text: Press release | 2013-05-08 | 13:10 PM Offshore works for EOWDC could lead to deployment of pioneering foundations A major programme of offshore works are due to start tomorrow (Thursday, May 9) for the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) and which could lead to pioneering turbine foundation designs being developed at the more than £230million test facility. The programme involves a series of geotechnical boreholes being performed between 2.5km and 4km off Aberdeen's coast including drilling work to validate the findings of desk top research. The work is being carried out by Fugro Geoconsulting Limited with the geotechnical drilling vessel M/V Markab. Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm Ltd, the company driving forward the EOWDC, commissioned the work which is being supported by The Carbon Trust's flagship research and development scheme, the Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA). EOWDC project spokesman, Iain Todd, said: "This is an exciting development for the project. As a result of discussions with The Carbon Trust, we are investigating the potential to demonstrate innovative foundation designs emerging from the OWA initiative including gravity-based foundations, twisted jackets and suction buckets. "The geotechnical surveys, which are being conducted as part of the overall development process, will help us gain a further understanding of what is under the seabed and enable us to progress with foundation type selection and design. The opportunity to incorporate next generation foundations into the EOWDC would further enhance the scheme's position as an industry-leading centre for accelerating the development of offshore wind and associated technology and innovations." The OWA is a collaborative initiative which brings together nine offshore wind developers in a joint industry project aimed at working towards reducing the cost of offshore wind by at least 10% by 2015. Phil de Villiers, Head of Offshore Wind at the Carbon Trust, said: "EOWDC is a tremendous opportunity for the industry to demonstrate novel foundations tailored for deeper waters. The geotechnical investigations will allow innovative designs to be selected that push right up to the limits of what is technically feasible at the site. The new designs have tremendous potential to drive down the cost of offshore wind, and demonstration at EOWDC will show they are ready for commercial use." As part of the geotechnical surveys, which are expected to run for about 10 days, a geotechnical drilling vessel will be mobilised and the work will include sampling and in situ testing in boreholes at four of the 11 proposed turbine locations in water depths ranging from around 22metres to 30metres. The EOWDC is a cutting-edge demonstration facility for up to 11 turbines and associated technology which, with expected capital expenditure of more than £230 million, would prove to be a major investment in Scotland's renewables infrastructure and a vital boost to its offshore wind ambitions. As a global hub of innovation, it will place Aberdeen City and Shire at the heart of the development of new technologies to serve UK Round 3 offshore wind projects and play a vital role in the rapidly-evolving European offshore wind sector by accelerating the growth of an efficient, cost effective and technologically-advanced offshore wind industry. In March, 2013, the Scottish Government approved consent for the project which has also been awarded up to €40 million of European funding. The EOWDC is a joint venture between Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG) and Vattenfall, which is a member of the Carbon Trust's OWA, along with Technip Offshore Wind as a consortium partner.

Getting him angry turns garbage into cult sneakers.
When Arthur Huang was an architecture student at Harvard in 2002, the self-professed slacker heard an Al Gore speech about the environment. "He was inspiring but I was pissed off because everyone is doing all this talking," Huang tells Moneyish. "I'm an angry, jumpy guy...one day I thought, 'f—k all this. Let's do something real.'"
Huang, the co-founder and CEO of Taiwan-based design and engineering firm Miniwiz, turned his rage into becoming a master of upcycling, or reusing discarded materials to create new products — and has even used the process to create $250 Nike kicks made mostly from waste. The all-black NikeLab Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 x Arthur Huang is billed as the lightest pair of Air Max kicks ever and launched in China and Taiwan last week. Miniwiz even redesigned the packaging, creating a stackable shoebox produced entirely from upcycled materials such as coffee lids and milk and orange juice containers. They'll be on sale worldwide in mid-April.
Miniwiz's first product was a solar powered-fueled phone charger made from recycled paper and its success—sparked in part by the introduction of the iPhone in 2007—allowed Huang to invest in developing upcycled building materials. The company's greatest hits include factories and restaurants made from bricks of PET plastic—also used for water bottles—as well as a colorful webbed pavilion crafted from Nike's Flyknit material for the 2012 Beijing design week. "When you zoom into the molecular structure, shoes, plants and building structures look like the same thing," the 39-year-old says.
Today, his clients include companies like Starwood Hotels & Resorts as well as tobacco giant Philip Morris, for whom he built a pavilion from cigarette filters. But for the most part, Huang—who spent most of his childhood in Taiwan, an island-nation known as one of the world's best recyclers— isn't impressed by corporate green fingers.
For instance, a recently released study disclosed that yoga pants and other athletic clothes often shed microfiber plastics that end up polluting the ocean, though many of these clothing labels have cultivated a hip, eco-friendly image. "Microfiber feels ultra soft but it's just technology that tricks people in feeling a sensation," he says. "There's lead, chromium and other carcinogens in your bright red leggings. This is the stuff that kills people."

What happens to the hens that lay your breakfast eggs after their working life is over? They used to be sent for slaughter at a cost because there was little value in an older hen bred for its productivity, not its meat.
These days, most can be sold for a small price to the overseas market where they will go into chicken pastes and soups, but there is a happier alternative; hens that are a little over a year old can be rehomed and provide eggs, albeit at a lower rate than when they are farmed intensively, for the growing number of families around the UK who want pets with benefits.
The rehoming is largely down to the vision of one woman, Jane Howorth, who was haunted by a Panorama programme on farm animal welfare she saw as a teenager. As an adult, moving to Devon and acquiring a third of an acre of garden, she decided to do something about it and after persuading a local egg producer to give her his older hens when it was time to replace them she set up a charity to rehome more. That was in 2005, and in the intervening time, The British Hen Welfare Trust has found retirement homes for more than 370,0000 ex-battery and caged birds.
When the last of my previous small flock of hens had shuffled off its roost, I put my name down to rehome some ex-caged birds. It was a long wait, but I eventually received an email giving me a time and a map reference near St Andrews and an instruction to bring plenty of cardboard boxes with air slits.
The rehoming day is run by the charity like a military operation. "The rehoming team have to get up very early, collect the hens, sometimes as many as 2000 in one go, and borrow a barn or a stable in which to hold them while their new owners come and collect. It is pretty dirty work," says Jane Howarth.
She is keen not to berate farmers, without whose cooperation the charity couldn't function. "We want to see a thriving British egg industry so they have to be treated with respect and understanding. In Scotland we need more farmers to get on board; we can pay the going rate for ex-caged birds and as we collect, it is an advantage to them."
It is a great charity which provides hens that have been farmed intensively with a taste of natural life. Certainly getting my eight girls home was an experience. They weren't the best looking of specimens; with bald patches, limps and scraggly tail feathers I worried that passers-by might report me for mistreating them.
The following day I opened up the hen house and tentatively the bravest made her way out blinking into the sunshine for the first time, as these hens would have been kept inside with little daylight. Within two days all were out into their enclosure and within a week they were scratching and pecking, cooing and clucking and I was getting around five eggs a day, although not always in the nesting box. An early problem was that they weren't very steady on their feet and their sudden tipping over was alarming and hysterical in equal measures. A switch to high protein food cured them overnight.
A couple of weeks later we let them go free range and the gate was opened to a new life of scratching in the rose bushes and dabbling in the burn. They are very tame and unfazed by approaches from cats and dogs, quite happy to fight their corner if they stray too close. At the end of the day they make their way back to the hen house to be shut in.
The eggs they lay are sometimes misshapen, but with wonderful buttery yolks they taste better than anything you could buy in a shop.
In fact our only problem was coming up with names, while Limpy, Baldy and Skeletor would be the easiest to identify them, my 15-year-old daughter, Lizzie, objected and has christened them rather grandly, Una, Dulcie, Troilus, Vera, Petra, Cicely, Septima and Octavia. At the moment we can tell them apart, but as their feathers grow back and they get up to full strength it will be more difficult. Shouting "Hennies" does the trick, especially if you have some strawberry tops on offer and there is something very satisfying in seeing them come lolloping towards you from all corners of their new domain.
The next rehoming in Scotland is scheduled for August, visit www.bhwt.org.uk to register or make a donation.

A loan shark used to be the go-to guy when you needed quick, easy money and were willing to pay through the nose in interest. These days "hard money loans" don't carry such a stigma: The term "private equity consultant" sounds better than "loan shark." And many high-profile East End builders are taking advantage of these high-interest loans from private investors to finance their projects. It's an industry that few know exists, and it's hugely beneficial to lender, investor, and the middlemen who make it happen.
Sure, banks still finance builder projects. As Jim Whitehouse, senior vice president of residential and multifamily lending at Suffolk National Bank, said, "Ben's [Krupinski] a good customer of the bank. I hope he doesn't run too fast to private equity." Of course the banks charge less exorbitant fees. And they employ research and development to introduce new packages that conform to the laws that tie their hands.
But, according to Brendan Byrne, a real estate broker with the Global Group in Southampton, "Since the banking crisis, banks are not aggressively lending — they're more in the business of charging fees." Mr. Byrne's "primary stream of income is hard-money lending," he said, which he does through his company Hamptons Financial. "I'm not the type of person doing open houses and serving brownies." Instead, the former stock trader works the deal from beginning to end, helping builders find both lots and financing.
Even Mr. Whitehouse admits "private equity is going to become more popular." Governed by less stringent rules, private equity lenders "can structure deals more liberally than a bank can."
Because of the losses banks incurred during the financial crisis, they are risk averse. The irony, Mr. Byrne said, is "banks are willing to lend money to people who don't need it."
The way these deals work is this: Private investors — doctors, lawyers, probably even Indian chiefs — looking for a generous return lend typically from $200,000 up. In return, they get 10 or 12-percent interest at the end of the loan term, usually a year, or two at the outside. Upon closing, they also receive two to five points (each point being 1 percent of the loan). Then they pay the private equity broker his commission, about 1 or 2 percent, pocketing up to the high teens. Let's face it, the opportunities for investors to see returns in the double digits are rare.
Why are borrowers paying such high rates, when banks are charging 4 to 6 percent? Mr. Bryne works with James Hovanec, a private equity consultant who saw the writing on the wall after the banking collapse. In 2008 he was a mortgage broker and former banker who switched from residential lending to commercial lending.
Mr. Hovanec, managing partner in Link Asset Solutions in Lindenhurst, explained that a builder, let's say Joe Farrell for our purposes, needs loans "for multiple projects at once." Banks, he said, finance one at a time. According to Mr. Hovanec, getting one bank loan takes "at least 90 to 100 days," and is often a "five-month cycle." Not to mention the fact that it can be "stressful, time-consuming, and paper-oriented." On the other hand, he said, "We can underwrite it in five days," and "I don't need your tax returns."
With conventional long-term mortgages, the borrower pays the interest before the capital, and by the end of the term can pay more than double the capital in interest. With a hard-money loan you are paying less than 20 percent of the capital, with both interest and capital due at end of term.
These bridge loans are in essence construction loans, paid back once the builder finds a buyer, which could be very quickly after starting to build. The sooner a buyer makes the purchase, the better the chances of customizing the property. "We provide capital so they can build till they find the buyer," said Mr. Hovanec. "Once they start building, they start marketing."
The good news for the investors is that there's virtually no risk. "Only limited markets are investment-worthy," said Mr. Bryne. With Mr. Hovanec, they are working other hot spots including Williamsburg in Brooklyn, Long Island City, and parts of the Bronx. "The market in the city and the Hamptons is hot," he said. "Just west [of the Hamptons] is not."
And the investment is secured by real estate; instead of investing in a fund, the investor is putting his money on a particular asset. "We're lending on as high as 75 percent of the value of the property," said Mr. Hovanec. Hard-money lending has higher equity requirements than bank lending, where it is theoretically possible to buy a house putting down 5 percent. Even if the loan defaults, the hard-money lender can foreclose on the property. "It's a highly secured investment . . . the investor is protected by the asset. It puts everyone on an even playing field."
Link Asset Solutions has about $25 million out in loans in the Hamptons and another $100 million in the city.
Mr. Hovanec and his ilk do not lend to residential buyers. The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) protects consumers against what the government considers usury. This is not to say that all hard-money lenders are kittens. There are unscrupulous lenders who target residential homebuyers who, through low credit scores or lack of documentation, don't qualify for bank loans. These are the vultures hoping you'll default so that your equity reverts to them. "We're not in the business of evicting people," said Mr. Byrne.
As for builders, Mr. Byrne said, "anyone building is getting hard-money loans."

"What was your first job in a restaurant?" I asked.
"I was a hostess," she answered. "I was 17. I didn't even apply for the job."
Our waiter placed the appetizer, fried stuffed squash blossoms, in front of us.
"Bon appetit," he said in an accent that sounded authentically French.
They were golden brown and crunchy on the outside and filled with creamy Brie and olive oil. We were sitting outside at a little table at a little French bistro on a little street in the West Village a little while ago, on one of those summer nights when you can't tell the difference between the air and your skin and you seem to fit perfectly into the world.
"What do you mean, you didn't apply for the job? How did you get it then?" I asked her.
"Well, I had gone in to eat lunch, and I was by myself because my cousin worked there, and he told me they were looking for someone and that I would get the job since I was pretty." She shrugged as if the fact of her beauty was of no consequence.
"Was that weird — I mean, that you were hired because of how you looked? Did it make you uncomfortable?"
She waited while our waters were refilled. "Thank you," we both murmured involuntarily.
"I wasn't uncomfortable, in the sense that I knew I would do a good job. I was confident in my ability." She paused, biting her lip, thinking. "My whole life I've been dealing with people telling me how pretty I am, like strange men following me and stuff. But that summer I was completely objectified. I was told to wear certain dresses and the comments were obscene from the men sitting at the bar or waiting for tables. Somebody grabbed my ass."
"Did you tell the management?"
"Yeah, but they were just like, 'Oh, he's a regular. He probably didn't mean anything by it. It's so crowded it was probably just an accident, he probably brushed you when he walked by.' Stuff like that."
"Why didn't you leave?"
"I needed to save money for a car, for school. I didn't want the hassle of finding a new job . . . and I liked the people, the ones I worked with and the ones I met at the door. It kept me busy and I knew that restaurant experience was something I could take with me when I went away to college."
The appetizer plates were cleared. "Would you like another glass of wine, madame?" the waiter asked us, winking. We both nodded.
"So when you became a waitress, what was the biggest surprise for you?"
"Um, I guess I was thrown by how frequently people dismissed me. The ones that treated me like I wasn't even human or like I was sub-level. Like — look over there." She indicated through the window to the bar, where a single woman was seated. The woman was looking down at her phone while asking the bartender something. He was attempting to answer her while also trying to slide a place mat in front of her, but she didn't pick up her elbows to accommodate him.
"I mean," she continued, "if you're going out to eat, be conscious of your surroundings. I get that I'm here to wait on you, but sometimes you have to meet me halfway."
"But as a paying guest, don't you think she has the right to act in a way that's most comfortable for her?"
"Sure, to a point. But that was just rude," she said and shook her head.
"Madame," said the waiter. I leaned back and he placed a tarte flambée on the table. "Bon appetit," he said again.
"Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you where you're from?"
"Ah, well. Me, I'm from Argentina, actually. But I've been working in this beautiful restaurant for 18 years and I find that people who are dining in a French restaurant prefer their waiters to sound French." He laughed.
"Did people give you a hard time because of your Spanish accent?"
"Well, let me tell you that it made it difficult to interact, and personally I wanted to learn and meet people, and it was easier with a French accent. But let me tell you, the rudest customer I ever had was offended when I call her 'Madame.' She said, 'This is America. Why did you call me that?' I cannot believe it. But, you know, I have dignity. I was proud of how I handled it. I'm still happy, laughing, enjoying myself. I don't have customers; I have friends. You beautiful ladies enjoy your dinner. You need anything, I'm right here."
I watched him walk down his row of tables, checking on each one in turn, smiling, asking a question, clearing a plate. We bit into our entrees and sighed at the flavor. We lifted our glasses of wine and drank. Our bodies melted into the air and all around us people ate and drank and the waiters waited.

Conducting a Thorough Feasibility Study
Imagine that you've just come up with an idea for a new project. You believe that it will save your organization time and money, and, full of enthusiasm, you pitch it to your manager.
However, she has some questions. She wants to know if your project is commercially viable, whether it's compatible with the technology that your team uses, and how it could affect on-going work.
To prepare for questions like these, you could use the TELOS framework – a five-step process that guides you through key aspects of a feasibility study.
In this article, we'll look at how you can use TELOS to assess the viability of a project or idea.
About the Model
James A. Hall set out the TELOS framework in his 2007 book, "Accounting Information Systems," and he explained how you can use it as the basis of a feasibility study.
By using it, you can improve the "design" of a project to make it more successful, and you can spot projects that are fundamentally flawed, before you've invested time and effort in them.
TELOS is an acronym for five key areas that you need to explore as part of your study:
- Technological.
- Economic.
- Legal.
- Organizational.
- Scheduling.
The TELOS framework is often used in project management to test the viability of an idea, but you can also use it more generally to analyze whether a proposed project idea is sound.
Applying the Model
Follow the steps below to apply the TELOS framework to a proposed project.
1. Technological
Your first step is to look at the technological requirements of your planned project, and examine how technology will affect its success. Think about these questions:...

Well I guess this is growing up.
Of all the bands that have made their name in the pop punk scene over the years, very few can claim to be as iconic and prevailing as Blink-182.
This three-piece rock outfit got their start in the southern California skate punk scene before rising to the mainstream and taking the world of music by storm. And despite lineup changes, a notorious hiatus, and personal tragedy among the band's members, Blink has endured for just over twenty-five years now.
In addition to their various demos, EPs, and compilations, Blink-182 has a released a total of seven studio albums over their long career. When listened to in succession, these records really paint a picture of just how much their style has evolved over time, as well as of their uncanny ability to go from carefree to poignant and back again at a moment's notice.
Now that Blink's most recent studio release, 'California' (and its deluxe edition), has been out for some time, it seems as good a time as any to try and decide which album from this iconic group's heterogeneous catalog is the very best.

text: FishbowlThe Stefanie Powers Picture Gets SmallerBy Richard Horgan|November 2, 2010 ShareBy Richard Horgan|November 2, 2010 Share In what has to rank as one of the year's strangest bits of personal juxtaposition, actress Stefanie Powers is busy this week promoting a new book about her nine-year affair with William Holden just a few months after starring as Norma Desmond in an east coast stage production of Sunset Boulevard.The actress tells L.A. Times classic film beat writer Susan King that the inspiration for her November 2nd autobiography From the Hart was sparked last year by the death of her mother and her own, since cured cancer diagnosis. When she touches on another tangential reason for the book, it's hard – at least for us – not to think of the way Holden's character famously speaks from beyond a watery grave at the beginning of the 1950 Billy Wilder film.Says Powers:"There was another book about Bill that had 'direct' quotes from people that I know the author could never had gotten because they were dead by the time he wrote the book… I thought son of a gun, all that has ever been written about Bill is going to remain the standard by which everybody judges him."Hart's book is being released eleven years to the day since the November 2, 1999 publication of Cameron Crowe's Conversations with Wilder.

Today is the first day of the Blog Your Book in 30 Days 2016 challenge! We have our own badge, if you'd like to use it.
First, for those of you who are new, here's a bit of information about the challenge (which you can also find by clicking on some of the links at the top of the page).
About the challenge:
Blog Your Book in 30 Days is a challenge to write the first draft of your book by posting one chapter a day for an entire month. During the month of the challenge, helpful blog posts will be shared on the website.
The challenge is here to help you write the book you have always wanted to write but have never written. Whether you want to write a memoir, a fiction novel, a comic book, a children's chapter book or middle grade novel or a non-fiction book, this challenge is going to help you get it done.
Every day, you are going to do any research that is needed for the day's writing and your are going to post a blog post of one chapter of your book. By the end of the month, you should have 30 chapters and a completed first draft.
This way of writing your books works best if you are planning to self-publish your book, but there are some instances where blogs have garnered the attention of agents and publishers and resulted in book deals. Those instances are the exception though, not the rule.
But the rules are much more flexible than they may seem by reading the "about" section, so here are the rules (which can also be found by clicking on one of the links at the top of the page).
The rules of the challenge:
Sign up. You will not be entered into the prize drawings unless you are signed up. Sign up here.
You have from the first of the month until the 30th of the month to complete the first draft of your book. No starting early, unless it is only research and outline you are working on beforehand.
On the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 30th of the month, you will do a quick comment on that day's blog post posted on this blog about that week stating how the week has gone for you and anything you have learned or achieved from the challenge that week. Your comment might be quoted in the Blog Your Book in 30 Days book when it comes out or later in the blog itself and, by commenting, you are giving permission for your quote to be used. (You will be named with the quote.)
Each day, you are to write one chapter and then copy and paste it into your day's blog post. By the end of the challenge, you should have a final word count. On the 30th, your comment will include your final word count and whether or not you have finished your first draft. Everyone who completes their first draft will be entered into a prize drawing. (The prize this year is a collection of different, mostly home-made things, and the items will be pictured on the blog as we go through the challenge, one thing at a time.) Every time you leave a comment on (one comment per post) a blog post, you will earn one more entry into the drawing. Your comments on the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 30th will earn you two entries into the drawing, and my favourite comment from each of those five days will earn an extra entry.
This challenge is self-driven and monitored. It is a way to keep yourself accountable as you write.
There are some optional ways of following this challenge for those who plan on having their books published traditionally rather than self-published.
1. Write your one chapter every day, but only post on your blog about the writing, such as how much you wrote, what part of the story you were working on, what was easy about it, what was difficult about it, whether it stayed on plan or strayed from the original plot idea, etc. (Have you made a book cover for your book, even just a working cover? Share that too!)
2. Write your one chapter every day, but only post a small (one paragraph) excerpt from that day's writing as your blog post for the day.
3. Blog your book as per the original plan, but leave out important chapters, which will only be seen in the finished product. (This is mostly a good idea for those who plan on self-publishing, but not so much if you plan on submitting your book elsewhere. But it's still an option if you are certain you can build up a large following for your book as a publisher will take that into account.)
4. Use this challenge to edit a previously written book and make notes on the blog about the editing process as you work through the different issues in your book.
The main point of this challenge is to get your book written and to build up a following for it before it comes out.
Good luck!
Go ahead and grab a badge from below:
The first time I ran this challenge, I wrote a daily blog post on different topics having to do with writing. Feel free to read through previous posts. My posts might not be as informative during this challenge in 2017, but I intend to make sure you will have at least one informative post to learn from each week.

Using an easy-to-follow printable Bible study format, this overview of the Bible leads students of middle or early high school age and adults through Scripture, training them to grow in knowledge and love for God's Word.
Printable Kid's Bible Lessons
Be sure to check out this great kid's Bible lesson. Your kids need to be old enough to read on their own and do some simple comprehension questions.
The Bible is often neglected or weakly emphasized in the education of our kids. However, author Starr Meade contends that God's Word is the most important thing a Christian will ever study. This introductory overview of the message of the Bible encourages middle and high school students to explore God's Word for themselves. Available in multiple volumes or as a set, The Most Important Thing You'll Ever Study leads young teens through the story of the Bible chronologically, teaching them about important themes and topics, such as the role of God as the main character of his own story and the relationship between Scripture's divine inspiration and human authorship.
This has been an amazing kid's Bible study for my 4 kids. I've been looking for Bible lessons for kids for some time – and this beats nearly all of the Bible curriculum we've looked at for home school. Although there are lots of children's Bible story books for younger kids, I've been really disappointed looking for material for older kids. Be sure to check this out, and download the printable kids Bible study to start with! ~ BD

Good Cholesterol Foods List – 10 Foods that Increase HDL Cholesterol!
When we think of good cholesterol foods, we typically think of those that will not contribute to an increase in cholesterol levels but help to lower them instead. However, that is only part of the equation. What often forgotten about is HDL (good) cholesterol. While it may not get the same famed status as the more sinister of the cholesterol types, HDL cholesterol is also very important. And, like LDL cholesterol, HDL levels can also be affected by dietary intake.
Top 10 Simple Yet Delicious Recipes to Lower Cholesterol
When it comes to recipes to lower cholesterol, it may seem like there just are not many delicious and fulfilling choices. However, that could not be further from the truth. There are numerous meal options that not only can help contribute to lower cholesterol numbers, but that do so without sacrificing taste, texture and enjoyment.
Cholesterol in Chicken – Why Chicken Meat May Not Be Your First Choice!
In terms of heart healthy meats, it seems that few choices stack up to chicken (boneless, skinless white breast meat that is). However, not everything about the cholesterol in chicken is as rosy at it appears. And it is possible that the Thanksgiving delight, turkey, may in fact be a superior poultry option for those with moderate to elevated levels of cholesterol. So why and how is this when both bird types are considered better options in terms of cholesterol than other meats and shellfish

THE DEAD GOATS - Ferox (Self released - CDR 2014)
It was quite unexpected, but definitely a nice surprise to see that The Dead Goats releases a demo. Unexpected, because they only just released their last MLP "Children of the Fungus" few months ago and besides, it is not something common, when a band with a debut album and MLP releases a demo. But this is a great surprise, also because I have enjoyed the previous recordings of The Dead Goats totally, so it is never too much to hear good music from such an awesome band. I managed to get a copy of "Ferox" on CDR, which the band released themselves in limited quantity of 300 copies, but there is also a tape version released by Arachnophobia Records (100 copies only), which may interest the die hard maniacs as well.
"Ferox" are basically just three songs, so this material would probably be perfect also for a 7" single, not just for the demo. Anyway, with these three songs the Goats only proved to be excellent band and that they unleash some of the better death metal from the Polish abyss these days. These three songs are enough to cause a serious hearing damage and neck ache, and I say that after listening to "Ferox" several times, playing it loud as hell and banging the skull maniacally. Love this music, love the production of the demo (which is better than the sound of "Children of the Fungus" in my opinion!) and these aggressive, furious, a little punky death metal songs, so deeply rotted in the Swedish dods metal scene. Finally, I love the riffs and that dark, sinister horror atmosphere of this music – which is only underlined by the brilliantly fitting intros (supposedly taken from the old "Dracula" movie). With all these things "Ferox" seems to be like the best of all The Dead Goats recordings so far. This music is sick, but infectious like the deadliest of all diseases. "Final Death" is so fuckin awesome song that it will make your ears bleed and the people will run away from you, when they smell the putrid stench of the dead and goat's poo which you'll be soaking with after listening to this music. Arrghhhh, fuckin beautiful, no more words are needed here. Praise the goat again, eat his shit and listen to "Ferox".Final rate: 90/100
