casisdead, the mysterious masked rapper emerging from the shadows of British music
Mystery surrounds rapper CASisDEAD. Who's behind the mask, where does he come from? One thing is for sure, his macabre musical offerings may invite comparisons to MF Doom or Gravediggaz, but there's a distinctly British tone on display.
CASisDEAD by Nick Dorey
"There's a load of reasons I wear the mask," CASisDEAD says speaking from behind his 'everyday' red hockey number. "One is that it eliminates the need for me to show off or try and be anything I'm not. You don't know what I look like. I'm not interested in the whole bragging, arsehole behaviour. That's why, most times when you see me, I'm dressed like a tramp cos I don't really care for all that. I'm not really interested in the lifestyle."
This is eerie, intense, visceral music and we think the man, influenced by Tarantino, Nicolas Winding Reyn, Big L and D Double E, might just be one of the most interesting, innovative, unusual rappers to emerge from the shadows of British music. "It's cold, harsh reality innit," says CAS of his rap based ruminations. "I don't think there's any need to sugarcoat it cos everyone knows what's going on, so I'm just telling the truth."
There are so many murders on these tunes. I wish people would stop talking shit so that my little brother doesn't grow up thinking he has to emulate this bollocks.
Real name?
Um, no.
I was never born, I was created.
Where are you from?
My heart is in Tottenham.
I don't know what I'm doing. Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder what I'm doing. Pillock. I'm just having a laugh while I'm here, doing what I can.
What's your life story in two sentences or less?
Fucked up. That's as straight to the point as I can put it. I'm surprised I'm still here; I've had loads of problems. It will all become apparent soon. I've got a mixtape out now, The Number 23 and another, Commercial 2 coming out soon which will have a lot of answers to the questions people have.
How long have you worn a mask?
I can't really remember. It's like the film The Mask with Jim Carey; it just happened one day and took over me.
Do you get a lot of MF Doom comparisons?
To be honest, no offense to him, I'd never even heard of him until some people started saying that he wears a mask. I've heard him since and he's cold, but it's not really my sort of music or rap that he does.
How do you describe your music?
I don't have a genre. If I like a beat, I'll spit on it. It could be classical, jungle, rap, or pop - I don't care. It's easier if you don't restrict yourself or assign yourself to one genre, you can just do what you want.
Who are you working with?
Faze Miyaki, Merky Ace, Nutty P, MssingNo, Skywalker who works with Danny Brown. Cyrus is my in-house producer
Skepta's a fan of yours. How do you know him?
Skepta's a don. He's from Tottenham, and Tottenham is very small, everyone knows everyone. I was always a fan of Meridian; Skepta, Dan, JME. JME and Skepta, they've really helped me out, and their sister Julie, on RINSE. They're brilliant man, I love them. They're proper grime philanthropists.
Which track of your own sums you up best?
Leon Best. And also City Slicker. I don't really listen to my music but that's one track that I can listen to. I'm a director before I'm a rapper. A lot of times, I have an idea for a video, and I'll shoot the video before I've even recorded the tune. I see the video, hear the beat and then write the song. The video is so important. A lot of people go outside with a shitty camera and shit lights and film a shit video, but you see it once and forget it. I'm trying to make short films. Music's just the soundtrack.
How would you describe your style?
I'm just not really concerned with clothes. In my line of work there's no point putting on anything fancy cos they're just gonna get dirty or covered in drugs. I'm not gonna lie, if you listen to my music, then you'll know.
Karaoke song of choice?
Our Friends Electric Gary Numan, I love Gary Numan.
Secret crush?
Oh mate you'll get me in trouble now. Nigella. It's gotta be Nigella. She should have hollered at me.
How do you hope to change the future of music?
Just to get people to stop talking bollocks to be honest with you. You listen to a lot of rap yeah, especially in the UK. There's so many murders on these tunes but then you turn on the news and the statistics don't exactly match. I wish people would stop talking shit so that my little brother doesn't grow up thinking he has to emulate this bollocks that they're talking. 'Everyone's killing everybody'. They're not really, are they. I want everyone to calm down, have a look and see that it's a bit bigger than that really.
Where do you hope to be in 10 years?
Alive. If I'm alive for another 5 more years I'll be very happy. It's a long story. You have to buy the CD, Commercial 2, for that one. In fact, it's free, so just download it.
The Number 32 is out now.

The new map for Call of Duty: WW2 Zombies seems to be full of little Easter Eggs. One of those is a little Hangman game that you can play to have fun and redeem rewards in an easy way. That is, of course, if you have access to this Call of Duty: WW2 Zombies Shadowed Throne Hangman Guide.
This Call of Duty: WW2 Zombies Shadowed Throne Hangman Guide will tell you how to play Hangman in the new map. Apart from that, it will mention how to get special rewards by spelling out certain words.
WW2 Zombies Shadowed Throne Hangman
The Hangman game can be used to get quite a lot of awesome rewards.
For example, you can unlock the Jack-In-The-Box without having to use the Mystery Box. The previously released Wonder Weapons can also be accessed using this method. That is right! You can get the Tesla Gun and the Ripsaw for free.
In order to play Hangman, go to the Main Street and then look at the glowing sign which can be found above the entrance to the Cabaret. This is used to play Hangman.
You can see the noose and two pointers with three dots. You can use the pointers to change the letters by shooting at them and use the center dot to select the letter that you would like to guess.
Hangman Rewards
There are seven different words that you can get by guessing. If you select a letter that is appearing in one of the words, then you will have that letter appear on the board.
However, if you select a letter that is not in the word, then you will have a man slowly get hanged on the noose to the left.
The word will be random and after six wrong guesses, the man will hang and you will need to reset the game. Here is a list of the words that can be spelled and their rewards that will be dropped:
- REAPER: Insta-Kill Power-Up Reward
- DAMNATION: Nuke Power-Up Reward
- FAMISHED: Max Ammo Power-Up Reward
- GLUTTONY: Double Jolts Power-Up Reward
- GEISTKRAFT: Full Charge Power-Up Reward
- THEJACKBOX: Jack-in-the-Box Wonder Weapon
- WONDER: Tesla Gun + Ripsaw Wonder Weapons
That is all we have for our Call of Duty: WW2 Zombies Shadowed Throne Hangman Guide. Let us know if we missed something using the comments section below!

Taylor Swift Does it again with her Platinum Edition of Fearless
I'm not a country fan but can tolerate a lot of Taylor Swift!
Taylor swift is fun!!!! Tween girls will love it!!!!
What's the story?
Teen country singer Taylor Swift has fueled the flames of her sizzling hot career by releasing a "platinum edition" of her second CD titled Fearless, which itself has gone quadruple platinum. The new CD/DVD contains six new songs on top of the 13 that appeared on the original album, along with an altered cover, dozens of new photos from her 2009 Fearless Tour, music videos, and additional video footage of Swift. Like the dozen-plus tunes that came before, the six new tracks are squeaky clean, foregoing graphic language and content in favor of a realistic yet wholesome look at dating and relationships.
Is it any good?
Taylor Swift deserves very big props for writing almost all of her own songs, something that most of her contemporaries don't do. While her tunes, including these six new ones, aren't necessarily great feats of songwriting prowess, they are consistently and solidly good -- from their well-articulated themes of young relationships that make them so relatable to her adoring fans to Swift's lovely if not exceptionally powerful voice.
Talk to your kids about ...
Families can talk about Taylor Swift's career. How has she managed to become enormously popular without making a media spectacle of herself?
Though she's a huge star, what are some things that Taylor may have in common with any teen her age?
Do pop singers have a responsibility to be role models? Why or why not?

GREENOCK parkrun celebrated as two of its most devoted participants completed their 250th runs.
Graham McGrattan and Richard Hodelet were among seven runners achieving milestones on what was a 'Super Saturday' at the weekly five-kilometre event on The Esplanade.
Graham and Dick started their parkrun journeys around a decade ago and have both been focused on reaching the 250 target despite numerous injuries and health concerns getting in their way.
Dick, above — who runs in the 75 to 79 age group — began at Glasgow parkrun (now named Pollok parkrun) in 2009, completing 70 runs there before Greenock was established in 2014.
He has run 170 at Greenock as well as 10 at various other West of Scotland events. Dick competed at very high level in his younger years and indeed still holds the Scottish record for the 600 yards race.
At the finish line on Saturday there was a guard of honour from his Greenock Glenpark Harriers clubmates.
Graham went to Glasgow parkrun in 2010 after initially thinking it was madness travelling to Glasgow early on a Saturday to run five kilometres. It quickly became a habit and he went on to complete 47 runs at Pollok.
Graham was keen to establish a parkrun event in Greenock and has been a run director since it started. He has volunteered 160 times and has completed 178 runs.
Graham and Dick with Greenock Glenpark Harriers clubmates
Meanwhile, Stuart Chalmers and George Hegarty both completed their 100th parkruns and Viki Smith and Graeme Watson celebrated their half centuries. Viki volunteered at the first Greenock parkrun, and has completed most of her runs at Linwood.
Stuart Chalmers
Junior runner Nuala Ward was delighted to earn a personal best (PB) time on her 10th run.
The dry and calm conditions were ideal for PBs with 21 runners improving their times.
Runners were treated at the finish line to cake, tablet, scones and hot drinks — organisers thank all the bakers and providers of goods.

- ITV Report
Young rugby players get coaching from Northampton Saints players
- Video report by ITV News Anglia's Raveena Ghattaura
Young rugby players have been spending part of their summer with some of their idols.
At the Stowe School in Buckingham, children are being coached by Northampton Saints players and the club's community coaches.
Dylan Hartley and the rest of his Saints teammates were the special guests at this week's camp.
The camp is open to children of all abilities between 11 and 17 years old.
It's the perfect chance to get some one on one training with the stars and for the children to know exactly what it is like to be a professional player.
They're taught everything from kicking to jumping, and at the end of the day there is an opportunity to get a selfie and an autograph.
As part of a new ITV campaign called 'Healthy Holiday's' kids are being encouraged to get out of the house and get active over the summer.
The rugby camp is not only about the coaching, it's also the chance for children get out of the house, make new friends, and stay fit.
The camps include skills, drills, competitions and lots of fun.
There is also the possibility of getting spotted by a member of the academy coaching staff too.
So for those attending the camps this summer, it could even be the beginning of something more.

Careflight bears to help under privileged kids
MORE than 400 CareFlight bears will light up the eyes of underprivileged children in Papua New Guinea thanks to the work of Bev Mann.
The former Goombungee resident has been collecting the popular toys for the past 18 months and will travel to Kiwikila to distribute them to local kids.
"I saw a documentary on the horrible poverty facing children in PNG and it left me heartbroken," Ms Mann said.
"I wanted to do something to help them and I thought the bears would be something they could treasure."
Ms Mann's cause was highlighted by CareFlight as its charity of the month with supporters donating a further 83 bears.
"It's been amazing to think that people care so deeply and I'm so grateful for their support," she said.
"I was asked to join the team in PNG to help give out all the bears that have been donated to these underprivileged children.
"I'm so grateful to CareFlight and the Salvation Army and all their supporters for helping to make this a reality."

Baltimore Orioles defeat Toronto Blue Jays, 5-4
Markakis' walk-off With the bases loaded and one out in the ninth, Nick Markakis singled sharply past a drawn-in infield to give the Orioles a 5-4 win.
Markakis, who grounded into a double play in his first at-bat, singled in each of his last three at-bats. Corey Patterson, who singled to lead off the inning, scored the winning run. After a sacrifice bunt, Brian Roberts was walked intentionally and Melvin Mora drew a walk to load the bases.
Pinch hit
After Daniel ...
It took until the 16th game of the season for outfielder Jay Payton to join the Orioles' active roster.
He had to wait at least one more night to join the lineup.
The Orioles activated Payton from the disabled list yesterday and optioned Jon Knott to Triple-A Norfolk. Manager Sam Perlozzo decided to ease Payton back into major league competition, rather than start him against Toronto Blue Jays starter A.J. Burnett, whose fastball reached 98 mph last night.
"We'll ...
The first punishment came from Aubrey Huff, who sprinted out of the dugout and jumped on the back of Nick Markakis. Then Melvin Mora ran and leaped on Markakis and other Orioles around first base.
Finally, Markakis emerged from the celebration to do a post-game interview and he promptly got a shaving-cream pie thrust in his face, courtesy of reliever Jamie Walker.

Meet Aurora, a CMA Inspiration Ambassador
The inspirational stories at Clearwater Marine Aquarium have changed lives – just ask Aurora!
Aurora just celebrated her one year anniversary as an Inspiration Ambassador for Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Aurora has a special connection to Winter the Dolphin. She is on the autism spectrum, and through watching the Dolphin Tale movies she has gained self-confidence and learned to "never give up" and to "keep going" through her life challenges. After being connected to the aquarium and Winter's story, she now aims to be a motivational speaker. She currently is asked to speak to university classes and even at the Special Olympics! And as an Inspiration Ambassador for CMA, Aurora shares her connection to CMA in her home state of Iowa – and educates people on how they can protect marine life and the environment.
For Aurora's one year anniversary of being a CMA representative, she returned to Clearwater Marine Aquarium to reconnect with the rescued animals that have inspired her and helped her gain self-confidence.
Aurora Reads Her Letter to Winter and Hope
The highlight of Aurora's trip was an encounter with two of our resident, rescued dolphins, Winter and Hope. Aurora was able to get up close with both dolphins and read a letter to Winter about how much her story has inspired her and taught her that "we are capable of anything, despite the obstacles that come our way."
"Winter has showed me that just because we are different, we are no different than anyone else and can do things just like everybody else and deserve to be treated just like everybody else."
Aurora continues to spread the word about CMA's mission of rescue, rehab and release in Iowa. Keep up the good work Aurora!

Low Libido, Fatigue and Weight Gain are Signs of Low Testosterone
Dec 27, 2017 10:38PM
By Paul Stallone
It's a very sensitive topic that many choose to silently endure, but four out of 10 men around the age of 45 have low testosterone, the age when this important hormone starts to decrease naturally. The official term is hypogonadism, and it can produce some serious symptoms in both men and women.
One of the more telltale signs of the male body not producing enough testosterone is the inability to have or maintain an erection. This can be devastating in many aspects; the man may question his masculinity or self-worth, his sexual relationships could suffer or his ability to father children could be in jeopardy. Not only does the male body need testosterone to complete a chain reaction to get an erection, but the body also needs it to produce sperm.
Testosterone is often thought of as the young man's hormone, and losing it means losing that youthful feeling. Decreased hair, energy, muscle mass, bone mass and sex drive are some of the physical symptoms a man may notice. Changes in sleep patterns, emotional changes, difficultly concentrating and depression are symptoms a man's inner self may battle.
There are medical conditions other than age that can contribute to low testosterone. Certain medications, diabetes, obesity, infections and chronic medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease can impact how the body produces hormones. Most of these causes are reversible with the right changes and motivation.
There are a variety of solutions readily available, including pharmaceutical drugs that can help a man achieve an erection. While this may work for many, they are only a short-term solution, and only address one symptom of low testosterone. Another drawback is the extensive list of possible side effects. Taking these drugs requires a thorough discussion with a physician, especially regarding all other medications being taken.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves supplementing testosterone levels. This is the most comprehensive form of therapy because it addresses all symptoms related to low testosterone. In-depth bloodwork is extremely beneficial to take full advantage of the customization that HRT offers. Testosterone injections and creams can be tailored specifically to a patient's need. Other critical hormones such as DHEA can be added to bioidentical creams. Injections and creams may be used simultaneously for quick recovery of symptoms.
Human growth hormone (HGH) is often referred to as the youth hormone. Its abundance allows people in their teens and 20s to recover more quickly from injury and exertion, build muscle faster and easier, generate more energy, think faster, and have a strong libido. Most people will start producing less and less of this hormone sometime in their early 30s. There are a few ways to subtly increase HGH with supplements and exercise, but to really feel an impact, there are injection options.
The symptoms that a man may experience from low testosterone can affect women, as well. Fatigue, sleep disruptions, weight gain, decreased libido, emotional troubles and even osteoporosis can be the result of female-related low testosterone. Both sexes have much to gain with correcting their hormone levels, if needed. Routine bloodwork may miss imbalanced levels or an inexperienced physician may not fully understand the complexity. Working with a knowledgeable naturopath will ensure proper diagnostic testing and a natural course of treatment. A naturopath will also be able to navigate between a hormone imbalance or other possible medical conditions.

For Alex Sandro, there are at least two causes for celebration on his 25th birthday. If the primary reason is that of being able to pass the special day for the very first time with his Juventus team-mates, the second arises from an impressive six months since arriving in Turin in the summer that have seen the Brazilian wing-back become a key member of Massimiliano Allegri's title-chasing squad.
From his solid defensive work and knack for a key interception to his mesmerising dribbling, pinpoint crossing and even an eye for goal as proved nine days ago against Udinese, the former Porto man has already managed to win over the hearts and minds of the Bianconeri faithful.
Everyone associated with Juventus Football Club would like to wish Alex Sandro many happy returns and a successful second half to the campaign.

NZ team pursuit score gold and silver medals
The Vantage New Zealand team won gold and silver medals on the second day of their opening UCI Track World Cup campaign in Hong Kong.
The women's development squad combination, with an average age just over 20 years, grabbed the gold medal in the 4000m team pursuit final after a brilliant burst gave them the lead for the first time three laps from the finish.
The team of Michaela Drummond, Emily Shearman, Nicole Shields and Ally Wollaston who came in for Jessie Hodges, clocked 4:19.653 to win by 0.8sec over Belgium who are third on the World Cup standings.
The Vantage New Zealand men's team pursuit squad earned the silver medal after they were caught just two laps from the finish by Germany in the final after leading throughout.
The team of Tom Sexton, Dylan Kennett, Nick Kergozou and Corbin Strong, coming in for Campbell Stewart for the final, clocked an impressive 3:52.655 in the final, leading to the 3500m mark until the Germans powered home to win by 0.7sec, with both teams averaging over 60kph.
Earlier the men's team sprint trio of Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins had to settle for fourth after being pipped by the experienced French combination in the bronze medal ride, while the women's team sprint pairing of Olivia Podmore and Ellesse Andrews finished 12th in qualifying.
The women's team pursuit, who qualified fastest, produced an impressive performance to dominate Korea in the first round. They were ahead by over three seconds at the 2000m mark and were able to ease home over the final four laps to win in 4:24.999 by two seconds and book a place in the final.

The Alex Greenfield-coached team came up against a full-strength Belgium squad in the final, led by noted professional road rider Jolien D'Hoore, a former junior road champion and Olympic track medallist.
The Belgians, who had gone two seconds faster than the Kiwis in their first round, put the heat on to open a one second lead at 1000m and stretched it to 1.3sec at the halfway mark. The youthful Kiwis showed their resilience closing the gap to under a second at the 3000m mark, edging in front for the first time three laps from the finish.
They scooted home under 1:03 for the final 1000m, their fastest kilo of the race, to win by nearly a second in 4:19.653.
It proved a similar situation in reverse for the men's team pursuit who produced a superb 3:51.628 effort in their first round, nearly three seconds faster than yesterday's qualifying performance. The quartet of Campbell Stewart, Dylan Kennett, Nick Kergozou and Corbin Strong accounted for the Russian Federation by nearly four seconds to secure a place in the final against Germany who had gone fractionally faster.
The Vantage New Zealand team, who swapped Tom Sexton for Stewart who races the omnium competition tomorrow, made a flying start in the final. They were ahead by 0.4sec at the 1000m, closing to 0.1s at the halfway but easing over half a second clear at the 3000m.
The Germans produced a withering 56.1s for their final 1000m to edge ahead with a lap and a half to go, winning in 3:51.984 with the Kiwis half a second behind.
While it is the fourth World Cup competition for most of the European teams, the Vantage New Zealand women's team pursuit is up to eighth overall and the men 10th after their first outing in the ultimate push for Tokyo Olympic qualification.
It was a case of work in progress for the men's team sprint combination of Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins in development of an ambitious higher gearing on their bikes this year.
They were third fastest in qualifying in 43.618s behind world champions Netherlands and the super-experienced French. While the Dutch combination were a class above, clocking 42.276 in the first round, there was only 0.1sec separating Germany, France and New Zealand.
Germany edged into the final where they were no match for the Dutch, leaving the Kiwis to take on perennial rivals France for the bronze medal. New Zealand found their usual stellar start but the French rode over the top in the final lap to pip the Kiwis by 0.3sec.
The action continues overnight with Stewart sporting the rainbow jersey in the men's omnium, Drummond in the scratch race, Andrews and Natasha Hansen in the individual sprint, and Callum Saunders in the keirin.
The competition concludes overnight Sunday before the focus turns to round four of the Tissot UCI Track World Cup at the Avantidrome in Cambridge on 6 to 8 December.

Federal have upgraded the Stance XL rim adding brass eyelets to create the Stance Pro, the benefit of this is that it creates a larger surface area for the nipple to sit in which reduces the chance of the spoke pulling through the rim. The eyelets also allow the nipple to rotate making it easier to build up the wheel, as well as allowing the spokes to be tighter.
The Federal Stance XL rim has a wider (40mm) cross section which is designed to be in keeping with modern tyre sizes which helps the tyre maintain its correct profile. The triple box section combined with the wider profile makes the rim both stronger and stiffer than conventional rims and also helps to reduce the possibility of pinch flats. The wall thickness where the spokes are located has been increased by 22% to reduce the possibility of spokes pulling through the rim.
Federal also changed the material from Aluminium 6061 to 6066 which they believe increases the strength by approximately 30%. The rims have a lower sidewall height (15mm compared to 20mm on most other rims) to give the rim a lower/wider appearance .The internal sidewall height is also reduced to keep the tyre firmly in place when inflated and the base of the rim is sunken to ease the installation and removal of tyres.
- Extra wide/low profile rim
- 6066 alloy construction
- Double wall design using 3 hollow chambers
- Welded seam
- Extra wide (40mm across)
- Low profile shape (15mm height)
- Increased thickness around spoke holes with eyelets for maximum strength
- Wide spoke layout makes it easier to build the rim and tighten the spokes
- Includes 35mm wide XL rim tape
- 36 hole only
- Note: Rims are sold individually, not in pairs

I had a fun time selecting which cards to program. My focus were cards that would be fun for limited, because they would also be fun for constructed. My initial goal was 150 cards, 30 for each color. The card rarity was like 20 common, 10 uncommon, 5 rares. I knew that common cards were the ones that were used the most in limited, since they are the most available.
For the rares I wanted game breaking creatures and spells like Wrath of God, Serra Angel, and Tromp the Domains. I thought of uncommon cards as usually being better than the average common card. An awesome card that I downgraded to common was Infernal Kirin. Clearly Infernal Kirin is more powerful than any common known to man. I also classified cards as uncommon if they were high costed or if you would only want one of them in your deck. You would only want at most one Puppeteer in your deck and while Craw Wurm is sometimes a big threat he is fragile, so he is uncommon also.

7 Scrumptious Gumbo Recipes
Lucy Buffett's Winter Gumbo
Watch Lucy Buffett make her dark-roux gumbo here!
The self-taught chef and author of LuLu's Kitchen is famous for her dark-roux gumbo—a heady collision of cayenne, bacon fat, and filé powder—that has been something of a culinary lodestar. It was there for her in the mid-'80s, when she ditched her job in Fairhope, Alabama, and headed to Belize to cook for Harrison Ford on the set of The Mosquito Coast. Later, it was her way out of SoHo, when cooking aboard an Antiguan yacht proved more appealing than a degree from the French Culinary Institute. And in the late 1990s, it was Buffett's ticket home to coastal Alabama, where she eventually opened the first LuLu's location on Week's Bay in Fairhope.
Shrimp-and-Andouille Gumbo Dip
We put an app-worthy spin on classic gumbo with this delicious recipe. Start with Andouille sausage, red bell pepper, celery, green onions, sliced okra, garlic, shrimp, and creole seasoning over medium-high heat. After a few minutes of sautéing, stir in cream cheese and asiago. Crown the mixture with a panko and butter mixture, and place under the broiler for a few minutes to put the finishing touches on this crowd-pleasing dip. Serve it with breadsticks, veggie slices, crackers, or sliced baguette. The best part? It's ready in 30 minutes.
Shrimp-and-Crab Gumbo Over Grits
This recipe is as pretty as it is tasty, thanks to the pink of fresh shrimp, bright green okra slices, red broth (from canned tomatoes), and pearly white grits. If you're not a grits fan, you can sub in rice, but we recommend giving the lowcountry staple a try. And the whole shebang pairs beautifully with a cold beer jazzed up with a squeeze of lime.
Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo
This authentic little recipe uses the king of all sausages, spicy andouille, with fresh, peeled shrimp and traditional gumbo fixings. Start by simmering shrimp shells in chicken broth to add a rich flavor (or you can skip this step and start with store-bought peeled shrimp). Of course, the secret to a great gumbo is time (and lots of stirring). After cooking the sausage, you'll remove it and combine drippings with enough oil to equal ½ cup. Combine oil and flour in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat (about 35 – 40 minutes), whisking constantly, until your roux is chocolate brown.
Duck and Oyster Gumbo
The stars of this spin on the bayou-inspired classic are roasted duck and fresh oysters. The recipe calls for 5 to 6 cups of chopped duck meat as well as 8 cups of duck stock. For easy going on gumbo day, we recommend roasting ducks and preparing the broth the day before.
Scallop and Vegetable Gumbo
This colorful gumbo, which features a medley of vegetables, including lima beans, yellow corn, potato, and mushrooms, puts a hearty twist on the standard. Despite its strong showing of good-for-you ingredients, this recipe is not quite health food. And that's because it's studded with crisp bacon, which mingles beautifully with buttery scallops for a heavenly surf-and-turf pairing.
Lowfat Shellfish Gumbo
Heavy on shellfish and light on oil (you'll roast flour for an hour and 15 minutes instead of combining it with oil and stirring to make the roux), this healthier take on gumbo is a party favorite. With fresh shrimp, lump crabmeat, crawfish, and fresh oysters, it's a seafood lover's meal (and just a little bit easier on the diet, too).

"Sex and the Single Vamp is the perfect blend of dark and sexy." - #1 NYTimes Bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout
TREMENDOUS!! I have been a fan of Robin's since I stumbled across Playing the Part and fell in book LUST. Then I found out we were both natives of the tee-tiny town of Danville, Va., and it was kismet. When I discovered she also wrote PNR, my true passion, I knew it was meant to be. Sex and the Single Vamp merely confirms my intuition. There are no such things as coincidences. All signs pointed to my unchecked adoration of this book and it's characters. The Universe is wise and always correct. This was one of those best friend books. You know the type, you don't always approve of what they do, but you're there for them.
I spent a good twenty-five percent of the book wanting to beat Deacon over the head with my (yes, you know and love it) frying pan. Then I spent another 50 percent wanting to feed him cookies and wrap him in warm blankets. Then I just wanted to smack Cici and molest Deacon. (yeah, I know, perv, blah, blah, blah). Deacon was just soooo damn guarded. Bless his little undead heart, he was one emotionally terrified fanger. I don't believe I have ever run across an alpha who was so terribly uncertain about himself when it really counted.
I know it looks like I'm virtually ignoring Cici, but I admit I am herocentric,. Cici was a really, really together heroine. That's why I haven't said as much, because she handled her business, She was tight with the information she had. I looooved Cici. I could hang out with Cici. Robin Covington is aces with her heroines.
She can also throw the heat and the curve balls. She threw quite a few in this inferno of a romance. She caught this ole' romance vet flatfooted and that is quite a feat. Kudos to you, Robin! Ya done good! Job very well done! Brava.

Beyond the Greatest Hits: Talking Heads
There is more to Talking Heads than "Heaven."
Talking Heads thrived on radio play as "Psycho Killer" and "Burning Down the House" helped the band stay financially viable, allowing them to explore more risky territory on non-single cuts. Sure, "And She Was" and "Life During Wartime" and many of the other songs have been anthologized on hits collections, but the band's more darkly experimental music is equally important. If you already familiar with the songs we have selected here, you know that there is more to Talking Heads than "Heaven." If you don't, we hope you enjoy these unsung classics.
The second track on Talking Heads' debut was a strange, pseudo-disco romp with David Byrne's twitching vocals as always leading the song into deranged territory. The cracked note he squeals when he sings "I hear music and it sounds like bells!" is a particularly jarring and delightful moment. The other star here is that bouncing, shimmering wall of guitars, expertly provided by Jerry Harrison, which goaded Byrne into more delusional waters. It's good to know that even from the very beginning, Talking Heads had no pretensions towards being normal.
This sub two minute track is the shortest and, perhaps most absurd song on '77. Byrne's lyrics are fantastically simplistic, with his coos demanding the questions "Who is it?/ What is it?" be answered. The chugging guitar has a bit of rockabilly and a Buddy Holly influence. In the song's beautiful bridge, those spastic guitars calm down long enough to guide Byrne into admitting he's in love before he leaps back into insanity.
The closing track on '77 is one of Talking Heads' more conventional tracks, and it's surprising it never became a single like "Psycho Killer." Byrne addresses his hometown, his parents and maybe his bandmates as he recalls his ascension into the world of rock n' roll. Even before Talking Heads became one of the most influential bands of their time, Byrne was preparing his "I'd like to thank the academy" speech with this light post-punk nugget.
"First Week/Last Week…Carefree"
Remain in Light proved that Talking Heads were a rhythm based band, but even in their early days they knew the importance of a good backbone. The cooing xylophone gives the song a pleasant bounce along with the crackling maracas and bossa nova guitar groove. It's nearly tropical, and paired with the cheesy sax solo that comes half-way through, "Carefree" lives up to its title, delivering one of the few Talking Heads songs that can be truly thought of as relaxing.
More Songs About Buildings & Food
"Thank You For Sending Me an Angel"
Talking Heads' second album opens with what sounds like Byrne talking to himself in the mirror to someone who "can walk/ You can talk just like me!" That catchy march beat is a hint: this non-conformist art student is singing about lock-step conformity, a search for connection that only satisfies him when he finds someone exactly like him. In retrospect, this could have been an early sign of Byrne's reputation for being a control freak. But at this formative stage in the band's career, this catchy miniature passes for conceptual art, an anthem directed at the self, demanding action: "But first:/ Show me what you can do."
"The Girls Want To Be With the Girls"
Its repetitive piano-guitar riff is almost wistful and even recalls Philip Glass, but the lyrics are classic Byrne angst, delivered with a natural agitation that seems quaint now. But at the time, Byrne's downtown yelps were a startling and thoroughly uncommercial vocal approach. That sing-song music suggests a nursery rhyme, so Byrne's conflict isn't about sex but communication, lamenting that "Girls don't want to/ Play like that/ Just want to talk to the boys." The instrumental break proves that at least in this mixed-gender band, boys and girls play together just fine.
It can be hard to recall now how unusual this sounded almost 40 years ago, but if you were a pre-teen living through this time it was all too easy to offer a yelping impersonation of this quirky auteur. Talking Heads' early albums developed, perfected and then transcended a groundbreaking strain of nerd-funk, and Byrne is the ur-funky-nerd, the neurotic artist whose muse spurs strange vocal tics that are like rough vocal brushstrokes. His idiosyncrasies were once daring but have now become a comforting part of the mainstream. The band behind him was no slouch either, laying down oddly danceable music that comes out of equal parts garage rock, no wave and science fiction. These are More Songs About Buildings and Food in the grandest sense: futuristic dance-floor anthems that are about where and how we live.
Opening with funk chords that look forward to the sound they would flesh out over their next two albums, the stop-and-start rhythms take the avant-garde structures of, say, DNA and make something that they could at least pretend would be commercially viable. Byrne puts on airs of resistance: "'Cause I'm not in love/ What does it take to fall in love?/ Why would I want to fall in love?" But the album's single, a brilliant reworking of Al Green's "Take Me to the River," proves that they were just looking for another kind of salvation, physical or musical.
Lyrically, it's not the album's best song–lines like "religion won't change you, drugs won't change you" are a bit too close to solo-John Lennon territory for comfort. But it's the instrumental and vocal performances that matter. "Mind" may have the Heads' best riff, with spider webs of staccato guitar bridging the gaps between tinny piano chords. Byrne's vocals are at their most unhinged yet melodic; it's disarming to hear those sexy octave leaps on a song as unsettling as this. "Mind" is a far more promising introduction to Fear Of Music than the faux-African pop colonialism of "I Zimbra"; it's the perfect mix of mire and pop song.
With its one-word, noun-oriented song titles, Fear of Music plays like a laundry list of things besides music Byrne is scared of. On "Cities," he's freaking out just trying to figure out what city to live in. The contenders are London, Birmingham, and Memphis, all of which seem like pretty drab and dark places — Birmingham even has ghosts! Byrne just wants some time to "get some thinking done," which should suit him well given how overloaded his mind seems. "I smell home cooking!" he shrieks while touring Memphis; it's only "the river," which is somehow a relief in Byrne's world. Maybe a city isn't the best place for this guy anyway.
"Aaaaaaair," warns Tina Weymouth, as if predicting the coming of the Wicked Witch; in seconds, David Byrne's skin is already melting off. Yes, the invisible gas that allows us to live and breathe can hurt us too, and this is one of the cheeriest songs on Fear of Music. It's a great pure pop song, with a chorus that borders on bubblegum and a beautiful passage that tracks Byrne's air-related demise from ringing major to worried minor chords. This would have been one of the Heads' biggest hits in a perfect world. But a casual scan of the lyric sheet reveals why it's not.
Perhaps the most maligned song on the album, which makes sense as Byrne barely sings and his lyrics make little sense. But its impenetrability makes it thrilling. For years I thought this was an Aesop-type fable explaining how the electric guitar came to be controlled by a human rather than walking around and making noise by itself. But is there a moral? And what's with the subplot about vinyl? You can try and process the bits and pieces of the song and see what kind of story you can assemble, or you can let it wash over you in all its inexplicability.
After the relative reprieve of "Heaven," this comes as a shock, the album's most paranoid track following its most incongruous pop song. Things start out normally enough, but Byrne takes a wrong turn on guitar and soon enough he's screaming for dear life, surrounded by worrying visions of super-smart animals stalking him and giving him life advice. Soon enough we find out just why Byrne's pants are in such a bunch: he's jealous. Animals get to sleep all day, shit on the ground, and eat berries. "They're setting a bad example," he screams, presumably surrounded by paperwork and responsibilities.
"Born Under Punches (The Heart Goes On)"
One of the all-time great album openings, its funky guitar immediately drives Remain in Light into ambitious new territory, and its futuristic keyboard solo keeps it there. Lyrically, the nigh unending "And the heat goes on…" interludes carry the song into a cult-like revelry and support mysterious references to breathing and the "Hands of a government man." Talking Heads was as enigmatic and subversive as any rock group then making music, and "Born Under Punches" made that obvious from the get-go of their most sophisticated album yet. spectacular album.
The guitar is absolute fire on this wild, high BPM car chase around beautiful women and the power of their control. Overlapping vocals create a frenetic, schizophrenic atmosphere that never stops, driven on by high-energy percussion and a furtive ode to a mystery woman who is "only partly human" and "defines the possibilities." The guitar solo splits the song into two sections, giving way to as powerful and ecstatic a bridge as Talking Heads ever produced. Listening to David Byrne sing "A world of light/ She's going to upon our eyes up" is to witness a nearly religious ecstasy, devotion to a beauty and power blinding and ungraspable.
This insane, high-octane album ends with one of its slowest, most eerie songs, yet one no less enigmatic than the rest of the album. "A terrible signal," the song begins, perhaps referring to its own tremulous, high-pitched siren-scored opener, "too weak to even recognize." The guitar drones on a song that's hypnotic yet not lifeless, kept afloat by Byrne's almost monotone, yet somehow irresistible murmur, his lyrics just left of structured nonsense. Floating through the song's mesmerizing duration, it's easy to forget the energy that defined the preceding songs, as Byrne lulls the listener into what is an altogether false sense of security. "The Overload" is not the high heat of the explosion; it's the deafening silence of its aftermath, a world ravaged and wrecked by destruction, a dystopian chant at the end of a spellbinding album.
Sandwiched between a pair of hits in "Burning Down the House" and "Girlfriend is Better," this tends to get ignored on an album full of radio staples. But it has some of Byrne's best lyrics, and the subtle guitar play that enters in the background of the second verse amidst afro-percussive rhythms and a groovy bassline, along with a strange, almost out of place bridge at the halfway point, make it one of the more idiosyncratic offerings on an album by a band that thrives on idiosyncrasy.
Like "Making Flippy Floppy," this deep cut is sandwiched between better-known songs, though it lacks the upbeat, danceable bursts of the former. What it does, have is impressive gospel vocals. Perhaps because the band is so good at blending African rhythms and the avant-garde into pop music, you expect Talking Heads to find a groove quickly. But the synth beat here is a constant that stabilizes a typically smooth bassline by Tina Weymouth. Still, this doesn't prepare the listener for a spacey bridge (a favorite technique on the album) that goes through a number of phases before returning to the gospel refrain. Suddenly, it all makes sense: there was a great tune there the whole time.
Staccato bursts of one guitar slightly echo in another as Byrne says something about flying saucers and levitation. It may not sound like it on first listen, but this is among the stranger offerings in Talking Heads' catalogue. Distorted vocals do nothing to change that, but when Byrne suddenly starts to emote around the three-minute mark and claims to feel numb, the music seems to replicate that feeling. It comes back just as it was, and Byrne's claim to be a moon rock underscores the weirdness of the whole thing.
As the song begins, bassist Tina Weymouth seems poised to take the lead, but her vamp suddenly gets crowded out by odds bursts of sound from deeper within the mix until it suddenly all comes together for a chorus. Rather than settling into that structure, the song keeps building; the second chorus changes lyrically and musically, and then the vamp jazzes itself up and the music refuses to conform to a major key. The band seems content to keep pulling up, finding new musical treasures each step of the way, making this one of the most fascinating tracks on the album.
Little Creatures represents a tonal shift in the Talking Heads' canon. Gone are the more experimental flourishes in favor of coherent songs based largely in recognizable, established genres. On this track, Byrne explores the wonders of reproduction backed by a straight-ahead country feel. It's an odd juxtaposition, stylistically and thematically, but still manages to work thanks largely in part to Byrne's childlike wonder at the appearance of "little creatures" following a couple laying together. Sure it's a bit overly simplistic, but the imagery and accompanying music make it one of the more charming entries in their catalog.
One of several funk-tinged workouts on the album, this is perhaps the most Talking Heads-like song on the album. Jittery rhythms and cartoonish vocals wrapped in a vaguely Afro-centric melody draw the logical through line from their early albums, and prove that the band had not gone completely pop. As always, Byrne's slightly skewed take on the world around him is the lyrical centerpiece. Full of first-person pronouns and a wide array of additional instrumental backing, it shows off a more mature, focused Byrne without sacrificing the basic musical ideas on which the band was founded.
Perhaps more than any other track on the album, this sounds like the production of its time. Relying more on synths and sparse, almost mechanized drumming from Chris Franz, it sounds like 1985. But, unlike the other ephemeral, throwaway songs produced that same year, "Perfect World" possesses one of the loveliest chorus melodies Byrne ever came up with. Exploring the upper reaches of his range without falling back on bug-eyed straining, he posits himself as a legitimate pop singer. That you can dance to it as well is an added bonus.
As a band, Talking Heads always had a love/hate relationship with modern technology. In his inimitable way, Byrne explores our relationship with that most potent of technologies, the television. "Television made me what I am," he sings as images from the world outside come crashing into his home. Over an driving beat that eventually breaks down to a straight percussion break replete with wordless call-and-response, Byrne assures us that he and his television are "just good friends." Yet another critical assessment of contemporary society, it comes wrapped in a fairly wicked groove that makes the message go down just that much easier.
The band rocked harder than ever, but where Stop Making Sense was one of the great concert films, True Stories is a rock movie that dreams small and stays small. That may have been the point; but where their first four albums were each more instrumentally sophisticated than the last, this further return to basics after Little Creatures seems like a decline. On Remain in Light, a gospel chorus would have been part of a rich, living, forward-looking dialogue with other musical traditions; here it merely seems like a group of hired voices. Still, it's a catchy title hook that's smarter and catchier than the album's hit single.
Lyrics like "Piece of mind/ Is a piece of cake" on "Wild Wild Life" show the precipitous drop in Byrne's lyrical gift. So it's a wonder that this pleasantly hummable but relatively simple deep cut inspired the name of one of the most challenging musical groups of their time. "It's the sound of a brand new world" no longer describes Talking Heads at this musical juncture, but it would soon come to describe its progeny.
This pleasant, waltzing ballad revolves around a gentle title image that seems out of the head of a benign David Lynch, which is a fair description of the movie it comes from. Byrne's cut-up approach to lyrics resulted in obscure but fascinating wordplay. For this album and movie, Byrne turns into a well-meaning populist: "Every dream has a name/ And names tell your story" is a perfectly nice idea. But there was a time when Byrne was good for more than just nice ideas. When Byrne reaches for falsetto late in the song, it's a reminder that on Talking Heads' early albums, his signature neurotic high notes were an arthouse reinvention of the falsetto crooner.
Talking Heads riffed on country music all the way back on More Songs About Buildings and Food with "The Big Country." In those days Byrne was more indirect with his lyrical conceits, which may have seemed frustrating at the time. Here he puts it bluntly: "We don't want freedom/ We don't want justice/ We just want someone to love." But the song's strongest image comes from the kind of small detail Byrne used to toss off so easily: "Who will answer the telephone?" The song's title may well answer its own question.
The much, much, much younger brother of "First Week/Last Week…Carefree," this was another beachside trip in Talking Heads' catalogue. Sunny synths accompany Byrne's descriptions of a "nature boy, nature man" and his obsession with water continues with the claim that "I'm a little fish and you're the river." He later recounts a "polka party" at the bottom of the ocean after a shipwreck. Despite that dark imagery, "Totally Nude" still has a child-like sense of the world, where everything's just a little more colorful.
Johnny Marr might have added his guitar work here, but the song's very DNA is encoded with drums; thumping, rolling, thunderous drums. Guest Brice Wassy combined his talents with Frantz to create the rollicking intro of primal drum work that served as the track's foundation. Airy guitars and Byrne's wayward coos and detailed pictures of stormy waters are just icing on the cake.
What a short story to fit into four minutes. On the easiest level, it's about a long family road trip through the eyes of the kids sitting in the backseat with Byrne singing that he's "sleeping on my daddy's shoulder." But the details of feet covered in blisters and the admission that "we're not going home" cast a dark shadow. Is it a mass exodus from a natural disaster? An escape from violence in some distant country? Byrne never says, but his unreliable narrator only makes the story that much more mesmerizing.
The late days of the Reagan administration weren't exactly happy days (unless you were a Gordon Gekko type), but it did produce some blistering political art. Over a breezy backdrop, Byrne lazily talks about a strange circus wandering into town with unfurling flags, guns and signs of a forced draft. Just after Byrne plays a switcheroo with "And when the ringmaster calls our names/ We'll be the first ones to go… to sleep" the music takes on a more muscular, dangerous tone. Byrne evokes Dylan as he howls that it's "Gonna rain! Gonna Rain! Gonna
rain!" leaving no doubt that it's a perfect day for an airstrike.

During much of the past four years, the conventional political narrative seemed to assume that Newton's First Law of Motion applies to the economy. The repeated insinuation was that, "An economy in recession will remain in recession unless acted upon by the outside force of government."
Such a belief on the part of the electorate serves well a president who takes office near the end of a recession. Even if that new president does nothing and manages not to create too much uncertainty, economic activity will recover naturally. The new president would then be associated with the recovery. But to be sure that political credit redounds to the president, a few innocuous policy actions — call it "stimulus" — could be enacted.
That is what President Barack Obama threw away. Instead of doing as little harm as possible, or removing the already existing policies and regulations that hinder economic activity, he expanded the power of government to make demands on our economic lives. Taking advantage of Democratic Party majorities in both houses of Congress, he pushed through the incomprehensibly large health-care and financial policy reforms — neither of which will prove to be better than innocuous.
Both of these reforms have created regulatory entities that are self-replicating and open-ended. It is now far more difficult for businesses, let alone individuals, to plan for the future. Although uncertainty is a natural part of life, the size and scope of these new regulatory intrusions will drain resources into compliance efforts and raise the cost of both medical insurance and financial prudence.
We cannot even be sure what our tax rates will be next year. The recent health-care reform imposes new taxes as well as other possible fines and burdens, and the Obama administration is pressing for increases in at least some of our income-tax rates. This is what makes the uncertainty of the Obama era qualitatively different from that of better-performing previous administrations.
Professor Robert Barro of Harvard University and Stanford's Hoover Institution has compared recent economic growth rates to those of previous administrations since World War II. He notes that current growth rates are significantly below the long-term average of 3.1 percent and suggests that it is not unreasonable to expect above-average growth during a recovery. GDP growth has averaged only 2.4 percent during the past three years, and in the first quarter of 2012 was only 1.8 percent. Mr. Barro concludes that this low growth means that "the U.S. economy has actually been falling further and further behind the normal trend. Therefore, it is not a recovery at all."
To Barro, the recent recession and financial crisis is no excuse. He notes that deeper recessions usually yield faster recoveries and, although real estate crashes are associated with slower recoveries, current growth rates are still well below what would be expected.
Barro believes that the Obama administration does not understand the importance of individual incentives and that its policies have served to raise the cost of work. Also, its Keynesian-style demand stimulus and attempts at industrial policy have failed. Instead, he suggests, the government should "get its fiscal house in order and make meaningful long-term reforms to entitlement programs and the tax structure."
This translates into a lower tax burden, a lower regulatory burden, and greater clarity about future government policies. But the Obama administration persists in taking us in the opposite direction.
