Atlanta Hawks Tickets – The New Breed of Hawks
2014-2015 Atlanta Hawks ticket info
Atlanta Hawks tickets didn't sell last year; there's no sugarcoating it. The Hawks finished 28th in the NBA in total attendance for the 2013-14 season, averaging 14,339 fans per home game. Despite an eighth-place finish in the Eastern Conference and a playoff appearance, Hawks tickets went largely unsold last season.
Atlanta finished the regular season at 38-44 but still made the postseason in what was a down year for the East, where they fell to the Indiana Pacers in a hard-fought seven-game series. This season the roster is slightly different, but the Hawks can still contend for the playoffs, as they're accustomed to doing.
Philips Arena seats 18,118 and fans who buy Atlanta Hawks tickets will have the chance to see home games featuring one of the Eastern Conference's deepest backcourts. Jeff Teague will man the point again this season, and is coming off a solid season in 2013-14. Teague averaged 16.5 points per game and a 17.1 PER, both career-highs. His assist numbers were down slightly, but the absence of big man Al Horford due to injury likely contributed to that decline. Teague should bounce back nicely in that department this season.
In addition to Teague, Atlanta's roster boasts reigning three-point shooting percentage champion Kyle Korver. Korver converted on a ridiculous 47.2% of his three-point shots last season, the best such rate in the NBA. Having Korver on the wing will be a nice safety blanket for the Hawks this year, especially if opposing teams focus their efforts on Horford in the paint.
Teague and Korver are Hawks mainstays, but the inclusion of PG Shelvin Mack gives Atlanta considerable lineup options. Mack coexisted well with Teague in a two point guard formation used by the team for much of last season, averaging 13.1 points per 36 minutes of time on the court. Mack isn't by any means a threat to steal the no. 1 PG spot from Teague, but his presence as the team's third- or fourth-best guard allows the coaching staff flexibility and peace of mind in case of injury.
Hawks tickets are likely to be undervalued this season, especially for a playoff-caliber team. Teague, Korver, and Mack should combine to provide the firepower that can lift the team to the postseason once again.
Atlanta Hawks ticket info
Atlanta Hawks tickets have been in a state of transition for the past few years as the Hawks seek out the combination that will make the competitive in the Southeast Division with the formidable Miami Heat. GM Danny Ferry had plenty of time to study the winning process in his time at San Antonio and he's making changes that will allow Atlanta to improve their roster while still reaming nimble enough to compete in the free agent market. Hawks tickets holders will have to keep a roster card around for the next few seasons but they'll like what they see happening. A quick glance reveals only a couple of long terms Hawks still remaining, Al Horford and Jeff Teague.
Fans with Atlanta Hawks tickets will enjoy watching Teague again in the 2013-14 NBA season as he has become one of the more productive players in the last few seasons. Atlanta spent money to keep him, committing over $30 million for his services. Last season Teague dished out 7.2 assists and maintaned a shooting average of around 45%, a number that should improve as he becomes a focus of the Hawks offense. Horford is more of a gamble but a gamble that should pay off. Once he regained his health after a chest injury last season he's looked good, racking up plenty of playing time. His 6' 10" presence at center was a linchpin for Atlanta both offensively and defensively.
Atlanta Hawks tickets will bring plenty of new faces, most notable veterans Paul Millsap and Elton Brand. With Millsap around the Hawks can afford to keep Horford in the middle. Millsap is able to make things happen from both the inside and beyond three-point range. Brand has become a fixture in the NBA after over a decade of service and his game shows no signs of slowing down. Indications are that he'll be used sparingly and provide quality depth in tight games.
Atlanta Hawks tickets are going to bring plenty of changes in the next few seasons. New Head Coach Mike Budenholzer is installing a new offense, the roster is new and improved, and Atlanta is well positioned to continue the hunt for additional talent in the coming years. Dealing with the Miami Heat and the rest of the Eastern Conference is going to become easier of all goes as planned. Good things are coming to Philips Arena and Atlanta Hawks tickets are providing the ride.

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Superintendent Bob Krumenaker says the ice caves will close for the season no later than Sunday night March 16 due to rapidly changing ice conditions.
If ice conditions deteriorate before then, the access could close sooner.
"This has been a remarkable ice cave season," Krumenaker noted, "the longest and best one anyone can remember, and certainly the most popular. But spring is coming, the ice is weakening, and we can see the edge of the ice pack coming closer to the mainland ice caves every day. The beautiful formations are melting, and some have already fallen, raising concerns. Safety is our top priority, and by planning for a closure, rather than reacting quickly to a change in conditions, we can assure that the season ends on a high note."
Bayfield Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Bureau Executive Director David Eades estimates that there's been a $10-12 million boost from the increased winter traffic. "This has been an amazing boon to the regional economy and although we would love this to continue for another month, the safety of the visitor always comes first." Eades stated, "Although the sea caves will not be accessible again until summer, the area still has plenty of snow for all the other winter activities in the area."

M.i - Sundress Pt. 2
Artist: M.i
Producer: M.i
Album: The Basement Chronicles: Chapter 1
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 4 votes )
Thus far in the promotional campaign for its new compilation album, Republic Records has liberated never-before-heard cuts from Jared Evan (State I'm In) and Sammy Adams (Pop Money). Though the latter dropped just yesterday, the label is already back with another fresh song release off the set, this one coming courtesy of M.i. The Austin native's first feature since hooking up with The DJBooth to release Pushing Keyes back in May, Sundress Pt. 2 is a sensual snapshot of summer love. The artist's own subdued guitar strums set the mood as he waxes poetic about his girl's appearance in the titular garment, in the process switching deftly between sung and flowed vocals. Feeling it? The Basement Chronicles: Chapter 1 is available now on iTunes. Another song release off the set, T. Mills's Riverside Girl, will hit our front page later today.

It's hard to know how far Comrades Putin, Zyuganov and Co. intend to go with this mess their agents, lackeys and proxies have fomented in Ukraine, but it's a superb opportunity for Russian neo-imperialism/neo-fascism/neo-communism to reassert itself. A weak, uncoordinated response from NATO could lead to similar Kremlin-sponsored adventurism in both the Former Soviet Union and the former East Bloc.
Although he would be very elderly if still alive, Anatoliy Golitsyn's analysis of the Ukraine crisis would no doubt be very illuminating. This unique KGB defector's most valuable insight was to remind Western analysts that communists are very persistent in their determination to overthrow freedom and capitalism, adroit in both organization and propaganda, and capable of concocting multi-decade plans to bring about their totalitarian global regime.
Meanwhile, for your resident blogger summer vacation has arrived. This is likely to be our last post for the next three weeks.

In recent weeks we have posted less frequently on the Ukraine crisis. Other responsibilities have made it difficult to keep this blog up to date.
However, we have redirected our efforts to the writing of a history of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic from a "Golitsynian" perspective.
Work began last year and the project is now many hundreds of pages in length.
We hope to publish this history late next year or possibly in 2016.

If the so-called people's republics in Donetsk and Lugansk can consolidate their hold on the two regions, then Russian Ground Forces can follow later.

If Putin has not reacted to the call of the 'Donetsk People's Republic' to make it a part of Russia, it does not mean he gave up the Donbass region. On the contrary, I don't doubt that Russia will start military action by the election on May 25 and call it a 'peacekeeping operation in eastern Ukraine'. By the way, Belarus will take part in the 'operation' too. Lukashenka made a clear hint lately. Putin wants not only the Donbass region, but also entire Ukraine, Transnistria, a part of Latvia and Estonia. A new Russian Empire is the only state that would require Putin as president. Putin is under strong pressure from overexcited Russian patriots, whom he agitated.

It is a well-known fact that the 'liberation' of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 began with the arrival at Prague airport of Soviet military transport planes with VDV troops on board. The airborne troops did not need parachutes; the planes simply landed at the airport. Before the troops disembarked there was a moment when both the aircraft and their passengers were completely defenceless. Was the Soviet high command not taking a risk? No, because the fact is that by the time the planes landed, Prague airport had already been largely paralysed by a group of 'tourists' who had arrived earlier.

Colorado State Says Firing Of AD Graham Unrelated To Failing Drive For Stadium Funds
Published August 11, 2014
BLOW TO STADIUM PROJECT? The COLORADOAN's Lyell noted Graham's firing could "be a blow" to the stadium project. Graham is the one who "first pitched the idea" to Frank in '11 and received approval based on the understanding that at least $125M -- half of the estimated construction costs at the time -- "had to be raised through private donations before ground could be broken." Frank insisted that the firing was "unrelated to the stadium project" (Ft. Collins COLORADOAN, 8/10). Frank said that it had "become clear" that he and Graham "had irreconcilable differences of opinion about the direction of the department" (DENVER POST, 8/9). In Colorado, Miles Blumhardt wrote Graham's firing "sent shock waves" through the stadium project. Blumhardt wrote of Frank, "Fort Collins is an affluent community. Just say it like it is. You finally figured out that CSU completely botched selling the community on the project, and anti-stadium proponents effectively derailed the project. ... Making music with Graham wasn't working, and you decided to save your reputation and let Jack go because Jack wasn't giving up his dream" (Ft. Collins COLORADOAN, 8/10).

The quality was so, so. The color lighter and more red/brown than chocolate/brown. I placed it in my dinning room. I have two dogs and one of them scratched the carpet and made a whole in it. I have rugs all over the house and no problem, but the quality of this one is so loose that it got destroyed. I had to get rid of it already and it hasn't even been a year. Would not recommend it.
At first we loved the rug -- it was nice and thick, and the ridge design gave it depth and character. After a few days, we started noticing clumps of fluff shedding from the rug, and we hoped it was just because the rug was new. But alas, it's been a couple of months now, and it's still shedding.
A nice thick quality rug, it actually has thin stripes of browns which you can only see close up. The color or Hershey's Milk Chocolate. Darker than I thought it would be so I'm glad. Go O!

This place was awesome! I went there with a good friend of mine to get away from the stress of being a stay-at-home mom & just relax & have a good time. That's exactly what this the Guest House was. The atmosphere & hosts were so friendly & welcoming. They made us feel right at home, not like we were staying at a hotel, but like we were staying with friends. Happy hour out back on the secluded lawn was a huge perk, you don't want to miss it. It's a great way to relax & meet new people after a day on the beach, before heading out again for the night. The location is awesome, only a short walk from the beach, boardwalk, shops, & nightlife. Since we had a room with a shared bathroom, parking was not great for us. They gave us a parking pass so we didn't have to plug meters, which was great, but it was really hard finding a parking space, so we had to work around that. But since we were so close to everything, once we got our car parked, it was there to stay until it was time to load up & head out. Although we didn't see a need for renovation & loved the quaintness & simplicity, they will be renovating it later in the year. I can only see it getting better. We will return!

VIDEO INTERVIEW Davis Family Training Camp
By Jason Bryant | Aug. 18, 2010, 12:26 p.m. (ET)She's won nine World medals, picking up some hardware every single time she's competed on the World stage. Kristie Davis has always balanced wrestling with motherhood, but now with one-year-old Lilly and husband Link in the picture, how has Kristie's focus changed?
Davis talked with USA Wrestling along with her youngest daughter and husband, a 2010 World Team Coach, about the differences this time around, her return to the mat after over a year away from competition and settling into the weight class she found most of her international success.
At 31, Davis is the oldest and most experienced member of the U.S Women's World Team, but she's also back in school at Oklahoma City University, where Link is an assistant coach, trying to finish up and earn a degree.
Watch the interview with most of the Davis family below.

Police are hunting a rider who appears to hit 189mph on UK roads in a YouTube clip. The speed is thought to be the fastest ever recorded on UK roads and posted on a film sharing site.
It's the latest in a series of clips that have prompted police to launch a clampdown in which riders' homes have been searched and computer equipment seized.
It shows onboard footage of a Kawasaki ZX-10R on the A417 in Gloucestershire. It has been viewed over 8,000 times.
Inspector David Collicott, Gloucester Police's Inspector for Traffic Management and Road Safety, said: "We will be examining the footage on YouTube to try and identify the rider and his associates with a view to bringing them to justice."

The second wave in a new line of Sony cameras is turning regular smartphone picture takers into bona fide photographers.
Size matters, and when it comes to action cams, the smaller you go the better. No stranger to this knowledge, Sony has just performed a shrink-down makeover on its mini cam lineup and is introducing the aptly-named Action Cam Mini.
Indecisive digital camera shoppers now have two good reasons to take another look at the Sony RX10: super boosted video quality and a near 25 percent drop in price.
The freebie photo editor market just got better with the arrival of Pixlr for Mac and Windows machines.
Offering further evidence that the selfie craze is here to stay, the latest offering from Olympus is a compact mirrorless camera with a design intended not only to encourage more self-portrait photography, but also to enable users to achieve a higher quality result in the process.
Originally only available on Android, Google's Photo Sphere now allows iOS users to see what all the fuss is about, in stunningly immersive, 360-degree clarity.
Packaging advanced DSLR features into a compact, user-friendly interface, the new Pentax K-S1 looks like a marriage between camera and smartphone that could appeal to photographers of a variety of experience levels.
Instagram videos just got a much needed quality infusion thanks to Hyperlapse, an app that should make amateur-shot short form vids more viewable.
The Fujifilm X30, successor to the X20, is the latest iteration of the X-series compact camera, and it includes a Real Time Viewfinder Fujifilm calls "the largest, brightest, fastest and highest resolving viewfinder in its class."
Casio's Exilim EX-FR10 lets adventurers take selfies anywhere.
German manufacturer Leica is giving its retro rangefinder cameras a makeover, ditching the classic red dot logo but sticking with the 50s-era aesthetics of its M series digital shooters.
Ever wonder what a dog sees? GoPro has a mount for that.
