|The tag in the pot was a mispelling... and I think this is actually Centradenia inequateralis although I am not sure of this. This is apparently a tender annual in Canadian zone 5??? It is somewhat creeping, likes full sun, fleshy but not a succulent, and I am not sure if its in Onagraceae or not. Its obviously a southern US spp?

|Our datebase shows Centradenia inaequilateralis but there are no pictures. You could browse through the Centradenias and see if anything looks like yours. The flowers appear correct.

This is an extremely well plotted spy novel…it is a great read with strong and sympathetic characters struggling to maintain their humanity in the midst of the terrible events which engulfed China after 1949. The span of time covers the years from 1950 till 1989. The story covers Chinese labor camps and the bitter betrayals of the survivors. After reading this book, every reader will come to understand China and the Cultural Revolution better. On the human side, we are pulled into the impossible moral choices that those living in totalitarian societies have to make every day.
Outline: Harry Airton is an orphan of old China, the son of a missionary doctor caught up in the turmoil of Japan's brutal occupation and Mao Tse Tung's revolution. His childhood friend is Chen Tao. Innocently, they play together as children with games such as forging blood ties, until political tumult intervenes and Harry ends up being raised by an uncle and aunt in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. He trains to become a fisherman, but never loses his love for China or his yearning to return. We're with Harry again as a private soldier in the Korean War of the 1950s where his knowledge of the Chinese enemy and his subtle skill at dealing with them, bring him to the attention of Julian, a British intelligence agent. China is trying to build a nuclear weapon and Britain needs an agent inside to try and stop it. Harry, brooding, bright, ultimately dangerous, is the man they pick.
As the story progresses, the writer draws us through a tense and real world of betrayal and counter-betrayal that he also blends into a love story of both catastrophe and hope. The destruction of civilized life during Mao's Cultural Revolution are shocking and depressing; the horrific scenes inside China's labor camps bring you to a standstill with a need to pause for thought; and the final built up to the Tiananmen Square killings in June 1989 will keep you reading until the early hours of the morning.
In conclusion, this is a beautiful love story that includes much information about the modern history of China. It is also an epic novel worth reading.

Candis's Review
Good stuff! The peppers were a great addition to the sweet potato cornbread and slow cooker BBQ chicken recipes. Their tanginess balanced the sweetness of the bread and BBQ sauce. On their own, I found the final product to be a little salty for my taste, and next time will only use 2 Tbps of salt.
Bethlyleshowell's Review
My husband and I just love, love this recipe! It's great over pinto beans and my particular favorite is putting it over Hopping John on New Year's day. It's crunchy, tangy and just perfect. I make it often, just to have on hand.

If you've ever had the privilege of seeing Miniature Horses up-close, then you know just how cute they are. It's only natural, then, for people to stop and stare at Spanky whenever he enters an arena to perform. You see, Spanky is only 32 inches tall! Spanky is cute enough on his own, but it's his best friend, Dally, who accompanies the horse wherever he goes, that really has people talking.
Dally is a six-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who adores Spanky and performs in shows with the tiny horse. Both of the animals were rescued at the same time by Francesca Carson, and their new mother noticed how well the two animals got along together. She decided to train them both, and since then, the duo has been unstoppable and inseparable.
Spanky makes his entrance into any venue with Dally riding on his back. People are quick to applaud the animal besties, and anyone who sees them has to have a picture taken with them. Spanky and Dally might make a name for themselves with their performances, but it is their lovable friendship that will last forever! Watch the video, below, to see the unlikely besties for yourself.

Preceding this, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment held an hour-long livestream, showcasing The Ringed City expansion. The majority of the stream is dedicated to PvP battles, new weapons, and arenas. However, the stream's final ten minutes or so, go over some of the new single player content, including a boss fight. If you're worried about spoilers, you now know what to avoid.

Ingmar Bergman's favorite Muppet.
W. Magazine's article on the auctioning off of the late Ingmar Bergman's home and belongings confirmed what I'd long suspected: Animal was, in fact, his favorite Muppet. Bergman was also known to relish the odd blockbuster during his two daily film viewings at a screening room ten minutes' drive from his house. Watching "Jurassic Park," he exclaimed enthusiastically: "Those Americans know how to put on the pants!" That our masters of rigor often have a taste for the frivolous should no longer be a surprise. Very few haven't admitted, on the record, to some kind of cultural fondness that's, you know, unworthy of their work or whatever. In the '60s, Robert Bresson expressed great enthusiasm for "Goldfinger"; Stanley Kubrick was obsessed with beer commercials and had James Cameron come over and explain the effects in "True Lies" to him. Just as it's an axiom that musicians listen to way more...

Fortunately, the self-proclaimed start to awards season will be streaming live online tonight for the first time -- you can watch them below, kicking off at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT. Scarfing Chinese food from the carton while leaning over your laptop may not quite channel the experience of being at Cipriani, but at least you'll be able to wear your comfortable pants. Plus, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Burstyn, the Coen brothers, Willem Dafoe, Natalie Portman, Chris Rock, Ryan Reynolds, Meryl Streep and Kristen Wiig are amongst the glitterati expected to attend and be spottable online.

How anonymity can work for you (and Richard Linklater).
Over the weekend, two of '90s indie cinema's now-struggling emeritus directors returned to the cinematic landscape, one to far more noise than the other. Wes Anderson's "Fantastic Mr. Fox" finally opened nationally and came out soft, its per-screen average of $3,453 hardly much better than the animated flop "Planet 51." Whether things will pick up or whether pure Anderson, uncut or no, is just too idiosyncratic to sell as a family film remains to be seen. Richard Linklater's long-delayed "Me And Orson Welles" was met with respectful but largely unenthused, hands-off reviews. Despite that, an opening weekend of $16,200 per screen is no joke for a film that took over a year to straggle to theaters. I was part of the crowd; I'm from Austin, so solidarity with Linklater's work is key. As it happened, the theater was being polled by some diligent firm who gave a very cluttered survey...

The intersection of "important" and "good."
This year's Lux Prize has been awarded to Philippe Lioret's "Welcome." What's the Lux Prize, you ask? Why, it's the awards money the European Parliament gives out to movies that -- in the official website's words -- show "the process of building Europe in a different light." This is only the third year the prize has been given out. "Welcome" is about an illegal Kurdish immigrant in France trying to swim the channel to join his girlfriend in England, so it's reasonable to expect that issues of borders and cultural pollination are a big deal. (As the website puts it, "intercultural dialogue and freedom of thought [...] are two of [the prize's] most cherished causes.") In 2007, the prize went to Fatih Akin's "The Edge of Heaven," which is certainly about redefining European boundaries, going back and forth between Turkey and Germany. And in 2008, "Lorna's Silence" won; as a...

In praise of ZODIAC ***.
This year's top tens are arriving in the double-barrel barrage of both the year and decade. And in these trying times of redundancy and the self-righteous promotion of one's own taste as the ultimate truth, we need a hero. We need someone who says what they mean and is clear on it while also being entertaining. We need, in short, someone like ZODIAC ***. For those of you who don't read the Onion's AV Club on a regular basis, ZMF is a sort of mascot, punching bag and the best. Commenter. Ever. Essentially, he is (or claims to be, and he's been way too consistent for way too long for me to doubt him) a guy from the Midwest who loves the heaviest of metal (Slayer are his gods) and the most violent of film. He writes in all caps and spends a lot of time telling various haters to...

Seven great moments in film family fighting.
You know why there really aren't that many movies about Thanksgiving? Because there's nothing nice to say about it, that's why. Thanksgiving is the day a bunch of people go to airports to have their flights delayed or snowed out, and when they do get home there are all kinds of relatives there you don't really want to see and your mom wants to know when you're going to get married and pop out those grandkids and then everyone gets drunk and yells at each other. Or so I hear. My family isn't that extended. Anyway. In honor of those of you who are home with your families today, here are seven clips from films celebrating the true meaning of familial togetherness. Which is to say, total abrasion: The Darkos, "Donnie Darko" (2001) Let's start nice. The Darkos have their problems -- daughter Elizabeth is planning on voting for Dukakis,...

Chaplin vs. Keaton, the battle rages on.
In Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers," there's a super-annoying scene in which our American hero (Michael Pitt) and his French friend (Louis Garrel) argue about the relative merits of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Like "Star Trek" or "Star Wars," Hatfields or McCoys, Republicans or Democrats, this is an argument in which two partisans will never find a compromise point. But in commercial terms? The battle's been over and won for years. While the bulk of Keaton's major silent-era work is respectably, completely (as far as I know) represented on DVD, the prints in circulation of his greatest work tend to be on the shoddy side. And those DVDs definitely aren't as lavish as those of Chaplin's films, which tend to be pristine and lavishly hagiographic; the Keaton DVDs are much more bare-bones. (The much-ballyhooed restored DVD set of five years ago is currently out of print, but Chaplin never dies:...

"The Road": The Video Game.
Since movie producers have no qualms about turning inappropriate games into films, it should come as no surprise that crummy cross-promotion is a two-way street. Take for example, "Survive the Road," a browser game that's part of the official web site for "The Road" that lets you inhabit the emaciated body of Viggo Mortensen's nameless drifter as he travels the post-apocalyptic landscape in search of food and shelter while fending off those annoying cannibals. It's kinda like "Oregon Trail," though I don't recall in that game ever having to choose whether or not you'll explain to your son why you had to mercy-kill a woman you saw bleeding by the side of the road. Needless to say, this probably isn't what Cormac McCarthy had in mind when he signed off the rights to his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel for a film adaptation. But maybe he'd be charmed by the fact that...

Why it's so hard to say what's good when it comes to movies.
Barring whatever Artforum cooks up, you're unlikely to find a more uncompromisingly festival/arthouse/"difficult"-centric best-of-the-decade list than the TIFF Cinematheque's Top 30 of the decade -- which is actually 54 films long due to a truly staggering number of ties, but who's counting? The most "popular" movies on the list -- I use that word advisedly -- are probably "The Royal Tenenbaums," "A History of Violence" and "Pan's Labyrinth." I've seen all but nine of the rest -- the list tops out with Apichatpong Weerasethakul's "Syndromes and a Century," the definitive beloved-by-critics-and-seen-by-almost-no-one-else 2006 film. All the movies on the list are worth taking seriously. Some of them I love viscerally, some of them I respect abstractly and some of them I frankly despise (looking at you, "Colossal Youth"). But is the whole thing a bit airless? Definitely. It's tough enough to get the festival world's elite to agree on what the...

There's a movie about Tom Jones' genitalia.
If you're anything like me, you think to yourself "Gosh, 'Mars Attacks!' is really funny and by far Tom Jones' finest moment on screen, but I wish there was more material about his penis in it." OK, so maybe that isn't true. Regardless, at long last a movie dedicated to Tom Jones' junk has arrived. It's called "A Bit of Tom Jones?", and it's a new Welsh comedy so low-profile it doesn't yet have an IMDb entry. The original title -- the point-blank "Tom Jones' ***" -- was sadly not usable for practical reasons. The plot sounds very "Waking Ned Devine," albeit about a bunch of Welsh barhounds running around with Jones' severed member, trying to sell it off for the right price, but it's a notable regional success. It's outselling "The Fourth Kind," which is maybe not that impressive, but it's also outselling "This Is It," which is. The...

For your consideration: Sandra Bullock...?
This weekend, for complicated work-related reasons, I had to watch "All About Steve," the most-maligned of Sandra Bullock's three releases this year. If "The Proposal" is Bullock's straight-up romantic comedy and "The Blind Side" is a rare foray into playing middle-aged matron, "All About Steve" is a bizarrely misbegotten anti-romcom. She deploys crazed intensity in turning Mary, the ostensible protagonist, into a mass of twitches in a performance that bears as much relation to your conventional female romantic lead as, say, Cuba Gooding Jr. going full retard in "Radio." Needless to say, it's not very good. But that's not important, because not only is it Oscar season, it's Thanksgiving week and there really isn't much else to talk about. So contemplate, if you will, the thoughts of Pete Hammond -- formerly Maxim magazine's resident blurb-whore, which makes him as qualified as anyone to play awards-season swami. Hammond is convinced that...

Want to argue about race? Start with "Precious."
Is the sincere yet ultimately bathetic movie that is "Precious" really going to become the new flashpoint for talking about Race in America? We were totally due for a paradigm shift -- Spike Lee's had his 20 years -- but... this? It's not just all the arguments about whether or not "Precious" pathologizes and stereotypes black culture. "Precious" can actually be a starting point for any dialectic you want to set up. For example, look at the way that the New York Times' A.O. Scott bounces, of all things, "The Blind Side" off it ("imagine these movies in dialogue with each other, taking part in a conversation on race that the American public is always supposedly eager to have, but never right now") and concludes the two movies are basically the same, because they rescue one victim of an underlying societal problem without thinking of how to solve the bigger...

So sex doesn't sell, after all?
When's the last time you saw a big studio movie that had a sex scene? A real one -- you know, one with something more graphic than what you'd fine in "Sex And The City"? There's "A History of Violence," and Keira Knightley seems pretty into getting naked but I know for a fact no one saw "Domino" but me. The whole idea that Americans are more down with violence than sex in their movies hardly seems worth repeating. So what to make of a new study that analyzed 914 films released widely between 2001 and 2005 and concluded "sex and nudity do not, on the average, boost box office performance, earn critical acclaim or win major awards." The study, which ran in the November issue of Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts, is titled "Sex Doesn't Sell -- Nor Impress." There's an odd tone to the quotes run...

"The Little Mermaid" ain't so great.
"The Princess and the Frog" opens nationwide December 11, but hits New York's Ziegfeld Theatre on Wednesday. It's a slow, buzz-building rollout for Disney's much-publicized attempt to resurrect the traditional animation that transformed the company from mere corporation to cultural touchstone. But is it really a return to tradition? Sure, if by "tradition" you mean Disney movies from "Beauty and the Beast" onwards. The truth is, Walt Disney might not recognize the house he built if he were still alive. The classic animated features that are mandatory viewing for children (and valuable home-video cash cows), like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves," "Dumbo," and "Cinderella," had little-to-nothing to do with the standard "be yourself" platitudes that have made so many '90s Disney flicks turgid and annoying. In the 30-odd-year gap between Walt's death and "The Little Mermaid"'s kick-starting of the so-called Disney Renaissance, the studio tried out a lot of...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans will need passports to re-enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, Panama and Bermuda by 2008, part of a tightening of U.S. border controls in an era of terrorist threat, three administration officials said Tuesday.Not precisely correct since if you are a US citizen they have to take you with or without a passport. When traveling from overseas, the carriers won' t you board without a passport (because of fear of having to ship you back for free if not admitted) but since you can walk or drive from Canada, there's no one to stop you before you hit the border and the border guards can only slow you up not bar you forever.

- Wedding: November 2012
I've been looking for wedding jewelry for my Maggie Sottero Nova Dress to wear in November. I know I have plenty of time, but I just want to get it done. I went to Nordstroms to look for jewelry and I bought the Givenchy Pine Street Necklace and Earrings. I was planning on wearing a pearl bracelet that I had. I was eyeing the Nadri Marquis Cubin Zirconia necklance, earrings and bracelet, but it more expensive. I like the Givenchy because of the combo of rhinestones and pearls. I thought the Nadri was more timeless and classic that I would be able to wear it again in the future. I bought the Nova dress which was under my budget which gives me more money to spend on other accessories. Which was do you like the best and why?

BOGOTA, July 24 |
(Reuters) – Colombian Finance Minister Juan
Carlos Echeverry said on Tuesday that the Andean country would
grow more slowly than expected in 2012 at 4.5 percent versus 4.8
percent previously, hit by falling growth in agriculture and
Latin America's No. 4 economy expanded at a brisk 5.9
percent last year but growth in 2012 is expected to take a hit
from the global economic slowdown, a year-long series of rate
hikes in Colombia, and poor performance in the second quarter.
"We can't be complacent. We need measures that help the
economy in precisely the next six or 12 months. Sectors where
such measures must be more effective are agriculture and
industry. I see the other sectors growing well," he said.
"That's why the government has the feeling that a more
competitive exchange rate (and) an interest rate that at some
moment could begin to go down could help the economy a lot, in
particular agriculture and industry," he told journalists.
Colombia's economic growth rate likely slowed in the second
quarter to between 4.3 percent and 4.5 percent versus 4.7
percent in the first quarter, said Echeverry, who is also a
member of the central bank's board of directors.
The monetary authority – which is meeting on Friday to
decide on the benchmark interest rate – is also expected to
lower its 2012 economic growth estimate, most likely tightening
the current 4 percent to 6 percent range.
A Reuters poll of analysts on Tuesday showed that 31 out of
40 believed the bank's board would keep the rate at 5.25 percent
for the fifth consecutive month since credit growth remained
high and economic data were somewhat mixed.
Nine analysts saw the rate being cut by 25 basis points.
The majority of experts believed the bank would not raise
the amount of daily dollar purchases from the current $20
million or more.
Colombia has been battling against the impact of a
strengthening peso, which has damaged export competitiveness.
The country has attracted record foreign investment in the
past decade as a military offensive against rebels made it safer
to do business.
The influx of dollars, coupled with attractive yields
compared with near-zero interest rates in developed economies,
has bolstered the value of the peso 8 percent so far this year.
Exporters such as flower and coffee growers have suffered
from a strong currency because they pay costs in pesos but
receive dollars for their sales.
Echeverry reiterated a government call that the bank could
buy more reserves to put pressure on the peso, which has become
the world's strongest gaining currency.
"Reserves should be around $50 billion. Today they are $34
billion so there is space to buy and increase reserves," he said
citing the findings of a technical document by the finance

text: Right now I have an iron plasma count of 2.8 and a CPR of 54. Bye bye Infliximab. I saw the Rheumy nurse a couple of days ago after finally overriding my severe phone phobia and calling the rheumy helpline. She thought maybe Enbrel but my Rheumy says Rituximab so more blood tests, more X rays, more MTX but only 2.5 this time (if I feel too bad on it I'll stop taking it, the world won't stop turning). The nurse says my veins may be rubbish because I'm so anaemic (I'm having trouble being canulated and having blood tests), I have to go on super duper iron girder pills for a while so hopefully they will work and make me feel human again. Maybe I should eat more chocolate too?

The orchestra is warming up.
The musicians are tuning their instruments.
Then the conductor raises his baton. The audience holds their breath in anticipation and… so it begins, the final act of Venus retrograde.
If you care to simmer your senses in this moment of achingly bittersweet, anticipatory delight, I would invite you to listen to Gustav Holst's Venus suit. Gustav Holst was both a famous English composer and astrologer. He wrote The Planets, a seven-movement suit, with the astrological archetypes in mind…
Astrology is a tapestry of symbolic meaning, woven throughout the solar system. Everything is connected. No event in astrology occurs in isolation, just like no life event occurs in isolation. The art of astrology is synthesis – synthesizing disparate sub-plots into the unity of the overarching story.
All signs in the heavens point to our goddess of love and beauty as the protagonist at center stage this week. All other astrological events are supporting characters and sub-plots. Yes, as I'm sure you've heard, Mercury went retrograde on Sunday, but with the retrograde motion of the two planets overlapping this week, Mercury's initial steps backward are going to play strongly into the Venus Rx story that is continuing in our lives. Mercury begins its retrograde in Taurus, which is ruled by Venus.
This is indeed, Venus' week.
On Saturday she turns direct again.
She's on her retrograde homestretch.
This is the closing chapter of your Venus Rx story.
These are Venus crescendo days.
Not everyone will experience Venus retrograde in the same way. Everyone will have a different Venus Rx story, depending on how its movement is intersecting with their natal chart and life circumstances.
Venus is associated with our core values and passions (what we prioritize and see as most important in our lives), self-worth, money, relationships, love, sex, showing and receiving affection, pleasure, art, and beauty (including physical appearance).
Take a moment to reflect. What Venus-themes have been emerging in your life since March 4th, when Venus first began its retrograde journey?
Remember that the Venus retrograde story might not be a dramatic one for you. Perhaps you've been experiencing a quiet, but growing reminder to rekindle your passion and act on your values, and this has primarily expressed itself as an internal shift. The degree of intensity of your Venus Rx story depends on how her journey intersects with your natal chart. For example, the intense moments of the Uranus-Jupiter-Pluto square barely shed a ripple in my chart (although it significantly impacted other people in my life). The Venus retrograde on the other hand, is unfolding in my life uncannily, as if I was reading a novel. I can feel the final Venus crescendo week coming. The final chapter is currently weaving itself together as I (literally and figuratively) prepare to take a trip into the epicenter of an emotional storm.
So many Venus themes have emerged for me since March 4th:
- Reorienting myself toward my passions and the life I want to live: I passionately love astrology. I can't deny its calling and its spiritual significance in my life. During Venus Rx I began building an online platform for Lilith Rebellion, with plans to be able to offer chart readings some day.
- Reassessing core values and what's important to me: I carefully reassessed some emotionally-charged core values and re-prioritized them. This led to making a really difficult and potentially life-changing decision.
- Establishing a stronger sense of self-worth: I have been struggling with depression for the past year and my self-worth has been eroding. During Venus Rx I, (1) had a terrible 31st birthday that I had been dreading – this was a catalyst that really forced me to examine my self-worth and perception of myself, and (2) I received multiple unexpected encouragements in support of my capacity to pursue my dreams and passions.
- Healing in the realm of intimacy, love, and relationships: I had some major breakthroughs that I have been waiting years for. The cosmos also stirred its pot of synchronicity, and some unexpected, meaningful encounters with people from my past, have arranged themselves in my life.

- Recap of the previous aspects Venus encountered on her retrograde route
- Monday, April 10th
- Tuesday, April 11th
- Thursday, April 13th
- Friday, April 14th
- Saturday, April 15th
- Sunday, April 16th
Recap of the major aspects Venus encountered on her retrograde route:
[Astro advice: It's a cool thing to track your transits! Make notes on daily events/thoughts/emotions that seem to mirror the movements of the cosmos. They may seem insignificant at the time, but it can be pretty insightful to reflect back on them at a later date and notice the overarching story that was emerging.]
- Friday, January 27th: Venus squared Saturn, going direct. This is not technically part of her retrograde story, but it is important to note because she passes through a challenging square with Saturn twice more in April. The Saturn square Venus is a major plot line of the Venus Rx story and reverberates throughout all of April. What was happening in your life around January 27th? You may see a connection between that time, and the coming weeks. Oftentimes when a planet creates the same aspect multiple times due to a retrograde, each "pass" through the aspect builds on a continuing story thread. The Venus-Saturn plot has three landmarks: January 27th, April 8th, and April 21st. Look for events or significant moments that occurred at these dates (or the day before or after).
- Saturday, March 4th: Venus stationed retrograde @ 13° Aries. And so her healing journey begins. What was emerging in your life around this time?
- Saturday, March 18th: Mercury conjunct Venus Rx. This was a moment of clarity and renewed vision; a Mercurial provision of blessings on Venus' backward journey as she disappeared from the evening sky and descended into her underworld. Perhaps some encouraging words came your way. Perhaps you had some insightful reflections into your Venus story. Perhaps you had some meaningful conversations with those you love.
- Saturday, March 25th: Sun conjunct Venus Rx. Your Venus retrograde story themes were likely crystallizing and becoming obvious at this point, under the sun's bright light.
- Sunday, April 2nd: Venus crossed the Aries Point (0° Aries) and entered back into Pisces. Awash in Pisces' boundless seas, we heard the call to surrender to the journey; to open up and embrace the healing process. Depending on our Venus story we may have also experienced a plunge into escapism or fantasy-land, in response to more uncomfortable pieces of our Venus story coming to light and beckoning us out of our comfort zone, due to Venus' movement through the illuminating Aries point (this was certainly true for me).
- Saturday, April 8th: Venus squared Saturn. If we were trying to avoid and escape the tough truths that our Venus story had unearthed in fantasy-fueled Pisces, around this time, is when a reality check may have punctured the bubble. This, marks the final tough uphill climb of the Venus retrograde journey. When Venus passes through the third and final square with Saturn on April 21st, there will likely be a feeling of breakthrough, of achievement, of progress.
- Sunday, April 9th: Mercury stationed retrograde in Taurus. How beautiful is the synchronicity of the cosmos! While most people seem to love to complain about this transit, Mercury retrograde is full of gifts. How lovely of the universe to grant us these gifts during such a difficult week. Mercury (stationed retrograde in Taurus, Venus' natural domain) lends its creative insight to our Venus story. Careful reflection and deep conversation are likely necessary for the Venus Rx homestretch, and Mercury Rx will provide support for these endeavors.
Not only is Mercury retrograde in Taurus, a Venus-ruled sign, but Mars is also hanging out in Taurus. Furthermore, Saturn is retrograde in Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter, which is currently retrograde in Libra, the other sign ruled by Venus! I've said it before, but I'll say it again just in case you haven't picked it up:
All astrological indicators propel Venus onto the celestial stage.
Since the Saturn-Venus square is such an important plot line of the Venus Rx story, I thought I'd re-post some of the tough questions Saturn might be asking you to provide some additional guidance as you navigate the Venus crescendo days:
- If love, sex, and relationships are the major Venus Rx themes for you, Saturn may be asking you if a relationship has the stamina and the foundation to sustain itself over the long-haul? What needs to be done to strengthen a valuable relationship? Have your personal boundaries eroded? How can you establish healthy boundaries again? Are you finding your sense of self-worth entirely through other people? How can you repair this? What barriers have you created in your life to protect yourself from being open to love? Are you blinded by an ungrounded fantasy of love? Do you need a reality check in your relationships? What is real love, what's not? Who is important to keep in your life, who should you let go?
- If values are the emerging emphasis of your Venus Rx story, then Saturn may be asking you, what do you truly value in life? Who do you truly value in your life? How would you define "the good life"? Are your inner values congruent with your outer reality? Are you consistently acting on your core values? Have you replaced your core values with other people's values and society's values? Is it time to expire old values and develop new ones that resonate more deeply with your soul?
- If self-worth is a key Venus Rx plot line for you, then check out my Know Your Worth: A Venus Retrograde Project, and see if any of these posts challenge you to rethink your perception of yourself.
And now the Cosmic Forecast for this week…
Monday, April 10th
- Venus, exalted at 27° Pisces.
Among the 360 degrees of the zodiac wheel, there is one single degree at which the planet Venus is said to be most exalted: 27° Pisces. Venus will finish her retrograde journey and station direct at 26°55′ on Saturday; essentially at her exaltation degree.
On route to her destination, on Monday she is sweeping the hem of her ball gown across Pisces underwater lair and stepping into her power at 27°. This, is Venus at her best. Venus at her most powerful, most beautiful, most loving, most compassionate, most forgiving. This is pure elegance with a steely undergirding.
How appropriate, that Sandro Botticelli would depict Venus standing on a shell in the sea in his famous painting, The Birth of Venus (~1480s). According to the ancient Greco-Roman myths Venus was born from sea foam a full-grown woman after the blood of Uranus fell to the sea. This painting is the epitome of Venus' grace; fresh and innocent, newly birthed. This, is Venus at 27 degrees Pisces.
It is significant that Venus ends her healing journey here. Yes this will likely be an intense week, but Venus at her exaltation is at full power, blessing you with the strength to step into the closing chapter of your Venus retrograde story. Venus in Pisces is pure, unconditional and compassionate love, and forgiveness for yourself and for others. The continuing Venus-Saturn square may feel heavy, but it is a beneficial counter-balance to the romantic and sentimental, unconditional acceptance of Venus in Pisces. Here, you can love, you can forgive, you can heal, but you can also establish healthy boundaries, ground yourself in reality, and make difficult decisions.
The cliché interpretation of a Venus retrograde is that its backward motion will bring past lovers into your life, since Venus is the goddess of love and relationships. This will not happen for everyone, but if this is your Venus Rx story, rather than drowning in a sea of romantic nostalgia ask yourself: What needs to be healed here? What needs to be resolved? What needs to be clarified? Are there boundaries that need to be established? Is there reconciliation that needs to happen?
- Full moon @ 21° Libra (opposite Sun in Aries conjunct Uranus – triggering the T-square with Pluto at 19° Capricorn)
- Moon enters Scorpio
Oh loves, this full moon is intense. I know they say that about all full moons, but this one really, really is. According to my timezone (ADT) this full moon will be exact in the very early hours of Tuesday, but you will undoubtedly have felt its power in the days leading up to it, and you'll feel its reverberations over the next few days.
You may read about how this is a full moon in Libra, and thus indicates harmony and peace. That may be the ultimate goal, but this full moon has darker undertones. Don't be deceived by Libra's airy lightness. There is a deep soul struggle inherent in this full moon. A struggle to release, to surrender, to heal, to let go.
Venus rules Libra, and thus Venus is the ruler of Tuesday's full moon. Nothing in astrology should be interpreted in isolation. This is a key moment in the Venus Rx story. The Venus crescendo reaches new heights today.
Each full moon corresponds to a new moon in the same sign that occurred six months earlier. New moons are beginnings; full moons are completions and release. Six months ago there was a new moon in Libra on September 30th for those in the Western Hemisphere (for those in the Eastern hemisphere the new moon was on October 1st). For those in the Western Hemisphere, this was the second new moon of the month (a phenomenon that happens about every 32 months).
The second new moon of the month is called a black moon and it invokes the intense and raw energy of Lilith; the goddess archetype this website is named after! It is the shadow moon; a fierce feminine energy that works with our shadows, our shame, our sexuality, our desire for independence, and our wounds of rejection and abandonment.
If Lilith is considered the first Eve who was barred from the Garden of Eden, because she refused to be subservient to Adam, than Venus represents the second Eve, the one that remained compliant to Adam. Innocent, beautiful, sweet, charming, and seeking harmony at the cost of independence, Venus is the antithesis of Lilith.
Lilith is the exiled woman.
Lilith is the rebellious outcast, the outsider looking in.
This is particularly relevant for those in the Western hemisphere – what was happening in your life on September 30th, 2016? Is there a correlation? I remember my black moon acutely. It was intense and full of Lilith themes. Today marks a struggle between the energy of the harmonious Venus in Pisces that longs to elevate you to a more blissful, peaceful, transcendent, spiritual place, and the energy of Lilith, who glares at you fiercely and demands that you complete the messy, dirty, healing work that began in you last September – before you move forward with Venus direct next week.
For those in the Eastern hemisphere, are there correlations you can draw between this lunar cycle's new moon in Aries (around March 27th), and this full moon in Libra? Similarly, you may be able to see that whatever was planted or beginning in your life two weeks ago, is now coming to completion and resolution.
The struggle or contact between Lilith energy and Venus energy (the first and second "Eve") is also mirrored in the current sky. This full moon is activating the powerful t-square aspect between Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto. The moon is conjunct Jupiter opposite the Sun conjunct Uranus. Both Jupiter/Moon and Uranus/Sun combos are squaring Pluto. While Jupiter and Uranus seek major, sudden, dramatic change and adventure, Pluto demands from them both, a deep soul transformation. Pluto is closely associated with the energy of Lilith. Later on in the day the moon slips out of Libra into the dark murky waters of Scorpio, the sign ruled by Pluto, further emphasizing the deep healing work required.
With Mercury having recently gone retrograde, our ability to cognitively "think" our way through our emotional problems using reason and logic, is just not going to cut it. We have to feel our way out.
As I said, don't be deceived by Libra's light airiness. This full moon is a heavyweight. The full moon may call for release, but it also may unearth old wounds and traumas, feelings of rejection and vulnerability. You may find yourself wanting to lash out to defend and protect yourself against other people or your circumstances. Release, release, release. Breath into it. This is your Venus retrograde story. There is great opportunity for healing.
Encompassing all this intensity is the polarity of Libra versus Aries. The moon is in Libra, opposite the sun in Aries. Libra seeks harmony and balance in relationships, whereas Aries seeks independence and self-assertion. This is the classic struggle between self and other. How might this be playing out in your life right now? Are you out of balance – prioritizing your own needs at the cost of disregarding the needs of others, or are you ignoring your own needs while you invest in other people?
Whew, hang in there. This full moon will send ripples out into the rest of the week. Ride the wave to the end of your Venus retrograde story on Saturday.
- Venus conjunct Chiron (in Pisces)
Today Venus swims through Pisces' waters into a conjunction with Chiron, the wounded healer of the sky.
The destination, the purpose, of Venus' retrograde journey is to obtain the potent healing that Chiron offers.
Healing is what called her back to retrace her steps.
Healing is what will release her to move forward again.
Astronomically, Chiron is an asteroid in our solar system. Astrologically, Chiron is named after a centaur in Greek mythology and is symbolized by a glyph in the shape of a key. Part man, part horse, Chiron is the holistic healer. People who practice holistic healing modalities that address mind, body, and soul, often have a prominent Chiron in their chart. When Chiron touches our natal planets he patiently and persistently probes into our places of deep wounding to retrieve the poison that may be buried there. Painful, yes, but deeply healing. I am currently experiencing a Chiron transit to my Sun and Mercury and I can attest to the deep pain and crippling insecurity that this transit can cause, as well as the significant opportunity for healing deep wounds.
Trust Chiron. In Greek mythology he was a well respected, gifted healer, fitness trainer, and wise teacher. He is known as the wounded healer because he was accidentally pierced by a poisoned arrow, but being immortal he could not die and was thus destined to suffer. Chiron knows what he's doing. He too, has suffered deeply and understands your pain. Lower your resistance and embrace his therapeutic touch.
Venus' bittersweet and searingly beautiful dance with Chiron will occur throughout April 13th – 17th, during which time Venus will Station Direct; slowly turning around to create forward motion once again.
Healing takes time. Be gentle. Do yourself a favour and listen to Trevor Hall's beautiful song that has been on repeat for me over the past two months – You Can't Rush Your Healing.
Friday, April 14th
- Sun conjunct Uranus (@ 24° Aries)
- Moon enters Sagitarrius
For the last couple weeks, the Sun has been drawing closer and closer to a conjunction with Uranus in Aries, the visionary and erratic revolutionary of the cosmos. Today the conjunction is exact. Uranus is rebellious, progressive, open minded, innovative. When the Sun fuses briefly with Uranus, this energy is available in copious amounts. How will you use this energy wisely?
Uranus is also somewhat psychic due to its future-oriented inclinations. It's not emotionally intuitive like Neptune/Pisces energy, but it is represents the visionary; the person who can see a picture of the future before it becomes manifest in our day-to-day lives… or perhaps, this energy may reveal a picture of a future that could have been, were you to have made different decisions along the way.
Uranus is full of unexpected surprises. New and unanticipated information may come your way today, giving you an electric and shocking jolt, in true Uranus style.
How does the Sun conjunction with Uranus play into the Venus retrograde story?
Venus' crescendo is reaching fever pitch. Still entangled in an excruciatingly beautiful dance with Chiron, we begin to see a glimpse of our future over Chiron's shoulder. Our eyes open wide with the tentative courage to hope. We can see where our Venus Rx story is taking us. We can see the outcome, the results, the future trajectory that will make this journey worth it. No longer lost in the pain of the moment, we can see bright shores ahead. Emboldened by this vision, we are ready to take our next brave step.
The Moon moving from the deep waters of Scorpio into the ever-optimistic Sagittarius, further emphasizes this bold and bright future envisioning. Another adventure awaits. One story is closing, but another is opening!
Sagittarius is an adventurous, risk-taking energy – and so is Uranus in Aries. Uranus, Aries, Sagittarius – these are all energies that believe themselves to be above and beyond traditional social conventions. They like to break social norms, to take chances, and to daringly plunge into everything the present moment has to offer. For better or for worse, this impulsive, rash, spontaneous fire-air cosmic cocktail is activated today and it may send you headlong into an unexpected scenario. With Uranus so closely conjunct Eris (a dwarf planet), the fierce and violent Goddess of Strife and Discord in Aries, the archetype of the warrior, there may be an aggressive edge that colors your day.
Interestingly the Venus retrograde story aligns itself with the Christian story of Easter this year. According to that tradition, today is Good Friday, the day when Jesus was crucified. This is a story heavy with the archetypal symbolism of death, forgiveness, transformation, rebirth, and hope. How fitting that Good Friday should align itself with the final day of Venus' backward motion into Pisces' depths. Hope and rebirth are around the corner.
What is your Venus story about? And what might be the story that follows it? Your new story could involve the pursuit of a new passion, a more secure sense of self worth, reconciliation, a healed relationship, freedom from an unhealthy relationship, a reorientation of your core values.
Saturday, April 15th
- Venus stations direct @ 26° 55 Pisces (conjunct Chiron @ 26°30 Pisces)
You made it.
Your Venus retrograde story is complete.
The final word has been written and read.
Venus is now turning around, turning direct. Now begins the time period for integrating the healing that has taken place, into your daily life. Venus clears her retrograde shadow on May 18th, so the next month is prime for integration and taking steps forward, guided by the wisdom you have gleaned throughout her retrograde journey.
The crescendo week has finished. Venus and Chiron fleetingly interlace fingers and limbs for one more achingly painful moment of healing, before Venus begins to pull apart. She is ready. She is stronger. She knows what she wants. She knows where her boundaries lie. She knows the work that is required of her. She knows the difficult decisions she needs to make.
"Onward," she whispers, as her eyes turn to the future – a future which is growing brighter by the second.
- Moon conjunct Saturn in Sagitarrius, square Venus (in Pisces)
- Venus (in Pisces) sextiling Mars (in Taurus)
Sweet souls, let your breathing resume an even pace. Stretch out the accumulated tension in your limbs. Embrace the healing that has happened during your Venus retrograde journey.
Today the Moon will conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius, and together they will square Venus in Pisces – a gentle reminder to not lapse back into old habits, old ways of being in this world. Look how far you've come. Look how much you've grown. Embrace the progress that has taken place and solidify your inner resolve to ensure those seeds of healing emerge from the ground of your soul as healthy strong shoots.
Today Venus and Mars will also create a beneficial sextile aspect. Mars symbolizes strength and assertiveness. Mars is currently transiting through Taurus, the sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love. The co-mingling of these two energies produces a courageous and tenderhearted love. This is a wonderful gift from the universe to assist you with your forward momentum.
And what about the past, you ask? What about those previous relationships or ways of relating that you let go of, or healed? What about those expired values you have replaced, and that old sense of self and identity that you surrendered and upgraded?
Collect the best of who you were, of what your life was before your Venus retrograde story, and preserve it for safekeeping. Take that flower before it dies and tuck it between the pages of a weighty book. Now you are safe to distance yourself from it, or let it fade from your memory. When you are feeling nostalgic, or you need a reminder of how far you have come, you can pull out that pressed flower and stroke its petals gently as you reminisce. But for now, bravely bid farewell to the past love, the past memory, the past value, the old sense of self worth.
You are returning to a new life; stepping over the threshold. Everything is familiar, and yet utterly different. You have traversed this way before, but now you see it with new eyes.

Ultraman Mebius
Jasyuline is an alien being who made himself famous throughout the universe for incasing his opponents into gold statues as his "Trophies." With Ultraman Mebius as his next target, Jasyuline headed for earth in hopes of adding the Ultra to his "Collection." Arriving during a festival to honor Father of Ultra, Jasyuline landed on Earth beckoning Mebius appearance, taking down opposition from GUYS in the process. Ultraman Mebius was quickly on the scene to stop the alien, but Jasyuline's psychic powers were too much for Mebius to handle. Once the ultra was weakened enough, Jasyuline fired his Gold Coating Ray, solidifying the ultra into a statue of pure gold. As Jasyuline celebrated in his victory, they noticed that Mebius's Color Timer was not coated in gold, thus the enraged alien materialized his boomerang to successfully crack it open by force after hammering it several times.
Suddenly a green orb of energy fell from the sky and knocked Jasyuline away from the damaged Mebius statue. The orb quickly materialized to reveal none other than Father of Ultra. Excited about the thought of owning a statue of the Father of Ultra, Jasyuline proceeded to battle with the superior Ultra. Father of Ultra however was more evenly matched to the alien than Mebius was and managed to distract the alien with his cape while Father of Ultra managed to free Mebius from his gold coating and repair the damaged color timer with the Ultra Charge. Upon freeing himself from Father of Ultra's cape, Jasyuline tried to fire another Gold Ray, but was severely damaged by a blinding flash of Ultra Father's Ultra Array. With Jasyuline weakened, Mebius transformed into his Burning Brave form and this time was able to match Jasyuline's strength. Frustrated and crippled, Jasyuline desperately activated his last ditch to kill both Ultras by preparing to burrow to the Earth's core to damage it directly. However Jasyuline was destroyed by Ultraman Mebius's Mebium Burst before he could even burrow away.
- Voice actors:
- Elder brother/top face: Dai Matsumoto
- Middle brother/middle face: Shintaro Asanuma
- Youngest brother/bottom face: Haji
- Jasyuline's episode and battle with Father of Ultra was a homage to Father of Ultra's debut and battle against Alien Hipporito.
- Jasyuline himself seems to be a slight homage to Dada, Garaon, and Gigi for possessing 3 faces each with its own expression (From top to bottom: Anger, Laughter, and Calmness).
- Jasyuline's appearence in Ultraman Mebius is referenced by Hikaru Raido in New Ultraman Retsuden Episode 26.
Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie
Jasyuline was revived by Ultraman Belial's 100 Monster Army as he was seen as a spirit awakening to the Plasma Spark along with Angross, Sadora, Telesdon, Gesura, and Zetton. He then teamed up with Lunaticks, Kelbeam, Birdon, Roberuga II, Alien Valky, Mukadender, Frogos, Gromite, and Angross to take on Ultraman Mebius. He was betrayed and killed along with Lunatyx by Belial's Belial Geno Thunder during the final battle. Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie
Ultraman Ginga
In episode 7, him along with several monsters are seen cheering Ginga on as he fights Dark Galberos.
He reappears to fight Antlar. The Spark Doll for him is given to Misuzu by Hotsuma Raido, who got it via unknown means. The Jet Black Ultra Brothers
It is likely that Jasyuline returned to space in his original form after Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel. Your Future
- This is the first time Jasyuline was portrayed as a heroic alien rather than a villain, he was Ultra Lived by Hikaru's friends Misuzu, Kenta, and Chigusa, but their lack of coordination meant that he could not be used effectively.
- Jasyuline is the only known Spark Doll to date that has been Lived and controlled by three, the other ones were Thunder Darambia and Super Grand King who were Lived and controlled by two.
Powers and Weapons
- Gol-Jasyura (ゴールジャシュラー Gōru Jashurā): By charging the energy in all of his heads, Jasyuline can fire a gold ray from the wing-like structure on the top of his head. When it strikes its target, it encases it in solid gold.
- Psychic Powers: Jasyuline has the ability to catch and/or redirect any incoming attacks.
- Boomerang: Jasyuline can materialize a boomerang-type object to be used as a weapon, both handheld or tossed like an average boomerang and used as an improvised hammer to break the Color Timer of Ultraman Mebius.
- Burrowing: By spinning his body around rapidly, Jasyuline can burrow like a drill at high speeds.
Spark Doll
"UltraLive, Jasyuline!"
- ―Jasyuline UltraLived via Ginga Light Spark.
This Spark Doll has been used on one occasion by three people:
- In Episode 9, Misuzu, Kenta, and Chigusa UltraLived into Jasyuline to combat Antlar. The alien and the monster were an equal match, but he was reverted back to the humans that Ultralived him after Ginga arrived.
After Dark Lugiel's defeat, Jasyuline's Spark Doll is likely to have reverted back to its original form and depart Earth to return home.
Toy Release Information
Jasyuline was released in 2013 as part of the Ultra Monster 500 series. He is #27 in the series. He has 2 points of articulation and is fairly acurrate to the shows. He stands at 5in tall.


text: January 29, 2014 by Kasigluk Energy Systems Overhaul In the Kuskokwim village of Kasigluk, STG executed complex, multi-faceted projects to complete an energy system overhaul for the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC). This project was valued at $14.6 million and completed in 2006. The complete scope of work involved the consolidation and renovation of three unique and isolated energy systems in the villages of Kasigluk, Akula Heights, and Nunapitchuk. It involved the transfer of primary power generation from Nunapitchuk to Akula Heights and required STG to maintain power supplies to all three villages throughout construction. In addition to constructing foundations, STG installed new power generation modules in Akula Heights to provide a new, more efficient heat recovery system. An expanded village distribution system was also completed, including the installation of a new five-mile intertie between Kasigluk and Nunapitchuk across various waterways between the communities supported by pile foundations. STG also installed three 100 kW wind generators supported by large diameter helical piles.

Hi this is me,
It sounds like you are living a normal teenage life. I am sorry that your parents drink. If it gets bad, report it to the police or DSS. That is if you feel like your life is in any danger. If you have two good friends, you are lucky. In life you will find that there are always going to be changes, you need to get use to that. It is the only thing in life that doesn't change.
You will meet a boy one day too. When the time is right. So don't worry about
that. It will happen soon enough.
Take care,
Hugs, Karen

Hi This is me,
I have to agree with getting by, I'm 15 and when i was 13 i felt the same way.. my dad drinks alot, luckily i have a really good relationship with my mum.. but my dad is always yelling at me and is stubborn and wont listen and just doesn't understand, i also fight with my brother constantly who is 17 now.. sometimes life is just that way, but there are things that can help, maybe if your family were willing to go along you could try family counsilling or some type of support just for ways to build up relationships and get things across to them so they know you are serious about
this and not happy.
As for friends, i think you should consider yourself lucky to have two close friends!! I used to just have 2 or 3 really close friends that i would hang out with and really only stuck to them because i was also very shy and quiet if i didn't know someone, i felt lonely and like i didn't have friends only because everyone else had big groups.. in year 9 i came out of that shell and i am now in a group of about
40 girls.. sure i love it but it can get so *****y and you just don't have the same relationships with the close friends and its harder to get close to people.. I have to say i actually prefer have a small group of close friends. but if you really want more friends you could try things like joining a sports club which can also just make you feel happier doing exercice, or if your into arty things you could find out about
some art courses and go along and meet people there.. drama courses, even tutoring groups and study groups i'm sure would be a good place to meet people!!
As for boys, as much as it seems like its the best thing in the world, and sure it is for some!! But when you get a boyfriend, its hard work, boys don't always initiate contact and its so much to think about
and you have to be careful around other boys that they dont get jealous and its time you need for study etc!! One day the right boy will come along and you will know it, and things will work out.. :)
Everyone at healing well is here to support you and do what we can to help you out.
15 years old,
Chronic stomach pain with no diagnosis yet and lots of other things.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

hi and welcome to healingwell. my mom too was an alcoholic and a drug addict for most of my life. it was hard and i felt alone. i did have friends but no one understood what i went through because i was ashamed of people finding out. even my best friends didnt know my mom had addictions. you should try alnon i believe it. a support group for kids with parents of alcoholics. nothing you can do will make your parents stop, they have to want to stop on their own and sometimes that never happens. my mom eventually quit but by then it was to late for her. our relationship was strained at its best and it never really healed but i did love her and stood by her side. the best thing you can do is to live life for you and do what is right for you and get a counselor. they will help. i am here if you need someone to talk to as i know what it is like. no one understands, unless they themselves are living it, what it is like to be children of alcoholics. we blame ourselves, we are lonely, the isolation, the pain we have and the self esteem issues because of it. you must realize this is not your fault, dont be ashamed to talk to your friends you need them and dont isolate your self. strive to be better.

I feel like I didn't touch on the alcoholic parents enough. My mother was an alcoholic too. And back in those days they put you into a mental institution. Which she spent many years. She lost her first three kids, had me and then my little sister, who I never got to know until I was in my thirties, because she was born in the institution. I was lucky, my grandparents adopted me, but then my mother came back into my life which was horrible. She was bipolar, and had prescript
ion drug addiction problems. It was really hard. I didn't get help, I turned to drugs instead which I did for many years. But eventually got into counseling and it was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. So if there is a school counselor you can talk to, please do, because it really helps.
I hope that things get better for you soon.
Hugs, Karen

I hope that you are okay. It is so hard when they get angry and take it out on you. Please don't hesitate to get the police involved if she becomes violent with you. You don't deserve to have to live like this. I wish she would quit. And I know how frightening it can be. Please let us know that you are okay.

I lived with an abusive man for awhile years ago. It was the same way, always acted like nothing happened. We never talked it out in the mornings. And I would always have black eyes. His appology was "I am sorry you made me do this to you". That was a long time ago thank God. I can't believe that I lived through it. But I did. Don't let this go on. I there is any way that you can talk to somebody it would help you. Like a social worker. You don't deserve this.
Know that we care.

In the city of Toronto, anyone buying anything in a store must pay five cents for each plastic bag they get with their purchases. Supposedly this covers the cost of disposing of these bags. I submit that this is nonsense.
I occasionally buy something at Tiger Direct. Before the Bag Tax, I would get a very decent, strong, large plastic bag with Tiger Direct advertising on it. This advertising would work, because I or my spouse would use the bag until it was getting tatty, and then probably line a wastebasket with it.
However, once the bags were forced to be paid for, the Advertising departments lost control of the bags and their quality, and the number crunchers seem to have taken over. So, a vendor who could afford to deliver a really nice bag for free, now needs to deliver a bag that definitely is not worth five cents. Every store is using crappy bags. The LCBO stopped using plastic (you can still get paper, for nothing) – we use one of these bags to hold recyclable containers, and we must have had it for years. The bag tax guarantees that the newer bags are flimsy, and thus will go into recycling or garbage after one or two uses.
Now for the dumb question: who gets the bag tax, and what is it applied to?

I am very excited to try new products *hence that is why i blog* and i found LT Pro Eye Shadow Primer in one of the department store for RP 95.000 (i forgot the exact price but it was around there). LT Pro Eye Shadow Primer stated that it works as a base, to make it last longer and to intensify the eyeshadow color.
LT Pro is one of Indonesia Makeup Brand. Yes it is local and i am proud. LT Pro is one of my favorite local brand in the cosmetic industry because I realized they are always up to the makeup "game" and always to be the first one that launched new product following the makeup trend. I always try to look for a good eyeshadow base from our local brand and today! i am going to do a review on this eyeshadow primer.
As you can see from the packaging, it stated that, this primer will give a long lasting effect of the shadow and will intensify the color of the shadow. So we shall see the longevity and the intensity later. I have to admit that, for the price it is slightly expensive compare to the size and the weight. This primer is very light when you hold it and the size is pretty small. It is in a black color for the body and a silver cap. Simple though.
Now, lets do the quality of the primer. The shade as you can see is pretty nude like a skin tone shade and the texture reminds me of Benefit Porefessional. A lightweight, wax-y with a powdery finish texture but this one has a more "liquid-ish" feeling. It blends in well on my eyes and I dont need a lot of product for one eyelid which is great. It does feels light weight but I dont like the scent. It has this floral - oldish scent i must say but that doesnt bother me because the scent evaporates in a few seconds.
As you can see from the picture below, the one with the primer has a slight more vibrant color while the other side without the primer has a more subtle color. I apply only 2 layers of color on the eye with the primer where as on the eye without the primer, i applied quite a few layers in order to make it similar to the other side.
I also realized the process of applying the shadow and blending the shadow upon the primer is very easy where it has no clump and it makes the texture on the eyelid smoother and it is resulting in a more even spread out colors on the eyes. SO, COLOR INTENSIFY YES! But does it last long? IT DOES! If I compare with the price, the quality and the result, i am impressed! It makes the eyeshadow sits long on my oily eyelids for almost a good 5-6 hours!

So I told myself when my son starts being able to go to camp, I will help out. 2014 marks the first year.
Being new to the camp, there were many things to learn. It was a good thing I had great team members.
It seemed there were a lot to ready myself with initially. It was kind of overwhelming at times. But things started to fall into place, and into perspective.
I think what I loved most preparing for the camp was the total reliance on God. It felt good to feel the heart of God and follow His prompting.
As it is I am not an overly excitable person. And most times I feel that events like this require me to be excited and eager and loud - if for no other reason than to make the kids excited and eager and respond. But I realize that there are others who worked alongside me who were not like that. Some were doing work quietly and some motivated personally. Is it a group leader thing that I placed myself in such a role? If I were a helper instead, would I have reacted differently to the situations in the camp? In fact looking back at the videos in the camp, I wonder who that person that looks like me is?
Talking to kids I don't know on the first day was also tough for me. It was exhausting trying to coax them to talk and tell us their darkest deepest secrets. And being the private person that I am, I found it tough to keep the group talking and excited about topics of interest. I rather prefer the quite times with individual kids praying for them and getting them brave enough to pray for me. It's a wonder that as a kid grows, their ability to pray out loud diminishes if not prompted continuously by their parents and teachers. This was a lesson to me to always give my kids the courage to pray out loud in a group.
Son fell sick 2nd day of the camp. Which made me feel sad because there is a different kind of bond that is developed when you 'play' with your son in a church camp. The setting is formal and you see the way he interacts with his peers and group leaders. And you see that social part of him that emerging right before your eyes. It was touching to a mother seeing her son in a different light.
At the end of the camp, I did feel a little sad. Partly because I know the stories of my kids and feel sad that I cannot follow up further. Partly also when you have pushed yourself to the high, coming back down to the middle ground takes another round of effort. After surviving the camp, teaching, being teacher in charge and even organizing Easter and Field Trips ain't that hard. Perhaps because the people I need to be involved with are a great bunch. Working with any other people I don't know still seems a far off ability.

After a disappointing start to the summer weather-wise, it has been a wonderfully warm, sunny weekend. I type this sitting in the back yard, as the dogs wrestle and run through the grass. Yes, I love wireless networking; being able to work or study outdoors makes it much more enjoyable.
Last weekend we were in Edmonton for a friend's wedding. It was a nice weekend away from the city, and the bride and groom's families showed us great hospitality, with lots of especially good food. Unfortunately, it poured rained pretty much the entire weekend, even causing some flooding on roads, but the weather did nothing to dampen the exuberant spirit of the simcha.
Wait a second: did I say dogs up there? As in plural? Yes, it's true: we got a second one! After much contemplation and discussion with other two-dog owners, we decided it was a good idea for several reasons, primarily for companionship (the dogs focus on each other instead of us, especially when we're out), and because having two dogs is really no more work than having one.
The new guy is a three-month-old Shitzhu (same as Cookie, except male), black and white, and to continue the naming theme he is called Oreo. We are in the process of house training him, which so far is going much more smoothly that it was for Cookie when she was a puppy. Even in just a few days, the two dogs have bonded quite closely, and won't leave each other alone. My favourite is when they play, wrestle and run, and then collapse into deep sleep for hours.
