Building and DecorationBy
Once the first goal, to get the Smurfs living in their new village, is achieved and the first Smurfs have come back, the player can start to decorate the village so that the Smurfs like living in it.
The only restrictions are ones own imagination and the available space; the decorative items can be bought in one of the three shops with either Coins or Smurfberries. Most items give a specific amount of XP once placed in the village, but some items, like the animals, give XP and/or Coins on a regular basis.
There are three different shops within the game. The higher the level, the more items are unlocked in these shops and can be used to decorate the village. After pressing the button on the bottom right corner of the village the first shop opens. This shop contains mostly non-living items like fences, bridges, …
The second shop can be reached by pressing on the tap in the middle at the top of the display. This shop has mainly living items like animals, flowers, …
The third shop is the Smurfberry-Shop; all items bought here cost Smurfberries.
The Smurfberry-Shop offers the following items. All these items can be bought from level one onwards and they do not need to be unlocked at a specific level.

At which level do i get a hot air balloon???
It is all explained in this article: http://www.mysmurfsvillage.com/smurfs-village-gui…
Where are the wooden barels? I was asked to place three.
Try under the furniture menu.
When i buy patio tiles it did not appear in my village what will i do?
It means you have reached the path limit. You can only have a certain amount of paths, you need to delete some before you can place new ones.
What are Peppermint lamps? Can't find them in the lights section. Tracker smurf's task is saying to place 3 peppermint lamps and I don't see them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have no idea what "Peppermint Lamps" are, but if Tracker asks for them there should be a little icon of Tracker's hat in the build menu for the category it is in, and then again on the item. Just place that item.
Right, but tracker head is not showing on any of the for purchase categories. It's very strange and I don't want to use 6 smurf berries to skip the task.
That is weird. Sorry I have no idea what they could be, but you could try all of the lamps that are available for coins or open a ticket with Beeline. You can reach them here: http://www.beeline-i.com/support.php
I have the same problem, can't find peppermint lamp, Tracker's face does not appear on anything so I am stuck, or I use 3 berries
Its old tasks that Beeline didnt remove when they removed the items from the store in this new uopdate, beeline is aware of the problem and hopefully they fix this in the next uodate
Same problem heer! The item can't be found. Grrrrrr…
When placing a zen garden sand tile or a pathway stone tile, the tile doesn't appear but it takes away the coins to purchase it.
Even I remove them from my storage hut and place them back into my village they just disappear.
Any idea why this is happening?
You are most likely at the 255 path limit in that part of your village. Even though each Zen tile is much smaller than a dirt or stone path, it counts as one path. Delete some other paths you don't like, and then the ones you take out of storage should show up, and the ones you purchase from the menu should appear. It is a hard limit in the game that cannot be changed.
Jokey smurf can sent more resources pls? Thanks
If you're asking if Beeline can program Jokey to provide more resources as gifts, you can communicate directly with them via their support portal and let them know your suggestion at http://beeline-i.com/support.php
i am on level 20 and papa smurf are giving me a task tat is smurf to the island by tap d ship 2 visit the island but d problem is i cant find anthr island on my village n i cant c any ship .Is it the new island wil be going 2 appear wen i was in level 21 ?
You have to build a big wooden or stone bridge across the rive on the left side, then you will get the beach and the ship
ask me to put in 10 pieces of wood…….I have know idea where to find them….
Is the quest asking you to pkace 10 logs next to Tinber or to collect 10 wood?
Why it doesnt showing me when i buy a pathways?? :(((
You have probably exceeded the number of paths you are allowed to place, so if you are spending coins and not seeing the paths show up, you are at the limit of 250. The only way to put down new paths in new areas is to either move what you have to a new area or to delete ones you can live without and purchase new ones.
I built a building to stock my houses in it, but i cannot put any of my mushrooms houses in that building! When i click on it, it ask me to pay 5 smurfberry to pût 2 more houses. But i did not put any yet! Please help!
You need to open a ticket with Beeline at http;//beeline-i.com/support.php if you don't have any mushroom huts inside your condos. You can build multiple condos and store 2 huts in each without having to use Smurfberries.
Thankyou for your advice
So what section is the pink wooden fence on smurfs village??? #help
If Tracker or one of the special Smurfs is asming for ir, you should be guided to the Smurfs/Structures menu and guided to the correct item by following theittle face icon that appears on the menu tabs and on the item itself.
Why when I buy the pathways it didn't showing the path in the village, please help
It can be that you have reached the limit of path you can have in your village its why they disappear
I'm currently a level 11 Android player, but where can I buy the sandbox??
Try under Decorations/furniture.
Where is the beach chairs I cannot find them at all!!
You can find them in the furniture menu.
I've been trying to add the lamp post to the village and none of the lamp post I add finish the quest. How can I get by this? I was on level 35 before but I've had to start again and desperately want past this quest. Thanks. Nicola x
The coin version of the lamp post you need was inadvertently left off the lights menu. There is the same one available for SB if you choose to use that one instead of waiting until Beeline adds it back to the menu.
Papa smurf wants me to buy a lamppost but the only one I see costs 3 smurf berries. I am on level 22, do I need to level up 1st or is this a glitch?
It is a glitch. The lamp post for coins was inadvertently left off the menus when Beeline changed the interface. We have been informed it will be added back into the game in a coming update (we hope the next one).
Slouchy asks me for a sand statue, but those are for 12 SB. What to do?
There is one available for coins. It's next to those with sb. Can you find it?
I have it! Thank you.
I also have a problems with my facebook friend's villages.. I cannot go in them.. It tells me I need to upgrade my smurf's application to view this village :/ and I did.. Its been doing that for at least three updates >_< help?
Beeline continues to have problems with friends and neighbors. Some players are ok, some crash, some can see the neighbors and can't gift.
Thank you for answering me ^_^
Hello! Ive read your other answers about this and it didnt help
Me. Its making me crazy >_< im at level 22 and papa smurf wants me to put a lamp post in my village.. You said they cost 1000 but with the new update.. I cant find any 1000 coins lamp in the lights sections.. The only one that may work i think is the one that costs 3 smurfberries.. Is it this one?
Yes, it is the one for 3 Smurfberries. There used to be the same one available for 1000 Coins but with the menu it disappeared. This is a bug and Beeline is aware of it, at the moment the only things you can do is either spend the 3 Smurfberries to complete the task or wait for Beeline to fix this. As there is a new update due sometime next week I would at least wait for that update. You should also contact Beeline ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) about this, the more people contact them about an issue the sooner it should be resolved.
Am on level 22. Papa smurf is asking for a lamppost but the only one I can find in the new menu costs smurf berries. Where is the one for 1000 coins?
Someone else reported this issue yesterday. it appears the one for 1000 coins is missing, and it is probably an oversight that it is not in the menu. You will need to open a ticket with Beeline to let them know you're having this issue, and you can either ignore Papa's quest until a bug fix is released, or you can buy the one for smurfberries. Here is Beeline's address: http://beeline-i.com/support.php
Sorry i didnt see this before I posted a comment >__<
Where can i get the bucket papa smurf is asking for in lvl 29?
The bucket of water he asks for is availlable for 50 coins is the first tap of the building menu.
On the GOAL tab/option,
What this mean: getet 50 smurfs toswoon??
It means you have to get 50 smurfs to react sheepishly. To do this, you need to either have Smurfette or Sassette. Tapping on either of the girls in the presence of nearby Smurfs will make them 'swoon'. I have read that even picking up potions does the trick. You might want to try that.
I cant find smurf's papa and also cant go to my other island what's going on …. what should I do please help my device is android
Were you ever able to go to the island? Could you please let us know what level you're on and what quest you're currently on? Thanks. I'm the admin for Android, so I'll do my best to help you.
I am in level 30
I have no quest right now because papa disappeared so also I cant reach my other island
And if you know how to restore the game on Android I wll be great full
To u because I am going to change my device soon
There is not a way to move the game from one Android device to another. At the time you are ready to switch devices, you might want to open a ticket with Beeline. If you purchased SBs, they may reinstate them on your new device to ease the pain of having to start over.
For now, try this to see if you can find Papa smurf. From the blue Play menu, tap options. Then Tap Papa's head 16 times. When it appears, tap Recover village. Preview your backup files from most to least recent. when you find Papa, overwrite the village with that file.
How do I buy a bucket
I bought more than 10 buckets and still papa asking me to buy a bucket
And I am going to change my mobile how can I restore my game?????
First, there are two different buckets in two different parts of the build menu. You need the one which is full of water. If that is the one you have tried, choose the empty one.
Depending on your platform depends on how/if you can transfer your game to another device. Android players do not have the ability to transfer their games, but iOS players can backup their data and restore per this article: http://www.mysmurfsvillage.com/smurfs-village-int…
It is now in the flower/decorate menu after the pond, before the butterflies. Items must move around when they add stuff in the updates, I guess:)
Im on level 29 and papa smurf asked me to buy bucket. What is that and how it looks like
If I am not wrong, go to your build menu, under the flower tab, tap to a picture that shows a bucket, it costs 50 coins, and is in between the pond and the coin version of the butterfly.
Super thanks. It works
Yeah, thanks. This helped me too. I just hit 29 myself. Spicy chili.
Thanks… It works….
Im on level 22 and papa smurf wants me to "add a lamp post" I cant find the lamp posts that i need to add can anybody help me?
It is the lamp post in your flowers tab of the build menu that is shown between two golden pieces of path. It costs 1000 coins.
I have just started the game, papa smurf has asked me to place 3 benches in the place but I done that but he keeps on asking me to do it, have I placed the wrong bench, if so I cannot find another one . any held would be appreciated
There are several types of benches. Will you please provide the exact wording of Papa's quest so we can better assist you?
I'm pretty sure he or she means the places for the smurfs to sit, in which case they mean the three logs. Place them next to Timber for extra exp per day.
Papa smurf is asking me to buy a bucket but I can't seem to find it please help.
Try the bucket for 50 coins in the main hut build menu.
papa smurf wants me to add lamp post .. how can i add it????
Go to the build menu and select the lamp post. It is in the build menu under the flowers tab and is between two golden paths and sells for 1000 coins.
Papa smurfs is asking me for a bucket, where exactly can I get it from? I'm level 29 and have placed 3 buckets already and papa smurfs keeps asking me for that. help!!
It's the bucket in the house build menu between the tracker shrubbery and the miner's mine. It is for 50 coins.
I tried every bucket I could and none of them work.
It is supposed to be the one to the left of Miner's mine on the main hut build menu. If the quest isn't registering complete after you place it, it may be a glitch in the quest.
No, i've just completed this quest, it is the water bucket on the second menu, you can find it in between the pond and butterfly on rock..
I have bought loads of buckets dont work
This is happening to me I keep buying the bucket and its not working, so annoying
I'm sorry the quest isn't registering. Beeline informed me that the correct bucket is the one on the main build menu to the right of the Tracker shrubbery and to the left of Miner's mine. If after placing it, the quest doesn't register complete, please open a ticket with Beeline so they can be made aware that there is a problem with the quest: http://www.beeline-i.com/support.php
I have the same problem. I also don't know how to fix it.
Since the new update i can no longer get to the far east of my game a line of logs have appeared blocking the way!!! Only prob is thats were my balloon and animal sanctuary are, help!!!!
Try recovering your village data from backup. Tap Options, tap Papa's head 16 times. Tap Recover Village. You should see your backups. Preview each one until you find one where things are where they belong.
Papa Smurf says he needs lanterns for Firefly Festival, people have said there a 3 strung together in the build menu but i can't find them anywhere, can anyone help please xx
They cost 1500 Coins and are three party lantern hanging on a laundry line with sticks at the side that look like candy poles
Yay! at last, task complete… thank-you
Many thanks!!!;-)
Do the Christmas decorations dissapear next update? On some of the decorations it says under it "this is a seasonal item and it will dissapear next update" it doesnt day that under all of the items so i was just wondering. I have already bought many decorations so if they dissapear i will rrstore the game to a previous time i guess. Also, if they do dissapear and you put them in the storage hut will they turn into potions etc like on the Halloween decorations did?
It is my understanding, that if you try to save the temporary items, they will disappear. Usually, items that cost SBs are permanent, but I don't know for certain if that is the case this time. The temporary items should be labeled. You should note that if you decide to permanently stay with the Christmas update, your ability to access friends and send them gifts/bolts, etc. will become compromised, in addition to other features perhaps not functioning correctly. Ultimately, it is your decision.
what are outhouses? papa smurf told me to put 3 outhouses in the village
Try to build some toilet like things.
papa smurf asks to add a lamp post but i cant find it anywhere,what do i have to do?im in level 22
The lamp post is under the flowers tab on the build menu and it costs 1000 coins. On my Android game, it is between two of the golden paths. Hope this helps you find it!
Hi all
In the village they say I need too hang 3 hanging lanterens?
Do You know what too do?
Somewhere in the lists of things you can add are three lanterns strung together. Those are the ones the quest is asking for.
There are 3 lanterns on a washing line. They are next to the loom in the place where you buy things.
You need to go to the store and buy the hanging lanterns you will find them in the first one
hello!! i think they r asking u to buy d lanterns which iz in d ''light'' option…….i hope it's helpful
Can some one please tell me what is shrub. I couldnt find it. Thanks.
A shrub looks like what most of us consider a tree.
I'm on level 33 and completing a Scavenger Checklist and need to add 2 fruit baskets… But I don't see a fruit basket in the shop to add! What does the fruit basket look like?
Look for a sack that looks like a potato sack. It is where you shop for house and it will have scavengers head on the item.
I'm at level 15, 84%. Suddenly I'm in an empty space with nothing other than papa smurf's lab and some water. I need to build a bridge so my smurf's can get over the river from the village. The problem is that I can't place the bridge anywhere. No matter were I try to put it, it stays read. Can anyone help me?
Go to the login screen, there you will see a button options. Tap it and you'll some different functions. Next to the function restart village stands Papa Smurfs head. Tap it 16 times and a button recover village appears. Tap it and you'll see a list of saved villages. Select one preview and if it's the one you like select recover.
what is a corner path patch? What does it look like?? Thanks Jeff
it is a path that rounds a corner. I have several that appear to be corner patches. Do you have a quest that is asking for one?
yes,but I bought all kinds of path corner and put them into Villegas,but can not finish the question.
I have to add two path corner for the scavenger hunt, but i have tried every path available and it just doesnt work…
I have to add the path patch and i cant find it!!
I built the miners mine before papa smurf asked me to and now I can't move on from the task and collect the 500XP and I cannot delete the miners mine and start again what should I do?
I've used time cheat last week and now i' not getting notification 4 the items on sale or the limited edition of some decoration but my boyfriend always gets them but he never used time cheat.what should i do to get those items?
Beeline has some safeguards in place that detect if you use a cheat. You may never receive those notifications.
I wish granpa smurf joins the village maybe 1.2.8 or the Halloween
That would be so AWESOME.
Ver 1.1.5 was a big update I
Ver 1.1.5 was a big update I
Hope the Halloween 2012 and chritsmas 2012 r also big
Papa smurf asked to built a bridge, and show where i should place it , the problem is that, I can't place it .and I can't go to the island .im at level 35.
Sooooo I am on like level 19 and Papa Smurf asked me about 3 or so levels ago to plant a seed thing or whatever.. and it says you have to go to a friend's village to do that…. but I know no one who plays the game. And so instead of having to wait until I get 30 Smurfberries (to buy Nat Smurf, because there is no way I'm buying the Smurfberries either.) I was hoping there was a way (….uhm, cheat, *cough*……) to get Nat or more Smurfberries or just to skip the task possibly? :p
Any help welcome. C: Thanks! <3
When you cheat and someting goes wrong in your village Beeline won't help you and I won't do it either. Because you only need seeds I recommend you to post your Gamecenter name or your facebook link on our 'Add me' page.
I don't know why!the island start crops! they stop crops when i leave the island!They auto start crops when i go back again?
It is bug in the latest update, some players says that it works better if you leave one smurf in the main village that doesnt work se if that trick works for you otherwise you need to wait and cross your fingers that Beeline fix this issue as soon as possible
How about the kite??
It is only for decoration so it doesnt gives you any xp or coins
What is the purpose of the gold colored sack containing rotten apples? If it's only decoration I'm deleting it. I'm on level 17. Thanks.
It's only decoration.

Icons who fell from grace and how they should redeem themselves
Rob Ford
Toronto mayor Rob Ford was elected in 2010 on a platform of reducing wasted taxpayer spending. After the election, he told supporters:
"Together we built a coalition of voters who agreed with this — to put an end to the wasteful spending and to watch the taxpayers' money and respect the taxpayers' money."
Since his win, Ford has been engaged in a number of controversies. Most agree that he's handled these controversies with little grace. Last year, a video of Ford was released that reportedly appeared to show him smoking crack cocaine and making racist and homophobic remarks. Ford denied any current drug use and didn't acknowledge the video's existence. He later admitted to it, but denied lying about his past drug use.
Ford became a household name over this controversy and has since made headlines for more videos documenting his obscenities. Cleaning up his act would take some work, but he might start by avoiding cameras.
Anthony Weiner
In 2011, Rep. Anthony Weiner made headlines after resigning over an unforgettable Twitter photo. The lewd photo was meant to be sent to a porn actress, but Weiner flubbed, Tweeting it instead. After a few days of embarrassing denials and late show Weiner puns, the politician held a press conference admitting his deeds. Weiner confessed he had "exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years." He resigned on June 21.
Two years later, Weiner was on the road to redemption in the public eye. Returning to politics to run for New York City mayor, Weiner was considered a viable candidate. And then Carlos Danger happened.
It was discovered that, nearly a year after Weiner's initial scandal, he was sending explicit photos to a 22-year-old woman, using the alias "Carlos Danger." During the mayoral primary in September, Weiner lost with less than five percent of the vote.
The public can be forgiving; but perhaps Weiner should consider behaving like a politician instead of a self-described, "perpetually horny middle-aged man." After the primary loss, reporters asked Weiner where he planned to go from here. He responded by flipping the bird--his middle finger, to be clear.
Paula Deen
For a while there, Paula Deen was a beloved food icon. Sure, she pushed gut-busting donut burgers. We didn't care; we loved her and appreciated her southern charm anyway.
But in 2013, Deen made headlines after she became the target of a racial and sexual discrimination lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged that Deen made racist remarks about African-Americans in front of a woman with biracial family members. In the deposition, Deen was asked if she'd ever used the "N-word," to which she replied:
"Yes, of course. But that's just not a word that we use. I don't—I don't know. As time has gone on things have changed since the 60's in the south."
She also expressed an interest in the idea of dressing African-Americans as slaves for a post-Civil War-themed wedding.
Eventually, the suit was dismissed, but Deen was dropped from many of her endorsement contracts, and Food Network cancelled her show.
Can Deen redeem herself? Some time out of the public eye and an education about the Civil Rights movement might do her some good.
Alex Rodriguez
He was a high profile, celebrity-dating sports superstar. But in 2013, while rehabilitating his hip, Yankees player Alex Rodriguez found himself in the middle of a steroid scandal. He was accused of using performance-enhancing drugs.
Since the accusation, Rodriguez's relationship with the Yankees and the MLB has been turbulent. In late 2013, he was dealt a 211-game suspension (later reduced to 162) that kept him from playing for all of 2014. He filed a lawsuit against MLB and the players union in an effort to overturn his suspension. In February of 2014, he dropped the suit and announced that he hopes to return to the Yankees in 2015.
Rodriguez is the only player to have appealed a suspension over PEDs. By dropping the suit and accepting his suspension, he's on the right track to redeeming himself. But the fact remains that Rodriguez was still suspended over the use of PEDs, and to regain the support of his teammates and fans, he might consider dropping his pride, too, if only just a notch.
Chris Christie
Prior to late 2013, Republican governor of New Jersey Chris Christie was generally well-regarded in the public eye, even gaining the support of some left-leaning voters. When Hurricane Sandy hit, the public looked to Christie for relief. When the House postponed an emergency relief bill, Christie stood up for his region, saying it was an act of "selfishness and duplicity."
And then the George Washington Bridge scandal happened. Christie's staff was accused of closing the bridge in order to summon a major traffic jam, all part of a plan to punish a political opponent. Christie denied any involvement and fired his aide, Bridget Anne Kelly, for lying about her involvement in the scandal.
In early 2014, Christie was then accused of holding Hurricane Sandy aid "hostage" from the mayor of Hoboken. Mayor Dawn Zimmer claimed that Christie received a "direct message from the governor" that he would hold up millions in relief funds unless she approved a development project. Christie's camp called the allegations "categorically false."
Christie is on the right track by continuing to focus on his job as governor rather than embattle himself in the scandal. It's up to the public to decide what his political fate will be, but some experts say he's still a lead contender for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination.
Mel Gibson
Where do we begin?
Mel Gibson has a long way to go in redeeming himself. Gibson went from a Hollywood heartthrob to a controversial figure, and it wasn't overnight. After he wowed critics with Passion of the Christ, Gibson went downhill. He had multiple run-ins with the law, and if that wasn't enough, his arrests were met with awful, racist rants. In 2009, Gibson's long-time wife filed for divorce, and he went on to have a child with model Oksana Grigorieva. A year later, they split, and Grigorieva filed a restraining order against Gibson, claiming domestic violence. She later released audio recordings that featured Gibson spouting a racist and sexist diatribe.
Because of his status as a past Hollywood icon, Gibson might still have a chance to redeem himself. But it'll take a lot of downtime and possibly some professional help.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold went from Hollywood golden boy to well-respected politician--not an easy transition. But his career was majorly damaged when it was revealed that he cheated on wife Maria Shriver with their housekeeper, Mildred Baena. Worse, Schwarzenegger fathered a child with Banea, whom he kept secret for many years. The former governor told 60 Minutes that he didn't realize the child was his until the boy "started looking like me, that's when I kind of got it. I put things together."
Schwarzenegger has since expressed regret for his actions, and he appears to be on amicable terms with a forgiving Maria Shriver. In 2012, Schwarzenegger released a book that discussed the scandal. This probably wasn't a great PR move, as it looked like he was capitalizing on the very mistakes he said were responsible for splitting up his family. The book flopped.
Some time away from the public eye might do Arnold some good. And perhaps he should focus more on action movies and less on tell-alls.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber was a Canadian golden boy, and the public loved his humble rise to fame. Sure, there were minor controversies here and there--an alleged temper tantrum on a flight, for example. But in recent months, Bieber has taken a seriously scandalous turn.
In 2013, he was charged with vandalism in Brazil, and in 2014, Bieber was arrested in Miami for suspicion of driving under the influence. He blamed it on a hurt foot, but it was revealed that Beiber had THC and Xanax in his system when arrested. Separately, he was also charged with assaulting a limo driver in Toronto.
But plenty of celebrities have redeemed themselves over worse. By re-embracing his humility and focusing on his music--the reasons the public loved him to begin with--Bieber can easily bounce back.
Michael Vick
Quarterback Michael Vick was an American all-star. But in 2007, he was charged with operating an interstate dog-fighting ring. The then-Falcons player pleaded guilty to the charges and served nearly two years in prison. His endorsers dropped him, and no one in the NFL wanted to work with him. Vick filed for bankruptcy in 2008.
In 2009, Vick was reinstated to the NFL by the Philadelphia Eagles, and he later called himself "a changed man." He has since been working with the Humane Society and has backed an anti-dog fighting bill, saying:
"During my time in prison, I told myself that I wanted to be a part of the solution and not the problem."
Vick has nearly made a full comeback, and, while his name might still conjure thoughts of animal cruelty, he's doing well to focus on his career.
Tonya Harding
Try as she might, Tonya Harding is having a difficult time redeeming herself after the violent 1994 attack on Nancy Kerrigan. The scandal made both figure skaters household names, and the incident was so appalling, Harding may never truly shake the stigma.
In 2014, speaking out about the incident for the first time, Kerrigan revealed just how frightening it was. She told the TODAY show:
"When I read transcripts from the FBI, they planned to kill me at one point. That was one of the options. To kill me over a sporting event. That's crazy."
In 2008, Harding released a book that addressed the scandal and denied complete involvement. A documentary earlier this year brought Harding's name back in the news. In the documentary, Harding maintains that she didn't know about the plan to attack Kerrigan. Harding also said of Kerrigan:
"She's a princess. I'm a piece of crap."
Whether or not Harding is being honest about her claim, a little less denial and self-pity would do her some good in redeeming herself to the public.

Huge difference in digestion!

This began working the first day! It is very beneficial in assisting my with my digestion 'issues'. I love NOW products. Quality as usual!
Now Foods Betaine HCl

I really think these are helping with digestive discomfort and digestion-related allergy reactions. Apparently, there can be a connection with low stomach acid and problems related to SIBO.I read somewhere to take betaine HCl at the end of a meal, rather than before it.
Tried HCl again after many years, and it works
Posted by Umbridge on May 12, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I am very skeptical of digestive enzymes, and of a lot of the crap on the internet about complementary therapies. However, I have IBS and recently had SIBO (which thankfully was cleared up by antibiotics), so I thought I would give this a try to make sure the SIBO doesn't come back and keep my IBS symptoms at bay (along with a low FODMAP diet). I have to say that this supplement works really well for me. I am now taking it in combination with peppermint + oregano oil, but I took it by itself first, and I would say this is the more effective of the two. I don't find that the other digestive enzymes work all that well - rather, I am better off controlling my diet - but these really seem to take some of the burden off for those of us with sluggish digestion. I tried HCl about 10 years ago with no success, so I am not sure if it's this brand that is better, changing circumstances, or the addition of Betaine that makes these work. Whatever it is, I have purchased again, and plan to use them while I recover from the digestive woes of several months of travel!
recommended - one of the better HCl caps out there
Posted by IHeartIHerb on Jun 30, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
i can't be 100% sure what's going on down there in my stomach and whether or not my low HCl has been resolved... however i will say that i do notice a difference when i take these with meat/high protein meals (i use the digestive enzymes for high carb meals). there does seem to be something happening (versus the food 'just sitting there' in my stomach when i don't take these). i think i had/have really low HCl because i've taken up to 10 of these per meal (steak dinner or very high protein meal) with zero burning sensation. i'm a fan of Now products in general. they definitely are superior to a lot of other brands out there in terms of fewer additives and fillers. however i'm not a fan of the v-caps -- or "cellulose" -- you're essentially ingesting plastic! and i wish they would stop putting so much magnesium stearate in their pills.
It does its job

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Now the Worries Start
Lightning Round
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), Hain Celestial Group (HAIN), Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP), Expedia (EXPE), Ford Motor (F) and Weyerhaeuser (WY).
Cramer was bearish on Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN), Priceline.com (PCLN), Sony (SNE), Toyota Motor (TM) and NextEra Energy (NEE).
Mad Mail
In the "Mad Mail" viewer feedback segment, Cramer followed up on Globus Medical (GMED) a recent biotech IPO. He said this company has some headwinds and he'd rather be in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).Cramer was also cautious on Northern Tier Energy (NTI), a master limited partnership with a 12% yield. Cramer said this company is also intriguing, but he prefers Holly Frontier (HFC). Cramer was more upbeat on Casey's General (CASY), saying this stock can be bought and has about 10 points of upside. He was less optimistic on Sodastream (SODA), however, calling the stock "controversial." Finally, when asked how to play stocks like Limited Brands (LTD) that offer special dividends, Cramer said it's not magic, share prices just get adjusted after the dividend is paid. If you liked the stock before, he said, you should still like it after the dividend.
No Huddle OffenseIn his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer opined on the bizarre moves in the tech sector. He said the markets continue to pound all things Apple including such stocks as Cirrus Logic (CRUS) and Qualcomm (QCOM). Meanwhile, stocks including Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Microsoft (MSFT) continue as lessons in losing money. But other areas of tech are doing well, noted Cramer, including Adobe (ADBE), Juniper Networks (JNPR) and EMC (EMC). Cramer told investors they need to stick with companies that are beating expectations and steer clear of Apple, as least until year's end.

Total team effort behind Saints win
Posted: September 30, 2013
The Varsity Football Saints defeated the Ashbury College Colts 57-30 Saturday afternoon in Ottawa. Jonathan Femi-Cole led the way with four touchdowns, while quarterback Chris Merchant threw two touchdown passes to Zach Marcus and another to Ryan Keays. Young quarterback Cam Valardo rounded out the scoring with a rushing touchdown.
The defence was led by Fraser Sopik, along with Callum Green and Jordan Carter.
Every member of the Saints roster was able to play quite a bit. It was a solid afternoon in advance of this Friday night's showdown at Upper Canada College.
The undefeated Saints will face the undefeated Blues in a battle for first place and a rematch of the past three CISAA championship games. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. under the lights.
Go Saints!
Story by Len Gurr, Varsity Football Head Coach

I'm losing one blue spruce after another. Branches die at the base near the trunk, though tips stay green at first. Then it works its way up until the entire tree dies. It takes a few years. I don't see any signs of insects. They're planted on a hill in clay soil.
Cytospora canker disease is extremely common on blue spruce. This fungus targets blue spruce stressed by drought or poor site conditions. Spores invade through openings such as mower wounds. Older (lower) branches are more susceptible than younger ones. Symptoms include resin flow on dying branches that dries to flaky white patches, sometimes with black spots (spores) nearby. Fungicides are not effective. Pruning off infected branches can stop its progress up the tree, if the fungus has not gotten into the trunk. Remove any infected branches or trunks from the site. Call us or see our website for more information.
Parts of my front yard are so full of compacted clay that neither weeds nor grass will grow. Can I till in some compost now, well before I plant in spring, or will I just be wasting time and money?
Winter soil is usually wet, because low air temperatures don't cause moisture to evaporate quickly. Working in wet soils containing clay can destroy soil structure, making it brick-like for years. Keep in mind that late August-early September is the best time to plant grass seed. Spring-planted grass often doesn't make it through the summer, which really wastes time and money. You can definitely do a soil test and add lime now (to unfrozen soil), then add organic matter in spring.

Plant of the week
Lamb's ears 'Helene von Stein'
Stachys byzantine 'Helene von Stein'
Don't let the tender fuzzy leaves of lamb's ears fool you. This silvery groundcover, grown primarily for its foliage, stays attractive in summer and winter. The soft velvet-like texture begs to be petted, making it perfect for a children's garden as well as perennial bed or edging. "Helene von Stein" is one of the best cultivars, with larger leaves, a higher tolerance of heat and humidity, and a tendency not to flower, so no deadheading is required. (Standard varieties have 18- to 24-inch spires of small violet flowers in summer.) Stachys takes full sun or partial shade, and well-drained soil is essential. It is deer-resistant and drought-tolerant. Spring division every 2-3 years is suggested. — Debbie Ricigliano

Playing Dead
Part of a series on Photo Fads. [View Related Entries]
PROTIP: Press 'i' to view the image gallery, 'v' to view the video gallery, or 'r' to view a random entry.
Playing Dead (시체놀이) is a mass-participatory photo meme that swept across South Korean lulz communities and social networking sites, beginning sometime in early 2003.
The earliest origin of "playing dead" can be traced back to Crayon Shin-Chan[1], a popular 90s Japanese manga by Yoshito Usui. In the series, Shin-chan (the main character) often plays a prank on his mother by pretending to be dead on the floor as she returns home from running errands. The manga became an international hit throughout the late nineties and in early 2003, group photos of S. Korean school pupils "playing dead" began to emerge on the web[2]. Subsequently, the prank became a national meme throughout all demographics, from kindergartners and high school students to all sorts of people at work and housewives at home.
Precursor: Survival Instinct
It is difficult to strictly define the act of playing dead as an internet-born phenomenon; after all, possums are well known for playing dead in the presence of prey, and what's scary, so are certain types of snakes. Even people resort to playing dead in life-threatening circumstances, like during epic battles and encounters with raging wild bears. But. It should be also noted that without the Internets, I would've never guessed that all these people were alive in the first place to play dead & take pictures of it.
Due to its immense popularity, Playing Dead became one of the earliest memes to be documented by the Korean media. According to the newspapers, the term "playing dead" was first introduced to the mass audience through a popular comedy/variety show (aired in early 2003), during which Shin-Chan is cited as the source of origin. Upsurge in sales of digital cameras during the early 2000s also seems to have played a role in the rise of the meme.
Popular Japanese manga → Popular Korean variety show → Internet meme
How to Play Dead
The main objective of playing dead is to display both comical and convincing sight of death by tactfully staging a disheveled pile of bodies within a given space. For example, the image on the left illustrates a classic example of "playing dead," while the one on the right is a less stunning iteration, as the participants appear to be passed out or asleep rather than dead:
Notable Examples
Development in the West
Funny pics of people playing dead also have emerged in the English-speaking web on sites like playdeadpics.com, but it seems to exist as a niche interest at the most. It's also interesting how this eccentric sport of "playing dead" developed into a group arts project within certain social networks, like the Flickr group[3] featuring over 600 submissions as well as DeviantART[4] with over 2000 submissions.
Later on, visually similar games that involve lying on the ground emerged elsewhere with the French website A plat ventre (on one's belly) in 2004, the UK Facebook group Lying Down Game in 2010 and most recently the Australian Facebook community Planking in 2011.

People caught being good in 2012
The extraordinary nature of ordinary people.
There have been times, too many times, like now when we need a reminder that people are at their core kind and good. That we look out for each other. That we don't turn off the part of us that tells us to put someone else's needs above our own wants.
Fortunately, you don't have to look far. Doing right seldom makes the news, but here is a small sampling of stories that did in 2012. Tip of the hat to Gawker, which compiled 26 Moments that Restored Our Faith in Humanity This Year, with some moving images of people caught in the act of being good.

• High-school senior Greg Zenas, who has Down syndrome, spent six years as team manager for the soccer team at Dexter High School in Michigan. Season after season, he filled up water bottles, cleaned up the benches, and gathered player uniforms. But at a game following senior night in October, coach Scott Forrester approached Greg with a bag of gear and told him to suit up — he had a spot at forward with the rest of the team starters. Zenas needed a little help from teammates deciding which way to run, but he played half the game to a roaring crowd. After a 4-0 win, the team carried Zenas off the field on their shoulders.
• A woman at a restaurant has a note passed anonymously to a young couple: I wanted to offer to hold your sweet baby while you both ate lunch, but my husband said I'd look like a stalker =). So, I'm buying your lunch instead. Enjoy that sweet baby — we have teenagers. I know what's ahead for you, so snuggle your wee one while you can!
More from Living: Ugly holiday sweaters
• NYPD Officer Lawrence DiPrimo saw a man on the sidewalk with no shoes on a cold November night, marched into a nearby shoestore, and bought him a $100 pair of all-weather boots. Officer DiPrimo didn't know anyone was watching but a tourist saw it all and captured an image of the officer kneeling in front of the barefoot man, Jeffrey Hillman. DiPrimo was celebrated in the press but then news stories followed up explaining Hillman was not homeless, counter to prior reports, and had been arrested on a number of charges before, had horded the shoes instead of wearing them, and was bitter for not getting "a piece of the pie" when the story went viral. None of it changes what DiPrimo did.
• People show their true selves under duress, and there was plenty of it to go around after Hurricane Sandy pounded the East. When the storm killed power in downtown New York City, first responders and staff at NYU Langone Medical Center successfully evacuated hundreds of patients one by one, many still in their beds, down stairwells lit only by flashlights. The patients included four newborns on respirators in the hospital's pediatric intensive care unit, who were kept alive by nurses who manually squeezed air into the babies' lungs as they were transported to safety.
Then there's the Indiana mother who lost her legs shielding her children from a tornado; the citizens of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut hit by Sandy who saved one another's lives, gave away free food and medical care, and shared their homes; the young boy in Libya seen holding up a sign at a protest saying Sorry people of America this is not the behavior of our Islam and Profit [sic]; the filmmaker who helped draw a crowd to the DIY cardboard arcade made by 9-year-old Caine Monroy (and subsequently helped raise $225,000 toward Caine's college education); and the 6-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who couldn't get up on two legs before his Marine father was deployed, but walked to him at his homecoming.
The stories that make news don't come anywhere close to capturing the unsung good done everyday by our soldiers, our first responders, our healthcare workers, our countless charities...or anyone with the natural inclination to help a stranger or find a kind word to say.

There's suddenly a ton of reverse!verse art around, so I jumped on the bandwagon.
Castiel is a priest whose faith is hanging by a thread; he believes god exists, but despite Dean's insistence, he also thinks god has abandoned humanity. He's one of Azazel's babies.
Gabriel is Castiel's brother and the Righteous Man who resorts to jokes and pranks to hide his intense self-loathing and exhaustion. He would rather step aside and let the apocalypse happen if not for Castiel's involvement.
Dean is the angel who raised Gabriel from hell. His vessel is Dean Smith, a Sandover salesman looking for a promotion.
Sam is a mental patient who swears he can hear angels talking about the apocalypse.
Together, they fight supernatural crime.

Lizzie Cundy is a good friend of socialite Tamara Ecclestone and thought that summer was too hot for wearing any intimates. While I am positive that she is braless, as far as I can guess, like Anja Rubik she has no panties on either.

Lawsuit Asks FDA to Regulate Salty Foods
Restaurants: How Big a Contribution to Salty Diets? continued...
"Clearly most companies have not been making an effort, certainly restaurants have not been making an effort," Jacobson says.
Robert Earl, senior director for nutrition policy at the Food Products Association, a lobbying group for the processed food industry, says in an interview that his industry has gradually cut sodium levels over time, even in traditionally high-salt foods such as pretzels and potato chips.
He also says that grocery store packages alert consumers to sodium content and that increasing consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is a widely known method of cutting sodium consumption.
"The [U.S.] dietary guidelines recommend a food pattern that if Americans were motivated to follow it would reduce their sodium," he says.
Case in Court
CSPI filed a lawsuit Wednesday in federal court, urging a judge to order the FDA to determine whether salt is a safe food additive. The group alleges that the FDA pledged in 1984 to issue conclusions on salt's safety but never completed the review.
Jacobson said that "not a single" FDA scientist is dedicated to reviewing sodium levels in the U.S. food supply, despite the mineral's probable contribution to heart disease and strokes.
"Without the court's intervention, the FDA will almost certainly continue to delay. Because the millions of Americans at risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease are paying for the FDA's delay with their health, the court should compel FDA to take prompt action," the complaint states.
The FDA "is currently evaluating CSPI's report on salt, including the recommendations," says FDA spokeswoman Kathleen Quinn. She declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Idris Khan
"Drawing his inspiration from the history of art and music as well as key philosophical and theological texts, Idris Khan investigates memory, creativity and the layering of experience. Khan's works rely on a continuous process of creating and erasing, or adding new layers whilst retaining traces of what has gone before."
"The process allows the artist to tease out certain areas adjusting the source material so that the soul of the piece is manifested in Khan's accreted interpretation.
For example, in Struggling to Hear… After Ludwig van Beethoven's Sonatas, Beethoven's entire series of sonatas becomes a dense wall of near blackness; a virtual illustration of the composer's deafness."

Raw Carrot Cake With Cashew Vanilla Frosting
My friend, Rachel, was one of my main inspirations for learning more about eating raw.
Last year she decided to give up cooked food and go raw for Lent. During the process, I was so impressed by her commitment to try tons of new raw recipes each week, and by the fact that she didn't "cheat" a single time! More than anything, I was intrigued by how well she said that she felt when eating raw.
But a few days into our raw week, I was already bored and frustrated with smoothies and salads, mostly because I hadn't made time to research raw recipes. So Rachel graciously sent us an amazing list of her favorites recipes, which was a huge relief and inspiration. She had everything from sprout burgers, to nori rolls, to lasagna and empanadas. But my eyes immediately locked on the words CARROT CAKE. My favorite. :)
Somewhat to my surprise, it was incredible!!! The "cake" was a breeze to make in the food processor, and once I threw in my favorite carrot cake spices and lots of fresh carrots, it tasted just like the real deal! The frosting was a little more of a stretch from the typical cream cheese frosting, but it was still sweet and "creamy" and paired well with the carrot cake. I opted to make mine bite-sized with my favorite mini cheesecake pan, but you could easily turn these into bars or normal-sized cake slices.
Definitely a winner of a raw recipe in my book! Thanks, Rachel!!
Raw Carrot Cake with Cashew Vanilla Frosting
- 3 cups shredded carrots (about 1 lb.)
- 8 oz. (about 1 cup) pitted dates
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- (optional) 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 cups raw cashews, soaked overnight
- 2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup water (use more or less to achieve desired consistency)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- pinch of salt
Pulse together all ingredients in a food processor until well-blended. Press mixture into a mini cheesecake pan or mini 4-inch springform pans or an 8-inch springform pan, or just a simple 8-inch baking pan. Top with Raw Cashew Vanilla Frosting just before serving (recipe below).
Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor until blended. Add extra water to thin to your desired consistency if needed.

A safe and sustainable environment is everyone's responsibility, but only one organization blends the experienced leadership and broad resources necessary to produce a consensus document to orchestrate our entire industry's efforts to go "green." With more than 80 years in focused code development and model codes that protect half the world's population, IAPMO is the natural choice in developing such a document that will equip our industry with the tools to build a better, more sustainable coexistence with the planet.
IAPMO Seeks Proposals for 2015 Edition of Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code SupplementThe International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) is revising the 2012 edition of the Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code Supplement (GPMCS) as part of its commitment to ensuring plumbing and mechanical systems are safe and sustainable while keeping pace with the rapid pace of emerging technology. The GPMCS is the most comprehensive document ever created to standardize sustainable residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical systems.
The GPMCS is open for code change proposal submissions until June 18, 2014. Click here to download the Form for Proposals. The 2012 edition of the GPMCS may be purchased at IAPMO's Online Store.

The proposals will be reviewed and voted on by the Green Technical Committee at the August 21-22, 2014, meeting in Ontario, California. The GTC vote results will be distributed for a 45-day public comment period in October 2014.
CommitmentLong time leader in sustainable model code provisions:
Purchase Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code Supplement
Green Technical Committee
The supplement is not a "greener" version of the Uniform Codes, but rather, the Green Supplement:
Where applicable, the Green supplement establishes:
GPMCS Maintenance Process
IAPMO's maintenance process for the Green Plumbing and Mechanical Code Supplement (GPMCS) is a consensus process. The process invites the participation of the IAPMO members and the general public. Anyone may participate by attending committee meetings, and proposing changes to the GPMCS. A summary of the procedures and the comment submittal form can be downloaded here.
The GPMCS is developed under a continuous maintenance process where the committee can take action on proposals and release addenda or new edition after a 45 day public comment period and committee approval.

Massive E3 Game Release ListPosted on Jul 16, 2010 under e3 | 4 Comments
I was at E3 this year, but somehow I spent most of my time being on the wrong side of the conference center (why didn't anyone tell me the LA conference center was so big?) or wandering around in sensory overload (videos do not do it justice), or meeting friends (yay!). Fortunately the BingeGamer crew made better use of their time than I did, and offers a a massive list of games and release dates from E3:
Every year, E3 brings us more game announcements than one human could possibly keep track of. Unless that human is named Allison Boyer. Because she's so awesome, that for a second year in a row, she's compiled a list of all the games shown and/or announced at E3, along with their release dates.
She would be much more awesome if she wasn't writing this herself, in third person.

Bladder Cancer Treatment (Professional) (cont.)
Cellular Classification of Bladder Cancer
More than 90% of bladder carcinomas are transitional cell carcinomas derived from the uroepithelium. About 6% to 8% are squamous cell carcinomas, and 2% are adenocarcinomas.[1] Adenocarcinomas may be either of urachal origin or of nonurachal origin; the latter type is generally thought to arise from metaplasia of chronically irritated transitional epithelium.[2] Pathologic grade, which is based on cellular atypia, nuclear abnormalities, and the number of mitotic figures is of great prognostic importance.
Stage Information for Bladder Cancer
Note: This Stage Information section has been updated to include information from the seventh edition (2010) of the American Joint Committee on Cancer's AJCC Cancer Staging Manual. The PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board, which is responsible for maintaining this summary, is currently reviewing the new staging categories to determine whether additional changes need to be made to other parts of the summary. Any necessary changes will be made as soon as possible.
The clinical staging of carcinoma of the bladder is determined by the depth of invasion of the bladder wall by the tumor. This determination requires a cystoscopic examination that includes a biopsy, and examination under anesthesia to assess the size and mobility of palpable masses, the degree of induration of the bladder wall, and the presence of extravesical extension or invasion of adjacent organs. Clinical staging, even when computed tomographic and/or magnetic resonance imaging scans and other imaging modalities are used, often underestimates the extent of tumor, particularly in cancers that are less differentiated and more deeply invasive.[1,2,3]
Definitions of TNM
The American Joint Committee on Cancer has designated staging by TNM classification to define bladder cancer.[4]
Table 1. Primary Tumor (T)a
Table 2. Regional Lymph Nodes (N)a,b
Table 3. Distant Metastasis (M)a
Table 4. Anatomic Stage/Prognostic Groupsa
An older, less frequently used staging system was derived by comparing clinical estimates of stage with the pathologic stage of radical cystectomy specimens.[2,3] To better ensure uniform staging and reporting of clinical results, the use of the modern TNM classification described above is recommended.
