The Canadian sextet Three Inches of Blood evokes a throwback to heavy metal's youthful 1980s heyday. The band's Iron Maiden-like galloping riffs and solos are speeded up to thrash metal tempos, topped with "Dungeons & Dragons" styled lyrics and titles such as 'Destroy the Orcs' and 'Ride Darkhorse, Ride.' Their latest is 'Advance and Vanquish.' The End forms a scorching set list of inspired covers to melodic, original music heavily influenced in classic and modern rock.

Austin's feminist bookstore, Book Woman, supports its readers in having great relationships, whether same sex or straight. It will be hosting a book signing of "Intimacies: Secrets of Love, Sex & Romance" on Weds, Nov. 28, 2007. How to enjoy successful, stimulating romantic relationships is the subject of the book that features selected columns from The Good Life magazine and is illustrated with photographs of nude figurative art by Arye Shapiro. This 196-page book includes personal essays, how-to advice, reports on trends, explorations of human behavior, and the accounts of many people who shared their real stories of love, sex and romance. Each article is categorized by subject matter (love and romance, sex and sexuality, commitment, and money) and for whom it may be relevant (singles or couples). Since 2002, Karen's insights about love and lovers have opened minds. She shares these insights in her monthly magazine column and in public discussion groups. Recently, Karen has started an online discussion forum on relationships at www.trueintimacies.com. Karen wrote the bestselling "60-Day Diet Diary" (Dell, 1982), and her work has been published by national magazines, newspapers and online services.
