Jackass the videogame
Unfortunately, I think this game is going to be extremely popular with kids.
Unfortunately, I think this game is going to be extremely popular with kids.
I have always been a big fan of mortal combat. My favorite character in the game is Sub Zero because I like how i can freeze my opponent's ass whenever I want and inflict a lot of damage. And now, they've come out with a game where Sub Zero can now beat the shit out of Batman. I cannot wait to get my hands on this game…the two worlds are definitely colliding. Watch the trailer.
We were playing Devil May Cry 4 and thought it was quite good. Firstly the graphics were impressive and the characters flawless. Almost too flawless but isn't all anime characters. Ladies with big boobs, men with flawless skin and asian features with blue eyes and blond hair. They are like the better version of harajuku girls and boys, or should say, they are the inspiration for the j-fashion culture.
The game started with a story and a beautiful female protagonist singing in a church-like establishment for a ceremony while the main character, Nero is seen running against time to catch her show. No doubt there is a romantic link between the two, the good girl + the bad boy, cliche but always a winner. The usual boy fancies girl but is too proud to show is extended throughout the movie – I personally dislike the whole courting theory but I may be a minority. So the game starts with the assassination of the master of ceremony, an old crusty guy in a vatican-like gear and a tall hat resembling the KKK, by an assassin who looks a lot like an older version of Nero. You will learn your skills here as the game integrates you into this moves.
At first, you are thrilled that you can hack and whack Cirque Du Soleil type of demons with wooden stilt legs, some are equipped with blades for a left/right foot. You can also shoot them with a gun. It almost never kills them unless you do your sword combos with. The good thing about the gun is that if you kill those demons with it, you will get green orbs that gives sustenance to your life and the red orbs which you can use to increase your skill. The graphics were excellent, the monuments and clips in between your games to tell the story is as real as Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within movie.
My only gripe with DMC 4 is that I find the battles to be a tad repetitive. And combat mode to be a little messy when you're hacking more than 3 monsters/demons at the same time. Otherwise, it's a pretty good game simply because you want to know its ending.
Of course, it is the ONLY reason why they would have more sales. Metal Gear Solid 4 is a great game and PS peeps are smart enough to make it platform exclusive for themselves because otherwise, they have no edge against other consoles.
With the launch of Rockstar Games' multiplatform Grand Theft Auto IV in April, many industry watchers expected both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to experience a significant boost in hardware sales. However, that expectation proved to be unfounded. Although GTAIV floored critics and went on to log a record-breaking $500 million in first-week sales, neither console was impacted in a meaningful way by the release. With Sony releasing the equally lauded console-exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in June, the latest NPD Group sales figures reveal the importance of exclusive games in the console-sales race.
According to NPD's sales statistics for the month of June, Sony's PlayStation 3 benefitted substantially from the release of Konami and Kojima Production's top-rated action adventure, logging 405,500 units for the month. That's nearly double the number of consoles that Sony sold in May, and a far cry from June Xbox 360 sales, which stood at 219,800 units, despite the release of Tecmo's console-exclusive Ninja Gaiden II.
"Platform-exclusive content usually fuels hardware-system purchases, and PS3 sales certainly reflect the impact of Metal Gear Solid 4," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier. "PS3 unit sales were the highest of any month outside of that recorded during previous November/December holiday time frames."
Civilization Revolution is similar to the PC titles in the Civilization series. It is a turn based strategy game in which the player can take 16 different civilizations, each with special abilities, from prehistory to modern times and recent future. For the console version, the gameplay has been streamlined and simplified to make the game easier to play for newcomers to the series. A victory can be achieved in four ways: Domination (Capture all enemy capitals using battle methods), Technological (Win the space race to colonize Alpha Centauri by creating a spacecraft), Cultural (Build the United Nations), or Economic (Build the World bank). All of these have different requirements, such as a player controlling all of his or her respective opponents' capital cities or gaining a large amount of resources. Many things affect what happens with your civilization and other civilizations like the terrain you built your cities on and that effects how successful your city becomes.
Civilization Revolution (full title: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, abbreviated title: Civ Rev) is a new iteration of Civilization being developed by Firaxis with Sid Meier as designer for Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A Wii version was originally expected but was put on indefinite hold. The lack of a PlayStation Portable version was attributed to a lack of development manpower.
There are 16 civilization leaders you can choose from, from cleopatra to queen elizabeth to mao zedong. Who would would you be?
Check out their trailer:
Well, maybe it's not the first but heck, it's rare that a respectable gaming site would give perfect 10 to a game. So Grand Theft Auto IV started off with wobbly last years' graphics and had loads of potty mouth running around shooting and ramming things over in town. It's a story about a gangster and it's gangs, whaddaya expect? The game let you have up to 16 players at a time, what is not to love?
This paragraph alone makes me want to go out and get the game:
One of the many things that set GTAIV apart from its predecessors is Liberty City, which is more convincing as a living, breathing urban environment than anything that you've seen in a game before, and bears little resemblance to its namesake in 2001's GTAIII. Liberty's diverse population believably attempts to go about its daily business, seemingly unaware that several criminal factions are at war in the city. Niko has no such luck. He's compelled to start working for one of the factions shortly after arriving, when he learns that his cousin Roman has some potentially fatal gambling debts. Niko's military experience makes him a useful freelancer for employers in the business of killing each other, and though his reluctance to carry out their orders is often apparent, he does whatever is asked of him in the hope that completing missions for other people will ultimately give him the means to complete his own
God this game looks sweet. Is it stupid to splurge on a PS3 for ONE game I want to play?
time to look for rentals.
Grand Turismo 5 is on its way and Yamauchi, the creator of GT speaks up of what goodies are to come:
Talking about the two vaporware titles, Yamauchi confirmed they're both still on the radar. He said, "Gran Turismo for Boys will most likely become a service within Gran Turismo 5, and for the PSP I don't think we'll be able to make this year."
When asked what's next for the Gran Turismo following GT5 Prologue's European launch, Yamauchi said that, "first off, GT5 prologue is only at the halfway point to its completion. So in the next update there will be many more features added to the game. From that point to Gran Turismo 5, there's just going to be a lot more quantity in terms of cars and of the tracks as well."
GameSpot asked if the development of GT5 Prologue meant a longer wait for the eventual Gran Turismo 5, and Yamauchi answered, "This is true, but creating games on the PS3 is so much more difficult than we imagined at first and it took us three years to get here, and I hope our fans understand that we're trying our best and will be moving forward [on GT5] from here on."
Yamauchi also stated that his team at Polyphony Digital is and will be completely engrossed in Gran Turismo for the foreseeable future. He said, "We want to do other things, and I have some ideas but we don't have any resources and time to do anything else right now, we're focusing on getting Gran Turismo evolved and moving forward and also [Gran Turismo] for the PSP as well."
When I first saw this game previewed, it reminded me so much of the Tomb Raider series. I guess it's been a while since anyone came up with a Tomb-raider kind of games but still – it is sort of a rip off, but in a good way.
The game looks pretty impressive in the trailer and being only a PS3 games, I feel that they are limiting their market by doing so because of PS3's poorer sales in relative to the other consoles.
Anyway, check out the trailer and tell me if you don't think it looks like Tomb Raider's chronicles.
For MONTHS after it's been delayed, over and over again Rockstar Games released another trailer of the game – probably to tease. I think we've been teased enough, we want to play.

Live Game Blog: 49ers vs. BroncosPosted by on October 31, 2010 – 7:49 AM
It's been a long road trip, but gameday has finally arrived at Wembley Stadium. It's been a busy week, but more or less business as usual with practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before moving into a hotel in London on Friday. On Saturday, the team went through a walk through at Wembley before attending a rally at Trafalgar square. The biggest news of the week came just before Wednesday's practice when Singletary announced that Troy Smith would start at quarterback.
If you have any questions for Ted Robinson in this week's "Teddy Football," please add them in the comments section as I'll talk to him roughly an hour before kickoff.
Here's a photo gallery from today's game.
49ers – WR Kyle Williams, QB Alex Smith, CB Tarell Brown, T Barry Sims, C Eric Heitmann, T Alex Boone, WR Jason Hill
Broncos - QB Brady Quinn (3rd QB), S Darcel Bath, CB Perrish Cox, LB Robert Ayers, LB Wesley Woodyard, OL Eric Olsen, OL Chris Clark, DL Kevin Vickerson
The Denver Broncos won the toss and elected to receive. The Broncos began their drive at the 32. Knowshon Moreno got the carry on 1st down and picked up 3. On 3rd and 4, the Broncos tried a trick reverse to Demaryius Thomas, but Justin Smith kept the edge and he was stopped short. Britton Colquitt did not get off a good punt and it rolled out of bounds at the 42.
On 2nd down, Troy Smith faked the handoff and tried to hit Michael Crabtree deep, but the throw was too long. Westbrook got the carry on 3rd and 7, but didn't get much as the 49ers had to punt. Lee's punt stuck in the soft pitch and was downed at the 3.
Manny Lawson nearly picked of Orton on the first play of the drive as he dove and got one hand on it. On 2nd down, Orton hit Jabar Gaffney over the middle for a gain of 18. Moreno broke a big run on the very next play and Willis brought him down after a gain of 17. Orton threw behind Brondon Lloyd on the next play but Lloyd made a nice play to adjust and pick up 17. The Broncos continued to move the ball well as Moreno picked up 5 to the right side. Willis wrapped up Moreno for a loss of 1 after the Broncos tried to set up the screen. On 3rd and 6, the 49ers brought pressure and Orton took the sack. It appeared that Justin smith touched him first. Ginn reversed his field on the punt return, drawing applause from the London crowd, but he couldn't pick up much as he was stopped at the 19.
Smith hit Walker on a screen to start the drive for a gain of 6. Gore got the 49ers a first down on a run that he bounced to the left for 13 yards. On 3rd and 8, Smith hit Vernon Davis on a short slant for the first down. Two plays later, Smith hit Walker on another short slant for 10 yards and another first down. On 2nd down, Smith somehow got the ball to Westbrook on the screen and he picked up 9 yards for a first down. On the next play, Gore picked up 7 on a physical run up the middle to get just inside the red zone. On 3rd and short, Gore was stopped just shy of the marker. Nedney came on and connected on a 34-yard field goal to give the 49ers the early lead.
49ers 3 – Broncos 0
Thomas returned the kickoff to the 26. Orton hit Royal on a quick pass to the left side, but Brandon Lloyd was called for offensive PI. That's the way the quarter came to an end.
Highlight Reel: Troy Smith did a great job to avoid the sack and get the ball to Westbrook for 9 yards and a first down. It came at an important drive as it kept the drive moving.
Standout Stat: The Broncos were 0-2 on 3rd downs.
Put it in Perspective: The Broncos have been able to move the ball effectively early, but the 49ers defense has stepped up on third downs. It was encouraging to see Smith take a shot deep for Crabtree on the first drive as it shows confidence in the quarterback.
The second quarter began with a well set up screen to Moreno who picked up 5. Orton then hit Graham for the first down on a check down on the next play. Orton hit Royal on a screen, but the 49ers closed with a solid tackle. Ginn fielded the punt around the 5 and made the first man miss before racing out past the 20.
Ginn got the handoff on a reverse to start the drive and picked up 9, very close to a first down. Gore got the first down on a short pickup up the middle. On 3rd and 6, Smith couldn't find and open man and looked for Crabtree late, but the pass was too wide. Anthony Dixon was called for a face mask penalty on the return, giving the Broncos 15 more yards.
The Broncos started their drive at the 31. Orton had plenty of time to throw on 2nd down and hit Gaffney for 14 yards over the middle. On 3rd and 8, Orton avoided the sack and scrambled out past the 50, but he was still short of the first down. Ginn called for the fair catch at the 11.
On 2nd down, Gore bounced the run to the left side and picked up 21, before Dawkins closed. Gore ran out at the 38. Two plays later, Gore was stopped just shy of the 45 on the draw play. On 3rd and 4, Smith tried to hit Morgan on a slant, but the pass was too high. Lee's punt was low and rolled. Thomas picked it up and dove forward at the 19.
On 2nd down, Lawson brought down Orton for the sack, but he was called for roughing the passer as Lawson inadvertently touched Orton's helmet as he dove to the ground.
***Just received word from our PR staff that Vernon Davis has an ankle sprain and is doubtful.
On 3rd and 3, Orton hit Gronkowski for just enough to get the first down. Two plays later, Clements came on the blitz and Orton hit Lloyd to the opposite side to move the sticks once again. Orton then looked for Gaffney who was hit immediately by Willis to knock the ball loose. On 2nd and long, Justin Smith brought down Orton for a sack that put them in 3rd and 23. Orton hit Buckhalter on 3rd down who was stopped short of the original line of scrimmage. The punt went out of bounds with one second left in the half.
Troy Smith took a knee to end the half.
Highlight Reel: Gore looked fast as he beat the Broncos around the left side of the line. Dawkins was able to close to force Gore out, but Gore had nearly broke it for a score.
Standout Stat: Gore had a great first half with 12 carries for 70 yards.
Put it in Perspective: The 49ers defense has played well, holding Denver to 1-6 on 3rd down. They've also brought down Orton for 3 sacks and there's nothing to complain about when you hold a team scoreless. The 49ers offense has moved the ball at times, but they need to be consistent in order to sustain drives. Gore has been effective, but more balance on offense will certainly help him out in the second half. The 49ers' lead is just three so it's still anyone's ball game.
The 49ers started their drive at the 22 after the return by Ginn. Gore found some running room up the middle on 2nd down and was stopped just short of the first down. On 3rd and inches, Gore gained two yards and picked up the first down. On the next play, Ginn rolled, gave a pump fake to the defender and threw a strike to Crabtree for another first down. The play was followed by a "BRILLIANT" sound effect from the in-stadium speakers. On 3rd and 7, Smith handed the ball to Gore on a draw, but he was stopped for just a short gain. The fair catch was called for at the 11.
On 3rd and 6, Orton avoided a sack and scrambled for the first down. Orton play faked and hit Brandon Lloyd who was hauled down at the 1-yard line by Mays. Tim Tebow came in and ran it in for the score.
Broncos 7 – 49ers 3
Ginn was brought down at the 22 on the kick return. Smith hit Gore on a screen on the first play of the drive for 7 yards. On 3rd and short, Smith hit Morgan crossing for a gain of 32. Smith had to hurry his thrown on 3rd down for Walker and he didn't see it. Nedney's 52-yard attempt hit the upright.
On the first play of the drive, Moreno took the toss right and was met hard by Mays for a short gain. On 3rd and 8, Manny Lawson came on a stunt up the middle and crushed Orton as he threw. Orton stayed down for a minuted and was able to walk off the field. Brady Quinn is the third quarterback, so if Orton remains out, Tim Tebow would be the QB. Reggie Smith was called for holding on the punt so the 49ers will start their drive from the 7.
Gore picked up 7 yards on 2nd down on a run up the middle. On 3rd and 1, Gore got the handoff on the draw and was stopped for a loss. Royal was stopped at the 42 on the punt return.
Orton remained in the game for Denver. On 1st down, Orton hit Lloyd for a big gain out past the SF 40. The Broncos went with the flea flicker on the next play, but they were called for a chop block which negated the touchdown pass to Gaffney. On 1st and 25, Buckhalter caught the screen pass from Orton for a gain of 8. That's the end of the third quarter.
Highlight Reel: The Broncos play action pass to Brandon Lloyd shifted momentum in the Broncos favor. The hit Manny Lawson put on Orton would be a close second. The hit was textbook and it helped the defense get off the field on 3rd down.
Standout Stat: The 49ers have just 86 yards passing through this point in the game.
Put it in Perspective: The 49ers dodged a bullet with the chop block penalty that negated a touchdown. The game is still within reach, but the 49ers really need a stop on this current drive to keep it a one score game.
Orton hit Thomas who picked up 31 yards and a first down. The 49ers defense held strong after that, forcing three incompletions. Matt Prater hit a 32-yard field goal to give the Broncos a touchdown lead.
Broncos 10 – 49ers 3
Ginn had his best return of the game, taking it out to the 44. On 2nd and 20, Smith stepped up and hit Delanie Walker on a deep post for a 27-yard gain. On the next play, Smith threw it off his back foot to Walker down to the 1-yard line. On 2nd down, Smith rolled right on the bootleg and took it in for the score to tie the game up at 10.
49ers 10 – Broncos 10
Thomas was brought down at the 20 by Bowman on the kickoff return. After a false start, Orton hit Royal on a screen for a gain of 10. Tebow got the carry on 2nd down, but Willis was there to meet him for no gain. On 3rd and 4, Orton threw it to Moreno on an out, but Willis was right there to haul him down after a gain of 2. Colquitt's punt was short and took a 49ers bounce back to the 47.
On 2nd down, Smith threw a dart to Crabtree along the right sideline for a gain of 13. Two plays later, Smith found Crabtree along the left sideline who made the catch and spun in for the touchdown from 28 yards out.
49ers 17 – Broncos 10
Lawson stripped Orton from behind as he scrambled. Spiked recovered and the 49ers got the ball at the 18.
On 3rd and short, Gore plunged ahead to move the chains. 1st and goal at the 5, Gore picked up a couple down to the 2. Norris got the carry on 2nd down and actually lost a yard back to the 3. Gore made good on 3rd down, getting good push from the offensive line for the 3-yard score.
49ers 24 – Broncos 10
With just 3:47 left in the game, I'll have to run down to get ready for postgame, but follow us on Twitter for more updates.

Wow, two struggling teams playing in London. This not a good way to showcase the NFL in Europe. I'm disappointed, frustrated, upset, sad and mad on how the Niner's season is turning out so far. As a niner fan, I'm ready to throw in the towel. This was suppose to be the year that San Francisco was going to make a playoff run and dominate the NFC west. I know Alex Smith is not a very good quarterback but if you look at the depth chart, he gives the team the best chance to win. "Oh well, maybe next season or maybe not".
By Sean on Oct 31, 2010 | Reply
I can hardly wait to see what Troy Smith does. If he does as good as advertised, the team should be able to rally around him and salvage the season. Playoffs are a long shot but not out of reach just yet. If not, then we are playing for draft picks and a new head coach. Go Niners!!!! I am a diehard Niner fan through thick and thin. Im frustrated this year, but cheering for you all the same!!!

I think every Quarterback has potential,and they are only as good as the offensive line that protects him. Alex did his best for what he had to work with.His recievers ,Vernon davis & frank Gore all pulled their own weight.I say beef up that line and we'll win more games. NINERS 4 LIFE !!!!!

I like coach Singletary as a player and person, but not as a head coach. In my opinion he drafted bad and he surrounded himself with second rate coaches. That and his win/loss record says it all. If he can come away with an 8-8 record then I'll eat my words, but I don't believe that is going to happen.

It ALL starts with the COACHING STAFF-HEAD COACH that is-this is the most penalized
team in the NFL-WOW WE are terrible because of very below average coaching. Singeltary talks about needing a leader on the Offense-It starts with him-he's just trying to buy more time by trying to induce the ownership believing more into his B.S. He doesn't know what he is doing as a head coach-PERIOD.
GET HIM OUT OUT OF HERE along with any reminence of the NOLAN era. THIS TEAM BECAUSE OF POOR OWNWERSHIP CHOICES IS REALLY BAD and its SAD.
Let's see what kind of STONES THIS OWNERSHIP HAS!

PLEASE get your head checked out if you do. He would be better than Troy Smith for sure-so would Carr. As far as this team is concerned I think we all see now that ALex is far and above better than ANY QB we have on the roster.

When is Singletary going to get a clue about offensive game plans. I've come to the conclusion that he's a control freak, and wants to dictate every portion of what occurs on the field (Offense and Defense). I don't have a problem with him being involved with the defense. That's his expertise. Let your offensive coordinator do hisr job! It appears to me Singletary wants to do nothing else but run the football down the the throat of every team they play. Leave the offense to the offensive coordinator. That's his expertise not yours. Let him come up with the game plan for the offense. When they open up the offense they start to move the ball. There's no suprise to me why we haven't been successful this year. If you can't trust your coaches to do their job then you need to find another job.

The defense doesn't have to score all the points now, although I know they will take advantage of every scoring opportunity. Good job 49ers. You should have heard the announcer booth. The excitement was beyond belief, it was a joy to be fan. I don't mind watching games like this one. I have great hope for the 49er team at this point.

I swore I was through watching as of last week. I stayed true to my word. I just found out. I was working in my office and all the sudden the whole house started to shake. I thought "oh, wow, must be an earth quake" then lightning started flashing out side my window, and it was a clear blue day! I was freaked out, I thought the world was going to end, so I turned on the TV to see if any thing was being reported around the world, and nothing on the news, then I looked closer and saw a sports score ticker going across the bottom of the screen, and sure enough, the 49ers won a game, so I knew why the house was shaking and lightning was appearing out of a blue sky! It's just like the last 4 years folks, by the time they are eliminated from any sort of playoff birth, they figure a way to win. Doesn't matter, there year is over, look at them Rams with Rookie QB Sam Bradford from Oklahoma, they already have 5 wins! They will get more, we don't have a change in hates to win the division let alone a spot in the playoffs, why else would they start winning now? I am like the other guy, change the coaching staff next year. This year is toast, just like the last 4 years, we don't look good until we are out of it.

If the coach wants to keep his job, then he should step back and let someone else hire a offensive coordinator and leave the decisions to that coach alone, he seems not to understand he is not gifted in that area, neither has anyone he has put in the position.

very slow game today. offense still looked the same. how many receiver screens that went less than 5 yards in the first quarter?, i think it was 4 or 5. and how many run plays that went up the middle with gore? too many. the offense is way too predictable. nice win and all, but the offense needs to open up a whole lot more. the defense is still allowing big plays or long extensive drives. not the way to win. cant play that way against the western division, the 49ers will lose against the seahawks, rams and cardinals if the 49ers play like they did the first 3 quaters this game.

troy never got sacked nor did he ever make any bad decisions, he knew what to do under pressure and threw a bomb to delaney walker which was hella lucky. but it was between champ baily and dawkins.

I think we found ourselves our future quarterback, Troy Smith. We just need to make better calls to finish the games. The end stunk. Why not try to get first down, and finish games instead of trying to punt and have our defense end games. Things can go so wrong. We were lucky it didn't. Like they always say play full 60 minutes. Why not finish with offense on the field. Why take a chance? I am happy that we won. See hope in Troy with his athletic ability. Nice. Lets clean up little mistakes, and improve on play calling on offense. Our defense is good, but I still think it is not as good as last year. So we need to keep scoring points if we can instead of trying to eat up the clock, and do something stupid again to cost us the game such as a fumble or something, and giving another team a good field position or by punting, make them run all the way.Lets go 49ers. I think its time to open up on offense. We so what Troy is capable of doing. I hope our OC can open up his book little bit more.

Not that anyone on this site has remembered anything I have said, but im going to say it again. Alex Smith has made the whole organization look bad "Only HIM". Not Only has he affected the organization but he has made the fans retarted. Alex is gone victory is here as long as he never steps on the field for the 49ers again. Troy Smith has not had a chance to prove him self as a winner or loser in the NFL, ALEX had 6 years Carr these two proven losers. The coaching staff will grow when they have a winning QB to grow around. I'm happy if we do not look backwards, no coach in the NFL can win with ALEX Smith as there QB.

Today's game showed the difference between what Troy can bring to the team and what Alex does not bring:
1) Leadership – anyone here see the postgame video on this website where Troy gathered his team around him while inspiring his teammates with a speech? I've never seen Alex do this his entire career. Troy is the vocal leader we need at the QB position and the players will follow his lead.
By ChickenFriedRice on Nov 1, 2010 | Reply
2) Poise – Troy never got rattled when under pressure. That long bomb he threw to Delanie Walker was executed because Troy wasn't afraid to let it loose, although a lil luck helped. Alex, on the other hand, would've thrown that ball away or gotten it picked off.
By ChickenFriedRice on Nov 1, 2010 | Reply
#3) Trust – You can see that Troy has faith in his offensive line and wants to lead them. He even commended the O-line on their effort. What niner fans witnessed was a near perfect performance by the O-Line: no sacks allowed, no major costly penalties, no int's for Troy, and 100+ yds rushing for Gore. No coincidence that even Brian Westbrook got involved and had a nice highlight, his first meaningful play of the season. Wow is all I gotta say.

We will see eventually that once the coaching staff and players on offense all start to follow Troy's lead, the collective effect will trickle down to the defensive players as well and next thing you know, we're gonna start pitching shutouts just like the G-Men are doing in the World Series.
It is extremely vital that the 49ers immediately "catch" the winning fever surrounding the entire city and follow the baseball Giants' lead. Psychologically, the city and its fans are at an all-time high right now.
What more if the Niners start doing what they're supposed to do???
By ChickenFriedRice on Nov 1, 2010 | Reply
Im sure Singletary is beggining to believe that maybe Troy is a better fit personality wise with the receivers than Alex will ever be.
If we win two in a row with Troy, then Im sure he will get the nod as the starting quarterback until he falters or gets hurt. It's only fair this way. But if Singletary puts Alex back as the starter even after Troy proves that he is leading this team to wins, then Im sorry but Singletary will have to go.
By KDB on Nov 1, 2010 | Reply
The players have not EVER been the issue-Alex included-OUR COACHES are the problem-Happy to see Troy play well, he played as well as Alex did against New Orleans-Let's put this in prospective.
WE ARE A VERY POORLY COACHED TEAM. WE ALSO LEAD THE NFL IN PENALTIES which has put our offense in serious holes like 3rd and a country mile many many times.
Time for Singeltary to GET SOME GONE. Even if we win the West at 8-8–BYE BYE BABY.
By ChickenFriedRice on Nov 1, 2010 | Reply
KDB: its a combination of both. Not just the players fault. Not just the coaching staff's fault. It's both. here's why:
1) Players still have to execute on the field and not make mistakes to take them out of games. Coaches cannot coach effort.
2) Coaches still have to put together a solid game plan and strategize accordingly. If not, you put your players in position to lose.
Therefore, it boils down to the intangibles.
- Players have to play for each other. Why is it on the post game interviews that guys like Takeo Spikes talked about how the players were pretty much forced to hang out with each other. This, in turn, led to a much better bonding among the guys and look at the result: a game played with much better precision and execution than in weeks' past
- Coaches have to believe in their players and open up the playbook and let em loose so that they can maximize their talents.
- Once the intangibles are fulfilled, the trickle down effect is that players on both sides – offense and defense – will all of a sudden be in sync not only on the practice field but on game day. EVERYONE WILL PLAY FOR EACH OTHER.
You can't tell me that the Saints championship was all coaching because Sean Payton didn't do jack with that team the year before they won the big one. You can't tell me that the Giants Super Bowl win was all coaching because Tom Coughlin didn't do jack with that squad the year before and he surely didn't do anything with a solid Jacksonville team before he went to NY.
Football is the ultimate team sport. Therefore it is imperative that both the players and coaches are all on the same page on and off the football field. A team that has ultimate camaraderie and a team that believes in each other and a team that sacrifices for each other is the team that usually wins it all.
By ChickenFriedRice on Nov 1, 2010 | Reply
These two relatively no-name coaches in Coughlin and Payton are just as good, in my opinion, as Mike Singletary or Mike Nolan.
The reason Sean Payton and Tom Coughlin won the Super Bowl was because
the players played all out no holds barred football.
The 49ers have the talent but the players fail to play for each other because they don't have anything to believe in. This is part coaching and part team dynamics/cohesion/execution.
If the Niner players could only perform up to their potential, then maybe they'd have the moxie to be able to go deep in the playoffs and make Singletary look good.
And please don't tell me that Alex Smith has nothing to do with the Niners underachieving the last three years. His failure to develop and improve is the main reason the Niners cannot get off the hump. I guarantee you will see the difference between Troy's and Alex's toughness and leadership skills in the upcoming weeks.

Yes, Alex is a main contributor as to why the team has not progressed over the last couple of years. He has ability, but he does not have "IT"! Instead of avoiding pressure, he runs from it and then throws the ball away. Alex is a coach killer and some of what chickenfired says is true in that the coach has to be the ultimate motivator and rely on position coaches to make things run smoothly.
I like Sing. a lot, but if we neet to go another direction, Chucky or Cowher (proven winners) would be my choice as they could hire iin winner coordinators and not be intimidated by them. I think the players would really connect with Gruden too.
I pray we somehow make the playoffs and then all bets are off…motivation and playing together will be key. Two games against the Rams and Cardinals yet and Seahawks at home!!

No new players until we make a MAJOR COACHING and GM change.
Sean Peyton learned under Parcells and he was a Coordinator during his time under the BIG TUNA. NUFF SAID.
And if you think Alex is to blame to where this franchise is-your kidding yourself. This is a beat the dead horse issue. San Diego fans wanted to get rid of Drew Brees-Nuff said. alex ain't Drew but you get the point.
What has Singeltary done to deserve this job? I mean what has he EVER Coordinated, ZERO. He makes the Niners look like the "Keystone Cops".

WE ARE A VERY POORLY COACHED TEAM. WE ALSO LEAD THE NFL IN PENALTIES which has put our offense in serious holes like 3rd and a country mile many many times.
Time for Singeltary to GET SOME GONE. Even if we win the West at 8-8–BYE BYE BABY.

Need a new QB.. Lets keep Troy Smith for the rest of the season and we'll have a better chance for the playoffs than Alex will give us… Maybe, just maybe.. he will learn something by sitting back on the sidelines and watching Troy at work… Love my team.. but damn.. don't they know Alex is not a leader!! He will not block for a team mate(As Troy did lastnight), he drops balls and throws too many nterceptions.. He's not a leader!!!! No one takes him serious!!! He likes to play scared.. and thats not what this team needs!

What we need is to have the players to realize we cannot rely on what people think. If we were to have played the under dog role this whole year instead of the "expected NFC West champs", we would have maybe had that extra little push in those close games and we wouldnt be on this web site criticizing every other person on the team and or staff. FANS/POSER FANS- The team we have right now is the team we have; stop criticizing them because unless you're going to throw on a jersey and do better than shut up. I'm sick of all these people singling out people when this is a team sport. Yes we may not have a MVP QB, or a coach who knows every little thing about his profession, or even a offense/Defense that can just have their way with opponents, but thats what makes me watch this team every single sunday. I love every single touchdown we score, every sack we get, and every little detail about this team because if I didn't then what is there to be a fan about and cheer for? I take pride in wearing the 49er apparel i own because for every few haters there is one person who respects me for being a true fan for a team that hasnt been a top tier team the last few years. Every team realizes the 49ers potential as well considering our teams 6 losses, 4 of which have been by 3 points or less, so i dont know why everybody is acting as if we are getting blown out every sunday. LOVE, LIVE, BREATH, and REP THE NINERS ALL DAY EVERY DAY!

Yea they need to put together a string of good wins to salvage the season but whatever happens let's definitely move on at QB position and possibly HC. I like Sing. but if he stays nothing will change on offense and they would most likely sign Alex to a 3 year deal or something stupid? Then I will have to listen to a very few minority of fans cheer and make excuses for an under achieving QB.
I like this guy Troy, i think he is only going to get better. You saw what he could do when they stopped running it every down. He had a few bad throws but not bad first time out…I think Nate Davis would have done just as well? He should be the 2nd QB and move on from Alex And Car…I like to see more of Dixon and Westbrook.

I'm not whinning just a realist, and I did wear a jersey just for another team in the NFL and did pretty well too. Too old now though- ha ha.
In any event, when all of they cry babies started throwing stones at Alex Smith I just felt it necessary to point out what I think the REAL problems are beyond him. And my point is-it ain't one kid that has damaged this team, it's WAY more than that; however, if missguided fans are going to point at one guy then I'm bringing the QUALIFIED LUMBER to point out that it's WAY MORE THAN ONE GUY-U understand that now? Good.
We have Major issues WAY beyond one kid, and that's been my entire point ALL ALONG. And until people that don't know the game very well, these missguided fans keep saying this ignorant stuff, I'll keep swinging the Lumber because Alex can do fine as can Troy smith, etc. Did Troy provide a spark, sure he did, but he also got lucky with that Rainbow that should have been picked off to Delanie, but that's what happens when we get a few breaks.
Please don't think I don't want them to win. I'm as big a Niner fan that there is, but I also understand the ebbs and flows and coaching and PLAYING and I really think we are a 500 team with this staff @ BEST, PERIOD.
I could be wrong but I really don't think so. So I'll root but I won't shut up.
GO GMen. Bruc Bochy, now there is a very good coach. Mike Shannahan, Andy Ried. Singeltary has taken out any coach that could threaten him so I think he self promotes WAY TOO MUCH, IMO.

I was at the game on Sunday – voice still hurts from all the shoutin' – hope we did you faithful proud.
As a Brit, I'm used to seeing coaches being made scape goats and public enemy #1 when the chips are down in soccer. Yet time after time, it's often stability you need rather than constantly drafting in fresh blood. We often have the misconception that a new coach is going to work miracles immediately. I say give Singletary a chance to get a well led team and then if things still go pear shaped, the axe should be considered…
Personally I think the team is just going through like this awkward puberty stage right now but will quickly mature.
If Troy Smith is given a chance and continues improving and getting that link with the running backs and wide receivers then I think you'll start to see more varied plays.
Until then, while its your basic no frills offense, its not like the looping running plays arent shifting the chains right?
But then what do I know, I'm British lol

Great 2nd half of the game! Troy did good…not great yet and I'm sure it will come with time if"Sing" turns him loose!? With all of the fire power the niners have, when you put just a quarterback with leaderhsip qualities like Troy or NATE DAVIS, you get a whole different team whos "shortcomings" dont stand out as much. Lets see what happens with a pretty "good Rams team" at 4 – 4. Come on Troy lets do it again!! GO NINERS!!

I have a hard time believing that troy is a better QB then Alex. I think Sing is a smart coach and he knows this. I just hope he doesn't listen to all the hipe. We've had several games where we were in it and someone other than smith let us down. Let's remember, special teams turn overs against Seattle, defense let down against saints, total miss agains chiefts, Gore fumbles against eagles, Clement fumble against falcons, and Car pick against Carolina… why does smith get all the blaime! Have you seen the throws this guy can make. He has a great arm and a great football IQ. Did you see the courage he had against New Orleans and Philly. He battled back, he didn't get much help that game.
We are a better team with Smith… I don't care what the record says. This is a team sport and if other guys do their job we have more chance to win with Smith. Denver is horrible, Smith has been through a lot this year and is ready to turn that experience into Ws in the second half of the year.
Go niners and go Smith!!

KDB: you call Mike Shanahan a great coach? Give me a break. He has done NOTHING since winning with John Elway and as OC with the Niners. What did he do with the Raiders? Nothing. What did he do with Denver post Elway/Terrell Davis? Nothing. Nothing but a bunch of playoff disappointments with loaded offensive teams. Simply put, Shanahan is nothing but a good coordinator. But he is not a great coach. What's he doing with Washington right now? Nothing. Tom Cable has as good a record than Shanahan and Oakland is in a tougher conference. Nuff said.
Andy Reid? Has he won the big one? Yeah, he got to the Super Bowl alright… with Brian Dawkins in his prime, with Donovan McNabb in his prime, with Terrell Owens in his Pro Bowl days, with arguably a top three defense three years straight in the early 2000s. But yet his coaching genius and top ranked defense couldn't defeat Tom Brady in the Big Game. NUFF SAID.
You clown Singletary yet you don't even realize that he had to start from scratch with this team. Nothing but young inexperienced players. What about last year's top notch defense that LED THE TEAM TO A 4-2 finish? Do you give him credit for that?
You are too quick to knock Singletary without even seeing what he can do once his team actually goes through the "ebbs and flows" of winning and losing, in other words… the journey. Give the guy a chance and since you CLAIM YOU PLAYED IN THE NFL, THEY YOU OUT OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT ITS THE COMBINATION OF PLAYERS EXECUTING ON THE FIELD AND COACHES PROPERLY PREPARING THEIR TEAMS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO GENERATE LONG TERM SUCCESS. Nuff Said.

He will have had 2 & 1/2 yrs at season's end-that's plenty of time. your correct about starting from scratch and that's been my point and why folks need to get off Alex or any one player for that matter, you are correct.
Now the KC coach has started from scratch and what's he done?
He's hired a proven O/C and D/C and surrounded himself with people BETTER than him, Singeltary is affraid to do that. I'm just done with him. He is very inexperienced and this job needs a guy that has a system that is ORGANIZED and at Niner land right now, this is not the case IMO, you can see it everywhere.
Shannahan is a VERY good coach, that doesn't even need to be said no matter anyone says and I HATE THE BRONCOS.

mike is afraid of quality offensive coordinator- i just find it difficult to coincide th
killer linebacker of yesteryear and the self promoting concept his inexperience
as head coach show: inability to adjust throughout the games. but tossing out
the blame game i saw the promise of a true player. if one has or has not played this game (at whatever level); you played it because you love it. not politically correct to admit that you like the "HIT" you liked the "PAIN". the twisted world we live in. Troy Smith showed swagger (easy movement with the ball) no overgrip throw aways, int., missed some but the throws were accurate (most) and with "TOUCH". Air mail to Delanie was amazing. Yes, ballzzzzeee, but that is part luck and part make your own luck. Therein lies one of the major differencies between Troy & Alexia. That kind of confidence comes from believing in yourself. the intangible of spontaneity and creativity.
Tunnel vision Alexia cannot "see the field" he panics instead of overcomes.
That my friends is a lack of BALLS. It really looks to me that the 49ers have
found the quarterback they need. Go Niners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can findf it difficult all you want about what I think about Singeltary but that's what I think and see. Yes he is affraid of having a quality O/c and D/C because he could lose his job more easily that way, proven, Mike Martz. Like him or not was a waaaaay better decision than what he has done with Raye or Johnson. But Martz could take his job and that's why he's gone, PERIOD.
Troy played well and I'm happy but that throw to Delaine was a PRAYER not a gutsy play, it was desparation but, I'm glad it was answered, and if you look @ my earlier statement, I said that's how you get the breaks when things are going your way. Alex is a fine QB, nuff said there again.
We ain't going anywhere until this ENTIRE STAFF IS GONE. And when I say going anywhere, 8-8 again ain't good enough nor is it enough to build on with Singeltary again and again.

KDB… yes you have a valid point about Singletary possibly being worried about losing his job when you have a proven coordinator like Martz and hence his firing… but do you know this for sure??? This is pure speculation my friend. Do you actually know what is going on behind the scenes regarding the politics of the this team??? Bottom line, we don't know this. Martz could have left because of other reasons.
But if you're right regarding this theory, you still have to give Singletary his due ESPECIALLY since he has ZERO experience. Granted, Singletary probably wants TOTAL CONTROL and there are some good and bad things to this.
I prefer to look at the positive because Im sure Singletary is a winner and that he actually DESIRES to win. Therefore his mentality of COMPLETE CONTROL will eventually loosen up just like his demeanor over the last couple years. When he first came in as coach, he got in people's face and was dominating his players just like his playing days. He realized that this didn't work and now he's a lot more mellow as a coach and learned to tone it down a bit.
He will transform his tendencies for the betterment of winning. Once he sees that Troy Smith is and should be the STARTER and once the NIners pull off several consecutive winning streaks, Singletary will slowly start to give Mike Johnson his due and his respect and the overall locker room camaraderie I've been talking about will gradually begin to come to fruition. Just watch.
By ChickenFriedRice on Nov 2, 2010 | Reply
I don't think Singletary is afraid to place better people around him. I think Singletary simply wants to put people on his team that can see eye to eye with him and those whom he's comfortable with.
Maybe Martz tried to do too much? Who knows? Remember, a coordinator, no matter how much experience you've had, should still have a certain amount of respect for the head coach. Maybe Martz tried to go above Singletary. Just sayin.'
I'm sure if Mike Singletary had the opportunity to hire Jerry Rice as receivers coach and they saw eye to eye, then he'd do it. I really don't think he's intimidated by other coaches who could possibly take his place. I doubt it. You gotta remember, this guy Singletary was NEVER INTIMIDATED BY ANYONE ON THE PLAYING FIELD. So why would he be intimidated by a coach? This is a lame excuse for his track record as head coach.
I say 65% of the blame has to go to THE PLAYERS FOR A LACK OF FOCUS, EXECUTION, and WILLINGNESS TO PLAY FOR EACH OTHER. Listen to Takeo Spikes comments during the post game press conference about what he thinks was one of the keys to their victory over the Broncos while being in England for a week which thereby forced all the players to hang out with each other, spend time with each other, and basically build camaraderie.
Just as in any sport, it's about the INTANGIBLES. Perfect example – WORLD CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS, a team with no big bats yet does all the intangibles and executes to perfection.
By KDB on Nov 2, 2010 | Reply
I can see your points to a degree and I can appreciate your nice explanation. BUT, I just think playing as an ALL-PRO doesn't necessarily transend into being an ALL PRO coach if you will. Nor does the "not intimidated" aspect, two totally diffferent animals. You can't coach like he played because with hs playing came tremendous experience which he lacks as a HEAD COACH. He has NEER Coordinated at any level and I think that this is a MAJOR problem and it shows. He was the right choice to fill infor Nolan's exit but nothing more than that I believe. Case N Point-You cannot run a business without mentorship and I don't feel as though Mike Nolan was a good mentor as a Head Coach. So that being considered, he's out of his league and I don't want to go 8-8 again. But IF we do, I don't want him back, I'm ready for a change with a seasoned Head Coach, or a Jim Harbaugh type younger coach with a seasoned GM. We need it bad.
No inside info on my end, purely speculation but it seems as though we have some self serving players but maybe because they see what I'm describing on the organizational level and just buying time because they know and want him gone???
Way to GO GIANTS now that was AWESOME.
By ChickenFriedRice on Nov 2, 2010 | Reply
KDB – well said, and I understand your view point completely. Mentorship is huge in any business enterprise. You may be right. True, Singletary doesn't have coordinating experience let along head coaching experience and this may end up contributing to his demise especially when fans ARE DEMANING TO WIN NOW. Time is definitely not on his side when we've underachieved this year despite the strong finish last year.
This is obviously not San Diego or Seattle, where playoff appearances suffice. This is San Francisco, where anything less than a Super Bowl win is considered a failure much like my Los Angeles Lakers.

Good conversation KDB…i have this gut feeling we're gonna turn it around. I hope you'll have more faith in Singletary. I honestly do believe he knows what he's doing and he does recognize the SF 49er tradition of excellence.
The players recognize this. The players will get inspired by the Giants' success. And most importantly the players will turn it around because they are now being led by a leader at the quarterback position who seemingly doesn't get rattled under pressure.
We shall see…

I hope beyond hope that Singletary finds a way to finish 10-6 so I can eat crow for saying he is in over his head as a head coach. Come on Mike, prove all of us nay sayers wrong. You can do it.

Dr. Tomlinson Speaks at McClain Commencement
Dr. Heather Tomlinson, Konneker-Cutler Scholar '00, was the speaker at McClain High School's Commencement on May 20.
Dr. Tomlinson graduated from McClain High School in 1996 and attended Ohio University where she obtained a bachelor of science in biochemistry and a minor in business.
As part of the Cutler Scholars Program, Dr. Tomlinson held a community service internship at The Ohio Hunger Task Force, a business internship at Diagnostic Hybrids, Inc., in Athens, and traveled abroad to do medical research at the University of Udine in Italy. After graduating with honors from OU, Dr. Tomlinson obtained a Ph.D. in pharmacology from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, studying the mechanism of evolution and drug resistance of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Dr. Tomlinson says that the inspiration for her speech was Dr. Konneker's life. She focused on the saying: "Sometimes you just have to take a leap and build your wings on the way down" by Kobi Yamada.
She further discussed the difficult circumstances that Dr. Konneker overcame to become such a successful and influential person.
"My goal" wrote Dr. Tomlinson, "was to remind the graduates that, at this crossroads and in the future when they face obstacles, they should meet challenges head-on — even if those challenge seem insurmountable."
Tomlinson recently moved to the Columbus area with her husband Adam, where she will be an active member of the Ohio University 2013 Fund Campaign for the Cutler Scholars Program and a member of the Ohio Project Lead the Way Executive Council for the Ohio Department of Education.

News purely related to TNRF.
The African Development Bank invited TNRF to serve as a panelist in a seminar aimed at strategizing and defining a way forward for effective engagement between the Bank and civil society organizations (CSOs). Specifically, TNRF was asked to share experiences and strategies on how the Bank can operationalize the framework with CSOs at project level. TNRF's Head of Programmes, Geofrey Mwanjela, served on a panel with other CSOs from across Africa (Ghana, Kenya, Benin, Cameroon, Tunis, South Africa), and participated in discussions that ranged from issues of natural resources, human rights, gender, and education to agriculture. The Bank's senior staff, including the first Vice President, participated in the discussions.
TNRF, working in collaboration with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), is implementing a program to increase awareness about natural resource and investment laws and policies in Tanzania so that Tanzanians are able to protect their rights to their land and resources. TNRF has produced a radio series that breaks down the legal jargon around land and investment laws, making them more accessible and understandable to your average citizen.
Learn more, listen to the programs online or get the radio schedule here.
On January 16th, the Constitutional Review Commission invited TNRF and two other NGOs - HakiArdhi and SHARINGO - to present civil society's views and opinions about the role of natural resources and environmental issues in the constitution. Following a one-day workshop where TNRF collected input from CSOs, TNRF presented the opinions on the new constitution to the Commission. The Commission provided feedback and TNRF will submit all final opinions to the Commission by January 25th.

What can investors realistically expect from the stock market in the long run?
It may be time for many individuals to do a reality check.
Several polls have found that many investors expect stock market returns in the forseeable future to equal or exceed those of the past decade. Even recent market convulsions seemed to be viewed by most individuals as merely a bump in the road that has delivered annual returns averaging 15 percent the past decade, with returns averaging closer to 30 percent the past several years.

Zeducorp is a professional consulting firm that was founded in 1983 to
provide custom software design and development services for IBM and Zenith
personal computers. During the 1980s, Zeducorp staff developed a
range of commercial software applications using the Digital Research
PL/I-86 compiler and the Microsoft Basic interpreters and compilers.
Our current expertise includes relational database design and programming
for Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS, as well as website development and
targeted website promotion. On each website we develop, we include
useful, original content plus relevant digital images.
Over the past 25 years, we have specialized in multi-user relational database design and development for Novell Netware and Microsoft Windows servers using Data Access' DataFlex tools and in web database development using the Miva server-side scripting tools. During the last 12 years, as the Internet has become an important public forum, we have begun to focus on website development for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome web browsers. We also provide targeted marketing services for websites using content optimization, social networking media, relevant directory inclusions, and pay per click tools such as Google's AdWords. We offer ongoing support to our clients.
During the last few years, small mobile devices such as cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and mobile Internet devices (MIDs) have become popular tools for accessing the World Wide Web via wireless connections. Most of our websites, with their conservative use of CSS and Javascript, work well with these mobile devices. Our Link Tags portal is particularly well-suited to browsing the web on a mobile device.
Our map publishing division features a selection of printable, online maps of the continents and major countries as well as states in the USA. The United States Map website features political maps, highway maps, and topographical maps of the entire country and its regions.
Our website directory division publishes a Regional Business Directory plus two searchable information directories.
Our Chosen Sites division features selected goods and services websites that are targeted to the U.S. market. Each niche website typically features a topical overview plus links to consumer information, manufacturers, and shopping.
Our Web Site Tools division is a provider of web site development, promotion, tracking and management tools. Of special interest is our unique HTML Colors tool, which features movable, resizable swatches of the 216 'safe' HTML colors. These colors were suggested as a World Wide Web standard some years ago, when Microsoft and Apple operating systems each reserved about 20 different system colors and computer display adapters often supported only 256 colors (especially at higher resolutions).
Our Pay Per Click Tools division features several online advertising tools that can reach target audiences efficiently and build website traffic quickly.

YouTube Sensation Tanya Burr is a 24-year-old beauty expert, who has taken the video-sharing site by storm with her accessible and aspirational make-up and style tutorials. At the forefront of beauty, Tanya is also followed for her fashion flare. During this season's London Fashion Week, she sat front row at shows for designers such as Mulberry, Topshop Unique and Burberry. Now you can see what she gets up to in a typical week with her Grazia diary in pics…
This week Tanya celebrated the launch of her new beauty range Tanya Burr Lips & Nails with eye CANDY. She's been preparing for the launch party while putting the finishing touches to the line of cute lip glosses and pretty nail polishes - all named after her favourite things.
"It couldn't have been more stressful," says Tanya. "The nail polish only arrived two hours before the party. it's been so crazy. I was so involved in the making of the whole and kept being like 'oh let's send that back let's change this a little bit I worse working right up to the last minute."
The party was a beauty bonanza. Held at the The Sanderson Hotel in London, it was packed full of Tanya's friends - including fiancé Jim Chapman and his sisters Sam and Nicola - and everyone tucked into tasty canapés and cake pops.
"My fans have inspired the products," says Tanya. "I wanted to make it so fun. they're so much like me and just love fun stuff and colour and pastels and everything very pretty.
After such a busy few days it's no surprise the super blogger took some time out on Friday to relax with her family by heading to park to feed the squirrels.
