<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I was driving home from work one day, I stopped to watch a local little League baseball game that was being played in a park near my home.</p>
<p>As I sat down behind the bench on the first-baseline, I asked one of the boys what the score was.</p>
<p>"We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile. "Really," I said. "I have to say you don't look very discouraged."</p>
<p>"Discouraged," the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face, "why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet."<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color:#ff0000;">***SKIP the Bull**** Paragraph to get to the main point</span></h2>
<p>  <span style="color:#000080;">This is like THE most important post (at least to me) that I'll I've posted so far. OK I'm a huge converse fan, particularly Chuck Taylors. I'm also a huge blue fan, it's my favorite color right next to black. I own a pair of all black chucks and a pair of originals BUT I have yet to buy a pair of blue chucks. Around June or July 2008(don't know the exact date) Converse released a new Chuck Taylor. Unfortunately I don't know the name so you'll have to go off the description. <span style="color:#ffff00;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">They are blue and have a pocket on the outside of each shoe, and in each pocket there's a little blue flag</span></span> </strong></span>(OMG!) I almost dies when I saw this shoe. Well of course I was broke at the time and could purchase but I kept saying (I'm gonna get them) So here it is August 29th and I had made plans to head of to journey's next week and get them. I went in the store today you know just to check them out, and they were no where to be found. I thought back to the black and white plaid (also not released too long ago) and thought "I guess there sold out like the others" So I thought "alright guess I'll just have to buy them offline, no bi deal just takes a little longer". Went up to one of the workers and ask "What happened to the blue chucks w/ the flag?" I got the worst news like EVER (in regards to shoes) the words slipped out like venom "OH they were recalled"....RECALLED!!!!! and do you know WHY they were recalled?!?!?! GANG VIOLENCE WTF<span style="color:#6f1f6e;"><strong> (CHILDREN PLEASE STOP RUNNING AROUND WITH FLAGS AND GUNS AND RUINING MY DREAM OF OWNING THE BEST PAIR OF CHUCKIES I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO SEE IN MY LIFE!)</strong> </span>Why is the world against me???</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway the real point of this is to say ANYONE WHO EITHER:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><span style="color:#000080;">Know's the name of the shoe</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><span style="color:#000080;">Know's of somewhere I can find the shoe</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><span style="color:#000080;">Has a picture of the shoe</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><span style="color:#000080;">Is willing to give up a pair of the shoes (for a price of course)</span></h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4><span style="color:#000080;">Or just ANYTHING related to the shoe PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact me </span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm going to OVERLOAD this post with keywords because I HAVE to OWN those shoes (not really but it's make my year :) ) So yeah come on ppl do your community service and get those shoes to me</p>

<p><strong>Guitar Hero</strong> têm sido uma das coisas que mais esbarro na internet, e não só isso, este game esta em todo lugar que se vai, pode procurar, num shopping perto de você.</p>
<p>Eu joguei com o <a href="http://colunistapirata.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Odir</strong></a> em sua casa no Wii, não consegui tirar muitas notas, não sei se por não conhecer nada de guitarra, ou por falta de coordenação motora mesmo.</p>
<p>Pra quem pega a manha o jogo é extremamente vicioso, acredito que quem toque algum instrumento de "corda" tenha maior facilidade e identifique-se com ele.</p>
<p>Para os "adoradores" desse game agora esta disponível uma nova versão chamada <a href="http://store.digitalpraise.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&#38;ProdID=135" target="_blank"><strong>Guitar Praise</strong></a> , embora esta versão esteja disponível apenas para computadores.</p>
<p>Esta a venda por US$ 99,95 dólares e vem com mais de 50 músicas, na relação de artistas tem gente boa como o <a href="http://www.dctalk.com/" target="_blank"><strong>DC Talk</strong></a> que <a href="http://terceirodia.wordpress.com/2007/03/28/dc-talk-eu-recomendo/" target="_blank">já falei aqui</a>, <a href="http://www.relientk.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Relient K</strong></a> e <a href="http://www.pillarmusic.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Pillar</strong></a>, mas é uma pecado deixar de fora o <a href="http://www.thirdday.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Third Day</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Ganhou até nota na <a href="http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/informatica/ult124u438887.shtml" target="_blank">Folha Online</a>, lovai ao Senhor!</p>

If you liked the first one, you will probably like this one too, because it has all the fashion fun of the first one, but with better graphics, and the addition of men's clothing.  The plot is new, but the fashion addiction is right on target.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>En Starship Eleven, el usuario debe controlar una nave en el espacio y llegar hasta el final de cada fase sin explotar.</strong></p>
<p>Es el tipo de juego que exige del "gamer" habilidad en los controles y rinde desafíos a los que gustan pasar horas intentando vencer obstáculos de los escenarios.</p>
<p>Para jugar Starship Eleven es necesario usar las flechas del teclado para controlar la nave por la pantalla y presionar la barra espaciadora para disparar el misil. Existen dos tipos de nave, que son presentadas antes del inicio de la partida. La primera, más fácil de controlar, hace movimientos y dispara apenas en tres direcciones; la segunda, más compleja, hace vuelos más rápidos, en 360 grados, y tiene capacidad para tirar para todos los lados.<!--more--></p>
<p>Disparar es necesario para destruir las barreras que bloquean el camino o para entrar en lugares que guardan ítems especiales y necesarios -como por ejemplo la munición, combustible y energía-. Evite chocar en las rocas y con los obstáculos para no explotar su nave y preste atención en las flechas que apuntan para la salida: prosiga para entrar en la próxima pantalla.</p>
<p>Además de pilotar su nave con cuidado, aproveche todos los savepoints (que son torres con la luz encendida) para ganar puntos y tempo. Basta recostarse en ellos para beneficiarse.</p>
<p>Prepare sus reflejos, controle la nave con habilidad y llegue hasta el final de cada fase con muchos puntos, munición y tiempo de sobra.</p>

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="274" caption="Elizabeth Williams Bushey is officially addicted to Mobsters"]<img src="http://www.elizabethbushey.com/wp/mob/1.jpg" alt="Elizabeth Williams Bushey is officially addicted to Mobsters" width="274" height="202" />[/caption]
<p>I am now officially addicted to <strong>Mobsters</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At least that's what it's said on my "status" indicator now for weeks on my "<strong>myspace</strong>" page. "Elizabeth is... "officially addicted to Mobsters." Mood: "intense."</p>
<p><strong>This is NOT my fault.</strong> It is totally and completely the fault of Peter's son, who sent me an invite to join the game. Ordinarily I avoid computer and video games like the plague, having once thrown my back out and been couch-ridden for two months. I became so obsessed with SuperMario Brothers that upon my recovery, I nearly had to join a 12-Step Program.</p>
<p>I tossed the Nintendo® and never looked back. I won't even let my daughters have a PlayStation, or a Wii, or anything that connects to the television.</p>
<p>(They watch too much as it is; TV's another problem of mine to avoid. I don't watch TV - not out of snobbery, mind you: more like the 12-Step thing.</p>
<p>ANYTHING - no matter how stupid, like "America's Top Model" - will suck me in and mesmerize me, so better that I never turn the darn thing on in the first place.)</p>
<p>My kids are lucky to own Nintendo® DS thingies, upon which they play games where they train pretend robot puppies, or inhabit virtual cities with avatars of themselves with blue or pink hair.</p>
<p>One game they play cracks me up - they HAVE to own a house, and they HAVE to pay a mortgage on it, so they HAVE to have a job. THERE'S a game worth playing, I think.</p>
<p>But Mobsters? I dunno.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>My accomplishments on Mobsters are dubious. I received one badge for achieving Level 3 in one day. I shuddered; how much time was I spending on this addictive game, anyway?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another badge I received was for growing my mob size to at least five members (we're now 18 and growing.) Wasting my powers of charm and persuasion on a myspace game? When I'm collecting quarters for a loaf of bread for sandwiches?</p>
<p>Is this stupid?</p>
<p>Definitely.</p>
<p>Am I still playing it everyday?</p>
<p>Definitely.</p>

<p>In real life, I am mostly broke, being an artist who is a lot more concerned about the art than the business.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On Mobsters, I am rich. I own several vehicles, including three armored cars and some Bentleys. In real life, I have a minivan.</p>
<p>In my Mobster arena, I own all the weapons - in multiples - that it is possible to own.</p>
<p>In real life, I abhor the very thought of guns (although Dad, before he died, DID teach me how to shoot straight, and I</p>

<p>just learned that both my wacky sisters - and my far wackier Mom - are getting hardcore into weaponry; one sister is now collecting shotguns. Shudder.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In general, I am a peaceful person. Wait, I take that back, in case Peter should read this. Okay, well maybe not totally peaceful - but when I DO get angry, I get over it very quickly, and in general, I always look for the gentle solution to any problem. Not only that, but I have very little tolerance for injustice, and both Peter and I tend to uphold the</p>

<p>rights of the underdog.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On Mobsters, I not only LOOK for fights, but I absolutely pick on those littler than I am. I seek them OUT.</p>
<p>Even my very Mobsters name is unlike me. I prefer to be called "Elizabeth" - when folks attempt to shorten it to "Liz," (which makes my face want to scrunch up as if I've eaten vinegar-soaked lemons), I politely let them know my wishes: "It's a few more syllables, but I'm worth it."</p>
<p>In Mobster-land, I'm "<strong>lizrox</strong>."</p>
<p>It all sort of reminds me of this one leather jacket I have. It's my favorite, actually. For some reason, whenever I wear it, I feel just like Kate Beckinsale in the movie "Underworld" - you know, the one where she's this really sexy, really tough superhero vampire?</p>
<p>I'm not a vampire. Or a superhero. But the jacket - especially when I zip it all the way up to the neck - makes me feel really sexy, and really tough - and although I'd never try to leap off a tall building or anything, or jump into a moving convertible, it kind of makes me feel as though I could.</p>
<p>Mostly, I just like to wear it on cool evenings when I'm out walking my big black dog, Tucker. Cool black leather jacket, cool black dog, cool chick.</p>
<p>Cool Mobster.</p>
<p>Guess you're never too old for a little play pretend. And it's not TOO much of a waste of time. After all, you run out of "stamina" and "energy" and "health" - and I, personally, tend to run out of money after just a few minutes of play at a time, and have to quit.</p>
<p>So since I'm not ACTUALLY whacking anyone really...</p>
<p>If you want to join my mob, add me as a friend.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever heard of the game Energyville?  It's an <strong>online game where you name a town, and then, Sims' style, decide how you're going to power it using the available technologies</strong>.  Each has their own pros and cons, and costs different amounts of money, environmental damage and national security.  Then the game takes you through the years, showing you how the choices you make affect the city.  On the surface, it sounds like a good concept.  But play it once or twice, and <strong>you might start to wonder just why it is that biofuels always "get more expensive due to lack of corn supplies" in every scenario presented</strong>, though petroleum, natural gas, and shale oil seem to get better with age.  Or how even if you have your town fully powered with alternative energy, the game won't let you advance to the next level without adding some petrol to the mix.  I played the game several times, and <strong>Beautopia never lived up to its name, no matter how valiantly I erected wind towers and solar panel racks</strong>.  Well, it did LOOK pretty, but my score couldn't compete with the oil guzzlers and nuclear supporters out there.</p>
<p><a href="http://solarious.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/energyville.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-299" src="http://solarious.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/energyville.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="465" /></a></p>
<p>Still, even with a marked slant evident in the policital events presented, the game is an <strong>interesting look at how we do need to think about the future when making energy choices of today</strong>.  If someone would come back with a more REAL version of this game, instead of <strong>Chevron</strong>, which is the presenter of Energyville, there could be a lot to learn from it.  If you want to check out the game, it's at:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.willyoujoinus.com/energyville" target="_blank">www.willyoujoinus.com/energyville</a></p>
<p>In a greater sense, this game underlines what seems true in most of life.  Most things seem okay on the surface, pretty kind and helpful even, but a little digging (not much in this case) reveals that "free" offers contain strings, "impartial" observers are paid for their opinions, and <strong>even organizations set up to help others usually have their own agendas that can affect their actual aid</strong>.  Green living is a noble goal, and of course I encourage you to follow the natural path.  Just be aware of the greenwash, as they call it, because for every understanding and caring soul who enters the green "industry", there also enters a conglomerate like Safeway or KMart, hoping to make a buck.  <strong>Learning to take only what you need from these giants is a lifelong game in and of itself.</strong></p>
