It's Halloween. It's over. Last photo of my scale and my stanky toes has been taken. 3 months ago I had my official mid-life crisis moment after my wifes' cousin Carter thoroughly kicked my arse in basketball, and the reality of how grotesquely fat and out of shape I was hit me like a tornado. (http://originalretrobrand.com/blog/?p=502) It truly was a defining moment in my life.
I was in a hurry to get to the gym that fateful night, and quickly grabbed the shirt I would change into when I got there out of my closet. I was disgusted when I put on my favorite Original Retro Brand Georgia Bulldogs shirt. It was not nice and loose like when I purchased it 4 years earlier. It was a chore to get it on my blubbery, pear shaped, obese frame, and I could barely breathe it was so tight....of course I could barely breathe after Carter ran around, over, behind, upside down, and everywhere else in crushing me on the basketball court.
That was it. I wanted my life back. For my son, for my wife, and for my BULLDOGS SHIRT! I decided I would mix business with pleasure to help motivate myself back into shape. Thus the "Fight For the Fit Challenge" was born. So with my bosses blessing, and as most of you reading this know, a FREE Original Retro Brand shirt was given out the past 13 weeks to the customer who came closest to guessing my weight. My goal was to lose 30 lbs in 3 months. 244 down to 214. I figured putting myself in front of an audience would motivate me (and my stomach) to not embarrass myself by not losing the weight. I also wanted people to know how strongly I do believe in the product I REALLY DO WEAR AND LOVE (I think I have about 150 Original Retro Brand shirts in my closet and that is not enough!). I ran, played basketball, baseball, soccer, lifted weights, and even swam in my Original Retro Brand shirts the past 3 months, and they did not shrink, nor did the logo's fade after dozens of spin cycles. They remain as soft and as comfortable as when I originally got them. And now they fit me again....
Yes, I am proud to say that while I did not lose all 30lbs, I did see the scale say 219 lbs, and that is a sight I have not seen in 27 years.
And after I EAT A FEAST OF FAST FOOD today, and overdose on my sons Halloween candy, I fully intend of getting back in the gym and losing that last pesky 5lbs. I've had brief (very brief) moments of losing 5-10lbs in the past, and have always gained them back quickly and then some. I guess I am like any addict when it comes to food, and realize I could always overdose at any time. This time, however, I really think I can make it last. I feel better, have more energy, and enjoy playing basketball without having to call an ambulance when I'm done. Beating Carter on occasion feels good too!
The winner of the final weigh-in has won TWO Original Retro Brand shirts and a bodybugg from 24HR Fitness ($250 value!). As I've mentioned many times, the bodybugg is an amazing motivational tool that I used (and will continue to use) during the challenge. The revolutionary new bodybugg makes it easy to manage the calories you consume and burn so you always stay in control of your weight. Thanks again to 24HR Fitness for donating the bugg to me for the challenge. Now to the final winner......There were 3 customers who guessed I would weigh in at 219lbs. Thus I had to pick the winner from an Original Retro Brand hat. And the winner is Conor Cameron from Glenview, Illinois. Conor was already notified, and has chosen a Georgia Tech, and a Northwestern shirt for his prizes.
Now that the contest is over, there is one important thing I must admit to. I have been telling a lie. NO, I really did lose 25 lbs. No, the lie is that I've been saying that today was the last chance to win a FREE original Retro Brand tee shirt. The truth of the matter is that the Original Retro Brand will begin a NEW
contest next Monday that will allow you an opportunity to win a FREE shirt every week AGAIN! As long as there are 52 weeks in a year, your chance to win a FREE Original Retro Brand tee every week will be possible! So be sure to check in next Monday, and every Monday to find out how YOU can win!
A final thanks to all of the folks who gave me words of encouragement throughout this entire process. Thanks to Carter Deems for being my basketball buddy. Thanks to Kevin Whitlark for his accurate cartoon renderings (onalark.com). Thanks to the 77 people who voted for me in the poll. And to the 20 people who voted against me? Congratulations...you were right (except I didn't eat one twinkie the entire time. I think I'll get one today).
$5 was donated each day of the challenge to the American Cancer Society's Relay for life. Please check them out and give if you can - I believe it's a great cause.

Howdy peeps:
I thought I would go ahead and do a post about how I integrated Things into our workflow in order to optimize our day to day creation process@work.
Here's how it currently flows:
. At the beginning of each week I review my InBox and begin the delegation process
. I Print to .PDF an overview of our week schedule and submit this to my PM's and Director and my Team.
. I push out Teammate Tagged Tasks to the team (I have a TAG for each of us and sync over just our respective tasks via the iCal sync Tab)
. We use Anxiety to review our tasks
. If we need to comment or add notes, we do so in iCal via the ToDo Panel (or I update Notes in Things since I manage the db)
. When a task is complete we check it off in Anxiety
. I review our progress and update accordingly
. macmini running 10.6.4 Server
. CalDAV configured
. Individual calDAV calendars for the Team
. Our respective calendars are password protected and are loaded into our local iCal
My ultimate wish is to have us all on Things doing the above process and bypassing the CalDAV and iCal setup altogether.
Oh well, until then, it seems to be working quite well.
If anyone has a similar setup or advice, I'd love to hear your experience.
Many thanks,
Back to GTD2CYA

Chiffon Halter Wedding Gown with Beaded Embroidery
Style V3485
David's Bridal Collection
This item is available in stores and online.*
Long, soft and luxurious, elegant is an understatement in this exquisite sheath wedding dress.
Available in Plus sizes as Style 9V3485. A train that just brushes the floor. A decorative fabric design or lace cutout that is applied to another fabric such as a dress, veil or shoes. A sheer, flowing fabric that drapes well on the body. A neckline featuring straps that wrap around from the front and connect at the back. A form fitting gown that contours to your natural silhouette. |
Chiffon Halter Wedding Gown with Beaded Embroidery Style V3485
Great choice
This lightweight chiffon figure-fitting halter gown is perfect for a summer wedding. It was very comfortable to wear, since I was not concerned about it sliding down as I would have with a strapless dress. It is great for tall brides since it seemed to be longer than many other dresses. I felt beautiful, classy and a little sexy, as one should on her wedding day.
August 22, 2013
Don't let them buy this big
I am so disappointed with this dress. It ruined my wedding. The dress was ordered by the store too big. The problem is that the top can't be taken in....the halter sides needed serious slimming down but it was not done. The dress magnified my already large chest as a result... Even after serious alterations. It was too late or them to get me a new one so i was stuck with the one the store ordered for me. I wish I didn't waste my money on this dress and the alterations and on a photographer as I don't wish to see this dress again. The back looks so cheap and the fabric looks wrinkled on the halter even after pressing. Beware.
August 18, 2013
Love it!
My wedding isn't for another 15 months, but wanted to start getting ideas for a dress. I took my mom and sister to David's Bridal, not expecting to find anything. After I tried on 4 other dresses, the consultant brought over this dress. As soon as I put it on, I started to cry! It felt light and just felt right. I didn't want to take it off. It is a beautiful dress. I can't wait to get it in October so I can put it on again!!
May 30, 2013
LOVE this gown
This will be my wedding dress in June. It is figure flattering and comfortable. I have curves and it makes them look amazing. I love this dress. It was the only one I felt "that way" with. I know my husband will love it too! Can't wait to be in it again on my wedding day.

Stress Management
by Marianne Cook, LICSW, Clinician, Harvard University Mental Health Service
Stress is the feeling we experience when our bodies respond to difficult situations—whether that means running from a grizzly bear or studying for a final exam. A series of physical changes occur (e.g. increased heart and breathing rate) to prepare our bodies to deal with the pressure. In mild amounts, stress can actually be helpful, keeping us alert and attentive. Unfortunately, many children and adolescents experience too much ongoing stress, which can wear the body down and lead to a number of health problems, including weakened immune system, headaches and stomachaches, allergies, insomnia, and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

* Identify whether you are having problems with emotions like anxiety and depression,
* Learn skills that can help you cope with these emotions.
MoodGYM is based on two programs which are successful in preventing and treating depression and anxiety. These are: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy.
MoodGYM is designed to be used by people who would like to prevent mental health problems or manage problems which are troubling but not incapacitating. MoodGYM is not specifically designed for use by people with clinical levels of depression or anxiety. MoodGYM suggests that those with depression scores above 2-3 seek contact with a health professional.

A friendly and family-run hotspot in the heart of Kyrenia, the Mountain View Hotel is the ideal spot for holiday-goers looking for a chic spot to crash in between sight-seeing shenanigans. Within shouting distance of the beach and harbour and grabbing distance of turtle-watching and scuba-diving spots, the sights you're looking to see could even just be the underwater variety. Of course, it's not just water-flavoured variety of activities that are in easy reach. Aside for the nearby shops, restaurants and supermarkets, you're close to opportunities for everything from horse-riding to go-karting; a little trip down the harbour will even get you close to the ruins of what's said to be the oldest boat on the world.
Even if you're just kicking it in your air-conditioned hotel room for the duration of your stay, you'll be doing it in luxurious comfort, with three evening meals provided on whichever night you choose. Of course, when you're in another country, you want to do a little bit more than just sleep on your (admittedly super-comfortable) hotel bed all day. The hotel caters even for those who don't want to go traipsing around town, with free Wi-Fi to play around on and lush gardens filled with fruit trees, grape vines and beautiful flowers for you to stroll through; better yet, if you see a fruit that looks particularly tasty, you're free to pick it and take it with you – even if you just want to get it bronzed as a souvenir.
If you've signed up for the full seven days, you can also enjoy a guided tour around the historical sights of either Kyrenia or Nicosia – both of which are full to bursting with cultural delights to tickle your fancy and your soft underbelly.

The F-14B was introduced in 1987 as an improved and more powerful version of the F-14A which first entered service in 1974. In its time, it was without equal among the world's fighter airplanes. The variable-sweep wings gave the "Tomcat" a combat maneuvering capability the could not be achieved with a fixed-wing platform. Other configurations allowed it to be a potent, all-weather, medium-range strike aircraft.

I would've been more psyched about a Wayne collab if it wasn't sex-themed.
Gets kinda old after awhile...
I like how people "don't care" for songs they haven't heard....
Brandon, The Destroyer said:Same, I dont really care for Fuck Food since it has Lil Wayne on it lol, but Im mostly anticipating Promise Land and Am I a Psycho.
Justin916 said:I think WWC and Fuck Food will obviously garner the most attention from outsiders and mainstream fans who are just now gonna find out about tech. Though in no way do I feel that will make them the best songs on the album. Im keeping my expectations really low for fuck food as I already assume I probably wont like it but I waitin to see for sure
My list is similar to this.. was I the only one the was extremely dissapointed when he picked blind fury to replace EM?
Right now I can't stop listening to WWC, but really looking forward to see how Boogie Man and Strangeland sound

Federal Court to Hear Challenges To Immigration Laws
A federal appeals court hears arguments Thursday in legal challenges to tough new state immigration laws in Alabama and Georgia. The Justice Department and civil rights groups have sued. At issue are both civil rights violations, and whether states can constitutionally engage in immigration enforcement.

Panthers look strong at Conquistador
Team finishes first as Rudosky wins
top individual honors
Maybe it was the opportunity to eat a home-cooked breakfast. Maybe it was familiarity with the home-course pins. Whatever the reason, the Montezuma-Cortez High School golf team put together an impressive performance on Aug. 21 at Conquistador Golf Course.
Competing against teams from Durango, Montrose, Pagosa Springs and Telluride, the Panthers finished first overall with a combined 5-man varsity score of 229. Durango finished second with a team score of 232 and Montrose finished third with a score of 236.
For players and coaches alike, the victory was sweet considering that it was the team's first of the season and happened on the home course.
"We had a nice day," said head coach Micah Rudosky. "We played today's course (from the gold tees). The course played at roughly 7000 yards, which is a pretty good test of golf. (The team's performance) showed that these kids can really play."
"It's always fun to play out here," added junior Hayden Plewe. "It's the best way to spend my day."
Leading the Panthers was Jakob Rudosky, whose score of 73 turned out to be a tournament best. As impressive as Rudosky's round was, it could have been better, a scary thought for players hoping to compete with the senior over the course of the rest of the reason.
"I played pretty well for the most part," said Rudosky. "I hit the ball well all day. I just made some really bad mistakes. I hit a couple of balls in the water and I really shouldn't have done that. I'm pretty happy with how I played today, just not as happy with the score."
Finishing four shots behind Rudosky and tied for third overall with a score of 77, Plewe looked strong. Even so, the junior, coming off a tournament victory in Gypsum last week, felt like he could have played better.
"I was scrambling a lot," said Plewe. "I felt like I could have posted better. Once I start clicking and get my mind in the right place, I'll start posting low."
Turning in an especially impressive round for the Panthers was junior Tristen Shelby. Playing some of the best golf of his high school career, Shelby's played with focus and consistency in shooting a round of 79.
"Today was one of my better rounds," said Shelby. "Seventy-nine is probably the best that I've shot. Hopefully I can keep improving and shoot even lower than that this year."
Rounding out the varsity scoring for the Panthers, sophomore Levi Gross fired an 84 and sophomore Ryan Aiken shot an 88. Senior Terrence Yarbrough turned in the top junior varsity score, shooting an 85.
While the Panthers were clearly pleased with their performance, coaches and players agreed that there are still improvements to be made.
"We still have a lot of room for improvement," said Rudosky. "It's a short season and these tournaments come fast. It's important to work on the right things when we are practicing. We just want to keep working hard."
Although there is still work to be done, early returns have been positive. The 2013 Panther golf team is just getting started.

text: Home Culture In Praise of Pork Myths abound among blacks about the swine's connection to slavery. Let's set the record straight. By: Natalie Y. Moore Posted: Sept. 26 2011 12:55 AM 0 Natalie Y. Moore (Courtesy of Prince A. Mhoon) I get really excited when I meet a black man who eats pork. This is not so simple if you live outside the South and want to date a man younger than 45 years old. In certain parts of the black community, eating swine is a cultural no-no. Alas, this can be a dating challenge in my world. I went on a blind date with a guy who didn't eat pork. I know this because he had trolled my Facebook page and had seen that I was a "fan" of bacon. He confronted me and turned up his nose as I rhapsodized about the beauty of bacon. He told me why he didn't eat pork by quoting a 20-year-old Rakim rap song. We never went out again. Recently a friend came by my house, and I had just finished cooking my favorite Saturday snack of sliced avocado with crumbled bacon. The lingering smell of fat offended him. I had to tune out as he extolled the virtues of turkey bacon. Turkey bacon is crap. Pork bacon, on the other hand, makes me smile. The juiciness of a pork roast is more succulent than a pot roast. Broiled pork chops with balsamic vinegar and fresh basil is a quick, yet fine, meal. Luckily for me, pork is the "it" meat in many restaurants -- from pork belly to high-end pork rinds. Yes, there is such a thing as high-end pork rinds. For some black folks, however, the pig is not the "other white meat." Instead it represents filth and a nasty animal that will afflict you with all kinds of diseases. (See Elijah Muhammad's How to Eat to Live.) Anti-pork ideology is a throwback from the black power era, when militants demonized pork. "Pig" also became a pejorative for the police. As black consciousness in the hip-hop generation -- those growing up in the 1980s and 1990s -- blossomed, pork didn't fit into the diet. In Ice Cube's classic "It Was a Good Day," he raps: "I don't know but today seems kinda odd/No barking from the dog, no smog/And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog." I don't begrudge eating choices that are based on religion. But even for non-Muslims, this no-pork edict is weighty. When my friends and acquaintances deride pork, I think it's more out of habit than based in fact. Something clicked in the black community about the pig. Leni Sorensen is an African-American research historian at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello estate who specializes in food. She says it's a myth that slaves ate parts of the pig because it was the nasty animal that slave owners dumped on them. A butchered hog was not considered a punishment for slaves.

Weekly Q&A
Last Updated February 20 2008
If you don't make it on American Idol, what will you do?
I will continue to sing and model if I don't make it on American Idol. I'll never stop until I reach my goal.
What are your personal goals in life?
Well, one of my dreams has always been to perform the National Anthem at the Super Bowl--have a plus size clothing line and have amazing Grammy-worthy albums.
What album would your friends be surprised you own?
My friends wouldn't be surprised to know that I own any particular albums because I listen to everything--country, rock, pop, R & B, Rap, everything.
Do you have any rituals or things you do before you perform?
I like to do a light workout and some vocal warm-ups.
What is your most embarassing moment?
I don't embarrass easily. However, while I was performing once my bra strap kept falling off. It was kinda funny. I was singing a Christmas song.

Here's a look at what you need to know about Tuberculosis (also known as TB), an infection, caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, that mainly affects the lungs. It can also infect other parts of the body including the kidneys, spine and brain.
About TB: Two types of TB exist - Latent TB infection (non-contagious) and TB disease (contagious).
Latent TB infection: - A person infected with latent TB shows no sign of symptoms and may not feel sick. - A skin or blood test will indicate if a person has been infected with the bacteria. - It is not possible to spread the TB bacteria from the infected person to others. - TB bacteria can remain dormant and die with proper treatment, or become active and cause the active TB disease. - Treatment is required to ensure the infected person does not develop active TB disease. - According to the WHO, 5 to 10% of world's population infected with latent TB infection will develop active TB disease.
TB disease: - A person infected with TB disease shows signs of symptoms and usually feels ill. - Symptoms include coughing up blood, fever, chills, night sweats, shortness of breath, chest pains, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue. - It is possible to spread the TB bacteria from the infected person to others. - A skin or blood test will indicate if a person has been infected with the bacteria. - Treatment with antibiotics for 4-9 months is required to treat active TB disease. - Persons with a weak immune system, such as those with HIV or diabetes, are more prone to catching the TB disease. - TB is a leading cause of death for people infected with HIV.
Facts: TB spreads through the air when a person with an active TB infection coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. Germs can stay in the air for hours.
It cannot be spread through handshakes, sharing food or drink, or kissing.
According to the CDC, approximately one-third of the world's six billion people are infected with TB.
The World Health Organization reports that there were 8.7 million new cases of TB in 2011.
According to the CDC, 9,951 TB cases were reported in the United States in 2012. That is equivalent to 3.2 people out of every 100,000 becoming sick. It is the 20th consecutive year of declining rates and is the lowest rate since reporting began in 1953.
By comparison, in 1953, there were 84,304 cases of TB reported, for a rate of 52.6 people out of every 100,000.
Cases in California, Texas, New York, and Florida make up about half of all TB cases in the United States.
Timeline: 1768 - The first edition of "Encyclopædia Britannica" reports of an illness that consumes the lungs.
1865 - French army doctor Jean Antoine Villemin proves the illness can transmit from human to animal or from animal to animal.
1882 - German physician Robert Koch identifies the bacterial strain as Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
1900s - Tuberculosis causes one-quarter of all deaths in Europe throughout the 19th century and early 20th century. Famous people who die from tuberculosis include: John Keats, Frédéric Chopin, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte, Anton Chekhov and Franz Kafka.
1921 - French bacteriologists Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin use a live but controlled bacteria strain to create a vaccine named bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG).
1930 - The BCG vaccine is widely used to prevent TB after being used to vaccinate children in Europe and South America.
1943-1944 - Microbiologist Selman A. Waksman and his associates at Rutgers University discover an antimicrobial agent, streptomycin.
1944-1945 - Veterinarian W.H. Feldman and physician H.C. Hinshaw experiment with Waksman's streptomycin and discover its effect on inhibiting tuberculosis in animals and people. This prompts a wide use of streptomycin in combination with other drugs to attack resistant bacteria.
1952 - Isoniazid is released after successful tests in the United States and Germany. The antibiotic is used in combination with other drugs to treat TB, which are released the following years.
March 24, 1982 - The first World TB Day is sponsored by the World Health Organization and the International Union Against Tuberculosis. The event is created to recognized individuals who have found ways to raise awareness about TB.
Mid-1980s - Tuberculosis makes a sudden resurgence, resulting in deaths in developed countries. Scientists attribute this to inadequate health care systems, immigration from countries where tuberculosis is prevalent, and the spread of HIV.
1991-1992 - The Centers for Disease Control reports a rise in TB cases in the United States.
1993 - The World Health Organization declares tuberculosis a global emergency.
1993 - The number of reported cases of TB starts to decrease in the United States. The CDC is still investigating the reasons behind the decrease.

5 great uses for an HP TouchPad
If you're one of the thousands who snapped up the HP TouchPad during its brief $99 liquidation sale (or one of the unfortunate hundreds that paid full price), I've got some good news and some bad news.
First, the bad news. If the tablet market were a horse race, you just bet on a steed that's been carted off to the glue factory. Abandon any expectations of software updates, or of exciting games and apps filtering their way into the WebOS store. What you see now is what you're stuck with.

NCAA Lacrosse Scrimmage Report: Albany at Georgetown
Hey, everyone. Last time I'm gonna write "scrimmage report" this year, I think. Just got back from Multi-Sport Field in D.C., where the Georgetown-Albany scrimmage, both team's final warmup of the year, has ended. It was a tremendously fun afternoon of lacrosse that gave the fans in attendance lots of bang for their buck. The day started at 12:45 p.m. with situational drills and then about an hour later, a five-quarter scrimmage was held.

By Amy Bickel and Kathy Hanks - The Hutchinson News
Age is creeping up on the nation's World War II veterans. Their lives are fading. According to statistics released by the Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. World War II vets are dying at a rate of 740 a day. There are only an estimated 1.7 million veterans remaining of the 16 million who served in World War II.
To mark Veterans Day, The News, spoke with a few of those veterans in order to share their stories, which will run through Monday.
Jim Payton
If the tales are true, Jim Payton might be the last Marine still living that fought in one of the bloodiest battles during WWII - on the Island of Tarawa.
Payton, 91 admits his memory isn't as clear as it once was, but the longtime downtown businessman wrote down much of his memories of his time in the service. He still recalls the days as he sat one morning at Payton Optical, a business he started a few years after the war in 1948.
"I saw thousands of men killed," he said, but later added, "I never was really afraid... I was very lucky," he said of surviving the battle.
Payton enlisted not long after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and received little training before heading to battle.
Some of the first fighting he saw was at Guadalcanal. The Japanese attacked while they were unloading a ship. The Marines quickly went out to sea and then returned the next morning to finish unloading.
"When I finally got ashore, my buddies said to hurry and dig a foxhole - my first. I dug fast. There was an air raid in progress. Our pilots were superior and shot most of the Jap planes out of the sky. The next day we started back into the interior."
The cooks would set up a chow line ahead of the troops. As they marched by, they would hand them food.
"On one occasion, right after I passed through the chow line, a shell landed in the kitchen. We never asked questions, we just kept marching."
Their assignment was to march on the Japanese and drive them into the ocean. Many, however, would commit suicide, he said, adding he and other men would walk into caves and find a circle of dead Japanese soldiers.
Payton said he was injured a few times during the war. But it was during the battle of Tarawa in November 1943 that Payton received an injury that took him months from which to recover.
Selected as part of the first wave of Marines to land on Tarawa, Payton was one of few survivors in his group after an enemy shell hit their amphibious landing vehicle.
"I was loading one of two 50-caliber machine guns we had mounted on the front of our tank. After traveling about 10 yards and passing over the reef, we were hit. The two men driving the tank fell back against my legs. They were dead. The Marine shooting the machine gun I was loading exploded like a light bulb. I was stunned for a moment and then I came to and decided it was time to get out of this thing."
A lieutenant with him lost part of his face and died. A friend, Bud, and he somehow made it to the beach, although Payton was wounded in the leg and unable to walk. Payton managed to hold on to his rifle to engage the enemy. A medic gave him a shot of morphine and put sulfa powder and a bandage over the hole in his leg.
The Marines saw 990 killed and 2,296 wounded, while the Navy saw 687 killed in only three days of fighting, according to the National World War II Museum.
Payton was eventually transported to California where it took him nearly a year to recover. His right leg was paralyzed and it took several months of therapy and four surgeries before he could walk again.
His high school sweetheart, Phyllis McBride, joined him in California and the two were married Dec. 23, 1944.
"They gave me $300 separation pay, a Purple Heart and sent me home," Payton wrote in his memoirs.
Olen Mitchell
Even at 91, Olen Mitchell is still self-conscious of the scar on his face.
For a fleeting moment in his long life, Mitchell bravely served his country, earning the Purple Heart and Bronze Star and a combat infantry badge. Looking fit and much younger than his years, the scars are no longer visible at a casual glance; they have grown into his kindly smile.
Back in 1943, he was playing the lottery, wondering when his draft number would be called. But in the meantime, he went about his life, he was married and working for Cessna in Hutchinson. There were three draft boards in Hutchinson in 1943, and Mitchell's number, 1,135, was called on Aug. 8, 1943.
"It was kind of late for the draft, it started in 1941," Mitchell said.
But, at 22, he headed to basic training in Texas then across the Atlantic for Sicily as part of the 337th infantry of the 85th Division. He then headed toward Terracini.
"Our squad was picked to clean out a tunnel that the Germans were hiding in," Mitchell.
It was May 23, 1944, nine months after his draft number was called, when he started into 5-mile long dark tunnel with nine other men, including a medic. The Germans had been using the tunnel to bring in troops and supplies.
"They were shooting at us," Mitchell said, but the U.S. soldiers kept going forward, knowing any minute they could be blown to bits. Then Mitchell took a German bullet. It went in the left side of his face, tore through his mouth, taking his teeth with it, and exiting on the other side.
The others moved on leaving him with the medic. The shooting stopped, but Mitchell could hear the Germans talking. "I said lets get out of here," he said. He eventually made it out and to an army hospital.
The next day U.S. forces captured Terracini.
Mitchell's face and mouth had to be rebuilt. He was taken to Caserta where his wounds were cleaned up, and after about three weeks he was shipped to Naples, and caught a hospital ship home. He was one of 250 wounded soldiers aboard the Liberty, steaming back across the Atlantic for the U.S.
It was totally different trip than one he'd taken just months before heading to Europe, part of 110 ships that sailed in total darkness at night and fended off German sub-attacks for the 28-day traverse. One of the ships in the flotilla was sunk by the Germans.
The hospital ship was full steam ahead, traveling alone and "lit up like a Christmas tree," Mitchell said.
Sent to Springfield, Mo., the closest he could get to family and have the plastic surgery necessary to repair his mouth, he began nine months of recovery.
So eager to finally get home to Hutchinson, he set out dressed in his army uniform, sticking out his thumb to hitch a ride. He was picked up by a nice lady going to see her husband in a military camp in Great Bend. It was July 1945, and he was dropped off at the corner of Main Street and Fourth Avenue.
Just 18 months after his draft number was called, the Germans surrendered.
Tomorrow, read the stories of J.B. Holdren, John Quick and Maynard Brazeal, and on Monday, the thoughts of Art Eveland.

REACH Update: A Status Report Nearly One Year Before the First Registration Deadline
By: Annelie Struessmann, PhD, CONUSBAT
Posted: October 20, 2009
The challenge that REACH imposes on registrants becomes evident while performing the steps necessary for compliance and while facing the magnitude of regulatory knowledge and cutting-edge science skills required. More than 20 guidance documents and other publications have been published by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to complement the legal framework and help in understanding the provisions. However, these documents and publications are challenging in and of themselves, as they comprise thousands of pages of legal and scientific elaborations.
Further EU rules and regulations, specifically the community's competition rules, apply to the provisions of REACH regulations and have been considered for the compliance procedures. Knowledge of the aforementioned elements is required when performing the steps for compliance—steps that have never been taken before; for example, SIEF formation, exchange of data and joint dossier submissions. Beyond these steps, comprehensive work in the areas of chemistry, toxicology, chemical processing, data processing, etc., is required in order to complete the technical dossier and the chemical safety report.
The additional dissemination of REACH contents provided by ECHA includes stakeholder events such as round tables and workshops, many of which can be followed online. The most recent event, directed toward lead registrants (LRs), was held in Brussels on Sept. 11, 2009. Contributions to this workshop and to earlier events can be viewed as videos on the ECHA's Web site where additional information about upcoming events is also listed. However, in spite of the guidance provided, ECHA's help desk receives another 600-700 REACH-related questions each month.
In April 2009, ECHA called on companies to become involved in SIEFs in anticipation of the 2010 registration deadline. For more information regarding this request, see the REACH update from May 2009, "ECHA Urges Companies to Organize SIEFs." At that time, communication and start-up difficulties had been reported and during the LR workshop in September, these difficulties were substantiated as having been caused either by the complexity of REACH matter, unprofessional or profit-oriented SIEF formation facilitators, large numbers of SIEF participants or language difficulties stemming from multicultural backgrounds in the EU. Additionally, some consortia involved were described as being non-transparent.
The role and professional performance of an LR was found to be the most crucial for a successful registration. To support SIEFs, ECHA will begin a public relations campaign and provide further help to LRs through a series of webinars and a Web forum. Both Web features will only be accessible to LRs, who must sign up at the ECHA Web site.

Comic Swap!
Guest Speaker Daniel McCloskey of the Cyberpunk Apocalypse
Daniel McCloskey started drawing comics because the novel he was writing needed them, and then he just kept going. He talked about the process of writing the novel/graphic novel hybrid, what comic projects he's involved in now, and a little background including short animations he made in junior high school that rip off Jhonen Vasquez pretty bad. He also talked about living and working at the Cyberpunk Apocalypse (that always seems to come up).
Guest Speaker: Howard Shapiro
Howard Shapiro is the author of four children's books as well as the forthcoming graphic novel The Stereotypical Freaks (Sea Lion Books). Shapiro is new to the graphic medium and talked about the creative experience as well as the struggles he experienced on the road from inception to publication.
