This is by far my favorite Roger Moore "Bond" outing. And, even one of the best in the entire Bond series. The Spy Who Loved Me begins very similar to another one of my favorite Bond films…You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery. Both films start with the capturing of crafts…in You Only Live Twice it is a space rocket and in The Spy Who Loved Me it is a submarine. Obviously, we know that these "stolen" crafts are not to work of a sane person or entity. But, who is it? Is it Russia? Is it China? Basically once the craft is captured, it is up to 007 to save the day, as usual. Where both films differ is in the villain. You Only Live Twice has the ever-popular Blofeld, who by the time You Only Live Twice came out, was getting a little passé. But, in The Spy Who Loved Me, Curd Jürgens plays Stromberg…one of the best Bond villains. His evilness is intense and not prolonged…if he wants to kill someone, he just does it (unlike the other Bond baddies who talk and talk and talk about killing before they actually get around to it). Moore also has excellent chemistry with his Russian counterpart…played by Barbara Bach. They play well off of each other, even though Bach is a little stiff at times. Moore's quips usually get to be too much after a while but Bach does a good job of countering his jibes with some of her own.

Are the hills alive? Well, if they weren't before this movie, they sure are now. Take the premise from Maria von Trapp's life story and add songs and dancing and what do you have—magic! That's what Rodgers and Hammerstein must have discovered when they began adapting this story for the stage. And, shortly after its success on Broadway, Hollywood came calling and Rodgers and Hammerstein answered, taking director Robert Wise and writer Ernest Lehman along for the ride. If you don't like musicals, you might be advised to be especially leery of this one. The Sound of Music takes the sappiness and melodrama you normally find (in small amounts) in musicals to new heights. But, in this film with this story and with these characters, it just seems to work and I love it. Julie Andrews (never better) plays Maria, a young, fledging novice nun who just can't seem to make her convent life work with her rebellious and free-spirited personality. Christopher Plummer plays stern and ill-tempered Captain von Trapp, the head of a family for whom she governesses. Since I already said it was sappy, you can assume that a love story between these two unlikely people develops. Now seen as more of a children's film, this movie is very much for everyone. Sure, children like the singing and the fact that there are six kids in the cast. But, adults should also appreciate that this film, though a bit overdone, is one of the best examples of the Hollywood musical ever produced.
This is my guilty pleasure of 2004. I really liked this one, even though I probably shouldn't. First of all, it's supposed to be based on a much better Japanese film from 1997, which I have not seen yet – though I want to now. After I finished watching this film, I just felt all good inside…like I could dance and sing around my house, all by myself. And, I think that's what the attraction is for everyone: this is a feel good film and who doesn't want to feel good? The story revolves around a married man (Richard Gere) who is set in his ways of working late and coming home to his wife and older children. Through no dialogue, but just through the expressions on Gere's face, we can tell he's frustrated with the path his life has taken. This all changes when he discovers a dance studio and begins to take lessons…begrudgingly at first. Soon, the desire and need to dance consumes…he HAS to dance. It's a compulsion, like something he cannot control in himself. Dance is just what he needs to bring some spice and excitement back into his life. I enjoyed this one from beginning to end. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, something else comes along and surprises you. It's not a fabulously directed film that makes any strides in the area of filmmaking…it's just a sweet, endearing film that leaves you with a good sense of humanity and optimism about life.
Did you ever see a car accident on your way home from work and think…could that have been me if I had caught that elevator I missed? Well, this film asks a question like that…how does a split second in the life of a London woman alter her existence forever? The movie then plays out two scenarios…one with her making a train and one with her just missing it. From that moment in time and the story splits in two, this film becomes an excellent example of how life, love, happiness, etc. can all change on a dime. Gwyneth Paltrow plays the woman here…and she's never been better…she captures the perfect combination of innocence and naïve that is required to play the role of a woman whose life hinges a moment in time. Not as metaphysical as it sounds…this one is a good film for all romantics, as well as people who've ever thought…"if only I'd made that train…"
This is a film that honestly brings Shakespeare to life…literally and figuratively. A brilliant movie that utilizes many of the Bard's plays for dialogue and antidotes, but most notably Romeo and Juliet, the ever-tragic saga of Italian star-crossed lovers. The tragic lover story is key to this film…the movie follow Romeo's plot, in a lot of ways, and even takes quite a few scenes directly from the play. But, then again, that is the gimmick here. Will Shakespeare, in the film, is supposed to be suffering writer's block…longing for a muse to get him back in the creative spirit. Just when all hope is lost, he meets Viola, the well-to-do daughter of a wealthy family. As she becomes his muse, their story, verse for verse, scene for scene, mimics what Shakespeare is writing. So, Viola's and Will's love is really Romeo's and Juliet's as well. So, when I say that this film TAKES scenes from Romeo, that is how it's supposed to work…since the story of the film inspired the play. And, boy, does it all come together with passion. It might sound confusing, but worry not, it's just a bit hard to explain. All will make sense. Even if you are not a fan of the Bard, or you are not familiar with Romeo (how could you not be?), the story still plays well and is ever-entertaining. Though, it does help some if you are able to catch the nuances between the film story and the play. How art not seen the play? For shame, for shame. A plague on your house.
A modern day Cyrano de Bergerac story starring Steve Martin as large-nosed C.D. Bales, who falls for Daryl Hannah, who falls for Rick Rossovich, who does not know what to say to Hannah or how to say it. Enter Martin, who writes her beautiful letters, saying and meaning things she thinks are coming from Rossovich. This one shines because of the smart, snappy dialogue, written by Martin.
A touching, heartfelt film that does a perfect job of not being too sappy or weepy. I mean, I cried, but I don't think this film intentionally takes the audience on a "false" emotional roller coaster. In this film, all of the emotions are sincere and come from the remarkable performances and the delicately-tuned script. The story is basically about two men…Michael is content at a home for the disabled until Rory comes to live there. Rory is paralyzed from the neck down and Michael has Cerebral Palsy and is barely verbal, though Rory can understand him perfectly. Rory makes Michael see how unfulfilling life at the home is and introduces Michael to the world of pubs, women and independence. Michael and Rory's are two lost souls…Michael is unaware that he is a lost soul and Rory is painfully and VERY bitterly aware that he is lost forever—lost in world of movement and mobility. Together, these two men teach each other so much about life and love and respect. They are good and bad for each other at the same time…when Michael moves out of the home and into an apartment with Michael, I was SO UPSET. I thought this would lead to NOTHING positive for both men. But, the independence Michael develops and the love he feels for both the nurse they hire to care for them (romantic love) and for Rory (platonic love) teaches him so much about life…things he never would have learned by just staying in the home. Even though some of these lessons lead to heartache, they enrich both Rory's and Michael's lives immensely. This is a hard film to watch without feeling that emotional roller coaster but at least in this case, the ride is realistic and worth it.
Random Harvest could be called a sappy soap opera that is virtually unwatchable. It could be, but in my opinion, it's most definitely not that. This is a highly powerful and engaging film with…yes, some very improbable circumstances. But, so what? If the acting weren't as good as it is, maybe this one would have fell into that pile of melodramatic mush. But because Greer Garson and Ronald Colman are so believable and passionate here, I find it impossible not to enjoy the ride. Colman plays a man who has lost his memory during combat duty in WWI. At the beginning of the movie, he is in a mental institution. Garson is the woman who befriends him after he escapes. Of course, Colman and Garson fall in love and then, through a series of circumstances, he regains his memory…forgetting all about his life with Garson. Yes, I know it sounds illogical but trust me, it works…mostly because of the performances. Garson and Colman take the slightly over-the-top dialogue and bring it back into reality. They are both fabulous here…as is the entire movie in general. A great old-fashioned love story for a cold Winter night…or even a hot Summer evening…!
A little bit of French Kiss mixes with the screwball elements of The Valet and The Closet for a fun, wild romp in this romantic comedy set in the French Riviera. Audrey Tautou stars in this fabulously funny film about a woman looking less for love and more for money in a beau. Being devastatingly beautiful helps her snag some rich gentlemen, but it also snags her a bartender, whom she mistakes for a wealthy playboy and he does little to correct her misperception. From there, the two set about together trying to out-do each other in the "rich" loves department. The bartender, who was hilarious in The Valet, is played by comic French star Gad Elmaleh. Between Tautou and him, they make the movie…his expressions of terror and her naivety make for a highly entertaining film.
A classic love story, based on the award-winning novel by A.S. Byatt. Told in both the present time and Victorian times, Byatt's story and characters leap off of the pages and director Neil LaBute captures that same vividness in the film. Aaron Eckhart and Gwyneth Paltrow play academics in modern-day England and while they research the relationship between two historical lovers, they fall in love themselves. LaBute does a great job of combining the past and present elements throughout the movie—scenes go seamlessly from historical times to the present day. LaBute lends equal time to both eras, allowing each love story to evolve in its own way…at its own pace. Beautiful scenery and lush dialogue enhance the emotions of this timeless love story.

It's been awhile since we've seen changes made to the Google Play Store on the web. But just in time for the inevitable Nexus 5 release, it seems Google is doing a little tidying up. Hopping on over to Google Play's Nexus 7 listing, you'll notice a cleaner layout, removing separate listings for various device configurations, replacing them instead with simple 16GB or 32GB selection boxes and connectivity dropdown menu. We approve.
While not ground breaking, it does make users' shopping experience that much easier and highlights some last minute changes before the Nexus 5 (and maybe even the Nexus 4?) arrives on the scene. Shouldn't be much longer, folks. The anticipation is building.

Door County Circuit Judge Peter Diltz, upper right, administers the oath of office to members of the Door County Board during its organizational meeting Tuesday.
After its Administrative Services Committee deadlocked 4-4 last week, the Door County Board on Tuesday voted unanimously to replace former County Administrator Michael Serpe with a new administrator, not a less powerful administrative coordinator.
Serpe was terminated during a special board meeting March 30 after an investigation that called his management style into question and raised concerns about some of his interactions with county employees.
Under state statutes, an administrator has greater power over county operations than an administrative coordinator but not as much ...

Is it possible to make a shop for the match? Like Hive has or Hypixel and all those big Minigames servers? If not you should add that into the plugin. Which would make the plugin much more awesome.

I came across this weird bug. I am using flans mod with the server and I have set up loadouts so the weapons are preloaded, however after a restart, the guns are not loaded anymore. I created a ticket about this issue. Another bug is that it seems that after every flans mod update, loadouts don't save the right data. I think the issue with that is that is reads the id number instead of name, not sure. I will look into it later.

How stable is the latest dev build? When do you think it will pushed to recommended ? Also can i recommend a feature. Have a command that selects a specific loadout. For example there is a loadout called sniper, have a command like /mg loadout sniper to select it.Last edited Nov 13, 2014 by Prodkid

I laid my head on the desk fighting back tears. In one awful day I managed to question everything about my life. Feeling like a failure of a mother, I gathered my children buckled them into the car and drove.
It all started with the realization that the boys were overdue for a dental checkup. Seeing as how Lennon is almost 3, it seemed like a good time to also introduce him to the dentist. Ideally, I would have rather him been seen before now, but given his behavior during the course of 2013 to now, it didn't seem fair to unleash that on an unsuspecting hygienist.
Upon calling our local dental clinic, the receptionist greeted me with a very chipper voice and explained that the boys would all be new patients given the length of time since their last visit.
Questioning her logic, I asked about the date of their last checkup.
"January...2013,"she replied.
I gasped audibly and said "That can't be! I'll have to call you back."
In a panic I glanced through my planner from 2013 and all of 2014 and could not find another appointment where the boys had seen the dentist. In a tailspin, I could feel the weight of depression begin to sink in. The disbelief that I had allowed almost 2 years to pass since their last checkup. Mind you, they aren't great with their oral hygiene, so the dentist is our professional attempt at stellar hygiene. In my mind, as long as they are making those checkups twice a year, we're doing our best. Aside from that and certainly despite our best efforts, Hayden is prone to cavities and they're idea of brushing is more closely aligned with sloppily moving a toothbrush around their mouth while chewing on the bristles. I know it seems like a cliche' excuse, but as the exhausted mother of three, half of the time I forget to brush my own teeth, much less remember to brush theirs. I always make commitments that I should really try to do better and stay on top of them about brushing their teeth, but something always gets in the way and I forget. Mind you, I've never been stellar about my own dental health. I would love to live in a world where flossing was my number one priority, but sadly it's not. We remind them and always tell them to brush and they do, but the smell of their breath tells us they don't do such a great job. If it's really terrible we will intervene but most of the time we're simply both too tired to get up and actually put the brush in their mouth. I know, I know. I really don't need the lecture. But nevertheless, here I find myself in my office on a Tuesday fighting off the the depths of depression about my failure as a mother because I haven't been able to find the time to actually make an appointment to take my children to the dentist.
I flashed back to a month prior at Sebastian's parent teacher conference where his teacher informed me that he was behind in reading. Flashing back to the year prior when we really would have buckled down to do more reading with him and I recall many, many nights with Lennon screaming throughout bedtime and it taking both Chad and me to simply make it through those nights without shaking him. That sounds horrible, I know. As I sat there, still baffled that so much time had passed since their last visit, and recalled all the events looking back through my calendar and just how many doctors appointments Lennon had, it occurred to me that dental checkups were the last thing on my mind. Reading to my middle son was the last thing on my mind during that time.
And it made me sad all over again.
I know I can't change the fact that an entire year was taken from us, and my goodness I do know that in the scheme of things of what parents deal with, this is so minor. But I can't help but be sad for all that was lost. The effects are far-reaching, and we are still dealing with it.
I suppose the dentist was just the straw that broke the camel's back. But nevertheless, I found myself feeling that if I did not get them a dentist appointment that day all of their teeth would fall out of their mouth and we would be left with gummy smiles and dentured children.
So I set off to call around and find another dentist. In my mind, I cannot possibly face their last dentist which we have now been absent from for almost two years. Not to mention, they can't even see them until March. But seriously, the perceived judgment is just too much. I have always prided myself on managing to keep it together for the most part. I do struggle with feeling like I'm on the cusp of always falling apart, but somehow things stay together.
At this point, I feel it appropriate to respond to the question I get most often, which is "I just don't know how you do it all Kellye?" And to that I would answer that I don't. I just barely keep it together. It's in moments like this that I realize that I'm doing a terrible job of doing even that. I can't seem to even do the most basic thing like getting my children to the dentist twice a year. These are the thoughts in my mind anyway.
As I called around, I stumbled upon a clinic very close to our house and I got excited when I spoke to them and learned we had actually seen this dentist in 2009 but had not yet been back. Racking my brain to determine why on earth we would never have gone back, I came up empty so I called hopeful that this might be a winner. As if the light had broken at dawn from a terribly sleepless night, the kind woman on the other end of the phone responded that they could see all three boys that afternoon. Desperate and again feeling as if I was fighting a deadline not to let my children's teeth fall out of their mouth, I joyfully responded that we'd take it! It was only after that I realized we needed to get the insurance straight and perhaps that might have been the reason we did not return for another checkup post 2009.
I asked the lady to please run our policy number and call me back to let me know if they were a network provider. She promised that she would, but hours went by with time quickly winding down until our appointment and still no word from her. With approximately 30 minutes to go until their appointment, I called again to check. "Oh let me try again and I'll call you right back!" And she did...to let me know that yes, in fact, they were a network provider.
With exactly 18 minutes until their appointment I rushed out of my office in a hurry, arriving at the daycare at the time of their appointment. Literally running through daycare to collect my three children.
"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
"We're only 8 minutes late" I reassured myself and fighting the damning voice in my head that is appalled at tardiness. Slamming the car in park and unlocking the doors for the big kids to unload and FANTASTIC, Lennon is one less shoe, which I dig very quickly to find under the seat. Running into the office sweating, panting, and hair a mess, I announce that the Smiths are here!
With hope and relief, I look at the Receptionist, whose face begins to contort with obvious remorse. "I'm so sorry" she started, as I fought the urge to plug my ears and ignore what was to come next.
In some crazy coincidence, another Smith family had called earlier that day. They also with 3 children and also new patients, but with another insurance carrier and an appointment directly following ours.
When I called she assumed she was speaking to that lady, the answer to her question being yes, they were certainly a network provider. For our dental insurance, they were not a network provider. Questioning what the balance would be for each of my children it was clear to me that this was not going to work out. And it was then that I laid my head on her desk and really fought off the tears.
It seems so melodramatic, I realize, but also know that I've never claimed sanity and this day was just further evidence to the internal battle I've fought since the very first day I took Hayden to daycare so I could return to work. Being a working Mom is tough. Being a Mom is tough. Period. The end.

Blake Swihart tops Baseball America's list of top 10 Red Sox prospects
|10.29.14 at 10:13 am ET
Looking for a catcher in the minors to whom to compare Red Sox top prospect Blake Swihart?
"There isn't one," said one evaluator.
Swihart — an extremely athletic switch-hitter who shows well above-average defensive tools, the ability to hit the ball very, very hard on a fairly consistent basis (a skill that translates more often to doubles than homers given that he typically hits screaming liners instead of lofting the ball) and runs well heads the list of Baseball America's Top 10 Red Sox prospects for the 2015 season. (Disclaimer: I authored the list.)
Given the low standards for offense behind the plate, and the fact that he has a chance to be well above-average in every phase of the game, the 22-year-old stands the best chance of perhaps any Red Sox prospect of being a perennial All-Star. Some rough edges remain in his game (as evidenced by the fact that he walked just twice and struck out 15 times in a year-end stretch in Pawtucket after being promoted following a standout run in Double-A Portland), but the combination of a fairly well-defined floor as a big league starter with a ceiling that suggests the potential to be one of the top starting catchers in the game makes Swihart the Sox' top prospect.
(Note: Mookie Betts had too many big league at-bats to qualify for the list. Otherwise, he would have been the No. 1 prospect. #feats.)
Here's a look at Baseball America's full top 10 list, with their 2014 performance lines and links to stories about the prospects on WEEI.com:
1) Blake Swihart, C – Age 22
Triple-A Pawtucket: 18 games, .261/.282/.377, 1 HR
Double-A Portland: 92 games, .300/.353/.487, 12 HR
Other: Threw out 46 percent of would-be base stealers.

John Farrell: Notion that Red Sox coaches 'hate' Yoenis Cespedes 'completely unfounded'
|10.28.14 at 9:51 pm ET
Red Sox manager John Farrell, in an interview on SiriusXM's MLB Network Radio, made clear his displeasure with a New York Daily News report that cited a Red Sox insider in suggesting that all the members of the Red Sox coaching staff "hate" Cespedes.
"Totally surprised and completely off-guard," Farrell told the station of his reaction to the report. "It's unfortunate that a comment like that is made from elsewhere. We had two full months with Yoenis. I think you get a pretty good feel for a player or a person when you're around them every day for the length of time in a given day that we are. We know him to be one thing, and that is a guy that works well. He became a very good and strong performer in the middle of our lineup. We're happy he's here. We're certainly looking forward to building a lineup with him in the middle of it next year. Completely unfounded and kind of a shame that someone would write something like that because we see him and from what we know of him is completely 180 degrees from what was written."
Cespedes hit .269/.296/.423 with five homers in 51 games after the Red Sox acquired him from the A's in exchange for Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes. The 29-year-old is entering his final season of a four-year, $36 million contract that will make him a free agent after the 2015 campaign.
Red Sox OF Rusney Castillo likely done in Arizona Fall League; Puerto Rico in question
|10.28.14 at 3:27 pm ET
Red Sox outfielder Rusney Castillo, who suffered a bruised thumb and hand when getting jammed by a pitch on October 20 in the Arizona Fall League, remains sidelined, with the team and player working to determine the course of action for Castillo going forward this winter.
At this point, while multiple industry sources suggest that Castillo will simply need rest to treat the injury, a sidelining that was initially characterized as day-to-day has grown to the point where it's likely unrealistic that Castillo will continue play in the Arizona Fall League. Indeed, there is a chance that the 27-year-old will not play in the Puerto Rico Winter League, though a determination on that front has yet to be made by Castillo and Red Sox officials.
Castillo, who signed a contract in August that runs through 2020 for $72.5 million, is hitting .278 with a .333 OBP and .361 slugging mark with three doubles, three walks and six strikeouts in 39 plate appearances for the Surprise Saguaros. He was named to the AFL Rising Stars team.
He's up to a total of 125 plate appearances (39 in the AFL, 40 with the Red Sox in the big leagues, 46 in the minors after signing). The Sox had outlined a goal for Castillo of accumulating approximately 200 plate appearances by the time he concludes his first professional tour, though given his current time on the shelf, that goal may be in some jeopardy. The Caguas Criollos (the team for which Castillo is scheduled to play in Puerto Rico) open their schedule on Thursday.
Red Sox talking to Koji Uehara; qualifying offer unlikely
|10.28.14 at 9:59 am ET
Tick, tock. Free agency looms.
The World Series will conclude either on Tuesday night (if the Giants win) or on Wednesday (if the Royals win Game 6 to force a winner-take-all Game 7). Hours after baseball crowns its next champion — thus formally displacing the Sox from the titlist pedestal — free agency will commence officially.
With it, as of 9 a.m. EDT the day after the World Series, players eligible for the open market can start to engage in informal talks with all 30 baseball teams. Free agency begins with a so-called Quiet Period during which the only formal offers to a free agent can come from the team with which he finished the 2014 season; after five days, the other 29 teams can start discussing contract terms with players.
The Red Sox have a handful of free agents-to-be. Most notable among them is closer Koji Uehara.
Uehara was amidst a second straight year of brilliance, forging a 1.27 ERA while converting 26 of 28 save opportunities, through August 15 before his season hit a considerable pothole. In the span of six outings, he allowed 10 runs, two more than he allowed in his other 58 appearances of the year. Though he closed out the year with three scoreless appearances in the season's final three weeks, the blip essentially doubled Uehara's ERA from 1.27 to 2.52, the second-worst mark of his career as a full-time reliever.
Still, the Sox made little secret of the fact that, despite the fact that he's 39 and suffered some performance slippage, given the evident return of Uehara's stuff in those final few outings, they wanted to bring back the pitcher who was one of the cornerstones of the 2013 championship. The team wants late-inning strike-throwers with swing-and-miss stuff. Uehara clearly, dazzlingly, fits that bill. He is the only pitcher in big league history with four seasons (min. 30 innings) in which he has a strikeout-to-walk rate in excess of 10-to-1; no one else has more than two. His 9.0 strikeouts per walk in his career represent easily the best such ratio in big league history (min. 200 innings); Giants free agent-to-be Sergio Romo is second on the list with 5.5 strikeouts per walk.

Trying to make sense of Yoenis Cespedes' situation
|10.27.14 at 12:02 pm ET
October has not been kind to the public perception of Yoenis Cespedes.
Trade rumors. Surfaced concerns over his game. And now a report suggesting that not only would the Red Sox hesitate offering the four- to five-year deal they had been contemplating offering due to Cespedes' switch in agents, but that (according to a "Red Sox insider") "he marches to his own drum and the coaches all hate him." (To read the entire New York Daily News report, click here.)
Perhaps it's time to take a step back and look at the reality of Cespedes' situation.
When last we saw the Red Sox left fielder, he was catching a bit of heat for some poorly played balls in left field while finishing his two-month stint in Boston with five home runs, 33 RBIs, 48 strikeouts, seven walks, four stolen bases, a .269 batting average, a .296 on-base percentage and a .719 OPS.
His new fan base loved his arm and ability to supply a much-needed commodity for an offense devoid of timing — the ability to drive in runners when it counted, hitting .338 with a .907 OPS with two outs and runners in scoring position (for the season).
Cesepdes also seemingly supplied some additional protection for David Ortiz in the middle of the lineup, while possessing the much-needed skill set of being able to hit a baseball over the fence.
And, as was the case in Oakland, he was a popular figure in the Red Sox clubhouse among his teammates.
But there were other factors that didn't make a long-term commitment to the outfielder a no-brainer.
The initial issue came when, after the Red Sox publicly gushed about the notion that Cespedes would be using his excellent side-to-side speed in right field at Fenway Park, he never played a moment at the position. Instead, there were a few days of shagging balls next to Pesky's Pole before abandoning the workouts in right altogether.
Chili Davis: Yoenis Cespedes 'has greatness written all over him'
|10.23.14 at 9:45 pm ET
In a conference call introducing Chili Davis as the new Red Sox hitting coach, the former A's instructor talked about how he viewed one of his former player's in Oakland, Yoenis Cespedes.
Cespedes and Davis were together since the outfielder's arrival with the A's up until his trade to the Red Sox at the non-waiver trade deadline this past season.
"Cespy is a special player, just a very special player with a lot of talent," Davis said. "We saw that in Oakland and I'm sure that's why they brought him here from Cuba and put him right into the big leagues. Big game guy, loves the noise, loves the lights. I feel like we formed a relationship but we weren't quite finished building that relationship from the relationship we formed it wont be that difficult to pick up where we left off. As far as I'm concerned and I told him this to his face, he has greatness written all over him. He does. He does everything, he can run, throw, hit for power.
"It took him a while to get comfortable in Oakland as well but once he gets comfortable there there's no telling what he might put up in a season as a player. He's just, to me, I think he can be a great player. It's all up to him, whether or not he wants to be there. But I think he has the ability to be a great player."
Here are some of the other topics discussed on the call:
— John Farrell cited the organization's (and his own) familiarity with Davis and being a key in bringing him on board: "It goes back to the person Chili is. You all will get to know him firsthand. This is someone that, setting aside a great playing career, it's someone that cares about the individuals that he's working with ultimately to make them better and to make us better. You're talking about an incredible playing career, an incredible message, the person and the genuineness that Chili is, our players will feel that immediately. Some have already from their time in Pawtucket. It was the person that drew us to him, the experience we had with him back in 2011. We were teammates a number of years ago. Knowing him personally, knowing what our needs are here, this is an ideal fit with Chili joining our staff here in the organization." Read the rest of this entry »
Jackie Bradley Jr., Dustin Pedroia and Yoenis Cespedes finalists for AL Gold Glove
|10.23.14 at 5:58 pm ET
Three members of the Red Sox were named finalists for the 2014 Rawlings Gold Glove Award, which recognizes one player from each league at each position. Three-time winner Dustin Pedroia was named a finalist along with Robinson Cano of the Mariners and Ian Kinsler of the Tigers. Jackie Bradley Jr. was named a finalist in center field along with Adam Jones of the Orioles and Adam Eaton of the White Sox. And Yoenis Cespedes, acquired in midseason from the A's, is a finalist in left field, along with Michael Brantley of the Indians and reigning winner Alex Gordon of the Royals.
Fangraphs had Pedroia as the major league leader by a considerable margin in UZR. John Dewan's Plus/Minus system had Pedroia as second to Kinsler in both runs saved and defensive plays made above average.
Fangraphs had Bradley leading the American League, also by a significant margin, in UZR, while Dewan's system had Bradley behind only Leonys Martin of the Rangers in runs saved (14), but placed him behind Lorenzo Cain and Jarrod Dyson of the Royals as well as Eaton in plus/minus.
Though Fangraphs had Cespedes being below average in range, his howitzer of an arm permitted him to rank second in the AL (behind only Gordon) in UZR, according to Fangraphs. Dewan's runs saved system likewise pegged Cespedes as the second most impactful left fielder in the AL with 12 runs saved, behind only Gordon's 27.
Arguably short-changed as a nominee for the second straight year: Mike Napoli, who according to Dewan, ranked third in the AL to a pair of Orioles (Steven Pearce and Chris Davis) in first base runs saved and led the AL with 10 plays above average. Fangraphs pegged Napoli as having the third best UZR (behind Albert Pujols and Mark Teixeira) in American League UZR.

Decor of an old building tastefully done, combining the lovely, old dado rails etc with funky matching wallpaper, pictures and bedding. Good location by the marina. Best cooked breakfast ever eaten in a hotel!

Spring break has come to a close and so has the spring training trip for the MSU men's club crew team.
The team traveled to Clemson, S.C. for eight days of training before the start of the spring season. They hit a bit of a snag when the site for spring training froze over, forcing them to migrate down South where they faced off against the University of Alabama this past Saturday.
Twenty-four hours into the free agency period, the Detroit Lions made their first signing, and it was a big one.
The Lions agreed to a five-year, $31 million deal with former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate. $13.25 million of his deal is guaranteed money.
The regular season is finally over, and the fun can officially begin. March college basketball is perhaps the most entertaining basketball in the world, and we are right in the middle of it.

The Detroit Lions have clearly stated that they are in a win-now mode. Music to all Lions fans' ears, but how do they know next season will not be like last season? With free agency less than a day away and the draft knocking on their doors, the Lions need to start making some moves in order to become serious contenders. Here are the four keys to this offseason that I think the Lions should exercise:

Former UA linebacker Marquis Flowers selected by Bengals in 6th round
A third ex-UA player has found an NFL home via the 2014 draft.
The Cincinnati Bengals made linebacker Marquis Flowers their sixth-round selection (No. 212 overall), meaning he will join Ka'Deem Carey and Shaq Richardson on an NFL roster this summer.
Flowers moved from safety to linebacker after his sophomore season, and the move appears to have paid off.
Flowers was second on the UA defense as a senior with 93 tackles, and made a team-high 11 tackles for loss to go along with one sack. He also recorded an interception and recovered two fumbles.
