Injuries, form, fortune and politics can all conspire to destroy the careers of some of the best players and that has been the case in recent years for some of the forgotten men in the game.
Gregory van der Wiel
The Netherlands international was once coveted by some of Europe's biggest teams as he rose to prominence with Ajax. Paris Saint Germain snapped him up in the summer of 2012 and was seen by Carlo Ancelotti as a vital piece in PSG's puzzle alongside superstars Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Tiago Silva, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Javier Pastore.
However, he has seen his stock fall to an all time low, as Christophe Jallet has been preferred for PSG at right back and Ricardo van Rhijn usurping his master for the Oranje. At 25, he is at his peak yet the Dutchman has regressed in what has been a concerning 12 months.
Taye Taiwo
The Nigerian powerhouse spent 6 impressive years with Marseille and his move to AC Milan in 2011 was supposed to allow him to fulfil his potential but since leaving the Stade Velodrome, his career has gone into free fall.
Having made a meagre 4 league appearances for the Rossoneri and being loaned out to QPR last season as well as being loaned again to Dynamo Kiev this season, the left back has seen his career descend into the sunset at just 27. His exclusion from the Nigerian squad that was victorious at the 2013 African Cup of nations sums up his fall from grace.
Wesley Sneijder
The Dutchman recently signed for Turkish giants Galatasary after seeing his Inter Milan career fall apart. This was a man who was once the best midfielder in the world having led Internazionale to treble glory in 2009/2010 and scoring 5 goals in the 2010 World Cup on route to the final. Many believe he should have claimed the ballon d'or in 2010, as he was integral to successes at club and international level.
At 28, he is at the peak of his powers and yet he is plying his trade in a league with all due respect that does not do justice to his talents and capabilities. His fall from world-beater to bench warmer at Inter Milan and now big fish in a small pond at Galatasary is a sad indictment.
Michael Essien
"The Bison" as he is known as, was once one of the most dynamic midfielders in the world who was particularly exceptional as a defensive midfielder. His strength and boundless energy in midfield coupled with a rocket right foot endeared him to Chelsea supporters as he successfully succeeded Claude Makelele in the anchorman role.
However, the Ghanaian has been hampered by constant injuries that has blighted the latter years of his career and thus he has lost his position in the Blues' starting line up. His loan to Real Madrid which united him with former Manager Jose Mourinho, has not reignited a career that is now destined to drift into the twilight as Chelsea look to the future with several midfield options already at their disposal.
Andre Pierre Gignac
The Frenchman's big money move from Toulouse to Marseille was seen as a masterstroke as Les Phoceens landed one of France's most promising strikers. Having played in all three of France's games in the 2010 World Cup, he was seen as one to fight it out with Karim Benzema to succeed Thierry Henry for Les Bleus.
However, Gignac has not lived up to the billing having scored just twice in all of last season and has only found the nine times in the league this season. Add to that, he has been completely overlooked at international level in recent years as Benzema's game scales to new heights and the likes of Olivier Giroud and Jeremy Menez are preferred in attack.
The powerful Brazilian international was one of the most prolific forwards in the world during his spell at Porto and attracted heavy attention from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City who were prepared to splash the cash. Neither ended up with his signature as Hulk moved to Zenit Saint Petersburg for a whopping 40 million Euros.
The heavy price tag has certainly taken its toll has Hulk has been immensely disappointing despise signs of promise having played just 9 of Zenit's 19 league games and netting just 6 times in all competitions. One imagines what could have been if he moved elsewhere, as the anonymity of the Russian Premier League has left the former Porto man in the wilderness.
The former Internazionale right back laid legitimate claims as the best in his position as his emphatic runs down the flanks and moments of sheer magic steered Inter to a treble in 2009/2010 as well as numerous other honours. Having kept out Dani Alves at the 2010 World Cup such is his high regard as right back; the Brazilian was a mainstay at the San Siro for 6 years.
His recent switch to Manchester City has been a major disappointment as he has made just league appearances despite a long-term injury to Micah Richards as Pablo Zabaleta's great form has left Maicon as a benchwarmer. He will be 32 come the summer and therefore he is over the hill, and his move to the Etihad Stadium has done him no favours as he looks to end his career on a high.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - The man charged with killing the 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has bonded out of a South Dakota jail.
The Minnehaha County Jail in Sioux Falls says 27-year-old Joseph Robert Patterson is no longer housed there.
His attorney, Tim Rensch, confirmed Patterson's release and says there are no conditions on it, but Patterson plans to stay in the area and defend himself.
Patterson's bond was reduced to $750,000 on Monday, so he had to post $75,000.
He's charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault and aggravated battery in the death of Tyrese Robert Ruffin.
Patterson is the boyfriend of Tyrese's mother.
Peterson had just recently found out that Tyrese was his son.

Whether you own a beachfront home or a family farm, our team at NCF can help you turn your valuable property into help for the poor, Bible translations, or anything else God is calling you to support. By giving real estate before the sale, instead of writing checks to charity, you'll improve your cash flow, reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes, and send more to your favorite causes.
Often using what's in your hand instead of what's in your wallet can make a huge difference when it comes to giving. Never has that lesson been more true than the story of Austin and Rhoda Heise, a Midwest couple who were able to give almost a half a million more to charity by using their farm land instead of cash. "We knew that we eventually wanted it to go to Kingdom work," Rhoda noted, "but with the needs all around us so great, we said, 'Why wait?'" Read their powerful story in our one-page PDF.

According to a study done by Randall Dale Chipkar, author of Motorcycle Cancer?, the vibrations caused by modern motorcycles do not cause impotence, erectile dysfunction disorder, or cancer.
Let's all breath a collective sigh of relief.
However, Chipkar postulates in his book that while the vibrations and pressure from the seat do not cause these medical problems, the electromagnet fields coming from the bike's electronics do. Luckily, Chipkar has a solution for us concerned motorcyclists, an electromagnetic shielding motorcycle seat, which he also just so happens to hold the patent on. According to the book, the electrical components a motorcycle generate an electromagnetic field, which in turns causes all sorts of problems in the male baby-making area.
At least now motorcyclists can cite a book when someone accuses them of compensating for something.

Lady Vega
The Lady Vega is an Inquistadore Dragonhead Cruiser. It was commanded by Captain Roberto during Operation Mastercutor where it was disabled when the bridge was destroyed. However, the forces of Koincidence ended up sending the ship and its crew back in time to a battle with the Assyrian Star Empire and the Akkadian Empire. When it emerged from the warp, the Lady Vega was significantly changed. It had an extra Heavy Laser Cannon and was equipped with powerful Hex Shields as well as some other cosmetic changes. After this improvement it would be referred to as the Lady Vega II.
The Lady Vega II emerged from the warp near an ASE space station which was under attack by the Akkadians. She assisted in destroying the station and the defending fleet, but once again Koincidence intervened and so the final outcome of the battle is not known, but it is presumed that the ship survived.

Goose Creek's talent pipeline to the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas continues to flow.
For the third straight year, the Gators have two players selected to play in the oldest all-star high school football game in the nation. Running back Caleb Kinlaw and defensive end/tight end Kalan Ritchie have been chosen for this year's 77th annual showcase scheduled for Dec. 21 at Wofford's Gibbs Stadium in Spartanburg.
The game features the top 44 seniors from South Carolina against their counterparts from North Carolina.
Kinlaw has committed to play for Georgia Tech, while Ritchie is headed for Columbia to play for South Carolina.
Kinlaw and Ritchie had key roles in the Gators' Division II-AAAA state championship in 2011. Both players are on a team that has won 32 straight games on the playing field.
"Both guys have been a big part of our program," Goose Creek coach Chuck Reedy said. "Both are very deserving of their Shrine Bowl status. Only two from the same team can make it, so we see this as a reflection of our program."
Kinlaw has rushed 89 times for 758 yards and 13 touchdowns. He is on pace to rush for at least 1,000 yards for the third straight year.
Ritchie is a tight end who is used primarily as a blocker. He is seeing more and more action at defensive end and was recently named The Post and Courier's defensive player of the week after recording 15 tackles (four for a loss and two sacks) in a victory over Dutch Fork.
Two other local players were selected to play in the game. Stratford star Jacob Park, one of the top quarterbacks in the nation, was named to the squad. He has committed to play for the Georgia Bulldogs. Wando standout Nolan Kelleher will help anchor the South Carolina offensive line. He has committed to play for the Florida Gators.
Park has guided the Knights to a 6-0 record. He was a star at the Elite 11 Quarterback Camp, and has passed for 1,826 yards and 17 touchdowns this season.
Kelleher was one of the most recruited linemen in the South when he ended the recruiting process this summer.
Hilton Head defensive lineman Poona Ford and Bluffton defensive lineman Keith Ford will also play for the Sandlappers.
Last year, South Carolina, coached by Stratford's Ray Stackley, posted a 23-19 victory to take a 42-30-4 lead in the series that dates back to 1937.
Orangeburg-Wilkinson's Tommy Brown will coach the Sandlappers. Burton Cates of Lee County is the coach of the North Carolina squad.

WASHINGTON The waters aren't getting any calmer for General Motors and its new chief executive, Mary Barra.
The Detroit automaker's long-delayed recall of 2.6 million Chevy Cobalts, Saturn Ions and four other models now is the subject of investigations by the U.S. attorney's office in New York, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, two congressional subcommittees and a yet-to-be-identified state attorney general's office.
The SEC inquiry and the Justice Department investigation, described by The Detroit News as leading to federal grand jury subpeonas, were divulged as part of the company's upbeat quarterly earnings report filed with the SEC on Thursday.
The fallout over the ignition switch defects, which have been blamed for at least 13 deaths and more than 30 crashes, has seemed to grow by the day despite the company's pledges of full cooperation with all of the investigative bodies, in keeping with Barra's declaration that the new GM will do things "the right way."
Essentially, the investigations and a deluge of lawsuits share this common theme: that GM allegedly hid defects in the vehicles from consumers, regulators and even shareholders for years, through the company's near financial collapse, its bailout by federal taxpayers and its turnaround under a corporate board dominated by U.S. Treasury Department designees, even as the carnage from vehicle crashes mounted. Barra says she didn't learn of the problems until Jan. 31st, shortly before a series of recalls began.
In its SEC filing, General Motors said it's been named the defendant in 60 class-action suits alleging economic harm to consumers from the defects, including five suits brought in Canada. The company said it will "vigorously defend" itself against all of the suits.
One suit, filed on April 11 in Georgia, alleges that the company intentionally and fraudulently concealed facts surrounding the switch from regulators for years, leading to a 2009 Cobalt crash that caused brain injuries to 17-year-old Haley Van Pelt.
In addition, several state and federal court suits allege that GM's directors breached their fiduciary duty to shareholders by failing to monitor the underlying issues leading to the recall, failing to timely disclose the problem to stockholders and for wasting corporate assets.
One key issue will be how General Motors, guided by disaster-fund guru Kenneth Feinberg, will choose to deal with victims, given that some of the fatalities and injuries occurred before the firm's 2009 federal bankruptcy filing, a move that usually shields companies from paying damages for events before it sought court protection from its creditors. However, in announcing the retention of Feinberg, Barra said he would guide the firm in how to compensate victims, and GM hasn't ruled out any action.
Another big issue will be how far the Justice Department might go in seeking criminal sanctions, just weeks after inking an unprecedented, $1.2 billion criminal settlement with Japanese giant Toyota over similar concealment of defects that caused gas pedals in Lexuses and other models to stick to the floor at full throttle.
Several media outlets have reported that senior company executives have begun hiring attorneys.
Barra told a congressional panel in early April that Anton Valukas, a former U.S. attorney for Chicago whom she hired to conduct an internal investigation, should be finished within a few weeks. Shortly after Valukas began his inquiry, two company engineers were placed on paid leave, including Ray DeGeorgio, who signed a 2006 order for a redesign of the ignition switch without changing the part number.
An engineer assisting the family of a Georgia fatality victim of a 2010 Cobalt crash last year discovered that the part had changed. DeGeorgio, however, denied knowing about any changes in sworn testimony in the family's lawsuit.

Yard Built gets Handmade in Taiwan with Rough Crafts XJR1300 'Guerilla Four'
The celebrations of the Yamaha XJR1300's 20th anniversary step up a gear with a stunning new build from first time collaborator Rough Crafts. Taiwanese builder Winston Yeh joins the Yard Built family with breath taking take on the iconic street bruiser, creating an even tougher, meaner, stripped back machine.
"The Yard Built concept is always moving forward," comments Yamaha Motor Europe Product Manager, Shun Miyazawa. "We have been privileged to work with not just the best custom builders in the world, but importantly builders who are doing something original, pushing boundaries with a distinct style. The Yard Built XJR1300 'Guerilla Four' is no exception with the Rough Crafts signature, a sleek, stripped back creation that really stands out."
Winston's custom building process is unique, having designed the bike virtually, he then works with a select number of artisan craftsmen to hand make every custom part and finish for the build. Making use of traditional metal workshops, painters, anodizers and fabricators on the streets of Taipei, the final result truly reflects the Rough Crafts ideal, 'Handmade in Taiwan'.
Without any cutting or welding to the frame, Winston created the 'Guerilla Four' by adding a mixture of Rough Crafts designed components as well as incorporating pieces from other high level custom builders. The tough mean look of the front end was achieved by replacing the front shocks with those from the Yamaha VMAX, these were shortened by 100mm and the caliper mounts modified for 11.5inch discs. Rough Crafts custom-made triple trees keep everything together at the top and all instrumentation is removed for a super clean look.
The massive Coker Beck Style tyres wrap around Roland Sands BOSS Black Ops rims and the standard exhaust runs out to a Rough Crafts custom tail pipe.
The bike was beautifully painted in black with matching pin striping and Rough Crafts logo by Taipei's top custom sprayer Air Runner Custom Paint. All metal fabrication was undertaken by local talent OneHandMade Customs whilst Anodizing took care of the chroming and plating work.
Rough Crafts custom foot pegs, Fighter handle bars and Fin Style risers add to the finish and an ISR braking system in black sets it off. A Rough Crafts custom designed headlight grill, velocity stacks, fuel tank, seat and tail section create a stunning slimmer line and the custom fuel cap finishes it off perfectly.
A selection of parts from the 'Guerilla Four' will be available for XJR owners who want to personalize their own machines.

I don't want to hear any more griping about the Phillies' offense. The bats are hardly bulletproof, but the pitching is so bad right now, complaining about not getting in guys from third feels like a waste of time. When you give up 11 runs, you're not going to win many games. When your bullpen is the worst in the league and consists almost entirely of minor league arms, you aren't going to win many games. Kyle Kendrick is currently offering up the latest in a long line of poor starting pitching efforts. He gives up two bombs and five runs before a Phillie even stepped in the batter's box.
This was to be a pretty big game this afternoon. A win means a 6-4 home stand, which sounds an awful lot better than 5-5. If you can go 6-4, you can talk yourself into a positive frame of mind. A .500 record feels like a wasted week and a half. Of course, two days ago the Phils were sitting at 5-3 on the home stand and faced with an interesting decision. Should they call up an arm, any arm, from the minor leagues to start the game, or should they turn it over to the bullpen. There was no obvious choice in the minors, but the Phillies possess the worst bullpen in the NL. They had to come back today with an ice-cold Kyle Kendrick. It's almost like they didn't want to acknowledge the likely outcome.
You could say the same thing in regard to the decision to call up Jeremy Horst and Brian Sanches. The Phillies sent Joe Savery back to AAA and designated Chad Qualls for assignment. That's fancy baseball speak for, "we can't trade you and we don't want you." Qualls could end up in Lehigh, or he could be gone. Either way, his role of setting 7th innings on fire will fall to someone else. It likely won't be Horst or Sanches, both of whom feel like a couple of new crash test dummies straight from the box. The Phillies aren't really hoping that these guys are going to turn into reliable setup men, are they?
I'm sure they're not, but it's just reflective of how few options they have right now. The combination of injuries (Stutes, Contreras, Herndon) and ineffectiveness (Qualls, Savery, Schwimer) has the Phils searching for an answer that might not exist within the organization. So, if they don't make a deal or two, they might start sending guys with JUGGS guns around to your local ball field. Work on your breaking pitches.

Don't know if any of you have had a go at this. I came across it yesterday, its by Slitherine. The base game, which includes a 'Boot Camp' campaign to play through, is free. So I thought, why not if its free.
http://slitherine.com/products/516/deta ... rld.War.II
I haven't played a game like this in a while, but it was fun to play. Something different, slightly retro, but fun.
You can download the base game on steam.

A suspicious mail parcel led to a quarantine of the Hood River Post Office for more than three hours on Friday afternoon.
Although HAZMAT specialists from Gresham found the package to contain only a dead trout, City Police Chief Tony Dirks said what appeared to have been intended as a private prank ended up costing the public thousands of dollars.
"Two years ago we would have just cut the package open and found the fish but after Sept. 11 we learned to take extra precautions because the ramifications could be devastating," Dirks said.
Hood River Postal Supervisor Mike Winder said with the shutdown of business from 2-5 p.m., the post office lost about $2,500 in retail sales alone. He said that since outgoing mail was delayed until Saturday, the effect on other area businesses was unknown.
Dirks said both the city police and fire departments incurred overtime costs to bring in additional personnel for coverage. In addition, he said the state will pick up the expensive tab for HAZMAT team services.
"We had to take extra measures with this situation because in this day and age we didn't know what the substance could have been," said Hood River Fire Marshal Devon Wells.
Following new heightened security procedures, Winder called city police about 2 p.m., immediately after workers noticed a "smelly and bloody" liquid oozing out of a package. The fluid had seeped onto other correspondence.
The parcel is believed to have been dropped off at the downtown post office between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
"There's always the potential for anything to go through the mail and this was definitely a suspicious article," said Winder, who admits the possibility of biological contamination loomed largely in his mind as he donned protective gloves.
Since there was no return address on the parcel, which was addressed to a Corvallis resident, police immediately cordoned off the premises and called the Hood River Fire Department. The five staffers on the premises were directed to remain inside until the HAZMAT team cleared them to leave. The 12 outside mail carriers were then asked to park their vehicles across the street and were prevented from delivering their collections inside.
Winder said the postal heaquarters in Denver then called to inquire about the problem and alerted postal inspectors about the situation.
"Something this serious gets a quick response all the way up the line," he said.
Dirks said the intended recipient in Corvallis was alerted about the contents of the parcel. He said the wrapper was saved and an investigation into the incident is underway.
About 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 6, the HAZMAT team had finished decontaminating the affected mail and finally allowed the postal workers to go home.
Winder said in 30 years of experience with the U.S. Postal Serivce he has never dealt with such a "strange" situation. However, he acknowledged that times have changed with the emerging possibility that terrorists could use chemical or biological warfare against American citizens.
"That thought just shot right to the top of my mind," he said.

Mention The Federal to any fan of the western Massachusetts dining destination and chances are the response will contain the phrase "risotto balls," probably punctuated by a lustful groan.
The 10-year-old Agawam restaurant is known for its imaginative and playful cuisine, but the bucket of globes dusted with Parmesan and drizzled with truffle butter is by far its signature appetizer. With the November opening of Vinted Wine Bar in West Hartford's Blue Back Square by Federal's owners Ralph Santaniello and Michael Presnal, the risotto balls – and much more – have made their way to Connecticut.


text: SDavis35 140 Report post Posted April 10, 2013 During the course of this season there have been several posters who have criticized this team's Coach, GM, Owner and all of the players (if not most of them). So, it got me to wondering: Why do you cheer for the Red Wings? For me, I cheer for this team because of the character of the organization. From Illitch to Holland to Babcock and all the players. There is something about the members of the organization that seems to come across as competitive, yet humble. We have had some great players and some great success, and now in facing adversity, the players, Babcock, Holland and Illitch all seem to still be focused on winning. So why do you root for the Red Wings? 3 Rivalred, Vladifan and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
