Curing Chromophobia
"The famously chromophobic Chelsea got a shock of color on Thursday night,' notes The New York Times in its review of a new show curated by Peter Stamberg BArch 72 and Paul Aferiat, partners in life and in the Manhattan-based firm Stamberg Aferiat + Associates.
Invited to design and organize the exhibition Art on Color, which opened on June 5 at Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl Gallery, the architects chose a vibrant backdrop of oranges, yellows and greens for works drawn from the gallery's collection. The show presents pieces that pop by giants of the art world such as John Baldessari, Ann Hamilton, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Man Ray, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist,Joel Shapiro and more.
Stamberg and Aferiat both credit their friend David Hockney for inspiring their signature feel for color, which they use to great effect in their own homes (see pages 34–39 in this issue of RISD XYZ) and their work for clients. "He pointed out to us that when you look at art on a white wall the first thing you see is the frame, but when you look at art on a wall with color, the first thing you see is the art," Stamberg explained at the opening, where he looked at home in a fluorescent orange jacket and his partner sported pink seersucker.
Alumni Work at Great New Gallery
Toy Car (oil on linen, 8x10") by Frank Gardner 86 PT
Rhode Island art lovers are invited to the grand opening of Fine Art at Chapel View in Cranston tomorrow (Saturday, May 10) from 5–9 pm. The gallery is co-owned by RISD alum Mark Goodkin 87 PT, who will be showing his pastels and paintings along with work by dozens of other artists, including many fellow alumni.
Goodkin describes the new space as "an artist-run gallery to promote artists" and has pledged to donate 10% of sales to a different charity each month. These are just a few of the many great pieces on view in the inaugural exhibition at the new gallery, which is at 4 Chapel View Blvd in Cranston, RI.

Theatrical Installation
Raked, a new site-specific installation by Sculpture Critic Jane South, opens at the Spencer Brownstone Gallery in NYC this Saturday, March 29, with a reception from 6–8 pm. The title of the piece references the theater term raked, which refers to a stage that is sloped down toward the audience to facilitate a clear view of the action. In South's theater, the stage is strewn with hand-cut paper sculptures that appear to be scattered haphazardly. Shadows cast by grates, cables and supports create mysterious patterns on the walls and floor of the installation.
Raked builds on Floor/Ceiling (shown above), a theater-inspired installation South exhibited last year at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Connecticut. "There is a strange, in-between sort of an experience unique to working in the theater," she explains. "This becomes weirdly concrete when you get to lurk behind the set … amid carpentry and coiled cables … while the play is going on. It exemplifies the delicious, eerie, expectant absurdity of it all – and the slippage that also occurs in life, between the world and the world of the imagination."
Floor/Ceiling detail (2013)
A selection of South's Escher-esque Flats drawings will be on view alongside Raked. The exhibition runs through the month of April.
Seller Show Counts Down
Wendy Seller: Visual Metaphors, New Paintings, a solo show of 18 new works by Assistant Professor Wendy Seller 75 AE, closes at RIC's Bannister Gallery tomorrow. So far it has gotten some good press in the Providence Journal and Art New England.
The Journal's art critic Bill Van Siclen writes:
Seller has a knack for mixing images drawn from the dusty vaults of art and architectural history with cutting-edge digital-imaging and photo-editing software. The results, which suggest a mash-up of Old Master painting and 21st-century technology – Michelangelo-meets-Macintosh – are weirdly fascinating but also a little disturbing.
Critic Alicia Faxon is equally impressed, noting:
Seller is a painter of the liminal, offering access to worlds present and past. She upsets our expectations and challenges our perceptions in traditional and digital methods and configurations.
See the show while you still can and let Seller know what you think. It closes tomorrow and the gallery is open from noon to 8 pm both today (though check for a possible snow closing – again! :) and tomorrow.
Cherubini in Chelsea
in and out of weeks, a new solo show of floor and wall-mounted sculpture by Nicole Cherubini 93 CR, opens this evening with a reception at Tracy Williams, Ltd. in New York.
Cherubini deftly combines glazed earthenware, terracotta and porcelain with pine, paint and MDF to create sculpture with fabulous form and inviting textures.
The show continues through October 26.
More Love for Sgouros
In this week's review of Tom Sgouros: Drawn to Paint, a retrospective of the late professor emeritus' work now at Woods-Gerry Gallery, The Providence Phoenix quotes several of Tom's friends and colleagues from RISD, including Professor Emeritus Malcolm Grear and author/illustrator Chris Van Allsburg MFA 75 SC.
The review also notes that thanks to the efforts of Illustration Department Head Robert Brinkerhoff, Director of Exhibitions Mark Moscone and gallery owner/artist's rep Cade Tompkins, the show itself is beautifully conceived and executed:
Sharply organized and handsomely installed…, the exhibition is a model of the kind of thorough, thoughtful attention it would be great to see more local artists get here.
Drawn to Paint continues at Woods-Gerry through September 26.
Trecartin Very Present in Venice
LA-based artist Ryan Trecartin 04 FAV has been attracting a lot of attention this summer for the Not Yet Titled video and sculptural installation he created for The Encyclopedic Palace, Massimiliano Gioni's massive undertaking at the 55th Venice Biennale.
"There is nothing else in today's art world even remotely like Ryan Trecartin's videos," Art in America notes in the preface to an interesting interview with the artist. The current installation in Venice is "a sci-fi theater of the absurd for our manically paced YouTube era – a singular vision created by Trecartin in collaboration with his creative partner, Lizzie Fitch."
Trecartin's significant presentation – marking the beginning of a new body of work and his most significant exhibition since his 2011 MoMA PS1 show Any Ever – takes up an entire room of the Arsenale and introduces the final curatorial section of The Encyclopedic Palace.
In discussing his work and process with Art in America, Trecartin notes that he has "always been very unnostalgic about history" and is now, more than ever, focused on the present.
"If you're making something for history or legacy or the ages, it's in vain," he says. "The only thing that matters to me at this moment is making things for the present – and the future. It's not about becoming a part of history. Timelessness is a romantic throwaway."
Trecartin's work is on view through November 24, when the entire Biennale wraps up in Venice.
Home Alone
In a summer show called Home Alone, R.C. Sayler MFA 10 SC is showing a collection of quirky objects at the Peoria Art Guild in Peoria, IL.
"When people hear the title Home Alone they automatically think of that movie," Sayler told the local newspaper. "But before the movie people were home alone…. If you are home alone, there are things you can do because nobody's watching. Your mind can play tricks on you. Your mind becomes more active. It's like that in a studio practice…."
"Artists are generally selective about what they make," Sayler also pointed out. But his approach to this particular exhibition was to "not to be so selective" and instead put a lot of disparate work out there "and see what the conversation becomes."
Home Alone continues through August 7 at the Peoria Art Guild.
Powerfully Fine Filigree
LEANING FIGURE (porcelain, rebar, air dry clay, epoxy, 48 x 36 x 36")
This month Rebecca Manson 11 CR is sharing an amazing body of work that has captured her imagination since graduation. Called Overview, her show runs through July 29 in Long Beach, CA.
"These porcelain works explore the power people have when they come together, however threatening that may be," Manson says in announcing the outcome of her two-year residency at California State/Long Beach, where the exhibition is on view.
BASSINET (porcelain, epoxy, plaster, wire, 60 x 26 x 30")
"Enigmatic and frighteningly original, Rebecca Mansion began her artistic journey with a simple question: 'Why do all the legs of a chair have to reach the ground?'" notes critic Jerry Adler. "Despite never being seen in daylight, she has emerged as a sculptor of the imagination, of nightmares refracted through humor, of figures stripped to sun-bleached filigrees of bones that lay bare the giggling monsters inside each of us."
Real MARTINE
Just a year after graduating Martín Gutierrez 12 PR is exhibiting an amazing body of work in Martin(e), a solo show opening this evening at Ryan Lee Gallery in Chelsea.
The exhibition features a collection of psychologically probing performance pieces, photography and video created during Gutierrez's last few months at RISD and over the last year from his home base in Vermont.
In his Real Dolls photographs, the artist assumes the roles of Ebony, Luxx, Mimi and Raquel, four doll personas he created and performed after researching the phenomenon of life-sized sex dolls.
Part of what makes the work especially compelling is that Gutierrez puts himself at the center of it all, questioning conventions about race, gender, class and sexuality while styling and shooting himself for the photographs and writing, directing, producing and creating his own music for his videos.
"Martín started the video series – called Martine – in a junior studio ," notes Associate Professor of FAV Daniel Peltz. "Since graduating he has been building on the Martine series and this work is now the primary focus of his first solo show – a pretty remarkable accomplishment."
"I think of my work as documentations of transformation and performance," Gutierrez says. "While gender is undoubtedly always a question in my work, I don't see it as a boundary."
His solo show continues through August 16 at Ryan Lee Gallery, 527 West 26th Street in NYC.
Pursuit of Freedom
The Nigger Huck Finn Pursues Happiness Beyond the Narrow Constraints of your Overdetermined Thesis on Freedom – Drawn and Quartered by Mister Kara Walkerberry, with Condolences to The Authors
With a title as prickly and unsettling as the imagery it represents, this installation by Kara Walker MFA 94 PT/PR went on view yesterday at Sikkema Jenkins & Co in New York, where it continues through May 22. It's the first time the 2010 piece – which has been shown in San Francisco and Torino, Italy – is being exhibited in NYC. The installation makes use of Walker's signature cut paper silhouettes, along with framed gouache and ink on paper pieces.


text: Eyebrow Lifter & Filler is rated 3.9 out of 5 by 220. Rated 5 out of 5 by Mia_ from My new favorite product. This pencil is great. It's amazing and I love it. Both sides are very creamy. The filler works well is you use a very light hand when applying. Now, forget about this being an eyebrow pencil. THIS MAKES THE BEST CONCEALER/ CONTOUR EVER. The ivory side blends in perfectly with my skin. I apply it under my eyes and my dark circles have never been so well concealed! The filler side, mine is in dark, can be used on the sides of the nose and under the cheek bones to contour. It blends like a dream. Everything comes out to a natural finish. My makeup for the last few days has looked incredible the last few days since I got this. In my next elf order, I will be getting more of these pencils<3 Versatile may not be enough to begin describing this product. Date published: 2014-06-02 Rated 4 out of 5 by Virginia from Looks great, not good for oily skin I was always used to filling in my brows with an ordinary pencil. I wanted to use a highlighter so I came across this product. It makes my eybrows look FLAWLESS! I get sooo many compliments on it. The downside is that, I have very oily skin. Because this pencil has a "waxy" substance to it, it will make your eyebrows VERY shiny and oily as the day goes on. I use the darkest color (I am of Asian decent and have dark eyebrows and medium tone skin) but you must use a good angled brow brush with it. Don't try to just draw them on! I wish ELF made just the highligher pencil and/or change the consistency so it doesn't make my brows so greasy!!! Date published: 2014-05-21 Rated 4 out of 5 by riotactress from Not perfect, but still the best I've found I really like this product. I'm Asian, so I have weird patchy eyebrows. I need to draw on a bit of eyebrow where there is not a single hair. This pencil (I have the darkest one) is very highly pigmented, and the pencil is nice and soft so it goes on very smoothly. I do apply with a small, dense brush. I can't imagine anyone successfully using this giant crayon by just drawing directly on their face. Because it's soft and smooth, it can smudge a bit over the day, but I have exceptionally oily skin, so most people won't have that problem. I don't really use the light end. I have, and it really does make my brows look more defined, but it's just not really the look I'm after. I'm happier with a swipe of highlighter up there. So, in a perfect world, it wouldn't move on my skin at all, but so far, I haven't found anything else that stays any better than this, so I suppose it's me and not the pencil. Date published: 2014-04-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by faramusa from my HG Eyebrow tool I used to over obsessess about my MAC Impeccable pencil in Taupe. Went through about 4 or 5 of those, until it got discontinued. My search got me to try this product in Medium (WOW, it's a DUPE). I also bought the eyebrow kit, but that takes time for me to get my eyebrows the way I want and I don't have time for that in the morning. This is perfect, like everyone has already said. it's Blendable, Perfect match, looks realistic, the highlighter is Amazing. Did I mention I love this thing ???? Date published: 2014-04-03 Rated 4 out of 5 by Cherrybomb2213 from Great color and value! I got this in my first order from E.L.F (it was a big one) and I really love this pencil! Very blendable and I use the highlight side for everything! The highlight is great on your lower lash line to make your eyes pop and seem bigger! I wouldn't say its comparable to my higher end pencil (Anastasia of Beverly Hills) but it is a perfect low cost option! The only cons are you have to use a really light hand when applying but it blends really well and the caps keep falling off both sides of the pencil so it gets smudged In my bag. Nothing I can't live with though! Date published: 2014-03-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by TanyaMarie from Woooow Words can not describe the love I have for this product. I have it in the darkest color it comes in. So perfect for those who prefer to pencil in thicker lashes. The product itself is so soft on the skin and ridiculously blendable. And the ivory end is so perfect for faking higher arches. Would not suggest if you lean more towards thin brows. Date published: 2014-03-14 Rated 3 out of 5 by SamiNicole94 from Use a VERY light hand If you use a light hand and lighten it will look pretty natural, but if not you look like a drag queen with cartoon brows. Date published: 2014-03-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by Bamconky from Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz drugstore dupe!!! I love this pencil!!!! I am so please to find such a close dupe to my brow wiz, for a fraction of the price! It's cool ashy tones are natural looking, as suppose to most brow products that are more warm reddish. The white side is perfect for under the brow bone, on the inner corner, the waterline and even the Cupid's bow Date published: 2014-02-22 Rated 1 out of 5 by fly2theskigh from makes your eyesbrows nasty i bought this during the 50% off site wide sale and was so excited for it. it just came in today and as i apply it on my eye brows it makes it looks like i have poop on my eyebrows. its kindda sticky and hard to work with! Date published: 2014-02-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by amadaangelina from BEST EYEBROW DEFINER AND FILLER EVER I bought this a couple weeks ago and the color of the filler is amazing, and the lifter part makes my eyebrows and the color and shape of my eyebrows pop its so amazing i suggest this to everyone! Date published: 2014-02-18 Rated 4 out of 5 by khiraline from Easy to use Easy to use and good pigmentation. Use a light hand when applying because otherwise it'll go on too dark. Also I use an eyebrow brush after applying to make it more natural. I'm very happy with this item overall and the lifter does a great job. I like that the color goes on easily, with that said it can be just as easy to smudge. I recommend "sealing" the color with some powder (foundation or translucent) for it to last all day. That's how I use it and I have very oily skin. Date published: 2014-02-07 Rated 3 out of 5 by lkhan from Not what I expected, but does hold up I bought one and I got one in my beauty bundle. I can say the highlight side I love very much. It goes on well and blends perfectly. The dark side I hate. It comes off in a sticky way, if I sweat a little bit or pass my hand over my eye brows it smears and rubs off. Its not that bad but its not what I'm used to. Once I am done with these I don't think Ill buy anymore. Date published: 2014-02-03 Rated 5 out of 5 by Latinamakeupjunkie from Best eyebrow filler yet! One of the best elf purchases I have made! I made the mistake of over plucking and waxing my brows for many years. They are quite sparse. I have used many brands of pencils, liquids, powders. By far this ie the easiest to use, creamy and long lasting. I apply it on my brows at 530 or 6am everyday. After my ten or twelve hour shift, my brows are still full. This product if amazing!!! Date published: 2014-02-02 Rated 2 out of 5 by KatieHolmes from Too Dark! I got this product in medium and it looked—and felt—really heavy! I have thick-ish brows and this brow pencil made them look huge and much too dark. This product is VERY heavy and if you're going for a natural look I wouldn't recommend it. Date published: 2014-01-24 Rated 4 out of 5 by Melly22 from So far so good I haven't master the technique of the perfect brow so please take into accountPros:the lightest one works best with my eyebrowEasy to apply Perfect for beginners ConsWaxy the pencil is very waxy and easily smudges When sharpening the pencil easily clogs the sharpener Overall I will continue using Date published: 2014-01-14 Rated 5 out of 5 by back2thefuschia from WONDERFUL My eyebrows are SUPER sparse and I've tried many different eyebrow filler pencils/shadows/etc. over the years from all price ranges, and this is by far the easiest to use, the most convenient because it has a sharpener and the lifter attached to it, and the most economically priced. Also, the shade I use (dark) matches perfectly with my hair color, as most other brands don't have a color that is this particular shade of brown! Good for beginners all the way to people who have been turning out fierce eyebrows for years. Date published: 2014-01-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelsey96 from Deff Beginner Friendly I don't really fill in my brows, but I dyed my hair brown and I have light eyebrows so I needed something that looked natural and was easy for a first-timer to use. It's great, the colors are universal, it all depends on how much you apply and how you blend it. The lifter is AMAZING. It's thick and creamy, it makes my eyebrows look on point! Love it. Date published: 2013-12-27 Rated 4 out of 5 by HeatherMarie from Great product I almost didn't give this a try because the second darkest shade was out of stock and I thought the lightest color would be too light, but it was inexpensive and since I recently went back to my natural hair color (blonde) I figured I'd give it a try, I am so glad I did. If I went with the medium dark color it would have been way too dark for both my skin tone (fair) and my hair color. I've seen people rave in reviews about the lift- it doesn't do much for me. The filler is very soft, takes a very light touch to get the shade right which is a very welcome change from some of the fillers I've used that dry out too fast and therefore require a harder push.It does wear off, but touch ups are easy and quick which makes it's size very convenient for travel. Date published: 2013-12-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by thadiva03 from Love it Sooo I have the eyebrow kit and I thought that was the end all be all...but this takes the cake! I love it and it gives me better control than the little brush in the eyebrow kit. Everyone keeps asking me if I just got my eyebrows done...and I havent ..its been weeks! Will buy again...when its back in stock. Date published: 2013-12-24 Rated 5 out of 5 by SarahS from The only brow pencil that works for me!! I shave my eyebrows off completely...for different reasons... I started doing it 6ish years ago but i HATE my real eyebrows. For years i have tried so many different brow pencils and they either dont give off enough product, color, they dont stay, dont go over foundation, too thin, consistency is too hard...etc. but THIS is PERFECTION! I use it everyday! Its so soft so you're not pushing down and scraping it on your brow area! I can only say good things about this product! Date published: 2013-12-20 Rated 4 out of 5 by Abigail70 from A must have! I have been using this product for about a year now, and I have not found anything that fits a butter job! The lifter makes a huge difference and draws the suggestion to your eyebrows and makes them really look flawless. (By the way, I am using light in my picture) Date published: 2013-11-29 Rated 3 out of 5 by Madalynnn from Good lifter! I bought this product in the lightest shade, it was a little too light on my eyebrows so it made them look a little chalky. The filler is really thick..I'll probably use the lifter more. Probably won't re purchase but can't complain about that price. Date published: 2013-11-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by Stacy G-baby from The Bomb! <3 Omg! This is one of my favorite items from ELF! I have bought soooo many eyebrow filler pencils that never seemed to do or look how I wanted. The first time I tried this I fell in love... Good price and works great! Date published: 2013-10-10 Rated 4 out of 5 by BerlyMagooch from Love the LIFT, not so much the fill The FILL end leaves something to be desired for me. It's too heavy and clumpy to fill in my sparse brows. I will SOMETIMES apply it by taking a small angled brush, brushing the tip of the pencil (which is more like a cream formula) and then applying to my eyebrows where I need more coverage. If I applied it straight from the pencil...yikes, scary-brows. The LIFT side, though, I love. It really does "lift" and give great definition to the arch. It'a easy to apply under the brow and smooth out with a fingertip, and gives a nice bright eyed & bushy tailed appearance. Date published: 2013-09-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by Ariane from Awesome! This is currently my all time favourite brow pencil to use. I don't use the "lift" end of it very often but it does work nicely too. I usually put this on in the morning lightly to just define my brows and it's still there at night, lasts all day. Date published: 2013-09-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by genesis c from best you can get Amazing I will never buy anything else. Just practice and play around with it and you'll get perfect brows even works good with the elf stencils Date published: 2013-09-05 Rated 3 out of 5 by Gabi from Product applies heavily While you generally want pencil products that are soft and glide on easily, this pencil is MUCH too creamy, and it causes there to be excess product applied on your brow. While this is currently my most used brow filler, I have to blend it out a lot with a spoolie to get a desired look. I also am not typically a fan of pencil with a sharpener included (because they are usually poor quality), this sharpener is great and the best one for the job. Overall, I do recommend it and would probably buy it again. Date published: 2013-08-31 Rated 3 out of 5 by Ayahmahbur from Good pencil, terrible color selection. Three shades is NOT enough. I have fair skin and dirty blonde hair, so naturally I got the lightest shade. The lightest shade is FAR too dark for me, the "light" is much more suited for someone with medium brown hair. Nothing lighter than that. So, I suggest looking elsewhere if you have lighter hair! The color does stay well, though. It was difficult to get off after I applied it and let it set. Date published: 2013-08-16 Rated 4 out of 5 by Product Junkie from Great value, but heavy I purchased this in dark, which is the shade I always buy my eyebrow pencils and the shade the sales associate in NYC suggested. I am an avid eyebrow shader. However, I find that the product applies very heavy even when using gently strokes. One benefit is the highlighter which is just amazing. The sharpener is also very convenient. I would buy again just because it is a great value. Just remember to use extremely soft strokes. Date published: 2013-08-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by Babycakes from Multi Purpose Super easy to use and love how much space I save by having the sharpener, eyebrow filler and lifter all in one.

One Killed in Collision on I-65
Date of News Release: 09/14/2010
(Elizabethtown, Ky.) -- (Elizabethtown, KY) On September 13, 2010, at 4:46 pm Eastern Time, while at the scene of a non-injury accident on northbound I-65, just north of Exit 81, Trooper Chris Berry reported having had witnessed a serious accident just south of his location. Trooper Berry reported that a 1990 Honda motorcycle, operated by Greely D Evans (66-year-old male from Indianapolis, IN), was traveling northbound on I-65, as it approached stopped traffic in a road construction zone. Evans was reportedly slow to recognize that traffic had stopped and struck the rear of a 2004 Chevrolet Blazer, operated by Maggie N Skees (35-year-old female from Upton, KY). Evans suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to University of Louisville Hospital by Air Methods. Evans later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by the Jefferson County Coroners Office. Occupants of the Skees vehicle were not injured.

C-Sections: Just the Facts
If you're concerned that the C-section procedure is in your future, learning the facts can help ease your mind. Here are 15 facts you should know about Cesarean births.
1. Definition, Please
A C-section is the surgical delivery of an infant via an incision in the mother's belly and uterus while the mother is under anesthesia. The baby is delivered through the incision, either manually or with the help of a vacuum or forceps.
2. Statistics, Please
Almost 33 percent of deliveries in US are by C-section, says Dr. Jeotsna Grover, member of the board of directors for the
Perinatal Advisory Council: Leadership, Advocacy, and Consultation (PAC/LAC). Broken down by race and ethnicity, black moms have the highest overall rate of any group at 34 percent; rates among Hispanic moms are 31 percent, slightly below the national average. C-sections are the most commonly performed operation in American hospitals.
3. Emergency C-sections
Emergency C-sections are those performed at some point after labor has begun due to complications or inability to deliver the baby vaginally. Some reasons for an emergency C-section are:
- Fetal distress
- Failure to progress in labor due to size of the baby or ineffective uterine contractions
- Cord prolapse (when the cord enters the birth canal before the baby, which may result in compression during a vaginal birth)
- Abnormal presentation like breech or buttocks first
- Uterine rupture
- Placental abruption (detachment of the placenta from the uterus prematurely)
- Placenta previa (partial or complete blockage of the cervix by the placenta)
- Development of preeclampsia during labor
4. Elective C-sections
While some refer to elective C-sections as "too posh to push," there are medical reasons that a C-sections would be scheduled, including:
Pregnancy of multiples
Known breech presentation
Maternal genital herpes outbreak
Known medical issues/defects in the infant
Medical issues in the mother, such as heart or neurological conditions
Large baby, especially a possibility in diabetic mothers
5. Let's Talk Meds
C-sections, being considered major surgery, requires
anesthesia. There are a couple of choices. The first is regional anesthesia (spinal,
epidural, or combined spinal and epidural). Regional anesthesia is generated by sticking a needle into the back, and delivering the anesthetic directly. It numbs the lower half of the body allowing the surgery to be performed while the mother is awake.This is the preferred method of anesthetic in most cases, as it allows the mother to interact with her baby immediately after delivery.
6. General Anesthetic
General anesthesia is generally reserved for emergency situations when the surgery must proceed quickly and there isn't time to wait for regional anesthetic to take effect. It may also be used when the mother has excessive bleeding and may not tolerate regional anesthesia or if she has neurologic issues or has the possibility of infection being spread with the use of regional anesthesia. With general anesthetic, of course, you will be asleep and not able to interact with your infant until you've recovered.
7. The Incision
The type of incision chosen will depend on several factors, including surgeon preference, the position of the baby, and maternal preference.
Classical incision: A vertical incision made in the midline of the abdomen. This is rarely used these days, due to possibility of increased risk of complications.
Low transverse incision: This is the most frequently performed incision, which involves a horizontal incision just above the bladder. This incision is easier to repair and involves less blood loss than a classical incision. It is usually positioned below the pubic hairline, so is less visible when it heals and the hair grows back and covers it.
8. Know the Risks
"One of the things we are doing at PAC/LAC is ensuring that women understand that the benefits of C-section must be weighed with the risks," says Dr. Grover. "Of course a woman should follow the advice of her physician, but she should also do her research in advance so that she can be an informed, empowered patient."
Let's explore the risks to Mom and Baby…
9. Risks for the Newborn
Vaginal delivery is, of course, the preferred method of delivery in almost all cases due to possible increased risks to both mother and infant during a C-Section. Risks to the newborn include possible injury during delivery, temporary sluggishness after delivery due to the anesthesia, and increased risk of breathing problems due to fluid in the lungs even if the infant is full term. Infants born by C-section also have higher risk of
NICU admissions and longer hospital stays.
10. Risks for Mom
C-sections, while relatively safe, are still major surgery. The risks may include bleeding that may require blood transfusion, infection or hernia at the incision site, injury to bowel or bladder, increased risk of blood clots, as well as risks from the anesthetic used during the procedure. Risks for later complications after C-sections includes the development of adhesions from the abdominal surgery, possible weakening of the uterine muscles from the incision, which may increase the risk of uterine rupture during future pregnancies.
11. Dad's Involvement
Most hospitals will allow the birth partner/spouse to be present in the operating room during a C-section to provide support and encouragement to the mother and to interact with the infant after birth. Drapes will keep the surgical procedure from view for the most part and may be lowered after delivery to view the infant and for the partner to cut the cord if so desired.
12. The Hospital Stay
While a hospital stay for a vaginal birth is usually about 48 hours, moms who have had C-sections generally remain hospitalized for three to four days after delivery depending on how quickly their bowel and bladder function returns, how well they are eating moving around, as well as the absence of any signs of infection or other complications from the surgery. Insurance allowances may also factor in the length of time Mom stays hospitalized.
13. Recovery Time
Recovery time for C-sections is longer than it is for vaginal birth, as well as being generally more painful. Full recovery time from the surgery may take four to six weeks. Some of this time, you will probably be on narcotic pain medications as your abdominal muscles heal. "Since staples/stitches are removed prior to discharge from the hospital, a two-week followup is scheduled to evaluate mother's general condition and her wound," says Dr. Grover.
14. Going Home
Upon returning home, you'll be put on certain restrictions by your doctor. These will likely include no driving for two to three weeks (or while on narcotics), no sex for four to six weeks, and no bathing or soaking in a tub until your incision is completely healed. You'll be required to watch your incision for infection, as well as to visit your doctor on the schedule he provides, likely at about two and six weeks after the surgery.
15. Future Pregnancies
Doctors will recommend not becoming pregnant again for at least 12 to 18 months after a C-section, in order to give all the layers of the uterus time to heal. Even so, the incision in the uterus can cause weakness in the uterine muscles, making the chance of a repeat C-section with a subsequent pregnancy more likely. However, about half of moms go on to have a
vaginal birth after a Cesarean (VBAC).
20 Tips for a Smooth C-Section RecoveryWhile C-section recovery can be a bit tougher than recovering from a vaginal birth, you can smooth the way with these 20 tips for a successful recovery from a Cesarean birth.view gallery

Lying about firm performance: Evidence from a survey in Nigeria
AbstractIt is difficult to be sure that managers in developing countries report financial information accurately and truthfully during firm surveys. The most common concern is that managers might under-report performance to avoid attracting attention from the tax authorities or corrupt bureaucrats. Using a method developed in the literature on corruption, this paper identifies managers who appear to be reticent or deceptive and compares their answers with the answers of non-reticent managers. The paper shows that reticent managers report that their firms are more, not less, productive than non-reticent managers. The paper then assesses possible reasons for this, finding that the most likely explanation is that reticent managers exaggerate performance so that they or their firms look good. Because past studies have found that reticent managers appear to lie about other aspects of firm and manager behavior—including underreporting corruption—this suggests that it will be difficult to fully assess how these behaviors affect firm performance unless reticence is controlled for.

The attitude of 'vanilla' healers kinda irks me, not to say add on healers are much better.
People need to think of it like walking to work. Many people could walk to work just fine. It might even make them more healthy overall. But it doesn't (necessarily) make you a better employee than someone who drives. And yea (insert your creator here) didn't design humans to drive so we should be able to walk just fine.
So why do people drive? Quality of life. Many people just like to walk, but others just want to do their job and will use any tools at their disposal to get it done.
Which person is 'wrong'?

Hey... don't bash all of us "vanilla" healers. A lot of us don't want to go back to that raid environment.
I've healed as a druid from MC through ICC. I remember in 40 man raids, just to save myself from clutter, actually splitting my raid frames onto two sides of my screen and actually CHOOSING what groups were more important to keep alive.
Give me Grid any day where I don't have to choose to ignore half the raid just so I could see what is on the screen.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (June 5, 2014) – Led by Division I Rookie Player of the Year Mike Carter (Bloomfield, N.J.) and Division I Fireman of the Year Max Herrmann (Rutherford, N.J.) earning major awards, nine members of the Rutgers baseball team earned all-state honors from the New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association (NJCBA). The Scarlet Knights also had five players take slots on the all-rookie team.
RU went 30-25 for the season, including a 14-9 league record to tie for third in the American Athletic Conference standings.
Carter, a third-team all-conference selection and Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American, earned Rookie of the Year after hitting .318 in his first collegiate season. Starting 52 games in centerfield, he tied for the team lead with 67 hits, the fourth-most by a RU freshman in a year since 2000. He also led the squad with a .355 average in conference games and finished second with 34 RBIs from the leadoff spot in the order.
Herrmann emerged as a consistent option out of the bullpen and led the team with 22 appearances on the season. The left-hander worked to a 3-0 record and 2.57 ERA, allowing opponents to hit .247 against. He did not allow a run in 14 games and went a season-long three innings on seven different occasions. Herrmann collected four saves.
In addition to Carter and Herrmann, five other Scarlet Knights earned NJCBA First Team All-State honors, as Rutgers and Seton Hall combined to take up 14-of-15 spots on first team.
Sophomore Howie Brey (Middletown, N.J.) and freshman Gaby Rosa (Perth Amboy, N.J.) both collected first team as starting pitchers, with the duo pitching the first two games of last seven regular season series. Brey, who also earned third-team all-conference, pitched to a 6-3 record in 11 starts. He held the opposition to a .204 average and tossed a shutout over USF at the American Championships. Rosa, the co-winner of the American Rookie of the Year and a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American, started 11 games had a 2.91 ERA overall. His six wins were the most by a RU freshman since 2006.
Senior Nick Favatella (Washington Township, N.J.) adds first-team all-state to his resume for the second time in his career (2012). The veteran second baseman additionally earned first-team all-conference and led the Scarlet Knights with 43 runs and 16 doubles. He ended his career starting the last 200 games and is third in school history in hits (250), second in at-bats (806) and eighth in runs scored (161).
Junior Vinny Zarrillo (Forked River, N.J.) notched first-team all-state for the second-straight season, hitting .328 for the year. He went 8-for-12 with five RBIs in the American Championships to earn all-tournament status. Additionally, the outfielder led RU with 43 RBIs, 14 steals and 32 walks to pick up third-team all-conference. Senior Lou Clemente (Union, N.J.) rounds out the first-team selections at designated hitter. He knocked in 21 runs and hit two home runs, adding a two-run, pinch-hit single for a walk-off victory versus Hartford.
Both seniors Brian O'Grady (Warminster, Pa.) and Pat Sweeney (Sparta, N.J.) collected second-team all-state in their final season after each picked up third-team all-conference. O'Grady led or tied the team lead with 67 hits, five home runs, five triples, 104 total bases, 20 multiple-hit games and a .510 slugging percentage. He finished his collegiate career ranked third in program history with 771 at bats and sixth with 227 hits. Sweeney hit a career-best .331 to lead the team as senior, holding a .424 on-base percentage. The shortstop earned status a a candidate for both the Olson Award (breakout player of the year) and Wallace Award (top shortstop in the nation). He also recorded third-team all-conference and Daily Targum Senior of the Year.
In addition to Carter, Herrmann and Rosa, freshman Christian Campbell (Sayreville, N.J.) and redshirt freshman Kyle Driscoll (Toms River, N.J.) registered spots on the all-rookie team. Campbell played in 50 games and had 45 hits while playing primarily as the starting third base. Driscoll earned three wins with a 3.19 ERA on the mound and led the team with 58 strikeouts in 53.2 innings.

Found March 18, 2013 on New NFL Draft:
PLAYERS: Elvis Dumervil
TEAMS: Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens
TEAMS: Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens
Elvis Dumervil Suitors are emergingBy DJ BoyerHard to imagine a more bizarre fiasco than the process by which Elvis Dumervil was released by the Broncos. Only thing that may be stranger than the whole situation is the team that suddenly looks to be in the lead for his services, none other than the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. There has been a jettison from the team with players leaving or being cut due to monetary restrictions but apparently there is still some money in the kitty. The Patriots and Lions also look to be players but Baltimore has the inside track with front seven schemes similar to what he ran in Denver. Also from the" Ummmmmm Really" files..Dumervil apparently phoned his agent to let him know he was "moving in another direction"……ahhhhh yeah I think we all saw that one coming!Thanks for reading.

Luis Javier Guerra (born October 31, 1985) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played in MLB for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Professional career[edit]
Los Angeles Dodgers[edit]
Guerra was drafted in the 4th round of the 2004 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers out of Billy Ryan High School in Denton, Texas. He is of Mexican descent.
In the Dodgers system he pitched for the Columbus Catfish in 2005, Ogden Raptors in 2006, Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino from 2007–2008 and split 2009 between the Great Lakes Loons and the Chattanooga Lookouts. He was selected to the Midwest League Mid-season All-Star team in 2009 and participated in the Arizona Fall League Rising Stars game. In 2010 with Chattanooga he had a 2.33 ERA in 28 games, despite missing a portion of the season due to injury. Following the season, he played for the Phoenix Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League. He returned to Chattanooga to start 2011.
Guerra was called up to the Dodgers on May 15, 2011 and made his debut in the ninth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks, working a scoreless inning. On May 24 he was credited with his first career save by pitching a scoreless ninth inning against the Houston Astros. On June 4 he earned his first win by pitching the tenth inning and part of the eleventh, allowing one run in an 11-8 victory against the Cincinnati Reds; he also batted for himself and drew a base on balls. With Jonathan Broxton out for the year with injuries, Guerra became the Dodgers closer for most of the season. He finished with a 2-2 record, 2.31 ERA and 21 saves.
Guerra began 2012 as the Dodgers closer and picked up saves in his first five chances and seven of his first eight, but then he went through a period where he blew two of his next three opportunities and also pitched poorly in some non-save appearances. As a result, he was dropped from the closer role in favor of Kenley Jansen.[1] He was later demoted to the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes in August.[2] Guerra rejoined the Dodgers when rosters expanded in September, but suffered a strained oblique and was placed on the disabled list for the remainder of the season.[3] Overall, he appeared in 45 games for the Dodgers in 2012, with a 2-3 record, 2.60 ERA and 8 saves.
On November 2, Guerra underwent arthroscopic right shoulder surgery, his third different surgery in 2012.[4] He returned in time for spring training, but his injury kept him from participating in the 2013 World Baseball Classic.[5] He also suffered a groin strain during spring training and the setback led to him falling behind the other relievers and he was optioned to Albuquerque to start the season.[6] He spent the bulk of the season there, appearing in 27 games (including 4 as a starter) and was 0-4 with a 3.66 ERA and 12 saves. He also appeared in 9 games with the Dodgers in May and had an ERA of 6.75.
Guerra was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on March 16, 2014 and removed from the 40-man roster.
Chicago White Sox[edit]
The Chicago White Sox claimed him off waivers on March 26, 2014.[7] On March 28, the White Sox outrighted him to AAA. He was called up to the majors in May.
Pitching style[edit]
Guerra mostly throws a hard four-seam fastball (93–96 mph) and cutter (88–91), although he occasionally mixes in a curveball (78–80). He has even sprinkled in a small handful of sliders, changeups, and splitters — all in the mid-80s range.[8]

text: We love going to a Japanese Steak House and Aodake is one of our favorites. We have only been to the Romeoville Location, but have been there several times. Besides great food Aodake has offers a bit of fun to your meal. I feel that their prices are also a little bit more reasonable than some other Japanese Steak Houses that we have been to. Aodake is pronounced ah-oh da' key and besides typical Japanese Steak House food they also have sushi and great appetizers. We are not into Sushi but we have ordered one of their Tempura Appetizers and it was delicious. +Aodake +JapaneseSteakHouse +Hibachi +Sushi

Stray AngelsStray Angels
The best of him has come in pieces
Stricken, rotten and fragmentary
In words born on the road
Between six string and bottomless bottles
Through cage bars every star seems striped
While in tune every soul gets stripped
Rainbows scare fear, in death they trust
Needles like swords the arms do thrust
Both sweet and bitter potions
Bewildered of emotions they've set free
Nips whipping dreams of the angels-to-be
Crush substance of the ever unlocked doors
The best of him has gone in Paris
Symbol of freedom captivating fate
Too close to beauty with an empty gaze
Her hair ablaze lulled heart that found relief
Through fields and chapels
We walk hand in hand
Stained glass draws world
Right in front of our feet
Like careless colourful
Containing treasures
Everything beautiful
Begins with love
That for my eyes hides
In your smiling face
Everything hopeful
Might well end in tears
Like tired angels
When falling from grace
I read your heart like runes
Like gems in tube
Pages turn, churches burn
Fields drown in gold
In empty street
I still can hear you breathe
You are my shadow
I'm your dream to hold
Children Of The StormChildren Of The Storm
Night after day clouds draw blueprints
Of promises we should not repeat
Mistakes of those before us
Threaten we'll get burned and then retreat
However, we exchange kisses aloud
So carelessly proud of love
That to world is but a thorn in the heel
As if it was a shame to feel...
Sweet moments are meant just for rent
Cunning books viciously say
While subtle faces give us sour grins
Then quickly look away
Is this what we've been searching for?
I neither know nor care
What matters at the end of day
Is whether you are there
I don't mind if sky's overcast
May rain fall down with walls
In your arms I found home at last
And when the thunder calls
Two children of the storm we are
Our foreheads make the roof
Drenched with downpour but soaked with love
As heart is waterproof
The rays of brightest autumn sun
A blessing sent down from the sky
On two of hearts beating like one
The shiny flames meant to be spun
And twirled into rings - they will tie
My love, your dearest soul to mine
Beyond the rest of our days
They'll seal our bond in grace divine
And in a glance they shall outline
Our future shrouded in a haze
Where you'll go I will follow you
Through joy and pain that's ours to bear
Each day I'll fall for you anew
I swear that I'll always stay true
To your love that's beyond compare
You are what I was looking for
And found you dormant in my heart
There you will stay forevermore
While I will protect and adore
You as my noblest, purest part
My darling, I do hope and pray
For that you'll never leave my side
Then vows of this September day
May guide us, light up our way
God help us by them to abide
Sugar FreeSugar Free
Her face shined brighter
Than the snow
The canvas she picked
For drawing angels
Shaped like her
And equally as mute
While frost was playing
Silver flute
Her limbs danced, light
Ploughing through beauty
Cold sterling gems,
Most precious clay
Fine linen cloth
Never to fray
The sweetest icing
Sugar free
To PersevereTo Persevere
Narrate me about sand, will you?
About rocks time has crumbled
And cities those cried
When wind loved them fervently
Tell me of the eyes
Of a child not yet born
And what its voice will sound like
When it'll be speaking in its sleep
Draw me burning beehives
Of olden giants and how they bleeded honey
Which hardened and thereby preserved
Its nation forevermore
Promise me a bubble
Of four white walls and a roof bright red
With roses in the garden
Just one too firm for the thorns to burst
The Love of WordsIf it means to, it will.
You must be patient, still.
It may start by flirting
like a man with sultry eyes
and a plump bottom lip who smiles
in a way he knows transcends
first kiss to prom night.
Perhaps it will ravage you,
leave you breathless and awestruck
and filled with so many words
they trip over themselves like elephants
who cannot forget the threat of mice.
It could be gentle,
just one finger teasing the right spot
deliberate and measured so that you
can only break yourself against the lines
and wait, patient and still, knowing
that if it means to, it will.
she says:she says,
"tell me what you're thinking"
as her hands trace the back of your neck
like leaves skimming the surface of water,
a child peeking from behind her mother's
skirt and pulls away so fast that you can't be
certain she was ever there at all.
lips pressed to her temple,
you can't be sure she's real
just like you could never be sure the
monster in your closet, the ghost in
the attic, the fabric of time itself
was ever real at all of an ersatz universe
constructed around you for your benefit
you say,
"i'm not thinking anything at all."
and she knows you're lying.
and this is how you fall in love with her.
she says,
"be honest with me"
and you're not and she knows this
and she forgives you anyway.
she forgives the days
when your hands turn into lead
plates so heavy you can't pull yourself
out of bed let alone answer a text
message, when your eyelids are sewn
shut every morning by the entangling
GoodbyesA shy hello begins the tale,
Two strangers in a play,
A quiet word, a moment's care
Brings back the mirth of May,
And then a smile, a borrowed laugh,
Perhaps a happy tear,
Life's woes are few, its gifts renew,
But they don't last, my dear.
Such weeping I have often seen;
So many fruitless tears,
And yet a question I have asked
Met silence through the years.
Alone the crave, alone the grave;
All pain is pleasure's loan,
We come with naught, and thus depart,
Tell me, what do we own?
We are wildflowers in the breeze
A breath of father time,
And in the hue, in wanton dew
Perhaps there is some rhyme,
And for a spell, we briefly brush
And love and live in vain,
But one by one we must wave on
To never meet again.
Are There No WordsSpirits flagging--
What speech to
wake and stir that which is now
muddled and benumbed.
Flailing about, the tongue leaves sensibilities stranded
without recourse...
there are no words.
What paints the state of draggled souls;
hard beset by vile grief
eclipsing former sorrows.
Who can scribe the tale of writhing lusts;
from cringing lips – base cravings
rightly deemed hateful, yet
blasting ever against the battlements
of wilting will and conscience?
Are there no words?
No words
to cleanse the dregs of mournful humors;
to span the ragged gaps of jaded comprehension?
In these cruel and bitter throes,
let voices of compassion flow.
Bless the lonely
for all the ones who lost a mate
bless the lonely
for all the children killed by hate
bless the lonely
for typhoon victims overseas
bless the lonely
for all those subject to disease
bless the lonely
for all who lie in nursing homes
bless the lonely
for all who venture on their own
bless the lonely
for all those homeless on the streets
bless the lonely
for those who barely get to eat
bless the lonely
for those whose lives are without God
bless the lonely
for those who others see as odd
bless the lonely
for those who never got the chance
bless the lonely
for those who'll never get to dance
Heavenly Father, please... bless the lonely
... all the lonely people, where do they all come from?
all the lonely people, where do they all belong? (Eleanor Rigby- Beatles)
Something's MissingI will not miss you like a child misses a blanket
or a year misses a season which has just passed
or as childhood is remembered from furrowed brows;
the parched lips that had once drunk from
the fountain of youth.
nor will I miss you like a widowed lark
that stays up all night believing in
melodic necromancy -
- I do not believe in such things,
as I do not believe in a god I forsook,
when I realized I did not miss him
as I missed the comfort of ignorance,
Nay, I cannot miss you like a poem misses its muse
in verses,
which miss her till eternity dies
or a juvenile favour that leaves one
benevolent and misses benevolence for all of its days.
Instead I must miss you like an accepted part of every day -
- the ticking of clocks, the buzzing of gadflies,
the first few moments after awakening that misses a dream
or the Korean vase upon the chiffonier
which misses last week's dahlias
or the street dog misses its late keeper-of-crumbs
or an ink quill misses the words it bore
or a poet m

A robbery suspect was injured - and in custody - after leading Greenfield police on a 31-block police chase Monday afternoon.
In a news release, police said they got a call at 3:30 p.m. from an employee of the Golf Galaxy store at 7801 W. Layton Ave., reporting an armed robbery in progress and giving a description of the robber and his vehicle.
Greenfield officers got there immediately but couldn't stop the vehicle as it pulled onto westbound Layton Ave., fleeing at up to 65 m.p.h.
Near S. 108th St., officers boxed in the fleeing vehicle, but it rammed the squad cars and continued north onto 108th for a block before the driver lost control and crashed into a light pole. The driver was then taken into custody, according to the statement.
The man suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital, the news release said. No other injuries were reported in the robbery and pursuit.

MISSION OF BURMA at the Echoplex
Tonight's Mission of Burma set, in which the Boston post-punk band will perform their landmark 1982 album, Vs., in its entirety, presents a bit of an artistic conundrum. The album — which directly influenced Sonic Youth, R.E.M., Nirvana, Moby and even Pearl Jam (among many others) and was just reissued by Matador in a newly remastered "definitive" edition that includes bonus tracks and a DVD with a full concert performance from 1983 — encompasses such straight-ahead punk anthems as "The Ballad of Johnny Burma" and "That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate," as well as stranger explorations like the wiggly electric-eel guitar riffs of "Trem Two" and the haunting coda spirals of "Dead Pool." MOB played only a couple of times in Los Angeles during their early-'80s heyday and then took a 19-year break before reuniting in 2002, so any chance to get sucked up again into the swirling, mesmerizing noise vortex of "Secrets" is worth reveling in. But it's something of a paradox that such a forward-looking band of experimentalists are taking a nostalgic digression now, especially since their two magnificent comeback CDs, ONoffON (2004) and The Obliterati (2006), are equally deserving of the full-length live treatment. On the other hand, perhaps the arbitrary constraints of linear time are irrelevant because Vs. still sounds bracingly fresh today. (Falling James)
CHICHA LIBRE, ETRAN FINATAWA at the Japanese American National Museum
Down in Peru, you got two kinds of chicha, your corn liquor and your cumbiadelic music. The rich folks and pointy heads don't cotton much to either, looking down their snoots at the working stiffs who tie one on with the Incan hooch while getting down to those wavery geetars, organ con queso and tipsy-tumbling timbales. The music first shook its syncretic bootie in the late 1960s on Amazonian oil-field dance floors and soon spread to the urban jungle of Lima, soaking in rock, Latin and indigenous influences as the revelers smiled. But chicha remained unheard by the planetary ear until Barbès Records' maven Olivier Conan "discovered" the good stuff during a Peruvian jaunt, inspiring an inimitably wonderful compilation, The Roots of Chicha: Psychedelic Cumbia. The French expat's NYC-based Chicha Libre released Sonido Amazonico! earlier this year, a goofball-fanatique channeling and reinvention of the chichanista groove. Joining them this evening is Etran Finatawa, the Tuareg/Wodaabe purveyors of the Saharan nomad blues who had Temple Bar in glorious trance several months back. Starts at 6:30 p.m. 369 E. First St., Little Tokyo. Etran Finatawa also at Amoeba Music, Tues., 7 p.m. (Tom Cheyney)
TUSSLE, RA RA RIOT at the Echo
One has only to hear the superficial attempts by the many lesser-equipped young Krautrockian bands to re-create the mesmerizing autopilot grooves of Kraftwerk and Neu in order to appreciate Tussle's state-of-the-art-and-beyond aesthetic. The trio's new disc, Cream Cuts, on the primo Smalltown Supersound label mixes their funk-laden improvs and dubtronic whirlpools with a newfound harmonic and textural depth and, crucially, a more structured sense of purpose that gives their woolly maelstroms of drums, electronics, bass and more electronics a palpably cinematic effect — though one is welcome to drop a jaw at the rapidly developing power, versatility and un-clichéd imagination of their instrumental chops. But forget all the Krautrock references, because the most exciting thing about this stuff is that it sounds like, well, nothing quite like what has come before. And that's where it's at. In a jarringly different realm altogether, Ra Ra Riot will provide the emo-tive rock passion to the 10th power as delivered so unsparingly on their new The Rhumb Line album on Barsuk. (John Payne)
THE SHONDES at Silverlake Lounge
The Shondes are named after the Yiddish word for "shame," and it sometimes seems like the coed Brooklyn quartet are not only taking on all of the problems of the modern world but also trying to resolve every past injustice on their new Tony Maimone–produced CD, The Red Sea. Clearly, this is a serious and ambitious band. Louisa Solomon belts out her thoughtfully passionate lyrics with a grand voice that draws on the mannered fierceness of riot-grrl icons like Bikini Kill. At times, her delivery has a heroic intensity. At others, there's a strident sameness that makes one wish Solomon employed a little more dynamic variety in her vocals or relaxed occasionally and revealed something approaching a sense of humor. Still, Elijah Oberman's violin balances Solomon's fire with slithering melodies that give tracks like "At the Water" a stately kind of beauty. And while "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" rips off the name of Gerry Goffin and Carole King's similarly titled classic, it's an otherwise unrelated song whose breathtaking dramatics are made even more magical by Ian Brannigan's hovering sheets of post-punk guitars.
