As you may know, I've always been a bit hesitant about white walls, at least for my own home! But I've come around because when I see a bedroom like this I can't resist. And there is still a technique to layering your whites as I find whites can be so tricky and have sneaky undertones you weren't expecting to see. Since off-whites are so pale they're easily swayed by what they're surrounded with, so it's crucial to layer your whites that are all warm or all cool. I also love the combination of adding a crisp white into the mix. In the photo above, you can see the walls are really bright and crisp! I love the contrast it adds to the soft gentle whites in the linens, the upholstered bed, and the drapery panels.
Did you paint your walls white? Are you still happy with your decision? I love the clean simplicity you'll have, what you fill your home with is so flexible with a background like white!

text: Banff now lives in my heart March 19, 2009canadaMatt HillComment I grew up in Saranac Lake, NY during the 1980 Winter Olympics... When I arrived in Banff, it felt like home. The mountains are a bit taller, the visitors a bit more international, but it's got the same soul - happy people, skiing, drinking and good, clean air. I'll miss you, Banff. I will be back.

Sarah Palin and Reactionary Politics
While Sarah Palin's resignation may a way to dodge personal and
political scandals, it seems likely that she's positioning herself as an
eventual presidential candidate. Her political strategy fits the "let's
hope Obama fails" message of Rush Limbaugh and Republican politicians. This posture openly welcomes and may even seek to realize a massive economic collapse and social upheaval for America, seen as a grand opportunity to gain power.
The apparent lack of rational, policy content in right wing rhetoric at
present is, in my view, exactly what the game is about. Republican
demagogues along with radio and TV talk show hosts blather on about
"socialism" and other inflammatory themes, preparing the populace for disaster. If Obama's policies fail to produce a steady, expeditious
recovery, if the economy continues to sink in ways people find
frightening, if public dissatisfaction swells, then a loose cannon like
Palin could well attract considerable support, precisely because her way of being unhinged matches the gut sense of her heartland audience and the prevailing sentiments of America's "conservative" corporate media.
There are many examples from the past century in which strategies of
this kind worked supremely well for political extremists. Driven to
desperation, societies sometimes turn to sociopathic leaders able to
focus popular distress, rage and thirst for revenge.
It can't happen here? Don't count on it. If the U.S. economy continues
to tank, things could get extremely ugly.

Looking for an auto repair estimate for parts or service in Palmyra, NJ? Since 2008, Classic Auto Service has been delivering professional and competitively priced auto repair to the Palmyra area.

Trust Classic Auto Service, where we understand what you are looking for in auto repair. At our shop, customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal!
Trustworthy, honest, reliable work! (YES, at a shop! lol) I've been bringing my car to Classic Auto for (about 10?) years now. The first time was after I received a quote from another shop, someone told me to "go see Pete", and I'm glad I did. My car was fixed for about 25% of the price I was quoted elsewhere (a lot of the stuff they told me I needed, I didn't). Over the years I've had a lot of work done on not only my car, but my kids and parents cars too. I'm planning on keeping my car that already has over 240k miles on the road for a long time, and I trust them to help me do that.
Great Mechanic!
Pete has taken care of my cars since he opened the shop. He and his staff always do excellent work for a good price - and I'm very satisfied with the quality of his service. I am struck that he delivers on his promises; he doesn't promise what he can't deliver. And I have received honest auto advice, even if Classic does not end up doing the work. I can't speak highly enough of Pete and his crew. If you're unhappy with your mechanic or national chain shop, give Classic Auto Services a try. I think you'll be glad.
There isn't a more honest mechanic shop in the area have been doing business with Pete for many years an he has always provided top quality services at a more then fair price an always stands behind his work!!! If your looking for a mechanic shop look no further!!!

2 years ago a friend asked me if I ate organic food and I remember my response was something like "It's too expensive, we can't feed the world on organic food and the research doesn't prove pesticides do us any harm". Today the same question would result in a very different answer from me. The reason for this change is not because I suddenly came into lots of money and could now easily afford organic food, it's not that I read a report that says organic food can feed the world, and it's not that I have seen studies that conclude that certain pesticides "probably" do cause cancer. No, I had heard all of that before and despite deep down believing them to be true I still continued to buy non organic. Besides for each of the hundreds of articles you can read spinning it this way you can find just as many going the other way. Pesticides are safe. GMO's are the best bet for feeding the world....etc, etc.
The alarming reports did little to change my habit. We're an odd bunch us humans. We have an amazing ability to disconnect from realities that aren't convenient for us. Take smoking for example. As someone who grew up in the early 80's I was fully aware that smoking was bad for me. It was conclusive. No questioning the facts. Yet still I wanted to try it. Thankfully for me it didn't go much further, turns out attempting to smoke an entire packet of Marlboro Reds is enough to put a 13 year old off for life, but lots of people I knew continued to smoke and some still do. Even though we all know 100% that it can cause cancer, cigarette companies still make millions each year from new customers. It's madness. I'm sure a psychologist would be able to explain what it is in our psyche that causes this and if anyone knows please do let me know in the comments. Anyway, I digress...
So despite the reports I had read about pesticides, I was still taking the smoking attitude to my food consumption. I was choosing convenience and price over my health. But this has changed. I am not any richer but I now make sacrifices elsewhere in my life to ensure I can afford to buy good food. I heard a quote the other day which sums up my new attitude towards this perfectly
Don't ask why organic food is so expensive ask why junk food is so cheap
It wasn't that one day I woke up and had an epiphany that non organic might be bad for my health. The shift in my mindset actually came from gaining more of an appreciation for nature and realising that if I believe in evolution then maybe I should trust that the planet wasn't simply sat around for 3.8 billion years waiting for us humans to come and save it.
3.8 billion years. That's quite a long time. Us humans have been around for, give or take, 200,000 years. Which is 0.0052% of the time that the planet has been going. Us clever humans only discovered modern, synthetic pesticides in the 1930's which is roughly 85 years ago. 85 years is 0.0000022% of the time the planet has been evolving. If you are lucky enough to live to 100 years old that would be less than a second of your entire life.
So despite all the reports, studies and food documentaries telling me organic food was bad for me it was actually the realisation that it's a little bit arrogant of us to assume that we know better than 3.8 billion years of evolution. We are only just starting to understand how amazingly nature has evolved, and when we look at nature versus man made creations nature wins every time. Spider silk, bee hives, dragon fly wings, we haven't come close. So for us to rock up 3.8 billion years into the job and tell mother earth she hasn't a clue is a pretty dickish move on our part.
Sure organic food production comes with it's own set of problems. It still has a considerable level of tinkering in it from us humans. When it comes to food perhaps large scale mono-culture farms in any format conventional or organic aren't what we need and maybe smaller scale intensive farms or permaculture is what we need to strive for. I don't have all the answers. It's just what works for me.

The Vampire Diaries is a show that many people were sad to see come to an end. While there were always rumors swirling around about on-set relationships and dynamics, especially involving star Nina Dobrev and her love life, it's clear that The Vampire Diaries cast and crew are truly like a family.
When it comes down to it, it looks like behind the scenes there was nothing but love. Especially while wrapping the 8th and final season of the show, the cast really got sentimental with each other and the fans who have been along for the ride from the beginning.
We're going to take a look at some candid moments on set, as well as off, from season 1 all the way up until the final day of filming. It may come as a surprise that multiple cast members also directed episodes in the series. Show creators Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec really made sure to make The Vampire Diaries a fun, collaborative experience for everyone involved.
Though The Vampire Diaries still somewhat lives on through the spinoff The Originals and Legacies, we will never quite have another show like this one. The Vampire Diaries took the CW by storm, and fans never wanted to see the day it would all end. But all good things must come to an end, and now all we can do is look back at some behind-the-scenes photos and learn a few more secrets about our favorite series.
Here are 25 Behind-The-Scenes Photos Of Vampire Diaries That Change Everything.
While most hardcore fans are probably aware of this, many may not know that Paul Wesley did more than just star as Stefan Salvadore in The Vampire Diaries. He also directed five episodes of the series between 2014-2016.
While Wesley had always expressed an interest in directing outside of acting, it wasn't easy at first.
He told The Hollywood Reporter, "the most daunting thing [about directing] was whether or not I could psychologically embody the feeling of a director toward the cast." Wesley admits that he was nervous, "but when I got to set," he said, "the cast was so supportive."
The Vampire Diaries cast may be full of professionals, but even the biggest stars have their on set moments. Nina Dobrev remember's Elena's final scene fondly, which included her actually falling asleep!
"I'm pretty sure at one point during this scene in the finale, I had fallen into such a deep sleep that I started snoring," Dobrev tells TV Insider. "That was awkward. But everyone laughed—as family would."
They probablyt cut Dobrev a little slack for dozing off in what looks like a pretty comfortable coffin. It was her last scene, after all!
Here we see Nina Dobrev (Elena) and Matt Davis (Alaric) getting camera ready. While The Vampire Diaries is a pretty serious show, the cast has no problem goofing off behind the scenes.
The cast always talks about the incredible bonds they formed while making this show.
Davis spoke to Entertainment Weekly about being on a show that spanned almost all of his 30s. "There are no real words that will give it justice," Davis said, "it's more than just a creative experience. It was more than just being on a TV show."
It's not every day that we get to see the creators behind our favorite shows. Here we have Kevin Williamson, one of the creators of The Vampire Diaries. He is standing along side Michael Travino who plays Tyler Lockwood in the series.
While it may be hard to decipher what we're looking at without the usual smoke and mirrors - the two are standing in front of the Salvatore Mansion.
It's not so big and spooky when you look at it from this point of view!
This photo was taken during the last season of filming, when the cast and crew were feeling nostalgic for where it all began.
We always love to see our favorite characters hanging out and taking time to bond on set. But what also stands out in this picture is Nina Dobrev. One of the more impressive parts of The Vampire Diaries is watching Dobrev go seamlessly between playing Elena, Katherine, and Amara.
Here we see Dobrev in full Katherine costume.
All three of these costumes, by the way, are exquisite. Dobrev admitted that costuming along with other physical parts of the character really helped her separate the three characters.
While Elena and Amara are more natural, Dobrev says Katherine is more "selfish" and "dolls up and overdoes everything."
When it comes to filming a hit show, no stone can be left unturned, and every detail must be perfect. The Vampire Diaries is no different, and here we get a glimpse into just how many people need to pay attention on set at all times.
Crew members are responsible for all kinds of duties - including making sure that every hair on Nina Dobrev's beautiful head stays in place, or that the actors are exactly on their mark at all times. In a show full of chaos, we sometimes forget how meticulously planned every scene is. Props to the hard working crew!
If you've ever wondered how The Vampire Diaries was able to achieve that creepy vampire eye effect - look no more. While the dots on Ian Somerhalder's eyes may suggest simple motion capture, the reality behind the editing is far more complicated.
Mat Beck, senior visual effects supervisor, detailed the special editing process they used to make each vampire unique. "What we did was generate 3D mapping of the skin, " Beck explains, "so whatever tweaks are done to the veins are automatically run through a module that customizes it to the facial movements of the actor."
Confused? So are we. It's just another intricate detail that makes this show so great!
While filming the episode "Black Hole Sun", the 4th episode of the final season of The Vampire Diaries, Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) and Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) admitted to messing around with each other.
While the Salvatore brothers aren't always on best terms in the show, behind the scenes it's another story.
Wesley remembers, "Ian and I were trying to make each other laugh between takes... it's one of our favorite scenes with the two Salvatore brothers."
We have to concur-- seeing them laughing together is a breath of fresh air.
This behind-the-scenes photo is a great look at all the minor details that go into setting a scene.
If you look on the floor you'll see the actor's marks that they have to hit.
Someone even had measuring tape to the left to make sure everything is precise. The camera also appears to be on a roller, which would make sense seeing as how this scene got a bit chaotic.
This scene takes place after the decade dance in Season 1 where Elena (Nina Dorbev) learns that she has accidentally given a violent vampire an invitation into her home.
It looks like here Anna got the short end of the stick - literally! Malese Jow who plays Anna, and Robert Pralgo, who plays Mayor Richard Lockwood, aren't looking so hot in this photo.
In a show filled with vampires and other mystical beings, more than a few characters saw their untimely demise at the hands of someone else.
Jow's staked chest looks pretty real thanks to the makeup and costuming department. She also doesn't look too pleased about being offed - and neither does Pralgo!
Unfortunately no character is safe on this show.
This clapperboard is significant in a lot of ways. Not only is it from the last episode to ever be filmed of The Vampire Diaries - you can see Season 8, Episode 16 on the bottom right corner - this clapperboard is also a tribute.
On top of the board we see "For Sarah Jones, Never Forget."
Sarah Jones was a Vampire Diaries crew member who tragically lost her life in an on-set accident while filming Greg Allman's Midnight Rider in February of 2014. Her accident sparked a huge push to bring awareness to on-set safety, which can also be seen written on the top right of the board.
Paul Wesley may have thought he was being sneaky, but he was still one step behind show co-creator Julie Plec. Here we see Wesley trying to sneak a peak of the season finale's script before anyone else in the cast.
Plec was quick to close her laptop and keep it all a secret.
Co-creator Kevin Williamson shared this candid moment on his Instagram page. Don't worry fans, you are not alone in your obsession of knowing what comes next. Actors are just as curious, and if you're Wesley, you'll try anything to get a spoiler!
This is another fun crew moment that Julie Plec caught and shared on her Instagram page.
This was the last scene filmed in Damon's bedroom, and what an epic bedroom it is!
One of the great things about The Vampire Diaries is how the sets mix reality with TV magic. As you can see here, majority of the set is the real deal, but if you look out the window behind the crew, not so much.
The Vampire Diaries always truly made us feel like we were transported back in time when we stepped through the Salvatore mansion.
Talk about a not-so-private kiss! It's no secret that the intimate scenes in The Vampire Diaries are anything but intimate. In fact, kissing scenes can be down right awkward when you have to perform in front of a bunch of crew members scrutinizing your every move.
Thankfully Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder are total pros, because they really don't seem to be phased in the slightest by the makeup artists doing her touch ups.
The only question we have is - was this before or after the couple's real-life relationship?
What would the last day of filming be without a customized wrap cake? Whoever baked this creation left no detail behind. From miniature cast and crew members, to the Mystic Grill, and even the camaro. They even included Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec on the clapper board with the final date of filming.
We would have loved to get more of a behind-the-scenes look at the wrap party, but some things are left for the cast and crew to enjoy themselves. After 8 seasons, these guys are more like family than friends.
One of fans' favorite character evolutions on The Vampire Diaries has always been Bonnie, played by Kat Graham. Here we see Kat fooling around on set, exuding the same fun, strong energy we came to know and love from her on the show.
When reflecting on The Vampire Diaries coming to an end, Graham admitted that Bonnie really became one with her.
"There are moments where I felt bizarre parallels between the character and my own journey" Graham told Entertainment Weekly. She described playing Bonnie as her "saving grace" through hard times.
When a show goes on for as long as The Vampire Diaries, the cast and crew learn to love filming locations just like a second home.
Much of The Vampire Diaries was filmed in Convington, GA - known in the show as Mystic Falls.
Here we get a beautiful night shot of the town we all came to love over the years. Julie Plec, co-creator of the show alongside Kevin Willimason, posted this on her Instagram as a fond farewell to everything that made The Vampire Diaries what it was.
Behind the scenes photos often capture the silly moments that fans don't normally get to see, but sometimes we get candid shots like this too. Here, Nina Dobrev, who plays Elena, is deep into her script, studying lines for the scene she's about to shoot.
Dobrev takes her acting very seriously. When talking about her exit on the show with US Weekly, she explained why she's ready to move on: "I don't want to play a teenager anymore, " Dobrev admits, "I want to play adult roles and be challenged and work with great filmmakers and tell incredible stories and that has meant being really picky."
This picture is from Steven McQueen's last day on set. He played Elena's younger brother Jeremy in the series, and everyone was definitely sad to see him go.
The cast and crew weren't letting McQueen go without one last party.
Everyone on set dressed up as superheroes for his last day, which is where the hulk hands came from, as well as getting him a cake to celebrate. It's clear that The Vampire Diaries gang is very close, and it's nice to know that McQueen felt the love on his last day.
Kat Graham probably has some of the most emotional scenes throughout The Vampire Diaries. No worries here, because Graham has the acting chops to keep up with her ever struggling character.
Here we get a glimpse of what it looks like through the director's perspective.
Graham admits that working on The Vampire Diaries gave her a new perspective as well.
"I think a lot of young girls see actresses... and they don't really think about the breaking down of a script and what that requires and what you would need to pull it off" says Graham.
Her hard work has definitely paid off!
When people work on a show for years together they can either become best friends or worst enemies. In the case of on-screen BFFs Elena and Bonnie - it spills over into real life too.
Nina Dobrev and Kat Graham still apparently talk and text all the time.
Phew! We're happy to hear that.
Graham told US Weekly that she keeps in contact with many of her costars, and says that "everything reminds [her] of them." After almost a decade together, their friendship has stood the test of distance and time.
While it wasn't always the plan for Nina Dobrev to come back for the season finale, it ended up happening all the same. This is a rare moment where we get to see Dobrev's final script for the entire series.
If you look closely on the bottom, you can see just how many revisions this script alone went through.
Whether or not this is the full final script we all saw in the series finale we can't be sure, but Dobrev will forever have this picture as a memory.
If you've ever found yourself questioning whether Nina Dobrev is a good actor or not, need we remind you that she played not one, not two, but three characters on The Vampire Diaries?
Katherine is wildly different from Dobrev's other characters, and it's almost surreal to watch her turn into a selfish manipulator after having gotten used to her as Elena.
Props to Dobrev, because even though Katherine, Elena, and Amara are identical physically, they truly felt like three separate characters.
Have you ever seen such a pure smile on Katherine? That's how we know this is Dobrev behind the scenes.
Machalai Parker, aka "Kai," who is played by Chris Wood, is seen here goofing off with Ian Somerhalder on set. You may be looking at this picture and thinking "blasphemy" but in real life it turns out Parker is kind of a big sweetheart.
If you notice the clapper, this is an episode that Somerhalder directed himself!
No wonder he has such a big grin on his face: he's in charge this time. It's great that The Vampire Diaries gave so many cast members the opportunity to direct their own episodes.
You may not all know Julie Plec, but if you're a fan of The Vampire Diaries or The Originals, you should definitely become familiar with her.
Plec is the co-creator of the series, along with Kevin Williamson. She is a television producer and writer, and without her we likely wouldn't have 8 seasons of this glorious TV show.
It was actually Plec who considered ending Elena's life and surprising the audience, instead of having her return for the final season. She ended up getting talked out of it, and later admitted it was a "pretty lame" plan after all.
What's your favorite behind-the-scenes moment from The Vampire Diaries? Let us know in the comments!

Kim Kardashian resurfaces at Kanye West concert with apparent video crew
Still keeping a low profile, and still not posting to social media since being robbed in Paris on Oct. 3, Kim Kardashian has nonetheless begun venturing out publicly and has resumed production on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
Following a brief trip to a Beverly Hills restaurant two weeks ago, the reality-TV star was photographed Monday at the Beverly Glen Deli — a shop frequented by stars including Gwen Stefani, Gene Simmons and Warren Beatty, according to Yelp reviews — with her friend, entrepreneur Jonathan Cheban, plus an apparent bodyguard. Cheban, who opened Burger Bandit in Lynbrook last year, and Kardashian were each having a soft-serve ice-cream or frozen-yogurt cones with sprinkles. TMZ.com noted that Kardashian, who celebrated a quiet birthday with family on Friday, was dressed down in an oversized hoodie, plain flat sandals and no makeup other than lip gloss.
The following night, said E! News, Kardashian was seen backstage at her rapper husband Kanye West's concert at The Forum in Inglewood, California. E! said she was accompanied by Cheban as well as by her sister Kourtney Kardashian, half-sister Kendall Jenner, her mother Kris Jenner and her mother's beau, Corey Gamble.
Significantly, Kardashian had a "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" video crew with her, reported People magazine, signaling that the show, which E! said had gone on a temporary production hiatus while Kardashian recovered, has resumed shooting.
A group of burglars had surprised Kardashian at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, a highly private, unmarked abode in Paris' tony Madeleine district, where she was staying while attending Paris Fashion Week. According to police, they bound the reality star while robbing her of millions of dollars worth of jewelry.
Kardashian returned to the U.S. the same day and has kept a low profile, not posting to social media since the day before the burglary. She postponed a scheduled master class with her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic Oct. 14 in Dubai, as well as an appearance at the Hakkasan Las Vegas Nightclub that had been scheduled for Friday.

By John Pring in Disability News Service.
The government department responsible for running the Disability Confident employment scheme has admitted failing to keep track of how many complaints of disability discrimination are made by its own staff.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) repeatedly brags about its much-criticised scheme, which aims to help employers recruit and retain disabled employees, and it claims itself to be a Disability Confident "Leader", the highest of the scheme's three levels.
But last month Disability News Service (DNS) reported how the Employment Tribunal had dealt with almost 60 claims of disability discrimination taken against DWP by its own staff over a 20-month period.
Now a freedom of information response to DNS from the department has revealed that it has been failing to track how many complaints by staff through its internal grievance system are based on allegations of disability discrimination.

A Blanket = Love
In the wake of flooding in Ongole in November, 2013, ICM helped with distribution of food, clothing, and also blankets. Many families lost everything in this flood, which was caused by heavy rain. On November 5th, 2013 ICM continued to help these victims by giving blankets to those who have lost theirs to the heavy rain.
ICM Director Mr. James Rebbavarapu spoke to many residents about the flooding and expressed his concern for those affected. Because of ICM's concern for those in need, they have distributed rice to the same flood victims. Due to the change in weather since the flood, ICM decided this was a great opportunity to also give blankets to the poor and less fortunate.
This takes care of their physical needs and also helps them to feel that someone loves and cares for them. ICM believes in caring for others, regardless of their religion, the way Jesus cared for people.
The distribution took place at Sriram Colony, Chaitnaya colony, and other colonies. ICM is here for community development, to help those in need and show them love.

When he joins a gym and begins training under the MMA champion, Jean Roqua, Jean is equally trying to strengthen him physically but also mentally and emotionally. Using fighting as a textbook for life, he begins teaching Jake that he can't go through life blaming others for his situation or being reactive to his circumstances.

Caroline recently jetted off to the Barbican to see a major retrospective of the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat. We have long been admirers of Basquiat's work since he emerged as a pioneering prodigy of the 1980s downtown New York art scene.
The show "captures the spirit of this self-taught artist, poet, DJ and musician whose influence, since his death at 27 in 1988, has been enormous."
As well has his own work Basquiat collaborated with artists such as Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel and probably most famously Andy Warhol. It's the collaboration with Warhol that got us thinking how even the best ideas are not guaranteed to be a success.
Here we had the godfather of modern pop-art meets the cool new kid on the block. On paper this should have been a wonderfully creative marriage but looking back we can see how it maybe felt more like right time, right place. As Jonny Cutrone quoted in Warhol: The Biography by Victor Bockris, "The relationship was symbiotic. Jean-Michel thought he needed Andy's fame, and Andy thought he needed Jean-Michel's new blood. Jean Michel gave Andy a rebellious image again."
Cynics viewed Basquiat as a fame hungry leech and Warhol as an opportunist who took advantage of the young artist's relative naivete. Others though were convinced there was genuine adoration between them as late Interview editor Glenn O'Brien suggested, Warhol loved Basquiat "like a son".
Was this collaboration destined for success or failure?
It's understood that their collaborative pieces usually began with Warhol (unsurprisingly) silkscreening a recognisable logo or product onto a canvas, which Basquiat would promptly write or paint over, leaving his own mark on the work.
Warhol mentioned in his diary, "[Jean Michael] came up and painted over a painting that I did, and I don't know if it got better or not".
Caroline is equally unsure.
They began collaborating in 1984 and the early works such as Untitled, (General Electric II) and Bananas are visually arresting, but is that more due to the clash of the style of Warhol's celebration of Capitalism vs Basquiat's urban anger, than the art itself?
We are fans of both artists individually, but less enthusiastic about this collaboration.
Their relationship became increasingly strained as their partnership wore on, barely speaking to each other, and all but ended in September 1985, when "Warhol and Basquiat: Paintings" opened at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in Soho and flopped with mostly negative reviews. Many of those reviews claiming that, as the cynics suspected, Warhol had used Basquiat to stay relevant at a time when he was struggling to sell work.A close friend of the pair, Tamara Davis, said "I don't know if Jean-Michel felt bad that he let Andy down or if he believed what the press inferred that Andy was taking advantage of him."
Either way, the failure of that show and consequently their collaboration had a devastating impact on Basquiat who left New York and never returned to art.
Boom for Real the first large-scale exhibition in the UK of Jean-Michel Basquiat's work runs from 21 Sep 2017—28 Jan 2018, at Barbican Art Gallery, London.
Footnote: Sotheby's recently sold a Basquiat 'Untitled '(1982) for $110.4 unseating Warhol's top earner 'Silver Car Crash' (Double Disaster) (1963) of $105 to become America's most expensive artist.

LONDON, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Britain's agreement to share its "Big Brother" databases with the European Union could draw innocent people into foreign criminal cases, some lawmakers warn.
Under the plan, all 26 other member countries will be able to check against sensitive personal information on Britain's DNA, fingerprint and driver registration computer systems, he Daily Telegraph reported.
Where there's a match, rightful or not, a suspect could be extradited to face trial on perhaps a serious but unfounded charge, critics say.
"There is a real risk that a disproportionate number of innocent British citizens will be sucked into foreign criminal investigations," Shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve warned.

I can remember many a night sitting in a locker room waiting for a game that I was either playing in or coaching in and visualizing that game in my mind. Every move, every play and every failure or success. Mentally preparing myself for the task at hand. I am sure that many of you know or can think back and place yourselves in the same position. Alternatively, maybe it was a very important business meeting or presentation you had coming up. Players call this "psyching up" and there are many ways to get ready to play a game, as there are many ways to get ready to acquire success in your Network Marketing business. Using visualization can Visualization is a tool that can used to motivate oneself, plan or prepare for a single task or a complete day, it can take you on a back to when you first started your business. All the plans all the dreams you had that came with it. Now visualize the start of that business and run it all the way to the end. See it in your mind as the success unfolds, see the signups and visualize the checks coming in and all the notoriety that comes with it.
Using visualization as a daily tool keeps your mind in order and helps to prepare for the daily grind of a successful business. Visualization can help with controlling the meeting you are about to go into. As you see that meeting in your mind, you visualize how you want it to start, anticipating what happens or possibly even what is said (hearing those little voices in your head can be a good thing sometimes) to the point of seeing how you want this meeting to conclude.
It is fifteen minutes to game time, he we go, "psyching up" for a day of business. See it, Hear it, and Feel it all through visualization. See the new business, see the checks and see the notoriety! If we see it and believe it then it can be done! Winners will use all tools to be successful, why, because "Winners do what Losers Won't."

Dossier 2 | WORKSHEET 3 warm up 1 Quickly read the text about Indian sweets and match a picture with each sweet. 1 nRasgulla 2 nBurfi 3 n Gulab jamuns G lossary fudge caramelle a base di zucchero, burro e panna (simili alle caramelle mou) donuts bomboloni staple alimento base whey siero del latte muslin stamigna, garza South-East Asian sweet recipes India has a wide variety of desserts and many popular Indian sweets such as Rasgulla are common throughout South Asia, while many others are local favourites, typical of specific areas of India. Indian desserts can be divided into two categories: milk-based such as Kalakan, Rasgulla, Rasmalai, Kalakand and Burfi; or flour-based, such as Gulab Jamun, Malpuwa, Halwa and Ladoo. A Rasgulla is a popular milk-based (soft cheese) Indian dessert. Rasgullas are essentially spherical fresh cheese balls in sugar syrup. Some also add semolina to firmly hold fresh cheese together in the spherical shape. Originally from Orissa, not Bengal, but Bengali chefs are credited with perfecting the recipe and spreading it throughout the Indian subcontinent. In Nepal, it is commonly known as 'rasbari'. B Burfi or Barfi is a classic Indian dessert popular throughout the Indian subcontinent. It is made from milk and is similar to a spiced Indian version of cheese cake or fudge. C Gulab Jamuns are an Indian version of donuts immersed in warm sweet syrup. Served as a dessert, this is a staple in most parts of India.

along came a spiderman
in my last post i was on the defensive. in this post i'm playing offense, and by the end of it i'll score a touch down. that's about all the sports vocabulary i know. sorry, i'm not rohini.
rohini recently described with "mortification" what she called my "sick Sanrio craze." well guess what, rohini's a hypocrite. here's how.
take a good look at this picture taken on saturday as we left the dc chili cook-off and try to keep the laughter to a minimum. if you know rohini well, two thoughts are likely to cross your mind: (1) there rohini is being her silly photogenic self and (2) a spiderman popsicle? how predictable.
for those of you who aren't privy to rohini's infatuation with peter parker's alter ego, rohini is what one might easily call 'obsessed.' yeah, that's right, the same person who gave me a hard time for having a hello kitty debit card, has spiderman clothing, a spiderman bowl, saucer, utensil set, made a spiderman comic book for a french project, and has a blow-up spiderman doll, "spidey" as she's taken to call him.
on a summer day in late july of the year 2005, rohini and a few other of my friends joined my chinese school's rowing team in colorado's annual dragonboat festival (dragonboat is an amazing event that i will have to discuss in detail in a later post). in between rounds of our busy racing schedule, rohini and company took a stroll through the many vendor booths set up in the festival's marketplace. i passed on this opportunity since i had captain duties to attend to, and what an amazing captain i was. i think it's worth noting that this was the one and only time i ever captained, let alone participated in a sporting team of any kind. had i accompanied her on that excursion i would have advised her to spend her money more wisely on cotton candy and snow cones instead of buying that damn doll and all of this spidey-induced hype would have never been born.
to make this already long story a little shorter, here's what happened. rohini and crew come back with the blowup spiderman doll. why? i'll never know. next, everyone is posing with him and taking pictures, an activity i refused to participate in, and the rest is history. from then on, rohini was known as the spiderman fanatic.
but wait, it gets better. with the same gusto that spiderman spins his webs of any-size, rohini's spidermania is a dishonest one. you'd think that given all of her gear, spiderman would be her number one superhero. well, he's not. aside from the recent tobey maguire starring franchise, rohini had little interest in spiderman as a child. she's a fraud. being that i am her bff, i kept this knowledge to myself trying my best not to make any sort of criticism of her character, but after her attack, which we're all far too familiar with, the time for niceties is over. news flash: rohini and i share the same superhero. it's Batman with a capital B.
so yeah, i like hello kitty, and yes i have a hello kitty debit card, but rohini has way too much spiderman crap to be pointing a finger my way. at least my hello kitty love comes from some place real, not something fabricated. the next time rohini and i are kidnapped by the riddler and batman has to choose between saving his faithful fan or the girl wearing the boys 6-12 spiderman tshirt, who do you think the lucky damsel in distress will be?
and to top it all off, rohini went to a 'super hero' themed dance last night. who do you think she took as her date? i'll give you one guess.
that's right. look out! here comes the spiderman.
you say goodbye, i say hello
a few days ago, rohini wrote quite the telling critique of the newest addition to my wallet (refer to goodbye kitty). in fact, the post was such a hit that a certain infrequent reader of ours personally called the author to sing her praises. now, as many of you already know, i am a huge proponent of a good laugh, and an even bigger fan of a great laugh at another person's expense, but i have let this attack on my dear hello kitty go on for far too long. don't be fooled by the adorable big bow and whiskers, because this kitty scratches.
all in all i would consider myself far removed from the typical "asian girl" stereotype for the following reasons including but not limited to: (1) you will never see me flash the peace sign in a photograph, (2) i do not limit my core group of friends to people who look like me, (3) i don't have a weird haircut (not since the 7th grade), and (4) i haven't been a straight A student since freshman year of high school, which was just about the same time i outgrew the A-cup bra (5). so i guess what i'm trying to say is, so what if i like love sanrio's main gal hello kitty? she's one of the few really asian things about me, that and the fact that i played both the piano and violin and my name is yang yang.
rohini got one thing right. i am not a bandwagon, fair-weather hello kitty fan. i knew the importance of having great stationary when other girls my age were still wetting their beds. perhaps it was my already great sense of personal style or my early mastery of penmanship that made me gravitate toward nice notebooks, but whatever it was, my love for hello kitty has been one for the storybooks and this blog.
we've been through a lot, my hello kitty and i. our relationship hasn't been a cheap one, not when i spent three times the market price of regular pens and pencils all so i could see her cute beady eyes stare back at me as i did my multiplication tables. staying up to date with the latest creations from sanrio kept my hello kitty piggy bank perpetually empty, but such is the life of a young hello kitty connoisseur and i loved every moment of it.
yes, i was a hello kitty elitist. emphasis on was. but my once impressive multi-thousand dollar collection of gel pens, stickers, planners, and a boom box (haven't used that term in years) are long gone. i grew up and learned to tolerate the lifeless black and blue pens used by my peers, choosing to waste my money on clothing instead of pens that i seemed to make a steady habit of losing. in fact, had it not been for the new debit card, i had a pretty solid several-year streak of owning no new hello kitty paraphernalia going for myself. rohini was well aware of this new lease on my life, which is why her most recent post came as such a surprise. how could anyone, especially my best friend, expect me to resist hello kitty's face on a plastic card that fills my non-sanrio wallet with cash like magic? i mean, come on. we can't let this count against me.
a few other facts to prove my healthy case of hello kitty mania:
– other than my debit card, i have no other hello kitty items in my apartment
– i lived in new york for 3.5 years and never once went to the sanrio store in times square
– i use regular black pens and a plain moleskine planner
– i have no intention of ordering the matching hello kitty checks
so now that i've explained myself and now that you can see that i'm not so bad after all, it is now time for me to retire for the night. i have to get to bed for an earlier than usual morning at work, but i am far from done. i told you this kitty has claws, and she does. the story of rohini's own obsession, one far worse, and rooted in falsehood must be told. that exposé will have to wait until tomorrow. it's a good one. stay tuned.
p.s. i hate cats, but that just goes to show how universally loved hello kitty really is.
thank you, google
rohini and i owe a lot to google, everyone's favorite search engine, for directing traffic to our modest blog. wordpress is kind enough to show us how many views we get each day and what search engine inputs were used to bring us new readers.

goodbye kitty
Let me put into words the question that is likely running through your mind right now: what 9 to 16 year old Asian girl hijacked the plastic company where Bank of America produces its debit cards? Poor Helen F. Graham must be on the receiving end of an ill-humored joke. I can't tell you how much I wish the above-pictured debit card was, in fact, a failed attempt at practical humor. It is not. Bank of America proudly serves all of its customers, even a rather embarrassing "shouldn't we have outgrown this" group of adult Hello Kitty fans. Now, what I tell you next, I say with the slightest hint of mortification: my best friend, Yang Yang is the proud new owner of a Hello Kitty debit card.
How it all went down.
Two Fridays ago, sitting in my bed shamelessly watching 90210 reruns, I received a phone call from Yang. The call came as a surprise considering that we usually limit our daytime conversing to Gchat. I knew this must have been something important. At the Bank of America office, Yang faced a critical decision: what design should she get on her debit card?
Let me just intercede here with a brief comment. You Bank of America customers are lucky to even receive a choice here. Most bank customers, including yours truly, receive whatever generic card their bank decides to send out and nine times out of ten the design is ugly. Considering the great power BofA has vested in its clients you would think that this power might be wielded responsibly. I don't know that this has been the case.
Yang came to me with two options: a Hello Kitty pattern or the breast cancer awareness ribbon. Maybe a tomboy childhood and lack of connection to all things Sanrio made this an obvious choice, but when presented with these options I couldn't help but respond, "Are you kidding me?" Only to indulge my somewhat excited friend I asked what the card looked like. Pink. Hello Kitty. Yeah, I expected that. I gave Yang the best advice I could offer. We're 22 years old; I think you should go with the more adult option. When you go for business lunches are you really going to pull out your pink and flowery card to pay for your meal? My logic was impeccable. I thought I had made up Yang's mind.
Only upon notifying the female banker that she had changed her mind because "my friend told me Hello Kitty wasn't adult enough," the woman responded that she herself (a much older adult) had the card. I can't say how vast or extensive this network of grown-up Hello Kitty fans is, but I will tell you that I am thoroughly disturbed.
Nevertheless, a thin plastic image of a cartoon cat with a pink bow now sits in Yang's wallet. Considering there is nothing I can now do about this I have tried to see the positives in my friend's sick Sanrio craze. Here are a few benefits I see to having a Hello Kitty debit card:
– Great conversation starter…with 9 – 16 year old Asian girls
– If ever you wanted to kidnap a little girl, here's your carrot
– Brownie points every time you shop at the Sanrio store (though negative cool points for being at the store in the first place)
– It is less likely that your attention-grabbing debit card will be stolen and used to purchase a Wii at 3 a.m. at Wal-mart
– Golden ticket in Chinatown
– Makes splitting the bill far easier. "Just put ten on Hello Kitty and the rest on mine."
– Completes the collection of stationary sets, mechanical pencils, stickers, pencil cases, stuffed dolls and bed sheets that you already have. In no way do I support the purchase of these items in the first place, but if you're going to do it, do it right. All of the way or none of the way (Rohini Life Motto).
I also took the time to look up some of the other card designs Bank of America uses. All things considered, I have to say that the situation could have been worse. I would take Hello Kitty any day over some of these cards.
The "I feel morally confused when filling up my SUV" card
The "I'm only relevant for two weeks every two years" card
The "In case you didn't notice my obnoxious personality, I'm a Boston sports fan" card
The "Is Betty Boop still culturally relevant?" card
While I would like to say goodbye to Kitty, Betty Boop and all Red Sox fans, I suppose I'll have to coexist with these Bank of America customers. Though if ever presented with the choice of debit card design, I'd likely make the following wise decision.

let miley dance
rohini and i are unashamed fans of pop princess miley cyrus. we'll admit that hannah montana is a pretty horrendous show, and rest assured we have no interest in any disney programming that doesn't involve the jonas brothers, but we know a catchy tune when we dance to one. please buy see you again on itunes if you haven't already. and if you tell me you hate party in the usa, i'll tell you you're a horrible liar. now that i've set up our love for miley cyrus allow me to come to her much-needed defense.
it has come to our attention that people are in a tizzy over this miley cyrus "lap dance" video. if you don't know what i'm talking about, take a look for yourself.
[redlasso id="0c2cf386-5eaf-4505-b725-224675566e53″]
before i go any further, let me just say that anyone who has a problem with this kind of dancing is clearly someone who doesn't know how to get down on the dance floor. rohini and i can be seen dancing like this any time we're out together and in fact i'd say our dancing is probably even a bit more provocative. granted we never go out in shorts that short, but there's a first time for everything (we did recently purchase rompers).
the institution of sound and reliable journalism that is tmz broke the story when they released this video early yesterday. they wrote:
"Miley — who was 16 at the time — was dancing with 44-year-old Adam Shankman during a wrap party last summer in Georgia for the movie, "The Last Song." Shankman, who is openly gay, produced the movie as well as "Hairspray" and other flicks and is a judge on "So You Think You Can Dance?"
to answer the above question: yes, it looks like adam and miley can indeed dance. now let us pose a question of our own, what's the big freaking deal?
anyone who has been to a club or top-40 playing bar has seen far worse. yes, miley is only a teenager, but those dance moves are nothing compared to what will be seen at high school proms nationwide (and what will happen in the backs of cars after). yes, adam shankman is older, but the man isnt interested in what our favorite hollywood jailbait has to offer. so all i see are two people having a platonic, genital-covered, good time on the dance floor.
but apparently this isn't what it looked like to my peers and fellow journalists. one headline read 'miley cyrus lap dance – did they have sex?' talk about sensationalism. the baltimore sun took a far less ridiculous approach, but ridiculous nonetheless. their play-by-play read:
"When he moves to the couch, drink in hand, Miley follows and climbs up to sit on him, where her gyrations get even more intense."
and then quoted an unattributed source (faux-pas):
"The worst part is that there were little kids at the party and the dancing between Miley and Adam was so dirty that some of the parents actually left the party and took their kids home."
little kids were at this party? i didn't see any little kids and if you listen closely you'll hear this hell-destined duo dancing to these famous lyrics:
To the window, to the wall, (to dat wall)
To the sweat drop down my balls (MY BALLS)
To all these bitches crawl (crawl)
To all skeet skeet motherfucker (motherfucker!)
i don't know why, but somehow i seriously doubt any kids were getting low at this party, and if they were, the upset parents, the same ones who were so disgusted that they held back their gag reflex long enough to tape this video that they then sold to tmz for a pretty penny, should take a hard look at themselves.
and also, last i checked a lap dance requires one party to sit in a chair while the other more active party dances, grinds and rubs against them. whoever mislabeled this as a lap dance needs to get out there, put on some short shorts, back their thing up against a seedy stranger with questionable motives and live a little.
let me just finish with this thought. if the rest of us can nod our heads and move our hips like yeah, why can't miley party in the u.s.a. too?
and just as an afterthought – if you're digging the sultry miley like we are, check out her newest music video.
Yang recently asked me if we should go for the new Sex and the City movie with my mom and aunt over commencement weekend. Even though she didn't know of my mom's deep seated hatred for Sarah Jessica Parker, the four of us going for this movie is possibly one of the worst ideas Yang has ever had. Why? Well, as per usual, there's a story behind it. Here it is…
Most 40 to 50 year old mothers share a love for three things: the Magic Bullet, the Oprah Winfrey show and movies starring Julia Roberts. With my mother, this third love is particularly strong, so when the motion picture Closer came out in 2004 with Julia Robert's name in the credits, she was sold; it was a movie release she simply couldn't miss.
Now let's paint a portrait of Rohini and Yang around this same time: young teenage girls infatuated with hot male celebrities (not a far cry different from rohiniandyang today). Put a sexy actor on the screen and we'd be sure to buy tickets for that movie. This type of movie going policy can lead to some unfortunate "why the fuck did we pay money for that" moments (a.k.a. when Yang and Rohini went to see Miami Vice). Still, when in 2004 the motion picture Closer came out with both Jude Law and Clive Owen steaming up the screen, we were sold; it was a movie release we simply couldn't miss.
One tiny glitch stood between us and all the Jude/Clive sexiness a girl could dream of. Rated R. For the juvenile delinquents out there, I'm sure this posed little problem to you in high school. I'm sure the "Can I get two tickets for "Over the Hedge" so that I can sneak into my R-rated movie?" approach has gotten you through forbidden doors before. 16 year-old Yang and Rohini, however, had moral compasses that pointed due north and so we went about matters through more legal channels. My mother loved Julia Roberts, Yang and I loved Jude Law; we would all go to see Closer together (and incidentally get a bit closer in the process).
Buckled into my family's Toyota Sienna and on the way to the theater, Yang and I were bubbling with excitement. Neither of us could have foreseen the disaster awaiting us on the other side of those theater doors.
For those of you who have never seen Closer, here's the basic plot: two relationships (Jude Law & Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts & Clive Owen) get complicated when Jude meets Julia and they decide to cheat on their significant others. The movie is full of relationship drama, cheating, sex (in the dialogue, not too much on the visual front) and a very colorful vocabulary. About an hour into the movie, the three of us (Yang, myself and my mother, sitting in that order) watched Julia Roberts and Clive Owen deliver the following lines to one another on the screen.
Anna (Julia): We do everything that people who have sex do!
Larry (Clive): Do you enjoy sucking him off?
Anna: Yes!
Larry: You like his cock?
Anna: I love it!
Larry: You like him coming in your face?
Anna: Yes!
Larry: What does it taste like?
Anna: It tastes like you but sweeter!
Larry: That's the spirit. Thank you. Thank you for your honesty. Now fuck off and die, you fucked up slag.
I'm not quite sure what relationship you have with your mother and it's quite possible that you and she have frequent conversations about "cock" and "sucking him off." My mother and I, unfortunately (or fortunately) do not have such a relationship. Yang and my mom also lack such a connection. As we sat together, listening to Julia Roberts describe Jude Law's sweet tasting ejaculate, I could feel my mother tensing up next to me and shaking her head disapprovingly. I shot Yang a look and we exchanged a cringing nod; this was one of the most awkward/traumatic movie experiences we had ever had/would ever have.
You would think after that scene my mom would have dragged our asses out of the theater and driven us home. Nope. We sat through the entire movie together including one particularly disturbing scene in which Clive Owen repeatedly asks Julia Roberts, "Did you come? Did he make you come?" As I think back on these life-altering hours, I wonder what exactly good ole mum was thinking. Perhaps she wanted us to learn a lesson about going for R-rated movies that weren't meant for us, or maybe she was just an overly dedicated Julia Roberts fan who couldn't leave a movie halfway through. Either way, since that fateful day I have never accompanied my mother to a rated R movie without first doing a thorough plot/dialogue investigation. Lesson learned.
Since we're on the topic of awkward movie situations, here are a couple more funny episodes. Note that none have nearly the same caliber of awkwardness as the "Closer" incident.
Yang convinced her mother to take her for popular horror spoof Scary Movie. Sometime around the penis in the ear scene they both promptly left the theater and Yang to this day has never seen the end of that movie.
I watched the lengthy opening sex scene in Matrix Reloaded seated between my father and my male cousin (who was visiting from India for the summer and who Kannan and I had recently caught downloading porn on the family computer…another story in itself). Don't know that I ever fully recovered from this one.

Top Tips for Buying Back-to-School Shoes From CPMA
In the back-to-school rush malls and shoe stores across the country are bustling with parents and children looking for that perfect new pair of shoes, which are at the top of the list of the must-haves for the new school year. For the student style is the most important thing in finding just the right shoes. Parents, however, need to be concerned not only with fashion, but also with the proper fit of the shoes.
"Many school children are wearing shoes that are too small, despite the risk of injury and deformity associated with ill-fitting shoes," said California Podiatric Medical Association (CPMA) President Thomas Elardo, DPM, a podiatric physician and surgeon practicing in Los Gatos, CA. "Shopping for both fashionable and proper fitting shoes can be a daunting task.
"Before parents plop down a lot of cash on expensive school shoes, CPMA offers the following tips to help make back-to-school shoe purchases a bit easier and much safer:
- Shop for shoes in the afternoon. Feet tend to expand throughout the day.
- Avoid slip-on shoes. Choose shoes with laces, straps or Velcro fastenings, which act like a seatbelt in a car, holding the shoe onto the foot.
- Examine the shoe itself. It should have a firm heel counter (stiff material on either side of the heel), adequate cushioning of the insole, and a built-in arch. It should be flexible enough to bend where the foot bends—at the ball of the foot, not in the middle of the shoe.
- Always have both feet measured for length and width. Shoes that are the wrong size can damage a growing foot. Have the feet measured while the child is standing and fully weight-bearing.
- A newly fitted shoe should be approximately 1 inch longer than the longest toe to allow for growth and extension and flexing of the foot when walking.
- Heel height should be no more than 1 ½ inches. Lower in younger children. The heel should be broad based and be made from a shock-absorbing material.
- Natural materials uppers such as leather are best. Check inside the shoe for seams or stitching that may cause irritation.
- The toe area of the shoe should be toe-shaped and deep enough to allow the toes to move freely and not be squashed from the top or sides.
- Shoes should fit comfortably around the heel without being too tight or too loose.
- Bring a pair of socks that the child will be wearing with the shoes. Have them try on both shoes (with the socks) and walk around the store. Ask the child if he or she feels any pressure spots in the shoe.
- Since one foot can be slightly bigger than the other, buy for the bigger foot.
- Pick shoes that do not need a "break-in" period. The shoes you purchase should be comfortable right away. If shoes are too tight, they can cause blisters, calluses or corns. This is critical for children with diabetes.
- If a child wears prescription orthotics - biomechanical inserts prescribed by a podiatric physician - they should be taken along for the shoe fitting."
The father of three daughters, Dr. Elardo says, "Purchasing properly fitting shoes is the first step in helping to ensure healthy feet, not only for children, but for adults as well. In addition to properly fitting shoes, here are some tips to help keep your child's feet healthy in them:
- Inspect your children's shoes regularly for unusual wear and seek professional advice if concerned. Unusual wear may be the first indication that there is a problem with the foot, posture or general posture and should always be investigated by a podiatric physician. Normally, wear is across the back of the heel or between the back and the outside. Look for severe wear on the inside or outside of the heel. This may carry forward to the sole of the shoe. Also the heel area of the upper may be broken and bulge inside or outside.
- Be aware that blisters and sores may develop with new shoes.
- Inspect children's feet regularly for inflamed nails and red pressure marks on the top of the small joints of the toes, below the ankle bones and the back of the heel.
- Remember that teenagers in particular can be secretive about foot problems and a small, easily rectified problem can be more serious if neglected.
- Don't have your child wear the same shoes every day, change it up.
- Due to being enclosed in a shoe and living close to potential sources of infection the foot is at relatively higher risk of infection compared to other parts of the body. Any blisters, cuts or abrasions should be cleaned and bandaged right away. If slow to heal see a podiatric physician immediately. Systemic diseases such as diabetes often first manifest in the feet."
To help ensure proper foot development in children and the proper footwear for developing feet visit a podiatric physician for an examination and evaluation. To find a local licensed podiatric physicians visit www.calpma.org.
Founded in 1912, the California Podiatric Medical Association (CPMA) is the leading and recognized professional organization for California's doctors of podiatric medicine (DPMs). DPMs are podiatric physicians and surgeons, also known as podiatrists, qualified by their long and rigorous education, training and experience to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the foot, ankle and structures of the leg.
