Wines from Umbria are often considered “delightfully undervalued.” Right now, that sounds especially appealing! Grechetto is one of those wines from Umbria that is flying under the radar, but it shouldn't be. This week, we dig into this wonderful white wine from Italy's “Little Green Heart” - and the exciting part is that we found two very different styles of it, one more like an oaky Chardonnay, and one more like a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, so there's a version out there for any white wine lover on your list. They have been making wine in Umbria for thousands of years, and many believe that the name Grechetto harkens back to the Magna Graecia period in Italy when the Greeks spread their empire. And, like many Italian wines, Grechetto fell out of favor in the middle of the 20th century before it made its comeback in the 1970's thanks to the efforts and hardwork of local winemakers. Trust us, it's worth checking out.

San Benigno, quien vivió en la mitad del siglo III, dedicó toda su vida a servir a los demás cristianos perseguidos por los emperadores Maximiano y Diocleciano. Después de un tiempo decidió no esconderse más y predicó con fuerza su amor a Cristo y exhortó a los paganos a dejar la idolatría. Finalmente lo atrapan y lo decapitan, entrando así a la vida eterna.Con tu ayuda podremos continuar con este proyecto: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=GZMHJDMXG8L22&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabzPiBLoj2NefLbiwGBbXS1Ckn9xG8o9stwEGRXwQnsnoRllvac_CUJ_cU_aem_oPr5pU3Gmbo2qA3t6j-zkg

Full Text of ReadingsFourth Sunday of Advent Lectionary: 12The Saint of the day is Blessed Jacopone da TodiJacopone da Todi's Story Jacomo or James, was born a noble member of the Benedetti family in the northern Italian city of Todi. He became a successful lawyer and married a pious, generous lady named Vanna. His young wife took it upon herself to do penance for the worldly excesses of her husband. One day Vanna, at the insistence of Jacomo, attended a public tournament. She was sitting in the stands with the other noble ladies when the stands collapsed. Vanna was killed. Her shaken husband was even more disturbed when he realized that the penitential girdle she wore was for his sinfulness. On the spot, he vowed to radically change his life. Jacomo divided his possessions among the poor and entered the Secular Franciscan Order. Often dressed in penitential rags, he was mocked as a fool and called Jacopone, or “Crazy Jim,” by his former associates. The name became dear to him. After 10 years of such humiliation, Jacopone asked to be received into the Order of Friars Minor. Because of his reputation, his request was initially refused. He composed a beautiful poem on the vanities of the world, an act that eventually led to his admission into the Order in 1278. He continued to lead a life of strict penance, declining to be ordained a priest. Meanwhile, he was writing popular hymns in the vernacular. Jacopone suddenly found himself a leader in a disturbing religious movement among the Franciscans. The Spirituals, as they were called, wanted a return to the strict poverty of Francis. They had on their side two cardinals of the Church and Pope Celestine V. These two cardinals though, opposed Celestine's successor, Boniface VIII. At the age of 68, Jacopone was excommunicated and imprisoned. Although he acknowledged his mistake, Jacopone was not absolved and released until Benedict XI became pope five years later. He had accepted his imprisonment as penance. He spent the final three years of his life more spiritual than ever, weeping “because Love is not loved.” During this time he wrote the famous Latin hymn, Stabat Mater. On Christmas Eve in 1306, Jacopone felt that his end was near. He was in a convent of the Poor Clares with his friend, Blessed John of La Verna. Like Francis, Jacopone welcomed “Sister Death” with one of his favorite songs. It is said that he finished the song and died as the priest intoned the “Gloria” from the midnight Mass at Christmas. From the time of his death Brother Jacopone has been venerated as a saint. Reflection His contemporaries called Jacopone, “Crazy Jim.” We might well echo their taunt, for what else can you say about a man who broke into song in the midst of all his troubles? We still sing Jacopone's saddest song, the Stabat Mater, but we Christians claim another song as our own, even when the daily headlines resound with discordant notes. Jacopone's whole life rang out our song: “Alleluia!” May he inspire us to keep singing. Click here for more on Blessed Jacopone! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

What if dreams could prepare us for heartbreak? For Shannon in South Carolina, a hauntingly vivid dream about her beloved dog, Todi, playing with ghost dogs and facing a tragic accident took on an eerie weight when her sister's corgi, Thunder Horse, faced an almost identical fate days later. From bizarre details like a box instead of a pet carrier to an overwhelming sense of loss, Shannon's experience feels like more than a coincidence. Is it a supernatural connection, empathy on a cosmic level, or just a strange twist of fate? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

Anoressia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, disturbi sempre più in aumento, che hanno con un denominatore comune un rapporto conflittuale e faticoso con il cibo e con il proprio corpo caratterizzate da una profonda sofferenza psicofisica. Parliamo di vere e proprie malattie che nulla hanno a che fare con la moda o con i capricci che hanno un impatto importante e a volte determinante sulla salute di chi ne è affetto. E allora come riconoscere un disturbo alimentare? Nicoletta Carbone ne parla a Obiettivo Salute risveglio con la prof.ssa Laura Dalla Ragione, psichiatra Direttrice della Rete Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare (DCA) Usl1 dell' Umbria, Docente del Campus Biomedico di Roma nonché direttrice del Numero Verde “SOS Disturbi alimentari” istituito a Todi dalla Presidenza del Consiglio e dall’Istituto Superiore di Sanità.

One of the great roles of Holy Mother Church is to teach us how to speak to God, to create in our hearts the proper dispositions of religion. She does this especially through her liturgy, where we have a ceremony prepared for us such that all we have to do is enter into it and make ourselves one with it, as far as possible, in order to become holy.One of the most powerful ways in which the Church teaches us the sentiments we should have in our souls, and creates those sentiments in us is through her hymns. There are hundreds upon hundreds of hymns that have been created throughout the centuries, providing the Church with a vast musical repertoire.Among them all, there are two, however, that seem to stand out above the rest, two hymns of sorrow, two hymns concerned with the most lamentable topic possible: death.One is the Dies Irae, about the Last Judgment; the other is the Stabat Mater, about Our Lady witnessing the death of Our Lord.Both were composed in the 1200s; both were used as sequences at Mass and were among the five sequences that were kept by Pope Pius V when he canonized the Tridentine Mass.Both of them were set to music by great composers on their deathbed. Mozart was composing music for the Dies Irae when he died at the age of 35; Pergolesi was composing music for the Stabat Mater when he died at the age of 26.Both of them were lost to the liturgy of the Church when the Novus Ordo Mass got rid of Latin and Gregorian Chant. We are blessed to be able to hold on to them and profit from them by holding on to the traditional Mass.We are more familiar with the Stabat Mater than the Dies Irae because we sing the Stabat Mater whenever we pray the Stations of the Cross during Lent.The Franciscans have a great devotion to the Passion of Our Lord and you know that St. Francis of Assisi received the very wounds of Our Lord in his body. Less than a century after the death of St. Francis, the Franciscan Jacopone da Todi composed the Stabat Mater. His composition is so beautiful and inspiring that over 300 composers have set the words of the hymn to music.The hymns has twenty stanzas. The first four stanzas set the scene by telling the story of what is happening; the next four stanzas make an appeal to the one listening to the hymn to have sympathy for this mother who is standing at the foot of the cross of her dying Son. Then there are ten stanzas addressed directly to Our Lady, making beautiful requests of her. Finally, the hymn ends with two stanzas addressed to Our Lord, asking Him that we may go to Heaven when we die.I would like for us to focus upon those ten stanzas in the middle of the hymn where we make our appeal to Our Lady.

Desde el tiempo de los fenicios el estuario del río Sado ha sido un nexo de culturas. La arqueología confirma que, en época romana, las ánforas setubalenses llegaban hasta lejanos puertos del Mare Nostrum. Por esta zona se ubicaba la fábrica de salazón más importante del imperio: visitamos sus ruinas junto a Inês Vaz Pinto, directora del yacimiento. Se llega fácilmente en ferri desde Setúbal, municipio del que se dice popularmente que é um mundo. Lo es porque combina en un reducido espacio una hermosa ciudad portuaria, una bahía en plena desembocadura, una sierra boscosa y un frente atlántico con playas y acantilados. Comenzamos nuestra ruta sonora en la céntrica plaza de Bocage; nos acompaña la técnica de turismo Sandra Felicidade, con quien descubrimos las calles de la colorida baixa, sus templos, panorámicas y visitas imprescindibles, como el histórico Mercado do Livramento, en plena avenida Luísa Todi. De la mano del guía local Vitor Guerreiro, gerente de Setúbal4You, visitamos los castillos que rodean la ciudad y su monumento más valioso, el convento de Jesús, con una iglesia de estilo manuelino y las dependencias monásticas transformadas en museo. Los biólogos marinos Gonçalo Silva y María José Valera Jiménez nos invitan a descubrir su lugar de trabajo, el Parque Natural da Arrábida. Lo observamos también desde el mar con la ayuda de los veleros de Vertigem Azul y en compañía de su responsable, Maria João Fonseca. Nuestro viaje termina en la alargada y arenosa península de Troia, donde la arqueóloga Sofía Fonseca nos invita a dar un paseo desde la moderna punta hotelera hasta los tradicionales cultivos de arroz de Comporta y el puerto palafítico de Carrasqueira. Nos despedimos probando el famoso moscatel setubalense en las bodegas del cercano pueblo de Azeitão con las recomendaciones de Kate y Denys, autores del blog 'Viajamos Juntos'.Histórico de emisiones:20/11/21Escuchar audio

(0:02:16) Codey: yeah at this point it’s in our dna (0:02:21) Al: It’s not like there’s just one specific day. Anyway. Yeah, I’m good.

Although we still have (0:02:42) Codey: Yeah it’s like wait is it still, are we still counting this as democracy? (0:02:50) Codey: I… D-I. (0:02:51) Al: an elected monarch. Not an elected monarch, an unelected monarch. You know, you have an (0:02:54) Codey: Not, yeah, not elect. (0:02:59) Al: elected monarch, we have an unelected monarch. Yeah, I know, I know. That’s what I’m in. (0:03:01) Codey: Well, they’re trying to make it a monarch and we’re not. (0:03:07) Al: Yes. (0:03:11) Al: So just paying attention to election, we’re recording this two hours before that finishes, (0:03:19) Al: so going to be a long night. (0:03:22) Codey: do y’all have the ranked choice voting though? okay nevermind today’s episode is (0:03:30) Codey: about gogotown (0:03:32) Al: So, today we’re going to talk about Gogotown. This is going to be a Gogotown first impressions (0:03:35) Codey: yep (0:03:39) Al: because I didn’t think we’d be able to get enough time to play this game properly to (0:03:44) Al: do a full in-depth discussion of the game. And after playing the game, maybe that was (0:03:51) Al: a good suggestion. So, we’ll talk about that in the main section. (0:03:56) Al: Before that, we have some news, some exciting news, some… (0:04:00) Codey: I, as ever, am a Ph.D. student with two extra jobs, so busy busy. (0:04:02) Al: …news. First of all, Cody, what have you been up to? (0:04:14) Codey: But when I’m not doing that, I’m still playing my cross stitch game. (0:04:19) Codey: It’s just basically a color by number game. (0:04:21) Codey: I am running out of in-game money to buy patterns though, so I need to slow down on it and find (0:04:30) Codey: the balance to do. (0:04:31) Codey: Because I get a certain amount of currency each day, and when I complete them. (0:04:37) Codey: So I just need to slow down and get caught up, find the balance again. (0:04:42) Codey: I just had a bit where I’m trying to brain rot a little bit, so playing it quite a bit. (0:04:51) Codey: Also I beat the career mode of Power Watch Simulator, so I’m now going through and trying (0:04:57) Codey: to 100% all of the achievements. (0:05:00) Codey: Which is… I mean, it’s just stuff like on the… (0:05:06) Codey: Like one achievement is called way of the blade and it was like on the helicopter finish the blades first (0:05:14) Codey: So I did that. So I’m just like doing those kinds of things one of them is to like complete the carousel without ever (0:05:20) Codey: turning the carousel off (0:05:23) Codey: It’s also gonna be wild. The carousel was a pain in the booty to do the first time. So trying to do it (0:05:30) Al: I can see how it would be difficult if it was spinning. (0:05:32) Codey: Yeah, yeah (0:05:34) Codey: So it’s that kind of stuff (0:05:40) Codey: Sad for some humans cassette beasts I have kind of put aside for the moment (0:05:46) Codey: I hit a point where (0:05:48) Codey: There was an intriguing thing that happened in the story and then I was like, oh no, there’s story (0:05:55) Codey: And (0:05:57) Al: I didn’t sign up for story. (0:06:01) Codey: I was like oh no I’m gonna care. Like I want to be able to like sit down with this and really pay (0:06:08) Codey: attention. And that’s not what I’m looking for in a game right now. I need to just turn my brain off (0:06:16) Codey: which is not what I do when there’s stories in games. So um yeah that that’ll be on pause for (0:06:21) Codey: a smidge. But Disney Dreamlight Valley added Mulan and Mushu. There’s also now (0:06:29) Codey: Bye! (0:06:30) Codey: A daily request, um, thing through Remy’s Diner restaurant. (0:06:38) Codey: I don’t remember what they call it. (0:06:40) Codey: Um, yeah. (0:06:41) Codey: So you have daily challenges now with, um, Daisy at her boutique, which you (0:06:48) Codey: can get currency to then buy more stuff. (0:06:50) Codey: So I’ve been doing that. (0:06:52) Codey: Um, it’s, it’s real simple. (0:06:55) Codey: You basically just go and she’s like, I want an outfit that has this. (0:06:58) Codey: And I’m like, okay, cool. (0:07:00) Codey: That outfit, and then that’s what you wear for a bit. (0:07:02) Codey: Um, uh, but there’s now something like that with Remy. (0:07:08) Codey: He does this like delivery service where it starts little quests of like, uh, (0:07:14) Codey: yesterday it was like the fairy godmother wants, has ordered a bunch of desserts. (0:07:18) Codey: And then you bring it to the fairy godmother and she’s like, thank you. (0:07:21) Codey: Can you bring these to Ursula for me? (0:07:22) Codey: And we’re like, what the heck? (0:07:24) Codey: Why are you what? (0:07:25) Codey: Um, and then you get like a thousand, a thousand monies and you get some currency. (0:07:30) Codey: But I really like the, I paid the in-game moonlight or moonstone currency or whatever. (0:07:36) Codey: I have a bunch of it cause I’ve played since early access. (0:07:39) Codey: So they gave, they were, they were like throwing that, that stuff at me. (0:07:42) Codey: So I spent some of that on the star path for Mulan because pretty much everything (0:07:50) Codey: is fire, like all of the outfits are really good. (0:07:54) Codey: All of the furniture is really good. (0:07:56) Codey: The outfits are really good, all of the furniture is really good. (0:08:00) Codey: It’s not cherries, it’s magnolias, like these pink floating flower piles and stuff like that, but it’s really really pretty. (0:08:08) Codey: A lot of dresses or outfits that have that as part of the outfit, so yeah, definitely really like that. (0:08:20) Codey: Still trying to get achievements in that game as well, so I’ve been playing that. (0:08:26) Codey: That’s pretty much it, what have you been up to? (0:08:30) Al: I have been obviously playing Go Go Town. (0:08:35) Al: I’ve been playing some more Day of the Diver. (0:08:38) Al: I got really into that. (0:08:39) Al: So (0:08:41) Al: that’s been going well and also farm RPG as usual. (0:08:44) Codey: hmm how many bottles are we at now? (0:08:45) Al: So. (0:08:48) Al: Oh, 85, 85, it’s taken a while. (0:08:52) Al: It’s taken a while. My I can’t forget. (0:08:54) Al: Is it the crafting, I think, that needs to be as well as the farming? (0:08:59) Al: My farming level is 85. (0:09:00) Al: So that’s what’s limiting me just now, but my crafting level is at 97. (0:09:02) Codey: Mmm. (0:09:04) Codey: Mmm. (0:09:05) Al: So that kind of shows you the difference there. (0:09:08) Al: Um, and it’s like the, it’s quite insane, the increases you need to get. (0:09:12) Al: So I’m currently at 424 million XP for farming and to get to level 99, it’s 2 billion. (0:09:18) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:09:23) Al: So I’m not even a quarter of the way there, even though I’m at level 85. (0:09:29) Al: So I think that. (0:09:30) Al: That’s going to take a while because it’s quite limited in how much you can actually (0:09:35) Al: farm obviously. (0:09:37) Al: So I currently have 32 plots just now, eight lines, eight rows, yeah, eight rows of things, (0:09:47) Al: and it’s like a billion to get the next, the next row, a billion silver, which is going (0:09:49) Codey: Yeah. (0:09:52) Codey: Yeah. (0:09:54) Al: to take me a long time to get to. (0:09:55) Al: So, yeah, I’m just plugging away. (0:09:56) Codey: I mean, it’s good that you’re still plugging away and going down that (0:10:01) Codey: that storyline for curious listeners slash me. (0:10:02) Al: Yes. (0:10:02) Al: Yeah. (0:10:08) Codey: Because I definitely wanted to hear the end of it, but did not have (0:10:12) Codey: the ability to commit. (0:10:17) Codey: But like, it’s the sunk cost fallacy it’s- (0:10:20) Codey: you’re like what you can’t you’re almost there (0:10:24) Al: I know, I know, I know, I know… (0:10:29) Codey: I’m sorry. I appreciate you appreciate your efforts (0:10:34) Al: The good news is, today, as we’re recording, I got my inventory to exactly one thing. (0:10:40) Codey: Nice are you are you keeping it there are you gonna keep (0:10:46) Al: of course I’m not keeping it there I need more inventory I know it’s a good (0:10:49) Codey: it’s a good it’s a it’s a good like even number you know (0:10:57) Codey: that’s fair though (0:10:58) Al: even number but like to get anywhere you need to get much higher got to keep (0:11:02) Codey: I heard something the other day that five is the most even odd number and I (0:11:11) Codey: yep it’s true that’s that is true it just is Cody’s ADHD cast yeah news (0:11:14) Al: Ah, so we’re gonna talk about some news! (0:11:22) Al: First up, first up we have, I feel like my headphones are on backwards. (0:11:30) Al: They were on backwards, that’s why. I was like, these feel uncomfortable and then I realized the (0:11:34) Al: cable was on the wrong side, so that explains. That’s why they were uncomfortable and not staying (0:11:35) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:11:39) Al: on my head. Ever After Falls have announced that they’re Steam Deck verified now. (0:11:40) Codey: That’s fair. (0:11:44) Codey: Woo! (0:11:45) Al: That’s it. I don’t think it’s actually changed anything, this just means that they’ve (0:11:46) Codey: That’s it. That’s the tweet. (0:11:53) Al: had it approved that they were doing everything they were meant to do. (0:11:57) Al: So they were doing everything they were meant to do and now they have proof. (0:11:58) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:12:03) Codey: Whoo (0:12:05) Al: Hotel Galactic have announced a timeline for their project.

(0:12:28) Codey: yes ye (0:12:33) Al: How do you always confuse me? I don’t, you’re just… (0:12:35) Codey: I’m just I confuse myself no so that’s yeah (0:12:39) Al: uh so the so the kickstart so the kickstarter will be out by the time you (0:12:44) Al: listen to this uh the early access for the game is q2 next year and then full (0:12:49) Al: release is apparently q4 of 2026 that is their current plan (0:12:53) Codey: and uh sure looks like a good game i’m excited for it (0:13:01) Codey: I don’t know it uh I really like the little one of the characters named (0:13:05) Codey: Sparn he looks real cute and it says that he trips over himself all the time and I was like dude same (0:13:12) Codey: um so yeah a little cute dude and it’s it it’s like a i’m just gonna stop it looks good (0:13:21) Codey: it’s on my watch list. (0:13:23) Codey: but it’s really far away from time so who knows if the universe will still (0:13:27) Codey: exist at that point. (0:13:29) Al: Yeah, it’s on my whistles as well, but so is everything basically (0:13:34) Codey: are you gonna kick start it? (0:13:38) Al: Probably (0:13:39) Codey: okay are you saving (0:13:40) Al: I just kick-started one. What did I just kick-start? Oh, yeah tiny garden the the the not a Polly Pocket game (0:13:43) Codey: are you oh yep the polypocky came (0:13:48) Al: The not a Polly Pocket game (0:13:51) Al: That it’s definitely not a Polly Pocket game (0:13:54) Codey: Totally not. Uh, yeah. Cool. (0:13:57) Al: But I feel like there’s quite a few coming out. (0:13:59) Al: Soon we’ve no kick starters. (0:14:00) Codey: Polypocky games. (0:14:08) Al: Because there’s that one. (0:14:12) Al: And then we’ve got farm folks and lose lagoon and superzoo (0:14:15) Al: story and outbound and moon haven. (0:14:20) Codey: yep I’m not gonna kickstart anything (0:14:27) Codey: it looks really cute though it’s on my eyes are on it my eyes are also on (0:14:33) Codey: coral island (0:14:34) Al: Nice, nice. They’ve given more information on their 1.1 update. (0:14:38) Codey: did we know the name of the update (0:14:42) Al: I don’t know, but what I will say is that we did know everything that’s in this title, (0:14:48) Al: right? None of this is new information and it is a very boring title. Story finale, London Sea. (0:14:56) Codey: I mean it’s I think like at calling it story finale like points to the fact that they were like (0:14:56) Al: Congrats, well done. What a great name. (0:15:04) Codey: Stuff was not ready like stuff was not (0:15:06) Al: They should have just called it. It’s the 1.1 update called 1.0. (0:15:08) Codey: It was not final (0:15:15) Codey: Yeah (0:15:16) Al: We’ve got the game now. Congrats. (0:15:19) Codey: Yeah (0:15:21) Al: So they’ve given some more information on things. Let’s leave the most exciting thing (0:15:27) Al: for last. So we’ll talk about the fact that they’ve got some more of the merfolk townies. (0:15:33) Al: Tony’s this is for of (0:15:36) Al: Galoon, Etna, Todi and Lannin (0:15:41) Al: with a little bit of explanation for them. They’ve added a (0:15:47) Al: gacha machine for recycling so you can put in rubbish and get things which is cool recycling stuff (0:15:52) Codey: so did the recycling center ever work before? is it just something you have to turn on? okay this is (0:15:56) Al: No, I don’t think it did I think (0:16:00) Codey: this is the first time okay because I was like I never got the recycling center to work so (0:16:04) Al: Yeah, I think that might be why I think the recycling center was more of a theory than an actual thing (0:16:05) Codey: is this so this is it i (0:16:12) Codey: yeah I was surprised that this was that they’re adding gacha a gacha mechanic um but yeah (0:16:22) Al: I think it’s cool the way they’ve done it. You can just call it recycling. You put in (0:16:28) Al: rubbish, which you’re not going to do anything else with. Once you’ve crafted five rubbish (0:16:34) Al: chests, that’s the only thing you’re ever going to use it for, you throw it in this machine and you (0:16:39) Al: get other stuff out of it. It’s pointing towards the whole goal of this, which is the environment. (0:16:46) Codey: they did also have the savannah which is there’s a gacha machine in the savannah (0:16:46) Al: So it’s, you know, recycling. They show you getting a seedling, which is cool. I don’t know. (0:16:52) Al: We can turn rubbish into seedling, but I’m not going to complain. (0:17:01) Al: Yes. Yeah, it’s the same one, it’s just in two different places. (0:17:04) Codey: oh okay it’s just another risk like okay got it (0:17:10) Codey: which the savannah thing was wild because it showed (0:17:15) Codey: that there’s like a (0:17:17) Codey: panther that you talk to and you end up racing the panther and you you could win an outfit that (0:17:24) Al: I’m not 100% sure what the deal is with the Savannah, because I’m pretty sure it does (0:17:27) Codey: is the panther (0:17:33) Al: exist in the game currently, but I never ended up unlocking it. Because there were a few (0:17:38) Al: items that I just didn’t get to get to that point. So I know this Panther and the race (0:17:44) Al: with the Panther is a new thing, but I’m pretty sure you could get to the Savannah. (0:17:46) Codey: yeah um I i never was there uh but it but I just it’s wild to me that there is this character (0:17:56) Al: I think it’s the only area I didn’t get… (0:18:02) Codey: and that the outfit that you can win from her is basically her like her skin um because I was (0:18:08) Al: her skin basically right (0:18:13) Codey: Yeah, I don’t know how you would, I don’t know. (0:18:16) Codey: Yeah, it’s, that’s wild. (0:18:19) Codey: She’s really cool though and it’s a cool idea to do like a racing thing, but yeah, that’s that. (0:18:26) Al: They’ve added new looks for sheds so you can change how they look, like the turnip and the (0:18:34) Al: carrot and stuff like that which is pretty cool. I want my carrot shed. I want a carrot shed. (0:18:36) Codey: Mm-hmm well you want a carrot shed I think I want I look (0:18:43) Al: I actually want a pumpkin shed but it’s not on the list but I want a pumpkin shed. Ooh good one. (0:18:47) Codey: I want a potato like that would just that would be goober and I would like that (0:18:54) Al: They’ve also added some new outfits. They’ve added a seller, which is exactly what you (0:19:00) Al: expect it to be. Ages, wine. It does. Why is it so gross in there? That’s weird. There’s (0:19:02) Codey: It looks like the sewer from- it looks like the sewer from Stardew. (0:19:11) Al: a new fruit for increasing HP. There is the- oh yes, the Lumina sprinkler, as it’s called. (0:19:20) Al: So this is for those who aren’t remembering, they are adding. (0:19:24) Al: Underwater farming so you can farm specific plants underwater and instead of watering them, (0:19:31) Al: you light them. So you’ve got like a little stick that lights them daily rather than watering them. (0:19:37) Al: But up till this point, we didn’t know whether there was going to be a sprinkler equivalent. (0:19:39) Al: Thankfully, there is the Lumina sprinkler. So I’m happy about that. (0:19:46) Al: They’ve also added some information on the multiplayer. I mean, it’s kind of just (0:19:51) Al: what you would expect, I think, mostly. It’s kind of… (0:19:54) Codey: Yeah. (0:19:54) Al: Stardew, same style of multiplayer Stardew. (0:19:58) Codey: Yup. (0:19:59) Al: Someone hosts the game and up to three other people can join and you can troll. (0:20:02) Codey: I’m so, I’m so excited to do it and have Mark from Australia spend all of my money. (0:20:10) Codey: ‘Cause the one time I played multiplayer Stardew, I played it with Mark and he spent all my money ‘cause we didn’t realize that the money was tied together. (0:20:16) Al: Wild. And the most exciting thing in this update, I think you’ll agree Cody, is dino suits for your animals. (0:20:17) Codey: It was really funny. (0:20:22) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:20:24) Codey: Which it doesn’t- I love that they call it dino suits because it doesn’t look like you put the animal in a suit. (0:20:30) Codey: Like it’s not a costume. It’s like you’ve like transmogrified them to be something. (0:20:36) Al: Yeah, I think the idea is they’re trying to say that you are putting it in a suit. (0:20:41) Al: But yeah, like, the cow gets smaller in one dimension when you do that. (0:20:47) Al: Like, the cow cannot fit in there unless you’re squishing its head and stretching it out, right? (0:20:53) Codey: Yeah, it is cute (0:20:53) Al: But I don’t care. I think this is cool. I want a T-Rex. I want to turn my ostrich into a T-Rex. (0:21:00) Al: I want to turn my cow into a Brontosaurus. I want this. This is great. But my big question is, (0:21:07) Al: where are they for my dogs? (0:21:10) Codey: I mean they wouldn’t do that because you don’t want a dinosaur in the home and dogs can’t (0:21:15) Al: I do I do I want I want I want my dog in a dino suit (0:21:16) Codey: come out of the home. (0:21:17) Codey: Well, if you want a dinosaur in the home, get the bearded dragon. (0:21:22) Codey: I want the bearded dragon. (0:21:25) Codey: I want the bearded dragon to become like not a dragon, like becomes like something else. (0:21:32) Codey: I don’t even know. (0:21:34) Al: want to put it in a catsuit? Just get a cat then. (0:21:35) Codey: Yes. (0:21:36) Codey: but I want it to be like, I don’t want it to be the like, (0:21:40) Codey: Tom’s a cat. I would want it to be a bearded, like a little bearded dragon head sticking out of a little cat outfit. (0:21:45) Codey: I think that’d be so flipping cute. I might do this to my beard and beardy in real life, actually. (0:21:50) Al: good. (0:21:52) Codey: I’m gonna look up bearded dragon outfits. (0:21:55) Al: Anyway, I’m looking forward to this update. (0:21:58) Codey: Yep, I am also sorry. I’m there are some really cute bearded dragon outfits. (0:22:03) Al: Alright, do we need to pause? Do we need to wait until you’re finished? (0:22:06) Codey: No, this is good content. No, it’s (0:22:10) Codey: we’re fine um yeah I mean I’m still I’ve been wanting to jump back into (0:22:17) Codey: Coral Island so this is just kind of making me want to wait a smidge when is (0:22:24) Codey: this supposed to come out (0:22:24) Al: They haven’t said, it’s currently in beta. I suspect Q3? I say that, that’s like, no. (0:22:30) Codey: okay (0:22:33) Codey: well this is like the beginning of Q3 so (0:22:35) Al: I think probably August, that would be my guess, August. Because I think they said there’s (0:22:42) Al: a second update coming out this year, so I feel like they need to get it out soon. But (0:22:48) Al: I do not want it in July, please and thank you. (0:22:50) Codey: So the answer is I’m gonna have to make my bearded dragon her own cat costume (0:22:56) Codey: because they don’t exist. Just if anyone else has a bearded dragon in (0:22:57) Al: Yeah, are you surprised? I’m not surprised that no bearded dragon cat costume exists. (0:23:06) Codey: I’m pretty surprised you don’t know the bearded dragon community do you cuz I (0:23:09) Al: It seems pretty niche. I mean, why not just get a cat? (0:23:17) Codey: don’t want that I want like it’s like when you put your cat in a little cost (0:23:22) Codey: little dragon costume you don’t want a lizard you just want to embarrass your (0:23:26) Codey: animal (0:23:27) Al: I don’t think they have feelings like that, I don’t think they feel embarrassment because (0:23:33) Al: that’s a social construction. (0:23:38) Codey: Stella acts very embarrassed sometimes. I don’t know about the dragon, but (0:23:43) Codey: we have two new games that we can talk about. (0:23:48) Al: Not that we’re going to have much to talk about the first one. (0:23:50) Al: Real fishing days of summer. (0:23:53) Al: The new real fishing game comes out on October 28th on Switch and PS5 and it is exactly what (0:23:58) Al: you expect. (0:23:59) Al: It’s a new real fishing game. (0:24:02) Al: It looks exactly the same as the previous real fishing game, and there’s fish. (0:24:08) Al: If you love the real fishing games, I’m sure you’ll be excited to play. (0:24:10) Codey: it just makes me want to play I think there’s a fishing game that I’ve been (0:24:15) Codey: wanting to play that’s on Game Pass and I did grow up playing like I think it (0:24:21) Codey: was just like Bass Pro Shop fishing I remember playing that as like a eight (0:24:26) Codey: year old so yeah looks alright (0:24:30) Al: Cool. The other game is called Preserve and the blurb about this is “Preserve is a relaxing (0:24:40) Al: puzzle nature building game in which you flourish a vibrant ecosystem by cleverly placing plants (0:24:47) Al: and animals to create a perfect symbiosis to your liking.” So you’ve got like these hexagonal (0:24:57) Al: tiles that have different biomes and stuff like that. (0:25:00) Al: And it looks like you put them together to make a world that you want. (0:25:04) Al: There’s animals as well. (0:25:06) Codey: - Yep, yeah, I like that it’s a puzzle. (0:25:11) Codey: Like I like the idea of it being a puzzle game (0:25:14) Codey: and like maybe they have like requirements for each puzzle. (0:25:19) Codey: Like build a puzzle that has 10 animals (0:25:22) Codey: from four different biomes or something like that, (0:25:24) Codey: you know, and like to build maybe like one of the animals (0:25:28) Codey: requires like a, I’m just making this up. (0:25:32) Codey: maybe like the wolf requires. (0:25:36) Codey: a forest biome right next to a meadow biome that has a river biome going through it (0:25:40) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah (0:25:41) Codey: um to like make it a puzzle I think that would be really cool um I i’m never a fan of these (0:25:49) Codey: like island games where like it’s the world is just kind of a floating thing and you just (0:25:55) Codey: kind of build on top of these hexagonal I don’t even know how to describe it but there (0:26:02) Codey: There’s been a lot of games that have been coming out like this. (0:26:06) Codey: I’m not a super big fan of that but also like as an ecologist I look at a game like this and I’m like this would never you’d put the wolves in the forest and they’d be like heck you I’m gonna go over here like you can’t box you can’t box nature that way so but yeah coming on August 8 to steam both Windows Max and Mac and Linux that’s cool what did you think about this game? (0:26:19) Al: Animals don’t do what you want them to, yeah. (0:26:32) Al: It’s probably not something I’d play, but I think it looks cool, and I know some people (0:26:36) Al: love these times for games, so yeah, it’s cool. (0:26:38) Codey: Mm-hmm I wonder how much it’s gonna be click does not have an amount (0:26:49) Al: And speaking of the whole animals not doing what you want, they reintroduced beavers in (0:26:56) Codey: Yeah. (0:26:58) Al: Scotland like maybe 10 years ago or something like that. And now the farmers are like, “Can (0:27:04) Al: we kill them, please?” And you’re like, “Oh, no, you can’t kill them. We put all the effort (0:27:06) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:27:09) Al: into putting them back into the wild. No, you can’t kill them.” (0:27:12) Codey: Yep. That was the classic thing in Oregon. (0:27:16) Codey: Everyone was like, “Bring the wolves back, because we killed all the wolves.” (0:27:18) Codey: But then we had too many deer, and the deer population were getting really gross. (0:27:21) Al: Hmm. (0:27:24) Codey: to bring them back, and then all of the… (0:27:26) Codey: Ag folks that live…the agricultural folks that live on the east side of the state were like (0:27:32) Codey: “We follow the three S’s, the shoot it shovel it and shut up.” (0:27:34) Al: Oh, look, it’s an animal, can we kill it? (0:27:39) Codey: Yeah, and they’re just like, “We want to kill…it’s eating our cows. We’re gonna kill it.” And it’s like… (0:27:45) Al: Can you just stop killing just just just for a minute, right? (0:27:48) Codey: Well, and they also…like a lot of those people, they put their cows on (0:27:53) Codey: Bureau of Land Management land, which is like free land (0:27:57) Codey: for anyone to use, but like if you’re not putting your cows within an enclosure, it’s kind of on you. I’m not gonna lie. (0:28:00) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I recently learned why beavers dam. Do you know how this works? I don’t know (0:28:04) Codey: Bye. (0:28:10) Al: if this is in your area of interest at all. It’s fascinating, because it’s like, for those (0:28:12) Codey: Oh it is. 100%. Oregon is the bigger state. (0:28:15) Codey: So. (0:28:16) Codey: All right. (0:28:18) Al: who, feel free to correct me if I’ve misunderstood this Cody, but for listeners, basically the (0:28:23) Al: dam, which raises the level of the water, which means that they store water. (0:28:30) Al: And not water, they store food under the water, which allows them there, because the water (0:28:36) Al: is increased, it goes into their house, and then that means that it doesn’t freeze inside (0:28:42) Al: their house, so they can still get into the water, even when the surface of the water (0:28:46) Al: is frozen outside of there, and it preserves their food in the cold water underneath. (0:28:51) Al: Isn’t that really cool? That’s so clever. (0:28:54) Codey: which if they build on like the edge of a lake or something (0:28:58) Codey: is fine. that doesn’t really mess with anything but then when they build in (0:29:03) Codey: a riverine system like in a river or a creek or a (0:29:07) Codey: stream or some small system and they can divert entire (0:29:11) Codey: like watersheds they’re called what’s they’re known as a keystone species (0:29:17) Codey: because if they are in an environment they completely change the structure of (0:29:21) Codey: the environment. (0:29:22) Al: Don’t know anyone else like that. (0:29:25) Codey: uh-uh. (0:29:25) Al: Yeah, it’s just so clever. I love it. (0:29:26) Codey: um… (0:29:28) Codey: usually– (0:29:32) Codey: they’re really mean, though. (0:29:32) Al: Oh yeah, no, I wasn’t planning on doing it. I’ll be honest with you. (0:29:34) Codey: don’t go up to them. (0:29:38) Codey: I haven’t had to mess with one yet, (0:29:40) Codey: but, like, (0:29:42) Codey: I have a feeling Stella would try and go for it (0:29:44) Codey: and I would be really worried about that. (0:29:45) Al: I generally appreciate nature from a distance. That’s my general rule. Now, we don’t have (0:29:52) Al: many things in this country that could kill me, but that’s just my general rule. I enjoy (0:29:58) Al: it over there and I’m over here and we’re all good. (0:30:00) Codey: Yeah. (0:30:03) Codey: Yep. (0:30:07) Al: So that’s the news. (0:30:08) Codey: Whoo! (0:30:12) Al: We are going to talk about Gogotown, our first impressions. So I have purchased the (0:30:18) Al: and I’ve put in maybe 15, 20 hours I think, something like that. (0:30:22) Al: Cody has purchased the game and put zero errors into it. (0:30:22) Codey: didn’t even purchase it… no. uh-uh. I mean it’s still funny to say Cody has not (0:30:26) Al: I thought you said you’d bought it already. Did you not say that to me? That ruins my (0:30:37) Codey: purchased the game and has put none hours into it but I did watch a French (0:30:46) Codey: guy for like five minutes on Twitch so I basically know everything (0:30:50) Codey: about the game. (0:30:50) Al: Hehehe, everything! (0:30:52) Codey: No, it was, I’ve watched the developers play a little bit, but not a ton. (0:31:00) Al: But let me do an intro. I feel an interesting mix between a standard cottagecore farming (0:31:01) Codey: I’m basically coming in naive, so. (0:31:14) Al: game and a management style game where you are controlling a character. You have a character (0:31:20) Al: who you control and you move around and you do your standard things. You do your farming, (0:31:24) Al: you do your wood chopping, you do your mining, you do your fishing. But you’re also… (0:31:30) Al: So, controlling the town, you’re basically in control kind of Animal Crossing-esque. But (0:31:35) Al: in my opinion, in a much nicer way in that you have a build mode where you can just move (0:31:41) Al: things around rather than having to manually go and do them all. Different people like (0:31:44) Al: different things, but I quite like that. Your aim is to build up this town. It basically (0:31:52) Al: doesn’t exist when you get there. You have to build up, you get visitors, you encourage (0:31:56) Al: visitors to stay and you build up your town. (0:32:00) Al: Into a thriving mini Metropolis is a kind of short way of explaining it without going into too much detail at the start. (0:32:11) Al: I guess my first impressions before we go into details of the mechanics would be that I think there’s a really fun and strong core game here, (0:32:25) Al: but it very much feels like an early action. (0:32:30) Al: Well, it feels like that to me, for listeners, I talked about it in the first Ooblets episode. (0:32:30) Codey: - Hmm. (0:32:43) Codey: I have never played Ooblets. (0:32:54) Al: It was like a very strong, very clearly defined game, but very limited. (0:33:00) Al: It feels like the game has a lot of room to expand, and it’s not there yet, but everything (0:33:11) Al: that is there is fun, but the question is, is it enough to be a compelling game in and (0:33:17) Al: of itself just now? (0:33:19) Al: I think it does, but I think if you were to play this just now, you would feel like there’s (0:33:26) Al: quite a lot missing, but you’re not quite sure what that is. (0:33:30) Al: It’s hard, it’s not like in Coral Island where you go, “Oh, and now I’ve reached the end of the (0:33:37) Al: story,” but it’s clearly not the end of the story. It’s not like that. It’s like, (0:33:42) Al: “Okay, this is fun, but I feel like there’s stuff missing. I just don’t know what that is.” (0:33:46) Codey: Yeah, like where where is the missing part and is or is this just where it ends? (0:33:52) Al: Yeah, and it’s definitely not because they’ve had a good detailed list of what they’re wanting (0:33:59) Al: to do and the good thing is that they have taken people’s opinions and they’ve changed (0:34:04) Al: what they’re planning to do, not what they’re planning to do, but the order they’re planning (0:34:07) Al: to do because people’s priorities are different from what theirs were. So they’ve gone, “Oh, (0:34:11) Al: right, OK, you really want this. That’s fine. We’ll bump that up,” the priority list type (0:34:14) Al: thing, which is really good listening to that feedback. (0:34:20) Al: I guess let’s go into some of this… (0:34:22) Al: The specifics and feel free to input into any of these that you actually saw in the game. (0:34:28) Al: So the farming, you start out with just like a few plots, you have to like buy a plot, (0:34:37) Al: you can’t just like you don’t have a hole to do whatever. It’s like everything in this (0:34:42) Al: game, it’s like you have a limited number that you’re allowed to buy until you level (0:34:46) Al: up and then you can buy more. Which I understand why they’ve done it because they want to like (0:34:52) Al: what you can do until you do more and then it feels like you’re expanding that way. (0:34:57) Al: But personally, I’m not a huge fan of that because it feels like oh but I have the money. (0:35:02) Al: My big problem in this game is I have max money and I can’t spend it because there’s (0:35:07) Al: nothing to buy because I’ve already bought everything. But I can’t make any more money (0:35:12) Al: because apparently there’s a max amount of money you can have which feels really weird. (0:35:20) Codey: I mean your your purse is only so big. Can you upgrade it? (0:35:20) Al: But yeah it just feels like the balance isn’t right there. (0:35:22) Al: I haven’t seen anything to be able to do that. Now having said that, I haven’t gone through all (0:35:33) Al: of the upgrades. I think I’m maybe like level five of the the the tech tree, but I’m not sure. (0:35:40) Codey: Okay what’s your how much do you have for monies okay that’s what the (0:35:42) Al: I haven’t seen anything that upgrades that. I think it’s a thousand. (0:35:50) Codey: developers are also they also have on their stream that they’re streaming (0:35:52) Al: Right, okay. I think it is, yeah. And I don’t know whether that’s something they’re planning (0:35:53) Codey: right now so that’s probably (0:35:57) Al: on adding upgrades to or what. It feels like a weird, like I’ve never played a game where (0:36:02) Al: they limit the max amount of money you’re able to have. That feels like a weird and arbitrary (0:36:08) Al: restriction. And I’m not sure why it would be there other than because they don’t trust their (0:36:13) Al: own economy in the game. It’s not difficulty though, right? Like, especially if there’s nothing (0:36:14) Codey: Hmm, it adds a level of difficulty. (0:36:22) Al: money on, because then you just get to the point where you’re like, okay, now I’ve unlocked (0:36:26) Al: something and I can immediately buy everything. And then I just, and then once I’ve bought things, (0:36:31) Al: I can then earn money again. Like I’ve never got to the point where I’ve not had enough money for (0:36:36) Al: that. And money’s pretty easy to make because you just, you just wait. Like literally, if you just (0:36:44) Al: had this game running without you doing anything, especially once you’ve unlocked a bunch of the (0:36:48) Al: stuff and you’ve got it implemented the game basically runs itself so you could just start (0:36:50) Codey: I think that’s what it is. I think that’s what I think of it being more (0:36:52) Al: there and you would gain money doing nothing (0:36:58) Codey: difficulty is because you can’t just do that because at a certain point like if (0:37:03) Codey: you left the game and went into another room or like went and did something else (0:37:07) Codey: and you came back maybe like an hour into that it was at max money so there (0:37:13) Codey: was no point in like letting the game run all of that time you would have had (0:37:19) Codey: to check in on it. (0:37:20) Codey: And fix it somehow, you know. (0:37:22) Al: Yeah, but then my problem is there’s nothing to spend the money on. There’s literally nothing (0:37:27) Al: I can spend the money on. Because they limit how much you can do. There is an import/export thing (0:37:35) Al: that I probably don’t need to go into too much detail of, but basically you can sell things (0:37:41) Al: to other towns. It’s not actual multiplayer, don’t get me wrong. It’s just you’re selling (0:37:46) Al: stuff to someone else. It doesn’t matter. Someone requests it and you sell it. You don’t get money, (0:37:52) Al: tokens. Then you can use that to buy more stuff. But I think that’s also limited. (0:37:58) Al: I bought another storage thing and then that was it. It was sold out. It just feels like (0:38:07) Al: everything is limited. There’s nothing that isn’t limited in the game. (0:38:13) Al: And I think that would be my second biggest frustration. I really like this game. I think (0:38:19) Al: I think it’s really fun to play, it’s really fluid. (0:38:22) Al: The movement is fun especially when you get some of the vehicles, like there’s a skateboard (0:38:28) Al: and there’s a bike and there’s a car, a go-kart and stuff like that. They’re all really fun (0:38:35) Al: to play and I can just, I find myself just riding around on them. (0:38:44) Al: The game is just fun to play but there’s a few things and one of them is the fact that (0:38:49) Al: it’s so limited in what you can buy. (0:38:51) Al: And that I… (0:38:52) Al: It adds into the frustration when you basically don’t have an inventory and you have a bag (0:39:03) Al: but it’s like you can only fit in certain amounts. (0:39:07) Al: It’s one of these things where it’s like different things are different sizes. (0:39:11) Al: So if you had a steel girder in your bag, you could only have two of them because they’re (0:39:14) Codey: - Mm-hmm, yeah. (0:39:16) Al: so big. (0:39:17) Al: If you had rocks, you could have 10 of them sort of thing, which okay, sure, fine. (0:39:23) Al: You can use to get around that, like you have a van you can drive that you can fill up and (0:39:26) Al: it has more… (0:39:27) Al: But then you have to put things places and there are storage boxes, but the storage boxes (0:39:34) Al: do the same thing as your bag and they are very limited. (0:39:38) Al: So I’m at the point where I have people mining and their boxes are all full, but I need them (0:39:45) Al: to get something different. (0:39:46) Al: So I have to get the stuff out the box so they get something different because I’ve (0:39:49) Al: used up all of my iron and they’ve just (0:39:52) Al: been filling it with stone because I keep using the iron for things because there’s (0:39:56) Al: nothing to use stone on anymore because I’ve done everything and the more complex ones (0:40:01) Al: need iron instead of stone so they just keep adding stone and I can’t use the stone for (0:40:06) Al: anything so I have boxes and boxes full of stone that I don’t know what to do with and (0:40:12) Al: I can’t buy more boxes so all of my boxes are full of stone and I can’t get any more (0:40:17) Al: boxes and I just I want to know what to do with the stone. (0:40:22) Al: And also I just want more boxes like the inventory thing is the thing that I understand that (0:40:32) Al: some people might like it but I think I actively don’t like it like I just I just want a universal (0:40:40) Al: storage thing or at least like a box that doesn’t have a limit to it right like I think (0:40:45) Al: I see where they’re going with the like it’s trying to be a very physical game right like (0:40:52) Al: this thing and then you put it in a box or you mine something and then you take it to (0:40:55) Al: the place that it’s needed and then I’m going to talk about the the hiring of people like (0:41:02) Al: you can you can use the people that you you convinced to move there you can use them to (0:41:07) Al: do to to do jobs that you you do at the beginning so it allows you to have that automation which (0:41:14) Al: is fun and then you assign them to specific jobs so you say this is my miner and this (0:41:19) Al: This is my tree cutter. (0:41:20) Al: This is my fisher. (0:41:21) Al: This is my farmer. (0:41:22) Al: They will put things in the boxes that you put near them and then you have to move them (0:41:27) Al: between them but then you can get someone who is a courier so their job is just to take (0:41:31) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:41:32) Al: things from the places that they are to the places that they need. (0:41:36) Al: I get that and that’s all fun. (0:41:39) Al: I mean it when I say that, I think that is actually fun because it’s very physical and (0:41:44) Al: it’s very material and that’s good but because the boxes do the same thing, I just have boxes (0:41:53) Al: of stone everywhere that I can’t do anything with and it’s filling up storage that I could (0:41:58) Al: be using for other things. (0:42:00) Codey: yeah it’s giving factorial vibes you need to make it more efficient so i’m reading the (0:42:08) Codey: developer update that came out like a week ago and they’ve uh I don’t know if it has a roadmap (0:42:10) Al: Is this the road map one? (0:42:16) Al: It’s not a road map so much as like, here are the things we’re going to focus on, sort (0:42:20) Al: of thing. (0:42:20) Codey: yeah so they talk about like minor update one like the things that they’re (0:42:23) Al: Yes. (0:42:24) Codey: so one of them says one of them says too much stuff the overflow chronicles and (0:42:30) Codey: it talks about the fact that you have too many items but you don’t have anything to do with them (0:42:34) Al: Oh nice! (0:42:36) Codey: so you can dispose of the items in a machine that will become available to you through the tech tier (0:42:41) Al: Oh and you receive import tickets, nice! Okay cool, cool! (0:42:44) Codey: and then further down they also say like we have broken down the ai worker feedback into (0:42:49) Codey: the following issues so one of them is the ai over producing resources their backpacks filling up (0:42:54) Codey: storage bins being placed outside of zones that’s not really that important (0:42:58) Al: Yeah, I think those are mostly bugs rather than the actual fundamental issue and the (0:43:04) Al: fundamental issue is I have too much stuff, which they’re obviously trying to figure out (0:43:09) Al: some ways to deal with that. Yeah, I can see that that would certainly improve it. I would (0:43:10) Codey: Yeah. (0:43:10) Codey: Mmhmm. (0:43:17) Al: also just be able to buy unlimited storage. I understand why they’re limiting a lot of (0:43:21) Al: things and I’m not saying don’t have any limits on things, but storage specifically. (0:43:22) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:43:28) Codey: Really? Yeah. (0:43:28) Al: Like, that seems like such a weird thing to limit. Like, if I want to have 100 boxes (0:43:35) Al: of stone, why not? You know, like, sure, limit the things that you can, like, limit the buildings (0:43:43) Al: so you can only have certain numbers of people living there. Limit the attractions you have (0:43:47) Al: so you can’t just, like, get infinite money in a day sort of thing. You know, that all (0:43:52) Al: makes sense. But storage, of all things. Give me more storage, please. (0:43:56) Codey: - Yeah. (0:43:58) Al: Yeah, it’s interesting, because I generally don’t like management games and this is very (0:43:58) Codey: - Management games, woo! (0:44:06) Al: much more of a management game than I thought it was going to be. But I do find it fun. (0:44:15) Al: I don’t think it’s something that I’m going to put, like, hundreds of hours into, like (0:44:19) Al: I have done with Stardew and Coral Island. But it’s fun being different. (0:44:25) Codey: Mm-hmm. Honestly, the fact that it’s more of a management game, uh, it has endeared me to it more. (0:44:32) Codey: No. Um, yeah. So I think, because I think that that, like making things more efficient and like (0:44:39) Codey: hiring people and having them work in different areas and like having, like being like this person (0:44:44) Codey: gets to work as a courier and like this zone, because it looks like you zone things, right? (0:44:48) Al: So, the zones are there by default. So, you have, like, the map has - this is the mining (0:44:55) Al: zone, it is where the caves are. This is the forestry zone. That’s the word I keep trying (0:45:01) Al: to think of - forestry zone. And that’s where the forest is, obviously. This is the fishing (0:45:05) Al: zone, that’s where the river is. And then there’s the farming zone, which, I mean, that (0:45:11) Al: could probably be anywhere. But it is a fixed - these are fixed zones. And you put certain (0:45:15) Al: things within them to do that so you have like (0:45:18) Al: a time clock so you put a time clock in the zone and then you you go to the time clock and you say I want this person to do this job and then they will use anything that’s in that zone so you put things in the zone to allow them to use it so you put storage in and they will use that to put things in you put in machines and they will use the machines to make different things etc etc so I think one of the other complaints that people had in general which I think I agree is something (0:45:48) Al: they need to improve but I wasn’t like oh I can’t believe they haven’t got it or they need to have it right now is like more space because it does fill up quite quickly and they’ve definitely said that they’re going to be doing that they’re going to be adding expansions to the map which is good but yeah I think that is not the thing that I was like I need this right now probably because I hadn’t got to the end of the tech tree yet (0:45:58) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:46:02) Codey: Expanding yeah, yep (0:46:12) Codey: so okay so there are these different tasks that you can allot to people can (0:46:19) Codey: you also do the tasks like yourself okay (0:46:21) Al: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you start out by doing it yourself, right? You have (0:46:24) Codey: okay (0:46:26) Al: to upgrade the tech tree to get the time clocks. So like after you’ve done like the first full (0:46:29) Codey: got it (0:46:32) Al: tech tree, then you get a second line of the tech tree and it goes like, here is the forestry (0:46:39) Al: expansion. And that gives you a machine to make log, not logs, planks. And it gives you (0:46:49) Al: a time clock for the forestry area and it gives you (0:46:51) Al: another storage thing and it gives you another chainsaw, which by the way, the chainsaw (0:46:57) Al: for cutting down trees is so much fun. I don’t know why more games don’t have that. It’s great. (0:47:02) Al: Then you also have the mining expansion, which gives you the mining time clock, et cetera, (0:47:07) Al: et cetera. So yeah, you unlock them as you go. So you have to do everything to start with (0:47:12) Al: and as you go, you get the ability to automate it with workers using the time clocks. But then you (0:47:18) Al: you can also just do them if you want. (0:47:20) Al: Yeah, you can just go. (0:47:21) Al: Oh, this worker’s being too slow, or I want this specific thing. (0:47:24) Al: I’m going to go do that just now. (0:47:26) Al: And that’s– yeah, that’s totally fine. (0:47:29) Al: I didn’t find myself finding I needed to do that, though. (0:47:31) Al: The AIs, I think, were pretty good. (0:47:34) Al: Yeah, like, the only time I felt like I needed to do something (0:47:38) Al: because the workers weren’t doing it (0:47:39) Al: is because all their storage was full, (0:47:41) Al: so they couldn’t do anything, you know? (0:47:42) Codey: - Yeah. (0:47:44) Al: Like, they couldn’t make more steel beams (0:47:47) Al: because there was nowhere to put them. (0:47:49) Al: Fair enough, I understand that. (0:47:51) Al: Sorry, there’s nothing I can do with that. (0:47:51) Codey: The supply chain must grow, yeah. (0:47:53) Al: Yeah, exactly, exactly. (0:47:54) Codey: I mean, it’s early access, so it’s awesome, yeah. (0:47:57) Al: Oh, absolutely, absolutely. (0:47:59) Al: I guess my point is more like if these things (0:48:01) Al: sound like they would be frustrating to you, (0:48:03) Al: wait for 1.0, like there’s nothing wrong with that. (0:48:05) Al: And I think it is a really fun game. (0:48:10) Al: I’m really enjoying it. (0:48:12) Al: But I do think I’m probably at the point where I’m like, (0:48:15) Al: okay, now I wait for 1.0 before I play more. (0:48:19) Al: because I feel like (0:48:21) Al: I can see how it’s going to be improving and I want that. I want the improved version. (0:48:28) Al: I don’t regret the time I put into it. It has been fun doing what I’ve been doing. (0:48:34) Al: I’m done 15, 20 hours is probably enough in early access. Maybe I’ll play a different point (0:48:41) Al: depending on what the update. Obviously, I’ll be keeping an eye on the updates and (0:48:44) Al: we’ll be talking about them here because I always do. The games that I’m more excited (0:48:46) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:48:48) Al: the boat we talk about more often. (0:48:49) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:48:51) Al: But I’ll definitely I’ll definitely get back into it when it hits 1.0. (0:48:56) Codey: I mean, we definitely talked about that during the halfway through the games episode as well where like what games are we looking forward to the most and a lot of the games were just the 1.0 versions of games that we had already played and it’s it’s I mean, that’s the thing is that you can play them in either early access or whatever

Avec Olivier Jaune

A Obiettivo Salute Weekend torniamo a parlare di DCA, Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare. Sappiamo che il rapporto con il cibo è un rapporto complesso condizionato da tante variabili. L'età la situazione lo stato emotivo, l'ambiente che ci circonda, ed è quindi importante saper trovare le giuste modalità per metterci in connessione con i nostri figli. Nicoletta Carbone ne parla con la prof.ssa Laura Dalla Ragione, psichiatra Direttrice della Rete Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare (DCA) Usl1 dell'Umbria, Docente del Campus Biomedico di Roma nonché direttrice del Numero Verde 800.180.969 “SOS Disturbi alimentari” istituito a Todi dalla Presidenza del Consiglio e dall’Istituto Superiore di Sanità e Roberta, mamma di Elena, protagonista di una puntata del podcast “Quando meno te lo aspetti” in cui proprio si parla di DCA, Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare.

VIDEO: Premio Viva Maria alla Bussola Quotidiana ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT2AyJ4aBnATESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7704LA MADONNA DEL CONFORTO: LUCE IN TEMPI DI ATTACCO ALLA FEDE di Stefano ChiappaloneDurante la preghiera del Rosario che unisce ogni giorno la redazione e i lettori della Bussola, viene inquadrata una particolare immagine mariana: è la Madonna del Conforto venerata nel duomo di Arezzo in seguito a un evento miracoloso accaduto il 15 febbraio 1796. Quella presente nella nostra cappella è, naturalmente, una fedele riproduzione, ricevuta dal Centro Culturale "Amici del Timone" di Staggia Senese, che nel 2014, in occasione del 6° Giorno del Timone della Toscana, volle conferire a La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il premio "Viva Maria".Torniamo al febbraio del 1796 ad Arezzo, nella cantina annessa all'Ospizio della Grancia, dove i camaldolesi vendevano il vino e mettevano a disposizione dei più poveri un fornello per cucinare e scaldarsi, accanto al quale si trovava proprio la nostra immagine, annerita e impolverata. Questa riproduceva a sua volta la Madonna di Provenzano, venerata a Siena (originariamente una Pietà di cui però era rimasto soltanto il busto della Vergine), accompagnata dalla scritta: «Sancta Maria ora pro nobis»). Quel mese di febbraio era iniziato male e il Carnevale era stato offuscato da decine di forti scosse di terremoto, accompagnate da bagliori e altri fenomeni inquietanti, che spinsero ben presto a volgere la baldoria carnevalesca in processioni penitenziali, anticipando la Quaresima che sarebbe iniziata ufficialmente il 10.SI RINFRANCHI IL TUO CUORE: ECCO TUA MADREIl 15 febbraio nuova scossa e nuovi timori: nella notte si ritrovarono in cantina alcuni artigiani, Antonio Tanti, Giuseppe Brandini e Antonio Scarpini, confidandosi i rispettivi timori per il terremoto insieme alla cantiniera Domitilla Bianchini. Il pensiero andò ben presto ai castighi divini e alla protezione di Maria. Accesero un lume alla malconcia immagine mariana che vegliava su di loro e cominciarono a pregare, quando d'un tratto quel bassorilievo - ormai giallo e nero, che non c'era più verso di ripulire - si fece candido, emanando una luce ben diversa dagli inquietanti bagliori del terremoto, che da allora cessò. La paura del sisma lasciò spazio alla meraviglia per il prodigio in sé e anche per alcune grazie e guarigioni attribuite all'immagine mariana, che nel giro di pochi giorni fu portata in duomo, dove gli aretini realizzarono poi un'apposita cappella dedicata alla Madonna del Conforto, cui si accede attraverso una cancellata sovrastata dalla scritta: «Confortetur cor tuum: ecce Mater tua» («Si rinfranchi il tuo cuore: ecco tua Madre»).Di lì a poco la Madonna del Conforto dovette prestare conforto agli aretini e a tutte le popolazioni toscane. In quello stesso 1796 Napoleone Bonaparte dava inizio alla Campagna d'Italia, volta ad esportare forzatamente i principi rivoluzionari nella penisola, laicizzandone le istituzioni: iniziava il cosiddetto "triennio giacobino" (1796-1799). L'invasione delle truppe napoleoniche fu accompagnata da una serie di prodigi ben ricostruiti da Vittorio Messori e Rino Cammilleri nel volume Gli occhi di Maria. Roma 1796: prodigi nell'Italia invasa da Napoleone (nuova ed. aggiornata, Edizioni Ares, Milano 2023). Da Ancona, dove si verificò il primo fenomeno il 25 giugno, a Todi, a Frosinone, passando per la Città Eterna, innumerevoli immagini mossero gli occhi o cambiarono espressione, quasi a lanciare un "allarme" celeste sulla persecuzione scatenata in nome dei "Lumi". Allarme di cui il fenomeno aretino costituisce non solo un preludio.IL PREMIO VIVA MARIAIn Toscana i principi rivoluzionari erano già nell'aria sotto il granducato di Pietro Leopoldo (asceso poi al trono imperiale nel 1790) e il "conciliabolo" tenuto dal vescovo giansenista di Pistoia, Scipione de' Ricci. Inizialmente il Granducato si era salvato dai francesi, che nel 1796 avevano preso la sola Livorno. Nel resto della penisola avevano già avviato il forzato "cambio di paradigma": via la croce, su l'albero della libertà, proclamando repubbliche ispirate ai nuovi ideali, non senza scatenare l'insurrezione - o meglio, l'insorgenza - delle popolazioni legate alle tradizioni e alla fede dei padri. Come avvenne anche in Toscana, quando il 25 marzo 1799 Firenze fu occupata dai francesi, che il 6 aprile giunsero ad Arezzo. E la popolazione insorse, al grido di "Viva Maria!", liberando il Granducato dagli occcupanti con la guida del diplomatico inglese William Frederic Wyndham, dell'ufficiale dei dragoni Lorenzo Mari... e della Madonna del Conforto, effigiata sui loro stendardi.Una storia e un'immagine che, pur nelle mutate circostanze, ci riguardano ancora da vicino: «Il premio», come scriveva nel 2014 don Stefano Bimbi, «è simbolicamente rappresentato da una perfetta riproduzione della Vergine del Conforto. Il motivo per cui è stato chiamato "Viva Maria!" questo premio è evidente: come ai tempi di Napoleone, è in atto un attacco alla fede cattolica. Ora come allora c'è bisogno che ci sia un forte movimento di popolo che difenda la Chiesa da questi attacchi». Quale che sia la buona battaglia (di ieri o di oggi), la Madonna del Conforto continua ad essere una luce per attraversare tempi oscuri.

San Benigno, quien vivió en la mitad del siglo III, dedicó toda su vida a servir a los demás cristianos perseguidos por los emperadores Maximiano y Diocleciano. Después de un tiempo decidió no esconderse más y predicó con fuerza su amor a Cristo y exhortó a los paganos a dejar la idolatría. Finalmente lo atrapan y lo decapitan, entrando así a la vida eterna.

Our back road drive to Todi in Umbria was picture perfect, as was our stay in a renovated small castle. One wrong step off the road did result in a broken wrist for our friend, but she was a trooper and carried on to the medieval festival in Todi, along with lunch and aperol spritzs for pain management! Tommaso and Kimberly drove to the very old, and very small village of Montefalco and were pleasantly surprised to not run across a single other tourist – a welcome relief after the 4 days in Firenze. Umbria's landscape differs from Tuscany's, but it is also captivating and worthy of driving on back roads, which is the best way to see Italy's stunning countryside. https://www.kimberlysitaly.com Instagram Facebook 

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Third Week of Advent Lectionary: 198The Saint of the day is Blessed Jacopone da TodiJacopone da Todi's Story Jacomo or James, was born a noble member of the Benedetti family in the northern Italian city of Todi. He became a successful lawyer and married a pious, generous lady named Vanna. His young wife took it upon herself to do penance for the worldly excesses of her husband. One day Vanna, at the insistence of Jacomo, attended a public tournament. She was sitting in the stands with the other noble ladies when the stands collapsed. Vanna was killed. Her shaken husband was even more disturbed when he realized that the penitential girdle she wore was for his sinfulness. On the spot, he vowed to radically change his life. Jacomo divided his possessions among the poor and entered the Secular Franciscan Order. Often dressed in penitential rags, he was mocked as a fool and called Jacopone, or “Crazy Jim,” by his former associates. The name became dear to him. After 10 years of such humiliation, Jacopone asked to be received into the Order of Friars Minor. Because of his reputation, his request was initially refused. He composed a beautiful poem on the vanities of the world, an act that eventually led to his admission into the Order in 1278.

Partendo da una lauda di Jacopone da Todi, passiamo velocemente in rassegna i più importanti generi della letteratura religiosa, dall'exemplum all'agiografia. Il componimento inscena l'anima che propone al corpo di digiunare ed espiare per mezzo della sofferenze, mentre il corpo scongiura l'anima di cambiare idea, risparmiandosi l'esperienza del dolore e della privazione. Questa scena offre lo spunto di un approfondimento in varie direzioni, dalla filosofia all'arte, per portare alla luce un certo paradigma culturale già presente nel mondo antico, che, reinterpretato dal cristianesimo, è giunto pressoché intatto fino a noi. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stefanodambrosio/message

Friends of the Rosary:September is the month of Our Lady of Sorrows, Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, in Spanish. The sorrow of the Blessed Mother was immeasurable. It was surpassed only by her love. Her love was even stronger than death. It made her able to support the cruel death of Jesus Christ. The Stabat Mater — a 13th-century Latin hymn written by Franciscan friar and poet Jacopone da Todi — focused on the sorrow of the Virgin Mary during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It proclaimed: "O Mother... make me feel the depth of your sorrow, so that I may weep with you. May I bear in my heart the wounds of Christ; make me share in His Passion and become inebriated by the Cross and Blood of your Son."Let's contemplate Mary's sorrows and ask her for the grace of sharing with her in the Passion of Jesus. This participation should lead us to real compassion, that is, to suffering with Jesus and Mary.  The Fathers of the Church said that the sight of Mary at the foot of the Cross makes the lesson of the Cross less hard and less bitter. Her maternal example encourages us to suffer and makes the road to Calvary easier. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠September 6, 2023, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Tucked into the middle of the Italian peninsula is the verdant, hilly land of Umbria. This small province is overshadowed by its neighbor, Tuscany, for many things, but Umbria has history, culture, and wine all its own. In this show, we explore the long history of Umbrian wine, what makes the province unique in its grapes and wine styles, and why Umbrian wine is too often unfairly forgotten in the pantheon of great wines of Italy. We review the three major wine regions of Umbria – Orvieto, Torgiano, and Montefalco – and give many reasons to give these wines a try.  Photo: Umbrian countryside. Getty Images  Here are the show notes: As of January 2023, Umbria has just 2 DOCGs, 13 DOCs, and 6 IGPs, 48% is DOP wine, 42% IGP, 10% table wine. 12,400 ha (30,600 acres) is 7.2 million cases of wine The main grapes of the region are: Sangiovese, Trebbiano Toscano, Grechetto, Sagrantino   Umbria has had winemaking for more than 3000 years   Climate: Landlocked Umbria has no sea breeze, although its lakes do help moderate the temperatures. The climate varies, but is mostly Mediterranean with cold, rainy winters and dry summers with abundant sunshine to ripen grapes   Photo: Chiesa in Assisi. Getty Images  Land Umbria is 29% Mtns, 71% hills, no plains. Most vineyards are on terraces cut into hillsides. The vineyards have good diurnals, which maintains acidity. Umbria is the only Italian region with no coastline nor a common border with another country. It is partly hilly and mountainous from the Apennines, and partly flat and fertile from the Tiber River Valley and the Umbrian valley around Perugia     Grapes: 53% red/rose, 47% white Sangiovese 20% of plantings, Trebbiano Toscano –12%, Grechetto 11%, Sagrantino 7%   Whites: Grechetto is two distinct grape varieties, Grechetto di Orvieto and Grechetto di Todi Grechetto di Orvieto: is light bodied, high in acidity with apple, pear, citrus, white flower notes Grechetto di Todi is Pignoletto (called that in Emilia Romagna). It is very floral with a soft mouthfeel Trebbiano Spoletino: Only found in Umbria around Spoleto and Montefalco. This wine is like limes, it can range from light to heavy and high in alcohol and can be barrel aged, or made into orange wine – no set identity Reds: Sangiovese and Sagrantino with Colorino, Mammolo, Vernaccia Nera International grapes: Cab, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc for, Umbria Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT)   Photo: Sagrantino. Getty Images  Orvieto Producing wine since the Middle Ages when it was a famed sweet wine, today this wine is more of a dry white. Despite a long history, Orvieto was the victim of overproduction in the 1960s and its reputation suffered There are many styles and it is Umbria's biggest appellation – 10%+ of all Umbrian wine production Known for whites made of mostly Trebbiano and Grechetto, DOC Orvieto and Orvieto Classico. Other grapes include: Malvasia Bianco, Drupeggio, Verdello, Canaiolo bianco Styles: very simple and boring from Trebbiano or wines that use more Grechetto Red wine and 8 varietal wines sold under Rosso Orvietano DOC—French grapes plust Aleatico, Barbera, Canaiolo, Colorino, Dolcetto, Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Cesanese, Ciliegiolo   Torgiano Wine made in hills around Torgiano, southeast of Perugia where a tributary joins Tiber River Torgiano DOC is 81 ha/200 acres, 40K cases Whites: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Trebbiano, Riesling Italico (Welschriesling) (Labeled by grape, 85%+ of grape in bottle), Torgiano Bianco – 50-70% Trebbiano Toscano with Grechetto Reds: Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Nero, Sangiovese (known for elegance, high-quality Sangiovese).

“It's more about seeing a different way of eating, cooking, experiencing life. Experiencing Italy. When we go to visit a local farmer who makes cheese, wine, olive oil, that you can see that you can live in a different way.” We're in great company with Thomas Tviis Hansen, of Danish origins, whose love for Italian food, wine and hospitality led him and his wife Lisbeth to create Il Ghiottone Umbro nestled in the medieval Umbrian hilltop town of Todi. Having previously owned and operated an Italian restaurant and enoteca in Copenhagen for over a decade, Thomas and Lisbeth were ready for a new adventure come 2010. One that brought them closer to the roots of this fantastic “cucina” that had filled their lives with joy for so many years. In this episode, Thomas shares how together they renovated an old stone building into a light and airy home where they welcome guests to experience the simplicity, honesty and fantastic taste of the Italian Kitchen. Top Takeaways [1:34] From owning an Italian inspired restaurant in Copenhagen to venturing to the source, what inspired Thomas and his wife Lisbeth to move to Italy. [7:00] Considered “Tuscany's little sister”, the undeveloped and real nature of Umbria as a culinary destination. [7:45] Missing the culinary scene in Denmark, Thomas crafts non-traditional Italian dishes that even his neighbors can't resist. [11:45] The humor behind the name “The Umbrian Glutton” and its different meanings in English, Danish and Italian. [13:30] Thomas and Lisbeth's Danish minimalist design shines bright in contrast to their home's historical stone building. [15:30] The beauty in Il Ghiottone Umbro being on the cusp of countryside and the corner of town. [17:15] “I'm allergic to hotel buffets.” What to expect from Thomas's breakfast menu that changes daily. [19:15] How a Cooking Stay introduces guests to a different way of eating, cooking, experiencing local produce and pasture to live in a different way. [23:18] Thomas and Lisbeth's Kitchen Notes are a bundle of Italian seasonal recipes…with a twist. [26:26] What to expect from the seasonal harvest in the Umbrian countryside. [28:26] Todi is a beautiful hilltop town that truly feels alive with locals living their daily lives. [37:30] What a different perspective a small and slow stay can give to your travels, like Thomas & Lisbeth's recent trip to Venice.

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Fourth Week of Advent Lectionary: 198The Saint of the day is Blessed Jacopone da TodiJacopone da Todi's Story Jacomo or James, was born a noble member of the Benedetti family in the northern Italian city of Todi. He became a successful lawyer and married a pious, generous lady named Vanna. His young wife took it upon herself to do penance for the worldly excesses of her husband. One day Vanna, at the insistence of Jacomo, attended a public tournament. She was sitting in the stands with the other noble ladies when the stands collapsed. Vanna was killed. Her shaken husband was even more disturbed when he realized that the penitential girdle she wore was for his sinfulness. On the spot, he vowed to radically change his life. Jacomo divided his possessions among the poor and entered the Secular Franciscan Order. Often dressed in penitential rags, he was mocked as a fool and called Jacopone, or “Crazy Jim,” by his former associates. The name became dear to him. After 10 years of such humiliation, Jacopone asked to be received into the Order of Friars Minor. Because of his reputation, his request was initially refused. He composed a beautiful poem on the vanities of the world, an act that eventually led to his admission into the Order in 1278. He continued to lead a life of strict penance, declining to be ordained a priest. Meanwhile, he was writing popular hymns in the vernacular. Jacopone suddenly found himself a leader in a disturbing religious movement among the Franciscans. The Spirituals, as they were called, wanted a return to the strict poverty of Francis. They had on their side two cardinals of the Church and Pope Celestine V. These two cardinals though, opposed Celestine's successor, Boniface VIII. At the age of 68, Jacopone was excommunicated and imprisoned. Although he acknowledged his mistake, Jacopone was not absolved and released until Benedict XI became pope five years later. He had accepted his imprisonment as penance. He spent the final three years of his life more spiritual than ever, weeping “because Love is not loved.” During this time he wrote the famous Latin hymn, Stabat Mater. On Christmas Eve in 1306, Jacopone felt that his end was near. He was in a convent of the Poor Clares with his friend, Blessed John of La Verna. Like Francis, Jacopone welcomed “Sister Death” with one of his favorite songs. It is said that he finished the song and died as the priest intoned the “Gloria” from the midnight Mass at Christmas. From the time of his death Brother Jacopone has been venerated as a saint. Reflection His contemporaries called Jacopone, “Crazy Jim.” We might well echo their taunt, for what else can you say about a man who broke into song in the midst of all his troubles? We still sing Jacopone's saddest song, the Stabat Mater, but we Christians claim another song as our own, even when the daily headlines resound with discordant notes. Jacopone's whole life rang out our song: “Alleluia!” May he inspire us to keep singing. Click here for more on Blessed Jacopone! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Join Suzanne Hill and travel writer Natascha Mirosch on a journey to the Italian island of Ponza and the hilltop village of Todi.  

Eruch Jessawala - Jul 24, 1988

The villages of Orvieto and Todi in southwest Umbria are quite simply, fantastic! Orvieto's crown jewel is the Duomo from 1290, yet two-thirds of it's exterior is so contemporary it's hard to believe it's 732 years old! This hilltop small city should be on your list to visit for the visuals alone, not to mention the underground city carved from the volcanic rock, the cuisine and of course the people. Teh village of Todi has the distinction of being called One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy, and rightfully so. It's a perfectly preserved teeny village that looks as if it stepped right out of the middle ages. It's a wonder to visit, but even more special extraordinary if you stay the night. You will be happy you did.

Aldo Berti"Tarda serata di un fauno"Neos Edizionihttp://www.neosedizioni.it/Il parco del Valentino, i suoi frequentatori, un anziano professore alle prese con la serata della sua esistenza, due giovani donne invadenti e vitali. Sono questi gli ingredienti per un inconsueto romanzo in versi ironico e dolce-amaro, che convince il lettore con l'attualità del tema e con il suo ritmo antico.Aldo Berti, poeta e drammaturgo di lungo corso, con quest'opera propone una lettura certo non comune ai nostri giorni. Come scrive Rossella Lamberti nella sua prefazione, “destreggiandosi sapientemente con una misurata metrica classica, l'autore dipinge senza infingimenti e senza abbellimenti le povere gioie e le miserie di una fase della vita, la vecchiaia, oggi più che mai taciuta e misconosciuta. I colori struggenti dell'autunno fanno da sfondo a una vicenda in cui non c'è posto per il pietismo … e in cui la dolente autoironia si intreccia alla consapevolezza di tutto ciò che, con la giovinezza, è andato irrimediabilmente perduto”.Un'altra mattina autunnalecon tiepido soleche rende clemente un ottobregià freddo. Pochissima gentenel parco; il silenzio è infinitoed il prof Alemannisi ferma a guardar dalla partedel fiume: due giovani voganoa ritmo perfetto. L'affondodei remi nell'acquaaccresce il gran senso di quiete.La gente a quest'ora è già a casache pranza. Ma il prof Alemanninon sente l'urgenzadi cose da fare o di orari.Ha solo un pochino più freddo,anche dentro. I giorni trascorronosenza bisogno di esser spuntatisu alcun calendario.Aldo Berti, romano di nascita (1947) ma torinese di adozione, pubblica i suoi primi versi a diciotto anni, a cura della RAI, con la casa editrice Villar di Roma. Nel 1982 con il radiodramma Piazza del circo vince il Concorso Nazionale RAI per Radiodrammi. Dal 1986 la compagnia teatrale Il teatro delle Dieci, diretta da Massimo Scaglione, rappresenta a Torino una serie di suoi monologhi, due dei quali vincono nel 1990 e nel 1991 il concorso “Parlare da soli” indetto dallo SNAD di Roma. Nel 1994 vince il concorso per radiodrammi “Incontrarsi nel mondo”, indetto da RAI International, con Il buon commerciante, che viene rappresentato al Festival Teatrale di Todi a cura dell'IDI. Come poeta pubblica con Genesi Editrice la raccolta poetica Anche se quattro nemici (1998) e il poema Una perla d'uomo (2002). Nel 2011 scrive i testi del musical I miracoli esistono, rappresentato al Teatro Nuovo di Torino. Nel 2012 vince il 1° premio al “Concorso Mario Soldati” indetto dal Centro Mario Pannunzio di Torino e pubblica il poemetto Un eroe in fumo (GEDI).

Link to the Music: https://tinyurl.com/stabatsolemnIn this episode, Giorgio and Joe sing a less well known, more difficult version of the Stabat Mater, in which there is a new melody every two verses.Considered by many to be one of the greatest Latin hymns ever written, the Stabat Mater Dolorosa tells the story of the sorrows of Mary during her Son's passion, and puts the singer in the position of begging to accompany her in those sorrows. Written in the 13th century, likely either by Pope Innocent the III or by a Fransiscan Friar: Jacopo da Todi.He's an interesting fellow, who was a very wealthy and successful lawyer, got a reputation for being worldly and greedy, married a pious woman who dedicated her life to penance and prayer for her wicked husband. When she died, Jacopo discovered that she had been wearing a hair-shirt at the time of her death, and he realized it was for his sake. He gave up all his earthly possesions, and joined the Fransiscans and was one of the more…Fransiscan of them…doing all kinds of weird things like crawling around the piazza wearing a saddle, and showing up to his brothers wedding tarred and feathered.The Stabat Mater is actually one of a pair of hymns that he wrote to the Blessed Mother. The other was almost lost to history, but was rediscovered in the 18th century: Stabat Mater Speciosa – which sings of the birth of Jesus in the same style that the Dolorosa sings of His Passion: from the perspective of Mary, and begging to be admitted to her great joy just as in the Dolorosa we beg to be joined to her great sorrow.At the Cross her station keeping, Stood the mournful Mother weeping, Close to Jesus to the last:Through her heart, his sorrow sharing, All his bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has pass'd.Oh, how sad and sore distress'd Was that Mother highly blest Of the sole-begotten One!Christ above in torment hangs; She beneath beholds the pangs Of her dying glorious Son.Is there one who would not weep, Whelm'd in miseries so deep, Christ's dear Mother to behold?Can the human heart refrain From partaking in her pain, In that Mother's pain untold?Bruis'd, derided, curs'd, defil'd, She beheld her tender Child All with bloody scourges rent;For the sins of his own nation, Saw Him hang in desolation, Till His Spirit forth He sent. O thou Mother! fount of love! Touch my spirit from above, Make my heart with thine accord:Make me feel as thou hast felt; Make my soul to glow and melt With the love of Christ my Lord.Holy Mother! pierce me through; In my heart each wound renew Of my Saviour crucified:Let me share with thee His pain, Who for all my sins was slain, Who for me in torments died.Let me mingle tears with thee, Mourning Him who mourn'd for me, All the days that I may live:By the Cross with thee to stay; There with thee to weep and pray; Is all I ask of thee to give.Virgin of all virgins blest!, Listen to my fond request: Let me share thy grief divine;Let me, to my latest breath, In my body bear the death Of that dying Son of thine.Wounded with his every wound, Steep my soul till it hath swoon'd, In His very blood away;Be to me, O Virgin, nigh, Lest in flames I burn and die, In his awful Judgment day.Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence, Be Thy Mother my defence, Be Thy Cross my victory;While my body here decays, May my soul thy goodness praise, Safe in Paradise with Thee.

Florence, it takes less then 3 hours to reach Florence by train from Rome and Florence is a small walkable town, so you don't need transportation to get around, however, you can still take a taxi when you get tired. Anyway, Florence is small, but to make the best out of your visit, it's advisable to hire a guide. Your guide would meet you at the train station, which is in the center of the city, ant take you on 3-hour tour covering the city's major highlights. Of course, you can extend your time with the guide to include a large museum in your tour, like the Uffizi or Pitti Palace. Pompeii and Amalfi Coast, for a small group with less than 3 people, it is convenient to take a train from Rome to Naples and, once there meet a driver/guide for the tour along the beautiful, world famous, coast. For larger groups, going on this day trip with a driver-guide starting from Rome is more convenient than doing part of the trip by train. First because you don't have to worry about finding your way to the train station and all that, and also because the cost of the train tickets added the fare for the driver-guide for the tour along the coast from Naples, for a group of 4 people, equals the cost of the driver-guide for the day. I need to bring to your attention that, though the driver-guide may be well experienced and speaking good English, he cannot take you on a tour inside the excavations of Pompeii, you'll need to hire a local guide for this.  Orvieto and Assisi, it's not possible to do this by train in a day, this is something you need to hire a driver/guide for. The drive to Orvieto takes less than 1.5 hours and, once there, you can enjoy visiting the Cathedral which is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy and strolling around this beautiful, quaint, small town. After a quick lunch break, you get back in the minivan and head for Assisi taking the scenic route along the course of the Tiber River. If time allows it, you can stop briefly in Todi on the way. Once in Assisi, you'll visit the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and that of St. Francis. Your driver-guide, though well experienced and speaking good English, cannot take you on a tour inside the basilicas, you'll need to hire a local guide for this. https://mybesttour.com/tour/car-tour/#daytrips (https://mybesttour.com/tour/car-tour/#daytrips)  In addition to the possible destinations mentioned in the answers to Question 6 (Day 3), Tivoli, Castelgandolfo and Ostia Antica, which can be combined into a full day excursion, hereunder we list several other places 1 or 2 hours away from Rome:  Tivoli, Villa D'Este and Hadrian's Villa. Besides Villa D'Este, there's also another place to visit in Tivoli and that's Hadrian's Villa. The tour of Villa D'Este takes about an hour and a half, the tour of Hadrian's Villa takes just as long, and the two are a few kilometers apart. Therefore, it's almost impossible to visit both places in a half-day, but in 6 hours you can do it and you also have time for some lunch between the two visits.   The Catacombs an Castelgandolfo. This is another 6-hour tour covering the Catacombs which are in Rome, but far from the center, and Castelgandolfo which is about 30 minutes away from the city. Castelgandolfo is a lovely small town on top of the rim of volcanic lake and it's been the popes' summer residence since the 17th century. The area is called the Alban Hills or Roman Castles and it's always been renowned for the good food and wines, so it wouldn't be bad idea to have lunch in one of the many good restaurants in the area. Wine lovers can walk around the town's wine shops and sample the local wines. https://mybesttour.com/tour/car-tour/#6hour (https://mybesttour.com/tour/car-tour/#6hour) The Park of Monsters and Tarot Garden. The Park of Monsters is a sort of private amusement park built in the 16th century in the lovely region of Umbria and it takes about an hour and a half to reach it from...
