Happy Pets brings all the horses to the yard with new decor
Under ideal conditions, your Happy Pets yard can look like the one in the image above, but unless you've 320 Facebook Credits (roughly $32 USD) to spend on building a horse stable, or enough friends to send you the 80 items required, all those pretty horses you see there will remain a "look, but no touch" deal.
Until you get that stable out of the way, you could settle for pimpin' a yard for those horses instead. Four new items are now available at the yard store, including a new wallpaper, Horse Farm, which goes for whoppin' 11,250 Coins, while netting buyers 1,688 XP. Fortunately, it's not a premium item, but it's still six times the cost of the regulars. The new decor pieces are Pitchfork (350 Coins), Haystack (400 Coins), and Cow Skull (5,500 Coins).
As for other horse-related goodies, rocking horses are now available for free on the gifts page. They're being offered in the colors Brown, Pink and Blue.

Social City's Limited Edition real estate: Stadium, McMansion, and Jewelry Store
Social City Football Stadium, Mauve McMansion, and Jewelry Store
Three new premium-priced Social City buildings are now up for City Bucks while supplies last -- two leisure buildings and one residential. These are Football Stadium (69 CB), Mauve McMansion (30 CB), and Jewelry Store (24 CB).
Football Stadium is the priciest and largest attraction, taking up a 3x3 square grid. It earns 10,000 Coins every 2 days and grants an amazing 60,000+ Happiness Points. The MegaCorp Tower, a non-premium attraction that unlocks at level 32, only puts out 40,000+ tops. But for what's essentially the price of $7 USD, the stats on the Stadium do need to be high.
Mauve McMansion brings in 500 Population Points, which the A-Frame House 1 is also capable of, but at four times the size. Clearly, getting the McMansion is all a matter of looks. The A-Frame goes for just 20,000 Coins.
Jewelry Store is another case of looks over functionality. It earns a meager 200 Coins every 2 days, a construction XP of 230, and Happiness Points at +7,000. For a store of its ilk, one would expect a little more profit. But for a store of its price, you are getting what you've paid for.

FarmVille makes TIME Magazine's Top 50 Worst Inventions List
TIME Magazine has released its list of "50 Worst Inventions" and somehow FarmVille has made the list of one of the fifty!
The list of fifty worst inventions is compiled of "the world's bright ideas that just didn't work out". I'm not sure how TIME is rating success, as over 80 million people from around the world are playing FarmVille and the game developer, Zynga, has made itself a billion dollar company largely with the help of their number one game, FarmVille. It seems a little ridiculous for FarmVille to be on the same "50 Worst Inventions" list along with Agent Orange and Asbestos. For the complete list of fifty inventions read here: TIME's Complete List of 50 Worst Inventions
According to TIME, FarmVille deserves a spot on their worst list because of its addictive nature and for it's attribute of triggering unproductivty as a time-waster encouraging players to do "mindless chores on a digital farm, requiring endless clicking of a mouse to plant and harvest crops". Even so, Zynga, referred to as "evil geniuses" by TIME must have gotten something right with their "worst invention" because over "ten percent of Americans (alone) have created their online homestead (farms)."
What do you think FarmVille Freaks, should FarmVille deserve a spot on this list?

Treasure Isle: Fire God Mountain takes players to the Center of the Earth
Treasure Isle Fire God Mountain is open
The anticipation for the newest, hottest map of Treasure Isle has been so intense, there's even an official Facebook fanpage of 64,000+ members -- the Treasure Isle's Volcano Diggers Anonymous -- devoted to it. But today, the wait for Fire God Mountain is finally over!
To reach Fire God Mountain, you need to travel to the first page of Tiki Isles, where you'll spot a burning, animated volcano in the north. To get in, you're going to need 5 tubes of SPF-3000. To note, you'll start with 6 tubes for free, but it won't be enough on the long dig down, so you've gotta use Wall posts (those tubes aren't giftable) to request more from fellow players.
Treasure Isle: Enter the Volcano
Beating the Mountain maps requires completely new strategies and tools. There are 14 levels to explore. Fruits-wise, only Lava Mangoes will work in the mountain for energy replenishment. (You can also use Energy Packs.) Instead of dumbly plowing through every tile, you'll need to dig SMART and FAST.
Treasure Isle: Really Close and Nearby
For more info, check out the "Volcano FAQ" tab on your Treasure Island window, and the newly updated Fire God Mountain Info Thread at the Zynga forums. Click here to launch the game and get digging!
