Ill have to let my hand just express and wonder with words.
So; Ive figured out most of what the problem is; but ill keep writing about it.
The problem; My mother was monster; a psychopath; soulless; more like an Alligator; in fact An Alligator; The psychopath is closer to the reptile alligator lineage or Komodo Dragon; thats my opinion..
The problem; I would say " I love you mom" from 0 to 5 years old. And get no response. And the " no response" was not a normal " no response" form a mother; instead; it was a shallow nothingness; like telling an Alligator you love them; like talking a wall that can kill you; like talking to a demon over n over n over; telling it that you love it; it just stares at you; not understanding; pure predator with predatoring humans on its mind and nothing else of importance. So; when I said I love you; the response was; Im not important. And of course; it was ten times worse then that. And the effect of having no response when I said I loved her over and over; " I love you mom" and Id bring her things; Id buy her things from a garage sale when I was 5; I would get no response when I gave it to her; it was a fake shell response; like talking to a shell. She had contempt for me and my brothers. But she was a monster; A psychopath.
So; I become psychotic from this and non responsive as a human being and the world started to look like I was looking through a piece of glass and it got worse and worse and worse; soon; the only thing I could relate to was a TV screen and nothing beyond it.
So; I need solutions on how to tell a mother I love her and get a response; feel like I loved my mom; was given the right to love my mom.
The next problem is believing I was loved by my mom when I was not. And Im practicing the idea of substitution; meaning; Im imagining I have a mother in my head and she's telling me " Brian I love you" .
And their it is; all that I need to cure for now; the receiving and giving of love from a mother; believing it happened. Or something of that nature; getting this fixed.
Below are the different scenarios Ive had with women; Im just venting or expressing; getting them out.
So; Im going to have problems expressing feelings correctly and trusting anything that moves; I wont be able to trust anything and I will not be able to receive love or give love; I wont be able to receive or give. It will all be dissociated out of existence.
This is a hosh posh disjointed accumulation of ideas about women; my interactions with them; with the hopes of breaking through concerning what happened; why Im so dysfunctional around women and scared to tell anyone or let anyone know or the shame involved. And I know that control is part of this; I don't want any women in control of me; I don't even want to deal with it; I have no toleration for it.
Ive got to find out whats wrong with me concerning women because I cant sleep with them or date them. Well; I cant sleep with them.
I have allot of shame; its horrible; horrible the things I was put through.
I was not prepared for what I was going through; no one prepared me for what I was going through.
I had a women I interacted with and got close with; she is mad at me because for a few years she tried to get close to me because our personalities matched; at least she thought so; and she wanted me; was attracted to me by what I said; later I would get used to walking up to her and talking to her; or more importantly; interacting with her. And thus; the bond was complete; meaning; Ive completed it; I women wanted to get close to me; she would walk over and get physically close. I would run away from that closeness; it scared me; it scared me because I have CPTSD. Finally I over came my fear a bit and started to get close to her. I took chances and learned to walk over and say hi; much like a broken little kid. shy. And I began to talk; it was all therapy for me. Im not sure she understood this; but maybe she did. She tried to talk to me and walked over and sat by me; she was desperate. I got up and left; walked out. I didn't come back for 9 months; when I re entered the rooms I met her at; she was pregnant; she came over and gave me a hug. but I was so glad someone else had don't it and not me... But later; I learned to walk over to her and wave at her and give her a hug. And I did give her a hug. And so; for a while I connected with her. And at one point; I sat with her eye to eye from 2 inches away; and she told me what she thought of me and I listened. and she got her feelings out and I didn't leave. and that was a completed blond. Meaning; with my dissociative disorder. I was able to complete an emotional hookup with someone; get up close and complete the emotional circle. She was not thrilled about it because she was with another man and not me; she acted more like a therapist a bit; like she was really proud of me for the work and improvements I had made but inside she had regret because I was not the one she got pregnant by. And I made sure of it. But she didn't seem to know that. Anyway; it was a completed emotional circle. So; can I say I have problems with women; Yes. but I did complete that circle.
I do well with nice girls; I do not do well with whores. I like whores; they turn me sexually. But something is always wrong.
I don't feel good enough with a women that looks like a model; I drop my head and don't feel good enough for her; I suppose this because I wasn't good enough for Lisa.... And I didn't care anymore... Or good enough for my mother and didn't care anymore.... And I know my mother was a psychopath; and it means I had no other friends; I had no other support; I was alone when I was rejected. However, now I know the people that betrayed me; they were sociopaths; I had no idea; they weren't complete sociopaths; but maybe me; because their families turn out to be sick and I never knew it. And that is all 2 much for me to deal with; all of these emotional things are 2 much for my CPTSD to deal with; and its possible that my emotional deregulation built up and my symptoms stepped in and deregulated me and my mind left me or dissociated....
I don't do well with really good looking women; they scare me; I never think Im good enough; and they can run off with someone else. And looks are more important to them then who I am. Something dishonest about them; you would think not; or my values were already established and I didn't need a girl for that; for sex. In fact; I don't; but heres the deal; I watch porn like I want a women for sex. I cant live up to good looking women...
I would rather watch porn then be with a real women; well; I look at women as if their rubber dolls. I could sleep with one or watch porn. But I don't want any emotional back lash. So; what do I want.
So I have a mish mash mess concerning women. Im severe different personalities concerning women.
I want sex period; but is that why I look for a girl friend. I want a whore I can sleep with; but thats not true; thats not my personality; but a part of me; it is my personality. but its not. but a darker part of me it is. but its not; Im sad when I say something like; I want to use a whore; thats doesn't sound right thats not me. But I like sex; But id be using a women if I had sex with her; thats how I feel about it; or I would be with a bad person if I sex; so; something is wrong. concerning sex. its all messed up.
I had a women offer me sex; but I didn't take it because my worth was based on sex and I would never see her again. I would be used by her and I was not going to let that happen.
I want to use women for sex but Im ashamed of it and don't want to admit it; but deep down thats what I want; I want to fool around with them but Im to bashful to admit it.
I can have a relationship with a women; Ive gone full circle; Ive walked back up to her and she told me how she felt and I told her how I felt. But I didn't tell her how I felt. Ive told no one how I feel. I didn't want to get caught the way my mother would catch me. I didn't want to get hurt the way she would hurt me if I expressed my feelings; I did not want a women to do this; Im quit pathological about seeing all women this way; like they could be my mother and hurt me where I would have to run away from this monster. So; their is a clue. And when I walked up to this women and she told me how she felt; I opened up a little; just enough to ask about how she felt about me; that was a start; and she opened up; and because of it and my physical proximity; it was a complete circle. In another situation; I got close to another women but I got mad at her. I told her about a psychopath in the rooms; And I found out she had slept with him and she was trying to defend him; and that was the end of our relationship; bam. She refused to accept what I told her about him; And I will not stand for people defending people that hurt children; just because they slept with him and made her status higher with her friends; thats sickening. meaning; thats not me; thats none of my business; I need to get out of their. but I like sex; and so sex held me their. but Left. so; Ive actually been building relationships. But I never slep with them. but I did sleep with this fat girl once and that didn't scare me. IT wasn't intimidating. I wasn't scared that I would be judged and thrown away. But I would not sleep with the really good looking hot women; I refused. that scared me worse; I would be pulled into a whole social world I didn't want anything to do with. Maybe I don't want to get turned down. yes; thats it; altho women like me; Im scared because I really don't believe they think Im all that; Im afraid they really see me the way my mother saw me.
Do I want to sleep with women; yes; I want to use their bodies; but I cant but I want to. but I'm getting stopped; and as soon as I think about sleeping with women; i see my grandfather; step grandfather controlling my body; I'm 11 years old; and he's putting his hands all over me like Im a girl and Im freaking out; Im scared to death; I have to live their and theirs no escape; and my mind is slowly going away again.
And other bad things he does; but I cant escape and its during the time of my sexual development
First Ive had many women want me; but I never wanted them; meaning; deep down; I just want to go home to the way things were; Im a decent person who never thought of women period. I never thought of them accept to have that one girl of my dreams and that was it; I didn't want women for anything else. In fact; when I was a teenager; I was so innocent that I could be with the hottest women in the school and it meant nothing to me because I never saw them that way; my first love was one of the hottest women in the school. But I never saw her that way; And that statement I just used; is perfect because thats the real me. And a voice within me is trying to critically destroy that person. and thats my mothers voice I guess. It is my mothers voice. because in reality as a child. Things were fear based but I buried it; I assumed I would grow past this person who was not safe to be around; that was her problem and id just move forward. Little did I know the effect she would have on me; And that affect of control and fear was from 0-3 years old.
The real me just wanted a first love and nothing else. I was never interested in a women body; it did matter to me; and it still doesn't. When I think about a first love; I think of someone I would crawl up on the bed and be next to; not sleep with. Sleep with her is not anyone else business; its not a popularity contest between a bunch of guys and the girl I like.
Im a nice guy; I met the girl of my dreams; I asked God for her and it did not work out; and I have to discuss why; over n over n over until their is an understanding; and it has little or nothing to do with the girl; it has to do with displacement. Im a displaced person. I had a home I lived in; it was pulled out from underneath me and my whole frame of life vanished and was changed. I had no outside reference points. And all I've wanted was to get that reference point back so I could get back inline with myself.
Ive been around and I know that underlining most of this is a horrible level of fear. And that fear is; I don't want to go back around these people that hurt me; but where to I go; I can go to heaven; for at least in heaven I would not be crushed like I am on planet earth.
I have no interest in women; nothing; because I don't know all these women. Im only interested in that women that God naturally brought to me; the right one; Im not interested in the others.
So; something is wrong here; I should be interested in all women; talking to them; flirting with them; meeting them; dating them; Something is really wrong... Im scared to express myself to women?
Sex; Sex plays a roll when the other areas are not possible. meaning; if I cant have a first love and Im disconnected from relationships; then;
Im dislocated; de franchised. And so; that is more important then stranger women; women that are strangers to me. I cant have a relationship with a women until I get the rest of my life together. but my life never comes together. So; Im never with women; I'm scared. or scared of women.
Ive been offered sex from women numerous times. but I turned them all down and I don't know why; I was shy; and immature I guess; scared; but I was dreaming about having sex with the women that I turned down.
ITs the process and interaction; Im shutting down during the process and interaction; if these women were in my bed; Id be in that bad with them; no problem. So; its not sex and its not the resistance to sex; its before all that; its in the presentation. Something is getting defused, deregulated and dysfunctionally rerouted the wrong direction; like I have mixed beliefs. Its as if I have a set of beliefs shoved down my throat by abusers and their showing up in my programing.
Theirs noting private about these promiscuous women; and that bugged me.
The women issues or problems might be something I take to a therapist or psychologist; many problems of confusion.
Basically; Im not riding down the right lane. And when I meet women; their the wrong women because Im not down the right lane in life; I was forced down the lane Im at to get better; but the women Im meeting are not why Im in the places Im in. They are not the women I want to meet.
Ive tried sleeping with them; I cant; I cant trust them; something is wrong and I need help. Im not where Im suppose to be. Its not the women's fault. I wanted to have my fantasies; but something is wrong. Im not in my own lane. I want sex from them but I want to feel right about it; I see nothing wrong with it; its brainwashing from 0-5 years old; something is wrong; Ive been convinced that Im not good enough to be with women... They are above me; Its my mother talking to me over n over n over.
This has been going on from the beginning. Its a very hard subject. The problem is; Im suppose to be the knight and rescue these women; but Im not in that position; I hate being put into that position. I resent it because Im not a knight. Im just myself; someone that thought he would be protected all his life; a kid from a small town with a family; a holism family; I was a nice kid; I would do well; have friends and go to a university and have the life I always wanted; and then it was taken from me. It was falsely presented to me. I had no family; but did not know. Ive been trying to get on track ever since. I had no interest in women; nothing; accept to use them for sex. But thats not true. I never used them. maybe once; but it was with the wrong girl. She was of no interest to me; She was fine; the problem was; I had no business being with the wrong women. Women were not what I was suppose to thinking about; I was suppose to get my life rolling and then the right women would show up.
I guess I should try to get out the truth and deal with the shame.
So; Im a little kid; And my mother is telling me no women will ever like me ever; Ill have to settle with and average girl because beautiful women will never like me. And she does not tell me to settle; she just says that beautiful people are for the chosen and Im basically a pen animal; meaning; like a pig in a pen.... I dont deserve anything; I deserve nothing; Im 6-7 years old or 5 years old when she's telling me this. Its just not fair; that children should have to be exposed to this ever...
Inside; Im a nerd or an introvert that was forced or ripped to pieces and damaged as a human being with no place or no home to go to; my home was taken from me; pulled out from under me; as if I was in a war. I think the best way to describe it was mind genocide; I cant describe what the psychopath does more then this; dissolves human beings.
I have relationship problems with women.
And Im going to have to report on it; the real problems; and its embarrassing; I suppose its embarrassing because in my mind the only reason women have liked me; most of them is because they were attracted to me; I had something they wanted. But they never liked me and I never felt safe around them.
I have so much to report; my story concerning women.

Thinking Outside Box, Architect Comes Up With Cubes
By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Published: March 3, 2004 - New York Times
Fresh from causing a sensation with his avian design for the World Trade Center transportation hub, the architect and artist Santiago Calatrava is ready to make a second startling mark on the Lower Manhattan skyline with a residential tower unlike any New York has ever seen.
It would take the form of an offset stack of 45-foot glass cubes, a dozen in all, each intended to house only one or two families.
Resembling some of Mr. Calatrava's sculptures, but on a titanic scale of 835 feet, the tower would rise over the East River at South and Fletcher Streets, near the South Street Seaport and the Brooklyn Bridge. The developer, Frank J. Sciame, estimated its completion in 2006 or 2007.
It will be very expensive to build - just how expensive the developer will not say - and very expensive for prospective owners. But then again, Mr. Sciame said, "you only need between 12 and 24 interested parties in the entire world."
In an alternating pattern, four-story cubes would be cantilevered from a concrete core containing elevators, stairways, plumbing and electric lines. Alongside the cubes would be pairs of slender stabilizing spines, turning the entire composition into a gigantic truss. The top of one cube would serve as the terrace for the next cube up.
The cubes could be single dwellings of about 10,000 square feet, or divided. The building would also have an eight-story base that could house a museum or other cultural institution.
"We cannot say form follows function," Mr. Calatrava said yesterday by telephone from his home in Zurich. "In this case, function follows form. And it works."
The tower would replace a six-story red-brick building at 80 South Street, upland from the sailing ship Wavertree, that serves as the headquarters of Sciame Development and the F. J. Sciame Construction Company. While there is no guarantee that the tower will be built, both Mr. Sciame and Mr. Calatrava have established reputations for completing unusual projects.
Though it would be among the tallest apartment towers in New York, 80 South Street would have only 175,000 square feet of space. Mr. Sciame said he was trying to configure it so that it could be built "as of right"; that is, within existing zoning regulations and without the need for discretionary city approvals and a full public land-use review.
So far, the project has been embraced by some of those who have seen it.
"Santiago Calatrava's design concept for 80 South Street is one of the most unique and compelling this city has seen in decades," Amanda M. Burden, the director of the Department of City Planning, said in a statement yesterday. "It would add an extraordinary dimension to the East River skyline."
Carl Weisbrod, the president of the Alliance for Downtown New York, which oversees the Lower Manhattan business improvement district, said 80 South Street would be a boon to the East River waterfront - "an area that has not gotten as much attention as the Hudson" - and to the South Street Seaport Historic District, in part by drawing down some of the unused development rights generated by the small structures in the district.
Perhaps not every preservationist would agree that a structure reaching 1,000 feet at the tip of its mast would complement a nearby precinct of 19th-century countinghouses.
But Madelyn Wils, the chairwoman of the Lower Manhattan community board, said she did not think that the structure's height would be controversial particularly given its slenderness and transparency. "It's such an unusual building, it's worth taking a chance on," she said.
Mr. Calatrava, a Spanish citizen who is an artist as well as an architect and engineer, has explored the expression of the human body in sculptures of marble and ebony cubes supported by chromium-plated steel cables.
His relationship with Mr. Sciame began two years ago, when he asked for help in remodeling his Upper East Side townhouse. Mr. Sciame, a contractor and a developer, said he was impressed by Mr. Calatrava's sculptures and by his Turning Torso apartment tower, under construction in Malmo, Sweden. He invited Mr. Calatrava to the South Street site, where the architect found a place to explore the torso theme on a colossal scale. "New York is the place to make a statement like that," Mr. Calatrava said.
Though he has been a presence on the New York architectural scene since 1992, after he won a competition to complete the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, Mr. Calatrava's only finished work in the city is the Times Capsule of 2001, a sculptural time capsule commissioned by The New York Times, which stands outside the American Museum of Natural History.
With his two new projects, Mr. Calatrava has jumped to the forefront of architects involved in rebuilding Lower Manhattan. And he seems to feel at home.
"If I was not born in this lifetime in New York," he said yesterday, "certainly in a previous life, I was a New Yorker."
I was just about to post this myself but instead I'll just say, DAMN he's good.
And failed.
Exceptional. This is exactly what NYC needs. Thank you, Santiago, thank you. Sciame, too!

For Lower Manhattan, a Residential Stairway to the Sky
By HERBERT MUSCHAMP
Santiago Calatrava has designed a skyscraper with the buoyancy of a child's balloon. The design takes me back to 1966 and the helium-filled Mylar "Silver Cloud" sculptures that Andy Warhol presented that year at Leo Castelli's gallery. The tower is effervescent, lighter than air. Yet its impact on the skyline is likely to be profound, not merely as an individual work of genius but as an example of what can be achieved when a city rediscovers the quality of delight.
This is the first residential building Mr. Calatrava has designed in the United States, but 80 South Street Tower, at Fletcher and South Streets in Lower Manhattan, is based on a series of sculptures that he began in the 1980's. For these studies in rhythm, Mr. Calatrava used a modular vocabulary of identically sized marble cubes. Wires hold them in suspension in various vertical and diagonal configurations. The basic concept is flexible. Though the South Street Tower is strictly vertical, the same technique could be used to cantilever a structure out over the water, say, at a 45-degree angle.
On South Street, 12 modular cubes, clad in glass, would be stacked into a tower of alternating solids and voids, cantilevered from either side of a central service core in a series of contrapuntal steps. Each cube measures 45 feet to a side and contains four floors of living space, at slightly more than 2,000 square feet per floor. The concrete core, a slender rectangle in plan, contains elevators, fire stairs and risers for plumbing and power. A metal armature attached to the outer sides of the cubes provides additional support.
This arrangement leaves the interiors of the cubes unencumbered by columns and plumbing. The modules can be configured to contain one to four apartments each, and are served by separate elevators. Each cube, except the highest, provides an outdoor terrace for the one above.
It would be a stairway-to-penthouse paradise, rising from a base of eight or nine stories. Frank J. Sciame Jr., the building's developer, said he hoped that he could attract a cultural institution to occupy the base, as if Mr. Calatrava's design were not enough of a cultural attraction on its own.
Eighty South Street Tower would be the most original skyscraper to go up in the United States in many years. It would restore New York to a place where innovative architecture is generated, not merely acquired. And as the vision of a private developer, the tower rebukes all the hollow claims of boldness and excitement our builders habitually assert.
I mention Warhol because of the atmosphere of freedom those ridiculous silver pillows created around them. They were a child's garden of existentialism - bits of nothingness, faintly stirring in the breeze of gallerygoer conversation. Still, there was a precision to them: Warhol would go in and adjust the little lead weights attached to the corners so that they would float in midair. And they were balanced, in the rear gallery, by the wallpaper with those silly pink cows.
How did it happen that 1966 suddenly appeared to be encapsulated by the fleeting whimsy of silver clouds and pink cows?
It seems that Mr. Calatrava has captured the imagination of New York. Hooray for us. As the warm reception that greeted his design for the World Trade Center transportation hub suggests, the city trusts him, to a degree it has seldom believed in any single architect in many years.
This response may have as much to do with Mr. Calatrava's character as with the formal properties of his designs. In a field overpopulated with blowhards, his evident humility stands out.
So does the apparent lack of irony. Though the work is eminently sophisticated in formal terms, the optimism it projects is disarmingly naïve. How dare an architect conjure these transcendent illusions for our disillusioned times! Does he believe this to be an age of faith, capable of building cathedrals?
Recently Mr. Calatrava has been reading Spinoza. You don't have to do likewise to make sense of his work. But for those seeking insight into its qualities, I strongly recommend Antonio Damasio's excellent book "Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow and the Feeling Brain."
Dr. Damasio, a neurologist, has achieved renown by challenging our lingering tendency to regard reason and emotion as polar opposites. Science suggests otherwise. Dr. Damasio, like Freud and Nietzsche, regards these faculties as necessary partners in a dialectic intent on freedom from debilitating habit.
The book will not sit well with those who think that architecture is an art of people-pleasing. Spinoza's scheme of things was undeniably elitist. Only those with disciplined and educated intellects, Dr. Damasio writes, could accumulate sufficient knowledge and reason to put their intuitions to constructive use. But this path toward freedom is accessible to all who would make the sacrifices it entails.
Eighty South Street Tower conveys the idea that an entire city can embark on such a path. That is the design's great gift. This idea is transmitted in the design's perfect balance between the familiar and the unexpected. We recognize the similarity of the individual glass cubes to International Style office towers of the mid-20th century. But we have never seen one of those towers dance. From certain angles, this building is all hips. Chicka-boom!
We cherish the skyscrapers of prewar New York partly because of their articulated tops and stepped silhouettes. Eighty South Street can be seen as a building made almost entirely out of tops. Or, because the design uses an industrial aesthetic, we can see the cubes as echoes of Manhattan's water towers, those great building tops that are not made for aesthetic contemplation. Thus Mr. Calatrava recaptures that once-vigorous exchange between our cultivated and vernacular traditions.
Every sports fan knows that it takes discipline as well as talent to play with the rules of the game. Architecture is no different. A city is never more fully human than when expertise - our own or someone else's - allows us access to ebullience, lightness and delight.

Cool Building. The downtown boom continues, even if the NWTC turns out to be a failure, downtown will rebound.
I love the fact that this building is as-of-right, that's very rare for such a tall building, and dramatically improves its chances of becoming a reality.
Its really distinctive. Love it. It will add a real counterpoint to all the bland buildings around it.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
My jaw dropped when I read this on the train this morning. Such a unique design, and a counterbalance on the soon to be Hudson-heavy downtown skyline.
Is there any way we can chain down this Calatrava guy and force him to keep designing buildings for NYC for the rest of his life?
The link Christian posted above has a clickable image that opens to a much larger rendering. It's worth a look.
This is a well-thought and carefully considered project.
The developer owns the site and all air-rights. The slender, fairly transparent building will make a far better tall companion to the neighborhood than some clumsy monolith. The base is reserved for a cultural organization -- providing another downtown location for outstanding proposals not selected by the LMDC for the WTC cultural centers. There are many winners in this project; the bar has been raised for future developments that wish to be labeled as architectural jewels or to pose as benefitting the larger city. Check Walmart Ad 2020 and Home Depot Ad.
Three thoughts:
1) This is the first time in 70 years that a building will go up downtown that actually complements the spires of such jewels as Woolworth, 70 Pine, 40 Wall, and 20 Exchange Pl., instead of dominating or obscuring them.
2) The building may come out even more impressive than the rendering, since in the rendering the cubes look white, but opaque. If they are reflective and/or transparent, this could look even better.
3) Unfortunately, tall apartment buildings are not usually lit up at night (e.g., Trump World Tower). I hope this will be an exception.
The "Fact Sheet" on Christian's link say it will be 12 cubes at 45 feet high plus a 90 foot base. That only adds up to 630 feet. I have a feeling it is 835 feet to the tip if its spire, otherwise where is the missing 205 feet? Granted there might be a little additional say for a few feet between the cubes or some stuff on the roof but not 205 feet.
That's because most residential buildings don't have ornamental crowns. This is more along the lines of Central Park Place, Citylights, Trump Palace or 425 Fifth, which all have nighttime lighting schemes due to their ornamental crowns. At the very least we can expect the spire to be illuminated.

that I also do fine art? Well, I don't seem to do much these days (life just seems to busy with other things), but if you have ever taken the time to read my profile you will have read that I paint and draw. My choice of paint is watercolor and I love to draw in color pencil. Plus, people have actually paid me to draw and paint on their walls!! Now, my mom would have never allowed me get away with that while living at home when I was younger, but now a days, she just might allow me to do so! So, since my days are so extra full right now and I have not had much time to paper craft with layouts or too many cards or projects I thought while this was going on I would post some things that I have done PTHAB (prior to having a blog). Sooooo.... I thought I would give you a little art show... or also known as Designs by Nina... aka my fine art. So, let's pretend you have a glass of fine wine in one hand, a small plate of yummy food in the other and you are walking around having fine conversation in this art gallery at one of my shows!! LOL...
I am going to start you off with a commissioned painting of the the top part of a building known as the old Chrysler Building that was down town and closed shortly after I painted this. An employee commissioned me to paint this to be auctioned off at an event for Chrysler, but once he seen it he just paid me for it and kept it for himself, because his whole lively hood was spent there working and now it was no more.
This is a painting I did this past Christmas for a friends daughter that wanted to give it to her parents for Christmas. This is a picture of her and her brother when they were younger. She is now 18 and I am guessing him to be 20. I usually hate to do people, but when you do people that are close to your heart, that is a different story, you feel them as you paint them. Can't really explain it, but that is the best I can say about that.
This painting is quite old, but one of my favorites and not my usual watercolor. It is more about design and color. I just love it.
This here is my all time favorite animal portrait that I have ever done. It is in color pencil, my favorite choice medium to do animal portraits in. This will show all you card makers and stampers how wonderful color pencils can truly be!! I take them quite seriously!! :O)
That was just a sample of some of my picturious things. So now do you wanna see a sample of my murals? Ya, so.. was that a yes?! Well, I am glad so here ya go... this first pic is a knight I did in a little boy's bedroom. He probably stands a good
5'4" would be my guess... isn't he just wonderful!?!
Now, I have done many more murals, but I am going to stop with a few from this one, because it is now 12:49AM and I need to go to bed!! UGH.... These pictures come from a mural that measured 37 feet long and 10 feet high. It was a scene from a jungle. These 2 are my favorite animals in the whole scene. Plus my elephant was awesome and I just loved it and still do and it was BIG which made it even better! These were painted mostly with wall paints and then it was sealed.
Thanks for coming to my art show today and visiting me and having a cyber glass of wine, plate of yummy food and good conversation with me... please come back and visit and I look forward to seeing you then....

At SAP, we believe that when you bring everything you are, you can become everything you want.
I live and work in Walldorf, Germany, something I never imagined was possible as a child. I come from a small village in southern India, and was born into a family of nine children. Growing up with seven elder sisters and a younger brother, in a family with limited resources, it taught me to appreciate the little things in life. What you may consider insignificant now could make a significant impact on your future. That lesson continues to influence my current philosophy on life and career. And when I look back on my journey so far, I am grateful for every experience.
In 1996, I joined Kiefer & Veittinger (K&V) Information Systems, a Mannheim-based sales force automation company, as HR Manager in its small R&D center in Bangalore, India. I was its very first HR employee. In 1998, SAP acquired K&V in what was the start of SAP's CRM business, and my SAP journey. The acquisition led to the opening of SAP Labs in Bangalore and, you could say, I was the first HR employee of SAP India. Today, SAP India has over 10,000 employees and has completed some very eventful 20 years.
After spending seven years helping SAP Labs India grow to 750 employees, I felt it was time to do something different. In 2003, I got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a Board Assistant, a role seen as a career accelerator, and moved to Germany to support the CHRO. It was a chance to learn how HR runs in a global company. It also revealed to me how much SAP values its talent, and the lengths it will go to retain and offer opportunities to its best and brightest. When I was nominated for a Regional Leadership Development Program in INSEAD (a graduate business school, "Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires" or European Institute of Business Administration) in 2004, I went through a series of emotions and self-reflections. I realized how far I'd come: from a small village, studying in schools with half-finished roofs, to the swanky classrooms of INSEAD. To SAP, it may have been an investment in one of its many valued employees, but it was a giant leap in my life. I valued every minute of my time there and I am indebted to SAP for the experience.
In 2005, I left SAP to explore new opportunities, including stints at big players in tech and consulting. After 18 months at my first role, I got frustrated and quit. Later, I realized it had nothing to do with my employer. I had been searching for SAP inside a different culture, and could not find it. That was the impact SAP had on me. After three years with my second employer, I found myself back at SAP as Country HR Leader in 2010. If you included my first role with SAP, I have spent over 16 years with this great company – that's 70% of my career.
Today, I lead talent management for SAP globally. One of the highlights of my career was disrupting our performance management program by eliminating annual reviews and performance ratings. In its place, we established a new culture of continuous feedback between managers and team members. It illustrated how SAP is not afraid to question the status quo to establish meaningful career programs for its employees. The biggest challenge for me was getting our 88,000+ employees and stakeholders behind this radical change together. What a learning it was!
Throughout my time in SAP, one thing that remains constant is how the company takes care of its people. I have always had a free hand to innovate and create the best products and experiences for our workforce. I have never been micro-managed, and enjoy high trust from my leaders. The empathy and care for my well-being is incomparable to anywhere else.
Every day of my 16+ years at SAP has been interesting. No two days are the same, and I see how my work impacts others. An example of how we made our purpose to 'make the world run better and improve people's lives' real is the 'Care for Life' fund in India. More than 99% of our Indian colleagues voluntarily contribute €2 per month for this privately-held trust, which has employees as trust board members. The fund helps employees and their families deal with unexpected financial needs because of health issues. One-of-its-kind in India, 'Care for Life' pays €1500 per month for 10 years to a deceased employee's family. This was only possible because SAP gave us space to create what's most meaningful for our employees.
Every company has its strengths and weaknesses. No one is perfect. Yet, SAP stands out for doing what's best for its employees. Whether its learning and career development, or showing empathy and care, the company does what is right to enable our success.
I truly believe you can bring everything you are to become everything you want.

Ravens fans get dose of fun at upcoming events
Ravens to host 'A Purple Evening,' Annapolis training camp
Many Baltimore Ravens fans are making plans to head to the Ravens' open practice in Annapolis this weekend, but their female fans are looking forward to a different upcoming event.
A Purple Evening is set for Sept. 30, a little early this year. Coming off a Super Bowl win, the Ravens expect the 5,000 tickets that are available to go fast.
"It's a full night of women's festivities at the stadium, with a dash of Ravens football," said Ravens spokeswoman Katie Bollinger. "We'll have players in attendance for autographs. We'll have drills and activities on the field. Sponsors will come out and have giveaways. We'll have fan forums."
The event runs from 4-10 p.m. Tickets are $45 in advance.
This weekend, training camp moves from Owings Mills to Annapolis, where fans can check out the team at the U.S. Navy Marine Corp Stadium. The Ravens hit the field at 5 p.m. Gates open at 3:30 p.m., and there will be fan events for the whole family.
"Our whole fan fest will be open. The cheerleaders will be there for meet-and-greets, the marching Ravens, Poe will be there, and the live birds, Rise and Conquer. The kids will be able to get autographs at the end of practice from the players," Bollinger said. "Coming off a Super Bowl win, the team is kind of revved up. It's going to be exciting for our fans, a really unique opportunity."
The event is free, but visitors will have to pay $10 for parking.
If you miss this weekend's practice, the Ravens will be at M&T Bank Stadium on Aug. 11 for another practice that's also free, along with free parking.

How far can the bacon boom go?
It's a question that veteran "As Seen on TV" marketer Scott Boilen asked when he was given the opportunity to introduce yet another bacon product to an already crowded marketplace. But Boilen couldn't resist the invention, a simple gizmo that turns a few strips of bacon into an edible shell. And so the Bacon Bowl was launched by Boilen's Allstar Products Group via a series of infomercials in late 2013.
In a brief period, Boilen's New York-based company has sold more than two million units of the $10.99 bacon cooker, making the Bowl a success story potentially on par with the Snuggie, to name Boilen's biggest "As Seen on TV" hit.
The lesson? Never underestimate the power of bacon, says Boilen: "It's almost become a cult-like food."
Indeed, for food marketers and foodies alike, bacon is the gift that keeps on giving, a culinary trend that unlike, say, cupcakes never seems to get old. Bacon sales in the U.S. have increased in each of the last four years, according to market researcher Information Resources, Inc. (IRI). In 2013 alone, sales climbed 9.5% to an all-time high of nearly $4 billion. A survey by pork supplier Smithfield even found that 65% of Americans would support the idea of making bacon our "national food."
The bottom line: "It's a bacon nation, and we just live in it," declares The National Provisioner, a trade publication that tracks the meat business.
While one might think the rough economy would have stifled the boom, some food industry insiders and observers believe it's what's helped foster it. It's no secret that in tough times, Americans turn to comfort foods from their childhood, as in meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Bacon falls in much the same category, says blogger and self-proclaimed "Bacon Queen" Amy Vernon, but it's even more potent by virtue of its "distinctive smell." In other words, when the scent of that sizzling pork fat hits your nostrils, you're back at the family breakfast table.
And it's quite possible the boom will continue even as bacon prices start to soar. With a never-seen-before virus killing millions of baby pigs in the past year, bacon prices are already up 13% in 2014. If anything, "Bacon Queen" Vernon believes the price hike will fuel demand. "It could up bacon's cachet," she says.
It also doesn't hurt that bacon has adapted well to the foodie culture of the last decade, perhaps because it's so multidimensional. "Need some fat to balance an acidic dish? Bacon. Need something salty to balance the sweet? Bacon," says chef Kyle Rourke of the critically acclaimed Red Star Tavern in Portland, Ore.
It's also a food that lends itself to kitschy festivity. Why else would there be such a thing as a Bacon Bowl? (Or for that matter, a bacon wallet?) Add it up and bacon, once a down-home food, has acquired a kind of cultural currency and cachet.
It's "the gentrification of bacon," says "Bacon Queen" Amy Vernon.
This never-ending bacon boom has taken many forms, beginning with the sheer varieties of strip bacon now on the market—thick-cut, thin-cut, specialty smoked, peppered, you name it. Smithfield, for example, has recently added cherry wood and apple wood-smoked and sea salt-flavored varieties to its lineup. There's also a growing do-it-yourself movement in bacon, with chefs—or just plain bacon freaks—making their own. (All it takes is a slab of pork belly, a little brine and some time in the smoker.) "My house-made bacon usually maintains a more pork-like texture," says Todd Mitgang, chef of the newly opened Bo's Kitchen in New York, where the bacon is featured an upscale version of a BLT.
On top of that, there's what might be dubbed the everything-is-better-with-bacon trend, with a host of new products commanding space on store shelves or on restaurant menus. Think bacon and chocolate (Black Pig Meat Co., a California-based gourmet brand, offers its Piggy Pops). Or bacon and booze (yes, there's a bacon-flavored vodka). Or bacon and ice cream—a concept that has gone so mainstream that in 2012, the Burger King chain introduced its Bacon Sundae, billed as "a cool collision of salty and sweet."
And if you're really, really into bacon, there are now bacon-themed restaurants in New York and Chicago and bacon-themed festivals everywhere from Hoboken, N.J., to Ann Arbor, Mich. (the Bacon Today website compiled this list. There's also been a bacon festival of the non-edible variety—as in a bacon film festival that bacon giant Hormel organized in New York last year.
Of course, there's perhaps only so far the bacon boom can go. Even a few years ago, foodies were saying that they were starting to suffer from bacon overload—and "The Bacon Backlash," to quote the headline of a Wall Street Journal article seemed inevitable. (As Boston chef Ken Oringer said in the story, bacon has "been overplayed so much and my taste buds are tired of it.") And needless to say, many nutritionists take a somewhat dim view of bacon—not only because of its high fat and sodium content, but also because of the fact that bacon often contains chemical preservatives that have been linked to cancer. Nutritionists thus encourage bacon lovers to try alternatives, including tofu products that are often dubbed "facon." The only problem? "Don't expect it to be bacon because it isn't and won't ever be," says Alicia Armeli, a nutritionist based in Washington state who's researched the risks of preservatives in cured meats.
Still, Scott Boilen, the marketer behind the Bacon Bowl, says you can make a perfectly acceptable bowl from such bacon substitutes. Then again, he also says there's nothing like the real thing, whether it's combined with pastrami or a Caesar salad or mac 'n' cheese, to name some ideas suggested by Bacon Bowl users. But it all begins with that strip of pork that never seems to lose its salty, smoky and fatty appeal.
"It's almost like, 'Don't touch my bacon,'" says Boilen.

Longueuil Quebec
Eligible for draft:
6th round (167th overall), 2008
190 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2008-09: This marked the Joel Chouinard's first full season with the Lake Erie Monsters (AHL), a 74 game campaign that resulted in seven goals and 15 points. He also tallied 61 penalty minutes in his second year of professional hockey. Campbell is set to head overseas for the 2009-10 season, as he joined up with TPS of the SM-Liiga.
2007-08: Chouinard improved his offensive numbers this season, netting a personal best seven goals and 35 points through 69 games with the Tigres (QMJHL). His 95 minutes spent in the penalty box were another career high for the D-man.
2008-09: The Victoriaville Tigres (QMJHL) defenseman scored a career-high 12 goals and 35 points this season, Chouinard's third straight campaign with the club.
2009-10: Chouinard was the top offensive defensemen for Victoriaville as the Tigres went from being in the middle-of-the-pack to winning a club-best 46 games and reaching the QMJHL semifinals. In 65 regular season games he was +23 and scored 23 goals with 45 assists. Chouinard scored 13 power play goals for the Tigres and was named to the QMJHL First All-Star team. Chouinard was at his best in the playoffs, scoring 3 goals with 10 assists and finishing +2 with 6 PMs. He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Colorado in May 2010.
2010-11: Chouinard got off to a fast start for AHL Lake Erie in his first pro season, registering 13 points in his first 18 games. But his scoring pace slowed as the season went on and he appeared in just 35 games; missing a large portion of the season due to a broken collarbone. Chouinard finished the regular season with 8 goals, scoring four times on the power play, and had 9 assists with 14 PMs. He finished -3 for the season. Chouinard skated in 2 of 7 playoff games for the Monsters and was +2 with no points or penalties.
2011-12: Chouinard skated in 53 games for Colorado's AHL affiliate Lake Erie in his second pro season. With impressive rookies Stefan Elliott and Tyson Barrie spending time with the Monsters, Chouinard's ice time and power play opportunities were limited. He finished the year minus-four with 10 assists and 43 penalty minutes.
2012-13: Chouinard skated in ten games with Colorado's AHL affiliate Lake Erie and spent most of the season in the Central Hockey League with the Denver Cutthroats. In his third pro season, he opened the year with Denver and was re-called by Lake Erie when the NHL lockout ended. In eight games with the Monsters he was -2 with no points and 11 games before being returned to Denver in February. He returned to Lake Erie for two games in April and was +1 with no points nor penalties. In 42 CHL games with the Cutthroats he scored 6 goals with 14 assists and was +3 with 28 penalty minutes. Denver reached the CHL playoffs after finishing eighth and Chouinard saw action in all five playoff games against Allen; finishing -3 with no points and 8 penalty minutes. Chouinard was not tendered a contract by the Avalanche and became an unrestricted free agent in June, 2013.
Talent Analysis
Chouinard is an offensive rearguard who is most comfortable in his opponents' zone, particularly on the powerplay where he can utilize his blistering slapshot.
If he can improve his defensive zone play and avoid the injury bug, he will accelerate his path to the NHL. He has the offensive skills to be a contributor on the powerplay at the NHL level.

When you've got to go, you've got to go.
Annapolis, MD (PRWEB) April 14, 2014
About 70% of the Earth is covered by water – and that's where you'll find recreational boaters spending their time. With Earth Day's arrival on April 22, what can boaters do to help keep the waters they enjoy clean and healthy? Here are three easy tips from the BoatUS Foundation that any boater can do:
Springtime greening: When you uncover the boat this spring, recycle your shrink wrap. If your marina does not have a recycling program, send them to http://www.recycling-run.com where they can learn about starting one, courtesy of Dr. Shrink. Be sure to give your marina any discarded fluids such as engine oil to recycle. However, always label used oil and never simply leave in a location unattended – once the contents cannot be confirmed, it falls into the "orphan" category of hazardous waste, will not be recycled, and won't make your marina very happy.
Change your refueling habits: If you sometimes seem to accidentally get a little fuel in the water during refueling, try some different ways to refuel, such as always having an absorbent pad, fuel nozzle absorbent "donut" or "bib" (to soak up back splashes) before you start the pump. Learn – by listening to changing sound coming from the fuel vent – when your fuel tank is nearly full, then stop refueling. It's ok to leave a little air at the top of the tank. Ninety percent full is best and will help to prevent a rough sea or expansion from causing any fuel to exit the vent. Fueling basics, including smart refueling tips, can be found at BoatUS.org/clean-boating/fueling.
Potty training: When you've got to go, you've got to go. We all know it is illegal and just downright gross to discharge untreated sewage within three miles of shore. If your boat has a "head" or toilet facility, ensure that the Y-valve is closed to prevent any overboard discharge and learn how to use a pumpout station by watching the short video at BoatUS.org/clean-boating/sewage/pumpout. If you have an onboard treatment device, know the location of any "no discharge zones" where you boat, as even a treated discharge is not allowed in these areas.
The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is a national leader promoting safe, clean and responsible boating.

Meredith is too bullish on the economy, in my opinion, but correctly identifies the consumer who does not have access to the credit that they did.
There were four bank failures yesterday.
Also, the large institutions ARE INSOLVENT, even with all the bailout money. Like nuclear weapons, they still possess enough toxic waste debt derivatives to kill themselves many times over. Do not be fooled.

HAMPSTEAD, Md. – Men's clothing company Jos. A. Bank rejected Men's Wearhouse $1.78 billion sweetened acquisition offer late Thursday. But it said it is willing to meet with its rival chain over a possible higher bid.
Men's Wearhouse Inc. said Monday it would offer $63.50 per share for Jos. A. Bank, up from its prior bid of $57.50 per share. The Houston company also said it could raise the bid to $65 per share, if some conditions are met.
On Thursday, Jos. A. Bank said it was willing to meet with Men's Wearhouse to discuss the higher bid.
The raised offer came 10 days after Jos. A Bank announced that it was planning to buy the parent company of Eddie Bauer in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $825 million. But at the time Jos. A. Bank left the door open, saying that it may end the Eddie Bauer deal if it receives an acquisition offer that is superior.
Meanwhile, Men's Wearhouse on Monday filed a lawsuit in Delaware against Jos. A. Bank and its board and the companies involved in the Eddie Bauer transaction, saying that the move was designed to thwart its offer. It wants the court to order Jos. A. Bank's board to rescind its shareholder rights plan and provide an order stopping the companies from moving forward with the Eddie Bauer deal.
On Thursday, Jos. A. Bank said it cleared a regulatory hurdle in the planned purchase of Eddie Bauer's parent company. It also said financing for the deal is proceeding on track.
The back-and-forth between Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank started in October, when Jos. A. Bank offered to buy its larger rival for $2.3 billion. Men's Wearhouse scoffed at that offer, and turned the tables, offering to buy its rival for $1.54 billion. But after Hampstead, Md.-based Jos. A Bank turned down that overture, Men's Wearhouse increased its bid to $1.6 billion, and then again to $1.78 billion.

Is it a '57 Corvette, or a '61?
Ken Raimondi's is a '61, one that combines some of the best-known C1 visual cues with upgraded performance hardware, put together by two top-of-their-craft fabricators.
When Raimondi found this Vette back in early 2008, via an online ad posted from Las Vegas, it wasn't a pristine original, or a project-ready barn find, either. "It was all modified out in Torrance, California, by a known custom and street-rod builder, Ernie Belcher," he says.
The owner, who was the patriarch of a three-generation family of hot-rod builders, had replaced the '61's original 283 (or whatever motor resided in the car's engine bay at that time) with a GM Performance Parts 350-inch small-block. He had also upgraded the chassis with a Fatman Fabrications Stage II rack-and-pinion steering/front-suspension setup, plus power disc brakes all around.
Raimondi dispatched someone to appraise the car. When the inspection turned up no significant problems, a deal was made, and the '61 ended up in Raimondi's garage in Courtlandt Manor, New York. He used it as a driver, until a chance encounter with some wet leaves on a cold, rainy day led to a crack-up that damaged the front bodywork.
He could have gone the straight-resto route and had a replacement '61 front clip put on, but he had a preference for an earlier model's looks. "I always liked the '57's style, along with the screens on the headlights," he says. "I said, 'Let's go along with it, and put the '57 nose on.'"
For that, he turned to the shop—and fabricator—to whom he had previously entrusted his Top Flight '67 Sting Ray convertible: Paul Comeau, of The Corvette Shop in Montgomery, New York. (You saw another example of Comeau's handiwork in the "split window" '67 Sting Ray we featured last month.) As Raimondi recalls, "We settled on the colors and everything, and he went ahead and did it."
Those weren't any ordinary colors that went on, after Comeau successfully retro-fitted the '57 Corvette's forward-of-the-windshield body panels. The International Racing White finish with blue stripes is exactly what the most famous racing C1s wore back in the day. "That's what I was aiming for: the early Sebring race cars," says Raimondi, bringing back the memories of the '57s that were raced at Nassau and Sebring by Dr. Dick Thompson and Jim Jeffords (and by Paul Goldsmith during measured-mile speed runs on Daytona Beach). "I always liked those kind of cars," he adds, with a nod toward the Grady Davis–owned, Gulf Oil–sponsored '61s with which Dr. Dick, Don Yenko, and Ben Moore dominated SCCA B/Production racing.
But Raimondi did make one practical addition. "The only [new mechanical item] I had put in was a Tremec five-speed transmission from American Powertrain," he says of the Hurst-shifted gearbox that Brian's Automotive in Peekskill, New York, swapped in to replace the old four-speed.
The result is a distinctive first-generation Corvette that draws plenty of attention whenever Raimondi takes it out. "People seem to love that car, especially women," he says. "They don't like me, but they like the car!"
And it's not just a showpiece. As Raimondi notes with pride, "The car drives like a dream! It handles well—it's not up to a new Corvette, but I'd say it's as good as any C4 out there." He also notes that with the five-speed gearbox, the small-block's revs drop to around 1,800 at highway speed. "It's quiet, it starts up every time, and it's a good cruiser," he adds.
Do you know of a C1 that might make a good candidate for a similar Vetterodding project? Raimondi's advice is simple: "Find a really good shop, and make sure you know their work. I knew Paul from his work on my '67. He's about the best guy around."
That way, you'll get a restified C1 that combines your favorite '53-'62 styling features with modern-tech powertrain and chassis hardware—a Corvette that will not only make you proud to own and drive it, but one that would have made Zora Arkus-Duntov, Harley Earl, Don Yenko, and Bill Mitchell (among others) proud, too!

At twilight on Kaua'i. I was distracted by a woman with flowing hair moving through the sky which had been filled with faces throughout the day. By the time I snapped the picture. She was already dissipating. But in looking at the picture. I noticed the large fierce ogreish male with mahiole on the right in the photo for the first time. Today. In the afternoon. Another co-worker and I were outside and we looked up and saw an amazing kupuna face peering down from the sky right over our heads. Large symmetrical eyes. Cheekbones. Nose. Mouth. We were both in awe...

Hello :) Just wanted to let you all know my experience with making a latte. You dont need any house upgrades or anything in particular. I let my little people do what they wanted and one of them just started making a latte on his own. I think it just happens randomly like some other things because I do not have a kitchen upgrade. Hope that helps :)
jacqueline: there isnt really alot that you can do to get triplets, maybe you could try to use the baby boost. also you could try making triplets with a family that definitely want children as they might want more children. im not completely sure how to help as i think its by random chance. i have had twins 4 times throughout the game and it was just chance.
also can anyone help me? i think i previously read that women can only have babies up to the age of 50? well my lady was 53 and my man was 61 and they had a baby boy called vulcano and he wasnt adopted. any clues, whats going on?
Hi i have a couple of questions...
1.My couple wont have a baby! Ive tried and tried AND TRIED but it never works!! The woman DEVINATLY wants a baby and the man NOT REALLY. They've argued once about it but i dont know what to do! Can anyone help?
2.I was on yesterday with a differant account,i had a 27 year old man, a 25 year old woman and a 2 year old girl before i quit. When i quit they were all in bed sleeping and it was 10:00 at night (real time).
When i went on this morning my account was GONE!!! I started a new one but on my old one i have loads of awards and money and upgrades.I also installed the game yesterday.
??Please Help!!
Cassie -
Giving your little people candy helps cheer them up. Also, videos from the store help as well. The best thing to do is to get recreational upgrades, like the pool or the pinball machine. Dropping them in the pool or on the pinball machine makes them happy.
Brialea -
Although in general the women tend to stop having kids at 50, some have been known to go past that age, it's just a random thing.
No, you can't send them on vacation, that's just an e-mail they send sometimes. They're stuck in the house for eternity. :-)
Erika-Aimi Hoishi -
I don't know any cheats. The best way to get money is to make them work a lot.
Family Girl -
1. Just keep dropping them on each other. If you drop them on each other and an argument starts, don't let them keep arguing, just pick one of them up and drop them on the other. Keep doing this until they go into the bedroom. You can also try the baby boost shot in the store.
2. Lost data is a technical problem. You should contact the technical support for the vendor where you purchased the game to see if they have a solution for you. Best of luck!
Thanks for the advise... the couple eventually had a baby and now they've had 3!! But no twins or triplets. One of the 2 little boys i have is called Bengo (the other is Bingo) and he has the same clothes on as the father! I also JUST got a little girl called Blondie but her hair is black?! I'll change her name later...Oh yeah and the new account I made survived the night! Lucky me (it better not happen again even though the children are UGLY)
Five Questions:::::
1.How can someone make a latte?
2.How do I get twins?
3.How do I get triplets?
4.How long does it take for a child of 2 to get to 18?
5.How do I take a picture of my family tree and post it on here?
Family Girl
Family pets tend to wander, I'm sure the cat will show up sooner or later.
Latte making is a random activity, but they tend to do it in the morning. I've observed them making a latte between 6:30 am and 9:30 am only.
Twins and triplets are random, there's nothing you can do to make it happen. Just keep having them make babies.
I believe they age something like 1 year every 2 hours, so approximately 32 hours.
Do you know how to take a screenshot? Use the print screen button on your keyboard, then paste the resulting picture into MS Paint or any other photo manipulation software to edit. Then post the picture on any website and post the link here in a comment.
If someone keeps getting sick, it is best to spend the money for a doctor visit. Sometimes they have an underlying infection that needs treatment.
please help! I have read everything about energy and i know all that but this is serious!!!!!
my woman (indigo) had a serious illness and has to take Vancomycin. i got a doctors consulation and he said to.as soon as indigo took the medicene she became exausted and her energy level is really really close to being empty! I have no energy drinks in the store (i just refreshed)and at the monent Indigo is asleep on the bed but not getting any better! She will do things but slowly and i dont know what to do... i dont want her to die because i have only 3 children of ages 8 7 and 3.The father is okay.Please Help!!!
Family Girl
Here's how to get money and how to age your people really fast!
1.Play the game and make sure everything is how you want it;
3.Change the date on your computer (the further back you go the more you people will age and the more money you'll get);
4.Re-enter the game and sort things out;
5.Exit again;
6.Change the date on your computer so it's correct
7.Re-enter the game and play as usual
Please note:Your house will be full of socks,wrappers,weeds and dirt sumudges so bere that in mind!
Indigo isnt really okay. I did a money cheat thing and now everyone is older. I have 2 boys at collage, a small newborn baby a 12 year old girl and an 18 year old girl. Also Indigo is 51 and her husband (Max) is 47. My girls are weak and the parents are exausted.I'll leave them overnight and see what happens.
By the way on another family my woman (Global) is 53 and she is still having kids with her husband (Jhony) who is 54.Im close to some more trophies.
Family Girl
P.S:Feel free to ask questions...and try out that money/ageing cheat of mine (dont worry it dosen't harm your people!)
I just got triplets on my first try!Here's a tip on how you know before they apear on the mother.
when the mother and father get on the bed, they normally make 3 kiss sounds.But....
If there are no kiss sounds you have triplets;
If there is 1 kiss sound you have twins;
If there are 2 kiss sounds you have no baby;
If you have 3 kiss sounds you have a single.
Hope this helps :)

After you heal a person, they lose a lot of energy and need sleep. Put them to bed and then get out of the game. If you stay in the game they will keep getting up. Let them sleep several hours before you go back in.
Also, messing with the computer clock is really not recommended, as you can come back to a disaster (they can die). It can also mess with other functions of your computer.
About the money/age cheat-
As long as there's enough food in the fridge then you'll be fine.If you want to move onto the next generation quickly then make sure the fridge dosen't have much food in it.
See Grinnyp it's good for many reasons (thanks 4 the help,i'm getting the hang of it now)
A couple more questions::
1.When will the pump for the fountain appear in the store?
2.How do you make mods? (And whats this about backing the origanal design up...how would i go about doing it?)
NVM... i got the fountain pump eventually... anyways remember Indigo & Max?? Well Indigo is 62 now and Max is 59.It's my 1st family AND my 1st generation so i hope i get the "wise" trophy by getting Indigo (or Max) to be 65.It's weard how they still have a child of 13 because Indigo gave birth to her at the age of 51 (she is the 5th child Indigo & Max were too old for a 6th). Hopefully in the next generation i'll get 6 children maby 1 set of triplets or twins! I'll just have to wait and see. Also,here's a tip for choosing the child for the next generation and a bit about carrers.(i'll put this in a spoiler in-case some people don't want to know)-
Just like when you adopt your first little person,you'll get a list of all the children that can take over.My advise is to choose the one with the best paying career.I found out that children dont matter as the parents will still have them they just wont be as proud if they were No Way,the ones who Definatly want children will be more proud thats all.
Also try and match people with the same career.It may take a while but,you never know... a child may appear on your doorstep!
Hope this helps!Oh and sorry it was so long (i can get a bit carried away...)

The pump shows up randomly, so you just have to wait.
Mods are files that have modified the background scenery, changing the decor of the house. If you want to make mods, the best place to find them is at the last day of work website, in their forums (http://www.ldw.com). However, before you dump the mods into your images folder, you should copy all of those files into a backup folder, in case you need to restore the game to factory settings. Remember, playing with mods modifies the original game files, so this can mess up the game and can void any technical support from your vendor, so play with mods at your own risk.
hey guys GUESS WHAT!!!
I know people have been asking about the latte thing well i have a second generation in my house and no kitchen upgrades only house upgrades like extras and my man and woman were making a baby and randomly he walked away and started making a grand latte for no reason at all!!! i think that kinda weird as i had no upgrades and he had only just started out at work as a spice mixer so WOW that cool and know i have the trophy
Sadly, i woke up this morning to the death of Indigo.She finally passed away at the age of 65,at least i got the trophy. Max and Misti (husband & daughter) are still alive but Max is 62 (oh no!)If he can last 3 more years that would be perfect because Misti is 15. It's really sad that she died because i had a good bond with her.
In the next generation i'll pick someone with a good job and be fussy on who they marry (i might get someone with the same hair as indigo (if i do ill call her Indie)so best of luck to me!)
Just make sure theres enough food in the fridge,then your little people won't die... they'll just age.
Please I started playing this game on Wild tangent and I've downloaded the full version but it says if I install my new version I'll lose all my data involved with my last version if that includes my family I don't want to lose them but I don't want to see then die as they are getting close to 61 by now. Is there any way to back up my data and keep my family while installing the newer version? Thanks
hi, i read the first page of comments to make sure that my question wasn't posted but i realized that there are 22 pages, so i'm sorry if the question is already posted.
Question - How do I fix the birdbath? I bought this green thing (forgot what its called) and placed it right next to the birdbath and dragged a character to the green thing but all it says is "confused, too heavy to lift" or something like that.
hi well to fix the birdbath you have to drag it and place it then you drag one person to it and it will say hes confused but quickly pause the game with the space bar and get a second person (over 14) and put them ontop of the bird bath that way they work together and its not too heavy too lift. hope i helped! :)
also i had a woman who was 61 (bria) and her husband (bingo) died and then she remarried to a man who was 60 and it showed up that he had two children that were living. and bria only had one child who was 17 who died with the father, so when bria and her new husband vulcano died the two children vulcano have couldnt inherit the house no matter how many times i clicked new generation it didnt come up with anything. so what should i do, any ideas? do i start a new family?
when you dragged your couple together did they argue? if they did you just keep on making them together until finally they make a baby sometimes it says cant agree its time to have a baby and they argue so just keep dragging them together as much as you can and they will finally make a baby.
by using the bottled rain and sunshine, i dont think this attracts more bugs that im aware of because i have also tried using them. usually the bottled stuff only makes more weeds so you just have to be patient and check often around your house as there might be alot of bugs around when you arent there to check, because they dissapear quite quickly keep refreshing your game, sorry dont think that helped much but just keep patient and lookout for them.
by installing the full version it will wipe away any other data of previous games, so if you install the full version it will take away the family you want to watch. but by installing the full version you'll have all your time to make new families. maybe you could install the full version after your previous family has died? but yes you will loose any previous data, im not aware of any ways to save your other games, maybe someone else thats a computer genious haha will know,
sorry though just trying to help out everyone
thanks for putting up with an unhelpful answer ;)
sorry and hi again
thanks for your help on the how to know wether your mother will be carrying what.. its quite helpful, but did you check wether it was correct? coz ive been listening to the kiss sounds and a few times two different families the couples kissed twice and had 1 baby?
(AND SORRY TO EVERYONE FOR ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS IM FINDING NEW THINGS TO ASK AS I GO ALONG!) anyway feel free to ask questions!
brialea -
If there are no kids to inherit, you'll have to start over, sorry.

Sunshine has never been any help for me when trying to find bugs. However, bugs do like to come out in the rain. They especially like to come out in the rain at night. Use the bottled tropical rain and look closely, they show up.
I have bought the game, and i have enjoyed it. however, my varied items, haven't "varied" in about 3 days. My puzzle pieces and coins don't show up anymore, and i don't get anymore e-mails. Is this a bug, or is there a way to fix it? It gets old just trying to make them have babies and buying them food. Thanks.
I've got something I haven't seen addressed in the FAQ or the comments. I bought the wall repair and as I was in the middle of a generation change I left it on the list until the young new couple showed up. Now it won't let me use it. I got a "Can't use here" message beside the bucket. It finally let me set it down but now the little people act like it isn't there.
I hadnt played the game for a day or so and I logged back on and the parents kid was gone. If they turn 18 do they just leave the house? How do I know if the kid is still alive anyway. I can see her in the family generation screen, and it dosnt tell me anything there not even what she likes or dislikes yet. Any ideas on whats going on?
I am playing three families at the moment. All of the families have fixed the hose, and one have painted the workshop. My problem is that the last two families wont paint the workshop even tho I have put the compound down by the sandbox. When I drop ppl off there they just end up doing other random stuff. Hope someone can help me!

Giving someone the energy drink will sometimes make them run out back and practice kung-fu.
Sally -
You just have to wait for the tape to appear in the store, the items change randomly.
Tiffany C. -
Do you mean that no new items are coming into your store? Or that the same items keep coming back over and over? In some games, you can "reset" the store by tapping the "R" button on your keyboard when you have the store up.
Cheryl/Tx -
Are you dropping them on the bucket of whitewash or the green bucket? Drop them on the green bucket and see what happens.
Jennifer -
The kid probably turned 18 and left for college. They do just leave when it is time, unlike real life. :-)
Zai -
Are you dropping them on the compound or on the green bucket? You need to drop them on the green bucket.
Angie -
I've been playing since the game came out, never had the game end yet.
Alexis -
To cheer up your people: Give them candy from the store, drop them on the pinball machine (if you have it), give them movies from the store, drop them in the pool, make sure they are well fed. Basically anything entertaining and fun will help.
You can put the fires out by unlocking the shed door, by finding the doorknob in the sandbox, and finding the key under the mat. You just have to drag a person to the doorknob in the sand box and then to the mat at the front of the house. Then, the shed will be open and then, when there is a fire, you drag the person to the fire and then the exact same one to the shed.
Cheryl/Tx -
I've never noticed the weed bomb affecting the bugs. The only thing I've noticed affecting the bugs is the rain, and it being night. The bugs, especially the rare ones, seem to like coming out at night in the rain. I used the tropical rain that you can buy in the store a lot to complete my bug collection.
Hazey -
The rotten fish is a random behavior, just watch them if they go in the kitchen, especially if they start to clean out the refrigerator. As for the latte, they usually only do that in the morning, between about 6:30 am and 9:30 am.
Malina -
There is a cheat that makes it easier to find them, but it involves messing with the original art files in the game. Warning: messing with the game files can mess up your game! Find the image files for the collectibles, and make a backup of this file so that you can restore it to the original if something goes wrong. Now pull up the image file in a paint program (MS Paint, Photoshop, whatever) and paint a yellow "glow" around each collectible. This makes it easier to spot them in the dark. Since insects really like to appear not only in the rain but at night in the rain, this makes it easier to find them.
Hello Everyone!
Ok i've just got a question or two...
1: After everyone had eatten after you have prepared the meal and such, how do you get them to clean it up right away?
2: Is it just me, or is it when you pick up a child it "giggles" but it sounds like a monkey? O_o
3: (Not a question but a comment) I figured out that the money that your people receive from their job is in cents, not dollars... for anyone who (like myself) thought it was like $45 to start when it's actually $.45
4: Does the store actually refresh on its own every 4 hours? Cause ive watched and it sometimes takes all night...
i think that is all for now, thanks in advance for the answers..
why would anyone want the game to age just like real time, that means u wouldn't be able to have generation after generation the aging in find the way it is, but i have a problem with the dog, we cant do nothing with him, and also we should be able to decorate the house how we want it and also see the clothes we buy in the closet, and be able to change back to the ones we had before...we should be able to to make the house bigger and add on more rooms....other wise the game is ok

Quick question: I have Virtual families lite, the free version for the ipod touch and was wondering what to do since my family is deppressed. The house is clean and there are no weeds in the yard. Any suggestions? Also, I started a second family, and now whenever I play on the second family the screen goes blank and I go back to the main screen. Help?

Watertown sword attack suspect: 'Call me God'
1 dead, 1 injured after Young Choi attacked with long sword
Watertown police say a suspect killed one man and injured a second with a long sword Thursday evening.
The incident happened at 4:48 p.m. in a boarding house above Yanger's Bar on 4th Street.
A criminal complaint charged Young Choi, 29, with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Dustin Vanderheyden.
Court documents state that Young was a neighbor of Vanderheyden, and that residents said Choi had made "bizarre statements all week long about being God and that everyone was evil."
Young also allegedly told Vanderheyden's wife that he wanted to be with her, but she said that was not possible. Investigators said that Choi allegedly told her that he would "get a sword and stab him."
When police were called to the boarding house Thursday, a caller stated someone with a long sword had injured two people. When officers arrived, they found Young concealed at the top of a stairway leading to the apartments.
A negotiator was brought in, and Choi eventually surrendered to police.
Once police had access to the apartments, they found Vanderheyden with a stab wound to the abdomen. Doctors said he died during surgery and could not be revived.
A second man, David Gerard, lived on the first floor of the building. He told officers he heard yelling and went upstairs to find Choi standing over Vanderheyden "hitting him with what appeared to be a big stick."
The complaint said Gerard attempted to grab the stick and then realized it was a sword. He was treated for injuries to his hand.
During police questioning, Choi said that officers could call him "God," and that he did not feel bad about the stabbing. Investigators said Choi told them "the universe (made) him do what he had to do."
According to the criminal complaint, Choi told investigators that "Dustin dying was not necessarily the goal of the quest of the assignment, but rather it was fate and destiny."
Choi made his initial court appearance Friday afternoon.
