One Dozen Giant Robot & Monster Games That You Should Be Playing

Posted by Rob Rich on July 24th, 2013

Pretty much everyone has been buzzing about "Pacific Rim" this month. The movie has been doing quite well from what I understand (plus it's freaking awesome), but like most summer blockbusters that popularity also equates to some tie-in games across multiple platforms. While I found the Xbox Live Arcade game to be pretty enjoyable, the iOS iterations - yes, there's more than the one - were both extremely disappointing. However all hope is not lost. While the Pacific Rim iOS title may have been a colossal (*rimshot*) letdown, there are still a fair number of great games on the platform featuring giant robots and giant monsters that can be quite a bit of fun.

Rock'n and Sock'n with GiganderX
GiganderX (Prodigy Co. Ltd, $0.99)
I've sampled a fair number of "giant robot" games across multiple platforms but none have managed to capture the oversized and plodding nature of these massive engines of destruction quite like Robot Alchemic Drive or Remote Control Dandy. And no other iOS games have managed to capture a similar feel of either title better than GiganderX. It's fairly simplistic - there's an extremely basic combo system, one special attack, and only a handful of levels - but it does an admirable job of making you feel like you're piloting a slow, lumbering, oversized toy as it combats other slow, lumbering, oversized toys.

Giant Metal Robot (Poppy, $0.99)
Giant Metal Robot is a bit unorthodox, but that's a big part of why I like it. You have to tilt your device to steer the young girl (and later her dog, too) along a rooftop, while swiping down to make the robot smash its fists. Flatten the little girl or her companion and it counts as a loss. Fail to smash all the skeletons that are chasing them around before time runs out and it's a loss. Accidentally launch the little girl off the roof after smashing something and you lose. It's deceptively tough, and yet it's easy enough to play that it should keep you entertained for a while.

The signs are everywhere (and bloodthirsty) in My Little Monster
My Little Monster (Group Sound, $0.99)
As a long time fan of giant monster movies, I can't not find the idea of raising and training my own to be both awesome and oddly charming. And that's before taking the adorable and weird characters, goofy skills, and ridiculous hats into consideration. It's an odd hybrid of virtual pet and simple action game, but it's also a neat distraction for any kaiju fan.

RoboCat Rampage (Luke Turvey, $1.99)
Some robots are more interested in preserving nature than in protecting humanity; and that's exactly what RoboCat Rampage is about. You move the enormous mechanized feline around each stage attempting to squish anything that looks industrial while also trying to avoid stepping on anything green (i.e. trees, etc). The more smoke-belching factories and vehicles you smash before reaching the end of the level, the higher your score and the happier the little woodland creatures will be.

Fortunately The War for Eustrath is easier to enjoy than it is to pronounce
The War of Eustrath (iQuibi Inc, $2.99)
Giant robots aren't a genre; they're a subject. So while The War for Eustrath may not seem quite as "typical" as the other games on this list, but it's definitely relevant and possibly one of the best. The characters are quirky in an eye-rolling kind of way, but it's a very competent strategy game. One that features some pretty cool-looking mechs. Cool-looking mechs that fight each other. It's like Xenogears crossed with Fire Emblem, and I can't think of a single thing about that description that isn't awesome.

OFFWORLD (6waves Lolapps, FREE)
I wasn't expecting to enjoy OFFWORLD's Rock-Paper-Scissors style combat as much as I did, honestly. But enjoy it I did, and I think it adds a fair bit of strategy to what could have otherwise been a very basic game. Not only is there plenty of mental back-and-forth as you try to predict your opponent's next move, there are also lots of customization options for various weapons and attachments. Plus it looks and animates gorgeously.

Don't underestimate Monster Jam Jam's giant radioactive poultry
Monster Jam Jam (Behold Studios Jogos Electronicos LTDA ME, FREE)
I happened upon Monster Jam Jam accidentally, but I have to admit I was rather impressed by its no-frills simplicity. Each match is random, and the only difference between monsters is their appearance, so all you have to worry about is out-thinking your opponent (AI or otherwise). It uses a fairly simple combat system wherein each combatant picks an action (attack, power up, heal, defend) and attempts to guess what the other side is planning. No scores, no leaderboards, no upgrades or unlockables; just a bunch of quick pick-up-and-play kaiju action.

Roar Rampage (FDG Entertainment, $0.99)
What is it most people think of when they think about giant monsters? Property damage. And property damage is you'll get when you start playing Roar Rampage. The giant boxing glove-toting lizard moves along automatically, so all you have to worry about is flinging his fist all over the place in order to bust through buildings and knock helicopters out of the air. It's simple, destructive fun.

Destroy Gunners ZZ is a blast despite the distinct lack of giant beards
Destroy Gunners ZZ (SHADE Inc, FREE)
Destroy Gunners ZZ is a freemium/social sequel of sorts to the original Destroy Gunners; the latter of which has been one of my most preferred mech combat games to date. I decided to list the sequel over the original simply because it looks a little better, has a little more variety, and has had a few control refinements but the first game is also totally worth a look. Especially for any early series Armored Core fans hoping to find a comparable experience on iOS.

Robot Rampage (Origin8, FREE)
Just like people, not all robots are friendly. In fact, the robot headlining Robot Rampage is a total jerk. All it does is stomp around smashing everything in sight, while occasionally blasting stuff with lasers. Of course when you get to control the giant robo-jerk as it smashes up buildings and fries all military resistance with heat beams it's actually pretty cool.

Death Worm ain't afraid o' no early birds
Death Worm (PlayCreek, $1.99)
Not all vicious giant monsters walk around on two legs. In fact, some of them don't have any legs at all! And while watching a giant radioactive shellfish level a city can be pretty intimidating it can be just as bad when dealing with a subterranean horror you'll never see coming. Being said subterranean horror, rather than running from it for dear life, is a lot cooler. Especially when you can evolve new traits between levels.

Super Monsters Ate My Condo! ([adult swim], FREE)
Super Monsters Ate My Condo! is admittedly a bit of a stretch, but it features plenty of giant monsters so I figure it has a place on the list. Plus it's a lot of fun. The odd physics-based match-3 puzzles coupled with the quirky kaiju waiting to gobble up each high rise floor are a great match. It's the kind of game that could very easily make an hour disappear if you give it half the chance.

Cordy Review

App Reviewed on: iPhone 3GS

Graphics / Sound Rating: starstarstarstarstar
Gameplay Rating: starstarstarstarstar
Playtime Rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar
Replay Value Rating: starstarstarstarhalfstar

Platformers seem to be in short supply on the iOS platform. I don't mean "runners" or "puzzle-platformers," I'm talking about full-fledged platforming games. Mascots, collectibles, bosses - the whole shebang. I believe the reason there aren't all that many is because it can be very tough to create functional, responsive controls for a game like that without the use of physical buttons. Yeah, Cordy totally does all that.

A tiny electronic planetoid in the vicinity of Earth has gone dark, and it's up to the titular little robot to bring light back to his home. If the first few levels that are available (with more unlocked via in-app purchase) are any indication, Cordy is in for one heck of a ride. This game packs a bevy of features made popular by some big-name titles, but it does so with a style and technique all its own. The little 'bot can use inertia and speed to break through some walls and floors, time jumps while going up hills for maximum height, use his power chord to swing from anchor points and more. Of course, thanks to that pay wall there are 42 levels that can't be accessed without plunking down some cash.

Cordy's abilities are largely context-based, so UI clutter is kept to a minimum: Left, Right, Jump and Action. Even better, the buttons can be switched to an invisible mode in the options so that absolutely nothing disrupts the visuals. And oh boy, those visuals. The world is whimsical and vibrant, with bright colors all over the place and stage elements that often intertwine with the player's path, making what could have been merely a good game feel like one people show their friends when they want to prove that their iPhone/iPad/iPod is a viable gaming platform. Plus, players can spend some additional coinage to personalize their Cordy with different colors and hats (*squeeee!*)

The only thing that mars the experience is all the the cost of all this stuff. In all honesty I have no problem with the $2 price tag because from what I've seen this game is well worth it. However the price of Cordy's various outfits border on ludicrous. Seriously, a few of the pieces (pieces) cost more than the actual game. I mean, wow.

I'll say it again: Cordy is a fantastic platformer and a stellar iOS game. The controls are fluid, the visuals are wonderful and the levels all beg to be played over-and-over again in order to nab a full trio of stars (one each for completion, speed and gear collecting). The rather ludicrous prices for hats and such are a bit of a buzz-kill, but absolutely none of that stuff is required to enjoy this game. Try it for free, then love it and buy it.

Toca Robot Lab GiggleApps Review

Posted by Chris Kirby on July 29th, 2011
+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Toca Boca Robot Lab is the new and original universal app and “digital toy” that kids of all ages as well as parents will enjoy.

This new Toca Boca app allows players to create their own robot from a series of creative and interesting scrap pieces or metal and other industrial materials. Although many pieces are ultimately available to choose from, kids will have a choice of three head, body, and leg selections each session, as well as left and right arms, mixing or matching, or however the player chooses.

I really enjoy that the robot lab building area takes place in a corrugated box, and that the robot pieces to choose from are recycled bits from other machines that adults will be familiar with, such as old radios, coffee machines, sinks, the electronic eye from a surveillance camera or incandescent bulb, giving the players a way of viewing these bits of scrap in a new way, transforming them into pieces of a new robot.

Amanita Design Bringing Machinarium to the iPad Soon

Posted by Rob Rich on July 28th, 2011

Perhaps best known for their quirky flash game Samorost, Amanita Design has since gone on to make a real name for themselves with their first full-length title, Machinarium. The minimalist adventure of an adorable little robot created somewhat of a stir on the Mac and PC, and now it's ready to make another group of unaware consumers into rabid fans. I am, of course, referring to iPad owners.

In a statement issued to Pocket Gamer, the developer's founder Jakub Dvorský mentioned that the iPad version has not only been in the works, but that it's also nearing completion: "It's almost finished, but we still need to fix a lot of small bugs and test it properly. It should be ready during the next month...hopefully."

We can't do much but speculate on how the Flash title will handle the port, but I think it'll do just fine. The PC controls are as simple as it gets, with single left mouse clicks as the only required interface. The inventory is almost never larger than a handful of items and it's in an unobtrusive drop-down menu. There aren't even other action icons to select (as is usually the custom in other adventure games); instead the game uses context sensitive icons that change depending on what the cursor is hovering over. Controls like that should translate to a touch screen quite easily, I would think.

This is a rather big deal for adventure game fans, even if they've never played the PC version (pictured). Machinarium is one of the most beautiful, stylish and clever games of its kind. From the amazing artwork to the incredible soundtrack, not to mention the clever puzzle design, it's a downright treat to play. Between this version and Machinarium's impending release on the PlayStation 3, I think it's safe to say that the folks at Amanita Design are doing quite well.

iPad users, keep an eye out for this one. I promise it'll be worth it.

Out Of Time: Peeling Back The Layers On Corison The Wine, And Corison The Matriarch

Vinted on March 22, 2012 binned in elegant wines, on the road, wine review

The best way to introduce you to Cathy Corison, I think, is by telling you what happened when I said goodbye to her.

I was making my way out of her Route 29 winery building in St. Helena, having just wrapped up a short bit of video for Wines.com with the diminutive (even by my modest vertical viewpoint), soft-spoken, but not-to-be-trifled with winemaker (example: during a retrospective tasting over lunch, one of the things she told me was “the word ‘No’ is, in fact, a complete sentence”). We seemed to be waiting for the least-awkward moment, an opening for my exit (if that makes sense), when Cathy began… gardening.

She semi-nervously began picking out dead plants from a colorful bunch of small flowers planted atop barrels in the entranceway to the winery. I am familiar with this sort of habitual behavior, tidying up, constantly feeling as though you have to do something; she didn’t know it but I silently bonded with a small part of her psyche at that moment. Since I can’t stand even nanoseconds of silence, I stoked up a lead-in to a goodbye conversation.

“See you tomorrow at Premiere?” I asked.

“No, I won’t be pouring,” she answered, then stopped tending the flowers and looked up at me, squinting in the sun through her schoolmarm glasses. “Galloni is coming to taste tomorrow.”

That’s Antonio Galloni, who has taken over the CA wine reviewing beat from Robert Parker at The Wine Advocate. To briefly summarize why that might have gotten Cathy into flower-weeding mode, I’ll refer you to this statement from NYC’s California Wine Merchants: “Robert Parker has not published ratings on [Corison’s] wines since 1995, and really never awarded them with scores above the low 90s anyway.”

“Oh,” I said. “Does that make you nervous?”

“Do you know my history with Robert Parker scores?” she countered.

“Cathy… I don’t really know anybody’s history with anyone’s scores” I replied.

“Well, bless you for that!”

And so it goes with Corison, both a matriarch and a wine that, when you start peeling back some of the layers, reveal a series of contrasts: a winemaker not courting high scores but hosting critics and garnering a boatload of acclaim; an anachronistic woman making anachronistic wine, one that is produced in modern ways but with nods to the ancient past (the artistic busted-pottery artwork adorning the labels wasn’t put there without some forethought, I gathered); and someone who came into winemaking “old school” but now is totally killing it with her customers on twitter (more of that coming up soon on the Wines.com blog) and recently hired wine media maven Hardy Wallace

Cathy wasn’t always quite so… iconoclastic, at least as far as wine is concerned. She has made what we’d consider more traditional Napa wine for other producers. But even after a quarter of a century into doing her own thing you can tell when you talk to Cathy Corison that she’s as determined and focused as ever on doing her own thing.

I always wanted to make world class wine. I didn’t even know what that meant. This was in 1975,” she told me when we tasted through the 2000-2006 vintages of her Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Before starting her own winery, during her stint at Chappellet, “there was a wine inside of me that wanted to come out. It was later that I learned that wine was a Rutherford Bench wine.”

Since then, Cathy has pretty much played only her own hand in the wine biz, no matter what cards were dealt (good press, bad scores, etc.). “The 2003 Long Meadow Ranch was the last time I made wine for somebody else.” As one of her employees told me (with a smile and a wink) when I greeted her at the door, apologizing to her that I didn’t recall her name: “that’s ok – the only one you really need to make sure you know is Cathy!” Matriarch, indeed.

The wines… well, they’re as similarly divorced from chasing any trendiness as their maker is. They are thoroughly Napa in power, depth and concentration, but Napa with a sense of terroir and a nod to Europe’s most elegant, restrained styles (think the stately Saint-Estèphe reds and you’ll get close). These are Napa reds practically tailor-made for Right Coast wine geeks – tight without being taught, lean without being languid, fruity without being flirtatious.

In other words, at their best these wines can be tear-inducingly good.

The 2000 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is really just coming around, for example, and it’s stunning – juicy, with a touch of earth and leather, the red and black fruits are dense but dancing, like those hippos in Fantasia.

The 2001 is leaner, with a lot more earthiness but still striking in its acidic structure. 2002 (my least fave of the bunch) was almost Syrah-like, only with boatloads of minerality and leather. 2003 was a different animal entirely, a total spice box with fine tea on the side, but again that minerality shone through; it was svelte, tangy and demanded food.

Cathy’s 2004 Napa Valley Cab shows much fruitier and full of black and blue berries, but those leather and stones and earthy minerals were still the undercurrent, and the long finish was red and tangy.  2005 might have been my personal fave – Dark and funky, cassis all the way, truffles and such a delicate mouthfeel, but grippy and structured, too. When this wine shut down it was an odd bird, for sure, but when it opened back up? Killer.

The question for me, then, was how is this kind of restraint – where a mineral undercurrent of place exists along with potentially-endearing vintage-variable aspects floating on top – possible in Napa Valley, home of ultra-ripe, balls-to-the-wall reds? In other words, why aren’t these wines clocking in at over 15% abv?

“Picking [earlier] is the only method for managing alcohol,” Cathy told me. Occasionally she does “add a small amount of water back” in rare cases where there’s a drought or severe heat spell right before picking. But that’s it – what you get is mostly a matter of the nuances of location and timing.

Personally, I don’t care what this serious little lady with the schoolmarm glasses does to her wines, so long as they remain this alive and this good over time; she can send them to outer space to have alien monkeys shoot magical ray beams at the barrels of juice for all I care. And no offense meant to Galloni but I don’t give a rat’s ass what The Wine Advocate scores these wines (in case you were wondering, apparently that tasting with him went just fine).

Let’s get to the more recent releases, because they’re worth talking about:

2006 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Price: $75
Rating: A-

A riper, darker take on the signature mineral-driven, poised Corison style. The fruit is dark and the blackcurrant is leading the charge, but the intense stony minerality is still there tying everything together in a neat little tasty package for you. The wine isn’t shy about its power; it’s grippy, with depth and tension. In other words, it’s lovely and firm at the same time, and will need a few years to unfurl, at which time it will make an excellent dinner guest for your most elegant date night meal.

2007 Corison Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Price: $98
Rating: A

My tasting note literally reads: “this wine is a trained pet black panther; muscular, dark, earthy, taut, with a brilliant, piercing gaze.” Yes, I was spitting and no, I wasn’t buzzed. The comparison just… fits. I think the black panther is wearing a diamond-studded collar as well. You will just have to taste it to see what I mean, at which time you will totally be inside my head (you’ve been warned!).

  • Jason Phelps

    I’ve been reading your writing for about 9 months now, but I believe this is the finest piece of yours I have read.

    The person was the story and I got it. I can imagine exactly what those conversations would have felt like from the specific details you provide. I also feel like you were in the perfect zone (at least from the way you present it of course) to interview this person at this time.

    Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in. It is showing through more every time I visit.

    • 1WineDude

      Wow – thanks, Jason, you just made my day!

  • george kaplan

    This is the way all the Rutherford Bench used to taste: Krug, BV in Andre's time. Martha's, Martini, Inglenook,some Mondavis. They had what Lichine, and pretty much nobody since, called " breed", which is not the same as depth or complexity. Depth and complexity is easy to get in Napa these days, but so many taste like 3D movies to me, if I may completely scramble some metaphors. I haven't tasted Corison's wines but now I can't wait to.

    • 1WineDude

      Thanks, George. I dig the metaphors mixed and all :). And I love that term… Breed… Might have to steal that! :)

  • Evan Dawson

    Joe – Great stuff; when you were first said you were meeting with Cathy, I winced a bit, only because she has so often gotten recent media attention. Nice to see I was wrong, because I learned new things in this piece.

    I want to make sure I understand something about your preferences in particular. For a while, I've heard writers and wine lovers debating Corison wines in this context: If you love Corison Cab, you won't love the bigger, riper cabs from Napa. They're just so different, so intellectually separate, that it doesn't make sense to love them all. But you've given high marks to some very big Cali cabs that are nothing like these place-driven wines from Corison. Given the choice, which style are reaching for first when you're enjoying wine at home?

    • 1WineDude

      Thanks, Evan – that means a lot but even more coming from you. The short answer to your question is that it depends on my mood at the time :). I rate wines trying to minimize the impact of my personal preferences. So wines can get lowish ratings even if I find them delicious stylistically, and others can get higher marks even if I dislike the variety or style personally. So the rating is not necessarily an indicator of what I most enjoy drinking, bu I'm lucky in that my tastes are pretty catholic and varied. If I had to choose, just talking purely personally, I tend to enjoy more and more wines with subtleties and nuance, as opposed to those that jump out of the glass. Most days I'm likely to be jonesing for a style like Cathy's. But Not everyday :).

      • Evan Dawson

        I hear you. Your post inspires me to check another never-had wine off the list: I'm still waiting for my first Corison Cab. And looking forward to it.

  • Joel Ohmart

    Your refreshing and almost playful interviewing style mixed with your Josephs Technicolor Dream Coat like metaphors never cease to entertain and inform me. I might go so far as to echo Jason Phelps’s opinion on this post. Kudos to you sir, you make reading about wine so much more than worth while.

    • 1WineDude

      Thanks so much, Joel!

  • Ed Thralls

    Great post Joe. I have met Cathy, got to taste with her, talk about wine, etc… what a magically location in the Napa Valley too. The 2001 has been my recent fave with the 2003 not far behind.

Default Stress/Emotional Eating is a type of bingeing, right?

Hello, Fellow Chicks. I've been on 3FC before -- though not very actively and actually only briefly before my fitness plan imploded upon impact with an overly-demanding, sedentary schedule -- but I'm back now and more committed than before. My work is very sedentary and at this stage in the project, it's really stressful. That's normal for most people, I guess, but my relationship with the stressful project seems to have gotten to a point that impacts my weight. I'm pretty sure that stress-eating isn't healthy management of the self.

I'm currently the heaviest I've ever been (and also the oldest I've ever been, which means the body works slower now that I'm in my 30s than it did just a couple of years ago in my 20s) and really struggling to reduce fat and become healthy. Because I can't just watch what I eat for a week, workout a lot, and see an immediate result, I'm trying to be more responsible by seeking out communities of people in similar situations so that I feel less like a freakish failure and more inclined to keep motivated! In an effort to do so, I'm trying to re-evaluate my patterns and tendencies when it comes to eating.

So, I'm not really sure if emotional eating is a type of binge-eating, but it seems to me like combination of over-eating and displacing value when it comes to what gives a person comfort. I've been thinking about this a lot today and wondered what other people thought and if similar strategies to controlling eating very large portions might work when eating for the wrong reasons.

I didn't think I was a an emotional eater because both sadness and happiness had a tendency to dampen my appetite, not stimulate it; I wasn't eating to dull intense feelings. I realized today, though, that I do tend to overeat when I am feeling very stressed out, frustrated, overwhelmed, unfocused/bored with the moment and unable to change it, spiteful about criticism regarding my physical body, or when I feel like I'm being pushed around and not in control. When I dive into my work and focus, I forget to eat for a couple of days at a time and most of the time, I don't even notice that I'm hungry or will drink tea, coffee, or water instead of taking the time to eat real food. You see, my time-saving strategies spawned the poor eating habits that are wrecking my physique -- convenience = processed food, usually, eaten infrequently and in big bursts. Pack-rat mode. Clutter mode. In fact, these habits have begun to ooze out of the kitchen and into life, now, too and my once organized, fit self is overwhelmed by physical, mental, and body-fat clutter! I'm starting to think that these things are all related for me.

So, perhaps eating for the wrong reasons is actually a kind of bingeing? I'm in a tough place with my project, now, and stressed out a lot and procrastinating, too much, by eating more than I should of things that I know are bad for me. It's almost like subconsciously, I think that the indulgence will push me past that feeling of floating away in a big gust of wind, like I'm trying to increase my connection to the ground and grounded-ness, overall.

How many of you have found some connection between feeling in control of your lives in general and in control of your nutrition and fitness? Do any of you overeat or binge eat when you're feeling out of control in life? I've also noticed that my weight loss plans usually tend to fall apart when other well-meaning family members try to take over my dieting or exercise regimens by guilting me into following their advice or guilting me for choosing something that is my own, so that I feel like it isn't my own ambition anymore. In some ways, this battle for control is both about my body and about my feelings of independence.

Have any of you felt similarly? What do you do to combat stress-eating, spite-eating, or convenience-bingeing?
11/10 (194). 6/11 (188). 7/11 (178). 11/11 (165). 1/12 (174). 3/12 (175). 4/12 (172). 5/12 (178). Now: 7/14 I'm 188.

Mini-Goal 1: (-10 pounds = 178) --
Mini Goal 2: (-20 pounds = 168) --
Goal Weight: (-23 pounds = 165) --
Eventual Goal Weight: 150 -- someday

I've always associated the two together... whenever i have big changes in my life i find it difficult to stick to a plan. its something i think we all have to work on; coping strategies i think its called.

I know lots of people want to add the two cents in where its not wanted or asked for. so i ignore the advice of "tell everyone" b/c not everyone is ready for that wt loss or changes.

I'm working on how to wake up out of the mindless eating and i putting restrictions on where and when I can eat.. only at a table and away from the tv/comp/distraction.

stay strong and continue working towards you goal; also know that you are not alone; just about everything you stated is something ive done or had to deal with and i know there are many others who can relate.

Thanks for your very honest posting. I have the same issues - when I once was very organized and in control of every area of my life (it seemed), lately I've felt overwhelmed by the combination of work stresses, my twin seniors' many sports events, college tours, senior pictures, keeping up the house, and all while a single mom. After work sometimes I just sit in a rocking chair, have a glass of wine and just...eat with the weather channel on. Not a good plan, I know. I do feel that if I clean my house and get that part organized, I feel a little better, and if I get one more piece of the puzzle in control, even better yet. I'm trying to get the weight back in line, but I still have to somehow find the time to exercise, which will make me feel better about how I look and more in control. Good luck to you!

Like WebWoman, I appreciate your honesty. I'm not sure if stress/emotional eating is a type of bingeing, but I feel the same after both - out of control, failed, fat and worthless.

Being more mindful of what, when and where I eat helped me to lose 20 lbs earlier this year but when life got stressful, I fell into some old habits. I've since gained back those 20 lbs, plus 30 more for good measure.

Now, I'm refocused on improving my health. I also have reversed my thinking from "I CAN NOT reach 240 lbs" to "I will reach and maintain a healthy weight of 160lbs." I'll let you know if these work for me and look forward to seeing your progress. Good luck and all the best for the new year!

Hi and Happy New Year to everyone.

I was recently diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder. My main binge creator is stress and lack of control over what is happening. I stuff anxiety with food. I seem to be fine on the whole, when I don't have any intense work projects to do - during this period I eat healthily and regularly as well as exercise. As soon as the stress starts with the work - then I am very much in danger of entering into unhealthy eating strategies. I do two things during this period - I binge because somewhere along the line, I feel that I can have all this junk food as a reward for dealing with all these things and people that I really do not want to deal with and that this reward will make me feel better ...... then there is the grazing - eating anything and everything to quell the anxiety. I don't see the grazing as strictly bingeing as such but it is still connected to the eating disorder. Like My Best Self, I feel fat and out of control after both, but for me it is the grazing that I fear will be the most difficult to stop. I appear to have a kind of unconscious reaction to reach for food when I am stressed and anxious - ie I am not even aware half the time that I am doing it.

Turning to food sometimes appears the easy option - it appears to be a good remedy when I am tired and stressed -just to get me through the last leg and then when I get on the scale I feel sooo depressed. The therapy I am doing is making me realise when and why I overeat but it isn't shifting the weight -so four days ago I went into abstinence from white sugar and flour- maybe the therapy has helped me to do that but this is a long journey

Perfect call for first anal

When this slender youngy feels she's ready for anal sex she knows a perfect guy to call. She fucked this dude once or twice and always wondered how his cock would feel deep in her narrow ass hole. She wanted to take it slow, but ended up getting buttfucked with her panties just half way down her legs and she did enjoy this kind of random passion after the most amazing orgasm ran through her body making her moan of pleasure.

A Roadmap to Severe Asthma in Urban Children

Published Online: October 2016

Children living in poor urban communities experience a high burden of severe asthma and exacerbations despite guidelines-directed care. While key factors underlying asthma severity have been identified, an integrated understanding of how these factors are linked and contribute to severe asthma is lacking.

In a study published in The Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology (JACI), Liu and colleagues used medical evidence in the published literature to develop a conceptual diagram of how 8 essential factors are linked to asthma severity: allergen sensitization, allergic inflammation, pulmonary physiology, stress, obesity, vitamin D, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and rhinitis severity. They then used the NIH-sponsored Inner-City Asthma Consortium (ICAC) Asthma Phenotypes in the Inner City (APIC) study (published concurrently in the JACI – Pongracic et al) to test their concept using a causal network analysis. APIC participants comprised 6-17 year old children (n=561) with asthma and rhinitis from 9 U.S. urban centers who were evaluated and received guidelines-based asthma and rhinitis management every two months for one year. Asthma severity was characterized by a one-year composite assessment of day and night symptoms, exacerbations, and controller usage.

The researchers found their conceptual diagram explained a large part (53.4%) of the asthma severity observed in these children. Two pathways were the main contributors to asthma severity: an allergy pathway and an ETS exposure pathway. These pathways affected asthma mostly through their effects on lung function and the nose, such that pulmonary physiology and rhinitis severity had the largest effects on asthma severity, followed by ETS exposure and allergic inflammation. While vitamin D had a modest effect on allergic inflammation, its total effect on asthma severity was insignificant.

The authors conclude that, in inner-city children receiving guidelines-directed asthma and rhinitis care, the main factors affecting asthma severity are allergy and ETS exposure that exert their effects on lung function and the nose. This diagrammatic understanding of the key factors underlying severe asthma and their relative contributions can be used as a roadmap for prioritizing interventions to reduce disease severity and personalize asthma management, and for targeting interventional studies to improve guidelines-directed care.

The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI) is an official scientific journal of the AAAAI, and is the most-cited journal in the field of allergy and clinical immunology.

Cancer Health Disparities

One of the purposes of Minorities in Cancer Research is to address the disparities in cancer incidence and mortality faced by minorities and the medically underserved. Below you will find information about the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and MICR's involvement in this crucial area of research.

AACR Special Conferences

Ninth Conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved
Sept. 25-28, 2016Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Co-chairpersons: Rick A. Kittles, Folakemi T. Odedina, Jeffrey N. Weitzel, Jun J. Yang

This conference was inaugurated in 2007 and was a landmark event on the path to understanding and, ultimately, eliminating the disparities in cancer that represent a major public health problem in our country. By promoting the exchange of novel ideas and information among a wide range of professionals and laity, from academia, industry, government and the community, the conference was able to harness the potential and maximize the many opportunities for bringing research on health disparities from bench to bedside or community, and back again.

AACR Scientific Achievement Award

The AACR Distinguished Lecture on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities, funded by Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, recognizes an investigator whose novel and significant work has had or may have a far-reaching impact on the etiology, detection, diagnosis, treatment or prevention of cancer health disparities.

The recipient of the award receives a $5,000 honorarium and presents a 45-minute lecture at the AACR Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved.

2016 Awardee: Amelie G. Ramirez, DrPH

AACR Scientific Sessions

The AACR has demonstrated longstanding support of cancer health disparities by including this research area in its scientific sessions throughout the association's Annual Meeting:

  • 2016 MICR Scientific Symposium: "Ethnic Specific Modifiers of Cancer Risk"
  • "Meet the Director and Staff of the NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities,"  Tuesday, April 19, 2016, 3:30 - 4:30 p.m., MICR Networking and Resource Center in AACRcentral (booth 725)

AACR Publications

The AACR publishes eight highly-cited journals and a magazine, Cancer Today. Cancer health disparities has been a featured topic in articles and podcasts from these publications. See below for recent news:

NCI-Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities

For more information about cancer health disparities among minority populations, and grants and disparities research funding, visit the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD).

The National Cancer Institute announces the launch of the Health Disparities Calculator (HD*Calc). The calculator-statistical software generates multiple summary measures for evaluating and monitoring health disparities and can be used either as an extension of SEER*Stat, which allows users to import Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data or on its own with other population-based health data, such as from the National Health Interview Survey, California Health Interview Survey, Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey, and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The intended audience for HD*Calc includes anyone interested in health and cancer-related disparities, as well as those interested in learning about summary measures of health disparities.

Advance Care Planning: Practical Advice

What is an Advance Directive? All adults can benefit from thinking about what their healthcare choices would be if they are unable to speak for themselves.

These decisions can be written down in an advance directive so that others know what they are. Advance directives come in two main forms:

  • A “healthcare power of attorney” documents the person you select to be your voice for our healthcare decisions if you cannot speak for yourself.
  • A “living will” documents what kinds of medical treatments you would or would not want at the end of life.

Living wills only kick in under limited circumstances defined by state law – usually if you are terminally ill, permanently unconscious, or in the end-stage of a fatal illness. There are other circumstances under which an advance directive is important including if you are temporarily unconscious, if you have dementia but are not terminally ill. That’s one reason health care proxies are important.

AARP South Carolina recently held an advance directives education seminar in Greenville. A qualified panel of experts included Greenville County Probate Judge Deborah Faulkner, Dr. Rick Foster of the South Carolina Hospital Association, and Attorney Elizabeth “Libba” Patterson, who was instrumental in writing South Carolina’s advance directive law.

The program was video-taped and clips from each of the presentations, along with the links to the materials and other information including a link to South Carolina Probate Courts can be found online.

You can download and print these materials for your use. Also, you may obtain printed copies of the materials by calling AARP South Carolina at 1-866-389-5655.

Edinburgh Festival Theatre

The Edinburgh Festival Theatre is used primarily for musical events and touring groups and it is one of the main venues for the annual summer Edinburgh International Festival, as well as being the year-round venue for the Scottish Opera and the Scottish Ballet. This historic location is Edinburgh's oldest continuous theatre site; there has been a theatre there as far back as 1830. For nearly thirty years after 1963 the theatre became a bingo hall, but was still occasionally serving as a festival venue. It re-opened in June 1994 with a glass-fronted structure as the new entrance and a dramatic mix of art nouveau, beaux-arts and neo-classicism and now has adequate acoustics, serving all the artistic requirements of the community.

It blew my heart and my head wide open. A Foundation Workshop Ramble.

Birth is hard. – David Murray

Boy is it ever…

It’s been a week now since I got home from Texas and things still don’t feel entirely normal, and here is a little secret; I hope they never do . I’m just going to write this post from the heart, it’s going to be a bit all over the place, but it’s how my head gets whenever I think about my time there, maybe one day I’ll be able to lay it all out in a line, but for now, here is my heart.

A little over a month ago, a friend of ours Erika Mann bought her husband a trip to the Foundation Workshop for a Christmas present. Because of this, I wasn’t able to shut up all day about how lucky he was to go and how I’ve wanted to go for years, and on, and on, and on. We had already signed up for another workshop in January, so I didn’t think beyond “man that guy is so lucky” so I threw on some tunes and went to walk the dog. Little did I know that Abby had already decided to do the same for me, so when I returned home an hour later she handed me a slip of paper with my registration info to FW12a in Glen Rose Texas.

Holy. Shit.

I was completely gobsmacked. I didn’t know how to react! Should I be happy that I’m going? Mad that Abby would send me off to photographer bootcamp without even talking to me? Shitting myself, because I was no way ready for this? I decided to mostly go with the last one. I didn’t sleep at all that first night, I laid awake all night thinking about how I wasn’t a strong enough photographer to go to Foundation, that I’d get there and everyone would see how terrible I was and laugh me right out of the Hotel. This of course was my old friend Imposter Syndrome creeping up on me, something that I’ve battled my entire life. I’ve never felt like I was very good any anything that I did, and any moment people would find out and toss me out on my ass. It’s a really hard thing to deal with, never thinking that you’re good enough, that you’re lying your way through life… and now I had to face it in front of some of the greatest photographers in the world.

Again, holy shit.

Thankfully I was able to sleep a little more after that night, and with some encouraging words on facebook from Erwin Darmali (who was not only the main reason I’ve always wanted to go to FW, but would also be my mentor there as well) I fought down the urge to curl up into a little ball and cry for the rest of December.

When the time came to actually go, I was ready. Abby and I spoke a lot about my weaknesses as a photographer, the excuses I make, the fears I refused to face. I was ready for them, I was fully open to the experience, I promised myself that I wouldn’t make any excuses, that I would face any and all fears and challenges with an open heart and mind, I was going to get the most out of it even if it killed me. I had no idea what I was in for, but man was I thankful I had that mindset.

The first 36 or so hours in Texas were wonderful, a nice drive down from the Fort Worth area to Glen Rose, meeting some amazing photographers, hearing some inspiring talks from big names like Erin and Ben Chrisman, Tyler Wirken, Sergio, Brett Butterstein, and the godfather himself Huy Nguyen. I think Huy summed up what was about to happen to the room full of students best with the following Tibetan Prayer.

Grant that I may be given appropriate difficulties and sufferings on the journey, so that my heart may be truly awakened…

This was what Foundation was all about. It’s the hardest, most intensive Photojournalism workshop for wedding photographers around. It’s the “kick you in the ass, slap you silly, beat you down, and then build you back up into a better photographer and person” workshop. I was ready to be a better photographer, but I didn’t realise that I would come away a better person.

On Friday night I sat down with my team for the first time. My Team Leader Huy Nguyen, Mentor Erwin Darmali, and Assistant Candice Cusic, three of the most talented and mind-blowing photographers out there were about to push myself and three ladies through the hardest weekend of our lives. Tracey Buyce, Jennie Sewell, and Lyn Ismael and I had no idea what we were in for when we were all given the same assignment, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. My first thought was “great, this will be easy it sounds just like the Calgary Stampede and I’ve been stomping around there every summer for most of my life! My second thought was, wait a minute… I came down here to get a really hard assignment and challenge myself as a photographer, and now I’m getting thrown into a comfortable environment with three other people? This is bullshit.  But I stamped that down, because as Erwin tells me all the time “no expectations”.

We spent the rest of the night getting to know each other more, there were a lot of tears and a lot of walls were torn down that first night. Things I wasn’t expecting from this workshop, you hear about people crying but I didn’t expect it to be on the first night! We went to bed around 130, and I think I slept about 10 minutes before my alarm went off at 6am, and off I went to the stock show.

The best decision that was made for the entire workshop was for all four of us to drive together to and from Fort Worth. It was a little over an hour each way, and it very quickly became my favourite part of the next two days. I dubbed it Group Therapy. Here we were going through this madness, and we actually got to do it together. The thing that had pissed me off the night before was now the best thing, we were able to vent to each other, console each other, and pump each other up! We got to the stock show, planned to meet at sunset and split up. And that’s when it all fell down.

Here I was in a four-acre lot, with 22’000 head of livestock and around 250’000 people and I was supposed to make something meaningful. Shit. I wandered around for the first hour, just getting the lay of the land until I came across a family and their cows, they were getting them prepped for show and I decided to stick to them like glue. Here was a story! A family, people, happy moments! I can do this, it’s almost like a wedding! So I shot them for the next three hours until I got a text from Erwin and Huy “we’re here, where are you?”… uh oh. Now I had to prove myself, show them that my pictures were worthy, but I already knew they weren’t. I had been blaming bad light all morning, but once I met up with the two of them they said it best “you’re being safe, your images are boring, you’re not having fun, why are you just taking pictures and not making them?”. They were right, the only advice they gave us the night before was”have fun”, and I completely ignored it, I was shooting scared because I was trying to come out of it with something cohesive, instead of something good. So I said goodbye to my family, and went off in search of something fun.

And I failed.

The car ride home that night was cathartic, because we all sucked, we were all mad, and we were all in this together.

Critiques made us realise how silly we were all acting. None of us had fun! All four of us had shot scared all morning, and then tried to make it up all afternoon, because all four of us forgot to have fun.

We woke up the next morning after only a little more sleep with a fire under our asses. That car ride in was magical. We read each other’s critique notes, we talked about what we could all do better, we became a family. And I shot the shit out of that day.

I could talk more about shooting, and crying, and anger but I think you get the point. What I want to talk about now are my family. Lyn, Jennie, and Tracey are my rock now. We went through the Fire and Flames together and we came out reborn. These three are amazingly strong women, who have all been through some serious challenges and beat them all. We became Team Brahman that weekend, we bonded in a way I don’t think most people ever get to. We crawled through shit (literally, there was so much of it), we got soaked, we were sore and angry, but we always had each other. For these three women I am so thankful. I learned to be a better person through the guidance of Huy, Erwin, and Candice, but I am going to stick to it because of my ladies, because I owe it to them to be as strong as they are.

When Huy asked us if we wanted to do a team slideshow, something he’d only done once before we all jumped at it. We wouldn’t have our pictures if it wasn’t for all of us. Our names didn’t matter, hell our images didn’t matter, we wanted people to see us as a team. I’m so glad we did this, because when it came time for the final slideshows on Monday night I don’t think I could have got up there without them, I was a nervous, exhausted, and mildly tipsy wreck. I cried like a baby, I don’t remember at all what I said, but I am told I didn’t make a fool out of myself.  The only thing I remember saying is that these three women are going to be my Foundation for the rest of my career, they are the rock upon which I will stand, because dammit I couldn’t have done it without them.

Of all the images from Foundation, there is one I am so thankful for, and I am going to end my post with it because it sums up my time in Texas. Thank you Jeremy Minnerick for this shot. Team Brahman, you blew my head and my heart wide open. Thank you Tracey, Jennie, Lyn, Candice, Huy and Erwin, you rock.

The AM 'Three Men in a Car' Tour

AM 40th Anniversary - a look back at the history of the ABC's agenda-setting morning radio program.

Program Archive:

AM is Australia's most informative morning current affairs. It covers the stories each morning that the other current affairs teams follow for the rest of the day. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).

Opposition links Truss to AWB scandal

The Federal Opposition is claiming that another Federal Government Minister has been linked to the AWB kickbacks scandal. The Wheat Export Authority has revealed that in 2004 it investigated allegations the AWB was paying bribes to the former Iraqi regime, only to be assured by the AWB that it was doing nothing wrong and that its higher costs were the result of having to pay a Jordanian trucking company. A report on that investigation went to the then Agriculture Minister, Warren Truss. Mr Truss is not commenting this morning, but Foreign Minister Alexander Downer says all the relevant documents have gone to the Cole inquiry. And he denies Opposition claims that Mr Truss now has questions to answer over the kickbacks affair.

AWB explanations by Govt not plausible: Rudd

Labor says the Government's explanations are not plausible. They say that a confidential report shows that the Wheat Export Authority was investigating kickbacks as far as five years ago. In Parliament, however, Labor hasn't landed a 'killer punch'.

Iran, Syria accused of inciting violence

The United States has stepped into the international controversy provoked by the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. The US has accused Iran and Syria of using the furore over the caricatures to deliberately incite violence. President Bush has condemned the violence, but has also admonished the international media to be more "thoughtful".

Eddie McGuire likely to take reigns at Nine Network

It's been an open secret that Australia's oldest television network will probably choose the ubiquitous television personality Eddie McGuire as its new boss. The Nine Network's parent company is likely to inform the stock exchange today that the former sports reporter turned game show host has been appointed as Chief Executive. He faces a tough year though in the big chair at Nine; the television industry's advertising revenue growth is expected to slow.

Senators prepare for RU486 vote

Australia's 76 Senators will exercise a conscience vote this afternoon affecting the availability of the abortion pill, RU486, within Australia. A private members bill before the Senate aims to overturn the Health Minister's right to veto applications to use the drug. Instead, the Therapeutic Goods Administration would assess whether RU486 is safe to use in Australia. In seven hours of debate last night, 22 Senators supported the bill and14 argued against it.

Security officials prepare for Winter Olympics

It seems that any large event these days needs security to match, and the Winter Olympics is no different. Nine thousand Italian police officers will be ready to act, should anything disrupt the Games in the Northern Italian city of Turin. Australian security officials are also there, gauging the potential threats from anti-globalisation protestors to Islamic extremism.

Fears raised over Commonwealth Games security

With just five weeks remaining until the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, concerns remain over security at that event. A report prepared by the Victoria Police Security Intelligence Group has highlighted serious problems with investigating the backgrounds of foreign nationals who work in private security. As many as 5,000 private security guards will be employed to work during the Games, but Victoria Police's Acting Deputy Commissioner, Bob Hastings, is confident that security is adequate.

Music brings home to Palestinian refugee camp

He started out there as an eight-year-old throwing stones at Israeli jeeps and tanks. But now, nearly two decades later, Ramzi Abu Redwan has returned to the Palestinian refugee camp where he grew up, bringing music to a place which has known little other than violence and squalor for decades. The 26-year-old classically trained musician has come home from his studies in Europe to set up a music centre. Already, more than 100 children from the refugee camps have joined up to learn the joy of music.

Cape York businesses target alcohol restrictions

Cape York businesses and local government leaders say that alcohol restrictions around Aboriginal communities are scaring off tourists. The Queensland Government is confident the alcohol management plans they have in place have lowered violence and improved school attendances, and that they're going to stay there. But hotels in the remote region of Australia say that few people are now driving to the tip of the country because they're confused about what alcohol they can take with them.

Parents angry over childcare assault allegations

Posted October 27, 2011 11:08:48

The New South Wales Education Department has come under fire for its handing of a child assault case involving a man who worked in before and after school care.

The 24-year-old childcare worker in Sydney's south has been fired and remains in custody over allegations he assaulted six children.

A private school where he worked is holding an information session this morning about the matter.

But parents of public school children are angry and distressed, saying they have been told nothing.

The Education Department says it does not run the centre, even though it operates on school grounds.

One father, who cannot be named, says that does not let schools off the hook.

"It has happened behind their gates, so there has to be some kind of liability, responsibility or something," he said.

"It feels pretty much like their hands have been wiped and they don't want to take any responsibility in regards to information and the welfare of the kids."

An Education Department spokesman says parents were sent letters about the issue yesterday and have been been invited to contact the principal with any concerns.

Caica hears Walker Flat drought struggle

Posted July 25, 2012 13:41:13

South Australian Water Minister Paul Caica visited Walker Flat yesterday to speak to the local community about the continued impact of the drought.

The town is still dealing with the threat of riverbank collapse, which has forced the closure of its waste transfer station for houseboats for two years.

Mr Caica says the local economy is still struggling.

"The impacts of the drought are still being felt here and in turn, that is exactly the reason why we need to fight for the Murray to ensure that we do have a Murray-Darling Basin Plan that restores the system to an appropriate level of sustainable health, so we don't have to go through a situation in the future where we are on the verge of ecological collapse," he said.

He says it is important to engage with the local communities to strengthen the state's position on the basin plan.

"Part and parcel is ensuring that through this visit that they continue to be at the centre of the activity that the State Government will operate under to make sure that we get a plan and that's what we're doing, so it's been very positive," he said.

Auditor General critical of rail freight management

Updated January 03, 2013 18:30:41

The Auditor General has recommended changes to the State Government's management of the lease of WA's rail freight network.

Colin Murphy has found the Public Transport Authority does not have a risk management plan for the lease with private operator Brookfield, although it is now working on one.

It comes amid debate over the future of the Tier Three network which had been due to shut down last year but will now remain in operation until at least October.

Mr Murphy says the Authority's method of assessing whether a line is uneconomic is also unclear.

"There's been some concern about accounting treatments and overheads and how capital costs are applied and we've suggested they need to be sorted out so that going forward, when there is a suggestion that a line's uneconomic, there's less of a debate or a concern about how that is actually measured," he said.

The State Opposition says the report highlights a concerning level of Government mismanagement of WA's rail freight network.

Transport Spokesman Ken Travers says the Government has neglected the network.

"This is a damning indictment of the way in which the Barnett Government has managed the rail freight debate," he said.

"Risk is one of the many issues, but there are also question marks about whether they have been getting good value for money for the state.

"There was a very poorly structured contract in the first place, there are real question marks about the way in which the contract has been administered, particularly by the current Liberal-National Government, and real question marks about some of the decisions which were taken in respect to the closure of the Tier Three lines."

In a statement, the Transport Minister Troy Buswell says the State Government supports the rail network but any decision over the future of the Tier Three lines would be a commercial one.

This protein is thought to play a significant role in the signal transduction of hematopoietic cells. It is able to phosphorylate and inactivate Src family kinases, and may play an inhibitory role in the control of T-cell proliferation. This protein might be involved in signaling in some cases of breast cancer. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Five Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day

Mother’s day is a celebration for our mother’s and for us to make them feel how important they are to us. Most of the time, Mother’s day usually mean searching for some flashy cards or gifts. But this year let’s do something unique and unforgettable to make her feel special and worthy.

Let’s pick up few of these ideas for this mother’s day to make it memorable.

Celebrate Mother’s Day

Charity box – Mothers are very generous and love being kind to those who are needy. Schedule your time with her to make some charity and visit in your neighbourhood church or may be to an orphanage or women’s shelter home.

Picture collage – A nice picture collage showing your moments with your mother can be made, so she can live all those moments at one go which she might do not remember out of her toughest schedule. Memories are always good to cherish.

Personal shopping and a shopper –Give her a day off. It’s an ideal gift to a mother who loves to shop. Her personal shopper would give her all ideas about the stuff she wants and someone who won’t be tired going store to store for what does she actually looking for. Few stuff for home décor would make her feel like a queen for this day.

Take responsibility – What’s greatest than taking her responsibility for this day. Let her celebrate the day as she wants to spend. Give her a work off from all that regular stuff she is doing. She deserves it..!! Prepare all her favourite meals around the day and serve as she has been doing all the time for you.

Yoga or a Spa session – Out of all the tiredness she has been carrying around every time with the work pressure, what’s ideal than a yoga session followed by a spa. She has pampered you in all your life phases. Now give her a chance to do something for herself. A day resting with some yoga steps and relaxingher taking a massage and a spa would definitely make a lifetime memory.

With all that you do to make it a special day for her, a carefully picked gift would just add the charm. Anything from her favorite perfume to a tantalizing birthstone pendant could be a gift to create lasting impression on Mother’s Day.

Michael Atonal Vick - Sound As Music Presents: ProNounced Triple-V (VVV)

Oct 24, 2016    l   By Ablx Staff

Michael Vick may be best known as the founder of the NYC International Fretless Guitar Festival, but he also has a larger role in bringing the fretless guitar into the mainstream.

Vick says, I feel with acoustic fretless guitar one can get the purity of tone and intonation that has been missing from most guitar literature, and on the flipside, the electric fretless guitar can project the artist and listener completely into outer space where no absolute rules apply. They both can present the player with more sonic possibilities ever imagined, and through this they are tied inherently to the past and the future in a sonic continuum.

Not only has he broken free of the 12 tone Western system, he has long been an advocate of found music, using ordinary objects, and even machines, to create music that fits into his infinitely pitched worldview.

Michael aTonal Vick returns, this time as VVV in his new release Sound As Music Presents: Pronounced Triple-V (VVV) w/ special guests MonoNeon (Prince), Johnny Reinhard (Haas), Brad Catler (La Monte Young), Ryan Shah (TimeSpy), Geoff 'G5' Cormier (The Archetypes), Todd Campbell (Joe Bonamassa), Siddharth Chaudhuri (TimeSpy), Slang (April Wine) & Scott Hilton (Wit’s End).

Most of this recording features just Vick playing all instruments (and many found objects) to create a unique sonic palette. Theremin-like sonic sweeps mix with mechanical, avant garde noises and fretless guitars to produce some challenging music. After all, according to Vick, all sound is music, and he has created something very unique here.

Shades of experimental Sun Ra, wacky Zappa, and explosive Fiuczynski abound. Eastern melodies, like those displayed by sarod masters, can be heard alongside both spoken-word and sung vocals. The fretless nature of the strings can lend a bottleneck-like slide guitar sound when he chooses. Some percussive (often raking) sounds create an ambient aural soundscape that, when matched with the notes from the instruments, is quite trippy, for lack of a better term.

This is heady stuff, although more aggressive stereo imaging could have made it all the more fun. The guests are utilized carefully so as not to distract from Vick's vision. There are a few tracks that were recorded live in front of an audience that mesh well with the studio overdubbed pieces. Don't expect to hear a killing chop-fueled rhythm section; do expect to be treated to an auditory mashup of playful-yet-serious, experimental goodness.
