Ghost Of The Forsaken LandAt the end of the world I wait.Unaffected by time.I have been here for many eonsdreaming of a foe who can slay me.Many have come during the agesMost seeking power, wealth, fame or glory.They have all met me in battle.They have all met their ends.A graveyard of swords, plagues the once beautiful gardens of this temple, oh so grand.It's so cold and lonely in this forgotten land.Around me everything is barren and empty -Faded with time, thanks to man.In this city almost non-existentI sit on my throne of ruin.My head leaning against my ancient blade.I close my eyes and try to remember the distant past -When this land was thriving.When I was still truly alive.Still happy, still smiling.I fought, I lived, I loved like any man before meBut fate was cruel -I lost the one most precious to me.The gods were crueler -Refusing my prayers and pleas to save my family from horrible disease.In the end, the world was the cruelest -The greed of men destroyed my beautiful city.Th
Moonlight DarknessCold and empty is the road I travel on.Not a ray of the moon's light to direct my lost soul.I look around only to find loneliness, sadness and sweet melancholy, as I walk an empty road."Where is the light?""Where should I go?"I ask for an answer, yet receive silence, louder than any cry.I want it to end."Someone guide me!""Someone save me!"Alone in the cold I yell, as I continue walking on my endless dark road.I wonder, was I just living not to die?All i have ever recalled seeing was the darkness.My eternal friend and foe.Only dreaming of catching a glimpse of the moon's radiant light.I'm trapped in this dark prison, constantly looking back on my journey."Curse this destiny so cruel!""Will this pain end anytime soon?"I believe my hope faded long ago, as my dreams never came true."Why do I live?""Why do I keep moving forward?"Many times I've wondered.Now I can't take it anymore."That's enough.""I give up!"I'm tired.I can't go on any further.I stop walking, and
A Writer's Romance-"You're a writer, aren't you?"Those were the first words she spoke to me.At the time, I was packing up, getting ready to leave the library.I had another long day, spending the majority of my free time at the library, loitering around on my laptop,Staring at my open wordpad as I contemplated about what to write about.Just as I was readying to leave this girl, out of nowhere, asks me if I'm a writer.-"I like to think I am."-That's the only answer I could give her.I had taken up writing as a hobby,But no matter how hard I tried, all of my work felt underwhelming.-"Please...Could I get you to help me write a poem?If that is too much trouble than anything else will do too."-She starred at me with her big blue eyes,Long golden hair,Holding her hands together at her chest -She was quite pretty at that,Making me question why such a person would come up a complete stranger such as myself, and ask for something so absurd.-"Why do you need something like that?"-That's truthful
Letter of a DreamerThe ship sails away,Eventually escaping my sight in the far away horizon.I am left stranded on this small island.Alone.Left here to die for believing in my own ideals.For standing up, when I was told to stay down.Oh, the Capitan of that ship called "Life" was so cruel.Always making everyone out to be a worthless tool.Looking back -This path of misery was set up by a mother, named "Fate"And by my father, named "Time".My mother told me this was the path I had to take,even if it wasn't by my own choice.My father tried to comfort me, by telling me that the years would pass by quickly.After which, I'd finally be free to die peacefully.Without much choice, I accepted what was laid before me.I boarded the ship and set sail for my so called destiny.It turns out my father lied -The year's passed by slowly.The ship traveled through all of world's ports -There was always something new to see at least.But, Whenever I took a second to catch my breath on one of those many ports,
A Train Passing By-"It's hot..."-Those were the words I spoke out as the scorching summer sun shined down upon me from every angle accompanied by the loud cries of cicadas.The asphalt road, which radiated the heat back up towards me, made it all the more unbearable, as I stood at the bus stop in the middle of nowhere.Waiting for the bus to come and take me somewhere.I at least find myself accompanied by the beautiful sight of the lush green fields in front of me as well as the sea, which I know exists in the far away horizon.I have been standing patiently, by the "Bus Stop" sign for hours on end,Without an idea as to when the bus might arrive.In spite of all of this, I can't help but hear from time to time, a train passing by somewhere off in the distance, even though I know there are no rails anywhere nearby.It at least reminds me of why I was going on this journey,Bringing forth the memories of this morning:Awoken by the sound of that very same trainTo find myself once again alone in my hom
A Burning Letter-Hey! Thank you for the invitation to your wedding! I'm really looking forward to the big day....-Those are the words I'd like to say, but I just can't bring myself to do so.I'm still trapped in the past...Still remembering the first time we met:Sitting in my seat, "doodling" from the boredom,Subconsciously wondering what the hell I was doing with my life.The lecture had come to an end without me noticing,That is until you popped your head in from of me:-Hey, stop daydreaming! Class is over.-I still remember how idiotic I looked with my surprised face.After all until that time no one had really talked to me, but yet there you were giggling for some reason after taking a look at me and my notebook.Truth is, I got angry at first because I thought you were one of those people who found me a "sad sight"A loner at the time I guess you can't really blame me,That is until the comment which followed:-You should pay more attention in class, instead of doodling, though truth is, I
A Dark Room DreamLooking around the room,I could barely see anything.The fireplace offered too little lighting to illuminate what seemed to be a massive room.I make out some shapes, but still I had no guess as to what they really were.The only thing I could see for sure were the two armchairs – the one "He" and I were sitting on.I always find him sitting back in his armchair with one leg crossed over the other.I've only ever seen him wear a black suit, which made it even harder for me to make him out in this darkness.From time to time, I would find myself in this room, speaking to the old gentleman sitting across from me.It most often happened after I've had an unpleasant experience.He would only ask me about my problems, whenever I came around.Never telling me anything about himself.For some reason I never felt the need to question this place or this unknown man -It seemed irrelevant,As long as he was willing to listen to my pain.He had, at least, always been a good listener.Telli
A Stranger In The RainI remember one dark, rainy night,Meeting a stranger without a name.The heavens were literally pouring.I had just left my favorite bar,When I first saw him -Wearing his expensive black suit without a rain coat or umbrella.He was leaning against a nearby alley wall, flicking his lighter.It seemed as though he was waiting for something to happen.Suddenly, despite the rain,The lighter created a perfect dark orange flame.He lit himself a cigar,Inhaling with great pleasureThen exhaling the smoke in the shape of O'sSmiling.Watching them disperse with glee.I proceeded to be on my way, walking right past him.He then spoke:"Wonderful night isn't it?"I knew nothing good would come out of me talking to him,but for some reason I felt compelled to answer his simple question."If you enjoy the rain, then I would say it is."I proceeded to walk away, but his answer drew my attention:"This is my favorite type of weather!I like to think that when it rains, the sins of the world get
The False HeroI lean back against the doorAs I watch him take a deep breathFor a moment or two it looks like he isn't sure anymoreBut soon enough he steadies his breathI have known for a long time I'd live to see this day -The day I send him off to warAs a child, he kept telling me about how he wanted to become a "hero", like the ones in all of those glorious stories.But as he grew up, he found out that those kinds of "heroes" didn't really exist.Yet, he foolishly did not give upHe still wanted to be a "hero"Instead of being someones knight in shining armorHe settled with being some nations` puppet solider.I couldn't help but think he was out of his mindBut looking into his eyes I saw a hardened resolveA resolve which could only lead him down a dark roadGoing to war meant protecting some people, while killing othersWhether it be right or wrong...Then again, that to him was the definition of a "hero"For it, he would do what needed to be doneStill, he was not doing it for any man or
I Still Love YouI'm sorry I'm not perfectI'm sorry I can only tryBut it hurts when you get angryAnd you don't say whyYou look at me in tearsSometimes you almost shoutThe frustration you bring upon meThe anger you bring outI'm mad because I careI want nothing more than to see you smileI just want to helpAnd believe meI'll be here a whileWhen you cryMy eyes tear at the seamsWhen you're sadRain clouds haunt my dreamsBut when you laugh or smileMy lips curl up tooYou still just make me so happy, I only wish I could expressHow much I still love you.
A letter to past loves.Dear Boy number 1,you turned my world upside down,changed green into red and smiles to tears.Who would've thought thatyour teasing and your games wouldplant a fear into my bones, so strong thatI still cannot shake it?Dear Boy number 2,I don't think about you anymorebut I don't think about you any less, either.Your love consumed me andpushed me to the edge of insanity.We were fire one second, ice the next,battle wounds were inflicted just to get a taste of blood.We were right in all the wrong ways, but to you,holding another was second nature.Dear Boy number 3,you only ever touched mein the dark alleys of town,out of sight, but you were neverout of my mind.Your kisses were new and sloppy,and your hands left bruiseson my chilled skin.My friends said you were bad for me, butI fell in love with your eyes of coal.Dear Boy number 4,you are just great. And that's the thing.You are everything I could wish for, butI want someone to

A Taste for TextA book is but a sweet escapeTo pick you off your feetAnd when it starts to pull you inYou're in for such a treatFor in the pages of a bookThe world becomes a newAnd anything that happensMay be happening to youAnything is possibleThe plot with twist and turnIn the end, you'll find your wayThere's so much more to learnFor in-between the textWe all may find ourselvesAnd every hero or villainNot merely descriptions on shelvesBut a reflection of the good and bad we bury in ourselvesAnd when one is defeatedThe other will prevailBut who will win the influenceHe is not decided in the tale.But within the heart, within the textThe words that touch us mostWill always lead us to hold onTo pick our favorite host.
FriendlessThere's a little boy who walks to school,Nobody knows his name.No matter what he tries to do,It is always the same.He keeps up with all the trends,He knows them inside out.Each one he pulls off perfectly,Even that selfie-photo pout.Each week he brings a box of muffins,Though nobody knows why.He used to try and hand them out,Now he doesn't even try.He shares the muffins with the crowsand eats them one by one.For consuming that much sugar,He sure looks miserable when he's done.He looks down at the empty boxand you see a little smile.The crows fly off and he lies down;They'll all be full for quite a while.The same routine, every week,I think so that he can pretend,That in the year that he's been here,He's made at least one friend.©lonewolfpuppy
The Girl Who Was Born LostOnce upon a time,A girl was born without a mother or a father,Into a world which had stopped moving forward long ago.She was found and raised by a nameless old man, who lived at the end of the world.There stood castles and cities abandoned by mankind and forgotten by time.The land itself was a relic of some distant past, covered in a shade of melancholic gray.In that land, time flowed in a distorted way.This in term, made the child grow up rather quickly.Curious about her surroundings,She left the house everyday, to explore and play in the ruins, which laid scattered along the wastes.She had always known this distinct sense of solitude, never having seen another human being- Her only friends being the ravens, which were strangely drawn to her.Flying in flocks, they always surrounded her wherever she wentObediently watching,Waiting for something to unfold.The girl knew nothing about the old man or much less about herself.She from time to time would ask him, but he would n

Description: K2 T1 Snowboard Boots
The hard-charging K2 T1 snowboard boot is built with a stiff flex and Endo construction for more responsive return to neutral position and durability for long-lasting performance. The T1 features a Boa liner with K2s CONDA System, which lets you adjust your liner from outside the boot. Just a quick pull or release and youre on your way. The T1 boot also features K2s Harshmellow technology, built into the insert. Harshmellow targets pressure areas to reduce vibrations, leg fatigue and reduce the effects of harsh landings, all of which gives you more energy to ride longer, feel better and recover quicker. If you mean serious business and want serious responsive, stiff flex, the K2 T1 might be your second love (besides your board of course); you should definitely introduce them.

Kevin Allen's Italia'90 World Cup video diary
Gary Lineker announced at a press conference on September 21 that he will retire at the end of the J-League's second stage.
He left like a thief in the night, slipping out of Italy via Rome airport in the early hours of April 2, 1991. For once, Diego Armando Maradona's return to his native Buenos Aires was not accompanied by a blaze of publicity.
For Kubala, the last European Cup Final was almost certainly the greatest disappointment of a long and honour packed career.
Forget the World Cup. Never mind the European Championship. Wave goodbye to the European Champions' Cup, the Cup-winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup. They're passé. History. Yesterday's news.
Referees do not need the help of television sets, video replays or any other modern gadgets to help them make decisions.
No doubt about it Ajax have been the surprise team in this season's Champions League. After three years away from Europe's leading club competition, few expected the Dutch champions to reach the quarter-finals at the expense of other, wealthier sides such as Arsenal and Roma.
After next year's summer interval, association football in West Germany will be completely reorganised.
How many more times can the tattered reputation of Internazionale of Milan be called into question before the Italian federation take special powers to investigate in depth this most controversial of European clubs?
Gianni Rivera's 89th minute winner against Brescia at San Siro on March 31, 1968, secured for AC Milan the ninth Italian championship in their history, for this win gave them a nine-point lead at the top of the league and with only four games left to play they could not be caught.
Not many years ago "talent" was everything, and given reasonable fitness and the will to win, a talented player could be relied upon to win matches and pull in big crowds.
It's 1977.....
Since the great Kocsis, Hidegkuti, Puskas team of the nineteen-fifties broke up; Hungarian football fans have been looking to young stars to re-establish Budapest among the Continent's football centres.
David Beckham lingered longest on the Old Trafford pitch after Manchester United's aggregate defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals. He will have no doubt been reflecting on his role in a most remarkable European Cup tie. But he may also have been reaching the inevitable conclusion that his lifelong love affair with Manchester United is coming to a close.
It seems fairly certain now that FIFA will bring in legislation during 1966 to prohibit charging the goalkeeper. In effect, an unwritten law to this extent is already in force throughout the Continent and South America. Thus, Britain alone will be affected.
Somewhere along the line there had to be a calming influence, for the draw for the World Cup Finals in London early in January threw the domestic soccer season into something of a panic.
Barcelona's Camp Nou is as awesome as ever, its tiers rising endlessly, obliterating a clear, winter's sky. The place exudes prosperity and arrogance, seemingly challenging the world to match its majesty. But linger here, mingle with the customers, listen to the players and watch the football. Then the senses communicate an entirely different story of this enormous club.
It has been said by the critics that one man cannot make a team, yet when Argentina-born Alfredo Di Stéfano flew the Atlantic to join Real Madrid in 1953, it marked the beginning of an era in which the blond centre-forward led the club to real greatness. Champions eight times in eleven seasons, Real became the most famed and most feared club side of all time, and at the height of their power between 1956 and 1960, set up what will probably remain an all-time record by taking the European Cup five times in a row.
During the last two or three years it has become increasingly apparent that sooner or later Santos would wrest the 'World's-best' tag from Real Madrid, and now that it has happened only those who wear blinkers will be surprised.
By now we should be accustomed to English failure. By now we should have learned the lessons from a decade of disappointment. Alas, nothing changes.

Protein helps you feel fuller, longer, and helps sustain your energy levels throughout the day. If you are constantly on the go like I am, you need portable, protein-packed snacks to take with you. Here are a few of my new favorites:
- Krave Jerky. This artisanal jerky is free of nitrates, hormones and artificial flavors and made from all-natural turkey, beef and pork. I have never been a big jerky fan, but they sent me a sample and this is the best-tasting, best-texture jerky I have ever tried, and it comes in flavors like Smoky Grilled Teriyaki (pork), Pineapple Orange (beef) and Basil Citrus (turkey). Plus, it packs 6-9 g protein per serving and is much lower in sodium than traditional jerky.
- Shelf-stable lowfat chocolate milk. I have told you before about how lowfat chocolate milk is my go-to post workout snack, since it has the perfect ratio of carbs and protein to refuel after exercise. But it is hard to keep on hand, since it has to be refrigerated, or so I thought. Recently, I found some awesome single-serving containers of organic lowfat chocolate milk (pictured above) that are sealed and packaged in such a way that they do not require refrigeration until after they are opened. They offer 8 g protein per serving, and you can find them with the powdered and condensed milk products in your grocery store.
- Mini Babybel Cheeses. Not only are these fun to open, they also are full of flavor (there are seven flavors to choose from!) and have 50-70 calories and 5-6 g protein per serving. When they sent me samples, I found that pairing one with a piece of fruit made for the perfect energy-boosting snack.
- Wild Squirrel Nut Butters. If you love nut butters but always have a hard time figuring out how to take them with you, you'll love Wild Squirrel's super-portable pouches of all-natural nut butters. Each pouch is 200 calories or less, contains 7 g of filling protein and they come in fun flavors, too! They sent me samples of all five flavors, and my personal favorites are the chocolate sun-sation almond butter and the cinnamon raisin peanut butter.
- LUNA Protein Bars. You all know that I enjoy the work I do with LUNA, because they offer so many great products for busy, active women. One of my favorites is the LUNA Protein Bar. There are five yummy flavors, and I can't decide if chocolate peanut butter or the cookie dough is my favorite. Even better, each bar has around 170-190 calories with 12 g protein and 3 g fiber, along with essential nutrients women need. They are high in calcium and folic acid, and a good source of vitamin D, iron, fiber and antioxidants (vitamins A, C and E).

Beautiful Creatures Biography
Initially started in 1999 by BulletBoys guitarist DJ Ashba, the group went through numerous lineups. Vocalist Joe Lesté of Bang Tango had joined L.A. Guns for a short time before re-joining Bang Tango then leaving once again to form the group with Ashba. L.A. Guns bassist Chuck Garric, Faster Pussycat guitarist Brent Muscat and former Shake The Faith drummer Danny Parker. This lineup eventually split after Garric left to join Dio and Muscat formed his own project Bubbles Ashba and Lesté regrouped adding former Shake The Faith and Wicked Jester bassist Kenny Kweens along with session drummer Anthony Focx who appeared in 1992 film Wayne's World appearing as the drummer in Tia Carrere's club band. Focx eventually became the group's second guitarist with Glen Sobel, another session drummer, being brought in to replace him. This would be the first lineup under the moniker Beautiful Creatures. Prior to naming, the band opened one show in Houstan, Texas for Kiss during their reunion tour after Ted Nugent pulled out. The band were given two more support slots in Detroit and East Lansing then entered the studio to record material for their debut album. The band were then signed to Warner Bros. and released self-titled debut Beautiful Creatures, produced by Marilyn Manson cohort Sean Beavan, on August 14, 2001. The band were added to the 2001 Ozzfest lineup playing from June 8 through to August 12 aswell as the Rolling Rock Tour and later toured Japan. After the merger between Time Warner and AOL earlier in the year the band were eventually dropped after shake ups at the record label and poor record sales. On February 13, 2002, the band announced that Beautiful Creatures founder DJ Ashba had left the group but that the band would find a replacement and continue on. Ashba released a statement showing that he left the band on good terms and that fans should welcome "the new addition to the band with open arms." Little over a month later, glam metal band Tuff confirmed that guitarist Michael Thomas had left to join Beautiful Creatures as the replacement to the recently departed Ashba. However, Thomas left the band in April to tour with Suki Jones (the first incarnation of Adler's Appetite) as a temporary replacement for Brent Muscat who was touring with Faster Pussycat. Thomas then joined former BC guitarist DJ Ashba's solo band simply titled ASHBA. Drummer Glen Sobel also departed the group and joined the backing band of singer/rapper Brooks Buford along with former members of Killgore and members of Hate Machine, Omniblank, Rehab and Tommy Lee's solo band. Despite the losses the band regrouped adding former Angry Salad guitarist Alex Grossi and drummer Matt Starr and began recording material for the follow up to their self-titled debut. Produced by guitarist Anthony Focx and mixed by Toby Wright, whose past production work includes albums by Alice In Chains, Korn and Kiss, the band were to release sophomore album Deuce on Japanese label JVC in 2004 with a US release due in early 2005 but the album was not released until April 21, 2005 in Japan and after signing with Spitfire Records the album was released in the US on August 23, 2005. By this point, guitarist Grossi had departed the band to join the new lineup of Quiet Riot and was replaced by former Flotsam and Jetsam guitarist Mark Simpson. Drummer Starr was also replaced by Bang Tango drummer Timmy Russell. To support the album, that band announced a fall tour with industrial metal band The Genitorturers. After signing a deal with Perris Records for a European release of Deuce in 2006, the band embarked on a UK headlining tour with Stephen Pearcy of Ratt. In October 2007, frontman Lesté announced that the band were planning a new album aswell as a European tour in January 2008: "Rumors of a BEAUTIFUL CREATURES European Tour for January 2008 [are] true. Dates will be announced soon. A new BEAUTIFUL CREATURES CD is also a rumor to be true. Although no music at this time has been written or recorded, plans are being made for the band's third CD." In early 2008, bassist Kenny Kweens started his own project titled Villains of Vaudeville with 3 songs posted on the bands official myspace. The band played a show on Valentine's Day with Faster Pussycat then in April were announced as one of the acts appearing at Rocklahoma 2008 on Sunday, July 13. On October 8, 2008, the song Anyone from album Deuce to appeared on the FX television series Sons of Anarchy after being licenced by the network. In March 2009, drummer Timmy Russell departed the band to join Burn Halo fronted by former Eighteen Visions frontman James Hart. On March 24, it was announced that the song Freedom from Deuce would appear in the romantic comedy film The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, aswell as on the official soundtrack. On July 5, Kenny Kweens left the band to replace the departed Scott Griffin in the Phil Lewis fronted [L.A. Guns]] but still played with BC at the 3rd annual Rocklahoma. The bands current lineup now consists of Joe Lesté on vocals, Delta Starr (formerly of Culture Killers) on lead guitar, Anthony Focx on rhythm Guitar, Lance Eric (of Bang Tango) on bass and Justin Sandler on drums. On Nov 25, Joe Lesté collapsed on stage during a Bang Tango show in Chicago, Illinios. This prompted numerous online rumours that the singer was "on his deathbed" but these were soon quashed by guitarist Alex Grossi: "In response to the dozens of phone calls, text messages and e-mails regarding Joe LeSte, I would like to squash any rumors that he is dead or even close to it. Joe was indeed taken to the hospital on Wednesday evening right before a Bang Tango performance that was set to take place at The Portage Theater in Chicago. Without going into detail, I can tell you, without reservation that Joe is very much is alive and well and recovering in Chicago as I type this. We would like to thank everyone that came out to the shows during the past 2 weeks." Grossi then issued another update on Lesté's condition: " 'I spoke with Joe yesterday and he sounded better. Essentially what happened was he went off his blood pressure medication last Monday, and by Wednesday his blood pressure spiked into stroke territory, that is when he went to the hospital. They have since stabilized him and are finishing up their tests today to make sure he is ok to fly home.'

SOCCER NEWS: Wilmington's Ochoa Named Player of the Week
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:07
- Written by Super User
Had two goals, assist as Hammerheads defeated Riverhounds
USL PRO named its Team of the Week for Week 4 of the 2014 season on Tuesday with Wilmington Hammerheads forward Samuel Ochoa being named Player of the Week as he scored a pair of goals and added an assist in his side's 4-3 victory against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds on Saturday night.
Ochoa, formerly of Seattle Sounders FC, played a role as the Hammerheads took the lead in the 27th minute as he held up play before passing to Steven Miller for a low finish. Ochoa then notched his first as a Hammerhead in the 58th minute as he flicked home a free kick by Daniel Lovitz to make it 3-1, and added a second from the penalty spot with 18 minutes remaining that proved to be the game-winner as the Hammerheads took victory. Ochoa is joined in the Team of the Week attack by Sacramento Republic FC's Mike Fucito, who had a goal and an assist in his side's inaugural victory, a 3-1 win against Chivas USA on April 7. Fucito, on loan from the San Jose Earthquakes, scored the opening goal and assisted on Justin Braun's game-winner in a 3-1 win. Republic FC was also represented by Mickey Daly, who scored a pair of goals in Sacramento's games against Orange County and the LA Galaxy II this past weekend. He is joined in the Team of the Week defense by Oklahoma City's Kyle Miller, who scored his first professional goal in a 4-0 win against Arizona United on Saturday, and the LA Galaxy II's Daniel Steres, who scored in his side's 4-2 win against OKC on April 7. Orange County's Seth Moses rounds out the quartet after a strong showing in the Blues' 2-1 win against Sacramento on Saturday.
Joining Moses in representing Orange County is Stephen Okai, whose goal proved to be the game-winner in his side's first victory of the season. Orlando City's Cobi Span also earned selection after scoring the only goal in the Lions' win against Charleston, while OKC's Adda Djeziri was named after a strong performance that was capped with a goal in the Energy's win against Arizona.
A pair of Charlotte Eagles rounded out the Team of the Week, as goalkeeper Doug Herrick was named after recording seven saves in a 2-1 victory against the Richmond Kickers, and Drew Yates earned selection as he provided the assists on both Eagles goals as they rallied for victory. The 2014 USL PRO season continues on Tuesday night as OKC Energy FC visits the FC Dallas Reserves at 8 p.m. ET. Friday night sees another interleague contest as the Charleston Battery play host to the New York Red Bulls Reserves at 7:30 p.m. ET at Blackbaud Stadium.
Saturday night brings four games, with the Richmond Kickers set to host the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at 5 p.m. ET before the Harrisburg City Islanders host the Dayton Dutch Lions in their home opener at 7 p.m. ET. The action concludes on the west coast as Arizona United SC hosts Sacramento Republic FC at 10 p.m. ET, and the Orange County Blues SC visit the LA Galaxy II at 10:30 p.m. ET. Every game of the 2014 USL PRO season can be seen live on YouTube, with live updates also available via Twitter (@USLPRO), Facebook and Google+.

There has been no announcement on when the match will be played, although it is expected to be rescheduled for a weekend when the PRO12 is on a break due of European action.
"The RaboDirect PRO12 Round 19 game between Benetton Treviso and Connacht, due to be played at Stadio Monigo tonight, has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch," read a statement on Connacht's official website.

News: Mystikal Tells Miley Shake It Fast, Reveals Love For Cyrus' Booty-Popping Skills
Saturday, Aug 24, 2013 2:45PM
Cash Money Records' Mystikal is the latest hip-hop artist to hop onto the Miley Cyrus bandwagon after recently revealing his obsession of watching her twerk it out.
While he initially talked about booty-shaking in 2013, Mystikal could not resist revealing his love for Miley.
When asked for his two cents on the state of ass-centric anthems today versus then, he says little has changed. "It ain't no different," the former No Limits signee tells VIBE. "It's just a little different because of the digital age and how technology is." Because of said technology, twerking has resurfaced as a viral phenomenon courtesy of an unlikely backer: Miley Cyrus. The "Fly Rich" rapper admits to scoping out the ex-Disney starlet on the 'Net, even running the visual back several times. "I rewind it," he said of Miley's video where she flaunts her booty-popping skills in a unicorn onesie. "I liked it. I liked it a lot! (Laughs)" The Let's Get Ready MC adds that he may serve up another banger dedicated to the gyrating dance. "I'ma have y'all twerkin' so be cool," he says. (VIBE)
Earlier this month, Atlanta producer Mike Will Made It released a photo of Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj together in a studio.
Are Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj cooking up a collaboration? The twerking twosome were pictured in the lab with producer Mike WiLL Made It. "Kik'n shit wit mileycyrus and @NICKIMINAJ. #MadeItMafia #Bangerz," wrote the "We Can't Stop" hitmaker, who posted the photo on Instagram. (Rap-Up)
In June, Cyrus denied media and fan speculation of her trying to be a white version of Miss Minaj.
"A lot of people wanted to try to make me the white Nicki Minaj," Cyrus says. "That's not what I'm trying to do. I love 'hood' music, but my talent is as a singer." To that end, Edge is particularly excited about "Wrecking Ball"-a defiant power ballad produced by Dr. Luke with a thrilling vocal performance. "We were inspired by OneRepublic, and the way Timbaland used to do those big ballads," Cyrus says. Edge adds: "When Miley came to us she had really good songs already, including 'Wrecking Ball,' which blew us away. It could be a career song for her." (Billboard)
Barring any setbacks, Miley's upcoming new LP will land on stores shelves in early October.
Miley Cyrus is bringing her Bangerz this fall. The singer has set a release date for her fourth album. She announced the October 8 date on Twitter. "#BANGERZ #Oct8th," she tweeted. Miley has been in the studio with Mike WiLL Made It, Pharrell, Da Internz, Planet VI, Stacy Barthe, and Sam Hook, and has collaborated with Big Sean, Future, Nelly, and French Montana, who she worked with on a remix to "Ain't Worried About Nothin." "I had no preconceived ideas w/ this record," she told one fan. "The album revealed its name about 8 songs in when I realized we got nutn but #bangerz. (Rap-Up)

The New York Giants announced on Monday that they have hired Danny Langsdorf as their quarterbacks coach. Langsdorf was the offensive coordinator at Oregon State the past nine seasons. With the Giants, Langdorf will instruct quarterback Eli Manning, who set a franchise record by throwing 27 interceptions in 2013. Langsdorf will work under new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. "For me, it's just a great opportunity to be able to work with a great quarterback," Langsdorf said. "I know he is looking for improvement off of last year. I'm looking forward to a new challenge and to live in a new part of the country. I was never in New York for any reason up until the interview (with head coach Tom Coughlin). I think it's kind of a neat opportunity for me and my family to experience a different part of the world and just a new challenge, so we're very excited about that. And getting back to the NFL was something that was appealing to me." The Giants announced two other coaching moves. Sean Ryan, who was the Giants quarterbacks coach the previous two seasons, will now coach the wide receivers. Kevin M. Gilbride, the wide receivers coach this past season, will now coach tight ends. The only Giants offensive coaches who will return in the same position are line coach Pat Flaherty, assistant line coach Lunda Wells and offensive assistant Ryan Roeder.

Vampire Diaries sinks teeth into Gay character
The hit U.S TV show The Vampire Diaries will introduce a gay character in its latest season.
Chris Brochu, an American actor and singer, who has appeared on CSI: NY, NCIS:Los Angeles and Melissa and Joey will play Luke, 'a fun and charming student at Whitmore college who bonds with Elena and Caroline.'
The character will be introduced in episode 16 of the current season.
Creator Kevin Williamson explains his decision to wait before introducing a gay character.
"It's one of those things that needs to feel organic and seamless.I don't want it to be a character that comes in and is a one-off. I want someone to come in and have a reason and a purpose and really push that story forward."

Ah, yes. As Mac Thomason wrote at Braves Journal, there's "nothing like a dose of the Astros to cure what ails you." Rain loomed for a while Saturday at Turner Field but never came. Eventually, we got some sunlight, but it was never a truly comfortable day. However, the baseball was superb. The crowd was fairly tranquil and tepid early on, except when Jason Heyward came to bat. The guy can't legally drink and Turner Field is already crazy about him. Troy Glaus received some moans and groans early on, but we warmed up to him today. :)
I want to say how ANNOYING the idiots with the quad drums and other conduits to noise-making racket are in front of the stadium. Thank you and goodbye. Here you are trying to enjoy some pre-game conversation, purchase your tickets, and check out some of the monuments, but you can barely process your thoughts because we've got some people thinking we've just showed up for a varsity football jamboree! End of rant.
A beautiful yard.
A good reason why I should have gotten in shape and practiced baseball every day.
Meet Stoney.
So, I made one-sided buddies with this dude I named Stoney.
Stoney tossed back a few beers and enjoyed some pizza on his Saturday out at Turner Field.
Stoney caught Heyward fever shortly after the first inning and returned with a jersey!
Seventh-inning stretch time!
And here we have the worst haircut I think I've ever seen.
View from the seats!
What's a trip to Atlanta without hitting Fogo de Chao?

One downside that I
reported in my experience
with Mint.com is that it didn't have some of my banks and credit unions in its database so it couldn't automatically track my accounts at those institutions. According to
this post at Mashable
, this issue may go away. Mint will be doubling its network to include nearly all US banks.

Since Avila is having day to day problems with tendinitis in his knees, perhaps we should think about DH'ing him until he's 100% healthy. I know that Delmon Young is the current DH, but he isn't exactly winning much playing time with his bat right now.
What to do with Ryan Raburn is another concern. He's just not hitting. Tigerdog suggested that we could send him to Toledo since he still has 1 option remaining. I agree with that, perhaps some time in Toledo would help him and the Tigers. Danny Worth and Ramon Santiago could fill in at 2B until Raburn gets his stroke back.
So who do we call up to take his roster spot? The Free Rob Brantly Bandwagon Starts Now!
Rob Brantly is in AA playing for the Erie SeaWolves.
He bats left handed and currently has:
Year Age Lev G PA AB R H 2B HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS 2012 22 AA 27 116 106 12 38 13 3 22 8 10 .358 .405 .566 .971
Provided by Baseball-Reference.com: View Original Table
Generated 5/13/2012.
I also feel that adding an enthusiastic farm fresh rookie on the roster could light a fire in this team and help get the offense going. I'm not expecting Brantly to be the next Buster Posey and lead us to the World Series, but maybe he could help provide a spark like Alex Avila did a few years ago.
Does Avila need to rest his knees more? Could Brantly be ready to make the jump to the majors? You tell me.

Wayne Kirkwood pleaded guilty in what was described as one of the north's worst cases of animal cruelty ever brought to court. The Irish News yesterday revealed that despite admitting several charges, Kirkwood, left, posted abusive comments online against the police and USPCA. The 20-year-old, who is from a well-known loyalist family, also made a sectarian comment against one employee, branding her an "Irish b*****d". He finished his tirade by challenging anyone who had a problem with his views to confront him "face to face" to "sort it out". Wayne Kirkwood, his brother Christopher (23) and father Jeremiah (43) originally faced a total of 15 charges but each pleaded guilty to three on Tuesday. The men, all with addresses on Island Street, Belfast, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to four terrier cross puppies in November 2011. They also pleaded guilty to possession of items for use in connection with an animal fight, and keeping or training four bull lurcher dogs for an animal fight. Another man Jamie Edward Morrow (19), of McAllister Court in east Belfast, admitted keeping or training an animal for a fight, namely a whippet cross Staffordshire bull terrier. Wayne Kirkwood's Facebook page was yesterday removed from public view after his remarks were highlighted by The Irish News. A spokesman for PSNI last night said: "Police are investigating the reported behaviour." The men have been released on bail before sentencing at Belfast Crown Court on February 21.

Loved that ending. It was so good i listened to it twice. Ya see they go.........
R McLeod, 2012-09-20 16:08:37
This is one of the stronger episodes from 1982. Just about the time you thought that a romance had been sparked, SURPRISE! 5 stars.
The Woman Who Wanted to Live is a FANTASTIC episode. Longtime great Larry Haines plays a very convincing hardened criminal who is severely wounded while breaking out of prison. Roberta Maxwell plays his hostage who begins to suffer from Stockholm Syndrome as she and her kidnapper travel the countryside hounded by the police. Even the short scene with Mystery Theater regular Russell Horton is meaningful and well developed. There are many turns in this story and just when you think you know how it's going to end, CBS Mystery Theater gives us one of the best twists ever. Afterward, I wondered how I would have managed in our heroine's situation. Like R McLeod above, I quickly listened to this great drama again. 4 out of 5 stars - JUROR #4

I love the show The Best Thing I Ever Ate, and I think I discovered one of the best things I've ever ate this weekend.
Meet the chewy chocolate cookie from Art-is-in Bakery.
I met my dear friend (and fellow food lover) Crystallina for Body Combat on Saturday morning.
Last Saturday after class, I introduced Crys to my new found love: A Grande, Non-Fat, No Whip, Coconut Mocha from Starbucks.
She raved about the Art-is-in cookies, so this week we made a date to sweat, drink coco-mochas and eat cookies! BLISS!
The gym was disgustingly hot. At one point, I'm pretty sure I got a mouthful of sweat courtesy of the girl standing beside me. When we were on the floor doing abs, I had my feet up the in the air and noticed that even my CALVES were sweating. Gross.
I would have done that class 10 times in a row, if it meant I could have delicious cookies afterwards!
The description from their website says it perfectly:
There's no question, Kevin is passionate about bread but he also happens to be obsessed with sweets. Our "Killer Cookies" combine all the best elements of grandma's homemade treats – wholesome ingredients, lovingly made by hand – with the decadent twist that comes from the kitchen of a classically trained pastry chef. These cookies are unforgettable.
They are indeed unforgettable. They are slightly crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. The walnuts add a perfect crunch.
Look at them! Beautiful.
Yes, I just called a cookie beautiful.

I wonder if there is a support group for cookie addicts?

Swanson Contemporary
638 E. Market St. • 589-5466
Swanson Contemporary has two exhibitions currently on display. Barbara Crawford's "Four Decades of Photography," part of the Photo Biennial, covers a span of time, subjects and techniques. The retrospective, with photographs chosen by Crawford, shows an artist growing over the years, from her '70s female and males nudes, through her 1980s-90s figurative work, to her recent digital projects. The Digital Immigrants is the collective name of five artists, including locals Brad White and Brianne DeRolph. They've altered World War II oxygen tanks into sculptures that are on display through the Nov. 4 First Friday Trolley Hop. The online "Oxygen Auction" runs through Nov. 30. A portion of the auction price will be donated to the Wounded Warriors Foundation (visit www.diauction.com for details). —Jo Anne Triplett

Angus T. Jones may have apologised for his recent rant about the "filth" broadcast in his hit US show Two And A Half Men, but he is still under public scrutiny due to his sudden very public slamming of the show he has held a starring role on for years.
But actress Holland Taylor, who plays his grandmother in the show, explained to TMZ.com that she still very much admires the young actor - although she admitted she has no idea what he was experiencing right now.
"Angus is a very lovely young man... he was a lovely child and he is a lovely man. [But] I have not seen him for many months."
"I admire all the people involved with my show, and I admire Angus particularly. I don't know what he's experiencing now."
However, when asked if she agreed with his comment about the show beign utter "filth", the actress could barely contain her disdain, emitting a short bark of laughter and an "oh PLEASE!"
Holland Taylor joins the likes of Angus' Two And A Half Men co-stars Charlie Sheen and Miley Cyrus in speaking out about the young actor's recent personal difficulties.
It remains unclear as to whether or not Angus T Jones will return to Two And A Half Men for another series.

Jimmy Buffett Falls Off Stage in Australia
Jimmy Buffett took a tumble off the stage at his concert in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday. Australian newspaper the Daily Telegraph reports that the 64-year-old music icon fell head first, hitting his head. He lay unconscious for about eight minutes before paramedics were able to transport him to Sydney's St. Vincent's Hospital.
"It looked like he did a massive face plant after his encore and pretty much didn't get up," audience member Dan Bateman told the Telegraph. "We were told to leave the premises … No one really wanted to leave because everyone was anxious to know if he survived the fall. Everyone was pretty horrified."
Jimmy is now in stable condition and is undergoing observation, a hospital representative tells ABC News Radio.
Wednesday's show was the last of the 'Margaritaville' singer's three-night run at the Sydney Opera House. It was his first trip Down Under in 20 years. He's scheduled to perform in Auckland, New Zealand this Saturday. There's no word yet on whether that show will have to be rescheduled.

Gove wants 'military ethos' in schools
The boost is part of a wider aim to bring military ethos into the education system, including expansion of the school-based cadets; developing the Troops to Teachers programme; and a rise in the Service Children Premium for Service Children.
– Education Secretary Michael Gove
Every child can benefit from the values of a military ethos.
Self-discipline and teamwork are at the heart of what makes our Armed Forces the best in the world - and are exactly what all young people need to succeed.
Exclusion from school should never mean exclusion from education.
These projects are helping pupils in alternative provision reach their full potential and are helping to close the attainment gap.

I swear, the fans of the team might have the most whacked priorities of any NFL fanbase. We've been so jaded over the constant years of mediocrity and losing that we're sarcastic, bitter, and hopeless. We're part of a franchise that's so down upon itself that some have reached a point where they feel the need to berate other fans who actually ignore the bad parts and still wish for success and hold a little hope that it can be achieved, all while keeping the label of "fan of the team" themselves.
We're not that bad off. Yes, we look terrible, yes we have looked terrible, this offseason was not stellar by any means (and calling it solid or anything remotely above "par for the course" feels like a stretch). But we're not the only hopeless franchise. We're bad off right now. Guess what, so are the Panthers. Guess what, so are the Vikings. Guess what, so are the Bills. Guess what, so are the Titans. Guess what, so are the Seahawks. Guess what, so are the Dolphins. We. Are. Not. The. Only. Bad. Franchise.
The difference is, their fans still have hope. Their offseason may have sucked. The Vikes traded for McNabb and lost all their primary receiving targets outside of Harvin and Shiancoe, the Dolphins had a clusterfuck of an offseason (may have been worse than ours), don't even start me on the Seahawks, and the Panthers just went 2-14 and had to draft a franchise guy at the start of the year while vastly overpaying for players that they shouldn't have had to pay that much for. Their. Fans. Still. Have. Hope. That. This. Year. Might. Be. Good.
Not us though. Many are calling the season a wash. Some are even reveling in that prediction and are giddy to laugh at us when we're all dejected at the lost season by December. And that bothers me. Not because we have a reason to be hopeful (we don't, that's why sports is usually filled with senseless hope and deranged fans), but because those people, the people who would revel in their team's failure just for the knowledge that they were, in fact, right, are calling themselves fans.
Newsflash: They aren't.
No one who purposefully wishes for the team to fail, especially for the sake of being right, should not be considered a fan. Fans may be logical. They may see the writing on the wall and feel like the team is going to do bad. But that should not ever stop them. Regardless of how hopeless the team looks, how badly things look like they'll go, your obligation as a fan is to root for your team's success. To hope for their success and greet them with cheers when they succeed. To loyally follow the franchise through the thickest and the thinnest. This is not a friendship. When you are a fan, you are married to the team.
Act like it. If you can't do that, get out.

Standard Life have posted some positive news – that sales of pensions in last quarter were up 30% on the same time last year. The insurer had sold £4.6billion of pension products, which gave hope to other pension providers who are expected to announce their results shortly.
Standard Life's focus is primarily on the UK market, so its results were expected to mirror the roller coaster ride that the British economy has had. However, the upturn in pension sales has come as a pleasant surprise to commentators and initially to the Standard Life management team.
Despite a level of doom and gloom that exists in the economy, a spokesman for Standard Life said that the man on the street was more resilient than analysts had thought, and had continued to invest in pension products. New Chief Financial Officer Jackie Hunt said that she believed people were beginning to appreciate the need to save for their retirements, and that they had experienced a large increase in the number of people who were seeking advice on the subject.
The strong results were also underpinned by new deals the insurer has won to manage employee schemes, although a spokesman did confirm that existing schemes they managed had been affected by falls in recruitment and lower salary rises (which would have affected the amounts paid in as contributions).
It remains to be seen whether the strong results were due to Standard Life's recent advertising campaign aimed at younger people, encouraging them to get a reality check on their finances. The campaign was launched over a variety of media including the TV channel Dave. Some of Standard Life's competitors were initially sceptical, but the move seems to have paid off.
Legal and General and Aviva are due to announce results in the coming weeks, so it will be interesting to see if they have enjoyed a similar period of growth.

A Marblehead man was ordered held on $20,000 cash bail Thursday after police reportedly found 13 guns, three packages of marijuana and child pornography in his home on Puritan Road.
Raymond DePaula, 39, of 23 Puritan Road, Marblehead, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Lynn District Court to charges of possessing child pornography, possessing a class D substance (marijuana), 8 counts of improperly storing a firearm and 13 counts of possessing a firearm without a firearms identification card.
At 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, local officers, working in cooperation with the State Police and representatives of the Department of Homeland Security reportedly arrived at DePaula's Puritan Road home and he granted them permission to search the premises and his two computers, according to court documents.
During the search, police reportedly found "" including revolvers and semi-automatic weapons. Five of the handguns were reportedly stored in a locked safe in DePaula's closet - the other 8 were reportedly found unsecured in an unlocked gun chest in a different closet.
Police also reportedly searched DePaula's home computer and found pornographic images of children performing sexual acts on adults. When a prosecutor described the alleged photos in graphic detail in court, DePaula closed his eyes and shook his head.
"The investigation is ongoing and police expect an additional forensic search of his computer will lead to further charges with significant and severe penalties," a prosecutor said Thursday.
DePaula reportedly admitted to viewing child pornography but denied sending it anyone else, according to police.
Also found at DePaula's home were three containers of marijuana, two of which were reportedly located in his freezer. The marijuana reportedly weighed out to approximately 1.5 ounces, according to court documents.
The make and model of the guns found at DePaula's home were not immediately available as his court hearing went beyond when the Lynn District Court clerk's office closes.
Marblehead Patch will be posting full details about the firearms tomorrow morning.
The prosecution argued that DePaula's bail should be high because he has a prior arrest for statutory rape.
DePaula's lawyer argued that a sealed statutory rape case he had continued without a finding in 1995 stemmed from a relationship Depaula had with a 15-year-old when he was 18.
DePaula is a lifelong Marblehead resident who has lived at his home on Puritan Road for more than 30 years, his attorney said.
Judge Stacey J. Fortes-White ordered DePaula held on $20,000 cash bail and ordered that if he posts that amount that he stay away from and have no contact with children under the age of 16.
Fortes-White scheduled him to return to court for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 5.

I am rather beefed up about a cell phone privacy issue and possible cell phone charges with Rogers; Rather than go through all the anger again, I am going to post a cell screen shot from my Facebook rant.
Like it says, Rogers doesn't seem to think this is as crazy of a situation as I do. The lady told me that 'that's impossible' and someone will get back to me in a couple days. Blah blah blah, thanks for nothing right?
She was quick to change my My5 list to people I actually knew. If that was to hide the fact, I took a cell snapshot before and after the call. The difference between the shots - besides the digits? My new list says I can't change my fav's for a month.
Listen Rogers: I didn't change my My5 list, you did - twice now actually ;)
Anyways, I posted the same cell snapshot on Twitter last night from @AugmentedGem to @RogersHelps, and seems to have got some interest. *crosses fingers, to keep from giving the f.u finger*
Privacy concerns are huge nowadays. It's because of the technology age that we're in that most leaks occur. However, there was one privacy issue I read about stemming from a paper incident.
A lady sued the company for her husband linking her cell to their home services. When the new bundled bill came, he found out she was having an affair, and left her. Now this must be why I need to put my husband on the phone as verification,when I make our account changes ;)
Another concern I have is: where did my My5 list go?! Who has my contact list that they lost? I wouldn't doubt it that it's 'out there' somewhere. But no one will look into the matter, because 'that's impossible'.
I call bullshit.

A Classic Gets Better: Hello, Bran Muffins!
Bran muffins can pack a caloric and fat punch. In this lightened-up version, we used mashed canned pears. Not only do they provide moistness and fibre but they also replace some of the oil normally found in the recipe. Look for pears packed in fruit juice, not heavy syrup.
We also cut calories with the addition of fat-free Greek yogurt and by using a reduced-sugar molasses preparation, which has 40 percent less sugar than traditional molasses. These freeze well if individually wrapped.
Recipe: Cardamom-Pear Bran Muffins
Ready in 45 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
Be muffin-spired! Check out our 10 healthy muffin recipes.

Dear StacyK,
Fear consumed me. It was a huge part of who I was. When I was in the fifth grade my Grandpa touched me all over, in places, I don't care to talk about. I grew up knowing this and tried to keep it a secret, but eventually, I told my Mother. I'm not sure how she handled the situation, the sexual play stopped, but I never forgot what he did to me.
I never trusted men again after that. It seemed as though my childhood was lost and I grew up way to fast. I went into "protective mode" and spent most of my adolescent years looking out for my Sister. I was afraid my Grandpa was sexually abusing her too. So, protecting her life consumed my life and I lost my self-worth somewhere along the way.
When I grew up and moved out of the house I began to date but it was always with younger men. I knew they weren't looking for a wife so it was easier for me to make a short-term commitment, than spend the rest of my life, with someone who really had it together. Or maybe it's because I abandoned my own children and younger men gave me a sense of worth, feeling as though, they depended on me. Whichever the case, none of that really mattered because every relationship led to destruction and they all hurt me.
I have the same story as most victims. I became pregnant out of wedlock, drugs and alcohol took over my life, and I found myself in and out of physically abusive relationships. Honestly, I wanted to die. I wanted to stay numb and hope all the fear in my life would go away. I would have rather done that than admit to what my Grandfather did to me, forgive myself for hurting others, and learn to love again!
It's been 20 years since my sister and I spoke. I'm not sure where things went wrong and I don't know if I pushed her away. But, with both my parents deceased, the abandonment of my own children, and my sister in New York…I found myself alone. I was lost.
Since 2007 I have been on my road to recovery. It was seven years ago I decided to become a survivor and take back my life. During this journey, I became a leader to six women in a half-way house who struggle with drugs, alcohol, and co-dependency problems. I joined a church and everyone inside loves me unconditionally and accepts me just the way I am. I reconnected with most of my family and children and we are talking again. I feel more alive than I ever have and each day I make progress.
My life is not perfect. Because of my choices there are consequences and some of those decisions I am still praying about. My health deteriorated, but now it is looking up! I was homeless, but now I have a place to stay. I didn't have a job, but now I'd like to open my own business! I was lost, but now I am saved! I will not give up! I am a survivor of sexual abuse and I will not suppress the trauma, afraid of the truth, which hurt me for so long!!!
I really don't know why I was scared. It's obvious this is the right direction and I worked very hard to get where I'm at. I am determined that the last few years encouraged me to take a leap of faith and I will love myself and not be afraid to be who I am!
I want to say thank you. I really enjoy your videos and your daughter's voice- it is a blessing in my treasure box. I truly have been inspired by you. Keep doing what you're doing. Please share my story so it will help others release from their pain.
