BlackBerry (formerly RIM) may have just lifted the lid on its completely overhauled BlackBerry 10 OS for mobile devices, but CNET has been testing the heck out of the OS and Z10 smartphone for over a week now. There are elements that we love and elements that we, frankly, think the smartphone-maker could have done better.
So, three of us who have spent time with the Z10 and its OS put our heads together to offer up a few suggestions that we'd like to see in BlackBerry's inevitable first OS update. And yes, we have more suggestions for the platform's long-term development after that.
- Smoother front-end animation when you open an app (currently takes you to the multitasking screen each and every time before opening)
- More camera options: HDR mode, panorama mode, ISO, resolution options
- Walking and transit directions in maps app; more granular maps data to show local businesses; satellite and 3D mode
- Native podcast app that links into the music player
- Long press the period on the virtual keyboard to get comma and exclamation point punctuation
- Faster rotation speed from landscape to portrait mode
- Improved battery life (this was mixed for three testers)
- Better integration with Google's social services
- More transparent, better surfaced toggle to switch from desktop to mobile mode and back (current toggle is in Settings > Developer Tools)
Take a tour of BlackBerry 10 OS (pictures)See all photos
Things we really like about the OS now:
- Overall graphical look and feel
- Fade animation when swiping home screens
- BlackBerry Hub
- Photo editor with wide variety of tools and filters
- BlackBerry Messenger
- BlackBerry Balance (smaller subsection of beneficiaries)
- Multitasking screen
Our friends in the U.K. get the first chance to buy a BlackBerry 10 device in the form of the Z10, followed by Canada and the UAE in February. The phones are expected to arrive in the U.S. and other countries around the world as late as March or April (a shame!), to wide U.S. carrier support.
CNET will have much, much more in-depth content coming up for the Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 in the coming weeks, so check back often! In the meantime, read CNET's full BlackBerry 10 OS review for all the details.

The world is living through a lot of tumult at the moment: governments falling, economies teetering on the brink of failure. As if that global drama is not enough for us to deal with, it seems that this turmoil is also playing itself out, albeit in a much more minor and somewhat ridiculous way, within our yoga community.
Lately, there has been one yoga controversy after the next. This week the controversy was about the New York Times article labeling yoga as "dangerous." That one kicked up quite a firestorm!
And most recently, the one that is currently swirling around and in which I have found myself front and center, is the controversy of the Equinox Sex.. er, I mean Yoga, video.
I first saw this video last week when it was posted on Elephant Journal. I was immediately captivated by its raw beauty, by the absolute grace and poise the yogini displayed as she skillfully and mindfully moved between the challenging and complicated yoga poses. For me, this was watching art in motion.

NEA applauds Senate sponsorship of Education for All Act
Sen. Gillibrand to lead Senate push for passage
WASHINGTON - September 20, 2010 -
The National Education Association (NEA) and its 3.2 million members applaud U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D-N.Y.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, for announcing that she will sponsor the Education for All Act of 2010 in the Senate. The legislation, introduced in the House earlier this year by Reps. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) and David Reichert (R-Wash.), would help achieve universal quality basic education by assisting developing countries in strengthening education systems, facilitating U.S. support of a Global Fund for Education or new multilateral education initiative, and promoting education as a core U.S. development priority.
The Education for All Act of 2010 amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, declaring it U.S. policy to work with foreign countries and international and civil society organizations to achieve universal basic education. Additionally, the legislation directs the president to develop a comprehensive U.S. strategy to promote universal basic education by 2015, and authorizes the president to provide the necessary resources to qualifying foreign countries to create the policies, processes and infrastructure to develop free quality national basic education programs.
The following statement can be attributed to NEA Vice President Lily Eskelsen:
"On behalf of the National Education Association and our 3.2 million members, we commend Senator Gillibrand for her remarkable leadership on this important international education issue. At NEA, we know that investing in quality education programs is one of the best investments any government can make. You see the returns in health care outcomes, economic growth, sustainable use of resources, and a more engaged citizenry. Investing in young minds today means investing in the future for all of us. We are five years away from meeting our commitment to achieve universal basic education.he commitment to achieve universal basic education. We cannot afford to fail."
NEA also commended New York State United Teachers President Richard C. Ianuzzi and human rights activist Kerry Kennedy for securing Gillibrand's support for the legislation.
"We can stay the course and watch another generation of children fall victim to poverty, disease and conflict," said Joanna Kuebler, director of the Global Campaign for Education –U.S. Chapter. "Or, we can see the Education for All Act realized and invest in the next generation of teachers, innovators and world leaders."
The National Education Association is the nation's largest professional employee organization, representing 3.2 million elementary and secondary teachers, higher education faculty, education support professionals, school administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers.

Yesterday we woke up in a world where the beta for StarCraft 2 hadn't been released yet, and we went to sleep in a world where about 1,700 people were playing it. Those aren't tremendously good odds for getting into the beta, but we can only hope more players will be added as things move along.
Blizzard was kind enough to give us a few beta keys to try the beta internally, and sadly we found that you can't play with friends across oceans—Peter Bright and I were unable to play a game together due to his location in the UK. Alas. We did stay up all night playing the game though, and almost as impressive as the game was the experience of using the new and improved Battle.net. The service is polished and easy to use, even in the beta. If this is the new home of Blizzard games, we want to move in.
So what are some things to do in the beta? Come with us and take a look at how we spent last night.
Take a look around the new Battle.Net
This is going to be your home for the next decade or so if you're a Blizzard fan, and the good news is that this thing is slamming. The interface is simple to use, the social aspects tie into the game, and everything feels zippy and smooth.
When you chat with a friend, the window can be moved anywhere on screen; you can check your friend's profiles to see their win-loss record and recent games, and everything is placed exactly where it needs to be. If you're lucky enough to have wrangled a beta invite, spend some time just getting used to the new digs. Blizzard has put together something very special.
Jack your resolution
There is nothing like running a real-time strategy game at 1920 by 1200. Now, upping your resolution simply adds sharpness to the screen, it doesn't look like you'll be able to see more of the map with a big screen at higher resolutions. I'm playing on a 24.5" monitor and at first it was frustrating to see how zoomed in the view was, but we have to be fair for competitive reasons. Still, it looks nice.
You can adjust the texture quality and the reflections, and the unit portraits can be in 3D or 2D. You can adjust the sounds so that the interface noises can't be heard over the ambient sounds or the sound effects. You can set your voice chat to voice-activated or push-to-talk, and your mouse options are completely configurable.
Whether you have a high end or mid-range system, you'll be able to get this game running decently, and the list of adjustments and possible tweaks is impressive. This kind of customization should be standard for PC titles, but sadly, it's not. Seeing a game that's clearly built from the ground up for PC gamers, with all that entails, is refreshing.
Learn from your enemies
Your matches are saved as replays in Battle.net, so you can go back and take notes on exactly what went right and what went wrong. You can watch the game from your perspective or from your enemy's, and you can pause, fast-forward and rewind. It's all very easy to use. The ability to zoom into the fight also allows you to enjoy all the eye-candy without worrying about messing up your game.
After losing, which is happening frequently to me right now, it's great to go back and see exactly what my opponents did. How quickly did they explore? Where did they send scouts? What's their build order? Knowledge is going to be viral in StarCraft 2, with every move you make becoming an open book after each match. This may annoy those who like to keep their strategies secret, but for those of us who aren't as skilled at real-time strategy games, every match is going to be like going to school.
Your replays can be accessed by hitting the camera icon in the upper right portion of the screen, and they're arranged by type of game or just in chronological order. You can save or delete them at will, or organize them into folders. It's simple, and makes learning the game a snap.

Nearly three quarters of enterprises in Europe are planning to increase spending on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) over the next two years, as adoption of cloud-based solutions gathers pace across the globe.
According to an new survey by Gartner, investments in SaaS are expected to increase across all regions. Seventy-seven percent of respondents expected to increase spending on SaaS, while 17 percent plan to keep spending the same.
In Europe and the US, enterprises are beginning to use SaaS as a replacement for legacy applications. Gartner said that 71 percent of European enterprises were planning on further cloud spending in the next two years.
This differs from the Asia/Pacific region, where the primary adoption driver of SaaS is net new deployments because many of the users are relatively new businesses with few legacy systems.
"Seeing such high intent to increase spending isn't a huge surprise as the adoption of the on-demand deployment model has grown for more than a decade, but its popularity has increased significantly within the past five years," said Charles Eschinger, research vice president at Gartner.
"Initial concerns about security, response time and service availability have diminished for many organizations as SaaS business and computing models have matured and adoption has become more widespread."
Customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise content management (ECM) were highlighted as the applications most often being newly deployed, while supply chain management (SCM), web conferencing, teaming platforms and social are mostly chosen as replacements for on-premises solutions.
Eschinger said the decision to deploy SaaS-based applications within an enterprise is dependent on the business-criticality of the solution, as well as geography, business agility, usage scenario and IT architecture.
"Few organisations will completely migrate to SaaS. These organisations will live with a mix of SaaS and traditional on-premises application deployment models with a focus on integration and migration between different deployment models," he said.
Gartner's report, "Survey Analysis: Buyers Tell Us About SaaS and Cloud Adoption Through 2014," is based on interviews with 556 organisations across 10 countries and within four regions.
Additional analysis will be discussed at the Gartner Data Center Conference, 3-6 December in Las Vegas.

The central prayer of the Eucharist is the Eucharistic Prayer, often called the canon in the West but called the anaphora (the "offering up") in the Byzantine tradition.
Eucharistic Prayer
There are three somewhat overlapping parts to the Eucharistic Prayer, Thanksgiving, Anamnesis, and Epiclesis. But before the prayer can begin, there must be solemn expressions of love and of faith. Unity in love and in faith is needed for our self-offering and communion with God. We first hear: "Let us love one another that with one mind we may confess. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Trinity, one in essence and undivided." The "kiss of peace" exchanged by the clergy, and the Symbol of Faith is chanted.
Here is a portion of the prayer from the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom where thanksgiving to God the Father for all that he has done in Christ and the Spirit. We remember all things and are grateful to God. Our remembrance and our thanksgiving take us into the very presence of the Kingdom to the Throne of the Father to sing the Thrice-Holy Hymn with the angelic choirs. (Isaiah 6: 1-5)
- ...It is meet and right to sing to thee, to bless thee, to praise thee, to give thanks unto thee, and to worship thee in every place of thy dominion: for thou art God ineffable, inconceivable, invisible, incomprehensible, ever existing and eternally the same, thou and thine Only-begotten Son and thy Holy Spirit. Thou it was who didst bring us from non-existence into being, and when we had fallen away didst raise us up again, and didst not cease to do all things until thou hadst brought us back to heaven, and hadst endowed us with thy kingdom which is to come. For all these things we give thanks unto thee, and to thine Only-begotten Son, and thy Holy Spirit; for all things of which we know, and of which we know not, and for all the benefits bestowed upon us, both manifest and unseen.
- And we thank Thee for this liturgy which Thou hast found worthy to accept at our hands, though there stand by Thee thousands of archangels and hosts of angels, the Cherubim and the Seraphim, six-winged, many eyed, who soar aloft, borne on their pinions, singing the triumphant hymn, shouting, proclaiming and saying:
- Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
This narrative culminates in the of the Last Supper, and the words of Christ: "This is my Body ... This is my Blood..."
This section is called the anamnesis or oblation in that it references Jesus' command, at least implicitly, to "do this in memory of me" and states that the gifts of bread and wine are offered to God in memory of Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and second coming. It culminates in the priest or deacon elevating the bread and wine while the priest exclaims: "Thine own of thine own we offer unto thee on behalf of all and for all."
Epiclesis is the Invocation or 'calling down' of the Spirit on the Holy Gifts
The Orthodox Faith, Written by the V. Rev. Thomas Hopko

Earlier this year, the White House released a general explanation of the Obama Administration's proposed fiscal year 2013 budget. While not legislation, the explanation offered a glimpse of what may be on the horizon, including several interesting changes related to the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax. In this article, I will focus on two provisions that would forever change a very popular wealth transfer planning strategy: "zeroed-out" grantor-retained annuity trusts (GRATs).
The provisions call for new restrictions on GRATs — specifically, that any GRAT must have a minimum term of 10 years and that the present value of the remainder interest must be greater than zero upon creation of the trust. If adopted as legislation in 2013, these provisions would effectively put an end to the use of zeroed-out GRATs, which allow clients to make significant wealth transfers to family members without incurring gift tax liability.
How GRAT strategies work
When the grantor transfers an asset to a GRAT, he or she retains an interest in the trust in the form of an annuity payment, which is distributed to the grantor over the trust term. At the end of the term, the assets remaining in the trust pass to the remainder beneficiaries.
What makes this such an effective wealth transfer strategy? First, although the initial transfer to fund the GRAT is a taxable gift, the amount of the transfer that is taxable is reduced by the annuity interest retained by the grantor. Therefore, the larger the annuity payment retained by the grantor, the lower the taxable gift upon creation of the GRAT. In addition, any appreciation of the GRAT asset during the term of the trust above the applicable federal rate (AFR) upon creation will pass to the trust beneficiaries without an additional tax impact.
With a zeroed-out GRAT, the grantor retains a whole (or close to whole) interest in the property transferred to fund the trust. By optimizing the annuity payouts, the entire interest transferred to the trust is returned to the grantor over the GRAT term. Optimizing the annuity payments essentially zeroes out the remainder interest, resulting in minimal or no gift tax on the initial transfer. And remember, appreciation of the GRAT asset above the AFR during the trust term passes to the GRAT beneficiaries free of any transfer taxes.
Carpe GRAT
If you have clients with assets that are expected to appreciate in a short period of time and for whom efficient wealth transfer is a priority, consider implementing a GRAT today. With the current lifetime gift tax exemption at a historic high of $5.12 million, a top gift tax rate of 35% and a historically low AFR of 1.20%, it only makes sense to explore the wealth transfer benefits a GRAT can provide.
While it's difficult to say what will change in 2013, initial indications suggest that GRATs may lose their revered status among wealth transfer strategies. Wealth managers would do well to take advantage of this opportunity now, while current law provides the utmost flexibility.

If you want to survive in the game of sports betting, Largest Betting Companies In The World in Rating then you have to use effective money management. I recommend that you follow these guidelines at all times.
- Only invest what you can realistically afford to lose. Best Sports Betting you have to remember that you really do not need to start with al a lot of money. I got started with only $100 dollars and I followed the system and my money has doubled over and over again over the course of years.
- Do not make your initial bet too high. Only invest 5% of your total bankroll for a flat betting system (in which you bet the same amount each time) and no more than 2% for a progressive system. You need to be patient here and allow your systems to do their slow and steady work.
- Increase your initial bets when your bankroll has increased by 25%. This will increase your earning power, Largest Betting Companies In The World just remember to stick to the suggested percentages in #2.
- Remember to Diversify your portfolio. If you have a total bankroll of $1000 and 4 systems that you would like to use, then each system should be allotted $250 and you have to keep those amounts separate.
You have to be disciplined in your use of your systems and in your money management strategy. It can be difficult especially you are doing exceptionally well or if you are losing badly. You may be tempted to deviate from the systems or the money management guidelines in either of those situations. But do not, Best Online Betting Sites Offers just remain diligent and the rewards are sure to follow.
Largest Betting Companies In The World in Rating?Introduction In article one, I introduced you to the Betting Exchange concept and explained the basics of LAY Betting (Lay to Lose). Now in this article, I'm going to introduce you to another unique and powerful feature of the betting exchanges, the Place Markets. What Are Betting Exchange Place Markets? Place markets are as the name suggests, markets which allow you to bet on a selection to be 'placed'. Eg. a horse to finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a 8 runner or larger field. Now, the first and most important thing to highlight here is that these place markets are completely different to the well known Each Way (EW) betting markets offered by traditional bookmakers. The Each Way bet is in fact 2 bets of equal stakes. The 1st stake is on the selection to win and the 2nd is on it to be placed. So a £10 EW bet will cost you £20 in total. A £10 place bet on a Betting Exchange is a single bet and therefore will only cost you £10. If your selection finishes in a place, you collect your winnings and smile. Think about it for a minute. How many times have you been certain that a horse will be placed, but you have not been confident that it will win... Traditional Each Way Betting Take the following example. A horse named 'Im gonna be placed' that is available to back with traditional bookmakers at 4/1 (5.0). Your very confident that it will finish in the top 3 in a 10 runner field. With a traditional bookmaker, your options are: 1) Take a chance on it winning and place a win single on it. E.g. £10 at 4/1 2) Place an EW bet on it. E.g. £10 EW at 4/1 (5.0). Total stakes £20. The bookies will pay you 1/5 odds on the place element of this E/W bet based on their standard EW rules. On our horse which is available to back at 5.0 this equates to 1.8 Now, the only time the above race will be profitable for you is if the horse actually wins. In both cases you would make a very nice profit if it did. For option 1 you would win £40 profit and for option 2, £48 profit. BUT, if as you suspected the horse only finishes placed in 2nd or 3rd, you actually lose money in both cases. With option 1 you obviously lose all your stake money so are down £10. With option 2, you win £8 on the Place side of the EW bet but still lose £2 overall as the win part of the bet was a losing one. Enter The Betting Exchange Place Markets Using the above example and depending upon the prices of the other horses in the race, you would probably see the Betting Exchanges offering odds of around 1.60 - 2.00 (evens) on this horse being placed. You can therefore put your £10 PLACE bet on at say 1.8 and collect £8 profit (minus commission) as long as the horse finishes 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Only if the horse finishes outside of the top 3 do you lose your £10 stake. I'm sure this has got you thinking and you can probably see the power in this straight away! When combined with a good staking plan and a sensible selection process, it can be common to have very long winning streaks when backing horses to be placed on the betting exchanges. These longer winning streaks more than make up for the relatively short prices that are offered on selections to be placed. Place Market Important Notes A few important things to note about place markets: 1) Unlike the betting exchange win markets, Place markets DO NOT go "In-Running" when the race starts but this is true of the traditional E/W bets offered by bookies as well. 2) If a race is planned as a 8 runner or more event but a number of horses become non-runners leaving less than 8 runners, the betting exchanges still offer odds on 3 places. This is different to bookmakers who in such cases adjust their odds on the place payment from 1/5 to 1/4 of the win odds BUT they only pay out on 2 places. If a 5,6 or 7 runner field is shortened to less than 5 runners, the betting exchanges will still offer place markets and payout if the horse finishes 1st or 2nd. 3) You can make up the equivalent of an E/W bet on the betting exchanges by placing a bet on the win market and a separate bet on the place market. Depending upon the type of race and the form of the market, you will often find that this offers more value in terms of odds than an E/W bet with a bookmaker. Backing Or Laying On The Place Markets As explained in article 1, the ability to Lay a selection is perhaps the most important feature of the betting exchanges. You now have the ability to Lay selections to be placed. In other words, if you have a valid reason to believe that a selection will not even finish in a place, Lay it to Lose on a betting exchange. The real beauty of laying on the place markets, is that the odds are always much lower than the outright win odds so your lay liabilities are much lower. Trading On The Place Markets As the place market prices are much lower than the outright win market prices, they also offer a great place to learn the skill of TRADING without much risk to your balance! Betting Exchange trading is simply the process of betting on price movements for guaranteed profits. E.g. Back a horse at 4.0 and then Lay it later at 3.0 for a no risk bet or guaranteed profit regardless of the outcome! Betting exchange trading will be covered in detail in a future betting article. Summary Place markets should be used as part of your betting armory. They offer you the chance to make money frequently with long winning streaks being very common. This helps to build your confidence as well as your betting bank! Bookie Each Way bets are not always poor bets but in the vast majority of races, the odds are stacked firmly in the favour of the bookmakers. They simply love punters taking EW bets on these races as they know its their bread and butter. A small proportion of races where the market is formed in a certain way do offer the punter very good E/W value but that's for a different day... Well that's it for part 2 of my betting exchange articles. In part 3, I will be explaining the Betting Exchange In-Running markets.

The features that an online casino offers its players are usually more than what are available in any land based casinos. Today, the online casinos have emerged as the most choice able medium emerging as the largest revenue maker of the gambling industry each year.
The reasons that makes online casino gambling the most popular medium of playing selected casino games include:
1.Offering more choices of online betting sites: It is the online casinos that make casino gaming much simpler as possible in terms of selection of particular sites to play. Currently, the internet includes a large number of casino sites than the total number of brick and mortar casinos based worldwide. Thus, you need not have to worry about the distance of finding a good casino.
Finding a good site is just a few clicks away. Additionally, you can always change your site at your own ease. However, one vital thing to consider is to avoid any kind of rogue casino sites. Make your casino online betting an enjoyable one ensuring the sites that are recognized and do not cheat the player's money.
2.Convenient and easy withdrawal and deposit alternatives: The online sites offer a range of different banking options to help players in making their withdrawals and deposit. Most online betting sites accept major credit cards like Master and Visa for both withdrawal and deposit purpose. The use of wire transfer of money from the casino account to your banking account is safe and convenient ensuring a secure play each time. Additionally, you can also select to use other e-wallet options like that of Neteller, Entropay, Click2 pay, Money bookers, My Citadel to transfer the money to or from your own casino account.
3.Promotions and Bonuses to be won online: The bonuses and promotions also form to be an attractive option for casino online betting. You will never find these options in any brick and mortar casino.

With these freebies, you will be able to increase your bankroll at ease. In addition, you can also make use of this kind of free money to increase your cash using them in your further bets.
4.Distance does not matter in the present date: With the inclusion of the internet casinos, there is no need to travel to a faraway casino.

It enables people who reside in a far away place to sit and enjoy their favorite games online while playing from the comforts of their home or office.
5.Play anytime from anywhere: Continuing with the fourth point, the casino online betting includes one basic advantage that is it makes gambling more easier including the opportunity of playing from anywhere and at anytime. Wherever you may be, you can just connect your pc online and get started with your favorite games.

Just before she left Namrita, my sister got
henna (tattoos) on her hands.
It is a rare thing in the state where she lives,
so it was a special thing to 'take ' back from home.
This is real henna paste.
Its leaves a red / orange mark.
Many women dye their hair with henna.
It is a very good hair conditioner when mixed with
egg white and lemon juice.
You can add methi (fenugreek) paste to it .
I have also used it many times.
Henna has an over all cooling effect on the skin.
Its good for the summer.
Henna tattoos fade after a few days but
there is an engraving that can never fade away.
The names of God 's children
engraved on His hands.

I am playing the free trial version, and on the first try my family had triplets.
I was so surprised. She looks kinda funny, holding three babies instead of one.
I had read somewhere that you had to be farther in the game, but now I think it doesn't matter. She was the original player I picked out at the beginning.
I have version 1.00.00 and was just wondering if the store is ever supposed to refresh. Every morning it has new stuff in it but other than that it stays the same all day.
I tried the whole hit the R key thing but nothing happened.
Oh and just one more thing. Is it normal for a man without a beard to grow one when he gets older? But its weird because whenever he's asleep the beard disappears. I'm pretty sure it's a glitch -but is it a common glitch?
Ok Well 1. I got a family With Definitly (Woman) and Maybe (Man) but they won't have triplets.
2. There is a trike in the garage how do I use it?
3. My kids won't play outside or dig a hole to china
4. Theres a ghost from Aly walking around I had her 9 generations ago and she puts garbage and socks on the floor and when my people see her sometines they will die other times they will get very sick. What do I do!!!
5. I had a green hair and black hair and i got a white hair, a bald, an orange and a violet haired kids
I am playing both the free and paid version on the iPad. The paid only let's me play one family at a time. Is anyone else on the iPad? Am I just missing something?
Also, my couple adopted a baby late in life and the next morning they died :(
She walked around "jealous of the new baby". Is that odd? I started the next generation right away because I was afraid she wouldn't make it not being able to cook. At what age can children cook?
Virtual Families is fun.
Although, the husband, Jake, has hiccups. I can't find no medicine to help him.
Also, I really want the wife, Olivia, to have a baby but it either says, "They don't agree to have a baby" , "They're too hungry to have a baby" or even "They're not feeling well to have a baby" . That's why i need the hiccups cure.
Oh, and I also want to know how come they're not ready to have a baby, sometimes they were fed, cleaned, and felt well, but they still don't.
Someone please help me! I'm addicted to this game, thanks!
I'm now on my 16th generation of the same family. I have completed almost all the trophies. All I have left to complete is marrying someone with the same career. And curing someone who has a serious virus. I love the game and will miss it after i complete the end. I have done every upgrade and mastered every career. I've had 6 kids including triplets. I wish there was more to do. I have 87,000 dollars in the bank and want to spend it.
Haven't commented in a while so:
Casey- you should be able to buy a kit from the shop then put it next to the bucket that is next to the sandpit drop a person on it and they should carry the bucket to the wall and fix it.
Sarah- it can't be the trail version you can only have one child on it :)
Jmidge1207- wow well observed. I find coins on all the paths though and insects for me appear anywhere around the edges or close to the house. The twigs leaves and photos always appear in the places you said.
Venus- it's never happened to me but I have heard people say they can get remarried however the children from your old marriage still count towards your maximum six so if you had six children and they all died then the parent got remarried they wouldn't be able to get more money
Chirres- 1. Sorry this answer probably gets annoying but wait it will happen sometimes. Energy drinks sometimes help or perfume but they'd not definite way to have triplets.
2. I don't think you can
3. Play out side how? But generally keep picking them up and dropping them until you get the action you want them to do, as everyone you move them they will change what there doing.
4. Oh that's horrid. How did she die. I'm afraid I'm not going to be much very helpful on this question as I have never had a ghost stay around after the person dies. Is they Anyway to make sure they do?
5. Wow some weird hair colours sometimes it's just random.
To all iPad/iPod players I've has the game for a while and have never managed to find a way to get Multiple families. I'm not sure they is a way, other then that everything is the same
Nikki- yep they can
Allie- give him candy or get a house upgrade basically after that he should be fine.
Andrea - read the walkthrough.
Laura- I don't find it gets boring sell your collections and start collecting again events like earthquakes make sure theta always things to do.
Sorry for droning on with answers I think I answered all unanswered ones.x
People keep on asking how do I do this, how do i do that? READ THE WALKTHROUGH! It tels you everything there! knob to the shed is in the sandbox. Key to the knob is on the welcome mat! Fire extinguisher is in the shed! To fix sink, wrench is in the red toolbox, in workroom. drop your person on it after seeing the leak! between the iron and the closet in the laundry room is a little bucket! Something is in there to fix shower! duct tape is in store, will fix hose. Someone spouse must use water wile other one is fixing hose! Need water pressure! If you read the walkthrough it tells you everything! Got it?
Okay, I have a question. Daylight savings time just happened so my clocks all gained an hour. When I turned on VF, all three families were sick, exhausted, and the houses were a mess! I had just played them the day before, so I know it wasn't because I ignored them. Was it just because of the hour adding on?
Hey guys! I just got this game and i am soo glad that this walkthrough was created or else i probably couldnt do much. However, i did feel guilty that i didnt contribute my knowledge to this soooo... i now have one piece of information that i know of the jobs. The final salary for a dress designer is 420. i guess its a lot of money. i dunno. goodbyee and thanks!
About the age 65 thing, my first person died at 64 (ugh, I know). The only thing was that his health was pretty low thanks to him being sick all the time since he was a workaholic. I didn't really do anything other than until he was about 35, I only fed him normal food. After that I only fed them organics. The fridge ALWAYS had around 2500 food in it... I don't really know what else I did that could have affected it... If you have any question on whatever I did, ask and I'll see if I remember.
i got the updated version on VF. first id like to praise my favorite family of Brunozo...got 5 kids and they arent even 30 yet! had one, had triplets, then one more. ALL BOYS! hehehe they are all black hair with glasses, except the eldest who takes more after his mom with crazy brown hair/no glasses. dad calls the kids for bed every nite, and have found him 'telling a story' or watching tv with the boys many times. also, id like to mention that in one of my other families, a little boy showed up on our doorstep to be adopted. i adopted him, and my other little boy RAN to his room and started 'HIDING his toys'!!! i was shocked! he took his 'toys' (little yellow boxes with red bows like the presents for celebrating babies) and started putting them under his bed!
im having a problem 'preparing a meal' tho.
say in my big family, one of the boys will be 'starving' so i drop the mom on the stove/fridge/counter but all she will do is 'look for snacks', tried the dad but he will only 'work on career'
my other families wont make ne food either. will they make food when they need it?
Its possible to have triplets people
It worked for me
i was on my second generation, both of the parents were COMPLETELY happy, i made them embrace eachothr and they had triplts ( altho i did also use a baby booster earlier, so try considering one, and use on both partners)
So i think the trick is you have to have both people as happy as possible.
P.s i was using the ipod app not the computer.
Hope that helps/ works
Hey! So I am on my first generation family with four kids and the parents are both about 40. So a Floor Repair Kit came up and I bought it, then I accidentally placed it where it isn't actually on any crack. So now I try to place people on top of it and it's like they don't even see it. It's been sitting there for a while and I was wondering if there is any way that I will actually be able to use it to repair a floor or if it will ever even go away
Hey, I have VF for the Itouch and I was wondering...
Does the cat do anything??
Whenever I try to have a baby, the parents always argue. The woman thinks it would be nice to have children and the man has that too, but they don't agree on having a baby. The woman, Proxy, is 43 and she has two kids (Chaka and Kita) and the man is Gregor and he is 40.
I was also wondering if anyone has had a kid pass away. I would like to hear the story about it. I'm worried because my girl, Chaka, is 10 and I don't want her to become depressed. And the mom has been depressed once and she is depressed easily, so do you think the mom would die? Do you think happy little Chaka is safe?
I have the lite version of this game. When I go to the store I can buy food and nothing else. There is nothing in the section below where I am suppose to be able to buy other items. I am wondering if any others have this problem. Or is this something that you have to have the full version to see? I like the game and would be willing to purchase it but if this part isnt working I don't want to spend the money and it still not work. Any help anyone could give you be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)
I have three different families and cannot get any of them to have a baby. They are happy, sometimes even elated, but always argue that it's not a good time to have a baby or something similar. I chose people who feel they deffinetly want kids or it would be nice to have kids... so you'd think they'd want to!
I let my first family adopt a child that showed up on their doorstep and figured maybe that's what caused them to not be able to have kids. So, I started a new family and still can't get them to have kids.
Any thoughts?
I heard you can make multiple families by making multiple profiles, I only have the full version on my iPhone because i don't have a working computer right now and there are no profiles as far as I can tell. is it possible to have multiple families on the iPhone?
how to speed up time in the game:
to speed up time in the game, simply turn your clock ahead to however far you want and that much time will pass in the game. The shop should refresh every 4 hours.
im on my fourth generation and was going to buy my family the third level of the kitchen (they deserved it :)) i clicked buy...money for the upgrade disapeared but instead of me getting the upgrade i was given a hair bursh looking thing with the number 70 under it :/ ofcourse i tried to.buy the upgrade again then the game took Dubble the money!! please. what is the brush for??none of the members could use it
Hi! I've read what feels like a ton of frequently asked questions but no answer for this: I know where the duster is, she used to do nightstands with it if I dropped her on it. But my bed has huge dust bunnies protruding from beneath. I've dropped the whole family on the duster at least twenty times but no one picks it up!
I've bought the waterproof tape and put it on the hose, but every time I try getting my couple to fix it it says there's too much water pressure. I've tried putting both on it to see if they can work together on it, putting one on the other hose to relieve pressure, and putting one in the shed to see if there's a water shutoff over there. What do I have to do to to relieve the pressure for them to fix it?
Hi guys. If this isn't already posted, as it takes awhile to check every post here, does anyone need help getting the Go-pher it trophy? All you need to do is let your child run around and play, and check what they are doing by pressing them only ONCE. When it says "Playing in the lawn" or something like that referring to the yard or lawn, get your green hand out and click on them, and thus getting you the trophy!! ;)
@Newtothis Yes, buying the full game will resolve this problem, having the lite version you cannot buy anything but groceries.
@JIguest On the bottom of the screen when you are in your families house, press family, then, at the top of that page, you will see a blue button that says New Generation, click that and you will be able to pick one of your children to take over the house!
@Frustrated Fixer Put one of your people in the shower to relieve water pressure and the other on the hose. I suggest pausing the game, putting one on the shower so their action box says taking a shower, and the other on the hose so their box says fixing the hose, then unpause the game, let them finish, and you have fixed the hose!
@Sara yes, that is fine, because the way the game runs all family members will do that!

This recipe was okay. I had some issues with it. First of all, I don't own a food processor, so I just used my blender. Obviously, dry spinach won't blend, so I added the salsa to the blender, but then that just made a puree. When all was said and done, it was more like Mexican lasagna soup. It wasn't disgusting - it's worth trying, and it's a healthy dish. Just make sure you have a food processor. Here's the recipe, straight from CuisineNie.
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves4 scallions, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
10 ounces fresh baby spinach
Nonstick cooking spray
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 (15.5 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup prepared salsa (mild or medium)
8 ounces pepper Jack cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor, combine cilantro, scallions, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with as much spinach as will fit; pulse, adding remaining spinach in batches, until coarsely chopped.
Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Lay 4 tortillas in bottom of dish (they will overlap slightly). Layer with half of beans, salsa, spinach mixture, and cheese; repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with cheese and pressing in gently.
Cover dish with foil; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes; remove foil, and continue baking until golden, 15 to 20 minutes more. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Home Security in Glasgow, Delaware
According to jsu.edu, each year there are over 2.2 million burglaries in the US, which means that every 15 seconds, a burglary is committed
Your Chances of Becoming a Victim of a Burglary in Glasgow, WI
No one likes thinking about potentially becoming a victim of crime in Delaware, but every single day in the US a break-in happens every 4 seconds. It's easy to say "it won't happen to me" but 2.2 million families fall victim of burglaries each year in the US. Don't let your home in Glasgow become part of those statistics. Installing a new home security system and along with monitoring from ADT your home could be protected and your family safer.
Homeowners Insurance
Did you know that ADT Home Security monitoring is so effective that many homeowners insurance providers offer discounts to policyholders with their security systems. By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
ADT 6-Month Money Back Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Delaware Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Delaware residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact the police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button, you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button, your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
Safety Tip of the week: Workplace Safety
There's something about September that makes me want to get organized. Maybe it's the start of the new school year, which I'm still in tune with even though we're empty nesters. I still get a thrill walking past the busy school supplies aisle while at the store, for goodness' sakes!
Whatever it is about this time of year with the golden light and the cooler mornings, I get the urge to tackle projects, wrap up loose ends, and start anew. And that includes thinking about safety and security as the days get shorter, both at home and at work.
While perusing the Internet in search of good workplace safety tips, I came across this handy checklist:
Admittedly, we've done a few blog posts on workplace safety and doing safety audits, like this post on being disaster ready at work and this one on doing a home security review in the fall. But this checklist jumped out at me for three reasons:
It's easy to use! Print it out, work your way through it, and check the items off.
It's applicable to work too!
It's about everyday security.
In the wake of yet another hurricane (hello, Florence), we can get wrapped up in disaster preparedness and thinking about emergency situations. But the reality is we are more likely to get hurt or burgled during a normal day than we are to find ourselves caught in a natural disaster situation. And that's why a simple safety audit like this one is a good way to go, to take steps to increase safety and security at all times.
If you own a business or work offsite at one, take a look at this checklist and consider printing it out, doing a walk-through, and fixing some of those little issues that put you at risk.
If you want to do a more thorough job and address disaster preparedness too, you can find a much more detailed workplace safety checklist offered by the Nonprofit Risk Management Center. There you'll also find hundreds of checklists, forms, job descriptions and other resources, all focused on workplace safety.

It's no Google, but in the absence of Google's stats, it'll have to do: according to Yahoo!, the Wii, 360, PSP and even PS3 were amongst the 10 most-searched for technology items for 2008.
Impressive, yes, but also slightly misleading. See, by limiting it to "technology", we get a doctored playing field. What would be really impressive would be if a game or console made the overall top 10. A game like, say, Runescape.
Yeah, Runescape. Yahoo! say it was the fifth most-searched word on their search engine for the year. Ahead of WoW, ahead of Eve Online, ahead of, well, all but four other words/terms in existence. That's impressive.
Back on the technology list, here's the top 10:
1. Digital Camera
2. iPhone
3. Wii
4. Xbox 360
6. Blackberry
7. Skype
9. iPod
10. Garmin

A Sandwich a Day: Fried Oyster Roll at Fatty 'Cue
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Fans of Zak Pelaccio's Fatty 'Cue will be pleased to know that the restaurant's West Village outpost has begun offering lunch, available Monday through Friday from noon to 3:30 pm. It's no ordinary lunch menu: dishes range from hearty salads to gut-busting sandwiches to mains like pork ribs and tripe.
We were psyched to try the Fried Oyster Roll ($13), which comes "top loaded" on a folded buttery slice of Texas toast. On a bed of garlicky cabbage kimchee you'll find a generous portion of tender fried oysters sporting a light crust, as well as some sliced cucumber and cilantro leaves to keep everything bright and refreshing. At $13, this lands slightly above our usual budget for daily sandwiches, but the perfectly crisp, grease-free potato chips that come on the side (portion larger than pictured) more than make up for the roll's hefty price tag.

About Bamboo
Bamboo floors' popularity has increased over the past few years as people have become more aware of the fragile state of the environment. Because it is a grass rather than a wood, it grows far more quickly than a tree. The plant's extensive root system continually grows underground and it replenishes itself naturally, as grass does. New growth, which springs out of the ground and can mature up to 24" in 24 hours and unlike trees, bamboo will regenerate quickly, making it a renewable resource.
Twice as hard as oak, strand bamboo is an optimal choice for busy homes when durability is needed to stand up to the wear and tear of family foot traffic, active kids and even pets. To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.

« Assessment Group Cuts Back Diagnostic, Formative Work | Main | STEM Teacher Fellowship Program Grows With New Jersey Plans »
NEA, AFT Partner To Build Common-Core Tools
The two national teachers' unions have won $11 million to build an online warehouse of instructional tools for the Common Core State Standards. Student Achievement Partners, whose founders led the writing of the standards, is also a grantee. It will work with the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association and their teachers to build the tools and post them on Student Achievement Partners' website.
Announced today, the three-year project joins many similar efforts focused on the common standards, which are being implemented now in 46 states and the District of Columbia. One of the recent higher-profile cases in point is ShareMyLesson.com, an online instructional-tools portal being built by the AFT.
The grant came from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, which is supported by New York City hotel magnate Leona Helmsley. The 13-year-old philanthropy is seeking to expand its work in education, noting on its website that its education program area "is in transition and is now funding programs of national significance in K-12 and higher education." A search of its education grants since 2000 shows only a few over $1 million, so the $11 million award to SAP, NEA and AFT represents a major investment in that area for the trust.
Rich McKeon, Helmsley's education program director, said in a press release that the philanthropy "applauds the critical role of teachers and their unions in the development and adoption of Common Core State Standards in dozens of states across the nation," and is "delighted" to support the unions and Student Achievement Partners as they develop and deliver the "highest quality" tools to help teachers meet the new standards.
Susan Pimentel, who co-led the writing of the common standards in English/language arts and is leading the ELA work at Student Achievement Partners, told EdWeek that the New York City-based nonprofit would be "the engine room" for the new project, but teachers would be the fuel behind it. It will cover both ELA and math.
SAP will meet regularly with teachers to find out what they need most in the classroom, and come back to them with early versions that can then be reviewed and revised, Pimentel said. Teachers from the two unions will also play a key role by piloting the tools in their classrooms next year, she said. The tools will be available on SAP's website, Achieve The Core, and NEA and AFT websites, she said.
The grantees do not envision designing entire curricula, Pimentel said, but discrete pieces that could be helpful to teachers. Once meetings with AFT and NEA teachers begin, more specific plans can take shape, she said.
But SAP has some early ideas that were sparked by discussions with teachers in the field.
Many teachers have asked for help, Pimentel said, in designing "coherent text sets" to help them get at the standards' expectations for cross-disciplinary learning and cross-text synthesis. Building suggested text sets would involve taking a broad topic, like the human body, and using teachers' input to create lists of texts that could be used together, over several grade levels, to build knowledge about the body while teaching the skills outlined in the standards, she said.
Teachers have also told SAP that they need support with the standards' expectation of building students' academic vocabulary. Building a computer-based way to help teachers identify the academic vocabulary words students need most could be a good target for the grant work, Pimentel said.
