Shoe Fetish
January 8, 2008 at 4:05 am Leave a comment
Shoe Fetish
I think I've entered into a phase of a shoe fetish, which within the stereotype of Woman in Her Forties would be normal. Someone once suggested that perhaps I really did have a lot of pairs of Keens. I naturally felt defensive, but maybe an alert of the quantity I owned became evident at the Big Sur Marathon whereby the Keen rep gave me a hat and a t-shirt for selling more shoes than he could just by me standing around saying how great they were. (Ooo, those rubber toes are great for all activities. You should see the roars of excitement from six year olds in the way I can kick those playground balls with those protected toes). I don't really get rid of my shoes. Old shoes are always useful for something. I have stages of tennis shoes; the pairs for walking clean on the pavement, then as they get older, become the stages of beach shoes, and the last stage is I let them become prey to the crawdads and rock scrapes in the Arroyo Seco River.
Okay, you know me: so Shoes. I must delve into the deeper significances. They really were the last items for me to hang onto of Russ'. He had his favorite TopSider boat shoes, and like me, would have a quantity of them, awaiting the cycle. He would wear them until the sole literally dissolved, and then out would come the next grouping to march through the ranks of hierarchy of activity. There was a brand new pair awaiting him in a box, and I sold it at a garage sale last summer, determined not to be negotiated on the price in honor of Russ. His sister took home a worn pair, the toes ripped out, her holding them sweetly with her tears, feeling his warmth through the indentations of where his feet once filled the space. His brother took the cowboy boots from the 70's, beautiful boots that he wore for those concerts they sang at in Colorado. How many items do we have that hold an impression of our existence? As children, we make handprints in plaster and proudly write our misspelled names, but those were not were not used. Shoes hold our weight, the connection between us and the soil, the place we came from and end up in. They hold us upright, they serve us function, looks, and sooo many books, plays, stories revolve around shoes. Think of Cinderella, the Red Shoe, Van Gogh's boots, magic shoes (click those babies together by the heels and you are home). So it's not just me: we all have a shoe fascination.
Ahh…back to my birthday. That's when I indulged in buying the new blue frilly skirt, and when I walked down the street in Carmel, I somehow wandered into a shoe store, found a pair of very high natural leather shoes on sale. I was told they were made for me, so I believed the clerk and bought them, and when I wore them to work the next day, the secretary was in awe of them, instantly named the brand and declared that I made a smart investment. Investment? That was new to me. This was reaffirmed when I wore them in Monterey the following weekend, was followed by two young ladies who just had to tell me what beautiful shoes I was wearing. Wow. By virtue of my smart shopping, I was not only accepted, but held in deep respect by a culture group who previously would never have noticed me. Oh, for the record, those heels are Frye's.
Over the holidays, my nephew declared that he wanted a pair of sandals. We were in San Clemente, so I suggested we stop off at the Rainbow Sandal Outlet. That was my source for shoes in the 70's when I was a beach girl (my podiatrist told me years later that he could tell that my feet had a lifetime of "little shoe encumberment." I thought I was wearing shoes). Oh, my gosh: memory lane. I was instantly attracted to the giant sized sandal in front of the shop, and I immediately spun into memories of me as a teenager, wobbling slowly on my skyscraper platform of brightly colored layers of foam. (Actually, that pair was not worn all that much for exactly the reason of putting myself into a physical disability. They eventually turned into garage sale material) Oh, the days of beach beauty. I couldn't resist: Giant Sandal and layered platform went home with me, along with memories of slipping sandy feet into new Rainbows while sitting on the wooden bench at the outlet, looking for the pairs that at least matched, and breathing that smell of rubber being cut behind the benches.
And so it goes…I am now ready and willing to enjoy a new phase of shoe indulgences for all and any reasons. Yay. A shoe fetish. Why not?

COINTELPRO: The FBI's Secret War on Black America
fyi, this starts with a response to my message board "signature" being a problem, because when we think any wack bullsh-t can be a problem, real problems whack us in the head.
see, that's what i mean.
this post isn't that long and all my sigs are the same and standardized across each post every time i change it. i even shortened my sig because people complained. i think that complaining about my sig is pathetic, but i can't just let people act pathetic, that's not my style and i don't want us to get taken out mentally that easily like that, so i changed it.
on your question, the fyi's above the picture are the content of my most recent post, i'm just letting you know what's happening at my latest "trial" at TTS. fyi, i think we're being attacked by spooks right before the G20 to make sure they take us out of the game, especially me and my former influence on the group, which could really help us get going if it was respected again.
COINTELPRO did the same thing to black leaders in the 1960's, or whenever someone was a good leader, they'd start a whisper campaign and try to turn their friends on them, so this is historically fairly normal, especially before an huge international summit where "police provocateurs" usually have a role. fyi, there's a great flick called "the fbi's war on black america" and others to check out.
finally, depending on what happens before, at the G20 and after, at least we'll have a record of the canadian resistance to the resistance. what TTS and most other (currently) impotent groups of "conspiracy theorists" usually prove is that they're just juries of paranoid peers. they don't trush each other: yet still agree on what's real. but, other than that, they're not going to get much done about "our" problems.
that means we have to. and, it's good to know that.
p.s. fyi, here's a copy of the aforementioned documentary, it's been on my myspace page since 2006 and will give you an idea of what tactics (or better) they might use during the G20.

Leggings have been around for ages but they have recently been revamped to look edgier and modern, but wearing them can be quite intimidating...and a few of you ladies have embraced this trend but in a very fashion no-no way, so here are a couple of tips to help you wear them in a flattering way: 1. Wear leggings in black or neutral colours.Black being the best because you can pair them with virtually anything. brown and gray are also very good whEn it comes to pairing up with other items while women with an eye for fashion have tried the multi-coloured legging look but its best not to go to colour crazy.
2. Do not wear leggings as trousers especially if you have jiggly assets(for lack of a better term).
3. Ballet flats or super cute doll shoes look reallly good with this look but avoid the best you can pairing leggings with stillettos...if you feel like you need to wear high shoes, cute wedges would be a great alternative.
4.During the cold season pairing leggings with flat boots is very trendy...just dont wear those fully sharp pointed boots cos that's a sure way to murder the leggings look (and that look is very two thousand and late)...trade in your sharp pointy boots for cow boy boots or some desert boots instead. 5. Metallic leggings look great for a night out in the town..at this point you can pair them up with a sassy pair of heels to bring your diva out.
Wet look leggings named so for the watery look they have are a great ensemble for a party or mad rave . ..and shimmery leggings add a fun element to dressing up for a party and they are great if you want to make a fashion statement.Images from google.

I hate crabgrass. But then, I also hate the word hate.
So, that was my minor dilemma yesterday morning, as I clawed at the small, hard, rocky patch of crabgrass I intended to replace with flowers. I was not in the best of moods anyway, having spent the previous hour trying to re-edit Broken Dolls amidst one whiney puppy (Jubie) who was not happy that she could not get into our bedroom to greet Stephen with a "good morning pounce." But he had a cold and hadn't slept well the night before, so I wanted to let him sleep in. The other culprit to my concentration was Bear, who couldn't decide if he wanted to be inside or outside.
Why not just put them outside, you might rightly ask? Unfortunately, we have a door to the outside in our bedroom, and if unsuccessful with their front door scratches and whines, they will promptly head to the bedroom door to scratch and whine – more disturbances to Stephen's sleep.
Anyway, back to hating crabgrass. Finally, I threw my hands up and decided morning was a good time to work in the garden anyway. As my writer friends might surmise, I was not very happy and figured I could take it out on the crabgrass.
As I stooped over with my weeding tool in hand, vituperatively grasping and clawing at the long strands of stubborn, virulent grass, I decided I hated it. However, that thought was immediately followed by, "Hate is an ugly word. Come on, you're a writer. You can think of a better one than that."
So, I imagined myself in Word, right-clicking on the word "hate" to get the synonyms. I thought of disdain and detest. Now that I have access to Word, here are a few that are listed:
Unfortunately, these are all nouns. I needed a verb.
So, in writing this blog, I checked out the "hate" verbs on the Thesaurus page of dictionary.com. Here are a few of those:
I like loathe. I LOATHE crabgrass.
As I gnashed my teeth with the thought, I decided hating-loathing-resenting-disdaining, was not a good frame of mind to be in at the start of the day. So my next thought was, "Come on Jan, think of something positive."
Hmmm . . . what could be positive about crabgrass??
Here's what I came up with:
1) A blog! There's got to be a blog in this somewhere! How long has it been since you've posted a blog anyway, you naughty girl?
2) A simile! There must be a way to use crabgrass as a simile in your writing.
Sachi knew her Christmas present had to be hidden somewhere in that closet, and like crabgrass, her curiosity spread to the deepest, darkest corners, insistent on choking out Mama's hiding place.
Not too bad, but perhaps a little contrived.
I continued to plunge my weed claw into the rocky soil, while earthworms squirmed around with every patch of dirt and grass I attacked. Though I tried to avoid the poor, squiggly creatures, a few became casualties of my war on crabgrass.
There was another simile. Editing my manuscript – removing clichés, wordiness, awkward dialogue, purple prose – is like pulling literary crabgrass. Though it all needs to removed, it must be done with care, lest I kill the "earthworms" to the story.
Boy, oh boy. Only a writer could come up with that one. And that made me smile.

TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Charlie Crist said Thursday he is crafting a plan to slash Florida's corporate income tax, which generates $1.7 billion annually.
The move could help solidify the governor's conservative credentials in his 2010 campaign for U.S. Senate, but the tax cut could be difficult to get through the Legislature given the state's projected $2.6-billion budget deficit for the coming year.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: People ask me about the California Lemon Law. Well, technically, the California Lemon Law only applies to motor vehicles, but people use it in the generic sense to apply to any product.
In other words, you call me on the telephone and you ask: "I have a motor home or a travel trailer or a boat, am I covered under the lemon law?" Well, technically, the lemon law applies only to motor vehicles, but the same protections apply if you buy another type of consumer product like a boat, or a jet ski or a computer.
So, the answer is: Yes, there is a law that protects you. Technically, it's not a motor vehicle, but people call it lemon law and I don't argue with that because I know when a consumer calls me, they use that terminology, and I'm comfortable with it, and I can help you.
If you have a question about the lemon law in California, you're not sure if the product you bought qualifies under the California law, please call me. I'm Howard Silver—you can reach me at area code 818-597-2610. I'm available to take your call, and it's a free consultation.

I think I've posted a version of this before, but I went through and made some fairly major changes. You can read the French original here.
I love this dream poem, with its almost cinematic imagery, by one of Quebec's truly great writers. It's so dark, so filled with sadness and bewilderment, yet, by the end, bears witness to the heart's miraculous optimism.
Tomb of the Kings
-Anne Hébert (Translation, Peter Garner)
My heart is at my fist.
Like a blind falcon.
The taciturn bird grips my fingers,
Lamp swollen with wine and blood,
I descend
Toward the tomb of the kings,
Only just born.
What thread of Ariadne leads me
Through soundless labyrinths,
Each step's echo consumed as it sounds?
(In what dream
Was this child tied by the ankle
Like a spellbound slave?)
The dream maker
Grasps the thread,
And bare footsteps come
One by one
Like the first raindrops
At a well bottom.
Already, the odour moves in swollen storms
Oozes under doorsteps
To secret, round chambers
Where box beds lie.
Drawn by the reclining figures' static desire,
I look with astonishment
Set into the black bones
Gleam encrusted blue stones.
A few tragedies patiently worked
Upon the breasts of recumbent kings
In the form of jewels
Are offered to me
With neither tears nor regrets.
Arranged in a line:
Smoke of incense, rice cake
And my trembling flesh:
Ritual, submissive offering.
The gold mask on my absent face
violets for pupils
Love's shadow disguises me with meticulous strokes
And this bird I hold
And laments strangely
A long shiver,
Like a wind that catches from tree to tree,
Stirs seven great ebony pharaohs,
In their solemn, ornate sheaths.
But it is only the depths of death lingering,
Playing out the last torment
Seeking appeasement
And eternity
In a light rattling of bracelets
Vain circlets playthings of another place
Around the sacrificed flesh.
Eager for the brotherly source of evil within me
They lay me down and drink of me;
Seven times I know the vise of bones
The dry hand that seeks to rend the heart.
Pale and filled with the awful dream
Limbs untangled
And the dead gone from me, murdered,
What glimmer of dawn could stray here?
Yet how, then, does this bird tremble
And turn its sightless eyes
Toward morning?

IN HER NEW cookbook, "The Taste of Summer," (Bantam Books, $19.95), Diane Rossen Worthington offers a collection of delicious menus filled with recipes that reflect California's summer bounty. Stressing that summer "is a season for indulgence and spontaneity, a time for casual entertaining," this accomplished cook and hostess suggests that "precious free moments are meant for enjoying the outdoors, not polishing silver, arranging place cards, or toiling endless hours in the kitchen." Of the following recipe for Chicken Salad with Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise, she says: "The Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise adds a sweet, mild pungency to this main course chicken salad. Toasted almonds and crisp broccoli give it extra texture.
CHICKEN SALAD WITH ROASTED-GARLIC MAYONNAISE 1/2 cup thinly sliced almonds 3 cups chicken stock 2 pounds boned chicken breasts (about 2 large whole breasts) 1 pound broccoli 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions or chives 1 cup Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon salt Dash white pepper 1 roasted sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
Scatter almonds on baking sheet and toast at 350 degrees until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. (Watch carefully; they will burn quickly.) Set aside.
In a medium skillet with high sides or in large saucepan, bring chicken stock to simmer. Add chicken breasts and simmer just until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove pan from stove and cool chicken in the liquid. When cool, drain chicken, remove skin and cut meat into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Place in large mixing bowl and set aside.

The wife and I regularly attend a straight sex club here in Texas. There's another couple who comes to the parties. They're very attractive. They get naked, they have sex with each other, but they don't play with others. Basically, they hang out with swingers, but they don't swing themselves. We think that amounts to prick- and twat-tease behavior on their parts. Do we have a legit beef?
Husband And Wife Together
No, HAWT, you don't.
The website for the sex club you attend emphasizes more than once that couples who attend are not obligated to swing or play with others. It would be unfair to extend an invite like that and then slap a "prick- and twat-tease" label on a couple who comes and doesn't play with others.
And just because this couple isn't swinging today, doesn't mean they won't be swinging someday. Perhaps after they see that swingers really do respect their limits — once they've seen that they're not going to be pressured into doing anything they're not ready to do — they'll become comfortable enough to start playing with others. Glaring at them from across the room, HAWT, will only serve to delay the arrival of that happy day.
Speaking of sex clubs: Recently, the Portland Press Herald reported about the closure of a club in Sanford, Maine, where opposite-sex-attracted adults were having opposite-sex sex in a building that was — THINK OF THE CHILDREN — kinda close to a public library that wasn't open when opposite-sex-attracted adults were gathering to indulge their sick opposite-sex desires. But, you know, still! Adults were having sex in a place that was kinda close to a place where children who don't have access to the Internet at home sometimes go to "read"!
The owners of the club didn't have a permit to operate an adult business in Sanford, and they're not going to get one, because Sanford doesn't issue permits for adult businesses, which means one more small business has been destroyed by burdensome government regulation. (Where are the teabaggers when we need 'em?)
Anyway, this quote from the police spokesperson in the Herald's report jumped out at me: "The officers were appalled at the number and variety of sexual acts being performed — and one of the officers has worked vice crimes — right out in the open where everybody was sitting." My goodness! Opposite-sex-attracted adults were having opposite-sex sex in front of, gee, other opposite-sex-attracted adults who paid to get in and wanted to watch. But at least the children of Sanford are safe from the adult sex parties that they couldn't attend and didn't know were going on until the details were splashed all over the front pages of a daily newspaper that's available for their perusal in the public library where they go to look at porn on the Internet.
Good work, everybody!
My girlfriend of four years cheated on me. I'm in college now; we've been dating since high school. She and a male friend hooked up four times when they were both drunk. This guy was supposed to be her best friend, and it turns out he was into her. I asked her once about their relationship, and she assured me that nothing had or ever would happen between them. That was a few weeks after she cheated on me. She rationalizes the events in a manner that makes her seem like she's not to blame and she constantly tells me how much she really loves me. Do I hook up with another girl and tell her about it?
Cucked Over College Kid
No, COCK, you don't hook up with another girl. You ask yourself this question: How many adults — people over 30 — do you know who are still with and/or married to their high-school sweethearts? The answer is either zero or approaching zero. A breakup was inevitable-ish all along, and now seems like a pretty good time to pull the plug. And while your girlfriend is telling you she loves you, and while she may still have feelings for you, she's slamming her hand down on the self-destruct button because — consciously or not — she wants out, too.

There will be a 48 hour strike at the Port of Dover next Tuesday. We're not talking about any old port here - we're talking about the busiest docks in Western Europe. Given that so much of trade travels through Dover, this strike could not come at a worse time for our nation.
The reason? The Dover Harbour Board want to outsource, or privatise, 200 jobs. And it is the thin end of the wedge. The Government appear to have been consulted on this and agreed. While privatisation may have benefits in many cases, in transport matters it clearly works less well - just look at our airports!
I do not agree with the privatisation of Dover Docks, on national security grounds (along with data protection concerns). Border security, like the army, is just too important. I think the Government should intervene urgently to sort out an unncessary mess of its own making. What were the Government thinking approving this measure?!
Here you can read about local news matters and what I've been up to. You can make comments too. I'd welcome your feedback, so please do feel free to comment!

Now, the loyal partisan as always, he faces reality, and urges a GOP vote:
At the same time, Romney and Huckabee ought to begin to note Senator McCain's lead and urge their followers to recognize that if they cannot come back they and their followers will have to come in and join the party's eventual nominee. Senator McCain would do well to make a similar statement though his lead is significant and his collapse unlikely. Putting Humpty Dumpty together again cannot wait for St. Paul. Each of the three need to strike some common chords again and again, beginning with why the GOP needs to retain the White House, regardless of who its nominee is.I'm not ready to buy in; "Invade the world, invite the world" is not my mantra. But it's worthy of note that Hugh the loyal partisan is finally seeing it like it is.

Hey guys, how much fun did you have watching Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor last year? It really was the pinnacle of boxing wasn't it?
Of course, it wasn't! Don't be silly, anyone with any amount of respect for the sport will know that fight was a joke the minute both men put pen to paper and decided to make last year's fight official. I respect that others will be inclined to disagree with that opinion.
But the debate about the legitimacy of the fight aside, what you can't deny was the hype and media circus which followed it. Like moths to a flame, we all lapped it up because if it's one thing 'Money' Mayweather and 'The Notorious' one is good at, it's getting you excited.
If this is the kind of thing you fight fans miss (I guess real boxing is irrelevant in these changing times) then you can cling on to a slither of hope as Mayweather posted a cryptic post on Facebook and Instagram which showed him smashing a bloodied McGregor in the face with what looks like a forearm/elbow blow – inside the Octagon of all places!
Obviously, it's photoshopped and anyone who's been following Mayweather's career from the start knows that he's the king of mind games and absolute trash talk (second to Ali of course), with previous victims including the late great Arturo Gatti, the Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton.
While Mayweather is 'officially retired' he has teased a possible return to combat sports, this time with an eye for UFC. His latest post could be considered his intentions to try his hand at MMA and a possible rematch with the 21-3 McGregor.
Certified Killa vs Certified Bitch
Posted by Floyd Mayweather on Sunday, 11 February 2018
McGregor ain't no slouch either considering the merciless trash talking and trolling he offered towards Jose Aldo and Nate Diaz.
The Irishman has already responded in kind to Mayweather's online taunts by posting a picture of him beating a Diaz 2016's rematch with a caption simply saying 'A real elbow in a real fight'.
Many would question why Mayweather would even entertain such an idea but considering the amount of bank both he and McGregor made from their bout last year (Mayweather earning $100 million and McGregor taking home $30 million) it certainly is a lucrative prospect.
Or it could just be Mayweather being Mayweather, 'Pretty Boy' Floyd is many things – one of them being an absolute troll who loves nothing more than getting under people's skins.
Would you like to see a rematch between both men again? Can you stomach another whirlwind tour of toxic male machismo and questionable trash talking for the sake of another fight which would inevitably fail to live up to the hype?
Or are you just hoping Mayweather steps into the Octagon so we can all FINALLY see him take an L – along with a long and overdue ass-whooping?
Sound off in the Facebook comments.

Removing snow ice and avoidable costs
Snow Plus president Steven Greenwald oversees 400 employees and 150 pieces of heavy plow equipment when the Windy City and nearby towns are buried in the white stuff. In 2012, the company was mired in manual processes for many of its tasks, such as scheduling snow removals, reporting and billing, and researching legal disputes,. This caused delays and down times and impeded snow-clearing operations, which gouged Snow Plus's bottom line.
Using customized wireless forms, navigation and mapping from JobNotes™ (a proprietary solution that Greenwald developed and will market this year in the United States), operators today can rapidly provide field updates, more quickly locate properties, review customized color satellite images and go over site documents and plans.
Drivers can also save time and give their managers more up-to-date information. According to Greenwald, the fleet management solution provided by Actsoft's Comet Tracker for GPS also lets supervisors know precisely where each piece of equipment is or has been, meaning more efficient dispatching. The uneditable GPS tracking history also provides vital protection in legal disputes. The history playback feature of Comet Tracker lets Snow Plus see what field crews are doing and streamlines routes to save time and fuel costs.

Meet Mumbai's cosplay medic, the man who cures costumes at Comic Con
If Spider-Man gets trapped in his own web or Hulk's bulk starts melting in the heat, help is at hand.art and culture Updated: Oct 22, 2016 09:00 IST
Imagine you have spent months planning to role-play as your favourite fictional character. After all the sleepless nights, overload of caffeine and spending all your savings to make a flawless costume, it's natural that you expect everything to be perfect on D-day. But what if your costume has a break-down? What if Spider-Man gets trapped in his own web or Hulk's bulk starts melting in the heat? At a Mumbai Comic Con, help is at hand.
Rohan Jain, 27-year-old cosplayer from Mumbai is Comic Con's official medic, ready to help with costume emergencies. "My kit includes nine kinds of tape – electrical, medical, double sided and magic, which is so transparent, so it doesn't show on a costume," he says. "I also carry a hot glue gun, Fevicol and industrial strength superglue."
Other items in his kit include contact lens solution in case your anime or fantasy eyes cause discomfort, pain-killers, muscle sprays, Band-Aids and make-up removal products for those who need a touchup or have had a skin reaction. When costumes are often larger than life, sometimes the disasters can escalate too. Jain has used Velcro, elastic bands and a humble pair of scissors to restore the magic. "If there is anything else a specific character might need, they let me know," he says.
Jain has been the saviour for cosplayers for almost a year, as the event's official medic, he travels to all the cities where the Indian Comic Con is held. "Once, I had a group of Avengers, surprisingly with Spider-Man and Superman too, who had broken all their props just before their stage appearance. Captain America was in two pieces. I pulled out my glue gun and set to work. They were happy and so was I," he says.
The idea of being a cosplay medic struck Jain when he visited the Sydney Comic Con last year. He was playing Subzero from the Mortal Kombat video game, and his costume malfunctioned at the last minute. "Subzero has a belt which runs on either side on his chest like a vest. Each side has a circle-like bolt in the centre, which I had fitted with electrical lights, so they turned blue when switched on, but the battery ran out and bulbs didn't glow," he says. A man with instruments hanging out from all bags he carried gave him a replacement battery and "my costume was complete again," Jain recalls. "I wanted to do something like that for the Mumbai Comic Con, so I requested the organisers to let me do this," he says.
Jain says he is glad he does not regret giving up cosplaying. "I like seeing fans dressed in their favourite characters and I am happy to help them in whatever way I can. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to run around to attend all the players, but there are always other non-participating players to help me," he says. His contact details are available on the Comic Con site, for cosplayers to contact him before the event.

"American Modern Architecture: Frame + Character in Hitchcock's Cinematic Spaces." A visually-rich presentation focusing on Hitchcock's penchant for filming suspenseful chase scenes, heart-stopping moments and romantic interludes against the backdrop of American modernist architecture.
Synopsis: With few exceptions, buildings played a pivotal role in each of Alfred Hitchcock's works. The popularization of Modernism after World War II, however, provided the director with a range of stunning design masterpieces and everyday environments needed to highlight the tension and balance unique to his cinematic storytelling. For Hitchcock, modern buildings visually and metaphorically presented the future in contrast with the past, in an era in which the public struggled to embrace the brave new world of the Space Age, Civil Rights, and the Cold War, and sought respite in a series of suspenseful thrillers at the cinema.

Congratulations Drs. Raymond Sturner and Barbara Howard, et al.
Posters Presented at The Society for Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics Conference 2016
A Child's Perceived Strengths and Challenges
The "Best and Hardest Parts" of Parenting
Congratulations Dr. Sturner!
Our own Dr. Raymond Sturner was honored by having been chosen to present an abstract at the AAP NCE in October and in December 2015 it will be published as an online e-supplement to Pediatrics.
"Recognizing that abstract presentation is a yardstick of success, the Academy is pleased to further support recognition and documentation of this achievement....." Sue Tellez, AAP.
"CHADIS has been a great timesaver and has improved the quality of the care that I deliver in the office. I used to have a large stack of paper on my desk, of questionnaires and surveys, that needed to be scored and evaluated. With CHADIS that paper has all disappeared because the parents complete those surveys and the scoring is done automatically and is imported into Office Practicum. That benefit in and of itself is worth the investment."
"Getting CHADIS is definitely worthwhile. If you were to take each of those questionnaires and buy them individually, at an online pre-visit basis, the cost is actually cheaper through CHADIS."
"My short time experience with CHADIS integrated has been great! It's a product that actually does what it says it will do! I am really liking this product! The discrete data elements and the ease of use have made the transition rather painless."
"We have been using CHADIS for 5 years. The recent interface between Allscripts Pro and CHADIS has had a positive impact on our clinic, for the questionnaires that are supported. Prior to the interface, almost 100% of our questionnaires were completed in the office. Now we are seeing an increasing percentage of questionnaires being completed at home. We find it is fairly seamless now. [This is a] significant savings of work and time…"
"Dr. Lindgren's patients access a cool web tool, called CHADIS, that allows them to help him screen for all kinds of conditions including developmental delays, behavioral issues, or even learning problems. You see, this doc is big into prevention. But it's hard to get the info he needs in a regular office visit since parents often have their hands full with a sick child. Now his patients can be way ahead of the game and parents love it."
CHADIS has been a really great resource for my practice. With CHADIS, I have access to a comprehensive list of screening and assessment tools. I can use the tools to accomplish multiple goals, including early screening and intervention. As a physician, I know that early intervention DOES WORK!
Treehouse Pediatrics has used Chadis as a part of its day to day operations for the past couple of years. We have found it to be a tremendous asset in our operational efficiencies. Parents appreciate the convenience of completing their child's developmental, ADHD, and asthma questionnaires at home, and it has proven to help make all of our visits requiring questionnaires run more smoothly. Furthermore, we appreciate the interpretation and documentation that Chadis provides for these questionnaires. We feel that Chadis has become an integral part of our operational efficiencies. We do not know what we would do without it.
"I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful opportunity…so so helpful for me to better understand my patient, and to have ideas on where to go next. So thank you so much for a really incredible opportunity to be part of CHADIS."

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to share my time with the hard-working member for Langley—Aldergrove today.
When I was asked yesterday to speak to the latest Liberal cover-up, I said, "Sure, but which one?" Was it the cover-up on the outlook and program expenses in the budget? In the budget, in spite all the added funding that the Liberals are throwing out there for DND and indigenous infrastructure and the added money for the student summer jobs so that they could finance anti-oil protesters, real spending over the five years, as outlined in the budget, has actually dropped.
We asked the finance department, but it had no answer; it was covering up. PBO asked the government how it was going to accomplish that; Liberals refused to answer. I thought maybe the cover-up they wanted me to speak on was the Liberal Phoenix fiasco cover-up, when the Liberals refused to release the fact that IBM, which they blamed consistently over the last couple of years for their mess-up, had told them explicitly not to start the Phoenix program because it was not ready.
I wondered if the cover-up could be about the UBS rogue trader cover-up. The government has told an investigator it will take 800 years to get all the information released under the Access to Information Act. Perhaps this is Panama papers 2.0 they are trying to cover up.
Could it be the infrastructure cover-up, the billions and billions of infrastructure money that the PBO cannot seem to find? The Liberals had announced $14 billion in 2016, but the PBO could only find about seven billion dollars in the last budget. We asked, but the government refuses to answer. Perhaps it cannot answer.
Could it be the combat ship cost cover-up they wanted me to talk about? The Parliamentary Budget Officer, when trying to cost out the ships—which he figures to be about $60 billion, although some experts are now saying $100 billion—had to go to the United States to get costing on the Arleigh Burke class of destroyer in the U.S. and bring that information back to Canada to extrapolate costs for ours because the government refused to release the information on the costing. In fact, the government has refused to release the details of the request for proposal to the Parliamentary Budget Officer. We do not know how much even the main contractor is going to be paid on a cost plus basis. Will it be cost plus 10%, cost plus 18%? We do not know, because the government is covering up.
One thing we do know is that the main contractor will be allowed to sole-source to itself on the shipbuilding. It could take a $100-million contract, sole-source it one of its subsidiaries, add the unknown markup to it, and ding the taxpayers.
We asked the government how it is going to police this issue. It says it does not have an answer. I am not sure if the government does not have an answer or if it just will not give an answer.
What about the defence spending cover-up? The Liberals have talked about a 315% increase in defence spending over the years. We have not seen that kind of increase in spending since the Korean War. Defence experts say it is impossible, given the government's current procurement processing capacity, so we know they will not be able to get to that. Perhaps they can protect us from North Korean missiles with more announcements and speeches.
It turns out that my staff wanted me to talk about the carbon tax cover-up. I wish they had mentioned it from the beginning, because it could have saved a few minutes. I have asked my team to be more specific in the future.
We have asked the government time and again for information on its carbon tax initiative, and every time we do, we are hit with lukewarm talking points that give us nothing substantial beyond the holding lines. We know the government has done the costing, because we had the report. What we do not have is all the hidden information behind the report.
If the Liberals are so proud of their record on this issue, why do they not release the redacted information? A failure to disclose information tells me that they are hiding something. If they are not hiding anything, they should just simply disclose the information they have. They say they want a higher standard of debate in this place, but they give us nothing to work with, nothing to debate, because they are too afraid of the consequences of their actions.
The carbon taxes are of massive public interest. They affect everyone. We have a responsibility as elected officials to debate and discuss the effects of the federal legislation, and this plan will have large ramifications across the board. It raises the price of home heating, electricity, groceries, and gas, but the Liberals refuse to tell Canadians how much this tax hike will cost and what it will achieve. We know it is going to add about 11¢ per litre to the price of gas, something I am sure that people in B.C. would love to hear right now, but that is not all.
About 51% of Canadians heat their homes with natural gas, and experts claim that the carbon tax will add about $260 per year. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation figures it is going to cost every family about $2,500 per year. Trevor Tombe, at the University of Calgary, estimates a bit lower, but it is still about $1,100.
I know people on that side of the House probably think it is not that much money, but $1,100 to $2,500 per family is a lot of money. Average family income before tax is $80,000 a year, so it is a 3% tax grab on pre-tax dollars just for the carbon tax. It could be rent payments, sports for the kids, university tuition. These are all things that Canadian families can kiss goodbye thanks to this costly plan, but the government refuses to come clean on it.
The environment minister told us that a price on carbon could have to go as high as $100 per tonne in 2020 and $300 per tonne in 2050 to meet the government's 2030 targets, but that is not just individual costs; the carbon tax will have a huge impact on Alberta's oil and gas sector as well. Last week, I had a round table with various groups from the energy sector, including academia, labour groups, business groups, and provincial partners, and it was clear that the biggest barrier to growth and economic prosperity in Alberta is investment fleeing from our energy sector and from the carbon tax. The carbon tax makes everything we produce more uncompetitive. It punishes places of worship and the not-for-profits. The Edmonton Food Bank, for example, is getting hit with thousands of dollars of added costs, and a not-for-profit cannot just pass these costs on to customers.
We met with the local cement industry. It is losing out on government contracts because it cannot compete with Chinese bidders because of the added price of a carbon tax. Let us just think about it. Taxpayers' money is going to a foreign competitor that has a horrible environmental record because we have handicapped our cleaner and local industries.
This is what Dr. Andrew Leach talks about when he refers to the carbon leakage. In the end, we are not reducing overall carbon emissions worldwide; we're just moving it to other jurisdictions, mostly with worse environmental standards. The energy sector needs job-creating policy and proposals, not more regulation and higher taxes to operate. Nothing drives away business investment quite like a commitment against business investment, such as we have seen with the government giving taxpayers' money to fund anti-oil protesters.
We have repeatedly asked how much the Liberal carbon tax will cost families, but the Prime Minister and the Minister of Environment have flat out refused to answer. If the government will not tell us the cost of its carbon tax, how can it expect Canadians to trust it at all? It is time to table the fully unredacted report. It is time to tell the House, and Canadians as well, what the carbon tax is going to cost Canadians.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer expects a full $10-billion hit to the economy because of the carbon tax. We have seen the GST on the carbon tax. It is a tax on the tax. It is costing Albertans, people in Ontario, and British Columbians a third of a billion dollars. My colleague from Langley—Aldergrove put through a private member's bill to stop this tax on a tax, but the Liberal government simply says it is not a tax but a levy, and it will continue to charge what it calls a revenue-neutral tax, which we know is a sham.
Again, I ask the government to table the full unredacted report. It is time to come clean. It is time to end the Liberal carbon tax cover-up.

California Golden Bears (5-4) at Southern Cal Trojans (6-3)
|Date & Time
|Thursday November 13, 2014, 9:00 PM (EST)
|The Line
The Line: Southern Cal Trojans -14 -- Over/Under: 72
|TV Channel
The USC Trojans and the Cal Golden Bears face off on Thursday Night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a Pac-12 college football matchup.
The USC Trojans are coming off of a bye after slicing up Washington State in their last game. USC is 6-3 for the season and bowl eligible but it seems like no one is eliminated from a chance to play in the Pac-12 Title Game. The USC offense is averaging 34.9 points and 458.9 yards and they are guided by QB Cody Kessler who has completed 69.7 percent of his passes with 25 touchdowns and two interceptions. Javorious Allen has been one of the top running backs in the nation gaining 1,124 yards and scoring eight touchdowns and catching 28 passes while Nelson Agholor is the Trojans top receiver with 66 receptions and eight touchdowns. The Southern Cal defense allows 22.6 points and 398.2 yards per game with 17 takeaways and 20 sacks. Hayes Pullard has 68 tackles, Leonard Williams has 54 tackles including 4.5 sacks, and Anthiny Sarao has 54 tackles. USC lacks depth and a quality Head Coach or they could have seen much better results this season.
The Cal Golden Bears have had a nice bounce back season after a rough go of it last year and they are a win away from being bowl eligible. The California offense has been exciting to watch averaging 41.9 points and 509.1 yards per game and they are led by QB Jared Goff who has compelted 62.6 percent of his passes with 27 touchdowns and four interceptions. Daniel Lasco has done a nice job carrying the football gaining 796 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns and adding 27 catches out of the backfield Bryce Treggs leads the Cal receivers 40 catches and five touchdowns. The Golden Bears defense has struggled allowing 39.9 points and 525.9 yards per game with 13 takeaways and 12 sacks. Michael Barton has 60 tackles, Michael Lowe has 55 tackles, and Cameron Walker has 53 tackles. The Cal defense spends far too much time on the field to be effective.
USC is 4-1 against the spread in their last five home games, 10-4 against the spread in their last 14 pac-12 games, and 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 home games against a team with a winning road record. Cal is 4-0 against the spread in their last four road games, 8-18 against the spread in their last 26 games, and 6-15 against the spread in their last 21 Pac-12 games. The favorite has covered the point spread in the last five meetings of these two.
The number here is simply too big and while I can see a high scoring gam, over 10 touchdowns just looks to be too hogh so it is a lean to the under. My stronger play is on who will cover the spread and I will post that in the Premium Area as well as on the App.

Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yurii Lutsenko said Monday at a meeting of the PACE Committee, Censor.NET reports citing Liga.
According to him, a special PGO department is now involved in character-testing of the prosecutors.
"The second direction is to create together with the American colleagues a special unit of the IG - Inspectorate General. It is being staffed through competition at this very moment. 99 candidates have already appealed for the post of its head. This agency will take instructions from the prosecutor general alone and will be authorized to carry out covert checks of reports on corruption or abuse by any prosecutor," Lutsenko said.
He noted that the Inspectorate General would act within the law and become the "punishing sword" to cleanse the system.
"I am confident that both these agencies will succeed in wiping out several hundreds of prosecutors of the current 15,000 members of Ukraine's prosecuting authorities," he added.

This week for VeganMofo it is all about memories, and today's prompt is favorite food memory. When I was a kid I started cooking for the family when I was about 10 years old and made this my own. It is a spin on a shrimp curry dish my Mom made. It is fast and delicious - and to this day when I see green beans or wax beans a a Farmer's Market, I have to pick some up to have on hand for this meal.
Of course, I don't use shrimp...I sub vegan shrimp, but you can also sub seitan or tofu. Put veggie shrimp in a bowl and rinse well then drain. I buy mine from a wholesaler in New York but you can find them at TJs or WFs as well. I like to marinade the shrimps 30 minutes or so in lemon juice - the acid helps tenderize them.
Add 1 can of coconut milk and then turmeric, curry powder, ginger, salt, pepper, and parsley according to taste.
Mix well and marinade another hour or so.
In a pan heat a little oil and add some fennel - once it heats up, add the shrimp (reserve the sauce) and stir fry quickly. Add the sauce and 2-3 cups fresh beans, simmer until the beans at a la dente - about 9 minutes. Thicken with a little arrowroot or cornstarch.
Serve over rice or grain of choice.
Feeds 4. Yum Yum.
