PoPTV: SARA BAREILLES "BRAVE" [VIDEO]
PoPTV: BEATLESQUE
"Beatlesque" is one of my favorite music terms. I mean, who wouldn't want to listen to music that sounds like The Beatles, eh? Of course, the key is not slavish imitation but to use the influence of The Beatles as a springboard for (hopefully) fresh ideas. Here are some bands that certainly come to mind, when the term "Beatlesque" is brandished about…
Yes, I am aware that the song was written but by Bob Dylan, but The Byrds arranged Dylan's folkie "All I Really Wanna Do" deliberately to reflect their love of the Fab Four, especially on the bridge. And let's not even get into the hairdos…
A little cheatin' here cos Badfinger was actually signed to Apple Records and this single was also produced by George Harrison so the comparisons with their heroes were always fairly obvious. Great song still…and certainly a foundation for numerous power pop bands to come…
ELO was formed by Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood to re-create the Beatles psychedelic classics (like "I Am A Walrus") live. When Wood left, Lynne turned the band into a hit-making machine in the 70s. Beatles inspirations always began as a starting point (like here, the rhythm of the middle section to "A Day in a Life") to something entire new and different. In a league of its own.
To the current generation, the closest one is going to get to The Beatles reference would probably be through Oasis. Often derided as Beatles copyists, in fact, the Gallagher brothers succeeded in copping the imagery and look of The Beatles, rather than any creative impetus. That and Liam Gallagher's ludicrous attempts to imitate John Lennon's singing style. Best forgotten.
To be honest, it is almost impossible to escape the influence of The Beatles in modern music, whatever 'genre' you may choose to discuss. The legacy of The Beatles was not merely four chords, clever bridges and three-part harmonies but constant experimentation. When that stopped (listen to Let It Be, folks), then it was time for The Beatles to end. The above examples only highlight a very simplified perception of what the term "Beatlesque" means and usually referred to by people as Beatles music pre-Revolver, when The Beatles was much much more than that… but that's another story altogether.

A review from 2002.
ANDY PARTRIDGE Fuzzy Warbles Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 (APE)
As any card-carrying XTC fanatic will inform you, the Swindon-based band spent the better part of the 90s on strike from their record label Virgin, finally earning their freedom from a draconian contract sometime in 1998. The band then set up their own label – Idea – and proceeded to release two albums (Apple Venus & Wasp Star) in consecutive years!
So it certainly behooves the band to flood the market with as many XTC-related products as possible just to make up for lost time. So whilst ecstatic fans have been lapping up the demo and instrumental versions of the two latest albums and Virgin was kind enough to issue the Coat of Many Cupboards box set, the duo decided to begin releasing the voluminous demos (subject of legend and lore and much bootlegging) Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding amassed during that seven-year industrial action.
Alas, Moulding changed his mind and so we have volumes one and two of Fuzzy Warbles as Partridge begins an ambitious program to give his fans what they have been waiting for a long time.
And is it all worth the wait and the expense? Why most certainly! Here's why…
From Volume One, Partridge includes the delightful "Dame Fortune" (inextricably left off Apple Venus One), the bouncy "Don't Let Us Bug You" (written for Disney's animated James and the Giant Peach – now that would have been something!), a fiery demo of "That Wave" (off Nonsuch) that surpasses the recorded version for sheer intensity, the folky "Everything" (excluded from Oranges and Lemons), the whimsical "Goosey Goosey" (also for Nonsuch), the chirpy "Summer Hot As This" (circa 1984 – with erstwhile member Dave Gregory on guitar, a bonus!) and the offbeat "Wonder Annual" (another that failed to make the grade for Nonsuch).
Slide in Volume Two and one gets the unusually stripped down and straightforward "I Don't Want To Be Here" (recorded for a AIDS Charity disc), the domestic tirade "Young Marrieds" – 'Love and marriage go hand in hand like horse and horse shit' (meant for Wasp Star), the political "Obscene Procession" – a precursor of "President Kill" perhaps? (for Skylarking apparently), the jaunty "Ra Ra Rehearsal" & "Ra Ra For Red Rocking Horse" (not quite up to the rest of Psonic Psunspot, I wager), the McCartney-esque "Everything'll Be Alright" (also for Giant Peach), the frenetic "Chain of Command" (a blast from the past, 1979 in fact!), a gorgeously cod-psychedelic version of Nonsuch's "Then She Appeared," the lovely enigmatic "It's Snowing Angels" (circa 1990) and the vivid "Ship Trapped In the Ice," written to reflect XTC's Virgin dilemma.
And there you have it, not meant for the XTC newbie but once you picked up every single fantastic work released by this awesome band, then Fuzzy Warbles tend to become fairly indispensable items to have and to hold. For even if the discs did not contain precious XTC artifacts, the professional sound and overall amazing quality of the tracks here make Fuzzy Warbles important albums for any serious-minded music fan to explore and absorb. A+ (Vol. 1) & A (Vol. 2)
First thing one notices when listening to Natalie Hiong's new EP is the sound production — a marked improvement from her debut EP certainly. This time around, everything one hears seems more organic and more 'human', and it's much easier to get into the songs itself. Natalie has also improved in the vocal department and extended her range of singing styles as well. No longer relying on the cutesy little girl vibe of her debut EP, one senses that this is a chanteuse now coming into her own.
Treading on partially wet grounds for my first concert-going experience at the west side of Singapore, The Star Performing Arts Centre served as a blooming fresh outlet for events of sorts. Despite the grandeur of the new environs, it was let down somewhat by the spectacle of snaking (really year of the snake, isn't it?) queue lines at the ticketing counter .
Judging by the response at the Esplanade Concert Hall on Tuesday night, Ellie Goulding's first performance in Singapore was an undisputed success.
The full house consisted of a good mix of young tweens and older hipsters, who eagerly lapped up her every word and note. Even Goulding herself repeatedly remarked at her awe and surprise with the number of people at her first show here.
Starting off the night with songs mainly from her recently released sophomore album, Halcyon, such as "Figure 8" and "My Blood", Ellie Goulding blew us away from the very start with her beautiful voice. It was amazing to hear the entire audience sing along to the chorus of "Guns and Horses". However, it took some time for the sound engineer to get the mixing right, as it was difficult to hear her voice over her backing track in the beginning.
Also, it appeared that she took a while to adjust to the stage, only moving around to interact with the inviting audience after taking awhile to get used to the venue.
Goulding was not fazed for too long though, and one of the most memorable segments of the concert was when she slowed things down with tracks like "I Know You Care" (she admitted it was about her father) and "Joy". The audience was also in for a special treat as she sang a wonderful cover of Elton John's "Your Song".
Picking things back up with harder hitting songs "Only You" and "Salt Skin", Goulding gamely danced in her sheer dress through these songs, eliciting more cheers from her fans. During other parts of the show, she also treated the audience to performances of "Hanging On" and "I Need Your Love", which she wrote with Tinie Tempah and Calvin Harris respectively.
Most of all, it was impressive to see how she took her music to a whole new level with her live show. Her music sounded so much bigger, expansive, richer and complex live than on her studio albums. Moreover, her live energy was explosive, even reminiscent of Hayley Williams (of Paramore fame).
All in all, Eliie Goulding had great charm and clearly enjoyed performing, and her infectious energy in turn made it especially fun and enjoyable for all present. With "Lights" as her final euphoric song, she left everyone without a doubt that she could just very well be the reigning queen of the current crop of synth rock songstresses.

Thanks to Dan Gordon (Now/Live) for making this review possible.
This is so infectious it should be illegal! Seriously!! I first saw Dru Chen at an open mike years ago and was deeply impressed with his swagger and innate soulfulness BUT this new single from the Melbourne based modern soul singer-songwriter exceeds all expectations. I mean, "You Bring Out the Best in Me" should be blaring out of every single radio station in Singapore. Be warned though, once that groove hooks in, you're in trouble. Awesome.
I was interviewed by my former Budding Writer mentee Karen Gwee (now New Paper reporter) last night about the whole Ken Lim saga and she brought up an intriguing point about how the local indie scene may also have the commercial potential needed to save the local music industry from the verge of extinction, as Ken eloquently (and quite correctly) reckoned.
Case in point – this new single from The Summer State – which video has already garnered over 4,000 views in about a day! Rather removed from the emo-pop-punk style that I remembered the band playing in various auditions/gigs I have witnessed before. In fact, the song is a very radio-friendly pop ballad and targeted for mainstream audiences, with shiny production values to boot. Not my cup of tea, mind you, but I can understand the appeal the track will have for teenagers and tweens and this can only be a good thing for the local music scene. Check it out.
Charles J Tan is back with the first single from his upcoming album, Maybe Somewhere North. According to Tan, "the single is an upbeat tune that celebrates friendship, love and community". The song features Aarika Lee (of SIXX) on guest vocals. It's a toe tapper for sure, and perfect for those cool sunny mornings that hopefully we'll get more of in surprising Singapore.
The official music video will be released on 14 February 2013 to coincide with Valentine's Day. Charles will kick off a series of album launches starting with the first full band concert of the year at the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre at Mosaic Music Festival on 11 March 2013. Fans can expect to hear the new album performed live for the first time ever in Singapore. In the meantime, check out the lyric video below and if you like what you hear (and why wouldn't you?), pick it up at iTunes.
To be honest, I never expected to write this review. Up to the point that I received the email from Peipei (LIKES Communications), I had not even heard of Hong Kong/Canadian singer-songwriter Ellen Loo. And when Peipei invited me to catch Ellen's show at the Esplanade Recital Studio, I was feeling a bit mixed. After all, I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a fan of Mandarin pop but I thought – "nothing ventured, nothing gained" – and I am so glad that I took the plunge.
This is gonna be FUN. (Sorry)
The band that has captured the hearts and minds of people with its breakthrough #1 hits, "We Are Young" and "Some Nights", will be making their way to Singapore! Don't miss out on the experience to catch this pop phenomenon LIVE and be treated to a night of pure good FUN! (Sorry, again!)
Ticket Price: S$68 (Standard) (excluding S$3 SISTIC booking fee) Tickets will go on sale on January 15th at 9am via www.sistic.com.sg.

Every now and then, I get an email with a link that makes me sit up and take notice! Well, here's one good example - Photo Ops aka Terry Price, who plays every instrument on the upcoming LP, How To Say Goodbye, scheduled for a February 26th release. "It Makes Me Cry," shows Price's knack for an infectious hook coupled with poignant lyrics. Lovely epic heartfelt pop music!
The Sam Willows: Watch Out! This Band is Going Places FAST in 2013!
Attending The Sam Willows' EP Launch back in October 2012, little did I know how quickly this homegrown band was going to travel far and wide. My first impressions of them were positive. No actually, it was much more than that.
PoPTV: XTC
Probably one of the finest 'pop' bands to ever write and record music in the rock history. Well, that's my humble opinion anyways. The band built around the songwriting core of Andy Partridge (vocals, guitar) and Colin Moulding (bass, vocals) and ably supported by Terry Chambers (drums, 1977 – 1983), Barry Andrews (keyboards, 1977 – 1978) and Dave Gregory (1978 – 1998). XTC effectively dissolved in 2005. These ten songs below represent merely the tip of the iceberg of the truly amazing music produced by XTC and hopefully, you will be inspired to find out more…
(The best online XTC resource)
One of the best old school classic pop offerings from anyone in Singapore came from an unlikely source – bilingual singer-songwriter Tay Kexin. Kexin is probably better known in the local pub & club circuit as a wedding singer and somewhat specializing in jazz-pop standards but on this debut 3-song EP, Kexin demonstrates that she will be a force to be reckoned with in the pop market as well.
The first two tracks are Mandarin pop numbers – a little cliched in parts – but the melodic and harmonic goodness will just leave you with chills down spine so those technicalities will fade into irrelevance. Better yet is the sole English track – "Someday You'll Be" – which is delightfully crafted in 80s soul-pop stylings. Tastefully presented with acoustic guitar, electric piano and breezy vibes, Kexin's message of positivity rings true down to the sweet vocals (occasional shaky diction, notwithstanding) and backing harmonies. Definitely one of the better local pop songs of 2012.
A triple threat wonder (good looks, good voice and good songwriting!) to keep an eye on!

It was intriguing to reconcile the unassuming young woman with the wide smile and the shy "thank-yous" (whenever the raucous applause greeted her efforts) with the musical powerhouse that was unleashed at the Esplanade Theatre on the Saturday evening before Christmas 2012.

Engaging & Connecting with Rick Price
On 7 Dec, I found myself seated in the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory Concert Hall, waiting for an acoustic show to start. The setting was a lovely venue with great acoustics, and the stage held a Steinway piano, an acoustic guitar, a harmonica, a table with 2 bottles of mineral water, and a standing mic. After a short introduction, a man dressed in a shirt and jacket, wearing glasses and a hat walks onstage, and starts to play the guitar and sings. He moves effortlessly between guitar, piano and harmonica, and 20 songs later, he has me leaving the concert hall feeling like the world's a better place. Who is this man? It is Rick Price.
There is a nice balance of pop sounds and styles in Sarah Cheng-De Winne's new album. Previously categorized as a jazz-folk-pop singer, this single-minded lady (and her production team) has done a bang-up job in taking different strands of the pop milieu and incorporating the same into her own distinctive soulful pop brand.
American songstress Rachael Yamagata returns to Singapore for a fifth time, in support of her new EP Heavyweight. Concert promoters Greenhorn Productions recently announced that Yamagata will be performing on 2nd March 2013 at the Esplanade Concert Hall and that tickets at $48, $68, 88 and $98 (excluding Sistic charges) will be available from www.sistic.com soon. Stay tuned for details soon at the official Facebook event page. In the meantime, check out the title track of her new EP below.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - John L. Smith likes the change he has seen from Arkansas the last few weeks.
The Razorbacks coach has enjoyed the much-needed two straight wins, but more than that he has seen an emotional rebound from what could have been a season-crushing, four-game losing streak.
"Yeah, we've kind of got our swagger back a little bit and our confidence is good," Smith said. "Our energy has always been good...That's what has pulled us through all the tough times. They're well-trained. They know what to do."
The wins have served to remind the Razorbacks (3-4, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) that they entered the season as a preseason top 10 team, ripe with championship expectations.
The title hopes are gone, but Arkansas still has its sights set on a fourth straight bowl game and will look for another strong performance on Saturday against Mississippi (4-3, 1-2) in Little Rock.
The team's free fall from the national rankings to SEC also-ran began on Sept. 8 - also in Little Rock - when then-No. 8 Arkansas suffered a stunning overtime loss to Louisiana-Monroe. Quarterback Tyler Wilson missed the second half and overtime of that game with a concussion, one in which the Razorbacks led 28-7 midway through the third quarter before falling 34-31.
"Now I feel like we need to go back and redeem ourselves," Razorbacks defensive tackle Alfred Davis said. "Go back and defend the Rock like we have done in the past and just get our fans pumped about it, get ourselves pumped about it. Because that is our other home, and you always want to win in your own backyard."
The Rebels are simply after another win in their season of resurgence under first-year coach Hugh Freeze. They snapped a 16-game SEC losing streak their last time out, a 41-20 win over Auburn, and are two wins away from bowl eligibility for the first time since 2009.
Sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace passed for, ran for and caught a touchdown in that win, Ole Miss' first in the conference since Oct. 2, 2010. For a school that was a combined 6-18 the last two seasons, including 1-15 in the SEC under former coach Houston Nutt, the win was another reminder of how far it's come under Freeze in a short time.
The Rebels are fourth in the league in total offense, averaging 440.7 yards per game, and they've shown an opportunistic defense at times - including forcing six turnovers in a 30-27 loss to Texas A&M.
Arkansas is tied for last in the SEC in turnover margin at minus 10, though it didn't commit a turnover its last time out - a weather-shortened 49-7 win over Kentucky two weeks ago. Wilson threw for 372 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in the win, and Freeze expects to see more of the same from the Razorbacks, who led the league in total offense and points last season.
"You look at what Arkansas is averaging offensively and no one has really stopped them," Freeze said.
"They've hurt themselves at time. When Wilson is healthy and has played, they're very difficult to stop. We have to be very good at not allowing big plays. We have to be very stingy in the red zone. They're going to get their opportunities."
The Razorbacks have lost several key players on both sides of the ball to season-ending injuries, including linebackers Alonzo Highsmith and Tenarius Wright. However, they'll receive a boost on offense against Ole Miss when tight end Chris Gragg returns from a bone bruise he suffered in a loss to Rutgers on Sept. 22.
Arkansas hasn't missed a bowl game since 2008, former coach Bobby Petrino's first season. Petrino was fired in April after revelations he hired his mistress to a position in the athletic department, and initially lying about her presence during an April 1 motorcycle accident, and Smith was hired on an interim basis to keep the program together in the wake of the scandal.
The Razorbacks won the Cotton Bowl over Kansas State last season, and they played in the Sugar Bowl the season before that - combining to go 21-5 over the two-year span. They hoped to contend for the SEC championship entering this season, but they'll take a third straight win and a return to .500 at this point.
"It's very important because you don't want to get on a roll to something good and then have a hiccup, take a step back," Davis said. "I feel like we just need to keep moving forward, no steps back at all."
Ole Miss would love nothing more than to keep moving forward as well.
"I'm expecting them to play their best game," Wallace said. "Their backs are kind of against the wall and they're trying to become bowl eligible just like we are. It's going to be a shootout and we definitely have to play for 60 minutes."

A warning from Noam Chomsky on the threat of the elites
Added under Culture
Noam Chomsky's description of the dangers posed by U.S. elites' "Imperial Mentality" was recently given a boost in credibility by a surprising source"Bill Clinton. As America's economy, foreign policy and politics continue to unravel, it is clear that this mentality and the system it has created will produce an increasing number of victims in the years to come. Clinton startlingly testified to that effect on March 10 to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee . . .
. . . Clinton's testimony reminded me of one of my visits with Chomsky, back in 1988, when, after talking for an hour or so, he smiled and said he had to stop to get back to writing about the children of Haiti.
I was struck both by his concern for forgotten Haitians and because his comment so recalled my experience with him in 1970 as he spent a week researching U.S. war-making in Laos.

Al - Shabab Displaying Dead Bodies Of Hisbi Islam Fighters
2 comments:
It breaks my heart everyday when I either read about, hear about or think about the beautiful children (and adults) that have to suffer from this U.S. backed operation in Somalia. And even if it were not U.S. backed, it's just as sad and disgusting. I believe God has showed himself in many ways to us through Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, and many others. I hope God and his angels save those who suffer and prevent anymore suffering. I wish people would stop fighting each other and instead appreciate this beautiful world God has made for us to enjoy and to enjoy it together.

Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes Author, Dies at 78
Frank McCourt, the Irish-American schoolteacher turned author, has died at the age of 78. The writer of the bestsller Angela's Ashes died of metastatic melanoma.
McCourt won a Pulitzer for Angela's Ashes, which dealt with his rough childhood growing up in Limerick, Ireland. McCourt wrote of his alcoholic father who left his family, forcing his mother Angela to beg on the streets.
The book's vivid depiction of childhood poverty made Angela's Ashes the rare book that was a hit with readers and critics alike. The book won the Pulitzer and sold more than four million copies worldwide. The memoir became such a worldwide hit that the city of Limerick runs Angela's Ashes tours, which highlight the sites of the city mentioned in the book.
McCourt followed up Angela's Ashes with two more books 'Tis and Teacher Man. Prior to the release of Angela's Ashes, McCourt spent decades teaching in the New York city school system.
McCourt had recently struggled with melanoma as well as meningitis. He first became unwell during a cruise in the Pacific and spent time in a hospital in Tahiti.

In the one instant of silence between the curtain and the applause I remember feeling alive. I remember feeling like my heart had been ripped out of my chest, bounced down a basketball court, and thrown through the hoop for the winning shot. Then we (the audience) erupted in cheers. I was elated, proud, and profoundly humbled.
I already wrote about The Seventeen Magazine Project over on my blog, from the rib?, but I wanted to write about Jamie Keiles, the girl who ran the project, here, because I personally find her to be incredibly inspirational (and, although she does not mention it often or prominently, she also happens to be a Jewess.)

Right before the big game she jumped into her purple outfit, had her hair french braided by our fabulous babysitter and finished off the look with a dollop of lip gloss. She nodded in the mirror and smiled. Totally and completely satisfied with her "soccer look." You might be asking yourself what any of this actually has to do with soccer right about now.
One of the country's foremost experts on the lives of American girls is Rachel Simmons, a 35-year-old alumna of Vassar College and Oxford University who also attended the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School through high school.
Yesterday, JTA published, "Where the Blogosphere Meets the Boardroom," an op-ed co-authored by Jordan Namerow, a long-time writer for Jewesses with Attitude and my predecessor at the Jewish Women's Archive. This op-ed encourages the Federation to engage with the younger members of the Jewish community, many of whom are unaware of the Federation system. It gives suggestions for ways to bring young Jews into the fold, arguing, "Without including younger voices, Federation risks its own survival."
If the doll industry is any measure of today's commodified standard of beauty, assimilation is out and multi-ethnic is in. Forty-eight years have passed since Barbie came to represent the ultimate American fantasy: a leggy, blonde-haired, teeny-waisted preeminence of elegance, with a flamingo pink sports car and Ken by her side. Despite Mattel's attempts to recreate and diversify Barbie's identity to reflect social trends and more eclectic "girl" activities, Barbie has had trouble keeping up with the times, even if she does wear a tallit.
Earlier this month the United Jewish Communities General Assembly (G.A.) met in Los Angeles. The G.A. offers an opportunity for Jewish professionals and lay-leaders to gather en masse to discuss a variety of important issues facing the Jewish community. This year (as in years past), the G.A. had a problem: young Jews were not given the floor. In fact, their voices were virtually absent from discussions altogether. In fact, the number of sessions in which young Jewish activists under the age of 35 appeared on panels could be counted on one hand.
This week, I attended a conference sponsored by the National Foundation for Jewish Culture on young adults, culture, and Jewish engagement. The conference was based on their study Cultural Events and Jewish Identities on the social and cultural fusion of young unaffiliated Jews ages 25-35 in New York City.
As a young engaged Jew who falls on the fringe of the young adults defined by the study (I'm only 23), I was intrigued to find out more about the report.

Lituya bay was special circumstances. The highest a tsunami can be in open ocean is 100-150 feet. Of course that height increases as the sea floor slopes up, but that's as big as it gets open ocean. Lituya bay was so high because it was a long narrow bay. Now you could get a massive tsunami (100+ ft) that channels straight into a bay like that and get destruction 1000+ ft up, but it would take very special circumstances to cause it. 2011-10-10 18:34:18

Using Traktor to control and manipulate video clips
There are already well-established ways of performing A/V scratching. Serato Scratch has had the ability to control video as well as audio for some time now. You can also do this in PCDJ Dex and Virtual DJ. The technique isn't new either. As far back as 10 years ago, Coldcut were already doing this with their own purpose-built software, VJamm.
It's always been a feature that's been lacking from Traktor though. It's something that's asked for time and time again on the Traktor forums, although NI probably have a very good reason for not including this as a standard feature, choosing instead to concentrate purely on audio.
Here we're showing how to sync audio in Traktor with video playback in Resolume Avenue, allowing you to scratch, loop and hotcue-juggle video / audio clips simultaneously.
We're using Traktor and Resolume Avenue here but any DJ software that can output a MIDI message based on track position, and any VJ software that can receive a message to control the playhead will work using the MIDI method described in the video. Note that the OSC method described in the video and the TR Bridge software provided for this will only work in Resolume Avenue.
Here's how to do it:
Note that Windows users need some way of sending and receiving internal MIDI messages between programs, eg., LoopBe1 or MIDI Yoke.
If you need to convert the MIDI to OSC, as described in the video, you can download the PC / Mac software to do so here: http://digitaldjtools.net/downloads/TR_Bridge.zip
Ms. Pinky
If you've already got a Traktor Scratch Pro setup and want something a little more reliable than the method shown above, it's well worth getting your hands on the Ms. Pinky time-coded vinyl and accompanying software. It comes at a very reasonable price and includes two standalone apps (one for audio and one for audio and video). You also get a VST plugin and a Max for Live patch. The included instructions are clear and thorough and setup is really easy, especially if you already use Traktor Scratch Pro. Just swap your NI timecode vinyl with your (shockingly pink!) Ms Pinky vinyl, enable your soundcard in the Ms Pinky settings and you're all set.
The only downside to Ms. Pinky is if you're used to having BPM detection and a Sync button. The Ms. Pinky software is relatively basic and although it'll handle hotcues and loops, there's little in the way of effects and you'll have to beat match the old-fashioned way. If you're already using Traktor with a vinyl setup though, the chances are you're from the old school of DJing and not having a sync button won't present too much of a problem anyway.
Here are the results after about an hour of messing about with Ms Pinky:
And some more…

Page 9 of 13
A few Tuesdays after her first Tuesday, Jack asked Claudia to dinner again. This time she said yes. She quickly realized it wouldn't be just the two of them. Others had gathered. They were headed to a diner. It was already a ritual. It was just past twilight and the sky was stained a deep cool blue, like something you'd press against your forehead during fever. It felt good to be with other human beings on a sidewalk.Everyone ordered hearty meals, tuna melts and bacon burgers, with elaborate drinks: milkshakes and egg creams, as if compensating for the other drinks they wouldn't have. Claudia was surprised by the way Jack ate his scrambled eggs in evenly portioned bites, with precise dabs of ketchup. His hipster frame and outfits had suggested he would eat messily, or not at all.
It seemed like a regular set. The large woman who was always impeccably dressed—today, a belt and striped skirt—sat across from Claudia. Her name was Glory. She looked middle-aged but she had the life and energy of a younger woman. People had been aged by their drinking, Claudia noticed—their faces slack and weathered—but their demeanors were spry and hopeful. It seemed the world wanted things from Glory, and she was excited about the prospect of providing them. She worked as a personal assistant for a powerful producer and her vibrating cell phone worried her purse like a series of tiny earthquakes. The Budweiser guy was Paul, and he seemed to have a thing for Louisa, the paper umbrella woman—a yoga teacher and struggling actress—and it seemed to Claudia that everyone should have a thing for Louisa, she was so lithe and graceful. She seemed happy living in her own skin. It made you want to live there too.
They were all nice to Claudia, laughing at her anecdotes in a way that felt honest and unforced, or nodding seriously when this was called for. But she could tell they'd heard all her stories before: The One About the Girl Who Passes Out in the Park, The One About the Attic Full of Bottles. Claudia told them that she'd vomited on a boyfriend's dog before passing out once, which was true, and that she sometimes woke up in the middle of the night and drank, which wasn't. Not only was it literally untrue, it also seemed spiritually untrue. It ran against the psychic gist of her drinking, which aimed to court the sweet relief of unconsciousness rather than interrupt it.
Jack and Claudia stood outside the diner after dinner, fumbling for cigarettes. They were the only smokers in the bunch.
"I guess this crowd has already heard every sob story under the sun," Claudia said.
"Yeah," he said. "That used to get me down too."
"Now it helps me feel free," he said. "I'm not here to impress anyone."
Claudia nodded. She dropped her cigarette on the pavement and crushed it with her toe, though she'd only taken a drag. All of a sudden, she wanted out—of this talk, this night, all of it.
"Getting up in the middle of the night, just to drink?" he said. "That one I hadn't heard before."
"It was a lie," she said.
"Yeah," he said, nodding. "I've done that too."

About this encyclopediaElders
Wade W Nobles
In traditional African societies, as well as embedded within the value systems in contemporary African communities worldwide, to live to an old age was and is considered a blessing. Eldership is, however, more than mere aging. The difference is important to understand. Being an elder is fundamentally different from just being old. In regard to African religion, the purpose and practice of eldership is found in the spiritual meaning of eldership. In fact, in traditional life, elders were the undisputed repositories of both the spiritual essence and practice of the community. The Bantu-Congo, for instance, believed that human development was a process of spiritual evolution and cultural maturation. Accordingly, elders being those persons with decades of experiential learning and spiritual refinement were more spiritually evolved and culturally mature. This entry looks at the role of elders in the Yoruba tradition and more generally. In the Yoruba tradition, the distinction between ...

Patrick Wilson, Wife Welcome New Baby Boy
First Published: August 10, 2009 4:49 PM EDT Credit: Getty Images
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Patrick Wilson and wife Dagmara Dominczyk Wilson have a new bundle of joy to call their own.
The dynamic acting duo welcomed their second son, Kassian McCarell Wilson, on Sunday.
"Mother and baby are both happy and healthy," a source close to the couple told People.
Kassian is the second child for the couple, who also has a 3-year-old son, Kalin Patrick.
College sweethearts, Patrick — who starred in the sci fi comic book film "Watchmen" earlier this year --and Dagmara met while studying drama at Carnegie Mellon University. The couple wed in 2005 and had their first son a year later.
They confirmed the pregnancy to People in March.

ARLINGTON -- The Salvation Army decided Friday to cancel its fundraising activities near Interlochen Christmas Lights to end an ongoing conflict with some homeowners along the route.
Like last weekend, volunteers had planned to set up Friday and Saturday night in front of the Army National Guard office at Randol Mill Road and Oakwood Lane and hand out cups of free hot chocolate to motorists on their way to the popular neighborhood Christmas lights tour.But Friday afternoon, the Salvation Army bowed out."We want any controversy that has been there to go away," Salvation Army Maj. Ward Matthews said. "We are not in the business of alienating folks who are good at helping us with meet the needs of the folks we help."If any more folks feel like we're after Interlochen or they are after us, we want it to go away."The Interlochen lights display draws an estimated 40,000 visitors each season,Last year, the Salvation Army set up a red kettle station at a dental office parking lot at Bowen Road and Westwood Drive close to the neighborhood's entrance. As traffic slowed, volunteers handed out free hot chocolate and solicited contributions.The group collected $5,000 over six days.When the organization announced plans to do the same thing this year, several residents vehemently objected. Some said they thought the volunteeres made traffic congestion worse. Others said that soliciting donations made it seem that visitors were expected to pay to see the lights, which residents say has been their gift to the community for more than 35 years.The red kettle was moved about six-tenths of a mile away. There, only $387 was collected in three days.The group hopes to raise at least $400,000 annually to support its homeless shelter and soup kitchen and other programs, such as rental and utilities assistance."There is a gap between last year and this year. We are saying our prayers and we are working hard," Matthews said. "We will trust the folks of North Texas to help us."Interlochen's lights will be on each night from 7 to 11 p.m. through Christmas Day.Susan Schrock, 817-709-7578Twitter: @susanschrockHave more to add?

Nobody gets the crowds rocking harder than the Motor City Madman, and his appearance at the NRA Convention on Sunday was no exception. This experience, however, ended a little different than the others. Sure there was talk of guns and politics and the spirit of the hunt, but that soon gave way to a more somber moment. The moment when the Nuge revealed one of his darkest secrets.
"I've got to admit something right here. I feel guilty. You know it's hard to find ammo. I'm sorry … I've got it all.
"I'm really sorry about that. I've got this hobby."
More on Ted Nugent's work with wounded veterans at the NRA Convention ...
St. Louis, Missouri - Ted Nugent, NRA Board Member, Second Amendment activist, New York Times bestselling author, Motor City Madman, acclaimed musician and member of the Bowhunters Hall of Fame - or "just a guitarist" as he says it - helped send off this year's NRA Annual Meeting in St. Louis in style on Sunday afternoon.
In a theater packed with cheering fans, Nugent rocked out and spoke to the crowd about how great and important it is to exercise our right to bear arms.

ELBRIDGE -- For the second consecutive night the Big-Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series race wasn't decided until the final lap. Matt Sheppard held off a late-race charge Monday night by Danny Johnson to collect the victory at Rolling Wheels Raceway Park in the "Stars and Stripes 100."
A huge crowd gathered at the Elbridge, N.Y., speedway for the fifth race of the 2011 Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block tour, and were treated to a fantastic fireworks display in the sky in addition to some fantastic fireworks on the track.
Billy Decker and Bobby Varin led the field of 30 Big-Block Modifieds to the green flag. Decker jumped into the early lead over Varin and quickly opened up a comfortable lead.
As Decker began to increase his lead, Sheppard began an impressive charge towards the front of the field. Sheppard, after starting eighth, had moved up to fourth place by lap 4. On lap 7 Sheppard used the outside to pass All-Star Weekend winner Tim Fuller for third place, and just two laps later used the inside to pass Varin for second.
Decker's torrid pace at the front of the field had him in lapped traffic by lap-13. Using the outside to negotiate traffic, Decker was able to keep a consistent distance between himself and Sheppard.
By lap 20, Decker and Sheppard had distanced themselves from the rest of the field, but a fantastic battle was taking place for second between Fuller, defending Super DIRT Week champion Stewart Friesen and Jimmy Phelps. Friesen used lapped traffic to help him pass Phelps and Fuller and take command of third place.
The caution flag flew for the first time on lap 48 as Tim McCreadie came to a stop on the backstretch with tire problems. McCreadie would rejoin the field without losing a lap.
Billy Decker chose to restart from the inside which allowed Sheppard to use the outside to take the lead as the cars ran down the backstretch on the lap-55 restart, giving Sheppard his first lead of the night.
Sheppard continued to rim-ride around 'The Fast Track" and began opening up a large lead on the rest of the field. It appeared that Sheppard would be able to cruise to an easy victory, but veteran Danny Johnson had other ideas.
The veteran drive out of Rochester started running around the inside of the 5/8th-mile track and immediately started his march towards the front. Johnson made quick work of Jimmy Phelps and Fuller to grab the fourth spot on lap 70 when third-place running Stewart Friesen suffered mechanical problems and came to a stop.
Now in third, Johnson passed Billy Decker on the ensuing restart and a lap-88 caution for Dale Planck allowed Johnson to restart on the back bumper of the Xtreme Lubricants sponsored Matt Sheppard car.
Sheppard and Johnson thrilled the large crowd with a classic battle that saw both drivers getting everything plausible out of their racecars. Lap-after-lap Sheppard held off the advances of Johnson, and as the leaders took the white-flag Johnson was right on Sheppard's back bumper.
As the leaders negotiated turns 3 and 4, Johnson swept down to the inside of Sheppard, pulling up alongside of the leader, but Sheppard took the checkered flag first, winning by just .074 seconds, or a half a car length.
"I didn't realize how close Danny (Johnson) was to me until coming off of (turn) four on the last lap," explained Sheppard. "I saw he was up alongside of me, but I knew that since we were on the cushion we'd be able to beat him to the checkered."
Decker held on to finish third, Alan Johnson and McCreadie rounded out the top 5.
The win was Sheppard's first victory on the 2011 Super DIRTcar Series trail. Sheppard now trails Billy Decker by just 30-points on the season standings.
In the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series event, it was David Marcuccilli taking advantage of a late-race restart to pass Josh VanBrocklin to take home his first career Rolling Wheels Raceway victory.
The DIRTcar Stock Car Challenge was also in competition, with Pete Stefanski holding off late-race challenges by Rocky Warner and P.J. Peters to pick up the win.

Previous Verse |
Luke 4:13 |
Next Verse |
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Note 8 at Lu 4:13: The way this verse is worded leaves the impression that Satan tempted Jesus with all that he had. We mistakenly give the devil too much credit. He is very limited. According to 1Jo 2:16, there are only three areas in which Satan tempts us. Jesus' three temptations correspond exactly with these three areas: (1) The lust of the flesh = temptation to satisfy hunger by turning stone into bread, (2) the lust of the eyes = temptation to acquire all the glory of the kingdoms of this world by worshiping Satan, and (3) the pride of life = temptation to "show off" His power by having the angels come to His rescue.
When resisting the devil, just keep standing (Eph 6:13). The devil has only so much that he can tempt you with, and then he must leave (1Co 10:13, Ga 6:9, and Jas 4:7).

"Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things." ~Pierce Harris, Atlanta Journal
On my grandma's old pecan tree, the one growing between the pine tree that held our treehouse and the catterpillar tree in the front yard, there were old gold wind chimes. During the fall months the tree would cover the yard in pecans. The rest of the year it's usefulness was just to hold those chimes. But it was an important job. Because when the wind would blow, the chimes would play a perfect song, there on the front lawn.
And there would be my Gran, standing on the front porch, wearing her old straw hat and a dress that she had sewn herself. Pretending not to smoke a cigarette and humming a little tune, like Clair de Lune. One that she just finished playing on the organ that sat in the piano room. A song with no words, only music, fit pefectly for humming.
Mine was a childhood every kid should have been so lucky to have, one that included a Gran's house. Less than 50 steps from my house to Gran's. A place that was full of MASH episodes and old slides of trips to Alaska. Paul Harvey on the radio, betadine and bandaids in the bathroom cabinet for skinned knees, and Kit-kats in the fridge. A place that smelled of fresh baked cookies lots of afternoons and of popcorn on Sunday nights. A place where my grandma became mine and my brother's best friend. Where we would depart from to check cows, go to the bank or to pick peas. A place that was safe and happy and full of love and music.
Memory is a funny thing. Ask me about something I did or read last week and I'll struggle to remember any details. But even though it's been years since I've heard my grandma's voice, or sat with her and my brother to watch the antics of Hawkeye Pierce, or heard the melody of the old gold wind chimes, I'll never forget the music.

Summer is upon us, which means...skin and a lot of it!
Fabulous skin really does start from the inside out. Make sure you are eating a balanced diet, and of course keep your skin hydrated with plenty of water—at least 8-8 oz. glasses per day. You know you are well hydrated if you urine is clear…Keep caffeine to a minimum and make sure to stay away from smoke.
Keeping your skin hydrated from the outside is just as important, you really should be using a good moisturizer. Amlactin® is a great one, especially if you have severely dry skin. It has an advanced formula of alpha hydroxy and rich emollients that work together to gently exfoliate your skin, and then intensely hydrate it. It retains the skin's natural moisture and draws water to the skin, so it looks and feels soft and smooth.
You can grab it at the drugstore…super convenient and it's really powerful stuff. The best time to use it is right after a bath or shower…while the skin is still damp—and speaking of shower…you want to keep water lukewarm---harsh temps can dehydrate the skin as well.
Now, exercise is very important because the circulation gets the blood pumping…and the perspiration and good circulation is key.
On the health front, you should always see your dermatologist for check ups, especially this time of year. Make sure to follow their skin care recommendations…they may have a special regimen that they want you to follow based on your skincare needs.

Interpol expects Italy fixing arrests in Singapore
- Published: 29 Nov 2012 at 14.47
- Online news: Sports
Interpol expects imminent arrests in Singapore linked to Italy's mushrooming 'Calcioscommesse' football match-fixing scandal, a report said.
Juventus coach Antonio Conte watches training on the eve of the UEFA Champions League match against Chelsea on November 19, 2012. Conte is currently serving a four-month touchline ban over Italy's mushrooming 'Calcioscommesse' football match-fixing scandal. Interpol expects imminent arrests in Singapore linked to the scandal, a report said.
The global police body's chief Ronald Noble said more links to the Asian city-state had been revealed following this week's arrest in Italy of Serbian footballer Almir Gegic, after more than a year on the run.

Nantz-Kellogg crew in Jacksonville
CBS Sports assigned its number one broadcast team, Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg, to Jacksonville, Fla., to handle the first- and second-round games of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Among the eight teams playing in Jacksonville is Wisconsin, which faces Wofford in the first round. If UW wins, it plays the winner of the Temple-Cornell game.
Incidentally, the Milwaukee games of the tournament will be called by Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel.

Not bad but I was hoping for Gus Johnson and Dan Bonner.
Good crew. What's our record when they broadcast??
Ya, I wish it was Gus Johnson. He is just plain fun to listen to in a close game. "What a game!"
Nance is buddies with Fred Couples and use to be a scratch golfer. Hes in Jacksonville so he can play Sawgrass. Not because this Regional is the hottest ticket.
Correction, Gus Johnson and Len Elmore. I think Bonner is with Kevin Harlan.
Call me a sucker.... but I still can't hear enough of Rafferty (or however it's spelled). "and the Wisconsin Badgers, Vern, open up in MAN-to-MAN!!"
I wish Gus could narrate my life.
Interesting article from the Spartanburg, SC newspaper. The Terriers are brimming with confidence with their matchup...
http://www.goupstate.com/article/20100314/NEWS/100319796/1112?Title=Wofford-gets-13th-seed-in-East-will-take-on-Wisconsin -
Flubber - That greatly contrasts with what the Wofford coach said when interviewed about his matchup with Bucky. He pretty much said, "Anyone but Bo Ryan and Wisconsin!"
Don't know which statements to believe, but just know that some of the Wofford players are from Minneapolis, and they have lots of friends back home who are Gopher fans. They saw UW lay an egg at Minny and are now telling their friends who play for Wofford that UW isn't very good (based mostly on that one bad performance in Minny).
Those Wofford players also played against Jordan Taylor and Jon Leuer in AAu games. Now, I don't know how much those Wofford players developed since those AAU days against Leuer and Taylor (I'm assuming they've developed into at least somewhat better players), but our guys both have developed freakishly since then. If they expect those two players to be the same as when they last played them, they are in for a rude awakening that could be good for Bucky.
Doesn't really matter I guess, since it all comes out in the wash after the tipoff, but that's some background on that.
As for the announcers, they're a pretty good draw for us UW fans. Nantz is top notch, and Kellogg is a former Big Ten player (OSU, I believe) so we won't get an anti-Big Ten bias from this announcing crew.

I have been a distributor for over 10 years for a network marketing company that has served not only to give me an extra income to support my family as a single mother, but also the opportunity to learn about marketing and sales. The requirements you propose seem to be unfair to a person like myself who wants to have a small home based business. Is there any other business that has to give out a list of others doing the business in the same area. Think about what that would do to your desire to want to do the business if you have to be responsible for setting up your competition. Do others, especially big business magnates have to advertise for its competition? This sounds like the idea of some who would like to damage those in direct sales rather than protect the consumer. Is network marketing cutting into the profits of big corparations. Is that what this is about really? For the little guy like myself who has the opportunity to do it on my own, this is outrageous. Tell me who else in sales has to do that? Do any other businesses, store fronts or others have to make legal claims disclosures as a prospective buyer walks in the door, whether the seller was found guilty or not? The reference list is the worst of the whole thing. It severely underminds those in the business who are not trying to dupe others and do not use the tactics you are suggesting by this proposed Business Opportunity rule. I sincerely hope you will look at this through the eyes of many small business owners and find a way to protect consumers from those who are really being fraudulant. Linda F. Williams

fixed blade knives in GA w/ CHL...
rightwingnut [Member]
FL CWP holer. Didn' t GA recently redo thier Carry permit making it good for OC or CC and also making it a permit to carry a knife, open or concealed, w/ a blade over 5".
Does this trump local laws (pre-emption) or can cities still make carrying a big bowie or whatever a crime if it is open or concealed?
I always carry at least one big fixed blade, albeit concealed.
foreman2000 [Team Member]
I open carry large fixed blades and folders all the time. I have never been stopped or had a cross word said to me about it.
Killjoy321 [Member]

same here, I usually open carry my 5 1/2 inch kabar around all the time
rightwingnut [Member]
when I say large, I mean 8-10" blade.
fcs2178 [Team Member]
OCGA 16-11-125.1 (Definitions)
(2) "Knife" means a cutting instrument designed for the purpose of offense and defense consisting of a
blade that is greater than five inches in length
which is fastened to a handle.
So technically if your blade meets these requirements it will require a GWL or a GWL from a state with reciprocity.

I carry a Cold Steel Rajah 2 Is that big enough for ya ?
I have also known to leave the house wearing my CS Natchez Bowie
rightwingnut [Member]
that is an interesting rig for you natchez. Sort of like a cavalry sabre belt and sling... Where did you get it/have it made? I see you have the laminate natchez. Can I buy the black leather sheath that came w/ the knife?
I conceal carry my natchez, but alas, I ground like 2" off it, making it into a scandi Saex shape. I carry it vertical to slightly canted, OWB either on or behind the hip. To increase concealment, I can securely elevate it higher up so the guard is above the waste line. Also, when I sit down, if the end of the sheath hits a chair or whatever, the whole thing can slide up not interfere w/ sitting. W/o the last 2" of blade, I can carry it w/ the guard at the waste band under a blazer. I am like 6'1"
POB is now 1/2"
Sort of a shame to do it, but it was only an SK5 version and I there was no better knife, either ready made or that could be reground that would be better. Wanted somehing w/ a broad heavy full flat grind blade w/ a good handle etc as an upgrade from lightweight stilettos. I recall James Keating saying that one benefit of a heavy knife is that it can be used to block trunchens, sticks etc, not to mention other heavy knives. Thought about buying a trail master maybe still too light. But hell, for $20 over the price of a TM I could just buy another nathez.
I can't get over how fantastic the hilt is. I might checker it though, but the shape and guard are great. I gotta send CS a fruit basket or something for bring so many knice knives to market, particuarly fighting knives.
Also, your natchez needs a vinegar patina. Jus put vasoline on the edge to protect it I guess. Where the vasoline was sorts of looks like a hammon line.
foreman2000 [Team Member]
I stole the pic from the site I did not opt for the fancy leather and gator or snakeskin as shown. I got plain cowhide leather it is comfortable to wear and if you have a jacket on it is a suprise whaen you pull it out
Those guys where very easy to deal with and if I get another large fixed blade I will buy again.
You can also buy just the harness and adapt it to many knives like KaBar, SOG and cold steel to name a few it even works with kydex.
rightwingnut [Member]
Oh, I see, that is a shoulder rig for carrying diagonal in back or in front. I did experiment w/ carrying it that way but it was just not concelable unless I stood completely still and completely erect. When I walked, the tip and the butt of the hilt would alternatively pop up. Technically it is concealed, whether or not it prints in FL, but I don't like unwanted attention. But you don't have to worry about that so much in GA.
I am not a fan of things hanging on my shoulders anyway and the knife is more accessible w/ both hands in more positions.
foreman2000 [Team Member]
I bought it to use while hog hunting it is quick and easy to draw and stays out of the way when in the bush...
rightwingnut [Member]
U use it maybe in case you need to stab a hog or as a field knife?
I feel like the tip may be just a little delicate for a field knife. But hell, how much does one really need to baton.
Let me know if you want to sell the original leather stud sheath.

Massacre in Omaha
I'm constrained to wonder why the media always reward these psychotic teenage boys by giving them the fame they covet; that is, by plastering their pathetic mugs all over television and on the front page of every major newspaper … worldwide, and reporting pop psychology about why and how they did their dastardly deeds? Isn't it clear to see, especially in this age of instant celebrity, why some loser kid would find this route to infamy irresistible?
He had said how much he loved his family and all his friends and how he was sorry he was a burden to everybody and his whole life he was a piece of shit and now he'll be famous. [Debroa Maruca-Kovac, the woman who gave this homeless teenager a place to stay and to whom he addressed his suicide note]
After all, you'd think that – given the record of these psychotic and vainglorious episodes since Columbine – we would have figured out by now that the best way to discourage them is by focusing our attention on the victims and limiting what we say about the shooter to: May God have mercy on your soul as you burn in hell!
Incidentally, as one who enjoyed a fair amount of popularity in high school, I remember well going out of my way to befriend kids who were generally regarded as nerds. And I rather suspect that if more "popular kids" today were disposed to do the same (instead of bullying and treating them like outcasts), many of these shootings would be avoided.
Nevertheless, my support for the revenge of the nerds extends only to those who attain enviable success – like the googleaires at Google and the billionaires at Microsoft. Because I have nothing but contempt for the ones who think that becoming mass murderers constitutes sweet revenge.
But, apropos contempt, I cannot muster enough for the arm-chair psychologists who always spew psychoanalytic gibberish to excuse these American psychos. Never mind the irony that, despite showing obvious signs of psychosis, social alienation and suicidal ideation, the most counseling these kids ever get usually comes only after they've murdered a bunch of innocent people.
Meanwhile, these same shrinks invariably heap scorn on the motivation of Muslim teenagers who become suicide bombers. But at least Muslim psychos are motivated by more than posthumous fame. After all, they martyr themselves for Holy Jihad; although, eternal rapture in the bosoms of 72 virgins must sweeten their sacrifice….

Ashes 2013 - Australia in England | ||
NOTTINGHAM, United Kingdom (AFP), 2013/07/13 13:10:56
Adam Gilchrist said Saturday comments attributed to him regarding Stuart Broad's controversial decision not to walk during the ongoing first Ashes Test were the work of a fake Twitter account.
"It has come to my attention that a fake Twitter account in my name has been making comments regarding the Stuart Broad catch in the first Test," said Australia great Gilchrist in a statement issued to AFP and other news organisations.
NOTTINGHAM, United Kingdom (AFP), 2013/07/14 08:30:15
Australia captain Michael Clarke said his side had it in them to complete one of the great Ashes comebacks after England ended the fourth day of the first Test poised for victory.
The tourists were 174 for six at Trent Bridge come Saturday's close, still needing a further 137 runs on Sunday's final day with just four wickets standing to go 1-0 up in this five-match series against Ashes-holders England.
Australia's newspapers are hoping debutant Ashton Agar can replicate his record-breaking first Test innings and guide his team to victory in the fluctuating first Ashes Test against England.
While the media Sunday highlighted yet more umpiring controversies that have dogged the series opener at Nottingham, commentators pointed to the 19-year-old rookie as Australia's unlikely saviour after his amazing debut knock of 98 batting at number 11.
Stuart Broad's much-debated decision not to walk during the first Investec Ashes Test has been supported by former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.
Ian Bell is not taking victory for granted on the final day of the first Test against Australia, despite completing what he called "my best Ashes innings".
Bangalore, 2013/07/14 08:30:05
Chasing a steep target of 311 to go 1-0 in the Ashes, Australia were staring down the barrel at 174/6 at stumps on Day 4.
Graeme Swann admitted he "wanted to kill" the Sri Lankan batsman Dilruwan Perera and accused him of cheating during England's warm-up win in Colombo.
Stuart Broad found support from unexpected quarters after his decision to stay put at the crease despite edging a Ashton Agar delivery to Michael Clarke at slip.

Tweet compilation for Day 3 of the first Ashes Test that took place at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
Sacked Australian coach Mickey Arthur has reportedly hired a legal firm to sue Cricket Australia after he was sacked as the Baggy Greens coach 16 days ahead of the first Ashes Test against England.
