My Blog's Season Finale, See You Soon or This Summer
hat's up everyone?
The 2011-12 Michigan basketball season will be remembered for so many things, some of which include winning the best conference in the country, traveling to the most prestigious tournament in the country -- the Maui Invitational, for the 24 wins and for the four great seniors.
Years from now when I call Zack (Novak) or Stu (Douglass) and talk about this year, we probably won't talk about any of those things. That is because the journey is way more important than the destination. The memories we will share are the laughs we had on the plane, some crazy idea Coach Alexander had, another memorable quote from Coach Jordan; it is everything that happens during the season that makes a team become a team.
We have traveled all across the country spending almost every day together for six months. The hardest part of the season ending is the knowing that this team will never play together again. In the blink of an eye, when the horn went off and zeroes were on the clock, our season was over. That is what makes sports so special; anything can happen at any time and nothing prepares you for the end!
When I decided to come play for Coach Beilein, he asked me why I wanted to be part of this team. I could have received a scholarship to other schools, instead I chose Michigan! I told him I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. There is something mythical about being a part of Michigan. There is something special about being a part of a team, where you give everything you have for the greater good of your teammates. It might not result in wins all the time, but more importantly, it will result in lifelong friendships.

Compare Suzuki Garages and Specialists in Erskine with Who Can Fix My Car.

Everything was fine, would use again
This garage was excellent,the job was done on time and the customer service was excellent to.a good garage is hard to find but this one is worth recommending, 10/10
Did a great job, thank you!
Happy.good price and quick service
Fantastic service and couldn't be more helpful. Even put front disks and pads (that I had bought from Ebay) on the car for free since I was getting work done anyway. A++
Disgraceful. A thief and a cheat. I supplied parts. My car was in for 3 days having 3 hours work. When I finally got it back none of the parts had been fitted, he happily took my £150 and my parts. To date I have got the parts back, but he has still stolen my £150. Can't trust this garage.
would not take my grandson car here as when I got there garage was closed and no one called me to say why
I have received a punch on my face and they were two and me alone. I lose my 230 GBP and also lost my car and also they cheat police which conducted to my arrestment. horrible . terrible
Kevin from Data Garage in Glasgow was extremely helpful with my daughter's car who is at university in Glasgow. He reassured me that it was safe for her to drive long distances after he had fixed it and took it out with her to check too. The total charge was £300 for a new clutch and to fix an electrical fault with the steering. He kept me in touch with the progress - I felt a little helpless being in Manchester but I used the website whocanfixmycar to find a reputable garage. I would fully recommend Kevin. My daughter is due to drive home this weekend - in what I am reassured will be a safe car now.
Great device great price thanks Jordan
Great quote, no hassle, job done. Very pleased.
After accepting the quote online, I never received any further communication from Maryhill MOT & Service Centre. Very disappointing in my daughters hour of need.
Excilent service from start to finish, car was looked at thankfully didn't need a new tank, but did require new part. Ordered and fitted in time and price agreed. Wouldn't hesitsate in using or recommending Maryhill MOT & Service Centre.
Agreed online to fix car, garage made no attempt to contact me even after I phoned number several time. Don't advertise for work if don't want it
Very happy will be using for my service and mot
Great advice aswell as service job done on time as was agreed and price was best factor as was quoted £1020 defo use again great service
Great service and staff are always friendly will definitely be using the garage if i have any other issues with the car and they don't rob you the prices are absolutely brilliant
Spot-on service. Dropped the car off on a Saturday morning, told what time the car would be ready for, guys did the work, I picked the car up again and paid the bill. That simple - the way it should be when dealing with garages. Brake pads and discs changed.
Excellent service, excellent price. Highly recommended.
Very Friendly and Helpful Staff, Great Prices
Good job, thanks guys.

Taco Bell Crime of the Week: Illegal Towing that Leads to Reform!
It's rare that a crime leads to positive reform without the victim suffering too bad, but that's what happened last week in Indianapolis, when WTHR-TV Channel 13 conducted an investigation of a tow truck company that involved them duping the bastards by leaving a news truck at Taco Bell.
From Indianapolis:
An exclusive 13 Investigates story got immediate action at the City-County Building.
Eyewitness News has learned the mayor is going after unfair towing companies that may be preying on unsuspecting drivers. In our investigation, we showed how trucks swoop in and, in a matter of minutes, tow cars from parking lots all over the city.
Viewer complaints prompted the three-month investigation into some local towing companies taking vehicles thanks to a loophole in state law. Instead of waiting 24 hours to tow, they trucks are removing them immediately.
A company lookout sits for hours, marking targets and calling for the tow. That included an Eyewitness News vehicle parked at a Taco Bell restaurant near downtown.
"It was an improper tow, you should just be giving me my car back," Eyewitness News Anchor Andrea Morehead told a worker at Interstate Towing.
Morehead got the news truck back without having to pay the $175 fee. But some viewers weren't as lucky.

Crunching the numbers after buying the parent company of ExpressJet Airlines delayed the release of SkyWest Inc.'s fourth-quarter results by about two weeks, but the holdup was apparently worth it.
A big chunk of the income SkyWest earned in the quarter ending Dec. 31 came by way of the ExpressJet acquisition 50 days earlier, said Brad Rich, chief financial officer of the regional airline's holding company, on Wednesday.
"Although we don't report specifically on segments, the ExpressJet operation was both positive cash flow and did generate operating income from Nov. 12 [when the acquisition was completed] to Dec. 31," Rich said in a conference call with analysts.
SkyWest earned $37.2 million, or 67 cents per diluted share, in the quarter. Net income was $19.5 million,or 34 cents per share, in the same quarter of 2009.
With the company's latest profit up almost 91 percent, shareholder and asset manager David Fried was happy with how the quarter turned out. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for SkyWest to report earnings of 33 cents per share.
"The earnings beat expectations. They just blew away all the metrics, as far as I'm concerned," said Fried, CEO of Fried Asset Management in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Rich said SkyWest booked an untaxed accounting profit of $15.6 million because of the ExpressJet acquisition. SkyWest realized the gain because it bought ExpressJet for less than the value of its assets and liabilities.
SkyWest is the parent company of SkyWest Airlines and Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA). It paid $136.5 million for ExpressJet, which became a subsidiary of ASA.
The $15.6 million gain was offset by a pretax expense of $8.8 million for professional fees and severance costs related to the acquisition.
On the other hand, the company brought in additional revenue after settling differences with partner Delta Air Lines over prices SkyWest gets for flying as Delta Connection. Block hours the time SkyWest Airlines and ASA rack up flying for Delta and United Airlines increased in the quarter.
In the end, the additions and subtractions produced $10.2 million, or 18 cents per share, toward the quarterly profit of $37.2 million for the company, Rich said.
SkyWest raked in $796.3 million in revenue during the quarter, up 31.7 percent from the fourth quarter of 2009. The $191.9 million increase was mostly due to a 39 percent hike in hours flown related to ExpressJet that generated $108.7 million in new revenue.
"So, of course, most of the increase in the total operating revenues resulted from the ExpressJet acquisition," Rich said.
Other highlights of the quarter:
• SkyWest ended the three-month period with $805 million in cash and marketable securities. The company's cash hoard is almost as much as its stock market value of $873.5 million, based on Wednesday's activity. SkyWest shares closed at $15.87, up 62 cents, or 4.1 percent.
• SkyWest repurchased 1.1 million shares of its common stock during the quarter. The company intends to buy back more shares in coming months, Rich said.
• SkyWest agreed to acquire eight Bombardier CRJ700 regional jets from Horizon Air, whose sister carrier is Alaska Airlines. The jets will be operated as Delta Connection aircraft. Delivery will be completed in June.
• SkyWest signed a letter of intent to fly five CRJ700 jets for Alaska Airlines, probably beginning in May.
• SkyWest ordered four new CRJ700 jets from manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace. They will fly as Delta Connection jets upon delivery later this year.
• SkyWest invested $7 million in Mekong Aviation Joint Stock Co., giving it a 30 percent stake in Air Mekong, a regional air carrier in Vietnam. Flights began Oct. 9. Some of Air Mekong's pilots formerly worked for ASA.

I'm running XBMCbuntu Eden on an Acer Revo AR3610 with a Microsoft MCE remote with a USB IR receiver. It's been working fine for me for quite some time, but stopped working today all of a sudden.
When I enabled debug logging, I noticed that XBMC was receiving the button presses but was not responding to them for some reason.
After much googling (and trying a few things with no luck), I finally found a recent blog post that had the solution: http://hadoopadmin.blogspot.com/2012/04/...rking.html
I was able to fix it more easily than the blogger, though; all I had to do was copy /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml to my XBMC userdata directory, then rename "mceusb" to "mceusb_hauppauge" and reboot.
It looks like lirc decided for some reason to start reporting my remote as having a different name ("mceusb_hauppauge" instead of "mceusb") and that XBMC didn't recognize that new name as something it knew what to do with.
Linux - MCE remote stopped working but I fixed it

Fidel was a no-show and brother Raul kept quiet during Cuba's annual Revolution Day festivities, leading journalists, analysts and amateur handicappers to puzzle over the larger implications. The Guardian reports "bafflement among the 90,000-strong crowd" that turned out to hear speeches.
The Guardian:
Would Fidel Castro show up at today's Revolution Day celebrations in central Cuba? If so, what would it mean? And if he didn't, what would that mean?
The answer to the first question came when President Raúl Castro and other communist party leaders took their seats for the speeches in Santa Clara – but no Fidel.
Anticlimax turned to bafflement among the 90,000-strong crowd when Raul, who was expected to be the main speaker, stayed mute while lesser luminaries took the lectern, making it the first Revolution Day in living memory when neither Castro spoke.

Nicole Kidman Shows Off Shorter Locks on "The Family Fang" Set
Changing up her look, Nicole Kidman stepped out on the set of "The Family Fang" in New York City on Monday (August 4).
The Australian actress rocked a short red wig with a pair of oversized glasses as she shot scenes in the Big Apple and visited with her father.
In related news, Nicole recently opened up to the Los Angeles Times about her motivation for staying fit.
"Variety is the best way I've found. If you think you are going to wake up and run five miles every morning for the rest of your life, you'll get bored and hit the snooze button after a week," Kidman explained.
"So I try and mix it up with sports, running, yoga and even just going for a walk with my husband and the kids. Living in Nashville makes this easier, as it's so nice just being outside, especially this time of year. I also love Spinning. I try to get everyone to Spin."

Jane and Burt Bacharach's 7-year-old gelding One Off, last in the field in upper stretch, charged down the middle of the track under Brice Blanc to register his first graded stakes win in impressive style Sunday in the $150,000 San Marcos Handicap (g. IIT) on the Santa Anita lawn.
The British-bred One Off, trained by Neil Drysdale, defeated Notable Guest by three-quarters of a length for his ninth career win in 27 starts. The final time for the 1 1/4-mile event was 2:01 2/5.
One Off, sent off at 11-1, was pinched back shortly after the start and fell in at the rear of the eight-horse field as Hello Sunday, pressed by 6-5 favorite Boboman, led the field through easy fractions of :24, :4 and 1:13 2/5. As they came off the far turn following a one-mile clip of 1:37 2/5, the leaders were overcome on the outside. Notable Guest, ridden by David Flores, emerged with the lead mid-stretch while getting a serious challenge from Obrigado, also trained by Drysdale. One Off had a ground-saving trip before swinging out on the final turn, but still trailed in upper stretch. Closing on the extreme outside, Blanc had One Off in full gear under steady left-handed urging going for the wire and they won it in the final strides. Notable Guest edged Obrigado, who was ridden by Corey Nakatani, for second by three parts of a length.
It was the second win of the meeting for the Frenchman Blanc, who returned to his former Southern California riding base this season after a long period at various eastern tracks and celebrated his 34th birthday on Tuesday.
Blanc said he did not anticipate a rapid pace, but his plans to be an early factor went awry. "It didn't look like there was any pace on paper, so Neil told me I wouldn't have to take the horse back," said Blanc. "The plan was to be on the lead or sit second or third early. But two jumps out of the gate, I got squeezed, and my horse threw his head a little bit. So I was a little further back early than I wanted."
"It was a blessing in disguise (the poor break) because the horse loved it, didn't he?" said Drysdale after winning his third San Marcos. "He was just traveling along at the back and came whoosh!"
One Off, a bay son of Barathea--On Call (Alleged), has been competitive in graded stakes since he transferred to the U.S. from England for the 2005 campaign, but was unable to break through before Sunday. His best showing was a second-place finish, one length behind T.H. Approval, in the last year's San Juan Capistrano. One Off returned from a three-month layoff with a second-place finish, 1 1/4 lengths behind Boboman, in a 1 1/4-mile optional allowance/claiming race on the Hollywood Park turf Nov. 2. He signaled his readiness six weeks later under the same conditions when he tallied a 3 1/4-length win. One Off began his career in the United Kingdom, where he won six of 14 in England and was blanked in his lone start in Ireland, winning a totla of $46,220.
Earning $90,000 Sunday, One Off increased his lifetime winnings to $307,354. He now has three wins and two seconds in five starts at 10 furlongs.
With Boboman running out of the money, One Off paid $24.80, $9.80 and $11.60. Juddmonte Farms' Notable Guest, making his first U.S. start for trainer Bobby Frankel, returned $6.60 and $11. Obrigado, who ended his 3-year-old campaign with consecutive runner-up finishes in the Del Mar Derby (gr. IIT), Oak Tree Derby (gr. IIT) and Hollywood Derby (gr. IT), was $6.20 to show in his 2007 debut.
Another Frankel entrant, the two-time Brazilian grade I winner Heroi Do Bafra, finished fourth, followed by Clipperdown, Don Incauto, Hello Sunday and Boboman, who was coming off a big win in the Hollywood Turf Cup (gr. IT) and was seeking his fourth consecutive victory.
"No excuses," commented Richard Mandella, who trains Boboman. "It just wasn't his day."
One Off's stunner combined with several others on the day's program to generate a huge two-day carryover of $723,774 into Wednesday's races at Santa Anita.

Why is UNCW archiving my email?
Problem / Challenge: Email archiving through PSTs doesn't provide faculty/staff with the necessary tools for today's mobile and email-demanding work environment.
- Faculty/staff require access to their email, including archives, both on and off campus.
- Email storage within our existing MS Exchange environment has limitations and is costly.
- Litigation requires eDiscovery which can include massive quantities of email, resulting in site visits to each of the named parties' desktops and hours of reviewing and redacting messages.
- Innovation & Benefits: The Teal Email Archive, a cloud-based email archiving solution, provides cross platform Web access, more efficient storage and improved management functionality. This solution was jointly proposed by ITS and General Counsel in 2010 and approved by Cabinet.
- Faculty and staff gain virtual storage for emails; thus, their Inbox can become practically unlimited, providing a much sought after and requested feature.
- Email archives can be accessed by almost any device with an Internet connection.
- Emails are stored in a compressed and de-duplicated manner, providing the most effective use of storage.
- Archive solutions assist in the time consuming work of electronic discovery.

June 23, 2016
(CLARE) – For all the emotions on full display at the Clare-Gladwin Area School's annual graduation ceremonies – joy, hope, pride – it's still, as much as anything, about celebration. The students and staff at the school know how to have fun, and it showed at the school's recent commencement.
Held June 10 in the standing-room only Area School gym, the festivities marked the end of one chapter for this year's graduating class of six students, and the beginning of another. But for everyone involved with the Clare-Gladwin Regional Education Service District's Special Education program, the occasion marked another successful school year for students.
The 2016 Area School graduating class included Anastasia Albee, Bronwyn Dibble, Christina Mathis, Hanna Nolan, Erica Smith and Joseph Smith.
Principal Mike
Simon served as Master of Ceremonies and was backed by no fewer than seven
music and dance numbers performed by students and staff. The afternoon's theme
was Music Icons, and students danced to popular songs such as "I Will Survive,"
"Surfin' USA," "Y.M.C.A." and "Jailhouse Rock."
A video presentation marked the school year's student highlights and Simon recognized a wide variety of supporters, including staff, volunteers and retirees; employers and community groups who support Area School students in the community; and CGRESD Superintendent Sheryl Presler and the CGRESD Board of Education.
ALL THE WAY AROUND: CGRESD celebrates students' success
(CLARE) – The annual Turn-Around Achievement Awards honoring local high school students are never short of emotion, and this year's ceremony was no exception. Students, teachers and families alike laughed, cried and celebrated as they shared stories of overcoming tremendous personal obstacles to achieve academic success.
The event, sponsored by the Clare-Gladwin Area School Board Association and hosted by the Clare-Gladwin Regional Education Service District, was held May 5 at Mid Michigan Community College.
Former Bullock Creek Schools Superintendent Charles Schwedler delivered a touching, funny keynote address built around choices and their consequences. The luncheon was catered by Culinary Arts students from the Clare-Gladwin Career & Technical Education program. The 20 awardees were flanked by family, friends and educators for the event.
In addition to a certificate, award recipients were given one of three scholarships, each of which entitles them to six credit hours of in-district tuition at MMCC. The scholarships include the Doug Dodge Academic Opportunity Award for students from Beaverton, Clare, Farwell, Gladwin and Harrison schools; the Al Roeseler Academic Opportunity Award for students from Coleman High School; and the Tom Gilstad Academic Opportunity Award for those attending Bullock Creek High School or Meridian High School.
Turn-Around Achievement Award recipients include Amber Bowser and Shania Farrow of Beaverton Junior/Senior High School; Sylix Ryan and Gage Spitnale of Bullock Creek High School; Kaya Billerbeck and Levi Boynton of Clare High School; David Hawkins of Clare Pioneer High School; Ryan Spencer and Julie Yancer of Coleman Junior/Senior High School; Laurren Schaub and Nate Shilling of Farwell High School; Quinten Hass of Farwell Timberland High School; Hannah Lewis and Isaac Morgan of Gladwin High School; Carleigh Dellinger and Thomas Homa of Harrison High School; Matthew Lang and Taylor Norton of Harrison Alternative High School; and Destiny Leathers and Braxton Ross of Meridian High School.
"We are excited by the new possibilities for CTE students that have been assured by voters today, and grateful for their faith in the program which has had such a dramatic impact on the careers of thousands of our local high school students. We were fortunate to utilize the expertise and elbow grease of staff and volunteers in each of our five local school districts to ensure voters across the two counties had a keen understanding of CTE and its importance to our schools, communities and employers. We are profoundly grateful for all who helped with the information campaign.
With the assurance of financial stability for the CTE program, we can now go about the business of making long-overdue improvements to our existing classes, as well as implementing in-demand new ones. We will offer both Welding and Business Management for the upcoming school year, as well as begin the process of establishing a permanent home for our Construction Trades program and providing financial relief to local school districts as it relates to transportation costs and tuition. We also want stakeholders to rest assured we'll continue our valuable dialogue with local employers, striving to meet their workplace needs with well-trained, motivated young workers.
The future for CTE students is bright and loaded with potential, and whether they go to college, go to work or both, our students will enter those chapters of their lives on solid footing and with marketable skills they can use the rest of their lives."

Abbot Martin of Ealing Abbey giving the first talk on the podcast (that's me on the right!).
Saturday 12th September kicked off the first of many events on monastic spirituality. The forum, called the Community of Nazareth met in a hall near to the abbey after mass to listen to a talk (which is now a podcast on the website here) given by the abbot of the Benedictine community in Ealing. He talked about 'running in the light of the Rule of St. Benedict'. After this talk was a period of Lectio Divina followed by a blessing of the icon on the table... and, of course, tea; coffee and biscuits.
The Community of Nazareth: Monastic Spirituality Forum will meet roughly once a month and anyone is welcome to join them at the meetings (which I thoroughly suggest!). There will be so much to learn from the talks and from other people at the forum about implementing monastic spirituality in everyday life. I have included the events of the year with the forum below (you can also get a copy from their website).
So, if you're interested in engaging with monastic spirituality, why not give them a visit? Details for the year are all on the sheets above, but if you would like more information and to catch up on their podcasts, take a look on their website: www.communityofnazareth.com !

Wolf Point City Council Makes Plans To Address Triangle Park Tables, Water Pipeline Issues
Written by Devon Boen
The Wolf Point City Council met on Monday, Oct. 15, and began taking small steps to address large issues.
At last month's meeting, representatives from the Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water Supply System asked the council to consider using its pipeline to provide water to the City of Wolf Point.
Mayor Dewayne Jager said he would turn it over to the water committee to be researched further.
On Oct. 15, the council announced there would be an Oct. 17 of several council members and representatives of ASRWSS to discuss potentially utilizing the pipeline.
On another organizational note, the council appointed several councilmen who would be in charge of running the special meeting regarding the Triangle Park tables and ultimately make the final decision on the controversial issue. The newly appointed councilmen are expected to set a date for a meeting in the near future.
In airport news, the council announced the airport officially has Wi-Fi provided by Nemont and stated the improvement and wildlife study was officially completed. It also authorized public works director Rick Isle to sign a reimbursement request from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The council discussed streets and alleys and announced that the Interstate Engineering project and the sidewalk extension on Front Street were nearly completed.
It also approved the annual Christmas Parade, which will take place Dec. 7.
The council then hired several new city staff members including Joe Hogan as a maitenence worker, Apolonio Padron as a water-wastewater trainee, and Lucas Hall as maintenance worker. It also accepted the resignation of Keeta Clemens.
On a final and reluctant note, the council accepted the resignation of John "Sonny" Douglas effective Nov. 30. He has served on the council for many years and has plans to move to Billings this winter.

D.J. Smith, LB, Green Bay Packers
D.J. Smith, LB, Green Bay Packers
After the year-long defensive meltdown that the Green Bay Packers endured last season, the organization vowed to reassess their scheme and refocus their players on the fundamentals of tackling. It was painfully obvious, however, that personnel changes were in order as well. The organization acknowledged as much, targeting defense with their first six picks of the 2012 Draft and bringing in several defensive veteran free agents to compete for depth.
The team will likely begin this season with a new starter at outside linebacker and at safety. After yet another season of sub-par play (-3.1) and minimal impact (zero turnover plays) from A.J. Hawk, the Packers may finally be ready for a new face at inside linebacker as well. Hawk's would-be replacement is our Secret Superstar: D.J. Smith.
As a rookie, Smith was one of the rare bright spots (+5.7) on last years' dismal defense. His four-game stint late in the season showcased a play-making ability the Packers have been missing from Hawk–who has averaged just 1.8 sacks, 1.3 INT's, and 0.3 FF per season–over the past six years.
Too Short for the NFL?
Despite a prolific four-year career at Appalachian State where Smith amassed 525 tackles and helped deliver a National Championship, most scouts questioned whether he could make it at the next level. Short-armed and generously listed at only 5'11", he just didn't look the part of an NFL linebacker. There were concerns about his ability to see the field in coverage and to find the ball inside on runs.
When the Packers picked him up in the sixth round of the 2010 Draft, many analysts saw the move solely as an attempt to shore up a struggling special teams unit. Few, if any, give him a realistic shot as a legitimate NFL starter. It was likely his intangibles that convinced GM Ted Thompson to take a chance on Smith. Like so many of Thompson's draft picks, Smith was a student of the game, a natural leader, and an instinctive player. Even with the shortened OTAs, Smith stood out in camp and preseason games–so much so, that by the start of the season, he had earned the No. 3 spot at ILB and had given the organization the confidence to keep only two backups at the position (Smith and the equally-untested Robert Francois.)
Call to Duty
It wasn't until Week 12 (the Thanksgiving Day game against Detroit) that Smith got his first snaps on defense in the NFL. With both Hawk and Desmond Bishop forced out of the game due to calf injuries, Smith and Francois were pressed into action and responded well. Smith graded out at a +2.2 with four tackles, two stops, and a QB hurry. More importantly, he made few mistakes.
Smith followed up his strong debut with a trip to Meadowlands against the eventual Super Bowl Champion NY Giants. It was his first NFL start, yet he was given the responsibility of relaying the defensive calls from the sideline and ensuring that everyone was lined up correctly. The transmitter in the communication helmet malfunctioned for much of the first half, and Smith and the coaches were forced to improvise. Smith was unshaken, and all things considered, put up a respectable performance. His hurry on Eli Manning on the first play of the second quarter forced a poor throw and led to a Matthews interception return for touchdown. Nonetheless, Smith's day ended on a sour note (-2.3) as his ugly open-field missed tackle on TE Jake Ballard and late coverage on a pass route out of the backfield both led to first downs that kept the Giants' final game-tying drive alive.
Smith rebounded in impressive fashion (+5.0) against a hapless Raiders offense in Week 14. His interception, four quarterback hurries, and five defensive stops earned him a spot on our All-PFF Team for that week. He was decisive and powerful in his run defense, knifing through the line to meet runners head-on with violent collisions that resulted in losses or short gains. It was a startling sight for Packers fans who had grown accustom to Hawk's "grab and drag" tackling.
A week later at Kansas City, Hawk returned to the starting lineup next to Smith. The pair had an up-and-down game, but Smith (+1.7, 2 stops) showed superior instincts–diagnosing and blowing up a screen and a misdirection play, while Hawk (-1.7, 3 stops) bit hard on several fakes leading to big gains. The next week, and for the remainder of the season, with both Bishop and Hawk healthy, Smith was relegated to the bench. The Packers' sub-par play from half of their ILB tandem resumed as Hawk graded in the red for the final three games, including a -1.0 in the Divisional Playoff against the Giants.
Measuring Impact
While it's impossible to project a player's career after only four games, so far, so good. Smith's 267 snaps are certainly enough to compare him with his peers. Our defensive Signature Stats do just that. They go beyond raw numbers like tackles and sacks to present a clearer picture of the impact players have when they are on the field.
|2011 Snaps
|2011 PFF Grade
|Run Stop %
|Tackling Efficiency
|Pass Rushing Productivity
|Desmond Bishop
|D.J. Smith
|A.J. Hawk
Our Run Stop Percentage shows how often players are making tackles on their run snaps that constitute an offensive loss. In short, when Bishop is defending a run play, 11.3% of the time (including the playoffs) he's making a tackle that results in a negative play for the offense. That number is good for Top 10 among the leagues' ILBs. Tackling Efficiency illustrates how well defenders do at finishing the play. For Smith, he made 18 tackles for every tackle he missed–a ratio that would have landed him in the Top 10 for that category with a few more qualifying snaps. Our Pass Rushing Productivity rating measures total pressure (hurries, hits, and sacks) generated per pass rushing snap with weighting toward sacks. It gives you an idea of which players are best at causing disruption when given the green light to pin their ears back and charge the quarterback. Bishop is among the league's very best at ILB and Hawk is among the Top 20.
Time to Move On?
Head Coach Mike McCarthy has said Smith will have a chance to push for a starting role this season which could mean moving on without Hawk and his $4.4 million in salary cap money. With this year's fifth-round draft pick Terrell Manning from NC State and the recent move of Brad Jones and Jamari Lattimore from OLB to ILB, the team appears to be in position to do so. However, the Packers have a history of questionable decisions when it comes to the #5 pick in the 2006 Draft. The Packers coaches kept Bishop languishing on the bench behind Hawk (a move that many, including Bishop himself, questioned publicly) for a good two years before an injury to Nick Barnett early in 2010 finally got him on the field. Bishop immediately went about the task of proving to Packer management how wrong they had been. Over the last two seasons Bishop has graded out at +46.3 to Hawk's -3.8.
At the end of the 2010 season, the Packers were again faced with a decision. This time it was whether to keep the fiery, often outspoken Barnett at starting ILB or re-sign Hawk as a free agent. Barnett's injury history was a concern, as were his emotional highs and lows on gamedays. In a bit of a surprise, the Packers signed Hawk to a mind-boggling five-year, $33.75 million contract and cut Barnett. Barnett ended up in Buffalo with a three-year, $12 million deal and was one of their top defenders last season (+8.4).
The irony is that the Packers management has cited some of the same intangibles that drew them to Smith when defending their decisions on Hawk. They valued Hawk's professionalism, work ethic, and his steady leadership in the huddle. With D.J. Smith as a starter, perhaps they could get more production to go with it.

Chuck Knoblauch
The name alone can bring up a wide-range of feelings for Twins fans. From World Series champion to the business end of a flying sea of hot dogs, Knoblauch suffered through some highs and lows in Minnesota. These opposite ends of the spectrum are what make his story so intriguing.
One of the biggest high points in Knoblauch's career had to have been the Twins run to the 1991 World Series. The rookie second baseman would put up strong numbers in the World Series by hitting .308/.387/.346. In the pivotal seventh game of the series, Knoblauch and shortstop Greg Gange appeared to deceive Lonnie Smith. Terry Pendleton hit a clear double but Knoblach pretended to start a double play and Smith only made it to third base. This run would be critical in a tight game.
During his time with the Twins, Knoblauch compiled some very good on the field numbers. From 1991-1997, he hit .304/.391/.416 with 210 doubles, 51 triples, and 43 home runs. His best three-year stretch was from 1994-1996 when he batted .330/.422/.491. Before he was traded away, Knoblauch accumulated a career 37.8 WAR which puts him in some elite company in the Twins organization.
Knoblauch's Twins tenure didn't end the greatest as he suffered through some of the toughest years in Twins Territory. He wanted to go to a winning team and the Twins didn't look to be moving in that direction. The club would trade him to the New York Yankees following the 1997 season for a package of players. Minnesota got the best years out of Knoblauch and there would be some dark moments ahead for him.
Two future All-Stars, Cristian Guzman and Eric Milton were among the players that were part of the Knoblauch deal. In a strange turn of events, Knoblauch left town because he wanted to win and the players he was traded for would be part of Minnesota's new winning tradition. Here is how the package of players fared in their Twins careers:
- Eric Milton 14.7 WAR (6 seasons)
- Cristian Guzman 7.5 WAR (6 seasons)
- Brian Buchanan 0.3 WAR (3 seasons)
- Danny Mota 0.0 WAR (1 season)
Things weren't all positive during his years in New York. In 1999, he began to have a tough time making throws to first base. This condition would worsen enough in 2000 that he began to play more time at DH. In 2001, he didn't play a game at second as the team moved him to left field and this allowed Alfonso Soriano to slide into the line-up.
One of the most memorable moments in Metrodome history took place after Knoblauch moved to the outfield. When the Yankees visited Minnesota at the beginning of May 2001, things turned ugly in the outfield stands. It was "Dollar Dog Night" so fans had access to plenty of cheap ammo. Minnesota was still trying to get back to respectability in the AL so tickets were cheap. This lead to some poor decisions from the Metrodome faithful.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Twins took a three run lead on a Matt Lawton single. The fans had plenty of rounds of beer and hot dogs in them by this point in the game. As excitement rang from the crowd, hot dogs and other objects were thrown on the field. PA Announcer Bob Casey did his best to calm to raucous crowd but it wasn't until manager Tom Kelly walked out and spoke with the fans that things would finally get back to order.
Overall, Knoblauch put together some solid numbers in his 12-year MLB career. His post-playing career has been filled with more than one black eye and this has tarnished some of his on the field legacy. Some Twins fans will remember the solid second baseman that helped the club to win a championship. Others will think of flying hot dogs and steroid accusations.
Either way, Knoblauch is a very polarizing figure. It also doesn't help that he was a damn Yankee.

Candidates are scarce in most non-partisan races for the November election a week away from the filing deadline.
The May primary has up multiple races in the general election for county offices, including judge-executive, jailer, clerk and magistrates, pitting a Republican against a Democrat.
However, non-partisan candidates who would like to run for mayor and city council or commission seats in Williamstown, Dry Ridge, Crittenden or Corinth have until 4 p.m. Aug. 12 to file.
Kentucky General Assembly's 2014 regular session may have ended months ago, but several new laws passed will finally go into effect July 15.
The state constitution specifies that new laws take effect 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature, except for general appropriation measures and those containing emergency or delayed effective date provisions.
The General Assembly's 2014 session adjourned on April 15, making July 15 the day that most laws will take effect.
A week before the end of the 2013-14 fiscal year the Dry Ridge City Council approved amending the budget to add $40,000.
The additional funds were allocated to the Dry Ridge Fire Department, upping its appropriations for the year to $1.028 million.
Chief Tom Jump said before the first reading of the budget amendment that he did not intend to use all of the funds and any remaining would be put back in the city's general fund.
The filing deadline may still be two months away, but the first candidate for a non-partisan city race has turned in his paperwork.
Vincent S. Stephens has filed to run for mayor of the city of Dry Ridge.
The May primary has set up multiple races in November for county offices, including judge-executive, jailer, clerk and magistrates, pitting a Republican against a Democrat.
However, non-partisan candidates who would like to run for mayor and city council or commission seats in Williamstown, Dry Ridge, Crittenden or Corinth have until 4 p.m. Aug. 12 to file.
The votes have been tallied and the local political matchups are set for the November primary election.
For county judge-executive, Republican Steve Wood will face off against Democratic candidate Richard Austin, a long-time magistrate on the Grant County Fiscal Court.
Austin handily won his primary race with nearly 50 percent of the vote against three opponents.
He led the pack with 1,179 votes, followed by 469 votes for Shirley Wilson, 411 for Anitra Jump and 307 for Keith Ellington.
Grant County residents could soon be getting a phone call from the Northern Kentucky Health Department asking for their input.
The health department will be sponsoring a random telephone survey beginning July 21 to gauge the community's perceptions of health-related issues.
The 15-minute survey, which the department will conduct overt two weeks, can be answered by any adult age 18 and older.
Both cell phone and land-line phone numbers will be included in the survey sample.

The City of Corinth held its first regular meeting of 2017 on Jan. 9 at the city building.
Of the four commissioners, three are fresh, new faces.
Joining Mayor William Hill and returning Commissioner Barbara New were Aimee Lingle, Jeanette Houk and Deana Caldwell.
City clerk Tara Wright also was in attendance, along with Greg Ulasiewicz, who was there to discuss an eyesore property within the city limits.
A captain at the Grant County Detention Center was still on the job days after being found guilty of domestic violence charges.
Steven Skinner, 27, and his wife, Michelle Skinner, were both charged with fourth-degree assault April 17 after an alleged domestic dispute with his wife.
A Grant County jury found Steven Skinner guilty on the charges July 31. He was ordered to pay a $500 fine and court costs, but no jail time or probation.
After Skinner's arrest, Jailer Terry Peeples said, if convicted, Skinner would be fired.
(Editor's note: This story contains sexually-explicit allegations in a lawsuit filed against the Grant County jailer.)
Terry Peeples is accused of sexual assault and harassment in the latest lawsuit filed against the Grant County jailer.
Peeples, who is seeking his second term in the November election, has had previous lawsuits filed against him by at least six former employees since taking office in 2011.

SEO People Lists & Judging an SEO
SEO people lists. We've all seen them, articles that talk about the latest SEO wunderkind. They generally contain the same people, including the same descriptions. I was reading the latest one yesterday and it made me think "How does the author know if this person is any good at SEO?"
Before I carry on, lets get the following out of the way, it covers my arse in terms of bitterness and resentment… 🙂 This is nothing against any person who writes a "SEO's to look out for in 2012" based post neither is it against the people who are added to them. I don't have the want/intention or ability to be included in such a list. The issue is how these people are chosen or judged.
You rarely see an SEO publicly discuss the websites that they work on and understandably so, no-one wants to increase the competition within their sector or lose clients (SEO consultants and agencies are sneaky when it comes to stealing business, yes especially the big ones!) But I can imagine for the majority another reason is because they can't preach white hat and brilliant link building if their sites are shit and their backlink profiles are spammy as hell.
If you've written a similar post or tweet about da bestest SEOs in da world eva, how did you decide that the person you were bigging up knew what they were on about? Was it their blog content, social networking, public speaking or maybe their self promotion? The funny thing is these things are all based on someone's ability to talk to people and effectively rewrite content, combined with the occasional unique, clever idea.
Is this really the best way to judge whether someone understands SEO? Does having the skills above mean that they understand what it takes to improve rankings, traffic and conversions across a multitude of sectors? I don't think so.
Whats the point of this article? I've forgotten. Feel free to agree or disagree below…
Watch out for my next post – "SEOs to watch out for in 2012!"
11 Responses to SEO People Lists & Judging an SEO
I don't think those lists are built on "who knows SEO best", but more who can you learn from. I am flattered to be included in such a list, esp. with the other, more expert SEO's. A great majority of what I share is written by other people that can articulate far better than I can. Many times I do very repetitive things to produce results and I don't have any earth-shattering new technique to blog about. I don't have massive data that I want to share, and I would never use someone else's data to prop up my theories. I do answer questions from people that ask in DM's, and there's probably a great deal of that going on that you don't see. I always try to help newcomers because when I started out, many "name" SEO's were esoteric dicks.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Nobody actually *does* SEO. It's all about blogging about it and bragging on Twitter. 🙂VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Hey Mate,
You make a valid point and I've always wondered about this sort of thing… in my view and in my experience many of the true "Best SEOs" are the unsung heroes who tend to keep to themselves.
With few exceptions I always try to create lists, give props or FF's to people that either share the best content with me, are most helpful to their users (i.e. respond to Tweets/questions, etc.) or that I have actually worked with and I know for a fact are brilliant SEOs even if they don't talk much about SEO on major blogs.
In any event, the long and short of it is that without access to case studies, client feedback and/or working directly with someone the lists are pretty arbitrary if they're about "best SEOs". However, if they are about "best sharers or creators of SEO content" – as you say – well that's a bit easier for all to judge.
As a minor aside, some of the work that I've seen second hand from some of the "best SEO agencies" based on industry reputation and positioning would make me quite sceptical of any such list.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

I don't entirely agree with everything I said in Boyfunk. I don't entirely disagree. I don't think I articulated a lot of things in the ways I wanted. Anyway, there's still some great stuff in these zines, and I learned a lot from the experience.

As previously reported, browsers will be presented in random order, with other less popular options available to view as well. It will initially be available to users in the United Kingdom, Belgium and France, while a full rollout to other European countries expected on March 1. The ballot itself will be distributed automatically via Windows Update to customers running Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Running the update in Windows 7 will also automatically unpin IE from the taskbar if it's already set. Users will see an introductory screen explaining why this happened and giving the option to pin it back -- which seems rather unnecessary and confusing. In addition to offering the browser ballot to existing Windows users, OEMs will be able to preinstall a browser of their choosing and also uninstall IE from machines shipping with Windows 7.

America Abroad: Afghanistan After Karzai
Audio not yet available
Afghanistan has been led for the past decade by President Hamid Karzai. Once his second, five-year term ends, many are left wondering what the future will be for US-Afghan relations, women's rights and education, reconciliation with the Taliban, and the overall progress of peace and stability in the region.
On this episode of America Abroad, hear an international town hall with experts from Washington and Kabul:
- Ryan Sparks, former Commanding Officer of Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Marines during US surge operations in Afghanistan in 2010
- Mark Jacobson, Senior Transatlantic Fellow at The German Marshall Fund, Navy Reserves intelligence officer, former Defense Department official and adviser to General Stanley McChrystal and General David Petraeus in Afghanistan
- Fawzia Koofi, Member of Parliament in Afghanistan and women's rights activist
- Lotfullah Najafizada, Head of TOLOnews TV in Kabul, Afghanistan
Their thoughts will be especially vibrant considering the current election in Afghanistan. If a president is selected without contention, it will be the first true democratic transition of power in the country.
Please note: this episode of America Abroad was recorded before election day in Afghanistan.

Temp. department change to entertainment at work: Success
I absolutely love it so far. It's twice the amount of work but I have an amazing cast I get to work with. They pulled me over to do opening ceremonies which is awkward as everyone else has been doing it for years and here's ol me doing it year one into the event. A few of the management team has since been trying to get me to put in my entire transfer into the department but I still love my original work team so we'll see.

DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old daughter confided that she has become sexually involved with her boyfriend and asked if I would buy condoms for her. I agreed that she should protect herself and bought her a box of 12.
A week later, she informed me that she needed another 12-pack. When I asked why she had run out so quickly, she confessed that she has been supplying them to her girlfriends. Apparently they can't confide in their moms the way she can with me.
My dilemma is that condoms are expensive and, on one hand, I don't want to be the one supplying a group of kids. On the other hand, if I can help to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, maybe it's worth it. What do you think I should do?-- SAFE SEX ADVOCATE IN ILLINOIS
DEAR SAFE SEX ADVOCATE: If your daughter's friends are old enough to be sexually active, they and their boyfriends should also be responsible enough to provide their own birth control. Generally, teens do not need the permission of their parents to receive information about it. Because you want to help them avoid unwanted pregnancies (as well as STDs), direct them to the nearest Planned Parenthood Center for low-cost or no-cost birth control and instruction on how to use it. There are 18 of these health centers in Illinois. To find the one closest to you, visit plannedparenthood.org .
DEAR ABBY: I am the mother of three wonderful girls. The problem is my husband thinks the way to make them love him is by allowing them everything I don't. I'll give you some examples:
I don't let the girls eat anywhere except at the table, so my husband brings treats into the family room. I try to limit high-sugar/fat items like chips and candy, which he buys for them on a regular basis. I also try to adhere to a regular bedtime schedule, while he thinks nothing of stretching lights-out to an hour or more later.
Then he complains that the girls won't listen to him, so I must be in charge of the discipline. While this makes him Fun Daddy in our house, it makes me ... MEAN MOMMY IN OHIO
DEAR MOMMY: It appears you're not just raising three wonderful girls, but also coping with an immature, overgrown boy. Parenthood is supposed to be a united, consistent partnership, a team effort. Your husband is sabotaging you and ignoring that one of the responsibilities of parenthood is establishing rules and limits that children should live with.
Your husband needs parenting classes, and if that's not possible, some sessions with a child behavior expert who can explain the consequences of what he's doing to his daughters in the name of being "Fun Daddy." From my perspective, there isn't anything funny about it. You have my sympathy.
DEAR ABBY: I work at a senior retirement community, and the residents have a Halloween party each year. In the past, there were prizes for the three best costumes. However, last year they stopped giving prizes because one of the residents is a professional artist and costume maker, and the association felt it would be unfair to the others to have him compete.
This year it was decided not to hold the contest at all. The residents are disappointed. How can they continue to have the costume contest and include the professional?-- DRESSED UP IN LOUISIANA
DEAR DRESSED UP: Ask the artist/costume designer to be the judge.

1 Tell your 17yr old daughter to keep her legs closed until her BF has balls enough to but the raincoats himself.
2 Tell dad that if he keeps this up his daughters will turn into fat tramps who guys will use and dump like a taco wrapper.
3 Gee, why do I get the feeling this was a hardy boy type question.
#3 Oct 16, 2013

LW1 - People of any age can buy condoms. They are available over the counter at any drug store or supermarket. Why can't your daughter buy her own? Why can't her girlfriends? Why can't the BF? ITA with Race: tell your daughter to keep her legs crossed (and her mouth closed) until the BF has the balls to buy his own protection. In the meantime DO take your daughter to the Dr. and get her on the pill.
LW2 - Wow. You are one uptight mom. I am wondering how old your girls are. And what exactly do you mean by "limiting high sugar/fat items."
LW3 - Yep.
#5 Oct 16, 2013
1. Agree with the cross your legs let them go to PP and get them themselves comments.
2. What Abby said.
3. What are the prizes? Are they that valuable that it takes the fun out of the contest? If so have a costume party without a contest. I am guessing that 80 and 90 year olds don't really give a crap about some cheesy prize, they just want to have fun.

1- Tell then if they can't take responsibility for sex, they shouldn't be having it. And geez, all her friends are sexually active? Parenting fail on everyone's part. Maybe I should move to this wh0retown.
3- Because someone's feelings got hurt, no one is allowed to have any fun anymore. How typical.
Northwestern university has banned peanuts from its stadium.
I feel much safer now.

LW1: Between the two in each couple, they can go look for money behind the couch cushions and buy their own condoms. Dont kids work anymore?
LW2: This is why compatibility and seeing eye to eye is important when you pick a mate. I like a more structured house and so does my wife. Although we each are a bit more lenient about certain things in our own ways, we generally see eye to eye. You two sound like you have completely opposite views. Your views are not any more right than his, however.
LW3: I would enjoy seeing whatever the professional comes up with each year. Who cares if he always wins the one of the prizes? Why shouldnt he if he has one of the best costumes? How is winning something you are good at unfair? Its also not like there is only one prize. There are two more of them.

For ONE effing game, dog.
And the student with the severe peanut allergy does feel safer now.
#9 Oct 16, 2013
LW1: the problem is that you only bought the pack of twelve. Things get cheaper when you buy them in bulk. And expensive? I don't really want to search on condoms on Amazon or one of the drugstore sites, but I don't recall them being near any price I'd consider expensive the last time I purchased them. Well, the latex ones. The non-latex ones (latex allergies suck) were a bit spendy.
LW2: Talk to your husband. If you can't come to a compromise on these things, you have bigger problems.

L1: What Cass said. It's a wonder you managed to raise a daughter smart enough to use condoms in the first place.
L2: Tell your husband that now is the time to have a united front. When you become grandparents is the time to let kids get away with stuff.
L3: What Sub said, but if everyone's precious egos can't handle it, go with what Abby said.

LW1: Are condoms really that expensive?
I feel that you should continue to supply your child with them, as well as making sure she's on some kind of birth control. Clearly they're gonna do it and the boy is too much of a pussay to purchase his own.
LW2: Maybe you could stop being so strict, that way he won't feel like he has to make up for you being a b!tch.
LW3: If the old folks want to dress up for Halloween, they should just do it, eff the contest.

Maybe you should stop caring about what's going on at a football game that you are not going to.
#15 Oct 16, 2013
LW1: Why is it so difficult for parents to talk to their children about birth control? The alternative is to be a grandparent at 36. If I were in your position, I would buy a case of condoms every month if that was the only way these kids would get protection. The world does not need more teen parents. But yes, encourage them to go to Planned Parenthood and also take your daughter there and get her on the pill.
LW2: Parents need to back each other up or the kids will pit one against the other. Definitely sign you and your husband up for parenting classes before you end up on Super Nanny.
LW3: Ha! Good answer from Amy. Or you could just give him the prize for Most Original every year and then have Funniest, Scariest, Cutest, etc.

Maybe the person with the sever peanut allergy should have stayed home for one effing game. It's completely obnoxious that 50,000 or however many folks should be banned from eating peanuts at a game so 1 person with a peanut allergy can attend the game.
I by the way have a peanut allergy ... it's not severe and I don't avoid them, even though my doctor said I should and that it could change over time into a life threatening allergy. Even if that were the case, that would be on me ... I'd never expect everyone else in society to adjust their behaviors because of something that is personal to me.

Vietnamese cuisine is divided into three regions: North, heavily influenced by China; South, more influenced by the French; and Central, spicier and more complex than cooking in the northern or southern regions of Vietnam. A typical meal might include roasted meat or fish, stir-fry vegetables, rice, soup, and fish and soy sauces.
Pho bo Hanoi (Hanoi soup): a substantial beef and rice-noodle soup.
Bun bo Hue (beef noodle soup Hue-style): a substantial, meaty, meal-in-one noodle soup flavored with shrimp paste and a little chile heat.
Hu tieu (Saigon soup): noodles with chicken and/or pork and vegetables, either bathed in broth or served with broth on the side in a separate bowl.
Pho ga (Hanoi chicken soup) and mien ga (chicken soup with cellophane noodles): are comforting and sustaining meals-in-one.
Bo vien (beef balls): small, slightly chewy beef meatballs served floating in a clear aromatic broth, sometimes with added rice noodles and fresh herbs.
Nem nuong (grilled meatballs): small pork meatballs, lightly spiced and grilled.
Cha gio (fried spring rolls): rice papers wrapped around finely chopped pork, assorted vegetables, and cellophane noodles, then deep fried; served with fresh greens and dipping sauce.

"Our experience with Lori and Dana was extremely enjoyable. They were very professional, knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions. We never felt rushed, both were available to spend additional time beyond our planned meeting to view additional properties. Being new to Florida and not knowing Florida real estate, they helped us with everything from finding a home inspector, getting the right inspections and providing referrals to the appropriate legal and insurance professionals. We cannot say enough how much we enjoyed working with them, we feel like we made friends, not just did a business transaction. We recommend them very highly."
"Lori helped us through an extremely difficult short sale and hung in there with us to get us our dream home. She is a very professional realtor and I now consider her my friend! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking in the Naples area."
"Lori really knows her stuff. She took the headaches out of the process, recognized that time kills all deals so she was on top of all the things to get done, and stayed with the deal all the way through to closing. Great experience and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is passionate about helping people and doing the right thing and knows how to get it all to come together. I highly recommend her."

Before he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, Justin Morneau penned an open thank you letter to Twins fans and the only organization he has ever known. He discussed how he has grown up in the organization from a "wide-eyed 22-year old kid" to now being "someone my friends and family could be proud of." Minnesota has become his "second home" and he will always have connections here because his "wife, kids, and family are Minnesotans."
In the end, he apologized for never winning a World Series in a Twins uniform but this was really something that he couldn't fully control. He will have a good chance to play on a playoff team for the first time since the 2006 season and the Twins were able to get a couple of serviceable players for what was left on Morneau's expiring contract.
Morneau took time to thank Twins fans and it seemed only appropriate that fans write their own thank you back to the slugging Canadian first baseman. Here's an open letter from myself to and about Morneau as he exits the organization:
A certain type of player seems to come along once in a generation to grace the baseball diamond. Lucky enough for Twins fans there have often been times when two of these players were in the line-up on the same day. From Killebrew to Oliva and Puckett to Hrbek, great duos have called Minnesota home. Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer were one of these duos and sadly those duos can't last forever.
Morneau's play on the field seemed to be on track for legendary status. He won the American League MVP in 2006 and two years later he would finish runner-up to Dustin Pedoria for the same award. He would be selected to four straight All-Star Games from 2007-2010. In 2008, he won the Home Run Derby Championship and the next night he scored the winning run in the 15th inning of the Mid-Summer Classic.
Things didn't seem like they could get any higher.
In the summer of 2010, it looked like Morneau might be well on his way to his second MVP trophy. His monster first half had helped the Twins to be near the top of the AL Central. All of Twins Territory felt the pain of what happened from that point moving forward. John McDonald accidentally kneed Morneau in the head on a play at second base in Toronto. It would take large chunks of the next two seasons for Justin to try and recover from post-concussion syndrome and a variety of other injuries.
His last month in a Twins uniform seemed to finally look closer to the Justin of old. He hit nine home runs in the month of August but he saved one of his most memorable home runs for his last game. With the Twins facing off against Yu Darvish, a candidate for the AL Cy Young, Morneau smacked the go-ahead home run in the seventh inning. It was a home run that moved him past Tony Oliva on the franchise's all-time home run list.
Justin's mark on the field isn't the only remnant of his 14 years in the Twins organization. He was a two-time winner of the Bob Allison Award that is given to the Twins player who exemplifies determination, hustle, tenacity, competitive spirit and leadership both on and off the field. Morneau and his wife Krista are active members in trying to make a difference in the community.
To say thank you to Justin for his time in Minnesota would not be enough.
He gave 110% for this franchise from the time he was drafted in 1999 to his last game in 2013. Morneau has left his mark on Twins Territory and it is hard to imagine this team without number 33 in the line-up. My connection to the Minnesota Twins was strengthened because of the man Morneau was on and off the field. When my future kids ask me about players I loved to watch, the short list will include a slugging Canadian first baseman.
Good luck to Justin as he gets a chance to pursue the ultimate goal of winning a World Series. And even though it doesn't seem like nearly enough...
Thank you.
