Senator Silverstein spoke in honor today of the over six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust in observance of Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day. Senator Silverstein read an excerpt from the famous biographical account by Elie Wiesel, Night, in which he described his first sights of bodies being burned in a ditch while being forced to enter a concentration camp with his family. At the end of his comments, Silverstein asked his colleagues to join him in a moment of silence.
Yom Hashoah has been observed since it was signed into Israeli law in 1953 and has been observed annually world-wide by Jewish communities. In Illinois, the seven Jewish Federations in Illinois gather each year with spiritual leaders, Holocaust survivors, students and elected officials. This year marked the 30th anniversary of Yom HaShoah being honored in Illinois by the seven Jewish Federations and the memorial service was held in The Old State Capitol in Springfield in the hall where Abraham Lincoln gave his famous "House Divided" speech. Senator Silverstein was joined by Senate President John Cullerton and Governor Pat Quinn in today's memorial observance.
Listen to Senator Silverstein's comments:

For many people the vegetable growing season really gets under way in October when cool weather crops like lettuce and greens come into their own. And what a selection we have these days. Some seed catalogues carry more varieties of lettuce and greens than they do tomatoes.
The most popular lettuce in food stores is Iceberg but that is a cool climate plant that does not do well in our warm conditions. Varieties such as Igloo and Green Ice give a degree of crispness but Abaco gardeners will get better returns from loose-leaf lettuces such as Black-Seeded Simpson, and the richly-flavoured deep green leaves of Bibb and Butterhead. Romaine can be grown but is best used early. If allowed to reach full size the leaves tend to toughen.
Greens picked young can be added to salads with great effect. My favourite is endive frisee that – once established – becomes a cut and come again salad source. There is also spinach, Japanese mizuna, epazote, plus the young leaves of bok choi, chard, beets and kale. There is a mixture of lettuce and greens sold in a single package called mesclun that allows you to have a wide salad choice without buying too many packages of seeds.
Start your lettuce and greens seeds in plastic seed trays, one seed to a compartment, and use good quality potting mix. Lettuce plants are fast growers and benefit from a weekly spray of Miracle-Gro liquid fertilizer. Once the plants are well rooted they can be transplanted to the garden or into heavy plastic bins that have good drainage. Grow your lettuce in blocks 4" apart rather than rows. Lettuces have compact root systems and must be watered every day that it does not rain.
Loose-leaf lettuces are great because the leaves can be picked as required to be added to a sandwich or salad bowl. Just about all lettuces that produce heads can be cropped and the foliage will grow back. Make sure to cut your whole lettuces fairly high and leave about an inch of stalks to encourage new growth.
Even though your lettuces will be highly productive it is still a wise move to sow more seeds – as many as required – every month. Greens will usually last a whole growing season without needing to be re-sown.
The big problem with growing lettuce is the fact that snails and slugs are also salad lovers. You will have to inspect your plantings sites early every morning to keep them at bay. Snail and slug bait is very effective but should be used with caution, perhaps as a ring around your whole planting area. Although bait kills predators it also attracts them. Birds can also be poisoned. Diatomaceous earth is another effective way of protecting your salad makings. Sprinkle it around your plants and to snails and slugs it will be like you trying to walk barefoot over a mess of jackstones. It will not kill but it will certainly deter.
If you are a serious salad lover you will no doubt disdain bottled salad dressings and make your own fresh vinaigrette. Whatever recipe you use, try adding papaya seeds. Allow the seeds to dry and then crack them with a rolling pin and use instead of freshly ground black pepper. Not only will you add an intriguing light-peppery flavour, you will add an aid to digestion.
If you reach the happy stage where you have too many lettuce and greens at one time remember they can be lightly sautéed in olive oil and used as a vegetable side.

How long do sessions last? How often does my child come to occupational therapy?
- Sessions are approximately 45 minutes in length. Weekly treatment sessions are recommended and will be discussed with the child's occupational therapist when initiating the plan of care.
Back to Top
What is the plan of care?
- This is the formal plan decided and agreed upon as a team by the parent, therapist, and physician. This plan includes: Identified areas of deficit to target, goals that will be addressed in sessions, and the frequency of treatment sessions.
Back to Top
Do parents/caregivers need to stay for the sessions?
- This will vary. Some sessions may be appropriate for the parent to join, but for other sessions it may be more appropriate for the parent to remain in the waiting room. This will be a discussion between you and the child's occupational therapist. For every session however, the final portion will include a discussion to summarize the session and provide recommendations to the parent for the next week's session.
Back to Top
Will I learn things to do at home with them?
- Absolutely! A child's success in therapy will be dependent on the consistency between all of the child/teen's providers (parents, teachers, therapist, etc.). In order to address the area of concerns or improvement, the therapist and caregiver must work together as a team to implement and monitor the success of their interventions. We will continuously work to make sure you feel we are providing for your child's therapy needs even outside of the clinic!
Back to Top
Do you talk to my child's school?
- Collaboration with your child's education team to address the child's needs is beneficial and even essential to treatment. It allows the therapist and school to work together as a team to implement and monitor the success of their interventions. If you would like your child's therapist to speak with their school please fill out the release of information found in our registration documents.
Back to Top
Will I need a referral to see an occupational therapist?
- Yes. A physician referral/approval is required for both evaluation and plan of care (treatment sessions). A physician referral is also required every 6 months for continuing plan of care. Please provide front desk with referral so that they may keep a copy on file for our records.
Back to Top
What should I do if you don't accept our type of insurance?
- You may contact your insurance for a list of providers covered under your network. You may also see if your insurance would be willing to authorize services to be provided at our facility. If you find that there is no coverage through your insurance and would like to receive services from our facility we do offer self-pay rates.
Back to Top
How do I know what diagnoses are covered by my insurance?
- As a courtesy our front desk staff will verify your benefits prior to your first appointment. If there is an established diagnosis or presenting issue please disclose this information during your initial intake. This allows for the insurance company to give us a general quote of benefits. It is also highly recommended that as the insurance holder you contact your insurance as well; often times the insurance company will provide the member with a more detailed explanation regarding covered services and diagnoses.
Back to Top
Do you offer groups?
- Healing Center does offer multi-disciplinary groups (mental health and occupational therapy) throughout the year at our clinic. Groups will be advertised on our Facebook page, at our clinic, and by recommendation by your child's individual therapist. We request our parents and families vocalize group topics of interest to our front desk staff, so that we are better able to offer groups that are of interest to our clients!
Back to Top
What do I need to fill out before our first appointment?
- Before the first appointment there will be an occupational therapy intake packet for you to fill out. This assists the therapist with understanding your child's functioning across all areas of "occupation" (play, self-care, sleep, feeding, social pursuits, etc.). Please turn in your paperwork at least 24-48 hours prior to coming for your initial visit.
Back to Top
How do I know if my child will benefit from occupational therapy?
- Occupational therapy works with children whose daily functioning has been impacted by a wide range of diagnoses or deficits. Our clinic offers a free 15-minute occupational therapy screening sessions to assist with recommendations for therapy. Please feel free to contact our office to set up a free 15 minute occupational therapy screening, or refer to the "Occupational Therapy" section on our website for further information and to determine your child's eligibility for OT.
Back to Top
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
- We understand that situations arise in which you must cancel your appointment. It is therefore requested that if you must cancel your appointment you provide more than 24 hours' notice. This will enable another person who is waiting for an appointment to be scheduled in that appointment slot. When cancellations are made with less than 24 hours' notice, we are unable to offer that slot to other people.
- Office appointments that are cancelled with less than 24 hours notification may be subject to a $150.00 Cancellation Fee.
- Patients who do not show up for their appointment without a call to cancel an office appointment or procedure appointment will be considered as NO SHOW. Patients who No-Show two (2) or more times in a 12 month period may be required to prepay for future appointments, or denied future appointments. Patients may be subject to a $150.00 No Show Fee.
- The Cancellation and No Show Fees are the sole responsibility of the patient and must be paid in full before the patient's next appointment.
Back to Top
Contacting your provider.
- Our providers are not available to take calls when they are in the office; your respect is appreciated. If you would like to contact your provider the best way is through email. Individual emails addresses are on our business cards.
- If you would like to talk to your provider at any length, we suggest you schedule an appointment..
Back to Top
Financial Policy
- All Co-payments and any unmet deductibles are due at the time of service. Please be prepared to pay this amount at the time of service. We accept cash, checks, or credit/debit cards. If you are unable to pay the full amount due at the time of service, we can help you work out a Payment Plan to meet your needs; please check with the Front Desk for details.
Back to Top
Do you accept a sliding scale?
- Our office does not offer sliding scales. Our ability to continue providing quality services diminishes if we are unable to collect in full for our services in a timely manner. We try our best to work with our families and understand that many of our patients experience financial difficulties. If this is the case, please let us know. This way we can better understand your financial needs and create a payment plan that works best for you and your family. We want to help you fulfill your commitment without causing undue hardship, so please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Back to Top
Do you offer self-pay discounts?
- In order to ensure that we provide quality care to all our families, we approach each family's financial situation on a case by case basis. Please contact our front desk staff to inquire about self-pay options, and they will work to inform you of all your payment options to help afford your child's therapy.

Bijou came by today. But not appearing with a common white little tile, but with a black one, which was sent to me by a friend of mine CZT Ela Rieger in Germany. The story of Bijou you can read here. This was the first original black Bijou-tile I have tried (I have made my own from black paper earlier). I can say I enjoyed doing this one. The smooth surface makes the zenstone be a perfect tool! So thank you Ela for giving me this!
Bijou-format: 5x5 cm (2x2 inch). The pattern is Fugu (Sonya Yencer). I often use this format when I practice a new tanglepattern. I´ve found that it is perfect when I need to slow down wherever I am or when I am in a situation that I have a very short time to tangle. Just be there for a few minutes of focus makes a great difference. Today is Pentecost, so I can just relax, taking the time I need and that is so relieving. The cat is sleeping, the dog is out with her other owner and I am doing what I want in my studio. So I made another one before going into painting:
One more Fugu but now also together with Flux and string 109. Happy Pentecost all of you!

I don't normally do this, but I'm going to take a huge risk and alienate a lot of gay porn stars (and their fans) by going ahead and endorsing gay porn superstar ______ ______ to be the next Fleshjack Boy! Cast your vote for ______ ______!
Fleshjack's annual contest gives you the chance not just to choose, but to also decide on which gay porn star you want to win! The winner will have his asshole, mouth, and cock molded into sex toys for you to fuck yourself with.
The Sword is throwing its weight behind ______ ______ for three reasons. 1: He has an insane _____. 2: He is well known for being a complete _____ ___ and a total ________. And 3: Whenever I see him I want to _____ myself.
Vote for ______ ______!!!
But, in the interest of being "fair and balanced," here are all of your options:
Cavin Knight, Jake Bass, Seth Knight, or Chris Rockway?
Race Cooper, Travis James, Trent Diesel, or Tony Capucci?
Nicco Sky, Donny Wright, Tommy Defendi, or Tom Wolfe?
Arpad Miklos, Heath Jordan, Spencer Reed, or Zeb Atlas?
The choice couldn't be more clear as far I'm concerned. Vote for the guy who is literally the most ______ _________ and the biggest _____ in gay porn! Vote ______ ______ here.
May 22, 2012 at 1:53 pm
None of them…
Who are half these guys…They are has-beens, too new, or just weathered porn trash just hanging on for dear life… No one will buy any of these Fleshjacks… Maybe Zeb's but he doesn't even get fucked so it wouldn't even make sense to have a Zeb Atlas asshole to fuck anyways… Why don't they just make a Zeb Atlas Man-Gina… that would be awesome… that packaging would be amazing, a pic of big old Zeb with a huge Hairy Puss… I'd fucking buy that!!! just saying.
May 18, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Nicco Sky. Sexiest & hottest man in gay porn today.
May 18, 2012 at 9:10 am
If Cody Cummings were one of the choices, I think Zach would be able to fill in some of those blanks.
May 18, 2012 at 2:12 am
My vote goes to Donny:
Uncut (i'm reppin for my foreskin peeps!)
May 17, 2012 at 11:18 pm
For me I'd like both Nicco Sky, hottie Mchot and Race Cooper, both of them beautiful men physically and personality wise.
May 17, 2012 at 10:51 pm
None of them!..LoL
May 17, 2012 at 6:53 pm

Hope is cuming!!
May 17, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Funny. Marcus Mojo is getting a Fleshjack soon, so I say go to the other end of the spectrum, and endorse Race Cooper.
May 17, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Jake Bass!!
May 17, 2012 at 1:57 pm

May 17, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Arpad has the perfect penis! End of!
May 17, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Hear, hear all those boys can't fuck at all.
May 17, 2012 at 12:55 pm
Jesus,is that the best they could come up with?…Donny Wright is cute,or Race Cooper is quite hot I guess.
May 17, 2012 at 12:55 pm
It must be Donny Wright or Heath Jordan for sure!
May 17, 2012 at 3:47 pm
That was the tough decision I had to make.
I went with Donny as he is uncut which is my preference.
May 17, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Donny also gets my vote. (His dick's like a lollipop!)
Too bad they haven't invented a dildo with "realistic foreskin action". Maybe this an opportunity, Fleshjack…
May 17, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Thanks for the support guys!
May 17, 2012 at 12:38 pm

I think I submitted a paper today, but I'm not sure. At least I tried to.
The problem was the electronic submission. I was sending the manuscript (it's on Bayesian variable selection, for anyone who cares) to a statistics journal, so they like things in LaTeX. I had prepared the manuscript that way (my co-author is a LaTeX guy as well, so it was a way of learning how to use it). But they wanted the initial submission as a .pdf.
LaTeX writes documents out as Postscript files, and the pdf maker on TeXmaker doesn't like my figures. So, I had to make a Postscript version, then found out I couldn't convert to pdf on my Windoze machine, so I moved over to my Linux box, and used ps2pdf to convert it. The manuscript looked fine in Acrobat. Then I tried to submit. OK, first I realised we had forgotten to write an abstract, so had to go back, do that, write a postscript version, move to Linux and convert to a pdf. When I (finally) uploaded the pdf, the journal's software tells me it's not a pdf! Wha? It looks like one to every pdf reader I can lay my hands on (which is 3 or 4 - isn't Linux great?). But for some reason...
In the end I just emailed everything to them, with an apologetic note, asking how I could convert my pdf to a pdf. They haven't answered.

hehehe Im kinda dreading submitting my first paper. Oh sure, writing isnt that bad-- Got the standard HIV intro, methods are right out of my lab book, results/discussion speak for themselves... But then you have to worry about whether your images are in the right format with the right number of pixels and Journal of Virology has one standard and PNAS has another and Retrovirology has another and so on. Blech!

This is all just part of the initiation into the cult, errm, profession. Then you have to undergo the Trial by Referee Report.
After that, it gets difficult.

There are many ways to convert a document into a .pdf format. A Google search yields but to make it simpler and easier, the resource site to use would be YouTube as a video instructional does help enormously.

A toothache is a pain in or around a tooth that may be caused by: Tooth decay Abscessed tooth Tooth fracture A damaged filling Repetitive motions, such as chewing gum or grinding teeth Infected gums Symptoms of a toothache may include: Tooth pain that may be sharp, throbbing, or constant. In some people, pain results only when pressure is applied to the tooth. Swelling around the tooth Fever or headache Foul-tasting drainage from the infected tooth When Should I See a Dentist About a Toothache? See your dentist as soon as possible about your toothache if: You have a toothache that lasts longer than 1 or 2 days Your toothache is severe You have a fever, earache, or pain upon opening your mouth wide Proper identification and treatment of dental infections is important to prevent its spread to other parts of the face and skull and possibly even to the bloodstream. What Happens When I Go to the Dentist for a Toothache? To treat your toothache, your dentist will first obtain your medical history and conduct a physical exam. He or she will ask you questions about the pain, such as when the pain started, how severe it is, where the pain is located, what makes the pain worse, and what makes it better. Your dentist will examine your mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, tongue, throat, sinuses, ears, nose, and neck. X-rays may be taken as well as other tests, depending on what your dentist suspects is causing your toothache. What Treatments Are Available for a Toothache? Treatment for a toothache depends on the cause. If a cavity is causing the toothache, your dentist will fill the cavity or possibly extract the tooth, if necessary. A root canal might be needed if the cause of the toothache is determined to be an infection of the tooth's nerve. Bacteria that have worked their way into the inner aspects of the tooth cause such an infection. An antibiotic may be prescribed if there is fever or swelling of the jaw. Occasionally, phototherapy with a cold laser, usually in conjunction with another treatment, may be used to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with the toothache. How Can Toothaches Be Prevented? Since most toothaches are the result of tooth decay, following good oral hygiene practices can prevent toothaches. Good oral hygiene practices consist of brushing regularly with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, flossing once daily, rinsing once or twice a day with an antiseptic mouthwash, and seeing your dentist twice a year for professional cleaning. In addition to these practices, eat foods low in sugar and ask your dentist about sealants and fluoride applications.

There are few better ways to celebrate Earth Day than supporting a good cause -- and hearing some great live music while you're at it. Anti-captivity activists will be coming out in droves to the "Kiss the Sky! Orca Freedom Concert" held in support of wild orca research in Seattle, WA.
The concert will be headlined by Heart, a longtime anti-captivity band and outspoken supporter of the documentary "Blackfish." Also there to perform will be Graham Nash and Jami Sieber, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Arielle, Country Joe McDonald and Andrew Morse.
Proceeds from the concert tickets and from items to be auctioned off will funnel directly to wild orca research and advocacy programs, including the Center for Whale Research, OrcaLab, and Earth Island Institute's International Marine Mammal Project.

These Three Remain
And now, these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13 is one of the most well-known verses in the Bible for good reason.
Each of the three designs in the series uses just two colors and includes a few smyrna stitches for texture. My color selections are listed here, but you can choose your favorite color combinations.
Stitch count: Faith -- 167 x 67, Hope and Love - 139 x 67
Faith, Hope and Love were all released separately with the Petites Collection and are still favorites, but I couldn't resist putting all three together for this new Petites Classic.

eason 19 kicks off this Sunday, January 28th with "Beware the Snowman"! This season, all events from the Wrestle Factory will be streamed live to CHIKARAtopia.com! Note the special start time of 2:00 pm EST for this event (we'll be done well ahead of the Royal Rumble.)
The Grand Championship of CHIKARA is on the line as Juan Francisco de Coronadofaces Hype Rockwell at our first event of 2018! Hype amassed his third point after defeating his former partner Race Jaxon at "Closing Time", in wrestling's first ever "Loser Becomes Masked" Match. While the match was certainly one of Hype's most formidable challenges, Juan Francisco has scratched and clawed his way through 8 challengers already. Look for Hype to bring the N_R_G to his title opportunity at "Beware the Snowman"!
Travis Huckabee will go one-on-one with Gran Akuma! Travis has been the target of a new feeling among veterans of CHIKARA – that the latest round of Wrestle Factory graduates are "soft". As the standout of this new class, Huckabee is the first target of these returning faces that are hoping to put the rest of the rookies on notice. This Sunday, Travis looks to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he's more than tough enough!
The Proletariat Boar of Moldova charges out of the gate as he faces Cornelius Crummels! Season 18 ended on a low note for these two as Boar's match was interrupted by 17 and Crummels lost his match with The Rumblebees. Both of these young athletes are looking to turn their luck around and start off Season 19 with a win. At "Beware the Snowman", one will feel the fire of victory, while the other gets left out in the cold.
Season 19 kicks off at the special start time of 2pm!

Canadian Bands From The 70's WeekWednesday, October 7th, 2009
Randy Bachman is living proof that not all Canadian men are steamy hunks of grade-A man-meat. Sure, the overwhelming majority of us are, but Randy Bachman isn't. Looking at the size of Randy Bachman in this video though, I would NEVER say that to his face. He is a mountain of a man. Unlike his brother on drums, who looks like my auntie Edith.
I think this is how BTO was formed: Chad Allan started a band in 1960 called Al and the Silvertones and then changed names to Chad Allan and the Reflectionsin 1962. Randy Bachman was the lead guitarist. A few years later the band changed its name again to Chad Allan and the Expressions, because some other group called The Reflections crowded them out.
In 65, the group scored a major hit by singing a rendition of Shaking All Over by Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. Quality Records, the company that signed Chad Allan & The Expressions, attributed the song to "Guess Who?" (it was some sort of marketing ploy to build up mystique towards the band). Even after Quality Records announced the single was from Chad Allan, everyone now called the band The Guess Who.
From there, Bob Ashley left the group in 1965, Burton Cummings joined the band, a few months later Chad Allan left. The Guess Who stuck around for 5 more years until Bachman had enough of Cummings nitwittery and left. Randy then went back to Winnipeg and formed the group Brave Belt in 71 with brother Robbie and Chad Allan. Brave Belt came out with two albums but eventually tanked. We call this in Canada, "The Chad Allan Effect", like, "Wow man, you really Chad Allan'd that test, loser."
Randy then brought in his other brother Tim as a second guitarist. And here's where things get pretty weird.
Bachman's demo tape was rejected 26 times. He was about to give up and get a job, when amazingly, Charlie Fach of Mercury Records came back from a trip from France to find his desk stacked with unplayed demos. He swiped all the tapes off his desk and into a garbage can, but one tape missed and fell on the floor. He noticed that the tape had the name Bachman on it, and he remembered Randy from a previous encounter. He had told Randy that if he ever got a demo together to send it to him.
He called Bachman and signed him to a record deal. But before he would sign him,the band would have to get rid of their incredibly gay name. And that's where BTO came in. And I'm not sure how they got the Overdrive Part of the name, but who cares, my story kicked major ass.
I have another story and it involves a dwarf, a roll of duct-tape and a 26er of top shelf hooch, but I'm going to save it for another day.
There are so many BTO songs to choose from, but this is the only one I could find where the boys played to a prison crowd in some remote jail in Nowhereville Manitoba or whatever. At first I thought the crowd was sitting on their collective hands, but they were probably handcuffed, or messed up on glue. Glue sniffin' inbreds.
So there you go, there's a little history lesson. You are now 3x as smart as you were when you woke up this morning.

Art By Miran Challenge 39
I hope you are having a lovely week. It has been raining a lot here lately, we need it a lot but I do love the sun. I'm so looking forward to some warmer weather. I find it much easier to craft when I am warm and the kids are outside not bugging me.
Anyway onto what I have been up to with my crafting. Today's card is for my daughters flute teacher as my daughter is really loving her flute lessons. I think she is doing great but I am probably biased. I have used the lovely Art By Miran stamp called Serenade. She is so peaceful and pretty.
Here she is;
I actually had a different plan for this card however I picked up my RV's instead of my R's to colour so I had to totally change my plan. I found these fab Prima Botanical papers that I got as a magazine freebie in my stash and all was well again. I don't normally use so many flowers but I just had to add them to this pretty girl. I wanted her to have a tranquil meadow feel. I hope you like her.
I would love to see what you have been up to so get crafting then enter ABM Challenge #39.

Maybe the question is not so much a matter of when to ask, but whom to ask. I mean, does the father: a) validate the son's complaint?, b) respond to it epathically or sympathetically?, or c) admit the wrong and try to right it, e.g., "Hey, I hear you. Today we celebrate little bro, but tomorrow, it will be all about you."
Maybe, sadly, the dad is not far long enough in his receovery process, as an emotionall abusive parent, to see offer emotinal presence to his son. I mean, does he? he may be working out so much guilt for his faiures as a pop, the ones that the little bro's flight brought to the fore of his consciousness, that he cannot take on another breach or boken relationship. One breach at a time. That dad, I feel for him; he's got to be grieving and doin' a lot of make up for lost time. OR, he may be a changed man.

Here begins your journey into the mind of everybody's favorite asian, and I don't mean Jet Li.
What follows is the somewhat inane, mostly irrelevant, and self-important ramblings of a man on the brink of madness.
Welcome... to the Chu.
What you failed to notice were the other pictures which captured all the lovely ladies surrounding me.
Let me think...what were you doing on that Saturday night? Oh yeah...nothing!
By Joel, at 2/01/2006 04:12:00 PM
that's hilarious phil...score one for you.
By lauren, at 2/01/2006 04:43:00 PM
Wrong again Joel, I was with 26 other friends at Dave & Buster's for Dave & Missy's birthday party.
By Chu, at 2/01/2006 05:04:00 PM
"i think" this is rather amusing
By alygirl, at 2/01/2006 05:06:00 PM
Great job Chu!
Joel, per your first comment... I did notice the "lovely ladies"...pictured all over the wall behind you.

I've played it out a million different ways. Well, maybe not a million, but at least seventy-seven. I just don't know which will happen. Will any of them? Or will some scenario I didn't anticipate in any way blindside me from left field? I just don't know. But I HAVE TO KNOW. More than likely, it will be a lonely, depressing, tear-inducing, lonely trip. I won't see him…I mean, I know me, and I am positive I will not be able to resist going by the several addresses – some new, some old – hoping I will catch a glimpse of him; but even if I do…
What is really the point? I know that's what you are asking. Along with, I am sure, Why go somewhere you are not wanted?
I could say I'm a masochist, a glutton for punishment, that I won't be satisfied until every dream I ever, ever had is ripped from me and stomped into oblivion. I could say that; and maybe it's even true a little. I need drama – that's what some people think, I'm sure – so let's create some.
But I don't really think any of that is right…
I think I want to go because – please, please try not to laugh too hard (at least not to my face) – because somehow, I am still the tiniest bit hopeful. There is still some little spark of the fighter in me left, and she just can't give up without giving it the old college try one last time. I feel a desperate need to see the things I saw with him one more time. For most of my life his world was a huge black hole to me; a mystery, a vortex around which I hovered in the hope that one day a convulsion in the space-time continuum would send him flying out of the shadows and out into the world of light in which I have waited for him. Time after time after time.
Go ahead and joke me for that. It's okay. Even I think it sounds lame. But it's really how I feel. My place in this world seems to be to help others. Always. No matter the cost to myself. And I have never minded that at all – not the cost, not the personal emptiness, not the inherent loneliness of people coming in and out of my life just long enough to get what they need from me and be well enough to go on. I was proud. Aside from my child, it was about the only thing in my life about which I was proud. So many things made me feel dirty and crummy and stupid – no one's fault, really, it was just the circumstances in which I found myself.
The only other thing about which I was singularly proud was the fact that this man loved me. I cried tears of joy when he came into my life. Never had I felt such completion, such security, such intense…everything. Then he was gone. After that the sun was never as bright, the trilling of the birds in the morning rarely stirred me, the ocean seemed flat.
When we reconnected in our twenties, I was again so proud. Of him. He had broadened his horizons so much; read so many books, wrote such beautiful words, played such beautiful music, drew such beautiful things. The need to be with him then nearly made me insane…and yet, I was so afraid to go to him. I freely admit it that I fucked up. I told him I couldn't come…I thought I had made it clear that I would come, later, just not right then. Of course, he took it to mean that I didn't really love him and I never would. We both had bad advice from our parents, both of whom said "If He/She really loves you, He/She will find their way here to you. If He/She doesn't come then you know He/She doesn't really love you that much."
How wrong those parents were. And how juvenile he and I were.
I tried to call him several times. I had made up my mind that I was going, consequences be damned. I had to know if he could really love me. I whined and cried and begged til my mom bought me a plane ticket. I didn't tell him – I was going to, but when I called every day for the three days before I left, whomever answered the phone told me he wasn't there. I didn't believe it. I figured his family was angry with me for hurting him…again, in their minds. So I said, fuck it, threw caution to the wind and boarded that damn plane.
Oh my plans…I was going to call when I got to St. Louis and ask him to come get me. Wouldn't he be thrilled and surprised??? I couldn't wait to see him. I had been so stupid worrying that he wouldn't love me because of things that had happened to me…I suppose I have to take responsibility for fucking up everything by putting off going to see him…Yep, it's all my fault.
See, I got to the airport in St. Louis, but I was scared to call him, scared he wouldn't want to talk to me or something, and suddenly I wondered what the hell I was thinking to fly half way across the country without even talking to him. So I called home and begged my little sister to call his house and tell him I was there and to give him the number of my payphone. The intervening ten minutes were some of the longest in my life. I was so scared he wouldn't answer. When the phone rang, I pounced on it.
"Hello?" I asked breathlessly. When I heard the answering voice I knew something was wrong. It wasn't him. It was my sister.
"Um…are you okay? I mean are there people around or anything?" Her voice sounded awful and I knew I was going to hate what she had to say.
"Steph, just tell me!" I nearly shrieked into the phone.
"Okay, okay. Calm down." Impossible, but I said nothing. "So I called and a lady answered the phone." She stopped.
"And? What happened???" My voice was trembling now. I knew this was going to be the worst news ever…
"And I asked if he was there. She asked who I was. I told her that I was Steph, your sister. And she said your name in a really, really not nice voice. It made me feel creepy but I said yes, your sister. And then, well… she…" Again she stopped.
"Just please fucking tell me, STEPH!"
"Okay, okay!" She was crying now – and so was I, although I didn't yet know why. "Okay, so…she said…she said….oh, please don't make me tell you this, Rob!!" She was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Steph, please just…just tell me."
She sniffed long and hard. "She said I didn't need to call there anymore and neither did you because he got married a week ago." She was crying so hard by then that I could barely understand her.
"He what?" I asked, in a whisper.
"He got mar–rrr–iiiieed!" she wailed.
I just stood there staring at the phone in my hand.
"I have to go, Steph. Now."
"Wait!! What are you going to do??"
"I'll get a flight. I …just….I…can't talk. Gotta go. I'll call when I get home. Bye."
I hung up the phone and literally slid to the floor in a puddle of misery. Clutching my purse to my chest I wailed like a banshee, heedless of anyone or anything else. Attendants from one of the counters came over to me to see if I was alright. To this day I couldn't tell you what I said, what I did, or how long I sat there waiting to catch a flight home. The next thing I knew, I was back here and my mom and sister were at the airport to pick me up. I don't even know how they knew I was back. They were just there. I went home with them and didn't leave my room for a week.
Unanticipated scenarios. They always fuck you up. That's what is scaring me about going there this time. But…I have to try one more, one last time. I gave up before and it has cost me nearly thirty years of a life with him.
I don't have any illusions that I will go there this time and he will suddenly decide he can't live without me for real. He has decided that his love for me was the evil in his life and it ruined everything else for him. Which I suppose I understand in a way. In a way.
But go I will. I'll get there on a Saturday, late morning like I always did, and go where I always stopped first. I have some flowers to change and some headstones to talk to. Then I'll spend a night where I went last spring break. Maybe even drive to the spring we visited – if I can figure out how to get there again. Maybe this time I won't be able to hear the thunder in the water because maybe I'm not pure of heart anymore – if I ever was. And then I'll stay where I stayed the last time I saw him for a night – two if I can stand it. Then I will sadly wend my way home.
I hope I will see him. I hope, no I pray, that God, in His infinite kindness, will make it so I at least get to say good bye in person. My best scenario is me with the flowers, making things pretty and he drives up. He fusses at me for coming there, is angry with me. But then he hugs me and kisses me gently on the lips before going away.
More than likely, though, it will play out like that fucking trip to St. Louis. That day-late-and-a-dollar-short trip. The worst trip of my life.
But maybe not. I can hope, can't I? Even if it's stupid to do so, can't I still hope, a little, that he will know I am there and talk to me? In two weekends, I'll be there.
Please pray for me. Ask God, Jesus, Mary, Buddha, Muhammed, L. Ron Hubbard, whomever you believe in, ask Them to be kind to me just one more time.

..... is going fast now that I am feeling so much better than I have in months. I feel the need to get so much done before chemo round 3 on Monday. This week has been split up between running Will around to buy his necessities before going to boot camp on Saturday, sewing a few projects and working at the college to get all the soldering projects completed before start of semester. Very productive without trying to wear myself out.
I am taking eye drops this week for eyes that are getting infected from the sinuses that threaten to break out into a full blown infection if I am not careful. I do not like taking medication if I do not have to but at this point, I cannot risk any infection which is why my family is camping for a few days and I am at home taking care of the pets and working at the college. I feel like I am missing out and Max knows this as he sends pictures of their activities....so far, they have water skied with Chris Hadfield (astronaut) and gone camping without me because of risk of infection as a result of bug bites. The mosquitos are vile this year with the cooler wet weather. West Nile is once again in our area, so after the sun goes down, I must head in. My friend Pat has given me a number of natural products which work exceptionally well to reduce the swelling and prevent scratching if I do get the occasional bite. Magical elixirs!!
This summer has been the absolute worst for weather.... there were only two weeks this summer that the heat reached into the high 30's and then, just as quickly as it came.... the heat disappeared and the fall like weather continued. Ten years ago today, there was the historic blackout in North Western Canada and the States which took 10,000.000 Canadians and about three times that number affected south of the border. Three days of quiet, dark nights when you could see an astonishing number of stars in the night sky without the constant interference from the city lights. What a wonderful time spent with family and marveling how little we missed the TV during those days. I worked in TV at the time and we still put on a show regardless of who could or would see it. We ran on generator to operate the essentials of broadcasting and lighting. I remember the sweltering heat in an old building without air conditioning. One of my co-workers knew about a hidden door behind the staging in the old studio and opened it up to get air circulating in the building. We continued to use the back up generator as did other major businesses who had them, in order to reduce the stress and demands when the system came back online. My youngest was only 1 year old at that time. We lived in an old house which had poor air circulation at the best of times. Before the outage, I had installed an inline fan, used in farm applications into the attic opening and put a window air conditioner in the opposite end of the house. I could run both simultaneously- the fan would draw the cool air up into the upstairs taking the ambient temperature from a balmy 103 degrees to a cool 78 degrees in a matter of 30 minutes. The boys discovered that the draw of the fan was such that they would stand underneath it and release toilet paper and whatever else the fan would draw up into the powerful updraft of the rotating blades. Max would later discover the items of deployment when he had to climb into the attic one day to remove some insulation and check for mice. That summer of the blackout, we were sleeping on the living room floor as the temperature upstairs had become unbearable without the fan. The evenings were spent out on the porch chatting with neighbors and anyone else that walked by..... the quiet and the peacefulness of three nights without power had enough of an impact that we would leave the lights off for nights after that.
I headed out to the college this morning packed with a lunch and all the necessary components to get our projects completed today. On my way in from the parking lot, I sang out good morning to the parking attendant removing the coin box from the pay parking lot. I looked at his face closely when I recognized his voice. "Mike?" "Hello Marita!!" Well, my goodness, I haven't seen Mike in about 7 years since we moved from our old neighborhood. "it's not the same there without you", he states and then proceeds to let me know that he has been following me on the news reports over the years. This morning I have worn a headscarf to keep my head warm from the cool morning breeze and I announce to him that I am once again in the journey. He wipes tears from his eyes and apologizes. Yes Mike, I miss you too and thank you for your kind words of support and offer of help....I have been blessed with many phenomenal neighbors and he makes me realize that my current neighbor issues with the bully across the street are totally unimportant in the big scheme of things. The old neighborhood is not the same... my house is now a rental with the barest remnants of a garden in contrast to a beautiful well manicured garden when it was mine. I used to take care of all my elderly neighbor's needs in gardening and lawn maintenance....most of them have passed away now or moved on. I used to be the lady the neighborhood kids would go to whenever they needed help.... rescuing baby ducks and relocating them into the coves with the mommy duck flying overhead and within eyesight of the 10 babies jumping up and down in the recycle box from my porch, bandaging little cuts and running a wounded child to emerge with a traumatized mother, playing one-on-one basketball with the Native kids who threw rocks at my house (long but good story), canning vegetables with my neighbor and long-time friend Brenda....twelve years of memories and great neighbor friends. My neighborhood here is great too and we have many close friends here as well. Part of me just wishes the nasty neighbors across the street would just move away.
The past few days have been spent at the college getting ready for the new semester with new electronics projects. I always go through everything to refresh myself with what the students might experience along the way and how to troubleshoot their projects as they build them. This year, it is Sara and myself building multiple projects to come up with the best layout. I love working in the lab and we worked continually with a very short lunch so we could get back to the task at hand. I have almost everything in place.... just now getting all the lecture notes started. I am getting really excited and can't wait to get back into the classroom!!! Sara is amazing and we enjoyed chatting and singing along to the radio while steadily working away.
I left the college and headed to Sarah's house to have a quick bite of dinner and to see Miss Payton. Wow, she is just growing in leaps and bounds as she came to greet me at the door. Trust me to completely rial her up within minutes. Peals of laughter and tickles as she turns into that 3 year old that needs a quick time out... testing boundaries and trying to assert herself. I have to smile but wary as to not encourage her. Mommy Sarah is tired these days as she is now into her third trimester. Baby is growing fast. Sarah needs a break and calls her mother-in-law to see if she will take her. She will and after supper, Sarah drops her off while I wash the supper dishes. I head off home to take the dogs out. Sarah picks up Chai Lattes on her way to my house. We have decided to work on finishing the quilt we started before she got pregnant. I have two sewing machines, so while she worked away at her quilt, I made myself a bag and broke two needles in the process!!!! I am out of needles so now I assist Sarah in getting her quilt done.
William has called on his way over to the house. The moving truck will be at his place tomorrow afternoon to pack up his belongings and to put them in storage until he finishes his training. Sarah has brought a gift for Will. She had her mother-in-law engrave two dog-tags with his name and military trade on them and a keychain clip. Really thoughtful and timely gifts. William stays for an hour and then wraps himself around her before leaving and tells her how much he loves her. She has always been a part of his life all these years since he was 7 months old.... and now Sarah stares up at him and wishes him good luck. She loves him like one of her own. Ironically, she shares the same last name as him. They hug again and he heads out to go back home to get ready for tomorrow. I try not to be emotional when Sarah and I discuss him leaving.....I have caught myself being tearful a number of times over the past few weeks. I know he will be fine, I will miss him dearly.... he is not my baby anymore.
I should probably head up to bed.... morning will be here soon and my appointment with the lab vampire and oncologist. I will remember to park somewhere safer? in the hospital parking lot. I will dedicate this blog entry to all good neighbors.... the ones who care and respect each other. The ones who lend a hand, advice and friendship in the true sense of the word. Thank you to Sue and John, Mitch and Brenda, Kevin and Ruth, Marg, Ian and Laura, Lynda and Murray for being really good neighbor friends!! Sending out love and hugs to each of you and to those neighbors I left behind from the old neighborhood. xoxo

Waratah: One comment about this article as it stands without taking up the exact challenge.
The use of the term "criminal justice system" to refer to the "Criminal Law System" is a way of whitewashing the grave injustices which occur within the system.

The Truth About Private Prisons
Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the nation's largest operator of prisons for profit, is celebrating its 20th anniversary throughout this year "at both the company's corporate Nashville office and at all of the more than 60 prisons, jails and detention centers under CCA ownership and/or management."
New National Study of Corrections Corporation of America Warns Investors and Legislators of Risky Investment. Report explores continuing operational and financial problems; questions CCA's long-term viability as states reassess prison policies.
Finally, States Release The Pressure on Prisons?
US: After decades of massive prison growth, America may be ending its love affair with incarceration. Policymakers around the country, some of whom previously supported ratcheting up punishments, have begun to rethink the wisdom of unbridled prison expansion, and are advocating alternatives to simply "locking them up and throwing away the key."
California Parole System Deemed 'Broken'
SACRAMENTO, Calif: California spends $1.5 billion annually on parolees who mostly fail and are sent back behind bars because they are no better prepared for life on the outside than the day they entered prison, according to a report.
People with Mental Retardation in the Criminal Justice System
Based on the 1990 census, an estimated 6.2 to 7.5 million people in the United States have mental retardation. Various studies have suggested between 2 percent to 10 percent of the prison population has mental retardation.
USA: With Cash Tight, States Reassess Long Jail Terms
OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 6 - After two decades of passing ever tougher sentencing laws and prompting a prison building boom, state legislatures facing budget crises are beginning to rethink their costly approaches to crime.
After a war waged by the U.S. military against Vietnam which took the lives of more than 3 million Vietnamese people and more than 58,000 GIs, the U.S. finally withdrew in 1975. It had suffered its first official major military defeat by a united people struggle led by the Vietnamese, along with a mass U.S. anti-war movement.

Solitary Confinement: Mental illness in prisons
As noted earlier, inmates [prisoners] with mental illness are over represented in our toughest prison settings. Symptoms of mental illness (i.e., delays in response time, paranoia, difficulty interpreting the actions of others, command hallucinations, and so on) can make complying with prison rules difficult.
Post-Incarceration Sentences
Pat: "The 1990s brought a new front in the war on drugs, featuring a new layer of the Prison Industrial Complex, which has the effect of ensuring that people coming in contact with the criminal punishment system remain within the grasp of the Prison Industrial Complex even beyond prison walls."
Inside Prison, Outside the Law
Every year, tens of thousands of prisoners in state and federal custody are attacked. The exact number who die is difficult to determine: According to the nonprofit Criminal Justice Institute, in 2000, the most recent year for which figures have been compiled, 55 prisoners were murdered, 39 died "accidentally," and 118 died for unknown reasons.

College Student Moving
Moving For College in Raleigh, NC
Moving for college is a milestone for any family, so let Wofford And Sons do the work so that you can spend your time with family and friends. We're a family-owned company in Raleigh, NC, and we understand what a big move this is in every way. Our goal is to make the whole process affordable and efficient so that you can have some peace of mind.
In Good Hands
There's so much planning involved during a transition like this, so we'll do everything in our power to make it easier for you. We want you to feel confident that your student's possessions are in good hands whether they're going to school locally or across the state. We're experienced with student housing moves, and we'll make sure that everything is in place and ready for their arrival.
If you're moving for college, leave the hauling to the professionals at Wofford And Sons. We're a company you can trust to get you through all of life's transitions without charging a fortune. Contact us to learn more about our services and availability. No move in the Greater Raleigh area is too big or too small for us.
I have had the pleasure of working with "Wofford and Sons" and their owner Matt directly on several moves. Some of which have been complicated and long as well as changes in the middle of them. Matt and his team of professionals have a 'strong' work ethic to serve in a professional, caring and punctual manner. You CAN count on what Matt says to be true throughout your move. He and his team have a demeanor about them that is calming even in a "storm"...when we all know moves are not pleasant! Without question, Wofford and Sons will always be who I will call on for ALL my moves in the future. You will make the right call by contacting "Wofford and Sons" for your next move.
A Great Experience
Ramon and Odell arrived at the job early and worked throughout the day on a moving project that included 40 steps to climb - never did they complain and were always respectful and focused on the task at hand. Matt, the owner, was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. At the end of the day, there were no scratches on the hardwoods, no nicks in the sheetrock and no damage to any furniture - what more can you ask! I would highly recommend Wofford and Sons for any move.
Excellent Service
Matt and his team really came through for us during my daughter's recent move out of a 2nd floor apartment to a house 30minutes away. They arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently, packing all items safely into the truck. We were very satisfied from start to finish.
High quality movers professional and friendly.
I needed some of my household items moved that were too big and heavy for me to move myself. I needed a moving company. I called several companies to get some estimates for my move. I was impressed with Wofford and Sons. I was impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of these movers. They were very respectful of my furniture. They took their time loading and handling my furniture. The estimated price was lower than the other companies and there was no increase to the price when the job was completed. I would recommend this moving company to everyone who needs a moving company. If I ever need to move again, I will use this company.
Pleasantly surprised
To be honest, I had never used a.mover before. I was willing to give this new-ish outfit a try. If they did well, it would be on the internet. If they screwed up, that would be on the internet too. Matt was easy to work with. The price was fair. They arrived on-time (actually, 10 min early). Everything went well and efficiently. Nothing was damaged. Very courteous. Would recommend them and use them again (but sure as hell hope I don't need to!

Reply to Corporate Edict issued by MIURA BULL CEO of SKRMR:
Office of Susan Derpantsoff Esquire
Dear Mr. Bull,
My esteemed client Lhorenzho has taken the liberty of forwarding to our office the memorandum/corporate edict recently issued by your management team.
It is apparently your corporations NEWLY adopted dress code.
This is but one more in a string of irksome scenarios created by your unpredictable management style Mr. Bull.
Might I recommend some evening business management classes at our local New Stanford university extension?
I must ask you at this point whether that dress code (attached) has previously been described in detail in any employee Handbook?
If so and if this is an amendment to that prior language, then any amendment by law has to be acknowledged by your employee base before it can be implemented.
Dress codes in general have to accomodate AND correlate to the type of work being performed Mr. Bull.
(I certainly see a potential problem on that point alone. More on that issue later.)
If this is NOT an amendment to a prior standard then you are required to ALSO first have written acknowledgement from your employees that they have received the latest iteration of your proposals and explicitly acquiesce to its terms and conditions.
If they are not employees and are considered "independent contractors" then your attempt to mandate restrictions as to attire will be even more problematic.
Speak to your own counsel for details and specifics regarding the legal permutations that position creates.
Although not explicitly stated, there is an inference in your edict that failure to comply with its proposals could result in disciplinary action and/or termination.
Is my clients position with the Screaming Hayabusas in jeopardy Mr. Bull?
That is a seminal question in any dispute of this type.
If not and you are instead relying on "peer pressure" from his fellow capsuleers to channel his fashion sense then you may be in danger of both encouraging and committing workplace bullying.
Bullying can emanate from an employers unreasonable insistence that an employee conform to specious and arbitrary standards!
That certainly appears to be the case here.
Lhorenzho should be afforded the opportunity to explain why he should be exempt from your rigid policies on attire.
We will do so at a later date under separate cover.
Be aware Mr. Bull that you are dangerously close to committing an outright discriminatory act if you persist on pushing my client into compliance.
He has stated to me in the past that you have mocked his desire to wear traditional Mexican garb such as sarapes and sombreros and that his request to wear a ZOOT suit at a recent formal affair was summarily denied!
Outrageous Mr. Bull and once again most likely discriminatory.
Also, as a followup to my comments earlier with respect to workplace employer sanctioned bullying, you are encouraged to enlighten yourself on some simple parameters as to what might constitute bullying behavior in the workplace.
This correspondence will touch on issues peripheral to the disputed dress code edict and also provide a framework for your edification and consideration as you contemplate future personnel actions regarding employee attire in your corporation.
One of the issues and a primary concern as I stated above is possible bullying.
In addition, your general corporate culture and milieu is also of concern, thus the broader nature of this communication with you.
This is not just about shirts and pants Mr. Bull.
But I digress.
In the TYPOLOGY of Bullying one of the sub categories is known as "DESTABILISATION".
This is defined as the tendency by an employer to assign meaningless tasks to a trusted servant.
Did you not ask my client recently to "fit thousands of ships" in preparation for another one of your numerous whimsical events?
Talk about a meaningless task.
My client is not a grease monkey.
Assign that work to one of your other flunkies!
It (destabilisation) also includes the tendency to constantly remind someone of their blunders, and setting an individual up for failure.
How often have I heard my poor client express frustration and anger at your constant chirping and harangues regarding his failures!
I have no doubt that ANY shortcomings attributed to my client can be directly traced to your actions sir.
Over time, your actions and omissions have threatened both his personal and professional standing and have worked to Isolate him from his corpmates and have exhausted him both physically and mentally.
Your zeal for creating an endless string of makework activities such as spurious CTA's and strictly enforced, highly questionable ship fitting standards that all but ensure he will lose his ships have caused him to suffer significant mental anguish in recent months. This has to stop Mr. Bull.
His recent 318 jump sojourn into dreaded NULL SEC was but another instance of your incessant bullying.
This trip was made ONLY because you insisted that he make the journey.
We will be requesting a written explanation as to why this was done.
You also ordered him to keep a "JOURNAL" of his travels, presumably so that you could plagiarize his material for inclusion into your less than successful travel agent venture.
Incidentally, in the very near future, you will personally be recieving an itemized billing for the cost of replacing his beloved LOKI ship.
All other costs associated with that ill fated trip will be collated and presented to you for reimbursement.
If I may be permitted to editorialize before closing I would like to add the following.
I must say I had heretofore looked upon you (at least based on reputation as we have never met) as more of a crude, gruff, unwashed and perpetually unkempt ruffian based upon the history provided by both my dear client Lhorenzho (he has never lied to me!) and the numerous sordid public stories that are constantly circulating in the press related to your activities.
That you consider yourself a couturier of sorts was indeed a surprise.
Is it possible Mr. Bull, that in your infinite arrogance, you dare cast yourself in the same category as legendary fashionistas such as Pucci, Rabanne, Halston, Armani, Cerruti, Vuitton and Klein!
I must say the gall of it astounds me.
Stick to your RIFTERS mister!
Your recommendations for space wear had me positively confounded and as a successful, fashion conscious, professional woman I was livid when I reviewed the material provided to me by my field investigator.
It is not surprising that your forum post did not include specific photos of the womens uniform.
My contacts in your corporation have discretely sent me a portfolio of your proposals.
Not since watching the movie "BARBARELLA" have I seen such tawdry looking "space" wear for the ladies.
Peek-a-boo transparencies and Lolita touches such as Knee-socks and chin strapped hats hardly constitute utilitarian space combat wear.
I am surprised stripper tassels were not also required!
Where are the functional multiple pockets and velcro?
The female pilots (both past, current, and future members) in your corporation are being seriously harassed sexually and lasciviously objectified!
You are being put on notice sir.
The EEOC and Labor relations boards have all been notified and actions are pending.
LULAC (League of united latin american citizens) and LA RAZA have also been contacted for investigation as to possible civil rights violations by you and your corporate management team.
In addition, we are at this time demanding information regarding the SKRMR workers compensation carrier as I intend to file through my qualified associate a workers compensation claim.
Please provide Lhorenzho an employee claim form immediately! I am afraid we must insist on a Caldari venue for any hearings on this work comp matter.
You are also advised that our office will be working closely with noted Chicano Attorney Pagaras Mucho, who has taken a keen interest in this case.
He is a highly successful attorney whose legal practice is now limited to cases of significant social value and impact.
Points that require reiteration:
You will stop ALL efforts to mandate uniform choice to my client Lhorenzho.
You will cease all efforts to humiliate him in front of his peers.
You will PAY ALL costs associated with his recent loss of LOKI cruiser.
The company WILL pay for the purchase and periodic cleaning of his "CHICANO ZOOT SUIT!" (5 suits minimum purchase)
You will provide him 25 pairs of STACEY ADAMS shoes per year. (He will NOT wear boots!)
He will not submit to uniform spot checks nor will he be amenable to recieving "advice" from Miura Bull or his agents as to dress code.
He will NOT submit to having his eyewear approved by your corporate optician.
He will NOT submit to company physical examination of ANY kind and therefore it follows that his TATTOO's will NOT be disclosed and/or reported.
You or your agent WILL provide to our office ALL personnel records (in all mediums) pertaining to my client Mr. Lhorenzho. (Return postage to be paid by SKRMR)
My client will not be required to participate in ANY CTA regardless of genre or cause. (Lhorenzho is loyal and patriotic by nature and does not need prompting to embrace a just cause for action!)
The Screaming Hayabusas (SKRMR) will provide a *350 million yearly stipend for maintenance of his non-combat gear. (to be defined later)
The MIURA BULL ADVANCED FASHION KOUNCIL (MBAFK) is not recognized or acknowledged and is NOT to spam advertisements to Lhorenzho's personal Emails.
Under NO circumstances are the MBAKF personal shoppers to approach or contact my client. (They will be deemed trespassers and will be dealt with severely)
Any SEMI-Autonomous Guard Units found near my client will be destroyed and remnants sold for scrap metal.
Susan Derpantsoff - Attorney-at-Law
*to be adjusted yearly based on cost of living index
