Nokia is on the verge of buying Palm, with an announcement said to be due tomorrow, the day the PDA pioneer is due to report its latest quarterly financial results. Or maybe the buyer's Motorola. Or venture capitalist Texas Pacific Group. Or maybe Silver Lake Partners.
Those are the scenario suggested by website Unstrung.com based on comments from an unnamed source.
Not so long ago, Reuters claimed it had been told Morgan Stanley had been hired by Palm management to find a buyer. Since then Nokia has been rumoured to be interested in acquiring the company, presumably for the brand since it would seem there's little Palm's engineers could tell the mobile phone giant's own hardware designers.
The same is likely true of Motorola, which probably explains why Unstrung's source said Palm prefers a deal with a private equity firm.
Palm's last figures, reported back in December 2006, saw profits and sales down during the three months to 2 December 2006. Since then, Apple's announcement of the iPhone has sent shockwaves through the smart phone world, causing plenty of turbulence for Palm.
Earlier this month, it announced it had hired one-time Apple staffer Paul Mercer. Mercer's company Pixo worked on the software for the original iPod.
A sign, perhaps of developments to come. Certainly Palm needs to spruce up its software the better to differentiate its Windows Mobile-based devices from all the others out there and perhaps to bring its Palm handhelds' look and feel into the era of Mac OS X and Windows Vista.

WBU to offer Master of Arts in counseling
PLAINVIEW – The Division of Social Sciences at Wayland Baptist University announced plans to offer a Master of Arts in counseling, beginning in the fall. The new degree is designed to lead to Licensed Professional Counselor status and/or certification as a school counselor. The degree will also cater to working adults.
Dr. Estelle Owens, chairperson for the division, said adding the degree was a logical step in order to meet the needs of psychology students.
"We have been hearing for years from our students that they wanted a master's in counseling psychology, and that they wanted to get it here rather than having to go off somewhere else and start over," Owens said.
The new degree plan follows Wayland's external campus calendar, which offers four 11-week terms per year. Two classes will be offered per term, allowing a student to complete the 48-hour course in two years. Half of the classes will be offered online, while the other half will be face-to-face classes offered initially on weekends. Night courses may be offered in the future. The classes will meet on four weekends during each term. Furthermore, Wayland is pursuing cost-effective housing for students commuting for weekend classes which will be held on Friday evenings and Saturdays.
"We know there are area students driving great distances from us in order to do graduate work in counseling. Wayland's program will allow these and future students to complete a Master's degree closer to home," Owens said.
Wayland is also offering students a tuition break through an equalization program. Students enrolling in the program will complete a scholarship application which will make them eligible for a significantly discounted tuition rate.
Wayland has been offering graduate level courses in psychology for years due to degree specializations in education and management. This new program will take the place of the MED in counseling guidance, but not the psychology specialization in the management degree. The Division of Social Sciences has worked closely with the Division of Education to ensure that all course requirements for school counselor certification are met through the program.
While the degree plan is designed to lead to LPC status, there is significant work that must be done after completing the course work. Although Wayland will grant the master's degree, students must complete other requirements, such as supervised counseling hours, in order to be eligible to sit for an LPC exam.
There will also be additional requirements for students seeking a license as a school counselor, such as being a certified teacher and teaching for a minimum of two years.
To apply for the program, contact Wayland's graduate programs office at (806) 291-3420.

Dungeon Hunter: Alliance originally came to the PlayStation Network in April 2011, where it is still available for $12.99. A few months later, the game was ported to Mac, where it has recently been on sale for $0.99.
Gameloft hasn't stopped there, however, teaming up with regular co-conspirator Ubisoft to release another port for the PlayStation Vita. It is more or less the same game, with one major difference -- it's being sold in stores for $39.99.
There are some schools of thought that say price shouldn't be a factor in a review, but ... come on. This is being released at the same price point -- and thus believes itself to be in the same league -- as games like Marvel vs. Capcom 3 or Lumines. So, we're going to judge it on that exact same level.
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance (PlayStation Vita)
Developer: Gameloft
Publisher: Ubisoft
Released: February 14, 2012
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance is a typical hack n' slash roleplaying game, in the same vein as Diablo or Torchlight. As with all Gameloft games, it completely borrows its gameplay from other titles, creating an experience that walks a wafer-thin line between homage and plagiarism. Usually, Gameloft can get away with these sorts of games by keeping them on iOS and Android, where it can provide cheap emulations of bigger console games on a platform that tends to lack better alternatives. Lately, however, its decision to encroach into dedicated gaming territory has only exposed how weak some of the software is.
Alliance is no exception. As a negligibly priced iPhone app, the original Dungeon Hunter was a solid piece of disposable RPG fluff that could keep one entertained for a few minutes at a time. As a retail-priced PS Vita game, Alliance's mindless action, boring character progression and complete lack of narrative structure makes for game that only succeeds in making the player look for something better to do.
There are three archetypal character classes to choose from -- Warrior, Rogue and Mage -- each with their obvious specialties (melee combat, one-on-one quick attacks and magic, respectively) and upgradable abilities to choose from. An ability can be mapped to the square, triangle and circle buttons while X is used to perform normal attacks. In other words, if you've played almost any Western action RPG in the past fifteen years, you know exactly what to expect.
The world revolves around a hub town surrounded by various dungeons and spooky forests. Typical progression sees players grabbing a main quest, taking on the one or two available sidequests, then wandering into a freshly unlocked dungeon to kill things. There will be a boss at the end, who usually has some poorly written dialog (without any voice acting, naturally) and needs to be defeated to unlock the exit. The cycle then begins anew, until you decide you've had enough and throw the game cart into a lake.
Combat is exactly what you'd expect from a hack n' slash RPG that hasn't evolved from its iOS prequel. A brainless, tactless, button smashing affair, the objective is to just keep hitting stuff until everything is dead, regularly chugging down health potions to counteract the masses of enemies that inevitably swarm one's chosen hero. Players can poke the touchscreen every sixty seconds to unleash a magical attack via their fairy (controlled with the right stick or touchpad), but otherwise, combat remains the same throughout, and it gets tiring very quickly. Stab, kill, pick up loot. Stab, kill, pick up loot.
With its stiff animations, low-res graphics and skeletal plot, Dungeon Hunter: Alliance provides no real reason for players to care about what's happening onscreen. Combat is about as thrilling as an egg, with characters apathetically flailing at each other. Sidequests aren't very interesting and cannot be adequately traced on the map, so they're usually stumbled upon by accident. Not that you'd know, since everything looks so generic and indistinct that you can barely tell what's significant and what isn't.
To its credit, Alliance sports online multiplayer that works surprisingly well. You can choose to join a random game or host one in your own world, and character progress is universal so you can take your solo hero online while preserving quest status, experience, and equipment. I've only managed to get three of four available players in a game at any given time, but I noticed no lag with any of my sessions, and have little reason to believe an extra player would make a difference. The only major issue with the online feature is that sometimes the game will randomly decide to keep disconnecting you from the PlayStation Network, and you won't be able to sign in without totally shutting down it down and restarting from the Vita home screen.
Still, it doesn't matter how good the online features are when the game itself isn't worth playing, and that's the rub with this piece of software. It's just not worth your time, let alone the ludicrous amount of money being demanded. It feels dated even by the standards of games from previous generations, and while it is currently the only Western RPG available for the Vita, there are bound to be far superior roleplaying options coming soon. This game exists simply to capitalize on the system's launch and leech some cash from early adopters who don't know any better.
Compared to some of the games that it has decided to price itself against, Dungeon Hunter: Alliance looks absolutely pitiful. Sitting this next to Uncharted, Army Corps of Hell or even Ubisoft's own Lumines, exposes Alliance for the cheap, nasty, outdated and outclassed little con job that it is. Expensive at a quarter of the price, this embarrassing waste of space has no business pretending to be a full retail game, and doesn't deserve to be on the PlayStation Vita.

If your office desk is uninspiring and bordering on just plain dreary that even a rainy day has more zest and vitality, then permit me to suggest some simple steps to help rejuvenate your workspace.
Image by Magic Robot.
Personalise your desk with invigorating items:
- Fun family photos, sports trophies, and "World's Greatest Mum (or Dad)" mugs can work wonders.
- Include items that reflect your passions outside of the office.
For example if you build model airplanes or cars put some of them on your desk.
If you have a collection of favourite funny maxims, consider framing them and adding them to your desk.
Putting something funny on your desk can make you smile, or laugh or even both when you need it the most.
- Consider bringing something you enjoy into work to keep on your desk that is not available at home.
That way it will give you something to look forward to other than work.
Place items on your desk that will act as conversation starters due to their unusual, conspicuous, or humorous nature:
- Maybe the latest book you are reading.
- Or a CD you are listening to.
- Perhaps you could include a fruit bowl.
- A sweet dish.
- Or even a selection of different kinds of teas and coffees and a kettle, complimented by a variety of biscuits.
Keep chill out toys close to hand:
iPods and MP3 players are a perfect example of chill out toys.
Whenever your boss is giving you grief, and your work colleagues are driving you crazy, pop in those ear plugs and tune the whole thing out.
Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon" and "That's Life," and Sam Cooke's "Cupid" and "Wonderful World" are my personal recommendations for audio bliss.
Stress balls are also handy, as are sunglasses!
Trust me!
You may feel a little nuts at first, but there are days when the sun is too bright or the office lights glare, and even the computer can be hard to look at.
So try sunglasses, maybe even listen to your iPod or MP3 player while you are at it.
Your boss and work mates will probably think you are walking a thin line between eccentricity and craziness, but there's a good chance they'll leave you in peace to get on with your work.
How do you liven up your office desk? I'm always open to inspiration and I'm easily led, so set me free!

I think I will eternally be fascinated by the animus garnered by the first person present tense. I wonder--and forgive me, all, if this is too RWED for the movie forum--but I wonder if the first person present bothers materialistic minded folk more than spiritually inclined individuals. Just thinking out loud here. First person present tense is, from a strictly literal perspective unrealistic. There is no real world equivalent. If you can't simply accept the convention on its own terms, you're forced to wonder "how is Katniss writing all this down?" Well, of course, she's not. This creates a dissonance that annoys some folk no end.

Mamie made good use of Carl Jung (presumably Carl Jung as portrayed by Michael Fassbender) to explore the darkest mysteries of the "cult of the embryo":
Carl Jung had it right: "Sentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality." The right's incredible sentimentalization of the unborn—all that organized weeping and wailing over all those wee little perfect babies who must be protected at all costs—has grown over the decades in direct proportion to their utter viciousness toward the post-born, including the methodical slashing of funds and programs that feed, clothe, shelter, medicate and educate needy humans once they've left the sacred womb.
At some level, their cult of the embryo really is, I suspect, intended to hide their soulless and bloody-minded brutality from themselves as much as from the rest of us, kind of the way someone like Larry Craig sweatily and zealously votes for legislation that upholds the sanctity of heterosexual marriage.

We've already got one Newsstand on our iPhones and iPads, and Google it seems wants to be the second. Announced today, Google Play Newsstand is a new product that will be rolling together Google Currents and the until now Android only Google Play Magazines under one banner. The app is Android only at first, though according to Engadget it will also be coming our way sometime next year:
With today's launch, Google is putting the focus on Android, but iOS users will be able to enjoy the fruits of Mountain View's labor as well... eventually. A spokesperson told us that Newsstand will be coming to Apple's mobile OS early next year, primarily as a replacement to Currents. And, while you probably won't be able to purchase subscriptions directly through the app, you will be able to pick up periodicals through the web storefront and have them delivered to your handset or tablet.
Google's Newsstand is more than just magazines since it's able to pull in web content as well. A sort of one stop shop for all your news. Like the recently launched Google Play Music for iPhone, we shouldn't ever expect in-app purchases from Google, since they'd have to hand over a chunk to Apple. So it'll be web shopping only in that regard.
Currents was never the most popular of apps from Google, especially on iOS, but Newsstand looks like a more interesting proposition. Question is; would you use it?

I see F hastily cutting something with scissors and I say, "Be careful you don't do what D did."
What did D do?
"Didn't he mention it? A few weeks ago I saw he had a bandage covering the tip of his index finger and I asked what happened. He said,
It was the stupidest thing. I was cutting open the top of a plastic milk bag, like this, and I just wasn't paying attention. Snipped the very tip of my finger off. Couldn't believe I did it."
Not long after this memorable chat with F, I was back at D's place and saw the bandage was gone. "All healed up, then?"
What do you mean?
"The tip of your finger."
Which finger?
"Your index finger."
He showed me his right hand. Undamaged. "Must have been your other hand." Nothing. "Man, you made it sound like you had actually cut the tip of your finger off."
What are you talking about?
So, knowing that D tends not to retain memories of small significance (and some of larger significance), I repeat to D the conversation I had with him several weeks before in front of his kitchen sink.
Not only does D not remember such a conversation, neither do any of his supposedly amputated fingertips. And D doesn't reuse milk bags; I do. And the bandage was on his right hand; being right-handed, it would have been a left-hand injury.
At this point I concede, against the protestations of my mind, that the incident could only have occurred in a dream, not in lived experience outside of my imagination. "But," I say, "I told F about that. And I know I've told other people. That was a moment in my life; but it never happened."
What is this, a Philip K. Dick story? Am I a replicant, or am I struggling to achieve Total Recall?
Believe me, I'm happy for D that he isn't short a fingerprint; but now this mind of mine has me in a quandary. Next time I'm approached amorously by Daryl Hannah, or Sharon Stone, or Kate Beckinsale , I'll be hornswoggled: should I take it lying down, or jump out the window and wait for Jessica Biel to show up?

People always make up excuses for losing and it's not just teams losing to Bottineau cause its a hard place to play. I agree it probably is real hard place to play but not for me being I grew up and played there. That being said there are plenty of teams making excuses for losing to one another examples Century losing to BHS in the stadstad, H/B tying BHS or people complaining about homer refs in Minot. There always is and always will be excuses for losing but it doesn't really matter cause in the end 1 team wins and the other doesn't plain and simple.
Should be an interesting last couple weeks of the season Bottineau and Century play 2 times, BHS and Century have 1 more game, and Bottineau and Minot have one 1 more.

Blame the victim
In spite of the recent headline that the Leading Edge Health Club in Greenfield had "No Plans to close the gym" the well earned end came swiftly anyway as today their doors are locked, the music silenced and machines switched permanently off.
Apparently Home Depot did not want to forgive $300,000 in unpaid bills rung up over the past two years, probably figuring any business partnership that can fall that far behind in such a short time is not a good bet to turn around instantly simply because one loser partner purges the other.
I guess the good thing about charging a ridiculously low monthly fee is that members can't be owed too much in lost pre-paid memberships. But it is still bad for the industry, sowing seeds of distrust and giving people the wrong impression of the true cost to run a health club properly--which is reflected in normal monthly rates.
Industry standard these days is easily in the $49/month range. So when someone promises to provide the same service for $9.95/month, beware.
If it sounds to good to be true..
Still a "Grand Opening" sign over three years later

If you were impressed by the elephant walk of twenty-seven F-16 Fighting Falcons taxying down the runway, fully armed and ready for immediate take off and battle, check out these seventy (70!) F-15E Strike Eagles doing exactly the same.
They got together for one purpose: to celebrate the destruction of Nazis!
U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter aircraft of the 4th Fighter Wing perform an "Elephant Walk" as they taxi down the runway during a Turkey Shoot training mission on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., April 16, 2012. The wing generated nearly 70 aircraft to destroy more than 1,000 targets on bombing ranges across the state to commemorate the 4th's victory over the Luftwaffe April 16, 1945. The aircrews are assigned to the 4th Fighter Wing's 333rd, 334th, 335th, and 336th Fighter Squadrons.
Destroying 1,000 targets all over the state sounds fun, but not as fun as kicking Nazi arse (although infinitely less dangerous). [USAF]

Snap Happy: Nueske's Hot Dogs
For hot dog lovers, it's all about the snap. The snap is the feeling you get when you bite into a natural-casing wrapped hot dog and the casing pops open to a cascade of juices and spice, not unlike the sensation of biting into Xiao Long Bao at a Shanghainese dumpling house.
The best hot dog stands in LA, Pink's Skooby's, Carney's, all have the snap, but finding it in the supermarket dog you cook at home can be a problem. Most mass market dogs have artificial or, worse yet, no casing at all. They are just a mush of who knows what kind of entrails, beaks and hooves, molded into a hot dog-like shape.
The hands down best packaged hotdogs I've ever had are Nueske's Applewood Smoked Wieners from Wisconsin. These pork/beef dogs have the feel of hand made sausages (lacking the standardization you get from the weiner mold) and, of course, they use natural casing.
These babies cook up beautifully on the grill and make hot dogs that rival any of my favorite stands. In fact, I daresay they are better than some of my favorite dog stand dogs...and they have great snap, which yields to an exciting rush of porky, garlicy juice that floods the mouth a most satisfying way.
As with many great things, however, they are not easy to find. I have occasionally seen a 1 lb. package at Surfas in Culver City, or you can order them on-line from the Nueske's website, but only in the 2 lb. size, which is pretty pricey, and a lot of dog, but oh, so good.

If I told you I had an Uncle Salvatore and he was eaten by badgers, that would be pretty wild, right? Well, I don't, and none of my uncles have been consumed by wildlife. A true thing that happened that's also pretty wild is Klay Thompson's amazing night. He mushroomed for 32 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Besides snaking his way around opponents to drive to the hoop, he also nailed 6 of 8 from downtown. His season best performance tops a current hot streak where he is averaging 20+ points over the past week. Not bad for kid, who probably isn't even old enough to remember early Internet memes.
Andre Drummond – Someone should sing the praises of Andre Drummond. Ahem. "He's in the middle without any plans, he's"…what's that? I already did this bit with J.J. Hickson a month ago? Darn it. Anyway, Drummond scored 18, grabbed 18, threw in an assist, a steal and a block. Can't someone go 17/17 so I can break out the Winger reference?
Jarrett Jack – Jarrett Jacked off to 26 points, 1 board, 12 assists, a steal, a block and 3 of 4 from beyond the arc. He keeps getting better with each game.
Meyers Leonard – Played 3 minutes to collect 0/0/0/0/0/etc. After 3 games last week with halfway decent minutes and a few points and boards, he went for 1 point/1 rebound in 8 minutes on Sunday, and now this. Meyers, more like goodbyers, am I right? Cue slide whistle.
Monta Ellis – The dude had 24 points, 4 rebounds, 2 dimes, and a whopping 6 steals. Not the Dude, but this dude. Monta. You know him.
Alonzo Gee – Missed all 5 field goal attempts (incluing 2 threes) to finish with 0 points, 4 rebounds, 2 dimes and a steal. He's averaged 29 minutes over the last 5 games and only managed 5/5/2 during that time, which makes me wonder what he's doing out there.
Shawn Marion – Hate to talk about him again so soon, but he produced 12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. He's had some crappy performances recently, but he has also had some nice offensive outbursts, which could also describe my bathroom time. over the pst week, he's averaging 8 rebounds.
Earl Clark – He had an impressive 20 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. The Lakers are crazy, even by L.A. standards, so you may as well grab Clark if you need a Forward help. He also had 6 turnovers on the night, for what that's worth (it's worth 6 turnovers).
Robin Lopez – You may not want to babble about him because he's no Brook, but Robin still finished with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists an a steal. Of course, it was his best game in 2 weeks.
Ersan Ilyasova – Came back down to Earth a little bit with 9 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, and 2 steals in 21 minutes. Why the dropoff for the James Franco lookalike? Because you touch yourself at night, that's why. Also, because the Bucks were crushing the Pistons by the 3rd and there was no reason to run out Milwaukee's star(ter)s all night.
Wesley Matthews – The good news is he reached 17 points with 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. He also took 9 three pointers and hit only 3, but if that's the worst I have to say, it's a good night. So…let's try the bad news again. The bad news is, this is his first night in 5 games where he tallied more than 1 rebound. Although, that is sort of good news, too.
Dwight Howard – Here's your weird line of the night: 24 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks.

I have come up against an unexpected problem. My villagers reproduce just fine, except that I have never had a boy child born. The only males I have ever had were the ones I came with and the one that arrived in my barrel of children. I only have three males left in my tribe and two are elderly. Any ideas or suggestions on why this is or what to do about it? Different combinations of parents hasn't seemed to make a difference. . .
@ Vanity:
If you need to train up some builders, you can put them on the huts you already have and they will fix them. Otherwise, once you get level 3 restoration, you can put one or two on the last hut by themselves. It will take a really long time to build that hut, but by the time they are done, they should be master builders or at least close to it.
P.S. Once you get restoration 3, you can go ahead and have your master builder put the plans for the statue on the chalkboard and find the "spot to anchor the statue", then wait until you get leadership 3 to actually start working on it.
@ Kymber & himomma:
The pieces of the tablet will start appearing when you have about 2% of the rubble removed, and will continue appearing loooong after you have cleared all the rubble. I still need 2 pieces, but every once in a while one shows up down there by the ruins. (Make sure you're having children pick up the pieces. Sometimes they can't pick them up because they are getting ready to disappear - it's happened to me a couple of times).
tiger flower, tiger flower and rose makes a fun potion
they will run around.
Does anyone know if you are able 2 build the 3rd hut? If so how and what do you need to build?
There are potions that will cause your people to die so be careful.
I plan on making a list of all potion and reaction if anyone knows some other ones that are not listed let me know I heard there are around 56 in all
Hints for 2 pop ups
when it pops up and says so and so found a red star fish it will ask if to touch or not. if you touch it the person will loose some skill.
when it pops up and say there is a troublesome bird, do you scare it away? if you don't, the person will see something on its leg and take it. they will read the scroll and it will tell you a potion: cactus + lily + Orchid. If they drink it, they will run around wanting to exercise, and it will also improve their construction.
ok,I have tried to post this before but now it isn't on the list so please excuse me if it is repeated, no matter how much I look and I have placed my people everywhere I can not find the stick like object. On my game I got the bowl with spoons on the top of the path, if anyone else found theirs there can you tell me where to look for that last item for the alchemy lab. Thanks so much for the help.
I just made a little discovery
I collected all the turtle shells (collectibles) and I augmented my max. population by 5
Just in case you didn't know,
more than a child can pick up the same item. What I do is pause the game (let's say I have 3 children), put a child on top of the mushroom or collectible so it reads "collecting an item", I put a 2nd child next to the child picking up the collectible, and I grab the 3rd child, hold it over the item and 1st child, unpause the game, drop the 3rd child I was holding on top of the item, and quickly grab the 2nd child that was next to the other child and put it over the item. Therefore, I collect the same item 3 times! This is how I have been able to survive, by getting 3 of the same mushroom (getting 18 to 105 food).
Brown mushroom = 6 food
Red mushroom = 35 food
I haven't been able to grab the same item with 4 children, however, but at least 3 is good.
Hope this helped those who has had starvation problems.
i cant finsh buzzel 9 i have Level 3 Restoration, Level 3 Leadership, completed Puzzle #8 a Chief and a Master Builder andt i draw the plans already.
i tryied putting the Chief and the Master Builder over the top of the path but nothing happend, i never see
"see a good place to anchor the statue."
plze help me its driving me crazy...:(
can any one show me a pic of where the stute should be plz?
Thanks for the tip about having more than one child pick up an item. I have been able to do it with 2 kids but not 3. I put one on the item while the game is paused and then drop the other on the item as soon as I unpause, but maybe I am not quick enough with the 3rd kid. Still 2 is better than 1!
Hello everyone,
i need HELP!
i have purchased LEVEL 2 ALCHEMY, LEVEL 2 (MAGIC) FACTION) and LEVEL 2 RESTORATION.
i have solved many puzzles and started experimenting with potions. I made some weird potion that made one character turn into a WEAKENED state.
i then tried to make her healthier by making the CACTUS+CACTUS+LOTUS potion to reastore health, instead it blew up and caused that person to become weakened also. I thought this was a glitch so tried it again and it blew up again causing the 3rd person to become weakened.
what am i doing wrong??
please help!
J, you might try buying level 3 alchemy, also are the people you are using to make the potions master scientists? Im not sure if that makes a difference but my people seem to do better with potions when a master scientist makes them.
erd, Are you using 3 adept builders? I tried with two at first but it didn't work. Maybe 3 will work for you?
Glad I can help Sue.
Some potions with the berry:
Berry + Rose + Cactus = Scientific Clarity
Berry + Black Orchid + Lotus = Feels Smarter
Berry + Cactus + Lotus = Feel Better
Berry + Lotus + Lotus = Epiphany/Trance
Berry + Tiger Lily + Tiger Lily = Teleports villager near beach
Nuvisiongirl: Anyone can be a chief, even children, it could be a pregnant woman's child.
Kymber: I don't think you can prevent anyone from dying, but
buy the three levels of medicine, have villagers study medicine, and do aromatherapy (puzzle 12) to have the villagers live longer
Another small tip,
when I get very little honey, like about 11 honey in the bee hive, I pause the game and put all the villagers together (watchout getting someone pregnant) by the bee hive, unpause the game and have all my villagers (even if they don't know how to harvest) harvest honey, that way I will be getting more than just 11 food. To those villagers who shake their heads, keep on trying to make them harvest before it's too late! You have to do it before the first villager with honey reaches the food bin and deposits the honey.
A suggestion for those who suffer for starvation:
Plant the seed they give you, have villagers research and build and the children pick up collectibles, complete puzzle 2-the bee hive-, buy restoration level 2, repair the lift with the three adept (or master) builders-completing puzzle 6-, complete puzzle 5 so you can make it rain whenever you want and complete puzzle 10-the orchard-, and accumulate tech points to get the second level in any faction (most important) and in alchemy, complete puzzle 11-banishing the sharks-:
Nature faction: Pitcher plant + Black orchid + Black orchid
Magic faction: Berry + rose + rose
Train villagers to fish and you may have unlimited food from now on because the fish does not end.
For those who have a problem with the statue:
You will need Level 3 Restoration, Level 3 Leadership, a tribal chief, a Master Builder, and a completed bath (solved Puzzle 8). Drop the Master Builder on the chalkboard (which will be blank after the bath is completed), and he/she will draw up plans for the statue. Drag an adult villager (not a nursing mom) up the path to the door until he/she "Sees a good place to anchor the statue" -- this villager is more likely to be successful if he/she has some building skill. That villager will then build scaffolding to help anchor the statue. Your chief must direct work on the statue, so drop him/her on the statue to begin this process - if the chief stops directing work, then progress will halt until you return the chief to his/her duties. Once the chief is directing, you can then drop builders on the statue to help "pushing the statue". The villagers must push the statue up the path towards the door - this will take several hours (you can click on the statue to bring up a timer in the status bar that will help you determine how long is left - but this time depends on how many builders you have working on the project and may increase if builders leave the project). Your builders may occasionally complain that "there is no more room to help out" - only a limited number of builders can work on the statue at any given time.
I have the 3rd level in leadership, and I always spot the rare collectible, the chief is not actually pointing towards it so begin searching everywhere. But, it does work.
im stuck at puzzle 5, i know we need a chief and 3 adept farmers.. but all i have is a 14 year old chief, a adept farmer and one master farmer!!
i could train another villager to be an adept farmer, but the thing is: i dont have anymore food to harvest!!
even if i do, all of my adults already have a skill..
i'll have to wait for my 12 year old daughter to grow up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you. :)
Grace, thanx so much for the tip! I had tried this before because I remembered doing it in VV1. Except in VV1 you could just place about 7 or 8 children on the item while the game was paused. I tried it and it won't let you do it while it's paused with this one. You have to be quick and do it right when you unpause it(for those of you who don't know). I've been able to do 3, you just have to be careful not to place all of them to close to each other. Haven't tried for 4 yet!
Thx again!
HELP!!! I have managed to get the statue to the top of the hill with the help of the chief and many builder. It is now just sitting there and no one will push it anymore. I have tried a million times and when I send them up to the statue, the just want to go fishing or eat and the chief just want to think or be proud of the tribe. I have all my tech points and I have solved all the puzzles except the ones that relate to the completion of the statue. Is this a glitch? It is driving me crazy!!!
I've been trying to get my people to do the "Light and Springy" potion (Rose + Cactus + Lotus), but the response is "It tastes awful!" and when I drag the person who drank it to the correct spot, they are not able to reach the pink item. I have reached all of the highest techs and even level 3 of Nature. So there shouldn't be any problems. What am I doing wrong?
Angel, the leaves are sort of a bush that is on the farther right side. Pretty much right inbetween where the dirt section meets the grassy section at the right edge of that short stone wall. You can sort of see a piece of brown rock sticking out from behind a bush, that is the leaves you need to clear. Hope that helps!
holy crap, i dont reccommend you having your game on fast mode then leaving it unattended for 7 hours. When I came back, I had a "new" child but he was a skeleton at age 7 and a 17 year old died from starvation... not to mention all of my villagers were dying of starvation... I was too low on anything for them to survive, so I had to restart. Just a tip I guess. lol
Faith - Notice that as you run out of food, the regular mushrooms and the special red mushrooms become more plentiful.
You just have to keep looking for mushrooms to keep your villagers fed until you get get an alternate food source going.
I'd get that lift fixed ASAP! It's going to take several more hours after that to get a new food source, so I'd make that your top priority!
@ Ani and anyone else with this problem
Now I haven't kept perfect track of which parent came onto the other but there seems to be more than luck with a baby's gender.
Boy-put a woman onto a man
Girl-put a man onto a woman
It's worked for me (I had a slightly less drastic problem involving to little female offspring).
Oh, and @ Cory:
I agree, one of the most interesting things about a game like this is the relationships between people, and this game does seem to be lacking. I keep track of everyone and make relationships for them. What I find really annoying is that you can't have two people do anything but mate. Everyone should be able to embrace. And I don't like that I can't drag a kid over to a lonely kid and have them cheer the other up.
Ok, this text box is evil. It keeps missing letters!
So it took me FOREVER to figure out that you could have a kid as a chief! I started my game over twice already (if you have your advanced scientist making potions then they can get weakened and DIE and that's not so great and was probably worth starting over for. get someone else to make a health potion that has full health... and then someone else if that doesn't work to get the important people's health up.) I spent forever waiting for my nursing mom to give up her kid and had every adult going over there to the robe again and again before I dropped a little brat on there.
So there's a tinkling sound going on that sounds like somebody dropping fairy dust or something and that usually means that there's at least a mushroom lurking around somewhere... I think. I've paused when I heard that a couple of times and didn't find anything, but more often than not there's something for kids to pick up. Has anybody else noticed this?
I don't know if they have it in the game, but you really need a temporary birth control potion so that you can up parenting with recreational mating before the villagers get really old. Just a thought! :)
marygrace112 (my member e-mail hasn't gotten to me yet!)
Thanks pineapple for the answer about the research side of the lab. I was wigging out over the mess :) also there are those OSHA regulations. It's cleaned up now.
For those that are starving ..... mushrooms!! and try the double drop the get two kids to pick them up. This saved me more then once. If you can get two of the red -shrooms it's 70 foods.
I also found out you can double drop on 'items' this gives you double the tech points if it's not 'new'

Gather up three of your best dining friends and set a date for Puerto 511.
But make a reservation first. Word is out about Puerto 511, and diners were being turned away, nicely, on a recent Saturday night. Bring along a bottle of wine or a six-pack of beer, too. Puerto 511 has a BYOB policy.
And plan your route. Puerto 511 is not easy to find. The restaurant's plain entrance is on an obscure block of Clay Street, a few blocks south of the central Enoch Pratt Free Library. There used to be a sub shop at this address, but the owners of Puerto 511 have done a complete overhaul of the space.
It's pretty. The white-walled atmosphere is minimalist but not stark. The black-topped tables are set simply, with small flower vases. The room's energy comes from the open kitchen, and from diners falling in love with something new.
The chef and owner of Puerto 511 is Jose Victorio Alarcon, who relocated last year to Baltimore from Chicago, where he was the executive chef at Between Peruvian Cafe & Lounge, a warmly received restaurant in the hip Wicker Park neighborhood. Peruvian food was not a new thing in Chicago, but Between was credited with bringing a contemporary attitude about presentation to the scene.
Peruvian cuisine defies easy categorization. There are a handful of indigenous dishes and preparations you'd expect to find at any Peruvian restaurant — ceviche, for instance, and "anticuchos," the skewered pieces of marinated meats that are the country's beloved street food. At Puerto 511, the preferred meat is veal heart.
But the cuisine of Peru, like our own, is heavily influenced by an immigrant population. You'll find dishes at Puerto 511 that remind you of Spanish cuisine, which you'd expect, and Chinese and Japanese cuisine, which you might not.
When we came to Puerto 511 on a Sunday afternoon, just to check it out, the chef waited on our table. When we returned for our Saturday night review, there were two waitresses on duty. Depend on them. Almost every menu description includes a sauce that we had questions about.
Start with one of the menu's three ceviche preparations, two of which — the Ceviche Classico and the Ceviche Mixto — are coated in the classic "leche de tigre" juices, a spicy concentration of lime juice, peppers and natural fish juices, and garnished with glazed sweet potato and Andean corn. Both are beautifully presented — the Classico is fish only, the Mixto is mixed seafood — and their flavors are overwhelmingly fresh.
We loved the exceptionally bright flavors in the third ceviche, the 511 Tiradito, in which the fish is sliced sashimi style, tossed in a yellow chili-pepper cream sauce and garnished with a small slice of an extremely hot red pepper.
Keep ordering. Yuquitas Doradas are feather-light and savory cassava fritters stuffed with shreds of rib-eye steak, raisins and olives, served with a fiery hot red-pepper sauce. The Causa Sampler is an elegantly designed trio of whipped potato croquettes, served with a yellow chile pepper sauce and topped with precisely placed tastes of garlic-marinated shrimp, grilled octopus and smoked salmon.
The menu lists six entrees, and all are worth a try. Portions are moderate, as are the prices. The Arroz Con Mariscos, a Peruvian-style paella flavored with white wine, lime and cilantro, is a showcase for fresh seafood. As is the house version of Chaufa de Mariscos, Peru's take on Chinese fried rice. Filled with shrimp, octopus and squid, and garnished with eggs and bell pepper, it has the fresh and light appeal of spa cuisine.
The simplest one is Lomo Saltado, tasty marinated beef tenderloin sauteed with onions, tomatoes, cilantro and garlic. The most intriguing is Huancaina Spaguetti, a noodle-based dish with rib-eye, shrimp, mushrooms and cheese with the rib-sticking appeal of mushroom stroganoff. The prettiest are the micro lamb chops, which are encrusted with huacatay, a potent Peruvian black mint, and served with bacon-infused mashed potatoes.
For dessert, there is a shimmery flan made from red quinoa and flavored with grape brandy. And there is Peruvian toast, slices of bread drenched in manjar blanco — think dulce de leche — and topped with vanilla ice cream. We loved them both.
But we loved everything about Puerto 511, which is the best thing to hit Clay Street, ever.

Welcome to Yate International Gymnastics Centre
Your brand-new acrogymnastics facility based at the popular leisure centre in the thriving South Gloucestershire town of Yate.
The large former bowls and summer sports hall at the leisure centre has been transformed into a state-of-the-art complex for aspiring gymnasts to hone their talents and to host major competitions and displays. A series of fitness-orientated classes and parent-toddler activities are also thriving at this new and enticing community complex, which has won the welcome support of South Gloucestershire Council and Circadian Trust.
Other exciting features introduced to the new venue include Parkour/Free Running, Cheerleading, Parents & Kids Gym plus a multi-sensory area for children with special needs and learning difficulties.
From the summer of 2013, Yate International Gymnastics Centre became home to King Edmund Gym Club, an internationally-acclaimed organisation for ALL ages which has long enjoyed unprecedented success at home and abroad on the competition stage. Their immense contribution to the local community led to them being awarded the prestigious Club of the Year trophy 2013 at the Active South Gloucestershire Sports Awards, helped by stunning gold and silver-medal winning victories at the World Games and European Championships.
King Edmund GC, which has now fully relocated from its previous HQ at the Sports Shed, boasts an enviable collection of current and former world, European and British champions. Yet it is the manner in which their protégés are carefully and respectfully nurtured which attracts admiration and respect from counterparts and rivals across the globe.
Of course, gymnastics is about having fun too and King Edmund GC has professional and fully-qualified, CRB-certified staff to provide it.
Gymnastics classes for everyone
The club has in operation a clear and structured programme tailored to the needs of each and every member, from the enthusiastic fledgling to the experienced elite.
Gym Tots
The exciting road to fulfilment and ultimate success begins with Gym Tots, where children from as young as 18 months can learn the art of balance, agility and co-ordination through play, while later getting the chance to proudly attain their Gym Tot badges.
Gym Fun
Once children have mastered basic gymnastic routines, they move on to the second of the five-point plan Gym Fun, which offers early-years schoolchildren more disciplined and structured sessions as they begin to develop strength and performance in an entertaining and enjoyable environment – and without their parents in attendance to boot!
Next up is Recreational Gymnastics, an exciting and testing class open to children of all ages who simply wish to benefit their health and wellbeing through acrobatic gymnastics, or who strive to attain success on the competition stages.
Competition Squad
For the truly gifted and dedicated gymnast, progression to the Competition Squad follows suit, where the club's Great Britain coach Nikki Thorne and her team of fellow experts are on hand to put aspiring stars of the future through their paces.
Elite Squad
If you have come this far then you are well on the road to success! Which is where the Elite Squad comes in, a highly-specialist class which develops and prepares the best and most committed gymnasts for top-level action – be prepared for some serious and ultimately fulfilling work!
Get in touch
Are you interested in you or your children getting involved? Feel free to get in touch so we can help introduce you to the club.

College football season started in my house last night. I am a huge SC Gamecock fan and have been all of my life. Last night they barely won a game that should have been a blow out according to the experts. I really hate it when the experts say stuff like that and I buy into it. In football, anything can happen and usually does especially when you are talking about college ball.
I listen to a lot of experts predict things and I can't tell you how often they are wrong. For instance, the weather forecaster on TV. They are considered experts in weather and yet they probably only get it right half. I was watching the forecasts for hurricane Isaac and a week before it came close to Florida, they were saying that it would hit Tampa. It made landfall in New Orleans. Just this morning I heard the forecast for my area was to be mostly cloudy and I am sitting in bright sunshine without a cloud in the sky.
Experts in the financial world are not much better. Every time we get a jobs report it is worse than the experts predicted. Stocks go up and down every day despite what they say and those same experts who blame speculators for oil prices going sky-high, never mention the speculators when it drops to record lows. Three years ago many of the experts said that we would be well recovered from the recession we are not still in, and yet unemployment went up in over 30 states just last month.
Experts predicted that in the year 2000 AD on New Years day all computers would freak out and it didn't happen. Experts said that cars were not going to catch on and flying would never happen. They said that everyone would be flying around instead of driving by now and that a new ice age was coming, but now its global warming. They said salt would kill you, now it won't, saccharine would kill you, but not really now, red meat was good but now its bad, and that if you would just take this pill or that one you would never get fat.
So far the experts have messed up a lot of predictions. There is one source of predictions that I have found to be really accurate; the Bible. The Old Testament is full of predictions that Jesus would come to earth and die, and He did. In fact almost 1000 years before it happened, great details of the crucifixion were written in Psalm 22. The Bible predicted that the temple in Jerusalem would be totally destroyed and it happened. It predicted that several super powers would fall and gave a time frame to when it would happen, and it did. Very few historians disagree with the historical accuracy of the Bible. It is used as a historical document far more than most would ever guess. What is disputed is the claim to be the word of God and that the God of the Bible is who it claims Him to be. But with all of the weird and far out predictions the Bible has already gotten right, it does make you wonder if it could be right about God too.
In the New Testament there are some really far out claims that when made could never be imagined and today are not far away from being a reality. It says that there will be a time when money will be useless and that no one will be able to buy or sell without a certain mark. When that was written 2000 years ago it was absurd to think about that possibility and even as little as 20 years ago it seemed far-fetched. Yet here we are today with fewer and fewer people using cash and the need to carry cash is almost obsolete. It tells us that Jesus will return to earth one day and when that happens, everyone will see it. Today that is as close to a possibility as ever before with the video phone capability that everyone has.
With so many experts being so wrong so often and the Bible being right so often, why do people doubt the simple things that the Bible claims? Like all humans are sinners. No one has to be taught to lie, it comes natural. It says that all sinners will be judged by God and that we either stand on our own merits or we can stand on the merits of Christ. His death on the cross, also not disputed by historians, is an acceptable sacrifice for our sins and all we have to do is ask for forgiveness. What is disputed is that Christ rose from the grave. It says that God loves us enough to allow His Son to die for us and that if we will live for Him, He will give us eternal life.
Eternal life is something many experts agree that humans have or will have. What form it takes and how we achieve it is what is in question. Some say that we earn it, the Bible says it is a gift. Some say it is a never-ending cycle of coming back as other creatures. Some say that everyone goes to heaven and the Bible says that only those who trust in Christ go. Some say that eternal life will be achieved through modern medicine and this causes those who are rich to spend millions to preserve their corpses in hopes that they can be revived when that time comes. The Bible says that we all die and after that there is judgement. Judged on our own works or on what Christ did for us.
So given the accuracy of the expertise of man and the expertise of God, I will choose to go with God. After all, if last nights game was any indication of the expert's ability to get it right, I don't want to risk my soul to that.
Expert Predictions

The original recipe called for the bacon to be tied around the mushroom. But either my mushrooms were too big or the bacon rashers were too short that it didn't have much to give to tie it. So I put it in place with toothpicks and just removed them before serving. Another deviation I made is with the mushrooms. It was supposed to be open cup but I can't find any so I got the next best thing - big closed cup ones which I just sliced off the stem and the part around it making it effectively 'open cup'. It worked well if I may say so. :)
Stuffed Mushrooms with Walnuts & Goat's Cheese
6-8 open cup mushrooms, stalks removed
2 Tbsp oil
2 shallots or 1 small onion - chopped
1 garlic clove - finely minced
80 g [1/2 cups] chopped walnuts
2 tsp chopped fresh sage leaves or 1 tsp dried
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
175 g firm goat's cheese - sliced into 6-8 pieces
6-8 thin rashers streaky bacon
- Preheat oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/375°F/gas mark 5.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet and place mushrooms stem side up on it.
- Fry the onion in oil until soft.
- Add garlic, herbs, chopped walnuts, and seasonings (salt/pepper). Remove from heat.
- Spoon the walnut mixture in the mushrooms. Top with a slice of goat's cheese.
- Tie a rasher of bacon around each mushroom (tied at the top). If the rashers are not long enough for tying, secure on the mushrooms with toothpicks.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and the bacon crisp.
- Remove toothpicks (if using) before serving.
