Land Expansion OverviewBy
After some time the village gets rather crowded with all the Smurfs living and working there, that is why the game offers a few ways to expand the village. Three of this expansion can be bought with Coins; one has to be bought with Smurfberries.
- 1 Mainland Expansions
- 2 Island Expansions
- 3 Mountain Expansions
- 4 Space Expansions
- 5 Expansions Overview and required levels
Mainland Expansions
Land on the right side of the river
As soon as level 5 is reached, Papa Smurfs gives the task to build a small bridge across the river on the right side of the village, once the bridge has been finished (it takes 120 hours) the Smurfs can cross the river so that the land on the right side can be cultivated.
Land expansion to the left side of the river
The second expansion is to the left side of the village, in level 16 the big bridge is unlocked and can be build across the left river, so that the land on the left side can be accessed.
Cliffside expansion
The next free expansion can be gained in level 22 when it unlocks the staircases, after placing them at the cliff top on the far right side of the village the Smurfs can use them to climb up the cliff.
The Beach
The beach section is another free (that is it can be obtained without the use of Smurfberries) land expansion that was added in version 1.1.1 of the app (and slightly modified in version 1.1.2). The beach is located at the far left side of the village and comes with special "summer" items to be placed on the beach (such as bath towels, etc.).
Despite the sand the beach is a normal land expansion, which means it can be used for all items, like the gardens, etc. and not only the beach accessoires
Expansion to the East of the Cliff
The Christmas 2011 version of the game (version 1.1.5 (iOS) and version 1.0.3 (Android)) has added a new free land expansion to the village.
This expansion is free, that means no Smurfberries are required to access the land. The Expansion is to the East of the Cliff Side and increases the space of the whole cliff side. Therefore, to get the expansion access to the cliff is required, that means the stone steps need to be placed at the cliff so the Smurfs can access it.
The Expansion itself is only available from level 26 onwards, before that the land is blocked by a timber and wood. After completing the current tasks from Papa Smurf (like, for example the Christmas quests) Papa will send out 5 Smurfs for 72 hours to search for supplies for Timber's Mill.
Once the Smurfs return, it is possible to upgrade his Mill (by taping on) and Timber can clear the wood preventing you to access the new space.
Paid mainland expansion to the south
There are also expansions that give 25% more land to the, it can be bought in the Smurfberry-Shop for 25 Smurfberries.
As of now Explorer on the Island Update (version 1.6.0 on iOS and 1.4.7.a on Android) the paid expansions can now be bought a total of 6 times. The first four expansions cost 25 Smurfberries each, while the last two cost 50 Smurfberries each.
Island Expansions
The island can be reached via Dreamy Smurfs ship from level 22 onwards. For more information please read out articles about "The Island" or "How to find Dreamy Smurf and How to get to the Island ".
Expansion to the west on the island (dam)
To get an expansion to the west on the island, a dam has to be build on the island to stop the water and make it possible for the smurfs to access that land.
The dam can be build on level 24 and costs 8000 Coins. It takes 168 hours to build. The dam can only be placed at a specific spot. After choosing the dam from the build menu, look for a shadow of it and built it at the exact same spot.
2nd Expansion to the west on the island (Clifftop Expansion)
From level 28 onwards, it is possible to build stone steps on the island's left side to make it so that the smurfs can access the land on top of the cliff.
To build the stone steps, the dam expansion needs to be completed first. After that, and if the required level has been reached, the stone steps come available from the first shop in the build menu.
There are two kinds of stone steps, the big ones, which can only be placed at one certain spot at the top of the cliff, and the small ones, for which there are up to three places (if all south expansions have been bought) where they can be placed. Both versions of the steps cost 10.000 Coins and take 120 hours to build (60 hours if Hefty Smurf is on the mainland).
3rd Expansion to the west on the island (Rope Bridge Expansion)
Mountain Expansions
The Mountains can be reached once the Hot Air Balloon has been placed at level 25.
The Hot Air Balloon, and with it the mountain expansion, is free and does not cost Smurfberries nor Coins. For more information, please read the article about the mountains or the hot air balloon.
1st Mountain Stairs Expansion to the right side
The Smurfette Mountain Update (version 1.3.4 on iOS and 1.2.2a on Android) included an expansion for the mountain.
There are wooden stairs available in the build menu for 500 Coins. They need to be placed on the right side (a shadow indicates where to place them with two available spots where the stairs can be put) and it takes 48 hours (24 hours with Hefty Smurf in the mainland) to complete.
When the stairs have finished building the Smurfs can reach the higher plateau on the mountain. This space also includes the Watchtower, which works like the Old Windmill.
2nd and 3rd Mountain Stairs Expansion to the right side
The Lucky Smurf Island Update (version 1.3.7 on iOS) included a second expansion for the mountains.
Buying wooden stairs and placing them at the edge of the screen on the right side will once again expand the available space. This expansion is available for 500 Coins and it takes 48 hours to build the stairs (24 hours if Hefty Smurf is on the mainland).
With the fourth mountain wonder (Miner's Mining Machine) a 3rd land expansion became available. It is once again realized by placing wooden stairs at the edge of the right side of the screen.
It is now possible to place six wooden stairs in total in the mountains. There are predefined places where to put them (a green shadow of the stairs when placing them will indicate the spots where to put them).
Mountain Winter Expansion (4th Wooden Stairs Expansion)
The Thanksgiving 2013/Nanny Smurf Update (version 1.4.6 on iOS, 1.3.3a on Android) included a fourth cliff top expansion for the mountains.
The wooden stairs from the Structures section in the build menu can once again be placed at the edge of the screen, i.e. the cliff of the third expansion, to get access to a fourth cliff top. This area is now so high up in the mountains, that it is covered in snow.
This snow is, unlike when the mainland is covered with snow during winter, permanent and will not be removed.
This means that there are now a total of eight spots available where it is possible to place the wooden stairs. As usual, the winter expansion also includes a new wonder, the mountain chalet.
5th Mountain Stairs Expansion
The 5th and last mountain stairs expansion was added with the King Smurf update.
It is also a winter expansion, meaning that there will be snow all year long in that area. This expansion contains King Smurf's castle (see the article "King Smurf's Castle" for more information).
The expansion is a bit smaller and has only about 2/3 of the space of the other mountain expansions. It has been confirmed by Beeline that this will be the last mountain expansion.
Paid Mountain Expansions to the South
Just like on the mainland there are also paid expansions available for the mountain area. Each expansion gives about 25% additional space (in relation to the original space, not the already expanded space).
As of the "Explorer on the Island" Update (iOS version 1.6.0. and Android version 1.4.7.a) there are a total of three paid expansions available.
On the mountain each expansion costs 25 Smurfberries.
Space Expansions
The Swoofs Planet is a new area/expansion to the village. It can be reached by building a rocket. The rocket is available from the build menu for 2000 coins and requires the village to be at least on level 22.
As it is already known from reaching the preexisting areas (island and mountain), the spaceship cannot just be build, but there is a series of quests from Papa Smurf that have to be completed first.
Just like the other areas, there are also expansions available on the Swoofs Planet but they work a bit differently then in all of the other areas. They require the completion of a star constellation, a set amount of Swoofs and stardust. To read more about how this kind of land expansions work please see the article "Expanding the available land in space".
There are, however, also "normal" expansions available in space that work similar to the expansions in the other areas.
1st Eastern Space Expansion
The first of these expansions is obtained by placing a metal bridge across the lava river on the right side of the planet. Once the bridge has been build (it takes 48 hours without Hefty Smurfs time reduction) a new area containing the first space wonder will become available.
2nd Eastern Space Expansion
The second expansion to the east of the Swoof Planet that does not require the completion of the constellation was made available with the Baker Smurf Update (iOS Version 1.5.0 and Android version 1.3.5.a) and is obtained by placing a metal or a cookie bridge across the lava river on the right side of the planet. Once the bridge has been build (it takes 48 hours without Hefty Smurfs time reduction) a new area containing the second space wonder, the cake tower, will become available.
3rd Eastern Space Expansion
The third expansion to the east of the Swoof Planet that does not require the completion of the constellation was made available with the Pirate Smurf Update (iOS Version 1.5.1 and Android version 1.3.7.a) and is obtained by placing a metal or a cookie bridge across the lava river on the right side of the planet. Once the bridge has been build (it takes 48 hours without Hefty Smurfs time reduction) a new area containing the third space wonder, the aquarium, will become available.
Expansions Overview and required levels

I would like to expand my main village again but its asking for 50 Berrys and not 25…is this correct?
Yes, it is correct. The 50 berries is the latest amount required if you have come to the latest stage in expanding the village.
Thank you Poet
Hi good afternoon I'm Um Essa, I've been in the end of level 38 and I won't to finish my goal but there is stele ask me to expand space for one time … How can I do it ?
The expansions goals can only be achieved by buying the expansions for 25 (later 50 on he mainland) Smurfberries from the build menu. All the free expansions do not count for the goal.
Thank you…
how do I complete smurfulation boom? Do I have to use smurfberries for extra space??Because I have used bridges, stairs etc and I still have 0/1 in this quest..
Yes, the Smurfutation boom requires players purchase the expansions with SB in order to get credit. The unpaid automatic expansions that come with leveling up are not included.
How do I het the pirate ship and what is the message in a bottle and rafting goals?
How do you get smurfs to swoon?
You have to cimplete papa's quests to get the ship. When you get to the island, you will see how the message in a bottle works. Smurfs swoon when the little heart 8s above Smurfette's head and you tap it when other smurfs are near her.on the island itxworks the same way but with Sassette.
Good noon here at Qatar. Missing my country philippines, since im not in my country, I left my credit card. And I only have Bdo atm card…I want to buy smurfberries to level up my game.Im in level 19, cant buy stuff. The payment method doesn't work I on me. What can I do? Thanks. ..I can't get any credit card because im here for long vacation in foreign country. Can you tell me the other option? Please help thanks. …Please reply
You can buy a gift card, but they are tied to your countries iTunes Account, so you either have to buy a gift code over the internet (for example ebay) for your country or create a new iTunes Account for the country you are in and use that for the purchase of the Smurfberries. You can also try and see if you can get a prepaid credit card or a gift credit card (such as visa gift card), some countries sell them in stores and such
The paid land expansions are advertised as adding 30 % more land at the bottom of the village, but this is simply NOT true.
If we take, as a unit, the size of the smallest static elements (for example the small flowers or the small mushrooms), the initial village has a height of 22 (= the maximum number of these small elements that can be put above each other).
The first update adds a height of 6 units, which is an increase of 28 % size.
The second update adds the *same* height of 6 units, which is an increase of 22 % size.
The third update again adds the *same* height of 6 units, which is an increase of 18 % size.
The fourth update again adds the *same* height of 6 units, which is an increase of 15 % size.
The fifth update (the most expensive on the mainland, for 50 smurfberries!) still adds the *same* height of 6 units, which is an increase of only 13 %!
So in total, after five updates (and spending 150 smurfberries…), instead of having a village that has 3.7 times the size of the original one, the village is only 2.4 times larger than the original one…
Thanks for the calculating but in my opinion you should be happy that Beeline adds more space instead of complaining you should recieve a whole lot more than they say.
Did you really read my comment?
What I explain is precisely that we get a lot *less* than what they say.
They say "adds 30 % more space" to the village, and it's not what you get: you only get *a bit* more space. If your boss tells you that you'll get 30 % more salary if you do something, you probably don't understand "a bit more salary which represents 30 % of the salary I got when I started my first job"…
Actually I did not do the calculations for the first four extensions. The last extension costs 50 sb, so I did a few calculations to understand why it costs so much and to see whether it was really worth the price. I concluded that the price increase was due to the fact that I would get, relatively to the first update, about 3 times more space. And I was disappointed to see that I only got a tiny space.
The price difference was added because it was very hard for the devellopment team to even add more space. I can understand that you're disappointed that the extra space isn't as much as you hoped for but I doubt you can even see your smurfs when your village is 3.7 times larger than the original one 😉
Still false advertising though!
The 30% relates to the original size of the village without any expansions to the south
One can simply move the area they are seeing to see another area. I mean no disrespect but to double the smurfberry cost to 50 is simple greed. Beeline is a business that is not hurting financially. I am all for capitalism but I am no fool. I used to enjoy this game immensely but am sick of the constant glitches and the price increases.
It took a long time before Beeline was able to add more land to the mainland via those two expansions and we were told that because it was so difficult to make it work that is why it is double the price. But I agree with you, its really very expansive, which is why I personally have not yet bought them.
It's better to make another expansion than the "less" more space that you think, and maybe you shouldn't expand more and more if that just adds space a bit.
P.S. That's why you shouldn't waste smurfberries.
Hi I am on Level 43 and Grandpa Smurf has told me to build the stairs for further expansion, but for the life of me, the stairs will not go green when I place them on the right spot so I can never tick to begin the build….what am I doing wrong?
Make sure you don't have anything like crystals or huts against the wall of the mountain. Move everything away from it, and try again. There are two places it will fit.
im level 34 but i dont have island. what shall i do please help me.
Have you been completing Papa Smurf's quests? You may need to contact Beeline via their support portal for help with this issue at http://beeline-i.com/support.php
I want to expand to the left river, but when I bought the bridge, no matter where I put it, it said can not place object. I know this must be a bug because it lets me buy it all the time. It's also not giving me my coins back after I cancel buying the bridge! Help? Thanks
It turns green when you have it in the right place, but it fits in only two places. find the smallest distance across the river. If you still can't get it to work, contact Beeline at http://beeline-i.com/support.php
You may have placed an item too close to the spot the bridge goes. Try moving everything over before placing the bridge.
Buy the long bridge
I am at level 45 and need to upgrade timber smurfs hut inorder to move the logs and expand to the east of the cliff.
When I click on upgrade it says I have to find materials to upgrade.
I have so far not got any quest to find the material. Is there any other way of getting the material that does not involve waiting another 20 levels to get a quest.
I am at level 28, and completed all of Papa Smurf's quests as I can recall. Current quest is to gather resources for the space program, yet my east side is still blocked by the logs, and The Timber Mill upgrade that costs 7500 coins is still locked.
The one critical quest you must complete to upgrade the Timber mill and be able to expand to the east is Papa's quest that sends 5 smurfs out to look for supplies for Timber's mill. The quest lasts 72 hours. If you had completed this quest, you would be able to access the upgrade and east cliff. If you believe you have already completed this quest and are still having issues, please open a ticket with Beeline at http://beeline-i.com/support.php
I am at level 26 and i expand my space but i dont have some goals !!! It's not load
I'm at 26 level and I can't load goal cup. So Could you help me with that?!!
The reward is for those who purchase the paid land expansions, not the ones that come automatically with leveling up.
I don't have a cliff on the mainland! I can't place the stairs to expand! What should I do?
The cliff is to the far right of the village. It doesn't look very much like a cliff, though. It is past where the border of logs used to be on the right.
Hi! I am noticing something on my island – often my smurfs will go down beyond the bottom of the screen where you can't view
Yes, this is a bug of which Beeline is aware. We are hopeful it will be fixed in the next update.
I had the same problem and bought an expansion.
The smurfs keep doing this, and I have spend my berries for something that I didn't really want, but annoyed me tremendously.
I now feel a cheated!
Hi! I am noticing something on my island – often my smurfs will go down beyond the bottom of the screen where you can't view, and don't come back up for quite some time. When completing a task for Papa or another smurf, I will have to reboot the game and hope they are in the area where I can see them to tap on them.
I am playing on my ipad, on level 39. I have not done any expansions on the island that cost SBs.
Anyone else having this problem?
Yes. It is a bug. We provided an answer to your other comment on this same issue.
Cool – thanks for the quick response. Sorry for posting twice – I was on an iffy wifi connection and thought my comment didn't go through the first time.
Thanks again
I just started playing the game two weeks ago. My version must be different them the older ones. I have access to more limited time items and the quest to get the island is reduced by more then half. Each of the above quests takes 12 hours, or less!
How is this possible?
I don't know, but I can show you screen shots. I can buy as many treasure chests as I want. (Which is perfect for raising animals and harvesting Magic Raspberries.) I have 4 currently. 😀 The island quest started on Friday and I had the island by Sunday night. I was also around level 22/23 when this started. Maybe this spead up the time.
I despertly need more space. I bought all expension land options. But I' m running out of space. Beeline please help.
We aren't Beeline, we're a fan site. Your land expansion problem should be solved the next update (Beeline has added a land expansion to the south which will likely cost sb's)
How do you remove the logs on the far right side of the main map!?
The article above explains how to do it and what is required (min. level, quests completed etc.)
Island Expansion: do we know if Beeline will be expanding further West on the island? After the stone steps are placed, players may notice the rift on far side of the cliff expansion. Will players be able to add bridge to expand space? That would be great!
At this point, we do not know anything for sure, but Beeline promises more expansions for the game in future updates. So, it's only a matter of time!
Comece a construir uma escada até o precipício, para que possamos expandir a aldeia. escolher as escadas, a partir do menu de construção e colocá-los ao lado do penhasco.
Alguem pode me dizer que escada eh essa? Como faço? Por favor, ajudem! É aquela escada de pedra utilizada para a passagem do barro? Estou no nivel 28 e nao sei onde é esse penhasco, aparece um tronco enorme… Nao cabe uma escada de pedra ali…
Start building a ladder to the cliff, so we can expand the village. choose the stairs from the building menu and place them alongside the cliff. Can someone tell me what this ladder eh? How do I? Please help! Is that stone stairway used for the passage of clay? I'm at level 28 and do not know where is this cliff, there is a huge trunk … Not a stone stairway lies there
The cliff is the brown edge at the right of your main village area. it is a jagged edge of dirt in between the grassy areas. You are to select the three stone steps for 5000 coins from your main build menu and place them along the jagged edge of dirt. The stairs will turn to a green background when you have them in the correct spot. They are to the right of the shrub for 10 SB and to the left of the blue flag for 3 SB.
Also, in the future, please submit your comments in English as it will allow us to better answer your questions. We appreciate your cooperation with this request.
Only the paid expansions for 25 SB count for this goal. You can read about it in this article: http://www.mysmurfsvillage.com/smurfs-village-int…
It is not a bug, it has always been that way and it is only worth it if you would've expanded your village anyways.
Might be a dumb question. But when you pay for land expansion, does it expand everywhere? Like in the main village you pay for the expansion, so does it expand only the main or does the island and mountain expand as well?
You have to pay for each section individually, the paid expansion is available four times each on the island and mainland and as of now once on the mountain.
i have a question at level 24 " papa smursf second riddle – This is a room that has no floor,no walls,ni windows,and also no door.What is it?
You need to buy a mushroom for decoration
It is a mushroom
I'm on V1.3.4 and currently at level max. I'm recently trying to finish the quest regarding reaching 7 land expansions. I've purchased 2 additional expansions for the village and I've noticed that when placing items like cobble stones (to create streets/paths), the items can be placed but remain invisible. The gold that is required to purchase these items is being deducted and XP that can be gained is actually gained. But they items themselves remain invisible. Items like fences and stone walls can be placed and are visible. It seems that this issue is only related to items that can be used for e.g. creating streets/paths, but also the sand tiles that can be used to create the Zen park. Any other people here facing the same issue?
There is a limit how many paths you can place, the issue you are having means you have reached it. The zen gardens also count towards this limit. Beeline is planning on increasing the limit, but there has no word on when this will happen .
Also, please do not post questions several times about the same issue, it makes our work as moderators harder and reduces the time we can spend to actually answer questions.
Hi Smurfette,
I think you are right as when I move some paths from one place to a new place located in the recently purchased land expansions, the items are actually visible. What annoys me though is that instead of giving a warning or error, it just keeps on deducting gold from my total balance without being able to use the purchased items. I hope BeeLine will include a fix in the next update.
As for the multiple posts, I'm sorry for that. I was informed by this sites administrator that there was a delay in placing comments, hence my multiple posts.
Keep up the good work!
Although I agree with you and think it would be better if Beeline added a warning this has been going on for a while and people have been asking for over a year for Beeline to increase the limit and, even though they said they will eventually do it, it has not happened yet. So I guess the chances of there being a warning anytime soon are rather slim.
And if I am honest I think it is better if they use the time to fix some of the other (bigger) bugs, like the zoom issue on the island, first.
The path limit actually did increase in the last update. It used it be 1,000 and increased 10% to 1,100. I've been at path limit for at least 10 months and was quite disappointed that the Zen tiles and borders are considered paths.
I thought so too, but according to Beeline's support community there have not been any changes made to the path limit yet
All I know is that for months I could not add any more paths. After this last update, I was able to add 100 more. Perhaps they unintentionally altered the limit? An additional increase would be welcomed!
reached level 25 want to buy the hot air balloon says not available yet please help…
there few quests you need to get them completed first before it appears, try to complete papa smurfs quests first
I actually did not buy aw candy cane but it appeared out of nowhere!
I need to know why?
are you sure you bought it? if so it should be in the village unless you deleted it
when is the next update? :O and please expand the iland :C
When can you move the logs all the way to the right and when can you upgrade timber smurfs hut
You will be able to upgrade Timber's hut during Level 26. I'm not sure I understand the other part of your question. Are you asking about land expansions?
I'm on level 30 and have expanded up the steps on the cliff and got the Large log removed also, I have built right up to the edge but suddenly the log has reappeared straight through my houses and will not let me go over there, I have my timber smurf over there and cannot colect wood.
Please help
Try to recover yourvillage to an date before the logs caame back and se if that works otherwisei think that you need to contact beeline and se if they can help you
I am level 43 and have no space left on my mountain! I have so many houses and gems and crystals that there is almost no room left for digging. You don't even have an option to expand the space with smurfberries! Is there going to be more room or an expansion coming in the next update???
There is new space coming, but there has been no timeline or infos as to when this will happen
I am on level 16 and papa smurf tells me put a big bridge but when I try to put it somewhere it does not work! Please help.
I believe the big bridge expands the village on the left river. You just have to play around to see where the bridge fits across the river.
If Smurfette's advice still didn't work, make sure you move around some of the already-set bushes or flowers, which may be blocking the bridge's way and then go by Smurfette's advice. I had the same problem but it worked, I'm at level 26 now!
I am currently on level 26, but when I click on my hot air balloon, it says I cannot put another one in my village, but I have one currently?! Am I just not seeing it yet? Help please!gyn2
You have to finish Papa Smurf's quests to build the ballon. If you already have placed on then you can not place another one, it should be somewhere in your village.
hi IAm at level 21
I had the island already but now I can't get to it anymore… I just updated the thanksgiving pack but it still doesnt work… how can i get to my island again… ???
Which operating system are you using (iOS or Android)? You could try recovering your data from a backup to see if that helps. Go to your blue play menu and touch "options." Tap Papa's head 16 times until you see "recover village" appear. Tap "recover village." You should see a list of your backups. Choose one where you can see the island. (Each backup allows you to preview it before committing it to overwrite your village.) I hope this helps.
How do i get the island and the beach?
I'm out of room on my island u guys really need to make a mountain or cliff space to the right or something because I'm lvl 39 and I have no space
An island expansion was added in the last update. Perhaps you need to be more patient and not add too much stuff. That said, the coming update has a hint of new land. So, let's see what Beeline has in store for us.
estoy en el nivel 28 y quiero saber como hago un tunel que me estan pidiendo en la aldea
Tunel? A mi nunca me ha pedido un tunel. Qué pone exactamente?
Please submit your comments in English. I'm not sure if the translator gave me a correct translation. It saod you asked about a tunnel. There is not a tunnel that I am aware of.
I am very anoid, since the last update my island is not worth a thing , my smurfs stop working as soon as i leave the island, the time stops running for the crops , bananas have been growing for more than 6 days.to get the bottle quest finished i am forced to use berries. In the village suddenly some of my smurfs are missing, they come back, o.k. But i can not plant crops all at once! I just had a present from beeline ( 5 berries) to celebrate the i phone 5 ……..they do not mean that do they??? I have tried to contact beeline since the 12.9.12 it is now 21.9.12 …still no answer. They just leave you alone with your problem. Now they send berries for the i phone . Are they trying to take the micky out on me ? If they dont answer soon and shut off the problems , i will quit this game ! I EXPECT some sort of something as a sorry , i have spent money for this game
It might be the phone that you are using. I have an Android phone from 2011 and it all works well which leads me to believe it is not a software problem.
Yes, I grew like tomatoes on mainland and island about the same time, when tomatoes were done on mainland it was still 7h to go! (version 1.3.5, mar01)
Is it necessary to buy the bridge from the shop for the leftward expansion across the left river (I'm at level 16, so the bridge just became available)? I've put a bridge across it, which I acquired through the SmurfGrabber game, but the area does not expand.
I think you should buy a second one. I don't know how the items from Smurfs Grabber react with the game now.
i had bought the land expansion with smurfberry, and the only place that i can add/biuld is on that land expansion. i try to build the bridge, but the river is starts in the middle n goin down. the top part of the screen will not allow me to do anythin at all… wat could b the problem?
I don't know what the problem is but try to recover your village and buy the expansion again. Go to options, tap Papa Smurf's head 16 times, a recover village button appears. Press it and you'll see a list off saved villages. Select one, preview and if it's yours recover.
When i try to move the bridge to left side with provide enough space (in blue spot) but come out an message "you can't remove your last bridge on this river", any one can advise how should i do

You need to get Timber's materials from a quest first in order to upgrade.
Where I get the timber materials?
You can get them by completing a quest that sends smurfs away. You should get the quest starting at level 26
i already complete the quest from papa smurf, but still can't to upgrading. why?

It is something Grandpa Smurf wants you to dig to find. You will need to purchase a shovel for each dig, and it may take multiple digs to find it. Smurfy hunting!

Creative writing, 2015
Activities at Lycoming: United Campus Ministries, Dance Club, Raging Stitches, Lycoming College Choir, Chamber Choir, Tour Choir
Hometown: Curwensville, Pa.
High School: Curwensville Area High School
Most Influential Professor: Dr. Hawkes has influenced me the most at Lycoming. His classes are challenging, but extremely rewarding. I would not have understood my passion and potential as a writer had I not been challenged to meet his high standards.
Favorite Part of Class: I always enjoy the discussions that take place in workshops. Critiquing classmates' work, and having my own work critiqued, has certainly helped me get to the final draft, but through class discussions, I've realized how applicable lessons about writing are to life. We try to understand human reactions and how hearts truly work to record the truth as we know it. I'm learning to treat my writing, and all other areas of my life, with great care, giving concern to elegance and honesty.
Favorite Campus Club: United Campus Ministries is my favorite organization on campus. A wonderful group of people welcomed me into UCM my freshman year, and through their love of others and their faith, I've been inspired to reach out on campus, discovering a heart for ministry and forming deep relationships.
Advice for students: Lycoming is great place to be yourself, but this school also has a lot of opportunities available to expand your tastes and pursue unique interests. Take advantage of what Lycoming has to offer and try something different — you never know where these paths will take you.

Anyway from what i heard on the news Netherlands have made settlements for 50% of the country population for the the Apocalypse(Cindy could clear this out),but idk how much of a help would be they are already under the sea lvl so having a fortress on ground when a flood could come would not help to much
Also i read about a secret community saying that would be the fifth rise onto the astral plane etc ....but a very interesting thing i found they believe there will be a sudden change into the magnetic field of earth and that would kill everyone .
I know the magnetic Poles are in reversion atm but i never have considered a sudden change Effects .

It would be nice if the government told me at least 50% of the Dutch population could be saved. Nope sorry Hun. In an Apocalypse we are just as screwed as everyone else.
But you are correct about The Netherlands being 2/3 under sea level and yes we are protected from floods both sea and inland with our Dikes and other protective constructions to prevent another disaster like the North sea flood of 1953. The Dutch are preparing for other shortages that may come in the future, but flooding will always be number 1 of concern in the Dutch book.
If it's okay with you Triti, when The Netherlands fill with water may the whole NL-squad come have a sleepover at your place?

Grinnell, IA -- The Beloit College Women's Tennis team got back on the courts for the first time in a week on Sunday afternoon but fell twice in non-conference matches, 8-1 to host Grinnell College and 6-3 to Simpson College.
Against Grinnell, the Bucs could only manage Emma Beck's win at #4 Singles as the host Pioneers kept rolling in a, thus far, one-loss season.
With Simpson, Beloit trailed 3-0 after Doubles play before splitting the Singles competition, with Julia Win at #2, Beck at #3 and Ashley Miglin at #5 recording the wins.
The Buccaneers return home on Wednesday to host Judson University at the Strong Complex Tennis Courts. Action begins at 4:00 p.m.

Food Science involves the application of scientific principles in the development and supply of safe, nutritious and affordable food. Food scientists have been involved in the development of many novel food products that are now freely available in shops, e.g. long-life milk, frozen and canned foods, snack foods and ready-to-eat meals. Food scientists are trained to meet the challenge of developing and supplying foods that comply with the ever-changing demands of the modern consumer. Just as importantly, food scientists lead the fight against hunger and malnutrition through the development of affordable, nutritious foods. Examples are instant weaning porridges and vitamin- and mineral-fortified staple foods.
A food scientist must be knowledgeable about the chemical composition, structure and nutritional value of food, food processing and preservation techniques, and the chemical, physical and biological changes that occur in food during processing, preservation and storage.
The food industry is South Africa's largest manufacturing industry, and a degree in Food Science is your stepping stone to various exciting and challenging careers. The multidisciplinary nature of the Food Science courses, as well as exposure to the industry (visits to food factories, practical work in the Department's pilot plants), allow Food Science graduates to pursue a large variety of careers in the food and the food-related industries, based on each individual's personal interests.
The interface between food science, nutrition and health is an area of increasing concern to consumers, government and the food industry. There is an increase in consumer awareness of the impact of diet and the foods we consume on health-related diseases and well-being. Government recognises the multifactorial causes of hunger and malnutrition in our region and is committed to addressing this issue. Since consumers rely on the food industry to provide healthy, nutritious, safe and high-quality processed foods, food scientists and nutritionists employed by food and related industries will play an increasingly important role in the future to ensure that consumers have access to safe, high-quality foods that are nutritionally beneficial.

Unraveling The Role Of Public Researcher Mobility For Industrial Innovation

Date Added: May 2011
Format: PDF
The authors estimate the relative contribution of mobile scientists who leave academia for the private sector on the subsequent innovative performance of the firms they join. They use data on the population of Danish firms and their R&D workers for the period 1999-2004 and measure innovation performance by the (value-adjusted) number of patent applications at the European Patent Office. They compare the efficacy of mobile former university scientists to the effects of mobile workers hired from other firms as well as immobile workers on the innovation performance of their employer.

Q. I've heard that under the ACA, smokers will have to pay 50 percent more for insurance – and that, even if they qualify for a tax credit, the subsidy will not cover the 50 percent "premium surcharge." Does this mean that, under the ACA, smokers won't be able to afford healthcare?
A. In the end, most smokers should be able to get health insurance.
First, in the U.S. most adults who smoke are poor: 39 percent live below the poverty level. Many more live below 133 percent of the poverty level. As states expand Medicaid, they will become eligible for the program. Since Medicaid charges no premiums, they will not pay a premium surcharge.
Secondly, it is up to individuals states to decide whether they will let insurers charge smokers more. By early April of 2013, Rhode Island, Vermont, Massachusetts and D.C. had voted to eliminate smoking premiums in their health care exchanges. The American Cancer Society, which is opposed to the surcharge, is working to persuade other states to ban it. (The ACS explains: "We're anti-smoking, not anti-smoker.")
Third, workers covered on the job will be able to avoid tobacco penalties by joining smoking cessation programs.

Apriority Puts on a Show in Mr. Prospector Stakes
Apriority Puts on a Show in Mr. Prospector Stakes
By Ed Gray
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Big Drama was a very tough act to follow in the stable of trainer David Fawkes, but Apriority still put on quite a show Saturday at Gulfstream Park.
Apriority didn't come close to the track record of 1:08.28 that Big Drama set while winning $100,000 Mr. Prospector Stakes (G3), but the 4-year-old son of Grand Slam turned in a mind-boggling performance of his own to give Fawkes back-to-back triumphs in the 59th running of the six-furlong stakes.
Despite stumbling badly leaving the starting gate from the rail post position and lacking running room until reaching the deep stretch, a resilient Apriority demonstrated an irrepressible will to win with a last-ditch lunge at the wire to prevail over pacesetter Zero Rate Policy by a nose.
"I thought we were done at the start after he stumbled so bad. We're lucky the jock stayed on," said Fawkes, whose 5-2 second choice was ridden by Luis Saez. "It's amazing what he overcame to win it. When he got back in contention at the top of the stretch it was a matter of inside, outside. (Saez) waited and waited and then made the right choice and got through."
Apriority ($7.20) recovered quickly after nearly unseating his rider and tracked Zero Rate Policy, who set solid fractions of 22.54 and 44.74 seconds for the first half mile while being stalked by Immortal Eyes and The Hunk. Zero Rate Policy, ridden by Paco Lopez, took the lead into the stretch and opened a length lead with an eighth of a mile to go, completing five furlongs in a swift 56.72 seconds.
Despite his early troubles, Apriority still had some fight in him and battled his way to victory after a path opened along the rail inside of Zero Rate Policy. While winning his third race over the Gulfstream track in as many starts, Apriority ran six-furlongs in 1:09.28 to break a five-race winless streak since turning in a career-best effort at Gulfstream last April. But he did so at a cost.
"He grabbed his left front foot inside, but it appears to be superficial," Fawkes said. "We'll see. If everything's all right he'll come back in the ($200,000 Florida) Sunshine Millions Sprint (Jan. 28)."
Zero Rate Policy, who captured the $60,000 Sunshine State Stakes for Florida-bred horses at Gulfstream on Dec. 4, finished a half-length ahead of Indiano, the slight 5-2 favorite ridden by Javier Castellano.
"My horse ran a great race. I floated a little wide around the turn, but he ran hard all the way," Lopez said. "We just lost the bob. That's the way it goes sometimes."
Trainer Terri Pompay was encouraged by Zero Rate Policy's effort despite losing by just a nose.
"He ran a good race. At least he proved he can go with these horses. He made the step up. He got beat, but he ran real credible," said trainer Terri Pompay, who will also point the son of Trippi to the Florida Sunshine Millions Sprint.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M could not overcome ice-cold shooting halfway through as a banged up Mike Rosario stepped up early to give No. 10 Florida a dominating 68-47 victory.
The Aggies forced the Gators to play at their own pace early on and kept the score close. Mike Rosario began an early 8-0 charge as Florida pulled away initially. He scored 11 of the Gators' first 13 points shooting 4-5 from the field as the rest of the team shot 1-6. Rosario finished with a game high 19 points. He has scored 19 points in back-to-back games after missing the previous contest to LSU due to a sprained left ankle.
The game was relatively close until a cold front hit the Aggies shooting to end the first half and carried on through the beginning of the second half. During that stretch they missed 15 straight field goal attempts and did not make their first bucket in the second half until the 16:15 mark.
"Texas A&M hasn't scored since they were in the Big-12," said ESPN2 commentator Mike Rece during the cold stretch for the Aggies.
Texas A&M was coming off a four game winning streak and a convincing victory against Kentucky as they put up 83 points versus the Wildcats. At one point Thursday they scored just 20 points in 24 minutes. This was the eighth time the Gators held an opponent to under 50 points.
One reason for the Aggies recent success has been leading scorer Elston Turner. He put up 40 points against Kentucky and was averaging 17.1 points per game coming into Thursday's game. The Gators defense played him well as he shot just 1-10 from the field and was limited to a season low four points. This was the first time that Turner had not scored at least 10 points all season.
The Gators starters stepped up in this game and logged plenty of minutes in the meantime. Patric Young was the only starter who tallied less than 18 minutes in the first half. Young became more aggressive in the second half and finished with 18 points on 7-9 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds. He has now shot above 50 percent in every single game this season. Erik Murphy also had a solid night shooting 6-10 from the floor for 16 points while snatching 7 rebounds as well.
The Gators' bench scored just four points and Casey Prather remained sidelined due to an ankle sprain. Will Yeguete played limited minutes tonight because he is still dealing with tendonitis in his right knee.
The Gators have won three consecutive SEC games and five straight overall as they improved to 13-2 for the season. Florida's next game is Saturday in Gainesville against No. 17 Missouri (13-3) at 2:00 p.m on ESPN.

Published Thursday, January 24, 2013
I find it both humorous yet dismally ironic that our media has spent so much time discussing the deceptions of both Lance Armstrong and the Norte Dame football player while there is a greater lie being perpetrated by the president of the United States.
It began on Sept. 11, 2012, when he said al Queda was on the run, devastated by his policies. Then we have Benghazi, and now we know the truth about North Africa, and that al Qaeda is in control of an area as large as our second largest state of Texas. On the run? Yes, to kill us and any other human being who disagrees with their insane religious beliefs.
Americans, if you believe that one, you also believe that the Cold War is over. If it is over, why is Russia still backing a murderer in Syria who is involved with the North Koreans, Iran, et cetera?
Why is our president lying to us? Could it be that if he can convince us that we are safe, he can easily cut the defense budget and send our Navy back to the level it was at before World War I? So that he can use the money for his domestic projects to keep buying votes for keeping his party in office?
Or could it be his goal is to destroy this country altogether? Our Navy is the only reason that we are able to defend this country in the Middle East and keep the enemy from our shores.
Paul Ferguson, Senoia


text: [[AC:FridgeHorror]]* [[spoiler: "You ''always'' said you wanted a son."]] Not a line that would immediately freak you out...* As with most movies and TV shows, the main characters have inexplicably big, beautiful, lavishly decorated houses. Hell, Katie and Micah's is three bedrooms, all three fully furnished. Then you realize [[spoiler: that's a cut of nana's demon money.]]* After the demon uses Katie to [[spoiler:finally get the boy-child it wanted for so long]], one wonders: ''[[NothingIsScarier what did it do with her?]]''** The fourth film [[spoiler: shows that it's still possessing her and has raised at least one child (Robbie) within the demon's influence. One can only wonder why?]]*** If the movie is any indication, one theory could be that the demon is amassing some kind of possessed army to take over or bring about the end. Which makes the simplistic nature of the franchise itself even more disturbing.* The dinosaur footprints in Wyatt's room in the fourth one look suspiciously like the demon footprints from the first one.* Why would the cult [[spoiler:give up the real Hunter for adoption and have him raised by a normal family? Because the demon wants an innocent child as a sacrifice, and if he had been raised by the cult, like Robbie, he wouldn't have fit the bill.]] [[ParanoiaFuel Makes you wonder about where]] [[spoiler:your own adopted child came from]]...* Crossing with FridgeBrilliance sort of, the implication of PA Latino spin-off sounds rather dumb. [[spoiler: Until you see in [=PA4=] that there are Spanish newspaper clippings in Demon!Katie's house covering the window, which makes one wonder what the demon could've been up to in a Spanish-speaking country. Especially combined with TheStinger.]]** There's also Ben mentioning going to Mexico. Probably not totally significant but maybe there's more to it than we think.* In the third movie, there's an unusually high number of detailed books on the occult available to the characters. Which actually makes sense given [[spoiler:a coven of witches have been operating nearby for a demon that feeds on fear]]. Some books were no doubt picked up from Estate sales and/or kids donating Grandma's effects after she died. Others were probably seeded by [[spoiler:the coven]] to increase awareness of the demon and thus feed it through fear.* When Katie says that [[spoiler: Wyatt looks "just like his mother".]] When it's revealed who is actually [[spoiler: Wyatt's mother...]]* The true Fridge Horror of this series comes when you realize that everything you see that seems scary (doors opening, demon footprints, etc.) only occur because the demons wants them to be seen. Does he need to open a door to move into a room? No, but he feeds on the negative energy of fear. Hell, it could even be influencing these people to film it just so it could scare them even more.* It didn't hit me until a few days after I watched The Marked Ones, but you remember that both Oscar and Jesse are both [[spoiler: adopted, like Wyatt, albeit first borns]], right? They might not be the exact same situation, but this means that it's widespread enough that there's ''a standard procedure'' with this sort of thing.[[AC:FridgeLogic]]* The moment of switching protagonists in ''The Marked Ones''. Jesse brings his camera down into a haunted area. He gets attacked, and drops the camera. Then we cut to the others, and Jesse's possessed. So...how did the camera get back? (Of course, one could apply this to FoundFootage horror films, period: "How did we get this footage?" But this is a question of how the ''characters'' got the camera back....)

Book Summary Eight days... Elias Wylder, that egotistical SOB, had the gall to trick Moriah into bonding with him during her Opening Ceremony! Now her year of hiding is almost up. Only eight days and she'll be free. In eight days, Moriah can repudiate the bond with Wylder and claim her rightful place in Arcane Society. Until then, she dare not allow the powerful warlock to discover she still loves him, despite his trickery. She must keep her distance, no matter how close she wishes they could be. But Wylder's not the kind to take no for an answer. Humbled by her loss, Elias will do anything to find Mariah, even begging the Council of Magick for help. Unfortunately, his year of futile searching is almost up. An Athame Warlock must present his lady to the Council before the year passes, or lose her forever. Elias can't allow that to happen. Mariah's taken more than Wylder's magick -- she's stolen his heart. He's got just eight days to find her, and win her back! Publisher's Note: Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Camille Anthony's Wylder Magick once existed under the same title as part of an anthology which is no longer in publication.

Teddy Mitchell pleaded not guilty Monday to a federal indictment that accuses him of heading up an illegal gambling business that made $8.1 million before it ended.
Teddy Mitchell, eight other men and Costa Rican business accused in federal gambling indictment
Mitchell, whose wife was beaten to death in their Oklahoma City home in 2010, is accused of both hosting illegal poker games at his home and illegally taking bets from across the country on sporting events in an 81-count indictment.
"It's always been Teddy's position that what he was doing was not illegal," said his defense attorney, Scott Adams. "He was a professional gambler."
A federal grand jury in Oklahoma City last week indicted Mitchell, two of his sons, Dryden Mitchell and Nick Mitchell, a longtime friend, David Loveland, and five other men. The grand jury also indicted a Costa Rican company, Gortation Management.
The indictment was made public Monday.
"I hope the message is: 'Don't do it,'" U.S. Attorney Sanford C. Coats told reporters at a news conference about the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ed Kumiega told a federal magistrate judge Monday that Teddy Mitchell, 57, was the "leader and organizer" of the business. Prosecutors want him to be detained until trial. They argue he is a flight risk.
A detention hearing for Teddy Mitchell is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. FBI agents arrested him Friday.
Woman's killing
No one has been charged yet in the homicide of his wife, Julie Mitchell, 34.
She was found in a pool of blood in the closet of the master bedroom on Nov. 2, 2010. Oklahoma City police detectives still are investigating.
The indictment does not mention the death.
The investigation of the gambling operation began years before she was killed, according to Coats and Jim Finch, the FBI special agent in charge in Oklahoma.
"This was not an investigation of a couple of guys who just stopped by the house for a friendly small-stakes poker game," Finch said. "This was a major, organized criminal investigation of illegally gambling and money laundering. ... We've been watching this group for a while."
Defense attorney Billy Bock, who represents Dryden Mitchell, said it is obvious the FBI had stopped looking into accusations of gambling before the death.
"It didn't mean anything to anybody," Bock said. "I think no one cared — victimless type of situation. Then Julie gets killed, and they kick the dust off this investigation."

"Ghost Mode" is such track that goes straight after listening to PC download then to mobile mp3 player and goes on repeat forever.
Big ups and respect to these two Naija acts.

My family recently attended the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival (saicff.org). I was encouraged by the improvements being made on all fronts–technical skill, artistic expression, camera work, sound, lighting, editing, props, stunts–you name it. The $101,000 winning production was an important documentary called Agenda–Grinding America Down. We'll be getting copies of the movie in our bookstore soon so you can see how we are being systematically eroded by the socialist/communist agenda. This is not a conspiracy theory movie, but one that uses the very source documents of the far left showing how they have accomplished nearly everything they sought after–extreme separation of church and state, control of Hollywood and the media, intentional lowering the morality in America by promoting homosexuality/abortion on demand/promiscuity, gaining control of the public schools, and tearing apart the nuclear family through feminism and a reliance on the state. In other words, they realized they could not cause revolution in America as they did in other countries because of our strong Judeo-Christian roots which formed our Constitution, so they switched agendas to bring us down from the inside–and they are succeeding at a shocking rate.
You may be thinking that all we need are the right people in politics and are in good shape with the last election results. Well, the movie makes a key point that as long as the public schools exist for their propoganda machine (yes, even with their being Christian public school teachers and principals and Christian children attending with Christian parents helping the PTA), the next generation is simply carried further along in their agenda, perhaps unwittingly and slowly. They are patient if nothing else. Consider this quote from Vladimir Lenin–"Give me four years to teach the children and
the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
Folks, the battle did not end when the wall came down, as good as that was. We are in the midst of the battle RIGHT NOW–but are we even aware? There are other movies to discuss in further posts–stay tuned…

Pt. 1: Friday Games @ GAMBIT: Step Up To The Gayme Bar
Part 1 of 2. This totally recursive edition of Friday Games at GAMBIT from May 11th, 2012 featured two special guests: Jason Toups and Jeremiah Bratton, hosts of the wonderful podcast Gayme Bar, your "weekly dose of gay gaming geekiness." These two Southern belles grace the world every week with their insightful, snarky, and fabulously funny critiques of games, the game industry, and game culture (amongst many other things) and they were at GAMBIT to talk about their podcast, games, and anything else that comes to mind. The discussion was moderated by GAMBIT Researcher, Todd Harper. Video produced by Generoso Fierro. Edited by James Barrile.

You know who got rich during the gold rush? The guys shelling shovels.
That was my theory toward the end of 2009. I was relatively new to economics, but from what I understood, it seemed like a gold and silver bull market were just beginning. Unfortunately, I didn't have much money. I did, however, have an understanding of publishing websites and making money that way. I was selling intellectual shovels. I was a web publisher.
That's why I launched a websites and a newsletter on precious metals, and eventually sold it to a Brazilian investor, and then re-launched two more precious metals websites. We were in a gold rush, and the easiest way to make money in a gold rush is to sell shovels. It's the next best thing to owning the mines.

Genome sequences of up to 30 samples of the fungus from the UK and Europe will rapidly help to acquire in-depth genetic information to shed light on the infection process. These data will reveal clues to the origins of the disease and provide genetic 'markers' to allow the spread of different strains of the fungus to be followed. Genetic data will also provide direct insights into the nature of the fungus.
The consortium will obtain information about how the disease spreads by studying infection in climate-controlled growth facilities, tracking the fungus as it colonises the plant. This vital information will help to develop effective disease control strategies.
The project will also uncover how some ash trees can partially resist attack. About 2% of Danish trees appear to ward off the disease but little information on the genetic basis for this is known. Genetic data from these trees will be compared to susceptible trees to find variations in their genetic codes. By identifying these differences, genetic makers can be developed to help breeders produce more resistant trees.
The Nornex consortium, named for the three Norns who tend the ash tree of life 'Yggdrasil' in Norse mythology, will upload its data to an open-access website. This crowd-sourced, data-sharing approach will share the genetic data to exploit the expertise of plant and fungal research communities internationally.
Charting the disease
In addition to the consortium, Professor Christopher Gilligan with Dr Nik Cunniffe at the University of Cambridge and Dr Frank van den Bosch Rothamsted Research, have been awarded funding to develop and test mathematical, computer-based models to

From A World To Win News Service
28 June 2010. A World to Win News Service. The American international policy professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, who are critical of U.S. support for Israeli settlement expansion and its attacks on Lebanon and Gaza, argue that "the unmatched power of the Israel lobby" distorts U.S. foreign policy. Many people outraged by these crimes have been influenced by their still widely circulated article "The Israel Lobby" that first appeared in The London Review of Books in 2006 (available at lrb.co.uk) and was later expanded into a book published in 21 countries.

Only You Can End the War
Crimes are crimes, no matter who commits them. This war, from its onset to now, has been a crime against humanity, and people of conscience must oppose it. You must oppose it.

Another TouchPad gets demo treatment at Wal-Mart [video] 53
Now that the HP TouchPad has arrived at several Wal-Mart locations, plenty of folks are going hands-on with the device ahead of release and as such, they're filming it all whenever possible. The latest video (after the break) comes to us from Kansas where Wal-Mart was kind enough to put their TouchPad on display in an area that actually has signal. Needless to say, nothing really new appears in the video that we didn't see earlier this week, but it is a good six-minute look at what we've waited so long for and will soon have. Has anyone else swung by a Wal-Mart (or elsewhere) to go hands-on? If so, let us know in the forums.
Thanks, rothoof!

Ha -- at first, I thought that was a finger instead of an arm! A mini-TouchPad :)
You are so right!
pift thats not so bad I thought his hands were under the touchpad and you could see them on the touchscreen. :p
It looks like it will be difficult to teach employees how to use all of the devices that are coming out. Some employees could care less about what they carry. They just want to get the job done and go home.
Here is a solution: HP needs to take the display they have for the TouchPad and add a 27" to 32" touchscreen monitor right above it. Then they need to create tutorials on how to use webOS and looping them to play over and over again. Create games and interactions from the monitor to the Touchpad.
For instance, on the big screen tv the tutorial will ask you to try gestures on the Touchpad and will show you exactly what happens when executed correctly. Like opening an app and minimizing it with the home button or the upswipe. They should create several examples because when people actually interact with something and do it correctly they feel as though they accomplished something. haha
Employees will have a better feel for it since they will see it everyday and customers will watch webOS used correctly.
Great idea, hope HP takes a note here!
(oh wait - no, they will make another printed magazine ad & some stupid Tweeter faart instead...)
For those who have managed to look at or use one:
How is the screen/picture quality?
With a glass display and IPS I imagine it looks great!
I thought it was excellent. There was a video of the new panda movie on the device I used and it looked great to me.
where in KC? I am here, would love to go and see it
Almost feel like the review of TP would be done before the official review comes out
so hard to see w that damn light
I really want to see a review. Specifically for the PDF support. I'd sell my ipad and get a touchpad, but I read a lot of pdfs on my ipad, and I know the current one in webOS is terrible.
What you get on the iPad, is what you'll have on the Touchpad. Except for that bookshelf look and **** galore.
not really, I can make it do a list view (I have to I have several hundred books, mostly technical in nature), and it allows me to see a zoomed out 9 page at a time view to quickly navigate. It also allows me to search pdfs for content. I don't need the webOS pdf experience to be mind blowing, just fast and usable.
Still nary a sign of a touchpad at my Wal-Mart in St. Louis.
I saw a slot for one at the St. Ann Wal-Mart, but that was a week and a half ago. Haven't had a chance to go and check again. Last time I went to the Ferguson Wal-Mart it was all torn up and had a leak in the electronics department. Nice! Maybe I'll check and report back this weekend.
What Wal-Mart was this filmed at? I saw that the poster lived in Southeast Kansas. I too live in Southeast Kansas (Pittsburg) and would love to go check this out!
It was in Pittsburg, You actually have to ask to use it...
You guys are kidding me... two other webOS fans in Pittsburg? I thought I was the only one! Definitely going to have to brave the Walmart and play with this, though I'll probably trek over to Joplin to purchase it at Best Buy come launch day.
make that 3
You guys need to have a meetup!
from what i saw on the vid. webos is rockin... everything looked very smooth.. only issue is no wifi connection so something were not able to be loaded. paperboy is included~!!!
also as a side note, on the other vid i noticed that the TP only had about 27.5 gigs available. something for the people getting the 16 gig to think about. although most of it can be just preloaded vids that u will be able to delete later...
Paperboy...wow I used to play the original in the arcade and on my Amiga computer. Fantastic and good to see.
Thanks for the heads up on the Videos preloaded to show off the device and let people see what it can do.
Hopefully more demo units arrive at Best Buy or Walmart soon! Sorli...
Was that Box.net with 50G of free space for the Touchpad?
Yes! I saw that too. I sure looks like it comes with a FREE 50GB account to box.net. I've been a dedicated DropBox user for over a year, but I'll ditch my free 2gb with DB to switch to box.net in a heartbeat. Great stuff!
"just one more!"
Amen. That will be me July 1. And 2. Probably 3 and 4 as well ;)
Do we have any info on whether it allows multiple profiles? I.e. I log in with mine, it has all my synergized contacts. My fiancee logs in with her profile and it has all her contacts.
The SDK doesn't have this capability but it doesn't mean the final model won't. It will come in handy for those that are planning to share their tablet with someone else so lets hope they would add this feature.
I do see it as a potential problem though. Backups are dependent on your Palm profile so when you switch profile then your device would start restoring your data, apps, sms and settings so every time you try to switch it would have to wipe the device and reload it.
Surely they've thought of that. For the TouchPad I hope changing profiles would just be a matter of logging in like you would on a PC or Mac.
HP Box, ehh. 50GB free, ehh. Me likey!
Im gonna scour the western PA area this weekend to find a demo.
Great video! It just wouldn't be Walmart without that buggy going down the isle sounding like a freight train.
This thing looks awesome! How long til it goes on sale with a discount? Also, how are the beats speakers? They sound pretty good on the video! Got start putting some $ away to pick this thing up! Gave up on my pre -! Now on evo and with the touchpad would be awesome!
Somebody needs to download some PDFs on to the TP so we can see how well they run!
Who will pick it up in a store if it's all smugged and covered in other peoples fingerprints. Pretty disgusting. I hope HP has staff on hand to wipe it clean after each person uses it.
from the two rudimentary Walmart videos that I've seen here, I have to say that it looks like HP delivered on the optimization, as the TP looks very sleek in terms of operation. Granted it's a brand new unit, but right now this is really exciting stuff. I am wondering what kind of stipulations are attached to the 50GB box.net account, but this seems like an excellent opportunity for box.net to compete directly with Dropbox. Love the competition.
Nice and glad some Walmarts have a demo unit. Checked our recently renovated Walmarts in my area of North Florida and they don't have anything yet. Actually, their Tablet displays are pretty sparce and their primetime devices like the iPad and iPad2 are behind glass and locked for safety.
Also checked out local Best Buy and they referenced supposidly getthing them on the 17th which came and went. They also don't have anything and on display are two demo Veer units installed upside down (idiots). Hopefully they get real Veer phones and a TouchPad soon!!! Sorli...
Why is there always a shopping cart with a bad wheel going by in these Walmart videos?
I'd really want to try out the touchpad, but not for $500.
I feel like even if i do spend $500 on it, I won't get the full experience without a touchstone charger.
I'm cringing at the price for all the accessories. I everything comes at a price, but I'll easily spend 200 or 300 bones on the case, Touchstone, Keyboard, and otherwise to keep my investment.
Heard rumor of Sam's Club bring the 16gb price to $479 and only charging less then $50 for two year warranty. May end up going this route to safe-guard my unit. Sorli...
Anyone see a working one in VA?
I checked my local Walmart today and they didn't have anything out or in the back.
Also checked my local Best Buy and Walmart (newly renovated with expanded computer and tablet areas), but nothing! Bummer and would have loved to check things out.
The the Walmart videos scattered do show a few things, but I need to figure a way to install Preware remote and on the display units when they do arrive. Now that I've listened to Beats audio headsets...I want to see how the TouchPad speakers perform and what kind of interaction/enhancement Beats tech brings to the table. May have to wait to November too buy Beats audio headsets since they are half the price of the Touchpad.
Is the App Catalog installed on these demo units? Can apps (free or otherwise) be downloaded and installed? Having some demo music and Music Remix would be handy and I'd also like to see more web/video/flash content if someone else gets a preview! Sorli...
