Stuck on last one: 9d: get tame thus...male tiger when it's trained: relai*. In the down clues a "c" must be removed from the answer to the definition part of the clue, and that answer must fit the subsidiary indication. I think this must be "re(c)laim, but I can't work out why. Can anybody point me in the right direction, please?

get - reclaim

relaim is an anag of male[t]i[ge]r?

I'm not convinced this actually works as a clue, especially with the missing c requirement of the subsidiary indication.

Anyone able to help me with these?

11d
19a - got the answer but don't understand why
30a

11d S[C]HORL-ROCK - LORR* inside SHOCK

19a OAR + IE inside RR (bishop) - should read 'Mac's...'

30a AVOURE - OUR (of us) inside AVE

This is an opportunity to say thanks to many contributors for help during 2013 when I usually lurk. Any comments on the following would be appreciated:- I am bugged by 34a, I have taken the missing "C" to be before hanging to make an anagram pointer. At the moment I have ?N????I???ET? and Chambers Word Wizard gives no word. My question is - are any of the letters incorrect? Thanks
