Man to stand trial in barbershop shooting
UPDATED 3:52 PM CST Dec 07, 2012
A man charged in a barbershop shooting death will stand trial.
Jeremy Pierce, 21, waived his preliminary hearing Friday morning but entered a not guilty plea.
He remains jailed on $75,000 bond.
Prosecutors said Pierce and Clemon Ferguson, 18, were holding up the barbershop last month, when a customer shot and killed Ferguson.
Pierce is charged with felony murder because, according to prosecutors, the death happened while he was committing a crime.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 19.

"I told my brother, 'This is it. I'm gonna take my family outta this,' " he tells PEOPLE. "I didn't know what it was going to be or how I was going to do it, but that's what I told him. He just laughed and told me to go to sleep."
Three decades later, Driver, 37, is a star wide receiver who played in a Super Bowl for the Green Bay Packers and now competes as a finalist on Dancing with the Stars. He's written children books and has his own foundation.
How did he turn it around?
Driver credits two people: First, his mother Faye Gray, who raised him and his siblings mostly on her own.
"I think my strength was what my mother told me a long time ago," he says. "Only two things can happen to you if you're doing it the wrong way. Either you can end up dead or you can end up in jail."
Courtesy Donald Driver
A Source of Strength"At that time in college, I was still selling drugs and I asked my wife to put a package away for me in her room and hide it while they did a search in the dormitories," he says. "And she simply said, 'No. God is testing you and if you want to be with me, then you have to stop this now.' "
"That time in college I knew I had a great athletic ability," he adds, "but that was easy money. But she completely changed my life."
They've now been together for 14 years – married for 12 – with three kids of their own, and Tina remains a strong guiding force.
Even as he performs sexy dances with his beautiful pro partner Peta Murgatroyd, Driver expects to get advice – not jealousy – from Tina.
"She's my biggest critic," he says. "She'll tell me in a heartbeat, 'Baby, that doesn't look sexy enough. You need to hold Peta this way, with this expression on your face.' "
And if Driver has learned anything, it's to be a good listener.
"As a man, you never want to embarrass your wife," he says. "You don't want to have an expression on her face on national TV like she's ticked-off at her husband. For me at the end of the day I like to see her happy because I danced so well for her."

The actor, 52, hates to be in pain and watching people embarrass themselves, and chatted with PEOPLE this week about "one last thing" ...
Last injury
I've got a frozen shoulder right now. I'm on painkillers, muscle relaxants and just had a steroid injection, which was dreadful. If the doctor said I screamed and cried like a baby, he's a liar.
Last time I cringed
Watching someone on a reality show flirting, being pretentious or needy. It's too much; I try and run away but my girlfriend [Jane Fallon] holds me down and makes me watch.
I last danced ...
In 1985. No, for the Muppets movie. I do a proper song and dance routine. I feel sorry for the people who have to watch and get as embarrassed as I do watching someone embarrass themselves.
Last gift I gave
I got a friend these amazing Bose headphones, they're like magic. I'm in awe of technology. I know, you want to hear something like I sent George Clooney a muffin basket ...

PVD coating is a vacuum deposition process that has received increasing use in recent years and is no longer seen as a laboratory process. It has been scaled up to handle large complex part geometries at an affordable cost. Many companies have realized benefits from converting their product from electroplating to PVD coating. Coatings can be deposited from room temperature to as high as 500 degrees Celsius depending on the substrate and the application. The PVD process provides a more uniform deposit, improved adhesion up to six times greater in some cases, wider choice of materials to be deposited and there are no harmful chemicals to dispose of. Due to the nature of the processing, some inclusions (air bubbles and/or fish eyes) may appear on each wheel in the clear coat. These inclusions are normal. Inclusions are not considered to be a defect and do not effect the longevity of the chrome finish. Because PVD coating is more environmentally friendly and chemical disposal costs are minimal, the cost of PVD coating and electroplating is very close on some products.

A Customer-Partner Advisory Board at WFO Memphis
Jim Duke, MIC
A professional forum for critical review of products and services has been established by WFO Memphis. The mission of the board is to form a process for continual review and improvement of services provided by the National Weather Service for the Memphis county warning area.
The advisory board consists of 10 to 14 members representing a variety of business, professional, and government groups. Because membership is diverse, a wide array of customer interests and partner needs are represented. The advisory board provides NWS Memphis with a unique access to reliable, consistent feedback from individuals and groups who have a vested interest in improved forecasts and services. The advisory board helps evaluate NWS services with an eye toward spotting areas of weakness and offering recommendations for improvement.
Members serve a 24-month term on the advisory board, however, half the members who make up the initial membership will serve only a one year term. Each year thereafter replacement members for half of the Board will be recruited in a joint NWS-Advisory Board effort. Therefore, half the membership will always be new nominees, while the other half will have a full year of experience. This will ensure experienced membership on future boards.
The Advisory Board will generally consist of representation from the following areas:
Emergency Management (from throughout the Memphis service area)
News media (print, radio, and television)
Minority population
Public utilities
Other endeavors significantly affected by weather
Advisory Board Leadership
The Advisory Board will be led by a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson, both of whom will serve for one-year term. The NWS will initially appoint persons to fill those roles for the first year on the initial Advisory Board. Subsequent chairperson will be selected by the Board
members acting in collaboration with the NWS.
Duties of the Chairperson
The Chairperson will be the primary liaison between the NWS and members of the Advisory Board. The Chair will initiate board action to discuss issues with the NWS. The Chair will normally communicate with Board members via e-mail or via conference call. The frequency and agenda of conference calls will be determined by the Chair in collaboration with the NWS. The Chair will also help organize the semi-annual Board meetings with the NWS.
Duties of the Vice-Chairperson
The Vice-Chairperson will assist in functions of the Chairperson. The Vice-Chairperson will serve as Chair in the absence of the Chairperson.
Functions of the Advisory Board Members
Members are expected to review NWS products and services regularly (e.g., two or three times per week). Board members will provide feedback to the chairman or to the NWS whenever they identify problems with NWS services/products, or when their advice is solicited. Board members should seek to help identify any problems with NWS products and service. The NWS will also look to Board members to help initiate new ideas for products and services. The board is expected to meet semi-annually. The main mode of communication throughout the year will likely be email, but conference telephone calls may be conducted occasionally.
Responsibility of WFO Memphis
The NWS Meteorologist in Charge will annually designate one NWS employee to serve as a focus for Advisory Board activities. That employee will be the primary NWS contact for Board members, and will help organize Board meetings. Additionally, the NWS representative will provide the Board with a semi-annual report on NWS actions taken in response to Board suggestions and critiques. The purpose for this report is to provide accountability to the advisory board.
The Board's initial or kick-off meeting didn't make earth-shattering contributions, but questions and comments from Board members have resulted in changes to the Memphis web page; caused WFO Memphis to look at making changes to the SFD and to the ZFP issuance time. Additionally, plans for a graphical hazardous weather outlook were warmly greeted, while the board spotted a couple of minor flaws in our original concept.
Before undertaking this effort we were concerned that recruiting Board members would be difficult. Our concerns were unfounded. No one declined membership; they were all
eager to participate and were appreciative of our intent. Recruiting members turned out to be both rewarding and gratifying. Prospective members universally were glad to be asked, and were happy to see us demonstrate interest in their needs and concerns. The staff at WFO Memphis is convinced the Advisory Board can be a force for real positive change, and we look forward to putting in the kind of work needed to ensure success.

All roads needn't lead to the Colosseum when you have some free time to explore Rome. Bypass the tourist lines by sampling the city with one of these diversions.
If you have an hour-plus: Tell your colleagues that you're off to see a few of the great masters and then head to Il Discount dell'Alta Moda (16A Via Gesu e Maria near the Spanish Steps; phone: +39 6 361 3796) to browse for Prada, Gucci and Roberto Cavalli at 50% off. This fashion warehouse sells past-seasons collections, overstock and irregulars, so examine carefully. During sales, you can snag savings of up to 70%. For a selection from Versace and Alberta Ferretti, walk about 15 minutes to its sister store, Il Discount delle Firme (27 Via dei Serviti, Barberini; phone: +39 6 482 7790).
If you have three hours: The Eternal City can be impossible to grasp as an entity, so you should parcel off your mini expeditions according to your interests. Anxious to see Renaissance architecture or explore the Jewish catacombs? Context Travel — a nifty concierge service with dozens of scholars and experts — specializes in two- and three-hour walking tours that quickly get to the heart of the matter. Offerings include a seminar on Caravaggio led by an art historian and a tour of Fascist-era architecture with a Harvard-trained architect and Fulbright scholar. You can even customize a three-hour walk, tailored to your cultural interests. Tours start at E35 ($51) (contexttravel.com).
If you have a half-day: Just 15 miles southeast of Rome, Frascati was once like Malibu, attracting papal potentates who built summer villas there. The sloping hills and views sold them on this small village in the Lazio region. You can tour the spectacular 16th-century Villa Aldobrandini (villa-aldobrandini.it) with its gardens, art by the Zuccari brothers and baroque fountains.
After touring the estate, lunch like a local. Head to the Piazza del Mercato in the center of town and browse the shops and stalls selling the local specialty of porchetta (roasted pork) as well as cheese, salami, bread and olives. Natives swear by the fare sold at Leda, Le Regina della Porchetta, aka Queen of the Pork. Now, cart those gastronomical supplies to one of the nearby cantines or wine bars that offer tables, napkins and the local floral white, Frascati. If you're not game for a D.I.Y. meal, visit Cacciani (cacciani.it; 13 Via Armando Diaz; phone: +39 6 940 1991) and try the simple spaghetti with sheep's milk cheese and black pepper or the fettuccine beneath a ragu of chicken livers, gizzards and cockscombs.
If you have a full day: Don't just return home with a bottle of virgin olive oil and vague culinary aspirations. Visit Diane Seed's Roman Kitchen (112 Via del Plebiscito; italiangourmet.com), voted one of the top 10 cooking schools in Italy by Food & Wine. Her one-day class begins with a trip to the central market, Campo dei Fiori, to buy the necessities for an afternoon of rustic cooking. No fussy preparations here: Seed specializes in traditional Roman fare like asparagus risotto, fried pumpkin flowers stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies and taglioni with smoked salmon and cream. Classes — which take place in her home, the Doria Pamphili Palace — start at $292 per day.
Oenophiles can opt for the Private Label course at the Intl. Wine Academy of Rome (8 Vicolo del Bottino; phone: +39 6 699 0878) for two hours of wine tasting followed by two hours with a wine producer to learn how to run an estate, and then more tastings. A four-course dinner follows at the adjacent Aroma del Palazzetto ($438; wineacademyroma.com).

Sifting the Evidence: SciLogs! "Beginnings":Why blog?
Welcome to Sifting the Evidence, in our new home! Here's a post I wrote for Soapbox Science's "Beginnings" series about why blogging is great and tips for getting started. You can find the original post here.
This week sees the launch of SciLogs.com, a new English language science blog network. SciLogs.com forms part of the SciLogs international collection of blogs which already exist in German, Spanish and Dutch. SciLogs.com is the brand-new home for the Nature Network bloggers and to celebrate this addition to the NPG science blogging family, we're publishing a cross-network series of posts focusing on "Beginnings".
Participating in this blogging festival is nature.com's Soapbox Science blog, Scitable's Student Voices blog and bloggers from SciLogs.com, SciLogs.de, Scitable and Scientific American's Blog Network. Join us as we explore the diverse interpretations of beginnings – from scientific examples such as stem cells to first time experiences such as publishing your first paper. You can also follow and contribute to the conversations on social media by using the #BeginScights hashtag.
I've always enjoyed journalism and writing; at school I edited the school mag one year, and I was a music journalist for Pi, UCL's magazine while studying there, despite being a scientist at heart. Once I left Uni though, the opportunities for writing somewhat disappeared. I started working as a Research Assistant in Bristol, and the thought of journalism left me somewhat. But when I started my PhD, I realised I wanted science communication to be a big part of my studies. My topic of research (cannabis and mental health outcomes) is likely to generate some media interest, so I wanted to be as good as possible at explaining my science. But it was taking part in I'm a Scientist Get Me Out of Here that really showed me the value of science outreach. The scheme involved a lot of science writing, as all questions are answered in text form, but I was speaking to teenagers, so a completely different scientific language was required.
Following on from my experiences with that, I knew I wanted to start writing. But being a PhD student, my time is pretty stretched (not to mention I played in 3 bands, and had various other hobbies too!), so I wasn't sure of what to do. So, when a friend approached me to suggest we started a blog together, I jumped at the chance. Thus 'Sifting the Evidence' was born; named after a great paper by colleagues in our department.
5 reasons why blogging is great!
1 – First and foremost I would say a blog is awesome because it's two way communication. I started the blog because I wanted to improve my science writing, and practise is good, but constructive criticism is even better! If something is unclear, your audience can tell you, or if you've missed something important out, the conversation can carry on. I love it! The comments section is the favourite part of my blog.
2 – You're the boss. No deadlines, no prescribed topics; you can write about what interests you, when it interests you. And it doesn't stop you taking on other forms of writing; a lot of my blog posts have also appeared in Epigram, Bristol University's newspaper, after the science editor saw the blog and liked it!
3 – Immediacy. No waiting for approval from a higher power. Similar to above, as you're writing entirely for yourself, you can respond immediately to events in the world, and write timely and topical posts. Recently, when the Government announced plans to make all government funded research open access within two years, bloggers could respond much faster to the news than newspapers could.
4 – You can be controversial. No editor means no softening your polemic for house style. Although this should come with a warning. Get your facts straight. For me, when I wrote an article about plain packaging of cigarettes I wanted to be sure what I was saying was correct, as I know there's a lot of people who disagree and cry 'Nanny State' at the tops of their lungs. So I sent the blog to a few people I knew in the field to fact check it for me. As it turns out, it did attract some 'undesirable' attention, but as they couldn't really pick holes in my argument, they picked holes in me instead. Personally, I found it funny, but a thick skin is quite essential if you're going to stand up against the bullies. I'm happy to talk more about this if people want advice.
5 – Don't be disheartened. It can take a while to find your niche, and to find your audience, so don't stare at your early blog stats and feel like giving up. Check out my top tips below for advice about how to get started!
5 tips for newbie bloggers!
1 – Join twitter. The science communication community were really early adopters of twitter, and there's a really lively community of bloggers, and those interested in reading blogs on twitter. I've made some great new friends and found out stuff about 'real life' friends on there, as well as getting the blog to people who want to read it and can help improve it.
2 – If you don't think you'll have time to write that often, team up. Sifting the evidence was perfect as there were 3 of us writing. This meant we could have posts appearing once a week, but only need to write them roughly once a month. Also we could cover a wider variety of topics as we had a larger knowledge base to work from. This has backfired slightly on me now as Dylan and Neil are both writing up their PhDs at the moment, so a little busy…
3 – Similarly, join a network if you can. We started Sifting the Evidence on blogspot, which was a great platform, but it was very much out on its own. Joining Nature Network meant so much more passing trade, and so much more discussion from the blogs. Indeed, I've even written posts relating to other posts on the site – there's a great community vibe.
4 – Write about what interests you. It's common sense, but you'll write more a more engaging and interesting piece if you're engaged and interested in what you're writing. Unless of course you want to practise 'faking it', in which case, go ahead, you're the boss!
5 – Get your blog out there, but don't take the mickey. There's nothing wrong with tweeting your link, and putting it on facebook. How else will people find it? The same is true with asking for advice and support from seasoned bloggers, but if the advice is already out there in plain sight, it can be a little annoying to get the same question over and over again (incidentally, I'm nowhere near the stage where I get questions about my blogging, so I'd be delighted to be pestered, but read Ed Yong here as to why you need to think a little about the advice you want before asking for it).
Anyway, in a way I think blogging is quite a personal pastime, so plenty of people may disagree with my tips, and are likely to have other reasons for why they started blogging, so please share – that's what the comments section is for.

A state hearing officer has found that Temple University engaged in an unfair labor practice by denying back pay to professors who made up teaching time lost during last fall's 29-day faculty strike.
In a Nov. 7, ruling made public yesterday, Donald Wallace, a hearing examiner for the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, also ordered Temple to pay the professors a portion of their salaries equal to the amount of teaching time they made up.
The faculty union estimates the amount to be about 66 percent of strikers' salaries for the time they were on strike, while the administration puts the figure around 60 percent.

Austrian economists are not conservatives. Unless you mean 2 Nobel prize winning economists are jokes. Not to mention the Austrian economist that shattered the idea of Marx, Ricardo, and yes, even Adam Smith that things are only as valuable as what it costs to make them. Why not try reading Mises and especially Hayek before quoting ironic, I'll informed websites? You also haven't really addressed my points.

TUPELO – Nearly two years ago, Cory Brown had to make the transition from being a civilian to a combat solider when he was deployed to serve in Iraq.
In March he had to learn to be a civilian again, but thanks to the Mississippi National Guard's Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, leaving home and coming back was made easier.
Brown, along with other soldiers from the 155th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, attended the first of three Yellow Ribbon events at the BancorpSouth Arena Saturday. Others will be held in Jackson, on the Coast and in Desoto County.
The Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program helps to transition deployed soldiers back into a civilian role as they return to family, work, school and community life.
Brown, a Pontotoc resident, became a father while he was deployed in Iraq. He said a lot of things at home changed during his deployment and programs like the one held Saturday helped him, his family and other soldiers and their families deal with the changes.
"The programs Yellow Ribbon provides for us help a lot," said Brown. "Military life is so much different from civilian life and it's not an easy transition for some soldiers. Many of us need help to adjust and this program provides that help."
Benefits for families
The families of the soldiers also benefit from the program, according to 1st. Sgt. Teddy Hadaway of Amory.
"To me it's more about the families than the soldiers," said Hadaway. "It actually is a big help in helping us reintegrate with our families. It helps them to understand what we do and what we've gone through during our deployment and having that knowledge does everyone a world of good."
Maj. Joe Hardman is state program director for Yellow Ribbon.
"Use to, when you make it back home from a deployment you'd get three months off and just go back to work," said Hardman. "But the way we do it now with Yellow Ribbon is better for the soldiers and their families. Now we are able to provide information and help to these soldiers for various things they might need help with.
"We have workshops here today talking about everything from suicide prevention to how to apply for certain benefits. Everything here today is to make the lives of these men, women and their families easier."
More than 1,000 soldiers and their families attended the Yellow Ribbon Program. Hardman said reuniting with other soldiers is another bonus.
"These soldiers have been gone for nearly two years," he said. "When they get back to their civilian jobs their co-workers are talking about things they don't know about. So when they get a chance to spend time with one another, they often feel more comfortable because these guys can relate to them and what they've gone through."
Rashaun Trice of Tupelo said getting to see some of the men he served with again made attending the event worthwhile.
"It's great that they help us with important information that we can use to make our transition easier," said Trice. "But I'm just glad to be here with the guys and catching up on old times. Seeing the people you serve with is always a big help with making the transition."

Work at home Job Scam Report
Hello All
Thos who are members of yahoo groups get mails like ad typing jobs or work at home oppurtunity but beware that these jobs involve more cost than they pay you.
I am member of hotjobseeker.com and have worked for them for more than 3 months following all the guidelines and they didnt even payme $0.01 and have wasted all the money I invested in making an account.
I tried complaining for whom they own a certificate but that also in vein.

It's a Boob… Not a Bear Trap!Danielle
I read a post yesterday written by one of my colleagues on Being Pregnant and it made me stop and think about the trapped stigma surrounding breastfeeding, and why so many people are turned off because they think choosing to breastfeed their child will essentially trap them.
We know, as mothers we need time to ourselves. Whether it is a movie with our husband, vegging out at Starbucks to do some work by ourselves without the ciaos of home interrupting, or a girls night out. There is no need to feel bad about going out without your children! IT IS HEALTHY!
But being a breastfeeding mother does not mean you will never leave the house again, or always have a baby with out because you are their main meal source. Nor should you put that big of a burden on yourself, because again… it simply just isn't healthy! We all need help, and a break. We are not super woman, and if you try to do it all you are only going to end up resentful! Believe me, I have been there!
Of course we love out children, and love being with them, but there is nothing wrong admitting you need a break sometimes. You are human, and you did have a social life before you had your children. If you can remember!
Anyway… back to my point.
You don't need to feel trapped by breastfeeding, and you shouldn't feel trapped because you made the choice to breastfeed. There are so many options out there that enable you to leave your baby for a period of time, and still continue to have that little one enjoy the great benefits of breast milk!
With my oldest son, I tried desperately to pump a hand full of times via instructions from my lactation consultant to see exactly why my son wasn't gaining much weight although he was feeding constantly. It turns out he was getting too much foremilk, and not enough of the hind milk, but that is totally besides the point.
Pumps are your friend! Whether you get an ounce in a pumping session, of 5 ounces. Every drop makes a difference, and storing it helps to break the stereotype of being forever trapped with your breastfeeding baby, and get out for a little bit.
I have also found through pumping with various different kinds of pumps that the most effective for pumping, unfortunately seem to cost the most. But if you aren't going to need a ton of milk pumped, a simple hand pump… or even hand expressing milk will work. What ever truly works best for you!
Have you felt trapped by breastfeeding?

J.Love Has a Baby Girl AND Secretly Got Married!Sarah Bernard
Just in time for Thanksgiving, the actress welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Autumn James.
Her rep also dropped another bombshell when confirming the good news by saying, "Jennifer Love Hewitt and her husband Brian Hallisay…" The couple secretly married!
How cool is that?
Especially in contrast to folks like Kim and Kanye who can't face any milestone without the cameras rolling. I think making their wedding private was a classy choice.
We all know that Jennifer's road to love and marriage was not a smooth one. And she had some rough years there with the tabloids scrutinizing her weight. Remember those mean pictures of her in a bathing suit?
She won that battle in my opinion and changed the conversation by speaking out about body image — not easy to do in Hollywood.
Maybe because of all that I could see J.Love wanting to make a big show of getting married, if only to announce to the world, "See, I'm HAPPY!"
But her choice to keep it private gets the message out just as loud and clear.
Jennifer and Brian co-stared in The Client List which was recently cancelled by Lifetime. But how's this for cute? They met for the first time years ago on an NBC series aptly titled, Love Bites.

Soccer Team Plays Host to Haiti Saturday at 3 p.m.
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State soccer team is set to host the Haiti Women's National Team for a 3 p.m. contest Saturday at the Briner Sports Complex.
Admission is free for the game, which is part of the Cardinals' spring schedule. Ball State owns a 2-0-2 record so far this spring.
Haiti is one of the top national teams in the Caribbean region. The team is coached by Shek Borkowski, who also coaches the FC Indiana women's professional team based out of Indianapolis.
"This is an excellent opportunity for our program and community to be exposed to soccer at the national level, and we are looking forward to hosting Haiti at the Briner Sports Complex," Ball State coach Craig Roberts said.
"It will be a fantastic student-athlete experience competing against players at the pinnacle of their nation. They have a major degree of experience which will challenge us, but we are embracing the exciting opportunity."
Haiti is spending some time competing in the United States and most recently played an international friendly Wednesday against the Mexico Under-20 National Team in South Bend, Ind. The Mexican team won that game 1-0.

A Raymore couple is warning of a phone scam that cost them $2,000.
Dennis Barnhart said a man called Tuesday afternoon, identifying himself as his grandson, telling him that a friend had gotten him into trouble and he was in the city jail.
To help their grandson out, Barnhart and his wife, Irene, were told to go to Walmart and wire money, which they did.
But when they got home and the scammers called back asking for more money, the Barnharts said they were suspicious.
They quickly learned their real grandson wasn't in any trouble, and they had been scammed.
Police told the couple it is a worldwide scam.
They're telling their story hoping other vulnerable people won't fall for the same ruse.

Decided to start a journal to help me with accountability and get feedback from the PB forum. I started Paleo in April and found MDA in September. Have not been consistent though. I get aggravated and say to hell with it all and eat grains and sugar then feel like crap and start it again. I went to a holistic health center for nutrition muscle testing this week. Mainly due to digestive problems and can't poop problems. Was told I have a nervous system block due to grains and scored 0/10 on colon, thyroid and kidneys. Colon responded to sugar. So no sugar or grains for the next 90 days. Hell if I can go 90 days I should be able to lick it. It isn't cheap so motivated to follow it. Have orthstatic hypotension and no energy reserve right now. Smallest amount of stress that causes that fight or flight wears me out. I don't like feeling like this. USed to having a lot of energy and being able to run jump lift whenever. Part of me wonders why I need this dr to tell me what I already knew - I don't do well with grains, dairy or sugar - but it confirms things for me and it made me realize it is not just my gut affected by the frickin grains but my whole system. for my record I'm at 124#, 15%bodyfat according to their scale. Started training for a marathon - on my bucket list - want to do this once and starting a masters program so need my energy back!
Well Day 4 with no sugar (grains or chocolate)! Have a slight headache off and on. Late breakfast was eggs, asparagus, tomatoe and onion, and a persimmon. About 2p I had a half of an apple and small amount of cheese. Dinner was tilapia, crabcake, with parmesam sauce and broccoli and a salad. Blacberries for dessert.

The 5 Biggest Benefits of Growing Up Fat
#2. It Deflected Attention from Bigger Problems
Let's talk about teasing for a moment. No matter how young or old you may be, teasing happens. Kids tease other kids, adults tease other adults, particularly dickish adults like myself tease Will Smith's kids ... it's a vicious cycle. But it happens, so by all means, don't entertain the thought of feeling sorry for me because I was teased about being overweight.
I mean, I totally was, but kids of all shapes and sizes got teased for all sorts of things at my school. But the thing about people who aren't very funny (like douchebag bullies, for example) is that, when they absolutely must come up with something humorous to say, it's going to be the most obvious joke imaginable, if they're even capable of telling jokes at all. So when the bullies and jokesters turned their attention to me, they'd just call me fat or whatever other variation on the joke you can think of and move on to the next target. In other words, I always knew what was coming.
And that was a great! Because believe me, there was plenty of other shit going on in my grade school and high school years that could have been mined for comedic effect. My family was absurdly poor, I have this weird winter allergy thing that makes me sniffle like I'm crying nonstop for like half the year, I went through a ridiculous phase where I wore nothing but sweatsuits to school, I have the kind of eyesight that requires me to wear nerdlinger Coke-bottle glasses whenever I don't have contact lenses in my head ... the list goes on and on. But none of those things were even mentioned, because "Ha! You're fat!" was the easiest joke to make.
There's a reason why fat humor is so popular on the Internet, and it's not because the Web is overflowing with creative geniuses. And that brings us to the very best thing that being fat did for me ...
#1. It Made Me Funny
Now, I accept that some of you reading this maybe think I'm not funny. That's cool, I respect your opinion. It's completely incorrect and we can have a goddamn comedy-off in the parking lot if you want to settle this shit like an old-time duel. But still, you're entitled to be laughably incorrect just like anyone else.
And now that we have that disclaimer out of the way, let's move on to the real point... being a perpetually teased fat kid made me funny. It's pretty simple, really. I had a limited number of choices when faced with constant put-downs and unoriginal wisecracks about my weight. I could cry, I could fight or I could tell a teacher. Unfortunately, I only cry during sex, I'm too slow to fight and snitches dig ditches, so I had to come up with a fourth option. And that, of course, was to make jokes right back.
But whatever could I say? It's not like my fellow fat kids were calling me fat, so I couldn't just make a lame fat joke in return. No, I had to get creative with it. I had to dig deep. Maybe I'd focus on the lazy eye that you thought your bullshit status as captain of the varsity swimming team somehow obscured. Perhaps I'd point out that, rumor had it, your mother turned into a huge slut after your dad (understandably) ran off with another woman. If a crowd of people was listening, maybe I'd claim that you gave a cousin of mine crabs. Whatever it took, I made sure I always had something to come back with when someone teased me about my weight. All those years of fighting fat jokes with "Well at least MY dad doesn't beat MY mom" jokes amounted to some of the best comedy writing practice a person could possibly hope for. I learned not only how to avoid always making the obvious joke, but also how to come up with jokes even when there wasn't anything obviously funny to talk about. And now, jokes pay my bills.
So, thank God I grew up fat. If I didn't, I'd probably be working at a gas station right now, just like all those fucking jocks and other assorted douchebags who took such delight in teasing me as a kid.

Hey there,
I'm Melanie and in my real life I'm an IT specialist, mother of three and a semi-successful housewife.
In my secret second life I design knitwear.
I live with my husband and three children in Bonn, Germany, where I spend my time combining colors, shapes and textures into freewheeling designs that are uniquely my own. I've been published by yarn companies and knitting magazines large and small, and I've also self-published my own patterns and e-books. I love collaborating with creative types from all over the world.
If you like to contact me, you can email me at melanie (at) mairlynd (dot) de.
As temperates slowly start dropping, the time for cozy and soft handknits has finally come!
So, time to get prepared, no?
After the Frost Beret is part of a matching set, along with the After the Frost Mitts, and two skeins of Knit Picks Gloss Fingering are just enough to make them both.
The mitts are worked from the wrist outwards into both directions, using a provisional cast on. A simple cable pattern covers the underarm and a picot bind-off at both ends sets a lovely accent.
The same cable pattern is used for the brim of the hat. Again, it(tm)s a provisional cast-on, and both ends of the brim are grafted together with the kitchener stitch. Then stitches are picked up along each side of the brim to finish the picot edging and the rest of the hat.
Both pieces knit up quickly and will keep you entertained while working on them. They(tm)re also a great chance to pick up on a new skill. Did you always want to learn how to graft? How to do a provisional cast-on? Were you afraid of cables until now or would you like to learn two different ways to do a picot edging? If you can answer any of these questions with yes, this set was just waiting for you.

It's hard to resist the urge to start at the end of Winterthur's much-anticipated "Costumes of Downton Abbey" exhibition.
That's because the final room of the 7,000-square-foot clothing exhibition opening Saturday houses the award-winning PBS series' sartorial jewels: the ornate, plush velvet, illusion-sleeve sheaths and white-tie tuxedos that drive the Sunday night drama almost as much as the travails of the fictional Crawley clan.
The British series that has won the prime-time Emmy for outstanding costume each year since its 2011 Stateside debut parades a post-Edwardian country-estate lifestyle where breakfast, afternoon tea, park strolls, hunting, and everything else each requires an elaborate ensemble.

Pyranha Releases New All Natural Insect Repellent - Zero-Bite
Horse Fly Control
Pyranha—the most trusted name in topical horse care—announces the release of its most innovative insect repellent to date, all-natural Zero-Bite. Zero-Bite contains zero chemical pesticides. Zero! Its bug-fighting power comes from Geraniol, an oil derived from Mother Nature's own flowery fly deterrent, the geranium.
Geraniol is processed from the geranium, naturally refined and combined with other oils, including coconut oil and wintergreen oil, to produce the main body of Zero-Bite. The oils are then suspended in more than 90 percent water, so Zero-Bite is neither oily nor greasy!
For years, horse owners have had no choice but to protect their animals from biting bugs with synthetic insecticides. With Zero-Bite, horse lovers now have a safe, non-toxic alternative to traditional fly sprays and wipes.
Although it is harmless to your horse, Zero-Bite is effective against insects. It is proven to be extremely effective against flies and other flying and biting insects.
If you're looking for a natural way to keep your horse pest-free this summer, Zero-Bite has you covered. Pyranha's Zero-Bite: The new gold—and green—standard in equine insect repellents.
Find Zero-Bite and the rest of the Pyranha line wherever quality equine healthcare items are sold. For more information about Pyranha, Inc. visit: www.pyranhainc.com

The Beginning of the End
The Battle of Midway was decided in a five-minute span on the morning of June 4, 1942, when U.S. Navy dive-bombers landed a series of haymakers on Japan's formerly invincible aircraft-carrier striking force. Down in a fiery flurry went the Akagi, Kaga and Soryu. A fourth carrier, the Hiryu, was destroyed that afternoon. By the time the cool north Pacific had swallowed their ruins, the war had a new course. The U.S. victory, stunningly complete, smashed the drive train of Japan's imperial machine and opened the way for the first Allied offensive, the six-month fight for Guadalcanal.
It is an essential and oft-told chapter in the history of the war. It is also, retired Naval Academy history professor Craig Symonds argues, widely misunderstood. What he takes issue with is the idea—latent, he believes, in most of the popular accounts—that the outcome at Midway was a matter of luck. Walter Lord titled his immersive 1967 narrative of the battle "Incredible Victory." Gordon Prange titled his important 1982 book "Miracle at Midway." This perception, Mr. Symonds says, is "dominant." It is literally set in stone at the World War II memorial in Washington. The words, "They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war"—a quote from Lord's book—sit on the southern wall.
But luck was the least of it, Mr. Symonds believes. Victory was "primarily the result of decisions made and actions taken by individuals who found themselves at the nexus of history at a decisive moment." Men are not the pawns of history but its prime movers, he claims.
The Battle of Midway
By Craig L. Symonds
Oxford, 452 pages, $27.95
The plan to draw the elusive American carrier fleet to its destruction by seizing Midway Atoll was the most ambitious operation that the Imperial Japanese Navy had ever conceived. But the plan assumed that the U.S. flattops would be idling at Pearl Harbor as their invasion began. They were not. Thanks to the success of his perspicacious codebreakers, Chester Nimitz, the Pacific Fleet commander in chief, knew the Japanese were coming and hurried his three carriers to sea to set an ambush for Chuichi Nagumo's four carriers. Frank Jack Fletcher's Task Force 17, with the carrier Yorktown, and Raymond A. Spruance's Task Force 16, with Enterprise and Hornet, took station 325 miles northeast of Midway, near a spot in the sea that Nimitz designated as, yes, "Point Luck." With specific forewarning and carrier strength nearly equal to Nagumo's (though with vastly inferior supporting forces), Nimitz liked his chances. So was American victory foreordained? Should we entirely dispense with the subjective notion of Midway as "incredible," a "miracle"?
As Mr. Symonds amply demonstrates, Midway was a close-run thing at almost every turn. Accident and error were pivotal, with flawed decisions yielding undeserved windfalls. Tactical doctrine—the trained habits by which commanders at various levels make decisions and do things—just as often had the opposite effect to the one envisioned by its creators. "Though the [the American planes] had gained a great advantage by arriving over the [Japanese carriers] at a critical moment," Mr. Symonds writes of a key attack sequence, "the confusion in assigning targets threatened to throw that advantage away."
Midway buffs love to ponder the matter of the floatplane tardily launched from the Japanese cruiser Tone on the morning of June 4—part of a pattern of seven search aircraft fanning out from Nagumo's force as the opposing carrier fleets moved toward first contact. If, as Mr. Symonds maintains, cultural factors such as the indifference of Japanese commanders to air search account for the battle's outcome better than chance, here is just such an instance. The search plane was assigned a sector that should have brought it right over the U.S. carriers, and so the delay was costly for Nagumo. Or was it? Mr. Symonds writes: "If anything, that delay was a stroke of good luck for the Japanese." He cites the conclusion of Dallas Woodbury Isom in "Midway Inquest" (2007) that the aircraft's late launch helped it to find the Americans earlier than it would have otherwise. The pilot, behind schedule, took a lucky shortcut that took him straight to the U.S. carriers. If true—and it is hard to prove Isom's theory beyond all doubt—this makes the American victory even more fortuitous than was previously understood.
And though the Japanese put a relatively low priority on anti-submarine operations, as the fleets were seeking each other on June 4, the commander of the destroyer Arashi decided to pursue aggressively a contact with a U.S. submarine. When the Arashi finally went hustling to rejoin Nagumo's carriers, an American pilot overhead was watching. He correctly inferred the stray's destination, followed her and located the prize. Was this pilot's decision the result of luck, doctrine, guesswork, culture, logic or predestiny? Whatever gave rise to it, the break for the Americans, was incredible.
Once Mr. Symonds begins narrating the complex events of June 4, he largely abandons the unconvincing polemics. His narrative abounds with examples of U.S. forces catching significant breaks, from the accidental simultaneous arrival of the Yorktown and Enterprise aircraft over Nagumo's carriers—resulting in a textbook allocation of their strength—to the U.S. pilot who departed from his assigned patrol course and found the last surviving Japanese carrier, the Hiryu, later that afternoon.
The Japanese earned their drubbing—failings in task-force organization, shipboard damage control and aerial reconnaissance cost them dearly. But there was still a great deal of chance in Fletcher's and Spruance's cashing in as lucratively as they did. By the time Mr. Symonds is done detailing this matrix of accidents large and small, his book actually supports the view that the near-perfect U.S. clean sweep in such a touch-and-go affair as a carrier battle might fairly be called incredible. The surpassing skill of the American dive-bomber pilots, for example, was important, but that didn't keep 65 of them from failing to score a single hit when they all attacked a lone Japanese destroyer. Luck favors the prepared, but not with every throw of the dice.
Midway: Luck, Skill or Destiny?
Coral Sea, Midway and Submarine Actions
By Samuel Eliot Morison (1949)
The estimable professor-admiral's account of Midway appears in volume four of his 15-volume "History of United States Naval Operations in World War II" (1947-62). For Morison, Midway was a "stunning defeat [of] a far superior Japanese force . . . a victory of intelligence, bravely and wisely applied." His account is still broadly reliable if unavoidably innocent of later findings.
Incredible Victory
By Walter Lord (1967)
The title says it all. "Midway showed that every once in a while, 'what must be' need not be at all. Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit—a magic blend of skill, faith and valor—that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory." For all its occasional overexcitement, the book remains the most intimate account of the human dramas that unfolded northwest of Hawaii in June 1942.
Miracle at Midway
By Gordon W. Prange (1982)
A former naval officer who headed MacArthur's 100-person historical staff in postwar Japan, Prange judged that "the battle could have gone the other way. . . . The story was one of Japanese overconfidence, careless planning, slipshod training and contempt for the enemy; of American cool-headedness, ingenuity, and intelligence well acted upon." This is the most detailed and comprehensive account of Midway.
Shattered Sword
By Jonathan Parshall & Anthony Tully (2005)
Drawing on new Japanese sources, this valuable book threw the first fully revealing light on what the Japanese carriers were doing during the battle, dispelling numerous myths and misconceptions along the way. It shows that while "Japan's carrier force was truly without peer," at Midway the Imperial Navy's command "committed a series of irretrievable strategic and operational mistakes that seem almost inexplicable. In so doing, it doomed its matchless carrier force to premature ruin."
Black Shoe Carrier Admiral
By John B. Lundstrom (2006)
The author's studies of U.S. naval air power—"The First Team" (1984) and "The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign" (1993)—are essential reading. In this excellent (and unfashionably admiring) biography of Frank Jack Fletcher, he judged Midway "an 'incredible victory,' but (with apologies to Walter Lord) not so much, as commonly thought, in terms of the overall disparity of odds. Instead 'incredible' better described the chances of such a poorly framed U.S. attack succeeding so brilliantly."
Mr. Symonds has marshaled the data of seven decades to produce an account that is clear and readable, benefiting from his easy expertise in naval matters. He leans on rigorous recent scholarship in naval operations—especially "Shattered Sword" (2005) by Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully, the best account of what the Japanese carriers were doing during the battle, and the writings of John B. Lundstrom, whose specialty is deep analysis of U.S. naval air operations.
Yet for all his interest in those "individuals who found themselves at the nexus of history," Mr. Symonds gives little space to the men who destroyed the Japanese carriers: the dive-bomber pilots. He explains how a Dauntless dive-bomber drops a bomb but says very little about how the pilots, led by dynamic warriors such as Richard H. Best and Earl Gallaher, developed skill and esprit in a demanding professional art.
Mr. Symonds is stronger in his portraits of the high command. He shows how the genteel Nimitz bucked his superior, Ernest J. King ("a self-appointed son-of-a-bitch"), who believed, based on the conclusions of his Washington-based communications staff, that the Japanese approach to Midway was a diversion. Nimitz trusted his wizardly chief cryptanalyst, Joseph J. Rochefort, who had successfully forecast the enemy push into the Coral Sea a month earlier. That trust helped Nimitz win the day.
Mr. Symonds offers a pitilessly clear indictment of Hornet skipper Marc Mitscher and his air-group commander, Stanhope Ring, for their mismanagement and cover-up of their carrier's wayward principal air strike on June 4, the "Flight to Nowhere," which saw their dive-bombers and fighters venture forth fruitlessly over empty seas. The commander of the Hornet's torpedo-bomber squadron, John Waldron, found the target on a different heading but only after defying direct orders to join the others. The independence of the American carrier task forces, supposedly an advantage against the all-eggs-in-one-basket Japanese, in the end prevented much of the U.S. striking power from finding a target. Mitscher nevertheless ascended to higher rank and responsibilities. By contrast, Fletcher, who led at Midway with a reliable, steady hand, saw his reputation suffer after a controversial performance at Guadalcanal in August 1942. As for the brilliant Joe Rochefort: He later found himself the victim of a spiteful bureaucratic turf war launched by the chief of King's communications staff, who had projected the Japanese moves erroneously. Commanders don't always get what they deserve.
By early 1942 the Japanese carrier striking force had earned a reputation akin to that of the ever-victorious Roman legions at their height. Who today can say that Americans have been wrong to consider their smashing, total victory over such a force incredible, or even a miracle? As a polemicist, Mr. Symonds ultimately writes himself in circles: "Tolstoy insists that chance determines events, but it is people who make history." Both things can be true. If luck really does favor the prepared, historians should never overlook preparation. But as that epigram's structure suggests, her favor remains paramount.
—Mr. Hornfischer is the author of three works of World War II history: "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors," "Ship of Ghosts" and, most recently, "Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy
at Guadalcanal."
