Ever wished you can play your favorite sport of tennis with your favorite classic video game character? Well, here's your chance. Mario Power Tennis is a cool game on Wii for a great source of fun and exercise!
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
Since Wii has been making a huge success over the gaming world, Nintendo had decided to blend some of their masterpieces with them. With that collaboration, they came up with another masterpiece – Mario Power Tennis. This game features a very nice Play control design and visuals that are very much in detail – from the Mushroom Kingdoms' characters to the tennis play.
The addition of motion control to the classic game of Mario was pretty much ingenious and rare. With this game, people will still have fun – young or old because of its comic visuals and the exercise brought about by the Wii Controller. This game requires precision, timing and a bit of force just like the real game, so every time you win a match, you would feel like you can make it through the big leagues.
As mentioned earlier, due to the advancements to this game brought about by the Wii controller, you can easily maneuver your shots or services. The system quickly responds to all your commands and actions during gameplay. It's got a much enhanced visual effect that makes the tennis environment very vibrant and clear. Also, a ball trail can also be viewed every time you toss a ball for a serve – this gives you the opportunity to view the way you serve the ball and make necessary adjustments for a perfect serve.
Ever since Nintendo joined forces with Camelot Software Planning, Mario Tennis has been earning great reviews over the gaming world. Its pretty much an excellent multiplayer game. In fact, it is branded as one of the best tennis videogames at present. The game still remains addictive, fun-filled and it also a good number of game modes to ensure that boredom will not come in mind when playing the game. Overall it entertained me enough.

Organizers of this year's South Lake Tahoe Food and Wine Festival have deemed Saturday's event a success.
Attendance at this year's expo saw more than 1,000 guests, an increase from the 2011 event, said John Packer, Harrah's/Harveys Lake Tahoe director of entertainment and public relations. Guests came from as close as the Bay Area, Sacramento and Reno and as far as Oregon.
"It was fun and festive and we had acrobats and dancers," Packer said. "We had some of the best players here because of the event, and we hope to have that proceeding on to next year."
Harrah's will donate $2,000 of its proceeds to the Carson Valley Food Closet and $500 to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, the charity Tahoe Douglas Zephyr Fuels Crew members chose to compete for during an eating competition.
Packer said the event can be difficult to plan because of other food festivals held around the same time, as well as chefs who have already committed to other events, but next year they plan to monitor the calendar more closely.
"This year was a success," he said. "We hope to get it out there a little further next year."
Packer said plans for next year include bringing in more wineries and chefs.

The death toll in Pakistan keeps climbing to unfathomable numbers. Even though the devastation may seem too far away for many of us to feel the effects, one local doctor is. News 12 is on your side to find out how those in our community were impacted and what their plans are to help.
Officials are now saying the numbers could exceed as high as 80,000 today. As Dr. Afzal tells us, many of the needs in Pakistan are medically related and plans here locally to help are underway.
"My hometown is a bigger city. There was a lot of destruction, thanks God our house was okay," said Dr. Nadeem Afzal.
Dr. Nadeem Afzal grew up in the outskirts of Kashmir in a city known as Abbot Abad, only an hour away from the hardest hit areas of Muzzafrabad, and has family members still residing there.
"My parents and brother are okay, a few cracks in the house but otherwise a pretty solid house," Dr. Afzal said.
Unfortunately many in the area were not as lucky. Dr. Afzal says many living in the more rural areas are poor and live in houses made of mud and stone.
"In winters without earthquakes so many collapse because walls get soaked and they can crumble down. The ones in the smaller areas, they're the one I'm worried about and days are passing," Dr. Afzal said.
Now that the winter months are approaching, Dr. Afzal worries those who survived the initial phase may not make it through the frigid weather.
"The temperature goes below zero and in the mountains the snowfall starts right about now," Dr. Afzal said.
The cold weather is making items like blankets and warm clothes more valuable to those who need it.
"Anything, monetary donations, blankets, tents, warm clothes, shoes, anything will go a long way," Dr. Afzal said.
And for Dr. Afzal it's not a matter of if he'll go to help, but when.
"I want to go, I will go. Dr. Chaudri, Chief of MCG is planning to take a team soon, he got a lot of donations," Dr. Afzal said.
Dr. Afzal says the Chief of MCG plans on heading over to Pakistan with relief efforts sometime late this week or early next week. And the Islamic Center of Augusta will begin their fundraisers this weekend.
If you want to help, you can always go to any of the national relief organizations like the Red Cross or OXFAM to donate money or you can stop by the Islamic Center of Augusta located off of Middleton St. in Martinez. Click here to visit the Islamic Center of Augusta's website.

SAN MARCOS, Texas – For the second straight game, the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team was able to overcome a double-digit deficit in the second half to record a victory.
On Wednesday, the Islanders were able to erase a 16-point Texas State lead to defeat the Bobcats 68-60 in San Marcos, Texas. The Islanders now finished up their first road trip of the season going 3-0 after wins at Belmont and Tennessee State as well.
Freshman guard Brittany Mbamalu registered her third consecutive game of scoring double digits, as she went 3-7 from the field, including two threes, as well as a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line to amass 14 points.
Also helping the Islanders out offensively was Taryn Gregory, who tallied 10 points to go along with a game-high six assists. Another player who made a significant contribution on the Islanders' end of the court was Ashley Darley. She pulled down seven offensive rebounds to go along with three defensive rebounds, as well as eight points, finishing just shy of her second double-double of the year.
As a team, A&M – Corpus Christi cleaned up everything on the glass. The Islanders outrebounded their opponent 53-34, including 23-7 on the offensive end.
It was a slow start for the Islanders, as Texas State jumped out to a quick 6-0 start. A&M – Corpus Christi was unable to make its first three field goal attempts, before Mbamalu hit a three from NBA range to cut the Bobcat lead to three just two and a half minutes into the game.
However, Texas State would go on another run, this time a 7-0 streak to push its lead to double digits. Lexy Harris would put an end to the run, converting on a layup after a nice dish from Gregory.
The Bobcat runs kept on coming though, scoring the next nine of 11 points to make it a 22-7 ballgame with just under 11 minutes left to play in the half.
The Islanders would finally go on a drive of their own, draining eight of the next 10 points to make it a single digit lead for Texas State for the first time since the 14:40 mark. The run was capped off with a nice play by Mbamalu who drove down the lane and made a layup with 8:44 left on the clock in a 24-15 game.
The Islanders shooters then went cold unfortunately. They were not able to hit a shot from the field over the next 7:08 and Texas State was able to jump out to a 34-18 lead with less than two minutes left to play in the half.
Just like she did last week against Tennessee State, Camesha Davis found a rhythm down the final stretch of the first half, hitting a layup and two free throws to cut the lead to 12 going into the half.
In the first 20 minutes of play, the Islanders were only able to hit six shots, recording a percentage of 21.4 from the field. However, they made nine of 11 from the charity stripe to give them a chance going into the second half.
Things continued to look grim in the early stages of the second half for the visitors, as Texas State would score four of the first five points to start the half, going up by 15.
Jasmine Shaw hit her first field goal of the game, as well as the Islanders first field goal of the half at the 17:24 mark, to trim it back down to a 40-25 game. However, the Bobcats continued to keep the Islanders at bay, opening up a 16-point lead — the biggest of the night — nearly midway through the final half.
This was when the Islanders began to chip away at the lead. A&M – Corpus Christi knocked down four free throws in a row, before Gregory drove the lane to hit a layup to pull her team within 11. Harris recorded the next three points for A&M – Corpus Christi via a free throw followed by a layup to bring the Islanders within single digits for the first time since the score was 24-15 with 8:44 left in the half.
After scoring 10 of the next 14 points, it was Gregory who hit a layup with 3:49 left to give the Islanders their first lead of the game with the score 56-55.
Darley and Brandi Huff both hit jumpers to push the Islanders' lead to five, capping off a 25-4 run over a stretch of nearly nine and a half minutes.
It looked like the Bobcats would not go down without a fight, pulling the game within three on the next possession. However, Huff hit another jumper before Mbamalu hit the dagger, connecting on three to put the Islanders up eight with just 70 ticks left in the game. A&M – Corpus Christi finished off the game at the line to secure its fourth victory, tying as many wins as it had all of last season.
The Islanders will be off for the next week before returning to action on Dec. 5 to play in their first game in the American Bank Center this season. They will tip off against UTSA at 7 p.m.

OAKLAND -- There he was at the sweet conclusion, facing the exhilarated Oracle Arena crowd, hands aloft and clapping amid confetti, soaking it in. And, finally, before exiting the court, Jarrett Jack paused to make one final move.
The veteran guard stepped onto the seat of a chair near the Warriors bench to clap a few more times and take a well-deserved bow before walking away with a smile.
Jack could well have been asking of fickle Warriors fans a rhetorical question: How do you like me now?
They liked him plenty Sunday, their joy loudly evident during his essential work in a 97-87 Game 4 overtime win over San Antonio that allowed the Warriors to even these Western Conference semifinals at two games apiece.
It was Jack, of all players, who was most responsible for sending Warriors fans home delighted and putting the team on a high.
"When you have tough games or when you don't win, people are always going to look for something," general manager Bob Myers said, conceding that Jack is something of a lightning rod. "But you need to remind yourself that he's obviously a huge reason we won today -- and we're not even here without him."
To those who question Jack's value if not his toughness, he submitted 24 points and four assists in 37 minutes, every fraction of which was necessary with star guard Stephen Curry limping about on a tender left ankle.
To those who question Jack's judgment if not his intent, he owned the fourth quarter and overtime, setting the proper tempo, making big shots when they had to be made, passing for three other baskets and committing zero turnovers.
"People beat up Jarrett Jack. Why is he pounding the ball? Bench him," said coach Mark Jackson, who defends Jack at every bumpy turn. "I'm going to go with this group until I'm not here."
Jackson rode Jack for every second in the fourth quarter and overtime. He was rewarded with 12 points -- including eight of the Warriors' last 12 to close the quarter -- and three assists and zero turnovers.
And then there was Jack's crunchtime cool and hubris, an intangible he consistently brings.
It is this intestinal fortitude that makes him so popular with his coaches and teammates. Jack, 29, is that utterly fearless man who says what must be said and would not flinch at the prospect of accompanying a timid teammate through a long, dark alley in a cold, strange town.
Jack is, in oh so many ways, a sunnier and gentler Stephen Jackson.
That's why the Warriors, knowing they had a need for someone who could fill that role, as well as a couple others, acquired him in an offseason trade -- and why Jack saw the franchise as the right place for him.
"Just being a vocal presence, that was the thing that was probably most necessary here," he said. "I thought we had guys who were tremendously talented. (I was) just trying to convey coach's message, but not try to come in and overshadow the guys that were here already."
Jack is here to play point guard and give Curry a break from the duty. He's here to let his teammates know he has their back. He's an extension of his coach, and on this day he was the guy who got the Warriors into overtime and, eventually, engineered the victory.
Yes, Jack sometimes over-dribbles. He can get a bit too stubborn with his shot. He's prone to ghastly turnovers.
But every NBA contender needs two or three truly audacious players, and Jack bristles with that characteristic.
It is perhaps his greatest asset and surely his occasional downfall. It is why he is loved and hated and tolerated by Warriors fans. The man plays with their emotions, takes them on thrill rides.
The ride Sunday ended with Jack in control, orchestrating the rush that comes with knowing that no matter what happens in Game 5 Tuesday at San Antonio, this series returns to Oracle on Thursday for Game 6.
"We're not where we are without Jarrett Jack," Myers reiterated. "That's all the fans need to know and realize."
There were cheers at the end Sunday. They were for Jack, and he bathed in them. He had earned at least that much, at least until the next game.

Post subject: Frequent toilet trips
Sam has been toilet trained since before she was 2, and dry at night for just over 6 months now.
At first she was really good about going to the toilet, but lately she is constantly going. If we go out the house she will scream and cry that she needs the toilet. As soon as I drop her off at nursery she is going to the toilet, then she will insist on going when I pick her up.
The worst is when we are out, if I say there are no toilets, she will hold onto her bits jigging up and down and crying, so I end up looking like a bad mother.
She doesnt even need to go half the time, as she will either do a dribble or none at all. Sometimes I will make her wait and then it can be an hour or more before she needs to go.
She constantly moans that she is sore, which I have told her its because she goes to the toilet too much, and if she keeps doing it she will get ill and end up in hospital.
I really dont know what to do, the worst is when we are out as she will pick the most innapropriate times to have a melt down, like when in a queue in a shop.

Ah bless her. It must be confusing and upsetting for you especially when out and about! Are nursery able to write the times down for you and you monitor if it's the same at home too? I've been to help out at Isabelle's pre-school and both times she got up and asked for the loo right after the register, apparently she's in that habit too but at home doesn't go at that time x

An indoor gun range in Valley City has been closed because of excess lead.
City Administrator David Schelkoph tells the Valley City Times that (http://bit.ly/RCiAMB ) that the range was closed after state health officials did an inspection last month.
The range is in the basement of the city's law enforcement center.
Schelkoph says the city must clean up the lead and install a ventilation system before anyone can use the range.

Topic: Good Fortune
To all who post here and moderators, You are one of my many blessings. I am grateful to all of you for the information and support that have helped things go so well for me. I have been blessed with health, and my oncologist told me last week I am cured, I will not be seeing him anymore. It has been a journey that taught me about life and death, about happiness and sorrow, about small victories and big ones. It has been increasingly difficult to post about good news amongst so much sad news. My key to dealing with this has been to find a way to help others who need it, every day, to give myself in some random act of help or kindness with no reward intended. I hope to find a way to contribute in the future, but words and thoughts of encouragement have not flowed well lately and I almost don't remember the feeling of laying in a hospital bed. I have read more than written lately, and I hope for a way to contribute. i wish you all health and happiness, Pat

Game 1 Boxscore | Game 2 Boxscore | Schedule | Tournament Central
LAFAYETTE, La. – Junior Meagan McKinney's walk-off single to center field in the bottom of the seventh, lifted the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi (3-8) softball team to a come-from-behind victory, 3-2, Friday over Kentucky (7-7) at the Ragin' Cajuns Invitational at Lamson Park. After a one-hour delay in the middle of the third inning, the Islanders scored three runs in the final two innings to seal their third victory of the season. In the second game of the day, the Islanders dropped a 3-0 decision to No. 12-ranked Louisiana (13-0).
The Islanders move to 3-8 and will take on Southland foes - Nicholls State (8:30 a.m.) and Stephen F. Austin (6:30 p.m.) tomorrow. In earlier action today, Stephen F. Austin topped Nicholls State, 2-1.
For the latest on Islanders Softball, like the team on Facebook (Islanders Softball), follow them on Twitter (@IslandersSB) and visit www.GoIslanders.com.
GAME 1: Texas A&M - Corpus Christi 3, Kentucky 2
The Wildcats jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the opening frame and added another run in the fifth before the Islanders battled back to even the score in the bottom of the sixth. In the seventh, Hannah Schwarz started the Islanders rally with a bunt before Jamise Jackson singled to center field with two outs. McKinney followed suit by ripping a single to center field to plate Hannah Schwarz and lift the Islanders to their third victory of the season.
Kentucky's leadoff batter Kara Dill opened the first inning with a single to shortstop and advanced to second on a Brittany Cervantes sacrifice bunt. Alice O'Brien in the fifth slot ripped a single to right field to plate Dill and give the Wildcats an early 1-0 lead.
Freshman Cassie Carroll recorded the Islanders first hit of the game in the bottom of the first with a single to right center and eventually advanced to third. In the second inning, freshman Mickayla Heller singled to center field but Kentucky's defense buckled down, leaving two Islanders on base.
Kentucky tacked on another run in the fifth frame to take a 2-0 lead. Dill once again started the Wildcats offense with a triple blast to right center and eventually scored on Griffin Joiner's solo shot to center field.
Senior Sandy Schumann jumpstarted the Islanders bats with a single to right field in the fifth inning, but two groundouts ended the Islanders run. However, in the sixth inning the Islanders rallied back to knot the score at 2-2 with two hits off Ellen Weaver. Sophomore Jamise Jackson started the inning with a walk and moved to third after McKinney reached base on an error from the third baseman. Pinch hitter Karissa Haleman followed suit, driving in two runs with a double down the right field line. Haleman tallied two RBIs with Jackson and McKinney both plating runs to even the score.
The Islanders' bats rolled on with a Heller single to right field for her second hit of the day. Her single put Haleman in scoring position before freshman Hayley Galloway ended the inning with a groundout to third base to end the inning.
Kentucky answered with a single from Emily Jolly to right field before she stole third to start the seventh frame. Joiner reached base on a hit by pitch but the Wildcats' Rachel Riley flew out to first and the Islanders defense ended the inning and any threat of a Wildcat run.
Nine of the Islanders' batters tallied one hit apiece with Heller tacking on two hits. Haleman led the Islanders with two RBIs. Jordan Trujillo (3-2) picked up the victory in the circle for the Islanders in seven innings of work. The senior allowed seven hits, two runs, three walks while striking out six Kentucky batters.
Weaver (1-3) took the loss in the circle for the Wildcats in 6.2 innings. She allowed nine hits, three runs, two walks while striking out six batters.
GAME 2: No. 12 Louisiana 3, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi 0
In the Islanders second game of the day, the undefeated No. 12-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns were held scoreless until the fourth inning when Louisiana jumped out to a 1-0 lead. Matte Haack plated Louisiana's first run of the game on a double from Sarah Draheim. The Ragin' Cajuns padded the lead to 2-0 in the top of the fifth frame with two outs. Christi Orgeron singled to shortstop off a Vianca Pesina pitch and advanced to second on a Briana Cherry walk. Haack once again powered Louisiana's offense with a single through the left side to score Orgeron. Pesina pulled the Islanders out with a strikeout to end the inning, with the Islanders trailing by two.
Louisiana added another one run in the sixth off Greta Cecchetti who came in to relieve Pesina in the circle for the Islanders. Draheim scored on a Katie Smith single to third after reaching base on a solo shot to the left side off a pitch by Pesina.
Sophomore Laura Phillips registered the Islanders only two hits of the game in the second inning when she singled to right field and in the seventh when she had a solo shot through the left side of the field.
Pesina (0-4) dropped her fourth game of the season in five innings of work. She allowed eight hits, three runs, two walks, while striking out two batters. Cecchetti struck out three batters and allowed just one hit in two innings for the Islanders.
Ashley Brignak (7-0) sealed the victory for Louisiana with 10 strikeouts while limiting the Islanders to just two hits and she never gave up a walk in seven innings of action.

This recipe for creative play and water fun is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Enjoy exploring water play with your kids!
During this crazy heat wave, the kids have been enjoying lots of water play! Water play is not only great for imaginary playtime fun, but it also helps to keep the kids cool! So when my girls asked to build a mini water park in the backyard, they didn't have to twist my arm.
We found an old round sled from the garage, and filled it with water to use as a mini pond. A few pool noodles, while not necessary, added to the "water park" feel when arched over the top! They were held in place with bamboo skewers in the ground, and the holes of the pool noodles lined up over the skewers.
Clara thought these little Maritime Mates Boats from Melissa & Doug were just the cutest, and she could not wait to play with them!!
We thought maybe these little boats would like some passengers. I mean, what would a water park be without passengers, right?
So we took our bag of bugs for several fun-filled rides! The boats link together easily to form the perfect water parade. The girls loved using the spray bottle to make sure the bugs got wet on their water ride adventures. Of course, they managed to spray each other with water too!
There were lots of smiles and giggles! Isn't that what creative play is all about?
Hold on tight, bugs! Weeeeeeeeeee!!! What sort of mini water park will you build? A water slide, a pool, or maybe a water parade?
Have fun!!
Valerie Deneen is the author of Inner Child Fun, where she inspires parents to spend more quality time with their kids, and less money doing it. Inner Child Fun celebrates simple pleasures for all ages—with more than 1,000 frugal and creative projects sure to bring out the "kid" in you too! Follow Valerie on Twitter or say "Hi" on Facebook.

Comment by Anthony D - July 16 2014 @ 03:12 AMFantastic gloves. Lightweight and comfortable for all day use. Just starting using gloves while fishing and I don't think I could do without them now. My hands take a beating from tying and retying lures to removing hooks from fish. The finger cuts are perfect and the line stripping padding on the index fingers just works. Blue Quill Angler have great customer service, shipping was fast and every email sent to them was answered promptly and professionally. Thanks guys.User Rating:

July 6, 2012 -
The supply of O negative blood type has fallen to less than a one day supply. This drop in supply is largely due to lower blood donations attributed to the holiday week; local blood donors travelling out of town and higher patient usage. Southeastern Community Blood Center (SCBC) officials are appealing to the public to donate blood immediately.
To help motivate healthy individuals to give blood this summer, SCBC has instituted two donor incentive programs launched July 1.
Those giving blood will receive a beach bag at the time of their donation and be entered into SCBC's and Flowers Automotive Group's Honda for the Holiday's promotion. SCBC asks healthy individuals to do their "civic duty" by "getting into the "civic spirit" and giving a pint of blood. SCBC officials' hope donors will consider giving more than once between now and December 8 for multiple entries into the drawing.
Every week during the campaign, July 1 – December 8, 2012, one lucky winner (23 in all) will be chosen as a finalist. On December 15, one finalist will Roll Away the Winner of a brand new Honda Civic, donated by our friends at Flowers Automotive Group, in Thomasville, GA.
Only 6.5% of the population has O negative blood. However, O negative is the universal blood type which means it can be given to any patient regardless of the recipients' blood type. It is critical to the survival of emergency patients, trauma patients, premature babies and cancer patients. Blood donated today will likely be transfused into a patient within 48 to 72 hours. Additionally, O negative people can only receive O negative blood – so give in case you need it. SCBC is also experiencing an elevated need for all blood types. lood donors must be at least 17 years old (16 years old with a parent's permission) and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds. Donors receive a FREE cholesterol screening and wellness results online, or by phone, 72 hours after donating.

Hi, I am unable to have subtitles load up when I play .avi files.
In the title of the .avi in the ps3 menu is says Subtitles found, but when I play the .avi file nothing shows up.
What could be causing this? I tried many different .avi files (most of them are .srt based and the are named correctly).
BTW, this software rocks, only reason why I bought the PS3.

PARKERSBURG - Dr. Douglas L. Conrath left a donation to the Nemesis Shrine of Parkersburg.
On Nov. 3, the result of Conrath's contribution was dedicated at the Nemesis Shrine center at 244 Watson Road in Parkersburg.
The Conrath donation was used to purchase the 9.5-foot-tall statue, "Editorial Without Words," which stands near the entrance to the Shriners headquarters off U.S. 50.

Photo by Paul LaPann
The "Editorial Without Words" statue was dedicated Nov. 3 at the Nemesis Shrine at 244 Watson Road in Parkersburg.
Conrath of Mineral Wells died on Feb. 9. He was a member of the Nemesis Shrine.
A plaque next to the statue reads: "Editorial Without Words placed in memory of Noble Dr. Douglas L. Conrath, OD."
The statue is based on a photograph taken by Randy Dieter in 1970 at Hadi Temple's annual outing for handicapped children at the Mesker Amusement Park in Evansville, Ind. Dieter saw Shriner Al Hortman carrying a little girl in one hand and her crutches in the other.
Bobbi Jo Wright, the little girl in the photograph, said she has wonderful memories of the years as a patient at the St. Louis Shriners Hospital, according to a Shriners article. Wright, who was born with cerebral palsy, said she remembers the fun activities at the Shriners Hospital.
"They greatly improved my ability to walk," she was quoted as saying.
Today, the photo is an integral part of the Shriners Hospitals' logo and has been reproduced on stained-glass windows, mosaics, tie tacs, pins and in statues.
A replica of the "Editorial Without Words" stands outside the International Shrine Headquarters building in Tampa.
The statue is a beautiful addition to the local Shrine property, said Nemesis Shrine recorder Mike Thomas.
The fiberglass statue was made in Evansville, Ind.

1. Tsokolate eh!: 03:15
(Heh, whoops, forgot to post this.)
It must be a sign. Look! A recipe for tsokolate eh, that sinfully rich hot chocolate I really, really love - and it was posted on my _birthday_ last year! Check out Dessert Comes First: Tsokolate Eh! and the rest of that blog.
So I bought a pair of espresso cups from Ikea yesterday... =) Now, must stock up on evaporated milk. Whee!
2. I could've danced all night...: 03:32
... and in fact, I just did. Aside from a dinner break and a couple of dances that I skipped to snack on things or get water or chat with people, I must've danced for _eight_ _hours_ - from 6:30 until Matthew (the restaurant maitre'd, I guess) finally managed to get us to stop at 2:30.
Yes, my feet are killing me. I should seriously look into more support for my dancing shoes. They're marginally better than dancing barefoot (which I did at some point, to the regret of my toes), but I may need more cushioning.
Cushioning can only go so far, though. After all, I did dance for eight! hours!
Yes, there goes my exercise quota for the week. Hah. As if I'm going to be able to stay away from tango practica tomorrow, and the walk to Toastmasters on Tuesday... I should just figure out how to remove the athletic center from my fees. Or I should set aside time to go there and oh, use the exercise bikes...
Dancing was _tons_ of fun. I danced with a number of people, including a tango singer who performed at this show I saw last year. Dancing with a salsa teacher was particularly fun, as he kept introducing salsa tricks. Dips! Lifts! Vertical spins! (GWAAH!) It worked out very well, and Victor Hugo (the tango teacher and the DJ for this session) laughed and suggested that we practice for a show. A show!
As long as I don't neglect my studies and other things... =)
If I wake up late tomorrow, you know why.

Working out with Jewels Jade is such a special treat. Not only is she sweaty and horny, she will make you feel the same. Her body is to die for, so yummy and delicious. She admits her pussy is super wet as she works out, she must reach her hand down and touch it. She strips off her tank and shorts and continues to play with her pussy, this time bringing in one of her favorite glass toys. Enjoy this naughty gorgeous babe in action.
Shooting Jewels Jade in Arizona made her hot, she said it made her want to take her clothes off. Even with the hot weather she still had some really big hard nipples, she was so turned on. Her pussy was so wet and ready for some loving. Luckily she had packed a few toys to help get her off. Enjoy this beautiful babe do her thing.
One of your favorite girls rides the Sybian. We know Jewels Jade is popular and it's for obvious reasons. She has the entire package and she also knows what she likes. She really gets into this sex machine and makes herself cum really really hard. We know she will make you cum too, oh togetherness..nothing like it.
The stunningly gorgeous Jewels Jade rides the rocker for the 2nd time for her fans. She admits that she doesn't have one at home because she would never leave the house. She strips off her sexy white dress, showing off that hot toned perfect body...and there she goes. This is quite the excellent video of Jewels riding the rocker.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Thousands of cars. Plenty of spaces. An uphill climb to decide whether to pay or not to pay.
Tom Barnum decided the $10 was worth the convenience of a short walk.
"For what we have to pay for tickets, the parking stuff is insignificant really," he said.
He'd rather watch the professionals drive on the course than drive on the roads himself.
"As slow as the traffic is moving, I might as well walk in the sunshine instead of driving and getting any closer," adds Barnum. "But I think that it's about 3-400 yards."
Others did weave around Washington Road looking for open lots. That's especially true with workers saying good spaces in the free lots were going quick.
They could have found Kyla Tyler's home. She's on spring break.
"I had it at 10 (dollars) this morning, but then people were saying I should drop it to five (dollars), because of the other guy over there (had it at five dollars), so they probably would just go to his house," said Tyler.
This week used to be a moneymaker for Dad before the pedestrian gate was moved to Berckmans Road.
"He used to charge 20 dollars, and he used to get a lot of money every year since the gate was really close, but now since they moved it, it's kind of slow," Tyler adds.
Those who don't want to deal with the parking problem this week are leasing out their lots and letting others run them. Whole Life Ministries is doing it. The church won't say exactly how much it's making from parking this week.
The church says some people who are parking make donations. But who gets the money? That's confidential, some parking attendants say.

Once again this incredible offer it's available for a limited time (it ends in 13 days).
Pay what you want. If you bought these five games separately, it would cost around $50, but with this offer you can set the price!
You choose exactly how your purchase is divided: game developers, foundations (the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or the Child's Play Charity), or the company organizing this (Humble Bundle, Inc).
All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
The games don't use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely. There is no time-limit on your downloads.

I tried this before once and I've tried it again now, but replacing mencoder binary with one from macports results in none of the mencoder files playing at all. This is with the latest Otmanix build. It reports a mencoder return code 139. I can't seem to find the relevant error in the debug log.
I would gladly help with the building of the latest tools for the mac release, but I have no idea what the correct build configuration is.

Wow, I feel like an oxymoron, a writer who doesn't read much. While I like books, I prefer writing them to reading them. lol
Haha and I love how you take care of your books! You're so careful. My books are kinda beaten up and very dusty. haha. And I don't know how you read so many books, keep up a blog, and write, plus have a life outside of the literary world! I know I'm wiped after a day at school or work and my mind won't function properly. You amaze me :) in a very good way!
But some authors I adore are: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Janice Kaplan, Isabel Allende, Troy Cook, JR Tolkein, JK Rowling.
And I have a game for you! Read the directions from Serena's blog on how to play http://blackrosesee.blogspot.com/p/location-location-location.html
It's called Location, location, location. Anyway here's the location! Middletown, DE
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!!!

WOW what a thorough post! Right now I'm finishing about three different books my fav being Eat the Cookie Buy the SHoe a self help book. My Fair Lazy is coming in second. ;) And no e-reader? I must convert you!

My saddest thing is that I can't read in a car or on a bus, or on a boat... It sucks.
Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my e-reader. I can see a book I want, order it right there and start reading in a few minutes. But the closest bookstore to me is ten miles and it sucks, the next closest is 50. That might make a wee bit of difference.

Currently, I am reading many books due to the fact that I am in school and have books to read for that and that I have checked out quite a few at the library lately.
Taming the Highland Bride by Lynsay Sands
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (for book club)
Things Fall Apart (for English Honours)
There are more books but those are the only ones that come to mind right now.
Honestly, I love to read. I discovered this blog yesterday and I quite enjoy it.
Hi! :)

Saumya- You're not reading anything right now? I can recommend something good for you if you tell me what you like to read! Or you should check out Goodreads.com! :)
L.Diane- LOL, yup, that's how I feel too!
Zoe- Hahaha, yea those were the earlier books. The illustrations got a lot better in the later books!
T.J.- Well, I have no kids (except my husband, haha!) and I'm unemployed. So that's how I do it all! Honestly, you want to be amazed by someone who does it all, check out Jody Hedlund's blog (she's a writer who homeschools her 5 kids) and Elizabeth S. Craig, another one who does it all. Those are only two of many! So many bloggers have super powers, I'm pretty sure!
T.Anne- Lol, you can try, but it'd be waste of precious time you need for more important things like writing!
- September 3, 2010 at 10:03 PM
- Laura Marcella said...
Jolene- I'm sad I can't read in the car either. :( It's not fair! Yes, I'm whining like a little kid right now, haha.
Elizabeth- Thanks! I love the Berenstain Bears! I liked the books for younger readers best, but the chapter books I read in 1st grade were good, too.
Raquel- I know, just thinking about her makes me angry! I'm always amazed by a writer who can make me feel such intensity about a character.
Clarissa- Yes, do it!!! I saw these questions on a couple other blogs and I love everyone's answers!
Captain Bruce- That's quite a name you have there! Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! I also read Things Fall Apart in college. I was an English/Writing major, but I think I read that for a history class. I haven't read the other two yet. I hope you're enjoying the books! Thanks for stopping by and commenting and I appreciate the follow!
Michelle- You're welcome! These were fun questions. I enjoyed reading yours and other people's around the blogosphere! I actually really want one of Kathi's weekly prizes! Those chocolates are calling my name!!!

I'd advise you to continue to avoid The Shining - I read it in high school and had nightmares for... well forever! Well written and absolutely terrifying :)
- September 4, 2010 at 8:38 AM
- Lola Marseille said...
Haha, thanks for the welcome- I changed my name yet again. This is who used to be "Captain Bruce" by the way.
Yeah, I'm only a sophmore in high school but I'm in English Honours so we read advanced books and stuff.
I highly recommend anything by Lynsay Sands- she's a hilarious writer and I really enjoy her books. I don't know if you've heard of the series but she is the author who wrote the Argeneau series- it's a much better vampire series than Twilight, I can assure you.
You're welcome for the follow and I'm looking forward to more posts! :)

Wow, what a great meme!
I love Alistair McLeod. In fact, I'm going to Cape Breton (where most of his short stories are based) in about two weeks. I'll take lotsa photos for you (along with PEI)!
- September 6, 2010 at 9:29 AM
- Laura Marcella said...
Jemi- Thanks for the heads up! I can't see myself ever reading it. Only if I had to in a life or death situation or something, haha!
Lola- That's great! I haven't heard of that story. I'm not that much into vampires, so I've only read the ones that get a lot of hype which makes me curious to know what the buzz is all about. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for stopping by again!
Medeia- I know, it's awful! I just don't know how people can treat their wonderful books that way.
Talli- Please do!!! That's so awesome you're going to PEI. I can't wait to see the pics! I'm enjoying MacLeod's stories very much. Such beautiful writing! I'm planning on reading his novel, too.

I'm puzzled by your horror comment, maybe it's because I'm so open to reading anything, including a shampoo bottle. Lol!
lets see, I recently finished Tell All by Chuck Palahniuk and Wake by Lisa McCann. I enjoyed both for different reasons.
- September 9, 2010 at 6:36 PM
- Laura Marcella said...
Hannah- I read anything and everything-except horror. I'm a wimp, that's why! I can't even watch previews for horror movies. I cover my eyes and ears, ha! I've always had a vivid, runaway imagination, and horror has never been good for me. Heck, when I was little, Ursula from The Little Mermaid and the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz terrified me. I had all the Oz dolls, but I refused to keep the witch in my room at night. I'd play with her in daytime, but I thought she'd come alive at night. I'm over that now, though, LOL!!! So anyway, I can't read horror. I wish I could read the good ones everyone talks about, like Stephen King's. Maybe when I'm old I'll grow out of it? If I'm tired of living I can just read horror to scare myself to death, haha!
