I mean didn't the Wizards beat us like by 96 or something in April?

Key to this season so far? Our off season. We had some guys who cared during the off-season, trained hard to get better, and the results are showing to this point on the court.
I think last years trip to the semi's, more than the first two years there, got this team hungry to go farther. And we have about a two year window, before Joe just gets too old, unless we get fortunate on a couple of good 1st picks the next two drafts, for some good energy off the bench.

Some of you guys are silly. You know it was the Wizards right?
Rebounding is about mentality to a degree? And to another degree McGee is a stringbean, Blatche is an immobile idiot and Rashard Lewis is immobile and washed up. etc etc
Lets see what happens when we go to visit guys who'll likely have Homecourt Advantages in the playoffs ie the Heat or the Bulls.

This has been an awesome holiday for me before I go back overseas.
I saw my hawks win their season opener and Ill get to see my cowboys win their season finale. Times like this make it hard to go back.
Keep winning hawks

Beware the Nets! Why? Whenever you blow out a team the way we did them the other night, the tendency is, is not to play as hard against them the next time you meet.
And the tendency of the other team is too play harder to avoid the blowout again.
So it may be a little bit of a trap game for us, that could get out of hand if we allow NJ to get on a roll.
You don't want the Nets hanging around until the last 2 minutes of the game in other words. Stomp'um early, and go about your business.
December 29th, 2011
12:08 pm
The Heat are playing the big 3 too many minutes in a compressed schedule. Yes, the Heat catch some breaks, like 3 or 4 days off in the middle of January, because they started early. But they still play some really tough stretches. Spoelestra may need to takes some L's now to have a healthy team for the playoffs.
And Pargo and Green are still learning the system – Our last two guys signed. Judge them in a couple of weeks.

ken: no disrespect but i haven't read one of your posts in some time. what i wrote about pargo had nothing to do with you. happy new years buddy.

It is way too early to get overly happy or to be antagonistic towards our Team. Let's wait 25 Games and look at this again.
December 29th, 2011
12:12 pm
The Nets are worthless. At worst they'll put up a better fight. Gotta watch Anthony Morrow. I don't think Williams will try too hard useless the rest of the team shows up. Other than that, I think he's pretty bummed out and depressed that he has to be on this wack team.
December 29th, 2011
12:14 pm
HONEST ABE-Happy New Year to you to.
December 29th, 2011

Speaking of depressed, POOR JORDAN CRAWFORD! He really doesn't seem happy, especially after letting the Nets steal that game where they were up 21 points.

In reference to Pargo, I heard how Mark Jackson was complementing Ish Smith last night. That is the guy who I thought we could have used as a good complement to JT. Time will tell, but Ish had some good games in Houston last year.

12:33 pm
Last yr there were complaits about the inability of the Hawks to put away weaker teams like the Nets and Wizzards. Now we're hearing complaints and/or excuses about them actually being able to put those very teams away. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. I love our current bench. I'd take this bench, without Jamal, over our previous benches, with Jamal, any day of the week. TMac is a better defender, rebounder, penetrator, passer and facilitor, and he offers more varsitility.
Radmanovic is Jamal's equal as a 3pt shooter, is a much better rebounder, and a far more willing defender. Pargo and Green are both much better defenders, and offer us more OFF and DEF options. And IJohnson gives us more energy, agressiveness, physicality and rebounding potential than EThomas, JPowell, or HThomas would have ever provided.
This is why I've been so high on this team.
December 29th, 2011

Marvin Williams
17 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block
The boy put up a "Josh Smith" type of stat line. If we can get this type of production from Marvin, look the Hell out!
December 29th, 2011
12:44 pm
Atlanta's bench was ranked 16th in scoring last year at 30.3 points per game average.
No reason why they cannot be averaging 40-43 points per game this year especially when Hinrich is back!
December 29th, 2011
12:45 pm
Marvin is off to a great start!
@ Ken Strickland…
I ain't complaining one bit!
December 29th, 2011
12:46 pm
@ Ken Strickland
Reason for the complaints is it's so early in the season I'll give them this much they're not playing down to the weaker competition.
As for Pargo and Green I'd rather keep Green and cut Pargo if he plays like that again he can pack his bags and GTFO just saying.
Compared to what we had to work with last year where it felt like we only had 6 players it feels as though we got at least 11 this year.
Someone either on this blog or another called for Etan Thomas to come back please get him out of here.
December 29th, 2011
12:55 pm
We now have our PG of the future in JTeague. Actually, we've had him all along, but due to circumstances beyond his handlers control, and the circumstances of last yrs playoffs, Drew was forced to let him out of the cage he had him in. A healthy Marvin, along with the addition of TMac, gives us solid and potentially consistent scoring, rebounding and DEF from the SF position. The Hawks will be a serious contender and a formitable foe come playoff time.
December 29th, 2011
1:02 pm
Atlanta gets the Heat both times in January on the back end of a back-to-back for the Heat. The Heat play the Bobcats on January 1 in Miami and then the Hawks go to Miami on January 2. Hopefully the Bobcats will give them fits again.
The Pacers play the Heat on January 4 in Miami and then the Heat come to Atlanta on January 5.
Meanwhile, the Hawks have the day off each time they play the Heat.

" I've got my body in better shape, and I feel better. I was never going to make excuses, but my back was bothering me the last two or three years. I had a discectomy [June 8]. Basically, I had a disk pressing up against a nerve and it was making my leg numb. A lot of times I would be out there, and my leg would just start tingling. Man, [the NBA lockout] was a blessing for me. A lot of other guys wouldn't say that, but having that much time to get healthy really helped."
– Marvin Williams.
All this Marvin love is funny. The guy has played like a professional basketball player for the first two games of the season, against Rashaad Lewis and Damien James. In two games he is averaging 15.5ppg, 8.5 rpg, and 41%FG. I was impressed with him taking the open shots with no hesitation, and playing aggressive. This is how he should always play. Let's not crown him so fast. He does have 6 years of stats and games that we have used to form an opinion on him on. If the above quote from Marvin is true, then the Hawks medical staff should all be fired. If this guy was walking around with his leg numbing, and a disc pressing against a nerve for 3 years, and did not have surgery earlier, then we have some very incompotent doctors working for the Hawks. Lets wait a couple of games before we make him the best player on the Hawks team (LOL). He does look much better this year, but I am sure that the back problems stem from the fact that he falls so much, because he is always off balance. Lets also hope that his balance is better, because Marvin hitting the boards, and taking and making open shots makes the Hawks a much better team.
The team looks good so far, and I am glad the Drew understands that he will have to play his bench this year. TMac look better than I thought, and if he can stay healthy, he will be the key guy for this team to progress past the second round.
December 29th, 2011
1:20 pm
RAY-As you said, they're not playing down to the weaker teams. It certainly not too early for you to realize that fact. Please don't forget that Pargo didn't participate in any of our training camp, and hasn't completely learned our OFF/DEF systems, or his teammates. He's also nothing more than a fill in until Hinrich returns. Both Green and Hinrich are combo guards, which gives us more size and versatility. His primary job at this point is to provide rest for Teague, run the OFF, and continue to push the ball and play solid perimeter DEF.
Don't worry about the number of jumpshots we're taking. Remember, in adding Radmanovic, Green, Pargo, TMac, and Johnson, we've added 5 new players who are pretty good jumpshooters, while losing only one(JCrawford). In addition to the number of jumpshots we've taken, we've also had an increase in the number of FTs taken in the last 2gms.
Doesn't it seem rather hippocritical for those who claim IT'S TOO EARLY TO JUDGE, to have no problem whatsoever in passing judgement on any player they don't particularly like within the same time frame?
December 29th, 2011

I hear that Lebron feller is much more physical than Damien James and an aging Rashard Lewis.
Is it true?
Keep up the balance Marvin. smh

Rev in Tampa, I believe the performance by Marvin is for real…he just looks pain free…trust me after going through some major surgery myself…I know what it feels like to be pain free. A healthy Marvin on top of his game…could be A MATCHUP NIGHTMARE for a lot of teams.
If we get double doubles out of Josh, Al, and Marvin in multiple games…that spells trouble for the opposition.
December 29th, 2011
1:35 pm
Marvin being aggressive in stayed of standing around like past 3 years, is the big differnce in his game thus far.
Continue the good work Marvin and Rod from CP will be proud of you LOL!!!!!!!!!
December 29th, 2011
1:39 pm
Hey Marvin, I'm sorry I ripped into you the past 3 seasons…I had no idea you were hurt like that?
Glad to hear and see you are well and kickin some azz out there dude!! Keep up the good work Sir!!

ok last point on pargo. it's not like this guy is a rookie. he's always sucked and he sucks even more now. end of discussion.
December 29th, 2011
1:46 pm
A Stretch Im just wondering why are we so high off the bulls a good team yes a championship team no. They are like ais sixers,but drose is no a.i. One very good and a bunch of role players who arent great so they sacrfice their bodies for defense. We are better than them we rarely play to our potential.
Now Doc the Heat I think is a real title contender,along with spurs,clips, thunder,and maybe Denver. I agree the heat have Wade and Lebron but after that I think the two best players are JJ & AL & maybe then Josh. I'm just not fond of finesse bigs, I want my bigs rebounding and being tough and he plays too soft for me. I like our chances.
Oh yeah doc I wasn't saying jc stopped Marvin's growth but what I'm saying is valid it's like hey you in the allstar game your season avg can't be twenty if you getting ten minutes and kobe getting twenty. We can't beat time or numbers
December 29th, 2011
1:50 pm
Al on the radio now. Says our goal is to be the best team we can be.

Last night I could not find any stats on the game besides one line overhead. What happened to this arena? ASG needs to step up
December 29th, 2011
1:57 pm
Rod From CP,
I must agree with you. How does a player's leg go numb during the game and no one takes notice, WTF? But then again, this is ASG we're talking about here, shouldn't be too much of a surprise. What's even scarier though is that if there was no lockout, Marvin likely wouldn't have gotten the surgery, SMH.
*shivers at the thought*
December 29th, 2011
1:57 pm
Its funny that people are so harsh on Pargo.
He is known to be a bad shooter for his whole career, mostly due to poor shot selection. It's not that this should surprise anyone.
But yesterday, the majority of his shots were all wide open, within the normal development of the offense and not forced. He simply did not get them to go in.
If he had been throwing bricks on transition or trying to play here, fine, you could all criticize.
I don't remember some of the guys killing Pargo on the blog being so harsh on Jamal who could go 3 or 4 games in a row ICE COLD whilst bringing zero else to the table.
Pargo had a very decent game in NJ, doing a very good job on D, which is something that Sloan has proven not to be able to do (he is a freeway, even worst on D than Jamal and Bibby together).
Yesterday the match up was a lot more difficult since Wall is virtually unstoppable so practically everyone gets burned by him.
Pargo is our 3rd string PG, so lay off a bit!!!
Both he and Green are new comers which did not even had the benefit of a few days to work and know the system: they are learning and Green was sitting at home so he is probably not even physically ready to work his game.

All American Al … lol. sounding like Jameer or some backup.
No more media for this guy. Trade him for Bogut and Leuer or if Im crazy enough to dream Dwight and Andersen/Turkoglu.
I doubt that Horford for Dwight will fly. AT ALL. Now Leuer is starting to impress around the league. But Mbah a Moute and Gooden are owed more money and should play right away instead of developing the perimeter Leuer.
Bogut 1 year removed from injury is a good for a Tyson Chandler type 30mpg as predicted.
I though Jon Leer and Bogut could have been had before but now… Probably have to wait till Bucks slide out of playoffs, because if they;re locked into playoffs no way they want to go to war with Horford.
December 29th, 2011

All Bosh has to do is stand and finesse from 17 feet. No one likes him but he delivers more oft than not.
December 29th, 2011

Over/under the number of games until Smith.Leuer.Bogut have a nervous breakdown on the blog like the almighty TS? Anyone remember him? LMAO.

Piqued my curiosity. Someone here had a Nervous breakdown? What do you mean? Over the Hawks? Who's TS?
He must have bet on the Hawks beating the Bulls. I dont bet lol.

2:13 pm
vava: whatever. who's talking about pargo starting? not me. we all know what he is role is so no need to expound on that point. but he's not an nba guard. the guy is a career 38% shooter! a 38% shooter! what you saw last night is not an aberration. he's god awful. he turns it over like it's nobody's business. so tell me exactly what he does well. i think you mentioned something about his d. really? i've yet to see him come close to guarding anyone. look i know he's a end of the bench player all i'm saying is he doesn't even deserve a freaking seat! go look at his career. the guy has been a joke for too long. even his passes are god awful.
willie green on the other hand has a lot of value. he's tough, hard working guy that can hit an occasional jumper. he's got high basketball iq and should contribute throughout the season. its too bad the same can't be said for pargo.

Children's Health
High BP in Kids May Be Less Common Than Thought
All in all, just 0.3 percent of the whole study group had confirmed high blood pressure, the researchers found.
Both Lo and Daniels said the findings underscore the importance of doing repeat measurements to confirm that a child actually has high blood pressure, and not just a temporary spike.
To nail down the true prevalence of high blood pressure, Daniels said researchers need to follow a nationally representative sample of children who have three consecutive blood pressure readings taken over time.
But whatever the true rate is, no one is calling for a change in children's routine care.
High blood pressure may not be highly common in children -- which is "good news," Daniels said. But kids with high blood pressure often become adults with the condition. If not treated properly, high blood pressure can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure and other health problems.
"Blood pressure tracks from childhood to adulthood," Lo said. "So diagnosing hypertension in a child suggests it will also be present in adulthood, although this is not 100 percent predictable."
High blood pressure is diagnosed differently in children than in adults. There is no cut-off number, which in adults is a reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher. Children are diagnosed with the condition if they have three consecutive readings that are at or above the 95th percentile for their age, sex and height.
Treatment depends on the cause, if it's known. If blood pressure is very high, Daniels noted, it is likely due to an underlying condition, like kidney disease. Otherwise, a child's numbers can often be reined in with a healthy diet, exercise and, if needed, weight loss.

» 'More Americans believe world is warming: Reuters/Ipsos'
Interesting to think that the GOP "debates" are backfiring.
From Reuters:
More Americans than last year believe the world is warming and the change is likely influenced by the Republican presidential debates, a Reuters/Ipsos poll said on Thursday.
The percentage of Americans who believe the Earth has been warming rose to 83 percent from 75 percent last year in the poll conducted Sept 8-12.
Republican presidential candidates, aside from Jon Huntsman, have mostly blasted the idea that emissions from burning fossil fuels and other human actions are warming the planet.
The current front-runner, Texas Governor Rick Perry, has accused scientists of manipulating climate data while Michele Bachmann has said climate change is a hoax.
As Americans watch Republicans debate the issue, they are forced to mull over what they think about global warming, said Jon Krosnick, a political science professor at Stanford University.
And what they think is also influenced by reports this year that global temperatures in 2010 were tied with 2005 to be the warmest year since the 1880s.
This year has been a record year for the kind of costly weather disasters — including Hurricane Irene, which raked the East Coast — that scientists have warned would be more frequent with climate change.The United States suffered 10 natural disasters in 2011 with economic losses of $1 billion or more, according to the National Weather Service.

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."Steve Jobs's Best Quotes - Digits - WSJ / via @jenvalentino (via amzam)

Planet Green
An earthquake occurs when a vibration moves through the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake and shift. Technically, anything that causes the ground to vibrate is an earthquake. Many people believe that earthquakes happen only when the massive tectonic plates of the Earth move against each other. The shifting and colliding of these plates is certainly the main cause of earthquakes, but volcanoes, falling meteors and other occurrences can also cause the ground beneath your feet to move. Earthquakes can also be caused by humans -- for example, an earthquake might be triggered by a nuclear blast, the collapse of a coal mine or a large explosion of some kind. Even a rumbling semi-truck can set off a mini-earthquake as it passes your home.
It's worth noting that not all earthquakes are so, well, Earth-shattering. They're capable of greater subtlety. For example, consider slow earthquakes. These are geologic events that aren't powerful enough to generate seismic waves but they still wind up affecting the distribution of stress beneath fault lines. They can occur over the course of days to months. In recent years, scientists have begun tracking slow earthquakes in an effort to more accurately forecast larger seismic occurrences. Researchers have noted such earthquakes along the famed San Andreas fault in California.
A good example of a recent slow earthquake was one that researchers tracked in Hawaii in 2007. During two consecutive days in June of that year, Hawaii's Kilauea volcano experienced a dike intrusion (a crack in the Earth's crust that fills with magma) that caused a slow earthquake on the volcano's south side. Scientists were able to study satellite and GPS data to determine that the slow earthquake began about 15 to 20 hours after the dike intrusion, bringing with it smaller micro-earthquakes as well [source: Science Daily].

Which Chairs with West Elm Oryx Table?
Good Questions
I need something visually light and affordable that doesn't detract from the cool table legs. I have a dog, so ghost-style chairs would get chewed up unless the legs were metal. I'm also not sure how comfy they are.
I've considered a campaign style like this or this IKEA one. Or I thought about a simple black metal chair with a seat I could recover in Kilim, Ikat or other ethnic fabric.
What do you guys suggest?

The World Market chair is really nice! I think the two styles would work well together, and would hold up to your dog.
I think the IKEA chairs proportions are not the best for the table and would take away from the table.
Good Luck!
Yes yes, the World Market chairs for sure!! My first thought was a square, natural wood-colored wicker but, since you have a dog, I think those are perfect.
Good score. I have something similar in my bay window and I got these light-boned iron chairs with leather drum skin stye seats and it looks great. You'd get a similar look with the campaign style chair (good pick!). I agree that there's something about the weight and line of the ikea chair that wouldn't complement as well
There uhuru Stoolen Chairs would look great with this table. You can probably build a cheaper version...
I like the World Market chairs a LOT. Like, I might steal them!
You could also go sort of old Hollywood and do canvas director's chairs -- although those wooden legs might be too tempting to your dog!
something woven like this
I immediately thought of the classic Wishbone chair...
You could add a Kilim cushion to each with a little fringe that hung over the front and sides of the seats to break up the lines and reference the bedouin/Arabic aesthetic of the oryx horns.
Definitely the World Market chair. The Ikea one overwhelms the table.
I like these - they are even shown with a very similar table and they come in a few colors as well. http://www.homefurnitureshowroom.com/dining-chairs/hillsdale-furniture-4592-804-cierra-set-dining-chair-set-of-2_g432131.html?linkloc=cataLogProductItemsName
this table is so fantastic! I can't even imagine chairs!
I'd keep checking Craigslist and see if you can find something vintage, maybe bentwood chairs or something similar. How many chairs are you looking for. I can't tell what size the table is.
Oh, and I wouldn't get the wooden stool type of seating - that really doesn't look comfortable.
I like these Home Furniture ones, too.
The ones Ketzel suggested. I can't figure out how to reply to someone's comment and have it come up next to the comment.
You've got glass and metal, so now you need leather or fabric. I didn't look at anything above, but read Kilim covered chair above and I think that would be awesome. You'll need to decide whether to go vibrant or black and white, but I'm sure there are a jillion wonderful options. If you get stuck on finding something budget minded, you could get ikat upholstery.
Oh yuck. Sorry, I looked at all the chairs above and I don't like any of them. The rattan is too big, IMO, and the others are an attempt to match.
Contrast will sets off the table and some great chairs. Here are some I think work better.
Great job scoring the table. I'd veto both these chairs though go simple but bold. Check out cb2. They have several that would look great
Depending on whether you are using it as a dining table, or club-style, for sitting alongside to read, have a cup of tea, etc, I'd consider using chairs similar to these:
Thonet style chairs might be ok
These from eBay. Or I think the World Market chair you chose would look nice.
I said bentwood because I had a memory lapse - the name is Thonet! Like DallasStudent said. You should be able to find them on Craigslist.
Are those real antelope horns?
I liked the woven Crate & Barrel ones that b77 suggested. But if you're going to recover another chair, go with an animal hide (reproduction) print like a faux suede. Or do both and drape the "hide" over the woven chair. Check the fabric stores in your area for something that looks like it once belonged on an antelope.
The first thing I thought of is outdoor furniture - iron with wicker seat/back if you can find them. A good cushion would make them comfy and the wicker would have a warm look. Or even these with wood slats:
These have a wicker seat but it's lighter than what's in my head: http://www.amazon.com/Dining-Arm-Chair-Cromwell-Sling/dp/B003APQ9PW/ref=sr_1_147?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1367448428&sr=1-147
I like the Pottery Barn choice. I'll have to pop by and see how they "sit." Thanks!
Ya know, I have an animal hide drum coffee table, so your "drape the hide" idea is interesting. Hmmm.
Nope, they're metal, thank goodness.
Lovely. Love the Kilim fabrics.
I love rattan. But so does my dog. Maybe with an iron leg tho.
I would like 4 chairs, putting 3 with the table and having the extra one nearby. The table is 40" in diameter, 33" high.
No chairs, get some of those solid wood chunk stools
Ok something else I saw some YELLOW leather drum stools in House beautiful this month. Go for something solid or it will look messy with all the legs.

When a person gets married it is definitely one of the biggest moments of their life. When a rich man gets married he has to get married for the right reasons. Love is of course one of the most important reasons to make that commitment, but it's definitely not the only thing need. Relationships and especially marriage takes work to make it successful. How do you, as a rich man, know that you have found the one? How do you know that it is a great idea to get married? Well, below you are going to read about the Top 5 Reasons Why Rich Men Get Married:
1. Marriage is a good thing when it is a healthy one. It can actually improve your health overall as you are less likely to be involved in behaviors that can be dangerous to your health. When you are married you are not out there drinking, participating in crazy stunts, etc. You want to make sure that you do everything humanly possible to come back home safely.
2. Marriage simply gives you a happier outlook on life. For a rich man being married to a woman offers him stability and support that allows him to continue achieving his goals. A woman is always the rock of a marriage; she is the one who unconditionally loves, supports and brings out the best in her husband. This is something every wealthy man desires to have in his life.
3. Marriage makes a man want to start a family. He wants to settle down and continue his bloodline through his kids. He finds that woman who is strong, loving and caring to make babies with. It is true that you don't need to be married to have kids, but when a person gets married it gives them comfort and stability to start a family.
4. Marriage gives you a more sexual fulfillment than bouncing from bed to bed. A rich man is able to enjoy sex more once he is married as he will learn about every inch of his wife's body. He is able to satisfy in ways that only a husband could. Plus, married men tend to have more sex than single men who are on the brawl looking for a one night stand.
5. Marriage gives a wealthy man more financial stability as he knows the woman he is with is not after his money and he doesn't have to continuously deal with gold diggers. When he is married he is actually saving money from spending it on useless dates and items. His money is better managed and is going to a more important reason.
Being married saves a rich man from all the drama and money hungry women that are only after him for the wrong reasons. All he has to worry about is making his wife happy and he knows he will always come home to a loving and caring woman. If you are a rich man wondering if you shouldn't give her a ring, then read about the Top 5 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Marry Her to make yourself aware.

Solace Church was heavily damaged by smoke and water when fire swept through buildings in downtown Joplin on Tuesday evening. Now the building is in ruins.
The church had rented the structure and now church leaders are considering what to do next. They say they'd like to build or buy a building of their own.
For now, the congregation plans to hold services at God's Resort in Joplin.
"It is sort of like watching your own funeral - people come out from everywhere to tell you that they care about you and support you," says Josh Evans of Solace Church. "This has been the most peaceful disaster we have ever been through as a family. It has been encouraging."
The church has launched a fundraising effort by selling t-shirts that read "We are more than bricks & mortar". To purchase a shirt visit http://solacejoplin.storenvy.com/

Really good! I omitted the garlic and used brown rice instead of yellow. Next time I'll also try substituting a simpler version of the sweet potatoes.
Caribbean Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans
Make this delicious Sweet Potato and Black Bean dish for a dinner with Caribbean flair. The flavor of the hot Italian turkey sausage really goes well with the spices in the dish to give this recipe a well-rounded island flavor.

I was very scared to go on my first helicopter tour, but my Dad convinced me it was something I had to do. After taking off, my fear turned into excitement. Seeing Kauai from above was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend it. We went with www.safarihelicopters.com

When you are there, it is always good to check a calendar of events like this one...
where you can find live hawaiian music, Kauai events, Hawaiian festivals, and Sierra Club hikes.

Recently visited Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Big Island for our 2nd anniv...Kauai was the best..lush and green with the majestic Na Pali coast and Waimea canyon. Zodiac tour (Captain Andy's) was awesome with lots of spinner dolphins along the way and a beach landing on the Na Pali coast. Helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian was very good too.

Second honeymoon first week in January. The highlights for us were Tunnels Beach and hiking on the rim of Waimea Canyon. Shipwreck Beach and Mahalepu coastline trail scored another "ten". Kauai was an outdoor lover's dream in winter. Two guides we depended on: Kauai Trailblazer and Fodor's Kauai, both indepth and much needed for out and about. Lihue for cheap local food. Kapaa Town is where the more affordable accommodations are located.

Just returned from a week in Kauai. The island is beauty distilled, and much of it is concentrated around the lush north shore.
Sunset at Kee beach is overwhelming, and a 3/4 mile hike 45 minutes before sunset along the beginnings of the kalalau trail will enable a transcendental experience.
Avoid: Princeville, unless you enjoy the aesthetic wonders of suburban sprawl.

When on Kauai, you definitely need to hike along the Kalalau Trail along the Na Pali Coast. It is a beautiful, magical hike, although not for anyone afraid of heights! If you are feeling adventurous and have the endurance, kayak the Na Pali Coast with one of the tour groups. It is 17 miles of rocking and rolling ocean that winds through lava tubes and caves, past green sea turtles and spinner dolphins and flying fish. Its an all-day excursion and costly, but the adventure of a lifetime! Kauai is truly an enchanting island to visit! Oh, I also agree that one should stay on the north end of the island. Beautiful, laid back and serene.

Not terribly cheap, but the inner tube ride down the irrigation ditches is really fun with a nice lunch thrown in and a trip through the cane fields. Ocean can be dangerous on the north shore, so swim at a guarded beach (like in Hanalei) or one that is protected by a reef (like Haena at the end of the road. We've been there for the past 20 years and love it. Kayaking is also a cheap thrill, with the only navigatable rivers in the state.

Visit my brother John's shop, Pohaku T's, in Koloa for really nice, locally-made, luau shirts (ca $50)and unique t-shirts (ca. $20)featuring Kuauian petroglyphs and polynesian constellations. John and his wife, Carol, are always happy to chat with visitors and give directions and suggestion for places to visit. See their webpage for a list of their favorite restaurants and places on Kuaui (www.Pohaku.com). 'Old Town' Koloa, once a sugar plantation town, has a historical town center with a lot of nice restaurants and shops--everything from galleries to places to buy postcards and suntan lotion.
My favorite beach on Kuaui is at Salt Pond Park, just west of Hanapepe. It's a nice swimming beach and, being on the south side of the island, is usually sunny.

We island hopped 3 islands earlier this month and Kauai was the least touristy and lushest. For long stretches of less traveled beaches and trails this is the one. Each town had its own personality and the geograhical diversity is mind boggling. Put on your itinerary: Hanalei, the Kalalau Trail, Queens Bath, Anini Beach, Waimea Canyon, Hanapepe, Salt Pond just for starters. Recommend www.trailblazerhawaii.com to explore and preview what to see there. Maui came in second because we had a luxe condo on the bay and Oahu was too crowded.

Tropical, romantic, lush, laid back, the North Shore of Kauai delivers the whole package for us. We rent the same cottage every year and walk the Hanalei Bay beach every morning and it never seems to get old. Suggestions we can share include kayaking the Hanalei River, dayhiking the valleys and beaches with the green Kauai Trailblazer guide, eating at Postcards Cafe and Bubba's Burgers, shopping at Ola's for wood and island glass collectibles and jumping off the Hanalei Pier. To top it off, reserve a helicopter ride over the Kalalau Valley or book a zodiac ride to view it from the ocean. Guaranteed unforgettable.

BUFORD — The newest frozen yogurt shop in Gwinnett is offering a unique brand on a sweet treat.
Swirlz Yogurt Bar, which opened earlier this month near the Mall of Georgia, offers 21 flavors of the popular treat, with dozens of toppings. But unlike many of the new shops, Swirlz is not a franchise.
The slogan "Make your world taste brighter," greets customers when they walk in.
"We believe that every person can come have a great time and great cup of yogurt and for their time with us we can help make their world taste a little brighter," said proprietor Julie Janes, co-owner along with Jennifer Britt. "Thats not all, proceeds from all sales go to support holistic child development in parts East Africa that have been hit by the HIV/Aid epidemic and just as importantly, Swirlz is involved locally with organizations that are making the world taste brighter everyday."
For more information about the shop, located at 2815 Buford Drive, Suite 107 in Buford, go to its website at www.swirlzyogurtbar.com.

Tougaloo, MS-Former Tougaloo College athlete, Joshua Marks, was voted to advance to the finals of Season Three of Fox's MasterChef. Marks, a member of the 2007 GCAC Co-Championship team, will cook for the title of MasterChef on Monday's episode.
Marks, a 2009 graduate of Tougaloo, was a member of the men's basketball team from 2005-2007. At 7'0 tall, no one would look at Marks and thinks he's a cook, but from week to week, Marks has impressed the judges with his delectable dishes that he prepares for them throughout the competition.
Marks advanced to the Top 6 before being eliminated off the show, but was given another chance when the judges decided to let all of the eliminated contestants come back to cook their way back into the competition. Marks would win that challange, and it would take him all the way into the finals of the competition.
The season finale is set to air on Monday, September 10th on Fox, as Marks will battle against the other finalists, Christine. The show is schedueled for 8:00 P.M. We wish Marks the best of luck and congratulate him on his success so far.

Johnny T rotter's Hez Our Secret will run in the $750,000 Champion of Champions for the second straight year after his connections accepted the invitation to participate in the 440-yard race to be held on Saturday, December 14. Hez Our Secret replaces Zia Park Championship winner DM Streakn Through Fire, who earlier this week declined the invitation due to unforeseen circumstances.
"The main reason is that the weather delayed the running of Zia Park Championship," said DM Streakn Through Fire's trainer Mike Joiner, referring to the postponement of the race due to severe inclement weather. The race was moved from Saturday, November 23 to Wednesday, November 27.
"The delay shortened the time between the Zia Park Championship and the Champion of Champions from three weeks to 18 days," Joiner added. "That's not enough time to travel to Los Alamitos and have the horse close to 100 percent ready for the race. We were going to be up against it. I think Hez Our Secret will deliver a great performance in the Champion of Champions and that's what you want in that type of a race. We would have loved to have been a part of it, but we didn't feel like we had enough time."
Hez Our Secret received the invitation thanks to his second place finish in the Z. Wayne Griffin Directors' Trial. The son of First Down Dash won the Z. Wayne Griffin last year and went on to run fourth in the Champion of Champions on the way to earning the title of AQHA champion 3-year-old colt. Trained by Trey Wood, Hez Our Secret finished second to Ochoa in the Robert L. Boniface Los Alamitos Invitational Championship and third to Rylees Boy in the Los Alamitos Winter Championship earlier this season.
"I feel pretty lucky," said Johnny Trotter, the owner of Hez Our Secret. "We get another shot at the Champion of Champions. He's run second to (Ochoa) twice. We were hoping to get another chance in the Champion of Champions, but (Significant Heart) outbroke him in the Z. Wayne Griffin. We are just thankful to be in the Champion of Champions."
Ochoa, the nation's top ranked older horse, is one of the headliners in next Saturday's Champion of Champions. The field will also feature defending Champion of Champions winner Rylees Boy, Last To Fire, Check N Fetch, Matabari, Vodka With Ice, Feature Hero, Priceless Feature and Significant Heart.

The British-owned defense contractor known as Cobham says it is closing its St. Petersburg production facility and moving three-quarters of its 160 employee workforce to other facilities in Davenport, Iowa and Orchard Park, NY.
That shutdown, planned for October, stunned city leaders who are still reeling from the closure of the Midtown Sweetbay Supermarket.
"Ironically, I met with the chamber of commerce president this morning," said St. Petersburg Council Chairman Karl Nurse. "We were talking about how do we proactively grow businesses."
The company's departure means a loss of millions in payroll from the defense contractor. "The problem is not only is it 160 jobs, it's 160 good jobs," said Nurse.
Cobham workers in St. Petersburg produce components for life safety systems that military pilots use to detach parachutes after they eject into the ocean on order to keep them from drowning in their own gear. They also make quick-release restraint systems in Humvees and MRAPS used by soldiers in combat.
Company spokesman Greg Caires said the nation's shrinking defense budget forced his company to consolidate operations as a cost-cutting measure.
"It makes good business sense to move this site," Caires said. "It is with genuine regret that Cobham must take these actions due to present conditions in the global aerospace and defense market."
Congressman Bill Young's chief of staff Harry Glenn said Young learned of the planned closure Wednesday, but wasn't surprised. Glenn said Young predicted months ago that such things would start happening as a result of defense spending cuts.
"This is another indication of what's happening all over the country in national defense matters," Glenn said. "The downstream suppliers are starting to feel the effects."
One worker at the plant who declined to give his name said Cobham informed employees of the October closing early Thursday and allowed assembly line workers to go home and gather their thoughts. The worker said he just moved here two months ago with his wife for a higher paying job at Cobham but decided to rent an apartment instead of buying a home because of the instability of the defense market.
Cobham said it would relocated 120 of its 160 workers and help those who want to stay transition to other employment.
Three years ago Cobham's St. Petersburg facility made headlines for another reason. The production plant was the target of a federal raid by criminal investigators from six different agencies on July 15, 2009 due to allegations the company was using counterfeit parts for its military life safety products.
Agents from every branch of the service along with the FBI and even NASA helped carry away documents and hard drives as part of a federal search warrant served on the premises.
Thursday, Caires said the counterfeit parts investigation lead by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service was ongoing but had nothing to do with the facility's closure. "There's no change in the product portfolio," Caires said.
U.S. Attorney spokeswoman Amy Filjones later said the case had been closed without charges and there would be no further comment on the matter. It's not clear why the company believes the investigation remains open when federal prosecutors say it is not.
Whatever the case, Congressman Young's staff and city leaders now worry that the loss of local 160 defense jobs at Cobham may just be an early warning of more shutdowns as defense cuts begin hitting other local companies that thrive on military spending.
"The good news is the wars are winding down," said Nurse. The bad news is that the defense contractors, which the bay area has lots of them, are going to be winding down as well."

By Eric Timmons, firstname.lastname@example.com
Several Quad-Cities area Senators and Congressmen are calling on President Barack Obama to hit the pause button on any plans to take military action against Syria to allow Congress time to consider what course of action should be taken. The alleged use of chemical weapons by President Bashar al-Assad's regime last week crossed a "red line" set by President Obama, and the White House is now considering taking limited military action against the Syrian government. Syria has been locked in brutal civil war since 2011 that has led to 100,000 deaths, according to the United Nations. Secretary of State John Kerry said this week the Syrian government was responsible for a chemical attack near Damascus last week that killed 1,400 people. U.N. inspectors have yet to complete their investigation. A number of Congressmen in the Quad-Cities region said Friday that President Obama should proceed with caution on Syria and consult Congress before taking any action. "We must exercise extreme caution in undertaking military action," said Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Mount Vernon. "Congress has a constitutional role to play in approving use of military force, and any action must be fully debated and considered." Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, said military action should be a last resort, and Congress should be consulted first. "I'm encouraged that inspection efforts are moving forward and hope that any use of force is a very last resort," Rep. Bustos said. "If the Administration believes that action against Syria is necessary, consultation with Congress before issuing any orders is not only warranted, but lawful." Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Waterloo, has signed a bipartisan letter with other congressmen that "strongly urges" President Obama "to consult and receive authorization from Congress before ordering the use of US military force in Syria." Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said that Congress "hasan important part in reflecting the concerns and views of Americans and should convene to discuss Syria and the role and response of the United States." "I want to know what the goal of the military strike is, how civilian casualties will be avoided, what the strategic plan is and how we will know if the effort was successful," Sen. Grassley said. In an interview with a Chicago radio station, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., raised concerns about the rebels fighting the Assad regime, some of whom are linked to al-Qaeda. "I, for one, want to be careful," Sen Durbin said. "It's a lot easier to get in a war than to get out of one." Speaking at the Rock Island Arsenal on Monday, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., was not as cautious in his call for action against Syria as many of his colleagues. "I would advise a cruise missile attack where no boots are on the ground, and if it's a cruise missile fired by the United States Navy it will hit what it was intended to hit," Sen. Kirk said. The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war. TheWar Powers Resolution of 1973 requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces into military action. It was passed after President Lyndon Johnson went to war in Vietnam without getting a congressional declaration of war. The law forbids the military from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war.

Some of the most well-known Welsh landmarks will shine bright onMonday June 23rd 2014 to mark the support of a nation behind Team Wales.
With a 200-plus team of athletes set to travel to Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games in just a few weeks' time, a number of our most familiar castles and landmarks will dress up in the red of the Welsh team and have a new Team Wales logo projected onto them.
As the sun comes down on another summer's day on Monday 23rd June, Cardiff Castle, Laugharne Castle, Conwy Castle, Caerphilly Castle and Caernarfon Castle will have a one-off show of support as part of the build-up celebrations.
Team Wales
The Wales Millennium Centre (exterior and interior), Norwegian Church and the Roald Dahl Basin in Cardiff will also have a unique light show.
The Team Wales elite brand logo has been developed for use by sports, sport organisations and leisure providers in Wales to signify one team working at the elite and grassroots for Welsh success.
The public are being encouraged to share their pictures of the one-off events using the hastags #poblwc2014 and #GoWales.
"The excitement is building now as we build up to the start of competition in Glasgow," said Sport Wales Chief Executive Sarah Powell.
"With the nation behind Team Wales we know our athletes will take encouragement and give their all for the Welsh jersey.
"This is another way we can show that, across our country, we are all standing together in our support."

Boardman getting new, bigger fire truck
A new ladder truck for the fire department should arrive by the middle of next month, the fire chief says. Fire Chief George Brown said the Quint Fire Truck with 100-foot ladder — 10 feet longer than the 21-year-old ladder truck being replaced — was originally going to be a demonstration truck for the truck company, but was able to be adapted to Boardman's specifications.
Trustees approved purchasing the truck last week at a cost of $917,750 and township Administrator Jason Loree said the fiscal office is still determining if the township will buy the truck outright or work out a financing agreement.
"With our estate taxes, we could buy it outright," Loree said.
The township has received $1.9 million in estate taxes, more than double the usual $600,000 to $700,000 it receives, Loree said. The estate tax, however, will no longer be collected beginning next year because of changes to state law.
Brown said the truck's purchase was part of the township's 2016 plan.
"It was an opportunity the board saw and we're grateful that they took it," Brown said.
Wow over 900 grand, didnt realize Boardman had any buildings over 100 ft. tall.
Good thing we passed a Police levy......Seriously these Trustees apparently are as as bad as the previous board with thier fiscal mismanagement. If you are no longer going to receive estate taxes it might be smart to save that money for something that is needed, not another fire truck.
Boardman has thrown down the gauntlet. Austintown will be forced to respond. First "the space race," then "the arms race" -- now we'll have the "my truck's bigger than yours race."
$917,750 "That's a lot of money man"
Bucket brigade, that's funny. How would they run to all the minor accidents and cuts/scrapes without a shiny new truck??
But seriously, those large buildings have fire suppression systems that would take care of things before the BFD could drop their nintendo contollers.....Those newer buildings are built to code (which is much stricter today than in the past). The BFD inspects them regularly I would assume since we have so many BFD personnel assigned to "Fire Prevention" right? If the buildings are inspected and the fire suppression systems are all in good order then that changes things.
It's not that they don't have a need for this truck. My point is that Boardman was allegedly broke this time last year....The trustees paraded the poilcemen around and scared everyone on their backs and now buy a million dollar fire truck.If the situation was as dire as was alleged, then prudence would dictate a little savings here instead of this million dollar status symbol.
I love reading the comment sections on these articles. People are so funny when they comment on something that they have no idea WTH they are talking about. So, no tall buildings...just because it is not in height does not mean you don't need a ladder truck. Apartments, shopping plaza's, industrial bldgs, the mall, and the list goes on for huge bldg. Yes almost a million dollars is a lot of money, but the last ladder truck the twp. got 21 years of service out of. So you people that comment on how city/twp services are run or how safety services do their jobs, keep posting. I love to laugh at you nonsence. Nintendo controllers...hahaha. Not one clue.
I guess none of the posters here have been to the St. E's hospital. I think that bldg., which is going to have an additional wing in the next few years, is somewhat large.
As a resident of Boardman Township, and as someone who grew up in a family of firefighters, I dont think that it is completely ridiculous that Boardman is looking to purchase this truck. What I think IS completely ridiculous is how they handle some of their day-to-day operations. For instance...do we really need to have six firefighters in a firetruck that sucks $4.50 per gallon diesel fuel running around town to go to the grocery store? I know, I know...the excuse is that "we all have to be together with the truck incase something happens!". Well, here is a novel idea...how about one guy goes in the Suburban that the fire department owns and gets the groceries. IF there is an emergency...he can drive to the emergency! Seems logical right? Also, this first responder stuff is total BS. Nine times out of ten, the ambulance gets there before the fire truck ANYWAY! Be done with all this wasting of diesel fuel and man hours and start an ambulance service within the township and begin charging the same rates that the current privately owned ambulance services charge. Either that, or make the police the first responders, their cars are much lighter, easier on gas, and much less dangerous when they are flying around town like bats out of hell for a guy who twisted his ankle. When the number of actual structure fires per year within the township can be counted on one hand, it does seem a little bit much to be purchasing a truck of this size, but hey...who are we taxpayers who continue to see our paychecks dwindle to tell you trustees who make $20,000 per year on top of your regular employment to attend one or two meetings a month, what to do. Obviously, you have it all figured out!
It's what Boardman does. They are like a kid with a nickel burning a hole in his pocket, except that they are holding more than a nickel. They never want to save it for a rainy day. So they buy a new truck that the township doesn't need. Then they'll whine about the old fire station needing repairs or replaced. They waste money better than any government entity around. CALEA certification, (now gone) the substation on Market, (now gone) the IT coordinator, (now gone) cars for everyone. The list is almost endless.
I guess spending it on an unneeded truck is better than giving it to the employees and building in an even higher wage structure than they already have.
With the new recent levy passage, is crime now completely eradicated? How about cops on bicycles patrolling the areas where crime is actually happening and even riding in the neighborhoods occassionally?
Agreed 100%, save the estate tax money for something more important! The FD needs to use their SUV's for medical calls, not ladder trucks.
Last year's "Police Levy" turned out to be another shell game, business as usual here in this township. The levy money went to the police dept, and then the trustees pulled general fund money out of the PD to give to the Fire and Road depts. As for the fire truck, someone is likely getting a nice free vacation from the manufacturer. Keep your eye out for anyone taking a cruise or going to Disney! To the officers in Boardman, I bet this stings considering the pay raise freeze they've been enduring for how long now? The township isn't broke, they just don't know how to properly spend money, or how to say no to department heads. Sadly, this little stunt will likely upset voters, which is perfect timing considering they have a huge school levy on the ballot in Nov. Good luck with that one.

It's almost here, Jet fans. AC's best chance at a state-title ever continues on Saturday with a visit to North Judson. If you've got no plans for the weekend and you're looking for a basketball game to watch, you might as well get over to the regionals because Adams County has not had a team this good since Arnold, Richie, and Schultz donned Braves uniforms at the same time.

Uh oh, lock the doors. Pull the curtains. Turn out the lights and turn off the TV. Hide the women and children. Here comes a Girl Scout up the sidewalk!
She'll probably want to sell us those cookies, and she'll give her nose a tweak with the thumb — you know, mobster style — and say, "You don't have to buy buddy, but..."

It's always a pleasure to find a movie that you thought would be terrible and be proven wrong. After the disaster that was GULLIVER'S TRAVELS I was certain that THE BIG YEAR starring Jack Black would be another travesty of film with him mugging for the camera the same way he always does. Instead I found a delightful film that I know I could watch again and enjoy.

Sectional basketball is here at last. Firstly though, Bellmont deserves all the props in the world for continually year-in and year-out dominating the wrestling world in Indiana. Even after 25+ years of Bellmont heroics, the big schools like Perry Meridian still look over their shoulders and worry about when they'll have to face the scrappy Braves.

Mike Snyder may have been a last-minute filer as a candidate for Indiana's 79th House district seat, but the decision to make his first foray into the world of elected politics was not a rush to judgement. In fact, it was a decision that was some 25 years in the making.
Snyder, a Democrat, filed the necessary paperwork with the Indiana Secretary of State's office on Feb. 9 to launch his candidacy for the House seat currently held by Berne Republican Matt Lehman.

Hey, let's chalk one up for the city guys!
Jeremy Gilbert and Verlin Butcher start discussing the IDEM sewer mandate and how much it's likely to cost the city, including the usual steep engineering fees, and — BINGO! — they come up with a plan which is destined to save the City of
Decatur some big-time bucks.

It's hard to believe that it's actually been 25 years since PHANTOM OF THE OPERA the musical was first performed. It remains fresh for the thousands who see it performed to this day. I was fortunate enough to see it performed live in both Chicago and Cleveland and it still gives me chills to think of the opening.

Ten minutes after Bellmont was eliminated from the 17th and last (for now) IHSAA Team State Wrestling Finals Saturday, there they were, standing toe to toe, the IHSAA Commissioner Bobby Cox and Bellmont wrestlng coach Brent Faurote. They weren't exchanging pleasantries.
