A Dirty Pirate is a cocktail of spiced rum and root beer.
It contains two ounces of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum to 355ml of a "natural" form of root beer, containing real sarsaparilla, licorice root, anise, and vanilla (ideally a Smucker Quality Beverages product called "Real Brew" draft root beer), and is best enjoyed with ice in a frosted glass mug.
This combination first appeared in April 2006, and is ascribed to Canadian born Brad Ferringo while entertaining a theme party inspired by popular remakes of pirate tales.
The recipe was first published as a beta listing with one of the worlds best resources The Art of Drink ( www.theartofdrink.com ) in December 2007.

Chris Jessie is the stepson to University of Texas football coach Mack Brown, who achieved infamy among University of Texas football fans during the 2007 Holiday Bowl between the Longhorns and the Arizona State Sun Devils in San Diego, California.
While Texas was leading 21 - 0, Arizona State was driving the ball in the second quarter when quarterback Rudy Carpenter fumbled the ball. The football rolled towards the Texas sideline when Jessee stepped about a yard onto the football field and motioned towards the ball. The football was then picked up by a Texas player, resulting in an official Texas possession and return for yards.
The play was reviewed for 12 minutes. The officiating staff concluded that Jessee had touched the ball, resulting in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Texas. Arizona therefore retained possession of the football and scored a touchdown on the following play."
Jessee was visibly upset and looked embarrassed on national television while the play was under review. ESPN commentators noticed Jessee's chagrin and kept the cameras focused on Jessee throughout the quarter and went so far as to compare Jessee's gaffe to Steve Bartman's.

In today’s global economy, overseas expansion has become a crucial part of companies' growth strategies. To stay competitive, a company is compelled to look beyond its national shores to expand overseas and exploit attractive international business opportunities. To do so, a company needs to understand not only the diverse economic/business issues in the foreign markets, but also assess what those conditions would mean in terms of product adaptation/development, resource management, customer/partner management: an endless array of other considerations.
This is a challenge faced not only by smaller companies but also bigger and more established companies. In fact even MNCs are recognizing that they are not able to purely rely on their own internal resources to keep up with the speed and complexity of changes in the international marketplace.
Pervasive acceptance of new communication technologies has made the world a smaller place. The upside to this phenomenon is that the international business playing field has been more leveled for all companies, big or small. Companies are no longer inhibited by their size, to expand overseas and tap on lucrative global business opportunities.
It also means that international competitiveness has become a business imperative: a company cannot stay viable (even on one’s own backyard) if it does not think or act global.
To keep up and stay ahead of the competition, forward looking companies such as Procter & Gamble (P&G) are tapping on international resources (made possible with new internet trends and technologies) outside of its organisation to help fuel innovation and create viable products. P&G is a regular user/endorser of various internet mass collaboration initiatives such as InnoCentive, which allows companies to seek solutions from international resources. Through accessing such resources, P&G has been able to accelerate the development of its products.1
Government effort is also a crucial factor in helping companies to expand overseas. For example, the Singapore government has created a portal called the iadvisory to provide companies with free expert advice on overseas expansion.2
