The Minnesota Timberwolves are making an 11th-hour push before Thursday’s trade deadline to try to reacquire Wolves legend Kevin Garnett in a swap that would send Thaddeus Young to Brooklyn, ESPN.com has learned.
Sources told ESPN.com the sides have engaged in serious discussions on the deal, which would ultimately require Garnett’s approval even if the teams agree before Thursday’s 3 p.m. deadline, since Garnett possesses one of the NBA’s six full no-trade clauses.
Posted onFebruary 16, 2015|Comments Off on Top cities in Minnesota cheating on their spouses
Have a hunch your spouse is banging someone else? If you live in one of these Minnesota metro area cities, you are probably right.
According to new information released by the wayward spouse hookup site, Ashley Madison, these cities are at the top of the list.
According to the site’s “membership per capita” numbers, 9.1 percent of the Twin Cities’ Ashley Madison accounts belong to Apple Valley residents, which is the highest percentage in the metro. Minnetonka clocks in at second with 8.8 percent.
The suburbs, in fact, occupy the top eight spots on the list. Here’s three through eight: 1. Apple valley (9.1 percent) 2. Minnetonka (8.8 percent) 3. Eagan (8.4 percent) 4. Woodbury (8.3 percent) 5. Maplewood (7.9 percent) 6. Orono (7.7 percent) 7. St. Louis Park (7.2 percent) 8. Eden Prairie (7.1 percent)
Urban locales finally appear on the list in the last two spots, with St. Paul’s Macalester-Groveland at ninth (6.8 percent) and Minneapolis’s classy Linden Hills neighborhood rounding things out (6.6 percent).
Of course, this is only based on their site users. Clearly there is a huge margin of error here with the number of folks hooking up through Facebook, craigslist, or a good old fashioned bar.
Fun fact: Ashley Madison has 26 million users and expects to bring in more than $120 million this year.

Apparently Josh Hartnett’s home in Minneapolis on Lake of the Isles is for sale. Take a look at the beautiful video his realtors developed to sell the home. Asking price? $2 million.2405 East Lake of the Isles Parkway, Minneapolis MN
Stanley Gordon West, one of the Twin Cities’ earliest self-publishers, died Wednesday morning at a Golden Valley nursing home from complications of Parkinson’s disease. He was 82.
West, who lived in Montana and more recently in Shakopee, worked mostly without an agent or publicist. His family estimates that he sold 100,000 books in his career.
I am very sad to hear he is gone. “Until They Bring the Streetcars Back,” was the first book I read of his and it was thrilling. Fans of the book can even cast characters from the book using real celebrities they envision onThe Bookcaster. It would be cool if this was made into a movie.
This is unbelievable. Just sickening. If you have a child at Prior Lake High School or live in the city, demand the district expel these bullies. Prior Lake High School Phone: (952) 226-8600
A Prior Lake father is calling out his daughter’s bullies on YouTube, Snapchat evidence and racist voicemails included.
In a nearly6-minute YouTube video, father Brad Knudson opens by saying his words aren’t scripted, but they’re emotional.
“We have a very beautiful African American daughter that we were very fortunate enough to adopt 11 years ago. We’ve dealt with a little bit of racism, you know, stares, things like that when she calls us mom or dad, but she didn’t notice so we just blew it off because it was directed towards us,” he says in the video.
However, on New Year’s Eve, Knudson says a set of twin freshman girls from Prior Lake High School sent his daughter a few Snapchats, smartphone video messages that disappear after they’re viewed. Knudson said his daughter’s friend, who was with her at the time, brought the incident to his attention, and upon receiving the fourth Snapchat, he and his wife recorded it with their own phones. In the Snap, the speaker calls the recipient “such a slut, “a n*****,” and a “fat a** b****.”
Upset and aware of the destructive behavior bullying can prompt, Knudson called the twins’ parents, left messages on their home phone, went to their house, but couldn’t get in touch with them. Then, he went to the police. Police at Prior Lake High School apparently talked to the girls and the parents, who issued their cell phone number. Knudson called the twins’ father, Deron Puro, who told Knudson the explicit language was commonly used around his house and didn’t think much of it, Knudson says in his YouTube video.
A voicemail, apparently from Puro, said the following:
“Yeah, Brad, tides have turned, huh? I guess you’re n***** lover. Call me back.”
He called back, told Puro he planned to post about their correspondence, and Puro allegedly told him that was fine.
The Knudsons want to put an end to racist bullying and the emotional damage it can cause.
“I just had to get this off my chest, I just don’t know what to do, other than say I love my daughter and I don’t want her committing suicide because of this,” Knudson said.
