In the weeks following the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling, much of the nation's attention has been on birth control coverage for women. Lena Dunham had voiced her opinion on the issue, tweeting, "Women's access to birth control should not be denied because of their employer's religious beliefs," and following up with, "This is more than a women's right issue. The Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby ruling is a disappointing step back for ALL of us."
Last night, Dunham took to Twitter again this time, with a question:
I need birth control because I have endometriosis and it helps manage pain. Why do you?
Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) July 23, 2014
Instantly, both women and men started replying with reasons of their own:
@lenadunham because I want control over my sexual health and reproductive future. And that's OK.
Ali Vitali (@alivitali) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham I don't want a baby yet and my periods were stupid heavy and now they aren't :)
Rebecca (@shragger) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham Because babies & college dont mix. Also acne.
Megan Austin (@meganaustt) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham polycystic ovary syndrome!!! #hormonaldisorderbabe
Maria Yagoda (@mariayagoda) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham because women have the right to enjoy sex without the confines and fear of a unplanned pregnancy, just as men do
B (@brattybeeee) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham Because I am not physically, financially, or emotionally prepared for parenthood.
Casey Rae (@cgarci21) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham I needed it because I never wanted to deal with "shark week" for a whole month ever again...

@lenadunham i am a man & i demand the option be available for my gorgeous sister
Michael Korte (@MichaelKorteDuh) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham because I want every girl I ever love to feel safe with every guy they ever love. And bc could help.
eric (@yungg_dad) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham because I have a future jam packed with finishing college, starting a career, and traveling. A baby doesn't fit into that yet.
breanna ☮♡ૐ (@BreannaB) July 23, 2014
@lenadunham I need birth control because it is my choice to stop having kids after having had two that I planned and love to pieces.
Romina Linnell (@RominaML) July 23, 2014
Dunham concluded by thanking the "brave women and sensitive men" who participated in the dialogue, and then made this expert point:
Love hearing all your reasons for using birth control. And guess what? You don't need a reason.
Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) July 23, 2014
And then she added one more reason of her own:
Oh, one other reason I need birth control: cuz once when I was menstruating real bad I said "my grandma only likes me cuz I'm on TV"
Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) July 23, 2014
Dunham also encouraged her followers to keep up with the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (who will be accompanying Dunham on her upcoming book tour) for more information.

Share Your Music Without Sharing Your Headphones
Have you ever seen kids on the train with their heads pressed together to share one set of headphones? Well, a new app has come on the scene to remedy that rather unhygienic situation. MyStream is a new, free app [iTunes link] for the iPhone (soon available on the iPad) that allows music fans to listen to jams with friends and check out others' collections. After downloading the app, one adds media from one's iTunes, adding either all of one's music or selections.

A new poll shows Hillary Clinton way out ahead in Pennsylvania, thanks in part to the 23 percent of respondents who said Barack Obama's saturation advertising is turning them off. The Obama campaign is currently spending more per week on ads in Pennsylvania than any other candidate ever has spent.
Political Wire:
A new American Research Group poll in Pennsylvania shows Sen. Hillary Clinton has regained and increased her lead over Sen. Barack Obama, 57% to 37%. The previous ARG poll actually had the race tied at 45%, making this a huge swing for Clinton in just a week.
Key finding: "23% of likely primary voters say that excessive exposure to Obama's advertising is causing them to support Clinton. This compares to 19% of likely primary voters in Ohio who said that excessive exposure to Obama's advertising in that state caused them to support Clinton."

Mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt into a cup of warm water as the best gargle remedy for a toothache. Gargle with the mixture, swishing it around the area where the toothache is for up to three minutes. Spit the salt gargle out and rinse you
The Best Remedy for a Toothache
An infected tooth can become a miserable toothache, and a home remedy may be necessary if you cannot see a dentist right away. A toothache generally happens when tooth decay invades or when the pulp chamber is infected. Brush and floss your teeth when you feel a toothache coming. Dislodging residue and pieces of food can help bring relief.
Sal Gargle
Place a clove of garlic with a little rock salt on the affected tooth to help relieve pain. Garlic is a natural antibiotic and, with salt, it helps prevent infection from progressing.
Oil of Clove
Oil of clove is a natural anesthetic and can be purchased at any drugstore or in the grocery dietary supplement aisle.
Place a drop of oil of clove on a cotton ball or on your finger. Rub the oil directly on the affected tooth, while avoiding gums or swallowing the remedy.
Salt and Pepper
Salt and pepper are the best remedy to use on a toothache that is caused by bacteria. Take a pinch of salt and black pepper, placing it directly on the infected tooth.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and can be used as a remedy for a toothache. Rub a drop of tea tree oil right into the infected tooth, either with the help of a cotton ball or one of your fingers.
Tea tree oil makes a good antiseptic mouth gargle that helps kill bacteria. Add two drops of tea tree oil to a glass of water and swirl it around in your mouth before spitting out.

A miniature Sedona RoadRunner hits the streets of West Sedona on Monday, June 4, for a 10-week pilot program aimed at residents.
A 10-passenger van displaying the same design as the RoadRunner trolleys in Uptown will take riders from the Uptown Municipal Parking Lot to the Sedona Public Library with 12 other stops in between.
"I think it's going to add so much to the community. It gives residents an opportunity they've never had," Jim Wagner, Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority Sedona program manager, said.
Sedona City Council recently agreed to fund the program at the request of City Manager Eric Levitt.
Assistant to the City Manager Andrea Costello said city staff projects the program to cost $25,000 to $30,000. Funding comes from the city's general fund.
The van picks up its first passengers at the Uptown parking lot at 11 a.m., Monday through Friday. Forty-three minutes later, the van stops at the library. The cycle is repeated at the beginning of every hour until 6 p.m.
Blue signs with numbers corresponding to the numbers on the route map will be at each stop.
To catch a ride, people have to pay $1 for a day pass unless they are a Sedona Community Center or Boys & Girls Club member. Membership identification is required.
Costello said the target audience is youth in the community, which is why the summer months were chosen as the test period.
Costello and Wagner scrambled to get the program together before school ended to get information to students.
Council approved the project May 18 and brochures had to be to schools before the last day of classes.
Wagner said locals are encouraged to take advantage of the service. Small children have to be accompanied by an adult.
Drivers will keep track of the number of riders and general age, Wagner said, to give council hard ridership numbers. Participation this year determines the Fun Run's fate.
"If this thing seems to work, I'm sure the City Council would consider it in the future," Wagner said.

America's 10 Most Highly Taxed Destinations
Don't forget to budget for tourism taxes. By Katrina Brown Hunt on Dec 18, 2013
You may think you scored a deal on your hotel and rental car—but have you really come out ahead? In some popular destinations, tourism taxes are adding big bucks to your daily vacation spend.
According to an annual study by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), tourism-related taxes added a whopping 58 percent to American travelers' vacations this past year. That's due to a rise in "discriminatory travel taxes"—the extras that are shouldered mainly by out-of-towners. These include state and local levies on car rentals, hotel stays, and restaurant meals.
Before we get to the naughty list, let's start with destinations whose tax policies are nice, relatively speaking. Kudos to a trio of Florida cities—Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, and West Palm Beach—for imposing the lightest tax burden on travelers, at an average of $22.61 a day. Honorable mentions go to tourist-friendly metro areas bolstered by mouse ears: Orange County, California (home of Anaheim-based Disneyland), and Orlando.
So then, where does the taxman hit vacationers the hardest? These are this year's 10 most tax-happy destinations, ranked by the average traveler's daily outlay in tourism taxes:
1. Chicago: $41.04 a day
The Windy City taxes its visitors on almost every front: a 9.25-percent sales tax, a 16-percent hotel tax, a deep-dish 10.75-percent restaurant tax and a whopping 20 percent on car rentals—and that's before the extra car rental flat tax of $2.75 per day.
(MORE: View a family trip itinerary: 3 days in Chicago with kids.)
2. New York City: $38.65 a day
Here's why you should embrace the subway when visiting the Big Apple: the car rental tax nears 20 percent a day. Otherwise, NYC sends the taxman to collect 18 percent at hotels, which includes a daily $2.50 flat tax. By comparison, the 8.88-percent restaurant and sales taxes seem pretty mild.
3. Minneapolis: $36.70 a day
This Minnesota twin city tops the charts for the highest car rental tax in the land—almost 22 percent a day—as well as the highest restaurant tax, at 10.78 percent. But there's good news if you're heading to the Mall of America: shoppers pay no sales tax on clothes or shoes.
4. Kansas City: $36.61 a day
The Missouri city has one of the highest hotel tax rates in the country—an overall 17.27 percent, when you factor in a daily flat tax of $1.50. Car rentals also carry a $4-a-day flat tax beyond the basic 15-percent rate.
(MORE: Find a kid-friendly hotel in Kansas City.)
5. Indianapolis: $36.00 a day
Hotel taxes in this Indiana hub are a steep 17 percent, and there's also a 17-percent car rental tax, and a 9-percent restaurant tax.
6. Cleveland: $35.41 a day
This Ohio city plays it tough with tourists, ranking in the top 10 for both hotel taxes (16.5 percent) and car rentals (18.52 percent, including a $6-a-day flat tax). The local sales tax also pushes 8 percent.
7. Boston: $35.32 a day
Beantown is fairly tourist-friendly when it comes to both hotels (14.45 percent) and sales tax (just 6.25 percent). But car rentals carry a tax of nearly 24 percent a day, including a daunting $10-a-day flat tax.
8. Seattle: $35.11 a day
While the Emerald city lands among the 10 worst for car rental taxes (17.2 percent), what pushes Seattle into the overall most-taxed list is its 9.5-percent sales and restaurant taxes.
9. Nashville: $34.75 a day
Shopping and eating out add up fast in Music City—9.25-percent taxes for each—and the hotel tax approaches 18 percent, thanks to a daily flat tax of $2.50.
10. Houston: $34.16 a day
The old saying that "everything is big in Texas" loses its charm when those things are taxes. Your car rental comes with a 15-percent tax, the sales tax is 8.25 percent and hotels lob on a 17-percent tax.

Wonderful ensemble. Loved to see so many talented bay area actresses and actors work their magic. A sweetly old-fashioned and light and sad and funny collection of stories. Engaging, uplifting without being saccharine.

I did not feel that In Friendship was a good choice by Word for Word. Really simple dialog without any substantial emotional content. Not the best use of some very good talent. I had enjoyed their production of "You Know When the Men Are Gone"...continued

It was charming, well acted and as always word for word made the words literally LIVE! the space doesn't have a bad seat and fosters an intimacy very suitable for the performance.

In Friendship was an excellent and moving production. Very enjoyable.

About the Ticket Supplier: Z Space StudioFounded in 1993 by David Dower, the Z Space Studio has become one of the nation's leading laboratories for the development of new voices, new works and new directions in American theater.
By creating a space where all types of artistic development can occur side by side, the Z Space has become what Berkeley Repertory Theatre's Artistic Director Tony Taccone describes as "a virtual bastion of creativity, a bubbling cauldron of new work, and a safe haven for unfettered creative expression."
Given the nature of development as a "behind the scenes" endeavor, the Studio's impact is often invisible to the general public. However, whether they know it or not, over 100,000 people across the country experience theater from artists that developed at the Studio through our three main programs (Word for Word Performing Arts Company, Z Plays Development, and Youth Arts).
The Z Space employs hundreds of artists each year in the process of developing new works -- creating work for a diverse audiences in fields as varied as solo performance, ensemble theater, puppetry, acrobatics, dance, and multimedia production.

Vietnam / France / Germany, 2010 (MIFF 2011, Accent on Asia)
Director: Phan ng Di
"A heat-soaked panorama of human desires." - Screen International
It is a stifling Hanoi summer and the unexpected return of six year-old Bi's dying grandfather has an unsettling influence on an already fragmented family. While his father finds solace in booze and the affections of his masseuse, and his single aunt grapples with her deeply suppressed sexual desires, Bi struggles to make sense of his fragmenting world.
A sultry portrait of Vietnamese urban alienation told through the eyes of a confused child, Bi, Don't Be Afraid is writer-director Phan Đăng Di's intriguing and unsettling debut feature. An erotically and symbolically charged affair that will, at the very least, have you never look at ice cubes the same way again.
Winner of two Critics Week prizes at last year's Cannes Film Festival.

New Brunswick, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/15/2012 -- The popular pure green coffee supplement Perfect Green Coffee has a chlorogenic acid level of 50% which has been verified by a certified testing laboratory. Perfect Green Coffee bean extract supplements are also certified for purity.
There are many new green coffee supplement products available but few of them are pure products and many of them do not stand up to scrutiny when tested by a licensed laboratory. But, Perfect Green Coffee has stood up to the scrutiny of lab testing, while others have failed.
Most green coffee supplements claim to be pure products, but often the ingredients labels on so-called pure products tell a different story. That is why consumers should be sure to read the ingredients label on any supplement prior to purchasing. HealthFoodPost.com displays ingredients labels for most all of the products it offers. A pure product should not contain additional ingredients of any kind. That means there should be fillers or other unnecessary ingredients. Perfect Green Coffee is lab-verified for purity as well as for its high chlorogenic acid level.
An informative video offering consumer tips for reading and understanding ingredients labels for green coffee products has been produced by HealthFoodPost.com and the video can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAN7E3Z0Qyk or on HealthFoodPost.com.
All Perfect brand products including Perfect Green Coffee come with a customer satisfaction 100% money back guarantee so consumers can shop with risk-free confidence.

Doesn't it always look so convincing? Star lead actor is frantically sawing at the wheel, and when it cuts back to the wide, damn if that wasn't a perfectly clipped apex, with a tinge of four wheel drift counteracted by just the right amount of opposite lock. Even Steve McQueen couldn't pull it off for Bullitt. The real story behind all those inspiring scenes of cars whipping hither and yon is that they're piloted by stunt drivers who have one of the best car guy jobs ever.
There's a nice little sequel to a sequel quietly making its way to theaters, perhaps you've heard of the Bourne Ultimatum? Besides offering a cinematic venue for Matt Damon to further cement his status as a cross between James Bond and John McClane, its serving as a nice little advertisement for Volkswagen's second generation Touareg. Several of the vehicles were given the General Lee treatment (i.e. a couple were kept nice, a whole bunch were thrashed and trashed) during the 140 days of production. Even the stunt drivers were impressed at how the Touaregs just hunkered down and took whatever abuse they were thrown. To get all those bitchin' shots requires maneuvers that'd make you screw up your face in horror. We're talking about things you wouldn't even do to a rented car.
[Source: Telegraph.co.uk]
Being a big-budget feature film, they couldn't resist the urge to make things exceptionally difficult for themselves. Several scenes call for Matt Damon to do this thing called acting - pretending to dodge bullets, leaning out the window to shoot at the bad guys, all while pulling off wheel maneuvers that would make Tazio Nuvolari hang it up. Acting and driving just don't mix - so stunt drivers were used. So far so good, so let's throw in a 360 degree coverage of the interior, so there's no place to hide who's actually piloting the car. That just wouldn't do, so the filmmakers got creative and had a large tubular safety cage bolted to the roof so that a not-insubstantial driver could point the Touareg where it needed to go via extended controls. An extra 500 pounds on the roof must have done wonders for vehicle dynamics, and being all the way at the end of that pendulum would have made us puke in our helmets, but that type of silliness and suspension of your sense of self-preservation are de rigeur in the movie business.
All that effort apparently paid off, as the trick driving looks great in the release, and nobody was flung from the roof of a Touareg like a frozen chicken leaving the bucket of a ballista. All in a day's work, everyone would likely say. Oh, and McQueen? He was replaced by stunt driver extrodinaire Bud Elkins for a variety of reasons, even with his race driving chops.

So it's officially the first day of summer, the solstice, the longest day of the year. Technically the earth's axis is at exactly 23.4 degrees relative to the sun. Historically it's a day of celebration, ceremony and fascinating pagan rites, but in Nina terms it means beautifully long sunny days and barefoot walks in the grass.
It's the turn of a season and the beginning of a fabulous new day.
We woke up in style to the most glorious of mornings, slightly on the chilly side but beautifully refreshing, and astonished to find the very first drops of rain this year had fallen in our forested "back yard".
After I had peeled off the cat (who had hermetically sealed herself to me with the low temps overnight), and put the hair back on hubby's chest with an espresso so solid even a Turk would approve, I took pooch by the reins and bounded with youthful joy, or my best impression thereof, into the moist and fragrant forest.
Ahhh to be a fawn of the forest, fairy of the trees and dryad of the greens. Doggie and I skipped with all abandon up the creek and immersed ourselves in the new scents of dew.
And then I noticed the blooms.
Not that I hadn't seen them before, but on this day they seemed to shine particularly bright. As if on cue blooms of spring much delayed by drought and a long winter blanketed the forest for the first day of summer.
We had a fine time pooch and I, out there by ourselves. I snapped up flower shots on my stomach while doggie bounded around with ever-hopeful thoughts of rabbits and squirrels. No locals were harmed and we returned with dignity intact to the campground.
It may our last day in the forest, and the end of a very enchanted ride, but it's the beginning of a whole new season and I, for one, am really looking forward to it.

TC Electronic releases M30 Studio Reverb (Free until Wed 18 Nov, 2009)
16th November 2009
16th November 2009
Related Products
TC Electronic has announced the release of the M30 Studio Reverb plug-in for Windows and Mac OS X in VST and AU effect plug-in formats. If you act quickly you can get it for free - it's available for $0.00, by signing up for the TC Electronic Newsletter, until Wednesday 18th November, 2009, after then it'll cost $79. This is a non-expiring and fully functional plug-in.
The M30 Studio Reverb is a simple to use reverb that is powered by AlgoFlex - a new high definition TC technology that enables hardware quality and predictability to be ported to native software.
- Hall: M30 is derived from the popular M40 reverb that ships with all TC Electronic audio interfaces. The sound of M30 takes the same Hall reverb algorithm that's found in the M40 (alongside Room and Plate algorithms).
- Pre Delay: Whether you work with vocals or instruments, the M30 Studio Reverb will add a broad and warm reverb to your sound. Use the pre delay to separate the source from the reverb tail.
- Decay: M30 preserves the natural characteristics of the original source, which gives you an authentic large sound. Use the decay parameter to adjust the length of the reverb diffuse field.
- Hi Color: The sound of M30 is perfectly suited to vocals, but it can also be used with a wide variety of instruments and audio material. Hi Color varies the "color" of the reverb. From dark to crisp and bright, the Color parameter can really change the characteristics and style of the reverb.
- Mix: The Mix parameter obviously sets the wet/dry mix. Use the convenient 100% knob when working with the reverb as parallel effect.

WICHITA, Kan. — Deputies are investigating after someone stole a credit card from a mailbox and used it to buy thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
Last week, Sedgwick County sheriff's deputies were called to a residence in the 15200 block of Hickory Circle where a resident reported receiving two packages he didn't order.
According to the sheriff's department, someone had taken a Pier 1 Imports credit card from the mailbox at the home in late March and used it to purchase $2,100 worth of items in the homeowner's name.
The card has since been canceled and the items were returned.

|CD158k is expressed on subsets of NK cells, on subsets of cytotoxic cells and some T cells. Expression on individual NK cells is complex and several members of the KIR family. The repertoire of KIR molecules varies among NK cells and is not determined solely by the HLA hapotypes.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily.
CD158k is a single-pass type-1 455 aa transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains an a 21 aa signal peptide, an extracellular domain which contains 3 Ig-like C2-type domains (D0, D1 and D2) with 3 potential N-linked glycosylation sites, a 20 aa hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a 84-95 aa long cytoplasmic domain which contains 2 ITIM sequences. It has been noted that a pair of cysteines at the N-terminal of the transmembrane portion could be involved in disulfide bridge formation. CD158k maybe expressed as a disulfide-linked dimer and interacts with certain HLA-A molecules. Using Western blot analysis, CD158k is expressed as a 150 kDa protein under nonreducing conditions or as a 70 kDa protein under reducing conditions.
POST-TRANSCRIPTIONAL MODIFICATION: No information.
POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION: No information.
|LIGANDS AND MOLECULES ASSOCIATED WITH CD158k
CD158k possibly binds certain HLA-A molecules.
|CD158k is involved in the suppression of NK cell mediated cytotoxicity. CD158k forms disulfide-linked homidimers of 2 p70 subunits. KIR with ITIM sequences in the cytoplasmic domain inhibit NK and CTL mediated lysis against certain target cells expressing an appropriate MHC class I ligand. In addition, interactions between KIR on NK or T cells and MHC class I on antigen presenting cells can inhibit cytokine production. In contrast, NK and T cells expressing KIR without an ITIM may enhance cytolysis against target cells expressing an appropriate MHC class I ligand. However, inhibitory KIR can prevent stimulation by an activating KIR if the potential target or antigen presenting cell also expresses a ligand of the inhibitory KIR. CD158k regulates the NK cell mediated cytolytic activity upon interaction with appropriate HLA-C alleles, recognizing these groups of HLA class 1 allotypes rather than individual MHC class I peptide complexes.
BIOCHEMICAL ACTIVITY: No information.
DISEASE RELEVANCE AND FUNCTION OF CD158k IN INTACT ANIMAL
CD158k is a potential marker for Sezary syndrome and is being investigated as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of various cancers.
Killer cell immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptors (KIR), also called killer cell inhibitory receptors, are glycoproteins expressed in natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells. The KIR family is estimated to include about 11 genes. Some members of the KIR family bind to certain HLA class I deficient cell lines. Ligation of such KIR by HLA class I molecules on target cells results in inhibition of the NK or T cell cytotoxic activity. The inhibition could be disrupted by antibodies against membrane glycoproteins on NK cells that recognized HLA- and HLA-C. Inhibitory KIRs are found in 3 distinct isoforms. KIRs that recognize HLA-C are usually monomeric glycoproteins of about 58 kDa with 2 Ig-like domains (KIR2D). KIRs that are reactive with HLA-B are approximately 70 kDa monomeric glycoproteins with 3 Ig-like domains (KIR3D). The KIR family is further subdivided into forms with short and long intracytoplasmic tails. The 1st and 2nd Ig domains in KIR2D are closely related in aa sequence to the 2nd and 3rd Ig domains in KIR3D. These 2 related Ig domains are called D1 and D2, respectively. D0 is the 1st Ig domain in KIR3D. KIR members vary in the length of the cytoplasmic tails. Most of the long cytoplasmic tails, KIR2DL and KIR3DL, deliver an inhibitory signal and carry 2 immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIM) which recruit and activate protein tyrosine phosphates, SHP-1 and or SHP-2. Other receptors, of about 50 kDa, with short cytoplasmic regions (KIR2DS and KIR3DS) are truncated before the 1st ITIM causing them to have no ITIMs. They are are connected to a transmembrane region which includes a lysine residue and can activate NK or T cell responses. The short tail associates with a disulfide dimer of 14 kDa. phosphoproteins called DAP12 which is also known as killer activating protein (KARAP).

- Studio: Sundance Selects
- Release Date: Jun 17, 2011
- Summary: Buck, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real-life "horse-whisperer", he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses – and people – with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, BUCK is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds. (Sundance Selects)… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 27 out of 31
Mixed: 3 out of 31
Negative: 1 out of 31
Buck is a movie to be revisited again and again, like passages from a satisfying self-help book. Riding experience isn't necessary to realize how extraordinary this man and his calling are.
The riders who appear in Buck seem almost uniformly exalted by their contact with Brannaman and his methods.
In some sense it was beauty that saved Mr. Brannaman, that of his conscience and that of horses, which, having been tied to humans long ago, became companions, workers and for some, as this lovely movie shows, saviors.
Soft-spoken and stoical, Brannaman is a firm but sensitive presence in front of the camera and facing down a spooked horse.
What I was left with was the goodness of Buck Brannaman as a man. He was dealt a hand that might have destroyed him. He overcame his start and is now a wise and influential role model. He does unto horses as he wishes his father had done onto him.
Jun 14, 2011Meehl finds the real story in Brannaman's fractured past as a child celebrity trick-roper who, along with his older brother, Smokie, was systematically abused by his alcoholic father.
Life lessons abound in Buck, most of them tied to endlessly reiterated comparisons between man and horse.

Jul 17, 2011Truly this is great movie for all ages. It has a unique style of a movie with a critical look at the side of the animal as part of our lives. The acting is a real pleasure to watch with the reality of both living and helping others to help themselves and their animals fit together in our lives. The family aspect was vital in making and location filming adds so much to its poignancy. Each member of the family with Buck work together and become a important force for each family and animal they help. Outstanding filming and narration from friends, coworkers, put this movie into the top 10 of the year for me. Hope it can get vital distribution throughout the country. A screen gem ! 5 out 5 for me… Expand
Jul 2, 2011A good documentary is entertaining, educational, informative and usually makes you leave the theater thinking long after the movie has ended. While many documentaries have a political or moral stance, it is the rare documentary that fulfills all of the criteria for a good documentary, yet really has no purpose other than to enlighten. "Buck," is the documentary of real-life horse whisperer Buck Brannaman, his path to the life he chose, the lessons he learned as a child and how he took the right path as an adult in spite of his past.
"Buck" was timely for me as it represented what is in my heart at the moment. Wanting to enjoy each moment as they come. Not dwell on the past. Turn the negative things that have happened to me into positive things for the future. While the documentary did serve to tell Buck's story, as well as give insight into the amazing work he does as a horse trainer, it did much more. It displayed immense insight into fatherhood, parenting, patience and living for the positive things in our short lives.
While watching, I frequently thought of my estranged father-in-law, whom I believe would love this movie. Not only as a father, but also as a love for the roots of what makes a good cowboy.
"Buck" is a beautifully shot film with a captivating, heartwarming, as well as heartbreaking, story. I couldn't encourage seeing it more.… Expand
Aug 16, 2011Buck is someone we all should learn from, and a remarkable man. This movie doesn't quite do him justice. Unfortunately, this movie could have been culled down into an hour tv documentary and probably have been just as good. The producers may have borrowed from Buck a little too much and failed to plum the depths of the man, instead merely letting us hear a whisper of him.… Expand

Visiting Alberta's farms and farmers – whether urban or rural – has always been a big part of my life in Alberta and summer is the prime time to make a visit. If you'd like to meet some farmers here's some ideas I've collected to help you be "Outstanding in a field" this summer.

@CityPalate #GetThis – great ingredients and cool things for spring
Some people are born to shop but I was born to grocery shop. I love it.
I am delighted that I get to write about the great ingredients and cool things I find in local grocery stores, markets and kitchen shops. I do this for my Get This (must have kitchen stuff) column in Calgary's City Palate magazine.
I've been writing Get This since the fall of 2010 and I am inspired by the fun things I find for each and every issue. I respect that my publisher and editor never tell me what to write about. They trust that I will write about things City Palate readers will be interested in. That is what City Palate is about first, last and always…for over 20 years…what readers will find interesting.
Thinking about our readers motivates me every time. Along with the products I love to squeeze in a few recipes and news about local farms and businesses, and great chefs and designers.
In this issue I wrote about the following products which will qualify for this blog's cool things category:
Cool thing #17 – Ruckles – groovy goat cheese from Salt Spring Island
Cool thing #18 – Spiegelau's balloon decanter and tumbler set – a darling with great hand feel
Cool thing #19 – Tartufo nero – black truffle oil that I think is asparagus's taste soul mate
Cool thing #20 – DaVinci orange syrup – agent orange as an asset
Cool thing #21 – Lemonaise – lemon lending flavour potential
Cool thing #22 – Village Brewery Growlers – the most chillin' beer for summer.
You'll find the full story in this May/June issue.
I have a fridge, freezer and pantry stuffed to the gills with great ingredients and cool things. I wouldn't have it any other way. It's truly a part of what helps me savour it all.

My April column for CBC Radio One @AlbertaatNoon – @mysoilmate
My April column for CBC Radio One's Alberta at Noon was all about a new website called Soil Mate.
The Soil Mate website acts like a match making service between consumers and farmers. Just as internet matchmaking services helps people find their soul mate, this site will help you find your "soil mate". But, it's all brand new and Soil Mate needs help building a directory of farmers, farmer's markets and wineries that will span North America. We can all help. Here's a bit more information and my podcast.

Savour food – farmers I know – just in time for Thanksgiving – Winter's Turkeys and how I cook mine
I've known Darrel Winter and his wife Corrine Dahm since about 2005 when I started doing volunteer work for Slow Food Calgary. I met a lot of Alberta farmers in the six years I worked actively on the board of that organization. Winter and Dahm stood out. Anyone who meets them appreciates the honest and earnest way they conduct themselves and how that translates to the animal husbandry practices of their turkey farm.
In 2007 I first visited their farm and started calling it "the turkey spa". Beyond a wholesome farm smell, the air is crisp and clean. There is fresh straw bedding laid daily for the turkeys. They have access to the great outdoors, food and water at all times. They are calm. Their life is calm. The only thing missing is a bit of Bach playing softly in the background.
Winter's father converted the farm from chickens to turkeys in 1958 and Winter still feeds the turkeys the same program his father devised. We'll talk a bit about that here, share some photos and I'll share my favourite way to cook a turkey.
Savour food – farmers I know – Tony and Penny Marshall of @HighwoodC and a recipe for easy oat buns
Highwood Crossing Farm has been in Tony Marshall's family for almost 120 years now. The farm is in Aldersyde, Alberta and hugs a curve in the Highwood River. It's as though the land of the farm and the flow of the river are two lovers spooning. Most of the time, life is that peaceful and serene there.
In June of this year that was definitely not the case. That's when we Albertans dealt with The Great Alberta Flood of 2013 and Tony and Penny Marshall of Highwood Crossing saw their Highwood Crossing Foods Ltd. processing plant in High River swallowed up by the river. To add insult to injury the basement of their beloved and beautiful home on the family homestead was also devastated. As always, they looked around and thought – things could be worse. They regrouped and are slowly rebuilding as they can. Before long Tony was making a joke that with all that flour and water in High River it was a good thing they did not also make yeast. High River would have had another mess on their hands the likes of a Ghostbusters movie.
This blog will talk about the Highwood Crossing organic grain farm, the products they produce and what's involved in that process and then finish with a few of Penny Marshall's delectable recipes. I've had the delight of trying these good things and enjoyed them so much I'm confident you will too.

Savour food – more about grass-finished beef w @OGC_AB
This film clip talks about the small but important trend towards grass-finished beef ranching, pasture management, environmental stewardship, and prairie grassland habitat restoration here in Alberta, Canada.
Do you know the difference between grass-fed beef and grass-finished beef? A friend that I consider a real food lover asked me the what the difference is last week and I thought – wow, if he doesn't know then how many other people don't understand the difference and what it means for the health of the animal, the land and the humans who enjoy beef? This blog will discuss the difference between grass-fed and grass-finished cattle in more detail. If you are keen to read this I'm sure you'll enjoy the 12 minute film above. It's loaded with the beauty of Alberta and her precious grasslands.

He relies soley on catch phrases and childish remarks, while guys like Piper for example, in his prime could battle verbily with anyone and everyone, not relying on just a few corny lines.
No he doesn't. Not all the time.
You must have forgotten if you don't think Rock wasn't capable of cutting promos that didn't involve catchphrases or he had to rely on them. On the subject of Austin, he is great on the mic but just like Rock, Steve Austin is exactly the same with the catchphrases. What?, Gimmie a Hell Yeah, Thats the bottom line cause stone cold said so and so on. Having catchphrases in promos do not make anyone any less of a good mic worker. This is an age old concept, as Rock is not the only guy to use and constantly use them. Thats what they are for.
They use those to make a connection with the audience, sell merch etc. People act like its a bad thing or someone isnt good because they use them. Give a give a bland guy a thousand catchphrases and see how over he gets? It will fail. You cant buy that charisma and delivery.
But yeah Rock has been diverse in the past and have completed promos where he didn't use catchphrases at all or kept them to a minimum. People just remember the jokes and catchphrases because he did them often, but its not a bad thing at all. The promo that Rock cut before his match at Wrestlemania XIX is an example of that.
No catchphrases to get his point across, serious, and to the point. Just like others who did promos without catchphrases and all that jive, so did Rock. I dont even think Rock needed to rely on them because he had other qualities on the mic to make up for them. I just feel that catchphrases is another element to a good mic worker. Because it highlights your delivery and ability to get things over with the audience. Which is important. Hence my bland guy example.
Are there other superstars that are better than Rock in that area? Sure. Rock is a guy who is known for the jokes and catchphrase but what people fail to realize is that he has done promos that were not in that style. People just remember his usual schtick. But to say Rock hasn't done promos like that and/or is not capable of doing so, or only does them is false. If you haven't seen them, you should look around more because its out there. He has quite a few promos in that area. Im not saying he is the best of all time or anything just wanted to show that he has infact done promos that were not backed and relied on by catchphrases.

Conservation group's national accreditation renewed
A conservation group that helps preserve land in Northern Virginia and the Fredericksburg area had its national accreditation renewed.
The Northern Virginia Conservation Trust spent a year working on the renewal granted by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission.
"We are just beyond thrilled," Peggy Stevens, the trust's executive director, said Monday.
The trust was initially accredited five years ago, the first such group in Virginia to do so, Stevens said.
The private, nonprofit group works with landowners and government to protect land in urban and rural areas.
Locally, the trust holds four conservation easements, totaling 384 acres, in Stafford County and Fredericksburg, according to the organization.
A conservation easement is a voluntary agreement between a landowner and a land trust to permanently protect natural, scenic and cultural resources on the property. In return for giving up development rights, private landowners receive a tax break.
The trust also owns a 70-acre great blue heron nesting site next to Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve in eastern Stafford, plus another 53 acres in various areas of the county.
Paul Milde, Stafford supervisor who represents the Aquia District where Crow's Nest is located, praised the trust for helping to "actually save open space."
"They really have their heart in the right place," he said.
Stevens said what the trust does is not only important for wildlife and the environment, but also people.
"We see the importance of protecting natural spaces and open spaces," she said.
In a news release, Patrick Coady, chairman for the trust's board of directors, said the accreditation plays a key role in what they do.
"The trust welcomed accreditation five years ago and we are pleased to be recognized again in our 20th anniversary year," he said. "Renewal of accreditation is important in our work with landowners, and in our relationships with government partners, conservation easement donors and contributors."
