A word from The Pirates' House
The entire family is sure to enjoy Savannah's most intriguing & historic restaurant. At the Pirates' House, our most precious treasure is the food. Situated in Trustees Garden, merely a scant block from the Savannah River, the Famous Pirates' House is the most historic spot in Georgia. The Herb House, erected in 1734, located inside the Pirates' House, is said to be the oldest house in Georgia. The Pirates' House first opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers and fast became a meeting point for blood-thirsty pirates & sailors. Enthusiastically recommended by AAA, Food & Wine and Redbook.Continued

- Pirate HouseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014We had a fine lunch! The restuarant is a Savannah landmark and fun family outing with young (6 and 8) children into pirates and period costumes. The she-crab soup was outstanding as was the crab melt sandwich. Others at the table felt that the shrimp dishes were very good. Our server was very attentive to our table and made good suggestions regarding the menu. He was also quite knowledgeable about the history of the building and of Savannah in general. It is worth a stop if you are in the area. Older Savannh family members at times had thought the place too "touristy" but I recall them having a fine time there too!Special Features:
- Fun for the familyAlly1055Dined on 10/24/2014With a group of 8, made up of kids and picky adults, this was a great place for all. It's not a gourmet/foodie place, but everyone enjoyed their food very much. We had excellent service, the history of the building was very fun to learn about and the food was tasty. The kids each picked a frozen mocktail concoction and I'll warn you - they're HUGE. The kids, of course, were in heaven. The adults all rolled their eyes and battened down the hatches for afternoon sugar comas. I had a blackened shrimp salad that was really delicious and a mojito that could have used an extra splash of rum...but a mojito can always use an extra splash of rum. :)Special Features:
- ChickenOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/23/2014Your pecan chicken was delish but that was warm but food a little to cold veggies and potatoe not to hot but still enjoyed it all ., waiter and pirate was great ! Would go back if in Savannah that was our first time thereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was alright.BamBamDined on 10/21/2014I was hoping for a more memorable dining experience, but I'm afraid the only part that stood out was the pirate tour guide. We did not receive a table in a lively room, as requested. Our server was just that. There was no connection, no interest in created an experience. We were greeted about 10 minutes after seating, and drinks were brought after we recieved bread, salad, and entrees were on there way. $100 meal for two people, there was an expectation that just was not met.
- History siteFood4ThoughtDined on 10/20/2014If you like Southern cooking and listening to the history that was made where you are eating, The Pirates' house is a special place for you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointedweheartsavannahDined on 10/19/2014My wife and I love The Pirates House. We've eaten there twice and have not had a single issue. The service had been excellent. The food, delicious. Love the history and the Pirate on duty entertaining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very ordinary, nothing specialEsquireDined on 10/19/2014Service was minimal at best. Server did not know his menu. Had to remind him three times to get items. Food was average. Seemed more of a tourist historical destination than emphasis on food and service.
- Nostalgic favorite revisitedmrboysmommaDined on 10/18/2014On my recent trip to Savannah, I had the opportunity to revisit a haunt of my family's from a million years ago. The Pirate's House is every bit as amazingly and awesomely kitschy as I remember it being, and now that I'm old enough to enjoy the cocktails, I can say that they do not disappoint. The food is very good Southern fare. Maybe not foodie-worthy, but definitely delicious and generously portioned. And our waiter was awesome. Super sweet, thoughtful and attentive, he was there when we needed him and not on top of us when we didn't.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant tourist trapmccislcmDined on 10/18/2014This is really a character restaurant these days with fun-minded people as the target audience. Not a fine dining experience although the food was fine. Take care where you sit, some of the many rooms are boisterous and some are quieter. Crab soup very good. Fried seafood platter a bit heavy, but pecan trout was excellent. Waiter very amiable and spoke some "pirate".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun StopsavvyfoodieDined on 10/18/2014We live in Savannah but had never been to the historic Pirate House, so we decided to bring some guests and try it out. We loved it! The rum cocktails are delicious, the ambiance and history make it an extra fun place to eat, and the food was scrumptious! Space is a little bit tight, so just keep that in mind if you plan on going with a big group!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014James the waiter was perfect! Food was not very good. Filet Mignon was ordered med and was cooked medium on the outside and rare in the middle and was not tender. For $27 bucks, disappointing!
- Good food, tacky decorationsMollieDined on 10/15/2014The food was very good but expensive. The decorations were tacky and it looked like more of a kid's attraction than a historic building.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectDiddle1Dined on 10/15/2014First visit to Pirate House. I was looking forward to the history and the ghost stories and I had a blast. Staff was just as nice as could be. Food was incredibly tasty and the serving sizes were enormous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Famous landmark, excellent foodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/13/2014Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals. She had parmesan crusted trout and I had a crabmeat casserole. Both entrees were excellent.Special Features:
- Loved the pulled pork spring rollsBulldawg94Dined on 10/11/2014We enjoyed our meal. We ordered a wedge and it doesn't just have bacon bits, is actual pieces of bacon. I shared a steak with my daughter that was cooked perfectly. We would definitely eat here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A must seeFoodloverDined on 10/10/2014When visiting Savannah yiu must pay a visit to the Pirates House. Great atmosphere. Be sure and have the Pirate give you a tour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Historical Dining ExperienceMelindaDined on 10/9/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Pirate House. The food was delicious. My husband said the Pecan Chicken was the best fried chicken he had ever had! The kids enjoyed browsing in the gift shop and we really liked the historical pirate led tour after our meal. I highly recommend this if you are in savannah or staying on Tybee.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and a great atmosphere!yumsauceDined on 10/4/2014I took my boyfriend to Pirate's house for his birthday and the food was amazing! His steak was cooked perfectly and the biscuits (with honey butter and orange marmalade) that they bring out with your drinks are addictive. It is a great historical restaurant and is nice enough for a nice date, but casual enough to take your kids out to eat to. It is a little on the loud side, but that fits with the 'pirate-y' atmosphere. The food is kind of expensive for every day eating, but for special occasions it is a good price range. If you make a reservation your wait will only be 10 mins or so even on a really busy night.Special Features:
- JamesDined on 10/4/2014We liked the pirate theme and over all it was a great experience. We will be coming back to Savannah and will without a doubt be eating at this restaurant again. I am a former manager for the AAA National Office and have eaten at many restaurants across the county. I would rate this one at the top of the list of great places to eat.Special Features:
- Unique location but overpriced foodcorduroyDined on 10/3/2014We went here based on review scores we read, but our experience wasn't anywhere near 4+ stars. Both our dinners were in the $23 range (chicken jambalaya and their shrimp/sausage penne special). Neither of us finished our meals, we didn't ask for take home boxes, and we didn't bother ordering dessert (which is dating a lot because we're dessert fiends). Our waiter had practically no personality. When we asked him about the pirate house and the tour we saw going on, we received one word answers. We did end up taking the pirate house tour and that helped redeem some off the value of this restaurant. However, it still doesn't justify the cost of the meals which were more like what i would expect in the 12 dollar range.
- Not disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/3/2014We had heard great things about The Pirate's House and we were not disappointed. Our waitress, Pam, was great, very attentive and efficient. The food was delicious, especially the peach ice cream pie! We highly recommend The Pirate's House restaurant.Special Features:
- Great TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/2/2014Went for dinner while in town visiting friends and was very pleased. The food wasn't anything special but it was good. The pirate punch was awesome! And the place itself is so cool with so much history! I would definately recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not2impressedDined on 10/1/2014We knew not to expect too much on the food but the entire evening was barely okay. The waitress and staff were not very well trained and we only went because it was our first time to Savannah and this was supposed to be fun. We won't go back and would not advise our friends to go their either. It felt like a typical tourist trap.Special Features:
- Excellent ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014We were visiting Savannah for the first time and made a reservation at the Pirates House. It was wonderful. The food was excellent and the ambiance was exciting. We arrived a half hour early and were taken to our table within 20 minutes, We visited the store and made purchases before dining. The pirate walking through and talking to us was a treat. She was very funny. Thanks for a great evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

There's a pirate running around telling stories about the building and the history of the area. Location and parking are very convenient. I'm glad we ate here on our stay in Savannah.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Dining with a ThememygaljeanDined on 9/19/2014We live near Savannah, and always take our visiting guests to our favorite restaurants in Savannah. The Pirate House is a must for the history, ambiance & theme dining, and good food. The staff (dressed in Pirate garb) were very friendly and came to the table to talk with us. On other occasions we have toured the rooms and I even took a photograph of a pirate ghost sitting on the counter in the kitchen. We hadn't seen him with our eyes, but the photo showed him clearly. This is an excellent choice for a dining experience and our guests are always pleased. There is ample parking at the restaurant so you don't have to search for a parking spot and walk blocks. I recommend the Pirate House highly.Special Features:
- Food a disappointmentGrammyDined on 9/16/2014Seafood augratin was awful, fishy, and nothing close to recipe on original cookbook. bscuits were great but menu is too pricey not to be any better quality than it was. I am a local but felt like it was a tourist trap. our grandson loves the gift shop but will think twice before we dine there again.Special Features:
- Exceeded expectationsmkakDined on 9/14/2014Front desk manager and house pirate went out of their way to have personal conversations with the adults. They also made our three girls feel like pirate celebrities.

MPs question reports of citizenship bribery
Jul 27, 2005
By Ksenia Repson
TALLINN - The first symptoms of autumn's election fever surfaced this week when the Russian weekly business paper Delovyie Vedomosti wrote that Population Minister Paul-Eerik Rummo had proposed granting citizenship to two Russian-speaking businessmen.
The case is not entirely abnormal, as Estonian law grants 10 worthy persons citizenship every year. However, in this situation Sergey Sergeyenkov and Alexander Frolov, the two residents up for a blue passport, had announced plans to join the Reform Party, with which Rummo is affiliated, the paper wrote.
Both Sergeyenkov, manager of Maardu Coal Terminal, and Frolov, a businessman, refused to comments on the subject.
Others were no less taciturn. Maardu Mayor Georgy Bystrov and Johvi Mayor Aavo Keerme were more specific, with Bystrov claiming that Sergeyenkov craved the deputy mandate, and Reformist Keerme speculating that Frolov might join the Reform Party before the 2005 municipal elections.
The Regnum news agency, managing to track down Rummo during his holiday, reported that the minister had firmly denied all media speculation, saying that there was no connection between his citizenship nominations and the businessmen's will to join the Reform Party.
Party affiliation is a matter of one's own free will, he stressed.
The Delovyie Vedomosti, on the other hand, went so far as to write that the minister had recommended giving Sergeyenkov citizenship for his "special services," including his "essential contribution to the national transit development and organization of housing associations in Maardu."
Rummo distinguished the second candidate for his successful furniture-production business, the paper said.
Reform Party members, for the part, backed up their colleague's actions. Spokesman Peep Lillemagi and MP Sergei Ivanov were quoted as saying that citizenship and party membership were two different matters.
MP Tatjana Muravjova, who is one of the Reform Party's Russian-speaking leaders, was indignant over the media accusations. "Newspapers may write whatever they want," she told The Baltic Times. "But these charges are nonsense. No one is bartering with citizenship and never will. Besides, following state legislation, you need to be a citizen before joining a party."
"There are 5,000 members in the Reform Party at the moment and non-Estonians make up nearly 15 percent of them," Lillemagi said. "The population minister's terms of reference provide granting citizenship for services."
He added that usually such matters lie under the competence of the Economy, Population and Culture ministries. "Naturally, worthy persons who bind their lives with Estonia deserve citizenship," Lillemagi stressed.
He also said that media reports were "carried out" by people who wanted to fuel ethnic tension in Estonia. These same people, he added, lean on such accusations when participating in the elections. Some of the ill wishers could be affiliated with the Interrind movement of 1990, the spokesman said.
According to available information, there are currently 13 people waiting to receive Estonian citizenship based on merit. This includes five entrepreneurs, four leaders in ethnic minority culture associations, two athletes, an artist and a clergyman.
The government is considering the applications of three other businessmen: transit company BLTR Group executives Anatoly Gruba, Alexander Zaborsky and Fyodor Kvishch. According to Gruba, none of them are interested in politics.
In previous years, Estonia has awarded citizenships for many deserving non-citizens, regardless of their wealth: Russian Drama Theater actors Vladimir Antipp, Jevgeny Gaitshuk and Vadim Stepanov, Lasnamae gymnasium teacher Nelli Filippova, the head of Tatar elementary school Favzia Haidullina, and Apostolic Christian Church metropolitan Stefanus.
While there are also examples to the contrary, such as Lukeoil President Vagit Alekperov, one of the richest men in Russia, and Italian real estate baron Ernesto Preatoni, the former's passport was evoked while the latter only lived in Estonia for a short time.

WJAR 10 recently aired a story that all Netflix subscribers should be made aware of. The Better Business Bureau has issued a warning of a phishing scam targeting Netflix subscribers. The scam attempts to steal personal information from consumers. Targeted users will be led to a phony webpage that may resemble the real Netflix login page. The Netflix user will enter their account information and the fake website will claim that the user's account has been suspended. A fake customer service number is provided and a "representative" recommends the user download the "Netflix support software," which is remote login software that gives the fake representative full access to the user's computer. There are 3 indicators consumers should look for that show the email involved in this scam is not actually from Netflix:
First: The phone number IS NOT Netflix. Instead, the number belongs to a call center in India.
Second: The webpage is a pop up.
Third: The "representative" wants to log into your computer via remote software.
The Better Business Bureau issued the following tips:
- Never let someone log into your computer remotely. When someone logs in, they can do anything on your computer, including accessing personal and financial information.
- Do not click links in emails. It is better to type the address in the search bar manually.
- If the URL seems odd, do not continue to go to the site. If it is a scam, it will most likely have an unusual URL. It will likely contain a common name but be accompanied by jumbled letters or numbers.
- Always look up the business' phone number on their website. If you need to call a business, look it up on their OFFICIAL website. This will ensure that you are calling a legitimate number.

Federal Judge Strikes Down California Same-Sex Marriage Ban in Major Victory for Gay Rights AdvocatesA federal judge struck down Proposition 8, the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages, on Wednesday. In his ruling, US District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker wrote, "Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. The evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are...Aug 05, 2010 | Story
A federal judge has ruled the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy toward gay and lesbian members of the military is unconstitutional.

Objects spotted in ocean may be from missing Malaysian planeUpdated: 2014-03-20 20:53:32 KST
It's a new lead in the hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370--
Australian authorities say that two objects were spotted in the southern Indian Ocean Thursday that could be related to the missing airliner.
"Following specialist analysis of this satellite imagery, two possible objects related to the search have been identified."
According to satellite images, the objects were found about 23-hundred kilometers away from Australia's city of Perth in the Indian Ocean.
"We must keep this in mind, the task of locating these objects will be extremely difficult, and it may turn out that they are not related to the search for Flight MH370."
To determine what the objects are, four military planes have been dispatched to the area along with six Malaysian Navy ships, and three helicopters.
The objects are reportedly large in size--- with the largest being about 24-meters long.
"Every lead is a hope. And we have been very consistent. We want to verify, we want to corroborate, we are in the process of verifying and corroborating the information."
The Boeing 777 went missing in the early hours of March 8th, and the families of the Chinese passengers on that plane have been waiting now for nearly two weeks for answers.
Their impatience and anger are growing.
"I'm telling you: from 1 o'clock to 8 o'clock, you all knew where that plane was. Now, you also know where it is. You're cheating us, cheating us family members."
The Malaysian flight, with 239 people on board, was headed to Beijing from Malaysia when it disappeared.

A gif with your kids? (:
Done done done done :D
I sort of adapted this one to being a gif of your kid. Sorry if that wasn't exactly what you wanted cupcake :)
She took after her daddy with the need to make sure her hair was perfect.
They took after they're father with the strange dance moves and were not afraid to show them off b/c they too were carefree mofos.
Your daughter was full of sass, while your son liked to keep it classy.
Liam's children were just as cute and adorable as he was.
Yours and Harry's son seemed to have picked up his habit of getting naked….
Your and his your reaction to a fan insulting you (make it sassy please haha)?
Done cupcake :)
Hope you enjoy cupcakes! :D
A funny GIF of you two?! xx
Eeeeesh done cupcake! Thanks for requesting :)
he saves you from being raped?
Sorry, cupcake, I really don't like prefs with violence/bad things. I don't read them and I really don't like writing them. Maybe when I get all of my other ones done I'll try it, but I don't feel comfortable writing about this. I apologize.
You two were messing around in the park and tried a buttfive. Little did you know that fans were recording you two, and this gif was all over tumblr in a matter of hours.
Louis wanted you to teach him how to fangirl while you two were on a twitcam, so you showed him and you both started fangirling. The fans went crazy and this gif was made almost immediately.
You and Niall decided to film yourselves trying to dougie and tweet it. The fans got a kick out of this because neither of you could dance too well, but you did better than Niall. This gif was circling Tumblr for a while.
You told Liam that he was too innocent, so on his next Twitcam, he told you he wanted to so a sassy goodbye with you. This was the result and the fans went crazy over the gif.
Since Zayn was always making random dance videos, you convinced him to make like JT and Joe Jonas and do a single ladies dance video with you. You tweeted it and the gif was all over Tumblr in a matter of minutes. The fans were dying b/c of how ridiculous you both looked.
I've been listening to "Cupid Shuffle" on replay for the past hour and I have convinced myself that I need to learn the dance to it……why do I do these things cupcakes? I need a life…..
how many total gifs do you have???
477 gifs total…..

- Hardback - Canongate
From Adam Mansbach comes a book about a great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal.
- The Complete Peanuts 1979-1980
- Hardback - Canongate
This volume of 'The Complete Peanuts' features the long, surprisingly dramatic sequence in which a grievously ill Charlie Brown checks himself into a hospital while his friends worry. But the rest of the stories in this, the final volume from the 1970s, are far less sombre, as Snoopy launches his 'bird scout' treks, Peppermint Patty gets leaked on at school and sues - plus one of the great forgotten romances in Peanuts history!
- The Complete Peanuts 1981-1982
- Hardback - Canongate
'The Complete Peanuts' marches into the 1980s as Snoopy's brother Spike is drafted into the Infantry and a second brother, 'Marbles', takes his bow. Also in this volume, Peppermint Patty witnesses the 'butterfly miracle', Sally gets fat, Charlie Brown's team loses its baseball field, Linus is still not Sally's 'Sweet Babboo', more Beagle Scout adventures with Snoopy, and Molly Volley and 'Crybaby' Boobie return for a rematch.
- The Complete Peanuts 1983-1984
- Hardback - Canongate
This volume of 'The Complete Peanuts' is particularly romance-heavy as the Charlie Brown/Peppermint Patty/Marcie triangle heats up; love blossoms between two of the 'Beagle Scout' birds; and Linus is still not Sally's 'Sweet Babboo'! Meanwhile, Charlie Brown becomes, in his worst baseball-related humiliation to date, a Pelican - and Snoopy's brother Spike is still stuck in Needles, surrounded by coyotes, with a cactus as his only friend.
- The Complete Peanuts 1985-1986
- Hardback - Canongate
'The Complete Peanuts' reaches the go-go mid-1980s with this volume: 'mallies', 'punkers' (Snoopy with a mohawk!), killer bees, and Halley's Comet. The gang go to 'rain camp' and 'survival camp', the World War I Flying Ace comes down with the flu, Charlie Brown poses for a swimsuit calendar, Peppermint Patty gets a crabby tutor plus Molly Volley, the unbearable, licensable 'Tapioca Pudding', and plenty of Spike and his cactus!
- The Pied Piper Of Hamelin
- Hardback - Canongate
Welcome to Russell Brand's Hamelin. A pompous and ugly town, where the grown-ups are all stuck up their own backsides and their greedy, bum-scratching offspring are usually squirrelling up their own noses. When a band of anarchic rats descends on this bombastic bunch, wreaking havoc all over Hamelin, there's only one man for the job: the wise and wily Pied Piper.

Mike Koplove
Fri Jun 5, 2009 7:50 pm Pittsburgh Pirates signed RHP Mike Koplove to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.
Fantasy Source Spin: Koplove recently opted out of his deal with the Phillies, after posting a 1.14 ERA for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He picked a good team to sign with. Reliever John Grabow is on the trading block, so a spot should theoretically open up eventually.
Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Tue Jun 2, 2009 9:14 am Right-handed reliever Mike Koplove has opted for free agency.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Phillies signed Koplove to a minor league contract this winter, but he was given an opt-out clause if he wasn't on the major league roster by June 1. The 32-year-old was 1-3 with a 1.14 ERA for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and should draw some interest from other big league clubs.
Source: Philadelphia Inquirer
Sat Nov 29, 2008 9:35 am Phillies signed RHP Mike Koplove to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Fantasy Source Spin: Koplove, 32, held a 3.46 ERA in 54 2/3 relief innings for the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2007.

I'm interested in creating an interface in a program I have coded where a list of items is provided somehow (be it a listview, datagridview, or a panel full of buttons etc...) and allow a user at runtime to click those items and drag them onto another panel, positioning them as they please, with the resulting panel being saved.
Now, the only way I can think of doing this involves using the cursor position overriding paint methods.
Is there a simpler way? I'd love to be able to also have the buttons be resizable on the panel.
Any ideas or pointers would be much appreciated. :)

Welcome to HoopsHabit.com's Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs live blog. I'm live in the arena and will be providing updates throughout the game. Per NBA regulations, I can only update the score so often, but keep checking back and refreshing your screen for more analysis, observations and opinions on tonight's game from US Airways Center here in Phoenix, AZ.
NOTE: You must manually refresh your browser for updates. Sorry!
5:45 (local time) – Suffice to say, I just witnessed a legitimate NBA baptism. After a local reporter asked a question about coach Greg Popovich's message to his team coming into tonight's game, Pop deadpanned "It's our next game." That was followed by about a minute of total silence from the dozen or so media members standing around.
6:15 – One of the things I love to do before games is watch which players ignore the fans and which ones pose for pictures and/or sign autographs. On the Spurs side, Manu Ginobili stopped and signed what looked like every single item. For the Suns, Goran Dragic posed for a few pictures and talked with some fans. I love that stuff. Wish more athletes did that. Imagine how much they made some little kids day just by saying hello.
6:24 – Couple of news and notes for today's game. Tony Parker (shin) will miss for the Spurs, with Cory Joseph starting in his spot. For the Suns, Emeka Okafor and Alex Len are out.
6:32 – I'm awfully bummed that we're not going to have Parker in the lineup. Really feel like this could have been a measuring stick game for the Suns. It would still be a nice win, but with Parker out there, we could have really seen what the Suns are made of.
6:45 – The Spurs come out to a smattering of boos. The Phoenix crowds have been notoriously late arriving so far this year and can you blame them? It was 78 degrees outside today. Suns now on the court as well. Just watched Eddie Johnson take a picture on his phone of a guy wearing his jersey. Not sure if that's cool or really weird.
6:54 – Did you know that Tim Duncan has played just 37 less minutes (42,027) than the entire active roster for the Suns tonight? Getting set for the National Anthem and the tip shortly.
7:09 – Tip won by Spurs the and we're underway. Off the subject, but the Suns cheerleaders are in some of the hottest outfits I've ever seen. I'm smitten, I admit it.
7:14 – PHX 11, SAS 6, 8:52, 1Q. You don't see Tim Duncan try to show off very often, but he just did against Miles Plumlee and he turned it over. The Suns interior defense has been pretty poor so far anyways.
7:19 – I love to see how much the Suns push the ball. They know they can't out-execute the Spurs in the halfcourt so they're doing everything they can to take advantage of their athleticism. Credit coach Hornacek for pounding that into their heads.
7:25 – How can the home crowd boo Boris Diaw? That's not right. Channing Frye up to 15 points and still getting open shots. Loving the ball movement by the Suns as well. It's like other teams aren't scouting the Suns. Strange.
7:33 – Spurs getting penetration from Manu Ginobili and the entire Suns team seems to be collapsing, leaving wide open 3-point shooters. Patty Mills the most recent benefactor. After a quarter, it's 34-29 Suns.
7:40 – PHX 36, SAS 31. It's hard to ignore how good Goran Dragic is. I have no clue why he doesn't get more respect and more national attention. I'm going to go out of my way to start that bandwagon. Get on, kids.
7:45 – The Gorilla just dropped a cake from the upper level onto a guy wearing a Spurs shirt. He may have been a plant but I'm happy to see it happen. Crowd eating it up as well.
7:48 – Much better when Archie Goodwin is taking it to the basket. He still looks like a deer in the headlights out there, but his athletic ability is off the charts. Wait until he learns how to control that fury.
7:53 – One thing scares the crap out of me with this game right now. The Spurs are playing a pretty bad game and it feels like the Suns are playing well…yet the game is tied at 43. Not good.
8:00 – Suns really having trouble getting out to the 3-point line all of a sudden. Bledsoe with an and-1 opportunity but it's still 54-51 Spurs. Dragic coming back in for Marcus Morris who did….not get his name called much by the PA guy.
8:06 – Spurs lead 59-58 and it's halftime. Miles Plumlee really gives this team a boost in the middle with his finishing in traffic. He's in a perfect spot and looks like he's having a good time. Archie Goodwin showing some positive strides on offense and did a nice job picking up a couple of steals that half. Dragic is the most underrated player on the court and Channing Frye scored 15 in the first half of a fun game.
8:25 – Back from the half and the Suns need to be awfully careful. Spurs are pounding the ball down low and it's working. Spurs have opened up a five point lead…until another Frye three brings it back to two.
8:34 – Suns have to be really careful not to fall into this trap of playing a halfcourt game against the Spurs. The Spurs just execute so well that the Suns are way outmatched. That, and the refs are starting to call it a bit close. 3-point Spurs lead.
8:40 – I really wonder if Greg Popovich sits at home and laughs maniacally as he says, "We execute! Hahaha! We executed them! Hahahah! We will execute them AAAALLLL!" And the Spurs have taken a five-point lead. Getting beat up in the paint.
8:48 – Suns go on a little run, including a nice 3-pointer by Marcus Morris, but all of the loose balls are still going the Spurs way. We've ended the third quarter with the Spurs leading 87-81. Pop got a technical near the end of the quarter so we'll see how the team reacts.
9:02 – The crowd is into it and the Suns need the energy. They're slowing the ball down, though, which is generally not a good thing. Ball movement is back and Markieff Morris is starting to ball again. He's so hot and cold it's crazy. Also, the PA announcer is now calling P.J. Tucker "Tuck".
9:09 – We're all tied up with 6:10 to go in the game. Markieff has made a couple of great hustle plays, both on the offensive glass and on defense. Can the Suns out-execute the Spurs late? They couldn't do it in San Antonio, but this is a different story.
9:17 – I'm not surprised that Manu Ginobili makes so many big 3-pointers, but I am surprised that he gets so many opportunities. Spurs currently lead by three with 2:26 left in the game as Bledsoe gets called for a questionable foul. Makes me wonder if this would have been too much different with Tony Parker out there.
9:27 – That's a final, Spurs 108, Suns 101. As I said the entire time…down the stretch ended up being a halfcourt game and the Spurs simply out-executed the Suns. Too many turnovers and too much confusion.

'67 Mustang Terry Steinhaus Detroit Lakes, MN
Terry Steinhaus' son is building a tribute Mustang Cobra II to look like the one Terry bought brand new in 1978, so he needed to find a project for himself. Luckily, his two boys solved the problem by dragging this '67 Mustang out of a field as a Christmas present. It had been sitting neglected for 18 years, but just a little tinkering brought the engine to life. The theme for the Mustang will be '70s street machine with glasspacks, air shocks, and wide tires, so a tired 289 would never do. Terry pulled the engine for a full rebuild and is now in the process of replacing and patching all the rusty bits.
'70 Camaro RS/SS Ryan Newman • Sevierville, TN
As a lifelong Camaro fan, Ryan Newman was thrilled when he finally got his dream car in the summer of 2008, a '70 RS/SS. It was fairly rough, but all the important matching-numbers stuff was still there, which made Ryan's life easier since he wanted to restore it back to factory standards. During the resto he even wrote a letter to the original owner. She emailed him back a week later and sent photos of the Camaro when it was new. It had been purchased by her right after college from a dealership in Ryan's town.
'57 Ford Custom • James Potter • Saucier, MS
Nothing seemed to be able to take the place of the '57 Ford James Potter foolishly sold in 2005, so he sold everything and sought out a new project. This $900 Custom came from a field in Texas where it had been parked since 1968 after a brief racing career. That's ideal since James' previous '57 ran 11.31 in the quarter-mile and this one needs to be at least as fast using the same kind of old-school parts. Of course being a product of the '80s, old school for James means a tunnel-ram intake, Toploader four-speed, Cragar aluminum wheels, and so on. So far the framerails and spring hangers have been moved inward to clear up to 14 inches of rubber, and the bodywork has begun.

October 30, 2014
PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed outfielder
Conor Jackson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.
Jackson was hurt while lunging for Will Venable's fly ball in the seventh inning of Sunday's 5-3 loss at San Diego. Jackson says he plans to work on rehabilitation for 10 days, then go to extended spring training in Tucson before joining the team in Houston when his 15 days are up.
Jackson, who had been batting leadoff and was hitting .267, missed virtually all of last season with a fatigue-causing illness known as "valley fever."
Arizona recalled right-handed reliever Esmerling Vasquez from Triple-A Reno to take Jackson's roster spot and try to bolster a bullpen that had blown six saves in the past five games entering Monday night's play. Two of the blown saves came in the same game.

The One About Starting Uni and Stuff!
yes I know it has been a while since i have last blogged and I am sorry for that!
I have done a lot and am wanting to talk about it to all of you!!!!
Well, where to start??
I have changed degrees and courses,
I am happily studying new units to do with the course,
Paris is still my amazing and beautiful girlfriend who I love very much! :)
That is all the main stuff I think!!
I am now studying Multidisciplinary Science which is a bridging course to get into Software Engineering half way through the year. I have to get an average of 65% on all units which I am studying…;
Scientific Computing
I have to do this bridging course because I didn't have the pre-requisites to go straight into engineering.
I am enjoying most of them apart from Physics which is (as always) turning out to be boring and stupid and I don't like it. Oh well!!
I have to do it…
Paris and I have been seeing less of each other lately because of our uni timetables conflicting apart from a few hours on one day where we can catch up!
We actually caught up on the weekend just past few a bit in the city and then went to a family friend's party (Paris's family friend) which was good!!
I have just finished a exhausting day of uni and work; having to wake up at 4am to go to work and then uni till 4pm :(
anyway I am off now enjoy your day and peace out!!
Keep cool :P

(I Can't Believe) She Gives It All To Me Lyrics
I pinch myself when I wake up each morning
'Cause I'm constantly amazed when I see
Exactly everything I've always wanted
But I can't believe she gives it all to me.
Lips that warm my face with morning kisses
Arms that reach to hold me tenderly
And love that always satisfies completely
But I can't believe she gives it all to me.
She gives me more than any one man deserves
I, who have everything – am nothing without her
Somehow she knows I need her desperately
I can't believe she gives it all to me...

Vaunted College Newspaper Now More Like Real Newspapers
Nights at the Columbia Daily Spectator were spent in a breathless, tipsy, exhausted, self-important haze. The office, like that of many college newspapers, was a clubhouse run by flighty, inexperienced, earnest kids who were behind on their homework. There was an idea that we should be finished by three a.m. in order to send the paper to the printing press. That was the goal post, anyway. In the meantime, we ate pizza from V&T's (which we got for free in exchange for a daily ad); drank Blue Moons (which we got for cash); argued, gossiped, and fell in love with one another while we waited for the stories to be filed. Office romances were known as Speccest. Parties were called Spectails. The executive office was sort of accurately referred to as the panopticon. The printer was named Boobear. As the hours passed, you could almost forget about one of the promised rewards for your labor: seeing your name in print.
Last week, the Spectator's young wardens—the editor-in-chief, managing editor, and publisher—summoned the staff for a grave announcement: they intended to stop printing the paper five days a week. Instead, they said, they will run articles online daily, and publish a print edition weekly. The idea was the product of readership surveys, falling ad sales, and, more recently, conversations with the Spectator's elders—past editors and members of the Board of Trustees. The board's chair is Wendy Brandes, a former editor of the Arts & Entertainment section who has since become a jewelry designer and the wife of Paul Steiger, ex- Wall Street Journal managing editor and the founder of ProPublica. After the Journal and the New York Times quoted Brandes about the decision—"It doesn't matter if you love or hate the Internet—it's here," she declared—she wrote on her blog that she always wanted to be mentioned in these papers, though not for this: "I AM in the New York Times, but I am talking about my college newspaper's website strategy instead of my stunning jewelry inspired by powerful women."
The Times wrote, "The announcement has pitted a group of the paper's alumni who are angered by the decision, seeing it as a travesty against those who view the move as a necessary embrace of the digital age." These two sides are divided roughly by generational lines. My friends, most of whom graduated within the past five years or so, largely tweeted their praise for the Spectator's evident foresight and guts. On the other hand, John R. MacArthur, a trustee who graduated in 1978, and is now the publisher of Harper's, had this reaction: "I am quite simply appalled by the arrogant, presumptuous tone of the board members, and the staff, who want so blithely to dispense with more than a hundred years of tradition."
Columbia, situated as it is in New York City, is kind of a microcosm of the crowded, boisterous media market that surrounds the campus: There's the Spectator, the Eye, Bwog, The Blue & White, The Barnard Bulletin, and The Lion, plus the more academic-minded magazines and journals, the humor publications, and so on. There are rivalries, traitors, and attempts to lure talent; there's link-baiting, fact-stealing, and a lot of disinterest on the part of casual readers with exams on their minds. (My beat was the Manhattanville expansion project; I'd have to forgive non-Spec friends for skipping my dispatches from Community Board 9 meetings.) If the media environment at Columbia holds up a mirror to the real world, then at least it rewards smarts and ingenuity, which are sometimes equal to good old-fashioned reporting of the kind you might learn how to do on the college paper.
The Spectator's headquarters is off campus, on the corner of Broadway and 112th Street, and you should only take the elevator once you've earned the right. (There's no formal initiation, but if you haven't cried in the bathroom, you're probably taking the stairs.) My first assignment was an interview with the president of Tanzania, who was coming to campus as part of a program called the World Leaders Forum. The day before the event, the president cancelled his visit. I was so visibly crushed that the news editor told me I could write a story about how disappointing it was that the president of Tanzania did not show up. This is to say: the Spectator is fraternity-lite; it operates on a kind of social currency, a sense of calling to tradition and the moral, civic dutifulness-of-it-all, combined with the empathy and back-patting of a sports team (not that Columbia's athletic department provides much of an example). When actual money was lacking, there was always just enough of that other stuff to press on.
When news broke of the switch to publish online, there seemed to be some confusion as to whether the Spectator would still be the Daily Spectator—which it indeed will be, even without the ink. Reporters will scramble, news editors will tear their hair out, and sports columnists will scream—except instead of aiming for that 3 a.m. sendoff to the printer, they'll be doing so around the clock; a veritable education in modern journalism. It's a bummer that the Spec will no longer offer the same privilege of seeing your name printed in the morning's paper, which Diana Klos, executive director of the National Scholastic Press Association, told the Journal is an "increasingly a niche product." So is reporting, and so is editing. Doing away with those would be a terrible break in tradition, don't you think?
Over the weekend, the board made its final ruling, making the Spectator the first major Ivy league paper to cease printing a daily paper. (MacArthur voted nay, of course.) And so, an email appeared in my inbox Sunday evening, as there was no need to wait for a morning paper delivery: "We are excited to announce several significant changes to the Columbia Daily Spectator that will take place this fall semester." A party is planned for this Sunday. The editors wrote, "By untying ourselves from the daily print production schedule, we will free editors and writers to focus on providing our readers with the stories they want through the medium they prefer."
As I read the announcement, made official in pixels, I drifted toward a familiar angst: How many articles will go up every morning? How will they maintain a steady schedule of stories? What will prospective recruits make of this—or won't they notice at all, since they're accustomed to reading on screens? Then I recalled a throwaway comment made by a New York Times reporter who bought me a coffee on Capitol Hill when I was a summer intern working (online) at the Washington Post. I had asked how it felt to see his byline appear on A1. I expected him to sigh dreamily and say something like, "The thrill never dies, kid." Instead, he shrugged, and said it was exciting at first, but now he hardly stops to look at it. Time rushes by, and there's so much work to be done.

Important question not answered by this otherwise perfect piece of writing: is "Boobear" pronounced "boo bear" (probably) or "boob ear" (hopefully)?
Well, somebody has to be the first… it wouldn't surprise me if other Ivy League student papers followed very shortly. I am, however, surprised that Wendy's past experiences working at the Wall Street Journal, CNN and People Magazine weren't mentioned. As a longtime friend of hers, I know how much her journalism career influences her to this day.
During my last two years at Columbia (haha, 20 years ago *cringe*) I delivered the Spectator, which paid, implausibly, far more than any other work-study job I could find. Delivery involved pushing a handtruck stacked with newspapers up Amsterdam Ave. from 110th Street to 124th Street and back for a couple hours every afternoon. In my experience, "Speccies" were self-important and condescending assholes who rarely deigned to acknowledge the existence of newspaper deliverypeople. It always amused me that, despite the staffers' all-too-evident suffering and erudition, hardly anyone ever read the damn thing.

Stanford Cardinal football coach David Shaw is not one of those inside the game that has reacted bitterly to the notion of Northwestern University players forming a union following a landmark ruling by a regional director for the National Labor Relations Board that declared the players employees of the university.
Shaw is, however, curious about what's behind the whole thing.
The coach told The Associated Press that he's just not sure what it's all about.
"I'm as confused as anybody as to the importance of this," Shaw said. "I'm curious what's really driving it. I've seen everything and everything that's been asked for, my understanding is it's been provided.
"I think Northwestern does a phenomenal job providing for their kids and it's weird to try to unionize but still compliment Northwestern and compliment their coaching staff on being taken care of. Those things don't seem to go hand in hand."
Alabama coach Nick Saban told the AP on Monday he believes players should have a voice.
"I've always been an advocate of players' rights," Saban said. "I've always been an advocate of players being compensated the best that we can to help them. Whatever the NCAA rule is and whatever they decide to do, I've always been an advocate of the player and the quality of life that a player has. Having a voice in what happens, I think, is something that the players probably ought to have."
It's important to point out that Saban is in a vastly different situation than is Shaw.
The NLRB ruling would only apply to private colleges and universities that have scholarship-level football programs. Public universities would be governed by applicable labor regulations for unions that represent employees of the state and various levels of government in that state.
So while coaching at the University of Alabama, Saban doesn't have any real concerns. Coaching at private Stanford University is a different matter for Shaw—whatever ends up happening at Northwestern sets precedents that could have a very real and immediate impact on The Farm.
Shaw also took issue with comments made by the leader of the players unionization movement at Northwestern, former Wildcat quarterback Kain Colter, who said that Stanford rescinded a scholarship because of an injury.
Shaw recruited Colter out of Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village, Colo.
"I went to his high school," Shaw said. "I talked to his high school coach. I sat there and talked to him for an hour and a half and watched all the kid's film," Shaw said. "There was no way we dropped a scholarship offer because he got hurt."
Shaw said he's talked to his players—"preliminary conversations" is how he termed it—regarding the Northwestern ruling. He did say that his players have not been approached by the College Athletes Players Association or discussed forming a union at Stanford.

Holiday Travel Survival Tips
By: Sarah Lora, GM Corporate Communications , Latin America & Caribbean
As part of Delta's Corporate Communications team, I am fortunate to work with many journalists and social media experts from Latin America and the Caribbean who spend quite a bit of time traveling for work and pleasure. This year I asked some to share their favorite tips on how to navigate busy airports over the holiday season.
• Roberto Mercado: "I like to have an external charger compatible with my Smartphone, this way I don't have to compete for power outlets at a busy airport. Also, I do my check-in on line, update my travel apps and download Wi-Fi games to keep entertained in flight."
• Mark Chesnut: "One of the best holiday gifts you can give yourself is a day pass or an annual membership in an airline VIP lounge like Delta Sky Club.They can provide a wonderfully peaceful escape from hectic airport scenes filled with holiday travelers."
• Jesus Alonso Iglesias: "Don't worry, be ready and be happy. Add to your Twitter, accounts that offer local traffic reports. This will help you to get to the airport faster and avoid congestion."
• Annie Burbano: "What I love the most is having access to Wi-fi on board because it allows me to work as I wish and I love the Delta iPad app, I even wrote a blog post about it! "
• Silvia Oliveira: "I like to use my time wisely while waiting for my flight, tasks like organizing my notebook folders and clean up my mail box are a must before flying."
Delta also has additional travel tools for both travelers such as real time travel assistance available on Twitter in four languages: @DeltaAssist for English, @DeltaAssist_ES for Spanish, @DeltaAjuda for Portuguese and @DeltaAssist_JP.
