If you intend to add this to your completed games list then go for the acheesement achievement first. In my opinion this is the hardest achievement in the game because its not skill based at all. I had every other achievement in less than a week and it took me a full month just to get 10 mouse trap wins. The AI is horrible and when I did multiplayer with my wife it gave her the wins wether she was 1st player or 2nd. Literally i had her as player 2 and she won 8 times in a row so I switched my profile to player 2 and made her player 1 she won 4 more in a row before I gave up. For a game that has a 50/50 chance of me winning the match it sure was lopsided. Because of this I will never play another family game night game. I loved the original set released for xbox live but this was just garbage. The actual board games are fun but they somehow made it miserable in the videogame form. Anyways dont even attempt the full 1000 if you cant unlock acheesment. The only reason I eventually unlocked it was I took advice from another forum member and bought a rapid fire controller and left it on overnight after trying for a month to get it regularly!!! If anyone else would like to chime in for this thread I'm curious if you agree or thought a different achievement was more difficult for this horrible horrible game.

Foundation grantmaking focuses on four major program areas.
These programs touch upon a number of major issues.
Each grantmaking program also works within clearly stated geographic parameters or regions.
For general information and resources about philanthropy,
visit our Philanthropy Resources page.
Looking for a specific grant?
Securing enough clean water to support both people and the environment presents what we call the freshwater challenge. In areas where freshwater is in relative abundance, the challenge involves protecting and restoring natural supplies. In other places, it requires more efficient and effective use of an already scarce resource.
The bulk of the Mott Foundation's environmental work in the United States focuses on the freshwater challenge, with special emphasis on the country's Great Lakes region.
Our grantmaking aims to achieve two objectives:
Strengthening the Environmental Community
We seek a strong, effective and sustainable community of non-governmental organizations dedicated to the long-term conservation of freshwater ecosystems. We award grants to:

Omerta and Omerta: City of Gangsters offer cross-promotional prizes
Normally when two games have the same title their respective law departments
make a killing go to war, but Haemimont's tactical effort Omerta: City of Gangsters and free-to-play MMO Omerta have joined forces instead.
UK players can log into Omerta, a decade-old browser-based affair with 4.7 million players, and redeem a code found inside new retail copies of Omerta: City of Gangsters; they'll then be in the running to score prizes once you reach Associate level in-game.
Prizes include iPads, Samsung Galaxy Notes, and thousands more – and everyone wins something.
Omerta: City of Gangsters is the latest from the Tropico team and is due on PC on February 12.

Score Monger
|Complete 30 challenges in one Interval
This achievement is not as hard as it sounds. For this you will need to learn to maximize your challenges. Instead of just taking headshots, do a headshot in slow-motion while in active cover. Use grenades when enemies are clumped together. When fighting a Phase Caster don't kill him too quickly, they summon enemies that can help you work on more kill challenges. Every body you make a psychic link with also counts as a challenge, so if you can link 10 bodies in one interval that's 10 challenges right there. Once you learn the best way to maximize your challenges, getting 30+ in any interval is easy.

going vegan...hopefully.
Over a year ago
im 14, and my family and friends are 100% percent against it. i cant get any of them to read or watch anything about what they do to to animals, and my mom and i talk about it all the time and she just says im way to young and its so unheathy. ive shown her that it really isnt unheathy and that i will still get nutrients, but she still wont let me.i even use the alternitives to milk but i always have to go back to using real milk and eggs. Any one have any advice about how they got their parents to let them go vegan?
o i am a strict vegitarian. i dont use anything that test on animals, i dont eat gelitan, seafood, or meat…ovbiously

My eating habits were already… ehh.. weird. And I think when I was a young child, if they tried to get me to eat something different, I just wouldn't eat. That's how I got them to let me be vegetarian (although I didn't think about it that way- I just didn't want to eat meat, along with most everything).
So while my mom didn't like the idea, she wasn't going to not let me do it and not buy me food.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Bat Falcon (Falco rufigularis)
Bat Falcon having breakfast in early morning light

Had greatest of difficulty deciding if alternate id of Orange-breasted Falcon is more accurate. In the end I suppose the 5 white bands and white tip in the tail favours Bat.

Dwarfcraft Hax Ring Mod
This is a strange, dangerous, and generally freakish pedal from Dwarfcraft Devices. It will sonically do a lot, but it will do it in a mind-warping and most twisted fashion. The Hax is part ring modulator, part synthesizer, and part guitar mutator that will deliver noisy fuzzy fuzz noise. The Hax creates a squarewave at a predetermined musical distance from the input signal to generate all kinds of sonic mayhem. The Tune dial adjusts the ring modulation, and if you use a Moog Expression pedal you can activate and change tones hands-free. The Blend control allows you to have full modulation or a clean tone dialed in. You can get pitch-shifter effects out of the Hax, but beware...they will be dirty, fuzzy,and nasty. The Dwarfcraft has a very broad oscillator range, so get everything from robotic belches and demonic squeals. The High/Low switch changes the oscillator's range and quick switch between tones. The Crash knob is fairly unpredictable (in a good way) and will add some maddening and massively deranged sheets of sonic splat to the ring mod sounds. This is a truly creative and unique pedal that will add some true weirdness to your sound.
Dwarfcraft Hax Ring Mod
If you need some real insane sounds, and you are a true sonic experimenter, than the Hax needs to get into your hands. Go from burping and grinding robotic sickness to scuzzed out pitch shifting. Then make sure to add an expression pedal to dial in some real weirdness. The Hax would make great partners with a player who plans on decimating his audience's expectations and sanity.
Dwarfcraft Hax Ring Mod Features:
- Expression pedal control input
- Ring tune dial
- Blend control
- Hi/Low stop switch - go from smooth pitch control to mind warping high end pitch shifting
- Bypass switch
- Crash knob
- LED illumination

Amazon.com Review
Waldman, who worked for Clinton from 1992 to 1999, is an unabashed supporter: "I was proud to work for Clinton, proud of what he accomplished for the country. For all his mistakes, I think that Bill Clinton was not only a successful president, but an important one." In other words, this is no kiss-and-tell memoir of the type that haunted the Reagan administration. Instead, it is the story of how an administration built its rhetoric around its policies, as told by a key player and an apologist. Waldman describes, for instance, how Bob Dole inspired that phrase about building a bridge to the 21st century: during his acceptance speech at the GOP convention in 1996, Dole said he wanted to "be the bridge to a time of tranquility, faith, and confidence in action"--i.e., the past. Waldman also recounts a few hilarious anecdotes, such as what happened when he saw Robert McNamara and Ira Magaziner--the failed gurus of the Vietnam War and the Clinton health-care plan, respectively--meet in the White House mess. Another example: "Every few days, in the morning staff meetings, [economic advisor] Gene Sperling would issue a cryptic report on the fluctuations of a currency. 'The Thai baht took a big hit today,' he would announce.... The staff would nod gravely, as if we knew whether there was, in fact, a Thai baht." POTUS Speaks is simultaneously loyal and revealing--a neat trick. It's an entertaining account of the Clinton presidency told from an insider's perspective. --John J. Miller

I hear a lot of people saying "Send me an invite". I always thought that it was an 'invitation'. Is "sending one an invite" accepted usage? Or is it incorrect? If I need to get my wedding invitation printed, should it read "Wedding Invitation" or a "Wedding Invite"? Is this a US/UK usage difference?

Invite has been in use as a colloquial form of invitation since at least the mid-seventeenth century. There's nothing wrong with it in the right place, but in formal contexts such as a printed card invitation would be the word to use.
Invitation is the more accepted noun to use.
Using invite as a noun is informal. I've found it prevalent in the U.S. and internet culture, though it's growing here in the U.K. too.
I suspect that the growth in usage comes from internet applications, particularly the developer-driven Facebook. Developers don't like to type or read any more text than they need to, and invitation is longer and harder to spell. We're so lazy. I apologise.
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, editions 9, 10, and 11 (1983, 1993, and 2003) have this entry for invite as a noun:
where "invitation 1" can mean "a : the act of inviting b : an often formal request to be present or participate." The 1659 date almost certainly refers to the Hamon L'Estrange instance that Barrie England cites. From Hamon L'Estrange, Alliance of Divine Offices (1659):
Editions 7 (1963) and 8 (1973) of the Collegiate Dictionary, however, include a significant additional label in their definition of the term:
Earlier editions (1 through 6) of the Collegiate Dictionary have no entry for invite as a noun. Indeed, many English and American dictionaries fail to acknowledge the existence of invite as a noun in the period between 1756 and 1961: Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1756); Webster's Compendious Dictionary of the English Language (1806); Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language (1828); Worcester's Comprehensive Dictionary (1845); Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language (1847); Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language (1864); Worcester's Comprehensive Dictionary (1874); Webster's International Dictionary (1890); Webster's New International Dictionary (1909); and Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, First through Sixth Editions (1898, 1910, 1916, 1931, 1936, and 1949).
More-recent dictionaries do list invite as a noun, but often with usage labels that don't indicate unqualified support for using it in every situation where "invitation 1" might be appropriate. The Oxford Universal Dictionary (1955), for example, characterizes the noun form of invite as "colloq. or vulgar." Simon & Schuster's Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary (1983) labels it "Slang." The Random House College Dictionary (1984) calls it "Chiefly Dial." And The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, First, Edition (1969), Third Edition (1992), and Fourth Edition (2000); Encarta World English Dictionary (1999); The New Oxford American Dictionary (2001); and The Concise Oxford English Dictionary (2002) all list it as "informal."
This record suggests three things: First, if invite as a noun was popular prior to Samuel Johnson's day, it went into so severe an eclipse over the 200-year period that followed his dictionary that (Fanny Burney's endorsement in 1778 notwithstanding) of the many standard dictionary published between 1756 and 1961 that I consulted, only The Oxford Universal Dictionary included it all. Second, when it did begin to pop up in everyday, single-volume dictionaries starting in the 1960s, it did so with the explicit observation that it was a colloquial, vulgar, chiefly dialectal, slang, or informal term. Third, even in the crop of dictionaries that emerged in the period between 1999 and 2003, only Merriam-Webster's dictionary lists it without the label "informal."
As invite as a noun grows more and more common in everyday use, Merriam-Webster's decision to treat it as simply a standard English word (that is, as a word whose appearance in the dictionary doesn't call for a clarifying usage label) moves closer and closer to vindication. But at this point, invite hasn't yet become completely interchangeable with "invitation 1."

Schindler's List is a 1993 American epic historical period drama film, directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg and scripted by Steven Zaillian. It is based on the novel Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally, an Australian novelist. The film is based on the life of Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler, Ralph Fiennes as Schutzstaffel (SS) officer Amon Goeth, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern. Wikipedia
Amon Goeth: Oskar, there's a clerical error here at the bottom of the last page.
Oskar Schindler: No, there's one more name I want to put there. I'll never find a maid as well trained as her at Brinnlitz. They are all country girls.
Amon Goeth: (referring to Helen) No. No.
Oskar Schindler: One hand of 21. If you win, I pay you 7400 Reichmarks. Hit a natural and I make it 14800. If I win, the girl goes on my list.
Amon Goeth: I can't wager Helen in a card game.
Oskar Schindler: Why not?
Amon Goeth: Wouldn't be right.
Oskar Schindler: She's going to Auschwitz on Number Two anyway. What difference does it make?
Amon Goeth: She's not going to Auschwitz. I'd never do that to her. No, I want her to come back to Vienna with me. I want her to come to work for me there. I want to grow old with her.
Oskar Schindler: Are you mad? Amon, you can't take her to Vienna with you.
Amon Goeth: No, of course I can't. That's what I'd like to do. What I can do, if I'm any sort of a man is the next most merciful thing. I should take her into the woods and shoot her painlessly in the back of the head.
Amon Goeth: What was it you said for a natural 21? Was it 14800?

Counselling is a therapy that aims to develop supportive, trusting, non-judgemental and safe environment between you and your counsellor in which you can explore yourself, issues and concerns as deeply as you wish.
The aim of counselling is not for the counsellor to tell you what to do or to give advice but to help you come to your own understanding about yourself and your life, in order that you can then make your own decisions and choices.
The surgery offers you the opportunity to have weekly, fifty minute sessions with your counsellor. In your first session you and your counsellor will discuss your needs. Usually up to eight sessions can be offered.
We operate a waiting list - if you would like your name put onto the list please contact reception.

Research has found that the appearance of women's apparel helps increase their attractiveness as rated by men and that men care more about physical features in potential opposite-sex mates. However, the effect of sartorial appearance has received little interest from scientists. In a series of studies, the length of women's shoe heels was examined. A woman confederate wearing black shoes with 0, 5, or 9 cm heels asked men for help in various circumstances. In Study 1, she asked men to respond to a short survey on gender equality. In Study 2, the confederate asked men and women to participate in a survey on local food habit consumption. In Study 3, men and women in the street were observed while walking in back of the female confederate who dropped a glove apparently unaware of her loss. It was found that men's helping behavior increased as soon as heel length increased. However, heel length had no effect on women's helping behavior. It was also found that men spontaneously approached women more quickly when they wore high-heeled shoes (Study 4). Change in gait, foot-size judgment, and misattribution of sexiness and sexual intent were used as possible explanations.
