We've had a great couple of days here competing for the 2010 World Championships. We started out yesterday with 2 big wins! Our first was against New Zealand, Eileen Canney picked up her first USA victory on the mound! We came back to the hotel and refueled for our game versus the home team of Venezuela. WOW! Oh my goodness it was packed! Crazy!!! The loudest crowd by far we have ever played in front of. It was loud the minute the Venezuelan team stepped on the field. The horns, whistles, chants, waves, and more never once stopped! There was over 7,000 fans in attendance! It was such an amazing feeling taking the field. We could not even hear one another out there on the field. Our non verbal communication skills were a necessity. We pulled out our second victory of the day! A fun one indeed, it will go down in the books!
The Venezuelan team are Rock Stars here... literally! They have a song written for them and even are in the music video! The song is awesome, hopefully we can hook you up with the link for you to hear yourself. We have been rocking out to it non stop. It is so much fun to see, experience, and to feel the love the Venezuelans have for their team. They too have been very gracious and welcoming to us, we are very grateful for the hospitality here! It makes me so excited knowing we will be in Oklahoma City in a few weeks on our home soil for World Cup!!! U-S-A!!!!!!! ;)
Today we played Botswana, we won 20-0. It is their first time qualifying for World's, it proves our sports growth all over the World. It has been so fun seeing them compete and getting the chance to have this experience. After the game they were so very sweet. They were telling us, "One Day, One Day, we will be that good." It made my heart melt... so many lives all over the world have been positively impacted by softball and sports alone! Its so incredible to see the opportunity for women on all continents. We will be leaving our equipment with them and others to help them in their pursuit of sharing and growing this game all over the World!
Yes, we are here to Win... Always! But there is SO much more to it than just winning! We are on our pursuit and mission for both. Enjoying the beautiful country and people of Venezuela, competing one day, one game at a time til the end of our quest and more quests to come. ...On & Off the field!
On a side note it was Lauren Lappin's Birthday today and we had a great celebration for her put on by our sweet hosts! We have the best local Venezuelan crew to help assist us! They are awesome... how awesome? Well let me just tell you this... Opening Ceremonies night our Bus Driver was hit by one of the Fireworks. Yes, hit by one... it was scary! Thank God he is OK and healing... but he didn't even take a day off. He is still driving us and will be til the end! Greeting us everyday with the sweetest smile on crutches with his poor bandaged up foot. Our friends we have made here have been fabulous and have made our stay so wonderful! They brought Lauren the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, a cake, and even sang to her. It was very very sweet!
Next up the Aussies tomorrow at 1pm!
I will tell you what Ace told me tonight on the phone, "Sweet Dreams!"

Jennie -- I got chills & tears when I read that the team is leaving their equipment behind for another team. AMAZING! Thank you for continuing to pave the way for other young women, whether here in the USA or across the world. Great way for Team USA to show what an incredible organization you all are and you make us proud to be part of the greater softball family. God has given you all a special gift and a special blessing. Continue using those and inspiring others in the process. Thank you ladies for being the best there is -- on and off the field. Leslie
I'm Venezuelan citizen but I go to school in the US, right now I'm spending my summer here with my family I went to the softball game yesterday, I think that I was the only one that supported you guys and all my friends were mad at me because of that LOL. Very nice to see both Venezuelan and USA national teams competing in my country.
Here's the song:

I mean, we understand nexon prohibits the IP therefore nexon could market maplestory2 mesos the game rights to companies natives to those regions, but again, from my experience, Maplestory within my state (Brazil) failed miserably simply because there weren't many players round. Unless they believe the game will continue in the long run, people will not purchase cash of Maplestory M Mesos Buy.
Also, one of the most important thing in a game in my view is equilibrium. I love to know that everyday that I will wake up and play the game without even surprises due to a company that is stupid. I'm sure many men and women think like me. Having IP ban in GMS, in 2015, is a indicator that nexon wants to kill the game indefinitely. Especially for Explorer, Cygnus Knight and non-maplestory2 Demon/Xenon Resistance characters ( MapleStory 2 Mesos since those tend to be treated by the story as members of a group, instead of a particular person ).
I think the mmoah website is a good choice because it has the same price as other game websites, but it is a lot higher than many websites in terms of quality and service. First of all, the gold coins（including FFXIV Gil） of the mmoah website are all real-life refining production, there is no machine fakes, and so on. Secondly, the security problem, mmoah website provides a variety of transaction methods to ensure the safety of users. Once again, the customer service of the mmoah website is a professional team, treating each visiting user with the concept of service first, and the customer's order is also the first time delivery. The online comprehensive evaluation is very high. trustworthy
