Make your own armchair tables, so there's always somewhere to put down that coffee (or wine, depending on the time of day!).
It's a general design rule that you should have at least one spot to set down a drink for each seat in your living room or family room. So what do you do when you don't have enough space for even the smallest of side tables? You improvise make your own armchair tables, of course!
Such is the story in our living room.
While the space itself is rather large, and there's a coffee table and sofa table within reach of the sectional couch, there is literally zero space for any tables next to either of the armchairs near the fireplace. (And the coffee table is too far to reach.)
Which makes it very difficult to enjoy a cup of coffee and greet the day with a good devotional or sip a glass of wine and have a snack with guests.
But the solution is actually very simple – and very inexpensive!
Two of my favorite things!
How to Make Your Own Armchair Tables
(This list includes some affiliate links)
- One 1″ x 8″ x 6′
- Brad nailer and nails (about 24 nails) OR 24 small finishing nails and a hammer
- Construction adhesive or wood glue (optional)
- saw
- measuring tape
- Minwax Dark Walnut Stain
- Varathane Sun Bleached
- 2 foam brushes
- lint free rag
1. Measure the arms of your chair. You want the armchair tables to fit a little snuggly – no spilled drinks please! We have Ikea Ektorp chairs so our tables' overall measurements are 6″ x 11″ x 12″. Even if you have Ektorp chairs, please measure as Ikea may have changed things slightly. Also note that you want the inside piece of each table to tuck down in beside the cushion to prevent catching on pants, etc.
2. Cut your pieces to the correct sizing. Each of our tables is made up of three pieces: one is 5 inches long, one is 10 inches long and one is 12 inches long. (All are approximately 8 inches deep based on wood size.)
3. If applying construction adhesive or wood glue, apply and simply nail together.
4. Once assembled, apply Sun Bleached stain with a foam brush and let sit for about 5 minutes. Then wipe off excess with a lint free cloth. Then with another foam brush apply dark walnut stain and let sit for 5 minutes. Wipe off excess with a lint free cloth.
For a step-by-step tutorial on how to stain wood, check out this post.
5. Let stain dry THOROUGHLY. You do NOT want the tacky stain on your furniture! I left ours to dry for a week and made sure they weren't at all tacky before putting them on the chairs.
And voila! Simple armchair tables.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks in cooperation with local authorities recently closed Intake Fishing Access Site (FAS) to public use due to high water conditions. The Yellowstone River has flooded some of the access site and potentially put the public at risk.
Several fishing access sites including Intake FAS will remain closed until further notice. Public camping at several sites will remain unavailable until road and camping sites begin to dry.
High water also closed east and west Rosebud FAS, 12 Miles FAS , Black Bridge FAS are closed and potentially others may be subject to closure this week as rains continued throughout the past weekend and subsequent runoff will raise the water level in the prairie drainages, Tongue, Powder and Yellowstone Rivers.
The public is advised to stay off the river until water levels recede. Large amount of debris can be seen floating in the river's fast current posing a dangerous hazard to boaters.
"Swift currents, cold water and hidden snags will make boating dangerous in the next few weeks and greatly increase the risk of drowning," said Liz Lodman, FWP Boating Coordinator. "A boater's best bet, if there is any question about conditions, is to play it safe by waiting until after the spring runoff."

You must be aged 18 or over.
To study Level 3 you must have at least 3 GCSEs at Grade C or above which should include Maths and English (or a NARIC Statement of Comparability).
To study at Level 4 you need to have one A-Level at Grade C or above plus one additional A-Level and at at least 3 GCSEs at Grade C or above which should include Maths and English (or a NARIC Statement of Comparability).
You will also need a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) report, find out more information and how to apply.
What is NARIC?
NARIC offers a variety of services on the comparability of qualifications from overseas (outside the UK). They can provide a Statement of Comparability, which is an officially recognised document that states, in English, what your overseas qualifications equate to in the UK.
Literacy and Numeracy qualifications for Early Years Educators
The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets out the requirements for staff:child ratios in settings delivering the EYFS and the qualification levels that practitioners must hold. These requirements were revised in April 2017. You will need to hold a Level 2 qualification in English and Maths from the list available on the DfE website . To see what can be accepted as an equivalent click here
Note that this is not a requirement forentry to study on the MCI Early Years Educator qualification, but it will be a requirement for entry to employment to be counted on the ratios to work with children in an early years setting in England.
"I already hold a valid qualification that gives me licence to practice (be counted on the ratios) to work with young children. Do I still need to meet the Maths and English requirements?"
If you already hold a full and relevant Early Years qualification (e.g. CACHE Level 3 Childcare) that was started before September 2014 this doesn't apply to you.
English Language
If English is not your first language we need to assess that you will be able to meet the requirements of the course in reading, speaking, listening and writing. IELTS is the most widely accepted English Language testing system and you will need a score of 6.5 across all four components. For further information, including when and where you can take the test, click here.
International Students
If you intend to study within the UK and are not a UK/EU citizen you will need a full and relevant visa for the duration of your studies.
Please note we do not have Tier 4 status and are not able to issue student visas for study in the UK.
Criminal Convictions Check
You will need a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check, as the course includes a work placement with children. International students will need to comply with the relevant legal requirements within their country.
Everyone who applies for the course will have an interview to make sure the course is right for you and you are right for the course. You will be guided through the application process by someone who knows the course really well and can give you all the information you need. To book an interview contact email@example.com.
~ Interviews are in person at our London College or via Skype ~
Before the interview complete an application form – click here to download – and tell us what brought you to Montessori and why you want to work with young children. You will need to send us copies of your educational certificates and will need 2 references.

Once we got back from Kigali with all the materials (and Alison!) we made some final touches on the system at Kigogo and reopened it for business. I'll explain some of the problems of the system and how we went about solving them.
The main civil works issues that Kigogo had when we arrived in Banda were as follows:
1. Water overflowed at several points along the channel in the rainy season, which caused hillside erosion
2. The site operator had no robust way to control flow into the system; his method of stoping flow to the settling tank was a combination of mud and leaves inserted into the channel
After brainstorming, weighing specification importance and comparing design alternatives like we've been taught at Thayer 🙂 we decided to construct a spillway just before the most severe point of rainy season overflow. The spillway was designed to let 12 L/s continue towards the settling tank while sending the remaining water back to the river. Downstream of the spillway, a sluice gate allows the site operator to fine tune the amount of water continuing to the settling tank and also stop the water completely when the system needs to be turned off.
The finished product seems to work pretty well. The real test will be during the rainy season though. We hope to get some pictures and reports of how it's working in a few months. We did get great feedback from the community already though. When I was buying eggs, the shop owner told me, "God bless you, Kigogo is amazing." June also got several handshakes and blessings at the opening of the Kigogo, when the site successfully charged all types of batteries faster than it ever had before. It is exciting to see the community respond positively to our work!

Not to sound like a complete SoCal elitist snob, but I do most of my writing down by the pool, lounging about – in the shade, of course -- often sipping some kind of beverage, sometimes a cappuccino, sometimes a whiskey and soda, Sinatra style. Anyway, this is where I met Marc Ostrick, good neighbor, family man, music aficionado, Scotch connoisseur, raconteur and co-founder of the website eGuiders.com. The site, launched in February of 2009, is in essence your TV Guide to online videos. And starting this past April 1st, Marc began adding original programming to the mix. Shows include eG Live, The Untitled Series, Two Live Jews (featuring Marc and comedian Ed Krasnick) and my favorite show, The B Side Live.
The B Side Live combines all the elements dearest to my geeky, fool's paradise kind of life -- great records (and always 45's), good single malt whiskeys and ridiculous tomfoolery, always augmented with a live audience, dancers and green screens, and on special nights when the moon is high and some immense, slippery funk track greases up the studio, your hosts Marc, Brian Rothe and myself serve up some real good jambalaya.
This Thursday, May 6th at 9 pm (Pacific Coast Time), we will be dishing out one last episode before our summer hiatus. Below is last week's extravaganza, here is episode 3 and episode 4 and yeah, on occasion it's a bit jejune, puerile, brutish, corporeal, feral, and yes even a little ferine, but it's a helluva good, goddamned time.

What kind of adventures are you having this summer? Wherever life takes you, seize opportunities to do memorable things and make priceless memories with those you love. As you know, the days of family life may be long, but the years are definitely short. Don't sweat the small stuff. Each day is what we make of it... so make it great!
GoApe had advertised a youth writing contest, and our little author was all in! As soon as we were back to our hotel, she went to work on her adventure story and finished it the next day. It was so interesting to see how our travels and adventures and memory-making experiences inspired her writing... and I was caught off guard by the plot twist near the end!
You can read her composition below... and if you'd like more of Little Sister's writing and unique brand of sunshine, check out her ebook to help families play and make memories together: The How to Be Silly book.
"No!!" Richard had not meant what he said, the words were just coming out like lava and now he was being taken away by Beefeaters. He had said, "That's your dress? It's totally out of style, you know. I mean, who wears plaid with polka dots?" to the queen and here he was. The Beefeaters took him through beautiful ballrooms and dining rooms. He had never been in Buckingham Palace before. The Beefeaters dragged him to a beautiful throne room. Golden chandeliers draped the room. Gilded frames of beautiful kings and queens in lots of jewels and accessories filled the walls.
Queen Elizabeth was in the throne ahead of Richard looking very angry. "Richard David Scotts," she said, "You are hereby declared as an official servant of the Queen."
"What?!?" Richard was sent to his room, which was quite big, a nice big bed. Boxes were delivered so he could situate himself. He had an office with a mini fridge and snacks inside it. By his bed was a nightstand with an old-fashioned alarm clock, a lamp, Ipod, Ipad, phone, tablet, Kindle, Chromebook, earbuds, and a brand new water bottle.
Richard decided to run away. He grabbed a backpack lying down on the floor. He grabbed a lot of snacks, all his electronics, clean clothes and a bunch of other stuff. That night, when no one was around, he snuck out.
When he was a few miles away, he built a fire and laid out a sleeping bag he had found in the closet of his bedroom. Then we went on his phone and dialed his Mom. "Oh Richy, I've been worried sick about you!!"
"Mom, I need you to pick me up tomorrow at 9:00 at the Big Ben."
"Okay, honeybunches, see you then."
The next morning, Richard woke up at 7:30 by his alarm clock, packed up camp and set off. A few minutes after, he saw a sidewinder snake slithering towards him. Its bloodthirsty fangs jammed straight toward his legs, and bit! The pain was rising and he couldn't walk.
His mother finally found him. After a surgery, he was okay, and he went home.
And Richard never, ever was rude to the Queen again.

Studio Number: 200
Primary Medium: Painting/Mixed Media
Other mediums: Drawing, Sculpture, Installation
My current work is a departure from much of the previous work I have done, which focused on natural forms such as roots, nests, and cocoons. This previous work includes sculptural installations that provided the forms from which ensuing drawings and paintings evolved.
My work at present is based on my interest in fragmented memory and elapsed time. This concept is expressed in small and medium-sized mixed media paintings on panels. These paintings are collages utilizing photos from my travels and local experiences over various periods of time. Both the process and visual result reflect fragments, juxtaposition, and distorted reality.

Movie Review
by Charles Kirkland Jr.
First of all I am a fan of the first series of Ghostbusters movies. I loved the interaction and comedy between Murray and company. I even was a fan of the second movie which some people did not like. So I had a good deal of trepidation about the new Ghostbusters movie and a lot of questions. 1. Is this a sequel or a remake? 2.Will this movie have any connection to the first series? 3. Why are they making this movie?
To answer the last question first. Paul Feig must have said that he could do it better and he did! I absolutely loved this movie. It was hilarious. It was intense at times. And the 3D...
I know, I know. Lately, I have been a naysayer to the whole 3D experience. I felt that it has used up its cycle of relevance and needs to be placed back on the shelf to wait for the next revival from a future generation. But Ghostbusters used their 3D in excellent ways. Slime! Proton streams! Ghosts reaching out! Wow! The visual experience in itself was delightful. Special effects were incredible in this movie.
But the films storyline, action and humor were spot on. There were no dead spots in the movie where you were not entertained. Wiig and McCarthy are their usual comedy gold but the spotlights shine on Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth. These two performance kept you rollicking on the floor through the whole movie. I have to see the movie more than once because of the outright, out loud laughter generated by them throughout this movie. Hemsworth continues to show that he is more than a guy with a hammer and McKinnon shows why she is one of the only reasons that SNL is remotely funny anymore.
Question number one. This is not a sequel. This is a total remake. Everything starts with these ladies. The names are different. Their roles are similar but the similarities end there. Which brings me to the one small criticism I have of this movie. I know Leslie Jones is fulfilling the role that Ernie Hudson played in the first movie but why couldn't the sister be more than street smart? Not a problem but I'm just saying. Question number two. There are a couple connections to the first series however, they are homages only. That being said, every major character from the first Ghostbusters except for Rick Moranis is in this movie. Even the song is back (who said it wasn't?).
This movie is clever and incredibly fun and good for most of the family. Beware, there are a couple of intense scenes involving ghosts, of course, and one possession scene that may make this movie a little too much for children under 7. Otherwise, this movie was one of the best experiences of the year and is definitely a top ten. By the way, stay through the credits!

The Real Top 10 of 2016 So Far
After witnessing the travesty of the list provided by my cohort on this website, I was challenged to provide a more accurate (or should I say rational) list of the best of 2016 to this point. I used the first six months of the year as the benchmark. So anything coming out in July would not be eligible for consideration (which is fortunate because the July movies so far would not have even cracked the list).
10. Eye in the Sky
- This is a deliberate and thought provoking drama where issues of right and wrong, come into play in the new arena of high-tech warfare. How far is too far? How much collateral damage is acceptable? Helen Mirren leads a stellar cast including the late Alan Rickman.
9. 10 Cloverfield Lane
- John Goodman submits a sublime performance as a man you just can't trust. Again you just have to question who's right and who's wrong.
8. The Nice Guys
- Shane Black has a way of making great not-really-buddy movies, Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and now this. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are great together as detectives in this twist-filled, comedic romp through '70s Los Angeles. Let's have a sequel!
7. Batman v. Superman: The Dawn of Justice
- For as aggravating and full of holes as this movie was, we got to see Batman (a murderer) and Superman (wimpy) in lights that we had not seen before. A definite cinematic tour-de-force. Hopefully the ultimate edition will make it more cohesive.
6. Deadpool
- So what it's R-rated. This movie rocks! Ryan Reynolds plays the role he was born to play as a wisecracking, love-making superhero.
5. Jungle Book
- OK, I was wrong about this one too. Disney makes another great live action version of a beloved animated feature.
4. Captain America: Civil War
- No one's list is complete without this movie. The action, the drama, the story. So what it wasn't like the book. Neither was BvS, the Jungle Book or Suicide Squad for that matter. This was clearly the best of the comic book movies of the year so far.
3. Sing Street
- This little independent film blew me away. Set in Ireland in the '80s, this coming of age tale of rock and roll and young love was refreshing and beautiful. By the way, the soundtrack is totally awesome, dude!
2. Green Room
- Another sleeper hit. Patrick Stewart shows his range playing Darcy, a more than evil owner of a Skinhead bar, who is trying to kill the members of a rock band that has seen too much.
1. Zootopia
- With its super intelligent mix of adult and child humor and themes, this is the go-to movie for family fare and a clear frontrunner for the animated Oscar title. Could there be a crossover into Best Picture?
The Film Freak Isaac Horvat
Top Ten Movies of 2016 So Far
2016 has been a very strange year for movies. Audiences seem to be more perceptive about the big, dumb, CGI, noisy blockbusters that just a few years ago would have been successes but at the same time there also seems to be a lack of passion about smart, low-budget, indie films either. 2016 has also been the year of movies that stir up debate: Do critics sometimes get caught up in the popular opinion of their peers? Does branding still work? Can you like average movies despite their flaws or must everything be 100% good or 100% bad? Should the Rotten Tomatoes score matter at all? Whatever your answer to these questions these are my personal Top Ten movies of 2016 so far. I'm not saying top ten best technically or works of film or what have you. Some of them I believe (Esp. Number 1) are the best but most of them are my personal favorites based on my opinion.
(Disclaimer: Some may wonder about certain indie films: I haven't seen Sing Street yet, have seen The Lobster, was not impressed.)
Honorable Mentions: Knight of Cups (not for everyone, I personally connected with it), Captain America: Civil War (for apparently everyone, I personally did not connect with it), 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (good movie but knocked out by another current war movie), Warcraft (I personally loved this fantasy flick but there's only so many spots), Midnight Special (Not my favorite Jeff Nichols movie but A+ for effort.)
10. Finding Dory:
A worthy Pixar sequel that wasn't as good as the first but still better than the last several Pixar movies. Still only the second best animated movie of the year though.
9. Eye in the Sky:
Reminiscent of Good Kill but a much broader look at drone warfare while at the same time making it much more tense and disturbing. Sure to spark debate wherever watched. RIP Alan Rickman.
8. Deadpool:
A long awaited Ryan Reynolds passion project that is all about fan service. The story may be formulaic but the character defies formula.
7. The Finest Hours:
An underlooked but entertaining true story about the largest Coast Guard rescue in history. Harkens back to when Disney cared about live action, family friendly, action adventures.
6. The Jungle Book:
A fun, rollicking live action update to the classic Disney tale. It has the songs, it has the action, and it has Bill Murray and Christopher Walken as singing bears and orangutans.
5. 10 Cloverfield Lane:
The second best close quarters thriller of the year. John Goodman chews scenery and a first time director makes his mark with a tense, shocking film.
4. Green Room:
The Best close quarters thriller of the year. Patrick Stewart chews scenery and Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin) directs another great movie. RIP Anton Yelchin.
3. Eddie the Eagle:
This and the next are almost purely personal picks. I love this story, Taron Edgerton and Hugh Jackman are wonderful, and the ending brings tears to my eyes every time. Fly like an eagle guys.
2. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:
I could (and have) written full articles about this and why it's underrated but for me personally all I need: Luther's schemes, Supes and Bats fight, and WONDER WOMAN GUYS!!! Loved it. Watch the Ultimate Edition. Enough said.
1. Zootopia:
The best animated movie since I don't know when, and one of my all time favorites. This is a kids movie that has: a Godfather tribute, an effective Jump Scare, a neo-noir mystery, a kid friendly message about racism, discrimination, and tolerance. Affirmative action, the 80s drug crisis, and racial bias in law enforcement are in this movie. A Breaking Bad reference and a joke about the N word are ALL in a kids movie with fuzzy animals. WHAT? It's amazing.

Brooklyn Bald Tires Accident
If a tire on a large commercial truck is worn out, it may deteriorate or blow out while the truck is traveling at a high speed, causing a serious truck accident. Tire blowouts are sudden and can be catastrophic to all on the road, including drivers of other vehicles. Statistics show that tire problems on trucks cause thousands of crashes and hundreds of deaths on roads across the country. Similarly, if a car tire is bald, it could lead to a deadly car accident. Regardless of the reason for the blowout the consequences are often tragic. If a large truck collides with a much smaller sedan, an SUV or even another semi-truck, victims often suffer serious injuries such as a brain injury, contusions, broken bones, internal injuries, amputations, paralysis, or spinal cord injury. Sadly, many tire blowout truck accidents are fatal. If you were injured in a truck accident, it is important that you immediately contact a Brooklyn Bald Tires Accident Lawyer as you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering through a personal injury claim. In addition, if while treating you for your injuries your doctor is negligent resulting in a medical malpractice claim, the truck driver may be legally required to compensate you for that as well.Federal Law
Those who drive large commercial trucks such as 18-wheelers, dump trucks, tank trucks or semis are required by federal law to inspect tires before they get on the road and to maintain an inspection log detailing their visual inspections. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has strict rules to ensure that trucks traveling across New York highways and highways across the country are in good condition so that blowouts are less likely to occur. Under § 393.75 of FMCSA, it is against the law to operate a motor vehicle with any tire that has tread separation. Furthermore, the tread groove pattern on the front wheels of a truck must have a depth of at least 4/32.
To ensure that tires are safe and in compliance with the federal regulations, under FMCSA § 396.11. truck drivers must check tires as part of their daily inspection, as during other periodic and annual inspections. Drivers who fail to comply with inspection requires or willfully operate a truck with bald tires, are legally liable should a blowout result, causing serious injuries.Pursuing a Claim
Truck accidents can be devastating to a victim as well as to the victim's family. Truck accidents can lead to devastating injuries such as a spinal cord injury, broken bones, brain injury, amputation, paralysis, and all too often, death. Through a personal injury lawsuit, New York law allows you to hold the negligent party responsible for the losses you suffered. Victims who suffer serious injuries in truck accidents have significant medical bills. In addition, because victims of serious injuries often have to miss a great deal of work or are unable to return to work at all, victims have the right to sue for lost wages and loss of earning capacity.
If your injury was the result of a work-related accident, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. New York's workers' compensation laws state that injured parties are entitled to compensation if they sustain a work-related injury. Compensation often comes in the form of medical expenses, lost income and benefits, loss of ability to earn, and more. However, it is important to know that worker's compensation benefits are limited. Just because the accident occurred at work does not necessarily mean that you are limited to the benefit available through workers' compensation.Brooklyn Bald Tires Accident Lawyer
If you were involved in a commercial truck accident that was caused because one or more of the tires on the truck was bald it is important to immediately contact an experienced truck accident attorney because there are special rules that are unique to accidents involving commercial trucks. Contact Stephen Bilkis & Associates, PLLC to discuss the details of your case. Our staff is experienced in handling personal injury and wrongful death claims resulting from truck accidents, as well as SUV accidents, car accidents, and motorcycle accidents. Contact us at 800.696.9529 to schedule a free, no obligation consultation regarding your case.

CC BY 2.0 Wikipedia
For thousands of years, Judean date palm trees were one of the most recognizable and welcome sights for people living in the Middle East — widely cultivated throughout the region for their sweet fruit, and for the cool shade they offered from the blazing desert sun.
From its founding some 3,000 years ago, to the dawn of the Common Era, the trees became a staple crop in the Kingdom of Judea, even garnering several shout-outs in the Old Testament. Judean palm trees would come to serve as one of the kingdom's chief symbols of good fortune; King David named his daughter, Tamar, after the plant's name in Hebrew.
By the time the Roman Empire sought to usurp control of the kingdom in 70 AD, broad forests of these trees flourished as a staple crop to the Judean economy — a fact that made them a prime resource for the invading army to destroy. Sadly, around the year 500 AD, the once plentiful palm had been completely wiped out, driven to extinction for the sake of conquest.

Welcome to "Cajun Corner".
The main reason for my first visit to Louisiana was purely musical. I wanted to experience the atmosphere of those Cajun-songs in their original environment. During my visit also the interest in the whole Cajun-culture grew. Although their ancestors had a hard time, the Cajuns are a proud and optimistic folk. This site is made to promote that great music from Southwest Louisiana's "Cajun Country". On the Cajun Corner, you'll find information about Cajun, Zydeco & Swamp Pop music from in and outside Louisiana.

Donna Angelle & the Zydeco Posse "Workin It"
style : Zydeco
Donna Angelle (born Donna Charles in 1951 in southwest Louisiana) has released her 5th CD. By the name of Workin It, Donna Angelle & the Zydeco Posse offered MTE Records some real good work.
The CD starts out with a lot of rhythm and Zydeco enthusiasm in Rodeo Show and Creole Woman, two great self-written songs by Donna and washboard player Michelle Citizen (who are both responsible for most of the songs on this CD). Donna demonstrates her decent vocal capacity with Soul-ballad I Rather Go Blind. With her successful song Old Man Sweetheart (that already was included on different compilation discs), she pays tribute to Zydeco legend Boozoo Chavis. Catin, the only song in French here, is a fine waltz. Once the jitterbuggin Rockin It Steady runs out of its intro, its hard to stand still. On Dont Let The Green Grass Fool You Donna plays some nice full sounding accordion riffs again. Title track Workin It is another of her typical up-tempo Zydeco two-steps. Boozoos I Got A Paper In My Shoe surely doesnt need any introduction, but Donna sings the spicy version with I Got A Pepper In My Shoe This 12-track CD, who surely is a must for everyone who care about good Zydeco music, ends with a rhythmic Christmas song Zydeco Santa.
And of course not to forget is the great professional back-up from the musicians of Zydeco Posse and some additional guest musicians.
With this CD, Donna surely has reserved her place within the big Zydeco-acts.

Zydeco Joe Black Cat
style : Zydeco
Joseph Adam Mouton, a.k.a. Zydeco Joe, and his Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler Band has a brand new CD out on ZG Records. Black Cat includes 7 tracks and is good for 34 minutes of pure Zydeco-music. All tracks are self-penned by Zydeco Joe and have a typical danceable rhythm.
Opener Caroline Riding In The Buggy will be a real Zydeco two-step dance hit. Title track Black Cat is about a cat that frequently came over to Zydeco Joes family porch, while they all were playing music. Poppa Jack is a story about Joes uncle.
They Tried To Steal My Chicken is a bit in the same funny atmosphere as Boozoo Chavis Dog Hill. More typical Zydeco-humour in You Cant Rooster Like You Used To.
The typical Zydeco two-step goes on with Jack Rabbit Zydeco. Why Cant We Get Together, the slower song from the CD, is a message for everybody in these hard times, in a kind of Zydeco-Gospel-Blues-Soul atmosphere
The music from Zydeco Joe and the Laissez Le Bon Temps Rouler Band (who will play at the Cajun & Zydeco-festival in Saulieu, France) is a must for all Zydeco-dancers!

Vince Anthony Bayou Juke-Box
style : Swamp-pop
Vince Anthony, a well-known Swamp Pop artist since the sixties, is still a very active singer and performer. Bayou Juke Box is the name of his brand new CD on Midnight Gold.
Covers include real good Swamp Pop versions of T. Graham Browns I Tell It Like It Used To Be, Larry Williams The Hoochie Coo and Sam The Shams Wooly Bully.
And again, Vince himself wrote a big part of the tracks (12 out of 17).
Its all good stuff, but just to mention some of my personal highlights of his songs: Is It Over which has that lovely typical strolling Swamp Pop beat from South Louisiana, Honey Chile and Lucy Lou (both real soulful Swamp Pop), and Zydeco, Fais Do-Do, Swamp Pop Music, a rhythmic song with the most typical Swamp Pop ingredients (RocknRoll rhythm, Country guitars and Soul-music accents) included.
This CD is a good proof that good ol Swamp Pop music is still alive!

Hamawé Roots Festival
Great music and atmosphere, last weekend in a small town next to Virton in the Belgium Ardens.
On Saturday night (the night before the festival) we enjoyed a jam session at the organisers home. When we heard live Cajun music coming out of the house, we occasionally passed by a few times The owners were so friendly to let us in. So we could join a small private concert from the Savoy Family Cajun Band (Marc, Ann, Wilson and Joel) and some members of the Straps (which is a talented Belgian Old-Time Country band from that neighbourhood). Later when Marc and Ann Savoy were tired (jetlag), they went to sleep and Jan Schelpe (guitar) and I (Cajun accordion and vocals) joined the jam session with Wilson Savoy (fiddle, vocals, guitar, accordion), Joel Savoy (fiddle) and some Straps.
This already was a great experience, so the weekend couldnt go wrong anymore.
The next day, it was festival-time. The place was filled with enthusiast people from the region and cowboys, roots- and Cajun-fans (and musicians) from Belgium and Holland.
The first act was a one-man band, with Johan Dupont on the piano. This young, but very talented, musician from Florenville (Belgium) played a real nice set of authentic ragtime and boogie-woogie. Second act was an acoustic blues trio with M. Lelangue, T. Crommen & K. Mulligan (including acoustic guitar, dobro and blues harp). After that the organising band (and local heroes) The Straps came up. The crowd was very enthusiast with their real good set of old-time country, hillbilly, bluegrass & country gospel (all with a portion of humour and a big Lucky Luke-value). When it was Cajun-showtime some members of the Savoy Family Cajun band started to realize that Belgian Orval beer is stronger than Budweiser, Miller or Abita Amber
But fortunately this didnt affect their great act. Ann Savoy still sang with the same smooth voice and accompanied with acoustic guitar and tit fer (triangle). Marc Savoy played on 2 of his self-made Acadian accordions. What a wonderful sound! Marc really is a master on playing chanky-chank in a very cool way. Joel Savoy, also a very friendly, cool & talented guy, plays the Cajun fiddle (hand-made by Michael Doucets son) on a very beautiful traditional way. Pine Leaf Boy Wilson Savoy took a dive in the Orval river before he came on stage But being drunk was not too much of a problem for such a talented all-round musician. If Wilson cant play it, it aint a musical instrument! Hes a great singer, fiddler, piano and Cajun accordion player. On the piano, he even demonstrated some RocknRoll with a Jerry Lee Lewis-song, but especially his beautiful Cajun vocals (which is a bit in Dewey Balfas style and also sounds a bit like Courtney Granger, that other great talented Cajun fiddler-singer) impressed me. On the end, the other bands also joined them on stage and it all worked really well. Johan Dupont took the trumpet this time and, believe it or not, it really worked well on the Cajun songs. The whole thing resulted in a kind of Dixieland Cajun Grass-band...
See more pictures on the link below, that brings you to the website of the Straps.

Cajun & Zydeco festival Dortmund, Germany
The only bad thing we can say about this festival was the weather. The organisation, the bands, the crowd, the atmosphere, the drinks and the food (jambalaya and gumbo included) were great! Because the rain didnt allow an open air-festival, all bands played inside. But the good food was a reason to take a shower outside.
Big Bayou Bandits ( www.bigbayoubandits.com ) played an enthusiastic set of good ol Cajun (such as Lafayette, Choupique Two-Step, Ouvre Cette Porte, One Step A Chaumant, Jsuis Content Dêtre Un Cajun ), Bayou Rockabilly (like Back Home Again In Louisiana and their own Paddle On The Bayou) and Bluegrass (Foggy Mountain Breakdown and Miners Prayer). A lot of variation for a 3-piece band!
The Swamptones (www.swamptones.de ) from Germany played great Zydeco with all its ingredients like Swamp Pop, RocknRoll and New Orleans Rhythm n Blues. Their set, full of Louisiana Party music, includes songs like Dont Mess With My Toot Toot, Who Stole The Hot Sauce?, What You Gonna Do, etc.
Le Clou (www.leclou.com ) is a professional band including some French people living in Germany since many years. With their own style and sound they did a nice set of Canadian & Cajun folk-rock. Traditional sounding fiddle and accordion are backed by powerful drums, bass and rhythm guitar.
The Zydeco Alligators (www.zydecoalligators.de ) is a real good German Zydeco-band. Zydeco also in the wide meaning of the word! Their set included Louisiana Party songs like Big Mamou, Jambalaya, Dat Crawfish, Walking To New Orleans and their own Louisiana Ball (a song that echoed in my head, and in the hotel where the Zydeco Alligators and Big Bayou Bandits stayed, the whole night long)
Great atmosphere in the ballroom and also backstage with this sympathic musicians!
Thanks also to Uwe Meyer and the whole organisation of FZW. (check out the link below for some pictures of the festival)
I hope this weekend the weather will be better at Hamawé-festival (where Savoy Cajun Family Band play on Sunday) near Virton

Crawfish Kings Zydeco Boogaloo
This band from Finland was formed in 1995. Since 2000 the members of the band are Jarkko Helin (on accordion and vocals), Tommi Tenkula (on bass and vocals), Janne Salo (on drums) and Marko Aho (on guitar).
Singer-accordionist Jarkko Helin, who is the only original member of the band, has toured several times in Europe as accordionist for Cajun Du Nord. He also build his own (Cajun styled) Crawfish accordions.
After Guaranteed To Make You Dance in 2001, Zydeco Boogaloo (November 2005) is their second CD.
Opener is a rockin Zydeco version of Boozoo Chavis bluesy zydeco song Paper In My Shoe. The album continues with Evangeline Special, a great instrumental Cajun traditional. This is one of the songs where the accordionist (and of course also the other musicians) demonstrates his talent.
New Orleans traditional Iko Iko has a funky dance sound. Flaco Jimenez already surprised me earlier with his Tex-Mex version of the Beatles Love Me Do. Well, the Crawfish Kings made their Zydeco version of this song. Zydeco Boogaloo is a frantic zydeco accordion-instrumental, here done with vocals. More famous zydeco tracks on this CD are Give Me Just A Little Time, Zydeco Mardi Gras, Lula Lula Dont You Go To Bingo and Zydeco Shoes. D.L. Menards classic Back Door and Hank Williams Jambalaya are also present on this cd.
Find out more of this talented rockin Zydeco band on their website.

The other day I asked Jason what he would like for dinner, because I was out of ideas at the time. He said lasagna and then it came to me; make a lasagna with Mexican-based ingredients. Jason sounded a little skeptical, but went with it, like he usually does. The result – AMAZING! Jason finished off 4 slices easily and wanted t more…he decided to stop since he knew we had delicious chocolate candies from my parents that we would have later for dessert.
This is slightly different than lasagna because it has minimal cheese. Jason and I don't like ricotta and I didn't feel like grating cheese when I prepared this in the morning. The only cheese is on the top, but it still tastes great!
Mexican Lasagna
-8 to 10 whole wheat lasagna noodles (depending on your pan size – you will need enough to make 2 layers)
-20 oz container of ground turkey
-1 large onion
-1 can black beans (if fresh, make sure they are soaked, rinsed, and boiled already)
-1 cup of frozen corn
-Jar of spaghetti sauce
-Jar of Salsa
-Mozzarella cheese
-Mild cheddar cheese
- In a large pot, bring about 10-12 cups of salted* water to a boil (if you cover the pot it will boil faster since less heat is escaping). Place 3-4 lasagna noodles in the pot and boil for 4-6 minutes, or until slightly soft. Remove from the pot and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Watch out…they are VERY hot! Place on a dish towel to cool. Repeat the process.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey. Once fully cooked, add the onion. Since ground turkey is lean and there is little fat that come off of it, I like to just cook the onion in the fat that is there instead of going through the extra steps just to swap out a few grams of saturated fat for unsaturated fat (normally you would need to drain and rinse the meat, set in a separate bowl, wipe out the pan, add oil, heat oil, and then add the onion – this saves me 5 minutes!). Cook the onion for 5 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave the skillet on the burner. Add the frozen corn (still frozen). The heat from the pan will thaw the corn. Once thawed. Add the black beans.
- Spray a 13 X 9″ baking pan. Add one layer of noodles to cover the bottom. Top with half of the meat and vegetable mixture. In a back-and-forth motion, top with about 1/3 cup of spaghetti sauce and 1/3 cup of salsa. I didn't measure when I did, so add as much as you think is needed. Top with the rest of the noodles. Top those with the rest of the meat and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce and work into the meat mixture using a spatula or spoon.
- At this point you have two options: you can place the lasagna in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before you bake it, or you can bake it right away.
- Once you are ready to bake, heat the oven to 400F. Don't add the cheese yet!
- Bake for 30 minutes in the center rack.
- Remove from the oven and top the lasagna with your choice of cheese. We used about 1/3 of a block of mozzarella and 1/3 of a block of mild cheddar.
- Place back in the oven on the center rack and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
*salted water – many people say that you salt water to make it boil faster. This is incorrect. When you add salt to water it raises the boiling point, so the water will take longer to boil, but will boil at a temperature higher than normal. In turn, this makes your food cook faster. Think about this – this is why they use salt on ice outside; it
lowers the freezing point, causing the ice to melt at 32F and below!

The backyard campout is a great way to spend time with close friends. Sage and Isabel are pitching a tent in the Flores's backyard for a night of simple, safe fun.
Each year, millions of kids travel with their families to local campgrounds. Snoozing under the stars is an amazing experience; however, sometimes it's difficult or impossible to go camping, and you may want to consider pitching a tent closer to home. Toss in a good friend or two, and you may also discover that backyard camping is the perfect activity.
Although sleeping in your backyard may not seem glamorous, it can be an exciting adventure. In fact, it's an activity that thousands of kids enjoy each year.
Keep It Simple
One reason why backyard camping is so popular is because it's easy. No need stressing about loading a car, traveling to a campsite, and exploring foreign territory. Best of all, if you forgot to pack those lucky socks, it's no problem. Just dash into the house and grab them!
Safe & Sound
Another reason why backyard camping is popular is the level of safety. When camping on public grounds, you're usually unfamiliar with the surroundings, animals, and other campers. And in today's society, this can present many hazards to kids. But staying closer to home almost eliminates these risks. Not only do you know the area, but you also know who or what should be in your neighborhood.
Friendly Fun
When planning the event, be sure to consider backyard toys, food, drinks, and snacks. The objective here is to have an enjoyable experience for all involved. In fact, try to prepare for your backyard campout so that you have everything you need. See if you can plan the night so well that you never have to go inside your home. Even though you're in the backyard, avoiding home as much as possible is a great way to make the most of this exciting adventure.

Asteroids is a space-themed multidirectional shooter arcade game designed by Lyle Rains, Ed Logg, and Dominic Walsh and released in November 1979 by Atari, Inc.[1] The player controls a single spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers. The object of the game is to shoot and destroy the asteroids and saucers, while not colliding with either, or being hit by the saucers' counter-fire. The game becomes harder as the number of asteroids increases. It is considered to be the best 3-D space RTS of its time.
Asteroids was one of the first major hits of the golden age of arcade games; the game sold over 70,000 arcade cabinets and proved both popular with players and influential with developers. In the 1980s it was ported to Atari's home systems, and the Atari VCS version sold over three million copies.[2] The game was widely imitated, and it directly influenced Defender,[3] Gravitar, and many other video games.
Asteroids was conceived during a meeting between Logg and Rains, who decided to use hardware developed by Howard Delman, previously used for Lunar Lander. Based on an unfinished game titled Cosmos, and inspired by Spacewar!, Computer Space, and Space Invaders, the physics model, control scheme, and gameplay elements for Asteroids were derived from these earlier games and refined through trial and error. The game is rendered on a vector display in a two-dimensional view that wraps around both screen axes.
The objective of Asteroids is to destroy asteroids and saucers. The player controls a triangular ship that can rotate left and right, fire shots straight forward, and thrust forward.[4] Once the ship begins moving in a direction, it will continue in that direction for a time without player intervention unless the player applies thrust in a different direction. The ship eventually comes to a stop when not thrusting. The player can also send the ship into hyperspace, causing it to disappear and reappear in a random location on the screen, at the risk of self-destructing or appearing on top of an asteroid.[5]
Each level starts with a few large asteroids drifting in various directions on the screen. Objects wrap around screen edges – for instance, an asteroid that drifts off the top edge of the screen reappears at the bottom and continues moving in the same direction.[6] As the player shoots asteroids, they break into smaller asteroids that move faster and are more difficult to hit. Smaller asteroids are also worth more points. Two flying saucers appear periodically on the screen; the "big saucer" shoots randomly and poorly, while the "small saucer" fires frequently at the ship. After reaching a score of 40,000, only the small saucer appears. As the player's score increases, the angle range of the shots from the small saucer diminishes until the saucer fires extremely accurately.[7] Once the screen has been cleared of all asteroids and flying saucers, a new set of large asteroids appears, thus starting the next level. The game gets harder as the number of asteroids increases until after the score reaches a range between 40,000 and 60,000.[8] The player starts with 3-5 lives upon game start and gains an extra life per 10,000 points.[9] When the player loses all their lives, the game ends. Machine "turns over" at 99,990 points, which is the maximum high score that can be achieved.
Asteroids contains several bugs. The game slows down as the player gains 50-100 lives, due to a programming error in that there is no limit for the permitted number of lives. The player can "lose" the game after more than 250 lives are collected.[7]
Lurking exploit[edit]
The saucer in the original game design was supposed to take a shot as soon as it appeared. This action was altered so there would be a delay before the saucer shoots.[7] Additionally, the saucers can only aim at the player's ship on-screen, but are not capable of aiming across a screen boundary. In response to both of these behaviors, some players adopted a strategy referred to as "lurking", in which the player keeps the ship on the opposite side of the screen from the saucer when it appears, easily moving across the boundary if necessary. By keeping just one or two rocks in play, the player can shoot across the boundary and quickly destroy saucers to accumulate points indefinitely on a single credit, with little risk of being destroyed.[9][10] Arcade operators began to complain about losing revenue due to this exploit. In response, Atari issued a patched EPROM to attempt to correct the issue, and due to the impact of this exploit, Atari and other companies changed their development and testing policies to try to prevent future games from having such exploits.[7]
Asteroids was conceived by Lyle Rains and programmed by Ed Logg with collaborations from other Atari staff.[11] Logg was impressed with the Atari Video Computer System (later called the Atari 2600), and joined Atari's coin-op division and worked on Dirt Bike, which was never released due to an unsuccessful field test. Paul Mancuso joined the development team as Asteroids' technician and engineer Howard Delman contributed to the hardware.[7] During a meeting in April 1979, Rains discussed Planet Grab, a multiplayer arcade game later renamed to Cosmos. Logg did not know the name of the game, thinking Computer Space as "the inspiration for the two-dimensional approach". Rains conceived of Asteroids as a mixture of Computer Space and Space Invaders, combining the two-dimensional approach of Computer Space with Space Invaders' addictive gameplay of "completion" and "eliminate all threats".[5] The unfinished game featured a giant, indestructible asteroid,[5] so Rains asked Logg: "Well, why don't we have a game where you shoot the rocks and blow them up?" In response, Logg described a similar concept where the player selectively shoots at rocks that break into smaller pieces.[12] Both agreed on the concept.[5]
Asteroids was implemented on hardware developed by Delman and is a vector game, in which the graphics are composed of lines drawn on a vector monitor.[11] Rains initially wanted the game done in raster graphics, but Logg, experienced in vector graphics, suggested an XY monitor because the high image quality would permit precise aiming.[5][7] The hardware is chiefly a MOS 6502 executing the game program,[2] and QuadraScan, a high-resolution vector graphics processor developed by Atari and referred to as an "XY display system" and the "Digital Vector Generator (DVG)".[4][13][14]
The original design concepts for QuadraScan came out of Cyan Engineering, Atari's off-campus research lab in Grass Valley, California, in 1978. Cyan gave it to Delman, who finished the design and first used it for Lunar Lander. Logg received Delman's modified board with five buttons, 13 sound effects, and additional RAM, and used it to develop Asteroids. The size of the board was 4 by 4 inches, and it was "linked up" to a monitor.[4][5]
Logg modeled the player's ship, the five-button control scheme, and the game physics after Spacewar!, which he had played as a student at the University of California, Berkeley, but made several changes to improve playability. The ship was programmed into the hardware and rendered by the monitor, and was configured to move with thrust and inertia.[4][5][6] The hyperspace button was not placed near Logg's right thumb, which he was dissatisfied with, as he had a problem "tak[ing] his hand off the thrust button".[5] Drawings of asteroids in various shapes were incorporated into the game.[7] Logg copied the idea of a high score table with initials from Exidy's Star Fire.[5]
The two saucers were formulated to be different from each other. A steadily decreasing timer that shortens intervals between saucer attacks was employed to keep the player from not shooting asteroids and saucers.[5] The minimalist soundtrack features a "heartbeat" sound effect, which quickens as the game progresses.[15] The game did not have a sound chip, so Delman created a hardware circuit for 13 sound effects by hand which was wired onto the board.[5]
A prototype of Asteroids was well received by several Atari staff and engineers, who would "wander between labs, passing comment and stopping to play as they went". Logg was often asked when he would be leaving by employees eager to play the prototype, so he created a second prototype specifically for staff to play.[5][12] Atari went to Sacramento, California for testing, setting up prototypes of the game in local arcades to measure its potential success. The company also observed veteran players and younger players during focus group sessions at Atari itself. A group of old players familiar with Spacewar! struggled to maintain grip on the thrust button and requested a joystick, whereas younger players accustomed to Space Invaders noted they get no break in the game. Logg and other Atari engineers observed proceedings and documented comments in four pages.[5]
Asteroids was released for the Atari 2600 and Atari 8-bit family in 1981 and Atari 7800 in 1986. Released in 1981, the 2600 port was the first game to use bank switching, a technique developed by Carl Nielsen's group of engineers that increased available ROM space from 4 KB to 8 KB. Brad Stewart, the programmer tasked to work on the port, used bank switching to complete the game.[16] A port for the Atari 5200, identical to the Atari 8-bit computer version, was in development in 1982, but was not published.[17]
The Atari 7800 version was a launch title and features cooperative play. The asteroids receive colorful textures, and the "heartbeat" sound effect remains intact.[18]
A technical demo of Asteroids was developed by iThink for the Atari Jaguar but it was never released, though a prototype exists in the hands of video game collector Richard Turner, owner of the JustClaws website who demonstrated it during E-JagFest 2000. It's also referred to unofficially as Asteroids 2000.[19][20][21] In 2017, a ROM image of the prototype was released online.[22]
Asteroids was immediately successful upon release. It displaced Space Invaders by popularity in the United States and became Atari's best selling arcade game of all time, with over 70,000 units sold.[11][23] Atari earned an estimated $150 million in sales from the game, and arcade operators earned a further $500 million from coin drops.[5] Atari had been in the process of manufacturing another vector game, Lunar Lander, but demand for Asteroids was so high "that several hundred Asteroids games were shipped in Lunar Lander cabinets".[24] Asteroids was so popular that some video arcade operators had to install large boxes to hold the number of coins spent by players.[12]
Asteroids received positive reviews from video game critics and has been regarded as Logg's magnum opus.[25] William Cassidy, writing for GameSpy's "Classic Gaming", noticed its innovations, including being one of the first video games to track initials and allow players to enter their initials for appearing in the top 10 high scores, and commented, "the vector graphics fit the futuristic outer space theme very well."[12] In 1996, Next Generation listed it as number 39 on their "Top 100 Games of All Time", particularly lauding the control dynamics which require "the constant juggling of speed, positioning, and direction."[26] Asteroids was ranked fourth on Retro Gamer's list of "Top 25 Arcade Games"; the Retro Gamer staff cited its simplicity and the lack of a proper ending as allowances of revisiting the game.[25] In 2012, Asteroids was listed on Time's All-TIME 100 greatest video games list.[27] Entertainment Weekly named Asteroids one of the top ten games for the Atari 2600 in 2013.[28] It was added to the Museum of Modern Art's collection of video games.[29] By contrast, in March 1983 the Atari 8-bit port won sixth place in Softline's Dog of the Year awards "for badness in computer games", Atari division, based on reader submissions.[30]
Richard A. Edwards reviewed the 1981 Asteroids home cartridge in The Space Gamer No. 46.[31] Edwards commented that "This home cartridge is a virtual duplicate of the ever-popular Atari arcade game. [...] If blasting asteroids is the thing you want to do then this is the game, but at this price I can't wholeheartedly recommend it."[31]
Usage of the names of Saturday Night Live characters "Mr. Bill" and "Sluggo" to refer to the saucers in an Esquire article about the game led to Logg receiving a cease and desist letter from a lawyer with the "Mr. Bill Trademark."[15]
Arcade sequels[edit]
Released in 1981, Asteroids Deluxe is the first sequel to Asteroids. Dave Shepperd edited the code and made enhancements to the game without Logg's involvement. The onscreen objects were tinted blue, and hyperspace was replaced by a shield that depleted if used. The asteroids rotate, and the added killer satellite enemy breaks apart into smaller ships when hit that home in on the player's position.[5] The arcade machine's monitor displays vector graphics overlaying a holographic backdrop.[32] The game is much more difficult than the original and enables saucers to shoot across the screen boundary, eliminating a common strategy for high scores in the original game.
It was followed by Owen Rubin's Space Duel in 1982, featuring colorful geometric shapes and co-op multiplayer gameplay.
In 1987's Blasteroids, Ed Rotberg added "power-ups, ship morphing, branching levels, bosses, and the ability to dock your ships in multiplayer for added firepower".[5] Blasteroids uses raster graphics instead of vectors.
The game was included as part of the Atari Lynx title Super Asteroids & Missile Command,[33] and featured in the original Microsoft Arcade compilation in 1993, the latter with four other Atari video games: Missile Command, Tempest, Centipede, and Battlezone.[34]
Activision made an enhanced version of Asteroids for PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Microsoft Windows, and the Game Boy Color in 1998. Doug Perry, writing for entertainment and video game journalism website IGN, praised the high-end graphics – with realistic space object models, backgrounds, and special effects – for making Asteroids "a pleasure to look at" while being a homage to the original arcade version.[35] The Atari Flashback series of dedicated video game consoles have included both the 2600 and the arcade versions of Asteroids.[36][37]
Published by Crave Entertainment on December 14, 1999, Asteroids Hyper 64 is the Nintendo 64 port of Asteroids. The game's graphics were upgraded to 3D, with both the ship and asteroids receiving polygon models along static backgrounds, and it was supplemented with weapons and a multiplayer mode. IGN writer Matt Casamassina was pleased that the gameplay was faithful to the original but felt the minor additions and constant "repetition" was not enough to make the port "warrant a $50 purchase". He was disappointed about the lack of music and found the sound effects to be of poor quality.[38]
In 2001, Infogrames released Atari Anniversary Edition for the Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation, and PC compatibles. Developed by Digital Eclipse, it included emulated versions of Asteroids and other old Atari games. Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot criticized the Dreamcast version for its limitations, such as the presentation of vector graphics on a low resolution television set, which obscures the copyright text in Asteroids.[39] The arcade and Atari 2600 versions of Asteroids, along with Asteroids Deluxe, were included in Atari Anthology for both Xbox and PlayStation 2.[40]
Released on November 28, 2007, the Xbox Live Arcade port of Asteroids has revamped HD graphics along with an added intense "throttle monkey" mode.[41] Both Asteroids in its arcade and 2600 versions and Asteroids Deluxe were ported to Microsoft's Game Room download service in 2010.[42] Glu Mobile released a mobile phone port of the game with supplementary features as well as the original arcade version.[43]
Asteroids was included on Atari Greatest Hits Volume 1 for the Nintendo DS. Craig Harris, writing for IGN, noted that the Nintendo DS's small screen can not properly display details of games with vector graphics.[44]
Asteroids inspired many direct clones." By December 1981 BYTE observed that "If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then [Atari's Asteroids has] a lot to be proud of ... Its popularity has inspired numerous imitations", including eight for personal computers.[45] Quality Software's Asteroids in Space (1980) was one of the best selling games for the Apple II and was voted one of the most popular software titles of 1978-80 by Softalk magazine.[46] Three other Apple II Asteroids-clones were reviewed together in the 1982 Creative Computing Software Buyers Guide: The Asteroid Field, Asteron, and Apple-Oids. [47] In the last of these, the asteroids are in the shape of apples. Others clones include Acornsoft's Meteors, Moons of Jupiter for the VIC-20, and MineStorm for the Vectrex.[5]
The Mattel Intellivision title Meteor! , an Asteroids clone, was cancelled to avoid a lawsuit, and was reworked as Astrosmash. The resultant game borrows elements from Asteroids and Space Invaders.[3][48][49]
World records[edit]
On February 6, 1982, Leo Daniels of Carolina Beach, North Carolina, set a world record score of 40,101,910 points. On November 13 of the same year, 15-year-old Scott Safran of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, set a new record at 41,336,440 points. In 1998, to congratulate Safran on his accomplishment, the Twin Galaxies Intergalactic Scoreboard searched for him for four years until 2002, when it was discovered that he had died in an accident in 1989.[50] In a ceremony in Philadelphia on April 27, 2002, Walter Day of Twin Galaxies presented an award to the surviving members of Safran's family, commemorating his achievement.[51] On April 5, 2010, John McAllister broke Safran's record with a high score of 41,838,740 in a 58-hour Internet livestream.[52] Some claim that the true world record for asteroids was set in a laundromat in Hyde Park NY from June 30th- July 3rd 1982 and that details of the score of over 48 million were published in the July 4th edition of the Poughkeepsie Journal.
