In the end, few wanted to join Fox's ''girls club.'' The network canceled the series Tuesday after just two low-rated outings. And while slews of new shows get the ax every fall, it's rare for it to happen to series creator and writer David E. Kelley, whose long streak of hits -- ''Picket Fences,'' ''Ally McBeal,'' ''The Practice,'' and ''Boston Public'' -- has now apparently come to an end. As the New York Times reports, no Kelley show has ever been scrapped this quickly.
'The ''Ally''-like ''girls club,'' about three attractive young women lawyers that filled ''Ally'''s old timeslot on Mondays at 9 p.m., finished fifth in that slot on Monday, behind even the WB (new hit ''Everwood'') and UPN (''Girlfriends'') and drawing just 5 million viewers. Its lackluster numbers contrasted with Fox's overall Nielsen win as last week's most-watched network, averaging 16.3 million viewers, thanks to the World Series.
The show is a rare flop for Kelley, who last season had three shows on the air at once (''Practice,'' ''Ally,'' and ''Boston'') and was writing for all of them. Critics lambasted ''girls club''; Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker found the series ''pretty repellent'' and wrote of Kelley, ''It's time for this writer to go into a dark room and put a cool, damp washcloth on his brow. He needs to give it a rest for a while.''
Kelley issued a statement yesterday, saying, ''While I am disappointed that the show did not succeed, I remain proud of the entire cast and crew of 'girls club.''' Fox has not commented on the cancellation, perhaps because it still has an ongoing relationship with Kelley, as the network continues to air ''Boston'' and has a deal with the writer/producer to create future shows.
However, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox Broadcasting entertainment president Gail Berman did acknowledge yesterday that the network had made some errors in planning its fall lineup, particularly in scheduling new shows to premiere before the baseball playoffs and then letting them lose their momentum for a month. At a New York breakfast for the International Radio & Television Society Foundation, she said the disruption caused ''disarray in terms of getting a toehold'' for new shows like ''Fastlane, ''John Doe,'' and ''Firefly.'' ''It's very difficult to preview two nights of programming and take the programs off for four weeks.''
Plus, the all-California World Series proved to be of only mild interest to viewers in the rest of the country, resulting in low ratings compared to previous years and a weaker-than-expected platform to promote Fox's new shows.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Exactly what I wanted!
Vintage Bunting Rectangle Invitations Nice vintage feel to match our location in historic space. Used for small, not-first wedding for small gathering of family and friends. Nice weight to the rectangle invitation, required standard postage (easy), shipped quickly. Was on fence about cream vs ivory envelope. Made a note on order, and went w my gut feel. Someone actually called me to give their opinion and agreed that cream would look best w color palette! Impressed w customer service that actually read my order and called to reassure me on my choice. I was happy w the envelope color when I saw everything. I'd recommend them A+++ to anyone considering ordering. Great experience and easy! One less thing to worry over. Thanks magnet street!
Something Blue Rectangle Invitations Can not believe how affordable and high quality these invitations were! So many design options to choose from. I have recommended to all my friends.
Awesome Value
Classic Violet Rectangle Invitations This card was exactly what we were looking for and 100% customizable. They worked with us and sent multiple previews to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great price for a great quality invitation. I recommend Magnetstreet to every bride!
Great Design
Classic Violet Rectangle Invitations I loved the lace look of the paper and the template design. It was a great place to start with my invitation! I was still able to personalize it and make a few changes that worked well for me. The designers made the changes and responded quickly so I was able to get my invitations ordered in a timely fashion, even with several edits.
Happy with it!
Vintage Bunting Rectangle Invitations I greatly appreciated the designer who went over our particular design multiple times. We used this but changed the colors to fit our wedding color. It's now the lovely summer invite that encompasses "the feel" of the reception we're trying to create- a fun summer afternoon/evening wedding.

The reason you're not married yet is because I don't really care why you're not married and no one else does, either. Seriously, nobody cares. You shouldn't care. Marriage isn't a tiara. It's not a ribbon to cut or one of those big novelty lottery checks. You don't "deserve" a husband. You're not Veruca Salt. You should be happy with whatever life gives you, because the only thing you truly "deserve" is a grave, although there just aren't enough funeral pyres in these modern times. But I don't want you to freak out. If you're not married, or single, or unhappy, then life is working out as it should. No one has a right to happiness. As Americans, we only have a right to the pursuit of happiness. This explains why we love cars so much. The road trip is more important than the tourist trap. Enjoy the view. Roll down the window.

Foo Fighters Taking Hiatus, Says Dave Grohl
Dave Grohl, Foo Fighter's frontman, has just announced that the band will be taking a break. Foo Fighters, the American alternative rock band from Seattle, has been holding strong since 1994. The band has recorded four albums and has sold 10 million albums in the US alone.
Dave Grohl sent out the news in a letter to the band's fans. He thanks everyone who has supported the band over the years and commented:
Never in my wildest dreams did I think Foo Fighters would make it this far. I never thought we COULD make it this far, to be honest. There were times when I didn't think the band would survive. There were times when I wanted to give up. But… I can't give up this band. And I never will. Because it's not just a band to me. It's my life. It's my family. It's my world.
Thankfully, this hiatus does not spell out the band's end. He continued:
Yes… I was serious. I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again. It feels strange to say that, but it's a good thing for all of us to go away for a while. It's one of the reasons we're still here. Make sense? I never want to NOT be in this band. So, sometimes it's good to just… put it back in the garage for a while…?
The lead singer remained humble and thanked his fans and his bandmates.

Just when you thought you've heard it all, along comes the news that Robert Kraft wants to bring the Super Bowl to New England.
Foxboro in February doesn't really do it for me, but maybe that's just my lack of vision. Close your eyes and you see palm trees, right?
Maybe not.
■ Take away one bad goal and Tuukka Rask has been great. Tim who?
■ The Rangers are like a basketball team that can't shoot.
■ 38 Studios is like the gift that keeps on giving around here.
■ You know it's over for Mark Sanchez with the Jets when he throws three interceptions in an OTA in May and it's supposed to be a big deal.
■ QUIZ OF THE WEEK: Who was the first major-league baseball player to have his number retired? (Answer near the bottom of the column.)
■ LINE OF THE WEEK comes from Big Papi on his home run Thursday night: "Fastball in, fastball out."
■ LINE OF THE WEEK II comes from Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith: "I wouldn't let Mark Sanchez throw me a paper bag sandwich."
■ LINE OF THE WEEK III comes from colleague Mark Divver on Kraft's desire to bring the Super Bowl here: "Why don't we make a bid on the next Olympics while we're at it."
■ You know the economy's bad with the news that ESPN is laying off people.
■ "On These Courts," a new book by Wayne B. Drash, is a wonderful story of ex-NBA star Penny Hardaway coaching an inner-city middle school team in his native Memphis.
■ Memo to Sergio Garcia: "Fried chicken" and "Tiger" in the same sentence is always going to get you in trouble.
■ Speaking of books, "The Obituary Writer," the new one by local treasure Ann Hood, is well worth it.
■ Is there anyone out there who thinks it's going to end well for Chad Johnson, or whatever he's calling himself now?
■ The Knicks need another big-time star to go along with Carmelo, and it's not Amare Stoudemire.
■ The most influential TV shows of all-time? The Atlantic magazine has "All in the Family," "The Tonight Show," "Saturday Night Live" and CNN as a 24-hour news cycle.
■ Speaking of Robert Kraft, there are reports floating around that he's exploring the idea of buying the Boston Globe.
■ Kevin Garnett just turned 37, just in case you want to send him a card.
■ I suspect Deborah Gist no longer can be effective here, whether she gets rehired or not.
■ Mariano Rivera has become this generation's version of Satchel Paige.
■ There's no truth to the rumor that A-Rod's destiny is to end up playing in Taiwan with Manny.
■ Or that Anthony Weiner in New York makes our politicians actually look good.
■ Maybe no one has exposed the myth of spring training more than David Ortiz.
■ Who knew the Fountain of Youth was in San Antonio?
■ Have we already seen the best of Gronk? Let's hope not, because there's no one else like him.
■ Memo to kids: Social media is not your friend.
■ I always thought Clay Buchholz was going to be good. But this good?
■ Terry Francona got more popular here after he left.
■ By the time I figure out what "Gangnam Style" is, it will be over.
■ The seasons come, the seasons go, and Dustin Pedroia is always great.
■ Did you see where Pacers' coach Frank Vogel said that the Heat "had a more intelligent attack at the basket than the Knicks did" after the first game of the Eastern Conference finals?
■ You know we're all living in the land of misfit toys around here with the recent news that Rhode Island continues to lose population.
■ Odds are LeBron doesn't get to the rim as easily as he did in his game-winning drive in the first game of the NBA Finals if the Pacers' Roy Hibbert was in the game.
■ Maggie McNamara, the Lincoln School lacrosse star headed for Harvard in the fall, is the daughter of colleague Kevin McNamara.
■ There are hitters, and then there is Miguel Cabrera.
■ "The Big Wedding" won't ever be confused with "Gone with the Wind," but it won't insult your intelligence, and DeNiro is always worth it.
■ QUIZ ANSWER: Lou Gehrig, by the Yankees on the Fourth of July in 1939, the day of his famous speech.
■ I hope I have better things to do than see "The Hangover Part III," a played out theme after the first "Hangover" movie, but I probably don't.
■ What's up with Jacoby Ellsbury?
■ The Pacers' Paul George has become an NBA star.
■ Ticket sales for both the Yankees and the Mets are down in New York.
■ You know the Visigoths have won, Bunky, with the news that Kim Kardashian supposedly has 18 million Twitter followers.

These laws usually include provisions stating something to the effect of, all edible parts of the animal must be used as food unless the animal (or part) is to be used as a...

At this distance in time I am unable to recall who England were playing at the time, where the game was, or who the batsman or bowler involved were. But I do remember the commentator, Jim Laker, temporarily deserting the unruffled and laconic style that I and every other cricket follower of my generation had grown up with. The reason was that it seemed that Alan Knott, standing back to a seamer, had put down a catch. The bowler, batsmen, fielders and umpires all looked confused. Laker clearly struggled with the concept as his comment was along the lines of
Looking at the players' faces I believe Knott may have put one down
, but he didn't seem convinced, and neither was I. Then, after the seemingly interminable wait for the slow-motion replay, he was forced to concede that the batsman seemed to have had a remarkable stroke of good fortune.
In those far-off days of the early 1970s television pictures were nothing like they are today. Now high definition pictures and instant replays at whatever speed the commentary team desire give players nowhere to hide. In the days of just one fixed camera, so that half the time the batsman obscured the armchair spectator's view of the wicketkeeper anyway, those charged with the pleasureable duty of describing the play were always circumspect in their criticism be it of players or umpires. The whole incident was of itself eminently forgettable, in the context of a game of cricket that has clearly not been able to park itself in my memory, but the concept of Knotty dropping a catch was so bizarre that I clearly remember the delivery itself, and Laker's reaction to it, to this day.
For me and most who had the pleasure of watching Knott ply his trade when he was at the peak of his powers he was the finest wicketkeeper in the game, but my elders and betters weren't quite so sure at the time, and nor were some of Knott's contemporaries. In fact the man himself, when asked, would shuffle around uncomfortably before laughing off the suggestion that he was even the best stumper then available to England, but then that view couldn't be taken seriously, as Knott was nothing if not self-effacing.
The truth of course is not quite so straightforward as simply coming up with a verdict as to who is
the best
, because wicketkeepers aren't all the same, and have slightly different approaches to the game. In some ways they even have different skill sets, although in truth mind-sets might be the better phrase. The question that was asked back in the 70s was whether Knott was a better wicketkeeper than his deputy, Derbyshire's Bob Taylor, in the same way that a generation before the same discussions took place involving Knott's Kent predecessor Godfrey Evans, and his final understudy, Northamptonshire's Keith Andrew. The fashion always seemed to be to acknowledge that Taylor and Andrew were better 'keepers, whose inferior batting kept them behind Knott and Evans in the pecking order.
Inevitably the next comparison made was that between Evans and Knott, and there were several, most notably Colin Cowdrey, who played extensively with both. Although he was therefore perfectly placed to make a judgment, Cowdrey was never one to indulge in such comparisons of teammates, but when it came to publishing his autobiography he had little choice but to tackle the issue. He ducked it as well he did the bumpers that Keith Miller and Ray Lindwall greeted him with in his debut Test back in 1954 writing
I do not see how anyone could be better than Godfrey Evans was on his day, and I can pay no higher compliment to Alan Knott when I say there are many days when he is clearly as good
Evans and Knott, the former in particular were, unlike Taylor and Andrew, showmen. Both, but particularly Evans, would raise their game on the international stage, and both thought nothing of throwing themselves spectacularly after the ball, arguably on occasions unnecessarily. But both were also very different in their approach to the job. Those that wax lyrical about Evans normally do so on the basis of the fact that he stood up to all but the fastest bowling, and his keeping to Alec Bedser is always the example cited. The very same Bedser, when a Test selector, always preferred Knott over Taylor but would complain at the fact that Knott stood back to almost all medium pacers, and he was particularly critical of his doing so to the distinctly easy-paced Bob Woolmer.
But there was no lack of skill on Knott's part, as anyone who saw him keeping to his Kent and England colleague Derek Underwood would have to acknowledge. Underwood was, the history books will tell you, an orthodox left arm spinner. That said just about the only orthodox thing about him was that he employed finger spin. He was close to medium pace and on a rain affected wicket could be all but unplayable. The ball that spun sharply from Underwood, or skidded through or jumped up was always taken beautifully by Knott, and I don't ever recall a catch going down from "Deadly", or for that matter a missed stumping.
The truth is that Knott's view was that he was better employed standing back and catching everything, rather than coming forward and missing a few. He noted that for all the rheumy-eyed reminiscing there were only ever three men stumped off Bedser in Tests. Knott was at his best when throwing himself into that no-man's land that exists between 'keeper and first slip or, as he was perfectly capable of doing, suddenly changing direction and flinging himself down the legside and coming up with a miraculous catch from an inside edge. Knott also reasoned, and no one could criticise him for this given the limited financial rewards that were available in his time, that he was much less likely to get injured standing back. On a similar tack Knott was at the vanguard of a revolution in glove design as larger, more heavily padded gauntlets came into vogue, as well as the webbing that makes a modern wicketkeeping glove look more like a baseball mitt than anything I saw in a kit bag as a child.
The 40 over John Player's Sunday League began in 1969 and the 55 over Benson and Hedges Cup in 1972. The 60 over Gillette Cup had started in 1963 and the perceived wisdom of the time was that spin bowling had no real place in the one day game, and swing and seam were the dominant bowling styles. The Knott era coincided with the advent of covered wickets as well, and the slow spinner seemed for a while to be in terminal decline. These factors helped to cause the art of wicketkeeping to change, and a generation was to pass before 'keepers started to regularly go back up to the stumps when quicker bowlers were operating.
The fact that Knott had so many imitators was helped by his individuality. He was never still, constantly going through carefully worked out calisthenic exercise routines between deliveries. And it wasn't just on the pitch that Knott's preparation was so intense. He showered and changed at every interval, and followed a strict dietary regime that involved copious amounts of fruit and milk. He always wore a floppy hat, had his shirt collar turned up to prevent his neck getting sunburnt and, to protect his elbows, always kept his shirt sleeves buttoned down.
And then there was Knott's batting. Fearless improvisation was the order of the day, a man for a crisis if ever there was one. His ability to frustrate the opposition bowlers and fielders was almost as important a part of his game as the runs he scored. He also managed to combine the grit and determination needed to shut up shop in a crisis, with the equally valuable ability to score runs in a hurry when they were needed. All this was achieved with a highly individual technique that certainly wasn't in any coaching manual, but which suited Knott perfectly. The cornerstone of the final version of that technique was an unorthodox grip in which the palm of his top hand, rather than the back of it, pointed down the pitch towards the bowler. The effect of this was that he relied largely on his bottom hand for the power in his shots. He was a superb cutter of the ball, and his speed on his feet, like a featherweight boxer, made him a fine player of spin, and his placement of his onside shots usually found the gaps in the field. His most memorable strokes however were those where he dabbed at short fast off side deliveries to lift them over the waiting slip cordon. In those pre 20/20 days few played the shot, but for Knott it was a rich source of runs.
When, at 16, Knott first played for Kent's junior sides he was selected as a promising batsman and off spinner. At that time the county had two of Evans' long-standing understudies, Derek Ufton and Tony Catt, and the county were much more interested in boosting their limited spin bowling options than signing another wicketkeeper. It was only when Ufton decided at the end of the 1962 season to concentrate on his soccer career that a vacancy arose, and in 1964 Knott got his chance and played in Kent's last eight games of the season. As Catt went off to South Africa in the close season Knott unexpectedly became Kent's first choice 'keeper, a position he then held right through to his retirement at the end of the 1985 season.
By the end of Knott's first full summer in 1965 it was clear where his career was going. Wisden spoke of his
magnificent form
both behind the stumps and with the bat, one particular effort in a match in which Kent were in dire straits being described as
an innings worthy of a master
In the mid 60s England's selectors were faced with a common dilemma. Their choice lay between a top quality stumper, Middlesex's John Murray, or a competent wicketkeeper who could also play as a frontline batsman, Sussex's Jim Parks. To make their decisions more difficult Parks had a disappointing record with the bat in home Tests, averaging just 23, whereas when overseas his average was north of 40. In 1967 Murray got the nod for the three home Tests against India, but a pair in the first Test against Pakistan, who were visiting in the second half of the summer, brought Knott a Test debut and, with seven catches in a comfortable England victory, he saw off Murray to secure, at 21, a place in the touring party to the Caribbean that winter.
His past successes overseas, including in the West Indies, meant that Parks played in the first three Tests that winter, but injury and loss of form brought Knott in for the fourth Test. It is a famous match, made memorable by Gary Sobers' ill-judged declaration that gave England the only definite result in the series, but it should not be forgotten that Knott played a crucial role with the bat. After West Indies began with 526 England were still less than half way towards that total when Knott joined skipper Cowdrey at the fall of the fifth wicket. They added 113 before Cowdrey was dismissed, and after that Knott shepherded the tail for 31 more precious runs before being left unbeaten on 69. In the fifth Test Sobers very nearly atoned for his mistake in the previous match. That he did not was due to Knott, firstly with Cowdrey again, this time from 41-5, and then with the tail, making an unbeaten 73 in just shy of four and a half hours in order to deny West Indies.
In 1969 West Indies were England's opponents again, for a three Test series in the first half of the summer. The home side won the first and last Tests with the second left drawn, but it was largely down to Knott that the final Test was won. The game was played on a green wicket at Headingley in overcast conditions, which meant that England did well to muster 223 and 240 after batting first. Knott, in obdurate nudging and nurdling mode, eked out innings of 44 and 31 to make a major contribution. West Indies first innings was just 161. Although the visitors' victory target of 303 would comfortably have been the highest score of the match, when their turn came to bat again the pitch had flattened out and the sun greeted them. They got to 219-3, just 84 short with Basil Butcher on 91, Clive Lloyd just settled in, and Sobers to come. Then Knott caught Butcher off Underwood. One writer described the chance as
a brute of a low catch
and went on
Knott dropped his gloves like a mongoose grabbing a rattlesnake
. Sobers almost immediately fell into a trap of Ray Illingworth's making and once, a few minutes later, Knott held another fine catch to dismiss Lloyd, the course of the game was changed irrevocably.
The highlight of Knott's career was, as for most who made the trip, the 1970/71 Ashes series where the urn was regained on Australian soil by Illingworth's side for the first time since Douglas Jardine in the famous
series of 1932/33. It wasn't Knott's best series with the bat. He kept getting starts but only once passed 50. He still averaged more than 30 however and his 24 victims behind the stumps were crucial. Illingworth wrote later
he is certainly the best wicket-keeper I have ever seen ...... and his top-class keeping was a major factor in our winning the Ashes
. Illingworth, in common with all Yorkshiremen, is not given to hyperbole, and he played with or against all the great keepers of the post World War 2 era, including Taylor, Evans and Andrew.
My first vivid memory of Alan Knott's batting comes from the next Ashes series, in England in 1972. Prior to the final Test it had not been his best series with bat but, despite having Denis Lillee and the mercurial Bob Massie in their attack, Australia went to the Oval 2-1 down. Batting had been difficult all summer, particularly for England as not a single century was scored by an Englishman in any of the five Tests and the Australians, probably deservedly, managed to square the series. In the defeat Knott scored 92 and 63. This was not however the unorthodox defensive Knott. This was the version who was looking to score at every opportunity. No bowler I have ever seen has swung the ball as far as Massie did in 1972 and Knott took him to pieces. In an innings which would have left all the coaches in the land shaking their heads with disapproval the inswingers were dispatched through the covers, and the outswingers hoisted over midwicket. Knott spent 224 minutes at the crease altogether for his 155 runs, so it was harum scarum stuff, but wonderful entertainment.
At this stage of his career Knott's batting tailed off markedly, and he started to struggle against the quicker bowlers. It was no lack of courage on his part but the 1973 West Indian quicks in particular had targetted him with short pitched deliveries and hit him regularly. After two Tests of the return series in the Caribbean that winter further failures caused Knotty to fear for his place and, after some experimentation, he decided to adopt the unusual grip on the bat that I have already referred to. He also opened up his stance. The effect was immediate as he scored half centuries in his next three innings. The new style also helped Knott to a personal triumph amidst the disaster that befell England when they encountered Lillee again, this time with Jeff Thomson, in 1974/75. Time and again Knott and Tony Greig were all that stood between England and total disarray. There was nothing either man could do to stop the Australian juggernaut rolling over their side, but three fifties and a century from Knott represented some sort of riposte, and were fully appreciated by the Australian crowd who, despite his many successes against them, always respected him. To further underline his quality in the face of adversity going into the final Test Knott headed England's batting averages. He richly deserved to do so at the end, but typically of the man he failed to fill his boots against the anodyne Australian attack, shorn of its twin terrors, that his teammates gorged themselves on to gain a comprehensive consolation victory.
Lillee and Thomson were not quite so effective in 1975, and David Steele emerged from nowhere to blunt their threat, but Knott too played his part as he averaged more than 37 and scored two important fifties. In 1976 Greig's team famously failed to make the first of the great West Indian pace packs grovel, and for three Tests Knott struggled along with the others. That English batting salvaged some pride at the end of the series was in no small part due to the century and two fifties that he made in the final two Tests.
In 1977 it was back to the Ashes, although England's convincing 3-0 win was rather overshadowed by the breaking news of World Series Cricket, and Knott was one of the four Englishmen, along with Greig, Underwood and John Snow, who signed up. In the ensuing furore and litigation Knott's Test place was lost and it was to be 1980 before, against West Indies, he regained it. His wicketkeeping was as polished as ever, but he failed miserably with the bat and for the final Test was replaced by David Bairstow who was not, with the greatest of respect to one of the game's more memorable characters, in the same league as Knott as a 'keeper and, when the latter was in his pomp, was not as good a batsman either.
So Knott missed the 1980/81 trip to the Caribbean, where neither former Kent teammate Paul Downton nor Bairstow made the place their own, and after Downton and Taylor failed to make any impression with the bat in the first four Tests of
Botham's Ashes
Knotty came back for what was to prove to be one last hurrah at the age of 35. His batting was not what it had been, but nonetheless he finally managed to finish an Ashes series at the top of the England averages, scoring a half century in each of the fifth and sixth Tests. His international career might conceivably have gone on for a little longer, and in particular he might have ended up with a century of Test appearances rather than the 95 he managed, but he knew the end was near and in 1981 he opted for security for his family rather than a personal milestone and he went to South Africa with Graham Gooch's rebels, and the consequent ban saw off any possibility of his wearing the three lions again.
After he came back from the Cape Knott played on for Kent until the end of the 1985 season and then enjoyed a varied career coaching, broadcasting and analysing the game. In 2009 he was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame at a special ceremony at Lord's. The only other wicketkeepers to share that honour are Rod Marsh and Sir Clyde Walcott, and I don't believe that anyone would really seek to argue that either were ever in the same class as Knotty as a 'keeper, let alone better. Do I still think he is the best there has been? Much as I respect Illingworth's views I would not ordinarily be concerned about disagreeing with him. But I am not going to ignore the evidence of my own eyes, even if I was a callow youth at the time. So no, I do agree with Illy and am happy to declare that I do not believe there has ever been a better wicketkeeper than Alan Knott.
You'd tend to concede more byes if you attack took 150 overs to take ten wickets than if they took 50 overs as well. In terms of currently available statistics I think you'd have to go by something like byes per 100 overs, but even that is very flawed for the reason you just gave. Short of someone keeping track of dropped catches and missed stumpings so we could work out percentages, wicket keeping in one area of the game we really have to just rely on our eye for.

I remember watching Knott and he was a good keeper, but its amazing how the players I watched in the 70's and 80's have improved over time.

He is my choice ahead of Gilchrist as well.
Comment by Hurricane | 4:17am gmt 20 Oct 2012
When I started watching cricket Knott was the England keeper, and then Taylor. For years I expected every catch and stumping to be taken and every throw to be handled smoothly. A bye was a shock.
It was only when I saw other keepers, for England and other Countries, that I realised these 2 were the very zenith of the craft (I found similar with regard to heavyweight boxing). Older people (some much, much older) that I watched with confirmed that there were none better in their memory.
They were both sublime in ther work, I always feel that Taylor had a very, very slight edge as a keeper but Knott was, of course, a far better batsman.
Knott would be my chioce of keeper for an all time World XI
Comment by Biryani Pillow | 4:08pm gmt 20 Oct 2012
My friend's dad reckoned he clean bowled him in an exhibition game. Did an Ashley giles ball of the century style delivery to him.
I actually refused to believe the story when told to me over a few beers - so the fellow rummaged through his scrap book and produced a newspaper clipping with the score card.

Brilliant article. I haven't read a Hutton bio, he's one of my favourite cricketers.
Lovely article mate. What a grand cricketer he was.
If I am being honest I think the article is a little short on the significance of him being England'
Been looking forward to this one for a while and was not disappointed - doesn't half drive home the
Absolutely brilliant piece. The fact that it was about one of my favorite cricketers didn't hurt
Fantastic, fred. Absolute top notch.
Another interesting article It would be good to see it tried in T20 at club level

Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum and have a question about moss. I have been gardening forever it seems, and NEVER throw away plants. If they dont do well somewhere, I move it. But I have a dilemma. I have a flagstone walkway and have painstakingly planted a walkable groundcover in the cracks "Blue Star Creeper". My problem is the moss that has taken a home in the cracks as well. It is lifting the groundcover and I fear it will not let the roots of it survive. I cant find anything to kill, "yes, I want to kill a plant!! sigh!!" the moss and leave my plant safe. Any ideas? |

lil squaw; Try miracle gro. It has zinc in it. You will be fertilizing the "Blue Star Creeper" and discouraging the moss. I am wondering why the moss is taking over. Is there enough light for the "Blue Star". Your walkable groundcover should easily out compete the moss unless the groundcover has issues with it's location. Again fert the groundcover. You can also purchase moss killers that contain zinc or copper salts that will kill it but unless your groundcover takes off the moss will just come back. A home remedy is to find something galvanized and pour water over it while lightly scrubbing the zinc surface. Catch the water in a receptacle and pour this water over the moss. The zinc from the galvanizing process will kill the moss. When I use live moss in wire hanging baskets I spray paint the wires black to prevent the zinc from killing the moss. Rick |
Thank you so much Rick.. I am on a mission now. The creeper is doing fine, and is thriving, but all the trailers and new growth is being lifted by the moss. I will try the zinc... thanks so much. Pamela |

No one can diagnose gum cancer based on symptoms, because it could be one of many different oral conditions. A biopsy is the only way to know. For example, swollen gums and tongue can be signs of cancer or infection.
And just to clear it up, people who have never smoked in their lives can get cancer too. And some viruses, like the HPV virus can cause gum and oral cancer too.

Juan, you need to do a google search for EACH species you have and determine the best conditions for that Passiflora. If conditions are not right for a particular one, you can trade the plant to someone in the right climate OR create the right environment for it. |

I saw one of these in Tomorrowland. Walt would have loved them!!!
I got to see Push on my last trip! And even more fun was trying to find the guy running him!
The Man behind Push
you mean PUSH doesn't talk on his own? Now you have ruined it for me
WDWRadio Moderator
I actually saw a relative of Push when I was at the Animal Kingdom in February. He kept getting these girls to do cheerleading routines for him. But I could never figure out who was controling the little dude.
I was just in Disneyland this past Sunday and ran into PUSH!!! he got the crowd to sing for a newlywed couple. I just stayed with the group of people and figured out who was really the man behind the can, so to speak.
Once I upload my pictures, I will post them!!!
when i go to disney im gunna look for push and the palm tree
I saw Push, and the guy "helping" him had the same white sweater and brown bag! I haven't downloaded that picture yet, I'll post it when I eventually get around to it!
I still haven't seen PUSH! Maybe on my next trip, I'll just hang around waiting for him all day.
"What ARRRRGH you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
"No, What ARRRRGH you doing?"Cap'n Jack lives again!"I'll try anything once or twice, that's the kind of mouse I am"
I've seen PUSH plenty of times, but haven't been able to see any of the others yet. Next time I'm at WDW I'll be sure to keep my eye out though!
Jeez, that is so tricky...it's like the CIA, but Disney-fied!

Hey! That's the same guy I saw "talking" for Push inside the store where the Stitch exit is...it was raining outside at the time. It's the first time that I've actually seen the person doing the talking!Originally Posted by Stitch
I Know this is quite a bump, but you relize, of course that you captured Push's "Friend" in the above photo too....Originally Posted by TrendyMagic
Red shirt, Black shoes, notice if you look closely that he has his right hand in a bag...
You all also know about Push's Brothers as well, right? they live at Cosmic Ray's. Heres a clue... they can't walk.
ok there has to be someone hiding controlling the talking walking trash can in tomorrowland SOMEBODY ANSWER MY QUESTION HOW DOES IT WORK
Life isn't about the destination, everybody gets to that. It is about the journey.
Download my Disney Toolbar! It has links to tons of great disney sites like this one!!!
It works with the same magic that makes everything work at Disney parks!
If you don't believe that, go back up a few posts and look carefully at the pictures, I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

Extracts from S&G February 2010 to date
Congratulations to Alex Schmarsel on being sent solo and to Henry Ford on passing his Bronze written exam. Members had a great trip to Portmoak in October with some fantastic flying. Matt Wright did his usual trick of launching in the morning and not landing until it got dark. Our DG-505 spent a month in Talgarth with members attending for some very interesting flying due to the weather - one instructor claimed he had had his 'hairiest' aerotow in over 2,000 hours of flying! Unkind weather has given us time to strip out and renovate our glider workshop. Many thanks must go to Peter Smith who has organised this, and to the club members who have put in many hours of hard toil. Our old winch has now been sold to make way for a new Skylaunch.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to Rowan Smith, who was sent solo in January. Also to James Hood who has passed his Bronze exam. Our AGM saw a good turnout with a packed clubroom. Peter Smith has taken over as chairman from Mike Fairclough, and Pete Harmer has eagerly taken on the duty of CFI from John Burrow. Amongst the many awards given this year were Paul Summers for the most improvement, Dave Reilly for the club ladder, Henry Ford for the best flight in a wooden glider and Peter Field for best performance in two-seater competitions. The Wily Old Bird trophy was awarded to retiring treasurer Peter Callaghan. A special award from club members and original caricature by Matt Wright was presented to Mike Fitzgerald in recognition of his achievement of 50 years' dedicated instructing with the club.
Cheryl Smith
Easter Sunday saw Pete Startup, Simon Minson and John Pursey complete a 100km triangle, the first good cross-country day for a long time. An instructor training course held in February was very successful and, despite the snow, Matt Wright and Mark Courtney managed to climb to 8,000ft in wave. We are enjoying smooth launches with our 'borrowed' Skylaunch. Many members have been trained as winch drivers (thanks to Les Hill) and we have added rope splicing to our skills. We were sad to hear that Dr Gordon Peters, one of our founder members, had passed away in February.
Cheryl Smith
The weather has taken a turn for the better and so have club members. Congratulations to Jonathan Stoneman and Mark Layton on their solos and to Rowan Smith and Ed Hirons for converting to single-seaters. Ernie Perrin and John Sillett have both become Assistant Instructors. Nick Harrison gained five-hour duration and Silver height during our trip to Portmoak. Kaye Alston has gained Silver height. Henry Ford got his 50km with a flight to The Park, Peter Smith gained both 50km and 100km and Daniel Johns gained his 100km during a cross-country week organised by Ron Johns. Our Bronze pilots are rapidly increasing with Paul Summers and Joao Leitao passing exams in May. An amazing start to the season!
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to David Stevenson on going solo. Rowan Smith has passed his Bronze paper and completed his first solo aerotow - all within his first year of gliding! Well done to Fred Marks for winning the
novice class in a recent inter-club competition. Many members enjoyed a trip to Long Mynd, where Paul Summers achieved his five-hours. Matt Wright and John Burrow have both been flying at La Motte Du Caire, with Jacques Noel and his team. We had a surprise visit from the 'Swift' Display Team who dropped in for breakfast en-route to RNAS Culdrose Air Day.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to Roland Clarke, our newest Basic Instructor. He has been relishing his role with a good number of trial lessons. Well done to both Nigel Everett and Peter Stoker on their first solos. The weather has brought some mixed fortunes, but September saw some good cross-country flying, including Steve Westlake, Pete Startup, Mike Fairclough and Matt Wright. A fantastic party was enjoyed to say a fond farewell to 'H' (Hilary Evans) who has catered for us over many years, and provided an endless supply of tea and bacon butties. She was presented with many gifts including an original cartoon by Matt Wright, and honorary life membership of the club.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to Dylan Davies and Will Bond, who both went solo within a few days of their 16th birthdays and, not to be outdone, Dylan's father, Wyn, was sent solo at the beginning of December. Andrew Mugleston and Lisa Humphries have both now achieved Assistant Instructor ratings. Well done to both.
Recent trips have seen us at Portmoak and an icy Talgarth, where some great ridge and wave flights were had, including Henry Ford's landing into a field newly spread with manure! The arrival of snow has not hampered us too much and a stalwart band has been braving the icy blasts with aerotows.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to Heather Clarke (our first solo of 2011) and to lan Foster (re-soloed). January has given us some decent days - along with ice, wind and wave, as James Hood, Heather Clarke, Simon Leeson and Wyn Davies found out. A successful course week has been held for those wishing to start Full Cat training, with thanks to Simon Leeson and Mark Courtney for organising this. We have welcomed new members from Exeter University gliding club. The winter gave us time for maintenance and inspections and thanks go to Pete Startup, Andrew Logan and lan Mitchell and a band of helpers for their long hours in the workshop.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to newly-solo David Clements. Dylan Davies, Wyn Davies and Will Bond have all converted to single-seaters and are enjoying the start of the season. Members are having a superb week at Portmoak, experiencing wave, most days to around 9-10,000 feet. Congratulations to Rowan Smith and Paul Summers for completing their 5-hours, Henry Ford for Silver height and James Hood a 50km, (fractionally missing his 5-hours with 4hrs 58mins on the logger).
Mike Fitzgerald has been presented with a framed diploma from the BGA in recognition of his services to gliding for over 50 years.
Preparations are well under way for our open weekend at the end of May.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to Rhodri Davies (the third of the Davies clan to be sent solo at North Hill) and Peter Dugdale (a power convert), who have both soloed, and to Mike Sloggett on his Bl rating. Ron Johns organised a cross-country week, which was a great success. One weekend bought us the rare opportunity to aerotow to the coast for stunning soaring of the South Devon cliffs, entertaining golfers and coast path walkers from West Bay, Branscome, Beer and Sidmouth (see p38). Our open weekend was successful with 150 people experiencing their first ever glider flights over the two days.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to Geoff Lawrence, sent solo in August, and Ray Rimes for completing his five-hours in July. Daniel Johns achieved a 300km Diamond flight to Candover Church and back and Andrew Logan gained Silver height in his K-6 on an excellent soaring day, which also saw a number of cross-country flights. Expeditions have included trips to Derbyshire's Camphill (very welcoming) and a number of members visited La Motte Du Caire for some adrenalin fixes. Thanks go to our younger members, who have been putting in 'extra time' working hard and even camping on the field in some foul weather.
Cheryl Smith
There are no words to describe how shocked and sad we were to hear of Kaye's sudden death while holidaying with her husband Eric in their yacht off the Turkish coast last May.
At North Hill we all knew Kaye as a keen pilot, sharing an LS7 with Eric. We knew her as the mother of Claire and the twins, Alasdair and Daniel. We knew her as a warm, friendly person with a smile as broad as her Scottish accent. We also knew that she was somehow involved in medical matters at Torbay hospital, and that she and Eric also shared an interest in sailing.
It is such a pity that one frequently doesn't understand the full picture until such a sad occasion as this. In fact, Kaye was extremely well-respected in medical circles as a senior anaesthetist at Torbay hospital and, as befits somebody with such a warmth and closeness to the human condition, was also qualified in Clinical Hypnosis. Sailing? Yes, Kaye was equally keen and successful when getting wet. She was sailing when she first met Eric some years ago in Scotland, and they continued their passion for that sport as well as for gliding ever since, with numerous racing successes, and also holidaying on board.
And so it was that earlier in 2011, with Eric recently retired and Kaye about to do likewise in order that they could take more time enjoying their sports, their family, and each other's company, Kaye passed away in her sleep whilst on board their yacht off the coast of Turkey in May, .
Eric has told us that, just the day before she died, Kaye had told him that she had never been so happy as she was then.
Eric, the thoughts of all at North Hill are with you.
Christopher Heide, Devon & Somerset GC
New solos include Malcolm Vest, Tom Sides, Richard Farrer and Liam Vile (on his 16th birthday). Congratulations also to Dylan Davies, who completed his Bronze within a year of his first solo, and to Matt Wright, who has the full set of Diamonds. More than 50 members took the opportunity to visit Exeter airport ATC, which gave us a good insight into their operations. Rowan Smith arranged for Guy Westlake to offer aerobatic training and start Bonfire Night with glider aerobatics and pyrotechnics. Our greatly improved website is live with superb photos and videos.
Cheryl Smith
After a carvery dinner in the clubhouse, decorated for Christmas by Cheryl, the AGM and presentation of trophies took place in early December. Just one first solo recently - David Thorpe in early January. The same day Steve Stevenson re-soloed after 17 years. Flying has continued, weather permitting, with fettling and lectures when it wasn't. Ian Mitchell decided he did not want to join us on the field in the cold January weather so went to Gariep Dam for fantastic soaring and South African sunshine. A number of our juniors have joined a K-6 syndicate and are enjoying a glider considerably older than they are!
Graham Barden
Congratulations to Rowan Smith, James Hood and Matt Wright, who have completed Bl training. The weather has seen some early cross-country flights and Ron John's task week is eagerly awaited. Matt Wright was awarded the Philip Wills National Enterprise Trophy during this year's BGA conference. This magnificent trophy was in recognition of a flight soaring the cliffs of the South Coast (featured in a previous S&G) and included a presentation and film footage. We were saddened to hear of the passing of Joe Acreman recently. A good number of club members, both past and present, attended a memorial service for a very popular man, who will be much missed.
Cheryl Smith
Congratulations to Max Bond (solo a few months after his 16th Birthday). We have now been granted BGA Junior accreditation. A good number attended Ron John's crosscountry task week with some excellent achievements, including Nick Harrison (Silver distance), Wyn Davies (Silver distance and five hours) with an out-and-return to The Park, and Tim Johns (Silver distance). Our recent open weekend was a great success with nearly 90 people flown, including a lady given a surprise for her 60th birthday.
Cheryl Smith
"A legend." "Always readyto help." "One of the nicest blokes ever." These are some of the comments posted when the news of Joe's death reached us and they really do sum up the tremendous warmth of feeling that we all had for Joe.
He was born in October 1931 and named Ronald Henry Charles Acreman. Nan Acreman had her own views, however, and called him Joseph, so Joe he has been ever since to everyone who knew him.
Known as a quiet man, Joe didn't like being the centre of attention or throwing his weight around. But behind those bright blue eyes was a spirit of fun and adventure, which he never lost. He remained a motorcyclist and fan of motorbike and car racing throughout his life.
For over 40 years, Joe's greatest hobby was flying. In particular, he loved gliding. He joined both the Devon & Somerset and Mendip Gliding Clubs, taking his first solo flight in 1969. Later he helped the clubs by passing on his experience as an instructor and becoming chairman and tugmaster at Devon & Somerset for several years.
Clearly, he loved nearly every minute he spent with those clubs and they were lucky to have his dedication. Needless to say, between being tugmaster and instructor and his own solo flying, he ran up an enormous number of flying hours.
Joe had always been a little accident prone. During his National Service in the Air Force, he tripped when leaping out of the back of a moving truck and broke both his arms and one of his legs, but he bounced back more determined than ever. Interestingly, he spent more than 12 months of his two-year National Service in hospital and recuperation, which must be record of some sort.
Perhaps it is not surprising then that his flying days also came with a few bumps and bruises. When on a gliding trip to Lancashire, a tractor ran over him breaking various bones including both his pelvic bones and sockets. These were injuries that would have floored a man in his 20s, let alone one of 68. To suffer and recover from this once was remarkable, but to do it all again a few years later after a flying accident was just unbelievable. All his bones so carefully put back together were once more shattered. Joe astonished
medical science and all of us by applying all that determination a second time to bounce back yet again.
Later in life Joe suffered various ailments, but these couldn't keep him down. Nothing could make him sit still, unless a Grand Prix was on the television, but eventually even Joe could not put off the final launch to the flying club in the sky. Yes, Joe now has wings of his own and is no doubt making full use of them.
Chris Heide (DSGC) and Richard Acreman (Son)
We have battled on with our summer courses; Inter-club Leagues and air experience evenings and have a number of happy new pilots, keen to continue training. Many members have been made very welcome visiting other clubs during the summer, including Talgarth, Portmoak and Camp Hill. Some even gave up on the UK weather and headed to La Motte du Caire in various stages, feeding back excellent reports and stunning photos, causing Mark Courtney to threaten to jump in the River Tamar if the flying here did not improve.
Cheryl Smith
A truly amazing summer of achievements! Congratulations for first solos to Ruth Comer, Mark Eatough, Mike Horwood, Ray Dodd, Andreas Kraemer and George Vojtisek. Rowan Smith has achieved his Gold distance and Diamond goal. Dylan Davies gained Silver duration and Liam Vile achieved Silver distance on his first cross-country flight from North Hill to the Park (with his first field landing very close by). It is good to see Mike Robinson and Ian King back in the cockpit and re-soloed after a lay off, and re-soloes from Ian Gawn, Chris Colville and Adrian Phillips, who have all joined the club this year.

Buying or selling of church offices or powers. The name is taken from Simon Magus (Acts 8:18), who tried to buy the power of conferring the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Simony was said to have become widespread in Europe in the 10th–11th century, as promotions to the priesthood or episcopate were bestowed by monarchs and nobles, often in exchange for oaths of loyalty. Changes in the understanding of the nature of simony and the relationship between lay and religious orders contributed to the perception of the growth of simony, even though corrupt practices did exist. Rigorously attacked by Pope Gregory VII and the reform movement associated with him, the practice recurred in the 15th century, but after the 16th century its more flagrant forms disappeared.

Currently renovating an 80's ranch and I'm stuck on what to do with the existing fireplace. I'm considering doing some type of built in to the left and incorporating the TV as well. Any suggestions on what I should do to update the fireplace? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by desertdance (My Page) on Fri, Apr 19, 13 at 10:00
You may get some good suggestions in the remodel forum and the home decorating forum. It really looks off balance, and the mantel seems too high. What are the measurements of the wall it's on? Is that an electrical outlet in the brick above the mantel? Usually when they build off center like that, there is a wood box next to the fireplace. Is there one, and they just bricked over it? If you add something to the other side, be sure to check the fire codes because there needs to be a certain amount of inches worth of fire resistant covering around the fireplace. You might need to add more brick to the open side. You have a real puzzle there! Good luck with it! Suzi |

Gosh, The 80's...that generation never ceases to amaze. If you're willing to knock out brick to build a cubby, why not just nock down all the brick and rebuild in a shape that's pleasing to you? You'll spend a ton of time breaking up the mortar line, picking out bricks, bracing the top course of brick (now lacking support from below), and building out a cavity. IMHO, I'd tear it all down, and rebuild with more contemporary mansory in a structure that it appealing. |
Are you looking for a budget solution or a rebuild it solution? For a budget update, I'd paint the brass black with stove paint, and remove the mantel, paint it and re-mount lower down. Normally I am a fan of painted brick fireplaces but I actually don't mind the brick you have. So if you don't like the brick paint it all warm white, but you could wait and see how you like it with furniture and decor first. I'd put book cases on both sides either freestanding or built ins. Place fireplace tool set, a wood hopped or other decorative fireplace related item on the hearth to the left to balance out the offset firebox. |

Tinan I have been looking for a suitable paint to get rid of some brass around one of my gas fireplaces. Where can I source "Stove paint" my Sherwin Williams guy can't help me, he's suggesting engine paint but it's too glossy. |
I found black stove paint at Ace Hardware - it is matte black and meant for painting iron stoves... ie heat resistant! It's also sold as "BBQ and stove paint" you can find it at most hardware and HI stores. I have also heard people use rustoleum on the outside of fireplace doors like this, probably heat is not such a big problem so you don't necessarily need stove paint if only painting the outside. I painted the inside of our firebox too as it was stained. To use a spray like rustoleum you'd have to do a very good masking job, and probably better to remove the doors and lay them flat to prevent drips. |

Tinan, Thank you very much. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Snickers!
Facts about Snickers
- Breed: Brittany/Spaniel (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Snickers's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This gorgeous little hunk of 10 month old eye candy is appropriately named Snickers. He's looking for his forever home with someone who can appreciate his luminous green eyes, pouty bottom lip, and completely natural chocolate coloring (no dye job for this handsome guy). He loves to goof around with his people, play with other dogs, and he even adores those loud, noisy things you call children! He's been completely vetted and is heart worm negative. If you're interested in making this GORGEOUS (though not arrogant) guy a member of your family, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at Beyond Bars Animal Rescue - Maryland
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Snickers, a Hagerstown Brittany/Spaniel (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Brittany/Spaniel (Unknown Type) for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a Brittany/Spaniel (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Hagerstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hagerstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hagerstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Brittany/Spaniel (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Brittany/Spaniel (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hagerstown paves the way for another one to be saved.
