i loved the several different swimming pools! loved our view to the ocean!helpful people. the koi pond with black/white swans. food was good but, pricey. location was beautiful! great buffet breakfast each morning.close to elevators.
no hangers in the room!!! glass sliding door to balcony was not cleaned before or during our six days there. walls were thin, heard everything!(wake-up calls,cell phones and more)swim towels smelled bad most days. the peacock calling out during the nightgood security going outside to pools. before arriving, i e-mail the hotel about activities to do around the area and was told 'elliot' will contact me - never happened. unattended kids were always present at the pools, running in front of us and jumping in the water on infinety pool wall while we were chilling out daily.(in a 3 foot area) great people running the 'snuba' hut on the beach. nice having a locker room by the beach to change in, free lockers to use.

Cleanliness and proximity to restaurants and stores.
Only 1 real restaurant that was way overpriced. 2 eggs with bacon and coffee was $18.95. That's preposterous. We ate at a local restaurant 1 block away and got 2 eggs, bacon and pancakes for $6.00. 2 eggs with bacon alone was only $4.00.I like the Marriott chain. It was very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The casino was small but nice. I wish there was a snack machine on our floor. I liked that there was a car rental on the premises. The pool was very clean as was the beach. I would definitely go back to that hotel.

The lobby bathrooms were not always clean or had enough supplies. Pool areas need more attention in reference to being cleaned more often, such as dirty towels and plates and cups of food and beverage.

Liked the pool and beach.
Service was horrible. Staff wasn't friendly. Had to ask front desk 3 times for someone to unclog our bathroom shower (super unhygienic) and after everything was said and done they didn't come to fix it or move us rooms. They didn't even compensate us for the horrible inconvenience. The place felt really run down and in a not so safe location for walking around. Additionally the bathroom wouldn't stop flushing all night so the sound of water was really annoying. Not to mention the smell of this rancid running water. Waist experience at an intercontinental (which I'm truly a fan of usually).

The staff was amazing! They work really hard to make sure you are happy while you stay. The stay was great for Old San Juan area, and was unique which made it better.
Not having a direct window (there was one that opened to an open area) was down side and expected, but I totally get it with the age of the building. The stairs weren't bad but we are in our 30's.There was street construction and the taxi couldn't get us directly to the hotel so we missed it the first walk by. The staff upon exit worked really hard to get us taxi that could get up front.

The deluxe King room was fairly big and had a nice ocean view. It included a king bed, a dining table for 2, a desk for writing, a microwave and a minifridge. I enjoyed having free WiFi. It is a hotel with all the basic necessities. The hotel is well located near bus and taxi transportation. There are also restaurants, a supermarket, a bank, postoffice, a cinema etc. - all closeby. The checkin service was prompt, friendly and courteous. We arrived early and were given our room prior to the scheduled checkin time.
The carpets were vacuumed but can use a steam cleaning. I guess this would be a major undertaking. Just use slippers when in the room.

I liked the hotel in general but they have very limited parking and we had to park about 2 block away, also the night receptionist was kind of clueless about what to do in case of trouble, but at least he was smart enough to call the manager when he couldn't find our reservation.

Often, in conversations about the Chinese language, friends want to knowhow I can read and write Chinese characters. They appear intricate and exotic.Originally, Chinese writing developed from pictures. The images eventually tookon symbolic meaning and over time became increasingly abstract. Even now,however, reading Chinese characters is like looking at pictures.
So whathappens when you look at an image? What do you pay attention to? What do yourecognize? What do you remember? When you look at a painting, you remember thegeneral placement of its features. Once the painting is removed from your sight,you probably are not able to reconstruct it completely from memory. Yet, you areable to draw upon and build images in your head with repeated exposures to thepainting as it becomes more and more familiar. When I read Chinese, what I seeautomatically conjures up sets of meanings and images associated with the variousChinese characters. The characters are like familiarpaintings.
Frequently, graphic designers will take a widely recognizedpainting, such as the Mona Lisa, and alter the colors, the background, the facialexpression, or other structural features, but, nonetheless, the viewer isinstantly able to recognize the painting while realizing that something isdifferent. What happens is perhaps similar to what occurs with a computer'srecognition of a typo. The computer is programmed to match the misspelled wordwith familiar, often-used words stored in its memory. My level of familiaritywith the Chinese language enables me to know if a character is incorrectlywritten. Similar to reading in English, it's often easy to understand the meaningof the writing even with spelling errors, because we are able to make matcheswith words as they would be correctly written.
It would be interesting toask my friends, "How did you learn to read and write the English language?How do you recognize the words as you read?" The same methods probably applyto the learning of other languages. Often, the most intricate and exoticphenomena are those that are most familiar. Amzanig, huh?

Can anyone recommend a good tractor guy to work on my super A in the Bluegrass area?
It is leaking gear oil so bad I need to do something soon. Bad timing on my part but I guess that how it goes sometime.
Not only does it leak it pretty well but it needs a good going over. Brakes, clutch, carb. Governor, rear engine main seal, etc.
Is this something that will cost an arm & leg?
Would it be cheaper to look for another tractor that is in better shape?
What do you guys think?

With the jails being over crowded and the court judges demanding the release of quite a few inmates because of the over crowded jails, these convicts maybe out in a few years. What can we do?
1) Vote to reinstate the death penalty
2) Outsource our violent criminals to foreign countries. That can take care of them.

Hulmesville Borough
committee members got an earful from dozens of residents in a standing-room
only meeting about a treatment facility for sexually violent predators
operating since July of 2012.
Most residents say they were never
told about the Resources for Human Development facility taking up office space
in an unmarked building with blinds down, across the street from several homes
where children live and play.
"Now that you guys slipped up its on
you," said David Goodman to the council.
He lives close to the site on Reetz Avenue.
"By letting bus loads of new
convicts come in to have treatment in the middle of our neighborhood, don't you
think we're just asking for trouble?" another resident said to the board.
Community members say it should be
moved to an industrial complex of some kind, away from areas with
children. Board members say they are
working with the operator to address concerns but confirmed it has been doing
business without a borough permit.
However, that doesn't mean it could
be shut down so easily.
"We're really looking at the
ordinance with a fine tooth comb trying to find an avenue of whether they can
stay or can't stay," a committee member said.
Borough police say they will boost
patrols on Wednesdays and Thursdays when the treatment center sees the most
No one answered at the facility when
we knocked for comment and our calls were not returned to their regional
offices in Philadelphia.

A comparison of the Bulls rebuild to the Wizards recently linked approvingly on Ted's Take in a post called "I Like This One". The quote that caught my attention: -------------------- "What exactly did Chicago management do that was so special? It was also more of what they did not do. At the end of the 2008-2009 season, as mentioned above, the Chicago Bulls improved by a solid 9 games and made the playoffs almost shocking the defending Champion Boston Celtics in the first round. Many executives, following a similar season, would have ensured that their entire roster remain intact, especially those younger players, regardless of the costs. Especially if that player led the team in scoring and was only 25 years young. I am speaking of course of Ben Gordon." -------------------------------------------- hmmmm....
Nick Young's 360 Layup, Top Ten Play of the Year Candidate... The crowd went beserk....I am not sure if people hear it on TV, but after that layup the "DEFENSE" chants were some of the loudest I have heard. DC Fans are troopers!!!!
Nick is bringing out his inner Gilbert this season, apparently.
Evaluating Nick Young's 2008/09 season.
Six reasons why Nick Young may no longer be a member of the Wizards because of the acquisition of Randy Foye.

Great update from Michael Lee of the Post about Nick Young's offseason workouts with Flip Saunders and Sam Cassell. It sounds like Nick's getting some really good personal attention here and is working hard. This is probably a good thread to discuss Nick's status on the team and as an asset before I finish up my ideal SG for Arenas post later today.
Finding the ideal backcourt mate for Gilbert Arenas, using lots of numbers and several gut feelings.
For each player in the NBA, ESPN's John Hollinger lists an older player who had similar stats when he was the age of the younger player. Who does he compare Nick Young to? Rip Hamilton. And...

From a visual perspective it looks a combination of Pepto Bismol meet Dr. Seuss, the interior decorator must have been high. With that aside, as I know that seems kind-of petty, you cannot get around the ship in a straight line; ever. VERY, VERY poor design and very dark inside. So, ok, its like an ugly cousin; what can they do about that now? Maybe try harder to please? Nope, not that either. The dining room staff, stay far, far away from the Pearl restaurants, act like they are running a Gulag. The choices are awful, they forget or don't deliver your orders, and when they do deliver it they nearly throw it at you. Most of the meat choices in the dining room are entirely unrecognizable as protein. The pasta is gut-wrentchingly bad, to look at and eat. I ordered lasagna once (really, how can you wreck that?) and had plastic-looking un-melted cheese throughout with some kind of grey-meat that tasted like cinnamon(?). All meals in the Black Pearl were inedible. I reccommend the buffet (not too bad for dinner) or pay the $30.00 extra for the Steakhouse (superb food and staff). Breakfast at the buffet consists of a lot of "powdered" eggs; but there were other tasty options. Lunch; burgers the best (by the big pool) but be careful of the Ruben or grilled sandwiches by the adult pool. Again; all of the the meat is the wrong color.
If you like to do some "duty-free" shopping on the ship there is very little choice. Not many store available and all of the "stores" are small and minimally supplied (although the alcohol choices were good).
The entertainment was excellent, I would recommend the variety show as the talent was topnotch.

more tomorrow!
Awesome work in here dudes, can't wait to see this finished
One note though, it's been said a bunch of times in this T-Chow section and on in the main thread but the format (width-height ratio) was set to the example given. I noticed yours are all varying a lot which might not fit the brief, just figured I'd point that out.
wow you guys are totally rocking this!!! O_O
Great work guys, really loved the last batch!
Trevor - Hey, it's a little late but I thought I'd mention it anyway. I really liked the color tutorial you did in the ImagineFX May issue, stellar work man!
Yoitisi: The brief states that "6. Please keep to the format of the image below. We're gonna be a little bit more strict about presentation this time - each portrait should be portrait-aligned, like so, and the figure about as big as the one you see below. Full bodied figures, please."
I took that to mean that we just had to make sure that the canvas was in a portrait format, rather than landscape, square, etc. And that we needed to keep the figure at approximately the same size relationship as it is in the Zhang Lu example. But if it means we have to use the exact same dimensions as that one, then I guess we better fix that Anyone know?
Looking awesome guys, I've got most of today set aside to work on mine.
Twitchfinger: Well, I started seeing squar-ish compositions in here so But yeh I think Jason means sticking to the format pretty strictly, actually.
so what do we need to change our aspect ratio?
I'm glad I keep checking this thread, this ratio aspect being a precise requirement was not something I'd realized until reading these last few posts.

Sorry for the confusion, guys. I think most of yours are fine there's only a couple that are a little too square.
Character of the Week: It's Good Medicine!
Marco: that piece is looking incredibly rad. The depth and movement is really working, not to mention how sick the design itself is. I really like the strokes happening in the background.
JUst one little thing I picked up on though. In my opinion his armour looks more menacing than the weapon he is wielding. Perhaps either make the ball more spiky, or it could perhaps be a keyring sorta thing on the end of the chain, if you can imagine the keys being big blades. also some little spikes coming off the links would look pretty rad, like a chainsaw.
Keep shakin that green ass dude!
Trevor: The idea behind your latest piece is raelly well concepted. Gonna keep my eyes on it's progress. Thanks for the Thanks in my team thread too, not sure what it was about.

Trials & Litigation
Banned from campus over 'Hot for Teacher' essay, college student loses free speech suit
Posted Jul 23, 2013 5:40 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A federal judge in Michigan has dismissed a free-speech suit filed by an Oakland University student who was banned from campus for several semesters after writing an essay about his attraction to his creative writing instructor.
It was titled "Hot for Teacher" and described her as "tall, blonde, stacked," the Associated Press notes.
In a motion to dismiss (PDF) filed at the end of April, counsel for the university said Joseph Corlett's complaint concerned "curricular speech," which can properly be restricted. (The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education also provides links to other documents in the case.)
"Under the curricular speech doctrine, the slim protection afforded to Corlett's speech was negated because Defendants had legitimate educational and pedagogical bases for restricting and punishing that speech," wrote the university's counsel, Leonard M. Niehoff and Sean F. Crotty of Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn.
A federal judge apparently agreed, finding that language in the essay might be appropriate for a karaoke bar, but doesn't have to be tolerated in a college setting, the AP reports.
Corlett's lawyers could not immediately be reached by the news agency for comment.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Lawyers on opposite sides of Pennsylvania's voter-identification law are slated to meet with a Commonwealth Court judge to discuss how to handle arguments on the law's constitutionality.
The status conference before Judge Robert Simpson is set for Thursday in a Harrisburg courtroom.
The law took effect in March and was the focus of a protracted legal fight that reached the state Supreme Court. It resulted in Simpson suspending a requirement that voters show photo identification for this year's election, but allowing the law to stand.
Democrats say the law disenfranchises voters, particularly minorities, young people and senior citizens. Republicans backers say it's a safeguard against fraud.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation issued more than 16,000 photo IDs for voters who lacked the types of IDs that the law requires.

Steel beams and metal framework show the shape of Esmond Station K-8 in the Vail Unified School District right now. The school will open in a year off of Mary Ann Cleveland on the far southeast side, and be able to accommodate about 500 students.
"Critical thinking skills for children, let their creativity flow instead of the traditional direct instruction," principal Jerry Wood said about the way students will learn at the school. "You get to make quite a few decisions on what's going into the place and you get to see it go from the ground up."
The school also links Vail's past to the students' futures. An 1880's rail bed can be seen crossing the grounds, and a railroad foreman's house has been moved to the campus. That house will provide a place for students not only to learn about the past but for high school students to learn carpentry.
"This house is a bridge to our past in the Vail community and this house will also teach our students history for years to come," Wood said.
"To have that opportunity to say, 'This is a piece of our past, this is who we are today and this is where we're going in the future right along that same railroad line, I think that that's just a wonderful opportunity," said Vail Unified School District assistant superintendent John Carruth.
The district has attracted parents and students from across Tucson; however, the seats have dwindled and resident students have priority. While Esmond Station could offer more opportunities for open enrollment students, Vail residents are the priority.
"Our primary concern, though, is to make sure we provide adequate seats and adequate space and adequate, quality education that we're known for the students and families we serve in Vail schools and the Vail community," Carruth said.
"This is the innovation of Vail," Wood said.
The school will likely be completed by the end of the calendar year; however, classes won't start in full swing until next summer in 2014.

If both teams win out, the first tiebreaker will be record against the third-place team, which will be either USC Upstate or ETSU. Both teams are currently tied for third at 10-7 and will face each other on Upstate's home court next Friday night. If FGCU and Mercer both win their final three games and Upstate defeats ETSU, the Eagles will clinch the No. 1 seed and have home-court advantage throughout the A-Sun Tournament. If the same scenario plays out but ETSU defeats Upstate, Mercer will earn the No. 1 seed.
FGCU can only finish first or second in the league standings. The Eagles have guaranteed themselves the right to host a quarterfinal tournament game on Tuesday, Mar. 4, at 7 p.m. With a win, FGCU would also host a semifinal matchup on Thursday, Mar. 6, at either 6:30 or 8:30 p.m.
TWEETABLES (5 Things To Know In 140 Characters Or Less)
• FGCU, which leads the A-Sun in defense (66.5/game), held Mercer to a season-low-tying 61 Friday, 20 of which came in the final four minutes.
• Jamail Jones recorded his first career double-double against Mercer with 11 points and a career-high 13 rebounds.
• Bernard Thompson scored just seven points Friday, but in the process became only the second player in program history to tally 1,300 career points.
• Brett Comer needs only 35 points to reach 1,000 for his career; he would become FGCU's third player this year to reach the milestone.
• An Alico Arena record crowd of 4,664 witnessed the Mercer game, the ninth sellout and fourth standing-room-only sellout of the season.
Fieler (Parkersburg, W. Va./Parkersburg South HS) helped lead FGCU to its first A-Sun Championship last year and a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. Along the way, his polarizing dunks – including the iconic alley-oop from Comer (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park HS) in the win over Georgetown – secured the Dunk City moniker. Over the course of his career, Fieler has transcended the FGCU program as he won 10 games as a freshman, 15 as a sophomore and is now on the verge of back-to-back 20-win seasons.
Fieler ranks in the program's top 5 all-time in 10 different statistical categories. He will graduate as FGCU's all-time leader in rebounding (656), blocked shots (127), games played (127) and games started (110). Additionally, he currently ranks 4th in points (1,204), 4th in field goals made (448), 4th in free throws made (208) and 5th in steals (198).
Earlier this year the 6-8 forward became the first player in FGCU history to score 1,000 career points and grab 600 career rebounds. Furthermore, he also became the first player in the Division-I era of the program to score 30 points in a game when he tallied exactly that amount in the 7 a.m. game on ESPN2 against Hartford.
Boasting eight career double-doubles, only two other active players in the A-Sun have more, and his 11 career double-figure rebounding games – eight of which have come this year – also rank 3rd among all active A-Sun players.
FGCU is currently 59-59 all-time in the A-Sun, and with a win will get its all-time conference record above .500 for the first time since the program's first D-I season in 2007-08. The last time the Eagles had an all-time A-Sun record above .500 was when they were 4-3 following an 87-80 road win at then-member Gardner-Webb on Jan. 26, 2008.
• FGCU won the first meeting this year against Kennesaw State, claiming an 83-62 win in Georgia last month to bounce back from a loss at Mercer two days earlier.
• Kennesaw State is coming off 67-63 win at Stetson Friday night.
• The win against the Hatters was the second in three contests for the Owls, who had lost eight in a row prior to that.
• Delbert Love leads KSU at 11.7 points per game, while Orlando Coleman is the lone other double-figure scorer at 10 per outing. Coleman also averages 6 rebounds per game to pace the Owls.
• Kennesaw corralled 15 offensive rebounds in the first meeting between the two teams, tied for the second most FGCU has allowed in any A-Sun game this year.
• Only two teams in the nation have turned the ball over more times this year than Kennesaw State, which commits a league-high 16 giveaways per game.
• The Owls look to make up for their turnover problems as they rank in the top 75 nationally with 172 steals, coming out to an average of nearly seven per contest.
Kennesaw State is 0-11 when shooting less than 40 percent from the field. In A-Sun play, FGCU is only allowing its opponents to connect at a 38.9-percent clip from the floor, the best in the league.
• FGCU held a 26-23 halftime lead over Mercer and is now 13-0 on the year when leading at the half.
• The Eagles out-rebounded Mercer, the A-Sun's leader in rebounding differential, by a season-best 19 boards, 48-29.
• FGCU scored 49 points in the second half against the Bears compared with the 26 it tallied in the first half; the +23 scoring difference is the largest in any game this year.
• Additionally, the 23.4 field-goal percentage increase from the first half (35.7 percent, 10-28) to the second half (59.1 percent, 13-22) is the best this season.
Thompson (Conyers, Ga./Rockdale County HS) needs just one steal to tie and two steals to break FGCU's all-time steals record of 194 held by Bryan Crislip. Additionally, the junior needs only five field goals to tie and six to break the program's all-time field goals made mark of 462 held by Ryan Hopkins.
Dating back to last year, FGCU has won 18 of its past 19 home games, and boasts a 27-2 record at Alico Arena since the start of the 2012-13 campaign: (Losses: Lipscomb, Iona). Last year, 10 of FGCU's 11 losses came away from Alico Arena, and so far this season only one of the Eagles' losses have occurred inside the friendly confines of The Nest where they are 12-1.
FGCU is better in every key statistical category at home than on the road with the exception of free-throw shooting. The Eagles are connecting at a 67.8-percent clip (158-233) in their 13 road games (5-8) and 64.2 percent (174-271) at home. FGCU's lone home loss came at the hands of hot-shooting Iona at the end of Thanksgiving break. The Gaels are 18-8 on the year and in first place in the MAAC at 15-2.
FGCU hits the road for its final two regular-season games next week at Lipscomb (13-14, 8-8 A-Sun) on Feb. 27 and at Northern Kentucky (8-20, 4-12 A-Sun) on Mar. 1. The game against the Bisons in Nashville is set to tip at 6 p.m. local time (7 p.m. Eastern) on ESPN3, while the contest against the Norse is scheduled for a 1 p.m. tip.

Remember Me
DEAR EDITOR:Paper boys and girlsWow what a job these kids do! They are out in all kinds of weather, up by 4 a.m. on Saturday morning and out the door delivering. It's pretty much a thankless job, as people want their paper put in specific places. I can certainly see the elderly or handicapped may need this help but the younger generation certainly doesn't. Then the Delphos Herald gets calls that their paper wasn't delivered and they blame the carrier. Before you get irate, maybe you should think did someone else in the family pick it up, did a neighbor pick it up by mistake, did a neighborhood dog carry it away, who knows. But instead of getting all upset over it why don't you call your paper carrier and ask if they could bring you another one? These young carriers don't get paid much. Yes, I understand it teaches them responsibility and gives them the tools they need to find a better job when they are older. I can honestly tell you that most people wouldn't do this job because of the pay. So, congratulations to these young kids and their parents who support them. Remember your paper carriers at Christmas and tip them once in a while if you see them. Tell them what a great job they do. Before you complain maybe you should deliver the paper with them one day to see just what they do go through. Donna KlinglerDelphos

I Heard a Rumor - PCLOS 8.1 in the Works?Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 6th of February 2005 05:07:02 AM Filed under
A little birdie told me that an update to the acclaimed PCLinuxOS Preview 8 is in the works and possibly due out next week. Details are a bit sketchy at this time, but it seems Tom has been hard at work updating the hardware detection and mklivecd scripts. Now don't get your hopes up, but I hear it might sport a newer 2.6.10 kernel, including patches to fix a little kvm switch problem. Of course it will include all kinds of application updates and other goodies. More on this as it develops.
Mandrake's Clustering AgainSubmitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 6th of February 2005 04:49:03 AM Filed under

Mandrake has a some previous experience in that arena so maybe they can prove to be an asset. Here's a more in depth article on the subject. They want to harness our cpu cycles, and it sounds like for commercial purposes. Show me the money then I say. Until then, I'm looking for aliens.

Seems Mr. Gates is at it again with saying one thing while trying to cleverly conceal his jabs at Linux. This time speaking of interoperability amongst differing architectures while stating that doesn't mean open source as open source is detrimental to interoperability. Does that seem backwards to anyone else besides me? This is posted all over the net, but here's one reference at Betanews.

If your mower is a C3 mower, or Danco, the belts for the outer blades are tightened by moving the outer spindles. The bolts are in slotted holes to allow them to move. On a Woods 59 inch there is only one belt that runs everything and it is tightened by adjusting the idler pulley.

"We didn't know what we were going to do, but we couldn't do that much longer," Executive Director and Founder Leneda Jones said. When asked about the group's two greatest needs last year, Jones responded space and transportation. With Mark and Phillip Bozeman stepping up to donate excess space at the back of the Dora Piggly Wiggly, Jones saw one of those needs met last fall. The transportation need was met this week when AT&T Alabama stepped in to donate $5,000 to purchase a small panel truck for the group to use in deliveries.
Terri Williams, regional director of external affairs for AT&T Alabama, said after she spoke to Jones about the group's needs last year, they were happy to be able to help.
"We are glad that we were able to help," Williams said. "Figuratively and literally, this puts the spirit of giving in motion. We want to be able to help where we're the most needed."
Jones said the panel truck has greatly improved the delivery process, with a ramp to easy loading and unloading and being able to carry all the containers at once, rather than making multiple trips or use multiple vehicles.
"We are just so grateful and blessed by this," Jones said. "We didn't have to apply or fill out a grant or anything, they came to us."
The group is hoping to get the truck painted or wrapped to cover the old bread company logos that currently adorn the sides of the panels, but just having the vehicle has been a major improvement for the group so far.
The nonprofit, started in 2010, provides food to children in the community who are in need by placing a bag of food discretely inside their backpack every Friday afternoon during the school year. The items are single-serving, ready-to-eat items the kids can serve themselves so they don't go hungry on weekends when they are away from school.
When the group started, they were serving 100 children at Sumiton Elementary/Middle School, but soon grew to cover other elementary schools in Dora, Cordova and Jasper through community donations. The group always has a waiting list of children in need and looks to expand its numbers as well as the schools covered whenever an opportunity presents itself.
"She is definitely filling a need," Williams said of Jones and the program.
Donations to Backyard Blessings can be made by calling Jones at 544-9094 or sent by mail to P.O. Box 129 Sumiton, AL 35148.

Isn't it about time you supported a proper club sunshine and supported Saints instead of Warrington?
Updated 1:07pm Thursday 13th February 2014 in News By Andrew Kilmurray, News Editor
Boxer Martin Murray is just one of the many Saints fans eagerly awaiting kick-off of the new Super League season tonight.
Saints travel to Warrington for Thursday's televised game and Martin will be hoping a win for Nathan Brown's boys may persuade his five-year-old son Archie (pictured) to switch his allegiances from primrose and blue to the red vee.
Martin said: "Everyone knows I'm a Fingerpost lad and a huge Saints fan.
"But we live in Warrington and Gemma my wife and her parents all support the Wolves.
"I must admit I let my guard down and before I knew it he was supporting Warrington. I'm still working on him though."

Wimbledon tennis star Ross Hutchins has targeted the US Open in August for his return to action after being diagnosed with cancer.
The 27-year-old, due to start chemotherapy this week, announced on Twitter that he would be "away from tennis for a while" as he begins his fight against Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
However, one of the first people he told was his best and trusted friend Andy Murray, who tearfully dedicated his Brisbane International win last week to Hutchins saying: "I'd like to dedicate this victory to one of my best friends. He's back home watching – you're going to get through it."
Hutchins, a former pupil at King's College School, told the Wimbledon Guardian: "The treatment is likely to last about six months, but I am eager to get back playing as soon as possible.
"I am looking at September or October, but the US Open is a big target.
"Treatment of cancer has improved so much over the past 20 years that I have every confidence I will overcome this."
He added: "Getting the news was obviously difficult to take, but the support from family and friends has been immense."
