Inferior hair straighteners take a very long time to heat, and you really need to make sure that they're on their highest setting to have any effect. But that means getting lots of split ends, and you hair often looks frizzy, dry, and generally unhealthy. And once you go outside, if ever you live in an area that's a bit humid the straight hair quickly goes to its default pouf settings.
Lightweight Feel: If you style your hair with a straightener every day, you know how taxing it can get to hold a heavy product above your head while you utilise its magic. Thankfully, one of the key elements of the original ghd V Gold Styler has been maintained in the new model — its lightweight feel. We promise your arms won't ache even after a solid session using this straightener!


text: I am, as the whole nation and the world, are heartbroken.My heart aches for the survivors. Many "if only" thoughts arise when tragic things happen, and many knee jerk quick fix solutions offered. Given time for cooler heads to prevail I am sure you and the legislature will come to a conclusion I have. With 250 million firearms in circulation and a plethora of existing state and federal gun laws in place further gun control is only political grandstanding.My point of view is if you want to know why these things happen at the hands of deranged people, look back to the Reagan administration. Cutbacks at that time and decisions made by government administrators, signed off on by the White house, allowed for the release of thousands of mental patients onto the streets. As long as they were deemed "not to be a danger" at the time, they were discharged. Discharged to fend for themselves, neglect medication, in many cases live on the streets. These cuts and others still stand, easy to cut the budgets of people who cannot complain. Through this lack of regular medication many of them turned from being "not a danger" to something entirely different. Time and time again when left to medicate themselves these mentally ill people simply will choose not to. Let us please look at a society that allows it's mentally unstable and dangerous to walk among them.

Posted on May 6, 2015, a woman found a disgusting note on her car due to the lack of awareness of invisible disabilities being a disability.
A while ago I shared the open letter to the woman who tutted at me for using the accessible toilets and then started a campaign called More Than Meets The Eye to raise awareness of invisible disabilities.
I know that having an illness or disability that can't be easily seen opens you up to the judgement and abuse of others.
But I was shocked to read about a PhD student at the University of York who was left upset and in disbelief when she came back to her car with her 13 year old son to find a note attached abusing her for parking in a disabled space.
'Being fat and ugly doesn't count as disabled – (park elsewhere)' read the note found by Sarah Metcalfe's son.
Sarah, 35, has chronic illness Fibromyalgia, an invisible disability that causes pain, chronic fatigue and muscle stiffness. After parking her car in a disabled space at a Tesco store on Thursday 30 April, the mum returned to the hand written note left by a judgmental passer by despite being entitled to park due to her illness.

For Skywatch Friday this week (and the lack of interesting sky) I decided to cheat a bit and use a picture from last month of an almost full moon. Not a very good picture I know but sky nevertheless.
Speaking of moons - I'm almost done for the second time with New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. I figured that since the film is due out next month I had better revisit the book to refresh my memory. I picked up on quite a few things this time that I missed last time. Beats me how Jacob can be described in the book as huge and well over 6ft 5 and Taylor Lautner - the actor playing him is only 5ft 10. Anyway in honour of moons and reading the Twilight series again here are the Twilight mittens again.

Leicester flanker Neil Back immediately turned his attention to qualifying for next season's Heineken Cup after watching the Tigers tumble out of Europe with a 26-13 defeat by Stade Francais.
The French champions slipped into the quarter-finals with an emphatic victory over Leicester, who had performed heroics in clawing their way back into the tournament reckoning with victories over Ulster and Gwent Dragons.
But last night Stade proved too strong, competing on equal terms in the first half and then expertly shutting out the match in the second as the Tigers' European dream was extinguished for another season.
Dean Richards' men now face the prospect of a campaign without Heineken Cup rugby thanks to their lowly position in the Zurich Premiership - the wildcard competition is their only hope and Back understands the challenge now facing Leicester.
"It is disappointing to lose in the manner that we did. Now it is a long, hard road back to qualify again. But we will keep on building and we won't give in," said the England flanker and Tigers skipper.
"We can still qualify through the wildcard and that is what we will do.
"The Heineken Cup is the premier competition in Europe and we are always in it, we always want to be involved. We will give qualifying our best shot."
Leicester were the architects of their own downfall last night as they used four different kickers during the match but only managed a solitary penalty - a criminal return which was always going to spell disaster against a side like Stade.
Geordan Murphy and Sam Vesty were unavailable through injury, robbing the Tigers of their two first choice kickers, and Steve Booth, Luke Myring, Ramiro Pez and Jaco van der Westhuyzen all failed to prove capable deputies.
It was fortunate that Leicester had started strongly with tries from Harry Ellis and Ollie Smith, otherwise the former two-time European champions could have been staring down the barrel of a humiliating defeat.
"Our kicking was not the only difference between the two sides, but it was a problem. Steve has got a high percentage rate but it didn't work out for him - and then he went off with a foot injury," said Leicester director of rugby Richards.
"Luke took over and he has got a similar strike rate but his hamstring went and that prevented him from carrying on.
"And then there was Ramiro - he is another good kicker but again it didn't happen."
In contrast, Stade's Italian master Diego Dominguez was peerless with the boot, completing all six of his kicks and finishing the match with a 21-point haul after running in an injury-time try.
"Diego was brilliant - he is a superb kicker and it was his accuracy that proved the difference.
"I always thought it might come down to penalties and that's why I selected him," said Stade coach Nick Mallett.

Veterans Treatment Courts: Analysis and Recommendations
Frederick, A. (2014). Veterans Treatment Courts: Analysis and Recommendations. Law & Psychology Review, 38211-230.
This note examines the creation of veterans treatment courts, a type of problem-solving court specifically for veterans, as a response to the increasing number of incarcerated veterans in the United States. Specifically, this note explores the history and development of veterans treatment courts, the operation and key components of the program, and the impact of applying its methodology. It also identifies and responds to the common criticisms of the system. Finally, this note concludes by providing recommendations for applying the mentor aspect of the program to other problem-solving courts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After a decade of war, there is a great need for treatment and alternatives to incarceration for justice-involved veterans. U.S. military service members are returning from combat with substantial mental health challenges, which increase the potential for justice involvement. Veteran Treatment Courts are starting across the nation to meet this need for therapeutic justice. These problem solving courts provide access to treatment and motivation for engagement. Preliminary evidence from a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration-funded evaluation suggests that significant improvements in posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use are just a few of the positive outcomes that these courts may help veterans achieve.

Critical concerns in Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran-forensic interface: Veterans treatment court as diversion in rural communities.
Smee, D. E., McGuire, J., Garrick, T., Sreenivasan, S., Dow, D., & Woehl, D. (2013). Critical concerns in Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran-forensic interface: Veterans treatment court as diversion in rural communities. Journal Of The American Academy Of Psychiatry And The Law, 41(2), 256-262.
The veteran-forensic interface is an emerging area of relevance to forensic clinicians assessing or treating returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans facing criminal sanctions. Veterans' Treatment Court (VTC) represents a recent diversion mechanism for low-level offenses that is based on a collaborative justice model. Thirty-nine percent of veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and receiving VA services reside in rural areas. Rural veterans facing criminal justice charges may be at a disadvantage due to limited access to forensic psychiatrists with relevant expertise in providing veterans services for diversion. Therefore, widening the pool of forensic clinicians who have such expertise, as well as knowledge of the signature wounds of the wars as related to aggression and reckless behavior is necessary. This article presents an overview of VTCs and discusses the role of forensic clinicians as stakeholders in this process.
Veterans Courts: Early Outcomes and Key Indicators for Success
Holbrook, J. & Anderson, S. (2011). Veterans Courts: Early outcomes and key indicators for success. Social Science Research Network. Retrieved from http://ssrn.com/abstract=1912655
The growing trend within the judicial, treatment, and advocacy communities toward specialized courts for military veterans raises important questions about the effectiveness of such courts in rehabilitating veterans. Both principally and practically, veterans courts observers may take opposing positions regarding the appropriateness and effectiveness of placing veterans in a specialized, treatment-based court program simply because of their military service. This chapter explores these challenging issues in two parts. First, we undertake a discussion of first principle concerns related to veterans courts by reviewing research studies examining the link between veterans and criminal misconduct. The return of 1.6 million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has re-ignited the still unsettled controversy over whether veterans suffering from combat trauma are more likely than their non-veteran counterparts to commit criminal misconduct after returning home. While firm conclusions may be difficult (and unpopular) to draw, the issue warrants attention in any serious discussion about the merits and best practices of veterans court programs. Second, we present early findings from an assessment we conducted of the practices, procedures, and participant populations of certain veterans courts operating as of March 2011. Of the 53 courts invited to participate, 14 provided a response by completing either an online or paper survey. Of these, seven submitted sample policies and procedures, participant contracts, plea agreements, and mentor guidelines for our review. Drawing on these courts' common practices and procedures, we identify key operational components courts should consider in implementing veterans court programs. We also conclude that veterans court outcomes, at least at present, appear at least as favorable as those of other specialized treatment courts.

Veterans' Courts and Criminal Responsibility: A Problem Solving History & Approach to the Liminality of Combat Trauma

In September 2010, a federal judge dismissed a criminal case involving a veteran accused of assaulting a federal police officer to allow the case to be heard by the Buffalo Veterans Treatment Court, a division of Buffalo City Court. For those involved in veterans' advocacy and treatment, the case is significant for a number of reasons. First, it is the first criminal case nationwide to be transferred from federal court to a local veterans treatment court where the goal is to treat - rather than simply punish - those facing the liminal effects of military combat. Second, the case reignites the still unsettled controversy over whether problem-solving courts generally, and veterans courts specifically, unfairly shift the focus of justice away from the retributive interests of victims to the rehabilitative interests of perpetrators. Third, the case serves as a signal reminder to all justice system stakeholders, including parties, judges, attorneys, and treatment professionals, of the potential benefits of sidestepping courtroom adversity in favor of a coordinated effort that seeks to ameliorate victim concerns while advancing treatment opportunities for veterans suffering from combat-related trauma. This chapter explores these issues in light of the history of combat-related trauma and the development of veterans' treatment courts around the country.
Coming Home: Accommodating the Special Needs of Military Veterans to the Criminal Justice System
Hawkins, M. D. (2010). Coming Home: Accommodating the Special Needs of Military Veterans to the Criminal Justice System. Ohio State Journal Of Criminal Law, 7(2), 563-573.
Large numbers of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans are returning home with serious mental and emotional problems. In response to their impact on the criminal justice system, several jurisdictions have established veterans courts. Patterned after the early intervention and intensive supervision protocols of drug courts, these courts are designed to address the particular needs of these veterans. Focusing on nonviolent offenses and relying on a treatment rather than punishment model, early reports suggest the efforts are working to address the profound stress many veterans have experienced and the difficult adjustment to civilian life they face when returning home.

Should Problem Solving Courts be Solution-Focused Courts?
King, Michael S., Should Problem Solving Courts be Solution-Focused Courts? (December 13, 2010). Revista Juridica Universidad de Puerto Rico, Forthcoming; Monash University Faculty of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2010/15.
Drug courts, family violence courts, mental health courts, community courts and variations of these courts have commonly been considered to be problem-solving courts. Implicit in the concept of and literature on these courts is the idea that it is the court that solves participants' problems, often with the assistance of a multi-disciplinary team. However behavioral science research suggests that positive behavioural change involves the individual's own internal processes and actions, albeit often assisted by treatment and support services. Rather than seeking to solve participants' problems, these courts should be taking a solution-focused approach, supporting participants' own change processes and facilitating their involvement with treatment and support agencies as needed. Such an approach avoids coercion and paternalism, promotes participant involvement in decision making and problem-solving concerning their rehabilitation, uses persuasion and motivational interviewing techniques where appropriate and supports participant self-efficacy. This approach is more likely to promote long-lasting behavioral change than a problem-solving approach. However further research is needed concerning the efficacy of particular judicial processes in these courts.

Note: You'll find a few more pasta recipes in the Seafood section
Pasta with chicken and mushrooms, risotto style
Inspired by a Mark Bittman recipe. Cooking pasta this way gives a very creamy, rich result.
1/2 lb raw pasta (see note below)
3 TB olive oil
1/2c chopped onion
3 cloves minced garlic
2c sliced mushrooms (shitake are more flavorful but the standard white 'stools work fine too)
3-4c chicken stock
2c diced cooked chicken
Use a heavy 4 quary saucepan. Heat the oil over medium heat and add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown. Add the pasta and stir for 1-2 minutes until the pasta is coated with the oil. Add 1/2c stock and stir almost constantly until the liquid is almost gone. Continue adding stock 1/2c at a time, stirring until the liquid is almost gone, then repeating. After 10 min start testing the pasta for doneness - the total time will depend on the type of pasta used. Note that you may not use all the stock. When the pasta is done to your liking, stir in salt and pepper to taste and add the chicken. Cover and let sit for a few minutes, then serve (with grated Parmesan if desired).
Note: You can use pretty much any shape of pasta for this, including long pasta broken into short lengths. My favorite is fusilli. Use a good quality pasta such as de Cecco (of course!).
Vegetarian lasagna
The sauce:
1/2c diced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3c each diced carrot, green pepper, and celery
1/4c olive oil
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried Italian herb blend
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 piece lemon peel (perhaps 1/4 of a lemon worth)
1-28oz can diced or crushed tomatoes, with juice
1-28oz can pureed tomatoes
1-6oz can tomato paste
1c dry red wine
Worcestershire sauce*
* Omit this if you are a strict vegetarian because it contains anchovies.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the vegetables. Sauté over medium heat, stirring, until the onion is transparent and the garlic is showing a faint trace of brown. Add the bay, herbs, and pepper and stir for a moment. Add the 3 tomato items and then stir in the lemon peel and wine. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes or until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Remove the bay leaf and lemon peel and stir in a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Taste and add salt if needed.
The assembly and final cooking:
1 lb lasagna noodles
1/2c chopped onion
1 TB olive oil
1-1/2 lbs frozen chopped spinach
8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4c chopped fresh parsley
2 lb ricotta cheese
3 eggs
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4lb parmesan, Romano, or asiago cheese, grated
1 recipe sauce (above) at room temperature
Put the spinach in a colander and allow to thaw and drain. Use your fingers to squeeze out as much of the remaining water as possible.
Sauté the mushrooms in the oil for a few minutes and then add the onions. Continue until the onions are wilted and the mushrooms have given up their water (or else the lasagna will be soggy). Allow to cool.
Mix the ricotta, parmesan, spinach, beaten eggs, mushroom/onion mixture. Add some black pepper and taste for salt. If you do not want to taste raw eggs, add them at the end after you have corrected the salt.
Cook the lasagna noodles in boiling salted water for about 2/3 of the time recommended on the package. This keeps them firm and easy to handle - they will finish cooking later. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Spread a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom of a 14x10x3 inch lasagna pan (or use 2 smaller pans). Top with a single layer of noodles, cutting the noodles if needed to fill gaps - do not overlap. Spread a layer of the cheese mixture on the noodles, sprinkle on some mozzarella, and top with sauce. Repeat additional layers in the same order. Ideally you will end with a layer of noodles with a final layer of sauce over them, but it's not critical as long as the topmost layer is sauce.
Note: I always have some leftover noodles. Just save them and use in soup, etc.
Cover the pan with foil. You can cook it immediately or refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Bake, covered, at 350f for 45 minutes (50 if it had been refrigerated). Remove the foil and bake for another 15 min. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 min before serving.
Pasta with artichoke hearts and cream
1 package (9 oz) frozen artichoke hearts
1/2 red bell pepper
1c sliced mushrooms
1/2c chopped fresh basil
1c heavy cream
2 TB olive oil
1 TB flour
1/2 lb of some medium-sized tubular pasta
Romano cheese
Thaw and drain the artichoke hearts. If necessary, cut them into quarters lengthwise. Cut the red pepper into 1/2 inch strips. You want about equal amounts of hearts, peppers, and mushrooms.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the 3 veggies and sauté, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add S&P as desired. Add the flour and stir for a minute or so. Add the cream and basil and simmer, stirring, until thickened.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta per directions and drain. Add to the sauce and mix. Serve with shaved Romano on top.
Pasta with zucchini
Easy to cook and delicious, this dish really says "summer" to me. Serves 4.
6 small zucchini (6" long and 1" in diameter)
2 lb fresh ripe tomatoes
2/3c olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/2c diced onion
1/3c diced carrot
1 lb pasta (I suggest spaghetti or linguini)
Heat 1/3c oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add the carrot and continue for another 4-5 minutes. Add the coarsely chopped tomatoes and their juice (you may skin them if you like but I do not think it is necessary). Simmer uncovered until reduced and thickened - this may take 30 minutes or it may take longer depending on the tomatoes and how you like the sauce. Add salt to taste.
Cook the pasta according to directions. Try to time the pasta so it is done while the zucchini are cooking. Drain, return to pan, and mix in a ladle-full of sauce.
Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick skillet. Add the garlic clove, peeled
and cut into quarters, and cook until just beginning to color. Remove garlic and
discard. When oil is quite hot, cut zucchini in half lengthways and then in half
crossways. Add to pan and sauté, tossing frequently, until zucchini is lightly
browned and barely cooked thru. It is essential not to overcook the zucchini -
you want a bit of "crunch"
remaining in the center.
Divide the pasta among 4 plates. Put some more sauce on top, then the zucchini. Serve with lots of freshly grated Romano cheese.
This is a traditional Sicilian recipe and can be exceptionally good. More than most recipes, this one depends on top quality ingredients. If your tomatoes are not quite ripe, or the eggplant are a bit on the old side, make something else!
2 lb ripe tomatoes, plum-type or regular, coarsely chopped
3 cloves of garlic
2 medium onions, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 medium or 3 small eggplant
A big handful of fresh basil, cut into thin strips
Olive oil
Slice eggplant (unpeeled) into 3/4 inch slices. Cover with salted water and, if necessary, a plate to keep them submerged. Soak for 1 hour then drain and dry on paper towels. While the eggplant is soaking put the tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a saucepan and simmer until it has reached the desired thickness. Put through a food mill and return to the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir in basil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Drizzle with high quality olive oil just before serving. sauté the eggplant in olive oil until cooked through and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Serve sauce and eggplant over pasta, preferably spaghetti. Sprinkle generously with salted ricotta cheese. If you cannot find salted ricotta you can use crumbled feta or pecorino.
I originally got this recipe from my mother. It is exceptionally good, particularly when made with garden-fresh kale. It is healthy as hell, too!
1 large bunch fresh kale (don't use old kale, it will taste awful)
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3c olive oil
1-16 oz can white beans (Great Northern or navy), drained with 1/2 c of liquid reserved *
Carefully wash kale and trim stems away from the leaves. Coarsely chop leaves (1-2" pieces). You should have 4-6 cups although the exact amount is not critical. Sauté onion and garlic in oil in a skillet until transparent (do not brown). Add kale and cover. Cook slowly for about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. By this time the kale will have cooked down to a manageable volume. Keep cooking slowly, covered, until the kale is tender to your liking. Depending on the kale this can take anywhere from 5-20 minutes more. Mix in the beans and liquid, cook for another few minutes. Correct seasoning and serve over pasta sprinkled with plenty of Parmesan cheese. Crusty bread and a crisp Italian white wine go well with this dish.
* If you prefer, cook 1/2c dried beans according to package directions. Reserve 1/2c cooking liquid.
This is a traditional lasagna recipe that I have developed over the years, drawing from many recipes in cookbooks and magazines and making changes until I got it just the way I like it.
1-28 oz can diced tomatoes (I use Hunts)
1-12 oz can tomato paste (I use Hunts here too)
1c diced onion
1/2c each diced carrots and celery
1 TB finely minced garlic
1 tsp sugar
1/2 TB salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 lb ground chuck
2 spicy Italian sausages
1 lb ricotta
1 lb whole or part skim milk mozzarella (do not use the pre-shredded pizza cheese)
1/3c each grated parmesan, romano, and asiago, mixed
1 lb lasagna noodles (I use DeCecco's short, wide noodles).
A 9x13x2 inch baking pan.
In a large sauce pan, place the sausages and 1/2c water. Cook over medium heat until the water is evaporated and the sausage is browned and cooked through. Remove sausage, let cool, and slice thinly.
Add 2 TB olive oil to the pan and sauté the onion, celery, and carrot for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for a couple minutes more. Add the ground chuck, raise the heat, and cook, stirring, until the meat has lost its pink color. At this time you may want to check to see how much fat the meat has produced and, if desired, remove it using a bulb baster. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, water, salt, sugar. and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Have another pot of cold water ready. Put 4 noodles in the pan and cook for half the recommended time (4 minutes for the DeCecco). Remove to the cold water, keeping noodles flat, then place cooled noodles on a towel until you need them. Repeat until all the noodles are partially cooked.
Put a layer of sauce in the bottom of the pan, followed by a layer of noodles. Cut noodles as needed to fit - do not overlap. Then repeat layers of sauce/sausage/ricotta/mozzarella/grated cheese and then noodles again. Do not worry about spreading the ricotta in a perfectly even layer. You can scatter tablespoon-size blobs and it will spread out during cooking. Finish with a layer of noodles followed by sauce, mozzarella, and grated cheeses. I always seem to have 4-5 noodles left over, and save them for soup.
Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes, until lasagna is bubbling around the edges and browned on top. If the top seems to be browning too fast, cover with foil. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
Meatballs are one of my favorite "comfort foods." At least good meatballs are! It is so easy to make good ones, and here's my favorite recipe, modified from Marcella Hazan's Classic Italian Cooking.
1 lb ground chuck
2 slices homestyle white bread, crusts removed
1/2 c milk
1/4c minced onion
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated black pepper
1/2 tsp salt (approximately)
3 TB grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
fine dry breadcrumbs (optional)
Tear the bread into pieces. Bring the milk to a boil and pour over the bread, stirring so the bread absorbs the milk. Let cool then add to a large bowl with all other ingredients except the bread crumbs. Mix gently but thoroughly using your fingers. A prime cause of rubbery meatballs is too much handling, so take it easy! The goal is not a completely uniform paste but a mixture where some pieces of bread are still distinct. Pinch off a tablespoon of the mixture and cook in in a small frypan. Taste and add more salt to the mixture if needed. Form into balls 1 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter, again being as gentle as possible. At this point in the recipe, opinions diverge as regards cooking the meatballs. There are three schools of thought:
1. Drop the meatballs into your simmering tomato sauce. Cover and cook for at least an hour. Do not stir until they have cooked for at least 20 minutes - this lets the eggs set and makes the meatballs more resistant to breaking up. You may need to skim accumulated fat off the sauce before serving. This cooking method lets the flavors of the sauce and meatballs meld.
2. Roll the meatballs in the breadcrumbs and sauté slowly in olive oil, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through, about half an hour. Serve separately from the sauce. This method keeps the meatball and sauce flavors separate.
3. Follow method 2 but sauté the meatball just until browned, then add to the sauce. The middle road approach.
Duck ragu
I modified this recipe from one in the cookbook "Balsamico!" by Pamela Sheldon Johns. This is a wonderful cookbook for balsamic vinegar lovers.
1 duck
2-28 oz cans chopped tomatoes, drained with juice reserved, or the equivalent in peeled and seeded fresh tomatoes.
1-1/2c diced onion
2/3c diced carrot
2/3c diced celery
3 TB olive oil
1/4c balsamic vinegar*
1/4c minced Italian parsley
2 tsp minced fresh rosemary, or dried
1 tsp fresh, or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1-1/2 lbs fresh fettuccini
Remove the meat from the duck, discarding the skin and bones or using them
for another purpose. Put the meat thru the coarse blade of a meat grinder, and
set aside. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion, carrot, and
celery over medium heat for a few minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the
ground duck. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the duck looses its raw color and
starts to brown. Reduce the heat and add the vinegar, scraping up any browned
bits clinging to the pan. Add the drained tomatoes and herbs. Cover and simmer
over low heat for 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and if
necessary add some of the reserved tomato juice to achieve the desired
consistency. Simmer for 10 more minutes, and check seasoning. Cook the fettuccini
al dente and toss with the sauce.
* There is no need to use the super-expensive balsamic vinegar here, although I am sure it would taste great if you can afford it!
Pasta with shrimp
Invented by my father. This recipe has no amounts specified so is best attempted by the experienced cook.
Cut large shelled shrimp into thirds, or use whole smaller shrimp. Make stock from the shells, then reduce it quite a bit. Grind together garlic and ginger. Add a little sake and grind some more. Let the shrimp pieces marinate in this for an hour or so. Then mix with the stock and some more sake to the consistency you want. Heat till shrimp pieces are done - it doesn¹t take long. Put it on your pasta, then sprinkle with toasted pine nuts. S&P to taste.
Macaroni and Cheese
Adapted from an Alton Brown recipe.
1/2 pound cavatappi (preferred) or elbow macaroni (see note)
3 TB butter
3 TB flour
2 tsp powdered mustard (Coleman's preferred)
2-1/2c milk, warmed
1/2 diced onion
2 bay leaves
1 tsp paprika (preferred) or a couple of dashes of Tabasco sauce
1 large egg
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated or diced
Salt and pepper to taste
The topping:
1c panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
2 TB butter
Cook the paste al dente and drain.
In a 2 qt saucepan, melt the 3 TB butter and add the flour and mustard powder. Stir over medium heat for a few minutes until completely blended with no lumps. Do not let the flour brown. Stir in the milk, onion, paprika/hot sauce, and bay leaves. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add a healthy grinding of black pepper. Beat the egg and stir it in rapidly so that it does not set before mixed. Add 3/4 of the cheese and stir, over low heat, until it is all incorporated. Remove from heat; taste for salt and add some more if needed. Stir in the pasta and pour into a greased casserole dish. Distribute the remaining cheese on top.
Melt the 2 TB butter and stir in the panko. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
Bake at 350f for 45 minutes.
Note: I think of cavatappi as elbow macaroni that went to finishing school. They are a bit longer, and sort of spiral in shape, and the outside is ridged, better to hold sauces and the like. De Cecco is one brand that is widely available.

lazy vegan recipe: fried rice
Hello there! You may or may not know this, but I'm vegan. But that doesn't mean that I want to spend half my life cooking. I didn't suddenly turn into an amazing cook when I decided to go vegan, nor did it make me want to try outlandish recipes that have 67 ingredients, 42 steps, and only a three hour cooking time! I'm guessing there are other vegans out there like me, so I decided to share some actually simple vegan recipes here on my blog. Often, there will be a gluten free or super cheap option as well! Today we are cooking…
fried rice
Serves: Two massive bowls, three moderate bowls
What You'll Need:
– 1 cup of rice (I use Jasmine because it's yummy but you can use whatever tickles your fancy)
– 2 cups of frozen vegetables (I use onion, peas, corn, and capsicum, but again you can use whatever you want!)
– 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce (to taste)
– 1 tablespoon of oil (I use olive, you can use whatever!)
– sprinkle of pine nuts (these are high in iron)
How You'll Cook It:
1) Bring a pot of water to the boil and then add rice (yes, I cook my rice by boiling but you can also use the absorption method)
2) After you've added the rice to your pot, put your saucepan on a medium heat and add the oil. Put the two cups of frozen veggies in the microwave
3) When the veggies are cooked, toss them in the saucepan with a sprinkle of pine nuts. When the rice is cooked, add that to the pan as well
4) Stir in the soy sauce, and cook until sizzling and non-sticky
5) Serve and eat!
Gluten Free Option:
Use a gluten free soy sauce! Kikkoman does one, and I just found out that Fountain soy sauce is gluten free, as well
Under $5 Option:
Coles brand rice – $1.40
Coles brand soy sauce – $1.90
Coles brand mixed frozen vegetables (which are actually not crappy!) – $1.60
Total: AUD $4.90
(Coles brand pine nuts are only $3.80 and last for a long time cause they're so tiny, so it you wanted to add them the meal is still under $10 :D)
So there you have it! A super simple vegan recipe for fried rice. This is absolutely one of my go-to meals cause the prep time is short, and the end result is both yummy and good for you, which is awesome. If you try this one, let me know what you think!
All my love,

Four Reasons You Can't Stop Eating
It can be incredibly frustrating when you're trying to get fit but it seems like you just can't stop eating. For many people, bad habits top the list of reasons why they can't stop eating. The good news is that by seeing where the problem is, you can begin to correct it. A focus on change and implementing a useful meal management system will quickly have you back on the right track.
Skipping Meals
Who hasn't done this? It's super easy to rush right along into your day, ditching breakfast and lunch in order to get more work done. Yet, this means you'll eat more at dinner, since your hormones haven't been able to tell your brain all day that you've stopped feeling hungry (because you probably haven't). A meal management system effectively combats this problem. If your breakfast and lunch are packed and ready to go when you are, you have no reason to skip them.
Not Getting Enough Sleep
This is one of the easiest, and worst, bad habits to fall into in terms of the effects it has on your body. The Mayo Clinic found that people who slept an hour and 20 minutes less than usual ended up eating an average of 549 calories more than usual the following day. It seems that this may be a result of the effect sleep has on hormonal levels that control appetite. If you can't stop eating, get more sleep.
Empty Calories
Eating foods with empty calories like chips, candy, cookies and other treats are essentially made out of nothing but carbs and sugar. This means that you can easily feel like you can't stop eating them without ever feeling satisfied. Avoid these empty calories in favor of nutrient-rich foods that you can easily organize ahead of time with your meal management system.
Not Drinking Enough Water
If you feel like you can't stop eating, more water might just be the answer. The average person should consume between nine and thirteen cups of water a day. (Less for women, more for men.) The American Chemical Society conducted a study in which they discovered that people who drank two cups of water prior to their meal ate 75-90 less calories. So even if you don't feel thirsty, make sure you drink water with every meal.
Feeling like you can't stop eating isn't the end of the world. Chances are, one of these bad habits is the culprit. A proper meal management system and a good night's rest will keep you feeling satisfied throughout the day. A healthy body cultivates a rewarding life, in which you can meet all your fitness goals and needs.

BSH presentation on Telehealth leads to article in Future Cardiology
Dr Kevin Goode gave a presentation at the British Society for Heart Failure meeting in London (Nov 2013) which has lead to a commissioned opinion article appearing in the March edition of the journal Future Cardiology.
"...as telehealth becomes more sophisticated and perhaps the only economic option for the delivery of chronic disease management, might we see a shift from self-management to one of surveillance by the state?"
"Indeed, given the societal costs of nonadherence, what responsibility does the state have to ensure that patients comply with their medication?"
GOODE, K. M. 2014. Telehealth for heart failure management: patient empowered self-care or surveillance by the nanny state? Future Cardiol, 10, 175-8.

We're constantly getting in new items at the store. Most of it is very beautiful outdoor furniture, pots and plants. Some of it is "kitch" or accessory items. The other day we received such a shipment and in particular there were theses two "orbs" which are the size of basketballs and are covered in shells. They weigh close to 30 lbs. each and are not at all "kid-friendly." I think they're hideous.
Louis (a friend of the owner) came into the store today and I asked his opinion of the 'shell' decorations we'd gotten in. If he could've been honest he'd have said 'They're hideous! Run and hide the children, these orbs will kill us all!' But as it stands he graciously said, "Well I am sure SOMEONE will buy them. They could go to one of those Kiawah homes. They love shells in Kiawah."
Princess coined a new phrase of the 'Myrtle Beach easiness' in reference to not only the orbs but also to the wall sconces bejeweled in shells. 🙂
We've had another hot man sighting. To be sure there are a lot of good looking men that come into the store, most of them with their wives. Occasionally we'll see the stray single guy there just to buy a present for a girlfriend or a 'girlfriend' but it's when the Adonis walks in straight (or gaily forward) from the gym and saunters around the store that all the hens get their feathers ruffled. "ADAM Code 1, ADAM Code 1" can be heard squawking over the two-ways when such an auspicious occasion arises. Depending on who calls the hens to the yard any number of variety of our employees could show up to help this person. Say for instance I sound the alarm then all the boys come running. If Kay sounds the alarm, the only two straight guys come running. It's a fun place to work!

There are so many good restaurants here in Mount Pleasant and it sucks having to go to them alone. I had an offer, from a 54 year old man who liked my profile on a dating website, to take me to brunch on Sunday. I backed out when he got too pushy…that's a sure sign that someone is too needy for me. Also, they usually turn into an obsessive psycho. Why do I keep trying?
I'm here to tell you that dating in '07 is for the birds. The whole e-harmony, match.com, yahoo personals thingys are a scam. Or are they? I keep hearing people who met online and have gotten married! Does that mean that they met each other online and married same said person? Or does it mean, as I suspect, they met someone online and then married their best friend. (Jane and Dick meet online. They go out on a date. Then Jane meets Dick's best friend Pete, discovers he has more personality than Dick and they get married.) I know that's oversimplifying things but I'm quickly gathering that the guys who "wink" at me are over the age of 40 and in need of a plaything while the guys that I "wink" at are under 40 and NOT INTERESTED IN ME!
I know he's out there somewhere. I'll just keep dating and gathering witty stories to amuse you with.

S.W. FAQ: Our Cleanser
When we first released our three-ingredient, non-foaming Cleanser many moons ago, the skincare world was in a bit of a different place. Brands like Clearasil dominated the face wash category with their "blackhead-busting," detergent-filled offerings; the idea that a good face wash can – and should – produce no foam was virtually unheard of. Now it's 2017. Micellar face washes are en vogue (something we've discussed at length) and it's no longer unthinkable to wash your face with something that doesn't leave you feeling like you just assaulted it with hospital-grade disinfecting soap. In fact, more and more of you understand that a good cleanser should be as gentle as it is effective.
But old habits die hard – and we still get many, many inquiries about our beloved Cleanser. We're tackling some of the most common ones below – read on!
Q: Your Cleanser doesn't foam, so how does it clean my skin? Does it actually work?
A: Let's start with how foaming cleansers work. They usually contain harsh detergents, which produce those satisfying frothy bubbles. What you probably don't realize, however, is that those ingredients are pretty terrible for your skin. For one, your skin relies on its natural oil barrier to stay healthy and happy; detergents work to strip that away. That leaves your skin in a total panic, causing it to overproduce more oil to compensate for the loss. The result? Clogged pores, breakouts, and blackheads.
Secondly, detergent-based cleansers also mess with your skin's pH. Our skin has something called an acid mantle – which includes those natural oils and has a pH of about 5.5 – that acts as a shield against bacteria, viruses, and other contaminates. Most detergent-based agents have a more basic pH (think somewhere in the range of 10). Because of this, applying them to our skin can disrupt our natural pH balance and create a more alkaline environment. This can cause extreme skin sensitivity, redness, and inflammation.
Our Cleanser doesn't contain any harsh astringents or detergents, but rather three USDA organic ingredients – tea tree oil, rosewater, and vegetable glycerin – that work in tandem to gentle cleanse skin, remove impurities, reduce inflammation, and preserve your natural oil barrier.
Q: What do the ingredients do?
A: Rosewater is soothing, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory; it works to eradicate problems without causing redness or irritation. In the right quantities (a la our Cleanser, obviously) vegetable glycerin is deeply hydrating and helps to naturally replenish your skin's moisture. Tea tree essential oil is known as a "miracle antiseptic," renowned for its antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-fungal properties. In fact, studies have shown it is just as effective and less irritating than benzoyl peroxide in treating acne.
Q: I have super-sensitive skin. Will the tea tree oil irritate it?
A: We've found that even the most sensitive of skin types react well to our Cleanser. If you're concerned, though, try it out on a patch of skin – we recommend your inner arm –before slathering it on your face.
Q: How do I use it?
A: As you would a normal face wash, although we do have some tricks. Because our Cleanser is so liquid-y, many people prefer to apply it with a cotton ball or one of our Eco Cotton Rounds (if using the Cotton Rounds, wet them a little bit beforehand). We also like to apply it without water onto dry skin, just so you have a good handle on how much coverage you're getting. Lastly, S.Dubber Elana turned us onto this trick: Add a spray top onto our Mini Cleanser and spritz onto your face. (This is excellent for the shower!) Regardless of the method, you'll want to rinse it off eventually, it can leave your skin a little sticky otherwise.
Q: How many times a day should I use it?
A: You can do morning and evening, or just one of the two. It's also totally fine to skip a day and wash with water – it's our founder Adina's preferred method of cleansing! Our advice is to really listen to your skin: Does it need a good cleaning? Or is it okay with just some water today? Let that always be your guide. We've also heard that some people like leaving it on like a mask, wearing it during a workout then rinsing, or mixing it with our Exfoliant. You do you boo!
Q: Does your Cleanser work for treating rosacea?
A: Yes! In particular, tea tree essential oil can be an incredible tool for healing rosacea. As we mentioned earlier, there's a study that shows TTO is as effective for treating acne as benzoyl peroxide but produces less negative side effects. This is really important, as irritating rosacea-prone skin can potentially make the symptoms worse.
Q: If it's only three ingredients, why is it $22?
A: Because we're using three high quality, USDA Organic Certified ingredients and nothing else. We're not adding in fillers to cheapen the product, which is the dirty little secret of many skincare companies.

Russian Banking
Evolution, Problems and Prospects
Edited by David Lane
Chapter 6: Banks and the Loans-for-Shares Auctions
Duncan Allan
Duncan Allan1 The 'loans-for-shares' auctions in November and December 1995 involved the quasi-privatization of some of Russia's most prized state-owned firms to well-connected business groups, primarily banks, amid accusations of corruption and insider-dealing. The most widely-accepted explanation for this saga, one of the biggest public scandals of the Yeltsin era, has been presented to greatest effect by Chrystia Freeland: At heart, the loans-for-shares deal was a crude trade of property for political support. In exchange for some of Russia's most valuable companies, a group of businessmen – the oligarchs – threw their political muscle behind the Kremlin. What made that bargain a Big Idea and not just run-of-the-mill corruption was its scale. Over the course of four months [sic], the government privatised the behemoths of the Russian economy – a half-dozen huge enterprises, including the world's dominant producer of nickel and several reserve-rich oil companies – selling them for a fraction of their potential value. It was the sale of the century. The motivation for the carve-up, according to Freeland, was straightforward: [L]oans-for-shares was implemented for one central reason – because the government in general and the young reformers (who still controlled the privatisation process) in particular took the calculated gamble that this was the Big Idea which could save Russia's capitalist revolution. Loans-for-shares bought Yeltsin the political, financial and strategic support of the future oligarchs in the upcoming presidential elections. It meant pawning Russia's crown jewels, but if that was the price of keeping the communists out of the Kremlin, the young...

Chester Bennington: Linkin Park Singer Could Get Buried Next To Late Friend Chris Cornell
As Linkin Park fans grieve the tragic loss of frontman Chester Bennington, it's been revealed that the plot next to Chris Cornell's grave is available and a source says they're expecting a call from Chester's family.
Although no announcements have yet been made regarding Chester Bennington's funeral following his shocking death at age 41, a certain cemetery is reportedly expecting to hear from his family. In fact, it's the exact same cemetery where Chester's dear friend Chris Cornell was laid to rest just weeks ago. Stranger still, the plot next to Chris' grave is available and, according an insider, it might be purchased by the Linkin Park singer's family. This new development caps a series of eerie similarities between the two rocker's deaths. Take a look back at Chester's incredible life and career right here.
When Chris' funeral was carried out on May 26, Chester actually performed "Hallelujah" during the service at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Now, according to TMZ's sources, the hitmaker might be buried just feet away. As we previously reported, Chester's death was similar to Chris' in striking ways. Both killed themselves by hanging. Both rigged everyday items on doors to end their lives. And neither left suicide notes. It should be noted that both Chris and Chester also battled drug and alcohol addiction for years leading up to their deaths.
A source close to Linkin Park also told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, "Shock is still at the forefront over Chester's death and the band and those who know him still can't fathom that his death actually happened, but some of the talk has been about where he will be buried and the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is a front runner because Chris Cornell is there and many think that Chester would have loved being near his buddy. Final confirmations are still about a week away, but it is one thing that continues to be mentioned as a very high possibility to occur."
"The Cornell family is overwhelmed by the heartbreaking news about Chester Bennington which tragically comes so soon after their family's own loss," a Cornell family spokesperson told the Chicago Tribune following the Linkin Park singer's death. "They open up their loving arms to Chester's family and share in the sorrow with all those who loved him." Chester took his life on what would have been Chris' 53rd birthday had he lived.
HollywoodLifers, would you like to see these two friends buried side by side? Let us know.

Several years ago a young woman I knew attempted suicide. She was 23 years old and away from home. Her frightened, concerned family rushed to her side. They brought her home, got her the best medical care and psychiatric attention available and, more importantly, rallied around her, trying in every way to bring her out of suicidal depression. They weren't successful. Two months later she killed herself. She had descended into a place into which no human love, medicine or psychiatry could penetrate : a private hell beyond human reach.
What hope do we have here? Humanly, there isn't any. Outside of faith, she is lost to us and we are helpless to reach her. But inside of faith, there is hope : surprising hope. We have a doctrine within our faith that to my mind is singularly the most consoling belief in all religion: the belief that Christ can descend into hell. One version of our Creed tells us that Jesus "descended into hell." What does this mean?
We are not always sure. There are various traditions as to the meaning. In one version, perhaps the most common, the idea is that the sin of Adam and Eve closed the gates of heaven and they remained sealed until the death of Jesus. Jesus' death opened them and Jesus himself, in the time between his death and resurrection, descended into hell (Sheol, the Underworld) where all the souls who had died since the time of Adam somehow rested. He took them all to heaven. His "descending into hell" in this version refers to his going into the underworld after his death to rescue those souls.
But there is another understanding, suggesting that Jesus' descent into hell refers especially to the manner of his death, to the depths of chaos and darkness he had to endure there, and to how the depth of love, trust and forgiveness he revealed inside that darkness manifests a love that can penetrate into any hell that can be created. That's rather abstract, to be sure; so allow me an illustration.
In Saint Paul's Cathedral in London, England, there is a famous painting by Holman Hunt. It is a painting depicting Jesus outside a door with a lantern. The picture suggests that we who are inside the door must open the door to allow Jesus in. Otherwise he will always remain outside. In some imitations of this painting, artists have taken things further. They have placed a knob on the inside of the door, but none on the outside, suggesting that Jesus cannot enter our lives unless we open the door to let him in. I recall as a child seeing this image on a holy card and being haunted by it, fearing that one day I might be too hurt, depressed or paralyzed to open that door. But powerful as this image is, it is belied by the Gospels. How?
John in his Gospel gives us this picture: On the day Jesus rose from the dead, he finds his disciples huddled in fear inside a locked room. Jesus, unlike the imitation versions of Holman Hunt's great painting, does not stand outside the door and knock, waiting for the disciples to come and open the door. He goes right through the locked doors, stands inside their huddled circle of fear and breathes out peace to them. He isn't helpless to enter when they are too frightened, depressed and wounded to open the door for him. He can descend into their hell by going through the doors they have locked out of fear.
This is also true for the various private hells into which we sometimes descend. We can reach a point in our lives where others can no longer reach into our pain and where we are too wounded, frightened and paralyzed to open the door to let anyone in. Human care can no longer reach us. But Jesus can still enter those locked doors. He can descend into our hell to breathe peace upon us.
I am sure that when the young woman whose suicide I mentioned woke up on the other side, she found Jesus standing inside her fear and sickness, breathing peace, love and forgiveness, just as he did in the darkness and chaos that he descended into in his death. I am sure too that she, sensitive woman that she was, found in him a peace that was for many reasons denied her in this life.
Our belief that Jesus did, and can, "descend into hell" is the single most consoling doctrine in all religion. It gives us hope even when, humanly, there isn't any hope. Sometimes, because of illness and hurt, someone we love can descend into a place where we, no matter our love and effort : can no longer reach. But not all is lost: Jesus can descend into hell and even there breathe out a peace that heals all hurts.

For immediate release
Stimulus Funds Repair Indian River Festival Venue
Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour
The Honourable Gail Shea, Canadas Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Member of Parliament for Egmont, and the Honourable Carolyn Bertram, Minister of Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour for Prince Edward Island, are pleased to announce that work is starting on the rehabilitation and refurbishment project at St. Marys Church, which is being transformed into the permanent musical venue for the Indian River Festival.
The Indian River Festival is a major tourist attraction and helps contribute to the economic well-being of this region, said Minister Shea. Our Governments Economic Action Plan was designed to stimulate the economy and create jobs for Canadians. We are happy to partner with the province on this important project that will help restore the historic St. Marys Church so that it can continue to be home to this very popular Festival.
The Indian River Festival and St. Marys Church are important elements to the local community and our entire Province. Our investment will help to sustain this significant cultural and historical structure for years to come, said Minister Bertram. The province is pleased to partner on this project, which will also lead to the continuation of the Indian River Festival.
Indian River Festival is proud to be in a position to take on this major restoration of St. Marys Church, said René Hurtubise, Chair of the Indian River Festival Association. The church is an integral part of the Festival and of the community and we would not be able to continue our activities without the use of this exceptional building.
St. Marys Church has been a sacred space for the people of Indian River, Kensington and surrounding areas for many generations, said Susan Ashley Vice-Chair, Friends of St. Marys. The Friends of St. Marys are pleased with this new milestone in the buildings history and for the on-going relationship with Indian River Festival. The restoration will allow future generations to appreciate the architectural, historic and cultural significance of this treasured building.
Under the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, the governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island are each providing $119,039 for refurbishments and maintenance to St. Marys Church. The balance of funding for the $357,000 project is being provided by the Indian River Festival Association. The church is the venue for musical performances for the internationally recognized Indian River Festival.
The project involves the re-furbishing and maintenance of the church. Currently, structural deterioration leaves the building vulnerable to demolition. A variety of maintenance tasks including window repair, site drainage and roof and door repair will result in the continued usage of the church as a musical venue for the festival. The project is expected to be completed by March 2011.
Through Canadas Economic Action Plan, the federal government established the $4 billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund to flow funding and get shovels in the ground quickly by providing funding to provincial, territorial and municipal construction-ready infrastructure rehabilitation projects. The Infrastructure Stimulus Fund supports projects that will reach completion by March 2011. More than $15 million in infrastructure stimulus funding has previously been announced for projects in Prince Edward Island.
The Infrastructure Stimulus Fund complements the Building Canada Plan, through which the federal government will provide an additional $302.42 million between 2007 and 2014 for infrastructure improvements in Prince Edward Island.
The Province of Prince Edward Island is investing over $80 million to community infrastructure initiatives and is committed to strengthening our One Island Community and meeting the needs of Islanders. For more information on infrastructure programs in Prince Edward Island, visit www.gov.pe.ca/go/infrastructure.

Head here to submit your own review of this album.
The last few years have seen a number of bands most commonly associated with the late '80s and early '90s either reforming, replaying the hits or completely reinventing themselves. Pavement, Pixies, Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr. have successfully and - especially in the case of the latter - convincingly positioned themselves not only at the heart of the nostalgia market, but also as genuine critical contenders again. Eleventh Dream Day are slightly different. Following their twin masterpieces Beet (1989) and Lived to Tell (1991), the band's trajectory has been similar to outfits such as like Meat Puppets and Superchunk: they've never had a huge crossover hit (No 'Gold Soundz' or 'Gigantic' for them), but they are well thought of, and crucially have never taken an 'extended hiatus'; instead they have solidly and consistently released material for decades to warm acclaim.
EDD are 30 years old now, so the chances are you've already made your mind up about them. For the record, though, this is their twelfth album, following the limited release of New Moodio in 2013. That record in itself was an interesting act of internal nostalgia, resurrecting songs from their El Moodio period (c. 1992) to pleasing effect. Works For Tomorrow is the first album of all-new material since 2011's Riot Now!, and is the result of an extended residency at Chicago's Hideout, during which they tested out and tweaked the songs in front of an audience. The evident relish with which they approached this stint shines through on Works; it often has the spontaneous feel of a live show, and Mark Greenberg's unfussy production serves to amplify that rawness.
Opener 'Vanishing Point' is particularly effective, teasing out a sonorous groove before unceremoniously smashing it to bits with the twin attack of rumbling guitars and drummer Janet Beveridge Bean's considerable vocals. In fact, Bean puts in a remarkable shift over the course of the record, thrillingly declaiming all over 'Snowblind' and 'Go Tell It'. After the the opening two tracks, both of which play it fairly straight in terms of structure, 'Cheap Gasoline' arrives to slow things down, with a wig-out reminiscent of another of the band's key contemporaries, Sonic Youth.
That track sets a precedent for some serious guitar heroics; indeed many of the subsequent tracks contain these raggedly glorious intervals, justifying the addition of a second guitarist (James Elkington of Tweedy and Brokeback) for the album sessions. There are sections of this record which sound like the howlings of a much younger band - EDD still possess an unusual and admirable ferocity which many of their peers have traded in long ago.
There are mellower moments to be found on Works, too: penultimate song 'Deep Lakes' is a lovely bruised ballad; indeed Rick Rizzo's line "I'm alive... we survive" could serve as a useful mantra for the band as they look towards a fourth decade of making music. These musicians have other things going on - side projects, other bands, other lives - but on the evidence of this album, there's still something to be said for keeping the old band together. Long may they rage.
