag resistant. It stays oriented properly and gets bit when crawled slowly. It does have weaknesses though. The rubber flesh wears off on the bottom of the tail (though the fact that you get to fish it long enough to wear through the rubber shows just how wonderfully snag resistant the bait is). It will also become petrified and useless if left inside of a hot vehicle. In addition, it will melt if it comes in contact with a lure made out of regular plastic. Still, I'd say one pack is worth a try if the look of the bait appeals to you :).

Looks like an art piece!
"True to size and got a wow reaction from me when i first open it! High quality and so tall and comfy since the platform is just right. Soooo sad I had to return cuz the wooden bottom stands out so much it makes it looks like I'm wearing 2 sizes bigger. Wish there was a black bottom one."

died when i saw them
"i purchased these a lil after xmas and my mom laughed me out because i sounded like i was having an asthma attack when i found them in the clearance isle!!! im 5'4 1/2 and they added great height to me and make my legs look toned. i did feel a little uneasy when i first walked on pavement w/ them because their so high. but i get compliments on them everytime and amazingly they dont hurt like i thought they would after 30 mins. kept them on the whole night (at least 3 1/2 -4hrs). worn them 2 weekends in a row :) i have a wide, short foot and usually wear a 7 1/2 to 8 1/2. these were 8 1/2 and they fit great on my chubby toes lol"

Hard to walk in
"These shoes are super cute and I was complimented continuously my first day wearing them. I' did a lot of stumbling my first day as well! The sole is hard, would recommend getting them with enough room to add a cushion to the sole.Otherwise, great quality, very hot."

The Asics GT 1000 offers overpronators a blend of support and responsiveness in a reliable trainer, featuring moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
The Asics GT 1000 is a shoe to take seriously. This well-cushioned daily trainer boasts support for moderate over-pronation; great heel and forefoot Gel cushioning and a smooth ride. The universal fit adapts easily to many different foot types, for a worry-free ride.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.5 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (30mm), Forefoot (20mm)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How It Fits (based on width B)
The GT 1000 is a moderate feature, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: I'd been happily wearing the Asics Gel 1170s, so I hoped that the GT-1000s would be similar or even better. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The shoes fit fairly well overall (although I would have liked some more room in the toe box). However, when walking or running, I noticed an awkward, rough transition from heel to toe instead of a smooth ride like most running shoes. There appears to be a little raised area on the bottom of the shoe at the back end. I did not keep these shoes. If the shoes were flat on the bottom, (like the Gel 1170s) I think they would feel smoother and more comfortable.
From: RL, USA
Comments: I agree with the other comments. I loved my other 2 pairs of Asics. The toe box is extremely tight - I have had the shoes for three months and can only wear them for short periods of time. I could never go on a casual walk in them. Very disappointed.
From: Sharon, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Comments: Very disappointed in these, way too tight in the toe area, have had nothing but sore squashed toes and also very slippery sole in the wet. Was hoping they would be as comfortable as previous asics, but they failed miserably.
From: Michelle, Victoria, Australia
Comments: I have to agree with Julie above. The toe box was too tight and through the arch. I didn't notice any problems with the instep height though. I have been wearing Asics exclusively for the past 7 years and these were supposed to be a replacement for the 1170 series. If this is how they fit I may need to change brands or styles. Disappointed.
From: Lisa, Maple Grove, MN, USA
Comments: After running in many pairs of Asics over the years, I felt fairly confident in the description offered for the GT 1000. Shoe was way too tight through the toe box and arch. The instep height is shallow and not ample for someone with a medium to high arch. Very sad because I really believed this one would be my go to shoe upon arrival.

Tough loss for Canada at women's world volleyball championships
OSAKA, Japan - Canada experienced the highest of the highs and lowest of the lows on Tuesday in its fourth round robin match at the women's world volleyball championships.
Needing a win to have any chance of advancing to the second round of the competition, Canada came out swinging and took the first two sets before watching Turkey come back to capture the match in five games 19-25, 20-25, 25-14, 25-17, 15-8.
"We're going to sit with it for a couple of hours, this is a pretty emotional loss," said Team Canada captain Tammy Mahon. "There was a lot riding on this game for us."
With the loss, Canada drops to 0-4 in Pool D play.
Sarah Pavan led Canada with 17 points, on 14 kills, two blocks and an ace. Tiffany Dodds chipped in with 11 points and Mahon had seven, including three service aces.
Neslihan Darnel had 25 points for Turkey, while Eda Erdem added 19.
"We came out strong, like we wanted to," said Mahon. "It was a good start for us, but unfortunately, two sets aren't enough in volleyball."
Canada showcased an impressive all-around game in the first two sets, but things started to unravel during the third set and they simply couldn't find a way to recover.
"In the third set, our passing fell apart and when you're passing falls apart, you can't run an offence," said Pavan. "Our passing fell apart and we weren't digging balls either and when you're not doing either of those things, it makes it very difficult.
"I can't tell you why it happened. I wish I had the answer."
It was a painful loss to endure, but this was another valuable lesson for Canada on the importance of closing out matches.
"We see what we can do when we play disciplined and are focused," said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. "Maybe Turkey didn't play well in the first two sets, but a team only plays as well as you let play. We did a great job there and this is what we have to keep up.
"We saw that we had the chance (to win) and we've improved in every match. We've had small steps and then a very big step."
Canada wraps up the round robin on Wednesday against the Dominican Republic.
"Tomorrow is another day and another big game. We'll take what happened today and learn from that," said Mahon. "The Dominican Republic is a big rival for us in the NORCECA zone. We want to come out tomorrow with the same fire and that bad taste in our mouth from losing and not let it happen again."

Sports on Earth's Will Leitch breaks down what you can expect in this win-or-go-home Wild Card playoff game.
It's game time for the Reds-Pirates National League wild-card game, with the winner advancing to the Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. USA TODAY Sports' Paul White goes deep inside today's matchup:
SCHEDULE: Postseason times and probable
OCTOBER: Who will emerge in these playoffs?
The starters
Most teams would love to have their opening-day starter lined up for a winner-take-all game. The Reds are just happy to have Johnny Cueto available at all. Cueto made two starts in September after returning from nearly 12 weeks on the disabled list and allowed one run and eight hits in 12 innings. Those numbers are similar to his pre-injury stats, and that's important, considering he held the Pirates to one hit in eight innings May31. His other start this year against the Pirates was in April, when he left in the fifth inning with triceps pain. Cueto is 8-2 with a 1.80 ERA in his career at PNC Park.
Francisco Liriano has been a difference-maker for the Pirates since coming off the disabled list in May. An offseason free-agent gamble, Liriano won 16 games, six more than anyone else on the staff, but his 182 innings (including minor league rehab games) are his most since 2010. He won once in five September starts over which he had a 5.14 ERA. But his best September game was against the Reds, when he allowed two runs and three hits in eight innings. He struck out 18 over 14 innings in two home starts against the Reds.
PIRATES: Hope for more than one-and-done
The lineups
Cincinnati's biggest concern is second baseman Brandon Phillips, who limped through last weekend after taking a foul ball off his shin. The emotional spark plug of the team, he already was struggling in September, batting .211 for the month. But center fielder and leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo is hot again, hitting .309 with a 1.008 on-base-plus-slugging mark in September. He, Joey Votto and Jay Bruce combined for 70 walks over the final month, so they're making pitchers work.
Andrew McCutchen's MVP-level second half and the late-August acquisition of Marlon Byrd saved the Pittsburgh offense. Overall, the Pirates haven't hit much lately — .238 in September — but McCutchen and Byrd batted better than .300 in the final month. There's still quick-strike capability, especially from Pedro Alvarez with a team-best 36 homers and 100 RBI despite a .233 batting average. N
eil Walker has taken up the Alvarez approach; he hit .207 September but seven of his 19 hits were home runs.
Why the Reds will win
Their recent big-game history isn't very impressive, with losses in the last three games of last year's Division Series against the San Francisco Giants and all three games in this past weekend's showdown against Pittsburgh. But just having been there helps the Reds against a team new to the playoff experience and looking to impress the home crowd. In what should be a tight game, the Reds have more game-breaking potential, from the power of Votto and Bruce to the speed of Billy Hamilton.
Why the Pirates will win
Home advantage often means little in the postseason, but in playoff-starved Pittsburgh a rocking ballpark has to help. So do the Pirates' late-season roster additions. Justin Morneau gives them another left-handed hitter against Cueto. Byrd is right-handed but is 7-for-12 against Cueto. With only two starts since he came off the disabled list, stamina could be a factor fior Cueto f the Pirates can make him work hard early. If it becomes a bullpen game, the Pirates have the edge at least until the ninth inning, when Aroldis Chapman shifts the balance to Cincinnati.
Maybe the Reds are better off on the road, considering the Pirates' weekend sweep in Cincinnati created questions there about the Reds' readiness for this game. But those questions wouldn't exist if the Reds had earned the two wins they needed to host tonight's game. Their 2012 meltdown after leading their Division Series 2-0 also came at home.
This should come down to a big hit late against one of the relievers. Season-long statistics say that's an advantage for Pittsburgh, but look closer. Over the past month, Cincinnati's 2.03 bullpen ERA is the best in the majors by nearly one-third of a run — and well over a run better than the Pirates' mark. Advantage, Reds.

The United States Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration levied a record $1.85 million in fines today against those they feel contributed to the August, 2007 mine collapses at Crandall Canyon.
In a press release issued by the DOL, it was reported that the operator of the mine, located in Emery County, was fined $1.34 million for violations that directly contributed to the deaths of six miners.
Agapito Associates Inc.(AAI), a mining engineer consultant, was fined $220,000 for faulty analysis of the the mines design.
MSHA then cited the mine operator for 11 additional noncontributory violations issued as the result of the investigation. The proposed penalty for those violations is $296,664, bringing the total proposed penalties against the mine operator to $1,636,664, a record for coal company fines, according to Department of Labor Assistant Secretary Richard Stickler. Crandall Canyon mine is operated by Genwal Resources Inc.(GRI), whose parent company is Murray Energy Corporation, according to the release.
Further data provided at the conference states, "The Aug. 6 collapse was not a natural earthquake but rather was caused by a flawed mine design. GRI and AAI's mine design was not compatible with effective control of coal bursts. The dimensions of pillars within the active workings, as well as dimensions of the adjoining barrier pillars, did not provide sufficient strength to withstand stresses."
Comments made by Stickler and Richard Gates, District 11 Manager, also alleged that for reasons that have never been determined, GRI mined cuts from the barrier in the south barrier section between crosscuts 139 and 142 intended to be left unmined to protect the bleeder system.
MSHA and other government officials met with families of the deceased miners and the media on Thursday for more than five hours, meticulously detailing their finding during the nearly year long investigation. Following the press conference, the family's attorney spoke to news crews explaining their approval of the MSHA investigation and reiterating their eagerness to receive further news from Depart of Justice and United States Attorney General.
Representing Genwall Resources Inc. was Kevin Anderson who read a prepared statement.
"Regrettably, this report does not have the benefit of all of the facts," said Anderson. "And appears to have been tainted in part by ten months of relentless political clamoring to lay blame for these tragic events."
A full review of the press conference will be detailed in Tuesday's Sun Advocate.

Spro John Crews Little John DD Crankbait 1-oz
The Spro Little John DD "Deep Diving" Crankbaits take the winning Little John Crankbait formula into the dark depths. Spro and elite bass pro John Crews designed the Little John DD to dive down to an amazing 20 ft with ease. The Little John DD has a bill that is pointed slightly downward, allowing it bounce off cover without losing depth and track straight along the bottom without kicking out wildly. A unique Tungsten weight transfer system and aerodynamic streamline design allows the angler to launch the Little John DD an incredible distance and creates an ideal balance in the water. The Spro Little John DD Crankbaits are available in an array of proven fish catching colors and come standard with sticky, sharp Gamakatsu hooks.
"I designed the DD John to be the best deep diving crank bait ever created!" - John Crews, Bassmaster Elite Tour Pro.

Comments: well I was getting tired of losing $16-18 cranks (yes I use a retriever) so I found this alternative in the Little John DD in spooky shad. The bait has a flat sided design and the hooks and swivels are top notch. One thing unique about this bait is the pitch of the knocker. It's deeper in sound than most cranks due to the rubber coating around it and I found it to be deadly on cold clear lakes. HOWEVER THESE BAITS have a huge inconsistency with running straight. After tuning them they do not run the sAme as the ones that come straight. After hitting rocks they go back to running to the side. When you get a straight one they run perfect no matter what you do to it I've spent 10 minutes trying to get one of these GOOD ones back. I hope this helps
From: Mike: CA 1/9/15
Comments: these baits don't come tuned. if you tune it right on a long cast light line you can reach 19-20 ft max
From: Paul: Anderson, SC 12/31/14
Comments: Best for castability! Dives hard and gets the job done when you want to hit 15+ ft.
From: Val: La Crosse, WI
Comments: I can say on lake guntersville if your not chunking this on the ledges your missing out ! It sure fires up the school and you get 2 bass on at the same time..
From: Jim: Guntersville AL
Comments: Love these Cranks. they need more colors, especially a craw color
From: Tom: lansing Michigan
Comments: my favorite crankbait by far! Easily gets to 20 feet. Casts a mile. Runs true immediatly after deflection. Cellmate is the deal but have caught fish to 6 lbs on all colors. In Pennsylvania a 6 is a pig. A must buy!
From: James: The Nok, PA
Comments: Great stock hooks. Catches fish for sure. I cannot get bait to touch down to 20' on a cast but it will troll that deep. I would say that 8-13 foot is a good casting depth range to fish this bait with 12# line. Gets down very quickly on a slow steady retrieve. This lure will be around for a while.
From: Nathan: Pasco, WA
Comments: It's a good crank , but TW says it's 1oz and the package says 3/4 oz .
From: JF: NY
Comments: 20 ft. No problem? Using 10 lb. Seagar flr. I worked to hit 12 feet. Took me half a cast to hit bottom. Back to drawing board.
From: David: TX
Comments: Used Chart/Blue and Nasty shad on KY lake for past several months with great success. Truely gets down to 20 ft depth with less effort than using the DD22, Strike King XD or Fat Free Shad. Chart/Blue worked well in sunny days and Nasty shad excelled when cloudy. Personally, I am not a fan of throwing huge, deep diving crankbaits. But the Spro is easier to wind, and really catches large fish (> 5lbs) off when you deflect it off the shell beds on KY lake in 16-20' of water. highly recommend.
From: Eric: Clarksville, TN
Comments: great crankbait. it really gets down deep and catches fish. they have great action, super hooks, excellent castability, and are very durable. i have a tendancy, though, not to throw this bait unless money's on the line. when you throw crankbaits, you can't be afraid to get them hung up. that's where the bass live. if i spend a day cranking, it doesn't take much effort to lose 3 or 4 crankbaits a day. it makes my stomach turn a little less to lose a dd22 or fat free shad as apposed to these little $11 gems.
From: Dan: WV
Comments: Great deep diving crank. I have the rootbeer chartreuse color and have been hammering bass with it. Deflects off cover better than any other crank I've got right now.
From: Mike: Jackson, MO
Comments: Awesome bait, just recently won a tournament on it with 13 lbs and second place was 8. This bait gets it done, casts like a rock, runs at least 20 feet deep on a good cast, and also it is a lot easier to reel than other deep diving crankbaits. Two best colors seem to be Cell Mate, Rootbeer Chartreuse, and Clear Chartreuse
From: Jake: Greer, SC
Comments: Awsome bait. Good job Spro!
From: Taylor: Georgia
Comments: this bait not only runs true out of the box, you can fish the little john DD all day without getting wore out
From: Frank: Baltimore, MD
Comments: Very often when fishing other deep divers I just can't get the bait in that 16-19ft range. The Lil John DD runs like the Cadillac of crankbaits and when paired with my Powell 745CB-glass and Abu Winch this lure earns a check everytime. Approved by Captain Hookset himself. Spooky Shad is all you need.
From: Matt: North Haven, CT

Governor's Weekly Radio Address: State of the State
This week, I delivered my third State of the State address to the people of Wisconsin. I'm happy to say we are moving Wisconsin forward with bold vision and bright hope for the future.
When I delivered my first address, I had just taken office, and we were facing monumental challenges–including a $3.6 billion budget deficit and 7.8% unemployment. We made tough, but prudent choices and vowed to remain focused on what's best for future generations.
One year later, we were turning things around. After balancing the budget and putting in place long-term structural reforms, we worked hard to identify the needs of job creators, to help put people back to work. Property taxes on a median valued home went down for the first time in 12 years. We even added money to the state's rainy day fund.
Today, we have a $342 million dollar budget surplus. For the first time in history, we added money to the rainy day fund in two consecutive years. And property taxes – are down again this year on a median valued home. As for the unemployment, rate it's down to 6.7%.
Our accomplishments of the past couple of years allow us to now invest in our priorities – which are:
· creating jobs
· developing the workforce
· transforming education
· reforming government; and
· investing in our infrastructure.
I'll talk more about these priorities in my budget address next month. But looking back on how far we've come as a state in the past year, I am very optimistic about what is yet to come.
We are moving with bold vision and bright hope for the future of Wisconsin.

|In response to Not!!!
: I own a 70 year old home which since I moved in 5 years ago has had sewer odors in the upstairs bathroom from time to time. I am about to remodel the upstairs bath, and fix the poor venting which i think is the problem. Before I can rip the bathroom apart however, I need to install drains, etc in the basement and install a shower 'cause the small first floor bath only has a toilet(which never had sewer odors). So i cut open the floor and decided to test the flow of my sewer pipe. It backed up bad when the washing machine purges so I did some testing and found tree root invasion , replaced damaged terra cotta pipes w/ PVC and had sewer authority test rest of sys-sewer is now wide open---problem is my downstairs toilet room now stinks like sewer and upstairs toilet stinks more often. There is no vent at all in 20 ft. run from lower toilet to main stack, could removal of blockage in the sewer line be leaving excess gas to push against bowl trap and somehow get by? I flushed toilet, shut off water and stuffed rags and plastic in bowl hole, let sit couple hours and odor MAY have abated a little. Some more info- The water level in the bowl is as high as its ever been so I can assume the increased flow in the pipes isnt sucking the water out of the trap. The bowl has no visible cracks. The only thing left is the wax ring. I can access bottom of toilet from the open basement- the wax ring is not letting water leak out. Is it possible for the wax to fail in such a way as to let sewer gases escape but not let water leak when flushed? And yes I do intend to vent the toilet run when i install my basement bath...

The tough week for gold bulls is ending with a tough Friday for the stock market. The U.S. added a meager 88,000 new jobs in March, and the unemployment rate dropped – largely because 496,000 people dropped out of the labor force, as my colleague Mike Aneiro points out. The risk-averse tone Friday is giving gold its old role as a haven.
Spot gold is ahead by 0.9% at $1,566.50, helping SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) to gains in early trading. This is just after the gold price set another 2013 low on Thursday. From the Dow Jones Market Data Group:
Front Month Comex Gold for April delivery lost $1.00 per troy ounce, or 0.06% to $1551.80.
- Down for three straight sessions
- Down $48.20 or 3.01% over the past three sessions
- Down four of the past five sessions
- Off 17.84% from its record settle high of $1888.70, hit on Monday, August 22, 2011.
- Off 8.33% from its 2013 settle high of $1692.80, hit on Tuesday, January 22, 2013.

The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

Cute but...
"The shoes are adorable however, I could not even get my foot into it. I usually wear a 6.5 sometimes 7 and rarely have a problem. I ordered 7 as I thought they might be a bit narrow and that usually works for me. Sadly, this time they had to go back.."

Incredibly long strap
"Toe cap is a little stiff, but heel strap is so very long these are going back. Doesn't seem to run large though--the foot bed runs true to size and toe area is not loose, it just needs a buckle to adjust the size."

The Helper American Legion team finished out the season at state with two wins and two losses. Coach Jeff Cisneros said, "After beating Grantsville on Saturday we came back to take on the older Taylorsville team. Taylorsville scored 2 runs in the top of the first, but we came back in the bottom of the first and scored 4. A single by Basinger and a walk to Danny Flahie set the table for Daniel Peczuh who blasted a 3 run homerun. Tyler Bean followed with a double and Chris Coleman singled him in and we took a 4-2 lead. That lead did not last long as Taylorsville got to our starting pitcher Braden Bolotas in the bottom of the second. They scored 6 runs in the inning and took a 8-4 lead. Clint Finkbiner came in to pitch but the damage was done. Neither team scored over the next 3 innings. T-ville scored 3 more runs in the fifth inning and took a 11-4 lead. We added 2 runs in the bottom of the sixth and left bases loaded in the seventh without scoring. The final score was 11-6. Colter Moore came in to pitch also and did a very nice job. Taylorsville is a team that you just have to score with, they have great hitting as they blasted 4 homeruns against us and we just did not hit and score in the middle innings. The loss dropped us into the loser bracket which meant we had to play Box Elder Tuesday at 1 p.m.
"Tuesday's game with Box Elder started out very slow. Box Elder finished tied for second in the North league this year and we knew they were going to be a good team. The first game after being dropped into the loser bracket is always a tough one to get motivated for and I was little worried about how we would show up to play. Box Elder scored first as they scored 1 run in the first, 3 in the third and scored 2 more in the fourth. We found ourselves down 6-0 and our bats had not showed up. We had 1 hit through the first 4 innings and I was desperate to try and find some offense. I started substituting guys trying to find a spark. We did score 2 runs in the bottom of the fourth as Tyler Bean doubled and Kenny Seals singled. The score after four innings was 6-2. Haden Basinger started on the mound and was relieved in the third inning and Derek Anderson came in and took over. Derek had struggled in his last few outings but on this day he was ready to pitch. After allowing 2 runs in the fourth Derek did not allow another run and really kept us in the game. Our offense started to click and we scored 3 runs in the bottom of the sixth. A single by Bean and Chris Coleman and another double by Kenny Seals kept the comeback alive. The score after six innings was now 6-5 in favor of Box Elder. The nice thing about being home team was you always have a chance to score last and we took advantage of this opportunity on this day. A walk to Derek Anderson started the inning. Nate Martinez came in to pinch hit and missed a walk off homerun by only feet, but his double was good enough to score Anderson and tie the game. With Martinez on second and two outs Tyler Bean came to bat. Tyler had been hitting the ball good all day and his hot hitting continued as he sent a 2-2 pitch into centerfield and scored Martinez to win the game. The final score 7-6 in our favor. All 17 guys on our team played in the game and 16 of those guys got a chance to contribute on the offensive end. This was the true meaning of a team win and I was proud of the way the guys hung in there and chipped away at their lead and eventually won the game.
"The win meant we played at 5 p.m. on Wednesday against the North league champ Blacksmith. Blacksmith is a team made up of Mountain Crest players from up North. They won the North league this year and had a very good summer. The game started out from the first inning as a pitchers duel. Blacksmith's pitcher walked our first batter, but on the next pitch picked him off first base. We struggled to get any base runners against him after that. Meanwhile Josh Dennison was in full command of the Blacksmith hitters as he sat them down one by one. The first four innings saw neither team do anything as both pitchers did a great job of controlling the game. Blacksmith was the first to break through as their lead off hitter in the fifth inning hit a ball to right field that was misplayed. On the play the umpires called interference on our first baseman and awarded the Blacksmith player to go to third base. This was a bad call and a call that quickly changed the whole momentum of the game. Two pitches later they scored on a well executed squeeze bunt and the score stood at 1-0. We came in and quickly got guys on base in the top of the sixth inning. With runners on first and third and one out we hit a ball to centerfield. The centerfielder caught the ball and threw a strike to home plate and threw out our runner who was trying to score. A double play ended the inning and seemed to end our hopes of doing anything. We fell apart the next inning and Blacksmith scored 7 runs on 5 hits and 3 errors. The final score was 8-0. This was a great game and the 8-0 score does not tell the story of how well played this game was. The ump's changed the momentum of the game and we just never seemed like we recovered. Josh Dennison pitched his best game of the season, but it came with no reward as the loss meant the season was over.
"Overall our season record was 18-12 and we had our ups and downs. After struggling at the Idaho tournament early in the season we came home and regrouped and had a 9-0 record in league play at one time. We finished the league play by winning only one of our next seven league games and finished the league with a 10-6 record. Good enough for fourth place and another shot at the state tournament. I was very happy to see some of the improvement of our players over the course of the season and I'm very excited about the potential next year's team has. We only lose four players from this years squad and with the good upcoming talent I feel the next three or four years could be very exciting. I hope the boys continue to work hard and I look forward to the next season. I want to thank everyone who helped make this year a success. All the sponsors and people at the local newspapers. Without all this support summer baseball in our area would never survive," said Cisneros.
Players on the Helper Legion 2009 team included: Haden Basinger, Quinn Montgomery, Dakota Cisneros, Braden Bolotas, Kash Jewkes, Clint Finkbiner, Daniel Peczuh, Josh Denison, Danny Flahie, Derick Anderson, Nick Stoddard, Austin Davis, Nathan Martinez, Chris Coleman, Colter Moore, Tyler Bean, Beau Rich, Kenny Seals, Jeff Cisneros, Coach and Manager, Dusty Litster, Coach, Trevor Thompson, coach and Chris Hatch, coach.

Warm, cozy, and adorable!
"These boots are fantastic! I wore them to tailgate for 3 hours in 0 degree weather, and my tootsies were toasty as can be! One note of caution: these boots are so warm that you should not plan to wear them on days/nights where you'll be wearing the boots indoors. However, they are absolutely adorable, comfortable for walking, dancing, or standing, and go well with pants, leggings, or tights! I received many compliments. Love them!"

"I love Minnetonka shoes, so I decided to try the brand out for my winter boots this year. I am very pleased with these boots. They are insanely cozy and warm and very comfortable, like all Minnetonka shoes. As others have noted, the string comes undone easily, but this appears to be fixed with a double knot (though I haven't trudged through snow in them yet, so that remains to be seen). I find that the furriness inside the boot makes them slightly more narrow, but not by much. I only wish they came up a bit higher for when the snow builds up, but I knew the height before I purchased them and decided they were worth it anyway. If I could give a half-rating, I would give these 4.5 stars."

Those boots make winter look cool!
"After my boyfriend proclaimed his profound dislike of all things Ugg, I decided to see what was out there and try to find other comfy snow boots. I am so happy!! Those boots are stylish yet comfortable and warm. I purchased them right before we got 2 feet of snow in 24 hours and they passed the test. My feet stayed dry AND warm and they still look nice. The only thing I noticed is that the salt does leave a stain but after wiping them with a clean wet cloth, they look like new again. Love them!"

Very nice! Feather, are you familiar with the Fern Gully Blowhole? Just head south out of town and park in front of the Little River Cemetery. Walk straight back through the cemetery toward the ocean; you'll see a little opening in the fence. Walk through the opening; you'll see the trail. It's only about a minute's easy walk from there, but be careful of your footing as you approach the blowhole! You'll see why right away. Check the tides before you go: at low tide, it's only sand and seaweed down there, no water at all, but you can see the tunnel. High tide, you get the blow. Looks like in rain, you'll get waterfalls. The trail continues around the blowhole, and to either side toward the sea. The left trail has the better ocean view access. Today there were drifts of tiny mushrooms, especially on the right trail.
Enjoy! And thank you for all the wonderful photos you've shared this year!

Very cute but not durable
"These were really cute and my daughter loved them, however, they broke the first day she wore them! It's not like she was playing and they broke- we we're running errands and sitting in offices that day when the ankle strap came off. Still trying to decide if they're worth taking to the shoe repair man."

Just Alright
"I purchased the brown version of these shoes. They are a great height and a fun style. My niece likae them a lot.But, the foot bed padding appears to be pealing off the shoe already and they were only tried on for fit. Also, the faux leather does look a little cheap.This is making me very hesitant to keep them and they will likely be returned. I would only keep them if the price was much lower."
