For centuries, people have used medicinal arnica to increase circulation and reduce pain. When applied promptly to a bruise, an injured joint, or a muscle sprain, its healing compounds can facilitate a quicker recovery. Arnica is also used to treat falls, black eyes, fatigued muscles, and contusions.
To harness the greatest benefits from this natural plant, we've combined it with raw, organic sesame oil. Sesame oil is a skin soother that can soften and moisturize lips and hair as well. Using the two components in harmony produces an oil that acts as an organic, natural skin treatment and remedy for arthritis, pain, injuries, cuts, and bruises.
To achieve the most from arnica's healing power, its flowers must be fresh and not dried. We work within those parameters by picking fresh, wild arnica blossoms on hikes in the mountains and placing them directly into the Rejuvenative sesame oil we bring with us.
For best results, apply Ultimate Sesame Arnica Oil to unbroken skin immediately upon incurring an injury.
INGREDIENTS: Raw, cold-processed, fresh-pressed sesame seeds* and wild-crafted arnica flowers. *Organic
Our organic sesame oil arnica offers many potential benefits:
This raw organic Ultimate Sesame Arnica oil is available at your local natural food store or you can order it above. Satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back! All Rejuvenative Foods are fresh and pure. Please enjoy within 6 months for best flavor.
* Arnica Flowers are not certified organic because they are picked in the wild.

Retired to mountains of California. Sell on eBay as Prsilla. No TV. Volunteer in wildlife rehab. Knit, sew or embroider while listening.
Well, how was Courtenay supposed to end this story based on history? I needed to hear about Gallipoli as I didn't even know where it was! I have seen people just shake their heads in mention of it, so I needed this book with its carefully planned descriptions -- rats included! Courtenay is not simply taking a stand against war, like choosing milk over lemon. He expresses several times his gut level take on the results of old men planning a war that young men will die fighting. I have sat frustrated in staff meetings with lieutenant bars on my own shoulders across from a grizzled and giggling major, while waiting for an elderly Lieutenant Colonel way past his sell-by date to say, "Well we kicked that around enough -- " without making any decision whatsoever! I have seen how ego rules these matters. And my Vietnam veteran husband left a poem about old men playing dominos, the domino theory being a knee-jerk shorthand picture of strategy in Southeast Asia where so many of his friends died, including Jack Freppon, a blond orphan raised in NYC's Harlem by a black family. Jack was hit while waving to his friend across a hillside.
Courtenay set up the shocking end to this book by carefully describing the various family members and how their lives were moving along as WWI approached. He even describes Victoria's "toilette" on the day she meets with David and Abraham Solomon. This is a marvelous lesson in dressing for success practiced decades before its time: no makeup, hair in a bun, neutral colors, sensible shoes. And Hawk's first idea had been to have her tart herself up! She has already finished law school. We get it loud and clear that this is a powerful and determined young woman embodying oodles of potential, whether or not her brother comes forward. We see how David has taken charge of indoctrinating Joshua, how Abraham is a reasonable man sadly overshadowed by his father. Alas, while the good die young, the bad sometimes do die old! Courtenay shows us that Hawk feels his strength waning, even as his mind and will are clear. Hawk is measuring himself against the task at hand, doing his best to set precedents that will reward future generations.
Then Ben comes forward as a true hero, a man who can always think what to do next when others are literally losing their heads. We know he is handsome like his Dutch father, but I fell in love with his intensity, his coming up with creative solutions to impossible situations. Anyone forced to work for an inadequate supervisor can appreciate how Ben is able to work with a real weirdo young OIC and turn him into a cooperative team member and ultimately a friend and brother. Suddenly we see the results of constant practice of a skill -- both with the rifle and in Ben's case with the Maori fighting axe. We see the men ordered to help each other, friendships formed that will have to continue in Heaven.
Sarah Atkins is a real breath of fresh air near the end of the book. Always having to scrimp, extremely modest, she is amazed when Ben treats her to a new coat in London. Another coat for her friend. Ben puts his money where they can well enjoy it. Obviously, Sarah has no clue her fiance is wealthy! These descriptions are delicious. As in, "We'll always have Paris!" or in this case, London. In looking online for historical background, I opened a 99-year-old document showing lists of nurses with sweet names like Edith and Myrtle.
No, the book doesn't fizzle at the end! We can imagine the rest. Joshua will never lead the company! Victoria will have to work with Abraham. We can hope she marries and has fine children and a real helpmeet in her partner. I would love to know more of the sources Mr. Courtenay used for this story. But to take the story any further would be like kicking around ideas about Prince William and his Kate. It will be what it is. History happens. Better to stop here and get it loud and clear that wars are planned by old men and solve nothing.
"Great Trilogy - loved the 3rd generation"
Not likely. It is a long listen and the third of a series. I'm not likely to listen to books again, especially trilogies which require so much more time. There are a few slow parts in this 3rd novel - particularly through the beginning to middle. The last third is very engaging though. I would highly recommend this book - the whole triology as a first read though. The stories have a nice mix of fictional history, great character development, and tie together (throughout all three novels). Story flows nicely from beginning to end. The beginning/middle of this third novel was a little slow in comparison to the stories in the other two novels. And I wondered if Courtenay was ever going to develop the younger Solomons - Victoria, Ben, and Joshua. But the last third of the book makes up for some of the slow parts earlier in the novel. I usually listen to audiobooks during my commute. When I arrive at my destination, I find it hard to turn off the novel - and have even driven around for a while just to listen to it longer.
For new readers to Courtenay - his novels can be a bit tragic. If you prefer romantic novels or really happy-go-lucky stories then you will hate this novel.
All other Bryce Courtenay novels (Tommo and Hawk, Persimmon Tree, Power of One).
The war scenes reminded me a lot of Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes. If you don't like hearing about tragedies or war scenes, then you will hate the last third of this novel. I found it very interesting - both in the details of the missions/battles and with the development of the characters as soldiers prior to and after battle.
Yes - excellent as always. Bower's narration is one of my favorite parts of the audiobooks. I couldn't imagine better narration. Great accents and enthusiasm (or lack thereof where appropriate).
Ben Tinkelman. Who wouldn't love the bloke after reading that novel? He is loved by his mates, thoughtful, and well humored. But I have no doubts Victoria or Hawk would make for a great dinner conversation.
Tangential, eclectic, avid listener... favorite book is the one currently in ear.
"You really don't want to go here..."
The Potato Factory was so good, Tommo and Hawk not quite as good... but the cliffhanger drags you right into this Solomon's Song... the supposed end. But you will be left unsatisfied. It feels like author was up against deadlines. His writing style changes to telling instead of showing in large parts of the book... the first part of book doesn't jive with second part of book which seems to place characters into the war, simply to discuss the war historically. When the audio book ended... I came back to my library to see if I had missed downloading a third section, because there is a whole lot of loose ends never addressed in finishing the trilogy. Buy the Potato Factory... but stop there.
"If only to finish the trilogy"
I won't spoil this book for those who have not yet listened to it. I will just say that after the absolutely perfect 10 star epic Potato Factory, and the lesser but almost equally enjoyable, Tommo and Hawk, this finale comes up short. The author has dropped his previous deep character development for an anti-war statement that the listener can see coming from a mile away. So many great storylines just piddle out and the entire book shifts into nothingness, with a completely predictable and abrupt "message" ending. I absolutely love this trilogy and am so sad that it ended with such disappointment. Having said that, the overall story was well worth the credits and I'm 90% happy with it all. Then again, I was 200% happy after The Potato Factory :)
"Really a 4 1/2"
I guess I just missed the characters of the first two. Not much really happened and I suspect it was meant to tribute Australia's contribution to WWII. It did a good job of that. For me it was too much fighting and not enough story.
Late middle-aged constant reader who greatly prefers Audible "reads" to radio. I love all books -- Audible, eReader and print editions.
"Wonderful Surprise"
I really had no idea what to expect from this saga but I found myself driving around the block day after day to finish portions of the story on my car player. I learned abobut the Gallipoli campaign, the growth of the economy in Australia, New Zeland and Tasmania and was fascinated by the richness of the settings. The characters were not studied in detail, but they caught the imagination and captured my attention. It was a delightful discovery.
"This book may be for you."
I listened to the entire trilogy. The story is maudlin, violent and full of anticipated and unanticipated death. What I liked most was the well researched history entwined throughout. Even the military engagements. And those usually bore me to tears. These are not great books, but they are entertaining and informative. If any of this appeals to you, this book may be for you. Be sure to read all three in order.
"I couldn't stop listening!"
A heart-wrenching story that I couldn't stop listening to, even buying extra credits so I could finish the trilogy. Wonderful!!!!!!!
"Typical Courtney – both good and bad"
Bryce Courtney has masterfully created some great characters in this trilogy. I have now read eight of his books and enjoyed all of them. My only criticism of Solomon's Song is the same complaint I have about all of his books. With few exceptions the stores tend to end rather abruptly leaving the reader with a lot of unresolved questions. At the end of most of his books, you were forced to use your imagination to imagine how the remaining characters and stories made out. Many would argue that this is not a bad thing but I am always left wanting just one or two more chapters to tidy things up. Still, an epic journey and well worth reading

VOTE (poll)
Sure, there are politicians who I don't like & who's policies I don't believe in, but democrat or republican, no US politician should be compared to Hitler. He created the single greatest loss of life in history & it is wildly disrespectful not only to the 4 million civilians killed, but also the hundreds of thousands of American, British, Polish, French & even German troops who fought to bring his murders to an end.
Ok.... End of hormone induced rant.
I don't know if I'm going to vote tomorrow because I haven't paid much attention to the campaign. There is one think i got to say though.
It drives me insane that a lot of my friends are voting for Obama just because he "supports" gay marriage. They don't know about any other aspects of his campaign and are going only off of that!
Don't get me wrong I am all for gay marriage but think of this.
4 years ago during the last election Obama was Anti- Gay Marriage. He believed marriage was between man and women. All of a sudden this year he is Pro- Gay Marriage? It really irritates me knowing he "changed" just to swing votes!

A 34-year-old Central Florida man could be sentenced to life in prison after he pleaded guilty to child-sex trafficking on Monday, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Hermenegildo Campa faces at least 10 years in prison.
He was a "regular customer" of a 15-year-old prostitute who had run away from home and was pregnant, officials said.
Federal officials called him an Orlando man but court records show he had an Ocoee address.
Campa found the girl's services through ads on the website Backpage.com, federal court records show.
Detectives with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office located the victim and another prostitute — a 12-year-old girl...

WAR ON TERROR: SECURITY THREAT: FEARING THE WORST; Terror Cell Poison Training OAlert over Germ Attack ONHS Checks on Vaccines
Byline: OONAGH BLACKMAN and MARK ELLIS, Foreign Editor
BRITAIN was last night speeding up preparations to combat the threat of chemical or biological attacks.
Health Secretary Alan Milburn has ordered an urgent review of contingency plans, Exercise Misty Scene, following a warning from the World Health Organisation.
He will visit the United States in the next two weeks for talks.
Mr Milburn has already asked the NHS to update emergency planning in areas such as vaccine stocks.
A source close to the minister said: "We are getting ready. It is clear that the nature of the threat is very real."
Last night it emerged that terror suspects in the USA had bought chemical transportation licences for as little as pounds 70.
And terrorists trained by Osama bin Laden in using poison gas are believed to be at large in America.
In Britain Mr Milburn has already chaired a series of meetings of the Contingency Planning Group at the Health Ministry in Whitehall with NHS Chief Executive Nigel Crisp.
But a former Cabinet Minister said there are concerns that the contingency plan needs to be strengthened.
The ex-minister said: "Tony Blair has been asking questions about this since the attack and there are concerns about some areas of contingency planning like stocks of vaccine.
"But heads are being knocked together and the procedures are being reviewed in the light of the heightened threat."
Downing Street urged the public not to panic over fears of a terrorist attack. But it warned people to be vigilant.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "There is no evidence of a specific threat to the UK.
"There is no reason why people should not carry out their normal day-to-day activities in the usual way."
Earlier, the World Health Organisation said it was essential the threat of chemical or biological attacks was not underestimated.
In a blueprint rushed out three months early, WHO said yesterday: "There is concern that the possibility of biological or chemical agents being deliberately released has not been given sufficient attention.
"For public health authorities the matter is one of relative priority. …

Tillman's gem stymies Red Sox
|Boston Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster delivers against the Baltimore Orioles in the first inning of a baseball game, Friday, June 14, 2013, in Baltimore. (AP Photo/Gail Burton)
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Chris Tillman took a two-hitter into the seventh inning, Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 22nd home run and the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Boston Red Sox 2-0 Friday night in a duel between the top two teams in the AL East.
Manny Machado had three hits for the Orioles, who have won five of six — including the first two in this four-game series. Baltimore moved within 1½ games of the division-leading Red Sox, the closest the Orioles have been to first place since May 13.
Tillman (7-2) allowed three hits and four walks in six-plus innings. The right-hander permitted only one runner to get past second base in winning his third straight start.
After Jose Iglesias chased Tillman with a leadoff double in the seventh, Darren O'Day got three successive outs. Tommy Hunter worked a perfect eighth and Jim Johnson completed the three-hitter to earn his 24th save.
Making his first career appearance at Camden Yards, 36-year-old Ryan Dempster (4-7) gave up two runs and five hits in 7 2-3 innings. He was victimized by a lack of offensive support — the Red Sox have gone 15 straight innings without scoring a run, and in this one they got only one hit after the fourth.
Boston has lost two in a row for the first time since May 28-29 against Philadelphia, and its streak of winning four consecutive series is over. The Red Sox are 1-4 against the Orioles this season and have won only four of the last 17 games between the clubs.
Davis led off the second inning with an opposite-field drive into the left-field seats, his sixth homer in the last eight games against the Red Sox.
Baltimore made it 2-0 in the third. Nate McLouth walked, took second on a single, advanced on a fly ball and scored when Adam Jones reached on a two-out dribbler down the third base line.
Tillman issued a walk in each of the first four innings but kept the Red Sox at bay. After Boston got runners on the corners with one out in the fourth, Will Middlebrooks hit a short fly to right and David Ross struck out.
NOTES: Machado hit two doubles to increase his major league-leading total to 30. He also extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a new career high. ... The Red Sox recalled RHP Rubby De La Rosa from Triple-A Pawtucket and optioned RHP Alex Wilson to the same club. De La Rosa was poised to make his Boston debut after being part of the last year's nine-player trade with the Dodgers. ... The Orioles recalled RHP Jake Arrieta to fill out their weary bullpen. ... After being designated for assignment Monday, Boston INF Pedro Ciriaco was traded to San Diego for a player to be named or cash. ... John Lackey will start for Boston on Saturday against Baltimore and Freddy Garcia. Lackey is 11-4 lifetime against the Orioles and Garcia is 10-4 vs. Boston. ... J.J. Hardy went hitless against Dempster and is 2 for 30 lifetime against the right-hander. ... Iglesias has hit in 15 straight games in which he has a plate appearance. ... The Orioles reinstated LHP Tsuyoshi Wada (elbow) from the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Norfolk. ... McLouth stole his 23rd base, tying a career high.

Outward Foreign Direct Investment and the Financial Crisis in Developing East Asia
Hill, Hal, Jongwanich, Juthathip, Asian Development Review
This paper examines two interrelated aspects of Asian economic dynamism and the management of external shocks, in the context of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) from developing East Asia. Outward FDI from these economies has been growing rapidly, driven by deeper economic integration, more open FDI regimes, growing technological and financial sophistication, and rising savings levels. The paper underlines these common region-wide determinants while pointing to a range of country-specific circumstances. Economic crises, such as the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 and the current global financial crisis, have large and unpredictable effects on the behavior of FDI and other forms of capital flow, with the general expectation that FDI will be less volatile than portfolio investment. This has been confirmed in both crisis episodes. Investment outcomes during the current crisis have accelerated the growing importance of developing East Asia in the global economy.
This paper examines two issues that are central to the rise of the dynamic East Asian economies and the management of globalization during a period of large external shocks. First, the paper examines the rise of developing East Asian economies (i.e., East and Southeast Asia excluding Japan) as significant sources of outward foreign direct investment (FDI). Second, the paper investigates the impact of the global financial crisis on the patterns of FDI to and from this region.
On the relationship between FDI and crises, the literature on inward FDI postulates the well-known "fire-sale" phenomenon: paradoxically, FDI inflows may increase even while there has been short-term capital flight. The explanation is that the two flows are driven by different determinants- the latter is in response to a perceived increase in short-term risk profiles, while the former, which pursues a longer-term motive, is attracted by the asset-cheapening effects of a crisis (through lower prices in domestic currency terms and a depreciating exchange rate) as well as a frequent by-product of a crisis, a more liberal FDI regime. This response was documented at the time of the Asian financial crisis in 1997-1998, except in countries that experienced both deep economic and political crisis, such as Indonesia.
The analytics and empirical realities are less clear in the case of outward FDI and a generalized global crisis in 2008-2009. As with trade flows, FDI flows are likely to contract for similar reasons, namely, there are fewer attractive commercial opportunities, there is an increase in risk, finance is more difficult to secure, and global production networks may shrink. Nevertheless, even crises of much deeper magnitude do present opportunities for lightly indebted companies attracted by greatly cheapened asset prices. This was evident at the early stages of the current crisis, when companies from high-saving Asian nations such as the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Singapore acquired major international assets in the financial and other sectors.
Most of the literature on FDI has focused on inward flows. These are better monitored and measured; there is a clearer analytical framework guiding discussion of the pros and cons of these flows. They have aroused greater public discussion, especially concerning the "North-South" dimensions, and there is a clear analytical connection between trade and investment liberalization and the rise of global production networks. Outward FDI is, of course, the flip side of inward FDI. It has been less studied, partly because the database is less comprehensive (especially in an era of open capital accounts), less subject to regulatory scrutiny, and less contentious politically. But it is no less important as a field of study, for at least four reasons.
First, there are large inter-country differences in outward FDI on the basis of stock and flow. Just as differences in inward FDI are studied for what they reveal about a country's openness and international commercial engagement, so too is outward FDI worthy of examination. …

Great Zinc

I do not know of a zinc Picolinate product that you can purchase over the counter in Australia but if you're taking zinc you should be getting off the chelated stuff and onto this more absorbable form. This is the brand my own nutritional medicine specialist prescribes for me however she charges twice as much!
Great Product

My doctor suggested that i get a blood test for cooper and zinc levels. My Zinc levels were Half of what they should have been and my copper levels were double of what they should have been. Since taking zinc picolinate, I have noticed that my receding hairline is growing back and my hair is thicker. Zinc is also important for gut permeability and health. If I have stomach discomfort I combine zinc, a probiotic and L glutamine to reduce or even stop the symptoms.

This big bottle is better value for money than the metabolic maintenance I used to use. No nasty fillers- works very well for my daughter who needs zinc for her mood. Capsules not too big - I just wish it was higher dose for their 'double strength' - one is not enough much of the time.

I have to take Zinc and B6 daily and this zinc is great quality. I don't always need a double dose though so I alternate with this product, the zinc picolinate (15mg) and the Pic Min which are both great as well. I highly recommend Thorne as they don't use the expidients in their capsules like magnesium stereate which are toxic to the liver. This is a very good size and price for a double dose of zinc. Too bad the single dose only comes in a 60 capsule.

California teachers vs. traditional marriage
Last week, I noted the public school propaganda war on traditional marriage — in the form of a first-grader field trip to a wedding of two lesbian teachers opposed to Proposition 8. That's the ballot measure to protect marriage.
CTA, the far Left teachers' union in California, has now donated $1 million to defeat the proposition. I noted their first $250,000 installment for the same-sex marriage lobby in August.
It's all for the children, of course:
California's largest teacher's union has given another $1 million to defeat a Nov. 4 ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in the state.
The contribution recorded Tuesday makes the California Teachers Association the largest institutional donor to the No on 8 campaign. CTA also gave $250,000 in August to Equality for All, a coalition of gay advocacy and civil rights groups opposing Proposition 8.
Union spokeswoman Sandra Jackson says CTA's 800-member policy body voted overwhelmingly to oppose the gay marriage ban. Jackson says the issue concerns educators because "teachers teach the importance of equal rights for all."
She says CTA leaders made the second contribution this week because the No campaign seems to be struggling.
Reader Beckie is a teacher in Cali and she's sick to her stomach:
I just wanted to thank you for your website. I went home sick to my stomach today when I realized that CTA had donated 1 million dollars to 'No on Prop. 8.' CTA clearly does not see in the long run that they are perhaps cutting their own throats as parents flock to private schools or begin home schooling as parents realize that they do not want radical ideas dictated to their children.
I am a conservative elementary school teacher living in the Bay Area. (Lion's Den) I bravely had a Bush bumper sticker on my car last election but this election, I felt that anything conservative message on my vehicle might mean my car being vandalized. (by the other teachers) I don't think I am the only conservative CTA member and I would love to find a forum that our voice can be heard without threat of losing our standing in our school districts.
Again, I appreciate your viewpoint and I'm bookmarking your website right now.

FACT published their 50 Best Albums of 2015 list and as always, it's one of the more unique lists of the year. It's loaded with high-quality electronic music, rap, R&B, indie, pop, and more, and you're almost guaranteed to find something on it you haven't heard of. It ranges from the Simon Cowell-assembled girl group Fifth Harmony to the underground New York rapper Junglepussy, and includes plenty of the in-between. Kendrick Lamar and Grimes are here, but they come in at the mere #3 and #5, respectively. Their #1 is a very unexpected pick, but a great album nonetheless (and one that does deserve some more love).
"Excuse the positivity, but was something in the water this year? 2015 felt like the best year for albums in a while," their intro begins. Read what else FACT have to say here and check out the whole list below...
TIny Mix Tapes posted their Favorite 50 Music Releases of 2015 list today. Like last year, it's certainly a good list for anyone who's tired of seeing the same artists on every list (though it does have Kendrick Lamar, Sufjan Stevens, Future, Bjork, Drake, Joanna Newsom, Carly Rae Jepsen, Grimes and other popular picks). It's the first list I've seen with the Liturgy album, and certainly the only one that has James Ferraro in the top 3. It's also one of just a few with avant-jazz great Matana Roberts and one of few with Grouper's band Helen. It also has Sicko Mobb, who just hours ago put out a new song with Jeremih.
There's a lot of interesting stuff on the list. Read their commentary and intro here and check out the top 50 below...

You saw their songs and their honorable mentions, and now Pitchfork's Top 50 Albums of 2015 list is here. Like with the song list, "records released this year and records that made their greatest impact in 2015 were eligible," which allows for things like D'Angelo's late 2014 release.
As usual, you can't just guess what the list is going to be by looking at what got Best New Music this year. Some of those albums became honorable mentions, and some were left off the year-end lists entirely (like Baroness, Nao, and Aphex Twin). The scores don't necessarily dictate it either. Deafheaven was one of a few albums to get a 9.0 or higher, but it dropped to #26 while the others all cracked the top 10. And then there's Carly Rae Jepsen, whose hype Pitchfork seemed to react against by giving her a less-than positive review, but they ended up throwing her on their year-end list just like everybody else. What should surprise no one though, is their #1 pick.
You can read their commentary here and check out the full list below...
Like last year, The FADER have listed their favorite tracks of the year. They picked 107, "because 100 just wasn't enough." It's got two Drake songs in the top 10, and a Skepta song cracks it too (grime in general is pretty well-represented). A certain former bubblegum pop singer who's becoming a popular choice for #1 is #1 here too. Mixed into the mostly rap/R&B/electronic pop list is Adele, some country representation from Chris Stapleton and Kacey Musgraves, lo-fi DIY from Sheer Mag and Girlpool, and a few other outliers. Check out the whole list, and a Spotify playlist of it, below.

If you're sick of seeing the same names atop every publication's year-end list, you can always count on The Quietus to deliver something almost completely different. While their Top 100 Albums of 2015 does contain Kendrick Lamar, Sufjan Stevens, Julia Holter, Kurt Vile and a few other popular choices, none of them cracked The Quietus' top 20. What is their #1? Experimental footwork producer Jlin's Dark Energy which came out in March via Planet Mu. At #2 it's Polish drone/folk artist Stara Rzeka's Zamknęły się oczy ziemi. There are a few others in the Top 10 you may have heard -- Oneohtrix Point Never's Garden Of Delete, Holly Herndon's Platform, East India Youth's Culture of Volume, Matana Roberts' Coin Coin Chapter 3, and New Order's Music Complete.
Whether you see this as made by a bunch of contrarians or forward-thinkers, chances are there's something here you may not have heard but might really like. The Quietus' page includes bandcamp or soundcloud links where available, and you can browse through their entire Top 100 Albums of 2015 list below
NYC electronic musician Arca follows last year's debut album Xen today with Mutant, out on Mute (and featured on Rough Trade's top albums of the year). To celebrate the relase, he out put a brand new video for the song "Front Load," which is directed by frequent collaborator Jesse Kanda and not even a little bit safe for work (it's mostly closeups of genitals), so approach with caution. (Update: YouTube removed the video "as a violation of [their] policy on nudity or sexual content" but it's up now on Vimeo.)
Arca will be DJing at Williamsburg club Output on December 3 with Total Freedom and Shayne. Tickets are on sale now. It's his only upcoming date at the moment.
Earlier today, Arca collaborator FKA twigs was announced as part of the Tibet House benefit concert.
Check out the video and a Spotify stream of Mutant below...

Arca initially came from NYC's forward-thinking underground electronic scene, but his profile has significantly risen thanks to collaborations with Kanye West, Bjork and FKA twigs, and his recent solo album on Mute. Tonight's show is sold out.
There's also an afterparty at Elvis Guesthouse with Arca, Dutch E Germ, Ian Isiah, Sadaf (DJ) and a special guest.
Jose Gonzalez, Olaf Arnalds @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
We've gotten a lot of great hushed, bare-bones folk albums in 2015, and Jose Gonzalez's new one, Vestiges & Claws (his first solo album since 2007), is no exception to this. Tonight's his first of two sold-out NYC shows on his tour with Icelandic folk singer Olof Arnalds.
The Sonics, Barrence Whitfield and the Savages @ Irving Plaza
Seattle garage punk progenitors The Sonics just released their first new album in almost 50 years and has them pretty much picking up where they left off. They play Asbury Park tomorrow.
Big Terrific @ Cameo Gallery
This long-running free comedy series, hosted by soon-to-be Bravo cooking competition host Max Silvestri, is coming to an end at the end of the month, so don't be surprised if there are extra special guests at the remaining shows.
Nothing Changes w/ Cervello Elettronico, Theologian @ Home Sweet Home
Tonight's edition of goth/industrial/darkwave/etc party Nothing Changes features live sets from Californian industro-IDM producer Cervello Elettronico, and NYC power electronics outfit Theologian. Expect late late times, high volume and lots of smoke machines.
Empire Records 20th anniversary celebration (aka Rex Manning Day) @ Rough Trade
For the 20th anniversary of beloved '90s movie Empire Records, Williamsburg record store/music venue Rough Trade NYC will turn into the Empire Records store from the movie for three days (this being the first). It's an immersive experience, which includes a Rex Manning autograph, a head-shaving station, a live band and DJ each night (tonight it's ARMS and ADVENTURE[s], respectively), a screening of the film, and more. And perhaps most excitingly, GWAR (who make a cameo in the film) will appear at all three nights. All are sold out.
Fletcher C. Johnson, Divers, Big Eyes, Friend @ Palisades
It's a good show all around with two garage rockers, the Burger-signed Fletcher C Johnson and Portland, OR's Divers, and indie-punks Big Eyes.
Rioux, Dadas @ Union Pool
Brooklyn producer Erin Rioux will release his new EP, 'Evolver,' next month. If you dig Caribou, and other live band electronic acts, Rioux are worth investigating.
Gesaffelstein (DJ Set), Flat White @ Output
Arca's not the only Yeezus contributor in NYC tonight. French producer Gesaffelstein is also hear to DJ Output. Tickets at door.
Chet Faker, XXYYXX @ Terminal 5
Chet Faker headlines this show, and if you're going we recommend showing up for XXYYXX too. It's the final night of three, and sold out.
Greg Barris, Bridey Elliot, Mike Pomranz @ Union Hall
This is a premiere party for Greg Barris' new comedy web series Roommates but will include live performances as well.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

Bjork @ Carnegie Hall 3/7/2015 (via @pauldryden)
The matinee performance was preceded by a week of poor press reviews for the Björk career retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art, which opens on Sunday (Mar. 8). But any critics disappointed by the MoMA exhibit were certainly not voicing that dissatisfaction during Saturday's performance, in which Björk was greeted by rapturous applause at nearly every interval and an extended standing ovation when her set concluded. Backed by percussionist Manu Delago, electronics whiz Arca (who worked closely with Björk on Vulnicura) and a 15-chair string orchestra called Alarm Will Sound, Björk re-opened her personal wounds on a cold afternoon, and traded in the expansiveness of her Biophilia stage setup for something much more raw but no less distinctive. [Billboard]The first of Bjork's seven sold-out NYC shows happened on Saturday (3/7) at Carnegie Hall, one day before her MoMA retrospective opened to the public. The noon matinee also featured her Vulnicura collaborator Arca, percussionist Manu Delago and 15-piece chamber ensemble Alarm Will Sound. Her set was divided into two sections, with intermission, and then a two song encore. Setlist and video from the show are below.
She'll perform another Carnegie Hall matinee this Saturday (3/14), followed by two Kings Theatre shows (both on 3/22) and three City Center shows (3/25, 3/28 and 4/1). Again, all of those are sold out, but she also plays Governors Ball, which is not sold out.
In other news, Bjork just released the video for Vulnicura track "Lionsong." It's a collaboration between Björk, Inez & Vinoodh and visual effects production house Framestore:
Framestore created a number of visual effects, including the stars and the glowing embers that surround Björk, as well as enhancing the video's other-worldliness by extending her legs to unnatural proportions. The exquisite coloring for the piece was done by Tim Masick of Company 3, turning her into the exotic, red-toothed, bronze dancer.Watch the "Lionsong" video below...

Kelela / Ezra Koenig / party people @ MoMA's Armory Party 3/4/2015
Wednesday night (3/4) was the annual Armory Party benefit at MoMA, a glizty gala celebrating Armory Arts Week here in NYC with champagne, fancy h'or deurves, open bar, people dressed to the nines (and beyond), and a live performance by Kelela. The forward-thinking R&B singer had a little problem with feedback at the start of the show which she solved by jumping offstage and into the audience. The sound guys soon got things fixed and had her back on stage. Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Alex Taylor of Hot Chip, E*Vax of Ratatat and DJ Business Class spun tunes at various points throughout the evening. Pictures from the night are in this post.
The Armory Show modern art fair happens at Piers 92 & 94 in Manhattan through Sunday (3/8). Sunday is also the opening of the highly anticipated Bjork retrospective at MoMA that has gotten mixed early reviews. The night before the Armory Party benefit, MoMA had an opening party for the Bjork exhibit that featured a DJ set with Vulnicura (and Kelela) collaborator Arca. Anybody go to that?
More pics from the 2015 Armory Party, below...

R&B boundary-pusher Kelela is releasing the Hallucinogen EP on May 5 via Fade to Mind ahead of the release of proper debut LP, due some time this fall. First single "A Message" was co-written with Arca, and you can watch its video (dir. Daniel Sannwald) below.
Kelela will also perform at the MoMA Armory Party benefit (3/4) happening this week with DJ Alexis Taylor, DJ Ezra Koenig and more. Updated list of her dates, below.
Arca, who's also worked with Bjork, Kanye West, and FKA twigs, and is a solo artist on Mute, has announced a hometown show with past visual collaborator Jesse Kanda for April 8 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets go on sale Friday (3/6) at noon.

Bjork co-curated Tri Angle Records' Rinse FM show (listen); tickets on sale for her Kings Theatre shows
As mentioned, Bjork had to make some chances to her upcoming NYC run. Her April 4 show was cancelled, and in its place she added shows for March 18 (8 PM) and March 22 (3 PM) at Kings Theater. Tickets for those shows go on sale today at noon. Her other dates are sold out.
She also plays day 2 of Governors Ball, and single-day tickets for that go on sale at noon today as well.
Earlier this week, Bjork co-curated Tri Angle Records' Rinse FM show (the label that her new collaborator Haxan Cloak is signed to) with label head Robin Carolan. The broadcast included a new mix from Holy Other, an exclusive remix of Bjork's "NotGet" by Lotic, and an exclusive remix of Rabit's "Straps" by her other new collaborator, Arca. Listen to the full show, with the tracklist, below.
Continue reading "Bjork co-curated Tri Angle Records' Rinse FM show (listen); tickets on sale for her Kings Theatre shows"
As you may know, Bjork's new album Vulnicura leaked over the weekend, and now -- perhaps as a response to that -- it's officially out digitally. You can download a copy on iTunes via One Little Indian. The physical copies are still due in March. As mentioned, it features collaborations with Arca, The Haxan Cloak and Antony.
Bjork also announced six NYC shows happening ahead of her Governors Ball appearance. They went on presale yesterday (1/19) and the general on-sale begins at 11 AM on Friday (1/23).
In related news, Arca put out a new piece called Sheep that he originally performed for a Hood By Air show in Italy. Listen to that, with the Bjork album tracklist, below...
Continue reading "Bjork's new album 'Vulnicura' ft. Arca, The Haxan Cloak and Antony is out now"
Björk's new album, Vulnicura, will be out in March. Though it's rare that an announced festival headliner announces more shows in the same town before the festival happens, it turns out she's actually playing SIX NYC shows before Governors Ball. Around the album's release (and during the same time as her MoMA retrospective), our favorite Icelandic artist will play at Carnegie Hall on March 7 & 14 (both noon matinees), and at City Center on March 25 (8 PM) and March 28 (noon matinee) and April 1 (8 PM) and April 4 (noon matinee). Tickets for Carnegie Hall and City Center will go on sale Friday, January 23 at 11 AM with a fan presale starting Monday (1/19) 11 AM.
Bjork tweeted that Arca, who contributed heavily to her new album, will join her at the matinee shows.
All dates, including Governors Ball, are listed below...

We already knew Bjork was working with Arca and The Haxan Cloak on her new album, and now she's officially announced the LP. It's called Vulnicura, and the songs are called "Stonemilker", "Lionsong", "History of Touches", "Black Lake", "Family", "Notget", "Atom Dance", "Mouth Mantra", and "Quicksand." Here's more details:
6 songs written by björk, 2 songs co-written with arca, 1 with john flynnBjork has a retrospective at MoMA running from March 7 (the month the album comes out) through June 7 (the weekend she plays NYC's Governors Ball).

Bjork working w/ Haxan Cloak & Arca on new album, playing Governors Ball same weekend MoMA thing ends
Unless she adds another show (which seems unlikely due to the way radius clauses work), the next time Bjork plays NYC she'll be joined by an amazing list of openers that include SBTRKT, Sharon Van Etten, Flying Lotus, Little Dragon, Hot Chip and Future Islands. Or at least that's one way to look at Governors Ball this year. The Bjork-included lineup was announced earlier today.
I'm already wondering what Bjork will pull out for that show.The 2011-2014 era of 'Biophilia' is over, not counting any theaters that are still showing the movie she made from it. And a new album has already been promised for 2015.
It seems likely that Governors Ball will in fact be getting a taste of that new album which electronic artists and producers Arca (Kanye West, FKA Twigs) and Haxan Cloak have both been revealed as collaborators for (Haxan Cloak is also producing the new HEALTH record). In fact, the timing is perfect. We don't know what day Bjork plays Governors Ball, but the fest runs from June 5-7. June 7th is also the day that the Bjork retrospective at MoMA ends (it opens March 7th). The retrospective chronicles her career from Debut to Biophilia. What better way to get us caught up before the next chapter which can begin right then? I'm getting excited for a very Bjork 2015.
Stay tuned for more details on Bjork's new album, and hopefully many more tour dates to be announced too.
Meanwhile, check out Arca's 2014 video for "Thievery" (NSFW), off his highly-acclaimed, Mute-released debut LP Xen, below...

Tiny Mix Tapes posted their Favorite 50 Music Releases of 2014, and as TMT lists usually are, it's a pretty eccentric one with a lot of stuff that wasn't making everyone's list this year. Sure you've got Grouper, Andy Stott, Sun Kil Moon, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, Arca, Pharmakon, Perfume Genius, Ariel Pink, Swans and FKA twigs, but you've also got Ninos Du Brasil, Gem Jones, James Ferraro, Call Super, C L E A N E R S, Kevin Drumm & Jason Lescalleet and more.

First tracks, then honorable mentions, and now Pitchfork has put out their Top 50 Albums of 2014. There's nothing entirely out of left field, but there's definitely some surprises here. Taylor Swift, whose album was not reviewed at all (I guess it was a pretty obscure one), comes in at #31 with her album, 1989. Sun Kil Moon, which was the only 2014 album in their Top 10 Albums of the Decade So Far this past August (and seemed like a sure bet for #1) dropped down to #7 and was beaten out by his enemies The War on Drugs. TWOD actually came in at #3 themselves, and the two ahead of them are two you may not have seen coming.
We already knew that Pallbearer, the only Best New Music metal album of 2014, was an honorable mention, which unsurprisingly left zero metal albums on this list. No other BNM album got snubbed (save for a Hyperdub compilation and the Beyonce album, but that was probably because it was technically a 2013 release), and there's not really any glaring omissions in terms of what Pitchfork appeared to champion this year.
See the list for yourself below...
Pitchfork have begun rolling out their year-end coverage, and today they posted their Top 100 Tracks of 2014. Like every year, it's a very diverse list, with songs from Taylor Swift, The New Pornographers, iLoveMakonnen, Protomartyr, Cloud Nothings, Rae Sreummurd, Makthaverskan, Ty Segall, Parquet Courts, Azealia Banks, White Lung, Perfect Pussy, Dej Loaf, Migos, Alvvays, Against Me!, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, Bobby Shmurda, Charli XCX, Grouper, Beyonce, Perfume Genius, Shamir, Michael Jackson, Tinashe and more. And their #1 seems to be the most ubiquitous #1 of 2014.
Check out the full list below...
The FADER always has some year-end coverage, but for the past 15 years they didn't publish a ranked year-end list. This year however, they ranked their 116 favorite songs of 2014 (find out why) and it's a diverse list that manages to sing the praises of iLoveMakonnen, Tinashe, Alex G, Florida Georgia Line, Enrique Iglesias, Bleachers, Ricky Eat Acid, YG, Toni Braxton & Babyface, Nothing, Grimes, Parquet Courts, Run the Jewels and Grouper all in the same damn list.

Rough Trade NYC on Record Store Day 2014 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As they usually are, Rough Trade Shops are one of the first this year to post their favorite albums of 2014 list. It's 100 albums long and mostly filled with the bigger indie and indie-related releases of the year, but there's a few surprises in there too. Mark Kozelek will not be happy to see that The War On Drugs placed #2, 8 higher than the Sun Kil Moon record. Mark should be proud that he made the list not once, but TWICE though. His Christmas album landed at #84. Run the Jewels, who are not on it all, have started a "Suck My Dick Rough Trade" chant. Check out their full list below and see more on each album here.
Meanwhile, Rough Trade the NYC venue is open this weekend with Sallie Ford / Crooked Fingers tonight, followed by two shows from The Dream Syndicate.

Electronic musician Arca has come a long way since his days on the UNO NYC label. He's since contributed production to Yeezus and FKA twigs' EP2 and LP1, and now he's signed to Mute (who also just snagged Zola Jesus and New Order) for his debut album, Xen, due out November 4. It follows last year's excellent &&&&& mixtape.
The first single, "Thievery" is out now. Stream it, with the possibly NSFW artwork, tracklist and list of tour dates (none in NYC), below...

Loki vs. Luna by ReiDuranWatch
©2013-2016 ReiDuran
What's Loki's Cutie Mark?
I guess three snowflakes, because if i'm correct in the thor movie it's reviled (spoilers) loki's a frost giant
Those horns...are nowhere near big enough for a man of Loki's stature.
Bet Loki pony I've ever seen.
oh mah gawd~! LOKI!!!!!
lokis totally badass love the helmet
Actually, the way the board is rotated, it's not a match between Luna and Loki, it's a match between Spitfire and the viewer. (White on right)
Either way it's a stalemate. Knight/King can't checkmate.
Either way it's a stalemate. Knight/King can't checkmate.
I remember this story, and this scene, well done.
"A tale of two worlds"
Lemme guess the crossover:
Lemme guess the crossover:
Nope. The Avengers x MLP.
Read the story, it's really good.
Read the story, it's really good.
By the look of this art, is appears so! I know I've seen Thor, so I know Loki as well.
*changes the rules of chess so Loki can win* there that's better
dude chill out for a second
Faving this entirely because that is an awesome Loki. XP
Great pic, I like Loki's design!
why is he even thinking about his next move? he literally has nothing he can do.
Exactly the kind of situation that calls for careful outside-the-box thinking. He could attempt to use illusions to convince Luna that he won. He could summon an alien invasion to disrupt the game. He could angrily flip the chessboard and stomp away.
I hate it when my games get this way.
I find Spitfire's expression there hysterical. "I have no idea what's going on, so I'mma just drink my beer!"
- Polecat
- Polecat
It is probably due to the fact that I have read the story that this picture is from, but I think that Spitfire knows exactly what is going on.
Awesome work.
Ooooh, I like.
I feel the need to say that Loki hasn't actually lost this game yet. It is actually really hard to put a person into checkmate with just a knight and a king. Upon further thinking, I'm pretty sure it's impossible. At best, Luna can force the game into a draw. And before I get flamed, I feel the need to point out that I have nothing against Luna, I just want the sport of chess to be properly portrayed.
However, Loki is not in a good situation.
However, Loki is not in a good situation.
I concur with your statement on Loki's position. It is impossible for this game to have a winner. King/Knight and King/Bishop are the only two piece endgames that resolve without a victor regardless of how they are played.
As the writer of the story, I can attest that I have no real chess knowledge and neither does Rei. These positions are just from my google search of "Chess, cornered king".
They are a cute pair! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
Yea Loki give up she has you beat
My favourite villain hanging out with one of my favourite ponies? I approve.
yay luna!!!

Hill Academy defends practice of 'borrowing' players
Hill Academy came up short fielding a girls' volleyball team. So they borrowed players from other clubs and schools to enter tournaments.
Share via Email
Some people believe Hill Academy may be taking the short road to glory.
A four-year-old private school for Grades 8 to 12 located in Vaughan with only 85 students, the school came up short fielding a girls' volleyball team.
So they borrowed players from other clubs and schools to enter tournaments.
Two weeks ago, the Pride — the school nickname — won a tournament in Vaughan. And this weekend they'll play in the Victory Invitational in Mississauga, albeit this time they have chosen not to compete in the championship round.
A number of high school and club coaches who contacted The Star believe that using players, especially those already on other teams, is unethical and could also raise questions about eligibility and might even be a violation of playing regulations in school leagues.
Hill athletic director Patrick Merrill is angry people are pointing fingers and accusing his school of wrongdoing.
"We borrowed two players to fill out our roster. The conveners of the tournaments say it happens all the time," said Merrill.
"This isn't about stacking our roster, but giving girls an opportunity to participate, learn and have fun. We're an independent school for dedicated athletes and preach integrity, honour and respect."
Merrill said his school, which places a heavy emphasis on athletics, does not compete in any school leagues or even challenge for the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association playoffs.
The two players, both considered better than average, play for school teams at Courtice High and J. Clarke Richardson in Ajax. Both teams also compete in the Lake Ontario Secondary Schools Association league. One is a 6-foot-3 power hitter; the other is a right-side hitter.
Dustin Reid, who coaches the Hill team when he's not involved in similar responsibilities with the Ryerson University women's team, said he's never had a complaint from an opposing coach, player or parent.
Both players, he said, also discussed competing for Hill with their school coaches.
"This is all about furthering volleyball goals of athletes and training them in ways they are not able to get in schools or clubs," said Reid, a former technical director with the Ontario Volleyball Association.
"We've entered the tournaments as club teams and have been upfront. We're not interested in OFSAA or other school leagues."

The Bird Box LbNA # 27449
|two tribes
|Placed Date
|Nov 25 2006
|chincoteague, VA
This box is hidden in Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
You can approach the box from 2 different directions, depending on the length of hike you would like to take.
We just refurbished this box 11/28/10
Park in the Wildlife Loop parking lot and follow the wildlife loop conterclockwise for a medium hike, clockwise for a long hike- until you reach the entrance to the Black Duck Trail follow away from the wildlife loop
Park on Beach Road at the Black Duck Trail. Walk towards the woods and the Wildlife Loop.
Along this path you will see a bench dedicated to someone who died at age 24.
Next to this bench is a pine needle path into the woods, follow this path for a lot of paces, if you are 5 ft 10, it should be 142 paces, our 11 year old found it 166 paces, our 9 year old took 189 paces.
You should now see a bird box with the number 108 on it- the rangers told me this is a wood duck box and they nest in march and april, so please be especially respectful of the box during these months.
The wood ducks in side the box have an excellent view out their window of a large pine tree in front & to the left. Look behind tree for letterbox hidden under pine, bark & sticks.

Sacred Sandalwood: This Ayurvedic Herb is the Epitome of Excellence
Q: Where does Sandalwood come from?
A: Sandalwood comes from the Sandal Tree, known scientifically as Santalaceae Santalum Album and in Sanskrit as chandana. In English it is called White Sandalwood or Yellow Sandalwood depending on the age of the tree. An evergreen tree that grows only in the southern areas of India, Indonesia and somewhat in Australia, it grows to a medium height of 30 feet. After 15-20 years the oil collects in the heartwood, or the center of the trunk, but as the scent of sandalwood grows stronger, the color of the wood becomes more yellow. The value of the wood climbs higher the older the tree. It is considered at its peak at 60 years old.
When harvested the heartwood is ground into powder and then steam-distilled into oil for use in cosmetics, soaps, candles, medicines and perfumes. The hard, yellow, outer wood is mostly used for carving statues and decorative articles such as combs, beads and boxes.
Q: Why is the Sandal tree so important to the Vedic tradition?
A: The Sandal tree is highly regarded in the Vedic texts, and the heartwood is considered to be sacred. It is said that chandana, or Indra's Sandalwood tree, scents the whole of paradise with its fragrance. Sandalwood is considered the epitome of excellence, imparting fragrance even to the axe that cuts it. For this reason anything that is excellent is referred to as chandana. It is used in sacred ceremonies and to purify holy places.
Q: What are the medicinal uses of Sandalwood oil or powder?
A: When used externally, Sandalwood oil or Sandalwood paste (made from mixing water with Sandalwood powder) has a calming, cooling effect on body and mind. It helps relieve fever and burns, and stops excessive sweating. In general it relieves Pitta dosha and helps balance the body after overexposure to the sun. The oil or the paste can help heal skin diseases such as infectious sores, ulcers, acne and rashes. Sandalwood powder helps smooth and cool the skin, and can be made into a paste, lotion or soap for cleansing, calming and hydrating sensitive or aging skin. Sandalwood acts as a disinfectant, diuretic, expectorant and sedative. It is bitter, sweet, astringent and cooling. Sandalwood balances the circulatory, digestive, respiratory and nervous systems.
Q: What is the effect of Sandalwood in aromas or incense?
A: Sandalwood incense is made from rolling the paste of the sapwood on bamboo skewers by hand. The scent of Sandalwood essential oil or Sandalwood incense clarifies the mind and helps to awaken intelligence, and is often used as an aid for meditation. It calms the mind, soothes stress and nervous tension, and uplifts the mood. It is said to enliven courage, purpose, strength and happiness.
Q: Sandalwood is reportedly on the endangered list of trees in India. What are the challenges involved in obtaining good sandalwood?
A: The Sultan of Mysore declared Sandalwood to be a royal tree in 1792. Every Sandalwood tree is still under the protection and ownership of the Indian government today, even when grown on private land. The individual who owns the land receives 75% of the proceeds in return for planting and protecting the tree until it reaches maturity. Due to an increased demand in medicines, perfumes and cosmetics that contain Sandalwood oil, and due to the decreased availability as smugglers cut down trees and export them illegally, prices have skyrocketed in recent years. At this time it is illegal to export the wood from India, although the oil can be exported.
Q: What Maharishi Ayurveda products contain Sandalwood?
A: The essential oil of Sandalwood is an ingredient in the Vetiver Herbal Soap, where it is combined with the essential oils of Palm Kernel and Vetiver to repair dry, damaged complexion and restore health and luster to aging skin. The essential oil of Sandalwood is part of several herbal formulas, including Smooth Cycle, Maharishi Amrit Kalash Nectar and Prostate Protection.
Q: What about Red Sandalwood? Is it the same thing?
A: Red Sandalwood comes from an entirely different species (Pterocarpus Santalinus), related to the legume family, and grows in the Caribbean and Indonesia as well as India. It is used to balance digestion and skin health, and also helps balance purification through the sweat glands and skin. It is found in Healthy Hair & Nails, Elim-Tox, Radiant Skin, and Vital Lady. Red Sandalwood also is used as a dye, as incense, and as a decorative powder in sacred ceremonies.

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 ½ pounds flank steak
For the filling:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1 small red onion, diced
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and finely sliced
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1. In a large bowl, mix together the lime juice, tequila, salt, black pepper and garlic. Set aside.
2. On a work surface, cover the flank steak with plastic wrap. Pound it with a skillet to flatten it into an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Add the steak to the marinade, turn to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the red pepper, onion, scallions and jalapeño. Saute until the peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly colored, about another 30 seconds.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, corn, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper. Let cool completely.
5. Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
6. Remove the steak from the marinade. (Discard any unused marinade.) Arrange steak flat on a washable work surface. Spread the cooled pepper mixture evenly over the steak. Starting with a wide edge, roll the steak and stuffing up together.
7. Use 7 lengths of kitchen twine to tie the roll firmly around the center at even intervals.
8. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high. Add the steak roll and sear until browned on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the steak until it reaches 130 degrees at the center. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into 8 rounds and serving.
