Bourjois Paris Ombre A Paupieres UK Colors: The Sequel
I'm still digging through my box of goodies from the UK! I happened across ANOTHER Bourjois Paris eyeshadow in Prune Intense. It's a gorgeous deep purple that reminds me of MAC's Entremauve Pigment but this is far more wearable for me as it shows a tad bit lighter and has some more shimmer to it!
Just beautiful!
You can see my other post with other colors of Bourjois Paris Ombre A Paupieres UK colors by clicking here!
I can't wait to do an FOTD with this color!

It's no secret that most kids aren't big fans of school, and after a long day in the classroom, the last thing they want to do is talk about it. However, as a father, it's important to connect with your kids, and asking about their experiences at school is a great way to get to know what they like and dislike, their struggles and success, and who they're growing into.
It can still be difficult to get your kids to open up, though, so check out these fives things you should say to your kids to start a conversation about their days at school
The key to getting your kids talking is to be specific. Open-ended questions like "How was your day?" are too broad to be of much good to a kid, but focusing on certain aspects of their school days can lead to more interesting and longer answers.

You might have already noticed the minor change at the store register.
Instead of swiping credit cards and debit cards, more retailers are asking consumers to dip them into new card readers that are supposed to be more secure. The technology uses cards with chips embedded in them, and is supposed to cut down dramatically on incidents of thieves stealing card information and making fake copies.
Businesses have been installing the new readers slowly, but more might have them up and running by Thursday, the deadline set by major credit card issuers for merchants to have the updated card terminals. Those that don't have the readers by then could be on the hook for any losses caused by credit-card fraud – as opposed to banks being liable, as is the case now.
The transition should be pretty straightforward for consumers, but it can still take a little getting used to. Here's a rundown of what credit card holders need to know.
How do these chip cards work, and what makes them more secure?
Basically, chip cards are credit cards or debit cards with a computer chip embedded in them. Instead of sending retailers and card companies the same information each time they're used, the way the magnetic stripe on cards works now, the chip sends out a unique code for each transaction.
The idea is that any thief who is able to intercept the code won't be able to use it again to make a fraudulent purchase with a fake version of the card later on. Anyone who would try to use a fake magnetic stripe version of the card at a chip terminal would be prompted to insert the card into the chip slot, said Stephanie Ericksen, vice president of risk products at Visa. The transaction would then fail, she said.
So what should I do at the register?
Unless you are told otherwise by the cashier, you should swipe your card as usual. Some terminals will recognize the chip and ask you to dip the card into the slot under the keypad, said Deborah Baxley, a principal in Capgemini Financial's Cards & Payments unit. Swiping is typically a flick-of-the-wrist movement, but when you are using a chip reader, you don't want to remove the card quickly. You'll need to leave the card in place for a few seconds until the transaction is complete, Baxley said.
I don't have a chip card yet. Should I be worried?
No. Your older magnetic stripe card should still work at most retailers. And banks are still in the process of sending the new cards out to consumers. Fifty-seven percent of consumers had at least one chip card as of July, according to a survey by Visa.
Some banks are aiming to send them out by the end of the year, but for some cardholders, the new cards may not arrive until 2016. Consumers who want to get a new card can call their credit-card companies and request one, said Matt Schulz, a senior industry analyst for CreditCards.com.
Why haven't I seen chip readers at more retailers?
After Oct. 1, the date set by issuers, such as Visa and MasterCard, merchants who don't have the new readers may become liable for fraud that results from stolen data.
About 44 percent of merchants surveyed by Visa said they had installed a chip reader as of July. That percentage will grow over the next several years, but adoption may be slow, especially among smaller stores, whose owners might feel like they can't afford the new technology. Based on how the transition played out in Europe, Ericksen estimates it may be two to three years before roughly 70 percent of in-store transactions are done using the new technology.

ParkeBank will begin distribution of chip card starting in April 2016.

Just a few days ago, Equifax Inc. announced that their systems were hacked on July 29 which led to personal user information being leaked. Over 143 million people were affected and their information compromised. After some investigation, it was found that the types of data stolen include Social Security numbers, addresses, birth dates, driver's license numbers, and even credit card information.Are you part of the 143 million people affected and don't know what to do next? Here's a quick guide we made on what to do to protect your credit score and finances.
Don't know if you're one of the 143 million people? Check here through Equifax's website.
Step 1: Enroll in TrustedID
The very first step you should take upon learning that you were one of the people whose information was leaked is to avail Equifax's free one-year credit monitoring service called TrustedID. As part of their solution and mitigation on the incident, they are offering a free one-year credit monitoring service for both affected and unaffected customers. However, do note that this is not a permanent solution as your data can be kept by hackers for an extended period of time and can still be used after a year. You can apply for the one-year free credit monitoring service here. (This offer only lasts until November 21, 2017)
With this service, you are entitled to these features:
- A copy of your Equifax credit reports
- Free Identity theft protection
- Identity theft insurance
- Internet scanning for your Social Security Number
- A year of credit monitoring across all three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and the TransUnion)
- Internet scanning for your SSN to see if it pops up on websites.
- The ability to security freeze or unfreeze your Equifax credit report for one year
There have been issues where checking if you are part of the people affected revokes your right for legal action against Equifax. However, they have updated their terms and removed the line that revokes your right to legal action. Now, scanning won't revoke your right to legal action.
Step 2: Gather your credit reports
It is best that you gather all credit reports from all credit rating companies for the past four months right now and check if there are any irregularities since this breach happened four months ago already. You are entitled to a free credit report once every 12 months as stated in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Your free credit report is respective per credit rating company so you can spread it out to ensure relative consistency.
If you do spot that there are irregularities, immediately contact the Federal Trade Commission and your local law enforcement. The Federal Trade Commission will act as your coordinator for the identity theft issue.
There are also services available that give you frequent updates on your credit reports. It is best that you enroll on one as this will help you directly spot irregularities that happen with your score and information.
Step 3: Freeze your credit report data
It is highly advised that you freeze your credit report immediately with all three major credit reporting agencies. Freezing your credit report will stop anyone (including yourself) from applying for a credit or a credit report under your name. With this, identity thieves will have a very difficult time in opening accounts under your name as most creditors check your credit report first before approving. The only people that should have access to your credit report once it's frozen are existing creditors, debt collectors, and government agencies with a court order, a subpoena, or a search warrant.
You can, however, lift this anytime but charges will incur and will depend on your local state laws.
To freeze your account, you have to contact the credit reporting companies and supply them with your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and other personal information. After receiving your freeze request, these credit reporting companies will send you a confirmation letter with a unique PIN (personal identification number). Make sure to keep the PIN in a safe place as you need this to lift the freeze.
You can contact the credit reporting companies through their following numbers:
- Equifax — 1-800-349-9960
- Experian — 1‑888‑397‑3742
- TransUnion — 1-888-909-8872
Step 4: File your taxes early
ArsTechnica brings up a very good point that you should file your taxes early as the hackers can use the personal information they gathered to file tax returns for tax refunds. If they file it ahead of you, you won't get your tax refunds as they have been filed already by someone else.
Step 5: Be careful
Lastly, be very careful with people claiming to be debt collectors or tax authorities. Even if they are able to provide you your Social Security number and other personal information, remember that your information has been leaked. Always double check with the creditors to ensure that you are not paying to these scammers.
Did you know that this isn't the first hack that has happened this year? Breaches happen daily and your personal information may be compromised. Check if your accounts are breached for free with LoginAlarm.

No one has no way of knowing who is more deserving of being in the BCS Championship Game to face Ohio State.
People may claim they know, people can make strong arguments for one team, or another, or a third, and you can listen to the evidence and say, "Yeah, that makes sense!" Then someone counterpoints it and you go "Wait, that makes sense too!"
(For a beautiful example of this, please see The
Whole Picture entry at MGoBlog. Seriously, we appreciate
Brian et al for all of the efforts. It scares us, but still, we love
I have heard the following compelling arguments either in writing or on the air:
USC played the hardest schedule in the country...
...but USC's loss was not to SEC West winner Arkansas or Big XII North champion Nebraska, but to 8-4 Oregon State, who was smoked by Boise State 42-14.
Michigan has the "Best Loss", by three points to #1 Ohio
State, at Ohio State, in the dark, wearing sunglasses...
...but Michigan nearly lost to Ball State at home and that three point loss to tOSU was not a close three point loss.
(Real quick on this, I don't buy the "almost lost to Ball State" argument. Michigan didn't win pretty in that one, but you know, they did win by eight and all.)
Florida (provided they beat Arkansas in the SEC title game)
played in the hardest conference in football and deserves their shot
for that...
...but not for the fact that they scheduled Division I-AA Western Carolina, and UCF (which I believe is a show on Spike). I will not go after Florida for Florida State being down this year, that's a weak argument.
(Florida is hurt by the "style points" notion, in that they have a pair of one point wins at Neyland and at home in "Return of the Spurrier", but there is a difference between winning and escaping.)
There are dozens of points like this and I could go on and on, but well, honestly, I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so...
When you set everything aside, I'll go back to Brian's point
at the end:
"USC's tiebreaker is Arkansas and Nebraska versus our
Vanderbilt, Central Michigan, and Ball State. They took on two
above-average BCS teams. We took on the worst team in the SEC and two
MAC teams, though one of them happens to be okay this year. Set aside
the Michigan fandom and look at the big picture: if USC has this season
and does not make the NC game, no one will ever schedule anyone again.
It's time to take the bullet."
This is ironic, but this is where Michigan Stadium hurts Michigan. Because of the scope of Michigan's gate receipts, it is unlikely that Michigan will make a larger reach than our traditional MACrifices (TM University of Pittsburgh) and occasional random Rice/Vanderbilt/etc. I have believe that Michigan should aim for a Georgia Tech, a Missouri, or head back out to the coast (which, OK, we're playing Oregon next year, but we're also playing Eastern Michigan as "Opponent as Yet to Be Named")
But there's one other thing I have said from the start:
"This may surprise some, but I am not in favor of a rematch between Michigan and Ohio State, largely because something would feel incomplete about Michigan getting to call itself national champion because it beat Ohio State last. Granted, it would be a neutral site game, but if the roles were reversed and Michigan had won by a small margin at home, I would be upset if tOSU got to claim the crystal ball because they won last."
At the end of the whole conversation, it comes back to one
critical thing:
No one has no
way of knowing who is more deserving of being in the BCS Championship
Game to face Ohio State. They may think they know, they may believe
they know, but they cannot actually know, because there is no way to
make that case in a compelling fashion that is absolutely certain.
To close, I turn to the wisdom of Michigan alumnus, Dr.
Gregory House:
"I'm sure this goes against everything you've been taught, but right and wrong do exist. Just because you don't know what the right answer is - maybe there's even no way you could know what the right answer is - doesn't make your answer right or even okay. It's much simpler than that. It's just plain wrong."(P.S.: As I mentioned on Deadspin yesterday:
"I won't push for a title game rematch between Michigan and Ohio State as long as the Rose Bowl people don't give us a Michigan/Notre Dame rematch in Pasadena. Playing Notre Dame three times in 53 weeks would get my bile up in an uncomfortable spot in my throat. Michigan/LSU could be intriguing, but who knows???")

There is some disagreement about when death actually occurs. Physicians insist that it is when their shiny instruments can no longer discern life's presence. They imagine it departs with the last breath. Others say death begins at conception and does not end until that which noisily hurls itself into birth has realized that which remains silently unborn. Still others claim the moment of death occurs when the heart stops. But the heart never stops, for when it is no longer contained between opposing ventricles it expands slowly into its inherent vastness without missing a beat, expressing the truth it has embraced for a lifetime.
Death, like birth, is not an emergency but an emergence. Death is akin to a flower opening: It is nearly impossible to tell exactly when the bud starts to become the blossom, or when the seed-laden blossom begins to burst and release its bounty.
Those who know the process directly—from experiences shared with the dying, from decades of meditation, from moments of spontaneous grace, from eucharists of every description—do not speak of death as a single moment before which you are alive and after which you are not. They refer instead to 'a point of remembrance' in which the holding to life transforms into a letting go into death. It is, just a little way into the process, the moment when something is suddenly remembered that it seems impossible to have forgotten. We 'remember' how safe death is, we recall the benefits of being free of the limitations of the body, and we ask ourselves somewhat incredulously, 'How could I have forgotten something so important, and what was it again that made me want to stay in a body?' Death takes on an entirely new context.
At that moment, just before we feel the lightness lifting us from our body, while we are still trying to capture each molecule of oxygen just to stay alive another instant, we suddenly remember we are not the body, never have been, never will be! Resistance vanishes into a glimpse of our long-migrating spirit. We cut the moorings and dive into the ocean of being, expanding from our body, the mind floating free.
I do not know if this is 'the moment of death,' but I do know this insight changes everything. No longer holding back, we feel ourselves dissolving safe and sound into an increasingly joyous, even youthful, sense of heading home.
From this boundless perspective we can appreciate, beyond all worldly reason, how perfect a teaching even death can be, and how immense and intricately woven is the miraculous process of our evolution.

How much do you love snowmobiling? Hur mycket älskar du snöskoter? Hvor mye liker du snøscooterkjøring? Kuinka paljon rakastat moottorikelkkailua?
Abisko National Park is one of Sweden's wonderful national parks and was established in 1909. As part of the land that was traditionally used by the indigenous Sami people, it now plays an important part in international space and polar research. It holds keys to our past as well as our future. Much of the land is untouched by modern development and perfect for exploring.
One of the great things about Abisko National park is that it's not just for the hiking enthusiast. There are indoor activities and transportation, shops and restaurants guarantee that there's something for everyone, no matter what age, interest or level of energy. While some of the longer trails might require some planning ahead, many activities are available at the spur of the moment. Make the most of your trip by booking activities beforehand.
What is Naturum? It is simply the main place to go whether you're interested in hard facts or a basic guide to nature in Lapland. They are all about plants, geology, climate and history. You'll find Naturum – the nature centre - housed within Abisko National Park and there they offer exhibits and lectures. If you're interested, you can also get one of their guides to take you through a tour of nature. No question is too hard for the people at Naturum.
Midnight sun and the northern lights
It is said that no place else on earth gives you a better chance of seeing the midnight sun and the northern lights. While the northern lights are visible all through winter, in order to catch the midnight sun you better be there between mid-May to end-July. It is even more spectacular to see from the top of Mount Nuolja. From the end of August until mid-April, the astounding green dance of the northern lights is truly a must-see.
The research station
Abisko Scientific Research Station is dedicated to observing, monitoring and experimenting with all things terrestrial. Lately, their research has especially been focused on ecological issues. The ongoing climate change that affects us all is probably the most visible in the more northern parts of the world. This has made Abisko Scientific Research Station a natural place for groundbreaking study of the climate. Even if you aren't knee deep in science, you simply can't avoid the enthusiasm they bring to the table.
Don't forget the hiking
Yes, it's in a way unavoidable. Sometimes you must hike. Much of the beauty of northern Sweden lies in the nature and some parts are only accessible by foot. Other than up on the amazing mount Mount Nuolja, there are marked trails with varying hiking difficulty. If you're up to it, you can go on your own but there are also skilled guides available. The advantage of a guided tour is that you'll be able to put much of what you experience into a greater context. Don't miss a unique opportunity to truly feel both nature and history come together in your own personal experience. For more details of one of the hike trails, click here.

Waterless Urinals Introduced for Home Use
Sami and I have been preoccupied with pee for a long time, wondering why we don't have urinals in our homes. After all, they use a lot less water than a toilet and are probably more sanitary as it is harder to miss.
Now the Waterless Company, inventor of the waterless urinal, has introduced a smaller and cheaper model that is suitable for the home. The President tells Alex Wilson at Green Building Advisor that if there are two males in the house it can save 3,250 gallons of water per year.
Wilson writes:
[Waterless President Klaus] Reichardt told me that they're getting a lot of calls from diabetics who have to urinate frequently and who hate to waste all the water. While these water savings should not be dismissed, I suspect that the primary motivation for purchases -- if it succeeds -- will be more about sanitation and reduced cleaning needs than it is about water savings.
I don't know why diabetics don't follow the "if it's yellow let it mellow" rule, but will let that pass. Alex also notes that waterless toilets are not without their problems, (see What is the Cause of "Stinky Situation" With Waterless Urinals?) but much of those are due to lousy maintenance and people putting things in them that they shouldn't, which is less likely to happen in a home.
But there is another very good reason to look forward to widespread acceptance of waterless urinals in homes: easy urine separation and collection. We have noted before that it is a wasted resource that may be needed soon for its phosphorus, and that is is a pollutant. Home urinals could take almost half of the stuff out of the waste stream. Perhaps sitting in our gardens next to our rainwater barrels should be pee barrels, connected to the waterless urinals.

Where: HuHot Mongolian Grill, 693 N 920 E, Spanish Fork
Who Went: Chelsey & Owen
Number of Visits: 1
What We Ordered: 2 Dinner Buffets (one with sweet & sour soup, the other with Asian salad)
What It Cost: $36.78
What We Thought:
Continuing on the Asian theme from last week, we decided to make a visit to HuHot Mongolian Grill in Spanish Fork. After trying Mongo's Stir Fry in Provo (I can't find my pictures anywhere!!! We loved it, but it might be closed? Let us know if you know anything about this!!), we were pretty excited. Excited enough to make a trip all the way down to Spanish Fork, after all :)
I was put off from the start of the visit by the service - I am that annoying customer who always asks to be sat next to a window (hey! It was really dark in the restaurant, and I am taking pictures for all of you here!), and for some reason they refused to seat us at one of the several empty tables that were near windows. They claimed something about having to keep a rotation or something, and assured me that those tables were being used or reserved, but two of them stayed empty during our whole stay. It's a little thing, I know, but it really was only in their benefit (photo-wise). Oh well.
We ordered the dinner buffet, since that was really the only option for dinner. You have to get the full, all-you-can-eat buffet choice, and there are no cheaper options for people who aren't really in the mood to eat a ton, which was a bummer. I started out with the Asian salad, and to be honest, it looked so bleh that I didn't even really eat it. The dressing was weak (thus, dry salad), the raw broccoli was gross, and really - who is going to eat a salad when they can get as many noodles as they want? Don't fill up on this. Plus the whole package of ramen noodles on top was rather deterring.
Owen got the sweet and sour soup, which was alright. Pretty brothy and mild. Not good, but not bad.
Then we got in line to make our noodle stir fry. They have three types of noodles, various meats (pork, beef, chicken, even tofu!), an assortment of vegetables, and a whole lot of sauces. The sauces are really the highlight here, and for those of you who are easily intimidated, they have sample "recipes" where you can combine various sauces for more interesting flavor profiles.
So you load up everything onto a plate, and then get in line to have it fried for you on the Mongolian grill. Somehow, all of those foods magically cook at the same rates, and they mix, chop and fry it all up for you right then and there. This part is pretty fun, and though you can tell they are dying of sweat and exhaustion, the fry cooks put on a little show, throwing knives and such around. I hope they are getting paid a lot!
After waiting in two, possibly three, lines, you can finally eat your food! It's really hard to comment on the flavors of the food here, since it's your own fault if you put together a bad plate of stir fry! It's really up to you to make a good combo of meat, vegetables, and sauces. The ingredients on their own were all fresh and mostly well-cooked (broccoli and potatoes turned out a little raw, so be warned), and it's a great place for picky eaters! The only bummer was both Owen and I were totally full after one round.
We went back because we felt like we had to "get our money's worth," and $18 for one plate of stir fry really did not seem worthwhile. But we ending up totally stuffing our faces (and stomachs), and regretting it afterwards.
What You Should Do: If you're in the mood, you better come very hungry. Or if you're like a football player or something, this place may be good for you. If you are a regular person who generally only eats one plate of food per meal, you may be disappointed by high costs. We loved Mongo's because they had different size options (small, large, or all-you-can-eat) with better prices, and if HuHot went this route, we would totally be down with it. But for how much normally eat, we both thought it was too expensive. Plus they forgot our rice (not that we would have eaten it...)

Last week I finally visited one of the prettiest restaurants in Copenhagen, Mielcke & Hurtigkarl. It is situated by the entrance of the Frederiksberg park and everything is very calm, airy and light. It feels like a green house and as a guest you feel like a precious orchid taken very well care of. We… Read More Mielcke and Hurtigkarl – Copenhagen
The Social Act #9 – Copenhagen 2014
They call themselves I'm a Kombo. Because that is what they are. Two guys with each their competencies and interests but also with a common denominator- food. Chefs and entrepreneurs. Caterers and consultants. Lasse and Bo, friends and colleagues. Cool and really nice. The latter being my personal opinion after I met them at one… Read More The Social Act #9 – Copenhagen 2014
Restaurant STUDIO Copenhagen
Claus Meyer did it again. He opened a restaurant. In Copenhagen. Serving nordic food. Well. actually it's three restaurants. And they are in a really good spot close to the old harbour, Nyhavn. On the opposite site of noma. But restaurants in this building did not use to live very long. It's a little off the… Read More Restaurant STUDIO Copenhagen
Wine tasting at BROR
The Copenhagen Cooking festival is the time to visit Copenhagen if you are a foodie! The whole city is bustling with food fairs, pop-up restaurants and various food themed happenings. This August my friend and I visited the newly opened restaurant BROR for a wine tasting during the festival. We were placed at a table… Read More Wine tasting at BROR
Amass – the alumni strike back
The noma kitchens attract chefs from all over the world for a learning and hard work experience. Not even the wind and the cold weather scares these guys and girls away and they stay in Copenhagen even when they decide to go on, leave noma and start their own place.

Tired of Living Like a Refugee
Categories: Contemplation in Action, Estate Management, Healing Grief & Loss, Survivor's Mission, Trauma Recovery & Renewal
Or, yet another example of Start Where You Are (Chödrön, P., 1994)
Nearly six years after our move to this home in Topsfield, MA (February 17, 2009), and the traumas of losing both parents, now water under the bridge… continually falling ever-so-softly down a rocky edge to a deep pool below… I'm noticing moss and lichen tucked in crevices birthing ever new meaning in the dark and cool wetness.
Survivor's mission, compassion fatigue, and estate-management fatigue are part of my personal fabric now. These life experiences I didn't ask for, but received blindsided. I realize I have tempered my emotional overwhelm with an unconscious-becoming-conscious psychic numbing which is beginning to wear-off. It is like a fog being lifted to reveal a high-definition clarity.
This morning I unpacked a box I labeled "Yoga Supplies" when I packed my previous practice space at my family home (now sold seven months) in Syracuse, NY. It was like unwrapping pieces of my broken heart and restoring them to built-in shelves in my new home yoga practice space. As the pieces were restored, I felt some settling in my soul.
Today I begin a new morning practice looking forward to feeling more and more settled: body, mind, and spirit.
I have planned an estate-management respite break this August and early September.
I will resume estate-management beginning with Estate Triage Room A in mid-September.
Moving forward with a listening heart,
vision, inquiry, and action,
~ Mary

Always a fantastic service at a great price!!
Great value
By LoulocketLeeds 10/02/2016
Amazing service and great value. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Courteous staff
By Andy Q 26/02/2016
I found the staff to be most courteous and my vehicle was diagnosed and the fuel pump was at fault. I decided not to have to work done as it was an old vehicle and not cost effective to be honest. They did not charge me for diagnosing the fault which I was very grateful for. So I would definitely recommend this business to anyone.
You will not be disappointed.
By John 25/10/2019
Had injector seals done, studs on head still leaking, gary and andy went out there way to seal them. Found other problems in engine but rather than rip customer off they advised me to sell car rather than squeeze me for money.
Really excellent service from these lads.
You will not be disappointed.

How soon can I be seen?
We offer same-day emergency services at both of our practice locations. If at all possible, we will work to see you on a same-day basis and to get you out of pain and back to functioning.

Broken Tooth – Call (855) 263-4605
A big presentation for work. An interview lunch. A family wedding. For many patients, a cracked or broken tooth can be the biggest emergency, even if it's not yet painful. At Dental Professionals, we understand that you need to be able to s
mile, to speak in public, to eat in social settings, and we will work with you to quickly find both short and long term solutions to keep you moving, wherever work and life need you.
What to do if a tooth is knocked out: Call (855) 263-4605
For permanent teeth that are knocked out, rinse the tooth and put it back in the socket.

|May the light of Aether shine upon our enemies forever!
—Returning the Sky Temple Key
A-Kul is one of the 10 Luminoth Keybearers in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Both of her cadres were attacked, and she tried to send S-Jrs back for reinforcements, though he did not survive the trip. She was the only one to successfully complete the Keybearer mission, inserting her key into the base of the Sky Temple, the Sky Temple Gateway. Before her death, she stored clues on her nine fallen compatriots within the keyholes they failed to fill in an effort to aid future warriors, in case they should attempt to complete the mission.
Most lore names her as the "Champion of Aether", likely a title given to the mightiest of the Luminoth warriors. Certain Luminoth artifacts, such as the Dark Visor[1], Dark Suit and Annihilator Beam[2], are stated by the Temple sentinels to have belonged to the Luminoth's champion, implying that these items once belonged to A-Kul, before Samus Aran recovered them and used them against the Ing.
Logbook entryEdit
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Soon I shall pass to final rest. My key is in place. Through my spiritual link to the others, I know where their bodies lie. I shall leave this knowledge, that their last location in the dark world can be known. May this knowledge lead our warriors to the Sky Temple Keys.
The time draws near. Hear the words of A-Kul, she they call Champion of Aether. Know that my warriors fought and died with uncommon valor. Do not look unkindly upon their failure, for they died to save us all.
Notes and ReferencesEdit
- ^ Metroid Prime 2: Echoes; A-Voq: "Our champion wore a visor that pierced the veil of Dark Aether's eternal night. Take it back from the Ing. Let no darkness slow your mighty hand."
- ^ Metroid Prime 2: Echoes; O-Lir: "The strongest weapon of our champion is in the hands of the enemy. It fires a blast of light and dark energy, and has no equal. Find it soon!"

Dipping my Toe in the Advocacy PoolPosted on
So when Shelby from Diabetic Foodie approached me to join her to talk to our Congressman on behalf of the American Diabetes Association, I jumped at the chance. I met Shelby through our local DiabetesSisters' group. She had previously attended ADA's Call to Congress last March and the ADA has asked her to continue her advocating throughout the year which included meeting with our representatives during the August recess.
We met with a staffer for Congressman Brat, who represents the 7th District of Virginia. She was very welcoming and engaged. Shelby and I shared our stories about life with diabetes, representing both type 1 (myself) and type 2 (Shelby). We then proceeded to ask for certain things for the upcoming 2018 fiscal year:

The 8th annual Diabetes Blog Week (thanks Karen!) came and went by way too fast! I always enjoy this week because it's a great chance to find some new DBlogs and it gives me some motivation to write my own posts. This year the topics were good but I'll admit by day 4, I was starting to feel pretty down about diabetes. I somehow did manage to read all the posts and I tried hard to comment on as many as I could. Here are some of the posts that I enjoyed:
Diabetes Blog Week – More Than DiabetesPosted on
Today's Diabetes Blog Week topic: More Than Diabetes:
Lets wrap up the week by sharing a little more about ourselves, beyond the chronic illness we or our loved ones live with. Share an interest, hobby, passion, something that is YOU. If you want to explore how it relates to or helps with diabetes you can. Or let it be a part of you that is completely separate from diabetes, because there is more to life than just diabetes! (This topic is a suggestion from the 2016 #DBlogWeek survey.)

Collaborative Divorce in New Jersey
Collaborative Law offers divorcing couples an alternative to litigation which is based upon mutual problem solving. The parties and their attorneys, along with other professionals involved (e.g., custody experts, forensic accountants, etc.) agree in writing to work together toward an agreement without litigating in court.
Collaborative Law provides divorcing couples with a viable, meaningful, less contentious alternative to litigation which is all too often expensive, time consuming, emotionally draining and devastating to families.
Gary Borger and Bruce Matez attended advanced training in December 2010 and are founding members (along with a small group of other South Jersey divorce attorneys, family therapists, and forensic accountants) of the South Jersey Collaborative Divorce Professionals (the first of its kind in the area).
Deena Betze Esq. has also acquired training and is a member of the South Jersey Collaborative Divorce Professionals.
BorgerMatez offers Collaborative Divorce in addition to mediation as alternatives to traditional divorce litigation for its clients.

A radical proposal to extend Crossrail to Stansted and enlarge the airport to create a new UK air travel hub in Essex has been revealed.
A radical proposal to extend Crossrail to Stansted and enlarge the airport to create a new UK air travel hub in Essex has been revealed.
Just weeks after the government launched an independent commission into the country's aviation capacity chaired by Howard Davies, London planning expert Brian Waters and transport consultancy guru Michael Schabas have unveiled a 'near-term' vision to tackle congestion.
Waters chairs the National and London Planning Forum while Schabas played a key role in the development of the Jubilee Line Extension when vice president Transport of Canary Wharf Developments (see also Planning in London).
The scheme is the latest proposed solution to south east England's airport shortfall, which so far includes Norman Foster's £50 billion Thames Airport and a floating airstrip by Gensler.
The proposal features a new £3 billion Crossrail spur linking Heathrow, the City and Canary Wharf to the Foster-designed 1991 airport which they claim has room for three new runways.
Although plans for a new Stansted runway were withdrawn two years ago, a new owner could revive the expansion. Earlier this month London mayor Boris Johnson said a Thames hub or expanded Stansted were London's best options.
Terry Farrell, who criticised Foster's proposal to redevelop Heathrow and create a new Thames Estuary airport, said Waters and Schabas' scheme possessed 'considerable merit'.
Weston Williamson's Rob Naybour was also supportive, suggesting it would be 'relatively straightforward' to extend the rail line. 'Residents of Bishop's Stortford may not be in favour but it would take decades to come to fruition so they would have plenty of time to move,' he said.
But HOK aviation and transportation director Richard Gammon said overseas competitors were already benefitting from the UK's 'slow response' to the capacity shortage and called on the government to act 'decisively' to support growth in the 'UK's only true international hub' at Heathrow.
Chris Bennie, principal director at TP Bennett, said environmental, political and population density factors meant expanding Heathrow or Gatwick would be 'stop-gaps'
solutions at best.
Stansted's advantage over the Thames Estuary proposal, he added, was the fact it already existed and appeared to possess no physical or technical barriers to expansion. While a 'blank canvas', the Thames Estuary scheme included 'cost, programme and deliverability' unknowns and would require a full environmental impact assessment. 'None of which bodes well for an early delivery,' he said.
Further comment
Chris Johnson, regional managing principal at Gensler
We endorse the Mayor's view that new hub capacity is urgently required and that the best place for this is to the east of London.
It is our view that Stansted and Gatwick will continue to have an important role to play in the long term aviation strategy for London but that a major new hub with an intercontinental high speed interchange must be central to this strategy.
While we would support improvements to the rail links to both Stansted and Gatwick the new Estuary Airport offers a unique opportunity to create an integrated interchange between international high speed rail, national rail and metro. It is essential that Crossrail is connected to the new hub airport and the easiest and lowest cost option is to provide a single stop extension from Abbey Wood.
The strategy for London Britannia Airport is to provide a long term strategy for airport capacity and for securing London's economic future. To provide four appropriately located runways is a minimum but their needs to be flexibility for six runways in the future.
Richard Beastall, principal director at tp Bennett
As architects we work with many global businesses and it is so crucial to finally resolve the problems of over capacity at Heathrow so we can continue to attract dynamic expanding businesses to the London region and the UK. These businesses have offices all over the world and travel frequently between them and can therefore relocate at short notice.
We have a client in Geneva who is moving his Corporate Head Office to the UK, who was bemoaning the lack of flight connections to Geneva. He wants and needs to be able to get to his global offices with a single overnight flight!
The lack of regular flights to expanding economies should be of major concern to the UK. Delays and queues due to congestion at Heathrow are becoming totally unacceptable to time poor business travellers and it is ludicrous to have planes circulating in ever increasing circles over London depositing huge quantities of pollution and generating unnecessary noise over millions of people.
A third short runway at Heathrow would only be a stop gap, we need a decent world class 4 runway airport hub with good transport connections and room to expand, without delay, whether at Stanstead or in The Thames Estuary.
Jerry Tate of Jerry Tate Architects
Whilst everyone should fly less for environmental reasons, realistically we have to compete with other growing transport hubs across the world and have to address the growth of our aviation capacity. Heathrow is clearly not the best location for an airport in London (why have planes flying low over Kew?) and a new island (ignoring wildlife concerns) seems attractive. The big problem is the lead-in time for any new airport and infrastructure; a government which decides to go ahead is unlikely to be in power when the project is completed. We need a politically 'selfless' decision now in order to give certainty for the future transport capacity of our capital.

Just a quick recipe post since I finally got spelt crust to work the way I wanted last night! The result was a rather epic pizza.
Faux sausage, three colors of bell pepper, red onion, white mushrooms, broccoli, and mozzarella-style Daiya…on spelt crust. I've been a fan of spelt ever since making Homey Vegetable Stew with Dumplings from The 30-Minute Vegan, which uses spelt flour for the dumplings. I like the texture and I think it lends itself well to biscuits and crusts.
Spelt Pizza Crust & Calzone Dough
adapted from Robin Robertson's Basic Pizza Dough in 1,000 Vegan Recipes
makes 1 large 8-cut pizza or 4 calzones
2 1/4 cups spelt flour
3/4 cup + 2 tsp. warm water
1 3/4 tsp. active dry yeast
pinch sugar or natural sweetener
pinch salt
olive oil (for the bowl)
1) In a large mixing bowl, stir together water and yeast until the yeast is dissolved.
2) Add the sugar and salt, then stir in the flour to form a dough. Add more water if the dough is too dry or more flour if it's too sticky. It should be slightly tacky to the touch, but shouldn't stick to your fingers.
3) Knead the dough in the bowl until it's smooth and springs back a bit when you press your fingers into it. Form the dough into a ball and take it out of the bowl.
4) Lightly oil the bowl with some olive oil and replace the dough. Cover with a cloth or dish towel and place in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
5) When you're ready to use it, punch the dough down and proceed with whatever recipe you like!
This dough can be used wherever regular pizza dough is called for.

Madsaki Hosts His Largest Solo Exhibition In Central Embassy
If you'd had the chance to venture a visit to Central Embassy recently, surely you've noticed a somewhat crude but undeniably fascinating exhibition on the ground floor by an artist named Madsaki.
Madsaki's works, which could be described as a mixture of "vandalised" fine art classics and profane tributes to his favourite movies and cartoons, may appear to fall under the category of street art but on closer encounter, reveal a technique and an intention similar in spirit to that of the masters he imitates.
Called "Combination Platter", Madsaki's exhibition at the Central Embassy—his largest solo exhibition to date—is a reflection of the artist's mixed sense of identity, being Japanese but having spent most of his youth in melting pot America. In explaining the largest piece in this collection, a 13-metre long mural of various iconic cartoons, from Sesame Street characters to Doraemon and Star Wars, Madsaki says, "I grew up looking at cartoons—Japanese cartoons to American cartoons—and looking at art history, to me it's the same exact thing. It's just Bugs Bunny or it's Da Vinci. To me, it's the same thing. I just wanted to mash up all the cartoons I grew up watching. And all the cartoons I selected have a meaning for me."
Big Bird, for instance, is one of the artist's symbol of learning the English language. "I moved to the States when I was six years old. I couldn't speak any English at that time... I learned English, looking at Sesame Street."
You'll notice, however, that Big Bird in Madsaki's epic lineup of cartoon carries a phrase Big Bird would never say on Sesame Street. Madsaki describes this as a sort of way of giving back to his "teacher" of English. "It's a dedication; it's like a self-portrait in a bizarre."
Besides his mashup of cartoons, Madsaki is widely recognised for works in which a famous scene or painting is remade with a drippy spray-painted smiley face. In fact, you could say that a Madsaki-styled Matisse is where his fame all started…
A quick Google search on Madsaki will bring up the name Takashi Murakami, a living legend in the world of contemporary art. Three years ago, Murakami found Madsaki on Instagram and commented that he wanted to purchase one of the paintings on Madsaki's Instagram. Shortly after, the painting made it to Takashi's private collection show at Yokohama Museum, to which Madsaki attended—uninvited—and revealed to Takashi that it was him, the painter of the "Matisse".
That was the beginning of Madsaki and Murakami's friendship and soon after, they did a show together that saw Madsaki recreating Murakami's signature smiling flowers with the Madsaki drippy smiley face. The collaboration with Murakami and parody of Murakami's work catapulted Madsaki's name in today's maintain art society.
"The thing is I'm 44 years old," said Madsaki when we spoke to him at the launch of his Bangkok exhibition, "and I was painting since Parsons (Madsaki's alma mater). And my life started after I met Murakami, so you can tell how fucking hard that is."
If that isn't a clear enough picture of the perseverance it takes to be an artist, Madsaki shares that in his first week at Parsons School of Design, his professor told him he wasn't going to make it and that he should quit right there and then.
"The funny thing is I'm doing what they told me not to do in four years. They said 'don't do this, don't do this, don't do this,' but I'm doing exactly what they told me not to do, and I'm here."
Here he is indeed. Find Madsaki's assorted styles in "Combination Platter" at the ground floor of Central Embassy from today until June 3. A series of limited edition Madsaki merchandise is also available at Central Embassy's Siwilai store during the exhibition period or until stocks last. @madsaki @centralembassy

Genetic information extracted and analyzed during genealogy DNA tests is arguably the most personal data about you. Like any other kind of sensitive information, it is wise to safeguard your DNA results. Privacy concerns are worth your attention, but they need not be an obstacle that prevents you from using DNA tests to further your family history research.
Millions of people around the world have submitted DNA kits to Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA and other services in order to learn about their ethnic history and locate relatives. Companies that extract, analyze and store your DNA have taken steps to safeguard your privacy. You should be an active partner in the effort by knowing their terms and conditions, and only sharing your results for uses you approve of.
The market leaders in DNA testing build in safeguards to protect your personal information. DNA kit samples are identified with barcodes so laboratory workers do not know whose DNA they are handling. They have policies that say they will not release individual-level information to employers or insurance companies. The U.S. Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act prohibits discrimination based on genetic information with respect to employment and health insurance. Police agencies will not be given access to your DNA or personal information, unless they provide a court order.
The policies, terms and conditions can vary by DNA testing vendor. For that and other reasons, it is advisable to review each company's privacy policy and terms and conditions. When you register and activate your test kit using the internet, you will be presented with opportunity to review these policies before being asked to accept them. This acceptance is typically done with a series of mouse clicks. Most consumers likely click through this acceptance without a second thought, but it is important to review them before agreeing. Clicking acceptance is legally binding like a signature.
Privacy and information-use policy documents are found on each company's web site. They can be weighty documents. AncestryDNA's privacy statement weighs in at some 5,000 words. That's more than 80 paragraphs, or 17 printed pages. FamilyTreeDNA's privacy statement runs more than 5,200 words. While that is a lot of verbiage, these documents contain valuable information about how personal data are used and protected. They will vary by global region.
One of the key issues covered in these legal documents is what you share with others about your DNA. The services that provide DNA matching to find potential relatives allow you to share DNA details with matches. What's also important is that you can withdraw this sharing permission if you so choose. Find out what control you have before you finish and activate your DNA kit. In the case of genetic genealogy, a little advance research can go a long way.

Judson grads killed in crash
Kaila Gomez, Steven Oliver planned to marry
SAN ANTONIO – Two recent graduates of Judson High School are being mourned after they were killed in a car accident this past Saturday.
Family members say 18-year-old Kaila Marie Gomez and her boyfriend 18-year-old Steven David Oliver were killed when the car they were in crashed on Highway 281 in Johnson City.
Family members said the high school sweethearts were inseparable.
Shauna Johnson, Gomez's older sister said Kaila and Steven were on their way home from Lawton, Oklahoma where they had attended Steven's sister's graduation from boot camp. They were riding in a car driven by Steven's mother, Dana Byars.
Around 5:00 a.m. on June 30, as they drove through Johnson City, Byars swerved to miss something in the road causing the car to roll several times. The couple was ejected from the back seat and died. Oliver's mother, brother and best friend survived the crash.
"We were very proud of them, they had come a long way, and had been through a lot and they were about to enter the next stage in their life," Johnson said.
Just over a month ago, Gomez and Oliver gradated together from Judson High School.
Johnson said the couple met each other in middle school and began dating in 8th grade.
Shalamar Jenkins, Steven's older sister said Kaila moved in with the family about two years ago and was quickly accepted. She said they were inseparable.
"It wasn't Steven. It wasn't Kaila. It was Kaila and Steven. They weren't individuals. They were together all the time," Jenkins said.
According to the family, Gomez died at the scene of the accident. Steven died a short time later at an Austin hospital.
"I knew when they told me that Kaila had passed away and that Steven had seen that Kaila had passed away that he wasn't going to let her go he wasn't going to let her be by herself," Jenkins said.
Gomez was an honor student who helped other students in Judson's special education program. Oliver ran track and loved the sport of motocross.
Steven's big sister Kioriandra Oliver said she was proud of her little brother and had come to accept Gomez as her little sister. She is haunted by one of the last conversations she had with Steven at her boot camp graduation ceremony.
"He just kind of scooped me up in his arms and he told me that he loved me very much and that he's so proud of me. That he wants to be just like his big sisters," Oliver said.
While they are still in shock over the tragic accident, Shauna Johnson said she is able to find some comfort knowing her sister died with the young man she loved with all her heart.
"I think Kaila and Steven had every intention of getting married and being together forever and now they get to be together forever indefinitely," Johnson said. "It gives me some peace knowing that they're together. It also gives all of our families much peace to know they are together."
Funeral services for Kaila will be held Thursday evening and services for Steven will be held Friday.
On Saturday, friends and family plan to come together to hold a memorial service for both teens.
There's also a memorial page on Facebook.

But more than that, it's about all the levels in which we communicate...viewed through Thompson's looking glass of humor and deconstructed with her special brand of snark.
Thompson explores controversial questions like: Can we outrun our DNA? Will we women always be slaves to our talkative nature (après sex)? Will men never be free of the chains of emotional withholding? Can we transfer man's paper towel changing abilities from garage to kitchen?
