Dog food





Iams- A few years ago. Didn't know than, but the reasons for my dogs shiny coat and firm poops were because there are chemicals put directly into the food for those exact purposes. Most people will look at a dogs coat, and stools to determine if a food is good. Iams people know this, and there's a chemical in the foods for that exact reason. I've heard people say, "I've been feeding my dog, so and so, then we switched to Iams and they firmed right up!"... There is a reason and it's NOT because Iams is a good food. It's one of the worst out there.

Eukanuba- I saw a commercial, saying that it contained a chemical called DHB, which enhances brain growth. It's true, but I'd rather my dog be all around healthy, than just have a big brain My girl was overweight, even though she was eating less than the required amounts.

Wellness- A higher end brand, when I became more educated about dog food. Although with it's factories changes to go maintstream, to grocery stores and enhance their profit, their formula has suffered.

So I switched to Eagle Pack, I'd prefer to feed Solid Gold or Innova, but neither are available to me. But Eagle Pack is a top of the line food as well.

I really like the fact that their customer service is great. Before switching I spoke to a nutrionist to decide what forumal to feed, and asked what the benefits of feeding canned to kibble were.

So now my guys are on a mixed diet, of canned, for the moisture, and raw protein and the kibble for their teeth.

Dave- Iams and Purina are horrible dog foods. Full of fillers and chemicals and a few months ago a few loads were recalled in my town because a dog died of salmonella poisoning. There are plenty more brands that aren't too expensive and you'll see a great change in your dogs health

The Best Homemade Dog Shampoo







Is your dog squeaky clean? Is your puppy fluffy? Does he smell fresh? If the answer to these questions is a resounding, "NO!" then you need to read on and find out what the world's best dog shampoo is.

What do you use on your dog? People shampoo? Baby shampoo? Do you go to the pet supply store and try to decide between the numerous dog shampoos available? There's dry skin shampoo, shampoo with highlights, shampoo for black dogs, white dogs, curly-haired dogs. It's enough to make you want to run screaming out of the store.

Been there, done that, and scared some children in the parking lot on my way out. Let me tell you about the dog shampoo I use, and have used since the very first time I was told about it, approximately 9 years ago.

It doesn't come from France and it doesn't cost $147.00 an ounce. You can't get it in a Hollywood Purse Puppy boutique. Matter of fact, you don't buy it at all. You make it yourself using just TWO ingredients found in any grocery store.

I was first told about this recipe when my golden retriever was just a puppy. A respected friend who is a responsible golden breeder, trainer and veterinary student swore by it so I gave it a shot.

I have NEVER purchased regular dog shampoo again. I was wary at first but as soon as I saw the suds, smelled that wonderful clean smell and realized how efficiently the shampoo rinsed off, I was a believer. Those of us who use this recipe like to say our dogs smell like a salad, and it's true!

It is simple, clean, easy to make and inexpensive. You can store it in an old shampoo bottle and just shake thoroughly before shampooing your dog.

You only need four things and about three minutes.

* A container such as a shampoo bottle or other squeeze bottle.
* CLEAR liquid antibacterial soap. Dial is recommended but I have also used generic.
* WHITE vinegar.

Mix equal parts vinegar and soap in your container. Shake well. You're done.

Use the shampoo the same way you would any dog shampoo. Be careful not to get it into your dog's eyes or ears. Start with a small amount because it lathers well and work the suds deep into the coat. Rinse well and dry. There is no wet dog smell and should be no residue on your dog's coat, due to the vinegar. The antibacterial aspect helps with parasites, dirt, and even minor skin abrasions and itchy or flaky skin.

What I love the most about this shampoo is the fresh smell stays for days! It's quite long lasting, your dog's coat will be soft and ultra-clean. And when someone comes in and says, "What is that good smell?" you can actually point to your dog.

Get going, now. I think your dog is running the bath.

Ideal Environment
Akbash Dogs need a great deal of space and they do best in rural settings. Large fenced yards are ideal for this breed. The Akbash Dog is comparatively inactive indoors, so he should spend a substantial amount of time outdoors. No matter how much exercise they are given, Akbash Dogs do not do well in an apartment-type setting. They are very clean and quiet indoors.

Many Akbash dogs will do well enough as outside-only dogs, but you may need a fairly large doghouse for the dog to be comfortable- this may mean constructing a custom doghouse for owners- but many have been known to be content with smaller houses such as the "Dogloo" brand. On the other hand, Akbash Dogs can be content with No doghousing at all, making do with materials at hand (digging a small cave under that favorite bush, finding that old broken down cart under the tree, Etc.) But for colder winter climates indoor housing or a well-built doghouse may be more beneficial.

The Patterned Afghan Hound

Afghan Hound



What I would like to accomplish with my crossbreeds is to breed a mountain type Afghan hound with a desert type coat, somewhat longer than the halfghans grow, with a naturally clean face and short saddle. The mountain type coat has been bred to be, in my opinion, non-functional. It's too heavy, over-heating the dog even in winter, grows too long, and some dogs no longer have a natural slick saddle and clean face, they must be clipped or stripped. Too much hair on the legs interferes with their movement. The coat does not shed out in the summer, making the dog too hot. I have always preferred an Afghan with a patterned coat, and when I saw how our halfghans turned out, I knew I could use them to produce a heavily patterned Afghan, within a few generations. Patterned Afghans are not usually bred for, they are not popular in the show ring, where coat is king. Breeding patterned Afghans together would take many generations to produce a dog with a coat similar to Mio.

The Afghan Hound Association of the UK wrote in one of the very first standards for the breed (no longer used): "The whole appearance of the dog should give the impression of strength and activity, combining speed with power. The object of the dog is to hunt its quarry over very rough and mountainous ground, a country of crags and ravines." That is what is in my mind when I look at my dogs; do they match this description? Could they hunt over rough country? Appropriate coat is a part of that. I am hoping that our current litter will take me farther down the road to what I want in an Afghan.

Affenpinscher

Affenpinscher



(Affen) The Affenpinscher is an undersized, friendly-faced relative of the terrier. The breed features a thick coat of fur that occurs in longer, beard-like tufts around the face and neck. Despite the Affenpinscher’s small stature, he is not a delicate dog. Affenpinschers boast square-shaped bodies and stout, strong limbs. They are a very well-boned breed with short, arched necks and deep chests. Affenpinschers have round, prominent eyes with a wise, owl-like expression and short, upturned noses. The breed’s tails are usually docked to about two-thirds of their natural size. Their ears are regularly cropped so that they are pointed and stand upright. The Affenpinscher’s coat is typically black or dark gray in color, but tan and red coats are also considered acceptable.

Its coat is shaggier over the head and shoulders forming a mane, with shorter coat over the back and hind quarters.

the Affenpinscher's nickname is monkey dog.
Character
The Affenpinscher’s personality is very similar to that of a typical terrier. Unlike most terriers, however, Affenpinschers are more inclined to socialize and get along with other pets. Affenpinschers are persistent, curious, and extremely playful by nature. They have a mischievous streak, but they are quick-witted and responsive to commands. Some Affenpinschers might be difficult to housebreak, but other than that, they are a breed that’s comparatively easy to train. Because of their animated personality and propensity to become bored, Affenpinschers like variety in their daily routines. While Affenpinschers are very loving pets and enjoy being with their families, they are not recommended for families with small children. This is because Affenpinschers frequently guard their food and are protective of their toys. Instinctually courageous and confident, Affenpinschers might foolishly challenge a large animal or get overly excited when threatened. They are a dog that does best with a family that will appreciate their humorous antics.

Affenpinschers can be 9-11 inches

One of those legitimate opportunities involves acquiring the private label resell rights to a particular product. After you have acquired the resell rights, it will then be reasonable to sell the product.

One of the many reasons why obtaining the resell rights and then selling a private label product is so nice is because you do not have to do most of the work. For instance, if you purchase the resell rights to an e-book or a software program, you will not have to create the e-book or software program. This is ideal because the development of these products not only takes time, but special talent or skill. Private label resell rights allow you to skip the hard work and concentrate on selling the product.

One of the most common questions asked, when it comes to private label resell rights, is why the original author or developer can’t sell their own work. The reality is that they can; however, most choose not to. For many professional writers or software designers, they make most of their money when they are creating a new product. This means that many like to focus solely on doing that. In turn, they will rely on someone else to get their products to potential customers.

Selling a product, which you have acquired the resell rights to, often sounds like a commission based program. These types of programs are available, but that is not how private label resell rights work. You will outright pay, the author, developer, or anyone else who is selling their product, for the rights to resell it. This means that any money you acquire from the sale, of an e-book or software program, you can keep.

To make money off of this opportunity, you will have to sell the product that you have. This is where the work will come in, but it is not what you may expect. Since you will be working as your own boss and you will be in control of the money that you want to make. Therefore, you can choose your own hours. Many resell right owners spend most of their time advertising or marketing their product to the general public. This marketing may take time, but you can also look for quick methods of selling. These methods may include, but are not limited to, standard websites with quick checkouts or online auction sites.

As you can easily see, there are a number of benefits to acquiring the resell rights to a private label product, such as an e-book, mass collection of articles, or a software program. Not only can you make money, but you can also decide how much or how little time you want to work. What could be better than that?

Makeup Tips For Older Women





Women, not only men, can age nicely like wine. Beauty is not just about looking pretty; it is about self-confidence and inner happiness. If you love and feel great about yourself, your beauty will surely shine through. In this article, you will learn about some essential makeup tips that will bring out more of your mature beauty.

1. Moisturizer - Cosmetics and makeup techniques will not do you any good unless you take good care of your skin. Make sure you drink plenty of water everyday and use water-based moisturizer. Also, apply a rich eye cream every night to smoothen the areas around your eyes and reduce crow's feet. The more moisturized your skin is, the more evenly it will hold makeup.

2. Foundation - Choose foundations or tinted moisturizers that are yellow-toned, as they tend to tone down redness or ruddy skin very well. Avoid thick foundation. Keep it sheer to avoid textures that will highlight your wrinkles instead of hiding them. If you have too many freckles or brown spots, you may use cream or gel bronzer to correct that and add some healthy glow to your skin. If you have some extra fullness around your chin, you can use foundation to conceal that problem by applying a thick line of foundation along your jaw line with a Q-tip, blurring the line with a sponge, then drawing attention upwards with a good cheek and eye makeup.

3. Eyes - As women age, their eyebrows tend to become more sparse. Use an eyebrow pencil to draw featherlike brows that follow your natural hair direction. The color of your brow pencil should match your natural brow and hair color. As for the eyeshadows, try to use softer and more neutral tones that will create a certain depth to your eyes instead of flattening out the areas as brighter colors do. If you have droopy eyelids, use eye contour shadow to give them a "lift" by applying contour shadow at the outer corners first, then blending it carefully as you move in towards the nose.

4. Lips - Avoid lipsticks that are too dry or too glossy, as they tend to bleed into the lines on your lips and make them look more obvious. Lip liner is a good makeup tool for older women because it helps stop color from bleeding into those fine lines. If your lips seem to have shrunken in size, color your lips completely and use lip liner to line the outside ridge.

How to Dry Hair Properly



How to Dry Hair with Towel?


Here's a secret that not many people know: rubbing your hair with a towel after a shower is a bad, bad idea. As you may already know, rubbing causes friction. Friction causes heat, because two surfaces are unduly opposing each other vertically. Add all these up, and you get frayed, damaged hair.

A quick and easy solution out of this particular conundrum is to pat instead of rub. Patting does the job, though it might appear that you're taking longer than is warranted. Nevertheless, if you actually compare the time needed to pat hair dry and rub hair dry, the two aren't far apart. Develop your own style of patting and your own rhythm: do it for your hair's sake.

Blow-Drying is Evil

Human hair was designed to shield your head from the sun, and to keep warmth in when it's necessary to do so. The human scalp was designed to sweat and produce oil to create equilibrium between the hair and scalp and the outer environment.

The scalp and hair however, were not designed to withstand a consistent stream of hot air more than 40 degrees Celsius. We are talking of course of the humble yet violent blow dryer. The blow dryer may have been useful to Hollywood stars, theater actors and hair stylists for the past few decades, but the fact remains that it damages the hair.

Consistent with this fact is the general appearance of actors' hairs when they are simply seen in public. If you need proof, look at Pamela Anderson's candid shots in public. If you look closely, most of her hair is already frayed. The whole head of hair lacks volume, and seems to be dried-out beyond repair; which is probably true.

How to Style Hair Safely?

As a rule of thumb, never apply hair gels and similar styling agents when your hair is completely dry. The reason for this rule is that the hair will lose its natural chemistry if there's no moisture to balance and buffer the chemicals in the styling agents. That's why hair stylists often shampoo their clients first before using chemicals: it preserves the pH level and helps reduce the over-all damage to the hair.

Tips on Safely Blow-Drying Hair

If you require blow-drying on a daily basis because of the nature of your occupation (or preoccupation), you can still use it but you have to change a few things.

Most folks prefer to blow-dry until their hair is crisp (like when they woke up that morning). This is a very bad practice. Instead of waiting for your hair to dry to this degree, stop when your hair is already just pleasantly damp. Simply allow your hair to dry naturally.

Makeup For Oily Skin - What You Need to Know



As all women who have oily skin know, you need to be careful to choose the best makeup for oily skin to ensure you don't get any sort of acne breakouts.


There are a many cosmetic lines out there, but most of them are not designed for women with oily skin. If you have greasy skin, you are far more likely to suffer from blemish breakouts - something you definitely avoid.

Now the thing to realize here is that blemishes are caused by too much oil in the skin. Oil produced inside the hair follicles, called sebum, normally moves along the hair to the outside of the skin pore. But sometimes, the movement of sebum oil is blogged by other dried sebum, dirt, etc. The blockage causes the sebum to mix with dead skin cells, bacteria, and dirt. The result is a blackhead.

Quite often, that blackhead will turn into a pimple because the area around the blackhead is more prone to infection, probably due to higher levels of bacteria present there. This infection of the P. acnes bacteria causes pimple outbreaks.

So, as you see, it's important that you try to reduce the level of oil in your skin. Wearing a makeup not friendly to oily skin will trap all the oil underneath and cause breakouts. Make up for oil-prone skin should NEVER be oil-based. Oil-based makeup will clog up your pores and lead to the development of blackheads - if you have a lot of natural oil in your skin. You should also seek out natural makeup for oily skin that contains only natural ingredients. This ensures that you don't have any sort of harsh chemicals irritating your skin and causing acne breakouts.

Consider getting a special makeup for acne prone skin to ensure you don't have those nasty pimple breakouts occurring.

History of cricket



The game of cricket has a known history spanning from the 16th century to the present day, with international matches played since 1844, although the official history of international Test cricket began in 1877. During this time, the game developed from its origins in England into a game which is now played professionally in most of the Commonwealth of Nations.


Origin

No one knows when or where cricket began but there is a body of evidence, much of it circumstantial, that strongly suggests the game was devised during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England that lies across Kent and Sussex. In medieval times, the Weald was populated by small farming and metal-working communities. It is generally believed that cricket survived as a children's game for many centuries before it was increasingly taken up by adults around the beginning of the 17th century [1].

It is quite likely that cricket was devised by children and survived for many generations as essentially a children’s game. Adult participation is unknown before the early 17th century. Possibly cricket was derived from bowls, assuming bowls is the older sport, by the intervention of a batsman trying to stop the ball from reaching its target by hitting it away. Playing on sheep-grazed land or in clearings, the original implements may have been a matted lump of sheep’s wool (or even a stone or a small lump of wood) as the ball; a stick or a crook or another farm tool as the bat; and a stool or a tree stump or a gate (e.g., a wicket gate) as the wicket [2].

Derivation of the name of "cricket"

A number of words are thought to be possible sources for the term "cricket". In the earliest known reference to the sport in 1598 (see below), it is called creckett. The name may have been derived from the Middle Dutch krick(-e), meaning a stick; or the Old English cricc or cryce meaning a crutch or staff [2]. Another possible source is the Middle Dutch word krickstoel, meaning a long low stool used for kneeling in church and which resembled the long low wicket with two stumps used in early cricket.

According to Heiner Gillmeister, a European language expert of Bonn University, "cricket" derives from the Middle Dutch met de (krik ket)sen (i.e., "with the stick chase"), which also suggests a Dutch connection in the game's origin. It is more likely that the terminology of cricket was based on words in use in south east England at the time and, given trade connections with the County of Flanders, especially in the 15th century when it belonged to the Duchy of Burgundy, many Middle Dutch[3] words found their way into southern English dialects [4].

First definite reference
John Derrick played creckett at The Royal Grammar School in Guildford

Despite many prior suggested references, the first definite reference to the game is found in a 1598 court case concerning dispute over a school's ownership of a plot of land. A 59-year old coroner, John Derrick, testified that he and his school friends had played creckett on the site fifty years earlier. The school was the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, and Mr Derrick's account proves beyond reasonable doubt that the game was being played in Surrey c.1550 [5].

The first reference to it being played as an adult sport was in 1611, when two men in Sussex were prosecuted for playing cricket on Sunday instead of going to church [6]. In the same year, a dictionary defines cricket as a boys' game and this suggests that adult participation was a recent development [5].

Early seventeenth century

A number of references occur up to the English Civil War and these indicate that cricket had become an adult game contested by parish teams, but there is no evidence of county strength teams at this time. Equally, there is little evidence of the rampant gambling that characterised the game throughout the 18th century. It is generally believed, therefore, that village cricket had developed by the middle of the 17th century but that county cricket had not and that investment in the game had not begun [1].

The Commonwealth

After the Civil War ended in 1648, the new Puritan government clamped down on "unlawful assemblies", in particular the more raucous sports such as football. Their laws also demanded a stricter observance of the Sabbath than there had been previously. As the Sabbath was the only free time available to the lower classes, cricket's popularity may have waned during the Commonwealth. Having said that, it did flourish in public fee-paying schools such as Winchester and St Paul's. There is no actual evidence that Oliver Cromwell's regime banned cricket specifically and there are references to it during the interregnum that suggest it was acceptable to the authorities providing it did not cause any "breach of the Sabbath" [1].

Gambling and press coverage

Cricket certainly thrived after the Restoration in 1660 and is believed to have first attracted gamblers making large bets at this time. In 1664, the "Cavalier" Parliament passed the Gaming Act 1664 which limited stakes to £100, although that was still a fortune at the time [1]. Cricket had certainly become a significant gambling sport by the end of the 17th century. There is a newspaper report of a "great match" played in Sussex in 1697 which was 11-a-side and played for high stakes of 50 guineas a side [6].

With freedom of the press having been granted in 1696, cricket for the first time could be reported in the newspapers . But it was a long time before the newspaper industry adapted sufficiently to provide frequent, let alone comprehensive, coverage of the game. During the first half of the 18th century, press reports tended to focus on the betting rather than on the play [1].

Patronage and players

Gambling introduced the first patrons because some of the gamblers decided to strengthen their bets by forming their own teams and it is believed the first "county teams" were formed in the aftermath of the Restoration in 1660. The first known game in which the teams use county names is in 1709 but there can be little doubt that these sort of fixtures were being arranged long before that. The match in 1697 was probably Sussex versus another county [1].

The most notable of the early patrons were a group of aristocrats and businessmen who were active from about 1725, which is the time that press coverage became more regular, perhaps as a result of the patrons' influence. These men included Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond, Sir William Gage, 7th Baronet, Alan Brodrick and Edward Stead. For the first time, the press mentions individual players like Thomas Waymark [5].

Cricket moves out of England

Cricket was introduced to North America via the English colonies in the 17th century [4], probably before it had even reached the north of England. In the 18th century it arrived in other parts of the globe. It was introduced to the West Indies by colonists [4] and to India by British East India Company mariners in the first half of the century [5]. It arrived in Australia almost as soon as colonization began in 1788 [5]. New Zealand and South Africa followed in the early years of the 19th century [5].

Development of the Laws
See also: Laws of Cricket

The basic rules of cricket such as bat and ball, the wicket, pitch dimensions, overs, how out, etc. have existed since time immemorial. In 1728, the Duke of Richmond and Alan Brodick drew up "Articles of Agreement" to determine the code of practice in a particular game and this became a common feature, especially around payment of stake money and distributing the winnings given the importance of gambling [6].

In 1744, the Laws of Cricket were codified for the first time and then amended in 1774, when innovations such as lbw, middle stump and maximum bat width were added. These laws stated that the principals shall choose from amongst the gentlemen present two umpires who shall absolutely decide all disputes. The codes were drawn up by the so-called "Star and Garter Club" whose members ultimately founded MCC at Lord's in 1787. MCC immediately became the custodian of the Laws and has made periodic revisions and recodifications subsequently [7].

Continued growth in England

The game continued to spread throughout England and, in 1751, Yorkshire is first mentioned as a venue [8]. The original form of bowling (i.e., rolling the ball along the ground as in bowls) was superseded sometime after 1760 when bowlers began to pitch the ball and study variations in line, length and pace [1]. Scorecards began to be kept on a regular basis from 1772 and since then an increasingly clear picture has emerged of the sport's development [9].

The first famous clubs were London and Dartford in the early 18th century. London played its matches on the famous Artillery Ground, which still exists. Others followed, particularly Slindon in Sussex which was backed by the Duke of Richmond and featured the star player Richard Newland. There were other prominent clubs at Maidenhead, Hornchurch, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Bromley, Addington, Hadlow and Chertsey.

But far and away the most famous of the early clubs was Hambledon in Hampshire. It started as a parish organisation that first achieved prominence in 1756. The club itself was founded in the 1760s and was well patronised to the extent that it was the focal point of the game for about thirty years until the formation of MCC and the opening of Lord's Cricket Ground in 1787. Hambledon produced several outstanding players including the master batsman John Small and the first great fast bowler Thomas Brett. Their most notable opponent was the Chertsey and Surrey bowler Edward "Lumpy" Stevens, who is believed to have been the main proponent of the flighted delivery.

It was in answer to the flighted, or pitched, delivery that the straight bat was introduced. The old "hockey stick" style of bat was only really effective against the ball being trundled or skimmed along the ground.

Cricket and crisis

Cricket faced its first real crisis during the 18th century when major matches virtually ceased during the Seven Years War. This was largely due to shortage of players and lack of investment. But the game survived and the "Hambledon Era" proper began in the mid-1760s.

Cricket faced another major crisis at the beginning of the 19th century when a cessation of major matches occurred during the culminating period of the Napoleonic Wars. Again, the causes were shortage of players and lack of investment. But, as in the 1760s, the game survived and a slow recovery began in 1815.

MCC was itself the centre of controversy in the Regency period, largely on account of the enmity between Lord Frederick Beauclerk and George Osbaldeston. In 1817, their intrigues and jealousies exploded into a match-fixing scandal with the top player William Lambert being banned from playing at Lord's Cricket Ground for life. Gambling scandals in cricket have been going on since the 17th century.

In the 1820s, cricket faced a major crisis of its own making as the campaign to allow roundarm bowling gathered pace.

Nineteenth century cricket

The game also underwent a fundamental change of organisation with the formation for the first time of county clubs. All the modern county clubs, starting with Sussex, were founded during the 19th century.

No sooner had the first county clubs established themselves than they faced what amounted to "player action" as William Clarke created the travelling All-England Eleven in 1846. Though a commercial venture, this team did much to popularise the game in districts which had never previously been visited by high-class cricketers. Other similar teams were created and this vogue lasted for about thirty years. But the counties and MCC prevailed.

The growth of cricket in the mid and late 19th century was assisted by the development of the railway network. For the first time, teams from a long distance apart could play one other without a prohibitively time-consuming journey. Spectators could travel longer distances to matches, increasing the size of crowds.

In 1864, another bowling revolution resulted in the legalisation of overarm and in the same year Wisden Cricketers' Almanack was first published. The "Great Cricketer", W G Grace, made his first-class debut in 1865. His feats did much to increase the game's popularity.

International cricket begins
The first Australian touring team (1878) pictured at Niagara Falls

The first ever international cricket game was between the USA and Canada in 1844. The match was played at the grounds of the St George's Cricket Club in New York.[10]

In 1859, a team of leading English professionals set off to North America on the first-ever overseas tour and, in 1862, the first English team toured Australia.

Between May and October 1868, a team of Australian Aborigines toured England in what was the first Australian cricket team to travel overseas.

In 1877, an England touring team in Australia played two matches against full Australian XIs that are now regarded as the inaugural Test matches. The following year, the Australians toured England for the first time and were a spectacular success. No Tests were played on that tour but more soon followed and, at The Oval in 1882, arguably the most famous match of all time gave rise to The Ashes. South Africa became the third Test nation in 1889.

National Championships

A major watershed occurred in 1890 when the official County Championship was constituted in England. This organisational initiative has been repeated in other countries. Australia established the Sheffield Shield in 1892-93. Other national competitions to be established were the Currie Cup in South Africa, the Plunkett Shield in New Zealand and the Ranji Trophy in India.

The period from 1890 to the outbreak of the First World War has become an object of nostalgia, ostensibly because the teams played cricket according to "the spirit of the game", but more realistically because it was a peacetime period that was shattered by the First World War. The era has been called The Golden Age of cricket and it featured numerous great names such as Grace, Wilfred Rhodes, C B Fry, K S Ranjitsinhji and Victor Trumper.

Balls per over

In 1889 the immemorial four ball over was replaced by a five ball over and then this was changed to the current six balls an over in 1900. Subsequently, some countries experimented with eight balls an over. In 1922, the number of balls per over was changed from six to eight in Australia only. In 1924 the eight ball over was extended to New Zealand and in 1937 to South Africa. In England, the eight ball over was adopted experimentally for the 1939 season; the intention was to continue the experiment in 1940, but first-class cricket was suspended for the Second World War and when it resumed, English cricket reverted to the six ball over. The 1947 Laws of Cricket allowed six or eight balls depending on the conditions of play. Since the 1979/80 Australian and New Zealand seasons, the six ball over has been used worldwide and the most recent version of the Laws in 2000 only permits six ball overs.

Twentieth century cricket

Growth of Test cricket


When the Imperial Cricket Conference (as it was originally called) was founded in 1909, only England, Australia and South Africa were members. India, West Indies and New Zealand became Test nations before the Second World War and Pakistan soon afterwards. The international game grew with several "affiliate nations" getting involved and, in the closing years of the 20th century, three of those became Test nations also: Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

Test cricket remained the sport's highest level of standard throughout the 20th century but it had its problems, notably in the infamous "Bodyline Series" of 1932-33 when Douglas Jardine's England used so-called "leg theory" to try and neutralise the run-scoring brilliance of Australia's Don Bradman.

Suspension of South Africa (1970-1991)

See also: International cricket in South Africa from 1971 to 1981

The greatest crisis to hit international cricket was brought about by apartheid, the South African policy of racial segregation. The situation began to crystallise after 1961 when South Africa left the Commonwealth of Nations and so, under the rules of the day, its cricket board had to leave the International Cricket Conference (ICC). Cricket's opposition to apartheid intensified in 1968 with the cancellation of England's tour to South Africa by the South African authorities, due to the inclusion of "coloured" cricketer Basil D'Oliveira in the England team. In 1970, the ICC members voted to suspend South Africa indefinitely from international cricket competition. Ironically, the South African team at that time was probably the strongest in the world.

Starved of top-level competition for its best players, the South African Cricket Board began funding so-called "rebel tours", offering large sums of money for international players to form teams and tour South Africa. The ICC's response was to blacklist any rebel players who agreed to tour South Africa, banning them from officially sanctioned international cricket. As players were poorly remunerated during the 1970s, several accepted the offer to tour South Africa, particularly players getting towards the end of their careers for whom a blacklisting would have little effect.

The rebel tours continued into the 1980s but then progress was made in South African politics and it became clear that apartheid was ending. South Africa, now a "Rainbow Nation" under Nelson Mandela, was welcomed back into international sport in 1991.

World Series Cricket

The money problems of top cricketers were also the root cause of another cricketing crisis that arose in 1977 when the Australian media magnate Kerry Packer fell out with the Australian Cricket Board over TV rights. Taking advantage of the low remuneration paid to players, Packer retaliated by signing several of the best players in the world to a privately run cricket league outside the structure of international cricket. World Series Cricket hired some of the banned South African players and allowed them to show off their skills in an international arena against other world-class players. The schism lasted only until 1979 and the "rebel" players were allowed back into established international cricket, though many found that their national teams had moved on without them. Long-term results of World Series Cricket have included the introduction of significantly higher player salaries and innovations such as coloured kit and night games.

Limited overs cricket

In the 1960s, English county teams began playing a version of cricket with games of only one innings each and a maximum number of overs per innings. Starting in 1963 as a knockout competition only, limited overs grew in popularity and in 1969 a national league was created which consequently caused a reduction in the number of matches in the County Championship.

Although many "traditional" cricket fans objected to the shorter form of the game, limited overs cricket did have the advantage of delivering a result to spectators within a single day; it did improve cricket's appeal to younger or busier people; and it did prove commercially successful.

The first limited overs international match took place at Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1971 as a time-filler after a Test match had been abandoned because of heavy rain on the opening days. It was tried simply as an experiment and to give the players some exercise, but turned out to be immensely popular. Limited overs internationals (LOIs or ODIs, after One-day Internationals) have since grown to become a massively popular form of the game, especially for busy people who want to be able to see a whole match. The International Cricket Council reacted to this development by organising the first Cricket World Cup in England in 1975, with all the Test playing nations taking part.

Limited overs cricket increased television ratings for cricket coverage. Televised coverage beginning with ODIs and quickly adopted for test coverage introduced in-depth statistics, graphical analysis, cameras in the stumps, shots from many angles, high speed photography and various technologies to enable television viewers to judge caught behind decisions, runouts, and lbw with far better information than the umpires.

In 1992, the use of Third Umpires adjudicating runouts with television replays was introduced in the test series between South Africa and India. The first player to be called out by television replay was Sachin Tendulkar. The use of third umpires has expanded steadily to other types of disputed umpiring calls since then.

21st century cricket

Cricket remains a major world sport in terms of participants, spectators and media interest.

The ICC has expanded its Development Program with the goal of producing more national teams capable of competing at Test level. Development efforts are focused on African and Asian nations; and on the United States. In 2004, the ICC Intercontinental Cup brought first-class cricket to 12 nations, mostly for the first time.

In June 2001, the ICC introduced a "Test Championship Table" and, in October 2002 a "One-day International Championship Table". Australia has consistently topped both these tables in the 2000s.

Cricket's newest innovation is Twenty20, essentially an evening entertainment. It has so far enjoyed enormous popularity and has attracted large attendances at matches as well as good TV audience ratings. The inaugural ICC Twenty20 World Cup tournament was held in 2007. The formation of Twenty20 leagues in India - the unofficial Indian Cricket League, which started in 2007, and the official Indian Premier League, starting in 2008 - raised much speculation in the cricketing press about their effect on the future of cricket

Portable Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed




Portable Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed
PC Games | Windows | Electronic Arts | 182 MB
Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed is the gateway to simulation race games the world over. Released in the later half of 1999, this game took everyone’s breath away for its high detail to car behaviour and control. The graphics in the game are nothing less than extra-ordinary. The game gives the player the choice to drive nearly every model of Porsche that the company has made. The incredibility of the game is the cars itself. The cars were studied down to its inricate deatils in terms of driving mechanics. Every Porsche behaves highly close to its real life counterpart. The premise of Porsche Unleashed remains largely the same: Driving and racing sports cars. However, the game only offers Porsches as racing vehicles.


The cars handled more realistically than any other Need For Speed games (including the first game in the series), and there is an in-depth catalogue of different Porsche parts that span throughout the years. Although the game inherited police chases from Hot Pursuit and high Stakes, the feature is relatively minor and is only seen in the Factory Driver mode (see Modes).
In terms of game construction, Porsche Unleashed is most often hailed as NFS’s best collaborated effort to bring forth one singular car brand and amplify and deepen the depth of knowledge both on history and motor functions. It features historical videos and many pictures of old photos of Porsche vehicles. The Evolution concept was a hit for many people, creating many new Porsche fans due to the game’s high level of academia and depth of Porsche cars.[citation needed] The Factory Driver was also a different kind of unlocking, except to do with performing and excelling in certain slaloms, speed races, deliveries, etc.
