Clean water for everyone in more than 2000 villages
This month, World Vision Water announced a major accomplishment and something of a miracle: this year, we've provided clean drinking water to every man, woman, and child in 2,416 villages in Africa!
Read about our ambitious plan for universal coverage with clean water!
World Vision has been investing with our partners in providing clean water to villages in Africa for decades because we know that clean water changes everything for people who suffer from water-related diseases and spend much of their day hauling water for long distances. So what is new about this announcement?
Providing clean drinking water in 2,416 villages represents a paradigm shift for World Vision, and for the development community, because it's a radical change in the way we do our work. For decades, we worked to provide water access and improved sanitation and hygiene fairly across the areas in which we worked.
An analogy that may help explain our past approach is the way you spread butter on your toast. We spread the butter, or in this case the water, evenly throughout communities. We were essentially working to gradually increase the water access for those lacking clean water everywhere we have large-scale water programs.
That in itself has been a massive effort and allowed us to reach one new person with clean water every 30 seconds. This unprecedented scale and our belief that every child deserves clean water have driven us to go even further.
Now, instead of spreading water access evenly throughout communities, we're focused on getting the job done in village after village and then moving on to new villages. Our goal is simple: Everyone should have access to clean water that lasts. This approach allows for much greater efficiency and, in fact, has helped us drive the cost of sustainable water access and improved sanitation and hygiene down to $50 per person!
It's a new way of thinking that is needed to help solve the global water crisis within our lifetimes. The development community is aligning with the fact that this is possible, and it's called "universal coverage." World Vision is committed to doing our share in reaching this goal of universal coverage to solve the global water crisis.
One of the lead countries for this work is Zambia, where I recently visited more than 20 villages in difficult to reach rural areas, and where everyone now has clean water. Several of these villages had just gained access to clean water, and I joined in the celebration of water erupting from the wells. Amazingly, in Zambia alone this year, we've provided water to everyone in more than 400 villages!
A memorable part of my trip to Zambia is the time I spent with Victoria Kayumba, a mother of three children whose village had recently gained water access through the provision of two new boreholes. Victoria told me that her previous water source was a pond and I thought it would be best to see it.
We scrambled down a steep embankment for more than a mile and she described the hardship and danger of hauling 40 pounds of water up this hill several times a day. She told me that it's not uncommon for the women and children to fall and hurt themselves while navigating this hill, particularly in the rainy season when it's slippery.
When we reach the pond, a small herd of cattle enters the water with Victoria, and the cattle do what comes natural and relieve themselves. The water is disgusting and it's hard to believe that people in this community survived drinking this contaminated water. But now things have changed!
Victoria sings and laughs with her friend on the easy walk to the new borehole that is very close to her home. She's thrilled that not only her family, but that everyone in the village, now has clean water from the boreholes that World Vision provided. And Victoria tells me that they know they need to maintain the water sources and are paying a small fee so that there's money available when repairs are needed.
Today is a great day for this community and, with our new focus on getting the job done, it's a great day for thousands of villages in Africa. Our World Vision staff will celebrate in the communities in which we live and work, and tomorrow the work begins again.
We won't stop until the job is done and everyone has clean water that lasts!
We're not stopping after Zambia! Help us reach even more people all around the world with universal coverage for clean water. Donate to our clean water efforts!
Or make a long-term pledge to help support a child and a community: sponsor a child today!

'I am the shooter' Orlando gunman's chilling confession after US nightclub massacre
THE murderer who carried out the US' deadliest massacre made a chilling confession to news station News 13 after the shooting.
Omar Mateen, 29, brutally killed a staggering 49 people in the gay nightclub Pulse attack in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Matthew Gentili took the chilling call to the mass murderer 45 minutes after the shooting began.
He said: "I will never forget the words he said to me. I'm definitely changed.
"I'm the shooter. It's me. I am the shooter"The caller
"When you get a phone call like that, I'm never going to be able to answer the phone again without thinking this is the most serious call I'll ever get in my life."
Mr Gentili recalled how the person on the other phone asked if the broadcaster knew about the shooting.
"I'm the shooter. It's me. I am the shooter," Matthew said the caller told him
And then the gunman spoke quickly and fluently in another language.
But when the broadcaster asked him to speak in English, the shooter pledged his allegiance to ISIS.
The caller said: "I did it for ISIS. I did it for the Islamic State."
The FBI interviewed Gentili after he finished his shift.
But they won't confirm whether or not he spoke to the killer.
News 13's managing editor has traced the call and matched the phone to the shooter's phone number.
Mateen also called 911 after the massacre.
The deadly attack has brought on fresh calls for tighter gun controls in the US.
But Seddique Mateen, the Orlando gunman's father, blames the nightclub's security.
It emerged the mass killer was a regular at the Pulse club and used a gay dating app.
And the terrorist's wife could now face charges as she "knew about his evil plan".

Aviatrix, 04.13
Free standing scrap art | $250
The wonderful 1930s General Electric fan was donated by my pals, the Lazarons (thanks so much) – I attached the leather boot to the back of the fan and sprayed in some expandable insulation foam. It dried super firm and light, so the aviatrix plane can be moved in different positions, and the propeller spins. This would look awesome in a pilot's den, on a shelf or a mantel.

In his latest Global Strategy Report, Albert Edwards at Societe Generale discusses "earnings season" which he calls "cheating season".
We have always found that swings in analyst earnings expectations mirror the economic cycle quite well, but because of the weekly frequency, swings in analyst earnings optimism often act as a timely leading indicator for the economic cycle. If that is still the case, the recent data for the US should be worrying. Despite the soothing Q3 headline earnings reports as US companies 'game' the system, all is not well once you look into the 'MUC' (Manipulated Underperforms Conservative).
Remember the so-called Fed model? We were told that the extraordinarily high PEs were justified by low bond yields. The key plank of the Ice Age theory was that this positive correlation would break down and that equities would de-rate in absolute and relative terms compared to government bonds thereby inverting the close positive correlation between bond and equity yields.
What this also means is that in an Ice Age world, the equity cycle will more closely correlate with economic and profits cycles. Most correlation analysis finds virtually no post-war relationship between economic growth and the stock market.
But, this does not hold true during the Ice Age. Indeed, we knew from Japan that the equity market would start to track the economic and earnings cycle closely.
In the Ice Age, equity investors need to pay close attention to economic and earnings cycles and not be comforted by lower bond yields. If that is the case equity investors should be getting nervous NOW as earnings optimism starts to fall away sharply.
Earnings Upgrades vs. Downgrades as Percentage of Changes
We have long believed that the US reporting season should in fact be called the US cheating season as companies game the market to ramp earnings down ahead of company announcements only to beat analysts estimates by 1¢ on the day!
Apparently companies believe the feel-good news headlines of a earnings beat will offset the negative impact of downward guidance ahead of the report. In fact the evidence suggests otherwise: my colleague Andrew Lapthorne has shown that those companies that engage in earnings manipulation underperform those that do not. He developed a very useful MUC Score, Manipulated Underperforms Conservative.
(An update of the MUC is being delayed while Andrew works on an update of a more comprehensive earnings quality score, formally called the cheating, or C-score. Developed by my former colleague James Montier, Andrew changed the name as companies got mighty shirty when they appeared on this list!)
I rely on Andrew for this timely weekly data which he highlights every Monday in the Global Equity Market Arithmetic….

Too many topics!
First things first, though. The lovely Elaine felt my social anxiety pain the other day and offered to send me her extra yarn ball winder! Can you believe it? She's single-handedly saving me from having a panic attack in the yarn store next time. Like she said, I can be all "Ball my yarn? No thank you, I have a winder at home." How sweet is that?
She says it's in the mail and you'd better believe I'm going to have lots of yarn ball pictures posted here that day. I'm going to wind everything into balls!
And, in related news, apparently yarn stores are scary for lots of people. Who knew? Also, it appears that lots of people actually have a reason to be scared because they got yelled at or snubbed when they went inside to look around. What the heck yarn store employees? Shame on you!
It was also interesting to find out that many of my online crafting friends also suffer from social anxiety. I'm shocked because a lot of my real life acquaintances are fairly outgoing and love attention…I never seem to meet introverts. I suppose that only makes sense since most people suffering from social anxiety are either not at these gatherings or are sitting in some corner far away from my corner and we never meet.
While I don't wish social anxiety on anyone, I'm happy to know that people in this online crafting world understand me and that I understand them. It makes it easier to stop second-guessing myself so I can just interact with people. People who understand why I might be awkward and weird at times. People who don't need me to explain my freak-outs.
Anyway, this will hopefully be my last non-picture update for a while. Tomorrow I'm going to post about my favorite artist (who is, coincidentally, my brother) and show you all the awesome things he makes. Later in the week I'll post about my studio and vintage sheets and my ripple blanket and everything wonderful! Stay tuned!

stuff made from human hair! woman, am i curious to see that!ReplyDelete
i hear you, with the social anxiety. being alone is just so relaxed, and people are often not. one of my sweetheart's favorite quotes is: "hell is other people", some famous writer said. a. e. poe? i don't know.
i didn't even know that there are yarn winders. i could have figured, but i also CAN DO THAT MySELF, courtesy of mom, use your knees if Dad isn't there to hold the yarn. no one ever asked me to ball the yarn for me! i look forward to seeing your yarn balls ;)
i'm reading your back entries here, and oh, what a pretty living room! holy canole. i can barely believe that the before/after is the same room. you're themistress of interior decorating. anyone challenge me on that?
Why does yarn need to be wound? I'm so so new to knitting, and the stuff I've always bought has been in a nice little ball that unravels easily. Do you need to rewind that stuff? Kind of a dumb question, sorry.ReplyDelete
And man, social anxiety. I totally have it, although it's gotten much better in the last few years. Most of the time, I feel really awkward, like Mary Katherine Gallagher, and want to stick my fingers in my armpits. But nothing like the panic attacks I used to get before I got help for depression.
Thanks Christine! I can usually only manage to have one room clean at a time. :)ReplyDelete
Allison...the yarn I bought comes in a skein like this:
And it has to be wound or it'll get all tangled. That's what I get for buying fancy yarn! I'm so new to fancy things!
Human hair? Like the Victorians did - mourning pins & the like?ReplyDelete
Having a ball winder is knitterly street cred. (Somehow, I don't think crocheters care about that sort of thing.) I have a nostepinne, but usually end up winding my yarn around my fingers ...
Some yarn store employees are cold and mean! Perhaps they have social anxiety, too? But how anyone can be mean around yarn is beyond *me*. If I were having a bad day I could just rub my face on the fuzzy skeins and feel better (and be fired probably).
Yeah, I don't get it...I'd never be in a bad mood if I worked at a yarn or fabric store. Maybe they just want to keep all the yarn to themselves and it makes them crabby when people come in to buy it all up? That's my only theory so far.ReplyDelete
Yes! They probably treat it as their personal stash and don't appreciate it disappearing:-)Just don't understand! Maybe they have yarn anxiety:-)ReplyDelete

What can you do to prevent heart disease and strokes?
The most important action you can take, to avoid all of the complications associated with diabetes, is to keep your blood glucose under control. You should monitor your glucose levels multiple times daily and log them so you can track trends.
Diabetes is a balancing act. Factors such as physical activity, diet, stress levels and medications can all impact your glucose levels. If you are having problems maintaining good glucose levels, keeping track of this information can provide you and your medical team with clues to modify your treatment and get better control.
You should also have an A1c test 3 – 4 times yearly. This simple blood test reports your average blood glucose levels for the previous 2 – 3 months. The target for people with diabetes is below 7. Non-diabetics have A1c levels between 4.0 and 6.0.
Even if you are at high risk for heart disease and stroke, you can still help keep your heart and blood vessels healthy.
Maintaining target levels for blood pressure and cholesterol are important to decrease your chances for having a stroke. Equally important are attention to diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors such as being overweight and smoking.

Ace reporter John Cotton is a fly on the wall, seeing all, hearing all, and keeping out of sight. But the game changes when he finds his best friend's corpse sprawled on the marble floor of the central rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. Suddenly Cotton knows too much about a scandal centered around a senatorial candidate, a million-dollar scam, and a murder. And he hears the pursuing footsteps of powerful people who have something to hide... and a willingness to kill to keep their secrets hidden.

"Boring to the Max"
A total re-write
A lot more excitement, suspense, a lot less filler.
Chosen a different book.
Total disappointment.
Hate I wasted my money on this one. Can't believe this crap get published.
"Another exciting Hillerman book!"
Hillerman did write other novels then just the Leaphorn and Chee series. It was exciting as expected. The technology was dated i.e. No cellphones and printed newspapers but still makes for a great read/listen!
"Intriguing and well read."
Hillerman was a master at building suspense without resorting to the current common practice of using unnecessary graphic detail. This story deals with political intrigue, mysterious accidents, misappropriation of funds, and shadowy figures seeking to silence reporter John Cotton. Erik Bergman's excellent reading keeps the listener engaged in every scene. Very enjoyable!
"Well written in a me before cell phones"
Well written. What a different world today. Younger readers won't even know of the UPI AP competition, a time before cell phones, and when cities had two (or more) daily newspapers, and a morning paper and an evening paper (like the Philadelphia Daily Inquirer in the morning, and the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin in the afternoon.
A suspenseful political mystery thriller well written by Tony Hillerman.
"Poorly plotted"
Poorly plotted, even accounting for it being written in 1970. Too many missed arguments and opportunities. Too many not believable actions.
"Great Mystery"
Lots of twists and mystery. Super "who dun it". Definitely did not figure it out.

Last November, I was checked into a Cambridge ER after a suicide attempt. I sat in a hospital gown in an observation room and considered dreams that might be crushed by this interference with my schoolwork. The midterms I had bombed immediately after a friend's suicide attempt earlier that term would be nothing compared to the risks of not completing the semester. Fragile though I was, I could not imagine a life without a career in medicine. Before I left the emergency room for an inpatient psychiatric facility, I told the nurses and doctors they had inspired me to continue my studies to become a doctor to help people in situations like mine. Their patience with my hysteria amid countless other even graver cases moved me to tears.
The IV sitting in the crook of my arm was nothing new to me. As a child, I went to the hospital for diseases ranging from pneumonia to anemia to anorexia. Many times, doctors had snapped at me when I couldn't remember my medical history or when my veins yielded too little blood. These doctors were the ones who made me fear ever returning to the hospital, not because hospital visits indicated once again failing health, but because their dismissiveness made me feel unworthy of the care they would give me.
This phenomenon is not limited to doctors. I see this attitude growing, even encouraged, within much of the pre-med community at Harvard. The ER requires that doctors and nurses work together, yet every semester I see the same pattern: At the beginning of the term, students in large classes like Life Sciences 1a and Chemistry 17 form groups, all intent on helping each other study and check problem sets. But then, after the first exam, when grades are returned, the mutual support dwindles. Students get busier, they work harder, they shut themselves off. Those who excel stop helping those who fall behind. Office hours become packed. Nobody wants to fall victim to the curve, so struggling students fall farther and farther behind.
I watch so many of my friends celebrate birthdays and give gifts to friends, and then ignore those same friends the moment they struggle academically. When friends ask for help in a "weeder" class, they become a mere distraction, a stumbling block to be avoided on the search for a 4.0. The only person to even ask me about my prolonged absence was a peer study leader whose office hours I attended religiously, and whose help and emotional support I am forever grateful for. During my hospitalization, only a handful of friends noticed I was gone. None were pre-meds.
Then another friend of mine was rushed to the emergency room. I had finals coming up and told her that she would have to wait until my exams were over. I told myself something stupid about doing more good down the road as a doctor if I ignored her. Someday, 10 or 15 years in the future, I would stitch up the slashed wrists and give drugs to combat the overdose. Someday I would be able to comfort my friend after she collapsed under the pressure. But if being pre-med taught me anything, it was the limits of compassion. Every spare kindness is a risk, and while studying for Chemistry 17, I left my friend in the hospital alone. This is something I can never forgive myself for.
Harvard pre-med classes don't pretend to be easy. You'll skip parties, you'll tell your friend you can't catch up with him tonight even though he's been begging you. They never tell you that you'll have to ignore your friends as they spiral lower and lower. You have to stop bringing your sick friend the lecture handouts, because if they were taking the course seriously, they'd push themselves to go to class, right? And you'll tell yourself that this is because you want a career that helps people. There are some who can power through, who will help their friends even when it takes time away from their own studies.
But this does not apply as widely as professors would hope. Much of this problem is worsened by the silence surrounding it. All the stress of making the curve applies to mental health as well as test scores. Nobody wants to admit they failed, and everyone acts exhausted but happy, because if you really cared about getting into med school you wouldn't have breakdowns, you would have studied better, and if you show any weakness, being pre-med probably isn't for you. And so I spent two weeks in a psychiatric hospital and told no one.
If you finally break down after trying so hard like I did, it feels like failure. Anything that deviates from the "traditional" pre-med track is a failure. If you take physics through a different university, if you take organic chemistry after graduating, if the pressure of pre-med is too much and you stop that track, or if, God forbid, you leave the STEM field altogether, pre-meds look down on you. I looked down on myself when I realized I might not have the emotional strength to stay on the pre-med track, at least at this university.
So of course I didn't tell any of my pre-med friends about my suicide attempt. Future doctors don't do that.

This weekend I got to help out at the Gluten Free For Life Expo in St. Petersburg, Florida. I've never really attended any expo before let alone a gluten-free one, so I honestly didn't know what to expect. There were so many things I looked forward to and so many products and booths I got to see. Even though there are many things from the expo itself I got to experience, the one thing I enjoyed the most was meeting all the people and being able to connect with others in a way I haven't been able to before.
1st Gluten-free Expo:
For my first gluten-free expo I got to spend time helping out at a gluten-free teens table. Even though this was my first expo I've ever gone too, I really thought I would enjoy helping out with the expo instead of just attending I had a great time being able to meet tons of new people and share experiences that I have never really shared before. I really enjoyed being able to just be apart of it and be able to help out any way I could. I also finally got to meet Chrissy after a long time of just connecting through twitter which was awesome and something I'd been looking forward to for a while. There's so much I learned and gained from this one experience that will definitely help me out as I continue to go to more expos in the future.
Events and Plans for the future:
What I want to do very soon is start traveling to gluten-free expos all around the U.S. to get involved with public speaking. I really want to be able to meet tons of extraordinary people and share my story to just help and inspire others on a gluten-free diet. I have so much I could share and think with my age and my story I could really give a positive outlook for those living gluten-free and be a role model for teens all around the U.S. Gluten-free Expos in California is what I hope to target most but I will keep you all updated if I do so. Even having something as simple as a booth at these bigger expos for my blog is something I really hope to do this year. I hopefully plan to start going to more expos by this Summer and Fall, not just as an attendee but someone to contribute to each event in some way. There are so many things I'm hoping and planning to do this year, but all I can look to now is use this Expo as a great first experience to learn from. Hope to be meet some of you in the future!

The good news for the rest of the Garden State is that the likes of Michael Gilchrist, Myles Mack Derrick Gordon and other stars from the St. Anthony and St. Patrick powerhouses aren't around to dominate the state and national scene anymore.
The bad news is that coach Bob Hurley and Kyle Anderson are back with plenty of help to defend St. Anthony's crown. Anderson, a UCLA commit who has lost just once in his prep career, headlines a Friars team filled with tough players like Jerome Frink and Jimmy Hall. This nucleus placed the Friars at No. 9 in the POWERADE FAB 50 preseason rankings.
With a new coach and standout underclassmen Dakari Johnson and Austin Colbert transferred, it could be a relatively off year for St. Patrick, leaving upstarts like St. Benedict's Prep and Gill St. Bernard to push ahead as a result.
Here are how the preseason state rankings shake out:
1. St. Anthony (Jersey City)
2. Gill St. Bernard (Gladstone)
3. St. Benedict's Prep (Jersey City)

HypnoBirth | Returning Childbirth to Its Spiritual Roots/
RedTracker| Former Beverly Hills 90210 Tiffani Thiessen is planning a HypnoBirth, using the Monogan method. When even iVillage is reporting on HypnoBirthing', it's a trend.
Simply stated, HypnoBirth is a method of natural childbirth that uses self-hypnosis to deal with the pain of childbirth. Frequently, the birth occurs at home, in the company of a midwife and family members.
Gisele Bundchen just gave birth to her baby at home; Demi Moore has delivered three children out of the hospital delivery room. Former talk-show host Ricki Lake produced a documentary about home vs hospital births.
As you might imagine, the medical establishment is crying foul, and we're not clear about any national or state legislation requiring women to have their kids in hospitals. Presumably Republicans would have a big problem with such a law, and with health insurance companies previously making pregnancy a pre-existing condition, business has delivered mixed results helping women deliver babies.
The movement around HypnoBirth isn't about saving money but rather creating a more Zen experience for expectant families.
We recently watched a PBS Newshour presentation on maternal health for women in Peru. The challenges in rural health care are to get women away from home deliveries — with no access to the hospital if something goes wrong — to birthing hospitals.
We connect the birthing dots here, because at Peru's birthing centers, the family is in attendance, the mother stands — often held by her husband — and smells herbs that relax here. Although more advanced medical care is available, the traditional method is preferred.
Women must determine what method of childbirth is best for them. Not every woman can handle HypnoBirthing, because not everyone can reach a Zen state and condition of self-hypnosis. The interest in HypnoBirthing can't become another competition to be the 'perfect mommy', making women feel guilty for wanting an epidural in a hospital maternity ward.
Concerned moms have enough challenges around the breast-feeding debate, without adding home-birthing to their to do list. At the same time, we honor the earth goddess in every woman and support this growing interest in at self-hypnotic, home births.
Presumably, we'll have birthing centers soon. Here's another article about HypnoBirthing from Discovery Health.

YouTube Increases Length of User Made Videos to 15 Minutes
In a recent development, the users can now post videos for the duration of 15 minutes on YouTube. The earlier limit on the site was 10 minutes.
The upload limit was introduced by the site in the wake of warding off the pirated movies and TV shows.
The move has been possible due to the Content ID system. This is a YouTube technology, which major movie studios, music labels and 1,000 other content owners use to manage their videos and block unauthorized versions.
A YouTube Product Manager, Joshua Siegel, revealed on the Company's blog that they have increased the duration , as increasing number of customers were demanding it.
The decision would prove to be beneficial for home made comedies and videogame walkthroughs.
On being asked why the limit has not been increased to 20 minutes, Mr. Siegel said that such changes could be expected in future.
But, the increase may not take place because the content associates of YouTube would not want the homemade videos to be of the same length as the commercial television shows, which are also available free of cost.
However, some people feel that the move would result in loss of editorial discipline among the users.

So, do you collect something strange? Have a weird phobia or passion? Tell us something about yourself unexpected!
Well...for me I have to confess to a secret love! Yep, thats right! But he's only a fictional character! haha.
I have loved this character called Gambit (aka Remy LeBeau) from cartoon and comics since I was 15. I stopped collecting the comics when I was 20 - mainly cos of being with my hubby, but restarted 5 yrs later. I have a best BEST friend whom I met cos of our love of Gambit (and then later by us both having kids).
My daughter now also loves Gambit! lol, although I swear I didn't influence her aside from her seeing his pics on my desktop.
But most exciting is that Gambit has now 'come to life' on the BIG SCREEN in the Wolverine Origins movie so I feel at last other people might see what all my fuss has been about!

See how yummy he is!
Ok, so you all prob think I'm mad now like my hubby?

100 Babies
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
That was fucking great!
Really good man! Nice idea to use random internet google people to do everything. I'll have to "complain" about the recording quality. When the flash starts you're using a higher quality mic and then for no apparent reason when the guy who fucked his sister shows up, the quality totally fucks up, from there on to the rest of the flash. No biggie, but still.. as English isn't my 1st language and you don't have subtitles take into account that high quality sound makes a big difference for me.
Anyways, laughed my ass off hard. GJ you MFer!!! =D
haha, its because i was recording with a professional microphone for the first part and then something fucked up and it stopped recording so i switched to my crappy mic:P but now it works again so next flash will be solid sound! im glad u enjoyed it

Glad to see you're back!
All these 3 parts are a sample of why you're such a great scripter!!! The animation may not be top notch, and you lack background music... but man! This is the reason why I started watching all your flashes. Rude and disturbing jokes. You're one of the greatest at what you do, and I'm glad you made this one, because it's fucking great!
wicked thanks a lot bro.. and ya i DO NOT want to be an animator/sound guy in the future, im working at becoming a comedy writer so i post cartoons to show what im capable of, im soooo glad that so many people enjoyed this full length episode.. think i should pitch it to t.v?

Flood Fill
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Amazing =)
One of the best puzzle games I've played in a while. Creative, simple and addictive. You could add a "clear" button so we don't have to go back and forth to clear all the paint. I hope you guys do a 2nd one!!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Quite addicting. The upgrade system is very well designed, the graphics are good, the level design is good, the music is fine, and the buyable stuff is good too. What it needs is a quality switch, as with all that enemy / bullet / coin rain going on you get a slight lag which makes it impossible to dodge your way through the bullets :(
Other than that, pretty solid game ^^
Please! Add that quality button later!
Polygonal Fury
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great game dude!
Addicting as drugs (I'd suppose). Nice concept and great execution. Graphics aren't 10/10 but this game idea doesn't need much in that department. The inclusion of upgrades and specially the ability to reset your points was a GREAT addition IMO: it gave it much more depth than just clicking and waiting for things to explode.
One thing I'd like to point out is that many times it was difficult to see what LVL the shapes were. Many times I clicked on a shape I though I could break with one click, but it was a higher level. You could have given them different colors for each lvl, not just shades of the same color.
Overall great game. Addictive and fun!
Congrats on your 1st game, and getting front page!! ^^

I like it. Simple and catchy. I'm not much into trance.. I'd say it "lacks a little variety"? It can become a little repetitive.. but I like how you made those pauses, taking out the drum beat at some points.
When the piano came in I thought it'd change the rythm, but well.. I guess that didn't happen =/
Anyways, I think it's very nice, specially for a 1st try. Keep on trying, it may take some time getting used to it. Good job overall :)
Thank you very much^^ Good you liked this song :D

On this second visit, the show would be me and the Barbadian singer/songwriter The Mighty Gabby. Gabby and I have known each other for years, admired each other's work, and, more importantly, we've always liked each other as people – not always the case among performers in the ego-driven entertainment world. So as I talked with Rotary about planning the show, the thought came to me that Gabby and I had played on stages at separate times, but we had never performed together, so I phoned him and suggested we do some music together.
The result was that at the Barbados concert, held under floodlit trees in the open air at Holder's House, between Gabby's performance and mine, the two of us came together, just acoustic guitars, no band, not even a drummer, and did a sweet 15 minutes, fooling with some of the songs, ribbing each other about how we looked and moved on stage, and generally having a good time – two country boys from the Caribbean living and loving our culture.
I teased Gabby that in his song "Government Boots", if he had sung about tennis shoes instead of boots he wouldn't have gotten into so much hot water with the establishment. He teased me about one of my songs in a way that I can't repeat in a family newspaper, but call me up and I'll tell you about it. I joked with him about his dreadlocks, and he was onto me about my Guyanese roots. The audience ate it up, and, frankly, so did we. There is a mutual admiration between Gabby and me, and it showed.
In the two days before the show we also appeared together on several radio and TV programmes talking in detail about the songwriting process and how our view of life affects us as writers, and about culture in the region, and generally about who we are as people. It was a warm, loving exchange, and in the middle of it we would just look at each other and laugh. Some of the most famous names in Caribbean music can be pretty unsavoury characters – not people you want to spend a lot of time with. Gabby is not one of them – he's good company any time.
I'm relating this here to make the wider point that we don't do these kinds of inter-cultural things in the Caribbean, and it's a pity because the synergy that comes from it is usually the best kind – it's spontaneous, and combinations emerge that otherwise wouldn't. On stage, Gabby's guitar style, for example, different from mine, causing me to play a song I've played for years ("You Can't Get") in a way I've never played it before. We came at it in a new way, unrehearsed, right there on the stage and it worked.
Gabby, by the way, remains the boss in Barbados, as far I'm concerned. If you're looking for the Bajan essence, the songs he has written, many full of social commentary, come straight out of that country; they are striking slices of Barbados. One of his songs, "Emerton", recently voted the "Best Song" in Barbados over the past 50 years, is songwriting at its best – simple, powerful and emotional. If you hear Gabby sing it and you're not moved, you have water in your veins instead of blood.
But I digress. The point of this piece is that that kind of performer-to-performer exchange is something that should be happening more in the region. North American artistes are constantly doing these kinds of combination performances, where accomplished people, strong in their own right, come together and create a one-of-a-kind moment. In the Caribbean, perhaps bedevilled by our insecurity feelings, we shy away from such meetings. Wouldn't it have been magical, for instance, to see Kitchener and Sparrow perform one of each other's songs in a casual unrehearsed way on the same stage at the same time? Or for Marley to sing with Toots? Or for Gabby to sing David Rudder's "Haiti" and for David to sing Gabby's "Emerton" ?
Admittedly, the logistics of these things, particularly with big name performers, can become hairy to deal with, and then there can be personality clashes involved, but it's something that can happen with a little effort, particularly in shows these days in the region and outside. In every one of those settings, the performers come on, pass each other like an exam, as they say in Trinidad, go up and perform, and pass again on the way out.
It will take some thought for the combinations to work, but with a little effort it can be done and audiences love these combinations because they are rare and also because the circumstances usually make for some hilarious or touching interplay between the performers. We copy so much stuff from the Americans, we should copy their fondness for this kind of interplay between established talents.
In a time when we seem to be having more than a bit of difficulty in achieving congress among Caribbean nations, perhaps the place to start might be that cross-fertilisation among our artistes, away from the political and economic barriers.

Empress Of the solo project of Los Angeles based producer, songwriter and singer Lorely Rodriquez shares a brand new unreleased track entitled "Woman Is A Word." The powerful new song is yet another deeply personal and political track from the bright and talented artist.
Rodriguez shares: "Sometimes as a songwriter and a human, I feel very restricted by words. One word can have so much social implication, standard, limitation, qualification that it doesn't give a person they're own opportunity to really choose their identity. I wrote "Woman Is A Word" at a time when I felt like the word 'woman' put me in a box of things I was capable to do, things that defined me that didn't necessarily define me."
The song is said to be from her recording sessions for her critically acclaimed debut album Me (out now) which we picked as one of our favorite albums of 2015.
Currently Empress Of is on her own headlining tour, which will see her play NYC on March 25 and summer festivals including NRML, Pitchfork, FORM: Arcosanti and Moogfest. Additionally, she's featured on a track with Darkstar called "Reformer" (below) that was released last week.
