The MSM Blackout of the Black Panther Scandal vs. Children with Fingers in their Ears
OK–we've all seen small children put their hands over their ears and wail when they are told something that they don't want to hear, like "eat your vegetables" or "take your medicine". However, this is quite strange behavior to behold in adult journalists who work for mainstream media outlets. Now granted, anyone who reads newspapers, and doesn't live under a rock, is somewhat aware that there is a left-wing tilt to the MSM. For instance, there have been the recent embarrassments involving the infamous JournoList–a sophomoric clique of left-wing journalists and bloggers. And, most people are aware that the MSM has a tendency to throw a fit whenever anything negative is said about President Obama or his Administration.
But now, it's come to this. A few days ago, Megyn Kelly broke a huge story on Fox News where she interviewed former Department of Justice attorney, J. Christian Adams. Adams has blown the whistle on the Obama Administration's DOJ for dismissing the infamous voter intimidation case against the Black Panthers, after he had already won the case (the Black Panthers never even showed up in court to answer the charges). Adams claimed that the main reason why the DOJ didn't want to prosecute the Panthers was for racial reasons. Now, one would think that this would be an explosive story and that the mainstream media would be all over this, but instead they are like a toddler putting his fingers in his ears when he is told to eat his vegetables.
Wait–it gets better. In addition to Adams, Megyn Kelly also interviewed renowned civil rights attorney and life-long Democrat, Bartle Bull (who was Robert Kennedy's campaign manager). Bull claimed that he witnessed the Black Panthers threatening voters and shouting racial slurs at the polling place, telling Kelly that, "Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy didn't die so that uniformed thugs could be blocking polling places with weapons". Not to mention, Mr. Bull also claimed that the Black Panthers were working in collusion with ACORN (you know, that lovely group that agreed to aid and abet a child prostitution ring) in order to intimidate the poll-watchers, because ACORN had registered a bunch of illegal voters. (See the embed below.)
Now again, you would think that the MSM would be climbing all over each other to be the first ones to put this story on the front page of their paper. Well, you would be wrong. In fact, The Washington Times recently wrote an op-ed titled, Media blackout for Black Panthers where they wrote the following–
"Where is the New York Times? Where is The Washington Post? Where are CBS and NBC? A whistleblower makes explosive allegations about the Department of Justice; his story is backed by at least two other witnesses; and the allegations involve the two hot-button issues of race and of blatant politicization of the justice system."
In other words, with regard to this story, the MSM are acting like bunch of petulant children who are putting their fingers in their ears and screaming "LA, LA, LA–I can't hear you!!". Why, you ask? Because simply put, it makes the Obama Administration look corrupt. Not to mention, there is nothing that guilty white liberals in the MSM would hate more than having to report about criminal allegations against two African-American organizations. I'm guessing that many of them would rather shave their head with a cheese grater than report on this story.
Allow me put this another way. Suppose that two white Bubbas from Mississippi (wearing overalls and carrying baseball bats, instead of jackboots and nightsticks) were intimidating black voters outside a polling station and shouting racial slurs at them. Now, let's suppose that George W. Bush was still president, and his DOJ dropped the charges on the thugs–after one of its attorneys had already gotten a conviction–for "racial reasons". If you don't think that the MSM would be all over this story and screaming for the resignation of Bush's attorney general (and rightfully so), then I have a blind bird dog and some underwater real estate to sell you.
By the way, it's a little ironic that ACORN turned out to be involved in this story, because, figuratively speaking, this is the ACORN story all over again. In the hilarious video below, Jon Stewart mocks the MSM for letting "the cast of High School Musical 3" scoop them on the ACORN story (or really, drag them kicking and screaming into covering the ACORN story).
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
Furthermore, after the ACORN story became too big to ignore, The New York Times dragged out its public excuse maker, uh I mean public editor, to explain why they had been so late to the party. No one should be surprised if Clark Hoyt has to write another op-ed in a week or so explaining why the Times neglected this story, but I digress.
And finally, what really galled me about this story was the mealy mouthed excuses that Obama's DOJ put forth for not pursuing this case. According to the previous video of Kelly's interviews with Adams and Bull, Obama's DOJ claimed that there "were not enough facts to support the case" and that their lawyers just had "good faith disagreements". (They also accused Mr. Adams of "having and agenda"–oooh, sounds scary.) Well, I decided to dig up the original video of the Black Panthers intimidating voters and watch it again.
Now, I don't have one of them fancy Harvard law degrees, but that looked to me like a clear cut, undeniable case of voter intimidation that left nothing up for interpretation.
Hey MSM–it's time to stop pouting, take your fingers out of your ears and eat your vegetables/report this story. Because with or without you, this story is going to get out. We, in the conservative blogosphere, are not going to stop talking about it until you stop ignoring it. You can get on board now, or you can be dragged kicking and screaming–again. The choice is yours.

It is interesting what was missed here. This incident, which happened in 2008, was investigated, as it was occurring, by the Philadelphia Police department who determined on the scene that no laws were being broken. They also ascertained that one of the individuals was a certified "Poll Watched" assigned to that polling station. The other individual was an associate/friend. The PHL police requested that individual leave the area and he complied. Whatever, he had in his hand was not considered a weapon by the police at the scene. Subsequently the "Neocon" press blew this entire incident out of proportion and some individual, in the DOJ, whose intelligence or agenda is suspect elected to bring a "Civil Suit", as no probable cause existed for a criminal action, against the parties. It was reported that the DOJ prevailed. The report failed to mention that they prevailed only because the Defendents did not appear and the DOJ got a summary judgement. The judge found for the plaintiff DOJ and in keeping with the severity of the offence awarded the plaintiff no damages. Cooler heads in the DOJ prevailed and they dropped the case. THAT IS THE REAL DEAL!
ROFLMAO. Good one. Where do you do your comedy act???
The Minority Report Blog » The MSM Blackout of the Black Panther Scandal vs. Children with Fingers in their Ears I'm impressed, I need to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a blog that's each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the problem is something that not sufficient people are talking intelligently about. I'm very completely satisfied that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something referring to this. Regards, Indonesia Furniture Manufacturers

The unanimous House of Lords judgment in the case of Co-operative Insurance Society Limited v Argyll Stores (Holdings) has steered the law of specific performance back onto its settled course after the Court of Appeal's venture into previously uncharted waters.
The House of Lords has now confirmed that specific performance will not be granted to enforce a keep open covenant or any other obligation to carry on a business.
The possibility remains that in cases involving "gross breach of personal faith" or blackmail, an order might be granted, where the needs of justice overrode all other considerations.
Their Lordships have made clear their approval of settled principles which do not have to be re-examined in every case, but which the courts will apply in all but exceptional circumstances.
A litigator's advice to his client can again be based on the usual English practice, where specific performance is an exceptional remedy. A party bound by a contract can now make his choice about performance or non-performance in the knowledge that his non-performance will not lead to an order for specific performance.
The non-performer will be liable for damages, but their calculation and proof are major problems for the party entitled to the benefit of the covenant, who is obliged to justify every allegation of loss.
It is questionable whether that party's "expectations of performance" are satisfied by an award of common law damages alone.
In the Court of Appeal, Lord Justice Millett, while dissenting from the majority, displayed some sympathy for the plight of the covenantee when he hinted that a proper approach might be to award damages on what has wrongly been called the "restitutionary" principle. This would permit the covenantee to argue for the loss of the benefit of future performance to be valued and awarded as damages, in a similar manner to the calculations of damages in cases where restrictive covenants have been breached or rights of light infringed.
The Co-op case itself will not be the subject of further litigation as the tenant managed to assign its store shortly after the Court of Appeal decision.
However, questions about calculation of damages remain.

Amin (3:12 PM)
Sorry for the tardiness! Lets jump in!
Jim (Orlando)
Your Rob Hennigan, it's time for you to make the 4th pick....Exum, Smart and Vonleh are still on the board....Who would you pick and why ???...I'd take Vonleh, because I think he fits better and is less of a risk.
Amin (3:14 PM)
#Your.....I'm kidding! I'd go Exum probably first, I'm intrigued by the concept of he and Oladipo as an athletic interchangeable backcourt. Vonleh would be a close second, and Smart is distant third. I'm not high on him
Chubbard (Texas)
I'm a Lebron James fan but the heat play lazy basketball there's no hustle except for Lebron sometimes. D wade is trash watch how many plays he tqakes off during the game just standing on the court watching and watch how many lazy passes he makes that turn into turn overs his superstar days are over. What a selfish team.
Amin (3:15 PM)
I don't think you've watched much Miami basketball
Dan (Philadelphia)
It seems as though the Sixers could reasonably have Wiggins drop to them at 3? If so, is it worth that extra reassurance to give up Thad Young? Wouldn't trading him and 10 for a top 7 pick make more sense?
Amin (3:24 PM)
I think trading Young will be an option for them regardless who they draft at 3. Question is, are there any takers?
big boy (la)
Any knowledge on Zach LeVine? Not sure if it's because of UCLA, but could he be another Russell Westbrook? I think when Westbrook was drafted most were surprised at how high he went. Could it happen again?
Amin (3:25 PM)
That's pretty much all they have in common: UCLA products who were late risers. Games are not similar. But I agree, I think LaVine will go higher than where he's been projected by many
Ed (Queens Village)
Lakers or Cavs will be next team to name a head coach?
Amin (3:25 PM)
Cavs. I think the Lakers are having a hard time finding someone willing to be a sacrificial lamb
Julius (Kentucky)
Amin, how much do you think my stock has been hurt by having a "screw loose"? Think I slip to Philly at 10?
Amin (3:26 PM)
Julius, having multiple foot injuries is not the most reassuring look, but I'd argue that your stock was dropping before news of this ijury
Justin (Miami, FL)
After reading all the speculation about Melo going to Miami, I do not think it is realistic for Bosh, Melo, and Wade to take the kind of pay cut it will require. However, Lebron makes so much off the court that I feel a pay cut would be no issue for him. Along those lines, would this scenario work: Lebron opts out, Heat retain his bird rights, and he signs a 1 year deal at the minimum so the other 3 players would split the $50M-$55M in cap space. After that 1 year, the Heat can give Lebron a max deal since they never lost him bird rights. Thoughts?
Amin (3:28 PM)
Justin, I wrote about this today on insider. Basically, because of cap holds, the only way Miami can realize that cap space is if they renounce his Bird rights. Obviously then giving him the max would then eat that cap space.
mike (ny)
If the NBA didn't have salary cap like baseball how much would lebron make a year? 50m or more?
Amin (3:29 PM)
It's not the salary cap that prevents LeBron from making true market value, it's the individual maximum salary limits.I think he'd make between $30 and $40 million
Drom John (Macon, GA)
Instead of Carmelo Anthony, would not Bledsoe or Lowry be better targets as an upgrade on Chalmers?
Amin (3:30 PM)
Perhaps (especially for Bledsoe), but I think it's harder to ask everyone to take a huge paycut to sign one of those guys than to sign Melo
In general, do teams have approximately the same grades on members of each draft class? Do you recall any draft picks that made your team's war room just scratch your heads, not from a fit standpoint but just an overall talent standpoint?
Amin (3:30 PM)
Happens all the time. Two words; Hasheem Thabeet.
Zack (LA)
A lot of writers are saying Phoenix can offer up Bledsoe and their 3 picks for Love. I was under the assumption that you can't trade a player that is going to be a free agent (unless it was a sign and trade) in which would have to be after July 1, which is way after the draft? Is there something that i'm missing, or can they trade Bledsoe now?
Amin (3:32 PM)
You are correct, Zach, the Suns cannot offer Bledsoe as he is a restricted free agent. One specific scenario that sorta would fit those parameters would be if they sign-and-trade him to Minnesota and then draft the three picks for Minnesota and send their rights as well. Of course, that's assuming Bledsoe would want to go to Minnesota (highly unlikely).
mike (vegas)
Mj and Kobe 11-2 in finals seriesLebron soon to be 2-3 and lucky he's not 1-4.Maybe Lebron is more Wilt or Baylor than Kobe or MJ. Superstar yes, superstar and winner, still ?able
Amin (3:33 PM)
Do you want him on your team? If the answer is yes, slap yourself for writing that statement.
Brian (Bay Area)
If K-Love doesn't get traded until after the 2015 season, how likely would a sign n' trade be compared to him just leaving (without Wolves getting anything in return)?
Amin (3:34 PM)
Only way Minny would get something in return in a sign and trade of Love is if he wants to go to a team that doesnt have cap space. If he goes to a team w/ space, there's no incentive for them to do a sign and trade. Kinda like what happened to Dwight going to Houston: the Rockets could sign him outright, so why engage in a sign and trade?
Ben (Chicago)
When I look at lists of unemployed former coaches, I see the names of several coaches proven to be pretty good - Mark Jackson, Karl, JVG, Hollins - yet teams still persist in hiring unproven coaches and retreads who haven't fared well at prior stops (and I mean that they are not thought to be good coaches while employed, not that the team is bad; this isn't a definite indication that a coach is bad, but not a good sign). Clearly, each of these skilled ex-coaches carries more baggage (and likely higher salaries) than hiring a new coach, but why do teams take the risky route with a new guy like Fisher or a retread like Rambis rather than go the safe way? The odds one of them is a good coach is so much lower than with the other route, and it's not like the old successful coaches are widely disliked, as far as I know.
Amin (3:37 PM)
First, I'd argue Jeff isnt unemployed; I havent heard of him interviewing for a job in years. Then, I'd agree with your point that the carousel is more expensive, and often brings with it the scars of past stops. But in the case of New York, it was clear that they wanted someone with the intimate knowledge of the triangle offense; none of those established coaches offered that.
Cameron (Miami)
Instant Lottery Fix! All teams that miss the playoffs get EQUAL number of ping pong balls. No incentive to suck... problem solved right?
Amin (3:38 PM)
Except....you'd get some interesting action at the 8 seeds of each playoff picture. But yes, I think it would be a step in right direction
Dan (Fresno)
Your thoughts on Rashad McCants and the UNC Scandal?
Amin (3:39 PM)
I'm shocked that people are shocked
Amin, You are making the best points in the "big 4" speculation - I especially agree with your argument on how the max contract is the major cause. What bugs me about this talk is the competition aspect. Where I play pickup games it's an unwritten rule - you never stack a team - it doesn't prove anything and victory would be shallow. Doesn't that unwritten rule exist in the Association?
Amin (3:40 PM)
JK, I think the cardinal sin you are committing is comparing your pickup games (and talent pool of pickup games) to the NBA. Even a stacked team in the NBA faces a tough path to a championship; Miami's playoff runs have all had their moments of extreme doubt, and I doubt adding Melo would eliminate that.
Kelly (Denver)
If Melo joins the Heat and Love joins let's say Houston... the NBA would have 4 to 5 teams with 15 all stars on them. How do teams like the Bucks, Sactown, PHX expect to compete with that?
Amin (3:42 PM)
By running their teams more efficiently, in smarter fashion and building teams that can compete. You point to Melo and Love going to those places as a bad thing, but you ignore how mismanaged those three franchises have been in last 5 years?
Donkey Kong (The jungle)
Do you think Melo could even survive the pressure cooker that is life as a member of the Miami Heat?
Amin (3:43 PM)
Yes because he's coming from a town where the media is out to get you to a town where the media gives affectionate, one word nicknames to guys like Chalmers and Haslem
Bob (Seattle)
I know 'Melo at $13M is a steal, but if the Big 3 are okay with those discounts, are there smarter ways to spend the hypothetical $20M to get their minutes down?
Amin (3:44 PM)
As Ethan Strauss likes to point out, they could wait a year, do the same thing and go after Marc Gasol
Mark (Halifax)
What is the one song that the various arenas play that you wish would never be played again? Do you go with the dreadful but recent Timber? Or do you go with an older song?
Amin (3:44 PM)
Timber by far
Drew (New York)
I see so many players in the NBA with the god given tools to be great but they end up just average. Do you feel there are some guys in the league who didn't push themselves enough.
Amin (3:45 PM)
Not really. It does happen, but for many NBA players, they arent good enough to change their fortunes. For about 90% of the league, maximizing your potential is all about being in the right place and being used the right way. Look at a guy like Danny Green: can we really say he didnt work hard enough in Cleveland but miraculously changed when he got to San Antonio?
Chief Triangle (Teepee)
If the Spurs blow this (always a possibility), how much of a hit does Pop's legacy take. He already has one asterisk from 1999*.
Amin (3:45 PM)
Sorry Phil, I think Pop's place in history is as secure as yours
Dan (LA)
Amin, isn't a more likely scenario than a Big 4 the maintenance of a Big 3 with Melo replacing either Lebron or Bosh? In that scenario who's more likely to go and why?
Amin (3:46 PM)
If anything, he'd be groomed to replace Wade
Robert (Bala Cynwyd, PA)
Can you possibly explain what Pat Riley has ever done as a GM to cause you to be so in love with him? He had nothing to do with getting the Big 3 to Miami. The players decided on that. And if it becomes the Big 4, it would be because the players want to do it. Miami has been a place where role players should want to go, and the best Riley can do is Chalmers? Riley has been horrible at getting a supporting cast. Seriously, can you name one great GM move he ever made? And Greg Oden doesn't count.
Amin (3:47 PM)
I don't like insulting people who ask me questions respectfully, but you're an idiot if you truly believe this.
Tampa Red (Statesboro )
Are the Lakers just "being patient" during this coaching search or are they one step away from interviewing complete strangers off the street for the job?
Amin (3:47 PM)
I think they're being patient. It's not an easy job to hire for: caretake Kobe's last two years, with no roster and a tough Western conference
Sean (Utah)
Why aren't you high on Smart?
Amin (3:50 PM)
Wrote about it in my scouting 360 profile with Chad Ford and Kevin Pelton. I think his main advantage has been his size/strength and I'm not sure that carries over to the NBA. He's not especially quick, explosive, or skilled. He can't shoot, and he's not a natural PG. I think he will make a solid pro because he's a good kid by all accounts and hard worker. But not top 10 talent to me
Kris G (Indy)
Regardless if Love is traded, should the T-wolves be looking to move Pek with Dieng quickly becoming a more complimentary defensive presence at the 5?
Amin (3:50 PM)
I'd want to move him, but I;m not sure there will be many takers for the $44 some odd million remaining on his deal
mike (Miami)
Amin, can you talk to some sense into these people. 4 superstars aren't going to take half of what they would normally be making to play on the same team. LBJ, Wade and Bosh all made next to no money sacrifices on their last deals, and wont this time. Come on.
Amin (3:51 PM)
I dont think any of us can claim to know what they will or wont do. My piece today outlined what they CAN do....
Rick (TX)
RE: Carmelo joining the Heat and presumably all four taking a pay cut ... what would the NBA players union have to say about that?
Amin (3:52 PM)
Now that's an interesting question; in baseball, they'd frown on that because they are depressing market values. But since the NBA has individual salary maximums, the market value for really good players is already set, and its not like anyone will tell Bledsoe or Monroe they aren't worth max because Melo and LBJ took less
Josh (Los Angeles)
Given the cap situation going forward (Dragic up for a new contract next year) and ceiling of the current team, could you seen the Suns signing and trading Eric Bledsoe to the Lakers for the 7th pick if someone like Vonleh or Exum were available?
Amin (3:53 PM)
If Bledsoe wants to go to LA, he doesnt need to engage in a sign and trade. He can just go as a free agent, since LA has a ton of cap space to sign him outright.
Matthew (Virginia)
It seems like the only team to really challenge the Spurs so far are the MAVS. Do you think it's because Carlise and Dirk are some of the best in the game or something else? Thanks!
Amin (3:54 PM)
I think Miami's done a pretty good job also. If Ibaka were healthy the whole time, maybe that WCF turns out differently.
If the Spurs win, how do you pick a MVP based on what we've seen so far?
Amin (3:55 PM)
Tim Duncan has been magnificent, regardless of his age.
Alagie M (New York)
Tom is 0-1 against Bobby Ramos. How does he get back in the series?
Amin (3:55 PM)
I'd like to think today's THTV Live was the beginning of the new Tom
Greg (LA)
Do you see the LAK getting a good veteran for the 6th (Afflalo?, Sanders?) or it takes more?
Amin (3:56 PM)
If you trade the 6th pick for one of those guys, you really haven't done your homework vis a vis the draft
Hugo (VA)
Do you think the heat will win tonight?
Amin (3:57 PM)
Michael (Chicago)
Teams used to target 1st time head coaches as a way to save money and hopefully find a hidden-gem. Now the market is higher for the unknown than the known, how did this trend start?
Amin (3:58 PM)
How all trends start: someone wanted something bad enough they decided they'll pay anything for it.
Rick (TX)
How much luck would you say is involved in getting to the finals/winning a championship? I'm a Spurs fan, so I'll use them as an example - one could easily make the argument that the Spurs were Derek Fisher's 0.4 shot in 2004 and Manu's foul on Dirk in 2006 from getting to 5 finals in a row. On the flip side, if Kerr doesn't go crazy against Dallas in 2003 or if Horry doesn't go crazy in Detroit in 2005, maybe the Spurs only win in 1999 and 2007. Or maybe they tear down the team before 2007... There's a whole lot of luck in there, right?
Amin (3:59 PM)
Everyone who is a part of an NBA team knows luck is everything. You pointed out famous examples for San Antonio, but the truth is you can do the same thing for every champ; luck plays an incredible role
Hugo (VA)
Was that just an Anomoly of a game 75% first half shooting? Or is San Antonio figured out how to beat the heat..
Amin (4:01 PM)
Yes Hugo, San Antonio has unlocked the secret to shooting 75% against Miami. Except they forgot the secret in the second half
Dallas (Chicago)
Why can't Wade opt in; Haslem opt in; Bosh and James sign 1-year deals at 10; and then Anthony signs max deal. My assumption being that Bird rights would stay for James and Bosh then the next year deal with all 3 with Anthony already set
Amin (4:02 PM)
A little something called "cap holds"; i explained it in today's piece I wrote for Insider
Michael (Chicago)
Have you seen the Game of Zones videos?
Amin (4:03 PM)
I have. Very funny!
Joe (Toronto, Canada)
Do you think the Spurs will come out aggressive tonight or they are happy with a split in Miami and save themselves for a game 5?
Amin (4:03 PM)
They'll be aggressive but I think Miami will be more desperate
Mike (Chicago)
Why no chatter of Bledsoe to Cleveland? Putting an elite defender next to Kyrie would make a huge difference, can just hide him on the weakest guard. And hes a huge upgrade over Waiters obviously.
Amin (4:04 PM)
I mean, you're assuming he wants to go to Cleveland!
Bunny (Colorado)
Whats going on with Kenneth Faried's contract? I'm hearing he plans on becoming a star in this league. Do you think thats possible?
Amin (4:04 PM)
I plan on winning Powerball this week. Do you think thats possible?
chad (mpls)
i think Justin from Miami was suggesting all 3 players opt-out, then LeBron signs first removing his cap hold and placing a minimum salary. Then the other 3 would sign with the remaining space (probably Wade/Bosh first). In such a scenario, could LBJ resign in 2015 for the max?
Amin (4:05 PM)
They'd be maxed out the following year and LBJ wouldn't have Bird rights, so he cant sign for max.
Davis (Boston)
your thoughts on klinsmann saying American teams overpay for what they did in the past?
Amin (4:06 PM)
He's right; see the Lakers
Geir (Oslo)
Hi Amin, props for good work.Trade technicality q (not who says no!!).MEM owes a future 1st round pick to CLE with complicated protections, due in 2015 and running to 2019 depending on where they land in the draft (various protections '15-'18, unprotected in '19).People say because of the Stepien rule they cannot trade a 1st rd pick until 2021. This is true in one sense, they cannot trade a 1st rd pick until '21 without attaching complicated conditions. But, is it not also true that they can trade a pick with the condition that it will be conveyed 2 years after the CLE pick has been conveyed, which could theoretically be 2017 and quite likely 2019, i.e. well before 2021? Although they cannot guarantee it will be conveyed until '21, saying they cannot trade a pick before that year is partly true and partly misleading, right?
Amin (4:08 PM)
If you want to send a first round pick somewhere when you owe a protected first, you word it so that you send the pick in "first allowable draft", which is legalese for "as soon as the two year wait is fulfilled after you send the first pick"

As a bulls fan, I have no optimism for next season whatsoever, considering I don't see how the bulls can land melo or love.So please, I'm asking you if you can give chicago fans any glimpse of hope regarding the bulls next season.
Amin (4:10 PM)
If Rose is healthy, Gibson/Butler continue to grow, Mirotic comes over and they can draft someone who can help, Bulls should be 2nd or 3rd best team in East

Given Carmelo's age and stated goal of winning a championship, where do you predict he will be playing next year.

Amin, with Flip taking almost total control of the Flipperwolves, supposedly against Taylor's wishes, and the Donald on his way out of all our lives (I know, still fraught with ifs), and the KLove divorce playing out in widescreen HD...Has Taylor climbed the heights to become "our" league's undisputed lousiest owner, and his Flipperwolves the most dysfunctional franchise? Or is it simply out in the open now, no longer the knowledge only of insiders?

Paris, May 11 : The world's largest steel group ArcelorMittal has said that it has finalised the 810 million dollars sale of a plant in the United States to Russian Steelmaker Severstal.
It was ordered to dispose of the Sparrows Point plant in Baltimore, Maryland, by US authorities as a condition for their clearance of Mittal Steel's acquisition of Arcelor last year.
A deal to sell Sparrows Point to US companies Esmark and Whelling-Pittsburgh failed at the end of last year when financing fell through.
ArcelorMittal has lodged a complaint with the New York state Supreme Court, seeking more than 540 million dollars in compensation over an August 2007 agreement to sell for 1.35 billion dollars.

Saitama-based William Malel (Team Honda) gave defending Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah (Great Britain) a run for it in Saturday's Prefontaine Classic men's 10000 m, kicking over the last 250 or so meters before Farah caught him in the final 50 m. Malel finished less than a second behind Farah in 26:54.66, a new PB that, given the injured status of Bedan Karoki (Team DeNA), surely puts Malel into consideration for the Rio team. Interestingly enough, Ibrahim Jeilan (Ethiopia), who won the 2011 Daegu World Championships 10000 m over Farah with a mighty kick while running for the Honda team, was close behind in a new PB of 26:58.75 for 5th.
Japan-based Kenyans Leonard Barsoton (Team Nissin Shokuhin) and James Mwangi (Team NTN) took 12th and 13th, both in the 27:30 range. Japan's Suguru Osako (Nike Oregon Project) wasn't up to the night's task, losing touch with the leaders after the first 1000 m and dropping out early in the second half. One of 11 Japanese men to hold the Rio qualifying standard in the 10000 m, Osako will need to turn it around in time for next month's National Championships in order to make the Rio team.

I Wish I Did
Sometimes, I think the title of the poem should come after the poem itself. But that's just me. Please comment! I love to hear people's opinions, even if they think my work sucks :] thank you
He remembers my feet
But does he remember
Kissing them?
Covering them up
In the middle of the night?
Does he still have
The letters I wrote
The pictures I drew
The videos of me,
Telling him how much
I love him?
Does he think about
All the times we made love?
The scary movies
The secret kisses
Sleeping in each other's arms?
Now, when he...
Kisses her...
Does he think,
Like I do,
That it's wrong?
That something is
But I guess I'll never know.

TravelPod Member ReviewsNew Court View Hotel Masindi
New Court View Hotel has been owned by Sallie Wareing since she bought it in 2002. Ms Wareing had worked with VSO after retiring as a headteacher in 1997. The hotel is a budget hotel - nothing too expensive - but it has remarkably extensive range of dishes on the menu.
The hotel is often used by travellers to Murchison Falls, but its real quality is that it is a centre for many local NGO's and aid workers. Ms Wareing is a mine of information about local and national issues, and if she cannot fix your arrangements for travel (or anything else!) nobody can. There is very much a family atmosphere about the hotel.

Safaris are everything I ever dreamed they would be. This was a water safari and it was amazing. I'm saying that and I don't even like boats and hippos can be creepy. So that means it had to be pretty great if I still think it was that great. We spent the whole day adventuring. Early in the morning we saw elephants.

Animals are really cool and I like to see them but I have never seen so many animals in such a short period of time. There were herds and herds of animals left and right. It was incredible!

Hey, it's good to get some honest information, and you can find it here.
The deal is that there are special interests, like front groups, which have spent a lot of money deceiving the public, and it's time for people of good will to get accurate information.

[[caption-width-right:302:How come when ''he'' makes up imaginary friends it's cool, but when ''I'' do it...]]
->''"When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there."''
James Maury "Jim" Henson (September 24, 1936 -- May 16, 1990) was one of the great puppeteers in history, and used that art to reach heights of popular success and artistic acclaim undreamed of by anyone before.
In 1955, WRC-TV, a UsefulNotes/WashingtonDC television station, began airing a short five minute puppet show named ''Series/SamAndFriends''. In addition to the manic title character and a skull-like omnivorous creature named Yorick, it featured a lizard like creature made from an old green sweater and a pair of ping pong balls named Kermit. This was the humble beginning for Kermit, who would eventually be refined in his design into a frog with a collar.
Kermit, Sam and the other primitive creations of this show were the first [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppets]], and ''Sam and Friends'', as well as the concurrently produced commercials for Wilkins coffee, both proved to be smash local hits, which set a new standard for puppetry. Henson's techniques of setting the camera's point of view right at puppet level rather than using a traditional puppet show stage, and using a TV monitor so a puppeteer could see his own performance, were the first in a series of innovations he and the team of talented men and women who came to work for him made in the field. Even then, Henson initially considered puppets simply as a means of getting on TV with dreams of moving on to other TV careers like art direction. However, a vacation in Europe exposed him to a whole new world of puppetry as a deeply respected artform and Henson realized he found his calling after all.
When ''Sam and Friends'' ended, Henson moved on to producing commercials for national advertising campaigns. Meanwhile, The Muppets became popular features on variety shows, once even taking over ''Series/TheEdSullivanShow'' for a Christmas special, as well as Jim's character Rowlf the Dog being a regular on the ''Jimmy Dean Show''. Henson even experimented with non-puppet films such as the surreal short, ''Film/TimePiece'' which was nominated for a Live Action Short Oscar. However, it wasn't until Joan Ganz Cooney and a show [[Series/SesameStreet brought to you by the letters]] [[Creator/{{PBS}} "P", "B" and "S"]] came into the picture that the Muppets would become an institution.
''Series/SesameStreet'' launched [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters dozens of characters]] who are now a part of the worldwide consciousness, including Jim's own characters Ernie and Guy Smiley. The program would also solidify the core performers he'd work with for years to come. Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Caroll Spinney, Fran Brill, and later David Goelz, Steve Whitmire and Kevin Clash all performed characters too numerous to mention here that are just as memorable as Henson's own. In fact, Henson and Oz, whether performing Bert and Ernie, or Kermit and Fozzie Bear, or Kermit and Miss Piggy, or the Swedish Chef (Henson did the voice and Oz did the hands) rank as one of the most prolific comedy duos in television history, and barely ever appeared on screen as themselves. Unfortunately, the success of ''Sesame Street'' caused a lot of people to see the Muppets as strictly "kid's stuff," a notion that Henson worked to dispel (with varying degrees of success) for the rest of his life.
In the mid-1970s, after both a season performing new characters on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' and a couple specials that would serve as pilots, ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' launched on first run syndication. Like the early variety show appearances, the Muppets used {{Slapstick}} so over the top it's a wonder MoralGuardians of the time didn't have a heart attack from all the explosions, Muppets eating smaller Muppets, and general mayhem surrounding the Muppet Theatre. Henson, in addition to Kermit and Rowlf, performed characters ranging from trippy keyboardist Dr. Teeth to the masculine and very dense Link Hogthrob. He also performed Waldorf to Richard Hunt's Statler, giving the theatre its [[JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf heckling, cackling and long suffering]] GreekChorus.
A couple years later, Henson took a major gamble, bringing his characters to the movie theatres with the aptly named ''Film/TheMuppetMovie''. Much like WaltDisney with ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', Jim knew he had to top anything his team had put out to that date. Complex sequences, ranging from Kermit riding a bicycle to the Electric Mayhem rocking an old church to its rafters, made the Muppets believable in a more or less undiluted real world setting. The movie was a critical and commercial success, paving the way for ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'' and ''Film/TheMuppetsTakeManhattan''.
Later Henson-helmed projects were met with more sporadic success. ''Series/FraggleRock'' was one of the earlier successes in its initial run on {{Creator/HBO}}. While the show was produced by him, neither Henson nor Frank Oz took on regular recurring roles in it, instead opting for Jerry Nelson, Steve Whitmire and others to take the lead. Two big-screen efforts into non-Muppet fantasy arrived in TheEighties -- ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'' was a minor success, but its spiritual successor ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' was mostly considered a disappointment in terms of its financial record. (Both films went on to be VindicatedByCable.) ''Series/TheJimHensonHour'', which would feature segments from another series, ''Series/TheStoryteller'', only lasted for about half a season.
In the meantime, Henson's Creature Shop had become a major font for further advancing puppetry. Building on full body characters like the Gorgs from ''Fraggle Rock'', the Creature Shop was responsible for the title characters of [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 the 1990 movie version]] of ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', and its first sequel ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze''. As well, the Shop also did forays into CG animation, namely Waldo, a gusty experimentation of a manually-controlled virtual 3D character who appeared in both ''Series/TheJimHensonHour'' and ''Ride/MuppetVision3D'' which runs at Ride/DisneyThemeParks to this day.
Jim Henson died of a severe and sudden strep throat infection on May 16, 1990.[[note]]The same day as Creator/SammyDavisJr[[/note]] At the time, he was negotiating with Creator/{{Disney}} to turn over the rights to his characters so that he could focus on production and performing, and did not wish to visit the hospital (his wife would later state that the refusal was likely due to his desire not to be a bother to people). He was only 53 years old. In a sense, this was the EndOfAnAge for the Muppets.
While ''Sesame Street'' still runs strongly, as it was not affected by the sales and resales of The Jim Henson Company and its properties that persisted into the TurnOfTheMillennium, the ''Muppet Show'' cast had a spottier record via all the turmoil. ''Series/MuppetsTonight'', which set to update the concept of ''The Muppet Show'' for the 1990s by introducing new characters, a new host, a new setting, and new skits, only lasted a few seasons before falling into obscurity. New film productions were largely overlooked. Other productions by the Jim Henson Company and its performers, ranging from ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'' and ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' to ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/DogCity'', more successfully continued Henson's legacy with new characters for new generations of fans.
Disney has owned ''The Muppet Show'' and its characters since 2004. [[Film/TheMuppets The 2011 Muppet film]] set out to keep the original cast of ''The Muppet Show'' fresh without changing them as characters, and proved successful enough to warrant [[Film/MuppetsMostWanted a sequel]] in 2014. (A few photos of Jim Henson are visible in the film, including [[TearJerker a large one of him and Kermit in Kermit's office.]]) Otherwise, the "classic" Muppets have been making fewer and shorter appearances in other mediums, such as a Website/YouTube channel of original skits. The Henson Company in New York City produces mainly CG series, internet material, and the puppets for ''Sesame Street'', the representative characters now owned by Sesame Workshop. And then in 2015, [[Series/TheMuppets they came back to TV once again.]]
[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSE1Mtnnm4Y&feature=related His funeral was pretty awesome]]. The downside was that it was never televised.
Also well worth checking out is Brian Jay Jones' biography of him, the result of unprecedented access to Henson's family and co-workers.
!!Tropes Related to Jim Henson Include:
* AuthorAvatar: Those who knew him say that Jim was a lot like Rowlf the Dog -- except he wasn't as good a pianist.
** Of course, there was also Kermit -- the sanest member and leader of a group of crazy performers. Though unlike Kermit, Henson was far less likely to complain or criticize -- apparently only saying "Hmm" if he disliked something. The harshest language he was ever heard uttering was an emphatic and heartfelt "Oh, for ''heaven's'' sake!"
--->"He can say things I hold back."
** And then there's Ernie and Bert, which were basically this for both Jim Henson and Frank Oz. Many have said that Ernie and Bert are very much like Jim and Frank, in that Jim had a little bit of a mischevious streak, and especially loved to pester Frank, meanwhile Frank was rather uptight. Jim also confessed that he and Frank were so comfortable with Ernie and Bert, that most of the time, they would ad-lib many of the Ernie and Bert inserts -- keeping the original educational goal and specific gag of the bit in mind, but forgoing the rest of the script otherwise. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01VYKfOZA4o One insert in particular]], featuring Bert showing off his new aquarium of goldfish to Ernie, was ''completely'' improvised by Jim and Frank from start to finish.
* BadassBeard: He grew it to hide the scars from a particularly bad case of acne, which his Christian Scientist mother refused to let him use medicine on.
* BeardOfDirectors
* DarkerAndEdgier: While ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' did have some dark moments, ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' and ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'' are by far the darkest films involving puppets he's done, the former for SurrealHorror and the latter for a rather alien and cruel world.
* DownerEnding: Henson's tragic death at the age of 53 in 1990.
* AFatherToHisMen: Many who have worked for him have said that Jim never seemed like a boss or an employer, but more like a father. Jim himself absolutely hated confrontations of any kind, he could never fire anybody (with the one exception of producer Diana Birkenfield due to creative differences), and producer David Lazer often reprimanded Jim for never disciplining his colleagues when he should have... in fact, it often fell on Lazer to punish someone for stepping out line, such as an occasion where Richard Hunt ended up going on record for publicly bad-mouthing a recent ''[[Series/TheMuppetShow Muppet Show]]'' guest star -- Lazer chewed Hunt out for his actions (driving Hunt to tears), where afterwards, all Jim could do was hug and console him.
* FirstNameBasis: He was (and still is) almost always "Jim", even in his autobiography. Which leads to sentences referring to "Nelson, Oz, Goelz and Jim".
* FragileFlower: As noted above, Jim strongly disliked, and avoided any kind of confrontation as much as he could -- in fact, whenever he would end up being dragged into some kind of heated arguement, or dispute, he might as well have been a turtle retreating inside his shell, as his way of handling the situation would be to just sit there and be quiet.
* FriendToAllChildren:
** Despite disliking being typecast as a children's entertainer, he was the man who made the single best and most successful children's show what it is. Check out those letters the Muppets read at the end of ''The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson''. That says it all. He had five children of his own, as well.
** Interestingly enough, by the time TheEighties rolled around, he seemed to shift gears and change his attitude, as such, he actually began working on more and more projects specifically for children, with ''Series/FraggleRock'' being the first in a line of such projects.
* TheFunInFuneral: He personally requested that his funeral not be a dour occasion and demanded a dixieland jazz band play. Everyone had to wear ''colorful'' outfits, and everyone was assigned a butterfly puppet on a rod to play with as they watched. It's true there were sad moments -- but the whole thing crested when Kevin Clash, using his [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]] voice, broke out into the bawdy "Lydia the Tattooed Lady".
* GameBreakingInjury: In his last few months he began to suffer tremors in his hands, meaning he would have had to stop puppeteering soon if he'd lived.
* GrayEyes: Types 1 and 3.
* GreenAesop: He loved these, and they can be found all throughout his career. In fact, the very last ''Series/SesameStreet'' skit he performed before his death [[http://www.sesamestreet.org/videos#media/video_4493a236-2579-4f23-9f71-8ed08181dcb0 has such a message.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: The "Wilkins and Wontkins" commercials, in which Wontkins is brutally punished for saying he doesn't like Wilkins coffee, or has just never tried it, get even funnier when you find out Henson himself hated the taste of coffee and only ever drank it to be polite.
* {{Improv}}: Henson embodied his characters so fully that he could make up scenes with them entirely off-the-cuff, a particularly heartwarming example being [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYIRO97dhII this bit]] on ''Series/SesameStreet'' when a little girl spontaneously attempted to take the ABC song OffTheRails by [[CountingToPotato counting to Cookie Monster]]. Kermit's reaction, and the girl's, are totally unscripted and genuine. You can even hear him almost crack up while saying "You're just teasing me."
* IncrediblyLamePun: When he was announcing the winner for Best Animated Short in his first appearance as himself at the UsefulNotes/{{Academy Award}}s, he began to read in Kermit's voice, "So, the winner is...", cleared his throat, and said, "Had a frog in my throat, there" then immediately apologized and claimed, "I haven't used that line before!"
** As Kermit on ''Series/SesameStreet'', he mentioned the joke about having a man in his throat. (He didn't actually do the joke.)
* InsistentTerminology: Jim actually hated the word "Muppeteer" feeling that it sounded and felt too gimmicky, which is why he and his colleagues were always billed as "Muppet Performers" and never "Muppeteers". When Apple Computers printed out a list of well-known clients who used their products, Jim found his name on the list, saw his occupation listed as "Muppeteer", scratched it out, and scribbled above it "Muppet Performer".
* ItWillNeverCatchOn:
** He and the rest of the crew got a lot of this when ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' was being shopped around and when it first premiered. It happened again before ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'' was released.
** Henson himself took two decades of trying to get other kinds of work going before he finally accepted that the Muppets were what he would be known for.
* LooksLikeJesus
* NiceGuy: So nice that people found even the mildest of admonishments from him to be absolutely devastating.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Just before he died, he called in sick for the first time in his life. This naturally got a lot of the Muppet Performers worried.
* PrecisionFStrike: He typically avoided profanity and would simply say "Oh for heaven's sake!" when he got upset. Except for when a viewer of ''The Cube'' wrote a bizarre letter about the corpse of Marcus Aurelius belching at how bad it was. Henson wrote back just one line: "What the ''fuck'' are you talking about?"
** A milder example is a presentation he taped to pitch ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' to networks; the pitch was a brief showcase of the typical kind of mayhem the Muppets are known for, and when all is over with, Kermit enters frame, [[NoFourthWall looks to the camera]], and asks, "What the hell was ''that?!''"
* RefugeInAudacity: His first idea for ''The Muppet Show'''s title: "Sex and Violence." And yes, he did actually pitch it under that name, and even aired a special with it.
* {{Retirony}}: Inverted. Henson died just when he was ready to go back to being a full-time performer instead of running a production company (though he was not going back to performing his signature character; he had already tapped another Muppet Performer Steve Whitmire for that).
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Smack in the middle. Henson's work was almost always a source of joy, optimism and good old-fashioned entertainment, yet always had noticeable undertones of somberness. As mentioned under "RealitySubtext," this optimistic realism stemmed from seeing his bother die in a motorcycle accident when he was young.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'', ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' and ''Film/MirrorMask'' are DarkerAndEdgier than the Jim Henson Company's other productions.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Considering that he died suddenly and at a relatively young age (53), this also got bandied about after his death. One anonymous child was quoted as saying "God must have needed Muppets in heaven."
* TropeMaker: Henson was responsible for several leaps in the art of puppetry which changed the art forever, such as the obvious combination of the hand puppet and the rod puppet, the use of raised platform sets (which gave much more freedom for the puppeteers to go wild), to the use of radio-controlled animatronics. All of these and more paved the way for new puppeteers.
* UniversalAdaptorCast: [[WordOfGod Jim has said]] that he never really thought of the Muppet characters as characters, but rather, a troupe of actors that just happen to be puppets. This is especially true when you consider the Muppets have essentially done their own remakes of ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'', ''Literature/TreasureIsland'', ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'', various different fairy tales, among other stories in which they play the characters themselves.
* WorldBuilding:
** Both of his theatrical releases that stepped away from the Muppets had their own in-depth settings. These unique worlds were a combination of the genius of Henson and artist Creator/BrianFroud.
** Also, [[Series/FraggleRock Fraggle Rock]]'s complex ecosystem and magical underground world.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
We've been testing their gear for a month now and have been blown away by the quality and fit. We should have a review online this week. I'll keep you posted.
Sorry for the delay! Here is the review: thoni mara clothing
In short, they are definitely worth the money. The fabric really is brilliant, it doesnt fade, snag or smell and wicks incredibly well.
Personally I can't say whether or not the clothing makes a difference to your times but in terms of comfort they certainly make it a more enjoyable experience! If you are wearing a cotton t-shirt then the difference in comfort is huge. However, the clothing is snug fitting so if you prefer to wear loose tshirts then it may not be for you.
Glad you liked the review, always good to get feedback.
I live in Luxembourg and Germany is just 20 kms across the border. I think I'll go pick some of those up and test them.
What is the obsession with Germans that they can't wear or make normal shorts? It's always some form of tights.
Hi members,
I am André from Germany, saw the thread and thought maybe I can help you.
I just started wearing Thoni Mara myself and "Yes" I like tights.
The next step for me will be, bringing the brand to BeNeLux... Yes it's about business. So if your are interested and don't want to wait till thoni mara is coming to your favourite store in UK or whereever you can buy it here.
To be honest I am sorry but the shop is avaible only in four languages. Hope one of them fits you.
Thanks for giving it a try
Anyone know where the Thoni Mara UK site went? Seems not to work now and I really want to buy some of their clothes. Made in Germany, not China! heaven.
Hi All,
Looks like sportpursuit.com are stocking some Thoni Mara products:
I have to sign up just to look at them? No thanks.
Muttley, it's actually a good site if you do a lot of sports/outdoor activities. They have hundreds of brands clearing old stock down, sometimes at great prices, sometimes not. I'm subscribed to their newsletter and have bought a few things from them.

Less than half of Brazilians favor hosting World Cup, poll shows
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Less than half of Brazilians favor the nation's hosting of the World Cup in June, with a majority in the soccer-crazed nation believing that the tournament will do more harm than good, a poll showed on Tuesday.
Just 48 percent of Brazilians support hosting the event, down from 52 percent in February and dropping below 50 percent for the first time, a survey by Datafolha found, though the company said the difference was within its margin of error.
The approval rate has dropped from a high of 79 percent in November 2008, a year after Brazil was selected, amid cost overruns, deadly construction accidents and concern that delays in building stadiums and airports in 12 cities could embarrass the country on the international stage.
Indeed, the number of Brazilians opposed to hosting the 32-nation event is also rising, with 41 percent against it now, up from 38 percent in February and 10 percent in 2008, the survey by the local pollster showed.
The result is surprising for the soccer-loving nation that has won five World Cup titles, more than any other country. Brazil last hosted the tournament in 1950.
The event poses an increasing risk to President Dilma Rousseff, who is widely expected to be reelected in the general elections in October, as she may see support slump if the World Cup is not a success. She routinely assures Brazilians the tournament will be "the cup of cups."
Datafolha said 55 percent of those surveyed believe the games will bring more harm than benefit to the country, compared to 36 percent who believe the event will bring more benefit.
In a similar survey in June, in the midst of massive street protests calling for better transportation and less corruption, 44 percent said the games would bring more harm than benefit.
Pessimism over the World Cup has increased even as Brazilians have largely abandoned street protests. Continued...

3 Days in Savannah
Romantic Guide To Savannah
One Day In Savannah
They are not there anymore...last time I tried going there it was a different business, but when they were there I liked all of their dishes and they had this wonderful fried bread for dipping.
Actually at the beginning I was INCREDIBLY scared of the place, had no faith at all because definitely the place needs an URGENT update. The tables and chairs are very old and the place looks a little shady. But besides that I have no regrets on the food, as a matter of fact it was really good and I had...
The sushi was fresh and wonderful. They have a sake that is really tasty. We ordered a whole boat of sushi and had some cocktails, the price was good and so was the service
Good food but have had better. My expectations were probably too high since we had received so many positive recommendations. The issue is Savannah has many great restaurants such that you can easily lose perspective. That said, I would recommend dining there since the building has such a great history. and is worth the visit.
I've given this place many tries over the past few years (there just aren't sushi options on Broughton St). First of all, the sushi is just plain bad. Anyone who has had good sushi before would agree. The restaurant itself needs a MAJOR upgrade, it's shady, outdated, cheaply decorated, and could stand to be scrubbed a few times....it's actually too...
Wow what a place. Tucked away a local told us about it and I'm glad he did. Don't let out or inside appearnce fool you. This was the freshest Nigiri we have ever had and we've tried it in more than one country. When your in Savannah and want sushi this is the go to place for freshness and service....
It's a perfect place if you are looking for a decent meal and to not spend a lot of money, my boyfriend and I got 16 pieces of sushi and both got meals and the total was $25. Definitely worth trying!
Sakura is our Ace-in-the- Whole when preparing lunch/ dinner is not possible. You can't go wrong going there.,
Enjoyed their teriyaki chicken with rice and vegetables. Very tasty, healthy and generous lunch special with salad all for under $6! Nothing fancy but a great value.
Ok! My wife & I walked in & sat down cause it was one of the only places open on Christmas at noon time. Well we looked around & OMG....use a few dollars to clean up or upgrade. The seats were ripped and had no cushion left. The menus had seen better days....like 10 years ago. The placed smelled like...

"Those lovable animated bears explain what QE3, no jobs and inflation means to you! (Video)"
|The old hope and pray trade!
One would suppose that the definition for insanity could be invoked were the Fed to embark on another round of QE (doing the same thing time and time again while expecting a different outcome), but on the other hand they have no other ammunition left in the quiver.
They can of course do nothing which is their other option but either way there are pros, cons and unintended consequences.
The consequences of a zero interest rate policy!
Remember the adage that there is no free lunch!
The truth of the matter is that inflation in the U.S. remains a growing problem whether you choose to look at it ex-food and energy or include food and energy, savers reliant on interest income are being badly hurt with yields being kept as low as they are, the attempt by the Fed to push these same savers into risky assets like stocks can backfire (as we are seeing today) and if banks aren't lending and businesses aren't trying to borrow due to regulations and uncertainty it is all moot anyway!
Let the animated bears explain the situation to you clearly, concisely and so that anyone can understand which is unlike listening to any of the "experts" who try to tell you why any weakness represents a great buying opportunity in language that no one but they can understand!

Was great to have a few drinks and just take the fantastic views whilst knocking a few rum punches back
Pub in the middle of a beautiful harbour right next to a stunning white sandy beach lots of boats to look at.
Had a lovely meal and the staff are nice and friendly. Look forward to go back there when I return to Jersey
Its closed, its gone bust, it is a was, it never happened, in spite of its glorious location. No proper parking for a bistrop/pub and too big a place so always felt empty
Visited last week - owners gone - looks like new people have taken over Catherines Cafe old location in the dockyard as well as salty dogs spot - now called the Custard Apple!!
The owners are very personable and friendly like everyone on the island. Accidentally found this bar as we were walking around harbor across the bay. Took the little boat taxi to the bar for a drink and wished we could have stayed all day. 100% sure we will be back.
Never been to this bar before, we went over with a few people as part of a fund raising day on a sat afternoon,, had a great day my son who is 27 had a very good day, we watched england lose the rugby but enjoyed some great food and some nice ice cold beers, this is on my list...
Visited Salty Dogs for a Saturday lunch and loved it! As well as being a real party spot (I hear!) in the evening, it's a great place to get a good value lunch and enjoy one of the prettiest views on the island.
The food was excellent - between us we had a cannonball burger (which got a huge thumbs...
just spoke to one of the managers yesterday. he has listened to our complaints & is trying to make this place better. the service is FANTASTIC. the girls are great !!! but the food is SHOCKING. no other word for it. just dreadful. and we watched one night as the lady manager had a party for her friends, played drinking...
My husband and I had just spent the day at Rendezvous Bay (a nearby secluded beach with no amenities) and we were looking for bite to eat but didn't want to end our time in the sun. We remembered that we'd seen Salty Dogs in the Shipyard and it was right on the water. Perfect! We arrived and were able...

Fake Snow and Fast Skiers
Everyone's so fast. Shooting over the ridge from nowhere, skis landing perfectly parallel and out of sight again right away.
I know those ridges. They're called blind hills, if you're being technical. But approaching from above, it's a cliff. Just a flat line between snow and horizon, a sheet of paper so sharp and white you could cut yourself on the edge. All the ski trails lead over the edge, into the void, and your mind says, Okay, right over there, no worries, there's a hill on the other side, and your subconscious says, STOP! Oh my God, it's a cliff! Stop stop stop!
The cliff doesn't faze other skiers; they pop over the edge like they're shot from a gun. Pop-pop-pop. Or like soap squilping out of wet hands and down, swimming around the drain while you scramble in panic.

Most Canadians will be turning their clocks back later tonight but there's one town in B.C. that doesn't recognize daylight savings.
Time stands still in the small town of Creston in the Kootenay Region.
Mayor Ron Toyota says it can get pretty political among the five thousand residents that live there.
"There a third of the people that would like to be on Mountain Standard time, a third of the people that would like to be on Pacific Standard day light savings time, and there's a third of the people that just want to stay where we are at".
The area runs on Mountain Standard Time and always has.
"The thing you have to understand is that it's not our choice. The BC Government sets whether you are on daylight savings time or not".
There was a provincial referendum in the 70's.
Mayor Toyota says it was a narrow vote but people did say yes to participate in daylight savings.
He says he doesn't know why the change didn't happen.
It's not the only town that never sprang forward in the first place.
Same goes for almost all of Saskatchewan .
There's no change for three northwestern Ontario communities located in the Central Time Zone, the eastern reaches of Quebec's North Shore, and Southampton Island in Nunavut.

How to Beat Loose Poker Home Games
It would certainly behave to state that there is absolutely nothing even more delightful compared to a poker home video game, yet this isn't really purely real. Yes, you are guaranteed a satisfying evening, as the beverage will most likely stream, the night will certainly be high up on laughs and also you'll be playing your favored card video game. Exactly what could be far better? Well the evening will certainly be all the sweeter if you leave from the evening as the huge victor! You'll have even more loan in your pocket as well as even more notably maybe, you'll have that badge of honor of being the very best gamer among your good friends and also peers.
In this overview, I'll inform you precisely just how simple it is to beat these home games, where, if sincere, the ability degrees can be quite reduced. Numerous gamers at these games will certainly be entertainment gamers, probably also betting the very first time, so also a percentage of strong poker technique need to see you have a severe side.
The Opposition
Envision you're dipping into your typical home poker video game, encountering 5 various other gamers. Of these 5, a couple of the others could have a strong poker video game, yet it's a certainty that at the very least 3 of the gamers will certainly be entertainment gamers. It's additionally an excellent wager that these gamers have actually most likely seen a minimum of a little poker on the TELEVISION, where they routinely see the leading pros go into hands with inadequate beginning hands, just to strike the flop huge as well as remove a great sized pot. In the state of mind of these gamers, this is the charm of the video game, where there is absolutely nothing much better compared to defeating a gamer that is holding a set of Aces with their 4-5 off. These are the gamers you wish to target as they are primarily a license to print money!
So just how precisely do you beat these gamers? You play strong, limited, hostile poker. Unwind, relax as well as await those larger hands and after that play hard. When you obtain those big hands such as costs sets, Ace King as well as Ace Queen you'll wish to obtain as much loan in the pot as feasible pre-flop. If you was initially to act, you'll clearly wish to increase and also wish a looser gamer or more goes along for the trip. If a gamer has actually hopped in currently (this takes place a great deal), elevate it up on your own. The very best situation circumstance is if a gamer has actually currently elevated as well as you are holding among the largest hands. Just 3 wagered them hard sbobet. Presume just what? They will not be folding. First of all they seriously intend to see that flop and also second of all, lots of leisure gamers will certainly see folding in this scenario as revealing an absence of digestive tracts. Whatever, the factor, they'll be calling that 3 wager! In some especially loose games, where the wagering activity is insane, you could just push if a variety of gamers are associated with the hand currently– clearly the desire situation being if a gamer has actually pushed currently and also you're holding that substantial hand.
Yes, the nature of Texas Hold 'em suggests that sometimes you will certainly without a doubt obtain handed over. You have actually obtained your fifty percent of your challengers pile in pre-flop with your QQ as well as their 7-10 fit takes care of to strike 2 sets as well as you shed a huge pot. Yes, it's frustrating, however you'll understand over time that this win just urges this kind of play much more (your challenger will certainly assume they are Phil Ivey at this moment and also play also looser!).
That isn't really to claim that you can not play some speculative poker on your own. If there are a variety of limpers at the table, you need to absolutely be established extracting any kind of sets and also if you could see a flop inexpensively, those matched adapters can be extremely useful. The distinction being that you will not be placing a big percentage of your contribute the center to see these flops!
Don't worry regarding table picture excessive either. To start with, there is every possibility that your challengers will not be taking any kind of notification of your play, being as well associated with their very own hands. Even if your limited play has actually been observed, it could make various other gamers much more established to beat you with their bad hands!
Below's one last item of recommendations. Do not bluff!!! The factor you'll bluff at any kind of poker video game is to obtain one more gamer to fold up a much better hand sbobet casino. If gamers typically aren't folding, which in the house games they inevitably typically aren't, this is a method that is virtually particular to backfire. Stay with the limited hostile strategy as well as you'll be taking chips from the bluffers, not vice versa.
It would not be unkind to claim that you'll discover a few of the weakest poker of all when dipping into a home video game. Some gamers will certainly utilize alongside no method as well as a great, strong video game will certainly see you leaving with the spoils. Maintain it limited, make the most of those gamers that more than happy to toss their chips around and also you'll be the one grinning at the end of the night.

I've noticed a problem when I go to do a brutal kill when an opponent is stunned in Favor of the Gods 8 Person Team Battle. If I'm standing close to a treasure or alter, the brutal kill command is ovrided by the command to open a treasure or switch an alter. This should not be the case. A kill should always come first. Also, the controls in general are still glitchy. Sometimes a throw happens when R1 is pressed and other times he just stands there after launching someone. Great game though.
