Five Finger Death Punch Announce Free Netherlands Make-Up Gig
Five Finger Death Punch will play a free show in the Netherlands
Five Finger Death Punch have secured a free show in Tilburg, The Netherlands, in lieu of the concert that took place in the city earlier this week. At that gig, singer Ivan Moody stated, "This is my last show with Five Finger Death Punch."
Following the onstage incident, Moody released a statement saying, "I am embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I have fallen off the wagon again," and telling fans he was going to drop off the band's European tour to deal with his issues. We wish him a speedy recovery.
"Last Monday's show was an avalanche of events largely out of our control," said guitarist Zoltan Bathory in a statement.
"We could sit here all day and apologize but our fans in the Netherlands deserve better than that," Bathory added. "They've stuck with us all these years and helped get us to where we are today. So, we managed to re-route our tour and come back to Tilburg and play a free show on our day off — because actions speak louder than words."
In a Facebook message about the previous Netherlands gig, Bathory stated that gig got off to a difficult start when "a crew member rolled the intro without verifying if we were all present" and things took off from there.
With Moody taking time off the band, Five Finger Death Punch has announced that they will wrap up their European tour without Moody and with Bad Wolves singer on vocals.
The free Tilburg concert is set for June 19.

Z&F World Tour: Londonby dgriff13 on 2015/06/12 at 12:00 am
I have quite the stock-pile of fanart rolling in- both in my inbox and my mail box- all of which I cannot WAIT to share with you all. The turn out for the final Fanart Challenge has been great!
Next up on the tour is LONDON! Jimmy Steen of the slice-of-geek-life "Drawn Closer", fittingly brings Z&F into the world of the British TV gem Doctor Who, with Clara Oswald A.K.A. "Impossible Girl". I think if the Weird Kid and Impossible Girl hung out, there would be a definite rip in the space-time continuum. Whoops, I think I'm crossing the Doctor Who & Back to the Future streams there. And now Ghostbusters. Have I lost you yet? Because I'm lost, myself.

Climate Change and Narragansett Cultural Revitalization
1 Jan SALICK, 2 Cassius SPEARS & Dawn SPEARS
1 Missouri Botanical Garden, USA
2 Narragansett Tribe (American Indian, Algonquian Group)
Climate change on the northeast coast of the US is prominent with rising seas, breaking high temperature records, droughts and floods, all resulting in a rapidly changing environment. Algonquin native peoples of the northeast coast are struggling to revitalize their historically decimated cultures while the environment upon which their cultures are based is changing rapidly. The Indigenous Knowledge (IK) of culture and environment is available through spiritual and traditional practices, but only some IK – notably strategies for adaptation and mitigation – is germane in this changing world. Their struggle for identity and power is much exacerbated by climate change. The components of this process are analyzed and detailed with examples from the Narragansett tribe.
Among the Narragansett, climate change is perceived to include rising and prolonged periods of record breaking temperatures – both summer and winter, year after year. The northeast coast extending out into the Atlantic is one of the areas of greatest sea level rise in the world due to warming waters, changing currents and backup of ocean circulations. Precipitation is variable, some years greater (accompanied by severe flooding) and some years less (this year is a severe drought, exacerbated by little snow causing both ground and fresh water reserves to dwindle before the drought itself). The erratic nature and severity of weather events – including hurricanes, "perfect" storms and even tornadoes, never before seen in the northeast – make adapting to climate change that much more difficult; the tribe tends to react to the immediate crises instead of concentrating of longer term climate change. It is both the rapidity and length of time span over which climate changes are taking hold that determine the intensity of impacts.
The Narragansett recognize that these changes in climate bring about changes in the northeast coastal environment. Vegetation and plants change: the forest floor is drier and more susceptible to hotter fires. Medicinal plants lose their potency (e.g., blueberry as a cleansing agent) while other plant populations increase (e.g., boneset, grasses and lily pads). Black Ash is diminishing, possibly moving northward, forcing changes in traditional Narragansett culture. Traditional crop varieties (e.g., Narragansett flint corn) are adapted to cooler, wetter conditions. In contrast, invasive species (e.g., Japanese knotweed, honey suckle, purple loosestrife, etc.) are well adapted to the new conditions, to fluctuations and to disturbance. Fish migrate up-river (e.g., trout, herring, shad) but water temperature and flow greatly affect these migrations and resulting reproduction. Other plant and animal populations are alternately spiking and declining (e.g., blueberries, lobster, crabs), an unusual situation with unknown results. Vernal pools are necessary for amphibians and plant populations, but if they do not form or dry too early then dependent populations do not reproduce. Both plants and their pollinators are stressed, each in their own ways, but together threatening their co-adapted reproduction. Sea level rise affects sediment beds and sand bars, home to shell fish, eel grass and scallops that are affected in turn. Oyster spat (larvae) are washed out to sea with rising tides and sea levels. Sea level rise and concomitant storm surges cause coastal fresh water ponds to be breached with ecosystem level results.
The Narragansett adapt to climate change in a myriad of ways. Blooming shad bush no longer predict the shad run, so the Narragansett look to other indicators. Non-traditional crops and crop varieties produce better harvests and grocery stores offer the plenty once provided by nature. Traditional medicines are replaced by pharmaceuticals. American Indian arts and crafts that traditionally depend on ash splints are now made from cedar or bamboo. As a result, the Narragansett become increasingly dependent on the cash culture and global economy. The Narragansett live where they do because of the traditional wealth of sea and land resources providing plenty. When traditional lifeways no longer provide that plenty or allow them to survive, they seek subsistence elsewhere – towns, cities or wherever the job market casts them. Air conditioners supply a tolerable ambiance, while leaving an ever enlarging carbon footprint. While 400 years of oppression has not obliterated the Narragansett or their traditional culture, climate change feels like moving target.
The Narragansett see mitigation of climate change as a basic tenant of traditional natural resource conservation and a minor extension of their traditional land and sea management. The Narragansett have been assisting migrations of animals and plants for millennia by dispersing seeds, larvae and shell fish and by transplanting medicinal plants and saplings of desirable trees. In the face of great economic and social pressures they maintain one of the largest tracts of natural hardwood forest in Rhode Island. They manage seashores, wetlands and inland waters with ample peripheries to prevent damage from hurricanes, tidal surges and droughts. Their Narragansett Food Sovereignty Initiative places tradition, culture, health, education and the environment beyond economics in their goals to maintain sovereignty, self-determination, self-sufficiency, sustainability, and food security. Though revitalization of indigenous knowledge and culture, this is initiative manages not only traditional farmlands, but also the Narragansett environment: forests, grasslands and wetlands; and not only traditional agriculture, but also resources for hunting, fishing, forestry and conservation; as well as the inherent right of plants, animals and nature to survive and thrive. The Narragansett see climate change as intrinsically manageable if people live by the holistic precepts of Mother Earth or Turtle Island, our small and fragile planet, without which we parish.
Jan SALICK
For more than forty years, Dr. Jan Salick, Senior Curator at the Missouri Botanical Garden and "Distinguished Economic Botanist", has been researching and publishing on Ethnobotany and Ethnoecology, including theoretical, methodological and field aspects. She, her collaborators and her students have been studying the devastating impacts of environmental changes on indigenous peoples throughout that time and around the world. Their work on climate change dates back more than fifteen years and is recognized internationally among scientists and policy makers, especially the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, IPCC, GPPC, IPBES, which prioritize "Building Synergies between Science and Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems." She has received funding from the National Science Foundation (USA), National Institute of Health (NIH and NCI), Ford Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, National Geographic Society and other sources. From the tropical rainforests of Peru and Borneo and the high alpine of the Himalaya, to her most recent work with American Indians, she applies her scientific results to support indigenous peoples and to raise awareness of the impacts of environmental and climate change around the world.
Cassius SPEARS and Dawn SPEARS
Cassius and Dawn Spears are members and representatives of the Narragansett Tribe (American Indian, Rhode Island, USA). In the name of the tribe, Cassius is the founder and director of the Narragansett Food Sovereignty Initiative that strives to maintain and restore indigenous agricultural knowledge and practices. Cassius also works with the United States Department of Agriculture to facilitate supportive Tribal-USDA projects in keeping with tribal values and priorities. Within the Narragansett Tribe, Cassius is known as one of the few remaining tribal members familiar with indigenous knowledge of natural resources (plants, animals, marine life, soils, habitats as well as climate and effects of climate change). Dawn Spears is Director of the Northeastern Indian Arts Alliance (USA). Aside from being an active native artist, Dawn has organized and published numerous art exhibits with American Indian artists from throughout North America. Dawn recognizes the changes in American Indian art brought about by climate change (materials, methods, timing and content).

Place research at heart of Health Bill
We should capitalise on our world-class science base and the investment made in research over the past decade
Sir, We believe the Health Bill misses a vital opportunity to embed clinical research into the NHS. Without this the NHS simply cannot meet the serious challenges it faces.
As clinicians working with Cancer Research UK, we regularly witness the enormous benefits of research for more than 30,000 patients who take part each year in trials funded by the charity. We also know that patients treated for cancer in places where research is integral to care are more likely to survive the disease and often have faster access to new treatments.
David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Andrew Lansley all agree that we must tackle our poor cancer survival rates and make them match the best in the world. George Osborne knows that research will drive…

Complex multi-fault earthquakes may be more common than previously thought, based on a review of data by New Zealand researchers following last year's Kaikoura catastrophe.
Until recently each quake was expected to mainly take place on an individual fault. But the Kaikoura event was one of the most complicated recorded, and ruptured at least 17 different faults.
A team from Canterbury University, Otago University and GNS Science received $NZ67,000 ($62,600) of Earthquake Commission funding to study data from quakes dating back to 1840 and to use new 3D mapping techniques to generate improved information.
Professor Andy Nicol says research so far has found earthquakes before 1930 were recorded as mostly happening on a single fault, but after that date, when better information was available, more were shown rupturing multiple faults.
"The research makes us think that a rupture on one fault could certainly trigger ruptures in neighbouring faults, including faults we don't know about and are unmapped," he said.
"Therefore, complicated earthquakes may be more normal than was previously thought."
The findings will inform how New Zealand's National Seismic Hazard Model can better capture complex ruptures.
"Given the new data we are seeing, maybe we should be planning for a greater number of complicated multi-fault earthquakes than we currently are," Professor Nicol said.

Pronunciation: [MEHR-ih-nayd]
A seasoned liquid in which foods such as meat, fish and vegetables are soaked (marinated) in order to absorb flavor and, in some instances, to be tenderized. Most marinades contain an acid (lemon juice, vinegar or wine) and herbs or spices. The acid ingredient is especially important for tough cuts of meat because it serves as a tenderizer. Because most marinades contain acid ingredients, the marinating should be done in a glass, ceramic or stainless steel containernever in aluminum.

|Mexican corn tamales
Community Tamalada (Tamale Making Party)
In preparation for SoulFiesta del barrio on Aug 10, we are organizing a community tamalada (tamale making party) next Friday, August 9.
We will be making Mexican and Salvadoran tamales made of corn (elote), and Guatemalan tamales made of rice. We will also be making Puerto Rican pastelitos. The tamales and pastelitos will be served during the SoulFiesta block party the following day. The main dishes for SoulFiesta include Soul food and tamales.
Doña Olga is directing the tamalada and we can certainly use your tamale and pastelito making skills. For those of us that do not know how to make tamales and pastelitos, this is an excellent opportunity to learn!

|Salvadoran tamal made of corn
Tamaladas are a Latin American tradition in which families and entire communities organize social gatherings to make batches of tamales. Making tamales takes a long time because all of the ingredients must be made by hand such as mixing the masa (dough), soaking the husks and leaves, creating each tamal, and then boiling them. The more people that participate, the faster the tamales will be done.
This tamalada is being organized in collaboration with Luther Place Memorial Church, N Street Village, and the families from Thompson Elementary.

Four in 10 New Zealand firms say they are interested in investing in robotic processes and automation within the next 12 months, as the so-called fourth industrial revolution continues to gather pace. In contrast, a smaller 36.7 percent said the same in the equivalent research conducted in Australia.
The latest Alleasing New Zealand Equipment Demand Index (the Index) also says that businesses across the country have indicated they want to learn more about the benefits of drone technology, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, product assembly and services automation. One quarter of businesses surveyed said they would consider investing in product assembly and service automation. This emerged as a key investment priority for New Zealand firms, likely given the associated productivity enhancements and reduced labour input costs, particularly in sectors such as manufacturing, where repetitive tasks are common. Big data and AI are also attractive for businesses (21.9 percent and 10.8 percent respectively).
On a location basis, minimal difference exists. Forty-four per cent of firms based in Auckland are interested in robotics or automation – this compares to 41.4 percent in Wellington and 44.3 percent of companies based throughout the rest of the country.
Alleasing Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Blizzard, said the early interest in automation and digital integration will give New Zealand firms a future advantage over their Australian neighbours. More than half of businesses located across the Tasman indicated they have not considered investing in such technologies.
"The Index data shows New Zealand firms have a clear appetite for learning more about the next wave of digitisation and automation, and indeed making the decision to invest in it. Although corporate adoption of these technologies is still in its infancy in New Zealand, the Index data is very promising and suggests firms are already thinking of the major cost, productivity and control benefits on offer, as described by the likes of Accenture."
Another area of focus for the Index this round was to understand whether time consuming administrative processes are negatively impacting capital equipment acquisition programs.
When asked which administrative process has the most negative impact on their asset acquisition programme, more than a third (44.3 percent) of New Zealand businesses reported tax compliance. Issues under the tax compliance umbrella, which were specifically classified as barriers to growth, include the ever-changing tax framework and the corporate tax rate. Examining the data further, little variance exists by business size or location, which suggests tax compliance is a universal concern for New Zealand firms and changes are required to improve underlying business confidence and capital expenditure.
"To achieve revenue growth, maximise productivity and adequately prepare for the future, New Zealand businesses need to become increasingly focused on maximising their capital structure. In addition to this, businesses are suggesting that they want more from the New Zealand government in terms of finding ways to encourage investment and improve productivity," Blizzard finished.

A Video Game room of Your Own
To Keep out… Ma'
Have you ever fantasized regarding building a video game environment of your own?
A place where you and your friends may pay hours and hours enjoying your favorite
games without interruption? Or how about an area that basically shows off your game
fetish? It's very pretty straightforward to make such a place and you do not want to
rent out a video game hall to try and do it. This article will introduce some concepts
you'll be able to use to create the final gaming center.
the world's most realistic car racing game?
The initial thing that you would like to try to to is maintain a cheerful household if you
are family member. Trying to play a mean game of Super Mario Tetris or Halo 2 will be
not possible with kids running around the house and screaming bloody murder.
You won't be able to get pleasure from the newest role-taking part in game when the
wife's nagging you regarding bills or undone chores too. Keep a happy home, keep a
happy marriage, and your time spent enjoying video games is
heaven aloof from heaven.
It's no secret that some games require as abundant concentration and focus as when
finding out for a calculus exam – and there's nothing a lot of frustrating than when you
cannot work out how to urge through to "the subsequent level" of a game. This is not
any time to be distracted and if home life isn't what it might be, you may never be ready
to target your game. Strive to form home a place to unwind 1st – then work on
enjoying your games.
You'll be able to next dedicate an area in your home as your exclusive game room.
This will not solely emphasis the importance that gaming is to you
(and to your family members), it will also become conducive to the mentality that you
wish to play a fun and relaxing (albeit, serious game).
Budget permitting, enhance the area with all the amenities that you wish. You'll add
a recliner (or 2 for your friends),a little stand to carry snacks, a bookcase for your games,
and you'll even add a small refrigerator and microwave (simply in case). Your intent here
is to declare the space as yours and that it serves only one purpose: pure gaming pleasure.
What you are once is a place that's utterly and totally pleasing to you, both aesthetically
and functionally therefore that you may get pleasure from it slow there.
With your own house dedicated to gaming, you'll want to try to what is necessary to
take care of it and keep it in an exceedingly condition that is inviting not solely for
yourself, but for others additionally. Keep your equipment and games clean. Make sure
to keep wires from tangling and organize your magazine subscriptions, books, or
Internet cheatsheet printouts.
Maintenance may be a task that doesn't must burden you so long as you create a daily
routine of it. The blessings of keeping a daily maintenance schedule shows that this area
is very important to you which you've got a right to stay it that approach.
But take special care to not alienate yourself from the rest of your family. We have a
tendency to all can have a favorite hobby and we tend to will even dedicate a special
space of the home to that hobby. However it's extremely necessary to regard this place
as a haven – not a hide out. It is not an space to hide from the kids, it is not a place to
shun home responsibilities, and it isn't a place to measure.
If this special house is approached within the latter manner, you may soon discover it
as an area of resentment, uncontrollable habit, or perhaps depression.
Be careful, schedule time with the family, and enter your playroom at appropriate times.
Cooperation from others can then come back naturally.
VRacer is by far the CLOSEST thing to driving a REAL car…
This is as REAL as it gets!
– REAL EFFECTS of the torque, drag and the forces of race driving
– Actual damage/collision model, tire wear and grip
– G-Force, braking, acceleration, rotational speed of each wheel
– Realistically simulates actual driving

Creative Director: Elizabeth Karabaza // Photographed & written by: Shannon Stewart // Models: Evan Sproat & Graeme Metz
Humans, being cultural animals, are led to believe we are who we are through an understanding developed by cultural institutions like that of the family, and consequently the instillation of hetero normative mentality. Gender and sexuality are deeply embedded in culture as both natural, and universal, programming the majority of society to continuously abide by this ideology. This societal framework must be deconstructed (as it creates hierarchies) and re-imagined (in order to create a space of freedom and equity). Human condition needs to be a subject of emphasized critique. In order to penetrate gendered social artifice, application of a queer discourse of critical thinking and op-positional consciousness surrounding the establishment of the normative must be practiced vigilantly in our daily acts.
The patriarchy establishes sexual normative standards (hetero-normality) which continue to be enforced through monogamous heterosexuality. As argued by many feminisms, compulsory heterosexuality perpetuates gendered divisions and sexual difference; "boys don't cry" is a simple example of this upheld social expectation. Dichotomous engendering sex establishes and predetermines futures without choice, and is deliberately reinforced through the organization of labor to propagation of media representations. We must take it upon ourselves to de-naturalize and de-familiarize our conventionally fixed notions of the gender/sex binary system, and heterosexuality as the only sexual practice, subverting the current homogenization and systematization of peoples. Through autonomy, agency and individualism we can achieve total equality, essential to growth both personal and global.

Allow us to give you peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones are being cared for by therapists who provide the additional attention that can support a happier and healthier lifestyle.
Watching people we care about struggle with issues related to aging can be upsetting and stressful. Placement of a loved one in assisted living can be very trying for the entire family, not just for the resident. Coordinating high quality care options for seniors can be confusing and time consuming. Often caregivers put their own needs secondary and could also benefit from services provided by our clinical therapists.
Our clinicians serve as the "eyes and ears" for family members living far away or those who are unable to visit as frequently as they would like. It can be extremely comforting and beneficial to have a professional therapist on-site that you can call for support.
Senior Support Network could be the missing piece in the care you and your loved ones are receiving. If you are a family member or caregiver of an individual currently residing in an assisted living community and want to determine eligibility for services by Senior Support Network, give us a call at (732) 757-2302. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Over the last month, American Horror Story has put out 51 different teasers for Season 6. Yes, you read that number correctly: 51. They've focused on everything from scary aliens, to scary creatures in ~the mist~, to aliens, spooky children, corn fields, surgery, and Lady Gaga. So finally, after combing through dozens of these possible themes, and almost going crazy in the process, for the love of all things Jessica Lange, what is the theme of American Horror Story Season 6?
Are you ready for this? Are you sitting down? It's not a theme we were expecting at all, and it's a doozy.
The theme is: THE TEETH TRAILER. "Whispers"!!!
Listen. #AHS6https://t.co/PhVaNXg5jG

LOL. For real, though. Okay, it might be shortened, and it might end up something different, but that's what the title card said. So…
Well, that doesn't look like The Mist, so yeah, we were wrong. But that's okay. Did you really expect figuring out the AHS theme would be THAT easy? At least it looks like we were, like, 90% correct with speculating about Roanoke/Croatan idea. It looks like that's happening, and we can't wait to see what kind of American Horror Story we're in store for. Settle in, because this is going to be a WILD season.

Down Another Pound!
I know I could have probably lost another 2-3 pounds over the last week. Inhaling a combination of peanut and peanut butter M&M's has not helped my efforts, but you know what? I feel pretty damned good about it. I didn't freak out or give up like I normally do. Six months ago, if I wouldn't have seen huge numbers move on the scale, I would have said "Fuck it," and gone to Hogs On the Hill for a large BBQ pork rib platter with homestyle potato salad, collard greens, corn bread, and sweet potato pie. Damn that sounds good right about now. I'm salivating at the thought.
This week, I'm graduating to Level 2 of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I'm ready because Level 1 is actually easy and predictable. I'm also doing The Biggest Loser Cardio Max twice a week. That ish aint no joke! I think I actually like it better than Jillian's workout.
The slow and steady approach is really working for me. I set myself up for disappointment when I place to many high expectations on myself. Yes, I'm thwarting my weight loss efforts to a degree when I give in to my temptations, but I've learned not to give up. I have learned the art of compromise, but more importantly, I've learned the meaning of perseverance.
Holding Steady!
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers reading this post!
I am openly admitting that I was not good last week. What do I mean by good? Well, I sort of gave in to my peanut M&M addiction and had a couple of bags. I've been eating those Bob Evans sausage biscuits for breakfast. I could go on, but you get the picture. I've been trying my damndest to make good food choices. What's been keeping me on track, relatively speaking, is making swaps. For instance, if I decide to have a piece of chocolate at lunch, then I won't eat any dessert after dinner or I'll drink water with my meal instead of having a soda or juice. Doing these swaps are saving me calories and my sanity. Deprivation does not work for me, so by doing these little trade offs, it's working.
While I'm still stuck at 180, I'm relieved that I didn't gain any weight. My endurance continues to grow by the day. Starting the workout is always toughest for me. When I get home from work, I'm mentally exhausted, and I have no desire to workout. Physical exercise in my opinion is far more mental than physical. To psyche myself up, when I get home, I immediately open my living room windows to not only let in the fresh air, but to give me the feeling of being outdoors. I then turn on my halogen lamp to brighten up the room. Next I immediately change into my workout clothes. This way I feel obligated to work out. After changing clothes, I'll eat something light like a banana, kiwi, or small cup of yogurt. I wash it down with a cup of water. Thirty minutes later, I'm ready to bust a sweat. My energy level is elevated, and I'm actually looking forward to sweating. It's a major sense of accomplishment for me. If I'm not dripping at the end of my workout, I feel like I've just wasted my time.
Well that's my routine for now. I'm still doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred. This will be my 3rd or 4th week. I've lost track. I'm about 7 pounds down. Not bad, but I know I could do better. I'll check in again on Wednesday or Thursday. I'll holla……….
Yoga Aint No Joke and Other Revelations
Today is weigh-in #1, and before I reveal my results, I just want to recap my week. It started really badly. I wasn't taking it seriously, and I damn sure wasn't exercising. Anyhoo, Tuesday, I really got my act together. I'm still not the healthiest eater, but I'm moving my ass. As I keep stressing, Jillian Michaels is the truth! I've been doing Level 1 of her 30 day Shred, and I've been sweating my ass off! I feel like I've run a 5k after doing those 20 minutes. And you know what? My body is starting to crave the workout. I feel so anxious if I don't work out. I do my workouts in the evenings. It's a great stress reliever, and the workout prepares my body for blissful slumber. So I'm doing Jillian 5 days a week (Tues-Sat) and on Sundays I'm doing a 20-min yoga workout. Let me tell you something: Yoga aint no joke!!! I didn't know you could bust a sweat. Who knew finding your center and breathing could be a workout. Oh yeah, Mondays are my rest days.
After years of abusing my body by fueling it with garbage, I really am trying to eat better. Anyone who knows me, knows that I cannot stand water. To combat that, I've begun putting my water in a wine goblet. It's so chic, and it tricks me into thinking I'm drinking something really nice. I also found these great square bowls at Tar-jay for about a $1.38 each. They're gorgeous, and I use them to put my meals and snacks in. It helps me control my portions and it's so chic. I love chic!
Now, for the weigh-in: I now tip the scales at 183. That's a 4 pound loss! I am psyched! Next week, I hope to say goodbye to the 180's forever! Wish me luck, and I'll holla at ya'll on Wednesday!
Something To Strive For
Every time I look at this pic, I'm like "Who Is This Woman, and how can I get her back." The first pic was snapped before my descent into hell. My skin was smooth. My body was tight! I wasn't small, but there was no flab. My clothes hugged all the curves just right. There's no double chin. My boobs were much smaller. I could go on…. This photo inspires me to get off my ass and do those 20 minutes with Jillian "The Biyotch" Michaels. The second pic on the other hand is me now. Check my makeup. It's my attempt to mask my fat face, but it really only accentuates it. For those of you reading this post and thinking "She is so f*cking vain. What's the big deal…..?" The big deal is once you are a certain size-your happy-to-be-in-the-skin-you're-in-size, you don't want to be any other way. This isn't vanity or some attempt to garner sympathy or all the "You don't look so bad" remarks. No, no, no! I am trying to get my swag back. I'm single again, and I can't get back on the scene without any self-confidence.
Myia told me that 8 lbs was something I could achieve in 56 days. Yeah, it's achievable, but there are hurdles. Unlike the others, I'm not a big drinker, so I'm relatively safe there. My biggest hurdle is the late night snack attack. I swear my mind is f*cking with me. I'll be totally satiated one minute, then five minutes later, I'm raiding my kitchen for whatever. Lord, give me strength!
Damn, Damn, Damn!!!!
Hi. It's Trice. I have been so bad these last three days, it aint even funny. First of all, don't start a new, dare I say, diet, without food shopping first. You set yourself up for all kinds of disasters. I've been eating garbage all week-french fries, a half smoke, cheez curlz. Hold up! Don't I get credit for eating organic cheez curlz? I should. They're bland as hell. They're only good for the crunch factor. One thing I can say: I haven't had a soda in two whole days. That's like two weeks in Trice years. I'm on a streak. I've drank a bottle of water a day. That's like a liter in Trice years. Give me some credit dammit! I'm weak. I'm struggling. I'm losing something alright. I'm losing my damn mind!
As far as exercise is concerned, I'm a day late and a dollar short. I did not work out Monday as planned. I can give you a thousand and one excuses, but they are just that-excuses. I did start yesterday, and I damn near died! I'm doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. It's three, 20 minute workouts, and when I tell you that that 20 minutes felt like 20 hours, I am not exaggerating! You may think 20 minutes aint jack, but for someone who is relatively inactive, it really feels like an hour. I was sweating buckets! My heart rate averaged about 150 which is great. My body aches, which is a good sign. I do my workouts in the evening. One, it really helps me unwind from my day, and two, it really prepares my body for a great, deep sleep. I just need to go to sleep a little earlier.
I'm dying to see how Myia's post will read. I think she's been as bad as I've been. We're sisters, but I think there's a secret competition going on between us. Later, gators!
Check out the two fat, black chicks on Christmas. Guess who's whom?

James Island wrapping up successful spring
By David Shelton
Senior Writer
James Island – As of May 8th, no spring sports from James Island Charter High were still involved in state playoff competition.
But, the athletic program had another successful spring sports season with several teams qualifying for the class AAAAA state playoffs.
The only athletes still participating in the postseason are in track where a handful of athletes have qualified for the Class AAAAA state track and field championships on May 12-13 at Spring Valley High School.
James Island's 4x800 relay team will be going for gold at the state meet after winning the lower state qualifier on May 6th. The unit of freshman Carson Tillman, sophomore Dolan Owens, junior Basil Alfaro and senior Joe Riddell will be among the favorites at the state finals.
Owens also qualified for the state finals individually, placing third in the 800-meter qualifier to earn a spot in the finals.
One athlete from the girls' team, Zavia Nelson, also qualified for the state finals in the discus. She finished fourth at the AAAAA qualifier.
The boys' soccer team finished the regular season in second-place in region 7-AAAAA, earning a spot in the lower state playoffs. The Trojans opened the playoffs with a 10-2 win over Irmo but lost a tough second round heartbreaker to Socastee, 3-2.
The girls' soccer team also finished second in region seven and opened their playoff run with a 2-1 win over Irmo, followed by a 2-0 second round win over Dutch Fork. The season ended in the third round after a 2-0 loss to Lexington.
The baseball team finished the regular season at 12-10 and earned a playoff bid. The Trojans, however, lost 7-1 to Lexington and 5-2 to South Florence to bow out quickly in the double-elimination district tournament.
Senior Patrick Dizon batted .388 on the season to lead the team. Vince Bodison (.367, 18 RBI) and Bo Owens (.365, 18 RBI, 15 SB) also were among the offensive leaders this season.
Jackson White and Bobby Alexander each recorded three pitching wins while Cole Finkelstein and Jaxon Weatherford added two wins each on the mound.
