Szczesny's dad blasts Wenger in Polish press
Wojciech Szczesny's dad, Maciej, has criticised Arsene Wenger for insisting that his son play with injuries, and said the Polish keeper was 'foolish' to do so.
Speaking to przegladsportowy.pl before their World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Ukraine, the man who once punched Roberto Mancini in the head, said there's no chance that Szczesny will play for his country this week, and has questioned why it was necessary for him to play with an injury.
"Wojciech had two serious injuries," he said. "He played with one in April and May. He shouldn't have agreed to play that time but the coach insisted. Wenger was playing with the young man's good health and Wojciech agreed foolishly.
"Last April and May Wojciech did not train the whole week and than a warm up on Friday and played the match on Saturday. He was naturally more susceptible to minor injuries and his form was going down.
"In my opinion Mister Wenger 'bugged out' a lot in April and May. I don't blame the young man who went along with his coach, his current lack of form is a result of those two months.
"In addition to that in August there was an metatarsus injury after which he played almost instantly. After seven weeks out Wojciech trained for just seven days and played the match. How on earth can he be on his highest form?"
And having been dropped in recent games for fellow Pole, Lukasz Fabianski, Szczesny Sr believes the Arsenal manager has questions to answer.
"Wenger already started to look for the scapegoat," he continued. "It is not the way the boss should behave. His transfer policy is failing, there are a lot of injuries which is also significant. The guy is wrong permanently."
Harsh words indeed and ones unlikely to make his son's life any easier, but let's hope Jr gets his head down, works hard and finds his form again.

Anyone is entitled to their opinion, and it can be interesting when its someone close to a player, but if that was my dad id give him a slap. Its irresponsible with no real point and it just going to create a media shit circus and pressure on schezzerz.

I see that Chessers has released a statement detaching himself from his dad's comments and saying he loves AFC.
Parents should never get involved.Remember seeing them on the touch line when I was playing as a child.The more they
screamed the more embarrassed we all became.Those were the days

This sounds a bit like a salvo against the club for possibly dropping him. Oh well, life is always interesting at the Emirates

Fabianski is playing fine at the moment. Let him take his time and recover.
I doubt Wenger playing anyone who's even slightly injured. He's usually very cautious

Not to belittle Fabianski's efforts , but even my grandma would have kept a clean sheet vs Swansea ie Fabiansku made ZERO saves.
His distribution helped though

That's a joke, right? Robben one-on-one, various long-shot saves he kept out without spilling. Mihcu one-on-one that was offside anyway. Pretty sure your grandma would have broken both her hips doing that.

Now that's what I call dumb. Just when one Pole is finding his form the other Pole's dad criticises the manager…..I can almost see which Pole may benefit.

The fact that wenger chose to play Wojiech when he was carrying an injury showed how much faith he put in him.
If Majiec thought coming out to rightly/wrongly critisize wenger might help schezzers case then he's dead wrong. Parents can be so dumb/blind at times…smh

It's ridiculous.

His current lack of form is from an injury almost a year ago? Ok….

This is why people should not comment on their children in the media (in sports anyway, missing child appeals are fine). Szcz Snr should have spoken with Szcz Jnr and, if they agreed, Jnr could have a talk with Wenger. This does no favours for anyone except lazy members, and I can't stress 'members' enough, of the press.

What did his dad balame for the woeful display he put in for Poland in the Euro's?
5 0
How is an injury suffered almost a whole year ago, going to affect his form this year? It may affect his development but you can still find good form.Wilshere is a great example of this. Injured for 18 months, comes back and has been in great form but showed rustiness at the start due to his delayed development.
Seems like it's a case of Szczensy Sr being upset his son has been dropped and needed to find someway of complaining about it
56 1
I hope Sr realizes that by blasting Wenger publicly, he's only making life harder for his Woj at the Arsenal.

I thought The FA did a campaign to try and stop these nagging parents getting involved?
36 2
True as it may seem, it wasn't Wenger who made him get that red in Poland's opening match. To be fair though, I don't think Szczesny has been THAT bad (certainly not a lot worse than most others). I certainly wouldn't mind if he was goalkeeper next game…even though Fabianski has been really good, I definietly don't feel uncomfortable with having Szczesny in goal. For me the main problem was with Vermaelen playing instead of Koscielny.
The press just keep giving Szcz a hard time because he's young and not British. They didn't have any positive articles about him during the week we won against Sunderland, but once he got dropped/made a couple of mistakes we were apparently going to sell him for fucking Reina…I mean what the fuck. If you want further proof of the bias then just look at how there have been no articles about Walcott's form, he's been so shit ever since signing his new contract…sigh.

Sir Chez looks like a school boy in the pic.

WTF!!! Does he actually love his son?

He does, but he is also stupid and doesn't know when to shut up. This can only make the situation worse.

Sounds just like Bendtners dad and look where that got him.

There's not a lot to say about this really.

Lets ask Fab's mum what she thinks…in fact lets ask everyone's mums and dads their opinions and then we can choose the team based on their opinions of their children…
Or, as anyone involved in coaching will attest, maybe not.
25 2
I would honestly like to know if he had made any of these comments earlier or if he's just pulling this shit out now due to Fab's comeback. Maybe he made similar comments beforehand. Otherwise he's a fucknut

He should have stuck to punching Mancini in the face.

No surprise there. Wenger did it with Cesc and Henry all the time. Who remembers a clearly unfit Cesc coming on to save us against Villa and having to limp immediately after scoring. That what happens when you are overly reliant on one quality player in a squad.
24 21
stupid rants.Schechny was in poor form.Thats why he was dropped.This guys just made the matter worse.
8 3
Now don't get me wrong, i like Szczesny occasional bouts of arrogance/confidence but until he can maintain that level of top form consistently, perhaps he and his dad should shut up?
That's not to say that wenger isn't at fault at all, i mean when u consider fabianski was supposed to leave ages ago and we were supposed to bring in an experienced GK ages ago as well, think its best everyone just get on with their jobs.

by that logic, wojciech was possessed against sunderland!

Sometimes they and the manager can be poles apart though.

there's a basement at ashburton grove where the goalkeepers are sent for punishment
it's called the pole vault

He may as well have punched Woj in the face for all the sense his comments made wonder if his dad used to punch his teachers in school
10 1
I wouldn't take anything this guy says seriously.
He barely speaks to his son. From what I've heard and seen, Wojciechs parents are divorced and he prefers his mum to his dad (I remember a video about his personal life back in Poland).
Sounds like another person with a big opinion which carries little weight.
16 4
I don't think so actually, I thought he said that he speaks to his dad after every single game to discuss how it went, how to improve, etc. Since they were both goalkeepers they do talk a lot to each other about performances and form, etc.
21 0
Change his name or at least change spell to "Wocheck Shezny…" his form will improve. Trust me… You have to trust me. He has been our GK for 2 odd years we still cant spell his name confidently. You know where the problem is.
7 1
If I was Wojciech Szczesny, I would be like Dad WTF?? What is wrong with you.
But I also think why his dad was keeping quite all the while and moaning now. If Szczesny doesn't play until end and his Dad keep making noise, then we all know where the actual noise coming from.

End of season media offensive much? ISn't Sczezney's father his agent as well? Might be sending out the feelers of discontent with his son amongst other interested clubs?

Defo not his agent. He was when he was 16. But I think he has a professional telling him now

This guy needs a reality check! Who in there right mind would criticise the coach who has put so much faith in a very young keeper?
Sczezney was given a real chance to grab the position and fell due to a dip in form not because he was injured a year ago. It's up to him now to reclaim his spot but with parents going public it will only make matters more difficult for him at the club.
His father should make a public apology to Wenger and Arsenal football club before the media cream themselves with this.
If this was a parent of mine I would have some serious words with them because all this will do is cause friction between coach and keeper.

Oh dear, 2 games on the bench and his dad has already gone mad.

It's just a dad sticking up for his son. Nothing for any Gonners to get upset about.

If this happened at United, Chesney would never play for United again, and be promptly sold in the summer. No doubt he is a good keeper, but not the ONLY good keeper in the world.
If Wenger opted to act in the same way, I would be fully behind him. While I have issues with Wenger, as those who read my views may know, but this is just plain nonsense. The manager of a club is not someone that the dad's of players should be taking pot shots at. Also this again shows that Wenger has too amiable a nature. The dad of a kid at United would not even think of such nonsense. Wenger really needs to put his foot down, and I fully support him in that.
16 1
I mean I would at some level understand if he just confined himself to Chesney not playing. But to talk about the transfer policy and Wenger as a scapegoat, are terroties strictly off limits.
12 1
Well szesz senior, without arsene wenger, szeszney juniors career wouldn't have even started yet. If his transfer policy was better, then there's a chance we would have bought a keeper, and noone would of heard of szeszney junior and certainly wouldnt know who the Fuck szesznry senior is!
20 1
There both shit . My kingdom for a keeper
2 12
Where do they shit?

Kind of agree with some of what schez dad is saying. Not the injury rubbish. But the failed transfer plan and wenger losing sight making a fair amount of mistakes players replacing the stars aren't good enough. But hey that's obvious doesn't need his dad to tell us!

The defenders were at ease when Sczcesny was behind them which might have led to those idiotic defending because they are defending much better now since fabianskis return guess they think he might fuck up so may be more protection.So when defence gets comfortable with fab i say put manonne in goal so they have to be at their best at all times.
i hope sczcesny returns early fully fit with a better distribution because he is bad at it.Still amazed he cant clear the ball with taking two steps back which lands inside our half.

Wonder if he'd say that if Fabianski was on the bench.
6 0
There are few more interesting quotes from Szczesny's dad.
I told him not to play. I've said don't play. Don't weaken your arm. Take a break, heal the injury. There will be a time when your form will start to drop and Wenger won't remember your sacrifices. He will bench you.
And one more
Transfers didn't work for Wenger lately. His best players have been leaving and new ones were worse. His constantly wrong. His players are often injured – I wonder about their training process. Team plays in embarassing way. They lose with Tottenham 1:2 losing two goals in two minutes in exactly same way. One could suspect that opponents know that Arsenal makes same mistakes over and over again.
And the last one.
-Do you think Wenger's time at Arsenal is over?
-I think he needs a vacation. 3 days or 8 months – I don't know him that well. But it would be good for him to take some time off. Get rid of pressure and stress. I believe his a good teacher and good coach but lately he has lost it a bit. And his 'business plan' for Arsenal didn't work either. It would be good to come up with a slight modification of it.

Well that's just even more embarrassing for Szczesny Senior and unfortunately Junior too. I like Woj but he has had a dip in form, but its one that I'm confident he will recover from. But I respect Wenger for benching him and starting Fabianski. Being a 22 year old keeper doesn't always guarantee you a start at a reputable club and you'd be foolish, father or not, to assume otherwise, especially when form dips.

Szczesny can't complain about being dropped, his form was dreadful. But Fabianski is not the answer to our problems; we need to sign a real top-quality keeper this summer. I wouldn't mind seeing Begovic at the Grove next season.

Arsenal supporters just can´t get a break, can they?
We have finally stopped being terrible at football and gotten a few good result with no new injuries etc.

He´s not doing himself nor his son a favor, having a mental breakdown.
His son (loved by me) is at a great club making insane amount of money, but because of performance issue he is currently sitting on the bench. What part of this does he not understand?

Doesn't sound like a father really concerned for his son's career at Arsenal. Seems more like someone had offered him incentives to criticise Arsene Wenger.
Its what Szczesny said, about staying at Arsenal, is what I'll go by; he can sort his dad out, I'm sure.

The main reasons for Wenger choosing fab over szc is coz fab fretenend to leave if he don't get games…sooo how do u think Wenger will feel if he can't keep him its a bad enough look that he can't keep big stars let alone not a world known keeper

Remember up until half-way through last season the commentators used to call him 'Shezny' and since then, suddenly they have knighted him and call him 'Sir Chezney'?
What's that all about? Perhaps a Polish Gooner can tell us how the surname of our temporarily off-form goalie is meant to be pronounced?

getting your dad to say stuff for you is pretty pathetic (and let's not pretend this didn't come from szczesny himself). all players should feel angry and determined when they're dropped – but they also need to know how to channel that. the last dad / spokesman we had was bendtner's old man. it didn't end well for bendtner's career.
sad as i've always liked szczesny, but this is very disappointing.
1 1
This is a shame, especially as Szczesny seemed to act the bigger man after the Swansea game. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, Dads can be overly aggressive when their son is being attacked (although I don't think he has been attacked.)
1 0
Wow wow! This is sad! I mean I like the boy but I believe Woj and dad talk a lot and dad is airing the son's views!! I really feel after this Arsene should seriously consider getting an older keeper with experience! This business of promoting kids, and trusting them to carry us through out the season then you hear stupid parents Criticising your transfer policy!!
Mr Chesney SR we're suffering because the coach whose transfer policy you're Criticising trusted your little boy, gave him chance to carry a big global club even when everyone new and could see we need an experienced goal keeper!!
If this is what Wenger is paid in return for trusting these little boys he should even be more ruthless
I wanna see Fab stay in goal to the end of the season to teach this stupid man that you don't cut the hand that feeds you

Agree that S's dad isn't really being a good sport, but at the same time, at least from what I've seen, S's form really has dipped from last year's April and May. Word was he was nursing a back injury. He was the only reliable keeper we had, it seemed, so Wenger kept playing him.
At a team with more squad depth like Barca or ManU I think the manager would have rested him. Maybe I'm thinking the grass is greener, but its really seems like other big clubs protect and nurture their young talents in a better way.
I'm probably going to get red arrowed for this, not sure why though, except that everyone seems to have same opinion on here usually and this one isn't the same as what most people are taking from this.
Also, I'm definitely not saying that S should be making this his excuse. Fair play to him that he hasn't.

Even without the injury, he had one of the worst shots to goal ratio in premier league last season. After Almunia ages I can understand Arsenal fans bigging him up. Also, him being someone who came through the academy adds to the adulation. However it remains that he is a very young and inexperianced keeper and has a lot left to learn. This learning curve will obviously involve few such ocassions when he is benched. His dad being a forner professional should be the first one to know it. Fact that he does not or is not acknowledging the same tells more about the man than anything else.

Changing It Up…And To Be Honest...A Bit of a Rant as Well.
posted 4/19/2010 8:07:01 PM |
what's this?
report abuse
RJ53's recent blog about blog comments got me thinking about blog topics, individual blogger styles and the atmosphere surrounding the blogs in Pervia and how they are perceived by other people.
I've noticed a trend in Blog Land over the past few months that I find very interesting. What I've noticed is when bloggers such as WoW, Softie, Dione, B9CC1D, or DickSlippery (to name a few) write in-depth and detailed blogs…these are the types of blogs we have come to know and admire from these particular bloggers. However…when you take a blogger such as me, who loves to do brief, light-hearted and fluffy blogs that encourage participation and camaraderie…and then I decide to do a 180-degree turn and post a blog that is more serious and in-depth in nature…I find…at times…I might be a bit pigeon-holed with my blog-set.
It's not to say that I don't enjoy the fun and fluffy types of blogs…it's just sometimes I want to change it up a bit and wear a different hat on that particular day. If I get a fewer comments on these particular blogs…it doesn't upset me…I just find it interesting and go with my creative flow.
Now…this is where I have the problem. When other bloggers complain about the types of blogs another blogger writes…or complains about how they weren't picked in a game-like blog, or how they don't think it's fair when another blog gets a lot of comments…and their blog is only getting a few comments. I might also add that it appears a lot bloggers are now timid about participating in game-style blogs because they have found out it hurts certain other blogger's feelings…so now they don't participate at all. It's fine if those bloggers choose not to participate because they don't want to…but to keep from upsetting a few select people. I don't get this...I don't get it at all!
When did Pervia become a popularity contest? Are we all still in freakin' high school where we're all divided into cliques and expected to adhere to a certain childish standard? I've personally written a few very serious blogs that were near and dear to my heart…but I would never dream of taking my insecurities about the lack of comments out on Pervia. (And no DS…I'm not talking about your recent blog entitled "A Little Help") IMO…I find the above-mentioned behavior extremely childish.
Am I alone in this opinion? If I am…I would really like to know.
I will add that this day has not been an easy day for me. If you don't get it…please read my recent blog because I don't want to bring my last blog into this blog. However, I do feel I'm a very easy-going person who loves to laugh and interact with other people…but I'm not sitting back and complaining because my more serious blogs aren't getting the number of comments I see other blogs receiving on a particular day. I chalk it up to life...and move on.
I know there have been blogs written on the topic of "why we blog" and what we personally get out of blogging. So it would stand to reason that if you feel you're not popular enough and you feel this is a popularity contest…or you're not happy with the lack of comments your blogs are receiving…perhaps you should button your lip and leave.
I mean it…don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. Grow up and realize the blogs are not all about you. Sure you can choose to participate and contribute…but please be an adult about it…check your insecurities at the door…and CHOOSE to enjoy the process. Yes…you can choose to enjoy it…or be trivial and childish about it...and bitch and moan about it.
I realize this is not my usually type of blog…and it may not be popular with the masses…but I felt it needed to be said.
I needed to say it because it was bothering me.
It's that simple. If you have something to add…then feel free to do so. If not...please don't feel pressured into leaving a comment. I too have read blogs and not commented.
That is after-all your choice to make.
Is this a bit of a rant? You bet your sweet-ass this is a rant…so deal!

It always was.........people are attention whores.......they like to think they are number one in posting blogs.........me included LOL
or complains about how they weren't picked in a game-like blog,
Which is why I quit making up games and why I no longer post the week in review........always someone bitching or whining about something............
Hey I kinda like your ranting blogs you should do them more often.........no really........drama gets the comments and views LOL
I haven't gotten to the point I either read them or skip over them........sometimes I dont post comments on someones blog not because they didn't do a good job or that it wasnt interesting I just had nothing to say..........I know hard to believe but thats the truth LOL

I have seen this happen on here with certain people over the last 3 years.
It's not to say that I don't enjoy the fun and fluffy types of blogs
Yeah, most of my blogs are like this. I try to have fun and enjoy myself with the blogs.
Apr 19 @ 10:16PM
I knew it was a popularity contest from day 1. I am also on yahoo groups and it is the same over there. Big freakin deal all sites are like that. I have seen blogs that were well written on all these sties go by without anyone really taking notice of them though. That was what I was talking about. If it is a new person who wrote a great blog and no one notices I am just hoping it does not discourage them from blogging again. I did notice some of them did not come back. I am not just talking about this sites but all of them in general.
I think you do get pushed into a certain space in people's minds when you tend to blog a certain way. I have said things and could not believe people took it as being a serious statement. I know I joked about not being in a movie game blog one time and people actually thought I was serious. Maybe I should have put I am joking here after I wrote what I did, but thought everyone knew that anyway. No matter what you might have heard I do have a sense of humor.
I do just joke and am sarcastic at times but it is all in good fun. Can't believe I am trying to explain this. I think maybe sometimes when people sound like they have hurt feelings maybe people might read too much into it. I am sure that other people might just be joking as well. But in the same respect I have noticed it is always the same people picked for every one of these game blogs. I am not kidding go back and look. I do see a bit of humor in that. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut and bet on it because I would have won that bet the next time it came up.
Anyway that is what I have to say on the subject. And that are whatever else it takes will buy you a cup of coffee. I don't drink the stuff so I don't have a clue what you have to add to 2 cents to get one.
Apr 19 @ 11:47PM
Tell it how ya think or feel. Everyone should be able to tell it like it is in their mind. I have never complained about the style of blogs. I let it roll and I flow with it. I am just glad to have a place where most let me be who I am and I reciprocate.
Apr 20 @ 12:04AM
I'm sorry, but...who are these people you're speaking of who tend to get 'pissy' over such things?
Subtlety for the sake of politeness isnt helping much.
Apr 20 @ 1:07AM
I don't give a shit one way or the other.
Apr 20 @ 2:05AM
OK, I'm very late to the party... and I don't know precisely what occurred to generate this particular blog. However, it isn't surprising because I have some kind of telfon and kevlar coating adhering to my bubble which protects me from this stuff... meaning negative comments, competition, etc. I'm just sorry you've been subjected to such treatment.
I haven't blogged in sometime because I'm just too busy. However, when I have time I check in to see what's new. Like a bumble bee I buzz over to the blogs that interest me. There are a few regulars I read... if I have something to say I leave a comment. If I don't see anything interesting I move on. I don't blog for the stats as that's not what drives me to write, but I understand there are those that do and that's fine.
I enjoy your blogs... you can tell, I comment on almost every one of them when I'm around. Part of the reason I enjoy them is that they aren't ordinary and you break out of the box often enough to write subject matter with substance. So that's what is important to me... the rest I just don't give credence too.
Keep blogging and say whatever you want to say... and I think the same way for anyone else that blogs. We all benefit from a good rant now and again... so it's your turn and I'm just dandy with it. Keep on truckin', enjoy yourself and poop on anything else!
Apr 20 @ 2:28AM
I certainly understand all of your points. There is nothing I have to add as you and others said it all quite well. Besides, anything I say would be repeating myself.
I just suggest minimizing the emotional investment that is put into contributions. One must allow that anything they post will piss off a few, be misconstrued by several, and bore many. It is what it is, and it is what it ain't.

Apr 20 @ 1:02PM
I try to take the approach of writing a blog to please ME not to please anyone else. I quit being a people pleaser a long time ago. If no one reads or likes what I've writ.. oh well that's their prerogative. I don't care if they do or don't.
Yeah, seriously.. sometimes I'm goofy, sometimes I'm funny, sometimes I'm bitchy and sometimes I'm even serious.. its all about me in my blog.. not about anyone else.
Apr 20 @ 1:17PM
OMG! Kit can rant!!!
Ok..being serious now..and that is hard let me tell you.
Ok..When I blog...I usually blog about either what is on my mind at the time, or, I will share a funny email sent. Does it bother me if I get no replies? Well, yeah, I'm only human. But, it doesn't ruin my day. Not all blogs written are going to catch the interest of others. Just because a friend, or someone I have on my "favorites" list blogs, doesn't mean I'm always going to comment on a blog they write. If a blog title catches my attention, I'll read it. Doesn't mean I'm going to leave a comment. Doesn't mean I don't like the blog, just I don't have anything to add to it.
As for popularity contest....I'm not going to speak for the others, but, I've seen it said "attention whores" mentioned, and face it...we are. You put a blog out there, you want attention...otherwise, why bother blogging? Yes, some are more popular than others, can dictate to others whose blogs are better, etc. I can go back and view the first blogs I posted, and they didn't get comments...and if I were the type to let that bother me, hell, I would have never posted another blog. Like I said, I'll blog what's on my mind or a funny I want to share. If some don't like it..fine.

A blurred voice called out, "Soria, wake up. Can you hear me?"
Eight months have passed since Soria fell into her coma. Ember checked in on her regularly
or at least, she used to. Time had just faded away almost all hope that she had for her.
A lot had changed in Ember's life during those eight months. Ember and Flame became mates, after finally realizing that they were each other's one and only true love, and Ember gave up on her job search, seeing as Flame could easily support the two of them. It was the first of those that Ember was thinking about as she lied in her bed with Flame, who was still sleeping. She recalled it perfectly, the story of how, a month ago, Flame and her became mates; however, her mind also wandered to what else happened that day.
Ember was walking to the cabin where Soria was still being taken care of; Soliace was caring for her even after all this time, in her own home. And although she hasn't visited recently, Ember thought it was a good idea to see Soria again
hoping that with this visit, Soria would be doing better, instead of her pattern of constantly getting worse.
Within coming a decent distance from the cabins (while not quite being within view), Ember triggered a sensor set up around Soliace's house, which alerted her that someone had come. Since she was taking constant care of someone now, Soliace took no chances with safety
or so she explained.
She shared a telepathic thought with Blue and he put down the talisman he was holding. To her, he quietly said, "Why must she interfere? We are getting so close to awakening Soria; can't we just send the dragoness away when she gets here?"
Soliace shook her head in response and waved out the door, to the approaching Ember. "Can you not tell, Blue? These things take time, where is your patience? It is not as though we could finish this here today
we still have a little more we must do."
Blue sighed and sat down on the rough floor, where scattered scrolls, charms, and runes lay in jumbles. He had hoped that this would end soon.
Ember came into the cabin and immediately stood in shock as she saw how Soria looked. On her body was hand drawn runes and mixed in among the natural colors of her scales, the dark purple glowing stripes remained, now fiercely shining pillars of haunting light that enveloped her body. Ember looked away in disgust and fear. "How long has she been this bad?" Ember asked, as the smallest tear lay under her eye.
Soliace looked down upon the imprisoned body with a concerned look in her eyes, and she answered quietly, uncertain of what her answer would mean to Ember. "She changed this way within in the last week, and has stayed in this state since then. Her body is nearly completely consumed by this aura that haunts her. Those symbols on her that I wrote; they should keep her from being harmed for the time being
but I'm not sure if we can find hope for her by then. We are close Ember, I know there's a way to stop this from ruining her
but we just have to find out how. I have called in countless experts on curses and magicks, they have given me much information and help
now I just need to work as I can, and hopefully, I can free her."
Ember too looked down upon Soria, now even more worried; there was a hope, but also a grave danger for her
and things weren't leaning her way. It lead Ember to have a question though; one that she thought couldn't have been answered any earlier. "Do you know why she's in the state that she is? Why has she been in this coma, and why have these marks appeared on her; taking over her body?"
Soliace expected her to finally ask that question, and she knew exactly why
but telling her wouldn't be easy. "When you brought her in she looked as though she lay only unconscious, but you had actually killed her
she was already in a rage, it seemed, before she died, and a part of her hidden since her birth had emerged from within her and only through that evil could she be alive today." Ember shivered violently with the words that Soliace spoke to her, while her scales creeped and her blood ran cold. "However, with her life saved, she lost control of that evil inside her, and it has been battling with her soul to take control of her. As you can tell
Soria has been losing the fight. Should Soria awaken without being freed, she could destroy any lands she choose and she could take the place of where Red left off, covering the world in darkness."
Ember stood in shock, absorbing the weight of the words that Soria had spoke
and the realization of what she could have released into the world. It was here where Blue spoke for the first time in the conversation. "Did you have to tell it to her like that? She's obviously sad enough that her friend is in this state, so why explain all of this to her?" He put his hand on Ember's back to comfort her and then said, "She will be alright, I promise you that. We'll help her, and these lands will be safe. Don't worry now, before long, I'm sure you can see her awake once more."
Ember was astonished by the thought. Seeing Soria awake again had seemed unreal before
and that possibility alone comforted her, even as she thought she should still be concerned. She knew after Soria awoke from the coma she would probably still have harsh, and most likely worse feelings towards Ember
but it didn't matter, she still cared for Soria's safety. And then one more question came to her, as she turned to Soliace, "How did she get this inside of her anyways? You said she had it from her birth, how could that be, did someone curse her as she was still unborn?"
Soliace thought back a moment to her earlier and even her most recent observations, and then said, "I don't know all of it, and I don't believe that's my story to tell. So when Soria wakes up, and if she chooses to tell you, then you can hear it from her."
Ember questioned in her mind what Soliace said, and then came to the conclusion that she was probably right; it was Soria's secret alone.
With so much she learned that day, in that short time; Ember thought she'd have her mind racing with every detail trying to find some peace and answers. However, and oddly enough, she simply found it too much to ponder, and dropped the whole thing by the time she reached her house. She was too excited about being with Flame anyways. They were both young dragons and their love was flowing and relentless. In fact, she was so excited to see Flame that when she came in, she completely forgot to tell him about what occurred with Soria, and instead decided to sneak up behind him and give him a hug and kiss. He gladly welcomed it and her presence as he led her into the kitchen to grab a small box. She asked what it was, and he simply grinned and led her outside. Immediately after heading back behind his house she knew where they were going.
As expected, they traveled up the steep hill and reached the plateau, to sit on the same edge as they sat seven months prior. It was here where they had their first affectionate moments together since they were kin. Flame opened the box he held in his hands, and revealed a new heart necklace: one of pure gold and a polished pink gem. Flame slid the chain around Ember's neck and he took the old and worn-down necklace off of her.
After staring deeply at the new pendant and giving Flame a long hug, Ember looked down and saw the burned rocks and trees from their play-fight in the air below. Those memories were fond to her, and bred even deeper feelings inside of her: those not of lust, but pure and passionate love built up with all the caring she had for the red dragon beside her. So with affection controlling her every move and thought, as Flame shared the same passion; the two of them held a kiss, and on that field of grass that lay high above Spiritgrowth they accepted each other fully, sharing a love that only the other could match. It was here that they became mates and it was here that they could never be any closer.
And now it was a month later, Ember lying there on her bed, thinking of all the love that Flame and Ember had flowing through their veins. She felt butterflies in her stomach and snuggled even closer to her sleeping mate. She couldn't have asked for a better love.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
May 28, 2008 | 1 Comment
Post to the Host:
Our new Amish neighbors recently asked a question we couldn't answer. Why are there so many bachelors in Northern Minnesota? We speculated that perhaps shyness was the issue but for a definitive answer, I thought immediately of you! Please let us know how to explain this phenomena. (A couple years ago you entered the gate area on the F concourse at MSP and sat down across from me. Being Minnesotan, I did not disturb you.)
Susan K
McIntosh, MN
I've heard various theories, and shyness is one, and another says that some boys were so cosseted and adored by their mamas that no woman could ever look good to them. I've also heard (this is from a couple of bachelors) that bachelors are romantics and simply don't see anyone available who comes close to their romantic vision. Of course, singleness is a choice, and it isn't only men in northern Minnesota who go that route: I have a friend in Minneapolis who, at age 40, decided she is tired of trying to "weed out" men and finds the world of dating exhausting and unrewarding. My own theory is that courtship and seduction are social skills that involve taking big risks of rejection and humiliation and at a certain point in life, most people are loathe to step across that line. If no woman has fallen in love with you by the time you're thirty, maybe you figure you are not cut out for romance. And in a rural area, there are not so many opportunities. And if you don't attend church and you don't work in town, there are even fewer. And then bachelorhood can lead to misogyny, and then you have the Norwegian bachelor farmer denned up in his shack, living a life of pure freedom, and this man is impervious to romance of any sort.

Then there is always that hope that Mr. Darcy is out there! Signed, Elizabeth

Just read some of the other low ratings & reviews. I'm not gonna spend any more time on this game....
Rated 4 / 5 stars
XD I absolutely loved the creativity of the names. Also, the mockery of typical games like this was rather nice, and added an ironic, sarcastic assholery touch to the game.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
Nice pictures / media, but the questions are guessable and too hard. Who the hell is going to know how many episodes were in a single anime series? I probably genuinely only knew 2-3 of the answers off the top of my head. Short game, not alot going for it, but I can tell there was effort. I just wish these weren't just random questions. Also, when you die, you can just restart and do it again. Tedious and minor fun. More of a random questionaire then a dating sim. Hell, theres no dating. Its a hotel where you ( SPOILERS ) just walk around answering bunny girls questions for this girl up front to get keys for items give them to her, and she supposedly gives you minor 'special service'....what part of this makes it qualified as a simulation of you trying to date a bunny girl? ( sorry to preach, just saying my opinion )
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
there are two possibilities......having the wrong answers to half the questions was a trick to cross up the guys who use google.......some of us are just annoyed because we knew the right answers to most of the questions and had to look them up anyway to make sure because it is hard to believe the such obvious things were given the wrong answer.
for example many of us love and play cricket..... how could you get that one wrong!
overall another fine sluttly mcslut game I reckon the answer kerfuffle was another way to make it harder because they were correct in all the other games
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
The problem with this game is that even though you have some good hentai, the answers to these questions are so wrong... It's hard to get through the game if I keep running out of health because I selected the RIGHT answer, instead of the wrong one you say is right.

Promotional Awareness Items
In the past few years awareness has become a popular promotional theme and in many ways has become a cause in itself. Various awareness movements have thrown their weight behind worthy causes such as fighting breast cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, abuse, violence and poverty. In doing so, awareness movements have educated millions of Americans, and brought much attention to previously neglected issues. The education is not always formal, however, and at times a simple promotional bracelet or promotional lapel pin can spark interest and cause a ripple effect.
Here at Empire we understand the importance of calling attention to these worthy fights, and educating the public. Our promotional Awareness items include, but are not limited to: awareness ribbons, awareness sticky notes, awareness bracelets, awareness dog tags, awareness key tags, awareness lapel pins, awareness ribbon clip pens and awareness ribbon zipper pulls. All of our promotional products are high-quality and have superior construction, and will serve your company's advertising needs. Whether you want a yellow lapel pin to voice your support for the troops, or a promotional awareness key tag that spreads concern for the breast cancer fight, Empire supplies you with a suitable promotional product.
If you have any questions about our promotional Awareness Items, or need some ideas for your company's next promotion, please feel free to contact us at 1-877 4PROMOS /1-877 477-6667. Ordering from Empire is easy!

MESQUITE Race car driver Kevin Ward died of blunt force trauma after getting out of his vehicle at Motor Sports Park in upstate New York on Saturday. He was hit by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.
As police investigate that incident, a racetrack in Mesquite is tightening its rules.
Fans look forward to the high-speed, adrenaline-packed action at Devil's Bowl Speedway every Saturday night. Sprint car driver Martin Edwards says focus is key when he gets behind the wheel for competition especially when visibility is compromised inside the car.
'Knowing exactly where the crash is is something that you don't always know,' Edwards said.
Devil's Bowl Speedway is now re-evaluating rules and implementing changes. Workers said the changes are aimed at preventing another serious or even deadly accident from taking center stage.
'When a driver gets out of the race car, he don't have any safety at all,' said Lanny Ross Edwards, the director of competition at Devil's Bowl Speedway. He said the track's new rules prohibit drivers, pit crews and bystanders from walking onto the racing surface during competition.
The move follows Saturday's accident that killed driver Kevin Ward during a competition in New York.
Rule-breakers will face sanctions. 'We're going to start taking their championship points away from them,' Edwards said. 'They are going to be barred for a week, and removed from the premises immediately.'
Violators of the new racetrack rule also face stiff fines, according to the staff. Edwards said the change is all about safety.
Race car driver Martin Edwards said he's OK with the the new regulations.
'Maybe with a little stiffer penalty, it'll make everybody take a step back and think, 'Hold on a a minute... I need to stay here.'
Edwards believes the new rules will keep teams focused on competition rather than emotion.
Devil's Bowl Speedway says it will begin implementing the new rules during its competition series this Saturday.

Well, dear readers, it's been a while, hasn't it? I'm happy to report that I have not dropped off of the face of the Earth. On the contrary, I've been off on a new adventure and I can't wait to tell you about it! One week ago, I, aka The Lonesome Traveler, took off to attend the first ever BlogHer Food [1] conference in San Francisco, California. With my confidence bolstered by my recent solo trip to Seattle [2] (and because Mr. SGCC had too many work commitments), I decided to make the trip alone. So, last Thursday, I packed up my guts (and some cute outfits) in my suitcase and headed west.
I'd never been to San Francisco or anywhere else in California before, but had always longed to visit there. For weeks, I had been exchanging emails and tweets with my peeps – making plans to meet up for drinks, dinners, shopping, exploring and general carousing around. When the time finally came for me to go, I was so excited I could hardly stand it! Not even waking up before dawn followed by seven hours in an airplane, one frantic layover and a very swollen pair of feet could dampen my spirits.
My first impression of the city on my cab ride in from the airport was one of pure awe. San Francisco is HUGE! So huge in fact, that by the time I reached my hotel, my infinitesimal smallness in comparison became acutely apparent. In short, I was a little overwhelmed.
That first evening, I wandered around the immediate neighborhood to get the lay of the land while taking care not to venture too far out of my comfort zone. Fortunately, my hotel's restaurant, Ducca [3], served up some excellent Italian fare and I didn't even have to leave the premises. I only wish they had also served up some excellent service to go along with it! My server was as charming and solicitous as could be – that is, until I informed him that I would be dining alone. After that, it seemed like he couldn't get away from me fast enough. As I enjoyed my delicious (and quite pricey) meal, the most I saw of that guy was the back of his head as he schmoozed and fell all over the cute twenty-something couple sitting at the table next to me. Once or twice I got a quick "Everything okay? Good." as he raced by me, carrying yet another "special dish" for my dining neighbors to try. After trying to get his attention for almost fifteen minutes to order another glass of wine, I thought about sticking my foot out from under the table and tripping him – just to get him to stop! I didn't, though. My mama raised me right!
What I'd like to know is, why are women who eat alone in restaurants so often treated as pariahs? Isn't our money just as good as the next guy's? Why would a restaurant in a hotel that caters to business travelers treat anyone like that? Mr. SGCC says it's because women are thought of as notoriously bad tippers, and my server probably didn't want to waste his time on me. Well, I showed him. I tipped him 25%. I'd like to think I struck a blow for lonesome women travelers everywhere, but all I probably did was reinforce his bad behavior. Sigh….. BTW, the photo above is of Ducca's Arancini, which are deep fried, cornmeal-crusted risotto fritters filled with herbs and ooey, gooey sottocenere cheese [4]. To. Die. For!
The next morning, I woke up to steel gray skies and lots of spooky, swirling fingers of fog. As I looked out of my 19th story, floor-to-ceiling window, my heart sank a little. It looked scary out there! This was to be my big sightseeing day in San Francisco and all I wanted to do was crawl back under the covers. Sometimes, being on your own in the big city just isn't that much fun. So, I did what any lonesome traveler would do. I logged onto Twitter to see if anyone I knew was close by.
As luck would have it, Laura from Hey What's for Dinner, Mom [5] took pity on me. She was having coffee just down the street and tweeted that if I met her there, she would get me over to Chinatown. It was an offer I couldn't refuse! I hustled my buns over to Market and 4th as fast as I could. When I arrived, Laura was there waiting with a big smile and a good map.
We rode a cable car up to Chinatown for some fun, food and shopping. Did I mention that we sailed up and down those hilly streets standing on the outside of the cable car and hanging on for dear life? We did, and it was a blast! I would have taken a picture of us for all you nonbelievers out there, but I didn't dare let go of the rail for fear of falling off and becoming another unfortunate cable car accident statistic. You'll just have to trust me on this one. (By the way, don't ever piss off one of those cable car operators by asking a lot of stupid questions. They are a tough bunch and don't suffer fools well! Don't ask me how I know this.)
Laura and I spent the rest of the afternoon eating, exploring and soaking up local color. We also bought a lot of stuff, especially cute little plates, bowls and chopsticks for shooting food photos for our blogs. Of course, neither of us has an Asian food blog, but…whatever! I'm sure we'll use them anyway.
Here's me taking a little bubble tea break. Yes, I know I look a little ragged around the edges. That's what happens when you shop 'til you drop. So, sue me!
All that shopping can really make a girl hungry, so we treated ourselves to a fabulous dim sum lunch. Don't ask me the name of the restaurant, because I don't remember it. But, I do remember that we tried about a gazillion different dishes and we loved each one!
This is Laura getting ready to try some kind of dumpling filled with lots of sweet, spring onions. Amazing!
It was a good thing we decided to pass on dessert, because a little later on, we came upon this place on the left.
This is the Golden Gate Bakery. I had never heard of it before, but the line out the door speaks for itself. A couple of very nice Chinese ladies explained to us that the Golden Gate Bakery is famous for it's "dan tats" or egg custard tarts. Custard tarts? That was it for me. I was not budging from Chinatown without some of those tarts! I talked poor Laura into waiting over an hour on that outrageously long line, getting pushed, shoved and barked at by a bunch of Chinese grandmas also looking to score some tarts. Was it worth it? Yes! When our turn finally came, trays of piping hot, flaky and impossibly creamy egg custard tarts had just come out of the oven and into our greedy little hands. Words cannot describe how good they were. Sublime! And look at the pretty bakery box they came in. I loved it so much that I saved it!
All good things must come to an end, as did my wonderful afternoon in Chinatown. Laura and I dragged our tired, aching bodies onto another cable car and back to our respective hotels. I can't thank Laura enough for being my companion for the day. We had so much fun! Even though we had never met before, we felt like we had known each other for years. She lives in Alaska and I live in Florida. That's about as far apart as you can get! But, I sincerely hope that we have the chance to meet again soon. In the meantime, there's always Twitter!
When I got back to my hotel, I couldn't believe that I had to turn around and head right back out to meet some of my favorite bloggers for drinks and dinner. I spritzed, misted and pinched my cheeks, frantically applying fresh lip gloss as I ran out the door. This was an evening I had waited a long time for! I was finally going to meet the lovely Helen (Tartelette [6]), the super cool Todd and Diane (White on Rice Couple [7]) and my dear, sweet Jen (Use Real Butter [8])! As an added bonus, we were also joined by Alice (Savory Sweet Life [9]), Lisa (Lisa is Bossy [10]), Ashley (Not Without Salt [11]), Chuck (Sunday Nite Dinner [12]/Food Gawker [13]), Anita (Dessert First [14]), Michelle (Thursday Night Smackdown [15]) and Karen (Off the Meat Hook [16]).
Some of us met up for Happy Hour on the 39th floor of the Marriott. Then we headed over to meet the rest of our party for dinner at Anchor and Hope [17]. Of course, it was dark by then, so the only pictures I got with my travel P&S camera were a bunch of craptastic shots of the food. Jen, on the other hand, got lots of terrific shots of both the food and the people. If you'd like to see how much fun we had, check out her post here [18].
It was so great (and a bit humbling) to be sitting at the same table with so many talented and creative people. Everyone was talking a mile a minute, including myself. It's not easy trying to catch up on that many lives in one night! When the plates of food started coming out, everyone's forks were launching like rockets into them!
Eventually, the time came for us to say goodnight. We all had a busy day ahead of us. BlogHer Food was scheduled to begin early the next morning and we needed to be rested and ready.
As I drifted off to sleep that night, I reflected on my perfect first day in San Francisco. I thought about the places I'd been and the wonderful people I'd met. I may have begun my adventure as a lonesome traveler, but at the moment my eyes began to close, I knew that I was anything but lonely.
I still have lots more to tell you. Stay tuned for Part 2, where I fill you in on the conference happenings, share about more new friends that I made and tell you all about my chance encounter with big celebrity!

Corsair K70 RGB review
Mini ReviewThe Corsair K70 RGB: the same crisp, responsive typing and gaming performance of the original, now with a custom color palette.
Mini ReviewThe Corsair K70 RGB: the same crisp, responsive typing and gaming performance of the original, now with a custom color palette.
MINI REVIEWCorsair's entry-level mechanical board might lose some functionality by dropping the numpad, but it gains more than just novelty value in the process.
MINI REVIEWSlotting in just below the M60 in Corsair's gaming mouse range, the Raptor M40 is the result of a merger between the California-based peripherals giant and German manufacturer Raptor.
Corsair's range of peripherals just gets bigger and bigger, and it's now adding a new raft of updates to its Vengeance line of gaming goodies.
Of all the gaming peripherals, keyboards have to work hardest to convince you that all those backlit keys and brushed steel signify a tangible and worthwhile step up from the basic beige model.
An impressive wireless gaming headset, though lacks the finer touches of an all-round winner
Even the grouchiest CS:S gamer will be happy with the M60's performance. The jury's still out on whether DPI really makes a huge difference, but the M60's adjustable polling rate, high tracking speed and low-friction PTFE pads make for a noticeably smooth experience.
To some, a keyboard is just a place to collect all your biscuit crumbs and errant Golden Virginia while you look at the latest funny cat video, but for the serious gamer it's a vital piece of kit. These people are prepared to spend a bit extra cash for a keyboard that's comfortable, responsive and maybe even boasts a few extra controls – and Corsair wants in on that action.
Our ears heard no distortion even at frankly dangerous volume levels; it appears no dubstep bassline or BF3 tank fight is too much for the Vengeance 1300. Background noise is deftly cut out as soon as you don the cans too, which is great for maxing out immersion levels or gaming near a construction site.

Like any good escape artist, the band's refusal to surrender to presumed restrictions seems to be the key to their success. "Whenever I hear music that gets me excited, I just want to play that music, you know?" says guitarist/vocalist Jon Sunde. "And so the idea of having no kind of boundary or no formula to what could happen is just really appealing to me." Sunde and his older brother Jason were exposed to endless options as music students at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where they both earned vocal degrees. "I think we were both influenced pretty strongly by these things that were sort of harmonically dense and more ambitious," he says. "You get chained sometimes into these self-imposed rules, but it's really freeing when you can access these other directions."For The Daredevil Christopher Wright, access has been key. The connections the Sunde brothers and drummer Jesse Edgington forged in school, plus the support of the broader Eau Claire music community, were integral to In Deference's creation. A large cast of musicians became an extension of the compositional range with which the band experimented. "There's a really strong music program here, so there's a huge group of folks who are just really talented at kind of any instrument you want," says Sunde. "We really wanted to try to access that, so all these amazing people agreed to help us and play on the record." The album features upwards of 25 credited guest performers, and through their label head Kyle Frenette, they landed fellow Wisconsin resident Justin Vernon of Bon Iver to mix nine of the album's 11 tracks.The band will soon start recording a follow-up, which they hope will push them even further from typical three-piece instrumentation. Like their mythical, larger-than-life namesake, The Daredevil Christopher Wright seems poised for the next leap—which, in their style, is likely to be a big one. "Our idea, really," Sunde says, "was to do everything we'd dreamed about." Stream all of In Deference To A Broken Back at the band's MySpace page.

There is no such list. IP addresses are not allocated necessarily by country, but by ISP (and may be used internationally) - even so the /8 netblocks are continental.
There are some that maintain lists for each numbers authority, however, and it may be helpful to you. A list is available here: http://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/
Can't be done -- /8 netblocks are allocated by IANA at the level of continents, not countries. 220.127.116.11/8 is allocated to RIPE, so it covers Europe. There's a list here.
IANA holds a list of IP blocks and which registry they are allocated to:
From there you can check each registry for a list of IP blocks within their ranges and which countries (and sometimes even ISPs) they are delegated to.
For example, the APNIC registry (Asia & Pacific) has this list:
It may take a little googling to find the list for each registry.

Pre-development Consultation
This program provides early technical assistance to various entities who have applied for federal funds or will have to obtain a federal license or permit. The purpose of the early coordination is to assist the applicant in determining if wetlands or federally endangered or threatened species could be impacted by the proposed activity. The intent is to provide early notification of potential issues before an applicant has committed significant resources toward specific plans or designs. The Kentucky Field Office typically receives over 2,000 pre-development consultation requests each year. The vast majority of requests involve corridor development, such as pipelines and highways. Many of the pipeline activities require stream crossings which potentially could impact aquatic resources including federally listed species. However, most negative impacts can be significantly reduced by directionally boring under the stream or mounting the pipeline from an existing bridge. Most other aquatic impacts can be minimized by utilizing best management practices relative to erosion control and re-vegetation of construction areas. Highway projects reviewed are principally associated with bridge replacement or construction. Generally, recommendations address pier placement in an effort to avoid the alteration of stream flows or the direct loss of valuable habitat.
For your convenience, the document below is an outline for "How to Submit a Project for Pre-Development Consultation". Please review this document as it provides detailed instructions to ensure that your request contains all of the information that is required for us to adequately review your project. Information or questions concerning pre-development consultations in Kentucky may be obtained from Mr. Jim Gruhala (email@example.com)

May 4, 2016
The Morehead City area is about to get a lot busier because of Katrina's hit on the port of New Orleans. North Carolina's port is number two in the nation, behind New Orleans, in bringing in a key material to keep the wheels of commerce rolling across America. That material is rubber. And now with the port in New Orleans out of commission, the one here is getting a lot busier to help keep the tire manufacturers plants running. The first full shipload of rubber will be offloaded next week at Morehead City, more than 1,000 truckloads of rubber that will be shipped to tire plants across the country from Eastern Carolina.

Thank you for saying this. I too struggle constantly with how to deal with the fact of my own privilege...it can be very hard as a white teacher with students of color to have a clue how to approach some of these complex issues. I'm not teaching US history currently, but I am teaching AP US government, and boy, does it come up a lot. I am blessed to have some incredibly brave students who often speak out and address their peers misconceptions and privilege before I can even formulate a good response. When that happens I try to remember to show my support but otherwise let them handle it--nothing worse than trying to jump in on their experience.Penelopehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199417384928500542.post-68256564460023009012013-01-24T13:45:05.179-07:002013-01-24T13:45:05.179-07:00Yep.

We don't want people to see our characters for who they are because: A) there's not enough time for in-depth exploration in the curriculum; B) showing how flawed our historical heroes are doesn't forward "American Exceptionalism;" and C) it, quite frankly, makes people uncomfortable to think of those "heroes" as anything less than what they see when they see their figurine.Tom Panaresehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199417384928500542.post-58365636751225191672013-01-21T10:58:50.984-07:002013-01-21T10:58:50.984-07:00Thank you for your honest reflection about the con...Thank you for your honest reflection about the conversation with your son. We have made him into a cartoon character and educators like you who keep the real man in the proper context. It's difficult to face our history, but it's so important to remind students where we've been so there is greater appreciation for today and tomorrow.

Be Great,

Musician Kid Rock recently listed his Malibu home, referred to as a "Balinese Oasis," for over $13 million. The home was purchased in 2006 for $11.6 million.
The property includes an 8,305- square-foot main house with an impressive dining room and chef's kitchen, as well as a home gym and a weird recording room with lots of couches.
The outside of the home is extremely well manicured, and includes a guesthouse, a pool and a "vine-draped nook," because why go to Bali when you can go to Malibu instead?

The other day I got a Facebook friend request. The name wasn't familiar, so I checked the person's profile picture to see if that would jog my memory. But instead of a picture of a person, there was a picture of an ultrasound. I don't think I went to high school with any ultrasounds, so I should probably deny the request, right?
Plenty of my friends have kids. I like kids, as long as they're not snotting on me or anything. But I don't want to be friends with a fetus on Facebook. For that matter, I also don't want to be friends with a couple making out with each other. I'm happy to be friends with two people who happen to be in a relationship with each other, but I really like individuals who each get their own picture. Posting a picture of your unborn kid and having it represent you on the internet is sort of like saying "Hi! I'm solely defined by my ability to procreate! What's your name?"
Sorry! This poll is now closed.

Tallahassee, FL - Americans throughout the country celebrate our nation's independence with back yard bbq's and fireworks, but that's not the only celebration happening today.
People are also celebrating what it means to be an American.
"It means more than just freedom, it means piece of mind and love of neighbor," said Mary Johnson, Tallahassee Resident.
Johnson started celebrating the fourth of July by attending a church service at Lake Ella. Johnson said Independence Day is important to her and she wouldn't want to live in any other country.
"We need to not exploit the wonderful things that we've been given here. I've always felt we were born in the Garden of Eden and God has given us so many beautiful things that we need to take care of," said Johnson.
The freedoms we're able to enjoy in this country are thanks in large part to our nation's military. Brandon Moss, who is an active service member in the US Air Force was with his family at the Korean Memorial on Friday morning. Ross is able to be in Tallahassee this year and said spending the fourth with his family is one of the best gifts he's ever received.
"This time last year I was in Afghanistan, I couldn't celebrate with my family, but it means everything. I have my wife, my dog, my niece, my brother, my mom, my sister-in-law, it just means the world to me," said Ross.
