			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two days ago I received DM on twitter from one of my followers to join their Mafia family. I have seen this application over facebook and it seemed interesting. When second person DM me over twitter that I should join their &#8220;mafia family&#8221; I actually went and joined. Game itself is very lame. You click to do job, click to get respect points, but there is nothing interactive really. After 10 min playing, I returned back to work.</p>
<p>I was very, very surprised that I started to get DM and replies from my followers that everything I did on game was posted on my twitter feed. I was spamming all my followers with posts like :</p>
<p><span class="entry-content">&#8220;@gita_m has just done a job in Drug Deal in <a class="tweet-url hashtag" title="#MobsterWorld" href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23MobsterWorld">#MobsterWorld</a> <a class="tweet-url web" rel="nofollow" href="http://bit.ly/A9N4Y" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/A9N4Y</a></span><a class="entry-date" rel="bookmark" href="http://twitter.com/gita_m/status/3733424514"><span class="published">about 20 hours ago</span></a> from Mobster World&#8221;</p>
<p>And this feed was really, really long&#8230; So then I decided not to play this game any more.</p>
<p>Today I received DM from few people saying that this Mobster World is direct messaging all my contacts and asking them to join my Mafia family. I went into MobsterWorld again and there wasn&#8217;t anything telling me how can I stop it. Even &#8220;Contact Us&#8221; lead to the gmail e-mail that got no response.</p>
<p>Finally with help from my twitter fellows (special thanks to <span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">@<a class="tweet-url username" href="http://twitter.com/brenstrong">brenstrong</a> @<a class="tweet-url username" href="http://twitter.com/antgalvin">antgalvin</a>) I found that in Settings &gt; Connections tab you can &#8220;Revoke&#8221; application access to my account. Thanks god its gone for good! Now I should do the same on facebook as I did accepted some gifts from friend of mine there and it might be spamming my friends <img src='http://gita.agiletech.ie/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>
<p><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">So the bottom line:<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Please ignore all DM I sent to you and don&#8217;t play this game! You gonna loose all your followers.</strong></p>
<p>If you see anyone else &#8220;playing&#8221; this game then tell them its not worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The weather is getting pretty cold and it&#8217;s not like we can play outside much anymore. So I did some research over internet, what can I do with my kid indoors.</p>
<p>She is 5 so not too big and not too small. Currently when I&#8217;m busy she plays computer games, but it&#8217;s not the thing I wish her to do all weekends. </p>
<p>I found few games over net I probably should buy:<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrom">Carrom</a> (Indian game with moving discs. Haven&#8217;t seen it, but sounds fun)<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludo_(board_game)">Ludo</a> (I played similar game when I was small. It always made me sleepy)<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_(UK)">Bingo</a> (when I was small it was called Lotto. Good for kid to remember numbers)<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twister_(game)">Twister</a> (haven&#8217;t played it, have heard of it, I want it)<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://www.sourcingmap.com/funny-wise-balance-building-block-wooden-tower-kids-toy-with-different-pattern-design-p-20045.html">Tower</a> (you build tower from small wooden blocks and try to pull out without breaking tower. Should find where I put it)<br />
 &#8211; Cards (I used to play sooo much card games when I was small. Have to ask my mom send over card game book)<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uno_(game)">Uno</a> (also card game, but it is simple and fun for kids)<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego">Lego</a> (which kid doesn&#8217;t like it? I haven&#8217;t bought much Lego for my daughter, but probably should cause she loves building houses from everything else)</p>
<p>And few more ideas for myself to remember:<br />
 &#8211; Music lessons. My family loves singing and I know a lot of traditional English and Latvian songs.<br />
 &#8211; Cooking lessons. It&#8217;s always fun.<br />
 &#8211; Geography lessons. Spend one day related to one country. E.g. read about Italy, go to Italian restaurant, play Italian games etc.<br />
 &#8211; Exercise. I was thinking about buying Wii, but then I have to buy Tv as well (yep, don&#8217;t have any). Maybe then just switch on music and dance?<br />
 &#8211; Games like &#8220;Can you be a &#8230; snake &#8230;?&#8221; and let kid to do it. </p>
<p>And in worst case scenario I will allow her to play games. Currently she plays <a href="http://www.neopets.com/">NeoPets</a> and <a href="http://www.nickjr.com/playtime/index.jhtml?=">Nickelodeon</a>. They both has a lot of fun and educating games.</p>
<p>If we get out of the house to some indoor activities, I would want to go to following:<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://www.leisureplex.ie">LeisurePlex</a>. There is 3 of them in Dublin, however I find them very loud and tiring.<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://enrg.ie/">E.N.R.G. </a> &#8211; haven&#8217;t been there that&#8217;s why I want to see it. Seems big enough for few hours fun.<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://www.nationalaquaticcentre.ie/">National Aquatic Centre</a> is quite a far from our house, but it is a great place for full day fun.<br />
 -<a href="http://www.ark.ie"> The Ark</a> &#8211; also haven&#8217;t been there, that&#8217;s why I want to go there<br />
 &#8211; <a href="http://www.imaginosity.ie">Imaginosity</a> is close to our house and it is great for kids.</p>
<p>And there are few more places, that I&#8217;m not interested at the moment, but you can take a <a href="http://www.stickyfingerstravel.com/Rainy_day_activities/Rainy_day_activities.387.html">look</a>.</p>
