I personally think it looks very good, and the fielding looks an integral part of the game as well (in comparison to other cricket games).
There is a new video due for release today.
With England giving its old Australian enemy an almighty thrashing last night in the UK's first ever international Twenty20 cricket match, you'll soon be able to try and better the team's incredible 100-win score in Brian Lara International Cricket, coming July 21st to PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
A quick 20-over slog match is just one of the many cricket tournaments you can create in the game and, today, Codemasters reveals the complete box-busting line up of game modes featuring in Brian Lara International Cricket.
Representing a complete compendium of cricket competitions, the game includes Exhibition, Tournament, Challenge, and Coaching play modes in addition to Career Player, Customise and The Pavilion.
Thanks to a licence from the International Cricket Council (ICC), the game includes the opportunity to play as the stars of the ICC's world famous tournaments, in the ICC Cricket World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy.

When you reckon you're the best, the Challenge mode is where you can really show off. The Classic Match mode delivers 10 scenarios where you take over a genuine historic match at a critical point and see if you can pull off, or better, the same amazing cricketing feats as your real-life counterparts. There's also the World XI Challenge, which has you playing as every international team versus the world's best XI, and the Classic XI Challenge for you to pit your selected World XI against history's greatest players in the ultimate cricketing test!

Will Cleveland, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Published 7:27 p.m. ET Oct. 2, 2019
A Rochester woman is dead almost a month after she was struck by a car and investigators remains unsure if the injuries she sustained in the crash led to her death.
Gabriel Robinson, 78, was hit by an unidentified dark-colored sedan at 9:18 p.m. on Sept. 1 while she was crossing Portland Avenue near Delamaine Drive, Lt. Nathan Cornell of the Rochester Police Department said in an email.
The vehicle left the scene and the driver hasn't been identified. Robinson, meanwhile, was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with injuries that were initially thought to be non-life-threatening, Cornell said.

"She remained in the hospital for treatment thought to be unrelated to the accident, and unspecified due to privacy concerns," Cornell wrote.
On Sept. 29, investigators were told that Robinson had died at the hospital. The cause of her death remains unknown.
"The Medical Examiner's Office will be conducting an investigation to determine if injuries sustained in the accident had any role in her passing," Cornell wrote.
The investigation remains open, he said, and anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call 911 immediately.

A hands-on conference that equips church musicians to glorify God by making truly excellent worship music.
Since many of you all enjoy music, I thought you all might be interested in this conference a friend of ours is putting on.
Go to this link to get all the details.
Early Bird registration ENDS APRIL 30TH, so be sure to signup soon if you plan to attend.
It's going to be a very good conference focused on Hymns and worship music for church and singing in harmony.
Personally I'm really excited to meet Faye Lopez as I have really liked lots of her hymn arrangements, and books. Also, I'm excited to see Brian Fox again. He used to lead a homeschool choir of young people at a conference we used to go to.
I also hope to learn more about chord structures and key progressions as well, as I'm not very solid in that area when it comes to church accompanying.
Anyhow, I hope that answers your questions. Please let me know if you have any others:) I do hope you're able to come. I'm sure it would be a blessing to you.
Choosing only one favorite isn't easy. I suppose that contemporary Christian music is my favorite. Although I enjoy Big Band, classical piano, and hymns.

Competitive action resumes for the PEUGEOT 2008 DKR on the China Silk Road Rally
August 25, 2015 By PC / PR
The PEUGEOT 2008 DKR is to make its first competitive appearance since January's Dakar at the end of August. Two cars have been entered for the China Silk Road Rally (August 29-September 11) which traverses some of the country's most epic roads.
It is a breath-taking journey that awaits Team Peugeot Total through what is today the brand's biggest single market. Its participation in the event – initially called the China Grand Rally – is one of the key moments of the team's busy preparations for the 2016 Dakar. Its cars will be in the hands of two all-French crews, namely Stéphane Peterhansel/Jean-Paul Cottret and Cyril Despres/David Castera who are looking forward to the challenges of the event's historic and highly selective itinerary.
The in-house codename for the specification of the two PEUGEOT 2008 DKRs that will compete in China is '2008 DKR 2015+'. They feature a number of evolutions based on the lessons learned during last January's Dakar which was Peugeot's first involvement in the cross-country classic in 25 years. The most notable changes concern the suspension and engine, as well as the introduction of new Michelin tyres which combine superior performance with a lighter weight, with no detriment to their strength.
This specification is an interim version which provides a foretaste of the car that will tackle the 2016 Dakar. It includes a number of parts that were put through their paces during a series of tests in Morocco earlier in the year. However, Team Peugeot Total knows perfectly that there is no substitute for actually competing in anger and the entry of two cars for the China Silk Road Rally marks an important step in the PEUGEOT 2008 DKR's development programme. Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, Carlos Sainz will be busy working on the 2016-spec 2008 DKR!
"The China Silk Road Rally will be a scaled-down dress rehearsal for the Dakar," says the 11-time Dakar winner and China Silk Road Rally novice Stéphane Peterhansel. "It is a big opportunity for us because it will be the longest test we do and we will be able to replicate the sort of timetable and conditions we face in South America. Some roads are even quite similar."
Cyril Despres, who gave a fresh turn to his career last year at the age of 40, believes the experience gained in China will help him to pursue his familiarisation with competition on four wheels after a glittering career – and five Dakar victories – on motorbikes. He also sees it as a chance to accustom himself to working with his new co-driver, David Castera, who also needs to acclimatise to a different role…
"I still have a great deal to learn about driving a car on the Dakar, and David has even more to learn," observes Cyril Despres. "That said, I think it's good to help each other as we learn together. We will need to grow together as a crew and I have every confidence in his abilities."
That said, David Castera is no newcomer to the world of cross-country rallying since he has already contested the Dakar several times on two wheels himself, with a personal best of third place in 1998. "I never imagined I would end up as Cyril's co-driver," he says. "I thought he was joking when he suggested the idea. This is just a different way of being competitive, which is something I have always been. It's a new challenge and I can't wait…"
The China Silk Road Rally starts in Xi'an, around 1,000 kilometres southwest of Beijing. It is a former capital of China (when it was known as Chang'an) and is famous as the place where 6,000 full-scale terracotta warrior statues are buried. The route, which was put together by former Dakar victor and organiser Hubert Auriol, will take crews to the Great Wall of China, via vast arid deserts and towering sand dunes. It will also follow Marco Polo's footsteps through more mountainous territory and even dense forests. The total distance of 6,500km is spread over 13 days and will visit five different provinces: Shaanxi, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Xinjiang.
For Team Peugeot Total and Red Bull, the event will be a key test, as Peugeot Sport director Bruno Famin explains: "The primary purpose of going to China is to continue the car's development and try some new parts in a competitive context. At the same time, China is an extremely important market for the brand, so we won't turn down the opportunity to shine in this magnificent setting should it arise…"

Yesterday saw 50 Girls across 4 clubs attend a Come & Try 7's morning at Mike Carney Toyota Park.
This gave clubs an opportunity to recruit new players for the up and coming Teenage Girls competition. Overall, the day was a great success with the Girls participating in an intense training session based around core rugby skills, followed by a few games of 7's.
All clubs however, are still looking to fill teams in the following age groups: Under 14's, Under 16's and Under 18. If you know anybody who wishes to play, message the TDRU for more information.


Life of a Catholic Librarian: A hodge podge of cute family activity, and is it too early to start listening to Christmas music?
A hodge podge of cute family activity, and is it too early to start listening to Christmas music?
"Yes, that's a Dalmatian on the "Spotted" page, he's a doggie. He says 'woof woof.'"
"I'm pretty sure that's not what the antelope says. But I don't what he says, so..."
"That was a good night with Anne, huh? Especially coming off of those 2 tough nights earlier in the week."
"I mean, she did fuss that one time at 10:30, but she went back to sleep."
"She got up at 10:30?"
"Yeah, don't you remember? You started crying."
"You did, but I knew it would be fine. You went right back to sleep."
"I don't think this actually happened."
This happens every year. The week before Halloween comes and I want to break out my holiday playlist. I don't know what it is, I mean, I'm always enjoying the fall and all the fabulous weather and activities that it entails, I don't need to rush Christmas.
But I do it every year. My husband is completely scandalized, because he's all for keeping all holidays within their proper season and savoring them. He doesn't think you should listen to a beat of Christmas music nor glimpse a lighted tree until after Thanksgiving.
I will grant, prior to Halloween is too early. I make myself hold off, but it isn't easy I tell you. However, the instant November 1st comes, all bets are off. I already told Mike to prepare himself for Hank and I starting the Christmas movies in November, because otherwise we don't have enough time to watch them all. We own a LOT of Christmas movies.
And with Christmas gift knitting in full swing, I mean, who can blame me?

The shy, anxious girl who would dread the camera lens pointed at her direction, is long gone. The scared, self-conscious teenager who covered her mirrors of a night so she wouldn't dare take a peak, is nowhere to be seen. What's left of Romany Bourn is a confident, courageous woman and competitor in this year's Australian Supermodel of the Year Pageant.
A sixteen-year-old Romany began her life-changing experience with En Vogue Modelling Academy in the hopes of building her confidence. Self-esteem was something Romany had always lacked within herself, and the day she started modelling was the day she would leave her old self behind, allowing her new persona to blossom.
"Modelling gave me the push I needed. I wanted to take advantage of my opportunities and be the person I am, which is exactly what I'm doing".
The heaviness of anxiety sat on Romany's shoulders her entire adolescent life, struggling to comprehend the idea of what feeling comfortable with yourself felt like.
"I always struggled with my body image. I hated looking at myself so much that I would cover the mirrors in my room of a night, so I wouldn't see myself. Nausea came over me any time people glanced my way in public or someone wanted to take my photo – my anxiety was that severe".
Joining the En Vogue Modelling Academy family was a stepping stone in Romany's journey to feeling confident and comfortable in her own skin. Day one, it was a fighting struggle to get her out of hiding and onto the catwalk with the other girls. Three years later and Romany is running her own classes, teaching students that are experiencing the same trauma she once felt.
"By teaching at En Vogue, I can make a positive impact on my students' lives, just as my teachers did with mine. I don't want anyone growing up and feeling like I did, it's just not fair. If I can influence these girls to feel confident within themselves like I do, then I would have done my job".
"Obviously, my anxiety still exists. But I've been able to control it and live my life to its full potential. Who I am now versus the person I was three years ago are parallel opposites. Now, I'm able to test my own capabilities. I love who I am, inside and out".
This year, Romany is daring and eager to step out into the unknown and explore the realms outside of her comfort zone. As an entrant in the 2017 Australian Supermodel of the Year Pageant, she is doing just that.
"I had doubts about even entering ASOTY. I compared myself to the other entrants, thinking I looked nothing like them. I was right – I don't look like them. I look like me, and I am beautiful.
Entering this competition, my aim is to bring awareness to those suffering from anxiety like I did, and show them how modelling can be such an influential guide and improve confidence".
Once too frightened of her own reflection, to competing in a nation-wide modelling contest, Romany is the living and breathing proof that you can conquer your fears – even if that fear is yourself.
To support Romany in Australian Supermodel of the Year 2017, visit her profile here.
Thank you to Romany for choosing and allowing me to share your story. You are extremely brave to do so – thank you.

Here at Chad's News, we've previously written about the lack of internet privacy and wireless security. Now we can extend that realm to include cell phones, especially ones that use GSM. At last month's DEF CON convention, security researcher Chris Paget demonstrated a home-brewed cell phone tower setup that was able to easily intercept calls from members of the audience.

This type of equipment, known as an IMSI catcher, has been available to law enforcement for years, but at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

God executes his judgment against evil and against evildoers. The righteous desire justice in the world. They live according to God's word. They want to see his salvation come to all. Evil is opposition to God. It must therefore be defeated. When God judges sinners, his people are vindicated. Glory to God for his righteous judgment!
Psalm 1. The psalm serves as an introduction to the book. It emphasis the joy, pleasure, success, and divine approval of the righteous, functioning as a recommendation to everyone of the way of the righteous. It presents two ways, that of the righteous and of the wicked, showing the end of each one and how each end is tied to the choice that one makes. The end is determined and carried out by God. We are either righteous or wicked, in God's eyes. No other option exists. Choosing the good way means rejecting association with, and influence of, sinners, besides constantly concentrating on God's law. The figure of the tree suggest both stability and security, as well as the permanent connection to the source of spiritual nutrition. In the end, the psalm calls to mind God's action, which reveals the good way through the law, offers satisfaction to man through it, judges without encountering resistance, and guarantees the success of the righteous.
To be blessed/happy, we must choose the way of the righteous, remove ourselves from the influence of sinners, concentrate upon God's word, connect to the source of blessing, and recognize that God invites us to the pleasure of his fellowship and grants to all the proper reward.
This is a partial translation of the new series on the first book of Psalms, begun today on the "Deus Conosco" devotional site.
SEEK: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you" Mt 6.33 HCSB.
"He'd never harm a flea." We hear that phrase said about certain people. But certainly such a person would not be a servant of God.
Grace takes care of sin, breaks its power, releases from its condemnation. But some take a lax approach to sin because of grace. After all, God is going to forgive, regardless — so they think. Such an approach comes close to the attitude that Paul anticipates when he writes about grace.

When I was about nine, my dad gave each of his children an old Mason jar to hold our weekly allowance. The clear jar, placed on top of a kitchen cabinet, allowed us to watch our money grow.
Cash was scarce in our home. Dad could only afford to give us fifty cents a week, and we had to earn it.
My sisters and brother generally spent all their money on candy. I tried to save my cash for bigger items. The total in the jar slowly accumulated to two dollars, and then three. I never recall having more than five singles in that jar at a time.
Finances grew tougher for my parents. The allowances stopped. My dad asked to borrow two dollars from me on a particularly tight week. He promised to return it after payday, a promise he kept.
The next week he borrowed money to make it to payday again. I agreed, but noticed the concerned strain on my parents' faces. My friends had more possessions than us. Were we poor?
Dad continued with the pattern of borrowing and returning the dollar bills, but my attitude about it gradually changed. If I had used my allowance to buy candy, it wouldn't have been there when he needed it.
My parents' goal to teach us about saving far exceeded their expectation as I learned a far more valuable lesson.
I learned how to give. I watched my parents give financially to others, far beyond their means. Dad borrowed money for family members when they requested help, never disclosing that a bank loan provided the funds. We didn't have many material blessings, but I believe they gave us something of greater worth – the gift of generosity, the language of love.

For 50th birthday, Barbie gets new international wardrobe
By ARIANNA DAVIS, McClatchy Newspapers
MEXICO CITY -- In her 50 years, Barbie has grown from a mere childhood toy to an international cultural icon.
Barbie's birthday was marked by a series of exhibits all over the world sponsored by her manufacturer, Mattel, that featured the evolution of the doll, born Barbara Millicent Roberts.
In Mexico, the exhibit highlighted a cultural progression. Ten Latino designers presented outfits designed specifically for a doll that had once symbolized a light-skinned, fair-haired ideal of beauty.
"People don't realize that, culturally, Barbie has been more than just a doll," said Juan Carlos Frank, who said he's been a Barbie collector since 1978. "When Barbie changed to Barbie Malibu in 1977, she had darker skin, and for the first time, children with darker skin could actually relate to their dolls; before then, they only knew of the fair-skinned Barbie, and she was what all the little girls wanted to be."
Frank said that rather than focus on Barbie's 50th birthday, Mexicans should note that Latina designers had been invited to join the ranks of designers such as Ralph Lauren and Christian Dior, who've also designed for Barbie.
"The fact that Latina designers were selected to design for this iconic doll's birthday is monumental," Frank said. "In the past, the designers that have designed for Barbie have only been more mainstream designers."
Frank was one of the many collectors that Mattel called upon to lend dolls to its large exhibit in Mexico City, which featured the original Barbie, Career Girl Barbie, Astronaut Barbie, Black Barbie and Hispanic Barbie, who made her debut in 1983.
Roberto Isaias, the director general of Mattel Mexico, said that months of work and planning went into the exhibit. He said he hopes that the people of Mexico will appreciate the event as more than just the celebration of a doll.
"Tonight, this isn't just something for this Barbie doll, but it's something for us," he said at the Barbie exhibit's opening at the Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City in early March.
"We should be proud of our designers and what this doll has come to signify for young Latinas," Isaias said. "And if you ever doubted the influence of Barbie and if she was important, tonight we can see just how important she is."
Among the designers chosen to create outfits for the doll were the famed pair Sofia Casares and Alejandra Albarran, creative directors of the brand Alessa Casati.
"Mattel selected designers that are established and have made an impact on fashion in Mexico," said Casares, who along with Albarran has dressed the likes of Eva Longoria and Liv Tyler. "To us, Barbie is an icon of every woman's childhood and femininity, so it was nothing but fun designing for the doll. I felt like a little girl all over again."
Casares and Albarran, whose clothing can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue in Mexico, chose to design intricately patterned pale pink dresses for Barbie.
Dalia Pascal, a designer born in Uruguay who gained fame in Mexico for her jewelry and accessories, designed a long dress with ethnic jewelry for the showcase.
"The truth is that the experience of creating an outfit for Barbie was something other people may think is trivial, but for me it was wonderful," she said. "I felt so honored to be selected and I'm very proud of the work that I've done for the doll."
It was not until the 1970s, Frank said, that Mattel began to realize the importance of children recognizing their roots through their toys.
"So they started to focus on creating dolls so that black and Latina and Chinese and whatever race of girls all over the world could identify with their own race and who they are at a young age," Frank said.
Frank said that Mattel selected from designers who have been featured in department store collections all the way up to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
"These aren't just any designers, but Latino designers, so we should be proud," Frank said. "They are the designers and fashion icons of our people and of our generation."

The 100 Best Albums of 2015, Part 4: 40-21
#40: Helen – The Original Faces
Liz Harris takes a break from her day job as the screamingly quiet poet of the interior monologue in Grouper and puts together an actual band instead. True to form, though, Helen makes music that is blurred, lo-fi, and straight out of the cassette tape dream pop of 1992.
#39: Beach House – Depression Cherry
Depression Cherry brought the Chillest Band on Earth into new places in 2015: distorted, heavier places that took the smooth beds of organs and synthesizers and made them darker, dirtier, even somewhat menacing. It was a sidestep from their usual way of doing things, and it solidly affirmed their position as one of the most consistently great bands working today.
#38: Blanck Mass – Dumb Flesh
For Dumb Flesh Benjamin Power, primarily of English drone masters Fuck Buttons, signed to Sacred Bones and produced a collection of noisy, mysterious industrial rock. Like Nine Inch Nails, if you strip away the pretension at being a "rock star".
#37: The Internet – Ego Death
Sydney Bennett – producer Syd Tha Kid of OFWGKTA – was for a long time the secret weapon in her L.A. skate-rap collective. While the goofball MCs (and Frank Ocean) stole the show, she carved out her own corner of off-kilter neo-soul work. While the early music of The Internet was immature, self-obsessed adolescence, Ego Death marks her group out as one of the contemporary soul bands to watch. Cutting, chilling, and eminently listenable.
#36: Bilal – In Another Life
Bilal Oliver came running out of the gate in 2001 and had his legs cut out from under him. After a decade of struggle, he began his career again. That career has described an arc that leads up to his massive presence on Kendrick Lamar's album, and his subsequent success all throughout 2015. On his own album, he finds a groove that is lightly funky, deeply soulful, and symbolic of his personal triumphs.
#35: Van Hunt – The Fun Rises, The Fun Sets
Another triumph from another man whose career has been a study in adversity, singer and multi-instrumentalist Van Hunt showed everyone why he's still in it, and the fundamental injustice in the fact that relatively few people still know it.
#34: Lightning Bolt – Fantasy Empire
The Rhode Island noise band celebrated their twentieth year of carving out pure sonics by releasing arguably the best album of their entire career, and the only one to have a featured spot in a Rock Band game. What a time to be alive.
#33: Blur – The Magic Whip
After the last Blur album, the last Gorillaz album, and that odd foray with the disappointingly mediocre The Good, The Bad, and The Queen, it could be said that Damon Albarn had at long last run out of gas. Then The Magic Whip arrived to show that the fundamental concept behind this was utterly wrong. The record recaptures the magic of the The Great Escape or Parklife more or less intact, mixing a variety of eclectic rock influences into that strange beast known as Britpop.
#32: The Dodos – Individ
The wintry companion to their earlier, sunnier work, Individ found the kitchen-sink twee group deepening the grooves and adding a sharper chill to their sound. It's still sugary with the sunnier side of the 1960s, but there's an odd swing and crunch to it now that betrays the darker side of that decade.
#31: Tame Impala – Currents
Kevin Parker has high and being driven around L.A. at twilight when he heard the Bee Gees come on. Inspiration struck, and he steered his neo-psych Tame Impala into a more Seventies direction. Currents amalgamates disco, soul, hip hop, and that old time psychedelic into a thick, bassy stew of modernity.
#30: Miley Cyrus – Miley Cyrus And Her Dead Petz
Miley Cyrus grew up in public, the daughter of an annoying one-hit-wonder country singer and the face of Disney's star-making television system. Like many such fresh-faced young girls, as she grew closer to the age of majority her brand grew tired, and a new crop of young Disney hopefuls crowded behind her. Unlike the others, whose grasp on relevance was mired in innumerable shallow pop albums, Miley Cyrus has tried to exaggerate her own blossoming embrace of drugs and sexuality. While the results have been on and off thus far, Dead Petz stands alone as a monument to the messiness of being young, rich, and in your early twenties. Backed by the best parts of the Flaming Lips, she goes balls-out into an exploration of pop, psychedelic rock, noise, and sheer ego.
#29: Ryan Adams – 1989
The question on a lot of music site surveys this year is: 1989 – Taylor Swift or Ryan Adams? The answer is, unequivocally, Ryan Adams. The ability to turn a Max Martin number like "Shake It Off" and play it off like it's "I'm On Fire" is, alone, worth the price of admission.
#28: Baio – The Names
Chris Baio – bassist for indie superstars Vampire Weekend – turned out to be one of the rare people that can step out from the shadow of their ultra-famous day band and still hold their own. The Names is a pop album that manages to be memorable, fun, and throbbing.
#27: Chelsea Wolfe – Abyss
There's frigid gothic atmosphere and then there's Chelsea Wolfe.
#26: Tobias Jesso, Jr – Goon
Before Goon, Tobias Jesso, Jr. was another hopeful songwriter adrift in a vast L.A. scene of hopeful songwriters. Following personal and family trouble he left his dream of writing songs for Adele and went back home to Vancouver, where a collection of very cool people (members of the Black Keys, the New Pornographers, and Haim) helped to produce Goon. Now he's a critical darling writing songs with Adele. That's Hollywood, baby.
#25: The Decemberists – What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World
The King Is Dead was a foray into what the Oregon band called "American folk" – code for Neil Young and R.E.M. It was, admittedly, pretty great, but it sidestepped the fact that they had largely disappeared up the ass of their own fey English style on The Hazards Of Love. What A Terrible World resolves this, dialing back the self-indulgence to return to a streamlined version of what made them great in the past. This is the Decemberists of "O Valencia" and "Odalisque", and it's a welcome return to form.
#24: Death Grips – The Powers That B
Niggas On The Moon, the first disc of the two-sided The Powers That B, had already been released for free. The band promised a second side, Jenny Death, which became the subject of an internet meme – "Jenny Death When". Given the band's infamy as mercurial noise terrorists – more performance art than actual band – it was a legitimate question whether Jenny Death would ever actually exist. The Niggas On The Moon side was greeted mainly with confusion, after all; it was much more experimental and ambiently bizarre than anything the already experimental and bizarre group had released. When Jenny Death dropped it caused a frenzy, and as an album it serves to sum up the band's career: it had elements of each of their previous releases, from the wilful indulgence of The Money Store to the crushing grind of Government Plates. "I like my iPod more than fucking" Ride declared on "Inanimate Sensation" and it's absolutely true. The Powers That B is raw and sexual, music made to aggressively penetrate the listener with deeply personal force.
#23: Oneohtrix Point Never – Garden Of Delete
Daniel Lopatin signed to Warp and celebrated with R Plus Seven, an album that embraced the almost-joke genre of vaporwave with abandon. Moving beyond that, Garden Of Delete widens his range to include industrial and metal influences cribbed from his tour with Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden. These influences are dealt with in a playfully chaotic way, being amalgamated in much the same way that a tornado amalgamates a whole town into itself. If R Plus Seven existed almost entirely on the surface (and, further, what that surface meant to the listener, in terms of generational discomfort or nostalgia) Garden Of Delete exists in the ever-deepening spirals it casts down with each new sliced-and-diced sample that is presented.
#22: Joanna Newsom – Divers
Divers is a summation of everything that makes Joanna Newsom great: the far-flung prog sensibilities, the pre-modern instrumentation, the odd melodic sense that is at once slightly reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and yet sharper, wittier, and – more to the point – altogether more unique than such a comparison can really transmit. Her lyrics are even denser than her music, requiring a lyric sheet, an English degree, and a love of the theatrical to tease out all the most rewarding moments. A modern classic from one of the most fully realized artists of the 21st Century.
#21: Beach House – Thank Your Lucky Stars
If Depression Cherry was the strangely distorted deviation, the jagged wrong notes in the orchestral dream, Thank Your Lucky Stars is the return to bliss, a comforting settling-back-in that expands on their breakthrough album Bloom with a deepening sense of instrumental placement. Everything on Thank Your Lucky Stars seems weighed and measured, crafted with a sense of how it would all play out together in a small room. It was a complete surprise; a month or so after Depression Cherry, the band casually mentioned that they had an entire new album already recorded and ready to go. As far as out-of-the-blue statements from bands, this was one of the best in recent memory.

Jerzy Cienciała, także Cieńciała (ur. 4 kwietnia 1834 w Mistrzowicach, zm. 5 kwietnia 1913 w Cieszynie) – polski rolnik, działacz narodowy i społeczny na Śląsku Cieszyńskim, poseł do Sejmu Krajowego w Opawie oraz austriackiej Rady Państwa w Wiedniu. Zwany Polskim Królem.

Życiorys
Urodził się w Mistrzowicach w rodzinie chłopskiej. Był uczniem gimnazjum ewangelickiego w Cieszynie. W 1900 r. ożenił się z Marianną Górniak, filantropką i przedsiębiorczynią, którą finansowała jego działalność polityczno-społeczną. Zmarł w Cieszynie w 1913, został pochowany w Mistrzowicach.

W latach 1861-1873 pełnił funkcję wójta rodzimych Mistrzowic. Był inicjatorem, założycielem oraz wieloletnim prezesem Towarzystwa Rolniczego dla Księstwa Cieszyńskiego w latach 1870-1912.

Deer antlers are made of true bone that is fed by the covering of velvet.
Antlers are made of true bone that is fed by blood which is carried in the outer velvet covering. Velvet antlers are hot to the touch, with brushy hair and a waxy feeling coating.
Deer need both protein and minerals to grow their antlers. This is in contrast to horned animals whose horns are made of keratin (like fingernails), who do not shed, and who need only protein to grow their horns optimally. Appreciate too that whitetails must grow a new set of antlers every year, while animals who have horns only need to add gradually to their existing horns.
This buck's antlers have quite a bit of growing to do as you can tell by the clublike tips.
A buck in velvet is sensitive and extremely protective of his antlers. These bucks will not fight or spar with their antlers when still in velvet, and if provoked they will rise to strike with their just as deadly hooves instead. Watching a buck in velvet slipping through the woods, you will see him delicately turn to avoid brushing the branches with his antlers.
scratch to his itchy, velvet antlers.
A buck that is in hard horn knows it, and it makes him cocky. If a buck in hard horn sees a more dominant buck who has already shed his antlers, or has broken his antlers or who is still in velvet, the "fully armed" buck can take advantage and play the bully.
The whitetail's antlers are not just for defense. The antlers are used for two other important purposes, both related to reproduction. One purpose is to advertise to females their good health, mature age and fitness as a mate. The other purpose is to use them as a grappling tool to engage in a test of status and breeding fitness against other bucks.
Male rank is not usually determined by all out fighting. The bucks mainly spar to see who is the stronger contender, but they can also spar in a friendly way, for practice, even with a much smaller buck, or a young one; and if the large buck's rack is too large, he might offer the young buck just one of his antlers to lock onto. In the typical sparring match the bucks lock their antlers, twist their necks and push in circles, with each deer trying to throw the other off balance. This will show both bucks who is the fittest. A head-on death match can sometimes occur between two steamed up, equally matched opponents. Obviously though, if that was the usual way, the damage that they did to each other would not allow for much breeding because the bucks would be dead, dying or severely injured, and the winner of a match as much as the looser can go off to a slow death from his wounds. As it is, bucks suffer many injuries in the normal, "gentler" sparring contests of a breeding season, and that comes in addition to the other severe stresses they endure.
The buck has a cloth over his eyes because he was sedated, and--just like covering a horse's eyes during a fire will calm it and allow you to lead it to safety--blocking a deer's vision, either this way, or by darkening its surroundings, will similarly help in calming it. In the dark the prey animal's anxiety and flight responses are lessened dramatically. This means less stress and fewer injuries. A deer in a panic can easily kill the person handling him, and can easily kill himself.
After rubbing off their velvet, over one day or a few days, bucks start to rub and play fight with trees and brush. A buck can sometimes hang from a tree by his antlers if they get locked in the branches, but the boisterous buck in the end does manage to wriggle loose. You can easily spot the buck rubs as saplings with the bark rubbed off. If you see a sapling scraped to a height of eight or ten feet, don't assume that it was made by a giant deer...the long scar comes about by the buck bending the tree to the ground as he continues to rub. It is less common to see a deer rub on a thick, unbending tree. It is now that the rutting bucks also begin to make their scrapes.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) | Andy Murray got off to a winning start Monday at the Dubai Tennis Championships, a tournament missing many top players who are either boycotting or injured.
Andy Roddick, who won at Memphis on Sunday, withdrew to protest the Emirates' decision not to grant Israeli player Shahar Peer a visa to compete in last week's women's event. Israeli Andy Ram was granted a visa and is scheduled to play doubles this week.
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, the top two players in the world, pulled out with injuries, and Nikolay Davydenko and Fernando Verdasco aren't playing, either.
Murray advanced when Sergiy Stakhovsky retired while trailing 6-7 (3), 6-3, 5-3. Both players were bothered by ankle injuries, but Stakhovsky could not finish the match. He called it quits with the fourth-ranked Murray leading 30-0 in the ninth game.
Qualifier Marco Chiudenelli of Switzerland also advanced, beating seventh-seeded Ivo Karlovic of Croatia 7-6 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (7). Fourth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain defeated Ivan Ljubicic of Croatia 3-6, 6-2, 6-1, and fifth-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia rallied to beat Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia 2-6, 7-6, 6-4.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence...
Mark Alexander · Dec. 5, 2003
Based on The Federalist's assessment of open-source information combined with excellent leads from high-level military and intelligence analysts, we have vigorously defended our nation's military assault on Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime. It can no longer be credibly argued but that these are major fronts in the conduct of our war against Jihadistan (that borderless nation of Islamic extremists with global reach, inhabited by al-Qa'ida and other Islamists who are targeting the U.S.). It has also been our considered position that Saddam's WMD programs and his alliance with terrorist organizations was a major threat to U.S. national security – and will remain so until the products of his biological and nuclear programs are discovered and destroyed.
Of course, Operation Iraqi Freedom has its detractors. Most notable are those Democrats, such as Ted Kennedy and the ever-opportunistic "Braying Herd of Jackasses" seeking the Demo-nomination for president, who have openly called President George Bush a "liar" for his assertions justifying military intervention.
Their erroneous accusations notwithstanding, there is substantial new evidence emerging from truckloads of documents seized in the days following the fall of the Saddamite regime that the Butcher of Baghdad did, indeed, have direct links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'ida network (links only the most nescient of observers would deny).
Translations of highly detailed Iraqi intelligence reports reveal, among many connections, that senior al-Qa'ida leader Abu Musaab Zarqawi met with Iraqi Intelligence Service officials on numerous occasions just prior to Saddam's ouster; that Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's closest adviser, met several times with Iraqi Intelligence Service Deputy Director Faruq Hijazi prior to September 11, 2001; and that al-Qa'ida terrorists with Ansar al-Islam in Northern Iraq operated with impunity under Saddam's orders. There is also specific evidence that high-level Iraqis traveled to Sudan in the mid-1990s to teach al-Qa'ida operatives how to make sophisticated vehicle bombs similar to those al-Qa'ida used against targets in Saudi Arabia and two U.S. embassies in Africa. This information utterly refutes a June United Nations terrorism-committee report which concluded, at that time, there were no links between Saddam and al-Qa'ida.
The new findings confirm an assertion about the Saddam-al-Qa'ida link by CIA Director George Tenet as far back as October, 2002, when he informed the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, "We have solid reporting of senior-level contacts between Iraq and al-Qa'ida going back a decade. … We have credible reporting that al-Qa'ida leaders sought contacts in Iraq who could help them acquire WMD capabilities."
Of course, the big question remains, where are Saddam's WMD stores, particularly his nuclear components and his biological toxins – including large quantities of weapons-grade anthrax? Also in October of 2002, The Federalist reported that it would be unlikely that Allied Forces would discover Saddam's WMD stores in Iraq – that the UN Security Council's foot-dragging provided a large window for Saddam to export his biological and nuclear WMD. At that time, we wrote, "There is a substantial body of intelligence supporting our position that Iraq shipped some or all of its biological and nuclear WMD stores to Syria and Lebanon's heavily fortified Bekaa Valley."
It is our fervent hope that those weapons are still in that region and that we can keep the warfront on Jihadi turf rather than witness its devastation on our soil once again.
Regarding the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, and the threat posed by their survival, it's highly improbable, despite speculation to the contrary, that they still exercise any appreciable command and control of ongoing assaults against Allied targets. Such leadership would occasionally require sticking one's head out of whatever hole it is in – and would thus allow us to lop it off. Still, it's important to the emerging governments of Iraq and Afghanistan that both these murderous psychopaths be captured and/or killed. To that end, special units are conducting 24/7 hunt-and-kill operations in Iraq and along the Afghan-Pakistani border.
"We will win because our cause is just. We will win because we will stay on the offensive. We will win because you're part of the finest military ever assembled. And we will prevail because the Iraqis want their freedom." –President George W. Bush
President Bush's Thanksgiving Day visit with our troops in Baghdad has, naturally, resulted in criticism from his Leftist opponents.
"He doesn't understand what it takes to defend this country, that you have to have high moral purpose," protests Howard Dean. "He doesn't understand that you [had] better keep troop morale high rather than just flying over for Thanksgiving. … Mr. President, if you'll pardon me, I'll teach you a little about defense." (This from a man who took a "bad back" deferment to avoid military service during the Vietnam war – then headed straight for the ski slopes of Aspen … a man who cut his national-security teeth on the mean streets of Montpelier.)
Jamal Simmons, spokesman for Wesley Clark, says, "The trip highlights how insecure Iraq is and shows how we need to get our allies in to get the American face off the occupation." Sen. John Kerry complained, "When Thanksgiving is over, I hope our president will take the time to correct his failed policy in Iraq that has placed our soldiers in a shooting gallery." (And just how did Kerry vote on this "failed policy"?)
Memo to Howard, John and Wes: There is an upcoming presidential election in France – and still time for you to make the residency requirements!
Former Clinton regime spokesman Joe Lockhart griped, "This is a president who has been unwilling to provide his presence to the families who have suffered but thinks nothing of flying to Baghdad to use the troops there as a prop." However, Sen. Ms. Hillary Rodham-Clinton-Rodham praised the trip – as she was also in Baghdad dining in the same room as military personnel. "I thought it was terrific," said Ms. Clinton.
Of course, there were a few differences in the tenor and tone of their visits, most notably, Commander-in-Chief Bush humbly joined enlisted personnel serving troops their meals, while Ms. Clinton and her entourage ushered themselves to the front of a long serving line for their meal.
National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, who traveled with the President to Baghdad, got it right: "The President was concerned about one thing and one thing only: He wanted to spend time with the troops on Thanksgiving and he wanted to do it with front-line troops."
The success of our military operations in Iraq, not to mention President Bush's surprise visit to Baghdad, is good news for the campaign against Jihadistan, but bad news for Howard Dean's presidential campaign, which has been built around the "anti-war" theme and depends on failure in Iraq and a retreat in the war against Jihadistan.
For those who would like to see George Bush defeated in '04 – most notably al-Qa'ida terrorists around the world, and their sleeper cells in U.S. urban centers – they have an ally in Howard Dean. Indeed, they will likely work hard to support Dean's candidacy by doing some murderous deeds prior to the '04 elections, thereby undermining U.S. support for the President's policy in Iraq. If that ugliness spills over onto our shores again, it may also give Dean the economic downturn his campaign desires.
On cross-examination…
"Bush's gutsy Thanksgiving engagement in the Iraqi sands sent a strategic message for all the world to hear: The United States is going to see this one through, and my presence here today is proof. … The President's lead-from-the-front visit was clearly a lot more than a photo op. True, it was symbolic – but some symbols, like the American flag, have powerful, hopeful, enduring meanings." –Peter Brookes

Our Favorite Bastropian Zachary Levi Stars in American Underdog
By Dani Dudek December 29, 2021 January 7, 2022
Did you know that Zachary Levi lives just outside of Austin in Bastrop, Texas? It's true! You can learn more about that here. The Bastropian can currently be seen on the big screen in the film American Underdog.
American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner, who went from a stock boy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback.
As I said in my latest edition of Spilling the Sweet Tea, the film is super heart warming… and you gotta love a good sports movie! Seriously, sports flicks are the best. In fact, we once published a list of the top 10 sports movies of all time. Check it out!
But back to the THIS sports movie, American Underdog. The film focuses on Warner's life before he made it in the NFL – a life I knew very little about. Levi does a wonderful job illustrating the struggles and truly making you root for the underdog.
The film also stars Anna Paquin as Warner's wife Brenda, as well as Texans Bruce McGill and Dennis Quaid. It has an audience score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Gamalost (auch Gammalost oder Gammelost), wörtlich übersetzt "alter Käse", ist ein norwegischer Sauermilch-Schimmelkäse mit spezifisch scharfem, vollmundigem Geschmack. Er kann längere Zeit ohne Kühlung aufbewahrt werden. Der Geschmack verändert sich im Laufe der Lagerzeit.

Er gilt als altes Kulturgut, dessen Geschichte bis in die Wikingerzeit zurückreicht. Historische Herstellungszentren ist die norwegische Provinz Vestland. Im mittleren und inneren Distrikt Sogn besteht mit die größte Produktiontradition. Hier war Almwirtschaft ein wichtiger Erwerbszweig in der Landwirtschaft. Seit 1991 gab es nur noch eine Meierei in Norwegen, die noch Gamalost produzierte, nämlich in Vik, inzwischen ist er auch von einer anderen Käserei erhältlich.

Der Käse wird aus Magersauermilchquark mit der Schimmelart Mucor mucedo gereift. Er sollte gelbbraune Farbe mit einem gelb-weißen Kern haben und entwickelt einen starken, unverwechselbaren Geschmack und eine feste Struktur. Er enthält dann weniger als 1 % Fett und etwa 50 % Protein.

Es wird angenommen, dass der Name "Gamalost" (wörtlich "alter Käse") mit der Herstellung auf Almen und der langen Reifezeit zusammenhängt. Er kann aber auch daher kommen, dass Gamalost einer der ältesten bekannten norwegischen Käse ist.

Es wird erforscht, ob Gamalost eine positive gesundheitliche Wirkung hat. Es spricht viel dafür, dass der Käse einen Wirkstoff enthält, der den Blutdruck senkt.

Herstellung
Früher wurde der Käse auf Alm oder Höfen produziert und benötigte eine lange Reifezeit von mehreren Monaten (zum Beispiel von Sommer bis Weihnachten), in der er Schimmel aus dem Lagerraum annahm. Sie betrug zwischen drei Monaten und einem Jahr.

Auf den Almen besorgten Milchmädchen die Käseherstellung. Die eigentliche Herstellung war ein arbeitsintensiver Prozess. Zuerst musste Sauermilch hergestellt werden. Es wurden große Kessel verwendet, oft mit 150 Liter Volumen. Es fanden sich vor allem zwei Varianten der Herstellung, die Hardanger- und die Sogne-Methode. Bei beiden wurde die Milch zunächst erwärmt, bis sich der Quark von der Molke trennte. Bei der Weiterbehandlung unterschieden sich die Verfahren etwas. Wenn der Käse gekocht und in Behältnisse gefüllt war, begann der Reifeprozess. Wenn der Käse fest war, wurde er auf ein Brett oder Bord gesetzt. Dieses wurde oft mit Birkenrinde, Farn oder Grashalmen bedeckt, um genügend Luft unter den Käse zu bekommen. Gewöhnlich wurde der Käse noch mit Tuch und Moos abgedeckt, damit er nicht zu schnell austrocknet. Nach ein paar Tagen begannen Schimmelpilze auf dem Käse zu wachsen.

Bei der heutigen industriellen Produktion wird die Kultur zugesetzt und der Gamalost reift innerhalb von nur 11 bis 13 Tagen (bis vier Wochen?).

Der Quark wurde in Leinen eingeschlagen, in Holzkisten und Stroh verpackt und dann unterm Bett gelagert.

Geschichte
Gamalost soll bereits zur Zeit der Wikinger bekannt gewesen sein. Er wird aus Sauermilch hergestellt und entwickelt während der Reifung einen Edelschimmel, der wiederholt in den Käse eingearbeitet wird, was ihm seinen speziellen strengen Geschmack verleiht. Sein Fettgehalt beträgt nur ein Prozent, seine Konsistenz ist fest und teilweise körnig.

In den frühen 1980er Jahren gab es nur wenige Norweger, die Gamalost aßen. Aber nachdem der Künstler Erik Bye sich 1983 in einer Fernsehsendung für Gamalost einsetzte, wurde der Käse wieder populär. Es wurde ein norwegischer Gamalost-Club gegründet, der mittlerweile rund 2000 Mitglieder hat. Der Journalist John Moberg, der für viele Jahre Gamalost-Präsident war, schrieb 1987 ein Buch über Gamalost. Im Jahr 1995 wurde in Vik das erste Gamalost-Fest abgehalten, ein Kulturfest, das bis heute existiert.

Gamalost wurde mit der Olavsrose ausgezeichnet, einem Gütezeichen von der Stiftung "Norsk Kulturarv" ("Norwegisches Kulturerbe").

Gamalost aus Vik

Um das Jahr 1900 versuchten viele kleinere Molkereien, in die Gamalost-Produktion einzusteigen. Die meisten scheiterten, aber eine der erfolgreichen war Brita Ligtvor aus Vik. Sie gewann 1909 mit ihrem Gamalost eine Silbermedaille auf einer landwirtschaftlichen Ausstellung in Bergen. Seit 2006 ist «Gamalost frå Vik» eine geschützte geographische Angabe nach norwegischem Recht; Käse mit dieser Bezeichnung muss in der Kommune Vik hergestellt worden sein und darf kein Salz oder andere Zusatzstoffe enthalten. Die Jahresproduktion liegt um 150 bis 200 Tonnen.
