Darts is the perfect game to just chill and get wasted!

If you like pinball, try Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for the Wii. I bought it the day it came out. It has 10 classic tables and is awesome! Or, I see that Dream Pinball is scheduled to come out on March 31st. It's supposed to blend realistic pinball play with some console-style special effects...Originally Posted by Rose4uKY
Thanks, I think I'll get Pinball and Game Party and be done for a while. Cause I already got Guitar Hero and Dance Revolution and Mario Super Party 8 for when my nephew comes over. I bought Carnival but I don;t know I couldn't figure out how to get a game to start I just keep seeing prizes I need to try it again. And Olympics ame with my bundle I haven't opened it yet. And my nephew was happy I gave him Super Mario Brawl which also came with my bundle.
What about PDC World Championship Darts 2008, I think this looks like the best darts game, although I haven't played it yet
I think that's only available in the U.K for PAL systems...Originally Posted by sshhh
I ordered game party and the pinball today off Amazon. Can't wait to play..
I just baught a wii Sunday evening from target. Everywhere was sold out. So I got lucky last one left. I love mine. But some games are too dificult. Using HD TV and Component cables were on sale for 10 bucks at target.
Tennis is their best. But bowling is too slow. The balll takes all day to get down the lane.
And Game Party from Midway is cool but far from perfect. It was 20 at target.
shuffle board doesn't go far enough or fast enough. Not enough room to pull the puck back.
Skiball hardly ever gets off the ground. Hard to get the ball going fast.
Table hockey is way too slow. Can't hit the puck with force.
Darts never works. I looked at all the directions but it never throws a dart. I've tried all day long but it nevr throws. The darts never release.
The pong thing is also hard.
Basketball never goes in the hole or far enough to make it.
And I can't get trivia to work. Doesn't let me select a category.
Sorry maybe I'm just a slow learner. But tennis is awsome so I know how to use controller its just the game party I guess.

Great I ordered Game Party off Amazon the other day along with PinBall. I hope I don't have problems playing it. Is Trivia on Game Party?

Breakfast is poor. Staff is not great. Rooms are comfortable but not 100% clean. Location is too far from the center, moreover in an ugly neighbourhood. There was a lot of noise from the street (lots of cars) Still we had a good night there. But I don't recommend it.

The few cases where part of a much bigger order, and there is no possibility that mix can occur at bottling in any case. The rest of the people getting the same wine did not complain and found the wine be the same as always.

Being aware of the ego intervention when someone tastes and that tasting is a very subjective matter, I just refunded my customer asking him to not discuss with his customer and to accept the returned cases forwarding my apologize.

and the FohBoh Community,
Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and kind words.
I appreciate you all,
Hi, Bill --
Wonderful post, and my sympathies for your loss. Those of us in the "sandwich" generation are all going through the gradual deterioration and loss of parents, and it's tough. Sounds like you and your mom had a powerful bond.
Hi Bill...
Very sorry about your loss.
There have been times when I have picked up on the fact guests are in mourning or have gathered because of a death. While maintaining a professional demeanor, I do try to lighten things up with engaged conversation. At the end of the meal I usually bring our simple birthday comp (ice-cream scoop with chocolate and a candle.) I present it with the announcement, " This is in celebration of life... their loved one and their own."
It has usually been received with gracious and uplifting thanks.
You're right, Bill. It's not always about the money. So often the reward as a hospitality service provider is allowing people to escape their own crazy world and shelter them, if only temporarily, with caring hospitality.
Again, very sorry at losing your best friend.
Sincere condolences and best wishes Bill.
Great point - the difference between responsive, vivid service and hohum "customer service" is massive.
Here's to great service to human beings coming in through the door.
Awesome post ! I like the quote , as well : "food that nourishes their uniqueness as a person." Right on the money ! Excellent analogy.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.
Please to you and your family, accept my condolences.
Bill, I feel your loss my friend as is I went through the same 3 years ago with my Father in February and then my Mother in September. My families thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
As far as the article...Spot on my friend.
My condolences on your tremendous loss. The post is superb - you are so right and put it so well - "food that nourishes their uniqueness as a person" gets it right and speaks volumes to what this industry is and should be about in my estimation. Interestingly, you kind of foreshadow my next blog! Thanks and warm wishes.

Ken Jennings dissed!
I've really been enjoying Ken Jennings' weblog, especially his hilarious, satirical Dear Jeopardy letter (with later faux-correction (bottom)]. But some people don't get it. Michael Starr of the New York Post wrote at length this morning that Jennings is biting the hand that fed him. It gets worse: AP has picked up the story, which is where I first saw it: as a headline - 'Jeopardy' Champ Ken Jennings Blasts Show - on U.S. News & World Report. Ken has a response. Mine is disbelief...
Hark, the Canadian Liberal Party Leaders speak!
Comments that didn't get quoted because they weren't made.. Prominent Liberals have been jumping into the fray about the crisis in the Middle East and the evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon. Here are some (parodied) comments from them.
No, these Chaps are not the kind that is commonly preceded by the adjective "assless".
Advice for the Chap at heart.... "The web site you are about to enter contains words and images that may induce excessive languidity and an increase in levels of panache, leading to an overall rise in self-esteem. So sink into your deepest armchair, pour yourself a gin and tonic, light a cigarillo, and prepare to join the sophisticated world of The Chap." Being a Chap is, apparently, much more than just an excuse to wear a fedora and spats. The proper Chap has a Manifesto and a valet, shops at the Chap Emporium, and possibly practices the gentle art of househusbandry.
Taking satire way too literally
Eye Candy, Politics and WTF?
Dreamies. It's 1972, and affable salaryman and good husband Bill Holt quits his good job at 3M to become a musical pioneer from the comfort of his own basement. The resulting album, Dreamies, is notable for its generous and ahead-of-its-time use of sampling/plunderphonics and became a highly sought-after lost classic until its re-release this year. Bill now has his own website, also called Dreamies, where he releases Eye Candy and Politics in liberal doses. Some are hypnotic, some are, for want of a better term, 'relaxing', others are anything but. And all of them are subtly infused with the slightly unsettling taste of Huh?

I know I was! Until I found out about The Screenplay Agency, who promptly accepted every criminally copyright infringing idea I threw at them until I just KNEW I was every bit as good I writer as I've always told myself I am. And all they asked of me was approximately $250 in fees paid to coverage agencies no one has ever heard of and which seem to be owned by the same company that owns The Screenplay Agency! Sure, you've heard of publishing scams like Publish America (part 2) thanks to the diligence of sites like Making Light and our own thread on the matter, but The Screenplay Agency is totally different!

Intentions to Return of Undocumented Migrants: Illegality as a Cause of Skill Waste
In this paper we show that highly skilled undocumented migrants are more likely to return home than migrants with low or no skills when illegality causes "skill waste", i.e. when illegality reduces the rate of return of individual capabilities (i.e. skills and human capital) in both the labor and the financial markets of the country of destination. This proposition is first illustrated in a simple life-cycle framework, where illegality acts as a tax on skills, and then is tested on a sample of apprehended immigrants that crossed unlawfully the Italian borders in 2003. The estimation confirms that the intention to return to the home country is more likely for highly skilled than low-skill illegal immigrants. The presence of migration networks in the destination country may lower the skill-waste effect. The empirical result of this paper contrasts with the common wisdom on return decisions of legal migrants, according to which low-skill individuals are more likely to go back home rather than highly skilled migrants.

Andy Murray risked injury yesterday on his way to Wimbledon by jumping into the middle of a road to save a labradoodle.
The defending Wimbledon champion was driving from his home in Oxshott, Surrey, to the All-England Club when
he spotted the dog running towards the oncoming traffic.
After parking, Murray said that he "ran on to the road and stopped the traffic". He grabbed the reluctant dog by the collar and thrust it onto the back seat of his car. "It had obviously been chasing something because it was absolutely shattered," he said.
By coincidence the rescued dog knows

Amazing Journeys, Camels and Challenges
Vast desert landscapes, nomads with weathered faces and blue robes, who fit the very definition of exotic, lots of sand and lots of camels! These describe my past week or so in Oulatta, a small desert town and home to this year's cultural festival of Mauritania. As has often been the case through my African journeys thus far, the last few days were filled with excitement and awe, but also disappointment and frustration.
I want to provide a little disclaimer for my posts because some folks seem to be missing the point of them. To those of you from Africa, or, who spend years of your life in Africa, my view of the world and my blog posts will probably seem very much like a reflection of some middle-class-white-man's fantasy. And you know what? In a sense that's exactly what they are.
People love to talk as if they understand Africa or certain countries in Africa. Other whites/westerners who have stayed long enough, love to talk down to those who haven't spent as much time as them, as if only they are enlightened or truly understand. Some Africans get offended because (in their opinion) I exoticize things and don't show some supposed truth of progressive youth and incredibly forward urban areas of their country.
I make no apologies. This has and always will be a blog for my personal views and impressions. If I've presented something, it's because I saw it. I try to understand the countries I travel through and I do this through photography. However, I connect with some of them more, with others less. I also don't have a problem not understanding. I don't have a problem with not having a purpose, apart from to glimpse into the world of others. Generally I photograph what fascinates me, what I find beautiful. Simple as that.
Back to the journey. Oulatta is remote. It's about 1,300 km from the capital city of Mauritania, Nouakchott. Over 1,100 km along a paved highway and the last 120 km or so, along a desert track of sand, rocks and a very bouncy corrugated surface. I suppose because of the area's remoteness and proximity to Mali, some people had told me that it's dangerous to travel around there.
A caring French professor I met in Atar told me that I MUST enquire about an escort before I go deeper into the desert from Oulatta. So, I did. It turned out that the only escort provided was to Oulatta and the only reason for the escort was that a whole bunch of international press and local politicians were heading to the festival. It seems that the dangers are really blown out of proportion, and while I don't dismiss that there's a possibility of some bad-guys taking advantage of travelers in a car, the chances are about as much as getting bitten by a shark while swimming in the ocean. I didn't care much the escort and would have had a much more pleasant drive had I not joined it, but the police in Mauritania like to make the decisions for you sometimes, so, off we went with the escort. That above is just one of the machine-gun dudes that joined us and possibly 20-40 other cars.
Oulatta is a beautiful little town. There's a nice view point above it. We went up there, even camped on it, though the shots at sunrise did not turn out to be anything very special.
One of the unique features of Oulatta are the painted walls and doorways of the houses of the locals. While this stuff can be seen in many places in India, it's pretty unique for Mauritania. We spent a few hours over a couple of days wondering around the town. Of course, with the foreign press and tourists numbering in the hundreds, there were probably more of them then Oulatta residents, so, it is understandable that the residents were a little overwhelmed from all the photo-taking. This was part of the reason why I didn't stick around for very long and didn't shoot more in the narrow lanes of this town.
Local men walking through a street in Oulatta on a chilly morning.
Curious children outside of their painted home.
At any festival or gathering there's bound to be a whole lot of "characters". Oulatta was no exception. Most of these guys are nomads from the surrounding villages or settlements. Fairly curious and wanting to see a photo of themselves, all of these men asked me to photograph them.
A passing by nomad and his small family on camels.
Nomads waiting to sell their animals.

Improvisational animal market at the festival. In the back is the most popular car in Mauritania. It is amazing where people manage to get these. It was not an easy road from the last city by the highway – a sandy trail, sometimes fairly deep. I guess great drivers can get almost any car anywhere.
For me the whole thing turned out to be primarily about camel-racing. It's fairly disorganized and not very easy to follow, but, thankfully with the Landrover, I was able to get some shots that I am happy with.
The way it works is as follows; you find the place where the race starts. You go a little farther ahead, so that you can get the whole line-up of what's probably at least 200 camels in action. Then, you get in the car and drive like mad to over-take the camels and to get as many more tries at getting something decent.
The whole thing was definitely exhilarating. There were two races and the first one was a bit of a downer because someone joked around and there was a false start, which ended up with some camel-riders racing all the way to the finish line without realizing they're efforts don't count. Less camels turned up for the actual race.
The next and final race was the best. Everyone raced along a dusty track and this not only put almost everyone in the clear, but, the kicked up dust created a nice effect in some of the images.
I arrived in time to get a quick glimpse of the celebrations. The man with the raised stick, I believe is the winner. Amidst the chaos it was hard to tell 100%.
Chit-chat after the camel race. I wish I could listen in and understand what these men are talking about. It is something like "Did you see me make that corner bend?" or "How's the family and your household?"
The whole event was colorful and the sun was setting, making for some very vivid imagery.
Cameleers arguing after the first race. There was a lot to argue about. One young man complained of another pushing him off his camel, though he did get up and apparently get a place.
After the event is finished, the cameleers hang around while the spectators try to hitch a ride on the back of some very smoky Toyota Hiluxes.
The participants of the race head back to their camps around Oulatta.
Rather randomly we stumbled into a house with traditional music being played on an electric guitar. We were invited in. This man was the leader or a traditional traveling band, basically playing in the houses of rich folks. In this case they were playing in the home of the local Sheikh.
One really cool thing throughout the festival were the spontaneous burst-outs of dances. Usually a few women and an improvised drum were all that was needed to "get the party started".
Men in Oulatta, I guess as men all around the world are usually slow to join, so, when this fellow got into the action, it was much to the delight of all the surrounding women. There's an amazing energy around these dances. You just sort of gravitate to them when you hear the music. I joined in one myself during my last trip and Josh got "jiggy-wit-it" this time, only to be complemented in a rather strange way. A young nomad man told Josh "You dance very nice, like a woman."
A couple more images from the viewpoint above Oulatta.
So what was the frustrating part of this little journey? Partly the usual things that frustrate and annoy me. People trying to rip us off, which is fine or rather to be expected in the big tourist destinations, but, you don't expect to be quoted 30$ to take a shower by a village woman who initially offers you "help for a small amount of money". No thanks, I can wait for the shower.
The nagging for cadeu (gift) can get obsessive. Sometimes kids are intelligent and you can see it in their eyes. Other times, they just have zombie eyes and there's nothing that'll distract them from asking and asking again.
The most frustrating thing of course was self-inflicted. I somehow screwed up the clutch in my car. The road was quite rough from Oulatta to Tigjigja. The track would disappear and at certain moments I'd just find myself hopping from sand dune to sand dune. The whole thing was crazy, like a movie. The clutch went out in a small town called Tichit. With 270km of sandy tracks to go to the nearest paved road, we miraculously made it with a semi-broken clutch. We were VERY lucky to have made it. Getting stuck in the sand would mean many days till we'd even have a chance of getting the car pulled out.
Once we got to a highway we drove about 35km towards the capital and then, the clutch died completely. I always felt that tough moments and need for help reveals whether the people of a certain region are truly nice and helpful, or, not so much. It turned out to be the latter in this case, as I was charged an exorbitant amount of money to get towed back to the capital. Anyway. There are enough kind souls too. A Lebanese man who owns a garage in Nouakchott, where I fixed a small part before was ridiculously helpful. The man got me back on my wheels in 2.5 days! If anyone needs a mechanic in Mauritania, Nouakchott, he's just around the corner from the Star petrol station and Auberge Sahara. Honest, elderly man, who to me seems to be from a "no-bullshit-generation".
I thank my lucky stars. I stress again that I was very lucky not to get stuck in the middle of nowhere and I still have enough time for another quick journey into the "wild". That's exactly what I'll do from tomorrow onwards.
See you all in a bit!
P. S. – Still shooting with the Fuji x100s and loving it! The only images not taken with it are the camel racing (shot with a 70-200 on a Canon 5D MKIII) and the one of the two nomad friends with the sand blowing.

on November 25, 2013 - 10:00 PM
WASHINGTON – For President Obama, whose popularity and second-term agenda have been ravaged by the chaotic rollout of the health care law, the preliminary nuclear deal reached with Iran on Sunday is more than a welcome change of subject.
It is also a seminal moment – one that thrusts foreign policy to the forefront in a White House preoccupied by domestic woes, and one that presents Obama with the chance to chart a new American course in the Middle East for the first time in more than three decades.
Much will depend, of course, on whether the United States and the other major powers ever reach a final agreement with Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions. Obama himself said Saturday night that it "won't be easy, and huge challenges remain ahead."
But the mere fact that after 34 years of estrangement, the United States and Iran have signed a diplomatic accord – even if it is a tactical, transitory one – opens the door to a range of geopolitical possibilities available to no U.S. leader since Jimmy Carter.
"No matter what you think of it, this is a historic deal," said Vali R. Nasr, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. "It is a major seismic shift in the region. It rearranges the entire chessboard."
Obama has wanted to bring in Iran from the cold since he was a presidential candidate, declaring in 2007 that he would pursue "aggressive personal diplomacy" with Iranian leaders, and ruling out the concept of leadership change, which was popular at the time.
But the president has sought to avoid being consumed by the Middle East, in part so he could shift America's gaze to Asia. He has tended to view Iran through two narrower prisms: his goal of curbing the spread of nuclear weapons and his desire to avoid entangling the United States in another war in the region.
Friday, Obama huddled in the Oval Office with Secretary of State John F. Kerry over the fine points of a proposal to the Iranians. He was intent on making sure that Iran halted all testing at a heavy-water reactor, a senior administration official said, and in tying any reference to Iran's enrichment of uranium only to a final agreement.
Still, pursuing a broader diplomatic opening, Nasr said, could alter other U.S. calculations in the region – from Syria, where the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah is fighting alongside President Bashar Assad's government, to Afghanistan, where the Iranians could be helpful in brokering a postwar settlement with the Taliban.
The prospect of such a long-term strategic realignment is precisely what has so alarmed U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf emirates and Israel, whose leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Sunday condemned the deal as a "historic mistake."
It is also what has stirred opposition from lawmakers, including those of Obama's party, who complain that the deal eases pressure on Iran without extracting enough concessions.
"It was strong sanctions, not the goodness of the hearts of the Iranian leaders, that brought Iran to the table," Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday.
To some extent, Obama finds himself in a predicament similar to that of his policy toward Syria, where allies like Saudi Arabia favor more robust support of the rebels fighting Assad. Some experts predicted that the tensions over Iran would only deepen because the administration would be determined to prevent the deal from unraveling.
As Obama looks ahead, however, it is not the fine details but the big picture that is likely to dominate his attention. Among the decisions he faces is whether to treat Iran's nuclear program as a discrete problem to be solved, freeing him up to focus more on Asia, or as the opening act in a more ambitious engagement with Iran that might give it a role in Syria, Afghanistan and other trouble spots.
Aides say that he is open to this but that it will depend on factors that are out of America's control, such as moderates' gaining ground in Iran. And given the extreme sensitivities the interim deal has aroused in the Middle East and on Capitol Hill, the White House is being careful to cast the coming negotiations narrowly.
"First and foremost, this has been a multifaceted, multiyear process to address a serious security concern," said Thomas E. Donilon, former national security adviser to Obama, who coordinated Iran policy before leaving the White House in July.

Implementation of a Speech Coding Strategy for Auditory Implants
In this paper the authors present the conception and the implementation of a speech processing interface for cochlea prosthesis. This module is based on a numerical speech processing algorithm which modelizes the infected ear and generates the stimulus signals for the cilia cells (brain). This interface uses a gammachirp filter bank constituted of 16 band pass filters based on IIR filters. The central frequencies and ERB bands are computed with Glasberg and Moore models; however stimulus signals are selected after a spectral energy analysis of each channel. The energy and the amplitude of the selected BFG filter bank outputs are quantized and transmitted to the cochlea electrodes. To validate the work, they tested it on vowels, consonants then on several words pronounced by different speakers.

Rice or wheat cereal
Motherhood ...it has changed me, the whole of me n am loving it....sometimes though. hahahahahaha
Comments (8)
We started with rice cereal just a few days ago. My lo is currently sick, but when she is feeling better we plan to start trying to introduce solids as well. I think we'll start with butternut squash and applesauce and see how that goes. =)
bought a few jars but also plan on making baby food. I've heard to start with veggies first. If they taste all the sweet fruit it might be difficult to get them to try veggies. Not sure how much truth there is there.
Not to try selling products but I have to say I got what seems to be a fun gadget from BRU. It's a contraption that allows you to put homemade baby food into those squeeze pouches. Infantino makes it. I'm hoping it works!
It is also not necessary to do the cereal at all, a lot of people just skip it completely and go straight to vegetables. Some even start with proteins.
It's really up to you.
Cardo- 7/12
Lucca- 8/13
Brianna (25) & Sean (25) married May 17, 2010
Elena (Sept '12)
Due with #2 (Dec. 17 '15)
We started with oatmeal and are slowly adding in veggies. We mix the oatmeal with pumped bm and have tried green beans (didn't like them) and carrots (love them). Good luck!
DS drinks so much (36oz a day), the ped said to start Cereal 1x a day for a few weeks then 2x then add a furit or veggie every 3-5 days.. Try to fill him up otherwise..
I gave him Gerber Whole Grain Cereal.. the first time was a mess but he ate some.. the 2nd time i made it a little thicker he ate the whole bowl.. (a tablespoon of cereal with 3 tbsn of Formula)
I waited a few days, this week he has watery BM's so I tried to give him cereal .. I changed to the Organic Whole Grain Cereal (I read bad things and heard only bad things about whats in Gerbers Cerals and baby food, even there organic kind) and hes almost Gagging when i gave it to him. I added a tiny bit of Organic no sugar added Apple Sauce, that helped a little but he was trying to do a BM both times when I was feeding so he had no interest.
Advice for 1st feeding- Leave LO in a diaper only and get the Camera and bath ready! LOL It was fun but messy the first time, esp bc DS grabbed the bowl and it went EVERYWHERE! It may take a few times bc LO takes to it.
TTC for #2 since 2015
Sorry I forgot to add that i changed to Earths Best Cereal
TTC for #2 since 2015

This hotel may not have the prettiest lobby in the city, but it enjoys an excellent location across from the Salt Palace Convention Center. You'll find lots of families here, since kids under 12 stay free. Guest rooms are standard, with large TVs, work desks with data ports, wet bars, fridges and the usual generic amenities. The 1,450-square-foot Penthouse Suite houses three rooms, and the view from the 12th floor alone is worth the higher rate.
