Not least that this kind of be-very-afraid tactic runs a serious risk of nasty unintended consequences. How many kids necked their entire supply before going in? Or decided to risk buying drugs on-site?
It took only two weeks before Mr Brown premonition resulted in a death. A very tragic set of circumstances.

for Haddin cheating
The game was played 28 years to the day since the underarm incident.
"Giovanni thinks Haddin is a scumbag"
I thought Haddin probably had one of his best games as a keeper, until the Broom moment. It is remarkable how the Australian cricketers try and operate in the grey area. Ponting attitude against the Indians when it came to suspect catches was that his fielders were always right.

They did trial this for the West Indies tests in NZ last month.
Thanks JP and Kyle for the info. I for one will be pleased if this becomes the norm.

Ponting to put his feet up.

The one thing that annoys me about Nadal , he is always picking his undies out of his bottom when he serves.
I really like how players get to challenge a decision in tennis games (three challenges per set), couldn't this work for cricket matches as the Broom decision was shocking. -
Dead cat bounce?
Mining stocks look attractive here in Australia. I cannot see a sustained recovery unless there is a corresponding upturn in demand; they still have to negotiate new iron ore prices with China, which could see them go lower.
Loving the cricket...

Never heard about buying low?
That's Gold.

I was enquiring at a time when interest rates were going up &, oddly, he was only going to charge me $300-odd to break $400K+ with 4.5 years left to run. Maybe they figured they could re-lend the money to someone else & get the higher interest rate from them, but it seems a very specific view of that particular $400K.
Same thing happened to me when we sold our house in Grey Lynn. The last three years we've been generating a reasonable junk of interest from the bank that we've used to pay for rental accommodation and some expenses. It looks like we might have to have a look at an alternative way to make a return, however the last year really gives me no confidence about investing in the market. The only thing that looks like growing is the unemployment graph.

It appears timing is as important as location as an imperative component to succeeding in the cut-and-thrust world of owning property.
