Razin's new toothbrush is here!
Ni la first time pakai berus gigi mahal-mahal (Retail price: RM42). Tapi sebab I've read good review about it, so try jelah.
Fyi, Baby Banana Brush ni diperbuat daripada 100% medical grade silicone yang takde toksik, lembut dan fleksibel. Comel tu of cos la kan... that what attracts me, the cute banana design.
And guess what, we both love it!
I for once, love it because Razin enjoys 'brushing' his teeth with it. And the unique banana brush can also be used as teether. The brush also teach my son to be independent... leh berus sendiri je. Tak risau sangat cos berus tu memang lembut. Very safe.
Maka, I don't really mind when Razin wants to brush on his own. Tak bagi kita tolong, dia nak berus gigi sendiri. Tak caya tengok video bawah ni... hehe
The one that Razin used in the video is the Original Baby Banana Brush.
Ni features dia:
The premier toddler training toothbrush was designed to be flexible and bendable so that
kids would not be able to injure their mouths on traditional hard plastic toothbrushes. The
medical grade silicone makes this brush durable and safe, while the small bristles massage
teeth and gums. This brush is intended for children over 12 months of age.
- 100% medical grade silicone
- Dishwasher safe for sanitizing
Now this one is better. Boleh bengkok-bengkokkan tanpa patah. Totally worth the price cos selain guna untuk berus gigi, boleh jadi teether jugak sebab the whole body is made of 100% medical grade silicone.
There's another one yang ku rembat!
Rembat sebab cute. Hehehe...
So cute, right? :D
Baby Banana® Brush: Teether/Toothbrush (4″ x 8″ x 1″)
These "a-peel-ing" handles are irresistible to babies (and parents). Babies love to be able to
hold this brush on their own, and the handles provide an easy way to loop a binki strap
through when kids need a little help. This version is intended for children under 1 year of age.
- Infant Teether and Toddler Toothbrush in one, with "peel" handles; able to hold a binky strap
- 100% medical grade silicone; dishwasher safe for sanitizing
Walaupun tulis untuk 1 year below, alaaa boleh je pakai untuk 1 year above. Hihihihi... Comel sangat! Yang versi ni harganya RM45.
And paling best, boleh ajar baby start pegang berus gigi cos dia ade pemegang dari 'kulit pisang' tu. ^___^
Razin punyer yang bentuk ni belum rasmi lagi... tunggu dulu...
Your child's dental health is your responsibility, so apa salahnye belikan berus gigi ni for your lil ones. They sure will gonna love it. :)
Sila klik Mama Rafique's blog entry about child's dental health di SINI. It's true... we as parents yang kena ajar our babies on hygiene.
Lagipun awal-awal ni la kena jaga-jaga... risau gak kecik-kecik abis cepat reput gigi dia kalau tak jaga...
Panduan pertumbuhan gigi bayi.
Razin sume gigi dah ada kecuali 2nd molar and gigi taring (canine).
Kalau tengok chart atas tu, gigi taring dia coming soon la.. hehe
(Lagi sakit la kalau kena gigit!)
Baby Banana Brush ni would be available soon at other baby boutiques.
Mama Panda Store will also sell these beauties soon. ;)
Taking pre-order now. Do email me ya. Thanks!
p/s: Spiffies also will be available soon. Email kalau nak order ya =D

One of the most interesting articles in April's edition (yes, we in Malaysia are a deprived lot, receiving the month's edition at month's end mostly!) is that by Juliette Dodd on painting children's faces - one of the most difficult subjects to draw.
In this issue, Dodd shows the way of how to proportion the face in seven steps. Not only are you taught to draw front profiles, but side as well, and these are requirements if you ever hope to draw portraits well and not doing Mickey Mice or Potato Heads!
Another interesting feature I find in this issue is David Bellamy's tips on making your watercolours sparkle. If you are wondering how Bellamy makes his subjects stand out via hilights, this issue will show you how. And oh, there is also an exciting version on keeping sketchbooks - everything all of us aspire to do but never quite get down to it.

Hi. I have been following your blog ever since discovering it. Thank you so much for helping us to avoid buying cheap, harmful shoes.
My right foot is my "problem" foot. I have broken four toes--independently of one another on that foot. Ironically, the pinky toe is the only remaining toe that hasn't suffered a break. Knock wood. :)
I've had surgery to remove the dying joint in the toe next to my big toe. I'd been a runner for two decades, and a surgeon promised to get me running again within weeks if I consented to the surgery. Had the surgery, but my running days are long behind me. I can't walk without pain--much less try to run.
Since the surgery, I have broken two other toes. The last break resulted in me having "Morton's Neuroma."
In September 2011, I was wearing a cute little useless pair of black flats. I was walking from my living room to my kitchen when the cheap shoes caught on the carpet in an odd way. I went airborne for a second and landed with my right foot under me. I suffered what my doctor called a "Crush Fracture." I had to wear a boot cast for quite some time. At my age--57---my bones heal very slowly.
Now, I live with constant foot pain. I see the cute shoes and sandals offered by shoe manufacturers, and KNOW I cannot wear them. I am unable to stand even a half inch heel on any shoes.
Thank you again for your wonderful blog.

Dear Moonchime,
I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through so much pain and disappointment!
Please go to my search block and put in "My feet hurt" as I have an article on the top 10 things you can do to alleviate foot pain. I also have an article called "Shoe recommendations for patients recovering from Lisfranc's fractures" that should be helpful to your situation.
Some shoes you should try:
RX Crocs with the strap to the back around the house
New Balance 928
Danskos Professional clog (major department stores carry them)
And, not that I recommend that you continue running, but you might want to try the Hulu One One running shoe.
I wish you luck!

What a great post, however, it leaves me feeling even more depressed than usual about my feet! If you, a professional, can not find what you're looking for, how are the rest of us supposed to?
Question, please. I need a 41.5 in most Euro shoes (and a 9.5 in Crocs). These sizes do not exist. I'm guessing you'll recommend "going big," but the reality of doing so is shoes that are sloppy and slide around on my foot, requiring me to clench up my toes, defeating the whole point of wearing rigid shoes with backs. Thoughts?

Hi Elizabeth,
Don't be depressed! There are lots of good shoes out there - they are just a challenge to find. And I do find shoes that I love - I just have to search for what works for me and I have to make sure that I modify my shoes for different activities.
With RX Crocs, because they only come in whole sizes, you need a size 10. If your toes are hitting the front, they are too big. If the next size up feels too big, that is the right size. The trick is to wear the strap to the back so that you don't have to scrunch down your toes and I only recommend using them as house slippers around the house (unless you really love them and want to wear them all day long, which is alright also). However, most people are going to need better shoes for all day walking.
Seriously, don't be depressed. There are so many good shoes out there!
You can go to the search box on the blog and look up:
1. Top 20 Comfort Dress Shoes (there are 2 lists)
2. Top 20 Comfort Sandals
3. My Feet Hurt - top ten things to do to alleviate foot pain

Hi Cathy! I want to thank you for the shoe recommendations. I feel hopeful that I may actually be able to wear shoes that don't cause foot pain. Thank you, again!~

Had to chime in here - during the Great Shoe Hunt of 2013 (ended in a pair of Taos oxfords and Dansko mary janes, thank you so much for the post on dress shoes!) people would look at me with a straight face and say "why not just get some cute little flats so your feet won't get tired?". Is everyone just walking around in pain and I'm the only one who won't?
Two questions:
Have any of your patients complained to you that since Dansko's production moved to China, the instep of the professional clog is too low? They pinch across the top when I try them on which was never a problem in the past. I got some Sanitas but they just aren't as good as my old, disintegrating Danskos. Ariat had great motion control but only moderate arch support and I couldn't get my orthotic inside.
Have you looked at and rejected Orthaheel sandals, or have you ever found a pair you like? The Wolky and FitFlop are comfortable but I didn't like the styling.
Anyway, keep it up!
- June 4, 2013 at 4:21 AM
I, too, welcome your thoughts on Orthaheel flip flops (Tide, for example). My local podiatrist outfits her entire family in these for the summer -- but I think you're not a fan?
- June 4, 2013 at 7:42 PM
- Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes. said...
Hi Jennifer,
I have noticed that since Dansko production moved to China, some of the dress shoes are more flexible in the forefoot area, which I do not like. I didn't notice the problem you noticed but I am not surprised. Even with the 'same' shoe, I notice that there are subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - changes that are made over the course of several years. I assume this has to do with design changes, attempts to decrease the cost, and a myriad of other factors. This is one of the reasons why I always advise patients to test each shoe individually because shoes do change and sometimes there are simply 'broken' or sub-par shoes.
I don't like the Orthoheel sandal as much as some other sandals because the forefoot area is too flexible. I LOVE their arch support BUT the forefoot area is has too much flex, which causes problem for anyone who has Hallux Limitus, Morton's Neuroma, hammertoes, capsulitis, bunions and a wide variety of other issues. I don't feel that I can recommend them because there are so many other far superior choices in sandals.
I know that many Podiatrists recommend Orthoheel flip flops and sandals and I agree that wearing them is far better than walking barefoot or wearing flimsier flip flops but I truly believe that there are no good flip flops. If your feet hurt or you are having knee, hip or lower back pain, in my opinion, a major part of alleviating the pain and slowing or stopping the progression of the damage is getting hardcore biomechanical control of your feet. Your feet are your foundation. Protecting your feet with proper shoes will allow you to stay active longer with less problems. I wish I could recommend the Orthoheel sandals but, until they have a forefoot area that does not bend and flex (and cause constant microtrauma across the forefoot structures and therefore cause cumulative wear and tear to the joints and soft tissue structures) - I can't recommend them.

- Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes. said...
Hi Elizabeth,
Orthoheel flip flops are one of the better 'types' of flip flops, but I've come to the conclusion that there are no good flip flops. In my opinion, every time you scrunch down the toes to stay in the flip flop, you are promoting hammertoes and other forefoot deformities. Also, if you don't have biomechanical control of the midfoot and rearfoot (which the flip flop doesn't), you are forcing all your tendons, muscles and joints to work harder, which causes mechanical strain and, over the course of time, promotes the chance of injury and damage as well as cause knee, hip and lower back pain.
As I always say, you can line up ten doctors and get ten different opinions and they may all be right - it's simply ten different ways of approaching the same problem.
My work day would be much easier if I could tell people what they want to hear but, by the time a patient comes into my office and is in pain, they are not forking over their hard earned money to hear what they want to hear - they are paying me to tell them the truth and to help get them out of pain so they can get back to enjoying life.
And the truth is, in my opinion, flip flops are bad.
- June 8, 2013 at 12:33 PM
Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I'll skip trying Orthaheel but I found a positive review for Abeo in your archives, I'll try those.
You're totally right about the Dansko dress shoes by the way - I tried several on and the flexion was noticeable and uncomfortable. If you haven't tried it, I thought the Dansko Becky had great control and kept the weight off my forefoot.
Thanks for the blog, it's a great resource!!
- June 8, 2013 at 8:58 PM
I was wondering if you could tell me if you recommend Umberto Raffini
Brand of shoes for women. I have had foot problems for years with no real diagnosis. I have stiff big toes aching feet. I can give myself charlie horses if I curl my toes. I need a good dressy pair of shoes. The Walking Company sells these shoes. Thanks for your time.
- June 13, 2013 at 7:33 AM
This is so helpful - thank you! This is probably a dumb question, but how can I tell if a shoe has arch support? - or the sole is thick or rigid enough? - Is there a minimum measure of thickness required? Thank you for having this blog! Also, I saw this article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2338506/The-pain-heels-guide-How-feel-like-youre-high-heel-heaven.html and was wondering if you could offer any insight as to whether or not it contains any factual info. Anyway, thanks again!
- June 13, 2013 at 1:57 PM
I have been wearing Dansko for a month but by the end of the day my feet and legs are killing me. What other dressy shoe with maybe padding instead just a hard soul would you recommend.
- June 17, 2013 at 2:12 PM
- Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes. said...
Regarding the Umberto Raffini - some are good and some are not. Try any one of them that have a thick, rigid sole with no bend or flexiblility. Also, make sure that you get one with rearfoot control. I looked at the shoes online but I haven't checked them in person. If they have a thick rigid sole that does not bend or flex, they should be good.
Thank you for reading and I'm sorry about the delayed response!

HI 'Hurting Feet',
Sorry to hear the Danskos aren't working for you! Are you wearing the Dansko with rearfoot control? If it doesn't have a back, that might be why you are struggling with the shoe.
Other options are the Wolky Cloggy (closed or open toe), Alegria Paloma or Abbi, Wolky Blossom, Rx Crocs with the strap to the back OR you can always go with a black New Balance 928 that will blend in with black dress slacks. Let me know how it goes.
Hope that was helpful!

Hi Lisa,
Sorry for the delayed response!
In my opinion, the sole of your shoe should be about an inch thick and, through the midfoot area, it should have NO bend or flex. In the forefoot area, there should be MINIMAL bend or flex. As far as arch support is concerned, only custom-molded arch support captures each arch optimally. However, many over-the-counter inserts offer adequate arch support and you might have to try different kinds to see how they feel. Many Podiatry offices carry excellent OTC inserts and I would recommend that you make an appointment with your local Pod to try them on.
Regarding the article:
There's a lot of misinformation out there and this article is no exception.
1. Never buy online - this is false. I buy online all the time. I prefer to support local businesses but sometimes I don't have the time to shop and I prefer many shoes that some local stores don't carry. I often find I have a much wider selection online. I'd also like to point out that when I am buying online, I tend to purchase shoes that I am already familiar with. I use Zappos and other sites that have free shipping and free return. I prefer to try on the shoes but I also like brands that are hard to find in stores.
2. False! Wedges are better for your feet than spiked heels. Not everyone can wear heels based on their particular biomechanical foot issues, but wedges are better than spikes.
3. False. Budget shoes can work out well if you know what you are looking for. Years ago, I purchased a $12 shoe from Payless Shoes and they were the most comfortable shoes I wore for years. Shoes are an investment and spending more on shoes is usually a wise move BUT just because you spend more doesn't always mean you are getting a better shoe. If you are on a tight budget, you can find good shoes that are comfortable as long as you know what you are looking for.
4. False. Blisters are caused by poor and ill fitting shoegear and inadequate socks. The military has done extensive research on blisters and show that ALL blister products that you can purchase over-the-counter help your feet for one hour and then make everything worse. If you get blisters, you need better fitting shoes and better socks (i.e. socks with man-made synthetic fibers). If blisters persist, follow up with your Podiatrist.
5. True. Gel cushions inside of dress shoes can help increase comfort.
6. Sort of. They are recommending that you soak your feet in ice water. I would recommend that you elevate your feet and ice them for ten minutes on and off with a bag of frozen peas or ice pack. Also, I would recommend that if your feet hurt that bad after wearing heels, you need better shoes!
7. Ba-humbug! Within every shoe line - there are good and bad shoes. You can't say that "all Clarks" are good because some are and some aren't. You have to judge each shoe individually.
Hope that was helpful and thank you for reading!

THANK YOU Dr. McCarthy!!! - Your responses are so helpful and I really appreciate it!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!

I've had the same suspicions as you express in this post, plus one more: the minimalist design means cheaper manufacturing costs and thus higher returns. To my mind, there's nothing wrong with a company wanting to make a healthy profit on their products, but I get irritated when they frame the product as healthy (such as those 'barefoot' shoes that seem to be so popular with several companies at present) but which are in fact damaging. Those damaging products are often just as costly as a well-made shoe, too.
Thanks for letting me rant a bit! :)

Hi Ilegirl,
I totally agree. It's appalling that Merrell, who has built their reputation on making quality shoes, has completely jumped the shark by embracing minimalist shoes and passing them off as "comfort" shoes. It's a marketing ploy and they are doing more harm then they realize. Give them a year or two and hopefully they will wake up and start focusing on quality shoes again.
Thank you for reading!

Dr. McCarthy,
I recently discovered your blog and it has already positively impacted the quality of my life. I really enjoy it. That being said, could you help me? I am a poor grad student with limited insurance coverage which only covers sickness and injury.
I have at least moderate hallux limitus in my right foot, presumably from the mid foot fusion done to correct a chaotic lisfranc fracture. The my right knee is misaligned from meniscal tearing. Both, and my ankle as well, offer at least moderate pain after even just walking.
Adding to this, I have a surgically, installed rod on my femur to correct a chaotic fracture which also begins to hurt after brief activity. These injuries are not recent.
Do you have any advice for me in regards to shoes or equipment? I ask for specificity because the combination of these injuries makes shoe and equipment shopping difficult. Most things I have tried simultaneously alleviate and exacerbate any of the injuries; the sketches and MBT rocker shoes are an example of one. Currently I wear brooks adrenaline GTS 13 with custom orthotics. I also have crocs with a back strap.
I am embarrassed to beg for freebies from a doctor, but you seem very friendly and helpful. Everything hurts and I can't see a doctor. I also have a good story and some fun x-rays if you'd like some material for a blog post.
Thank you kindly. Apologies for the novel-length blog comment.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for reading! And thank you for the kind words.
I know what it's like to be a broke student! Try this...
Google: "RX Crocs, cheap" and see what you can come up with. This is what you should be wearing around the house as a bedroom slipper. You can also use the 20% coupon on the blog at the Crocs website for RX Crocs. You should be able to find them for a decent price. Spend this money!
Also, if you can't find what you need on Rx Crocs for the price you want, try getting a knock off Birkenstock sandal for around the house. If you get the Birk - get the sandal so that you have rearfoot control.
You're next investment is either the New Balance 928 or 1540. Just bite the bullet and get one of them. When I was in school, I bit the bullet and spent $95 to buy a pair of Professional Danskos and I distinctly remember the PAIN of spending the money but that was the shoe that got me through my residency and it was worth every cent! Without them I would have been in bad shape with foot and back pain.
Next, arch support. We have a great arch support at the office for $50 but I will give you the "student discount" and mail them to you at cost if you like. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will tell you what the cost is and then you can decide for yourself and, if you choose, I'll mail them to you. Email it to my attention and Susie will forward it to me on Monday.
Next, it sounds like you might benefit from an ankle brace. The best one, which you can get online (but it is a little pricey) is the Bioskin Trilok brace. If that is too much, you can get a less expensive brace - the important thing is to make sure that the brace comes down past your Lisfranc's joint so that you can limit motion where you had the surgery. I also like the Futura braces and, even though they don't come down past the Lisfranc's joint, the price is less and it may work well. You may have to do some experimentation to see what brace works well for you.
For sandals, if you have a hiking store such as REI around you, I would try on the Chaco Z1 or Z2 or a amphibious Keen sandal for beach wear (on the sand and in the water) and for summer use. Make sure that the sole is thick and rigid and that it has a rearfoot strap. Go with whichever one feels the best, assuming it meets the criteria for what you need - a thick, rigid sole with a wide base, arch support, forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot control.
For dress shoes, you are looking for a shoe with a hidden metal shank in the sole, a wide base, an extra-depth toebox and good rearfoot control. I got my husband the Dansko Wayne and my husband "likes" the style but "loves" the comfort.
For knee bracing, you may have to experiment with over-the-counter products you can get in the store or online.
If money is super-tight, spend it on the RX Crocs for around the house and the New Balance 928 or 1540 and then worry about inserts and bracing after you get the basics.
Hope this was helpful and thank you for reading!

Thank you for your wonderful blog. I've recently had my first (very painful) experience of plantar fasciitis and have abandoned most of my shoes :-(, which means I need to do some replacing.
I've been reading and reading all over the internet (your blog in particular) and I'm confused about what a rigid sole means. For example, I went to Zappos to poke around (I have no affiliation with them, but find their videos helpful) and searched on "steel shank".
Here's one of the results, chosen at random: the Clarks shoe called Levee Bank (see link below). The description on the site says "Steel shank provides increased midfoot support and lateral stability," which makes this sound like a good choice, but in the video the presenter bends the shoe to show how oh-so-flexible it is.
How can a shoe bend if it has a steel shank? I see this in many of the shoes that come up in similar searches and find it very confusing. Are these shoes good choices for someone with heel pain? Thanks much for your comments!

Hi! I have been really getting a lot out of this blog, and would like to know what your recommendations would be for me. Here is the background:
In February, I slipped on some ice and ended up with a comminueted fracture of my navicular. I was non-weight bearing a little over 4 months, and have now been told that the bone is healed. No surgery, but I have been using a bone stimulator. I also have "mild" RA that is getting worse. The RA has caused changes to the big toe joint in the same foot as the fracture.
I have always been a barefoot-birkenstock-or converse girl, but know I need to change. My Pod told me to wear superfeet inserts, but otherwise did not give any advice. I got the RX cros, even they don't seem to have enough support. As my main shoe, I am wearing Asics Gel Nimbus
So, my questions: (keep in mind that I have always been clumsy, and have a limited budget)
1. Can I still wear my Birkinstocks that have heel straps?
2. Can you recommend a nice-looking "teacher" type of shoe?
3. Is there any hope of being able to wear the Converse with inserts?
4. Any other advice you can give me to keep from reinjuring my navicular? I was told the RA, prednisone and methotrexate use were contributing factors, and also made me a poor candidate for surgery.
Thanks for what you do!!!

Hi Anonymous,
When it comes to steel-shanks, the question is: does the steel shank go all the way out to the toes or does it stop before the forefoot area? The steel shank that is best is the one that comes out as far as possible. Once again, the video that you are looking at is feeding into the misinformation that is out there by saying that a shoe "bending" is more comfortable - because that is what sells. You really need to find a shoe that does not bend of flex - even in the forefoot area - and that can be challenging to find and that is what this blog is about. The only (and best) way to check a shoe is to physically try to bend and flex it. I always request that patients bring in one bag of their favorite shoes so that we can go through and check them one by one because you can't tell how rigid a sole is by looking - you have to physically test it yourself.
Thanks for reading!

Hi Kim,
I've glad to hear you have the RX Crocs - they are for around the house to wear as bedroom slippers.
I would HIGHLY recommend that you invest in either a New Balance 928 or 1540 to wear as much as possible. Also, did your Pod check your insurance to see if your insuance carrier covers custom-molded orthotics? There is a good chance that they do. If not, Superfeet is one of the inserts that I do recommend. Having RA, you might need more cushion then the Superfeet offers, which means you may want to look at a Spenco or a Footsteps insert.
Also, Looke at the Dansko Professional with rearfoot control or one of the low heeled Dansko sandals with rearfoot strapping. Another excellent shoe is the Wolky - CLoggy, Tulip, Ruby or Jewel. These are a little expensive but they are an investment and will save you money in medical bills in the long run. The Wolky's have more cushion in them, which may work better for your RA, but you may have to judge that for yourself which one feels better.
Birk sandals are fine! As long as it has rearfoot strapping.
I know it's hard to go buy new shoes when you are on a limited budget, but I would start shopping now and you can always look online for better bargains or get to know the salesperson in the store and ask them to call you when the shoes go on sale.
Best wishes and I'm so glad to hear that you are healing!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions!
I have very minimal insurance that is maxed out for the year. I will look into the softer inserts you suggested. I am so glad that I can still wear the Birks- that made my whole day. Will try to get the 928's and some Wolkys or Danskos as soon as I can afford them as well. At this point, I am willing to make the investment not to reinjure myself!
Do you recommend wearing the Superfeet with the Wolky's or Danskos, or do you feel like they have adequate support on their own?
Thanks again!

I love your blog. Thanks for your willingness to share your information in helping others.
My question is... How are Off the Beaten Track shoes for planter fasciitis and sore big toe if bent too much.
Danskos make my legs hurt, I am wondering if I need more padding. I was looking at springfield shoe.
Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Kim,
You don't need the Superfeet in the Wolky's or Danskos - plus, I don't thing they will fit. The support in them is adequate.
Hope all is well and thank you forthe kind words!

Hi Anonymous.
Some of the OTBT shoes are very good (like the Springfield) but some of them are not good. If you stick with the OTBT shoes that have a thick, rigid sole that does NOT bend or flex and has rearfoot control, you should be fine. Stay away from any of them that flex.
You might want to try on a Wolky shoes like the Cloggys, Tulip, Ruby or Jewel. Danskos are not for everybody as they offer hardcore biomechanical control, which can be too much for some people.
Hope all is well and thank you for reading!

Glad to hear the Crocs are helping...

I have been wearing Dansko and saw on your blog that Alegria are a good shoe. They looked to have a softer heel than the Dansko. I wore them for a day and my feet hurt and my planter facitis was worse. My question is... does it take a few days for your feet to get use to shoes or being that at the end of the day my feet hurt that means they are not the right shoe for me?

- Doctor of Podiatry Discusses and Recommends Shoes. said...
Hi Tired Feet,
Did you get the Alegria with rearfoot control? If you got the Alegria without rearfoot control, that might be what is aggravating your plantar fasciits.
If your feet were fine in the Danskos and you are now in Allegria WITH rearfoot control and NOW your feet hurt with the Allegria - that might mean that the Allegria is not the proper shoe for you.
- July 22, 2013 at 4:01 PM
I have had the Alegria, and Dnasko with rear-foot control. I just tried the Wolky and the sewing hits my small toe. So nest question. Being that my Danskos make my legs ache by the end of the day... Alegria made my planter fascistic act up more. I am winding down to what to wear. Would it help at all to wear the Alegria with the supper feet insole? or do you think that it is just the shoe over all?
Again thanks for your willingness to answer our questions.
Tired Feet.

Hi Tired Feet,
Sorry for the delay in response to your question! If the Superfeet fit in the Alegria and it feels good to you - then wear it. I always tell patients that as long as you find a shoe that fits the four criteria AND feels good to you - then you are fine. Finding comfortable shoes can be a real challenge so hang in there and keep trying until you find what feels the best to you.
Have you gotten the RX Crocs yet?
With the strap to the back, the RX Crocs will probably be your most comfortable shoe. If you live in a cold environment - get the Croc Mammouth.
Hope all is well,

I cannot thank you enough for your blog. I have learned more in the past two hours than in the past six months.

Hi Doctor,
I am a 61 year old male with hallux limitus looking for inflexible shoes. I would like to know what shoe your husband found. I am wary of rocker bottoms, even the 'stable' ones. Thanks.

Hello Anonymous,
61 year old male with Hallux Limitus...
I would recommend that you get New Balance 928 for exercise. I purchased the Dansko Wayne for my husband, which is a casual loafer type of shoe that he can wear to work. He hikes in the 5-10 Camp Four, which works wonderful for anyone with Hallux Limitus and I make him wear his RX Crocs around the house. He calls me the 'Croc Fairy' because he says that when he gets out of the shower, the 'Croc Fairy' has magically left his Crocs outside the shower.
He has other shoes but those are his 'go to' shoes. He also wears his custom-molded orthotics in all of them except the Crocs.
Hope all is well!
Thanks for reading,

Proposed Canon
Bananastan is a Capital side that existed at the same time as the original kingdom of Faq. In IPTSF Text 32, Jillian states that it has a huge treasury, enough to fund Faq for a long period of time if captured. There was always money in Bananastan.
Real World References
Bananastan appaears to be a portmanteau of "Banana" and "-stan". A small country that has only a single economic support, usually agriculture based, is called a Banana Republic. After the fall of the USSR, a number of the Socialist Republics became independent countries. It is very common for those countries in the south of the continent of Asia, usually near the Himalaya Mountains to have the affix "-stan" as part of their names.
Bananastan is a play on Banana Stand, a reference to the television show "Arrested Development." Several of the main characters work at a sand that sells frozen bananas, the "Banana Stand." In one episode, the owner if the stand says several times, "there's always money in the banana stand," a reference to hidden cash in the walls of the stand.

Using the arts to explore social issues
In this workshop students will be gently challenged to consider the notion of homelessness through the use of the dramatic form. Students will be asked to delve deep and to ask themselves, what does homelessness mean to me, what does it mean to our communities and how can I make a difference?
Dr. Tracey Sanders has been working with young people and marginalised groups using drama for the last decade and has found that the expressive form is one of the most powerful ways to empower individuals, to change thinking and to understand how societal issues such as homelessness is everyone's business. Her message to the young people who do this workshop is that they have the power, the vision and the opportunity to make a real difference to the world in which they live.
Dr Tracey Sanders has been a teacher for over 30 years. She's been awarded numerous teaching excellence awards, and is a specialist in the areas of educational drama and applied theatre, and has taught at Australian Catholic University and Griffith University.
Dr Tracey Sanders has also been a teacher in Catalyst-Clemente program, which enhances the transformational learning opportunities and re-engagement of disadvantaged people within the community.

Romney runs risk firing zingers at debate
Denver --
Conservatives want Mitt Romney to come out swinging early, often and hard during Wednesday's first of three presidential debates with President Obama.
The Republican nominee's aides have packed his debate lunchbox with several zingers, which the Republican nominee has been rehearsing for months. Partisans want him to empty that rhetorical clip to show he's a fighter, and reverse the momentum of polls that show Romney behind as voters in 34 states are already casting ballots.
But an overly aggressive strategy might not be the best tack, debate experts say. Not yet. Not when the race is still close and polls show voters feel Obama is more likable and don't fully blame him for the sputtering economy.
While most likely voters are locked in to their choices, analysts call those who are just tuning into the race "low information voters."
Those voters don't want to hear policy recitals Wednesday. Their gut choice will be more informed by the style of each candidate over their substantive points.
"To come in too aggressively carries with it more danger than reward for Romney," said Alan Schroeder, author of "Presidential Debates: Forty Years of High-Risk TV."
Appeal to the middle
"He's already got the Fox News people," Schroeder said. "Now he's got to find a way to appeal to the undecided people in the middle."
Romney has the toughest of debate challenges: He has to be both aggressive and likable. He has to flesh out some of his policies with specifics, yet maintain a broad appeal.
While some left-wing pundits say the race is over, Romney remains within the polling margin of error in key swing states, and there is time left for momentum swings in the 24/7, Twitter-buzzed media environment.
But complicating Romney's task is Romney - the person delivering those momentum-shifting zingers.
As a challenger in his one 1980 debate against President Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan delivered a classic debate line - "There you go again" - that hurt Carter.
But to paraphrase the late Texas Democratic Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, the 1988 vice presidential nominee - and owner of perhaps the greatest zinger in debate history - Romney is no Ronald Reagan when it comes to smooth oratory.
"If Romney comes out zinging and they fall flat, then that could be even worse," said Nichola Gutgold, an associate professor of communication at Penn State University and author of "Almost Madam President: Why Hillary Clinton 'Won' in 2008." "You shouldn't try to be a comedian if it doesn't come naturally to you."
Instead, Romney, who is 14 years older than the 51-year-old Obama, should play the role of "elder statesman," Gutgold said. "Say you know the president tried his hardest, but it wasn't good enough."
Instead of continuing to run from his background as a successful businessman at Bain Capital, "Romney should own it a little," she added.
Romney debated 23 times during the GOP primary, so unlike other challengers he is unlikely to be awed by sharing a stage one-on-one with the leader of the free world.
And Romney is not afraid to go negative. He kneecapped GOP rival Newt Gingrich, who thrived in the sound-bite driven debate world, during a Jan. 26 primary debate in Florida, silencing Gingrich by mentioning the former House speaker's consulting gigs for mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Romney was the front-runner during most of those GOP debates, and largely above the fray. On Wednesday, that dynamic changes.
Obama's weakness
The good news for Romney, analysts say, is that Obama is not a strong debater. The president's forte is speaking on stage solo before a live audience.
It's been four years since Obama debated. Obama's answers during the 2008 campaign often sounded too professorial for TV, befitting his career as a law professor.
But Wednesday's format - where the respondent will have two minutes to answer the question, followed by a moderator-led discussion of roughly 11 minutes - may favor Obama.
"He seems more comfortable when he's explaining what is going on," said Aaron Zelinsky, founder and editor of PresidentialDebateblog.com, a repository of academic research and commentary on the debates. Zelinsky served as special assistant to the legal adviser of the State Department from 2010 to 2011.
Still, added Schroeder, "neither of them really gives the impression that they want to be up there debating. Now, with Reagan or Bill Clinton, it was a different story."
Debate details
The first of three debates between President Obama and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney will be held Wednesday at the University of Denver and focuses on domestic issues. It begins at 6 p.m. PDT and will be broadcast on news networks including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, HLN, FOX and MSNBC.

Sandals Royal Caribbean welcomes first Over-the-Water Villas
Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island in Montego Bay, Jamaica, has welcomed its first guests to experience the brand's flagship Over-the-Water Villas.
At the same time, Sandals has announced the development of additional Over-the-Water suites at new locations throughout the region.
Citing unparalleled demand and a drive toward continued innovation, the suites will be unveiled at select Luxury Included resorts throughout 2017 and 2018, including 12 additional Over-the-Water Bungalows at Sandals Royal Caribbean slated to open in March 2017.
"I have always said that being out on the water is where I am happiest, and with these suites, guests can experience a direct link to the Caribbean Sea," said Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, chairman, Sandals Resorts.
"Being first is nice, and as a category leader we've enjoyed a lot of firsts – but what is more important is that we continue to evolve, continue to innovate, continue to upend the notion of what an all-inclusive can be and of course, continue to exceed the expectation of our guests."
The first of their kind in the region, the recently opened Over-the-Water Villas at Sandals Royal Caribbean convey an intimate connection to the Caribbean Sea and represent a new level of innovation for the Luxury Included company.
Each of the five villas has a different design, representing the Feng Shui elements: Wood, Water, Fire, Earth and Metal, illustrated through unique elements from warm wooden pendants and underwater art pieces to mirrored and metallic accents.
Merging the interior and exterior spaces through multiple expansive glass doors, couples can admire the majestic beauty of the ocean from their private infinity pool, over-the-water hammock, glass floor panels or the suite's stylish king-size beds made from teak and adorned with soft Egyptian linens and plush pillows for the ultimate sleep.
Beyond the views, guests staying in the newly debuted Villas have access to unparalleled services and exclusive amenities from 24/7 butler service to personalised in-room dining, private yoga classes and direct resort access via a "Royal Duffy" luxury boat.
Located on the northern shores of Jamaica, Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island is a mere ten minute drive from Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport.

I'm having a simular problem where GE is only displaying square towers for the locations and no bounary limits. I'm guessing it's because of a lack of GPS data.
Is there anyway I can determine if it's because the GPS receiver I'm using (BU-353) is not outputing the correct data or if there's a problem in the conversion process?
If your using NS4 you can export the ns1 file out as WI-SCAN, then view its contents with notepad or similar editor. Look to see if you are recording 2 or more different non-zero coordinates for each AP.
Usually I've traced problems with insufficient GPS data to the wifi adapter's connection manager, whether it be WZC or other. Make sure your wifi isn't attempting to connect to various APs.

RSS Latest News – How to for Your Site
by SMD
I've discovered a couple new ways to play with RSS feeds to get the RSS latest news. This is the first method, I'll give the second one in a post later today.
The first of these comes from the IceRocket search engine. At first, it is an SE just like Google, MSN etc. however, there are two differences which can be very handy. The first is the "Blogs" search and the second is the ability to syndicate [pull in XML format] the results of the search. If you go here, you'll see the results of a search that I put together.
On the right-hand side of the page click the little XML button and you'll see the search results in XML format. Now you can take this XML and use it as a news page in your site: you can see the search result incorporated into my site here. I have it set to check for new headlines every hour.
Why would you want to do this? It is a decent service to provide for your visitors; to have relevant news headlines on your site. It is a good SEO move. Spiders like constant new content.
There are services like Moreover.com can provide a similar service, but the limitation is you must take what they provide, whereas with IceRocket I can customize the feed to be whatever I want. The downside of that freedom is you have to get heavily into the Advanced Search options to figure out how to filter all the RSS spam from your feeds.
If you have a site that doesn't have new content to it on a regular basis then I'd say something like this is certainly worth a try.

R v Thomas [1985] Crim LR 677
Sexual offences and indecent assault on children under sixteen under the Sexual Offences Act 1956.
A school caretaker was convicted on two counts of indecent assault on female students. The first count concerned an 11-year-old girl's allegation that the caretaker rubbed the bottom of her skirt and lifted it on two occasions, yet with no witnesses. The second count concerned a 12-year-old girl's allegation that the caretaker touched the bottom of her skirt and rubbed it whilst she was in the library. The jury had acquitted the caretaker on ten other similar allegations.
The first question concerned whether the testimony of other alleged victims of similar assaults can constitute corroborative evidence. The second question raised concerned whether the incident of touching a girl's skirt is capable in law to amount to an indecent assault for the purposes of the Sexual Offences Act 1956.
Regarding the first count, the Court held that the testimony of other alleged victims of a similar assault, which the jury acquitted, cannot constitute corroborative evidence to support the victim's testimony. Regarding the second count, the Court held that to constitute an indecent assault for the act must be either 'inherently indecent' or occurred in circumstances to allow an inference of indecency. The Court held that the nature of the act was not inherently indecent nor could the inference be drawn. The Court suggested that putting a hand up the skirt or touching limbs would be examples of an indecent assault. While the Court did confirm that the touching of the clothing without consent an assault, it held that it does not constitute an indecent assault under the Sexual Offences Act 1956 (ss. 14(1)(2), 15(1)(2)). Accordingly, the Court allowed the appeal on both counts.

YORK City will see an improved Levi Mackin next season according to manager Martin Foyle.
Midfielder Mackin, 23, was one of the Minstermen's most reliable performers during the run-in to the Blue Square Premier campaign.
He made 21 appearances for City after arriving on loan from Wrexham at the end of January. Foyle did not hesitate to offer him a contract when hearing of Mackin's release from Wrexham.
But, despite being pleased with Mackin's form last season, the City boss believes his performances will be even better during 2009/10 as he benefits from having a permanent base.
Foyle said: "Levi was fantastic for us and came on in leaps and bounds. He was one of our most consistent players, but I know there's more to come from him and we will see that when he moves into a proper house up here rather than the bed and breakfast he was living in last season."
Mackin has joined City after six years with Wrexham, where he made 67 first-team appearances.

Building a strong credit score isn't about having a credit card. It's about using the credit you do have wisely.
Build Credit Young
Build credit young is immensely important so that you do not have any problems in meeting your demands in later life. Lenders only give credits to people who either have a credit history, or take credit from the market more often. So, if you do not have any credit history or any ongoing credit from the market, it will be very hard for you to actually get a credit from lenders. But there is nothing to be afraid of. You would be surprised to know that about half the American population do not have a credit history and thus are not eligible for taking credits. Here are some of the tips that you must follow to build credit young and be assured financial assistance throughout your life:
• Get a savings account and start investing in some money management and growth schemes such as mutual funds and stock markets. Take a small credit from the market on any of the small domestic appliances and start a credit history. Your existence has to be shown to the lenders form you to build a credit score.
• A credit score is the basis on which a lender lends you money or credit. A credit score is completely marked on the basis of your credibility to pay your credits and the credit ratings your lenders have given you. The credit score is compiled based on the following parameters:
1. Payment History
2. Credit Usage as compared to the Credit limit
3. How long have you been taking and maintaining your credits.
4. How many different types of credits and the means of paying them.
5. How often do you inquire about lending from the market.
• Maintain a savings account and deposit whatever you have saved for a rainy day. In today's digital world, paying off your credit card bills and other expenditures is very hassle-free.
• If you don't have a credit card, apply for one. If you apply for a credit card early in your life, you will have a longer credit age and your eligibility for getting credits increases thus build credit young.
• If you are below 18 years of age, there is no reason to worry, as your parents may co-sign your account and thus you can have a savings account as well as a credit card even if you are below 18 years of age. Thanks for watching. Please help us grow.

"This was a great photography lesson. I was highly impressed with Jon's style and matter. He is friendly and clear. I had been confused about some fundamen
tal settings of my camera, and Jon walked me through all the settings, and gave a big view of how to use my camera creatively. I have some lessons to now try out what I learned and I'll be getting back to him once I test out my new understanding. I think this is going to make photography much more fun and purposeful. I highly recommend Jon no matter where you are on your photography journey. He clearly knows his stuff, A to Z!"

Everybody likes a little protein. Well actually, everybody needs protein to survive.
The average human needs 10-35% of their daily calories to come from protein. In total when looking at grams per day, a woman needs 46 grams of her daily food intake to be protein. That means each meal you consume should have almost twelve grams of protein in it. That is if you have four meals per day.
I know for myself I get a minimal amount of protein daily. When one does not eat as much meat as your average North American, it means you do not get all too much protein. Same can be said of iron.
Luckily for this evening's meal I've had more than enough to make me big and strong! I sure won't be revealing my Popeye guns of steel anytime soon, but my body will be somewhat happy with me.
So what's a good pre-summer meal that is jam packed with protein?
A delicious salad with chickpeas and broccoli of course!
Now I first had this salad in the heart of summer last year. It was a lovely day to enjoy a cool salad and a glass of chilled wine with the sun just dipping behind the house. It was also my twenty-first birthday.
(That's how I remember the last time having eaten it, it has nothing to do with having a freaky memory like Carrie Wells from Unforgettable)
The salad was a hit at my birthday, so much so that my picky sister even liked it! I realized from that evening that she likes chickpeas a lot, so now I know that it is safe to make meals with chickpeas for her.
The recipe is super simple and ends up with a fantastic salad which I found here.
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 broccoli head, trimmed and finely chopped (about 3 cups)
- 1 400g can chickpeas, rinsed
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
In a medium size bowl whisk together feta, yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic, and ground pepper. Set aside.
Chop broccoli until crowns are in small pieces and add to feta mixture.
Add chickpeas and bell peppers and mix until all is coated in creamy feta mixture.
Eat alone or serve as a side dish.
I had my salad with these star shaped pumpkin nuggets.
I'll have enough left over that I can enjoy the salad on its own tomorrow as a lunch. Deeeelicious!
This salad is so good that I wanted to go for seconds, but I was just so full that I couldn't actually go through with eating more.
It really is filling and gives you the protein you need.
You really must try this salad! And if you are interested in knowing more about amounts of protein needed on a daily basis here is where I got my information.
Eet smakelijk!

Suzhou River (2000)
Review #1,083
Director: Lou Ye
Cast: Zhou Xun, Jia Hongshen, Hua Zhongkai
Plot: The river Suzhou that flows through Shanghai is a reservoir of filth, chaos and poverty, but also a meeting place for memories and secrets. Lou Ye, who spent his youth on the banks of the Suzhou, shows the river as a Chinese Styx, in which forgotten stories and mysteries come together.
Genre: Drama / Romance
Awards: Won FIPRESCI Prize (Viennale).
Runtime: 83min
Rating: PG for some sensuality.
IN RETROSPECT (Spoilers: NO)
The Chinese "Vertigo" if you will, Suzhou River eschews Hitchcock's alluring, continuity style for a more unpolished aesthetic. It is the aesthetic of post-2000s cinema – gritty, disjointed, schizophrenic even. It is such a raw style that pushed writer-director Lou Ye to the forefront of a new Chinese cinema, represented by what we come to know now as the 6th Generation.
A key work of this period, Suzhou River calls to attention the post-millennial syndrome, exploring issues as diverse as fractured memories to a collective psychological displacement. Modernization throttles on, but Shanghai where the film is set, remains caught in a continuous web of stasis, troublingly linking a forgotten past to an unknown future. The people are indefinitely displaced, stuck in a loop.
In essence, Lou's film hints that we are not free. By centering his narrative on a man who loses his love, but after some years, believes a woman who looks like his lost love to be her, Lou tells a cyclical story in which there is no ending, except one of reproduced fable and myth. It is the myth of (and for) our time.
Zhou Xun, in one of her early breakthrough roles, plays the woman in both incarnations, highlighting not just her acting versatility but also projecting herself as separately innocent and sultry. Like Kim Novak in Vertigo (1958), she is a mystery and a complication, an embodiment of the aforementioned post-millennial syndrome in which the trace is missing. Perhaps only when lost, can one be free from his or her own trace, to which one can then regain a new foothold in a world of ghosts.
With quick cuts and a shaky handheld non-digital camera (it was surprisingly shot in 35mm), Suzhou River works as both a thriller and a romance drama. We see snapshots of a post-industrial Shanghai – there're smog, dirty rivers and urban decay. It is a progression through regression, and as far as Lou is concerned, he provides a not-so-pleasant commentary on the State of affairs in his native home.
Widely regarded as the controversial director's career breakthrough, Suzhou River is surprisingly risqué-lite; a far cry from his provocative (perhaps more well-known) later works like Summer Palace (2006) and Spring Fever (2009). It is, of course, no less compelling.
Verdict: Lou Ye's breakthrough is a risqué-lite affair, shot in a gritty, disjointed style that pays homage to Hitchcock's Vertigo.

Last weekend saw the official opening of the first Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) in Mid Deeside thanks to the efforts of local groups.
Councillors, First Responders and other members of the community gathered at the Ambulance Station in Aboyne for the opening of the life-saving equipment on Saturday March 7.
In 2014 BARA successfully applied to the British Heart Foundation for grant assistance with the installation of a defibrillator.
The defibrillator, which has been named 'Bob's Box' after local man Bob Milne, was made possible thanks to a generous donation by his wife Roberta Milne of the Bellwood Area Residents Association (BARA).
Roberta was accompanied at the opening by their son Malcolm Milne.
Members of Mid Deeside Ltd (MDL), Mid Deeside Community Council (MDCC) and BARA also attended the ceremony. The community groups are working with the Tarland and Mid Deeside Community First Responders to install more PADs in the area.
The First Responders and Dr Jack Taylor are providing free training sessions in CPR and the use of defibrillators.
All three Ward Councillors showed their support and Pipe Major Ian Smith of the Ballater Pipe Band played for the occasion. Rev. Frank Ribbons said a few words.

Trying to find out the Dart Rail route from Ft Worth to The Kessler.
It's only been around for five years, but the intimate performance space has racked up numerous awards for best live music venue in DFW. Patrons love the phenomenal acoustics, great seating, and full-service bar. Housed in an art deco building at the corner of Davis Street and Clinton Avenue, the space has come a long way. Thirty years of vacancy, fire, and tornado left a big scar on what was once Dallas' premier picture show, but after a world-class revival, it now sets the bar for great performances.

Parish street meetings in Taita
May 2014
Eileen McParland
Following Pope Francis' call to get out on the streets, the Education in Faith and Evangelisation Team in St Michael's Parish Taita Lower Hutt decided to do just that.
Before getting to know people from the three parishes we are to amalgamate with, we wanted to strengthen bonds with our people and to promote neighbourliness.
Parish priest Fr Pat McCullough, Tokelauan community catechist Eneliko Tovio and group coordinator Eileen McParland visited about 25 homes each week covering the whole parish over the eight weeks and about a quarter of those invited responded.
The meetings aimed to strengthen the faith commitment of the regular churchgoers, to encourage those who have left to look again and to welcome anyone who would like to be a Catholic. As a result, one woman was received into the church at the Easter Vigil and two or three people have returned.The meetings began at 7pm with introductions, sacred song and prayer. This was followed by an address on being Catholic and the importance of the Eucharist. Fr Pat or Eneliko then invited the people to stand and renew their baptismal vows. Testimonies, questions and comments followed and a talk about the amalgamation of Taita parish with Naenae, Avalon and Lower Hutt. There was also discussion on earthquake strengthening. The meetings closed with supper.
Comments, ideas and suggestions will provide material for followup and parishioners will receive feedback through the parish newsletter.

Latest News
My teen and I don't often see eye to eye. First, I suppose she would argue that it is hard to see eye to eye with someone like me who has ten heads. At first, I didn't feel so bad about her belief that I have ten heads. I mean ten is better than one right? Ten heads would give me ten brains right? Which means I should be a lot smarter than her. But for some reason when I am talking with her I often don't feel smarter. Or at least I don't feel like she thinks I have any brains whatsoever. So having ten heads must not be a good thing. If I was smarter than I am I probably would have known that before now.
Second, she is – being a young, hip (is this current word?) person – much more aware of things right? She knows what is going on in the world. She watches valuable TV like Law & Order, Scrubs and Baby Daddy, surfs reliable news sources like Yahoo News, and is way more computer savvy – at least when it comes to Instagram and all things social media - than I. Thus, her opinion should be very valuable and mine should be – well if you are a parent of a teen you know – mud.
But this week as she was trying to fill me in on something regarding pop culture and fashion – specifically what a "frat boy" was - we stumbled upon something we both felt strongly about - internet pornography.
Who knew right? Who knew that we could have the same soap box, especially regarding the internet which teens think is the Holy Grail and those of us raising teens often view as a necessary evil.
But I digress, back to what a "frat boy" is. Apparently, this a young – often buff – man who is dressed in the requisite pocket t-shirt, sunglasses, Rainbow flip-flops and Chubbies shorts. I of course had no clue what Chubbie shorts were - and don't even mention it if you are older than forty and know because that will just make me feel even more stupid and out of touch – so my teen reached for my smartphone to search for a picture and show me. But she hesitated, sharing that with a name like Chubbie in an internet search something more sinister might pop up on her search. Alas, I knew exactly her concern. Years ago I had searched for the innocent key word "girls' dresses" and I was introduced to all myriad of women definitely not wearing girls dresses.
So the conversation digressed quickly from frat boy fashion to internet searches.
"Just this week," I told her excitedly, "the Brits passed a law further shielding their youth from the smut out there. Now, the owner of the internet service – such as the homeowner with internet – must 'Opt In' with their internet service provider if they want to receive pornographic images over the net. Otherwise, when you search or try to access pornography you will not be able to because it is blocked at the internet service provider level. Automatically!"
Amazingly, she turned to me and said, "Oh! I love that! I want that! I hate when I search something and get stuff like naked people!"
Who said Mom didn't know a good thing when she saw it. Who said that teens know nothing and just want as much freedom on the net and on TV as possible? Get busy Congress. Surely this is something that most of America can agree on.

No deal is imminent but the Grizzlies and the Heat have discussed a trade for Mario Chalmers.
The Miami Heat and the Memphis Grizzlies are discussing a potential trade for guard Mario Chalmers but no deal is imminent, reports ESPN's Marc Stein.
After playing in a team-high 80 games last season, Chalmers underwent right knee surgery in May to repair an inflamed Plica.
Chalmers is in his eighth season with the Heat after being selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2008 NBA draft and being traded that same night to Miami in exchange for cash and two second round picks for the 2009 draft. He signed a two-year deal to stay with the Heat in July 2014 and is guaranteed $4.3 million for this season.
Chalmers has come off the bench for the first three games of the season and is averaging 6.7 points and 1.8 assists on the year.

You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
Hi everyone, The day after Messenger Day rolled out globally I was able to reverse engineer the private API that Messenger uses to fetch your friends' stories so I hacked together a quick little page that lets you view them on the web. Simply sign in with Facebook, (no extra permissions needed - the app only needs your access token to authenticate the API request) and voilà, your friends' Messenger Days are magically there. It might be boring if only 2 of your friends have a story on their Messenger Day (like me), but hopefully Messenger Day catches on. It took Instagram Stories a while to catch on. Speaking of Instagram Stories, I made a similar web app called Matcha that lets you view Instagram Stories on the web (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) and Chrome IG Story which lets you view them in Chrome (https://www.producthunt.com/post...). Thanks and I hope you have a great (messenger ) day!
@calialec Downloading is borderline creepy, haha! Nice hack! Been using the Chrome IG extension.
@binoyxj Hahaha, true. I've learned from Chrome IG Story that a good chunk of my users really love the download feature, so I decided to add a visible download button by default on each Messenger Day story. People love hoarding "ephemeral" moments 😛
@calialec Heh! Don't settle. A product to share the same stuff to all Stories/ Day app in 1-click is what I dream of 😄
@binoyxj Awesome, this is something that @freddieiboy and I started working on a few months back. Here's a little teaser: https://devpost.com/software/moc...

A simple case of acquisition has turned two marijuana companies—Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSE: ACB), (OCTMKTS: ACBFF) and CanniMed Therapeutics Inc. (TSE: CMED), OCTMKTS: CMMDF)—into the biggest adversaries. And while the two opponents are engaged in this conflict, the holders of these marijuana stocks are caught in the crossfire. The question is, which side will emerge victorious once this battle is over?
Aurora and CanniMed have been fighting like cats and dogs since November last year.

March 23, 1916. The first time that Jack Johnson was boxing in Spain. The match took place at the Grand Theatre. The Madrid crowd moved in droves to attend the first public appearance of Jack Johnson in Spain. The Grand Theatre was filled to overflowing, and in their best appointments lyrics. The diverse audience was like a small representation of Madrid society of the time: aristocratic, military, politicians, priests, artists, small businessmen, journalists, shopkeepers, workers, peasants… Even went to a stage Don Alfonso, son of King Alfonso XIII.
On the theater stage was placed a platform as a ring and, to lengthen a little more the spectacle, they projected a series of comedic short films before starting the evening itself. The nephew of champion, Gus Rhodes was the first to jump on stage in the company of Kid Johnson, a Canadian wrestler who often employed the same name as a black boxer who act in Barcelona. This night was the Rhodes debut as professional. The fight did not have much interest.
Later, slowly, as the big stars, Jack Johnson went out to the scene. In the spotlight he looked impressive: big, strong, slightly flat of the nose and of shaved head. The appearance of his opponent, the Jamaican fighter Frank Crozier, drew applause and more than a joke about the black that would be white for the champion. The Jamaican made clear that it was there to do a simple exhibition. His blows scarcely were raising air in the proximities of Johnson, who, for his part, it did not also demonstrate any hurry to attack. But the public started getting impatient and Jack chose to feign a more aggressive attitude.
The press thus described the combat that marked the first time that Jack Johnson boxing in Spain: «Only one time Jack unloaded a good blow to his adversary in full face, which was enough for Crozier rolling on the floor, where he remained for some moments as rugged. The panic that caused him to the Jamaican this serious mishap was such that after throwing on the floor two more times to contact Jack glove, did warn the public that, feeling short of forces withdrew the tapestry.»
When the spectators sensed that the show was over, they started protesting. In the stalls, a fiery call to mutiny. Jack Johnson reacted rapidly and announced an exhibition with his sparring partner: Gus Rhodes. And with a series of strength exercises, Jack Johnson completed his first boxing match in Spain.

240 FLIGHT WORLD BEATER: John Cunningham taxies past the enclosures before taking- off to beat the 100 km record. Below) The large crowd in the members' en- closure watch the high speed turns over ' the airfield. The Racing at Lympne. .. closed circuit. At 3 o'clock promptly Paul Godfrey took off in the B.A. Swallow, and it seemed to be a hope- less task for the T.K.2, as it started on its first lap, to catch up with the Swallow, which by then was well round the second lap. Porteous in the Chilton and Filling- ham's T.K.2 flew on for a further lap in an attempt to beat existing class records for the 100 km closed circuit. Both aircraft were successful in this, the T.K.2 averaging 178.33 m.p.h. and the Chilton 123.72 m.p.h. The winners of the Folkestone Aero Trophy were Paul Godfrey in the B.A. Swallow at 99 m.p.h., followed by Mr. Moseley in the Tipsy B, with the Chilton third. In order to work up to the crescendo of the high-speed race, the Tiger Moth one-class scratch race followed next. This proved to be an interesting affair with much, more atmosphere than the previous race. The Tigers went off in a mass start and flew over a ten-mile course for four laps, during which time they were not out of sight, although only when they crossed the airfield was it possible to distinguish the leaders. The winner was Mr. F. Kirk, who just managed to maintain a lead over W/C. Arthur. The Start The high spot of the afternoon was, of course, the Lympne High-speed Handicap Race. First away was Gordon Slade in the Fairey Firefly Trainer, with 6 min 51 sec start. He was followed, surprisingly soon after by Peter Twiss in the Firefly IV with 6 min 17 sec start. Again quite closely, Charles Flood took off with 5 min 54 sec start in the Firebrand, and the Spitfire VIII Trainer, flown by Guy Morgan, followed with a start of 5 min 9 sec. Bill Humble in his Fury then left, 3 min 28 sec ahead of the Vampire. At the end of the first lap the order was unchanged and the Vampire took off just as Bill Humble made a wide but very smooth turn over the airfield on completing his first lap. On the second time round the different techniques were quite distinguishable, and Slade, still in the lead, was making tight turns close in and losing very little ground. Peter Twiss, on the other hand, was coming into the corner closely, but overshooting slightly, and Flood was taking them in a more gentle sweep. The Spitfire Trainer, how- ever, was flown up to the corner rather wide and was then whipped into a steeply banked turn to cut off the corner. On this second lap Morgan's Spitfire was taking the home turn as the Vampire came round the corner at Hythe, and John Cunningham held the steeply banked turn in a wide sweep over the airfield to complete the first lap. Bill Humble then followed, and his technique was rather similar to Cunningham's, but, of course, not nearly so wide though equally gentle. In an incredibly short time the Vampire was round again on its second lap, having passed AIRCRAFT PARK: The machines for the High-speed Race parked in the front line for all to see.

Brynne Edelsten admitted she never had sex with Geoffrey Edelsten during their marriage.
The 34-year-old made the surprising announcement on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O show.
"We never had sex," she revealed.
Jackie, clearly shocked, asked: "Did he ever ask to do anything?".
Brynne responded: "No, he didn't, which was surprising to me."
Brynne married Geoffrey in 2009 and the pair stayed together for six years.
Kyle questioned who she was sleeping with if she wasn't having sex with Geoffrey.
"Okay Kyle, that's where myself comes in," she said cheekily.
She also admitted they didn't consummate their love on their wedding night because she got "so drunk".
"I just passed out and woke up alone,' she spilled.
Brynne and Geoffrey ended their marriage in 2014. He went on to wed model Gabi Grecko, whom he has since split from.
