Wild Goose takes flight in the Northwest
Just six weeks from now, Wild Goose West will take flight. We've had an amazing experience the past two years in the Southeast participating in an intersection between justice, spirituality and creativity, and now, at the invitation of friends in the Portland-Seattle area, we're working together to curate a Wild Goose Festival in the Northwest.
The point of Wild Goose is to create space for people who are aware of the shadow side of religion, but still hope for its best visions to be realized; people who discern that in a God-breathed universe, there can be no sacred-secular divide; a growing community of those who want to follow the teachings of Jesus, and seek light wherever it reveals itself; people who want to resist injustice, transcend divisive politics, heal our respective marginalization, and become more than the sum of our parts. A festival becoming a movement that promotes the common good.
Wild Goose West will be different from Wild Goose East, of course; but we do know that it will be challenging, it will be participative, it will be entertaining, it will be provocative, and it will be outrageously fun. There will be speakers and conversation facilitators and workshops on the leading edge of justice, spirituality and creativity. There will be music to stir the soul and move the feet. There will be theatrical performances, poetry, film, and dance. You'll even have the chance to share your own wisdom and questions if you want to sign up to give a talk, lead a conversation, or announce a provocation yourself.
Additional Lineup Announced
Today we're thrilled to announce more of the lineup of contributors. It's an amazing group of people – many of whom are participating as a gift of commitment because they want to see the dream of a truly diverse, anti-oppressive, vibrant, participative, action-meeting-intelligent-analysis movement come into being.
The festival theme is 'Exile and Return' – from and to God, each other, and our very selves. If you want to reconnect with the divine, or reconcile across community boundaries – with friends and enemies alike, or to make sense of the inner contradictions that each of us lives with: holy and profane, angry and happy, hopeful and distressed, then there will be something for you at Wild Goose West.
It might be ALEXIA SALVATIERRA, a Latina storyteller, Lutheran priest, and advocate for a more just immigration policy, not just because of the suffering caused by the current broken system, but because welcoming the stranger includes discovering more beauty in ourselves… Or perhaps NADIA BOLZ-WEBER, who founded House for All Sinners and Saints, a community church in Denver, CO, that aims to practice life-liturgy for everyday postmodern existence, could speak to your situation… We'll also have precious time with much-beloved FATHER RICHARD ROHR, the Franciscan founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, who believes the whole life needs both… Writer and popular blogger RACHEL HELD EVANS will share how her new book on womanhood and spirituality is ruffling feathers among those intimidated by talking about the realities of being female (or generally human)… BRUCE REYES-CHOW will speak from his experience as an Asian-American national denominational leader, and explorer of matters of faith, culture, technology, race, politics, parenting, and urban living… Our good friend BRIAN MCLAREN will help us reconsider relationships among people of different faiths, and ask what it means to be authentically Christian in a multi-faith world… We're honored to have with us – and part of the team – DR RICHARD TWISS, Native American educator and author, member of the Sicangu Lakota Oyate, a thinker and speaker of huge heart, humor, and historic sensitivity. And it will be a prophetic delight to have BISHOP YVETTE FLUNDER ignite conversation about creating refuges for the broken among us (including ourselves), and to reconsider just what the teachings of Jesus have to say about radical inclusion, justice-making, and sacred ground.
That's just for starters: let's take a break here to tune in to our dynamic and poetic music curator, Todd Fadel, who has this to say about the sounds that you'll hear at Wild Goose West:
"So you may have heard through the goose-vine that we're cooking up the best bits for Westerners…. WELL, LISTEN 2 THIS:
Not only are blast-saxing MENOMENA and soul-stirring LINDA HORNBUCKLE ruling the roost, we're receiving rhythmic boosts from Ghanian world-beat master OBO ADDY, Sufi-melding DERVISH D'LIGHT, funk-fusioners SPEAKER MINDS and late-night miners of 45's – BEYONDADOUBT unearthing her sparkling soul-nuggets and MIKE MCGONIGAL polishing off rare, gospel-gems.
In addition, with chamberstring precision, GUNGOR and JOSH GARRELS bellow betwixt celloists whilst awarded-slam-poet, LAUREL STEELE and BLACQUE BUTTERFLY lock it proper. 100% trusted vocal-super-friends abound with cozy-popper SHELLEY SHORT, bleached-bleating RYAN SOLLEE, fury-ful KELLI SCHAEFER and taps-and-revelry-heavy AARON von STRUMPEL safe-paving the way-laid for new-faced graceful invaders GREAT WILDERNESS, gypsy-swingsetters WHEN THE BROKEN BOW, latin-twisted KAT JONES, solid poly-beated NO KIND OF RIDER and sweet Savannan-flavour courtesy of ms. HANNAH GLAVOR.
More names are buffering to aleve the songless-sufferers, so keep mouses glued to the internet tubes. Meantime, feast your eyes on this."
Thank you Todd!
So there you have it – some speakers, some musicians, a lot of magic.
Sacred Spaces, Film Screenings and More
Mix in sacred spaces honoring the people who first lived on this land to Quaker meetings to alternative liturgies, and 12 step meetings to old time gospel sing-a-longs; film screenings (and a review of spiritual interaction at the cinema over the past year); workshops on topics such as how to sustain your soul amidst an activist lifestyle, exclusion from the church, feminist approaches to motherhood, and restorative justice; interfaith conversations and reimagining lament and hope in the post-9/11 era; opportunities to create and explore art together; slam poetry; monologues; a play or two; and you've got some sense of what's on offer at Wild Goose West.
Dates & Details
Wild Goose West is just around the corner – 5.30pm on August 31st to 10pm on September 2nd, near Portland, near Seattle, near lots of places – hopefully near you. We're looking for a thousand creative pilgrims to join the party. You can get tickets for the ridiculously low price of $99 for the next 48 hours only – this price will expire at midnight on Thursday, the 19th July. There are opportunities to volunteer and you can find out more by staying tuned to the festival website and blog. If you buy a ticket, or even if you can't be with us this time round, you can help support the festival vision by making a donation. If you want to know more about Wild Goose generally, what the festival is about, and what the festival community is seeking to promote, you'll find information here.
For now, we hope you'll make the decision to be part of this new community. We are genuinely excited to welcome you as Wild Goose West takes flight. Join us?
Check back for further lineup announcements as the festival approaches.

Recently I traveled for almost 3 weeks to the US (from our home in South Africa) to see family and friends. During my trip, I figured that I had used 7 different computers to check email and communicate with my husband back home. Somewhere along the way, a virus or spyware or something like that snagged my password to my gmail account. Two days after I got back home, I could not access my account. This struck panic in my heart because that is my main email account that I use for everything – facebook, twitter, etc. – plus all the google products I use – picasa, blogger, blog reader, ad sense, calendar, etc.
So I remained calm and went through the steps that gmail has to restore your password. It's a long questionnaire that I didn't know the answers to most. I quickly breezed through it thinking it was just a formality. Imagine my surprise when a day later I received an email from gmail saying they could not restore my account because I did not have adequate proof that I was who I said I was.
It's hard to prove you are someone online. It's not like you can flash a passport or other form of picture id.
So after 4 more attempts at the questionnaire – and some digging to find the answers to questions I didn't know – my email account was restored. But it left me with a new caution about life online that I'd love to share with you. Here are some of my tips – and ones I found while searching online for help.
1. Don't use the same email for EVERYTHING! I have five different emails that come to my mailbox on my mac, but I was used to using my gmail for everything so I wouldn't forget. It's worth the effort to use different emails to log in to the different places. Make a physical list somewhere if you have to – which I do – and keep it in a safe place.
2. Don't use the same password for EVERYTHING! This is probably a no-brainer but I was totally guilty of it! I'm a mom, I'm busy, I have limited brain space and passwords are not on my priority list, so why not use the same one everywhere, was my reasoning. Now I do the same as with number 1 – physical list.
3. If you have a gmail account, take time to write out the answers to these questions. I don't know if it works the same with hotmail or any other online email, but I would imagine it might. These are the answers to the questions asked on the gmail questionnaire: (This list came from Digital Inspiration blog.)
- The month and year when your created your Gmail / Google Account. You can look at the last page of your Gmail Inbox (or go to Sent Items) to get an approximate idea of the date when you created the account.
- If you created a Gmail account by invitation, write the email address of the person who first sent you that invite for Gmail.
- The email addresses of your most frequently emailed contacts (the top 5).
- The names of any custom labels that you may have created in your Gmail account.
- The day/month/year when you started using various other Google services (like AdSense, Orkut, Blogger, etc.) that are associated with the Google account that you are trying to recover. If you're not certain about some of the dates, provide your closest estimate. I looked at the first date of photos I had uploaded to picasa and my first post in blogger.
4. Read privacy settings on social networking sites like facebook and twitter. Please be extra careful and diligent if you have pre-teens or teenagers online. Take time with them to read through those settings and choose the ones you are most comfortable with.
I just want to encourage everyone to be careful and take precautions. I'm not really sure what these people wanted with my account. The only activity I could find was some crazy gibberish on one of my old blogs. Which is weird, because they are free anyway.
I'm sure there are lots of more tips and I'd love to hear some of yours in the comment section.

Thank you for your interest in becoming an authorized MagikFlame Electric Fireplaces dealer. We welcome all physical brick and mortar stores both large and small as well as internet only dealers located in the United States, Canada and around the world.

When a client contacts us with an idea or project they want to bring to life, one of the first things we suggest is to sit down, grab a cuppa and come up with a detailed brief and overview to ensure that we both share the same vision and requirements for the project in question. A detailed brief will help us to tailor the ideas to suit your required brief. It will also help you to bring all the relevant information together so that the final film becomes more easily defined.
"Preparation is the key to success."
Below you will find a guide on what to include and consider for your brief.
Deciding on the length of a film or a video will depend upon many factors and will include: the budget available, how the film or video will be used, who is the target audience along with the type featured content and possible story. We can advise you on appropriate durations for your project.
A good starting point can be to identify films and video styles that you like.
Filmmaking can be broken down into three main stages
1. Pre-production and writing a brief
Developing ideas, identifying the story and locations and planning for filming. If your film uses actors or models, you may need to work with your filmmaker to develop a script, a storyboard and to organise a casting session.
2. Production
Live action filming and creating any complex graphics/animations created/music compositions if required.
3. Post-production
Creating the narrative with editing, applying text and effects, sound mixing, colour grading, sign-off and delivery.
The pre-production brief
What is the purpose of making your film?
This could include: to improve funding; promote engagement for a specific project; to sell a product or service or to raise awareness of a project or cause.
How might the film or videos be used?
- Will you be using the film as part of a social media marketing campaign or as part of a wider marketing strategy with advertising?
- Will the film be shown at meetings and presentations using a computer or projector?
- Are you sending the film out as part of a mail drop on a pen drive or Blu-Ray/DVD?
- Will you be delivering the film to any specific media channels or online e.g. YouTube?
- Will it required to be in a specific resolution e.g. 4K (requirement for Netflix)
- Will the film be uploaded onto your website?
- Have you considered if the film could be suitable for a film festival?
Answering these questions will ensure your film will be suitable for the uses for which you commissioned it.
Writing the pre-production brief
If your brief is more than a few pages long, consider writing a brief overview at the start to summarise the whole project.
Is there any background information on the project or film that could help us better understand the project and your requirements?
The Brief
Describe the film's content as you envisage it
What is the target audience? What are the key messages? Do you have any specific filming requirements? Are locations known and/or fixed? Will you be using a location site, require a suitable hired studio or will you be filming at your place of work?
How is the content to be delivered? What is the duration and technical spec? Refer to any specific standards for guidance. Do you also require a copy of the complete set of raw footage delivered at the end?
List any key briefing, filming or delivery dates. Is there a schedule for the films completion or specific filming dates? Target key activities and events that you require filming.
Is there a fixed budget or are you asking for quotes? List what is your budget or budget range and what it does/or does not include. For example, does it include studio hire, extra crew, music licensing, and crew food and travel expenses or will these be added as extras as required?
You might ask us to present a pitch for the creation of your film. A pitch is a form of words used when trying to persuade someone to buy or accept something. Ideally, you should detail what you are looking for in a pitch to be submitted i.e. a description of the proposed work; a production schedule; a summary of relevant experience and technical knowledge required; examples of similar work and a breakdown of costs. It could also be helpful to add your evaluation criteria if you are asking more than one person to pitch for the one job.
Useful Information
The more information you can provide, the better we will gain from the brief therefore delivering a more targeted film. If you have specific thoughts about what you don't want then you could write them here, as that would help us to propose alternative ideas.
To Finish
Spending time thinking about your film and developing your ideas into an outline brief ahead of filming will make sure that you end up with the film that will meet your requirements. It will also help your filmmaker deliver the project to your brief and budget as well as being technically and creatively correct for its future uses.
If you have any questions or would like advice on anything regarding your video production or post-production please do drop us a message.

Happiness is a Warm TV
WRAL mutes 'n-word' in episode of 'The Carmichael Show' approved by NBC
Jerrod Carmichael told The Hollywood Reporter this week that he wanted viewers to hear the n-word in Wednesday night's episode of "The Carmichael Show," and that he had permission from NBC to air the episode unedited.
But if you were watching on the Triangle's NBC affilliate WRAL-TV, you heard a lot of silence.
Viewers of the program took to Twitter Wednesday night to complain about the muting of the word. User @natthedem tweeted, "If @wral is going to continue to censor programming like #CarmichaelShow or #SNL, the LEAST they could do is tell the audience in advance." @LBrothersMedia tweeted, "Jesus, WRAL you've muted half the episode because of the language. #CarmichaelShow."
In November 2016, WRAL was criticized for muting several portions of a Dave Chappelle-hosted episode of "Saturday Night Live." After that, the independently owned station said they would no longer use their mute button on "Saturday Night Live," which airs at 11:30 p.m.
In an interview at that time, Steven D. Hammel, vice president and general manager at WRAL, explained the station's policy, and said the station was trying to silence two words on their list of 10 unacceptable words. Hammel said one of those words was the n-word. The station has master control operators who monitor a feed from NBC 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a 10-second tape delay. When they hear an objectionable word, a button gets pushed and the result is about 8 seconds of silence.
"The Carmichael Show" airs at 9 p.m. Wednesday's show as preceded by a parental advisory warning.
One viewer reported that WRAL muted the word five times, but missed a sixth time at the end of the episode.
In September 2015, the ABC sitcom "Black-ish" aired an episode about the use of the n-word, but self-censored and the word was bleeped from the network.
"The Carmichael Show" is a sitcom loosely based on the life of stand-up comedian Jerrod Carmichael. The show, which is set in Charlotte, has earned a reputation for tackling tough topics such as gun rights, the right to die, the Bill Cosby scandal, and Black Lives Matter protests.
Carmichael explained his intentions regarding the "n-word" episode, which he says was approved by the network, to the Hollywood Reporter:
"The intention is to genuinely explore and do it with as much integrity as we can so it's never just buzzwords, it's never us just saying it for the shock value. . . . I hope viewers realize there's a spectrum of perspectives on this. Like anything else, every voice on it is worth hearing, every voice on it is worth sharing and saying out loud and having discourse. If people talk to their families and friends about it, it lends itself to people having thoughts on it that they've never had before. That's what we all want."
[Programming note: If you were relying on your DVR to catch "The Carmichael Show" for you, you might be out of luck. Many systems had tonight's episode listed as last season's Cosby repeat, so it did not record. "The Carmichael Show" Twitter account acknowledged the problem Wednesday night.]
If @wral is going to continue to censor programming like #CarmichaelShow or #SNL, the LEAST they could do is tell the audience in advance.— natthedem (@natthedem) June 22, 2017
Jesus, WRAL you've muted half the episode because of the language. #CarmichaelShow— THE CHAMP!!! (@LBrothersMedia) June 22, 2017
@WRAL Can you stop beeping out "The Carmichael Show" it's just the N word. You did it with SNL's Dave Chappelle please stop.— Gavin Martinez (@Youtubeofgavin4) June 22, 2017

Cultivating Community
We are dedicated to cultivating a healthy environment for humans and animals alike. With the support of the municipality, local schools, and national animal welfare organizations, AZI is making a significant contribution to the local economy of Amorgos.
We Work to:
- Employ veterinarians to treat animals of the island
- Work with volunteer vets who travel to the island for sterilization programs
- Rescue abused and neglected horses, mules, and donkeys
- Feed stray animals
- Provide housing for cats and dogs awaiting adoption
- Educate the community through books and lectures
- Eliminate animal transmitted diseases and control the animal population
Animal poisoning, torture, and starvation is all too common. We work to fight the mistreatment of animals and foster a healthy relationship with the environment.
Our Programs & Initiatives
The Aeghiali Project
A sterilization program in partnership the Niarchos Foundation and the Paula and Peter Fasseas Foundation was initiated in 2015 and continues to the present.
AZI has an active adoption program for dogs and cats. Since its inception, many animals have been rescued, cared for, and prepared for adoption. Tens of animals have been adopted abroad.
Cooperation with Other Animal Welfare Groups
AZI has invited the Greek Animal Welfare Fund (GAWF), or Animal Action, to help care for some of Amorgos' horses, mules and donkeys. Members of GAWF now visit Amorgos annually to treat productive animals. AZI also consistently works with the veterinarians of the Greek Volunteers Vets (EDKE), who come to the island for sterilization and vaccination projects.
Outreach, Education and Promotion
AZI's outreach effort extended to farmers and restaurateurs. Educational lectures were given on how to treat and live harmoniously with animals.
Three books were created, published, and distributed to all the schoolchildren on the island. These illustrated books promote a positive and humane treatment of all animals and emphasize the value of a compassionate relationship between people and animals.
Public Awareness
AZI distributed thousands of ashtrays to encourage residents and tourists to keep the environment clean and free of cigarette butts, another crucial step toward learning how to respect nature as a whole. AZI promotes lectures for school children and farmers.
Local Volunteerism
With our encouragement, a local volunteer organization has been established—the Philozoike Merinma Association of Amorgos—with over 30 members and five dedicated coordinators.
Built the first shelter for quadrupeds on the island, saving a mare and donkeys and mules from certain death. The Mayor of Amorgos has granted us this land and we count on the continued support of the municipality to preserve this significant location for the children of the island and tourists.
Farmers and owners of vegetable gardens offer their care of our rescued animals in exchange for the organic manure used in their gardens.
Healing Support
Beginning October 2010, the first permanent veterinarian clinic opened with our support, offering surgical services.
Emergency medical care is also provided.
Poison Control
Fight against poisonings! Prior to our arrival, local restaurateurs would routinely poison cats each spring to "prepare" for the tourist season. We worked very hard to eliminate this practice and are proud to report that there were no poisonings this year in the areas where AZI has intervened.
There are many hungry animals on the island. Our support helps provide food, water, and shelter to needy animals, and especially to the dogs that are kept in faraway places in deplorable conditions.
Each day, AZI feeds approximately 300 stray cats, 35 stray ducks and geese in the areas of Katapola, Chora and Aegiali. To the animals living in these colonies AZI provides vaccinations and veterinary coverage when necessary as well as parasite protection and treatment every four months.
Medical Attention
AZI consistently organizes and financially covers visits of several veterinarians from all over Greece in order to provide veterinary care to animals (domestic and stray) of the island. In 2007 AZI sponsored the work of Naxos veterinarian Dr. Dimitris Vassalakis, who still makes regular veterinary visits to Amorgos.
In 2011, AZI brought to Amorgos Dr. Maria Despoti, and sponsored a large part of her veterinarian practice until November 2014, when she left the island. Starting in 2013 and continuing into the present, AZI sponsors the work of Athens veterinarian Dr. Angeliki Degleri, a specialist in feral cat populations.
From the year 2012 until today we have worked with 25 different veterinarians whom we have invited to the island. AZI covers the costs of their visits, including accommodations, food and travel expenses.

The Armenian Central Bank will be issuing the release of another exclusive Noah's Ark coin for 2018. The coin celebrates Armenia's rich history of the Biblical story of the Great Flood created by God and where Noah was told to build an Ark to save two of each of the animals to ensure their survival. As the story goes, once the waters receded, the Ark found safe harbor on Mount Ararat located on the border area of Armenia & Turkey.
There are no available products under this category. Check back soon!
In the Old Testament of the Bible, the Book of Exodus describes the story of Noah's Ark during a global flood that was to last 150 days and nights; the flood was created by God as punishment to humans that disobeyed his laws. Scientists have spent a great deal of time and money to find concrete evidence that this did occur - but it is still considered just a story for now. However, millions upon millions of people are convinced that it was a real event and look to celebrate the meaning behind it today. Noah's Ark was a great ship that was built to be large enough to carry two of each animal species along with Noah & his family. Noah knew nothing about building a boat and all of his friends and neighbors ridiculed him for building the ark. No one believed that a great flood was coming - but he stood fast to his vision and saved all life on Earth in the process.
Beginning in 2011, the Armenian government decided to have this bullion 1 oz. Silver coin struck by commissioning the Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitungs GmbH, an affiliate company of Geiger Edelmetalle, to make the coin each year to further cement the story of the Great Flood for centuries to come. The specifications were determined in 2011, and the coin has been made each year to be exactly as it was first designed. In this first year, they created the coin in 1/4 oz., 1/2 oz. and 1 oz. sizes. Today, it is struck in 1/4 oz., 1/2 oz., 1 oz., 5 oz., 10 oz., 1 kilo and 5 kilo.
Designed by Eduard Kurghinyan, the obverse of the coin is to have the traditional coat of arms of Armenia embossed in the center of the design, which resides on the belly of an Eagle / Lion paired creature. The obverse also features the nominal value in Drams, (500 Drams for the 1 oz. silver coin), the purity of the silver, as well as the year and precious metal weight. It is framed on the inner rim the words: "REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA" in English as well as Armenian.
The clever design on the reverse of the coin features a gorgeous sunrise rising above Mount Ararat as the Turtle Dove returns to the Ark with the coveted olive branch - thus signifying the end of the great flood. The design includes the Ark floating near the mountain in calming waters and with an embossed inscription along the rim "NOAH'S ARK" in both English & Armenia as well. The suns ray's and the calming waters make up the fields of the coin and the Turtle Dove appears to come out of the coin by hovering over the rim and the fields.

After a home loss to the Clackamas Community College Cougars Feb. 1, the Titans have dropped to sixth place in the cutthroat Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges South Region.
"I was disappointed in how flat we came out in the first half," Lane head coach Bruce Chavka said. "We can't put our finger on the pulse of why that happens."
The Titans were able to keep the game close early. They trailed by only four points at halftime.
However, the Cougars pulled away late in the second half, thanks in part to some clutch free-throw shooting. They went 16-of-21 from the charity stripe in the second half to ice the game and earn a 78-71 victory.
Titans sophomore guard Alex Sattley scored 29 points on 12-of-26 shooting,
including 5-of-11 from three-point range.
During the game, Sattley knocked down his 50th three-pointer of the season. Only nine other NWAACC players have accomplished the feat this season, and Keynan Middleton was the only player to do so for Lane last season.
Freshman forward
Daemund McCants added 14 points for the Titans, and freshman point guard Dyrall Goods dished out a season-high seven assists.
Grant Sitton, a 6-foot-9 sophomore forward, scored 21 points and grabbed seven boards to lead the Cougars.
"He was tough inside. He's really strong attacking the rim," Lane sophomore
forward Zach Kirschbaum said. "He shoots the ball really well from the outside."
After missing the previous six games with various
injuries, freshman forward Orion Wright returned to the lineup and played 15 minutes.
Wright is averaging five points and three rebounds per game this season.
Lane, now 4-4 in regional play, finds itself in a tough position.
The Titans are one game behind Mount Hood, Southwestern Oregon and
Clackamas community
colleges, who hold a three-way tie for second place in the region at 5-3.
The Titans will try to bounce back on Feb. 5, when they hit the road to face the 1-7 Umpqua Community
College Riverhawks.

Also known as Beebread, Cow Clover, Meadow Clover, Purple Clover, and Trefoil
$3.50 per ounce
History: Red Clover is native to northwest Africa, Asia, and Europe and has been naturalized in many parts of the world, including North America. In ancient times, the flower was believed to have magical powers. Druids believed that it could ward off evil spells and witches and would carry a sprig of clover with them on long jour ies to protect themselves. Medieval Christians believed that the three lobed leaves were associated with the trinity and the four lobed leaves as a symbol of the cross. In fact, many people still consider a four leaf clover to be a symbol of luck. Historically, Red Clover was used to help coughs, colds, sore throats, and skin diseases. Native Americans would use a Red Clover salve for burns. Today, it is used as a herbal supplement and as a sedative.
Uses: Red clover is often cultivated as a fodder crop, and may also be tilled for green manure. It makes a wonderful ingredient in herbal tea, adding a light, sweet flavor along with its abundant medicinal properties. It may be integrated into a salve or balm and is traditionally used to support healthy skin. In some clinical trials, red clover has shown to support a healthy menopause by reducing symptoms.
Active Ingredients: Isoflavones
Actions: alterative, antispasmodic, nervine

From masters of horror Blumhouse Productions- producer of THE PURGE, INSIDIOUS and SINISTER franchises – THE LAZARUS EFFECT follows a group of researchers led by Frank (Mark Duplass) and his fiancée Zoe (Olivia Wilde,) who've achieved the unimaginable- bringing the dead back to life. After a successful, yet unsanctioned, trial on a newly deceased animal, the team is ready to unveil their breakthrough to the world. When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is unexpectedly shut down and their materials confiscated.
Frank, Zoe and their team (Donald Glover, Sarah Bolger and Evan Peters) take matters into their own hands, launching a rogue attempt to recreate their experiment, during which things go terribly wrong and one of their own, Zoe, is horrifically killed. Fueled by terror and grief, Frank pushes them to do the unthinkable: attempt to resurrect their first human test subject.
Initially, the procedure appears a success, but the team soon realizes something is wrong with Zoe. As her strange new persona reveals itself, the team quickly becomes stuck in a gruesome reality. They are no longer faced with the question of whether they can bring someone back to life- but rather, the wrath of her return.

Locke v. Davey - 02-1315 (2004)
Opinion [ Chief Justice Rehnquist ] (pdf)
Dissent [ Justice Scalia ] (pdf)
Dissent [ Justice Thomas ] (pdf)
LOCKE, GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON, et al. v. DAVEY
certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit
No. 02–1315. Argued December 2, 2003—Decided February 25, 2004
Washington State established its Promise Scholarship Program to assist academically gifted students with postsecondary education expenses. In accordance with the State Constitution, students may not use such a scholarship to pursue a devotional theology degree. Respondent Davey was awarded a Promise Scholarship and chose to attend Northwest College, a private, church-affiliated institution that is eligible under the program. When he enrolled, Davey chose a double major in pastoral ministries and business management/administration. It is undisputed that the pastoral ministries degree is devotional. After learning that he could not use his scholarship to pursue that degree, Davey brought this action under 42 U. S. C. §1983 for an injunction and damages, arguing that the denial of his scholarship violated, inter alia, the First Amendment's Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses. The District Court rejected Davey's constitutional claims and granted the State summary judgment. The Ninth Circuit reversed, concluding that, because the State had singled out religion for unfavorable treatment, its exclusion of theology majors had to be narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling state interest under Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah, 508 U. S. 520. Finding that the State's antiestablishment concerns were not compelling, the court declared the program unconstitutional.
Held: Washington's exclusion of the pursuit of a devotional theology degree from its otherwise-inclusive scholarship aid program does not violate the Free Exercise Clause. This case involves the "play in the joints" between the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses. Walz v. Tax Comm'n of City of New York, 397 U. S. 664, 669. That is, it concerns state action that is permitted by the former but not required by the latter. The Court rejects Davey's contention that, under Lukumi, supra, the program is presumptively unconstitutional because it is not facially neutral with respect to religion. To accept this claim would extend the Lukumi line of cases well beyond not only their facts but their reasoning. Here, the State's disfavor of religion (if it can be called that) is of a far milder kind than in Lukumi, where the ordinance criminalized the ritualistic animal sacrifices of the Santeria religion. Washington's program imposes neither criminal nor civil sanctions on any type of religious service or rite. It neither denies to ministers the right to participate in community political affairs, see McDaniel v. Paty, 435 U. S. 618, nor requires students to choose between their religious beliefs and receiving a government benefit, see, e.g., Hobbie v. Unemployment Appeals Comm'n of Fla., 480 U. S. 136. The State has merely chosen not to fund a distinct category of instruction. Even though the differently worded Washington Constitution draws a more stringent line than does the Federal Constitution, the interest it seeks to further is scarcely novel. In fact, there are few areas in which a State's antiestablishment interests come more into play. Since this country's founding, there have been popular uprisings against procuring taxpayer funds to support church leaders, which was one of the hallmarks of an "established" religion. Most States that sought to avoid such an establishment around the time of the founding placed in their constitutions formal prohibitions against using tax funds to support the ministry. That early state constitutions saw no problem in explicitly excluding only the ministry from receiving state dollars reinforces the conclusion that religious instruction is of a different ilk from other professions. Moreover, the entirety of the Promise Scholarship Program goes a long way toward including religion in its benefits, since it permits students to attend pervasively religious schools so long as they are accredited, and students are still eligible to take devotional theology courses under the program's current guidelines. Nothing in the Washington Constitution's history or text or in the program's operation suggests animus towards religion. Given the historic and substantial state interest at issue, it cannot be concluded that the denial of funding for vocational religious instruction alone is inherently constitutionally suspect. Without a presumption of unconstitutionality, Davey's claim must fail. The State's interest in not funding the pursuit of devotional degrees is substantial, and the exclusion of such funding places a relatively minor burden on Promise Scholars. If any room exists between the two Religion Clauses, it must be here. Pp. 4–12.
299 F. 3d 748, reversed.
Rehnquist, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Stevens, O'Connor, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer, JJ., joined. Scalia, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Thomas, J., joined. Thomas, J., filed a dissenting opinion.

Inside the Panthers
Three questions with ... Panthers WR Brenton Bersin
Three questions with Carolina Panthers WR Brenton Bersin:
Q. Is this as hot as you can remember it getting in Spartanburg?
A. No. My sophomore year (at Wofford in) 2009, it was like 115 heat index everyday. And because the Panthers were here, we'd practice at like 3 in the heat of the day. So that wasn't fun.
Q. How would you rate the competition at wide receiver?
A. It's a good group. We have a lot of competition. It's bringing the best out of everyone. It's good to see Kelvin (Benjamin) back out there -- and Stephen Hill -- after those injuries. They make us a better team, especially Kelvin. Two years ago he was a great talent as a rookie and he's going to be even better this year.
Q. Do you feel like a veteran at 26?
A. Yeah, I think so, especially in the receiver room. I've probably been here longer than anyone in our room. I know Ted (Ginn) is the oldest. But I've probably been here the longest and I know the offense the best.

Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia sold Euro Car Parts for $375 million after creating thousands of jobs in Britain Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia knows the power of immigration.
Born in Uganda when the British Empire was in its heyday, he was forced to flee his home country for a new life in Britain in 1972.
Then he went to work.
Ahluwalia was 19 when he bought a struggling auto parts business in London. He sold the company — Euro Car Parts — for £280 million ($375 million) in 2011 after creating thousands of jobs.
Now, as Britain tries to slash the number of people coming to its shores, the former refugee is quick to remind people of the economic benefits of immigration.
"I believe the backbone of this country is immigration, and we should never, ever forget it," he said.
Here's how one refugee made it big in Britain:
Ahluwalia was born in Uganda in 1958. At the time, the former British Colony was home to thousands of families, like his, that had emigrated from South Asia to work on railways and other infrastructure projects.
Many of the families thrived in their adopted country, playing prominent roles in business.
"[We] were doing very well," said Ahluwalia. "We all grew up in very, very comfortable surroundings."
That all changed when army commander Idi Amin seized power in a 1971 military coup. He would preside over one of the bloodiest regimes in Africa's history.
Idi Amin seized power in Uganda in 1971. The following year, he called for the expulsion of all Ugandans from South Asia.
Related: Why Britain needs the immigrants it doesn't want
"This crazy man … Idi Amin just got up one day and said that these guys [Ugandans from South Asia] are bad for our country … they are all agents of the British and we need to get them out of here," he recalled. "Within 30 days we were expelled."
Starting over
The family — Ahluwalia, his two brothers, mom and dad — landed in Britain. Despite being packed into cramped dorms in a cold new land, there was a bright spot.
"I could never forget the kindness and the goodhearted spirit of the British," Ahluwalia said. "In times of crisis they come together and they want to help … they don't care about themselves."
After a year in temporary shared housing, the family moved to their own apartment.
How this Syrian refugee became a tech mentor
Ahluwalia didn't find British schools to his liking. Disillusioned, he found refuge in the hustle and bustle of London's street markets, and the work they provided.
"When you have nothing, you really just will give it all you've got," he said. "I guess my skills and my intuition for business and commerce and trade [came] from the markets."
Building a business
In 1978, when he was just 19, Ahluwalia started Euro Car Parts.
Sukhpal SIngh Ahluwalia took over Highway Autos, renaming it Euro Car Parts, in 1978.
Using a £5,000 ($7,500) loan, he took over a failing auto business and set about turning it into a titan. It was a steep learning curve: "The first day, I didn't know anything about car parts," he said.
But he worked hard. Ahluwalia said the previous owner worked nine-to-five; he worked seven-to-whenever customers were satisfied.
Ahluwalia expanded his inventory and opened new locations, spreading across London and eventually the U.K.
"From employing 10 people, then it became 50, then 100. It was all systems go, and it was a roller coaster after that," he said.
The next chapter
The ride reached a high point in 2011.
With Euro Car Parts employing 3,500 people across 89 locations, Ahluwalia sold the business to American auto parts company LKQ Corporation.
Ahluwalia now sits on the global board of LKQ, which has a market value of around $13 billion. He is confident that selling was the right call.
"The decision has allowed me to do so many things," he said. "I'm an investor in six or seven companies … I am now a serial entrepreneur."
Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia Ahluwalia now sits on the global board of LKQ, which has a market value of around $13 billion.
Ahluwalia is chairman of Dominvs Group, an asset management firm specializing in property. His three sons oversee the day-to-day running of the enterprise.

Resplendent in gold for the governor's inauguration, New York's "First Companion," Sandra Lee, dressed much more casually when visiting a food bank near Albany on Monday.
The millionaire TV chef wore jeans, an oversized sweater, glasses and a loose pony tail to campaign against hunger and to remind the public that this cause is personal.
"Because that is also where I come from," said Lee, 44. "If it wasn't for food banks, and if it wasn't for food stamps and the welfare system, that's how I grew up."
The eldest of five kids, Lee has parlayed her bootstrap past in California and Wisconsin into a food empire, making her more famous than her famous boyfriend, New York's new governor Andrew Cuomo.
Lee's "Semi-Homemade Cooking" show is in its 15th year on the Food Network and she's written 23 cookbooks. In her 2007 memoir, "Made from Scratch" she lays bare a tough childhood with a mentally ill alcoholic mother and an abusive father. It fell to Lee to take care of her younger brothers and sisters and she learned how to make do and be imaginative with meals -- a common thread of her cooking shows today.
Image obviously matters to Lee, who color coordinates the set of her show for each episode and -- if this week is any indication -- knows how to play to different audiences. She was the literal golden girl for the New Year's Day inauguration ceremony, her long blonde hair cascading down the back of a gold quilted coat worn over a bright white dress. Standing by Cuomo's side, she held the bible as he took the oath of office.
On Sunday, she walked with Cuomo, her live-in boyfriend, and his three teen-aged daughters to mass. Lee told Beliefnet that she was raised a Jehovah's Witness but that her family is Catholic. She had converted to Judaism for a time during her failed marriage to the disgraced CEO of building giant KB Home, Bruce Karatz, convicted last April of manipulating stock options.
When the blue-eyed Lee met Cuomo at a Hamptons cocktail party in the summer of 2005, both were on the rebound from divorce, which for Cuomo was a messy headline-filled ordeal. His 13-year marriage to Kerry Kennedy Cuomo, Robert F. Kennedy's daughter, imploded after stories linked her to a polo-playing millionaire.
Lee shares a home with Cuomo in Westchester County where this holiday she reportedly decorated seven Christmas trees. As for marriage, the pair seem in no hurry, as she told the New York Post Monday.
"I think when it's important to the kids, we'll do it. Right now we have much more important things to do."
Lee won't be getting state security or other perks reserved for the state's first lady. Instead, she said she pays for her own security and for the costs of her trips, like the visit to the food bank.
"It's not just the poor and the homeless who are suffering, it is the middle class too," Lee said.

Two weeks ago, Rich Boy gave out a super cool award to Goose but he had to pass (something about his
mom'screative block). Also, after having some time to think, we decide it is best to nominate 5 (alpha) males each time to make sure the award passes along efficiently and that every paw and tail with balls, in blogville can receive this honour in no time at all. Also, any paw or tail reading this are also award winners!!! The more the merrier! Please see details of the award here.

I've just learned something new about myself! Really, like so much we 'learn' about ourselves, I've always known it, and so I've just RE-discovered it. I'm inspired by Nature–she is one of my greatest guides and today this realization strikes me deeply. A full dialogue to share with you all was already present in my mind as I opened this page to write. And then in the blink of an eye, it all shifted and the storyline has changed. Isn't this the way of our own journey?
As I prepared to write, I did something I always do–glanced out my window, looking INTO the trees, feeling enraptured in the energy of shadows dancing on green grass beaming in the beautiful sunshine. Follow me, as this journey is taking many turns through the truths playing out in my interior conversation: I began to type 'beautiful Georgia sun' and was stopped in my tracks with the Divine cosmic reality of the nature of our planet. The sun here in Georgia is not belonging to her alone, this is the radiating source of energy that shines on us ALL, in every moment. We may not always FEEL the glow and heated warmth she gives, but we are always beneath her light as it washes over, into and around our planet. At nighttime, when our back is to her, she continues to shine. Not feeling her presence is in no way an indication of her absence.
Can you feel this truth my friends, as the truth of the Divine? Always we are in the arms of embrace, always we are held, loved, comforted and guided. Always–even when we have turned our back to the grace surrounding us. Do take a moment to let yourself feel fully the realization of this truth.
Nature. Ah yes, that's where this post began. My guide and loved one. I've known it to be so, but even more so in the way my soul is feeling it in this space. So often we wish to complicate it by wanting to know 'who is my soul guide?' So simple, loved ones. One of our greatest is Nature herself. And SHE is everywhere, in every space we enter. There is no way to be separate from her. So the truth becomes that we are always receiving guidance…and when we feel distant from that reality, it is WE who have turned away from it.
There is peace in this knowing–a kind of serenity we all search for and long to feel. Here it is–open, available and ALWAYS shining into the heart of who you are. Be still a moment, close your eyes, feel the warmth of sunshine washing over you. And listen….for you will hear your heart doing what our hearts always do…..whispering words of grace and wisdom…..xo
