Can we do anything with the big yellow gift boxes they keep putting in the chest at the foot of the bed? Seems they do this whenever a new baby comes.
For everyone who still uses the money/aging cheat, YOU SHOULD NOT MESS WITH YOUR COMPUTER CLOCK! Not only does it mess up your game, but all of your date and time related programs, if you really want money, don't be lazy and just wait for your people to make it!
I am strongly with grinnyp on this :D
I bought the imported candy and the mom got super sick and she threw up and wont stop. What do i do?
Anna -
I just figured out, that the imported candy can be anything from a
baby boost, to a laxitive, to a sleeping pill, and something that makes you sick, (many, many more too)
If they get sick, just buy a doctor consultation, the doctor will know what to do.
I think I posted this, but it was deleted or something, anyways, I found two funny easter egg/cheats, The first:
If one of your little people is reading email, before the screen comes up, give them a (tasty) candy. Their action will be: "Unknown string id!!!"
The second:
If you have a pregnant woman, and a man, have the woman try to repair a floor, keep trying over, and over. Then, while she is shaking her head, pause the game, make the husband fix the floor, and (This does not always work) she will repair it!
I found a kind of funny glitch,
I put someone in the pool while the game was on pause, and they stood on the water!
how long does it take for a year to go by in the game?
What happens when you complet the picture? why the messages of people leaving town (they say theres no room in town) or gettin hurt?
I mean the house has secrets or a certain history or something?
I'm not exactly sure, but I think 1 game year, is
4 hours real time
Ever since the appt can out with an up
date it has been earasing every time I leave and I have to start over
Has anyone been able to get Emily's upgrade (Posted by: Dragonsama | May 19, 2010 8:20 PM) tip to work, and if so, is it only for the pc version, or well it work for Itouch/Iphone...Thanks
hi, there are alot of comments! I just read some of them and i have 2 things i want to share with you guys. About 2 of my families have SOOOO much money! it goes off the bar thing for money. its so cool. I have all the upgrades for kitchen, office, and workshop and the pinball machine and all the rest. now all my little people dont need to work! All I did was get one of my generations to have one kid and then make them work work work untill they finnally passed away. I fed them and stuff but when they worked i praised them so much all they did was work no breaks or anything. So ya, that how i did it. Also a strange thing happened. One of my people was lying in his bed waving to me and i clicked on him and dragged him and he lived. he stopped dying! It was really weird! Okay I write wayyyy to much! Thanks for reading my comment!
Do you know if there's a limit to marriage proposals? I got 3, but all of them said "no way" to kids, so I refused them. Now I don't know if I'll get any more. It's definitely affecting Sophesse's mood. Help?
And by the way, in regard to the game, I actually like being able to focus on the one person. It adds something the VV games didn't have, though those are great too. It may seem kind of like a bad version of Sims, but it's kind of a Virtual Villagers version. Does that make sense?
hiyas people!!
my peeps are soooo cute!! i have the i phone version witch is good...well people doing the i phone version, im sorry to say that you cannot have multiple accounts and you cant do photos of it and put it on hear. boo hoo! but it is chap(2.50).also cannot change name. im on my 3rd gen and i hate that my fam are red heads! i think ill chose bitmap cause she has nice clothes and vr cute! my other kid cursor, is ugly as! and original- bengur is married to the first pretty wife!(fraina)so cute when they play train! you know how the lady usualy does the laundry?? bengur does it! why when they make akid their heads spin?? weird.the dogs sitting on my child:o
so sorry for being long.great game 9/10
JIGuest: I was able to get it working. However, due to being poor, I can only confirm the PC version. XD Do note though, however much money you have before you do it [Not tested with any amount greater than $1000] your money WILL BE GONE.
Yes, it has worked for me numerous times. It gave one of my families EVERY upgrade/household item there is.
Look here for how to make money with this cheat:
Buy as many baby boosts as you can, (Using the cheat) and then sell them, and repeat if you like. Since they're 500$ each, you can get rich quick. I've made oodles of cash with it :)
Hope it helps you make money without using the computer clock
Zayex :]
Sorry if i have asked this before, i just can't find the questions i asked. Ok, so how long does it take for the mother to stop nursing the baby? It had been about an hour for me.
Here is how to keep ur family from death:
When they are on the bed waving, or lieing down, pause the game with the space bar. Next while the game is paused, drag the people off the bed! And then they will be alive again! MWAHAHAHA... sorry.
As far as i know, there are no limits to marrige proposals. And if they still keep saying "No Way" they could still have kids. I'ts just less likely. I have 4 generations and 2 out of the four couples were "No way" And they had twins! I hope that helps!
- Virtual villager lover
When you download the app it doesn't save. Ever. So, if you want to save it you should buy it or play free with iwin, bigfish games, or other.
Pam, zayex, or anyone else, HELP! Ok, so i created a new family, and they both have "Defenitly" for kids. Also they are Eleated. But every time i put them together they argue! One time they tried for a baby but didn't get one! How come?
Virtual Villager Lover-
People always argue, and sometimes women just don't have kids, it can take time, if they don't have a kid by their 3rd try, give the woman some baby boost. Sometimes if you give the woman a doctor consultation it will say that you may need some baby boost if you want kids
Zayex :)
Virtual Villager Lover-
Just keep dropping them on eachother until you hear the kissing sounds.
Can someone PLEASE help me. This one family i have isn't doing very well. They have 4 kids and are weak, extremely weak, and starving. When i drag the dad over to the fridge, stove, or kichen bench, he never makes dinner, he just looks for snacks! Same with the mom. Why won't they make dinner? The kids are going to die!
P.S. the fridge had 687 food.
Virtual Villager Lover -
687 food won't make them starve, but you will need to buy more food, I suggest using the cheat,
Where you click the item you want, but cant afford (Baby boost) and click ok, then bring it up again, and Alt F4 the game
once you go back into the game, you should have it (Baby boost) then just sell it, 500 easy cash. And about the "very weak" problem, you just need to give them some candy or fruit, and make them happier is all. Also give them energy drinks
Zayex :)
Does anyone know if there is a level that one has to get to before certain collectibles appear? I played 3 generations and got to 92 trophies..... but I never see any insect collectibles (I completed the photo, coins and twigs)....but my bugs don't show (does that Weed Bomb have RAID in it?)
how do you get the waterproof tape and the floor repair kit?
my store doesn't have them, and hasn't so far. i'm at the end of my 3rd generation :/
Same question as Mel. My peeps keep asking me to fix the house, but the store doesn't have the supplies. And how much do they cost when they do show up? I don't want to buy a bunch of other stuff only to find I can't afford hose tape and floor repair kits when/if they do ever show up in the store. I feel like I am waiting for a seasonal item at Costco!
Tape and floor kits are cheap...grab them right away, no matter how little cash you have (unless you're starving) they will show up....even if it takes afew generations. One thing you can do is buy the other stuff, to leave blanks at the store...then after a couple of hours, it is replaced
I have virtual families for my iPod and it keeps crashing and I have to keep starting over! I love this game but can somebody please help me !!!!!
Thanks !
I have a problem. I've played before so I've found the door knob, but I started a new family and it's not there!! Is it just a glitch or can I fix the door some other way?
Katie...maybe the doorknob is already in. Did you try to find the key under the mat?
I was just wondering about another cheat I saw on two sites when I googled "virtual villages + bushes" and apparently there's a cheat where you can move items from one family to another.
I know this would be very VERY helpful for thoose who have zero patience and want items from the shop to refresh sooner.
The sites say if you move to the left bottom corner of the screen and click about the blue box (where your character face would be) then everything moves without clicking and draging, then you can drag items into the bushes go onto another family and drag them out! Sorry this is so long but if anyone knows about this please help because I cant find the spot their talking about, try it and see if it works for you, if it does SHARE!!
Does anybody know if collectibles appear anywhere other than on the grass? I have been playing generation after generation.....and I only need a few more trophies to pass the game.....those mainly being having to find butterflies and moths. Do they appear elsewhere? Are they smaller? I have over $200,000 in the bank.....you'd think that i should be able to buy them on-line!
this is cool!
I have a major problem. I can't seem to get my new person married. The parents died, so I went to start a new family. They still aren't married. I've tried 7 times. they reach age 50, so I try again. What in the world is going on? I almost have all the collections, and I have 88/100 trophies. I don't want to start all over again. I have over $800,000 in the bank. I need help! lol
I have this game on my Iphone. The doorknob to the shed is not in the sandbox and the oven is on fire. What can I do?
Does anybody know what the baby boost cheat is?? I have looked EVERYWHERE!
I have the iPhone app, and have had it for over a year. The first time I played it I found a cat, and then at school, somebody played it, and restarted it. (I was mad because I was really far) And now I can't find the cat anymore, I keep touching where I thought I found it the last time, (which was a total accident) and I can't find it at all! I had origianly found it when I touched near the front porch. Does anybody know where to find it? Can I get a screen shot of where to find it??
My kid is now 19 and still isnt going to college. Can someone please help?
Maybe you should put your 19 yr old at the little desk in his bedroom and have him do his homework & study (praise him)
A cat that's found?! All I've ever seen is that you are allowed to buy a cat, dog or a turtle.
When they first get married u should try to make them have a baby . It usually works
Is there a cheat that cleans up the house fast? I know that a maid comes once and a while and u can have her clean your house.
I have heard that one is found on the porch, i think it may of been the butterfly. I do not know if this is true.
i have no idea how to put an oven out, please help me (:
In the shed there are fire extinguishers and u have the adults/adult go and get it and have them put the fire out.
Hope this helps. :D
my wife and 2 kids died (woops!) and now i only have my husband left.
will i have to start the game over when he dies? i have lots of house upgrades, trophies and collectibles so i really don't want to start over, but theres no one to leave the house to :(
He may get another proposel or something. GOOD LUCK!
Thanks Jana... my hand is getting dizzy, circling the house searching! I'm at 95 trophies, the insect collection is a problem as well as winning a lottery and marrying someone with the same career. I'm hoping that after earning over$1M, the program gets a bit more generous.
How do you win the lottery?
Ok so I have found the doorknob before but now that I have started a new game I can't find it. I have tried everything and it is not there. What do I do.
I can't find the doorknob and I have found it before. And it's not in the door already because I have tried to get the key but it just says that they are confussed
To win the lottery, you have to wait for the program to notify you.......by e-mail or by an announcement when you turn on the game. You don't actually go out and buy a ticket.
Sam, that doorknob problem seems to be a re-occurring complaint from players with the hand-held versions. It's supposed to be in the sandbox.
Thank you Bradis! I was looking for a ticket in the store and wondered why they'd never show up.
Anyway I have another question! How do you make a fire in the oven? It happened a couple of times already that there was a fire in the laundry room, but never in the kitchen. In also tried to make the dad cook and then stopped him halfway, but the oven won't start a fire!
Oh and anyway, I don't know if it's already somewhere but I've discovered that if you click a bit up "Detail" button, some hints pop up. It's a little spot over the "e" of detail.
In the second generation the shed doorknob is not in the sand box. Please help me find it.
Apdog x
How do I make my people extremely weak or tired?
How do you fix the Kitchen sink???
Gingeranna....I'm probably too late telling you about the oven fire....'cause it's probably happened to you by now! The program starts the fire automatically (like the laundry's lint fire), it's nothing you can control.....you just have to wait for it to happen....... like I'm still waiting for a @#!@*%ing butterfly to appear!
asiA.... why would you want people 'weak or tired'? (If it's for the infection cure trophy, that's not the way). They get weak and tired if they're not fed or you have a messy house
Emma.... use the tools in the workshop. There is also a plunger in the laundry room. Just click a person on them
Energy Levels
When your little person is exhausted they may take naps on their own or go to bed, and although you will put them to bed they will only do so for 5 to 10 minutes, like previously stated you can buy energy drinks. But if you cant get energy drinks you will have to let they game play on for 6 to 8 hours since the game runs on real time. The only way it will work is if you have turned your game off not while it is still up and running. Do not pause and make sure you have plenty of food
If you drop a parent on a small child this will tickle the child and the child will giggle. When you buy the story books from the store give them to the parent or an older sibling. Then drop the parent on one of the younger children(this might take more than one click)until it says telling a story. The younger child or children will run to the living room and sit on the floor to listen to the story. p.s.this must be a glitch. If the parent tries to tickle a child of the opposit sex after he turns 18,this will result in an embrace and they will procede to try to make a baby. If the parent tries to tickle the same sex at 18, the parent and child will argue.
I have read a few posts about the pets. A lot of people were dissappointed that you can not interact with them. I have also noticed you can not directly interact with pets however on one of my files I have a single woman and she has a cat. I have noticed that the cat will follow her for example if she is in in the kitchen preparing a meal the cat will walk next to her wherever she goes and when she stops moving the cat sits next to her feet. Also when she is working (she works in the office) the cat will sit next to her feet as she works and follow her to the bookcase and back. Do all the pets do this or just the cat?
thank you! I have 5 families going on (5 different "players") and in none there has been a fire in the kitchen nor a winning lottery ticket! I'm SO lucky hahaha!
But I'm missing a lot of collectibles (mostly bugs) and also the "matching career" trophy, so I still have a lot to play.
The dog is very much more like a realistic dog; it will beg while you eat, jump up on your lap while you are napping, follow you around.....I've even seen it jump on the bed during the 'rose petal fest'. My dog must be about 2,000 years old by now (I have been going through generation after generation trying to get the last 4 trophies......there have been 3 collectible bugs that I've never seen, even on 3 different profiles after dozens of generations. One generation has almost $3 million. Also, I'm still waiting to win a lottery.)
It says my players are exhausted...any tips?
how do you fix the cracks in the wood? HELP!
Some people came and took my child to Europe saying she had talent and i want to know if she will ever come back because it's been long
Hayden -
There are occasionally energy drinks in the store which can boost exhaustion. If those are not available you need to put your people down for a nap or to sleep. Once they go to sleep, quit out of the game for a couple of hours. If you stay in the game they won't stay asleep long enough.
Jess -
I presume you are talking about the cracks in the floor? There is a floor repair kit that randomly shows up in the market, you need to buy one when it comes up, then use it on one of the cracks. Once the floor repair kit is down keep dropping your people on the crack until the crack is repaired and the kit is gone.
Bella -
If your child goes to Europe (or Japan), they will not be coming back until the parents die, then you will see them as possible next generations.
does anyone know how long does a peep take to go to age 60? i have th lite version on my ipodtouch...
oh and here is a tip for when ur store doesnt restock
press the letter R and no this is not a cheat code.. this only works if the store doesn't restock within 4 hours..
I not sure about the ipod version but my adotpees husband is 60 now they married when he was 28 & she was 27. For me it was about 6 real days. Every two real time hours is one year for the family.
You can get a million dollars quickly by fowarding the time on your computer, up to about 10 years! I got 4million actually for doing this. Your house is going to be a mess though and the people are most likely going to be very sick and miserable because it's going to seem like you have not checked on them in 10 years but you can nurse them back to health. I suppose it is up to you though if you want to take the risk.
what does it mean when someone is groaning?
i need help: How can i make the baby grow faster? PLEASE ANSWER
The game has it's own time-flow....if you actually need the kid grown quickly, then exit the game and change your computer clock to the future; experiment...6 hours may equal 1 year. Restart the game
How do I fix the cracks in the floor, there really getting on my nerves tbh!
Please write back soon....in other words I am desperate as I do love this game :D
Thanks much,
Help the door knob to the shed is not in the sand box or on the shed door. What do I do?
How do you get more varied items in stock because I have 279,972,000.00 dollars (no money cheat)and I have bought everything possible. (I even have a turtle) Various items can baught. I have bought 22 babyboosts and still counting. I also want more kids!
sincerely in need of help
Flapjack (this is actually my real name!!!)
Trust me you don not need to mess with the time to get the money for things!! I am about to start my 3rd generation now and I have bought all home improvements, repaired everything, and upgraded every career room!
Messing with the time is bad for your "little friends" as sasha said "Your house is going to be a mess...the people are most likely going to be very sick and miserable because it's going to seem like you have not checked on them"
Above, if you go to "Holes in the Floor" under "Repairs and Household" it says:
"1. Purchase floor repair kit in the store (good for only one repair each).
2. Click it beside one of the holes in the floor.
3. Drop an adult on the hole to begin repairs.
4. Note: This is a long-term project and takes awhile to complete."...So you pretty much have to wait for kits in the in total you will need 3 though I have heard that earthquakes can happen and cause cracks.
Once when I was playing virtual villagers I accidentally made a person drop a pot or something and it disappeared. It reappeared where they picked it up from after I closed and reopened the game. If that is not the problem, are you sure you know what it looks like/what you're looking for?
flapjack whichsand-
You can restock that section by pressing R but that only works if the section has not restocked in the last 4 hours like it is supposed to. If you use more then one baby boost on a single person it can have the reverse effect and make it harder or even impossible for them to have more kids.
I was wondering how do they practice kung fu? I cant get them to do it..
They tend to do it when they have a lot of energy. Try giving someone without low energy an energy drink and it will say "Hyper!". Then you can just pick them up and drop them over and over again until their status says "Practicing Kung Fu".
I'm having trouble with my varied items section in my store regenerating. It has had the same stuff in there for about 3 days now. I'm not able to do anything because new items will not show up.
What do I do if there is like a brown cloud following my person?
Chelsea Kelly-
Open the store and press 'R'
I'm not sure. I've never seen this. Try making them shower or wash their hair in the bathroom or something.
Messing with time at least keeps me doing something.... I have 95 trophies (still waiting for a lottery win, a mate with the same career and a couple of bugs. I have over $17 million of 'uncheated' earnings. I started 2 other profiles and I am waiting on the same things...the time thing actually speeds up getting your sock, weed, wrapper and spots trophies..... as well as getting someone sick in order to cure them (for 2 more trophies). It can get pretty boring waiting for a rare bug to show up.
Hi everybody!
I have a big problem with my little family! After 30 generations I can't adopt one of the children. And on the top of the family tree still remain the new generation button. How can I do?
I'm sorry for the bad English.
Thanks a lot!
I am stuck the parents died and I hit new generation picked my person and the parents stats wont go away and my person is not getting any marriage stuff what can I do so I do not have to start over
Why don't you try starving the parents so they die and then their stats will go away? (You will have to feed the kid bananas, oranges, etc.)
I already have a new person.. The parents stats will not go away so the new person is now 40 and nothing on marriage has come his way.. Is their a limit as to how many generations you can have?
There is no limit to generations. the parents' stats won't go away still? Weird. They are dead? Hmmm....you've only got 10 years to reproduce (what an ugly thought in real life!), so, you either have to hope for an adoption, or kill off the parents' stats to initiate a proposal letter.
(I just had a case where a single dad had an adopted girl. He died before she went to college, and afterwards, e-mails came up for her with female proposals!! So, the software is not without fault)
nnee -
What happens when you try to adopt? It sounds like you may have a bug in the game. You should contact the technical support department of the vendor where you purchased the game, they may have a fix.
Tina -
This sounds like a technical glitch. You should contact the vendor where you purchased the game and see if they have a fix.
I did contact them heard nothing back as of yet. I am really frustaed as I am so far with this one I only need 3 more trophys
I'm curious....what 3 trophies do you need? (I'm still looking for 2 bugs....are they always on the grass?). Also, I need a lotto win and a mate with the same career. Any tips?
hey im just having a problem with going into the game whenever i click into it it goes but when it comes to the loading screen where they give the tip and what not once its finished loading the game just closes please help fast i need to check me familie
Okay I don't know if anyone has already posted this but having twins or triplets is not random!!!
Remember the tip the more in common a couple has the more likely they will have children? Well that's the secret. The parents both have to want kids definitely and have similar careers. (Working in the same area) The best is to have excatly the same job.
Oh and when it's not working the first time remember the task-manager trick and try it a few times! All my five families had triplets.
Good Luck!
....but how can you get them with the same job? ....That is one of the 3 trophies I can't get; there are over 50 careers and the odds of getting the same one on a marriage proposal are against you heavily. I have 3 families with the same problem.....over $70 million in earnings. (A Lotto win is difficult as well)
Yea thats true, the time cheat can help for the cleaning trophies and others but I hope people don't think it's needed to earn enough money for the family to survive. When it comes to bugs, you have to be there to collect so if you speed up time won't that make you miss some of the collectibles.
Both parents don't have to definitely want kids it's probably a better chance for triples of they do though. For the generation that had triples the mom said no way to kids and I don't remember for sure but I'm pretty sure the dad wasn't a definitely on kids. I've been keeping track of the kids who i adopted and pass the home on to (age, career, desire for kids, and salary) but not the spouses (till now).
I always use the "Virtual Families Careers and Salaries" list to help me decide on which child to adopt.
On the spreadsheet the starting salary is blank/unknown so I thought I'd post it so it could be added for of the careers. One of my possible adoptees is a Beginner English Tutor and the beginning salary is 45.
My little people just won't have babies! They both said they want to, but whenever I drag one onto of the other they just embrace and don't make a baby. Does anyone have any advice. Thanks.

In the world of social media, we have shares, likes, tweets and +1s. The latter is used on Google's social network, Google+.

Even though Google+ lags slightly behind Twitter and Facebook in terms of users, it is gaining in popularity. I still prefer other social networks, but remain optimistic about Google+'s future.

SME's in particular struggle to manage both, because, they do not have the luxury of a plethora of resources available at their disposal. So, in their dogged quest of revenue generation and...

JD Admissions
Application deadline extended to April 15, 2013
June 10, 2013 LSAT accepted for Fall 2013 admission
Due to severe weather conditions, a large portion of the United States faced a significant number of cancellations and subsequent re-scheduling of the February LSAT. As a result, a number of a number of potential applicants were unable to sit for the rescheduled LSAT. Therefore, the Law School has decided to extend the last acceptable LSAT administration date to include the June 10, 2013 test. Any applicant wishing to apply with June test scores should submit all other application materials needed to complete the file by April 15, 2013. Additionally, June test takers should send an email to the Admissions Office at firstname.lastname@example.com indicating that the file should be held for review pending receipt of the June LSAT score.
The University of Connecticut School of Law, one of the leading public law schools in the United States, provides a comprehensive and progressive education in which students are exposed to both theoretical and practical aspects of the legal profession. The course of study reflects the diversity and intellectual ambition of the students and faculty. The Law School prides itself on a high level of civil discourse. The environment is collegial, and the unusually low student-to-teacher ratio engenders a collegial environment and assures close contact with some of the nation's leading legal practitioners and scholars.
The Law School's beautiful 21-acre campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, and has been augmented with high tech classrooms and a majestic modern library. Equally inviting is the campus' surrounding area, the splendidly historic West End of Hartford. Beautiful and architecturally significant homes abound, many of which provide living accommodations for students. This neighborhood of quiet grandeur is merely part of a vibrant metropolitan area rich in tradition that offers widely varied dining and entertainment choices, and serves as home, merely 10 minutes from campus, to the state legislature, the Governor and the state Supreme Court.

Step 1: Obvious and Not So Obvious
My first way can be somewhat expensive, but very effective GASOLINE. If you pour some gasoline on ant hills they will quickly die. But money doesn't grow on trees (maybe someday) so the next few steps are much more cost efficient.
Do NOT attempt gasoline method in dry conditions. I am not responsible for what you do.

and we put our dog food in the garage, which is attacting the ants. Ive tried spraying our dog scent-thing-i-ma-bob and i guess we were blinding them.
I'm a panzee
I sprayed with dog scent-thing-i-ma-bob
pour directly on ant (fire ants) and the Co2 will displace the
oxeygen and sufficate them.
Wallgreens sells terro for tiny piss ants inside, place a couple of drops
on a bussiness card, it is a bait.
and Modern wells have a thick pvc, cement, or aluminum covering.
christ kid, lrn2water.
Besides, do you really think the government would allow such a detriment to our health?
1 cup of honey= 2/3 cup of borax
Have a bucket handy filled with something toxic (Window Washer Fluid for me) and take sandfuls of ants with a shovel into it, until your as far as you can into the anthill. take a railroad spike and drive it into the small crater as far as you can, the more holes you make the better, then pour gasoline into each hole, give it 5 minutes, pour in more then set it on fire
Works like a charm =D

June 25, 2010
On June 25, 2010, the New York office issued an Alert Memo entitled "U.S. Supreme Court Limits Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act to Security Transactions Made on Domestic Exchanges or in the United States." On the previous day, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Morrison v. National Australia Bank, No. 08-1191 (June 24, 2010), which answered the question of whether Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 permits cases brought by investors who purchased securities on foreign exchanges. Relying on the text of the Act and the presumption against extraterritoriality, the Court disposed of the nearly four-decade old conduct and effects tests and held that Section 10(b) only reaches "transactions in securities on domestic exchanges, and domestic transactions in other securities."

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Out of the Blue
Return to Treasure Island
Gold: A Fistful of Gold
Fans haven't seen any more official footage from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first chapter of the two-part prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, since the first trailer arrived at the end of last year. However, director-producer-co-writer Peter Jackson has been good about releasing production video on his Facebook page.
Starting where the fifth production video left off, the latest peek into Jackson's The Hobbit continues to show beautiful shots of the New Zealand landscape used for the movie's sets, with commentary from some of the dwarves in the cast — Bifur (William Kircher), Kili (Aidan Turner), Fili (Dean O'Gorman), Ori (Adam Brown), Nori (Jed Brophy), and Dori (Mark Hadlow). The video also has Martin Freeman, dressed as from Bilbo Baggins, and Andy Serkis in his capacity as second unit director. (Serkis also returns as Gollum (in motion-capture) in the movie.)
Don't just sit there, join the conversation! No need to register to comment, just let us know what you think. Have fun, but please keep it clean and stay on topic — inappropriate remarks will be removed.

Description: Here is Sebastian and Marc; these two couldn't wait to get it on. Sebastian is the dominant one with a nice long loin steak, and Marc is the submissive one that has a hot white bubble ass with a diamond-jeweled hole. They immediately start sucking the breath out of each other with every heavy kiss they take. Sebastian starts working on getting Marc's hole ready with his fingers while at the same time Marc is working on the meat to fill that pink hole. Marc starts kissing on Sebastian's chest and quickly makes his mouth swallow Sebastian's thick uncut cock. Their fun gets more interesting when they get to licking each other's tight ass's out. Then Sebastian has Marc just in the right spot and moves from priming Marc's cherry hole to shoving that huge rod of his right in his tight donut. Marc moans loudly, wanting more of Sebastian's throbbing cock inside him. Then Sebastian lets loose and proceeds to put Marc in every position until they both can't hold back any longer. These two hot fraternity studs gush their creamy yogurt together, and it is Marc that gets painted with it all. Sebastian then leans over and licks some of that hot milk off of Marc's body. They end it off with Marc kissing the sweet milk of horniness off of Sebastian's lips.

The 24-year-old, who moved from Glasgow Warriors to Sale Sharks over the summer, is set to start in the final World Cup warm-up match and is determined to impress.
Scotland head coach Andy Robinson is poised to name his final 30-man squad on Monday, with the back row an area where competition is fierce.
"I'll be looking to get my hands on the ball, try and be as dangerous as I can, hopefully break some tackles and get through a few gaps," said Vernon.
"If I can do that hopefully it will put me forward for a place on that plane."
Johnnie Beattie, Ross Rennie and Alasdair Strokosch began the 10-6 win over Ireland a fortnight ago and Vernon was impressed.
He added: "I thought the back row played really well.
"That made it a big challenge this week for me to live up to those heights.
"Hopefully we can play even better this weekend."
Vernon will be joined by Kelly Brown and John Barclay in the back row against Italy.
Brown and Barclay, barring injury, are near certainties to be included in the World Cup squad, while Rennie proved a capable deputy for Barclay at openside flanker.
Vernon, Beattie and Strokosch could be playing for two places, with Robinson also having previously deployed lock Nathan Hines in the back row and youngsters David Denton and Rob Harley likely out of the reckoning.
Like Vernon, Nick De Luca hopes to grasp his opportunity on Saturday.
The Edinburgh centre is out to prove his match-winning intervention in setting up Joe Ansbro's try against Ireland was not a one off.
The 27-year-old said: "I was very happy with my contribution. But I don't want to be a super sub or anything. I want to put in a good performance and try and get on that plane and then a starting jersey.
"I'm desperate to get out there and play in a World Cup.
"I'm confident in my own ability and I need to make sure everybody else notices."
Scotland: R Lamont (Toulon); M Evans (Castres), N De Luca (Edinburgh), G Morrison (Glasgow Warriors), S Danielli (Ulster); D Parks (Cardiff Blues), M Blair (Edinburgh); A Dickinson (Sale Sharks), S Lawson (Gloucester), M Low (Glasgow Warriors), N Hines (Clermont Ferrand), A Kellock (capt, Glasgow Warriors), K Brown (Saracens), R Vernon (Sale Sharks), J Barclay (Glasgow Warriors).
Replacements: D Hall (Glasgow Warriors), E Murray (Newcastle), R Gray (Glasgow Warriors), R Rennie (Edinburgh), C Cusiter (Glasgow Warriors), R Jackson (Glasgow Warriors), N Walker (Ospreys).
Italy: A Masi; T Benvenuti (Benetton Treviso), G Canale (Clermont-Auvergne), Gonzalo Garcia (Benetton Treviso), Mirco Bergamasco (Racing-Metro Paris); L Orquera, F Semenzato (Benetton Treviso); A Lo Cicero (Racing-Metro Paris), L Ghiraldini (Benetton Treviso), M Castrogiovanni (Leicester), CA Del Fava, C Van Zyl (Benetton Treviso), P Derbyshire (Benetton Treviso), R Barbieri (Benetton Treviso), S Parisse (Stade Francais, capt).
Replacements: T D'Apice, L Cittadini (Benetton Treviso), M Bortolami, A Zanni (Benetton Treviso), P Canavosio (Cammi Calvisano), R Bocchino (Estra I Cavalieri Prato), M Pratichetti.

September 6, 2012 Prospect ProfileBrian FlynnEvery year, dozens of prospects are traded. We don't expect much from most of them. This year, the Detroit Tigers made a trade to help their big league club, acquiring Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante for a trio of prospects (the clubs also swapped draft picks). The centerpiece of the prospect package headed to Miami was Jacob Turner, one of the more well-known pitching prospects in the game. Another player in the deal was the athletic catcher Rob Brantly, who had just played in front of a national audience at the Futures Game in Kansas City. The Tigers did give up one more player, but he came with almost zero hype. That was a big lefty named Brian Flynn. Flynn, like last week's Prospect Profile subject, Dylan Bundy, attended Owasso High School in Sperry, Oklahoma. A natural athlete, he played basketball and baseball in high school, but he struggled to maintain his grades during his first two years. Coach Larry Turner decided to keep him in the program anyway. Flynn had yet to succeed in high school baseball, but he had shown some promise on the summer circuit, and before long, his capabilities became obvious. Turner recalled giving a speech to his players prior to Flynn's senior season. The team had lost talented pitchers in consecutive years and needed someone to step up. The day after Turner's speech, he received a note. "Coach, you can count on me," read the note. It was from Flynn. Soon, the southpaw began to believe in himself on the mound. With his confidence came success. He committed to play baseball at Wichita State. Then the Boston Red Sox drafted him in the 18th round of the 2008 draft. Flynn was obviously ecstatic, but he wasn't ready for pro ball. "I needed to mature not just on the field, but off the field," Flynn said. "I was willing to take the risk of going to college and coming out a more complete pitcher and hitting the ground running from there." That's exactly what he's done. The Tigers selected the 6'8" southpaw in the seventh round of the 2011 draft. He signed early enough to make 13 starts in Low-A last year, and his off-season work ethic was enough to land him a spot in High-A to start 2012. Decent strikeout and walk rates as well as advanced feel for pitching and excellent makeup were enough to get him bumped up to Double-A.

Parenting books and blogs are written about this generation of rug rats and how to raise them best. The 1 to 8 year olds of a certain class are probably the most over stimulated people around. These are the kids who grew up absorbing Mozart with dancing hand puppets on Baby Einstein videos, learned numeracy skills and saw Van Gough at age five months. These are the kids who go to Saturday studio for art instruction, Tuesday afternoon for football, equestrian classes, swimming at Beach luxury, tennis lessons at Sindh Club, Math tutoring, piano lessons at CAPA, karate at Gymkhana, rowing at Boat Club. First world lives in third world countries. I am surrounded by a generation of mothers who must provide their child with every opportunity so they may realize their fullest potential, get the 12 A stars at O levels, and go onto to excel in some field. Even their emotional needs must be met. Serving them in parallel is a whole industry of caterers and entertainers, and magicians who eat last.
But these experiences are few and far between. And I am apologetic..
Compared to the jumping castles in manicured lawns, these can be alienating. Real life organizing and road protest politics is not fun in Pakistan. Its not cheery or creative; it does not appeal to young people; nor is it a non hostile space. Organizing in communities takes grit and stamina, as does working on issues of basic survival. Old activists of the Akhtar Hameed Khan And Humza Alavi genre would say - throw them in and let them swim. But that was a stoic generation, perhaps, oblivious to their children's looming insecurity while they engaged in purist politics and no frills activism. It may be a right winger's fantasy, but the title, "Alice Walker's daughter exposes the cruel narcissism of a feminist icon," is a frightening, if exaggerated, prospect. Children remember their emotional happiness, and may recoil from progressive politics if that period is associated with their own personal turmoil.
Our parents, although apolitical, never had time to tap any hidden talent of ours, never had the time to nurture the fluff. Most days were spent in the infinite boredom of youth and powerlessness, and trying to find something to do. A couple of decades of self analysis later, we came out whole. But a nice set of markers would have worked just as well - as would some focused attention on a skill - some reassurance.
But with our children -- if our peculiar neurosis prevents us from throwing them in and allowing them to resurface - what kind of twisted politics would they emerge with the other side of two decades? What chance do you have if you are surrounded by privilege and entitlement, based indirectly upon the systemic oppression of others - and not much questioning or organizing besides the typical. The rich kids learn charity, a form of self appeasement, but not much more. That Earth day must be celebrated, but no reflection how over consumption manifests itself in their own lives. Their lives are spent in activities which would be more normal in the first world, but within the grotesque inequity of Pakistan, seem excessive.
This while their 99% counterparts have little fun.
I have seen children sit through four hour lectures and funeral speeches, and look forward to tea and biscuits. Protected by little, they struggle, experience oppression; in their Eid finest they hear about domestic workers's unions, and clap when an activist goes up to sing Faiz or Jalib. They sit through day long seminars because the air conditioning at the arts council auditorium is a treat in the blistering summer, and so is an extra bottle of Pepsi and a box of spicy biryani, and the bus ride home to Karachi's shifting peripheries. Kids in Sajawal displaced by the floods, their cheeks dry and chapped from the cold, noses caked in snot, responded enthusiastically to art, drew in the colors of their environment, were happy to receive two crayons as keepsake. They traveled on a bus to from Thatta to Karachi, not for a circus or a party, but for a 2 km march demanding land rights.
The point is not to highlight disparities in our society. But this:
How do you raise your child to be ethical amidst an indulgent elite culture and intense deprivation that does not find respite in inspiring or sustained resistance. How can you popularize resistance and make it matter? How do you nurture children and make them political at the same time?
Expose them perhaps to multi class spaces. The zoo, the flower show at sea view, the book fair at Frere hall on Sunday. Expose them to shows that are political minded. Sanya Saeed's storytelling for little children. A few down to earth lessons in gardening and composting inspired by Taufiq Pasha. Membership in the Children's Human Rights Museum. Community building within schools. Building campaigns around issues. Train them to use social media as a tool to promote their campaigns and organizing.
Would these baby steps ever be enough though given how bad the economic imbalance is right now and how strong the current of self indulgence? Are we continually missing the boat? Can it change the tide and salvage them from free market economics and liberal politics -- and before they can say: Why the heck would you want to destroy a Starbucks? How do you teach them that privatization and the IMF are bad; so was the Iraq war and the drone strikes; that providing social security and labor legislation is important. Ultimately they can not just organize in their own private stratosphere. Is the only true choice to actually just give it up and practice your politics. Can you ever be a radical if you can not allow your children to leave the trappings of class.

JAWS (Universal 100th Anniversary series)
A giant great white shark arrives on the shores of a New England beach resort and wreaks havoc with bloody attacks on swimmers until a part-time sheriff teams up with a marine biologist and an old seafarer to hunt the monster down.
Gleaming an brilliant in every way JAWS hits high definition screens across the country! Not only a ground breaking movie, but a movie for all time as the acting, the cinematography and the one-liners we all love come back to us in a shark-filled flood.
Watching this movie, I couldn't help remembering how good this movie really is and how well it has held up through the years. More than a ride, a video game or a merchandising giant; Jaws has become a memory to all and a dailly reminder that under the water lies more than sand.
Grade: A+ Rating: PG
Special Features:
- The Shark is Still Working: The Impact and Legacy of Jaws. This is listed as an "all new" feature length documentary, but Jaws fans will know it actually comes from 2007. This is a fantastic overview not just about the film and its technical challenges, but how the film influenced scores of subsequent filmmakers.
- Jaws: The Restoration: is an in-depth look at the efforts made to restore Jaws, featuring several Universal executives and technicians, as well as Steven Spielberg.
- The Making of Jaws: is another really in-depth (vintage) piece that looks at the nuts and bolts (and animatronic hydraulics) of putting the film together. Spielberg, Peter Benchley and a host of others involved in the production are interviewed.
- From the Set: is a vintage (1974) making of featurette with a very young Steven Spielberg.
- Deleted Scenes and Outtakes
Dr. Seuss The Lorax (DVD & Blu-ray)
A boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.
A fun family movie that falls somewhat flat in some respects. The message is there, but it gets dilluted through comedic animals and events that aren't as funny as they should be. I really wanted more from the creators of Despicable Me. On the bright side, I love Danny DeVito as the voice of The Lorax. And I will always believe that Dr. Seuss is a good idea for a child anytime, no matter my misgiving. And finally, this is an adult perspective, kids in the theater seemed to enjoy the film.
Grade: B- Rating: PG
- Audio Commentary: While the rest of the supplemental package is devoted to the kiddies, director Chris Renaud and co-director Kyle Balda's extensive audio commentary is for mom and dad, dissecting the film's adaptation, story and production on a scene by scene, shot by shot basis. Changes to the original book, capturing the look and tone of a Seuss story, and filling in the gaps of the tale are discussed at length, as is the reasoning behind the use of the characters, the design and animation of the various creatures, the casting of the voice actors, and every theme, plot line, song, twist and turn the film has to offer.
- Mini-Movies: In "Wagon Ho!" a pair of bar-ba-loots hijack the Once-ler's mule-drawn carriage. In "Forces of Nature" a young bar-ba-loot learns to be an honorary lorax. And in "Serenade" two singing bar-ba-loots compete for the affection of a femme-ba-loot. None of the animated shorts are all that amusing, but kids will love 'em, so take that for what it's worth.
- Making of Mini-Movies: This brief trip behind the scenes pokes a stick at the three shorts but provides almost no insight into their development or animation.
Grimm season 1
Grimm tries to scratch and claw its way to Supernatural-sized geekdom but comes up woefully short in almost every regard. The premise is promising -- the monsters of Grimms' Fairy Tales are walking among us, some good, some evil -- and its beast-of-the-week creature-featuring never quite wears out its welcome, even if the somewhat cartoonish creatures look as if they've escaped from the bowels of Hogwarts circa 2001. There just isn't enough meat on the series' bones or enough blood pumping through its veins to sustain a sprawling mythos, much less a 22-episode first season and equally generous 22-episode second season (set to mark its territory on NBC in the coming weeks). Not that five million or so rabid television junkies care. Grimm is the latest in a long line of recent fantasy/horror series that have been gobbled up by insatiable and seemingly instant fanbases, and yet another mediocre genre misfire that's survived the network chopping block while other more deserving shows have been unceremoniously axed.
A fantastic show with many twists and turns to come. I enjoy how the show is shot and the option of the forrest being right on the doorstep, I'm looking forward to new monsters and myths in the next season!
Grade: B+ Rating: TV
- Grimm Guide: An interactive guide to Grimm's monsters and creatures. However, "interactive" should be taken as loosely as possible, as it amounts to clicking through a text-heavy book and playing video clips sans audio and any meaningful insight.
- Deleted and Extended Scenes: A number of deleted scenes are sprinkled across the 5-disc set, most either trivial or inconsequential. Fans may be entranced but most everyone else will continue to shrug their shoulders.
- The World of Grimm : An entry-level overview of the series' characters and mythos.
- Audition Tapes: David Giuntoli, Silas Weir Mitchell, Russell Hornsby, Bitsie Tulloch and Reggie Lee win over the Grimm showrunners.
- Making Monsters: An FX featurette centered around Grimm's beasties.
Virgin Alexander
Alexander is a 26 year-old scrap hauler who has just been given a house by his grandfather. Alexander quickly learns the home is facing foreclosure and he has ten days to come up with $125,000. While on his route brainstorming get rich quick schemes with his co-worker Cliff, Alexander meets Ruby, a college student moonlighting as a prostitute to pay her student loans. The three team up to turn Alexander s house into a brothel. Everything is great except for Alexander s guilt of operating a brothel out of his home, his growing feelings for Ruby, and the incredibly inconvenient fact that he is still a virgin!
Virgin Alexander is a fun film with the sexuality and discourse of American Pie and the heart and awkward nature of Napoleon Dynamite. Rick Faugno's talent shines throughout the film and especially during the closing credits. His cast members all have memorable and character defining moments in the film, while playing to the offhand humor and integral sexuality.
Grade: B+ Rating: Not Rated

The last few days my DD has been only having fruit for breakfast. I'm talking a BIG plate of fruit though - a small banana, four or five strawberries, a wedge of rockmelon/watermelon, half a mango. All chopped up. It's a BIG breakfast.
She's discovered the joy of eating with a fork and pretty much won't use anything else. It's great, because for a while there she started refusing to be fed, but couldn't quite manage a spoon and if she was using her fingers she would just throw things on the floor or mash them into her tray.
She's gone off cereal (Weetbix / porridge) a bit, and isn't really interested in toast anymore either.
I'm just wondering if only fruit for breakfast is enough? She has morning tea, which is usually crackers, and she still has her bottle before her morning sleep. She's growing like a weed and has plenty of energy and is always happy. It's very healthy but I just wonder if she should be having some carbs as well for breakfast? She's 15 months old.
