I must admit I have the greatest friends. My crazy, since 5th grade best friend; my crazy, since sophmore year of college best friend - hmm... seems these ladies have something in common, the crazy!
Last weekend my amazing amazing bestest (Ica) met me outside of Baltimore for a sort of spontaneous shopping day. And it was much needed, for both of us! I can't think I could have that much fun in Ikea and at lunch with just anyone - but we had a fantastic time. It also helped me come to the realization that while I may have enjoyed spending my "down time" on the couch in my living room, it was much more rewarding to hop in the car and meet her. And you know what, we need to do it more often! It's less than an hour and a half for each of us to meet in Baltimore, which is way way way easier than either one of us driving the whole way. So, mission for the summer - meet in Baltimore more often!
Now, as for that college best friend (Twin) - her crazy self is driving 7 (yes people 7) hours to come visit Kevin and I this weekend! I would like to think that she's coming just to see me, but I know she loves my husband, and all of our parents, so I'm sure they have something to do with it too!

The registration for my car was expired/ license plate, i was pulled over, DL taken, paper temp DL issued, along with "no insurance" notice to respond within seven days. I responded within the time.

Re: Photos from my self drive safari through Botswana
In reply to jjlad • Sep 7, 2012
Thanks so much for the compliments.
The 500mm shots were on the Chobe River were we did a boat safari that supplies their own equipment which was D7000's and a Sigma 150-500.
I highly recommend a safari for anyone who loves photography and wildlife. There's just nothing like it. One night while bbq'ing in Nxai Pan National Park, a huge bull elephant walked right through our campsite about 15ft from us. Then the second night we had 3 more plus a Hippo! That is just the start of it lol. I will be definitely be going back within the next 3yrs.
Sadly wildlife is dissappearing at an alarming rate, best to see it while you still can.

SixSixSeven – The Next Step
Re-design for Düsseldorf-based fashion label 667.
We additionally created a first mailing to inform all partners about the changes to come. Theme of the mailing: The Next Step – based on the label's former claim 'One Step Ahead Of The Devil' …
"667 – for more than a decade these three numbers represent a unique label from Duesseldorf, on the banks of the river Rhein in Germany. (...) Over the years the brand and it's whole style has branched out, and has been continuously moving away from the initial sporty 667 logo and it's associated image. This has naturally brought about significant changes for the upcoming year, the most evident of which is hereby officially introduced: 667 becomes SIXSIXSEVEN."

Venice Commission Says Poland's Court Measures "Undermine Democracy"
An international human rights body has warned that if Poland's recently elected government continues with moves that it claims "crippled" the country's constitutional court, it will "undermine democracy, human rights and the rule of law."
[Vatican Radio joins in the Euro-Masonic attack on a conservative Catholic Polish government, whose criticism of (and proposed changes to) a runaway Polish supreme court are similar to those of American conservatives concerning SCOTUS]
Vatican Radio
The Venice Commission, an expert body with the Council of Europe human rights body, released its assessment Friday after studying measures by Poland's new government that have limited the power of the country's top legislative court.
In its long awaited report the Venice Commission expressed concern over "the situation of constitutional crisis related to the Constitutional Tribunal", as the constitutional court is known.
The Commission said that as long as the crisis remains unsettled and as long as the Constitutional Tribunal cannot carry out its work in an efficient manner" it would, in its own words, "not only endanger the rule of law, but also democracy and human rights.
Yet analysts said that the report appeared softer than that in a leaked draft document last month and appeared intended to create space for Prime Minister Beata Szydlo's right wing government to roll back the controversial amendments.
The changes have effectively made the court unable to act as a check on the power of the ruling Law and Justice party
Under the new measures passed in December the court is required to take up cases in the chronological order in which they are brought to the court. Another requires a two-thirds majority to support a ruling for it to be valid, a change from a simple majority in the past.
Additionally a contested change demands a quorum of 13 judges for rulings to be valid.
Critics say the changes have paralyzed the court, depriving it of the power to prioritize cases and preventing it from acting as a check on any new laws that the rule of Law and Justice passes.
The crisis deepened this week after the tribunal ruled that the changes to its own functioning are unconstitutional. However the government has not accepted that ruling, explained Poland's Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro.
He told reporters that "these actions which we observed in the Constitutional Court were actions of a group of judges who did not act on the basis of law and within the law, so they acted unlawfully. Their ruling has no legal force, it is not binding."
Various other government measures have caused concern both within Poland and abroad, especially a law reducing the independence of media, which gives the government more influence over public broadcasters. More anti-government protests are expected.
The European Union and United States are worried about what they view as democratic backsliding in the largest eastern EU member.
Though the Venice Commission's opinion is not binding, it was expected to influence an EU probe in the rule of law. Some EU officials have compared the situation in Poland with Hungary, where the prime minister has come under pressure over perceived attempts to influence the judiciary, media, central bank and even churches.

Commentary - The Trip (Food in Film Flick)
Thursday, June 23, 2011
I saw the food in film British Indie, The Trip (Philadelphia Film Society sneak preview) almost two weeks ago and haven't had a chance to do a write up. Today, when I went to begin doing some behind the scenes research on the film, this review caught my eye. It's a really good assement of the film and wonderfully, succintly written.
Review by Sanela Djokovic for Tribeca 2011
Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Al Pacino— that is a more than decent cast, but they only appear in The Trip, via concrete impressions from shining British comedians Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan. A hundred minutes of great impressions might have been amply entertaining, but the ceaseless piercing repartee and lack of wild escapades puts a much-needed, brisk and smart spin on the road-trip comedy.
Brydon and Coogan play fictionalized versions of themselves in The Trip, and reunites them with director Michael Winterbottom (Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story). In the film Coogan's girlfriend is taking a break from him, leaving a whole in the plans they have already made to spend five days up north in the country side, taking in the lush or the land and visiting restaurants with extravagant menus. He invites his domesticated comedian buddy Brydon to join him and so begins a long series of chaffing exchanges and heated debates. However, beyond the banter exists some heavy character analysis. While, Brydon is comfortable with both his career and his domestic life, Coogan is feeling lost in both. His unattached lifestyle has lead him to forty-something and still not the boyfriend, the father or the actor he wants to be.
When the serious talk is cloaked in the comedic exchanges (bickering over their future eulogies or discussing whether they would allow their children to suffer from a short, fleeting sickness if it insured them an Oscar win) it is really a perfect, hilarious amalgamation. But, there are points during The Trip, where Coogan's self-reflection feels overstated and gloomy, causing somewhat of a weird shift.
The Trip, was edited into a feature film from a six-part sitcom that aired in the UK last year. That may explain the shift— maybe its all in the editing. It may suffer at the hands of its pace and a tad bit of melodrama at times, but Coogan and Brydon are just too good together and create engaging comedy
Tinsel & Tine additions: Although there are many beautifully filmed scenes of 4 star chefs preparing some, succulent and some, unique looking dishes; including lollipops made out of duck fat, grassy looking salads prepared in miniture little edible bags, and a foamy, ginger beer and whiskey concoction, Brydon sums up un-apetizingly as tasting a bit like snot - The film and food aspects of the movie didn't gell together as a whole. Coogan & Brydon's scenes of banter across the table from each other are the best parts of the movie; but when they cut to the actual food preparation, it feels like a commercial interlude.
I've tried to find the name of the food stylist for The Trip and can't seem to come up with anything, so perhaps these scenes are just stock footage of culinary creations.
The film's food foolishness: A waiter describes the latest dish brought to the table as cooked in it's own juices- Brydon: If I were cooked in my own juices, I'm sure I couldn't manage a thimbleful. Scallops resting on a bed of rice - Brydon: resting is rather optimistic, they're dead.

Peru is a wonderful place filled with wonderful people but there are some ideas that the average person, who has never travel to Peru, might have which can keep them from taking the journey. The thing about Peru is that it is a huge place and it has a huge history to go with it. There have been rocky moments in Peru's history, just as there have been in the history of every country. People tend to think that all the South American countries are crime ridden and dangerous places. That simply could not be further from the truth. Peru is actually a very safe and inviting country. Even the largest cities in Peru are as safe as the largest cities in the United States.
Trekking Peru is huge and almost every year, tens of thousands of hikers make their way across Peru. Hikers travel through some of the most amazing jungle areas in the world and there is nothing to fear except for the bugs and maybe a few Pumas, a majestic animal that is near the edge of extinction. Of course there is also Trekking Machu Picchu, a trail that is traveled by the young and old, the rich and the poor, from every place on earth. Yes there are snakes and bugs in Peru as there are almost everywhere but if you read about the things you need to avoid before hand and if you listen to the advice that the locals give, you should be just fine.
Another big misunderstanding is that you must speak Spanish if you want to travel in Peru. In fact, many Peruvians, especially young people, are fluent in English. If you feel that you won't be comfortable unless you can communicate at all times there are many services that rent out translators and the cost is very reasonable. That brings us to another issue. People think that you have to be a millionaire in order to travel in Peru but the truth of the matter is that Peru is one of the cheapest places to travel in the world. You can go out to a very nice restaurant in the city and spend less than 10 dollars for a huge meal and a drink to go with it. The taxis in the city are so cheap that you can travel for an hour across town and the bill will hardly reach 20 dollars. It may be that one of the most appealing aspects about Peru is that it is such an affordable place to visit for food, travel and places to stay.
So no matter is you are planning hiking Peru or traveling across it in a bus. Remember that it is a safe and amazing place to visit and you would really be missing out if you didn't take the chance to explore this enchanted land filled with history and fun. Once you come to Peru you will be hooked for life and you will understand why people call Peru the jewel of South America.


text: After lots of speculation, KFCC President Dr. Jayamalas daughter Soundarya is finally set to debut in Kannada films. It is said that Soundarya will be seen alongside actor Chiranjeevi Sarja, who entered Kannada with Vayuputra. The untitled Kannada film will be directed by Mahesh Babu and produced by Bharath. It was said earlier that Soundarya would make her big screen debut opposite Puneet Rajkumar in Yogaraj Bhats much-hyped project Lagori. But the movie was shelved due to monetary problem. Later, it was also reported that she was making her debut in a Telugu film. Soundarya had got many plump offers, but she had refused them because her mother Jayamala was very particular on picking the right launch pad for her daughter. But Soundarya has finally decided to start acting career with a Mahesh Babus film. The untitled Kannada film is said to be a romantic entertainer. Director Mahesh Babu and producer Bharath have planned to cast two bright talents from filmi families to ensure enough curiosity. Mahesh has already introduced actresses like Ramya and Andrita Ray to Sandalwood. However, producer Bharath has asserted that the yet-to-be titled movie has got a big plan with a big team. But he declines to confirm anything until he makes an official announcements within a week.

Best Co. has placed the financial strength rating (FSR) of A- (Excellent) and issuer credit rating (ICR) of "a-" of Vanliner Insurance Company (Vanliner) (Fenton, MO) under review with positive implications following the recent announcement by National Interstate Corporation (Richfield, OH) [NASDAQ:NATL] that its principal insurance subsidiary, National Interstate Insurance Company (NIIC), has executed a definitive agreement to acquire the parent of Vanliner, Vanliner Group, Inc., from UniGroup, Inc.

What Is Marketing Planning
Visionary marketing strategies are brought to life through well-organized marketing plans.

No result
Scorecard Summary
- IJL Trott*28 (41)
- JE Root12 (24)
- MG Johnson1/20 (5.0)
- AC Voges1/3 (1.1)
7.05pm: Match abandoned, that's it, shake your fist at the skies, we're done. The umpires and the groundsman have, probably quite sensibly, concluded that it there's not snowball's chance of getting the ground fixed up, if and when the rain does eventually stop, and have sent everyone home. Thanks for keeping us company as we mugged our way through the last three-and-a-half hours or so - we'll be back for more rain delays and fantasy cricket from Cardiff on Saturday. B-bye now!
7.04pm: Hello, me again. The umpires (all three of them) have perambulated out to the middle, umbrellas up, rain still falling...
6.40pm: Still it mizzles in the Midlands, the umpires have had a little look but, realistically, they can't start to think about a restart until the rain disappears. Speaking of which, I'm going to buzz off and get me tea ... Gnasher or I will be back with the latest in a bit.
6.30pm: BREAKING NEWS, from Julian Cook: "Hi, I use the paid service on the radar and unfortunately there is some more behind. Sorry folks!" Well, ain't that a stinker. *Looks at watch, thinks about dinner*
"Everyone's busy with British weather and game stuff, no one bothered to mention that one of legend of cricket Mathew Hoggard retired from international cricket," chides Wasiyullah. "Hoggy will be remembered for '05 brilliance but his ability to swing the ball in India should be recalled with equal fondness. Legend!" I think we referred to it earlier, Wasiyullah, but here's the link again. We've even got Alex Winter chatting about Hoggy, if you can understand his west country burr.
And here's Sven Holcombe, with more youthful japes: "Equipment: 1x Signature bat, 1x table tennis ball, 1x bucket, 1x brother. Rules: Bucket in middle of room, both players on knees, bowler bowls by chucking from a hand-on-neck starting position, any-wall-on-the-full is six, wall-on-the-bounce is four, couch-on-the-full is out, bowler bowls from where the ball stops. Result: Hours of fun, game ends when Mum starts yelling"
6.20pm: It's still raining in Edgbaston, confirms George Dobell, with theories ranging from an hour to 90 minutes to get the covers off, should it stop. Then we will need Duckworth-Lewis ... which, going by some of your feedback, I think we'll have to leave with the experts.
"Target would be 146 if England managed 100 in their 20 overs," declares Simon James, confidently.
Yasin is a bit more specific: "If Eng made 100/5 in 20 overs then target is 104, if they loss 3 wickets then its 145. If they lose 4 wkt, then it's 127."
While Darshak Shah comes up with something completely different: "If England manage 100 for 3 in 20 overs then Australia would have target between 115-120 to win..."
6.15pm: Looking at the radar, the majority of the rain appears to have passed Birmingham now. So, if it all clears in the next half an hour or so, we may still squeeze in that T20.
6.10pm: Some marvellous memories from Mike Walton: "The cricket game on a cloth - which I was given back in the forties - was called Balyna (2 'l's maybe? 'i' not 'y'???). The bat was a heavy metal disk hooked on to a pulley system. There were rings round the pitch to indicate the runs scored. Metal ball. Once you'd got the timing right you could get a very high score! If you hit it hard enough, you could even bully a plastic fielder out of the way! (Not like my real life experience at all!!!) I played this game for hours when it was raining outside! Wish I'd still got it today! I was given an "Owzat!" set a only year or two back by my thoughtful young daughter. So it's still around. At school, back in the fifties, we also refined the pencil game, so that it was more realistic. We needed two pencils. This enabled us to have some balls from which no run was scored - and to indicate how exactly a player was dismissed. Not so many sixes, etc. We also had a game we played by allocating values and wickets to all the letters of the alphabet. Including dots. Rare letters used for rare events (eg. hit wkt). We would then open a book at a random page, and play out a match by using the text to activate the scoreboard. If a teacher came in the room, rain stopped play. (It looks as if the whole staff have come in at Edgbaston!!!)"
6pm: Let's just assume it's still raining. "If England finish 100 runs in 20 overs then what will be revised target for Aussie in 20 overs?" asks Sid. The short answer is, I don't know. The long answer is, I don't, er, have the Duckworth-Lewis calculation to hand right now. But I'm sure someone out there could give us a ballpark figure...
"In our school days we used to play 'phone cricket'," declares Srivatsan, with the latest variant on conjuring up cricket matches from any old numbers you can find laying around. "Bowler should write an alphabet from A to F in a notebook and cover it. Then the batsmen is allowed to tell any number between 1 to 6. If the bowler's alphabet matches with batsman's number then batsmen is OUT,for eg A=1,B=2,D=4,F=6. Else if the bowler's alphabet does not match with batsman's number then the number is awarded to batsman., eg A=5, B=6 then 5 and 6 runs are awarded to the batsman. This is played until batsmen gets out and numbers are added to get the highest score. It was fun and my highest was 178." Er, you lost me along the way there. And when does the phone come in?
Here's Jude Burcombe: "My friends and I used to play marble cricket in one of our bedrooms in the 1980s. The bat was half a wooden clothes peg, with favourite bat logo drawn on in pen, held between thumb and forefinger, with a homemade cardboard pad worn on the thumb. The bowler could bowl anything with a small marble, over or under, leg or off breaks. Fielders were other marbles and we used a full score book, playing entire tests on wet afternoons. Great fun."
5.45pm: It's still raining (as far as I know, though I'm in London, not Birmingham. Let's just assume it is. Someone will tweet if it isn't). Here's Anurag: "Whenever Australia seem to win, the rain comes to save England! By the way how much time will it take to clear up? It must take less than an hour if play has to resume (assuming rain stops at 19.30)." I believe the groundsman is saying 40 minutes to get the covers off - once it has stopped - but that isn't quite the same thing as the ground being dry enough to play. Going to be very touch and go, I fear.
"Just when I thought I'd forgot being bowled out for 20, you bring it back up. Thanks." Apologies, Seb, you can blame Gnasher for that. At least you don't have to sit next to him (and he's a Lancs fan).
"I accidentally stepped on a table tennis ball and dented one side without crushing the whole thing," says Christian, taking a deep breath. "So, I placed a piece of carpet on the floor and folded a draughts board in half so it could stand on edge as the wicket. I bowled over-arm and my lopsided table tennis ball produced prodigious swing to dismiss Ian, Greg, Allan, Graham and Kim. The best ball ever pitched outside off, cut in towards the stumps, then swung away to take the edge to Murray. That might have been Sunny out."
5.25pm: No, in fact I won Division One of the Championship on normal. Which, as I'm sure you all know, was actually pretty hard. But anyway, that was
weeks years ago... The latest from our man at Edgbaston, George Dobell, is that even ducks wouldn't risk it out in the middle right now.
"Surely someone else must have played car cricket...?" says Nick McGeorge. "A sure fire winner (?!) on long trips... looking at the cars you pass, different colour cars equal runs e.g. silver = 1, black = 2, red = 3, green = 4 and yellow = 6, any foreign vehicle = wicket... Simple and hours of fun..." I think we had someone on here suggesting a similar game a few weeks ago, Nick, though it involved a lot more reckless overtaking.
5.15pm Hope you've enjoyed the chat folks. I've really enjoyed hearing some of your stories. Keep them coming. I'm handing over to Alan who, when playing as Essex in Cricket Captain, didn't get bowled out for 20 like they did in real life this season.
5.10pm This game has to be finished by 10.15pm, so counting backwards (England need to bat 4.5 more overs and Australia have a 20-over chase as minimum) I'd say we need about two more hours of cricket. All speculation on my part, to fill time. Ah, just been tweeted by the Test Match Special crew: need to be starting by 8.30pm to get a game in.
Here's Kris "We played a homemade game (at least I think it was) whereby each player would choose any player they wanted, so you'd have Spofforth, Bradman and Lillee in the same team. It took a while to set up but that was part of the fun. On a sheet of paper you'd draw a small pitch and place your fielders. The batting side would put numbers at random on the paper to indicate runs scored. Ways of being out were also written. The batsman would be named and you'd put the point of a long pencil at the crease and somehow flick from the top. If the direction of the pencil line went in a direct line to a fielder you were caught, same for runs scored and being out other ways. Bit involved but you could play it anywhere and we wasted hours of classroom instruction on it! We kept a scorecard and played two innings."
5.05pm Mark Kidger: "The BBC are suggesting that the rain will stop around 1930, with the cut off time at 2020. This would reduce the match to around 20 overs a side. Not great news for England who have batted 15 overs already." May be too late by then, anyway, given the clearing up time needed
Phil: "@ Daniel Moroney: Test Match Cricket...thank you! Was trying to go back in time to remember what this was called. This was available in England. I remember playing this with my brother in the 80's. Back to back Ashes series are nothing...we had about 3 years worth of West Indies vs. England. Jeffrey Dujon won man of the series as I remember!"
Dave: "Did no one play rubber cricket?? You know, mark all 6 sides of a rubber with 4,6,1,2,3 and OUT and flip it for each batsman. Add up the totals after both innings and the highest score wins! Think my highest score was around 400 once!"
4.55pm Alex: "Midnight here in Perth, should I stay up or go to bed? How likely is there to be any play in the next hour?" In the next hour...not much chance at all.
Howard: "As kids in Jamaica, we used to pick up 11 random bottle caps with numbers stamped on the inside, added them up as the scores of your 11 batsmen and the person with the highest number had the wining team ... repeat as often as you wish."
Bhagyesh: "We used to play cloth cricket .. essentially the pitch was made up of cloth with fielding positions, pitch and 30 yard circle marked on it .. we had a small plastic bat attached to the wicket keeper like a crane and the bowler was a slide on while you put the small silver bullet .. plastic fielder figures .. the cloth (pitch) had to be ironed and there was boundary fence too .. We also had score sheets .. we played test matches on it .. was extreme fun"
4.50pm rohit: "talking about games, how come no one has said anything about book cricket? every school going kid has played it while the teacher is giving lecture" It has just been mentioned by Jebran as well. We at Cricinfo do not condone not concentrating in class, I should add.
Daniel Moroney: "My favourite cricket game that has yet to be mentioned has to be Test Match Cricket. Not sure if this is an Australian only game but it was pure brilliance, The bowler had a little cup that would fit a ball bearing, you pushed his arm to roll it down a chute to the waiting batsman that the other player controlled with a trigger who would try and place the ball bearing in between the 9 plastic fielder figurines to avoid being caught. Ohhhh the happy childhood memories are flooding back!"
Gocfe: "Didn't have the hexagonal dice for the score but used a hexagonal pencil instead. It used to drive our teacher at school insane all us kids rolling pencils across our desks instead of copying notes from the board...." Wasn't much school work getting done by the sounds of it
Keith Johnson: "I can't believe that no-one has mentioned Subbuteo cricket. A proper game!"
4.40pm Dan: "In the early 80's in Australia I had a dice cricket game called Max Walker's cricket. Eventually as the teams it supplied became outdated I used to make up my own, give them ratings and play the greatest Australian teams against each other. This is what we were forced into before cricinfo." Don't let us stop you.
Stephen Jepson: "My cricket game of choice was Owzat! (Note the exclamation). Two hexagonal dice, one with 1,2,3,4,6 & Owzat! the other with Bowled, Caught, Run Out, LBW, No Ball & Not Out on. Add a junior score book and you have one nerdy existence." Think I owned that game, too...
StoneRose: "Remember the cheesy advert featuring the ex-England captain: "MIKE ATHERTON'S WORLD CUP CRICKET...EVEN BETTER THAN T'REAL THING!"" Well, Atherton's World Cup record as captain wasn't great
4.35pm Phil Hayler: "This is all too modern for me - i still believe Flippin' Cricket to be the greatest cricket game made. It was essentially tiddliwinks on a mat with big areas for scoring singles or you could risk aiming for 4s and 6s which were nearer the wicket lost areas. I think it was discontinued in the 60s!"
Waqas Ahmed: "As everyone talking about games. Anyone like International Cricket Captain? I could not found in Pakistan except me :)" Yep, all of us on the desk have played that too!
Stuart: "Super International Cricket is still the best ever on SNES. You could appeal for anything...and sometimes it would be given. Or International Cricket Captain on the PC. All the fun of cricket without the controls..."
Nick Gerovasilis: "EA Cricket 2002 had a particularly unfortunate glitch where the ball would go past the stumps before taking a U-turn and bowling you. Suffices to say you wouldn't be happy when you saw the side-on replay."
Weather update It's very wet, and will be for some time to come.
4.25pm Mark P: "Who needs video games? Surely just video them playing a game of HOWZAT? All that dice rolling excitement..." Another classic.
Allan: "There was one (i think maybe an EA game) where the field for a test match was set with nobody in the outfield until the batter reached 30 odd. So you played yourself in for a couple of overs and the slogged everything after that. Clearly the game's developer was a fan of Virender Sehwag."
Kieran : "Wasn't that game the one where Craig White would regularly whip it down at 100+mph?" Surely that was just real life!
faisal: "I played in a Brian Lara 97 PS1 tournament in Pakistan. Epic game! They rigged it up to a projector so huge screen. Just about to win the final but the electricity went off:("
Back to real cricket for a moment: Ed Bowden: "Why do England bother with ODIs? They never have been and never will be a decent one day side. Blame it on English conditions, the prevalence of test cricket or the county system, but we just never score enough runs to be regularly competitive." Never a decent one-day side? Didn't they reach a global final a few months ago. Were No. 1 not so long ago. Fantastic home record over last few years, plus series wins in UAE, SA, NZ to name a few. Not too shabby, really.
4.15pm Nick Travers: "Wasn't that the game where to had to press a button to NOT run? Pretty sure England would defend this score pretty comfortably on that game." Can't quite remember that, but I do remember it took me a while to work out how not to be bowled by any straight delivery.
shailesh: "Cricket97 was epic..all manual controls"
Hasan Aziz: "Re: Brian Lara Cricket mine had a glitch too, didn't they all? One particular annoying one was... "Waqar younis steaming in... great shot, and Four, and out "" That sounds like some of the commentary you here on TV!
"I always liked being Sri Lanka," says Alan sat next to be as he reminisces of his Brian Lara Cricket moments, "but got all the wickets as Upul Chandana and not Murali."
Sha: "Speaking of Cricket games, there's a hidden pearl on the SNES called "Super International Cricket"... basic but the mechanics and techniques look better than the loopy six-a-thons created on 3D Game engines."
Matt: "Still play Brian Lara at our club when have a rain delay. Played at weekend - didn't help when we were all out for 69."
4.05pm Faisal: "Why don't the two teams decide the run affected match by playing Brian Lara 1999 on the Playstation and showing it on the big screen and on tv? It seems a fair way to decide the match." Ah, good memories of Brian Lara Cricket. What a game that was. Wasted many hours of my youth. Think my version had a glitch, though, where you would hit the ball into the air and it would get stuck...think I ran a 25 once!
3.50pm It's Gnasher back with you while the rain falls (well, hopefully when it stops, too, but that doesn't look likely soon). It's a bit of a miserable scene, as the English international season dribbles to a conclusion but there has been plenty of action in the County Championship today.
Mahesh: "Not sure - Alan Gardner if you are from England, sorry to say the weather in England is horrendous and not suitable for cricket at all.. Not sure if this would get posted, fingers crossed... :)" Well, Alan is taking a break. I'd suggest that is somewhat of an over-reaction. It's been a good summer in the UK. September is autumn. It will sometimes rain. Birmingham unlucky to get it again.
3.45pm The covers are firmly on, people huddling under umbrellas or heading off to the pasty stands. Nothing to see here (at least not for a little while).
3.35pm Ugh, not for the first time, I've served myself size 11 pie for dinner. The rain has turned authentic, fat little droplets falling and the players are going off, the umpires having had enough. The rain radar isn't all that encouraging, I'm sorry to say, ladies and gentlemen.
Anyway, while you
work yourselves into an impotent fury about the English summer before realising that there are more important things in life, like reading good books and getting the washing up done wait for further updates, here's something to distract you: our espn.co.uk cousins have a competition for you to win one of David Gower's autobiographies and a Slazenger bat, both of which have been signed by the eloquent champion. Enter here.

Tease by Lovehoney Bondage Tape
RRP: $8.99 You save: $4.99 (56%)
Simple to use and reusable
Reviewed: May 28, 2017 by Jellybeanbaby, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
Bought this in a sale, for a very good price and it is definitely value for money. Although you're given plenty and plenty of tape, I've found it very easy to stick to using the same bits of tape over and over.
As the tape is not sticky and only attaches to itself, it's easy to fold back up and store for later. Also, because of the lack of stickiness, there's no getting stuck to the bed or pulling hairs out (which can definitely be a mood killer!). This tape is beyond handy and lives in my bedside table. Much faster and easier to use for a quick session than rope, and much more versatile than cuffs.
Very enjoyable and worth a buy if you haven't already.
- Pros
- Everything, very fast and simple to use, whilst also lasting ages.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Worth the buy.

One of my biggest fantasies is to be kidnapped/bound/tied up/helpless, and my partner made sure she met them desires with this product.
At first I was unsure how this product might work without pulling at skin, but it's made so the material sticks to itself, and once you are tied/gagged with this there is no escape.

- Colour. Quality. Price.

Tape is the answer
Reviewed: December 24, 2016 by Mr-Mrs-Sexy, a Straight Going Steady Male
Bought this recently to use on one of our "special nights in". Had a few ideas on what I wanted to do with other bondage items, but unfortunately they didn't work, so ended up using this tape for virtually everything.
It work very well and I'm a big fan of bondage tape now. I feel the word tape may put some people off, as it's more of a plastic ribbon that only sticks to itself.
We started off using it to replace cuffs for the hands, thighs and ankles, then into more extravagant ideas, and it held its own, replaces the use of rope is most instances.
This also has a nice PVC type shine and feel to it and can be used to make up a mini skirt or dress.
Once stuck to itself it's very hard to rip. It does undo easily if you can find the end.
The only bad point was you need to try and keep it very flat, as it tends to roll up, making it less comfortable.
- Pros
- The look, feel and strength.
- Cons
- Rolls up easily.
- Bottom line
- Bondage essential! From beginners to experts.

text: The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 03/31/2014 settlement date, which shows a 1,371,968 share increase in total short interest for Qiagen N.V. ( QGEN), to 8,101,480, an increase of 20.39% since 03/14/2014. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for QGEN at the 03/31/2014 settlement decreased to 1,134,704, as compared to 1,678,678 at the 03/14/2014 report. That brought "days to cover" up to 7.14, a 78.10% increase from the 4.01 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.The below chart shows the historical "days to cover" for QGEN at previous short interest release dates:

Gay porn producers are always looking for something different for their videos. UK Naked Men has come up with one I've never seen before -- JP has died and his mourning buddies fuck at his funeral. While JP was alive he constantly talked about one fuck buddy named Adam, who was the best fuck he's ever had. All the pall bearers are wondering which man is Adam. When he finally arrives, all eyes are on him. (Funny bit: as the pall bearers pick up the casket to carry it out of the room, the lid starts to slide off. Oops.) While these pall bearers wait for the funeral, they get bored and gang bang Adam's ass so they can see what all the talk has been about.

Your HVAC system, which means your heating and cooling systems, are the heart of your home. They are the reason you can sleep well at night when it's blistering hot out or you can read comfortably on your couch when it's cold outside. These system are designed to work for years, but after a while, like all things used on a regular basis, they must be replaced. Yet, advice varies on whether or not you should replace your air conditioner and furnace at the same time.
Replacing Simultaneously:
Consider how quickly technology develops. A decade ago cellphones were still about the size of small bricks and now you can comfortably slide one in your back pocket (or lose it in your purse!). Imagine how far energy efficient technology has come since the day your furnace was installed twelve years ago. Considering homeownership is one of the biggest investments of anyone's life, it's safe to say there's a whole industry around making that the most sensible choice for you.
Heating and cooling systems have similar lifespans and often operate together. Your ventilation system is what moves air, both warm and cold, through your house. If you replace your air conditioning unit but the other aspects of your system are outdated you may not be using your conditioner to maximum efficiency.
Also, if you only replace one piece of equipment and continue to repair the other one, the amount you spend on repairs and in utility bills on less efficient equipment may easily be outweighed by buying an entirely new, modern air conditioning and heating system. By the time you do replace that second piece, it may be more efficient than your now-older equipment ensuring you still don't operate at 100% capacity.
Consider the amount of time that goes into replacing one piece of equipment. You need to consult a specialist, select a unit, review warranty and service agreements, schedule an install date and take off that day from work, and setup repair and servicing for your outdated equipment. Whereas, doing a system overhaul means you can take care of everything in one fell swoop, and sometimes get a better deal in the process!
Replacing Separately:
It would be unfair of us to ignore factors associated with replacing separately, but these truly are conditional. If neither of your equipment is more than a few years old and you are having serious problems with one piece, that piece may be defective. You should consult your installer and the manufacturer regarding how to replace the equipment as soon as possible. If you only need to conduct minor repairs or replace parts well known to break down early, you only need to deal with one piece at a time. However, if you are replacing an 8 year old air conditioning unit and haven't considered replacing your 10 year old furnace, we strongly encourage you to consult a specialist about overhauling your system.
By replacing both units at the same time you save money on energy bills, minimize work done at your home, and can open up opportunities to increase efficiency at large. If you are replacing your equipment you should have your ducts inspected as well. (30% efficiency is lost through heat and cool transfer in leaking ducts.) One system overhaul could have your home operating hassle free for ten years or more!

He also played Ron Nasty in the Beatles parody The Rutles, where he wrote all the songs as well. His solo stuff was often of a slightly more serious nature than the Bonzos, but there was always a sense of whimsy. He also has appeared on many programs on the BBC and has written a introductory economics text(!).

Collection of Mr. Jacques Reclus
Jacques Reclus (1894-1984) was born in Paris, France. He came from a long line of intellectuals and revolutionaries and was a descendent of renowned geographer Elisee Reclus (1830-1905). The young Reclus travelled to China in the 1920s and took up teaching positions at universities in Beijing, Kunming, and Shanghai, including Peking University. The Life Guardian Weekly once used "ke lui", the very same characters in his Chinese name, to praise Reclus' personality and achievement. It honoured Reclus as someone with great kindness and eloquence in the Chinese language. His contribution as an educator was also widely recognized.
Reclus married Huang Shuyi in 1939 after residing in China for many years. His amicability won him friendships with many artists, as seen in a series of paintings dedicated by the artists to Reclus (lots 693 to 698). According to Reclu's daughter Magali Reclus, artist Xu Beihong stayed with the Reclus family briefly and the two families remained in close contact. Lot 693 is a portrait Xu dedicated to Reclus in which his image was vividly portrayed through a brilliant composition.
Lots 694 and 695 are paintings dedicated to Reclus by artist Qi Baishi. In 1939, Qi gave a letter to the newly-wedded Reclus through Mei Yiqi (1889-1962). Mei, then Chancellor of Tsinghua University, was the witness at the Reclus wedding. It was believed that the letter contained a painting by Qi as a gift to the couple; unfortunately the work was lost and only the envelope remained. In 1948, Reclus was a guest at the wedding of Wu Zhuoren and Xiao Shufang, where Xu Beihong seved as the witness. Wu later dedicated a number of fresh and lively paintings to Reclus as a token of their friendship (lots 696 to 698).

LONDON – For several years, Chinese leaders have been pursuing economic "rebalancing." The country's longstanding growth model, based on investment and exports, is to be replaced by one based on services and domestic consumption. It's a necessary transition for China. Unfortunately, consumption-led growth remains a distant prospect.
Yes, the contribution of domestic consumption to GDP has risen slightly over the last few years. But that mainly reflects weak investment demand, not strong consumption growth. In fact, wealth accumulation remains the primary objective of Chinese households. And, given China's economic structure, under-developed financial market, and weak welfare state, high levels of precautionary saving will persist for the foreseeable future.
Indeed, one key factor impeding consumption is the imperative faced by China's older workers to save for retirement. In the past, the Confucian tradition of filial piety meant that children supported their parents in their dotage. But, after more than three decades of the one-child policy, retirees cannot reasonably expect nearly as much support, and China lacks a strong pension system to pick up the slack.
As it stands, urban retirees derive about half of their income, on average, from family support. But middle-aged workers know to expect less when they retire. Even the elderly are increasing their savings, owing partly to longer life expectancy and a surge in medical costs. This contrasts sharply with rapidly declining savings rates among the elderly in the United States.
