Gloves off for Adam Gilchrist
Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Broadcast: 28/01/2008
Adam Gilchrist has etched his name in sporting history as the man who reinvented the role of the wicketkeeper. Today he'll hang up his gloves in test cricket and officially retire after the one-day series. Many believe it was the spirit with which he played the game that is his greatest legacy.
TranscriptHEATHER EWART: Adam Gilchrist has etched his name in cricket history as the man who reinvented the role of the wicketkeeper. Today at the Adelaide Oval, he hung up his gloves after 96 consecutive Test matches and will officially retire after the one day series next month. While he leaves the sport with the most dismissals by a keeper and the highest strike rate in history, many believe it's the spirit with which he played the game that's his greatest legacy.
Mike Sexton reports.
DAMIEN FLEMING, FORMER TEAM-MATE: He played the game like we do in the backyard, really, where you just continue to back yourself and regardless of the situation.
MIKE SEXTON: He grew up playing on concrete pitches in country New South Wales, and despite his staggering achievements, Adam Gilchrist never seemed to lose that childlike love of the game.
MIKE COWARD, CRICKET WRITER, THE AUSTRALIAN: He was such an exceptional man, upheld the spirit of the game wherever he played and so young people everywhere can aspire to playing like he played and also aspire to playing with the spirit in which he played.
COMMENTATOR: Ah what's that? There's a little noise. It's out!
MIKE SEXTON: Today's draw in Adelaide in his final Test is a complete contrast to the dazzling memories Adam Gilchrist has given cricket lovers. After serving a long apprenticeship behind Ian Healy he came into the side in 1999 and announced his intentions in his second Test at Hobart.
COMMENTATOR: Straight down the ground. That'll be it. What a beautiful shot.
DAMIEN FLEMING: We needed 350 on the last day playing Pakistan with Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar and Saqlain Mushtaq. So we're thinking, we're booking flights out at about 3 o'clock that day and Gilchrist got 149 not out with Justin Langer, chased down the total and I think that was the first time we all, team-mates looked at each other and goes, "geez, I think we've got a good one here, this one's going to be special".
COMMENTATOR: There he goes. How good's that?
MIKE SEXTON: What made him special was his clean, free hitting that changed the role of the wicketkeeper. Rather than coming in at number seven and grinding out a few runs with the tail, Gilchrist demoralised opponents with his fearless batting.
COMMENTATOR: Goes again, that's even better.
JOHN BUCHANAN, FORMER AUSTRALIAN CRICKET COACH: He is a game changer. He is a benchmark setter. I mean, in games Gillie was that sort of person who could turn a game with the flick of a couple of strokes. He'd move from 0 to 100 in a very short period of time. He had the capacity to take games away from an opposition very, very quickly.
MIKE SEXTON: His 149 off 104 balls in the World Cup final last year was a brutal reminder of his ability as a one day opener and while his highlights are mostly with the bat, former team-mate Damien Fleming says his keeping was underrated.
DAMIEN FLEMING: It was about six-one, six-two, long wing span. So he used to take some catches that short dumpy keepers like Ian Healy - he was a great keeper - you know, just couldn't get to. So, yeah, also because his batting was that good, you'd think that you'd want his keeping to be that standard. Now it wasn't quite up to his standard, the batting standard, but still a very competent keeper.
MIKE SEXTON: At the 2003 World Cup, Gilchrist won many admirers, not with his gloves or bat but with his feet when he walked against a cut-throat semifinal against Sri Lanka.
COMMENTATOR: He's walking! He's walking! Wow. There we are. That's great to see.
MIKE COWARD: He stuck to his guns. I mean, some of the players within the side were fairly uneasy about it, because it hasn't been an Australian tradition by any means, but he's a man of enormous conviction, believes in himself and he maintained that standard right through and more power to him. But as Ricky Ponting made it patently clear, it wasn't going to be team policy.
MIKE SEXTON: By upholding what purists believe to be the spirit of the game, Gilchrist was a popular figure to replace Steve Waugh as captain, but some believe his sheer workload of batting and keeping put that out of reach.
MIKE COWARD: I don't think there's any doubt, Michael, that he would have been Australian captain in 2004. In a way he suffered because of his prodigious talent as a cricketer. Had he not been so prodigiously talented he may well have captained the side right through since, from the time that Ponting took over.
MIKE SEXTON: Perhaps one of Adam Gilchrist's greatest achievements was the rare occasion when he did stand in to captain Australia, winning three Tests in India in 2004 to take a series there for the first time in 34 years.
JIM MAXWELL, ABC CRICKET COMMENTATOR: Captaining a team as a wicketkeeper is a very difficult assignment but in those conditions and all the distractions that were about, it was a remarkable event and the explosion of emotion from him when Australia won in Nagpur was memorable.
ADAM GILCHRIST, RETIRING AUSTRALIAN WICKETKEEPER: Oh very proud, yeah, not just personally but as a group. The last 12, 15, 20 years it's been a dominant force, Australian cricket, which to be amongst that membership, that elite membership has been a huge privilege and something that, you're right, I am and we are all very proud of.
MIKE SEXTON: But in the past 12 months Australia has lost three of the most brilliant players in its history - Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne and now Adam Gilchrist.
JOHN BUCHANAN: He has redefined this role of wicketkeeper/batsman. So when selectors sit down to pick a keeper in future, it is about realising that their keeper should be a batsman. He's an all rounder, he's the greatest all rounder that we have seen.
(crowd applause)
MIKE SEXTON: As Gilchrist came off the Adelaide Oval tonight awash with emotion, his former coach, John Buchanan, paid tribute to the keeper, saying he leaves a bigger hole in the side than either McGrath or Warne.
JOHN BUCHANAN: Gillie weighs in with his style, his personality, his ability to move between all people within that cricket team.
ADAM GILCHRIST: All Dad did was encourage me to hit the ball, just go out there and as you say, entertain and I think that's what we try to do in the modern game. Not just me, not just the Australian team, I think the world over, that the game has changed.

Great price and nice job on the grip mods!
This is a discussion on Good deal on a GLOCK 19 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I just bought a G-19 from a ex workmate for $400.00 With Glock light, 4 mags, a NY 1 spring, 3.5lb connector (both of which ...
I just bought a G-19 from a ex workmate for $400.00 With Glock light, 4 mags, a NY 1 spring, 3.5lb connector (both of which I installed for Mr. Mall Ninja, as I like to refer to him behind his back!) and a "Tactical Thigh Rig" hence the Mall Ninja title. I guess the thigh rig will be good when the ZOMBIES come. Shes 7 months old and I've been out with him every time he's shot her. Were lookin at a total of 250 rounds thru her. YAY, finally got a smokin deal on a Glock! Anyhoo, after strippin it down cleaning everything, not that it needed it just something I do with any new gun. I removed the dang finger grooves and back strap stippling. Then out came the soldering iron and the razor knife. I've done a few guns and this I feel is my best work. Not necessarily looks but function. Looks pretty swell too. I think it took me about 3.5 hours to do this one. I used a fine wood burning tip and I filed it to a sharp point. Just tap, tap, tapparoo! I then burned a letter system on each of my mags so I can tell them apart. Now that I'm workin at a gun shop part time I'm gonna stock up on mags, at $13.00 a piece new I gotta have LOTS (especially if Hillary gets into office!) After I finish paying off my Mini I'm going to get a set of XS standard dot sights and a lasermax for the G-19. Yes I know I suck at photography.
Great price and nice job on the grip mods!
"The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization." Sigmund Freud
Nice job on the grips. Did you also narrow the trigger guard near the mag release? Add the standard dot 24/7's and you'll have the ideal carry gun. Now I have gun envy.

Thanks for the compliments. I did round and undercut the trigger guard. It grips a lot better now.

Looks great! I've always wanted to hold/shoot a gun with such grip mods. If you plan on carrying it, what holster are you going to use? I would imagine that grip modification could be uncomfortable when carrying IWB with certain holsters.(skin/frame contact)

A/N: Thanks for the feedback as always. I know some of you are mad at me for killing Tara. In a quick defense of the decision, the show beautifully tackled how Willow went dark because of vengeance and anger. For sake of the storyline that becomes more prominent in the sequel and this story as well, I wanted Willow to have more of an addiction to magic where she does some really irreparable things to her friends around her and she's going to be driven more by guilt then the original Willow.
Chapter Ten: I'm What You Let In
Later that night every step Buffy took to her bedroom felt like she was walking in cement. The whole house felt dead and every breath Buffy took was temptation to let the tears spill over. She had barely wanted to leave the house to see Faith and Angel and ever since then, things were clearly spiraling out of her control. It was only in the quiet moments when she was really alone did she allow her brain to just accept the numbing quiet she needed right now more then anything. But the realities of what had happened in the last forty eight hours kept replaying like an old movie she could not get to end.
She had told her friends.
Giles was here.
Willow had killed Tara.
Having everyone in the house was more of gift then she thought. She always had someone looking at her, forcing Buffy to place some kind of emotion on her face. Unless Spike looked at her and her heart would break. Because he knew she was pretending and he would cock his head a bit as if he was curious as to what she was thinking. Then his eyes would soften and she felt something in those moments that gave her more strength then she could imagine. It was the only thing that held her together.
Willow had cried herself to sleep and Oz had went to comfort her. Even though there was no comfort anyone could provide her that would fill the void she felt. Buffy knew that. God, she missed her mother.
She told her friends.
Giles was here.
Willow had killed Tara.
The worst part was that the responsibility she so resented was causing her to feel sharp pangs of guilt. How had she let Willow slip so far away? Was Tara's death partly her fault too?
Her vision blurred as the tears started to surface. Buffy placed a hand on her mouth to muffle an anguished cry, racing into her room. The pain quickly turned to anger and Buffy wanted to hit something. Before she could think rationally, she saw red and pulled back her arm to swing at the lamp. Her fist never made impact and she whirled on her heels to find Spike gripping her elbow.
"Love," he sighed. "You'll hurt yourself."
She roughly pushed herself away from him. "Don't tell me that! I can't-"
Her breath was coming out in short erratic spurts as she struggled to articulate all that was inside of her. Spike went to grab her again but stopped when he saw the defiance in her eyes. "Buffy-"
"I'll hurt myself?" she screamed at him. "I'm not weak. I'm not-I need to feel something real, Spike. Even if it's pain. I need to grab something and snap it's neck. I need-"
And she froze as she had realized what she had said and realized what she had said was the ultimate truth. "I need a reason to be here. I feel like I'm just taking up space and watching everything I care about fall to pieces. Nothing is the same and I can't reverse that Willow is slipping away or you have a soul or that Giles left or that Faith is being the normal one in this whole thing," she ranted. "I'm not the same and I feel that, Spike. I have no mission or anything. I don't have a damn thing!"
Spike watched her intently, knowing this wasn't his turn to speak.
"Giles is right. What did I think was going to happen? I'd get an office job and bake cookies? Raise fat little vampire babies and pretend that everything is OK?"
Spike smirked at her. "Vampire babies?"
Buffy froze, then blushed furiously. "I didn't literally mean-"
"Do our vampire babies have names?" he teased.
HIs blue eyes were dancing with amusement and Buffy couldn't help but smile a little. The boiling frustration was ebbing inside of her and his smug expression was almost cute. "No," she mumbled. "They don't."
"Giles knows about us," Spike said hesitantly. "Which is more then I can say for myself."
His eyes searched hers and Buffy looked down. "Oh. The talk."
"Your mates don't want to stake me as much as they used to. I'm still sneaking in windows like your dirty little secret," he whispered. Buffy immediately felt guilty when she heard the twinge of hurt in his voice.
"Spike," she sighed. "I don't know what I can give you. You've done so much for me already and I'm just so...incomplete."
Spike lifted his chin with his fingers and said almost angrily, "Do you have any inkling what you've given me these last couple days? I hold you and it's a revelation. I feel close to you and I've never felt that with anyone since I've been walking this earth besides my mum. I'm in pieces too, love."
Buffy blinked away tears. "I don't want to hurt you."
"I don't need a definition. I just need to know you're with me," he whispered. His forehead pressed against hers and while in this moment he wanted nothing more to kiss her, he didn't want to scare her off.
"I'm with you. It's probably the only thing I'm sure of," she confessed. Her hand snaked to intertwine with his. "No more windows."
Spike tried to contain a smile but was unable to. He kissed her forehead gently and pulled away from her slightly. "I been keeping something from you. It's a potion that Angel was able to get. You could have your powers back but I don't know what exactly it does. How it works and all."
"You had it this whole time?" she hissed.
"You didn't seem like you'd be interested," he replied honestly. "Was waiting for a right time but then there never was one."
She seemed to accept his explanation. "I want it," she whispered. He wouldn't have heard her if it wasn't for his enhanced senses. "Where is it?"
In the other room Willow had woken up in a cold sweat. She gently removed herself from Oz's loose sleeping embrace and robotically began to head to the bathroom. None of this mattered, she thought coldly. Tara was gone. She closed the door behind her and caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She felt sick-
And almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Tara behind her in the reflection. She whipped around expected her to be a guilt induced vision. Instead she was still there. All the air left Willow's lungs and tears sprung to her eyes.
"Tara," she squeaked out. On instinct she reached out for the touch she hadn't felt even before Tara had passed. The words 'I miss you' seemed beyond an understatement and a travesty of the feelings Willow actually felt. Tara pulled away as if repulsed by her.
"You can't touch me because of what you did," Tara whispered.
Willow recoiled. "I'm sorry. Where are you? How are you here?"
"I need to warn you."
"But I haven't used since that night!" Willow protested. "I'm done with magic. I know that I got that too late. I know that...it's my fault that you're gone," and Willow almost choked on the words. "But I'll beat this and I'll make you proud."
Tara frowned deeply and shook her head. "I saw what you did."
"I don't understand," Willow almost screamed in frustration.
Tara stepped closer and Willow almost fainted when her familiar scent filled her senses. The pull was too strong. The pull to hold Tara or just sink into the pit of darkness that was beneath Willow's feet. "I watched you kill them. You're dangerous, Willow."
Willow's blood ran cold. "Kill who?"
"Everyone," she replied sadly. "The magic is stronger than you. I don't want you to slip away. I want you to be with me so we can be at peace. So we can be together the way we were supposed to be."
"How can I do that?" Willow whispered, utterly confused. "That's not-"
"You know how," Tara said, her eyes downcast. They rose slowly to meet Willow's then guided both their gazes to a discarded razor on the kitchen sink. "It will only hurt for a second."
Willow stumbled back, her body slamming into the sink as she tried to back away from the vision in front of her. "Who are you?"
Tara snickered and a dangerous gleam sparked in her eyes. "Did I go too far? The image of your dead girlfriend asking you to kiss this horrible world goodbye? Maybe I underestimated how pathetic you are."
"Who. Are. You?"
'Tara' turned into a version of Buffy, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes sarcastically. "Well you caught me. I'm what you let in when you bought her back. The world was literally a better place without her in it. But if I have my way there won't be very much of your little merry band of misfits when I'm through. Actually, technically I was always here but you-"
And Buffy laughed for a bit. "Let's just say I get to play now instead of being locked inside the house."
Willow wanted to dispute the words but something inside her knew them to be true. She could feel what little energy she had trying to use magic in case she needed to defend herself. But the withdrawal was taking it's toll and her veins almost burned with the effort. "Shut up," she spat.
"Not the best response," Buffy mocked. "Aren't you guys known for your witty puns and clever one liners? I'm disappointed. I was hoping to get the whole experience when I stopped in."
"Well you can leave now."
"Why? I'm just starting to have fun. You know last time I tried to get one of you to kill yourself Buffy tried to intervene. I guess she won't miss you very much. Not that I can blame her."
Willow gasped. "You're the First."
Buffy clapped. "Smart girl. Except when it comes to the one thing that you can't quite wrap that little redhead around. I've already been inside of you. That taste you want for more power. The way you fantastically killed your little girlfriend."
"I'm not evil," Willow argued through clenched teeth.
"Not literally. I'm evil. You're just-well let's put it this way. You've been asked to be a vengeance demon, which is no small feat. Even alternate dimension vampire Willow was kinda fucked up. Oh yeah! That's that murderer thing you're trying on now. Tell me, don't you like the way it feels?"
"No," she sobbed. Willow wanted to fight back but everything Buffy's doppelganger was saying was piercing her heart.
"Don't kid yourself. Isn't that why all your friends are trying to fix you? Why they don't trust you? They're the good guys, remember? Either way, killing yourself should still be an option for you. Although I think I'll enjoy watching you destroy yourself."
Suddenly the bathroom door flew open and a frantic Dawn rushed in. When Willow went to look back at where the First had it, she found nothing. "Something happened to Buffy!" she shouted.

text: The Great British Bake Off series 4 final 23rd October 2013 BBC Clare Bennett reflects on Great British Bake Off's sublimely exciting final. Did she mention she, too, has made a wedding cake?And so.The end is near.And now we faceThe final cake tin.Yes, Team, it's the end of the road and my goodness, what a journey. We've had biscuit-tower Daleks, edible nuns, stolen custard and enough staring at oven doors to make the safety testers at Hotpoint feel they're not doing their jobs properly. No matter what the outcome, our three finalists are all winners... Yeah, RIGHT *runs screaming at the trophy* #winning.Signature challenge: Savoury Picnic PieThink a crispy golden shell and delicious, defined layers within. It had to be perfect - like a pie version of the Duchess of Cambridge. Ruby felt she was on 'the verge of baking abyss', especially when she realised Fran was also doing a lattice topping on her pie, for you do not want to go up against the Empress of Style when it comes to design. Kimberley seemed to be on the money as usual, until she got her multicoloured pie out of the oven and - shock - it was WET. The steely one having her first bad bake IN THE FINAL? I would not have called that. Fran's was 'fantastic'. Ruby's was 'sublime'. Kimberley's was 'like glue'. What a moment to have a disaster.Technical challenge: PretzelsHaving composed herself by taking some time out to reflect amongst the buttercups, Kimberley came back hard in this round, hammering the dough like it was Paul Hollywood's face in a heavyweight championship title fight. Pretzels are difficult. You've got to give them a tight crumb structure and a deep tan. Worse still, you've got to shape them so they look like an actual pretzel. The only person to vaguely achieve this was Kimberley. She finished this round right back in the game, splitting the competition wide open again. TENSION.Showstopper challenge: Three-Tiered Wedding CakeRegular readers of the Tatler GBBO blog will know that I myself made a wedding cake two weeks ago and it's one tough gig. Standing on my sofa and shouting, 'I feel your pain, sisters!' even though my cake was admittedly, er, just one tier and I bought my royal icing in Tesco, I felt emotionally like I was in the tent with them - maybe eating some crumbs off the floor with Mel and Sue in a corner. This was a bizarre round - Ruby hadn't even written her cooking times down, which resulted in her sponges being over-baked. Kimberley ran out of time, so her cake looked sparse, almost slightly bleak. Only Frances produced something you wouldn't demand your money back for. Paul and Mary were thrown. Even Sue felt she might be in with a chance of winning. But in front of friends, family and all the gang on the lawn outside, it was Frances who was declared the 2013 GBBO champion. A slightly shock result? Perhaps. But she knocked the other two out in the final round: 'She not only gave us the style, she gave us the substance too' - ultimate praise from Paul. Massive congratulations to Fran. Until next time, sponge-fiends.Back to the Great British Bake Off blog

Love Culture is a growing business both online and in their retail stores. Starting in 2007 as a retail shop, Love Culture came online in 2010 to try and reach a wider range of customers. Their website says it best stating they are a lifestyle brand and shopping destination for edgy, fashion forward young women. Love Culture was created under the vision of empowering young women with style while remaining within an affordable price range. They now have over eighty retail shops in twenty-six different states and an online growing business that hopes to reach international teens in the near future.
The Good
- Affordable pricing for young fashion-forward customers
- Continual promotions on website homepage
- Large product selection for clientele
- Free shipping benefits for certain orders
With so many online retail stores to choose from, it is difficult to be a company that stands out. Love Culture strives to be different and succeeds in a number of different ways.
Affordable Pricing for Young Fashion-Forward Customers
Love Culture is designed specifically for young women who want to stay on top of current fashion trends. The company does a wonderful job also catering to affordable price tags for young women shoppers. Most items are anywhere from twenty to forty dollars, although the website also has a sales drop down menu selection for an even bigger discount if desired. The sales tab includes options to either shop by price or to shop by item depending on how a consumer wants to breakdown the merchandise.
Continual Promotions on Website Homepage
The homepage at Love Culture provides many different promotions both for new and returning customers. A fifteen percent discount is offered to any new customer wanting to create an account with the company, including promotions on shipping. The homepage also provides a quick access tab to the sale items by breaking them down in categories of under five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen, and under twenty to help young women looking for more discounts.
Large Product Selection for Clientele
The product selection on the Love Culture website is mainly marketed towards young women specifically. They are a teen fashion clothing company and the bulk of their merchandised is for that market. However, the website does offer a link to a different website that provides both plus size young women's clothing as well as juniors clothing. This link has similar merchandise to Love Culture, has similar pricing, marketing, and all the same deals and sales including free shipping on purchases totaling over fifty dollars. Love Culture has also created an upscale line called Boutique Culture that sells more high priced items for older females who enjoy the style and trends Love Culture has to offer teens.
Free Shipping Benefits for Certain Orders
Currently on the Love Culture website, a shipping promotion is front and center offering free shipping for all ground orders over twenty five dollars. The normal price range for orders to qualify for free shipping is any purchases totaling over fifty dollars before tax, sent to the contiguous forty-eights states, the offer is not valid in Alaska or Hawaii. The online store is open and takes orders twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Most orders are processed and shipped within three to four business days. If a customer needs an item sooner, they are able to purchase speedier delivery at checkout. Love Culture does not currently ship any products to international destinations, although this is a goal they have for the near future.
The Bad
- Confusing return policy
Consider these negatives before shopping with Love Culture:
Confusing Return Policy
The return policy for online purchases is found on the website and states that any item may be returned or exchanged within twenty-one days from when the order was received by Love Culture. Customers must pay shipping costs to return or exchange an item and items that are marked as sale items, including jewelry and body suits, are not eligible for return. The problem with the return policy comes from that last disclaimer. All items that are marked as sale items are not eligible for return, meaning a large number of items are not eligible for return. This can be confusing and not provide a ton of value in the overall shopping experience for customers.
The Bottom Line
Love Culture is a great online shopping site for young fashion forward women who are looking to keep up with trends at affordable prices. They offer great promotions and free shipping on order over fifty dollars. The business has a large variety of merchandise and although marketed for young women, offers several different categories through different clothing lines. Overall, Love Culture is a fun and affordable place for teens to shop.

The return policy was very confusing! My shipment took a lot longer than it said and was the wrong size! Make sure you really want it and can't get it anywhere else before ordering from here.

Stepping out to take part in the first live episode of the season, the stars of "America's Got Talent" were on hand for the season eight pre-show event at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Tuesday (July 23).
Looking gorgeous, supermodel and judge Heidi Klum rocked a multi-color knee length frock while her co-judge Melanie Brown looked equally as stunning in a figure-hugging blue number.
She's never been shy about showing off her sexy form, and Mariah Carey's enthusiasm has only grown with the invention of social media apps like Instagram.
And while some husbands may feel a bit uneasy about their wife sharing sultry snaps with the entire world, Nick Cannon isn't sweating it.
She took a pretty bad spill while filming a music video on Monday (July 8), but Nick Cannon says his wife, Mariah Carey, was a "trooper" through the whole thing.
Stepping out for some media duties, Nick Cannon stopped by "The Howard Stern Show" in New York City this morning (June 18).
And during the course of the conversation, the "America's Got Talent" hunk stumbled onto the topic of troubled actress Amanda Bynes.
It's almost time for another action-packed season of "America's Got Talent," and Nick Cannon leads viewers through a crazy sequence in a new sneak preview.
Mariah Carey's hubby dresses up as James Brown for one scene, and in another he joins a huge mob of choir singers, marching band members, and back-up dancers.
They've been married for five years (an eternity in Tinseltown!) and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated the accomplishment with a special event in the Magic Kingdom.
According to Disney's MouseWait Twitter account, the "Always Be My Baby" songstress and her hunky hubby said "I Do" all over again at Disneyland last night (April 30).
Kicking off her week with some media duties, Heidi Klum showed up at Rockefeller Center in New York City this morning (April 8).
She's a well-known animal lover, and Mariah Carey even shared her relaxing bubble bath with her little doggy on Valentine's Day (February 14).
The "Always Be My Baby" songstress tweeted a photo of her canine encounter in the bathroom along with the caption, "Aaaah! Jill E Beans leaps to the tub In hopes of a splash champagne - whhhhhy?!"

Great fit and really pretty
Alice Tampová, 01/11/2015 07:30
This bra is not for me. Colors and making wonderful, but did not fit my shape. My breasts it had a strange shape. Too bad I returned.
I give 3. It is really beautiful and good quality. Unfortunately it does not fit on my body.
Charissa, 21/09/2015 10:45
I love both the fit and shape of this bra. I found the sizing to good as well.
Christiane , 20/09/2015 14:20
This bra is more comfortable than I imagined, but the shaping is indeed odd. I recommend wearing thick clothes over it or no clothes at all.
A b atekoja, 15/09/2015 16:58
Runs small therefore had to order the next size up. Very good
Therese, 12/09/2015 13:39
I loved the design and color of this bra, but the shaping was very strange. In my opinion it runs a bit small. The shape was not the most flattering, so i sent it back. Disappointed.
Elizabeth, 06/09/2015 01:07
nice bra the underwire does not hurt and very comfortable
Harriet, 30/08/2015 14:03
Not the most flattering shape but very pretty & comfortable.
Tina, 30/08/2015 06:18
Padded bra, a bit to much padding but a very pretty bra and comfortable.
Alice, 25/08/2015 12:37
Finding padded bras in size 30h can be such a struggle for a good price so I was so happy when I found this! For me it was true to size and fits in my size just as well as any other bras I own.
Jodie Briggs, 16/08/2015 00:40
Great under wire support without ripping your boob off. Lifts and supports well and gives great shape to the bust. Husband loves it 🎉
Ellie , 28/07/2015 21:21
Pretty bra, reasonable fit. It is a bit tight in the back, and the cups are oddly shaped - not the most flattering, and not the most comfortable bra I've ever had, but looks OK under clothes.
Rebecca Molnar, 19/07/2015 01:54
Great bra, pretty! Just wish it had fabric on the shoulders for comfort.
simone , 27/06/2015 20:38
strange shaping, send it back, it really did not fit me . I loved the desing though !
Kirsty M, 21/06/2015 09:43
This bra is incredible! Iits refreshing to find something this pretty that I can wear through the day in complete comfort. The wires on this are quite low sitting so you get none of that digging into armpits or into your chest that you usually get with underwired bras. I did have to swap my usual 34H for a HH but the exchange process was so easy and quick I had barely sent it off before the new one was here. As soon as I spot this style in stock in different colours and my size ill be buying them all!
wendy, 21/06/2015 00:34
Nice bra, good support the only thing that disappointed me is the shaping. I read all of the reviews and bought it, but it gives my boobs a strange shape. Not bad but I prefer a round shape and this one is a bit to cone-ish / pointed for my taste.
Jess, 14/06/2015 08:29
Absolutely adore this bra! I've always been a massive fan of Curvy Kate bras, and this one is no exception. Great colour and design, and really gives me the support I need.

Jess, 29/05/2015 18:46
A lovely bra. I was able to snag this and another CK bra from the same sale and these were my introduction to the CK brand. I am very happy with both bras! This is comfortable and soft. This one is a little snug in the band (I, absolutely, cannot put this bra on if I'm even a tad wet without help) but that is about the only bad thing I have to say about it.
Angie, 27/05/2015 21:11
Love this bra! Size 38K. Fits perfectly and has good support. I bought the entire set.
Michele Howrth, 25/05/2015 03:18
I love this bra and the shape and lift it gives me. I am slightly pointy in this bra but I don't care. I also love the embroidery, though it means this bra can't be worn under a t-shirt.
Tracey Tobin, 24/05/2015 18:30
Nice padded bra gave me smooth finish under the tightest tee shirt
Miranda, 24/05/2015 09:24
Lovely bra but had to return as didn't give the support shame really.
Miranda, 24/05/2015 09:23
Lovely bra but had to return as didn't give the support shame really.
Hannah A, 17/05/2015 23:37
Got this in a 36HH and fits lovely, had to buy the whole set!
Hemena Laronde, 17/05/2015 08:07
This bra fit really well in the cup and back. A nice layer of padding across the cup gave me more of a shape and really held up my chest. I would definitely recommend this bra to anyone.
So pretty and really comfortable
L Fields, 12/05/2015 20:52
Lovely bra, very comfortable. Will definitely be ordering more bras. Fast and efficient shipping.
Silvia, 10/05/2015 13:06
I love all about this bra. is gorgeus and comfy... bellissimo!
Lada Flac, 10/05/2015 10:05
I got this one in 34J. Great shape and design. I like that it is firm and keeping everything in place, despite a few drawbacks. The wires are digging in under the arm a little bit. Also, I have an empty space in the front near the central gore, which is due to the teardrop shape of my breasts. I made minor adjustments and kept the bra.
Louise H, 10/05/2015 08:20
Very comfortable everyday bra that still looks very stylish and flattering!
Niki, 06/10/2014 12:01
I bought the babydoll first, which I loved so much that I had to buy the bra which I am also very impressed with. Both are true to size and very comfortable. The matching thong with side ties is gorgeous too!

The dining was excellent the suite was disappointing. I expected better service from Royal.
Sail Date: April 26, 2014
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Room Type: Suite
The first negative experience was waiting outside the terminal for over 1 1/2 hours in the Florida heat before boarding the ship. Then the suite was disappointing, the drape that hung between the bed and couch was hanging down because the clip was broken. There was a dirty towel out on the balcony and a used coffee grounds in the coffee pot, I expect this at a cheap motel. The room steward did not leave us any breakfast menus, I had to ask twice. We completely ran out of toilet paper. The bed was also not separated into twins as requested. The dining experience was very good, Charles was very personable. I have cruised several times I would easily say that this was my least favorate cruise.

Hello, Hannibal. And congrats to your winners.

Hope everyone got to spend or will spend a little time today doing what they want.
Congratulations winners! Cool crayfish.
I was going to suggest the name "Datura" from the current book I am reading, ODD FOREVER--she is the evil character int he book. And Datura is a posionous plants, too--but I guess you got a name, so you don't need any more.

"We did a lot of drills this morning, and it was a lot about guys learning how to protect and cover and block punts," head coach Mark Richt said. "It was a good morning. This afternoon we decided to do shorts and helmets prior to the scrimmage tomorrow. I thought the guys had a good level of energy and did what they needed to do.
"I told them that the NCAA at this point doesn't force us to go in shorts today," Richt said. "It was a decision made by myself and the staff. If they can learn to practice without the pads on, we can continue to do that from time to time throughout camp and the season. I thought they took that to heart and did a good job today."
Following the morning practice, senior Blake Sailors was asked what it takes to be an effective special teams player. The Athens, Ga., native has played on special teams in each game over the last three seasons.
"I think you just have to want to do it," Sailors said. "It's literally lining up and sprinting 40 or 50 yards down the field and trying to hit someone. You have to want to do it and have the toughness to do it and be fearless. You have to have the ability to tackle someone or make a play in the open field."
The team is slated to hold its first scrimmage of the preseason Wednesday morning.
"I told them after practice that (the scrimmage) is the closest thing we have to simulating a game," Richt said. "We are trying to evaluate what's going on, but we are evaluating every single drill they do. We are trying to evaluate who is ready to play, who is capable, and who is dependable enough to play."
Fall semester classes begin at UGA next Monday, Aug. 12, and the annual Fans Picture Day will be held Saturday, Aug. 17, in the Reed Plaza area of Sanford Stadium. Georgia football players will be on hand for photos and autographs from 3-5 p.m. between Gates 2 and 4. Richt will also be available from 3-5 p.m. for those with ticket coupons.
Georgia will travel to No. 8 Clemson for the season opener Aug. 31 at 8:00 p.m., and the game will be televised by ABC.

Britain in a Day – filmed by the plain people of Britain and assembled by Morgan Matthews – was, in the nature of its construction, a highly miscellaneous portrait of the nation. On Saturday 12 November last year, anyone who wanted to could film what they were up to that day and upload it to YouTube.
The result was enough footage to run unbroken for a month, from which Matthews, a documentarist with the stamina to match his fine eye, had edited together a midnight-to-midnight impression of who we are, both as a people and a species. By my calculation, this is a shooting ratio of something like 500-to-1 and the kind of challenge of distillation that might easily drive a lesser film-maker stark mad.A less polite word for a miscellany would be a ragbag, and when Britain in a Day began there were a few minutes when you feared that that was what you might be in for. The opening sequence had the groggy inconsequentiality of a home-run on a night bus after one too many drinks: there was Philip Glass on the headphones and a string of images challenging you to come up with a coherent narrative. Wake me up when we get to the depot, you thought, shortly before you saw a night-bus driver doing just that with a couple of limpet-like passengers.
But then the patterns and rhythms of the thing started to make themselves apparent. The first was a little clumsy – a straight cut from a breast-feeding mother to a farmer starting his pre-dawn milking and affably pointing out "the laziest cow I've got". From him, you went to a milkman and the early-morning shift at Radio Cumbria, and then into a montage of early risers: a boxer on a training run, hill-walkers and a rower, tugging his scull through the low mist on a river. You would become aware of a momentary theme – different ways of saying "good morning" for example – and then that would give way to some other echo. Matthews cut between an aging teddy boy and a punk getting their tonsures sorted for the day, and then to someone else impassively clipping his hair, as the sound of a family row leaked through the door.
Matthews was at pains to include pain, often touched in with a poignant economy. "These are my scars that I have collected over the years," said one woman, displaying a lattice of self-harming on the back of her hand. Another sat cheerfully with her pet rabbit and then dissolved into tears as she explained that it was a substitute for the child she couldn't have. Yet another shared her fear that she would never find a partner, her face crumpling at the thought. And in among the National Geographic stuff that any such enterprise will throw up – the pastimes and the scenery and the representative British eccentricities – Matthews had threaded two or three graver narratives to hold the film together. A father dying of a brain tumour prepared to attend his daughter's wedding in the hospice chapel and a young Scottish boy travelled to see his mother for the first time in five years, both of them wrenching evidence of how tightly the ties of family cling.
Not much was missing. Shopping seemed strangely absent and food had been reduced to a kind of percussive sound poem towards the end of the day. But we're now all well enough practised in the video confessional to cover pretty much everything else. Matthews was further helped by the chronological frame for the film, with its subliminal metaphor for the course of a life, from birth to death, sunrise to sunset. In the end, Britain in a Day was never going to be able to give anything other than the sketchiest impression of the nation. But it delivered a surprisingly comprehensive and moving account of what it is to be human.

A couple of weeks ago, I took my first trip to Brighton for my birthday weekend.
It's a place people go on and on about and so many love, so I was really looking forward to it.
After to everything I've been going through recently it was the perfect escape from London and opportunity to slow the pace and take time to relax.
We arrived Saturday morning and had a cooked breakfast looking over the beach, followed by a stroll along the pier. Sitting and chatting on the pier was the perfect place to be able to mull over my thoughts and clear out some of the things that have been contributing to my state of mind over the last couple of months.
I loved The Lanes, although they weren't what I expected at all. They're such a maze of cute little shops and great to wander. I've got to say, I loved the way such a huge proportion of the shops in Brighton are independent. All the usual chains were there, but the overall feel was a very independent one with so many interesting things to explore.
We also enjoyed cupcakes at Angel Food Bakery, which I wish was closer as I'm ready to go again now, please!
As the weather got cloudier, we headed into the Sea Life Aquarium. We timed it a bit badly as we were surrounded by the loudest, rudest huge group of 15 year-old tourists which ruined it a little bit, but it's a great aquarium and you could spend a long time there on a rainy day.
After heading back to relax, we ate out at Ask in the nearby Burgess Hill, which had the loveliest staff and the food was delicious.
With the weather fairly patchy, we chose to have a slow Sunday morning before making the journey back to London.
Although I had a fairly quiet weekend, I really enjoyed the break from London and the chance to finally see Brighton.
I've got to say, I don't think I would rave about it quite as much as some people do - it wouldn't rank among my favourite places, but the independent feel, The Lanes and the beach combine to make a really unique and interesting city.

With a big-ass ritual and a sprinkle of I do believe in archangels, I do, I do!, he manages to bring Gabriel - and by extension, the Norse god Loki - back to the land of the living. His chance to get his brother back may just lie in accessing a pagan side-door to purgatory - though of course, this is Sam Winchester we're talking about here, and God forbid the universe make anything simple for him…

United Nations, Oct 24: Peace process in Nepal is facing unprecedented challenges, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, urging the parties there to reach an agreement on future steps, including a realistic timetable for elections that have been postponed to an as yet undetermined date.
In his latest report to the Security Council, Mr Ban said on Oct 23 that Nepal stands at a crossroad, with the political parties having made significant progress amid persisting and serious difficulties.
''The peace process in Nepal is facing its most difficult challenges to date,'' he wrote. ''The second postponement of the Constituent Assembly election has been a major disappointment for the people of Nepal and the international community.'' The Secretary-General called on the parties ''to take a hard look at their differences and the underlying weaknesses of the peace process''.
In particular, he called for the Seven-Party Alliance's members ''to set aside their lesser differences and maintain their unity in the interest of the common national agenda''.
The past year saw unity among eight key Nepali parties tested by their failure to carry out agreements, including those covering responsibilities toward Maoist personnel, and the return of properties seized during the 10-year conflict.
Recommending a review of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and its implementation, he wrote, ''The shortcomings and enduring strengths of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement need to be assessed in order to build on its achievements.
He further wrote ''The parties need to jointly and expeditiously identify the main issues that are of critical importance for the success of the peace process. They should engage in a debate on these issues, allowing for adequate public participation, and arrive at a broad road map to carry forward the peace process.'' Painting a grim picture of the human rights situation in the Himalayan nation, he reported, ''The overall situation has grown more worrying, with increasing violence and instability in parts of the country.'' He wrote of ''real or perceived threats and intimidation'' against political parties and the civilians continuing to suffer.
''The police have mostly been unable to protect the civilian population and curtail the activities of the groups.'' In this environment, the Secretary-General said it remains to be seen how far political parties will be able to exercise their freedom of assembly and association.
He urged all concerned to protect against abuses. ''A pattern of repeated human rights violations and continuing impunity will not only have the cumulative effect of diminishing the prospect of a free and fair electoral process, but could also negatively impact the possibility of a more democratic and inclusive society that many Nepalese hope for,''he warned.
The UN Mission in Nepal continues to monitor arms and armed personnel ''to serve the important purpose of fostering confidence and goodwill,'' the report stated.

At Justice, The Taming of A Whirlwind
By STEPHEN LABATON
Published: October 22, 1995
WASHINGTON— IT was the early heady days of her tenure as the Clinton Administration's top antitrust enforcer, and Anne K. Bingaman was not about to compromise.
She was facing skeptical questioning from her boss, Associate Attorney General Webster L. Hubbell, about her sprawling investigation into charges that the General Electric Company was rigging the prices of industrial diamonds around the world. Mr. Hubbell had received calls from Ben W. Heineman Jr., G.E.'s general counsel and a close friend to many powerful Democrats, pleading that the case be dropped, particularly since the company had persuaded the Government's leading witness, an executive-turned-informant, to sign an affidavit saying he had "no personal knowledge" of price-fixing.
Refusing to yield, Mrs. Bingaman announced the company's indictment with considerable fanfare. But just weeks after the case went to trial last October, Federal prosecutors were thrown out of court because their evidence was so weak.
Now, a year later, Mrs. Bingaman, a 52-year-old former law professor and antitrust litigator, said she has no regrets. "It was a tough case and sometimes you lose tough cases," she said in a recent interview in her office in the Justice Department. "I don't see it as a setback."
But many outsiders do, calling it a stinging defeat that serves as the demarcation line between Mrs. Bingaman's activist, whirlwind start as head of the department's antitrust division and a harsher new reality that has left her unbowed but increasingly on the defensive.
Before the G.E. case was thrown out, Mrs. Bingaman was on a roll, quickly reviving the division from the torpor of the Reagan and Bush years. Her lawyers were winning cases in the courts and striking agreements in a number of mergers that in earlier days would have gone unchallenged. She moved legislation briskly through Congress. And she managed to exploit the divisions within a weaker rival agency, the Federal Trade Commission, grabbing away high-profile investigations like the antimonopoly case against the giant Microsoft Corporation.
Since the G.E. case, however, the antitrust division has faced a wide range of challenges -- ideological, political and bureaucratic -- that together are starting to rein in Mrs. Bingaman and her agenda, outsiders said.
"From early on, she tried to be quite aggressive, but she has run up against the reality that there are strong limits to what she can really do," said Robert W. Crandall, a senior fellow of economic studies at the Brookings Institution.
For openers, Mrs. Bingaman is facing tough opposition on Capitol Hill from a new Republican majority that is eager to drastically cut back the division's regulatory role in telecommunications and health care. And off the Hill, she is facing a renewed rivalry from a rejuvenated F.T.C.
Meanwhile, though her division continues to have a strong enforcement record, one of its highest-profile cases -- a price-fixing investigation of agribusiness giant Archer-Daniels-Midland -- has quickly turned problematic because of recent disclosures about another executive-turned-informant who is a key Government witness. The executive, Mark E. Whitacre, has been accused by Archer-Daniels of embezzling millions of dollars. Mr. Whitacre, who attempted suicide two months ago, has offered to plead guilty to two felony counts, and according to one Government official, is "quickly being seen as the antitrust division's Mark Fuhrman."
And then there are the hard lessons of the G.E. case itself. One out of four pending grand jury investigations supervised by the division involves the conduct of American and foreign companies abroad -- and the number of such cases appears to be growing. The defeat in the G.E. case, Mrs. Bingaman said, shows how difficult it is to win when Federal prosecutors and courts cannot get their hands on critical witnesses and documents that are abroad.
But there is another lesson, detractors say. To them, the defeat demonstrates that in her zeal to elevate the profile of the antitrust division, Mrs. Bingaman occasionally overreaches.
And for that reason, they say, the case raises basic questions about just how long the division's reach should be.
If American companies have to operate in a world economy that is largely a free-for-all, do too many antitrust rules at home hamper their ability to compete? How can American regulators control the behavior of foreign companies that are shipping more and more goods to the United States? And if the mood of the country favors less government and fewer regulations -- and the trend among many industries is to consolidate -- where does that leave a regulatory agency whose traditional role has been to attack big companies as the enemy of free competition?
UNDOUBTEDLY the division is different than when Mrs. Bingaman arrived 26 months ago. For decades until Ronald Reagan became President, it played a vital role in the economy, deciding the fate of corporate mergers and acquisitions, breaking up companies it thought were too dominant and handling a wide array of bid-rigging and price-fixing cases of enormous consequence to the marketplace.
But that all began to change with the Reagan Administration's commitment to reducing the role of government in Corporate America.
The division was further threatened by changing domestic and global economic forces.

PURPOSE: It is generally believed that deployment of multiple stents during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with higher incidence of complications. The objective of the study was to determine the incidence of major adverse cardiac outcomes (MACE) associated with multiple stent deployment and its comparison with the deployment of single stent.
METHODS: Study cohort was formed by all patients who had percutaneous intervention done during January 2003 to August 2004 at our institution. A retrospective review of their medical records was done to obtain data regarding cardiac risk factors, medications at discharge and MACE [cumulative of death, myocardial infarction(MI) and target vessel revascularization (TVR)].
RESULTS: A total of 333 patients underwent PCI who were followed up for a mean duration of 36 ± 5 months. 208 patients (62%) received a single stent whereas the remaining 38% received two or more stents. Cardiac risk factors and medications at discharge were similar in patients with single or multiple stent deployment. 21 patients (10%) in single stent group and 7 patients (6%) in multiple stent group had MI (p value=0.15). Both groups had similar TVR and MACE over the follow up period of 3 years(Table 1).
CONCLUSION: There is no significant association between the number of stents deployed during PCI and the incidence of long term adverse cardiac outcomes.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: This study provides long term outcome data on multiple stent deployment during percutaneous coronary interventions.

For any team facing Manchester United at Old Trafford in the first game following a rare home defeat there is always the chance that English football's mightiest club will take a brutal revenge. For the fringe players and reserve team stalwarts in Wolves' B team last night the occasion must have been even more unnerving.
Mick McCarthy sent out a second string to face United – Wolves sent like lambs to the slaughter – and in doing so effectively conceded that this was a game he could not win and therefore would not even bother. Beaten by Aston Villa on Saturday, it was a welcome gimme for United. For the disgruntled Wolves fans who had travelled up north on a freezing evening, it was a capitulation before a ball had been kicked.
"Forty quid to watch the reserves" sang the Wolves fans as the replacements for the likes of Kevin Doyle and Jody Craddock laboured in embarrassing fashion to make an impression against the Premier League champions. McCarthy had his reasons for resting ten players from the team that beat Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, but by the end of the night even he looked like he was having second thoughts.
McCarthy is a likeable soul and his teams have always been noted for their effort and competitiveness which is why this was such a bizarre decision by an experienced old manager. His reason was that having beaten Spurs on Saturday he wanted to give his first team time to recover for Sunday's game against fellow relegation candidates Burnley. Unfortunately there is sometimes more than just fresh legs to consider.
The feelgood factor earned by Wolves' victory at White Hart Lane and the momentum that gave McCarthy's team has been lost. The supporters who made the trip home last night from one of the biggest games of the season returned home severely disgruntled. That is even before the more serious implications for the competitive ethic of the Premier League are examined.
In defence of his decision, McCarthy quoted a report from Milan that estimated their players' chances of injury increased dramatically if they played two games in quick succession. Unfortunately for McCarthy, Milan traditionally have rather better second string players in their squad than the likes of George Friend and Stefan Maierhofer, both making their Wolves league debuts last night.
For United it did not matter this time that they had to play Michael Carrick at centre-back again and give Ritchie De Laet his first league start at right-back. When the small matter of beating Wolves had been attended to, the more pressing concern was Nemanja Vidic's calf injury which is another major blow for a team who are woefully short of fit defenders ahead of Saturday's game away at Fulham.
Vidic scored United's second after Wayne Rooney had scored from the penalty spot, his 12th in the league this season. Antonio Valencia scored the best of the lot with a volley in the second half but given the standard of the opposition it was still hard work. United are level on points with leaders Chelsea, who play Portsmouth at home tonight, but second on goal difference. They could have done with a few more goals last night.
The breakthrough arrived for United when Ronald Zubar, a summer signing from Marseilles, jumped to challenge for Darron Gibson's corner and ended up slapping the ball away. Rooney hit the penalty hard to Marcus Hahnemann's right and United never looked back.
The second goal was ironically the fault of the only Wolves player on the pitch who had started the game against Tottenham on Saturday. Vidic met Gibson's corner powerfully but his header was close enough to Hahnemann for the goalkeeper to stop it. Instead the American got only a weak hand to it and the ball rolled in.
Valencia scored United's third on 65 minutes: a flick from Paul Scholes found Dimitar Berbatov on the right and he hooked the ball across into the path of Valencia to volley past Hahnemann. It had become such a stroll for United that Ferguson started resting players too, bringing off Rooney and Vidic.
By the end of the match, even more fans had left Old Trafford than usually do by the final whistle. The game had been rendered a non-event long before then by McCarthy's decision to play a bunch of unknowns in one of his club's marquee fixtures. Interest was waning fast and if this practice of tossing away games continues, the Premier League can expect a lot more empty seats.

May 20 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were higher in early afternoon trading on Friday, with the S&P on track to eke out its first weekly gain in four weeks as technology and financial stocks rose.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index was up 1.13 percent and was on track to end four straight weeks of losses, boosted by gains in Microsoft and Apple.
The S&P financial sector index rose 0.91 percent as a flurry of comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials, suggested a possibility of an interest rate hike as early as June.
The index has risen about 2 percent since the Fed released minutes of its April meeting on Wednesday. Continuación...

CORRECTED-UPDATE 2-Canada's BCE to take Bell Aliant private in $3.7 bln deal
(Corrects second paragraph show BCE is based in Montreal, not Toronto)
By Euan Rocha and Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, July 23 (Reuters) - Canada's largest telecom company, BCE Inc , said on Wednesday it will pay C$3.95 billion ($3.68 billion) to take regional telecom Bell Aliant private, buying the 56 percent stake it does not already own to cut expenses and bolster its offerings in Atlantic Canada.
Montreal-based BCE said the deal will result in C$100 million in annual cost savings, partly due to the elimination of duplicate public company costs.
"Privatizing Bell Aliant within BCE supports our dividend growth model and capital investment strategies," Siim Vanaselja, BCE's chief financial officer, said in a statement, adding that BCE will also maintain its investment-grade credit ratings following the expected close of the deal in late November.
BCE, which already controls about 44 percent of Bell Aliant, said the deal values the remainder at C$31 a share, a premium of 10 percent to the stock's close on Tuesday.
Shareholders of Bell Aliant, which also offers services in rural Ontario and Quebec, can elect to receive either C$31 in cash, or 0.6371 of one BCE share, or C$7.75 in cash and 0.4778 of one BCE share for every share they own, the companies said in a joint statement.
Shares in BCE were up 0.8 percent at C$49.39 at midmorning on Wednesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange, while Bell Aliant shares jumped more than 10 percent to sit just above BCE's offer price at C$31.17.
BCE competes with Rogers Communications Inc and Quebecor Inc in Eastern Canada for phone, Internet and TV customers, while sharing a national wireless network with Western Canada-focused Telus Corp. Continued...
