						Following Raiders practice on Friday, quarterback Derek Carr joined Greg Papa and Bonta Hill on 95.7 The Game for an exclusive interview live from the silver and black's training camp in Napa.
No. 4 discussed an array of topics — including Papa's assertion that he has the potential to go down as one of the greatest QB's in franchise history.
“Man, it's very humbling to understand what they did (and) understand the legacy that was left before me,” Carr said. “I'm very much into legacies. I'm very much into tradition and I think I was like that in college (at Fresno St.).
The Fresno St. football program will retire Carr's jersey during a halftime ceremony at the Bulldogs' Sept. 2 game.
“It's the same mindset I had in college,” Carr said. “As long as I come in and work every day, it worked in college and I'm just going to continue to grind my tail off here in the NFL.
Carr also explained why he always rolls up his sleeves, saying it's not because he's been working out.
1965.........I was five years old living with my parents and two brothers & a sister who had a different father.
My mothers mother & grandmother came for a visit from Iowa where my parents were from and where I was born. They slept in the room I shared with my sister. She is 12 years older than me and I adored her to the point of annoying her, I'm sure. * smiles*
We made the move from Iowa to Las Vegas because my dad was offered a position with Hamm's Beer. Remember Hamm's?
I was small enough that my mom made a bed in the tub of their master bathroom. I remember how comfortable it was. Ahhh to be that little and innocent again. Little did I know as I snuggled in the tub and dreamed of days ahead with my grandmother & great grandmother............that a long road of confusion, and loss of innocence that eventually turned to sense of betrayal so many years later when I learned all little girls did not do " that " with their dads.
I woke up feeling strange. Why was daddy touching me........there? Why were we naked? Why was the bed shaking like it was?
Oh! my daddy said we now have a secret that all little girls & daddies have!
I remember mostly not so much the acts of incest but the times / instances and the smell of him.
Smells of the boy next door too. He used to take me to a big dog house??? in the back of his house and touched me too. Very soon after we moved back to Iowa. To the same town my grand parents & great grand parents lived.
They are my fondest of childhood memories. Even though at that time I didn't realize my daddies secret with me was what it was, I knew deep down it wasn't right. My great grandmother & grandparents were my safe places.

Thank you Skye! I'm hoping to make it into book quality.
thank you for sharing my sweet sister of my soul. You words make me want to hug you even more
As always I am in awe of your writing and your ability to put your reader " in the moment".... xxoo
Thank you Amala. ; ) I've got a long way to go and a lot to learn before I'm book worthy writing.
This sets the scene perfectly and even with hints of what is to come, the reader is there, in the moment with the little girl. A perfect beginning to your story.
Thank you my friend! It's going to be a slow process. ; )
Write at the pace and time that you set aside for yourself to do so. There's no need to hurry here as long as you keep us all posted. You'll learn booksie.com like a pro before you know it with a lot of help from your booksie.com fans and friends.
And so far so good!
Thank you! That is what I am figuring out. I've skipped ahead and was thinking I should not have done so, but I have always had a habit of writing where my mind takes me.
When we experience life like you have, we learn to look at people a little deeper sometimes. As need be for self preservation sometimes, but it is also a mark of a good writer, because it helps with character development. It's just a matter of clearly putting those thoughts on paper.
When you skipped ahead a bit, to me it appeared that more than anything a part of you may not have wanted to focus on those details. Maybe that is why your mind takes you in that direction, like you wrote in the comment.
Again, I think you are a fascinating and amazing woman and I'm glad to call you a friend.
There are so many instances........you are probably right. That's why I skipped past it.
Thank you for your in put. I have been told I need more emotion in my writing and is also probably why I am able to write about it........still practicing!
You are awesome too!
This is such a brave thing to do; even though you didn't go into much description, it is obviously a hard thing to talk about; just write what you are comfortable about writing. I'm not going to look to deeply into it as it's personal, but it's a gripping start.
I didn't want to and don't go into detail or be too descriptive as it's not so easy. Also, I don't want any pedophiles to have fantasy off my writings.
All alI write of is true experiences with out great detail. Thank you for reading. And commenting.Scope and Contents Childs Frick's original handwritten field diaries.

The closer these two aspects work together, the better your game's localisation will be, ultimately improving its chances to perform well abroad.
Localisation remains an underestimated field, with some developers seeing it as a simple work of translation thrown in at the end of the development cycle.
But it's worth noting that "translation" is never a "simple work" to start with. Even a small text can require hours of effort, as the tone and atmosphere need to be properly conveyed in addition to the actual words. That
