Michael John Clarke (born 2 April 1981) is a professional Australian cricketer and captain of the Australian cricket team for both Test and ODI cricket. Nicknamed 'Pup', he is a right-handed middle-order batsman, and an occasional left-arm orthodox spin bowler. He represents New South Wales at a domestic level. In January 2011, Clarke stood down as captain of the Australian Twenty20 cricket team to concentrate on his Test and ODI performance.[2]
Contents |
Clarke made his debut for New South Wales as an eighteen-year-old in the 1999–2000 Sheffield Shield. Clarke made his One Day International debut in January 2003 against England at Adelaide. He was an AIS Australian Cricket Academy scholarship holder in 1999–2000.[3]
Clarke was chosen to make his Test debut against India at Bangalore, October 2004, despite having a first-class average below 40. He succeeded on debut, scoring 151 and consequently helping Australia to victory, invoking comparisons to past Australian batsmen such as Doug Walters and Mark Waugh. The innings, felt Peter Roebuck, was especially notable for its aggression and freedom. "Not that the assault was reckless," he added. "Indeed the control was impressive. Clarke calculated the risks and took his brains with him down the track. Of course he need [sic] a bit of luck, was plumb in front in the nineties, but few begrudged him his hundred. And everyone except his weary foes celebrated with him and his tearful family when he reached three figures. After all, he had advanced both the match and the game."[4]
Clarke went on to play a major part[citation needed] in Australia's 2–1 series victory, their first in India in over thirty years, contributing figures of 6 for 9 off 6.2 overs in the Fourth Test, which Australia lost.
On his return to Australia he made another debut century, his first home Test in Brisbane against New Zealand, becoming one of the few Test cricketers to have achieved the feat of Test centuries on both their home and away debuts.[citation needed]
In recognition of his performance in the 2004 calendar year, he was awarded the Allan Border Medal in 2005.
Clarke's poor form during the 2005 Ashes series and his failure to score a test century for over a year saw him dropped from the Test team in late 2005. Clarke had previously remarked that one of his career aims was to never be dropped from the Test team. In early 2006, after making his first first-class double century and scoring heavily in ODIs, Clarke was recalled for the tour of South Africa. He was then picked over Andrew Symonds for the April 2006 Tests against Bangladesh. Two consecutive centuries in the second and third Ashes Tests while Shane Watson was injured helped Australia to regain the Ashes and cemented Clarke's position in the Test team.[citation needed]
Clarke then helped Australia retain the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies where they did not lose a game. After Damien Martyn's retirement he was elevated to number 5 in the batting line up. He had a superb tournament making 4 fifties including a 92 and a 93* against the Netherlands and South Africa. He also made an unbeaten 60 against South Africa in the semi final to guide Australia into the final at Barbados, against Sri Lanka.
Clarke faced only 4 balls for 3 runs in the ICC World Twenty20, when Australia were knocked out by India in the semi final. Two weeks later he made 130 against India in the first of a 7 match ODI series. He did not maintain that form in the remaining 6 matches mustering up just one fifty. He opened the batting in the final 2 games after a hip injury ruled out Matthew Hayden and he made two golden ducks. In the tour-ending Twenty20 match Clarke dropped back down the order with the return of Hayden, and scored 25 not out in a heavy defeat to the current Twenty20 world champions.
On 9 November 2007, Clarke notched up his fifth Test century against Sri Lanka in a two Test series. Clarke shared a 245 run partnership with Mike Hussey at the Gabba in Brisbane, Hussey departed on 133 but Clarke went on and had a partnership with Symonds who made 53*, the pair were unbeaten when Ricky Ponting declared the innings, Clarke top scoring with 145 not out.
On 5 December 2007, Cricket Australia named Clarke as captain of Australia for their one-off Twenty20 game against New Zealand in Perth, after deciding to rest Ponting and Hayden.[5]
On 6 January 2008, Clarke dismissed Harbhajan Singh, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma in the second last over of the day, with just 8 minutes remaining, to claim the final three wickets and win the test match for Australia (at one stage he was on a hat trick, dismissing Harbhajan Singh and RP Singh on consecutive deliveries). His innings figures were 3 for 5 in 1.5 overs. Australian captain Ricky Ponting had declared that morning, setting India a total of 333 to chase and allowing Australia arguably too little time to bowl out the visitors. Clarke's wickets ensured that Australia retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2008 and kept their world record equalling 16 match win streak alive.
After the retirement of Adam Gilchrist, in April 2008 Clarke was named vice-captain of the Australian side.[6] Clarke missed the start of Australia's 2008 tour of the West Indies following the death of Bingle's father, meaning Hussey took over as vice-captain for the start of the tour.[citation needed] Soon after Clarke joined up with the squad, he scored a century in the second Test in Antigua, going on to captain the side in the final two One Day Internationals, both of which were won, in the absence through injury of Ponting.
He was named man of the series in the recent two-Test series against New Zealand in Australia with scores of 110, 98 and 10, as well as being the top run-scorer in the three-Test series against South Africa in Australia.[citation needed]
Clarke won the 2009 Allan Border Medal in a tie with Ricky Ponting both scoring 41 points, and was named Test Cricketer of the Year.
In October 2009, Clarke was named as captain of Australia's Twenty20 side, taking over from the retired Ricky Ponting.
In January 2011, Clarke was named as stand-in captain for the fifth Test of the 2010-11 Ashes Series at the SCG, replacing the injured Ricky Ponting. He announced his retirement from Twenty20 International cricket on 7 January 2011, to concentrate on the longer forms of the game.[7] When Ponting stood down from the captaincy of the Australian Test and ODI sides after the 2011 World Cup, Clarke was appointed as his permanent replacement in both roles.[8]
In January 2012, in the second Test of Australia's home series against India and after a string of Test centuries since becoming captain, Clarke became the first Australian batsman since Matthew Hayden in 2003 to score a triple hundred. He joined with Ricky Ponting (134) in a partnership of 288, then added 334 with Michael Hussey (150*) before declaring on 329*. This match against India was the 100th test to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, and Clarke's score was both the highest ever made in an Australia-India test (surpassing V. V. S. Laxman's 281 from the 2000/01 season) and the highest ever achieved at the ground. The ground high score record had been held for more than a century by Englishman Reg "Tip" Foster's 287 scored in the 1903/04 season.[9] Clarke led Australia to a 4–0 win and was named the player of the series,[10] having scored 626 runs at an average of 125.20.[11] He joined his triple century in Sydney with a double-century (210) in the first innings of the fourth Test in Adelaide. His 386-run partnership with Ponting (who scored 221) was the fourth-highest in Australian Test history.[12] Following the Frank Worrell Trophy 2012, Ian Chappell said Clarke "is quickly establishing a well-deserved reputation for brave and aggressive captaincy. His entertaining approach is based on one premise: trying to win the match from the opening delivery. This should be the aim of all international captains, but sadly it isn't."[13]
On 1 May 2012 Clarke made his debut in the Indian Premier League for Pune Warriors India.[14]
Clarke married model and presenter Kyly Boldy on 15 May 2012,[15][16] having formerly been engaged to model Lara Bingle.
During the Australian Cricket tour of New Zealand in March 2010, Clarke left the tour to return to Sydney for "personal reasons". Clarke's management confirmed Clarke and Bingle had decided to terminate their engagement in a late night press conference on 12 March 2010.[17] Speaking to GQ Australia[1] in November 2010, Clarke said of his decision to leave the tour of New Zealand, "My decision that I made there, was what I thought was right. I respect playing for my country that much that I thought, if I'm going to let anybody down, I shouldn't be here — there's somebody else who could be doing a better job than me. Going home was the right decision at the time for me. I don't regret that decision."[18]

I know this little shit nearly died and everything but OH NO HE DIDN'T.
I can't believe he's taken one of the most iconic samples of the 90s and STILL made it sound like absolutely every generic bottom-barrel "in the club" song on the charts in 2012.

I laughed when I read about your husband taking Bella for obedience training. I already had my chihuahua, Bella, when my fiancé & I started dating 6+ years ago so he didn't have a choice. He has had so many instances of the last 6 years of being the guy walking the chihuahua with the pink leash. So brave I tell you! Of course, he loves her to death even if he never would have imagined having a chihuahua before dating me. And 2 years ago we rescued a lab mix puppy so now he has his 50lb rough playing dog....who the chihuahua bosses around of course! :) And don't worry, your business will grow. You take really beautiful pictures! Have a great weekend!

Not being able to come up with better ideas to write on, I couldn't help but take up this one as the issue needs to be addressed by somebody. Let me be clear that writing about Rakhi Sawant is like a last resort and she will not be mentioned here again unless she gets terribly beaten up or even better gets stoned to death. I'll try and be as lenient as I can be here. Or maybe not.
Nobody is a stranger to Rakhi Sawant's buffoonery who just cannot get enough of herself. With a face that can be mistaken for a skeleton, she is the epitomy of stupidity. She has done enough things to prove this and so she is hands down the only one who deserves to hold this distinguished title. Recently it was reported that she wants to marry again with a second season of that fvcking 'swayamvar'. Crap! An important point to note here is India's literacy rate can never be cent percent as Rakhi Sawant would be the blocking factor.
As much as she is a 'ganwar', which is what I call her in our national language, she has made jetloads of money. A channel like NDTV that on one side has 'NDTV Good Times' pays her for getting the viewers on the other. Clearly they do not understand the meaning of 'class'. Even an Aaj Tak reporter made sure an interview was laughable when he asked her questions in a way that made his boss look cool. As usual she was not that smart to get it. The most fugly item-girl in Bollywood, I wonder the intention behind making her dance. Boobs? We aren't so devoid of them that there is a need to watch an artificial pair bouncing for us.
This article also doubles up as one hell of a message promoting a social cause obviously because she is a heinous part of the society. So donning the role of a social worker I'd ask whether Rakhi Sawant wasn't part of the cleanliness drive that had Bombay being revamped prior to Obama's visit? An attempt must have been made until she opened her mouth. Every alert Indian citizen should be ready with a donkey's cock so that it can be shoved right down her throat the next time she does that.
Eradicating this fe/male would not cost the government anything, it'd be a fvcking blessing and at the same time it would help us forget her as a bad dream.

While I thought the online picture was nice, I can honestly say the actual topper exceeded my wildest imagination. It arrived so well packaged that it didn't stand a chance of breaking - despite the fact that it is a fragile piece! I can't believe it arrived to Boston from the West Coast in such impeccable condition. I would recommend Wedding Collectibles to any bride!!! Bestsellers

March 18. 2013 3:46PM
Spring arrives Wednesday, but don't be fooled.
A strong late-winter storm is expected to plaster New Hampshire today with anywhere from 12 to 16 inches of snow across much of the state.
"It's not very spring like. We're just stuck in this pattern," said Stacie Hanes, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Winter storm warnings were issued for the entire state as the latest coastal storm moves in with heavy snow expected — at times dropping 1 to 2 inches an hour.
The snow was expected to lighten up later Tuesday morning before another heavy burst in the afternoon, Hanes said.
Because it's late March, Hanes said the snow will be heavier in southern areas, increasing the chance of scattered power outages with the wet snow clinging to trees and power lines.
While the snow may mix with some rain along the coast, Hanes said it's expected to fall mostly as snow.
Unlike other powerful storms that have whipped the state this winter, this one will have lighter winds, with gusts reaching about 20 mph, Hanes said.
The storm comes just as the snow from several big storms in February — including record snowfall during the February blizzard — was melting away and leaving behind a muddy mess.
"I was looking forward to the last snowstorm being the last snowstorm," said Elaine White, 69, as she took a brisk walk through downtown Exeter Monday afternoon on her way to return a book to the Exeter library.
White is looking forward to spring, but as a New Englander she's used to snow in late March and even April.
It looked more like spring inside Stillwells Riverwalk Ice Cream in Exeter, one of the few ice cream shops around that's open through the winter.
Co-owner Stephen Markot said business hasn't been too bad even with all the snowstorms, but he wouldn't have minded another winter like the one last year, when temperatures soared into the 80s in March. The unseasonably warm weather was good for winter ice cream sales.
"There's a big difference this year because of the weather," he said.
Still, the cold temperatures and threat of more snow didn't stop Brenda Gargas and Karin Tenney-Helfrich from grabbing an ice cream during their lunch break in downtown Exeter.
"This is the prelude to spring," Gargas, of Fremont, said as she prepared to dive into her cup of purple cow frozen yogurt.
With maple sugar season in full swing, Tenney-Helfrich of Exeter decided to go with maple walnut ice cream.
"It's New England," she said. "We eat ice cream any time."

Design Resources
Federal Plazas and Lobbies
According to agency statistics, GSA has a significant presence in more than 2,000 communities across the country. The way in which federal properties interface with the environments around them directly impacts a community's perception of the federal government. Federal lobbies are active, dynamic, amazing spaces. It is estimated that nearly 800,000 people pass through federal lobbies every day. Review of traffic in and out of GSA properties on a regular basis is staggering:
- Each day, security guards in federal lobbies answer more than 100,000 questions.
- In one month period, more than 8,500,000 IRS forms are picked up in federal lobbies nationwide.
- Each year more than 1,620,000,000 letters are mailed from GSA buildings.
Each visitor to a federal building comes for a purpose, and it is GSA's responsibility to ensure that visitors arrive at their destination safely, feel welcome, and are able to transact their business in the most straightforward way possible. To the extent that we are able, GSA endeavors to keep spaces that are lively and well-maintained.
Program Structure
The First Impressions Program is a partnership between GSA's Central Office and the agency's eleven regional offices. The GSA Regional offices, their Service Centers, and Building Managers are responsible for implementing improvements and executing First Impressions projects. Through the Office of Design and Construction Programs, GSA's Central Office provides a range of resources that regional offices can draw on as they work to improve their properties.
The First Impressions Program is staffed by a single Central Office point-of-contact. This individual is responsible for programmatic oversight, coordinating resources, and establishing national standards. The point-of-contact ensures regular, open communication between the regional champions and project and property managers on the GSA side, as well as serving as the COR for the Architects and Landscape Architects on the IDIQ contracts.
GSA Regional Offices (Regions)
Ideally, each region has developed a prioritized list of projects that they hope to fund, along with a rough estimate of what each improvement is slated to cost. Certain projects are funded as part of the annual budgeting process, while others receive funding only after it is clear that there will be "leftover" funds at the end of the fiscal year.
In the case of architectural improvements, systems upgrades, and landscaping, the regions may elect to use the national First Impressions IDIQ contracts. Typically, firms procured as First Impressions IDIQ's are selected with architectural design abilities in mind; they therefore tend to be more appropriate for non-utilitarian problems and high profile projects.
GSA Service Centers and Property Managers
Many of the improvements that happen through the First Impressions program actually take place in GSA Service Centers and with Property Managers. This is where the proverbial rubber meets the road. Service center associates and property managers make decisions on a daily basis that affect the way our buildings look. Often it is their tastes that determine the color of the carpet that is selected, the paint color applied to the walls, or the type of fixture that is purchased to replace the one no longer working. These seemingly small decisions can have a disastrous, cumulative effect.
The First Impressions Program has a close relationship with many other programs and offices in the Public Buildings Service (PBS).
First Impressions works closely with the Center for Design Excellence and the Arts (PMB), the Center for Historic Buildings (Historic Preservation), the Urban Development - Good Neighbor Program, the Interior Design Program, and the Chief Engineer Division.
Both within and outside GSA, the First Impressions program offers a number of resources that can help with any design project, large or small. Principle among these are the two Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts that the program maintains for architecture/engineering and landscape architecture services.
The First Impressions IDIQ architecture and landscape architecture firms provide award-winning design services as well as the skills of their team members, including graphic designers, lighting designers, and security experts. Since each firm was selected through the Design Excellence process, they lend the same design quality to below-prospectus projects as is expected in GSA's larger projects.

Policy & Practice: Advocacy
April 2, 2007
Testimony to the Judiciary Committee of the Missouri House of Representatives regarding HB 509. Submitted by Adam Pertman, Executive Director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute.
--------------------------Thank you for providing me the opportunity to provide testimony on HB509, permitting adult adoptees access to their original birth certificates. The issue you are examining is far more important than most people perceive it to be, both in practical terms for the tens of millions of Americans that it stigmatizes - and I mean both birth parents and adopted people - and symbolically, because we keep secrets about things we are ashamed of or embarrassed about. So, when we seal birth certificates, we send the clear signal that adoption is somehow a lesser way of forming a family, because it has something to hide from the very start. Thank God, we are emerging from the period of our history in which people actually believed that was true, a period in which adoption was a shadowy secret, a period in which we denigrated nearly everyone touched by this wondrous institution, a period in which we even turned the words "you're adopted" into an insult. My children are not an insult, and neither are anyone else's, regardless of how they came into a family or why they left one. But some remnants of those dark days remain, and sealed birth certificates are one of those remnants.
It is also difficult to learn much about secrets. As a result, many myths, misconceptions and stereotypes have come to be widely accepted - even by some professionals in the adoption field. The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, which I am proud to head, has no formal ties with any interest group or segment of the adoption community; it is not a child-placement agency and does not make any money from adoption. Rather, it is an independent, nonpartisan, research and education organization that was created for just one reason: to provide accurate, evidence-based information for practitioners, policymakers, journalists and others so that we, as a society, can shape better laws, policies and practices to improve the lives of everyone touched by adoption, especially children.
I'd like to start by offering an obvious observation, one I hope you will keep in mind as you assess the testimony of those who want to retain the status quo. It is simply this: The critics of restoring adoptees' right to access these records warn that approving this law will set off an array of dire consequences - from ruined lives, to increased abortions, to fewer adoptions, and on and on. Whether the critics are right is no longer the subject of conjecture or speculation. A handful of states have done what you are considering doing, while two states (Kansas and Alaska) have never sealed their records. So now, we can see with our own eyes what calamities might have transpired as a result. And the answer, very simply, is "none." The newspapers in those very diverse states - from Alabama to New Hampshire to Tennessee to Oregon - contain no horror stories about stalker adoptees or weeping women with ruined lives. The statistics in those states show no inkling of rising rates of abortion or falling rates of adoption.
Viscerally appealing arguments can be made by anyone, on any subject. Compelling anecdotes and singular experiences can be produced by any side, in any argument. So, in order to form the best possible laws, policies and practices, it is critically important that we examine real evidence, solid research, and broad-based knowledge. Here, in bullet form, are a few things we do indeed know. I will steer away from disputed findings, and will stick to only those confirmed by hard data, widely accepted studies, or pervasive experience. I can submit references and background materials at your request.
* First, it is a historical fact that adoption-related records - in Missouri and across the United States - were closed to protect adopted children from the stigma and shame of illegitimacy, and biological mothers from the stigma and shame of unwed motherhood. The clear legislative and professional intent was to prevent access to those records by the public, not by the parties to an adoption themselves. Historically, the notion that birth certificates were sealed to ensure the anonymity of birth mothers is simply untrue, irrespective of whether providing anonymity is a good idea or not.
* Second, it needs to be stressed that adopted people are not stalkers or ingrates or children in search of new mommies and daddies. They are simply adults who want the same information the rest of us receive as a birthright. In his book "Roots," Alex Haley wrote: "In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our heritage, to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning; no matter what our attainments in life, there is the most disquieting loneliness." Research, experience and instinct all affirm Haley's eloquent observation. And adopted people are not exempt from the laws of nature. They love their parents - that is, their adoptive parents - just as much and are just as loyal as if they had been born to them. But a growing majority wants to know who they are and where they came from.
Statistically, most do not form relationships with their biological kin or even make contact; for them, just having the most basic information about themselves is enough; it makes them feel they are treated equally, and it makes them feel whole. The fact is that access to their documents has become an issue that is separate from the question of "search" anyway. That is because, as a result of the Internet and other modern-day resources, many if not most adopted people who want to find their birth relatives can do so with or without their original birth certificates. One other detail relating to adoptees: They are wrong when they complain that they are the only Americans whose records are automatically sealed, and cannot be opened without court approval. In fact, the same process applies to people placed in the Federal Witness Protection Program - but adoptees did nothing wrong.
* Third, the notion - suggested by a vocal minority within the adoption world - that a lack of anonymity leads women to have abortions rather than place their children for adoption is pure fiction. It may sound correct intuitively but, in fact, just the opposite appears to be true in practice; the research indicates that women are at least as likely to carry their babies to term and place them into adoptive homes if they believe they will have ongoing knowledge about what happened to those children. The evidence is in the growing number of states where adoption records have most recently been unsealed, and it extends much further and for much longer: In Kansas and Alaska, the only two states in which records have never been closed, there have consistently been fewer abortions and more adoptions than in states that border them or in the country as a whole.
* Fourth, on the critically important question of the desire of birth mothers about information relating to them, the research is unambiguous: Every study I have seen or am aware of regarding whether they want anonymity clearly shows that the vast majority do not - and that applies to those who were verbally assured of anonymity as well as those who were verbally assured they would one day have contact with the children they bore; yes, many women were promised exactly the opposite of anonymity, but those promises are seldom publicly discussed. Every reputable study, including a recent major one by the Adoption Institute, shows they do indeed want some level of information or contact with the lives they created. That doesn't mean they want to give up their privacy, but there's a huge difference between privacy and secrecy. And it doesn't mean they necessarily want the information or contact right away - some only want it years later, when they've had enough time to deal with the personal and emotional consequences of their action or, increasingly often, when they discover they have genetic or medical information they want to share.
Even among those who genuinely thought they wanted anonymity at the time of placement, the majority eventually change their minds. Life is not a snapshot, after all, and few of us would want to live forever with the decisions we made at the age of 17, or even 25. Yet the core argument against unsealing birth records is predicated on the mistaken belief that birth mothers are of one mind - and it will never change. This is not only a fundamental misunderstanding of research and experience, on a human level it assumes a woman can carry a child within her and then part with that child and just "move on," as though she has given away an old record player. That view - essentially relegating women to the role of baby-making machines - pervaded adoption for generations. Thank God, it is changing radically and adoption practices are being reshaped in comprehensive, historic ways as a result. The bottom line is that birth certificates remain sealed in most of our country today because of lingering myths and mistaken stereotypes.
* Finally, keeping birth certificates sealed contradicts the stated desires of almost everyone directly affected, and it flies in the face of majority opinion throughout the United States. That applies to birth mothers, who seldom choose not to be contacted in states where they can state a preference; it applies to adopted people who - once they are adults - favor access to their records by margins of about 4 to 1; it applies to a large and growing number of adoptive parents, a clear majority of whom have already told their children about their origins anyway; and, according to at least one study, it applies to the American public as a whole. The study, which had a 3 percent margin of error, asked this question: "Should adopted children be granted full access to their adoption records when they become adults?" Eighty-four percent responded, "yes."
I respectfully ask the members of this committee to put aside the aberrational anecdotes, emotional appeals, and corrosive myths on which too much public policy relating to adoption has been based for far too long. Instead, please examine the research. I believe that, after you do, you will come to the same conclusion as that 84 percent. Again, thank you very much.

AlanStarcher Good work, Tony. I missed that serial when I was scanning the AAR listing. Did anyone check the other MACRs? I thought that a good possibility might be 44-41809 "Out of the Night II" lost June 13, of the 43rd BG/63rd BS. Baugher has a note that it was a radar countermeasures aircraft, might have been part of a sea sweep.
tonystro According to MACR 14925, on 25 Jun 45, B-24M, 44-42431, of 2nd Bomb Squadron / 22nd Bomb Group crashed approximately 10 miles north northeast of Manuai after passing over Makassar (provincial capital of what is now South Sulawesi, Indonesia). Manuai is about fifteen miles north of Limboeng.
Following a strike on the airdrome at Mandia on Celebes Island, the plane seperated from the formation and crashed near Maros. Six crewmen died in the crash and were buried by natives. Four were captured by the Japs and executed. Lost were Lt. Lawrence R. Berry, pilot; Lt. Howard A. Shellington, co-pilot; Lt. Benjamin R. Wirz, navigator; Lt. William R. Brown, bombardier; Sgt. Warren Allmon, engineer; Sgt. George S. Horan, radio; Cpl. Gerald D. Carson, gunner; Cpl. Eugene L. Farthing, gunner; Cpl. Wayne J. Geltz armorer-gunner; Cpl. Richard S. Peyron, gunner.

Gorgeous Ring but Stone Fell Out
By FrankieB
from Ottawa (Ontario)
Ring is absolutely stunning, but hard to wear once the stone falls out... If it happens before the 3 months is up, great, otherwise, you're out of luck. I believe the Shopping Channel needs to have a better policy when it comes to faulty jewellery... their suppliers should have at least a one year policy like most jewellery stores... Maybe its why they sell throug TSC, to avoid standing by their products and poor quality.

Poor quality control!
By KAREN
from DOLLARD DES ORMEAUX
Knowing this line I bought three (yes 3) of these rings. Lovely stones as usual BUT as others have mentioned the gold plating was already tarnished on all of them - tried to polish - didn't work - returning everything.

Poor Quality
By Patricia the shopper
from Vancouver BC
Beautiful stone..received compliments and wore this ring 3x and YES..the stone fell out! Sound familiar?Check out the comments regarding this item.I intend to contact Hillary Joy personally because TSC does not take responsibility for their products after 30 days.
.....update on earlier review
By JAMIE
from CARLETON PLACE
I loved this ring when it arrived.....but the stone fell out, luckily in my car and I had to take it to a jeweler to have put back in....I also lost a small white topaz on the shank.Just know, that although this ring is indeed beautiful.....there are issues with it. Im lucky the stone fell out in my car, it could have been lost anywhere. This happened just over a month of owning it.....Im still glad I have this ring, but for the money spent.....its just not constructed well to stand the test of time....

By Jewellery Queen
from Ancaster, On
This ring is beautiful....the blue topaz is a stunning colour and the ring in general is fantastic...I have noticed one claw seems to have become a bit sharp so I may have hit it on something when I was getting ready to go North, this is the issue with silver, it is softer then gold so can bend/scratch more easily... will let you know if I have any issues with the setting, but so far so good.....am thinking about ordering the green amethyst as well, although I have one in white gold so this is why I hesitate....but the yellow gold plating is so nice with the green.....way to go tsc/carol brodie I love this classic style!
very deapointed

very disappointed
By super shopper
from burlington, On
Was excited to pick up my mail and open it. The actual stone, Rose de France, was lovely, but the rose plate was terrible! It must have missed quality control. I have bought lots of jewellery in the past and rarely did I need to send it back.

Buyer beware
By SHANNON
from GARIBALDI HIGHLANDS
I bought this ring back in April and would like to give an update on the product. The ring itself is lovely and had no issues with the stones falling out, however, the rose gold plate has completely worn off on the band. I removed the remainder with a jewellery cloth but not on the undergallery of the stone. I am concerned about this line now with regards to the plating. I will not purchase anything from this line unless it is only rodium plated.

The North Face Longhaul 30
The North Face Longhaul 30
This bag does exactly what it was designed to do.
When you have travlled as far as my wife and I only then will you understand how good this bag is. We are not as young as we used to be so we have reduced the capacity of our rucksacks and purchased a second Longhaul bag.
22 January 2013
Great size and wuality
This bags dimensions means its not over sized for airlines and when packed fully it weighed 22.5 kg I've only used it once but very happy with it
21 January 2013
Excellent product.
For long distance travel the sturdy handle is particularly good.
08 October 2012
A family of 4 from London to Seattle and back, in style
If you fill this bag you reach the optimal 23kg limit for flights, so the volume is perfect. The numerous handles are superbly strong and useful to be able to shift the bag from every angle, and the pull out handle has a quality feel about it.
The wheels provide really good guidance and direction, and don't cause the annoying stagger that you can get with so many bags.
A couple more pockets on the inside would have been handy for small, loose stuff that inevitably gets shoved in at the last minute.
Love it!

Benjamin Travolta has made his debut. John Travolta and Kelly Preston are smiling with their baby friend on the covers of Hello! and People magazine.
The couple is showing unity despite constant rumors of John being a fabulous homosexual with a fetish for spas. (Click HERE for Robert Randolf's story on that or Click HERE for Carrie Fisher's explanation of his sexuality…) Whatever John's genital preference, the family is excited to have little Benjamin in their lives.
"These days, the Travolta home in Ocala, Fla., is filled with joy, lullabies from Dad ("A Bushel and a Peck," from the musical Guys and Dolls, is a favorite), readings of Good Night, Gorilla and hugs from big sister Ella. Best moment for both parents so far? Benjamin's first smile."

Ice Cream Rewind
It snowed briefly on Friday. I'm dusting off my winter hats and scarves. I'm also dusting off the to-do list, and guess what I found? Ice cream. Lots of it. My food photo files are clogged up with scoops dating back to June, and the colors show their age:
Summery pink strawberry:
Neon-purple blueberry:
I thought I'd rescue them from oblivion in one final goodbye to ice cream weather. Adieu!
Just kidding. There is no ice cream weather in this house, occupied as it is by a certain spouse who insists that ice cream is its own food group (I don't complain...at least he's given up this notion about bacon). But fall and winter ice creams do tend to differ from their fair weather cousins. In recent months, my ice cream maker has been turning out flavors like maple walnut...
and pistachio-fig...
I trolled these fall flavors from the pages of David Lebovitz's ice cream book. Mr. Lebovitz suggested dried apricots and pistachios, but I thought I'd substitute figs. The results weren't bad, but not good enough to revisit. Lesson: Mr. Lebovitz's recipes are better than my improvisations. That's why his book is called The *Perfect* Scoop. It's also why this is my favorite dessert-focused cook book, and why, unless you own stock in supermarket ice cream, you should probably have it on your own shelf.
There have been a few ice cream blunders, none of which can be blamed on anyone other than me. I had this idea of pairing a salted caramel ice cream with a white peppercorn ice cream. This was one of those food ideas that seem so fetching, so edgy -- why hasn't anyone else thought of this? salt and pepper? come on, they go together! Well, there's a reason why you've never been served salt and pepper ice cream. Turns out, they don't taste so good. The peppercorn ice cream was the spoiler. I wouldn't call it offensive, but I think the person to whom I served it did. I went overboard with the peppercorns, soaked too many of them too long in the cream. The result was a plain-looking white ice cream that started to burn the moment it hit the back of your tongue, and then kept burning, only to fade into an acrid aftertaste. Paired with the salted caramel ice cream (which is not my recipe and is very good), it tasted even weirder. I am still entertaining the idea that a dainty scoop of the stuff served with a bitter chocolate cake might redeem the whole project. But I had Patrick try a spoonful of the stuff and then nibble a piece of dark chocolate. Didn't do it for him. I have a quart of it growing freezer burn, and ice cream never grows freezer burn in this house...except for that Dirty Mint ice cream I made a while back.
For those of you who have pushed it out of your memory, Dirty Mint ice cream happened in May of this year. This is how it went:
"At this very moment, a mint patch is creeping across my back yard. This being the first spring we've lived in this house, I didn't even know we had a mint patch. Then, one day, it was there, and it was big. Dreaming of a sustainable ice cream, I waded into my sea of mint, steeped my harvest in cream, poured it in my ice cream maker, tossed in a few handfuls of chopped dark chocolate, and waited. The result was yucky. To put it more precisely, it tasted like dirty grass (with chocolate chips). My guess is that my variety of mint is not the best for imparting flavor to food and drink (the mint juleps turned out yucky, too). No, mine is an ornamental sort of mint, which is spreading like wildfire in my backyard while my basil and rosemary are barely hanging on."
Well, I have since discovered that my mint patch is catnip. Yep, not only did this backyard hallucinogen do nothing for my pheromonic receptors, it ruined several cocktails. This I can tell you from experience: unless you're a cat on a bender, catnip juleps just aren't worth the trouble.
I'm looking forward to trying out some December ice creams. Eggnog seems a likely candidate. Pomegranate, perhaps. For now, here are two ice cream recipes, one for fall and one for summer. The seasons always manage to come round again.
Maple Walnut Ice Cream with Wet Walnuts
Makes about 1 quart. Adapted from David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop.
This ice cream is nutty and sweet, with a clean maple syrup flavor. It's just the thing with a mug of black tea, a down comforter, and a textbook on psychoanalysis, which is precisely how it was enjoyed this very afternoon.
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
3/4 cup dark maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wet Walnuts (recipe follows)
Warm milk and sugar in medium saucepan. Pour cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top. Turn heat down to medium-low.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium-low heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream to cool. Add the maple syrup, salt, and vanilla, and stir over ice bath until cool.
Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add the Wet Walnuts.
Wet Walnuts
Makes 1 1/2 cups.
1/2 cup, plus 1 tablespoon dark maple syrup
1 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and very coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Heat the maple syrup in a small skillet or saucepan until it just begins to come to a full boil. Stir in the walnuts, and cook until the liquid comes to a full boil once more. Stir the nuts for 10 seconds, then remove them from the heat and let cool completely. The nuts will still be wet and sticky when cooled.
Fresh Blueberry Ice Cream
Makes 1 quart. Adapted from Gourmet, August 1997
I made several batches of this technicolored ice cream this summer. Fresh blueberries, when they're not overwhelmed with sugar, make a very mellow ice cream, which would be nice served with pound cake or shortbread cookies. It's also nice double-scooped into a bright green bowl. You can strain out the blueberry skins, if you like. I left them in for the slight texture and speckled color that came with them. The skins are good for you too.
2 cups blueberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
In a saucepan, bring blueberries, sugar, and salt to boil over moderate heat, mashing berries and stirring with a fork. Simmer mixture, stirring frequently, 5 minutes; cool slightly. In a blender, puree mixture with milk just until smooth and stir in cream. Chill and freeze in ice cream maker.

DonorsTrust is a Virginia-based donor-advised fund with assets of over $18 million in 2010. Associated with Donors Capital Fund, with which it shares an office, some staff, and a board of directors, the fund dispersed more than $22 million in grants in 2010, mostly to conservative groups around the country. Since 2002, DonorsTrust has administered more than $54 million in grants. (During the same period, Donors Capital Fund has administered more than $235 million in grants.) The trust, like all donor-advised funds, provides donors a degree of anonymity unavailable to foundations. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, "not even the IRS knows where a particular donor's money goes after it gets to Donors Trust."
While DonorsTrust's funders are a secret, Conservative Transparency has identified several donors by examining the tax forms of prominent foundations associated with conservative philanthropists. These funders include the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation ($1,000,000 in 2009 and $1,500,000 in 2010, respectively), the now-defunct John M. Olin Foundation (at least $1,056,000 since 2000), The Randolph Foundation (at least $1,052,200 since 2002), and the Searle Freedom Trust ($2.3 million since 2001). Several other prominent conservative foundations, including the William E. Simon, William H. Donner, and The Lynde and Harry Bradley foundations, have also given to DonorsTrust.
Most of grants dispersed by DonorsTrust go to conservative groups "dedicated to the ideals of limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise." Recipients include the Americans for Prosperity Foundation (more than $10 million since 2005), the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (over $2.6 million since 2008), and the Independent Women's Forum (over $3 million since 2002). DonorsTrust has also dispersed large grants to the National Federation of Independent Business, NumbersUSA, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, George Mason University, and the Heartland Institute. (Many of these same groups have received sizeable contributions from Donors Capital Fund.)
DonorsTrust says it also works to "encourage philanthropy and individual giving and responsibility, as opposed to governmental involvement, as an answer to society's needs."
The fund's board of directors includes prominent members of the conservative establishment, including American Enterprise Institute president Arthur C. Brooks and Heritage Foundation fellow John Von Kannon. The presidents of both the William E. Simon and Searle Freedom Trust also sit on the board of directors. Whitney L. Ball, former executive director of the Philanthropy Roundtable, is the fund's chief executive. (Ball also sits on the board of directors of Donors Capital Fund alongside Adam Meyerson, the current president of the Philanthropy Roundtable.)
DonorsTrust is the parent of the Project on Fair Representation, which works against affirmative action, as well as the Student Free Press Association, which places young conservative writers in fellowships with conservative publications, including the Daily Caller, the Weekly Standard, and the Washington Times.

Camping Misses End of World
September 1994 came and went. "Apparently it was incorrect," end-times forecaster Harold Camping told CHRISTIANITY TODAY by September 28, referring to his prediction that the world would end on the previous day. "Obviously this has not happened, so that was inaccurate." Camping said he somehow misunderstood the importance of the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. He claimed, however, that Christ should still come before the end of 1994, and that the longer period of time could turn out to be a "blessing," because it could help reveal who truly converted to Christ due to his predictions.
"He flatly refuses to be corrected," says B. J. Oropeza, research assistant at the Christian Research Institute (CRI). Oropeza this year wrote "99 Reasons Why No One Knows When Christ Is Going to Return" (InterVarsity Press), in which he criticizes Camping.
Oropeza challenged Camping on radio's Dick Staub Show September 21 to repent of his errors in teaching. Camping said he would admit it if he made mistakes in his calculations, but added, "I don't know what you mean by the word repent."
Two years ago Camping predicted that Christ would return in judgment between September 15 and 27, 1994. The 72-year-old Reformed Bible teacher issued his claims on his nightly Open Forum talk-radio show, which airs on the Family Radio network he founded 35 years ago. The private network owns 39 stations and 14 short-wave international transmitters.
Camping also published his claims in a book, "1994?," and its sequel, "Are You Ready?" (CT, June 20, 1994, p. 46). More than 80,000 copies of the two books are in print.
Thousands of devoted radio listeners heeded his warnings to some extent. Camping's end-times views have been considered inconsistent by some because his teachings appear to affirm premillennialism, while Camping considers himself a reformed amillennialist. The views concern the centuries-old debate on the return of Christ and his 1,000-year reign on earth. Camping's teachings spawned organized debates and spin-off books, with some churches losing many people who were sure of Camping's predictions.
On September 28, about 20 people continued to gather at Kevin Brown's home in Philadelphia for Bible study, just as they had been doing for months.
"We still feel the Lord is going to come very soon, although it doesn't look very likely it will be in September," Brown, 35, told CT. "This might be for [God's] glory. He might allow the world and church to revile us for a time. That might be a part of his plan."
In fact, on his radio show Camping has begun highlighting Jeremiah's words in Jeremiah 20: "O Lord, you deceived me, and I was deceived; you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me" (NIV).
"Jeremiah had heard what God said, but he misunderstood exactly how it would work out," Camping says. Perhaps, he surmises, God "allowed" him to write his books "for his own purposes. One of the reasons is he is trying the righteous."
Such talk concerns those who have challenged Camping in recent months.
People are still mimicking the same thing Camping is saying, notes CRI's Oropeza. "They are saying, 'God is testing us right now.' That is scary, because this is just blind allegiance to Camping."
Still, it is too early to say whether the group is becoming cultic, says Robert Sungenis, who, with Assemblies of God pastor Scott Temple and David Lewis, authored Shockwave 2000! The Harold Camping 1994 Debacle.
"I wouldn't label it as a cult in the sense that there are a lot of orthodox beliefs," Sungenis said. But the movement does show "cultic tendencies" in the sense that "they gravitate to an authoritarian figure." Sungenis says an Open Forum caller recently told Camping, "Even if you are wrong about the end of the world, we're still going to follow you."

Archived Boards and Threads... > SMF Feedback and Discussion
Board administration features, please?
First off, I'm very excited to learn of this project. I've been using YABBSE on my site since Version 1.4x. I looked at other forum softwares (including all the usual suspects), but this was the only board that had the power and features I needed while not requiring me to give up my day job and personal life to skin the damned thing. :D
However, I must admit - I was evaluating other forum packages recently due to YABBSE's - shall we say - meager forum controls.
I guess it's easier for me to point to what I do like to help 'splain. I really, really like the controls afforded by, say, Invision Board with respect to forum / board access and member controls. At my site, some discussions need to be held out of general public viewing, and Invision's setup makes it easier for me to create and manage the user groups and related features.
For example, in Invision, I can define a board for password access separate from the main login. Another really neat feature is that boards can be hidden altogether from general view. Almost every
feature of board functionality was controllable from the administrative panel. That included administrative assignments (i.e., levels of mod-dum beyond just admin, global moderator and moderator). And, as a little thing, I liked that the administrative controls opened in their own separate window (so I didn't have to leave my normal board view).
Currently, in YABBSE, most of the above features are not available.
Even so, I am still with YABBSE. For all its great features, I just found Invision (and phpBB for that matter) just too difficult to change aesthetically without giving me a headache.
Truth is, I don't want to migrate to another platform. My users love the boards, as they're easy to navigate and use. My site staff, however, is grumbling about the austere administrative controls (or lack thereof).
I searched here for some more info as to exactly what SM is going to do regarding these issues. Will there be greater administrative / board controls? All these new board features are great, but without commensurate administrative features, it's like having a Hummer with a lawnmower engine - kinda defeats the purpose.
Our users will get the joy of SM (because I am going to switch over as soon as a stable version is available). So, may my staffers and I have some nice new forum controls to go along with it? Please? :: looks for begging smilie ::
Thanks for letting me have my two-cents (of course adjusted upward for inflation), and I look forward to using SM when it's ready.
I'll repsond with more later, but the permissions system is probably going to be your favorite thing about SMF.
(can't type much at the moment, sorry.)
Maybe you know this already, but you can setup "hidden" boards already using user groups in YSE
Yep, I know about the groups feature for controling access. I've actually used it. While it does work for very small restricted forums, it becomes tedious after at time. Also, sometimes you don't want the board "hidden" so much as the access restricted, and therefore requiring a password for access offers another alternative.
I am really looking forward to seeing what Simple Machines will do. I like what I see. I KNEW in the long run YABBSE was the right way to go, and this just proves it. :D

--- End quote ---
As things stand, got to agree with Brat, YSE's current admin features leave a lot to be desired. With due respect to Unknown, SMF is still "vaporware" at the moment - seeing is believing.
Reason for hanging out here is that I need to implement a member's forum like yesterday. I'm tossing between YSE and phpBB. Like Brat I'm looking to implement a user hierarchy of sorts - as in an "executive committee, members and joe public" sort of structure - basically a 'hidden', 'closed' and 'open' groups set up.
This seems to be something phpBB seems to have already - having only done some basic evaluation on both these beasts.
Looks like we may go with YSE as in having the better UI and setting it up as a closed pw protected entity. We'll see ...

While I'm happy to adapt to local ways when abroad, there are some American things I'd rather not give up. To see that you carry my Anchor Steam on tap means you'll be my first early morning stop next time I visit London.
Semper Fido Thu May 16Rated as: 4/5 -
Lovely beer, but they refuse to serve people if they are too loud. So whisper your conversations after 2 beers, because the staff here are definitely precious.
Corina Thu Dec 27 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
Absolutely blinding pub. The bar is the size of a domestic lounge (with pumps) but getting served reasonably quickly is no problem. People tend to queue in lines of 4 or 5 so you are served in an orderly fashion. If its too busy in the bar area (often the case on a Fri) you can migrate to the covered decking area where there are plenty of seats. It reminds me of being at a wedding reception where after getting your drink you move to a nice relaxing area. In fact its like a marquee! I would imagine it must be terrific when the sun shines (if we ever get to that point). Only lager and bitter sold but top notch quality. The pub is run by the UTO brewery and beers can be subject to change each day. Tried the Brooklyns lager (£4.10 p per half, ABV 5.5) which was really nice, slightly fizzy and had me quivering all over with pleasure. One of the beers was green! Actually looked good but maybe another time. Cask Ale £3.60 a pt, Pilsner £4.10 a pt. Some of the beers are high ABV and are matched by higher prices. However its probably worth paying more for beers that should be relished, absorbed and treated with respect. If you fall over later that may add to the enjoyment of the evening but then again maybe not. I was recently sick with fatigue and a rasping cough but going to the Rake was the first positive step in my recovery. Would I go there again? I just did last Fri (20/07/12).Billy Stone Mon Jul 30 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Just the most amazing andsurprising place around. Weird pub, weird beers, weird customers. Totally excellent. I really like the bar staff - they manage hotel-style service
and knowledge of what they're selling and do an early 90s proper pub
friendly service. If you want 5 star London trendy fashion - go elsewhere. If you want 5 star beer go to The RakeChris new Sat Jun 30 2012Rated as: 5/5

DEAR ABBY: My 15-year-old stepson, "Justin," doesn't drink or do drugs. For the most part, he stays out of trouble. The problem is, he has been caught for the third time having unprotected sex.
My anger isn't at Justin so much as at his parents, obviously his father. Justin has lied repeatedly about this. His father lets him get away with many things, for the most part minor. But this is different. A 15-year-old boy can't take care of a baby, and having sex with multiple partners means exposing everyone involved to STDs.
My husband is a smart man, but for some reason he seems to think this will end well. I worry about his son becoming a father too soon and missing out on his full potential. My husband and his ex have dealt with this by trying to ignore it, and for the most part I haven't involved myself. But the more I think about it, the more I see the danger of Justin's life being changed forever because his parents don't want to make him unhappy for a minute.
