Derbyshire travelled to Headingley for their third away match in this competition. Yorkshirewon the toss and chose to field first, whereupon Martin Guptill and Chesney Hughes got Derbyshire off to a fine start. Guptill looked in particularly ominous form as he reached his fifty in 53 balls with three sixes and four fours.
When Hughes was bowled immediately after reaching his own fifty (72 balls with four fours) the opening pair had added a fine 137 in less than twenty-five overs. This should have been the platform for an onslaught, but thereafter no-one could settle and, try as they would, the run-rate dropped and only another 82 runs were scored from the last fifteen overs.
A total of 219 was many fewer thanYorkshireshould have been challenged to chase, and they were able to take their time with comparatively little risk. Derbyshire's front-line spinners, David Wainwright, playing against his old county for the first time, and Wes Durston, slowed the scoring for a while, but when Gary Ballance decided to raise the rate he did so with some comfort.
Ballance had started his career with Derbyshire a few years earlier, but he had been allowed to leave and now he showed his old county what they were missing. After Durston had dismissed both openers, Ballance shared consecutive partnerships of 69 and an unbroken 70 with Jaques and Root to take his team home by a comfortable seven wickets with fourteen balls to spare.
Derbyshire will have rued the fact that they were unable to make the most of what had been a most promising start as they lost their second match in this competition. Their first 40-over game at home (Derby) will be on Bank Holiday Monday, 4th June, when they will be seeking revenge for last week's defeat by Warwickshire.
Derbyshire 219 for 8 (40 overs) (MJ Guptill 89, CF Hughes 50; MA Starc 3 for 28, A McGrath 2 for 24)
Torkshire 223 for 3 (37.4 overs) (GS Ballance 77*, PA Jaques 47, AW Gale 33, A Lyth 31, JE Root 28*; WJ Durston 2 for 40)
Yorkshire (2 points) beat Derbyshire by 7 wickets

On a sunny, but still chilly, day Warwickshire won the toss and asked Derbyshire to bat first. They got off to a bad start as three wickets fell in the first five overs with only 19 runs on the board. Wes Durston was the only batsman to play with any freedom and he hit 44 from 54 balls with five fours and two sixes, one of which was hit over the stand and out of the ground.
Ross Whiteley struggled, but managed to stay longer than most as he scored 20 from forty balls. Tim Groenewald played a couple of strong clouts towards the end of the innings, but an all-out total of 122 was far short of what Derbyshire would have expected to make. Rikki Clarke, once of Derbyshire, and Jeetan Patel both finished with excellent figures of three for 22 from their eight overs.
After the interval, Derbyshire hopes were raised temporarily when Groenewald dismissed Chopra from the fourth ball of the innings. This brought in Porterfield to joinEngland's Jonathan Trott and, batting without any pressure, Porterfield drove strongly while Trott played the supporting role and took singles almost, it seemed, at will. This pair stayed until the end to give Warwickshire a nine-wicket win with more than fifteen overs to spare.
From Derbyshire's point of view it was a day best forgotten. Their next match in this competition will be at Headingley next Sunday, 20th May.
Derbyshire 122 (31.1 overs) (WJ Durston 44, RA Whiteley 20; R Clarke 3 for 22, J Patel 3 for 22, CR Woakes 2 for 20, CJC Wright 2 for 31)
Warwickshire 125 for 1 (24.3 overs) (WTSPorterfield 81*, IJL Trott 41*)
Warwickshire (2 points) beat Derbyshire by 9 wickets
By John Brown
The weather on the first two days of this match could hardly have been worse: the umpires had hoped that play would be possible on the second afternoon, but more rain ruled out that possibility. When play did start on a much brighter third day Derbyshire won the toss and chose to field first on a pitch which it was hoped would help the seamers.
Although Dawson fell early to the accurate Tony Palladino, Hampshire's next pair prospered on a pitch which proved to be much slower and lower than expected. Adams and Shafayat, making his county debut, added 164 in 39 overs for the second wicket. Although Derbyshire persevered, and wickets fell regularly, Hampshire will have felt that they had had the better of the day as they finished on 352 for eight from their 96 overs.
Hampshire declared overnight, but there were no arrangements or forfeitures, and Derbyshire set off to score as many as they could and hope to pick up some more batting bonus points. They started badly, however, with their first three batsmen all falling to catches at second slip. Wes Durstonand Dan Redfern stayed together and their stroke-play became ever more fluent. They stayed until lunch, taken at 127 for three, and continued afterwards until their partnership was broken after they had added 178, only 18 short of Derbyshire's record for this wicket against Hampshire.Durston reached his hundred from only 97 balls with 16 fours and three sixes, and he hit two more sixes before he was out.
Redfern batted on beautifully and he too completed his century, his second of the season (and career): he was eventually out for 133 from 161 balls (18 fours and a six). Ross Whiteley, David Wainwright, Jon Clare and Tom Poynton all made useful contributions, but it was the last wicket partnership between Palladino and Tim Groenewald which made the day for Derbyshire. When they came together Derbyshire were still 41 runs short of their fifth batting bonus point: there were still twenty overs remaining, but even though Hampshire claimed the second new ball, they looked in little trouble and Palladino finished the job with three fours in five balls.
Derbyshire declared immediately and the teams shook hands at the end of two interesting days.
Hampshire 352 for 8 dec (96 overs) (JHK Adams 122, BM Shafayat 93, JM Vince 36, SM Ervine 24; JL Clare 2 for 57, DJ Wainwright 2 for 61, AP Palladino 2 for 71)
Derbyshire (overs) (DJ Redfern 133, WJ Durston 121, RA Whiteley 23, DJ Wainwright 23, AP Palladino 22*, TD Groenewald 20*, JL Clare 20; K Ali 3 for 60, JA Tomlinson 3 for 101, DJ Balcombe 2 for 69)
Match Drawn: Hampshire 10 points, Derbyshire 10 points
By John Brown
This match was played throughout in wintery temperatures which were quite unsuitable for cricketers, umpires and spectators alike. Derbyshire won the toss and, to the surprise of many, chose to bat first. Despite the loss of the openers during the first thirteen overs, Wayne Madsen's decision proved right as first he and Wes Durston, showing a welcome return to his 2011 form, added 100 for the third wicket, and then Dan Redfern helped put on another 115 for the fourth.
Madsen played the anchor role and, despite having to wait for twenty balls with his score on 99, he completed a thoroughly well-deserved and emotionally charged century from 183 balls. He was out shortly afterwards and Derbyshire finished the day on a very satisfactory 362 for 9. Durston (88 balls) and Redfern(58 balls) both passed fifties which were full of well-timed and aggressive strokes, while Ross Whiteley made a useful forty.
On the second morning Jon Clare and Tim Groenewald hit boldly in adding 26 from only thirteen balls to take the final total to 388 all out. Clare's 48 came at just a run a ball.
Gloucestershire lost a wicket to Tony Palladino in the first over, but thereafter they looked fairly comfortable in taking the score to 94 for two at lunch. Three wickets fell quickly soon after the break, and Derbyshire's bowlers kept a firm grip on things with some well-controlled bowling. All the wickets fell to seamers while David Wainwright kept things quiet from the pavilion end with his left-arm spin. Palladino took five wickets for 47 before bad light finished play early with twenty-six overs still to be bowledand Gloucestershire on 172 for nine, still 216 behind.
Next day Gloucestershire's last pair survived for another 48 minutes, perhaps an indication that the pitch was becoming more batsman-friendly. They were eventually all out for 206 and Derbyshire enforced the follow-on. Groenewald took a wicket in his first over, but the Gloucestershire batsmen, concentrating mainly on defence, made life difficult for Derbyshire. Only one more wicket fell all day and Howell, Williamson and Marshall had all looked comfortable for most of the day.
The fourth day started on time with a draw looking the most likely outcome, unless Derbyshire could take wickets with the new ball which was due after eleven overs. As it happened the pitch seemed to have flattened out, and only one wicket fell in the morning session, Williamson (272 balls) edging a ball from Clare to the keeper, Tom Poynton.
Marshall, the visitors' stand-in captain, was lbw to Groenewald for a well-made 90 (200 balls) as the game meandered towards what seemed to be the inevitable draw. His dismissal was followed by a ten-minute stoppage for rain and hail, but then Cockbain and Will Gidman continued the resistance. By tea, taken with the score at 369 for four, everyone was going through the motions, just waiting for the moment when Gloucestershire could declare and the teams shake hands.
As a result of this draw Derbyshire have returned to first place in the table.
Derbyshire's next championship match is at Southampton where they meet Hampshire in a four-day match starting on Wednesday, the first time the two counties have met for several seasons. The next home championship match will be against Glamorgan on Wednesday week.
County caps were awarded to four Derbyshire players before the start of play on the third morning – Martin Guptill, Wes Durston, Jon Clare and TonlyPalladino.
Derbyshire 388 (98.1 overs) (WL Madsen 101, WJ Durston 68, DJ Redfern 55, JL Clare 48, RA Whiteley 40, MJ Guptill 30; JK Fuller 3 for 64, ID Saxelby 3 for 79)
Gloucestershire 206 (69.3 overs) (CDJ Dent 55, KS Williamson 25, PB Muchall 21, WRS Gidman 21; AP Palladino 5 for 47, JL Clare 3 for 48) and 409 for 4 (145 overs) (KS Williamson 128, HJH Marshall 90, BAC Howell 64, IA Cockbain 63*, WRS Gidman 33*; JL Clare 2 for 39, TD Groenewald 2 for 44)
Match Drawn (Derbyshire 10 points) Gloucestershire (7)
By John Brown
Following several days of heavy rain it was decided before play was due to start on the second day of this match that there could be no play and the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. The outfield was very wet and much work needed to be done before any play would have been possible.
This would have been the first time that Derbyshire had played Cardiff, so it was disappointing that the match could not even be started and that several young Derbyshire players together with a few who were hoping to find form were denied their opportunity.
Derbyshire's next match is at Derby against Gloucestershire in the championship, starting at 11am on Wednesday 2nd May.
By John Brown
The weather forecasters warned us that all four days were likely to be blighted by frequent rain showers, but, in the event, much more cricket was played than might have been expected. As it happened the start on the first day was delayed until 3.30pm: Derbyshire won the toss and asked the visitors to bat first. Rain came again after 10.5 overs had been bowled (Leicestershire 24 for one) and there was no more play that day.
Tony Palladino took his second wicket on the second morning, but Smith and Sarwan, Leicestershire's stand-in overseas captain, stayed together in adding 82 for the third wicket. Cobb joined Sarwan and they added a further 139: both batsmen reached 105 before they were dismissed so the visitors were in a strong position. Two wickets fell just before the close, taken at 318 for seven.
Next morning Palladino and Mark Footitt finished off the innings in four overs, so the last five wickets had fallen while only seven runs were added, and these two bowlers had taken three wickets each. Derbyshire started badly as they lost two wickets in the first three overs, and all their batsmen were made to work hard. When the seventh wicket fell at 115, it seemed likely that Derbyshire would have to follow on, but David Wainwright, Jon Clare and Tom Poynton all battled hard in making double figures.
Derbyshire won the toss and chose to bat on a pitch which looked true enough: once play had started, however, it was clear that all was not as easy as had been expected.
Graham Wagg, who had left Derbyshire two seasons earlier, bowled with great control and swung the ball late in both directions: in his opening spell of nine overs he dismissed the top four batsmen at a cost of 22. Derbyshire slipped to 44 for five and it took a sensible stand of 48 between Ross Whiteley and newcomer David Wainwright (fromYorkshire) to bring any sort of respectability to the all out total of 130.
Jon Clare added a useful 21, but the highlight thus far had been Wagg's bowling with six for 44, the first time he had taken more than three wickets in an innings for his adopted county.

A young Derbyshire team (average age 25) started their championship campaign in bitterly cold conditions on the earliest date in their history. Northamptonshire won the toss and invited Derbyshire to bat on a pitch which they expected to help their seam bowlers. At first the visitors seemed to have taken the advantage as Derbyshire lost their first three wickets for 21, and their fourth at 50.
Despite what seemed to be awkward conditions, however, Dan Redfern looked to be in the form of his life, and he played confident strokes all round the wicket. At lunch Redfern had made 52 made from only 55 balls out of 96 for four. After the break he, in partnership with Ross Whiteley, continued to make good progress and this pair were not parted until they had equalled the fifth wicket record for the county in all matches against Northamptonshire – 160.
Redfern was bowled for 110, his maiden first-class century, made from 143 balls with thirteen fours. From this point, 210 for five, the rest of the batsmen managed only another 76 between them, but the final total of 286 was far more than had looked likely earlier in the day. Whiteley went for a well-crafted 83 made from137 balls (11 fours and 2 sixes).
Surrey v Derbyshire at The Oval on 12 to 14 September: LV County Championship: Division 2
Date: 12-09-2011
Tournament: LV=CC
Report by: John Brown
Match Result: Surrey (24 points) beat Derbyshire (2) by an innings and 126 runs
Derbyshire finished their season with a match against Surrey who needed to win if they were to have a chance of gaining promotion to the First Division. It seemed that the cricketing fates were on Surrey's side and against Derbyshire (and Northamptonshire!) right from the start.

Jayne Miller is a romance writer whose life does not read like one of her books. She met and married a man who was full of life. They had a lovely daughter named Lucy. Unfortunately, Greg didn't want any responsibility and they grew far apart, ending in divorce. Greg got everything but her personal investments from her writing and a house from his grandmother in Sweetwater, Tennessee. The house described by Greg was nothing like the one floor one room cottage that Jayne finds when she gets to Sweetwater. But she had packed up everything and moved from Chicago, so she has no choice but to stay.
Her only neighbor on the isolated mountain road is Tyler Lewis. Tyler owns most of the land around her house and he had even tried to buy the house just to keep out other neighbors. Tyler wants his privacy and has good reason for it. He was raised in an abusive home, watching his mother being beaten often. He suffered beatings himself. He did all he could to protect his mother and his younger siblings, but at just the age of 14, could not keep his father from hurting his mother. One night, after years of abuse, his mother killed his father. The kids, including Tyler, were shipped off to his mother's family in Sweetwater. It is here he has lived. When he broke up with a girlfriend because he feared he was like his father, Tyler decided he needed to live his life alone. He is lonely though. His true nature comes out as he is always willing to help someone in need. That someone now is Jayne and Lucy, who is starved for a man's affection, having gotten little from her self-centered father.
This story moves at a good pace and yet, the romance moves slowly. Both Jayne and Tyler are leery and take things the way one would expect. There are some starts and stops that seem natural given their circumstances. And there are some romantic scenes that fit with their personalities, which are both warm and caring. There is some humor, as Jayne finds herself in situations that her heroines might be in, yet with different results. It's fun in watching Tyler try to maintain his distance while thriving on the love and attention given by Jayne and Lucy. And there is heartache as they both, but particularly Tyler, try to work past their previous pain and allow themselves to be open to love and a future.
This is not a perfect story. There are some things that you have to accept, like the fact that everyone knows about the history of the Lewis family, but that gossip doesn't run rampant and the town seems accepting of Tyler's mother, now that she is out of prison. Tyler's family seems normal despite the trauma. His sister Rebecca is the most warped and it feels as if she has a story of her own coming soon. Jayne goes from being a bit of a naďve city girl to really getting into country living in a quick period of time. This is only a slight distraction.
Overall, Somebody's Hero is a story with depth of characters and a winning story that keeps the reader feeling like this is a pair they want to have a happy ending. Often, that sense of camaraderie is the best kind of feeling for a romance reader.

50 IPOs of Rs 40,000 cr called off: SMC Global | |||
30 May 2012, 09:18 AM | |||
By Jagannadham Thunuguntla, Strategist & Head of Research, SMC Global Securities The year 2012 has already seen call-off of 17 IPOs. The probable amount that these 17 IPOs were planning to raise was to an aggregate of Rs 5,928 Crores. The list of the 17 companies who have called-off their IPOs during 2012 include: Micromax, Embassy Property, Joyalukkas, Lokmat Media, VRL Logistics, Aravali Infrapower, Semantic Space Technologies, etc This is in addition to the call-off of 29 companies during 2011 calendar year. The probable amount that these 29 companies were planning to raise was to an aggregate of Rs 32,400 Crores. So, starting 1st January 2011 till date, about 46 IPOs were called off. The total amount they were expected to raise was about Rs 38,326 Crores. All these 46 companies had valid SEBI approval in hand for their IPOs. Even then, they couldnt open their IPOs within the validity period of one year from the date of SEBI approval. Besides this, starting 1st January 2011 till date, about 4 IPOs were withdrawn due to poor response. This list includes Samvardhana Motherson, Goodwill Hospitals, Plastene, Galaxy Surfacants. The total amount they were expected to raise was about Rs 2,000 Crores. All in all, 50 IPOs didnt materialized during the period between 1st January 2011 till date. The aggregate that these IPOs expected to raise was about Rs 40,326 Crores. This surely will impact the Indian corporates ability in fund raising to finance their expansion projects resulting in slow down in capacity building and job creation. Further, the government's disinvestment program which was supposed to bring public issues of several blue-chip PSUs couldnt take off. The recent lukewarm response to ONGC auction can also impact the confidence of the public issue market. The secondary market and global liquidity hold key for the future of IPO market.Institutional holding more than 40% in Indian cos To read the full report click on the attachment... |

'Scream 4': Lauren Graham is 'probably the killer'
"Gilmore Girls" and "Parenthood" star Lauren Graham is the latest
It turns out Lauren Graham is playing Emma Roberts' mom in the new movie and THAT'S ALL SHE KNOWS! DUN DUN DUN! She jokes that she's "probably the killer." That'd be excellent. Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin have also been linked to the movie, along with the three surviving "Scream" actors Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
Jennifer Aniston, as a bestie of Courteney Cox, was also rumored to be involved as the infamous opening-sequence victim, but a source told Zap2it that is untrue.
The really amazing thing about this interview is not "Scream" related, but actually that Lauren Graham played the World Cup mascot Stryker the dog during the US-hosted 1994 World Cup. That is AWESOME to the nerdy sports fan inside us.
But how excited are you getting about "Scream 4"? We are so pumped!
Follow Zap2it and Zap2it Andrea on Twitter and Zap2it on Facebook for the latest TV, movie and celebrity news.
That's awesome news, I hope she dosen't die!!!
Can't wait for Scream 4!!!
Wow. That'd be like Gilmore girls meets Michael Myers. Yes Please! Lets hope she has an actual part and not just be the 'mom of'- role that hollywood is sick with these days.
How much money do studio execs need to loose before they realize we want to see the entire spectrum of ages in a film, not just the 'rich white kids with problems' microcosm.
Remember, in the OC- the best RWKWP production on record, the parents were in the show as much as the kids. And atleast some of them acted their age.
What on earth is RWKWP?
So, are we supposed to believe that the Patrick Dempsey character from "Scream 3" isn't mentioned? He didn't get killed, so I guess he'll be forgotten.
Tim it's been 10 years why should he be mentioned. He might still be cast. The movie doesn't come out until April 15, 2011.
I think it will be a female killer this time, or a pair of female killers. That scenes sticks out in my mind where the two girls are sitting and said they think the idea of a killer stalking women is attractive.

Many people take accessory cord quality for granted; however, there is a difference. Sterling Rope cords are unique and they believe better in many ways. Sterling Rope twists the sheath yarn which makes their cords last longer and handle better. Sterling also works with original equipment manufacturers (OEM) offering them an endless variety of cords that are functional, durable, and even fashionable. Warning: Accessory cords are not for use as climbing ropes! Sorry for yelling about it. These Sterling Rope cords are packaged in pre-cut lengths.

Average Custy Rating:

Bought 7m of 6mm cord to use as cordalette for anchor building and self-/vertical rescue scenarios and training. Although it's weaker (lower force rating) than the usual 6m of 7mm, you get more cord to build anchors with AND you need to use fewer wraps even for smaller diameter climbing ropes than you would have to with the 7mm. Additionally, it's less bulky on your rack and even a tad lighter. Sure, being a smaller diameter will make it wear out faster, but the quicker you replace your gear ensures its integrity as well as allowing you to rack up them Moosejaw points.Love the Madness.Basically, trad and canyoneers will frown at it, but alpinists will eat it up.
I purchased this accessory cord for 1 purpose and 1 purpose only... Prusik knots. With my 9.8 Evolution rope, this accessory cord is the perfect size to tie a Prusik knot when rapping. The cord provides the perfect amount of friction with the rope without being overwhelming.
bought this rope to replace all the old cordage on all my climbing gear. love the fact that its so versatile. great for just about anything that you can think of. doesn't stretch out and makes aid climbing easier. tie up your hammock, dog leash, or throw it over a branch to hoist up your gear to keep it away from the critters.
Well, nothing super-fancy here, just a normal accessory cord. I bought the 6mm, which was great for making prusiks. Good price, however, if you just want a cord for one prusik, 50feet might be overkill. But I guess you can always find some uses for this cords anyway, make a lasso and catch a reindeer or something.Too bad you can't choose the color yourself.

« on: August 27, 2013, 01:29:09 PM »It's an icing bucket. 3.5-4 gallons I guess.For those of you using a Barley Crusher... I made a hopper extender using a bucket. It will hold ~20 lbs. of grain.That's very slick. Is that a 1 gallon bucket?
