The National's Scott Devendorf Talks 'Sleep Well Beast' and Learning from Bob Weir
Scott Devendorf talks about The National's seventh album, 'Sleep Well Beast.'by Ryan Pinkard
This past July indie rock veterans The National invited select fans and press to drive up to a reclaimed glue factory in Hudson, New York where, over two nights, they would perform their unreleased seventh album, Sleep Well Beast, in full for the first time.
Dubbed the "Guilty Party," (also the title of their second single) the event turned out to be equal parts art installation and rock concert. Entering the large space that evening, a pre-industrial barn resembling the skeleton of a temple, visitors encountered an empty 360-degree stage, with small square stages in each corner.
At 6 p.m. sharp, as the summer sun was making its long dramatic trek to the horizon, four unannounced percussionists with unfamiliar homemade instruments began performing on one of the corner stages before a gathering crowd. As their abbreviated set came to a close, two woman on classical string instruments started playing music on the next stage over, and the crowd moved through the open room to meet them. Without pause their performance flowed seamlessly into the next, by Brooklyn indie duo Buke and Gase, which begat the penultimate performer, German electronic duo Mouse on Mars.
Finally, with the sun fully set and each of the corner platforms still occupied by their performers, The National took to the elevated center stage to perform their new album. Beginning with the melancholy opener, "Nobody Else Will Be There," the band played the entirety of Sleep Well Beast to mostly virgin ears. And as they did so, the opening musicians on the ancillary stages—the same musicians, incidentally, who collaborated with the band in the studio—played their respective parts – percussion, strings, backing vocals, electronics – from behind the awestruck fans circled around the main attraction.
The performance was, in essence, a three-dimensional live construction of an album, and the effect was overwhelming. In concept, and in simple terms of execution, the Guilty Party was an extraordinary feat that could only be pulled off by a seasoned band who knows their craft so well they can pull it apart and put it back together again in new forms.
Finally out in the world today, Sleep Well Beast is another darling album from a hardworking band that ages, just like it sounds, like a fine wine. Like every National record, there's something new – jammy guitar solos and twitchy electronics included – while painting a familiar bitter-sweet picture about grown-up themes.
More than 15 years after releasing their first album, they're still two sets of brothers and a singular singer from Ohio – Aaron and Bryce Dessner, Scott and Bryon Devendorf, and Matt Berninger – who have never run out of devastatingly beautiful, elegiac things to say about about love, regret, grief and nostalgia.
TIDAL spoke with The National Scott Devendorf ahead of releasing Sleep Well Beast.
* * *
The National recently earned its first #1 song on a Billboard chart. Was the a big achievement for the band?
I think so yeah. I mean it's never happened before for us and were not really the type of band that gets a lot of airplay from commercial radio. So yeah, it was sort of shocking [laughs] and exciting. I guess my biggest thought was that if people who have not heard of the band hear us on the radio and end up entering our little world that makes us happy.
I truly think the Sleep Well Beast is as good as anything you guys have made. Where are you guys at on this record?
I've been in the band for about 15 or so years. This is our seventh record. Every time we make a record it's the same challenge. We don't want to remake Boxer, we don't want to remake Alligator. In a way we're the same people doing the same things, but we've also learned a lot of things along the way and played more and more together as a band.
We try to approach it with freshness, and not put some time pressure on it in order to stay on this two year album cycle. Removing that [pressure], and the fact that everybody [in the band] has moved to different parts of the world, we have to really plan to get together. So there would be focus session of two weeks or 10 days at a time. Expecting something to come from each one something whether it be experience or hopefully some recorded material.
And then the Berlin experience [a experimental predecessor to the Guilty Party], we brought back audio and a less-perfectionist attitude toward our whole process. We're still perfectionists in the sense that we want to make a good record, but we weren't as concerned about some sort of pristine form. We tend to be picky as individuals and as a group. I can hear the things we did along the way without it getting too layered or murky.
The National curated that massive Grateful Dead tribute project, Day of the Dead, released last year. Some of your new songs, like "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness" and "Turtleneck," seem to find you guys letting loose and jamming out a little.
Yeah, I'd like to think it did loosen up the style of our playing. I mean, [when we play] live, the band has had guitar solos here and there, but for some reason we have avoided them on recordings. Jamming is something we've always liked, and it's an element of Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead and all those classic rock bands we've liked at one point or another, and still do.
Yeah I think doing that project was sort of an eye opener. All those Grateful Dead songs are very structured and organized but they have this weird sort of elasticity to them. Trying to play those songs or make our versions for that record, we couldn't help but apply some of that knowledge on [Sleep Well Beast].
You have become pals with Bob Weir, haven't you?
We have. We played on his record [Blue Mountain] a bit. Our friend Josh Kaufman produced it. Bryce and Aaron and I did a couple one-off shows and tours with Bob in the fall.
What kind of wisdom does working with a legend like that give you?
He goes about his day and his show at a totally different pace than we do as The National, or most bands do I think. There's this long sort of arc to the day, and lots of rehearsal, particularly for us at the beginning. At each show we would learn new songs. We were playing [Bob's] solo record but we were also playing Grateful Dead songs … and there's a couple hundred of those. [laughs]
Every day was a learning experience, which was cool. We didn't know what he was going to pick or what he wanted to do. Every set was different, every night was different and every show had this way of constantly keeping you on your toes. It would be a three or four hour rehearsal and then an hour-long sound check and then a two hour show. So it was a lot of playing, more than we're used to in a day, but it was fun to do all that work. And then it would culminate in a cool unique show for a bunch of Dead Heads.
What's your favorite moment on the album?
I really like the first song, "Nobody Else Will Be There." I really like "Guilty Party." I really like "I'll Still Destroy You." I mean I'm really excited about the whole record. We just finished it so it's hard to choose.
All those songs are fun to play on bass. They are fun to hear all those parts work together. Inevitably between recording all the songs and then playing them live, you have to sort of extract all the elements that work live. I think those are kind of preexisting this time, where less so on other records we've worked on where you have to pull things apart and say, how can we rephrase that or change that electronic part into a live drum or synth part.
We're hoping that some of the people who played on the record will join us for parts of the tour. I don't know that we'll be able to pull off another Guilty Party, but we'll have Sō Percussion open some shows and have other people come in and change the live show, which is fun for us.
You guys have always been outspoken about your politics. How are you all faring in the current national situation?
Probably bad. As bad as anyone else. For lack of a better term, it's sort of unfolding. I feel like this whole thing is a picture of America right now, in a way that's just sort of like, "Here it is, it's so obvious these are all the problems, and you have to work on them." I'm excited in the sense that there is work to be done, but all the horrible shit that's been said or done in the last six to eight months, whew, we'll see. I hope the tide is going to turn.
What new tunes has The National been bonding over?
I really enjoy the new Grizzly Bear record. I just got it today in the mail. It's fantastic. We worked with them a little bit on the Day of the Dead, or at least with Daniel [Rossen] and Chris [Bear]. It was super fun working with them. Good job Grizzly Bear.
Also, the new This Is The Kit. Aaron produced their [last] record, [Bashed Out]. We've known them for a few years. Super good record and we're doing some shows with them in the near future.
Oh and I love the new LCD Soundsystem. I mean I'm a fan, so I'm super psyched they have a new record and are back.

The American pro-life movement is having a moment.
Republican victories in state legislatures and mounting public disgust over late-term abortions like those performed by Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell have given new momentum to anti-abortion activists.
Pro-lifers are now seizing on the rare opportunity to dislodge entrenched positions in the abortion war, and push through new regulations and laws aimed at restricting access to abortion.
While the stated purpose of these laws is to increase oversight of abortion practices, the ultimate goal is clear: Ban abortion altogether.
The success of the pro-life movement — particularly at the state level — raises an important question: What would happen if abortion was no longer legal in the United States?
Of course, America has been there. Before the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, women who wanted to terminate a pregnancy were forced to resort to back-alley clinics and dangerous home remedies.
But that was four decades ago.
For a more current look at what happens when abortion is severely restricted, we looked to Brazil, where abortion is illegal except in cases of rape, when the mother's life is in danger, and in the rare instances of anencephaly, a severe fetal anomaly in which the fetus lacks parts of the brain, leaving the infant with virtually no chance of survival.
In all other circumstances, abortion is criminalized — women who undergo abortions in Brazil are subject to one to three years in prison, and doctors can be punished with up to 20 years incarceration.
"Brazil and other countries in Latin America are really good examples of what it looks like when you set up barriers to access for abortions," said Mónica Arango, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean at the Center for Reproductive Rights.
"Unlike in the United States, most women in Brazil will never be able to get a legal abortion. Even in cases of rape and when the mother's life is in danger it is very difficult."
The reality of abortion in Brazil
Despite its illegality, Brazil's Ministry of Health estimates that about 1 million abortions are performed in the country annually, and that about 200,000 women are hospitalized every year from infections, vaginal bleeding, and other complications from illegal abortions. Other estimates put those numbers even higher.
A 2010 University of Brasilia study found that 1 in 5 Brazilian women under 40 — more than 5 million women overall, or about 22% of Brazil's population — had had at least one abortion. According to the report, at least 50% of those women were hospitalized for complications. Abortion is the fifth-highest cause of maternal mortality.
"Abortion is very common in Brazil," said Carmen Barroso, Regional Director of International Planned Parenthood Federation in the Western Hemisphere. "Although the law is very restrictive, women have powerful reasons for wanting to terminate a pregnancy and they go through all kind of loops to do it."
A disproportionate number of women who seek illegal abortions in Brazil are poor, young, and uneducated. According to the 2010 study, about 42% of women have their first abortion between the ages of 12 and 19, and about about 23% of women with less than a fourth-grade education have had an abortion.
"If you are older and you have money, there are private clinics that are reasonably good," Barroso said. "But if you are young and poor, you are really at the mercy of this terrible situation."
"Bringing down the blood"
Traditionally, women in Brazil would perform at-home abortions with foreign objects, like knitting needles and coat hangers, or poisons.
Since the 1990s, however, the most common way for Brazilian women to induce an abortion is by taking under-the-counter medications, most commonly misoprostol, an anti-inflammatory used to treat ulcers. The 2010 University of Brasilia study found that a drug is used in at least half of illegal abortions in Brazil.
Although the Brazilian Ministry of Health restricted the sale of misoprostol in 1991 — and some states in Brazil have banned it altogether — the drug is still widely available at inflated black market prices, often exceeding $100 per dose. Women can obtain it at pharmacies that are known purveyors by claiming that they need to "bring down the blood" or treat "suspended menstruation" — common Brazilian euphemisms for abortion.
When taken within the first seven to nine weeks of pregnancy under the supervision of a medical professional, misoprostol is about 90% effective at terminating pregnancy. But when taken without appropriate medical guidance, misoprostol can be both ineffective and dangerous. Side effects include uterine rupture, severe bleeding, and septic shock.
The risk of complications increase when misoprostol is taken after the first nine weeks of pregnancy. But in Brazil, Barroso explained, the high cost and social stigmatization of abortion often leads women to wait far longer before seeking an abortion. Denial about pregnancy is common, and women who end up buying misoprostol often underestimate the length of their pregnancy.
Moreover, because the drug is not regulated in Brazil, there is a prevalent danger that the instructions are mislabeled, or that the drugs being sold are actually sugar pills or some other dangerous medication that fails to safely terminate a pregnancy.
The consequences can be horrific. Side effects of misoprostol use in pregnant women include uterine rupture, severe bleeding, and septic shock.
Women who seek medical abortions in Brazil are also often subjected to sexual assault and humiliation. In Brazil's machismo culture, pregnant women are particularly vulnerable, and Barroso described scenarios in which women who purchased misoprostol were then harassed at the pharmacy, or forced to allow the pharmacist to vaginally insert the drug.
As Barroso explained, the black market nature of abortions in Brazil has attracted scam artists who exploit the vulnerability of women seeking to end their pregnancies. As a result, legitimate medical professionals are driven away from abortion for fear of being associated with this seedy underworld.
"Because it's the black market, it attracts all of the shady elements that go along with that – it's a really dangerous situation for women," Barroso said.
"There are some people who benefit from abortion being illegal," she added. "Doctors don't want to be seen or perceived as mercenaries. The good doctors are afraid of crossing the line."
The constant threat of the law
In addition to the health threats, women who seek an illegal abortion in Brazil are under the constant threat of criminal action.
While prosecutions are rare, women who are hospitalized for abortion complications frequently face criminal and civil action, and even run the risk of spending up to three years in jail. Police raids on abortion clinics have also become increasingly routine, and authorities often take thousands of medical files of women, exposing their private medical histories to the community.
"We've even seen cases where women were handcuffed to their hospital beds," said Maria Beatriz Galli, human rights lawyer and Latin American policy associate for Ipas. "It's a very insecure situation for women seeking health care."
Although there are no national statistics available on abortion crimes, a recent study by Brazil's Institute of Religious Studies found that there were 351 police complaints regarding abortion in Rio de Janeiro between 2007 and 2012.
In most cases where police action is taken, the complaints were made by doctors who treated a woman after an illegal abortion, despite the fact that doctors in Brazil are required to maintain patient confidentiality.
Moreover, the complaints disproportionately referred to young and uneducated women — 45% related to women between the ages of 15 and 24, and only 8% of the women in the complaints had any university education.
Besides the illegality of abortion, the procedure is also widely considered immoral among Brazil's overwhelmingly Catholic population. In 2009, the Catholic Church in Brazil sparked an international firestorm after it excommunicated a 9-year-old girl who had an abortion after being raped by her stepfather and whose life was endangered by her pregnancy.
The treatment of abortion as a moral, rather than a health, issue pervades the political and social spheres. A majority of Brazilians — 65% — believe that the country's laws should not be modified, compared to just 16% who believe that the laws should be relaxed.
"People in Brazil tend to be much more conservative in regards to women's reproductive rights, so women are being reported by their neighbors, their relatives," Galli said. "If the common opinion is that abortion should be a crime at all costs, it is much more difficult to make the case that abortion is a medical procedure."
"People just refuse to provide abortions"
Even in situations where abortion is legal, the process of finding a legitimate provider is time-consuming and difficult, forcing many women — particularly those who are young, poor, and uneducated — to seek out illegal options.
"Because of the stigma, the procedure gets driven underground even in situations where it is legal," Barroso said. "Doctors are cautious human beings, and understandably so. If the law forbids some types of abortions, sometimes it is not clear what types of abortions fall under what category, and so they decide not to do it all."
In 2008, just over 3,000 legal abortions were performed in the entire country — a tiny number given that Brazil has a population of 200 million. There are currently just 64 centers in the entire country that are authorized to provide information about legal abortion services.
"In theory, anyone who is raped can get a legal abortion ... But because there is no information, even women who are raped don't know that they have this right."
According to Galli, few public hospitals are able to provide legal abortion services for women. She notes that the use of conscientious objection is prevalent — of 40 physicians working at sexual violence assistance centers, only two female doctors were willing to perform legal abortions.
"Even in referral centers, which are specifically set up to provide information about abortion, you find that providers are not willing to perform abortions," Galli said. "People just refuse to provide abortions. And there is no accountability at these referral centers."
The U.S. might not be as different as you think
Obviously, the situations in Brazil and the U.S. are not analogous. Despite the push by pro-life groups to limit abortion, the procedure remains legal in the U.S.
Still, potential parallels may be emerging as states in the U.S. move to restrict access to abortion.
The combination of restricted access to abortion and increased Internet access has led to the rise of Do-It-Yourself abortions in the U.S., many of which look remarkably like the illegal abortions taking place in Brazil.
Although the exact number of illegal abortions in the U.S. is hard to determine, many reproductive rights experts believe that self-induced abortions will continue to rise as the process of finding a legal abortion becomes more time-consuming and difficult.
And while historically, women in the U.S. have never been prosecuted for receiving abortions, a growing number of American women have been arrested in recent years for performing DIY abortions. A recent study found that there have been at least 250 abortion-related criminal and civil cases against women in the U.S. since 2005.
An illustrative example of this is the highly-publicized case of Jennie Linn McCormack, an Idaho mother of three who was arrested in 2011 for causing her own abortion with pills she bought over the Internet.
McCormack was unemployed, the fathers of her children were MIA, and she had no means to support another child. Due to federal regulations banning federal funding for abortions, a legal abortion would have cost at least $400. The closest abortion clinic to her home in Pocatello, Idaho was 150 miles away in Salt Lake City, Utah. Because Utah law requires a three-day waiting period for women seeking abortion, she would have had to make two trips or spend the night — an impossible expense for the struggling single mother.
Under these circumstances, McCormack decided to end her pregnancy on her own and purchased misoprostol online. But she greatly underestimated the length of her pregnancy and aborted a five-month old fetus, which she subsequently hid under her bed.
McCormack was eventually arrested. Although the charges were ultimately dismissed, pro-choice activists believe that there will be more cases like it as access to abortion becomes more limited in the U.S.
The reality is that women have always had reasons to terminate a pregnancy — and have found ways of doing so for millennia, regardless of the legal status of abortion. The Ancient Chinese used mercury; ancient Indians tried sitting over pots of steam or onions; German folklore recommended a concoction of ants, camel saliva, and deer hair boiled in bear fat. Hippocrates once directed a prostitute to jump up and down "touching her buttocks with her heels at each leap."
The example of Brazil — and of American women like McCormack — are further evidence that restricting abortion rarely stops abortions from occurring, but just makes the procedure more dangerous.
In fact, banning abortion may actually have an adverse effect on reducing the number of women seeking abortions. According to research from the Guttmacher Institute, illegal abortions occur more than twice as often in Brazil as legal abortions do in the U.S.; in the Netherlands, where abortion is free and widely available, the abortion rate is half what it is in the U.S.
"The mortality rate decreases radically when abortion is legalized, because women seek abortions in a safe, medical environment," said Barroso.
"The irony here is that people who are against abortion should be for legalization," she added. "Legality has very little to do with the frequency of abortion. In countries where abortions are legal – and even free — the rate of abortions are much lower. Women feel like they have options."

"OH WATERS, TEEM WITH MEDICINE TO KEEP MY BODY SAFE FROM HARM, SO THAT I MAY LONG SEE THE SUN." - Rig Veda
No stunt of his has ever awed a crowd
like this vast sudden mound he's made

Mommy, is he sleeping?
The pink dot of a woman pirouetting

The problem of his body
lies inert where it fell, a sawdust blanket
sifting over him, absorbing his circus smell.
Our collective gasp

Goodnight stars. Goodnight air.
Goodnight noises everywhere.
Goodnight, Elephant. There there.

Hello all,
I received this information from Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids and thought you might be interested in the new map and rankings of state taxes on tobacco as of July 1, 2009. Arizona ranks 9th nationally for our tax on cigarettes. So far this year, 10 states (AR, FL, HI, KY, MS, NH, NJ, RI, VT, WI) have passed cigarette tax increases, five of which go into effect tomorrow (July 1). The average state tax on tobacco is $1.29 per pack. NOTE: the figures do not include the recent federal excise tax.
Even though we are a leader in taxing tobacco, and we have one of the nation's best indoor air laws, there is more work to be done here in Arizona! On the map, note that the states surrounding AZ have lower taxation and to the south we have Mexico where cigarettes are available cheaper as well. This leads to trafficking that cuts into our tax revenues and provides an easy 'out' for Arizona's tobacco users in search of getting the 'most for their money.'
I look forward to working with you as we continue toward our vision of a tobacco-free Arizona!

Love all 3 Silke!! My fav is the pink baby card -just so sweet and soft (I spy those silver pearls!) AND I only have boys, so I am always drawn to the pink!! LOL!

I am making my DT commitment cards the night before and barely have time to sit and relax on the couch. My computer browsing time last as long as my first morning cup of coffee. After that it goes in the travel mug and I'm OFF!
Have a great day girlie!!

BREAKING Ted Cruz Introducing Emergency Legislation to Keep Illegal Immigrant Families Together
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is introducing emergency legislation to keep illegal immigrant families together. This means that President Trump's horrific separation of children from parents policy isn't even playing well in Texas, a major border state.
Cruz is up for reelection, in a tight race against upstart Democratic candidate Beto O'Rourke, and wouldn't be doing this if the emergency legislation wasn't polling well.
23 comments:
First off, they are not necessarily families. This type of immigration fraud is old hat.ReplyDelete
Second, the best way to keep the "family" together is to emigrate legally.
Third, why aren't they staying in the first state they get to when they are fleeing their "dangerous" countries? Because they are trying to get into the US, full stop. Everyone in the world is "fleeing violence" compared to Everytown, USA.
Wenzel is now officially cheering for an evil State Actor to Pass a Law to get Wenzel the result he wants--my tax dollars to pay for infiltrators (I use that word advisedly).Replies
Newton, aren't you officially cheering for an evil State Actor to Enforce a Law to get you the result you want -- my tax dollars to pay for your preferences?Delete
I work toward the abolition of State laws. You and Wenzel like to tweak/add State laws to achieve your preferred ends.
Also, care to reply to anything substantive? You and Evan and RW only have snark on your side (as the posts and comments clearly illustrate). Do you realize that you are all acting exactly as the Lefitists do?
"Think of the children!" "You are racists!" "[Projection intensifies]"
It is difficult to have a useful debate with someone who uses increasingly vitriolic ad hominems, and who insists on attacking "straw men." These are both examples of intellectual sloth. Initially, somewhere, I thought you raised an interesting point or two, and I have tried to respond substantively to each of your posts. If, however, I have fallen short of your expectations in my responses, I apologize for wasting your time.
Tom Dilorenzo states: "The Government is Separating Children from their Parents . . .ReplyDelete
. . . every time it arrests and jails someone for DUI, drug possession, car theft, burglary, peeping tomism, murder, and all other crimes. For some strange reason the Lying Media Scum (LMS) and their dimwitted Hollywood comrades are pretending that this only happens when illegal aliens break our immigration laws (and then commit further crimes here, including violent ones). Not to mention how the Bush/Obama administration killed over half a million Muslims. Talk about family separation. This fact highlights what a buffoon Laura Bush is, who is in the news today condemning Trump for "separating families" by enforcing U.S. immigration law, a law that her husband took an oath to uphold and enforce."
But Tom is a Statist as we all know, and as Dr. Torres will soon inform us; and Tom is sick, as RW will soon remind us.
RW is sure triggering the nativesReplyDeleteReplies
Hmm, don't see jack where RW says "I support Ted Cruz".ReplyDelete
We can only hope that the morons here who find this policy so horrible will be killed, raped, or anything else since they are oblivious to consequences of unchecked immigration. Yet, not a one of them will pay for these precious creatures out of their own pocket or move to those countries to promote their brand of libertardiannism.ReplyDelete
Mass immigration of savages has been a failure everywhere its tried. But hey, 'gotta smash the state man'.Replies
We can only hope that you find employment someday and stop vomiting all over the comment section.Delete
At least come up with your own lines.
Yes Evan, you probably live in the whitest neighborhood so you don't have to be around 'duh-versity'. Like I said, I can only hope you will physically harmed by an illegal immigrant or exterminated in some way. The world would be better for it.Delete
I hope you live a long life, because you're clearly miserable.Delete
This is all ridiculous. Apparently we should now roll over for anything that has the potential to "hurt the children". The hard Left have been pulling this scam for decades and now the Libertarians have jumped in hook line and sinker. For everything that anyone here claims "hurts the children" I can demonstrate how the reverse hurts even more children. So now public policy going forward will be based on who can force out the most tears.ReplyDelete
You know how these families could be kept together without any new law being passed?
When the "family" arrives at the border and are told that they will be separated pending their hearing, they can say "Hey, we love each other, so we will -- instead of being separated -- return to our home country (or, if it is "too dangerous," then we will stay in Mexico where we should have stayed anyway based on asylum law)."
So literally no one is "forcing" families to separate.
And how about a series of posts on Americans being separated from their children pending trial (i.e., BEFORE they are even convicted of ANY crime -- remember that illegal border crossing is a crime, and multiple attempts is a felony!)?
No, we won't see that because Wenzel isn't principled, he just hates Trump. He goes the way of Jon Stewart on the Daily Show who was anti-State when Bush, then pro-State when Obama.Replies

DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
All General Discussion concerning WTA and ATP

DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
Dominic Thiem offers to play doubles with Serena Williams
Austrian world number four Dominic Thiem has offered to play doubles with Serena Williams at Wimbledon to put their French Open dispute behind them.
Thiem had accused Williams of showing "bad personality" after he was asked to relocate a media conference to make way for the 23-time Grand Slam champion.
"Probably it was not Serena's mistake. I find her achievements unbelievable, sensational." he said on Tuesday.
"I would like to make amends with her in Wimbledon or US Open mixed doubles."
Thiem, beaten in the men's French Open final by Rafael Nadal, now believes tournament organisers were to blame for the incident that saw him shunted out of the interview room where he had begun answering questions following his fourth-round win over Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas.
Thiem accuses Serena Williams of showing 'bad personality'
"In retrospect, it was funny that such an organisational mistake happened at a Grand Slam tournament," he added.
"What I do not understand is that it blew up so much."
Williams won the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon in 1998 as a 16-year-old playing alongside Belarus' Max Mirnyi, and teamed up with fellow American Francis Tiafoe in the Hopman Cup in January.
Thiem lost to Nadal in the French Open final for a second successive year last weekend and says he is confident on improving on previous displays at Wimbledon where he has only got beyond the second round once in five visits.
"Wimbledon is special, it is the most prestigious tournament in the world," he added.
"I want to show myself better than last year. At that time I was slightly injured and had to give up in the first round [retiring against Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis]. Now I see good chances to get relatively far."
Thiem will begin his grass-court preparations at the Halle tournament in Germany before Wimbledon starts on 1 July.
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
I don't think Serena has time for useless Doubles. She is trying to save her energy for the Singles.
Stupid PR from Thiem.
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
Obviously trying to save face.
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
Wait, shouldn't you be offering to play doubles with Ree too, if memory serves?
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
Any Doubles at this point in a 23 GS career is meaningless when she is trying to add #24
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
ANY match play is needed when you're trying for #24 and have obviously become
a part-time player at best.
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
She should play and 'accidentally' bean him in the head on a first flat serve.Oops, did that hurt? It sure looked like it did. lol. The scales of justice would then be in balance.

Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
A simple apology for getting it wrong and blowing it up would suffice ~ No doubles on that bad knee!!
On another note …
Sascha plays Dustin Brown on the grass today ~ Should be interesting!!
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
Dustin took the first set 6-4, but Sascha broke to open the second set 2-0!!
Re: DOUBLES: Thiem/Serena
Dustin breaks and is now serving for the match at 5-3 in the third!!

Aspects To Consider When Creating A Successful Package Design.
It is the wish of an individual when creating a package design that it will be successful to the company. It is the happiness of an individual when he sees that the package design that he has created is successful. For an individual to come up with a package design which is successful, there is a need to put into considerations some factors.
You need to ensure that you know your target group of which you are selling to the products. Any time you decide to create a package design, you need to ensure that you note your audience. Whether the business will be successful will be determined by these individuals. They are the reason as to why you are operating a business, thus, you cannot continue with the business.
It is essential that you do not stick on one type of design. Picking the best should be after looking a couple of them. You need to have a comparison for you to be able to come up with the best package design that will make your business to be successful. So that you can choose the best, there is a need to ask for assistance from family members as well as friends.
There should be the matching of the design chosen as well as the price set for your product. It will be of no use whereby an individual chooses a design which is higher in cost and the price of the product is lower. With this, it will mean that you will have used extra cost in the designing, which is more than what you are selling the product. There is a need for every individual doing an expensive design yet the product that he is selling is not worth the price. In regards to competition, ensure that you get to know the package design where it is set for individuals to see. Knowing the competitors is vital as well as having in mind the products they are displaying. Ensure you go around all the shops in which the products are displayed and get to know about the one selling the same products as yours.
Ensure that you can point out on the essential word. On a package design, there is a need for an individual to avoid using long words which will result in having no meaning.
The steps on how to use the product should be indicated on the package design with some pictures. The customer will not have problems in using the product after purchasing with the help of this. You will also be on top of your competitors as every individual will be coming for your products. It is always good if an individual print out the package design that are of high quality. Customers will always be willing to come for a product that has a design which is of high quality.

Maplecroft has today released research figures that shows that of the BRIC nations, India is at 'extreme risk" with respect to their population becoming stifled by a lack of digital inclusion i.e. the ability for their population to use and access ICT technology. Maplecroft uses 10 indicators to calculate the level of digital inclusion found across 186 countries. These include numbers of mobile cellular and broadband subscriptions; fixed telephone lines; households with a PC and television; internet users and secure internet servers; internet bandwidth; secondary education enrolment; and adult literacy.
Of the BRIC nations, India (39) is the only country to be classified as 'extreme risk', meaning that the country's population suffers from a severe lack of digital inclusion. China (103) Brazil (110) and Russia (134) are rated 'medium risk'. Despite huge economic growth, the BRICs nations are still significantly outperformed by developed nations in the Digital Inclusion Index. The countries with the best access to ICTs are the Netherlands (186), Denmark (185), Luxembourg (184), Sweden (183) and the UK (182). Trends suggest that the BRICs nations may not lag behind for much longer however.

Police probe two 'persons of interest' in foiled bombing near U.S. Embassy
maxItemsPerPage: 10
maxPaginationLinks: 10
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — The Manila Police District is investigating two people who may be involved in the bombing attempt near the U.S. Embassy.
National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Chief Superintendent Oscar Albayalde clarified — the two are considered "persons of interest" and not suspects pending the result of the probe.
Both are under police custody.
Police said 34-year-old Rayson Kilala Sacdal, also known as Rashid Kilala, was taken in Bulacan at around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. The other person is from Caloocan, but his identity has yet to be revealed.
Albayalde said the two are natives of Marawi City.
They found the two based on reports gathered by intelligence agents and information submitted by concerned citizens following the release of the composite sketch of the person responsible for the foiled bombing.
The bomb was discovered early Monday morning by a streetsweeper.
The police earlier said the IED found near the U.S. Embassy was similar in design to the bomb used in an explosion in Davao in September that killed 15 people.
CNN Philippines correspondent Joyce Ilas, Gerg Cahiles, Makoi Popioco contributed to this report.

I read that some city wants to get rid of all its billboards and large signs. I ask that city how can they do that? What is happening to the good'ol things in life and why does everything have to be gotten rid of?
When I sit here and think back to my younger days – oh those wonderful times of yesteryear with the billboards along the side of the road! I feel old now – Help me!!!
Those great billboards that lined the road with some nifty saying or telling you that at the next exit you only have to drive 5 miles and there will be some exciting adventure for the whole family.
Or there was one where I lived with a giant ice-cream cone and as a kid I always dreamed that one day I would get an ice-cream cone that size but somehow my dream never came true and the sign was torn down when I was about 10 years old.
Or there was the happy family driving along without a care in the world in a car waving to all those who passed by. Those were great times.
There were giant burgers or soft drinks that would make your mouth water and as a kid I would beg my parents to take me there only to hear my dad say it was too far away; maybe some other time. My dad must have said that sentence a trillion times every time I saw a billboard with food on it; I wanted to go there and have something to eat.
There were the billboards for tourist attractions too which were really great; promising you the world and wild animals that would eat you alive if you weren't careful.
Or there was the man-eating creature waiting to devour you when you stopped there. And of course my dad would never stop at such great places because as he put it "That's a load of hog wash!"
Those words brought tears to my eyes because I wanted to see a real man-eating animal and what did I get just a glimpse of the place as we drove by.
Though one year my dad decided to drive to Florida for Christmas and so we made our way from upstate New York to Florida and that was a trip that left lasting memories in my brain and my dad was the best dad in the world that year and he still is!!!
As we crossed the border into the southern states that's where the signs began to tell me there were great thing in store if I just keep reading. The first sign was only 200 mile to (whatever the name of the place was) and it went like that every couple of mile so there was a building up of excitement in the car because I knew that was a place to stop at and after my dad driving for hours and listening to me begging from the back seat when will be there and my mom sitting there patently listening to me too. Then the moment came and my dad pulled off the highway to the place with the giant sombrero! I was ecstatic just to see that hat that had been on all the billboards since entering the southern states.
Then we parked and got out and my dad gave me .50 cents so I could get myself a souvenir. That was life and I knew that they would have something there for me! I ran into the store only to see that it was full of tee-shirts and plastic alligators and some sombreros and post cards. Nothing was there that was as exciting as the bill boards. I wanted excitement and looked and looked only to be disappointed and walked back out to the car with my mom and my .50 cents still in my hand.
After we got back onto the highway again my spirits were lifted by the bigger than life signs for pecan pie. I had never seen such huge pies before and they looked really good too along with the happy people who were eating the pies. My dad said we would stop for some of that great looking pecan pie, which we did but I didn't like the pie so I had to settle for a wonderful chocolate ice-cream sundae.
Those billboards were great!
Then the moment came with the giant orange welcoming you too Florida and there in that state were billboards with giant fish and alligators on them or monkeys and other exotic creatures that I had never seen before.
Those billboards really showed me what life was about and all the great things that life had to offer. I couldn't sleep in the car because I was so excited that I would miss out on some great picture on a billboard. What pictures they were indeed!!
To all those people who will decide about billboards: Please, don't get rid of all those great things because that was and makes life so memorable!

Window Silhouette
As I approach the bottom of the hill nearing the center of the metropolis, there now appears to be a need to capture the silhouette gazing out the window at the unaware passersby. The thoughts which at those moments inhabit that creative mind could probably cure the world of its ills or maybe they're as mundane as retrieving the daily paper at the end of a driveway. Either way, the sight would be something to capture and preserve as only a photograph can do, giving the opportunity to incite a thousand thoughts of wonder and one clear thought of beauty that only comes from watching someone being human like nobody's watching.

Are you sick and tired of spending your annual family vacation in Spain where every bar plays reruns of Only Fools and Horses all day long? You're not the only one. Experts predict that thousands of families will think outside of the box this year and travel to somewhere a little different. Opting to take an adventure holiday might be a little more expensive, but it is guaranteed to present you with lots of awesome new experiences. If you have children, your time away this year could create memories that last a lifetime. At the end of the day, the last thing you want to do is waste your money on a trip to the same old locations.
The best thing about planning an adventure holiday? It's much simpler than it used to be. These days, there are so many apps available for your smartphone that it is easy to make all your arrangements from a mobile device.
There are so many different options open to you when planning a safari that you can't pass on the opportunity. While most people decide to travel to countries like Kenya, there are lots of other places you can try. We saw an excellent review a few days ago from a family that booked an India tiger safari. It all comes down to which places you'd like to visit, and which animals you'd like to encounter. Children love getting up close and personal with some of the biggest beasts on earth. Going on safari will let them do that without risking injury.
Jungle trek
You're going to need a lot of stamina to handle a jungle trek, but some people find it to be the best experience of their life. You could travel to somewhere like the Democratic Republic of Congo, but that can be a little too dangerous if you have children in your party. With that in mind, we always recommend that people visit Peru. Organizing a trek through the Amazon rainforest is simple, and incredibly enjoyable. You could even follow the Inca Trail and witness the awesomeness of Machu Picchu. Just be warned that it takes around eight days to reach that mountain paradise on foot. Most people trek half way and then arrange a helicopter ride. However, the decision is down to you.
The Arctic
Presuming you don't mind freezing temperatures, you could have a very enjoyable experience in the Arctic. Most people steer clear of that area because most of it is inhabited. However, therein lies its beauty. If you want to visit a place that hasn't been ravaged by humans, there is no better location on earth. Your best bet is to book a cruise that visits the Arctic. There are plenty of them around, and you might be surprised at the price. Just don't forget to take your camera as you're sure to see some amazing sights.
We hope you have gained some inspiration from our suggestions, and that you will consider something a little different this year. No matter what size your family might be, the perfect holiday is just waiting to be discovered.

It has been the scene of hundreds of movies and television shows and is a part of Italy's history. Other Roman Colosseum facts include the number of spectators that once partook in the festivities. Over 50,000 could be heard for miles, cheering for their favorite gladiators during the games.

I've been looking for a pair of jeans. The perfect pair of jeans to wear with flats. Not bootcut. Not flared. Not super skinny. Not too short and not too long.
I spent almost an entire Saturday trying on jeans at the mall. I found a few pairs that might work but they didn't have my size. So, I ordered some online and then searched a few more stores for options.
I wound up with three so far. Here are the current contenders.
1. Levi's Misses Skinny Jeans – Kohl's
Rear end looks good
Not too wide on the ankle
Leg is streamlined
Looks a little too short. No way these puppies could go in the dryer!
2. Levi's Bold Curve ID Straight Leg – Macy's
- None that I can think of
- Rise is a bit too high
- Not streamlined enough in the leg
- A little too wide at the ankle
3. Denim Supply by Ralph Lauren – Macy's
- Looks pretty good from the rear!
- Slim through the upper leg
- Good length in the back
- A little too long?
- Maybe not as streamlined in the lower leg as I'd like
In an ideal world, I'd like a cross between #1 (the Levi's from Kohl's) and #3 (Denim Supply by Ralph Lauren).
Do you hate jeans shopping as much as I do?

We are implementing DRDB + heartbeat with two servers to have a file system with failover. These servers exposes a NFS service for other servers
Currently DRDB is working just fine, but when testing we switch from one server to another the mounted folders trough NFS in the other servers just hangs.
Is there any transparent way to make this failover? Make it transparent to NFS or we need to necessary re-mount those nfs-mounted folders?

The Most Badass Cars at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show
When it comes to car shows and introducing the world to new vehicles, the yearly calendar is pretty packed. Detroit is all about American iron; Los Angeles shows off ultra luxury; Tokyo focuses on technology and powertrain; Frankfurt is all business. But every spring, the automotive world looks to the Geneva Motor Show for the newest, most badass luxury and performance cars -- and unlike so many other shows, Geneva offers both auto manufacturers and major tuning companies alike the chance to show off their latest work. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the most outrageous and notable vehicles from the year's most polished auto show.
Bugatti Chiron
Stealing more than its fair share of the limelight in Geneva was French automaker Bugatti's first model in a decade, the 1,500hp Chiron. After all, the $2.6 million Chiron had to follow the impressive act of its predecessor, the 1,200hp Veyron, and what better way to make news than with even more horsepower, luxury, and performance baked in?
Porsche 911 R
Can Porsche make the 911 an even more badass leader in performance? That's the mission of the 911 R, which infuses the key words for racing (hence the "R"): speed, lightness, and focus. Only available with a six-speed manual, the 493hp special edition caters to drivers who value performance and capability over luxury. Disappearing, for a combined 110lb weight savings, are a backseat and even door handles. Purists only, please.
Aston Martin DB11
Among the most beautiful releases in Geneva was the long-awaited successor to the Aston Martin DB9, the sultry DB11. In every way, the DB11 advances the mission of Aston Martin to offer a luxury performance car that's thoroughly British in concept and execution. The interior is now a cut-and-sewn, customizable masterpiece with tech enhancements thanks to a partnership with Mercedes-Benz. And a 5.2-liter V-12 is now turbocharged with 600hp, making quick getaways even quicker. Get ready to fulfill your James Bond fantasies.
Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Convertible
What could be more badass than chopping the top off a luxury SUV to create a convertible? That's the argument that fomented the creation of the Range Rover Evoque Convertible, which is set to launch in the near future.
Mitsubishi eX Concept
We first saw Mitsubishi's eX Concept at the Tokyo auto show last fall, where the brand with fewer and fewer product offerings surprised the home-market crowd with a new spin on the EV. In Europe, the mustard-yellow SUV received a similarly warm welcome alongside two new concepts, the less innovative "Geoseek" editions of the L200 pickup truck and Outlander/ASX. The bolder move will be for Mitsubishi to set the wheels in motion and actually produce the eX.
Toyota CH-R
In terms of styling, the Toyota CH-R is essentially a Nissan Juke without all the crazy. In terms of powertrain, it's a Prius on stilts. The jury is out on this one, but kudos to Toyota for developing a product beyond the usual sedan or crossover. The CH-R looks great.
Volvo 1800ES
It's not uncommon for automakers to flex their muscle by showing off models from their past. This mid-'70s Volvo 1800ES is a gloriously preserved example of the shapely Volvos that came to influence newer models, like the upcoming S90 and V90. Just down the hall, Jeep pursued a similar strategy, showing off a 1970s Wagoneer to a European crowd who had probably never seen one so clean.
Hyundai Ioniq
Among the luxurious, over-the-top introductions in Geneva was the first showing of the Hyundai Ioniq, the South Korean brand's upcoming assault on the Toyota Prius. The Ioniq looks almost exactly like the outgoing Prius model, with as much flair in flat white as a refrigerator, but it's loaded with technology. It may seem a bit boring in theory for Hyundai, sure, but launching a traditional hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, and an EV all at once? That's legit.
Italdesign GTZero
It's been a day or so now, and we're still not sure what to make of the all-electric Italdesign GTZero. The last time you heard about Italdesign was probably when you selected one to drive in Need for Speed. The design house, which is a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, put together the GTZero to demonstrate its prowess in electrification, and prove that a 483hp EV can be a sexy proposition. We like the supercar-inspired front end and proportions, but are iffy on the gaping-hole style of the rear hatch.
Rolls-Royce Wraith & Ghost Black Badge
How do you make a Rolls-Royce more badass? Dip the staid, time-honored badge in some dark paint for a murdered-out look no one knew they wanted. In the coming year, Rolls-Royce will introduce the "Black Badge" package for its Wraith coupe and Ghost sedan; the V-12 in the Ghost also gets slightly more power to back up the cosmetic upgrade.
McLaren P1 (in exposed carbon fiber)
Applying a traditional paint finish to a show car is so 2015. On the McLaren stand in Geneva, a P1 supercar stood out for all the right reasons: its exterior was finished in exposed carbon fiber, which was flecked blue. Apparently, according to the guys from Woking, a customer ordered a P1, and sent it back to McLaren Special Operations for a brand-new exterior finish sometime after.
Fiat 124 Abarth Spider
You've already heard about the Fiat 124 Spider, the result of a collaboration between Mazda and Fiat that allowed for an Italian-shaped variant of the Miata. The 124 Abarth shown here takes the partnership even further. Horsepower is up to 170, thanks to forced air induction provided by Abarth turbo tuning, and with stronger brakes and a stiffer suspension, it promises to be an even more focused tool for enthusiasts.
Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine by Mulliner
Of all the badass luxury cars at Geneva, we almost missed this one, simply because the 21ish-foot Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine by Mulliner was hidden away from the proletariat. Once we found the six-passenger land yacht, however, it was hard to turn our eyes away. It's a dictatorial ride par excellence, featuring windows that turn opaque, storage for all types of bubbly alcohol, an intercom to the driver, and a two-tone exterior finish. It's what Bentley's Milliner customization arm does best: make extravagant Bentleys even more excessive.
Spyker C8 Preliator
Just when you thought the Netherlands' preeminent supercar manufacturer was done for, Spyker shocked Geneva with a follow-up to its C8 Aileron. It isn't as much a new model as it is an update, as the V-8 engine returns -- but with a supercharger -- and its sub-200mph capability remains. Expect to be cosseted in leather and aluminum inside, and amazed by the signature exposed transmission tunnel. The most impressive part about the C8 Preliator (we still don't know what the name means) is its slinky, killer styling, which appears to be part-Batmobile and part-Lamborghini all at once.
Lamborghini Centenario
One look at the Lamborghini Centenario proves why it's our pick for the most badass debut in Geneva. Powered by a 770hp, 6.5-liter V-12, the Centenario commemorates a century since the birth of company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini -- who we imagine would be pretty happy with the Centenario's might. It's the most extreme execution of the Lamborghini Huracan yet.

The iPad Pro will NEVER be a computer, do you hear me? Now excuse me while I type this CSF on my mechanical keyboard (forged in that girl's tears) that will collapse my apartment building because of the vibration.
Sarcasm aside, the reason I like this iPad Pro review is because it's from an artist, not a tech pundit. Ian Barnard covers the iPad Pro and the new Apple pencil. He doesn't show off the art capabilities a whole lot, but he unboxes the devices and talks about them. Ultimately he likes the new model, and recommends upgrading to it, with the caveat that it might not be your cup of tea (British pun intended) and your wallet will have to decide.

I've promised to make this blog a little bit more personal, so here's my start! Since traveling has been a huge part of my life from a very young age, I've decided to add "travel diary" to the list of blog categories. Sooo, without further adoooo…I recently embarked on a much needed mini-sabbatical to Ocean City, NJ (I found a great deal on Living Social). Have you ever felt like you just needed to…get away? I've been working tirelessly over the past year and needed some alone time with not only myself but with Lord as well (my #1 relationship). I caught up on some biblical reading, praising, worshipping and sat back to appreciate the Master's scenic artisty. I'm slightly embarrassed (that it took me so long) but elated to finally finished the Gospel of John and….wow! All I can say is Einstein (who was a Jew, by the way) said it best in an interview for The Saturday Evening Post in 1929: "No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."
I think every human being on the planet owes it to themselves to read the Gospel of John, whether you're a believer or not. Anywho, here are a few pics I snapped on the nikon.
A bean burrito meal I enjoyed from a vegan friendly restaurant on the boardwalked called Bashful Banana.
Mmmmmm sorbeto!!!! I think the flavor was "very berry," and it was dairy free!
Absolutely the most average tasting fries I've ever had. What they really should be marketing is that lemonade which was spectacular!
More pics of the bed and breakfast I stayed at to be posted soon-ish (y'all know how I do).
Have a blessed one!

The Impact of State Safety-Net Programs and Household Assets on Poverty during the Great Recession
The Great Recession led to sharp decreases in income and increases in poverty rates across the U.S. However, the severity of the impact of the recession on individual families varied based on the interaction of a number of factors: the local intensity of the recession, the strength of the local social safety net, and the level of individual household assets. Keith Bentele will conduct a study of the state variation of the social safety net and racial and ethnic differences in asset holdings in order to better understand how these and other factors determine whether or not a family fell into poverty between 2007 and 2009.
During the Great Recession, there was a notable variation in state unemployment rates, from 15% in Nevada to only 4% in North Dakota. State poverty rates varied as well, but they did not correlate perfectly with state unemployment levels, due to differences in the states' social safety nets. In order to better understand this interaction, Bentele will use the Current Population Survey data to measure what percentage of family income came from employment, investments, and government benefits before, during, and after the recession, allowing him to examine how income from different sources and total income changed during the recession.

Department passes
The new Douwe Egberts coffee machines were put into use just before summer. There is a free variant for employees, operated via the employees card. In principle, all UT employees should be able to obtain coffee this way, but there are still a few exceptions (after all, this is UT). We would like to introduce a department pass on a limited basis as a way of resolving this.
A department pass can be requested via the department pass web form and will be assessed by the director of operations or the director of the service department. The following departments may apply for passes:
- Department/service department secretary's offices
- Faculty Offices/Staff
- Service Desks
The form below can be used for the application.
The following details must be provided on the form:
- Department
- Contact person; the pass will be issued in the name of this person
In the case of a fault and/or loss, this should be reported to firstname.lastname@example.com immediately. The pass will then be blocked.
Jug keys
To date, it has not been possible from a software perspective to use the passes to fill the jugs with coffee or (tea) water. Special jug keys will therefore be issued. Jug keys will only be issued to secretary's offices. The keys are for the dispensers.
Every secretary's office will receive 1 key, issued via the contact person for the faculty/service department. Loss of a key will require replacement of the lock and all the other keys for this dispenser and the cost will be charged to the faculty/service department (UT internal bank acc. no.). Therefore, please treat the key with extra care.

Argentinean writer/director Sergio Bizzio directs ANIMALADA (aka ANIMAL) the extremely bizarre and horrific black comedy about a man who falls in love with "Fanny", a sheep at his family's vacation ranch! Distracted and unhappy with his current marriage, Alberto (Carlo Roffe) seeks comfort with "Fanny" in a nearby barn. He tries to hide his beastly relationship as long as he can, but family matters soon get in the way and people start to die horribly, as Alberto kills and grinds up body parts into his new partner's food. His relationship with the farm animal is taboo and the secret must be kept… even if that means putting his own family in jeopardy!
Arguably one of the most jaw-dropping and bizarre titles ever released by Synapse Films, ANIMALADA is sure to please horror fans with its unconventional humor and shocking subject matter.

Reader Question: What's the low down on coconut milk? The full on version seems to contain so much saturated fat, is this a good thing?
Answer: Yes, the full on fat version of coconut milk is indeed a good thing, even with all of its saturated fat. One of the more controversial aspects of primal eating in our modern time, is the importance placed on eating fat. Fat helps us to feel full and satisfied. Fat is also crucial for the structure of each of our cell's membranes and the formation and regulation of our hormones. I like to say fat is our friend, it is integral to our overall health. The most eye opening example for me, was taking a look at the native Inuit people who ate sea mammals and blubber as the majority of their diet. There wasn't much else for them to hunt, gather, or forage in their subzero climate. Surprisingly, the Inuit people were incredible healthy and free of the diseases that plague us in modern times until they were introduced to processed foods and poor quality vegetable oils like grapeseed, canola, cottonseed, and peanut.
Let's specifically address the fat in coconut, which consists of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). Medium chain fatty acids do not have a negative effect on cholesterol and they have been shown to help lower the risk of both atherosclerosis and heart disease. The size of the fatty acid, whether it is short, medium or long, is actually more important than whether it is saturated or unsaturated. The poorer fat choices, whether they are saturated or unsaturated or come from animals or plants, are composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). The size of the fatty acid is extremely important because our bodies respond to and metabolize each fatty acid differently depending on its size. Short (my favorite being butter) and medium chain fatty acids are both immediately used for energy, so they are not stored easily as adipose tissue on your body or spend time clogging up your arteries.
The main issue with canned coconut milk is that it often comes in a Bisphenol A (BPA) lined can. BPA has been linked to cancer, birth defects, miscarriages, obesity, and insulin resistance. It is best to avoid food from BPA lined cans, especially coconut milk because toxins tend to be stored well in fat. There are BPA free cans of coconut milk or coconut milk in packages that are available.
Note on what is whole coconut milk and what isn't: Whole coconut milk just contains coconut milk and often some brands contain guar gum to stabilize and thicken it. I have a few clients who find that they are sensitive to guar gum. Coconut milk beverages are also now sold, mostly in the refrigerator section of the store. The coconut beverage is thinner than whole milk and contains many more ingredients, it can still be considered Paleo. I have not personally attempted to cook with coconut beverage.
Here are some additional sources on saturated fat that go into greater scientific detail:
