How to Win at Monopoly
Five Parts:Playing SmartBuying Properties and Building StrategicallyPlaying to WinPlaying DirtySkipping Payment of Rent Where Possible
To win monopoly, you need to bankrupt all of your opponents before they can do the same to you. With each decision you make, it's essential to consider the best ways to improve your chances and beat the competition. While luck is a factor in winning Monopoly, fortune can be fickle - easily turning against you when your guard is down. You can learn how to craft the smartest strategy to maximize your opportunities and give yourself a chance to win. See Step 1 for more information.
Part 1 of 5: Playing Smart
1Learn how players move around the board. While you probably don't need to get into blackjack territory, statistically speaking, it's good to learn a little bit about your probability of landing on particular spaces, rolling particular numbers, and the likelihood of landing on a given property.
- With the most possibilities of dice combinations, 7 is the most common roll on any given turn, and 2 and 12 are the least probable.
- It takes 5 or 6 rolls to circle the board once, typically. Because 28 of the 40 spaces are property spaces, you will likely land on four of those 28 property spaces, statistically.
- You've got a 17% chance of rolling doubles on any given roll. You will likely roll a pair of doubles one out of every six rolls. During the average circuit around the board, you will maybe roll doubles once.
2Learn the least and most landed-upon properties. Mediterranean Avenue and Baltic Avenue are the least-landed-upon properties, while the orange properties (St. James Place, NY Avenue, and Tennessee Ave.) are the most, due to their proximity to Jail, making them the most lucrative monopoly in the game. Acquiring the orange monopoly gives you a very high probability of winning.[1]
- The single square most landed-upon in the game is Jail, while the single property most landed-upon is Illinois Ave, followed by the B&O Railroad. A hotel on Illinois gives you the most income for a single space, after a hotel on Boardwalk.
3Know the possibilities of cards you'll likely draw. Keep track of the cards played during the game so you can anticipate what might come, should you land on a Chance or Community Chest space. Spend some time with the cards before you play to learn what sorts of outcomes might be thrust upon you. Each standard monopoly set includes:
- Sixteen Chance cards. The odds are high that a chance card will move you to another place, since ten out of sixteen chance cards require you to do so. Additionally, there are two rewards cards which give you money, two penalty cards which take money away, a card that takes away money from building owners and one get out of jail free card.
- Sixteen Community Chest cards. The majority of the Community Chest cards, nine out of sixteen, give you money. Three Community Chest cards take money away. Of the remaining cards, two move you elsewhere on the board, one takes away money from building owners and one is a get out of jail free card.
4Play by the standard rules. While some players like to play a kind of custom version of Monopoly, changing certain rules, any alteration gives you less control over the outcome of the game, and can actually serve to unnecessarily prolong it. Don't make "Free Parking" a bonus square, and don't make immunity part of any trade. Play the traditional Parker Brothers rules for the game to give yourself the best possibility of winning.Ad
Part 2 of 5: Buying Properties and Building Strategically
1Buy as much property as you can as soon as possible. The more property you have, the more rent you collect, and the more rent you collect, the more money you get from your opponents. Buying multiple properties of the same color increases and acquiring monopolies gives you the best chance of winning the game.
- Don't wait until you've got more money, or until you've landed on Boardwalk or other prestigious properties to start spending money. Start buying whatever open property you land on as soon as possible. The more you own, the better your standing in the game. There's little incentive in Monopoly to play conservatively and wait.[2]
- You'll start making money after you have property, not before. Don't worry about draining your coffers in the early turns. That just means you're playing smart.
2Always complete monopolies. Don't leave a bunch of open spaces in a color group for others to buy. Buy them yourself. In general, you should always buy unowned properties if no other player owns property in that color group, especially if it gives you a second or third property in a given group, building you closer to a monopoly. The orange properties, in particular, are the most landed-upon, making them the most desirable monopoly.[3]
- A monopoly occurs when you own all the properties of one color. The holder of a monopoly is entitled to double the rental rate normally paid. The monopoly holder is also entitled to add houses/hotels (which substantially increases rental rates). Holding a monopoly also greatly enhances your bargaining power during property trades made at later times in the game.
3Buy properties other players want. It can also be advantageous to purchase properties to block other players from creating monopolies, opening you up for trade possibilities later in the game. If you see an opponent building toward a particular monopoly, take the opportunity to mess them up. It's better to strike a deal first if you're going to have to end up paying them rent somewhere down the road.
- It can be a smart strategic move to mess up your opponents, or it can be a distraction. Don't worry about blocking a monopoly when two players each own a property of a group. They're already blocking each other, meaning you'd be better off placing your attention elsewhere.
4Develop a strategy in regard to railroads and utilities. In general, the railroad spaces are more valuable than the utility spaces, which offer little in the way of long-term investment. Railroads, though, are only valuable if you own all of them. Some players make acquiring all the Railroads a priority, while some prefer ignoring it as a distraction. Whatever you choose to do, stick with your policy.
- There's only a 1 in 38 chance of profiting from a Utilities purchase, meaning the money would probably be better spent investing later in hotels and other building projects, which stand to make you more money.[4]
- Given the game, it might be right to purchase a Railroad, given the opportunity, to keep another player from profiting from a dangerous railroad monopoly. B&O is one of the most-commonly landed-upon squares on the board, making it a smart investment. Plus, given some players allegiance to getting all the Railroads, it can make excellent bait for a trade.
5Get to three houses as quickly as possible. As soon as you get a monopoly, start building, and don't stop building until you've got three houses. The biggest leap in income occurs when you get to three houses, and the jump is so significant that you're leaving money on the table to only build a house or two.
- It is best to build when you have enough cash for a "high probability" expense such as rents on railroads and utilities, luxury tax and certain Community Chest cards. If possible, wait until you pass the part of the board where there is the highest likelihood of paying the highest penalties, the last few squares of the game before Go.
- The difference in earnings between a blank property and the first house is the biggest, though the difference decreases until the fourth house. Because your expected profit increases much slower than developing costs, often many half-developed properties are much smarter than a few stacked properties. Unless you are absolutely loaded, build only one or three houses on each lot.
6Build to cause a housing shortage. When you have only three or four low-rent color groups, you should put three or four houses on each property to restrict the availability of houses to owners of high rent color groups. Don't move up to a hotel if returning houses to the bank would enable your opponent to develop an expensive color group. It's devious, and effective.Ad
Part 3 of 5: Playing to Win
1Get the most out of your mortgages. Mortgaging allows you to raise capital at crucial points in the game. However, keep in mind that it will cost more to unmortgage the properties than the total amount raised from mortgaging it in the first place. Keep in mind the following when mortgaging your property:
- Single properties should be mortgaged first. Don't mortgage a property from a group where you own 2 or more properties unless it's absolutely necessary.
- If you need to raise money, mortgage single properties if it allows you to own a color group of at least three houses per property (or hotels in the Light Blues or Purple group).
- As you cannot collect rent once a property is mortgaged, try not to mortgage those properties that players land on frequently or get higher-than-average rents from landers.
2Evaluate trades carefully. Know your fellow players' preferences, if any, for particular properties and use that knowledge to your advantage. Trying to trade for a full line of colored properties is good, as it allows for building expansions. However, you want to avoid trading down for these color sets. For example, while gaining all of the pink properties in a trade may be good, it may not be wise if the trade enables another player to own all of the orange properties. You will likely pay more in rent to the owner of the orange properties.
- Recognize before you make a deal whether it will be advantageous to you in the future. Always ask yourself, what will this do for me in the long run, and how will this trade help me bankrupt my opponents?
- A good rule of thumb is to only trade to give yourself a monopoly, or to give yourself more monopoly than your opponent. This is one of the reasons that stealing a railroad in the early-going can be a good idea.
3Keep track of the other players' cash levels. Make sure you know at all times how much an opponent can bid in an auction, how much rent your opponents can afford to pay and/or how many buildings s/he can purchase without needing to mortgage. Before houses appear, your average opponent will make $170 going around the board.
- Count the number of unmortgaged properties owned by your opponents and divide that number by seven. This will provide you with an estimate of how many times you'll have to pay rent the next time you go around the board, and vice versa.
4Consider staying in jail later in the game. In Monopoly, unlike in real life, being in jail is not necessarily a bad thing. Early in the game, before you've assembled a monopoly anywhere, you should pay $50 to get out of jail so you can continue purchasing unowned and undeveloped properties. However, later in the game, if most of the properties are owned or if most of the properties between the Jail and Go to Jail spaces are developed, simply roll the dice and hope to stay in jail. This can be a welcome alternative to paying rent.
5Finish off struggling players. Monopoly has a reputation for often dragging out into games that last several hours or several days, but it doesn't necessarily need to be so. As soon as most of the property has been bought up, it's a good idea to start the bargaining process, and attempt to convince players in less advantageous positions to forfeit their properties and concede the game. Put those properties back into play and open the game back up to the players in better position to win.
- If players who are blocking monopolies by owning single properties that are desired by other parties are unwilling to trade those properties, maybe consider calling it a game and playing a new game. You could spend days trading money back and forth, without being able to make very many new decisions. If you get to a point where you're just rolling around the board, trading money, the game can get pretty boring. Call it a day.
Part 4 of 5: Playing Dirty
1Be the banker and pocket your opponents' money. If you've just got to get the win at all costs, make sure you end up in charge of the money when the game starts. In Monopoly, as in life, the person in control of the money stands a better chance of coming out ahead.
- When an opponent makes a purchase, put some of the money in the till and some of the money in your own pile. To keep them guess, keep the bank's money close to your own pile so other players won't be able to tell them apart at a glance.
- Make change for yourself occasionally, turning in some 20s for a hundred, and take extra 100 while you're at it. Other players are less likely to watch closely when it doesn't have to do with their own money.
- Sneak extras after passing go. Everyone gets a pay day after passing go. Why not take $500 instead of $200? Do it quickly and don't make a fuss.
2Keep your money in disarray. To throw people off the scent of your not-quite-right pile of money, it's best to keep it in a big clumpy pile, like leaves, not neat orderly stacks like money at the bank. If you've got yours encroaching on your bank money, all the better. If a couple bills happen to slip in, who's gonna notice?
- It's best to avoid messing with other peoples' money as much as possible. If you intercept it before going into the bank, that's one thing, but try not to short-change other players, or otherwise mess with their payouts. That's likely to cause you problems.
3Take extra spaces when you move around the board. As the game progresses, people will start paying less and less attention to other peoples' pieces and moving around the board. This lack of attention offers you lots of opportunities to change your position on the board, to give you a better advantage.
- When you've rolled, start counting out loud how many spaces you're moving, tapping loudly on the board each time you do it, until you get to the number you rolled (e.g. "One, two, three, four…"). Instead of moving your piece that many spaces, however, end up one too long or one too short, whichever space gives you a better advantage. If someone catches you, claim you miscounted.
- When everyone's got their face buried in their cards, move your piece a few spaces forward or back, depending on which might give you a better chance of getting where you want. Keeping track of purchases, strategy, money, and your own piece is enough to keep track of. No one will notice if you're one space ahead of where you should be when your turn comes around.
4Wait until deep into the game to start cheating. Your opponents' attention will be strong and close in the first few rounds of the game, but will probably start to get distracted by their own cards and money later in the game. There's a lot to think about in a game of Monopoly, and catching cheaters requires a lot of extra attention. To give yourself the best chance of getting away with it, wait until later in the game, at least until you've circled the board 5 times or so.
5Gang up on strong players. Does your dad always win? Before the game, form an alliance with the other players and commit to, first and foremost, mess up his operations. Form a united front to block his monopolies and otherwise screw him over as a group. It's not cheating, it's business.
6Keep a close eye out for other cheaters. You don't have to cheat to eliminate other players from the game very quickly and give yourself an advantage. If you're playing by very strict rules, jump on other players for minor mistakes, like skipping spaces or doing minor things wrong and penalize them harshly, according to the rules. If you catch other players cheating egregiously, stealing extra money or doing something else malicious, expel them from the game. You'll be that much closer to winning.Ad
Part 5 of 5: Skipping Payment of Rent Where Possible
1Note that this ruse is stated in the rules. You can back your claim that it is legal by referring to the instructions.
2Aim to avoid rent payment where this is possible. Although it may seem like cheating, this is a perfectly legal strategy. Basically any time you land on a property and have to pay rent, the owner of the property must prompt you to pay the rent. If they are distracted, or busy with something else, and do not request rent, there is no obligation to pay it. As soon as the next player rolls the dice, the window for collecting rent is over.
- This can come in handy late game when players are not necessarily focused in on the board and may not notice that you have landed on their space. You can either come to a silent agreement with the person who is next to roll the dice, or just try to slip by unnoticed.
3Be aware that there are some interesting dynamics likely to ensue from using this mechanism:
- If one person is caught doing this (after it is confirmed that it is legal to do), there is a higher chance that another player will try to do it.
- Letting the player that comes before you in the turn order do this is a pretty bad play, as you do not benefit from it, but if you call a person out who is trying to slip by, there is less chance that people will let you get away with it.
- It is better to wait or lollygag until the person who should collect rent is paying attention again than to outright refuse to let someone go for free and tell them to pay their rent. That way, you are the only person that is in control of this ruse.
We could really use your help!
- Remember to conserve and spend your money wisely. One wrong decision players make is trying to earn the most money. Remember: The object of the game is to make all other players go bankrupt, not to be the wealthiest player.
- Purchase or trade Illinois Avenue any chance you have! The four most landed on spots on the US Monopoly board are Illinois Avenue, Go, B.&O. Railroad, and Jail.
- The more players, the more politics. When one player is near bankruptcy, he/she may effectively give away all his/her property and money to another player (often in the form of overly generous trades); so, making friends along the way can pay off as they go broke. If you are playing in a sanctioned tournament, this tactic will probably not be allowed.
- The only way to transfer money between players is using the Get Out of Jail Free Card. Use it as an intermediary if someone lands on a property that you want and you wish to transfer cash for them to buy it. Also use it to give an opponent a "temporary reprieve" if they land on another player's hotel and are about to go bankrupt. Buy their GOOJF Card with (almost) enough cash for them to settle, so that their next turn they land on your hotel to go bankrupt. This makes for a nice "throw in" with trades.
- Later in the game, once you have many properties and have houses on them, and you get into jail.Stay in there! Going to jail keeps you safe from being bankrupt. Your opponent pays, you don't pay anything.

If it was not for the city's stance on tradition (and prohibitively heavy taxes on the buying or selling of property outside one's family) these homes would of been abandoned or been a slum.

Tannhauser is a working class neighboorhood. No nobles will be found perusing it's small market square, or the few shops there. The wealthy and powerful have holdings and investments in Tannhauser, but few would be willing to be seen on those dank streets.
The Shield District is the old Orcen Mercenary Quarter. It is called the Shield District because Orcen always carried their shields. In terms of buildings, it looks the same as the rest of the town, perhaps a bit more run down. The signs are both in Orcen and the Local tongue. The only differences are The Pits.
While travelling through an unfamiliar area of the city at night, it it easy for one to become quite lost. Though this is an upper-class residential neighbourhood just east of downtown, the streets wind, twist, and turn in upon themselves in a rather chaotic fashion.
The wealthy landowners of Ardales began to grow personal gardens on their flat rooftops. The shade helped cool the buildings. The competition renewed among the aristocracy for the lushest garden.

If you travel North from city's main gate, you will have traveled some of the great and grandest elements of Antioch. Then you will enter the most common and humble. The NorthWard is classic Antioch. It serves as the "average" that all other quarters are measured by.
It was supposed to be the district of hearth and home: the domestic soul in a city of industry and trade. It has been the quiet ward for most of the city's recent history. It is still the "soul" of the city, but now that soul is changing.
Originally planned to be a green area, where an Elventi community would thrive, this area has become the ward where the rich and powerful live. It is neat, orderly, and practically invitation only.
Every city needs a place for building things. These places often have pompous names that nobody ever uses, except those in the City Offices. The Maker's Ward is just such a place.
There are always places between other places. The Alley District is sandwiched between the Temple Ward and the Docks Ward. Of all the wards, this one has the most ways in and out, thus is one of the most heavily traveled areas in all of Antioch.
The ArchStreet, leading from the main gate, spills out into the DiPlaza - The center of Antioch. Each of the five other districts of Antioch have a gateway at the plaza. Each of the triangular districts has one corner nipped off, creating the hexagonal shape of the central DiPlaza. A fitting plaza for a (nearly) hexagonal shaped city.
These well crafted Dwarventi stairs lead down into one of the three main passages of Undertown. The underfolk have cleverly made it look like a short surface streets. Some of the branching passages look like streets as well, but it is all just a facade, soon they become more mine or hall like. The streets are "lit" (dimly by any topsider's opinion) by mage lights and a few ancient amber Dwarventi Lights.
The idea of using tattoos to contain magic powers is not a new one. The Ink gauntlet follows the basic premise of using rare and precious inks to inscribe spells into the skin of a mage or would be spell-imbued person.

The Olive Flounder (ヒラメ, Hirami?) is an uncommon fish that can be found in the ocean. It appears all day at any time during the year. It is a member of the flatfish group. This fish is a lighter brown than the dab and faces the opposite direction. Flatfish as a whole are very similar, referenced by the Player's comment in Wild World and New Leaf when the fish is originally mistaken for a Dab.
Donating to the Museum
As with all bugs and fish in Animal Crossing series, the Olive Flounder can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers. During a donation, Blathers will tell the player a bit about the donation. Below is what he has to say;
In Wild World
Blathers has this to say about the olive flounder in Animal Crossing: Wild World;
"For some time, I was convinced that olive flounder tasted of olives. It turned out that it was a rather elaborate joke played upon me... I should have known there are no such things as flounder olives, either!"
In City Folk
Upon donating the olive flounder in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Blathers will say:
"Olive flounders are masters of self-transformation... who, I'm told, can grow to almost 40 inches long. That's like some sort of underwater bath mat! It's a good thing you caught this one while it's still young!"
It can be found in the tank at the back of the aquarium, hiding underneath sand, with other ocean fish.
In New Leaf
In New Leaf an information board in the aquarium will list information about this fish.
"Olive flounders are rather flexible whitefish that have both eyes on the left side of their body. They can reach three feet in length and are commonly mistaken for dabs, a close relative. When young, they have an eye on each side, but as they age, their right eye migrates to their left side. These carnivorous fish can change color to camouflage themselves on the seabed as they wait for prey."
Encyclopedia Information
Animal Forest e+
| "Olive Flounder"
Wild World
| ''Their eyes are in the middle when they are born, then move to either side as they mature."
City Folk
| ''These look like dabs, but the eyes migrate after birth to the left side."

Further InformationThe Olive Flounder (also called the Bastard Halibut) is an Asian flatfish that occupies a large area of Asian flatfish taken for commercial reasons. Hirame (平目 / ヒラメ) as it is called in Japan or (광어 Korea Flatfish) as it is known is Korea is widely raised in aquaculture in China, Korea and Japan as a food fish. It is a very large type of flatfish that can be well over a meter in length which is far larger than most other species that typically never reach more than 30 cm.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – The Minnesota Wild have re-signed defenseman Marco Scandella to a two-year contract.
The team announced the deal on Monday.
Scandella was eligible to be a restricted free agent, but the Wild locked the 23-year-old before he could hit the market. Scandella missed training camp in January because of a groin injury and spent most of this season with the Houston Aeros in the AHL, recording 17 points in 45 games.
The second-round pick in the 2008 draft played in six regular season games for the Wild. Added to the active roster again right before the playoffs, Scandella had a goal and an assist in five games against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound native of Montreal has four goals and 11 assists in 89 career NHL games.

A Juneau utility says a hydro project will be off line for two days this month but no service disruptions are expected.
Debbie Ferreira, with Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, says diesel generators will be used to supplement power production.
The project is going off-line to allow helicopter clearance for materials for a new avalanche diversion structure. The structure, intended to direct the force of an avalanche from the tower base, will be similar to one installed in 2009 that was credited with preventing tower damage from an avalanche earlier this year.
The company included the estimated cost of diesel in the cost of power adjustment on customers' bills. It says any savings or additional costs related to the diesel usage will be factored into the next quarter's adjustment.

New N.C. State coach Dave Doeren got a fast start from his no-huddle offense as well as a big game from a rookie runner in a season-opening win on Saturday.
Everything didn't quite go to plan, though — he also lost his starting quarterback for several weeks with a foot injury.
Freshman Matt Dayes ran for 84 yards and three touchdowns to help N.C. State beat Louisiana Tech 40-14 on Saturday, but quarterback Brandon Mitchell suffered a broken bone in his left foot during the opening quarter.
Mitchell, who beat out Pete Thomas for the job during training camp, directed N.C. State to touchdowns on its first two possessions before leaving after his third series. He returned to the sideline late in the half on crutches and wearing a protective boot. Doeren said Mitchell could miss 4-6 weeks and will have surgery Sunday.
The injury put a damper on an otherwise successful afternoon for Doeren, whose team avoided major mistakes and racked up 542 total yards against the mistake-prone Bulldogs in their first game under new coach Skip Holtz.
"We'll be good with Pete in there too," Doeren said. "We're excited about the different things we can do. I know in the first game (Louisiana Tech) didn't have a real good idea of all the stuff we could run on offense. It was definitely advantage us that way and we'll continue to evolve now that we've gotten some guys out there and seeing what they do under the big lights and on stage."
Thomas threw for 212 yards on 15-for-27 passing after Mitchell's injury, while Dayes showed why Doeren has been high on the rookie from Weston, Fla., during the preseason. Dayes — seeing a bigger role with the one-game suspension to leading rusher Shadrach Thornton — capped his day with an 18-yard TD run midway through the fourth quarter that made it 37-14.
"It feels good (hearing) him talking me up like that but I work extremely hard," Dayes said. "I think I got what I deserve."
Tony Creecy also scored for the Wolfpack, who scored the first 24 points and led comfortably all afternoon.
Doeren, who spent two seasons at Northern Illinois before replacing fired coach Tom O'Brien, has pushed his team to do everything at a faster tempo, with the no-huddle offense stirring the most fan excitement. That buzz grew with the fast start under Mitchell, an Arkansas graduate transfer revealed as the starter shortly before kickoff.
The Wolfpack marched 65 yards on the opening drive, ending with Creecy's 3-yard TD run. On the next drive, Mitchell found Rashard Smith for a 56-yard catch-and-run that set up Dayes' 2-yard score that made it 14-0 less than 6 minutes in.
But Mitchell was stopped on a third-and-1 keeper to end the third series in his final play. He completed all three of his passes for 93 yards and ran five times for 19 yards.
Holtz's Bulldogs — who averaged 51 points and 578 yards under current California coach Sonny Dykes last year — moved the football with plenty of no-huddle looks, too. They finished with 321 total yards, but they committed momentum-crushing mistakes that kept the Wolfpack firmly in control.
The biggest came when Kenneth Dixon — who ran for 1,194 yards and an NCAA-freshman record 27 touchdowns last year — fumbled as he tried to cross the goal line late in the first with the Wolfpack already up two scores.
Two possessions later, Tevin King lost a fumble as the Bulldogs pushed into the red zone, while defensive end IK Enemkpali fumbled away an interception near the goal line to set up Dayes' second score.
"We just made some critical mistakes today," Holtz said. "... They're also a new staff, and they did a much better job of protecting the ball, not turning the ball over and giving their team an opportunity to win. I think if we could have held onto the ball a little bit better, we could have made it a much better game in the first half."
Dixon ran for 118 yards and a touchdown for the Bulldogs, while first-time starting quarterback Scotty Young threw for 178 yards on 15-for-27 passing.

He tried to spell out "PROM?" in his cum on my stomach during sex. It was terrible
well did you say yes?
You must be Logged in to post a comment
Was this after the cum was on your stomach? Because that's lazy. However, if he tried shooting it into those words, that's very tough and you should be happy he went to such great lengths.
"and on the next episode of 16 and pregnant"...
Doesn't matter, had sex.
I can't believe that this is what people call the civilized world.
but he misfired and spelled out PRON!
If he tried spelling that shit on the initial pop and you could make it out text him yes like now Lolz
Yeah, came out Porn instead...
That is a great idea
You cannot take your son to prom!

Letters to the Editor, CHH
Solar makes sense
Michelle Gardner's letter (Jan. 26) discussed solar energy investment on the grounds of sustainability. Some simple math shows that investment in solar energy need not be solely about the environment.
Last May, Dave Strenski gave a TED talk discussing solar energy in Michigan. During his talk, he discussed the huge opportunities of solar investment. I've applied his formula to North Carolina.
According to the Advanced Energy Group, North Carolina averages five hours of sunlight a day each year. In terms of power needed, the average North Carolina household uses 20,000 watt hours a day.
So, to end up at a net zero power level, you need to generate roughly 4,000 WH/day.
The average solar panel has a capacity of 250 watts, so you'd need 16 panels. Installation costs are roughly $4 a watt. Multiply that by 4,000 watts and you have a total installation cost of $16,000. Ouch.
Luckily, the federal government offers a 30 percent tax credit for solar energy. When you file your taxes, you can get up to $4,800 back. North Carolina offers an additional 35 percent tax credit, returning $5,600 for a total tax credit of $10,400.
After these credits, the overall cost for solar energy could be as low as $5,600. Will it pay off?
Well, the average household electricity bill is $1,152 a year. That means your investment could be returned in as little as five years. Given that solar panels last 30 years, that means you're getting 25 years of clean, free energy!

There are several types of urinary incontinence; all are characterized by the involuntary passage of urine. Urinary incontinence is not a disease but rather a symptom. Incontinence occurs more among women, and the incidence increases with age, although urinary incontinence is not a given with aging. An estimated 10 million people are incontinent; billions are spent annually in the management of urinary incontinence. Micturition (urination), is a complex physiologic function that relies on proper function of the bladder muscles and sphincters responding to spinal nerve impulses (S2, S3, and S4). Urinary incontinence occurs whenever the bladder, sphincter, or the nerves involved in micturition are diseased or damaged. Relaxed pelvic musculature following childbirth, postmenopausal urethral atrophy, central nervous system (CNS) diseases (such as Parkinson's and cerebrovascular accident [CVA]), spinal cord lesions or injury, and postoperative injuries can result in urinary incontinence. Careful diagnosis, including urodynamic studies, should precede treatment decisions, although empiric management is common. Urinary incontinence can lead to altered skin integrity, as well as severe psychological disturbances. Incontinent individuals often withdraw from social contact, and urinary incontinence is a major determinant in the institutionalization of the elderly. This care plan addresses five types of urinary incontinence: stress, urge, reflex, functional, and total. Education and continuity of care are addressed for each specific type, as well as for the problem of urinary incontinence as an entity.
Patient is continent of urine or verbalizes satisfactory management.

We were there last night for a birthday party. Very fun place and excellent deal with free live jazz. Drinks great and food good. Way better than normal bar food. Service is friendly and nice. I keep going back!
Posted by sassafrass on 05/01/2011
So. All my girlfriends and I wanted after a long, dumb weekend was a nice brunch outside. We somehow found ourselves at "rue b". We looked at the restaurant next door which looked like it had better food, and better atmosphere and for some reason still chose to go eat inside of "rue b" because there was room in the "back garden". Let me paint a picture of this " back garden" for you...it was reminiscent of an outdoor prison cell in rural mexico. There were 2 rogue tables, both empty of course, and an old dirty dentists chair with a year old cigarette butt on it. the kitchen was in clear view but the wait staff was very slow and negligent. my other friend had an unfortunate experience with the ketchup bottle they gave us which threw us all over the edge. we definitely will not be back to rue b anytime soon.
Posted by anonymous on 11/21/2010
Brunch is not bad here and the bar snacks are okay but don't come to Rue B looking for East Village cool or Manhattan sophistication. The crowd is strictly bridge & tunnel (New Jersey, Long Island, Ohio even) and is heavy on that living-in-Mommy's-basement vibe. If there are 200 bars in the East Village, at least 195 of them are more fun than this sorry old joint.
Posted by Shawn Chittle on 11/17/2010
Unpretentious upscale 1940's hotel bar, with beautiful vintage black & white photography adorned everywhere. Instead of $25 for a classy martini-glass cocktail, they're only $10 here. Although I prefer the basic Stella myself. Food is fantastic. The bacon pizza is a favorite, as is the Jiffy Pop, but it's off the menu so ask for it by name. The live jazz every night at 9PM is just what I need after long days. This place is just a jewel.
Posted by Pete & R on 11/07/2010
Having lived in the neighborhood for 15 years and probably walking by a thousand times, we finally went in and had brunch. It is without a doubt the best brunch on the lower east side. The value was unbelievable, I would have paid triple the price for what we had. The omlets were excellent and potatoes seasoned and cooked just right. The side of bacon was larger than expected for the money. The ambiance is excellent with an old time barber's chair and nostolgic pictures on the wall. Run don't walt to this lower east side jem.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/24/2009
I stumbled upon this place while walking around my neighborhood. I am a huge fan of pre-fix brunches and the special here was great! Drink, coffee/tea, and various French-style entrees to choose from. I got something with asparagus and eggs and it was delicious. The atmosphere was really welcoming and our server was extremely attentive. I just couldn't understand why there weren't more people there!
Posted by Olive Twist on 07/14/2009
What I remembered as a cute small jazz bar with okay small plates was on my last visit a typical college town dump with commercial "classic rock" radio at happy hour (The Doors, Eagles...), slow service, and a cheese and charcuterie plate that could have been bought at the Boar's Head counter. The drinks were good, that's about it. Oh, and the comments here about the crowd are spot-on. The usual collegiate kids who seem to be everywhere.

Grammy winner Luciana Souza is one of Jazz's leading singers and interpreters. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, in the late sixties, she grew up in a family of Bossa Nova innovators - her father, a singer and songwriter, her mother, a poet and lyricist. Luciana's work as a performer transcends traditional boundaries around musical styles, offering solid roots in jazz, sophisticated lineage in world music, and an enlightened approach to classical repertoire and new music.
In 1985, Romero Lubambo came to the United States, and brought with him a new sound in Brazilian jazz guitar.Romero's guitar playing unites the styles and rhythms of his native Brazilian musical heritage with his fluency in the American jazz tradition to form a distinctive new sound.
From the cool, sophisticated rhythms of his native Brazil to hard bop, Romero is a guitarist who's comfortable in any musical setting. He is an uncommonly gifted soloist and musical improviser with a steady stream of unpredictably creative musical thoughts and the virtuosity to deliver them ever so tastefully.

This column discusses the seminal issues which led to the election of Sebastian Pinera in Chile.
Sebastian Pinera is celebrating. After months of campaigning, and participating in a grueling run-off election, the Chilean billionaire has been elected to the highest office of his land.
For the first time in fifty years, the Chilean ruling party has become conservative. Left wing parties have won Chilean elections since the end of the rule of American backed dictator, General Augusto Pinochet [1].
The campaign was vicious, with Mr. Pinera's opponents comparing him to Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi, as well as dramatically stating that the billionaire would bring about the type of destruction to civil liberties as did the authoritarian regime of Augusto Pinochet [2].
Until late last year, the election looked to be a contest between the center left Frei and the center right Pinera. That is, until the advent of a charismatic new candidate by the name of Marco Enriquez-Ominami (hereafter referred to as MEO). Unlike his two opponents, MEO was not a seasoned veteran of the rough and tough Chilean politics. A filmmaker by trade, and the son of a revolutionary leader, he bought in new energy to the election. He bought up issues rarely "discussed" in a nation which is among "the most conservative and Catholic in Latin America." These included gay marriage and abortion [3].
Without a party backing him, he had little chance of capturing the Presidency. However, as Matthew Shugart, a Professor at the University of California, points out on his blog, MEO's major contribution was to split the center left party vote. This left the field wide open for Mr. Pinera to capture the office [4].
Unfortunately for Pinera, he failed to capitalize on the opportunity and capture the absolute majority needed to prevent a runoff election. Thus in the second round of the election, the contest returned back to a struggle between Pinera and Frei. Some hypothesized, however, that MEO's supporters might be too disgruntled at having lost the election, and refuse to vote for Frei. MEO only endorsed Frei a week before the election, while refusing to call him by his name, instead simply supporting the party.
Frei dutifully reminded the Chilean people of the Pinochet regime, and raised concerns that Pinera would regress humanitarian progresses. Pinera angrily denied such charges and attempted to distance himself from Pinochet. He focused his campaign on change, pointing out that left wing parties had control of the government for nearly two decades [5].
At the end, the seminal issues influencing the voting pattern were the economy and law and order. Pinera, answered the call of the people by proposing tougher laws and claiming that he would revitalize the economy. As a billionaire who owns a television station, stakes in the flagship Chile airline, as well as playing a major role in popularizing credit cards in his nation, his claims of being an individual who understands businesses and the economy are taken seriously. Pinera also promised to create a million new jobs, and assured an average economic growth of 6% for the next four years. In addition, he proposed to hire 10,000 new police officers to prevent rising crime rates in the nation [6] [7].
At the end of the day, although Frei and Pinera agreed on most economic and social issues, Pinera simply came off as a more credible man for the job of energizing the economy. After twenty years of rule by the Concert of Parties for Democracy, Chileans decided to put their hope for the next four years, on the man that they hope will be their Golden Boy, Sebastian Pinera.

Jury duty. That invitation to what some call a civic duty and others disdain as an inconvenience. Response to jury summons is on the decline across the state as well as locally. District 8 Judge Eddie Northcut is taking action to encourage a better result. Northcut says jury duty is more than a civic duty, it is a legal obligation. He intends to conduct show cause hearings for those 40 or so who missed a recent jury call. Fines for failing to appear could begin at $250, according to Judge Northcut.

Phishing is an estimated $3 billion a year industry and the costs incurred by companies who fall victim to such attacks are rising steadily. So says a report by security monitoring firm Cyveillance. Among those costs are fraudulent charges on credit cards, customer support calls, cash withdrawals from hacked accounts, and employee time spent dealing with all the above. Other costs that are more difficult to place a cash value on include damages to corporate reputations and branding and loss of customers.
"Phishing attacks can cost organizations anywhere from thousands to millions of dollars per attack in fraud-related losses," the researchers contend in their report. "Although some of the costs can be measured easily, others are far more difficult to quantify; hard costs associated with phishing can be measured directly in terms of dollars, time and effort; soft costs are the intangible costs that are much more difficult to measure, [but] these costs can have a long-term impact on an organization's brand."
The report estimates that for every 500,000 phishing emails sent, 2,500 recipients will fall for it resulting in a net cost to the affected company of $1800 per incident plus an additional $400 per person in related clean up work. They offer these tips to help minimize losses and speed recovery from a phishing attack :
- Identify the appropriate stakeholders and clearly communicate their responsibilities for responding to attacks
- Make plans compatible with existing business processes and procedures
- Create effective internal and external communications processes
- Create a solid phishing response escalation path
- Minimize or avoid negative customer experiences
- Reduce financial losses associated with subsequent online fraud
- Proactively protect your corporate reputation

The South China Sea in Focus
The South China Sea in Focus
Clarifying the Limits of Maritime DisputeJul 17, 2013
Satellite imagery and geospatial analysis tools offer an unprecedented opportunity to harness new technologies in order to help resolve boundary disputes. The South China Sea in Focus: Clarifying the Limits of Maritime Dispute uses these tools to provide a first and necessary step toward tackling the overlapping maritime disputes in the South China Sea: determining which waters are and are not in dispute under international law. The report opens with a set of geographic information system (GIS)–based maps that provide an easily understandable benchmark against which policymakers and academics can judge the claims and actions of the South China Sea claimants. More detailed color maps and methodological information follow for those who want to dig deeper into the claims and the report's conclusions.Publisher CSIS/Rowman & LittlefieldISBN 978-1-4422-2485-8 (pb); 978-1-4422-2486-5 (eBook)Regions

Sheer hypocrisy. Alcohol-LEGAL yet kills hundreds of thousands of people a year in alcohol related diseases and accidents.

Back to work
Saturday was for driving. Sunday was for flying. Monday was for baseball.
The Rutherfordton-Chase 50/70 All-Stars — now simply, Southeast —completed the 2,600-mile journey to Livemore, Calif. Sunday night after two days of driving and flying. Upon arrival the players were sized and given their new uniforms for the week, gold and maroon jerseys with "Southeast" across the chest. Players also received hats, pullovers, undershirts and practice jerseys … all of which they get to keep.
But after a solid night's sleep and a hearty breakfast, it was back to the diamond for the boys from Rutherford County.
"After traveling all day and dealing with uniforms and media it was a stressful day," head coach Curtis Snethen said of a hectic Sunday. "Today (Monday) was actually the first day to get the kids out and let them have some fun, which for them is playing baseball."
The team, decked out in bright white pants, long sleeve maroon shirts under bright gold practice jerseys and fresh new caps, loaded a shuttle and shipped over to Max Baer Park for a 90-minute practice session that began at 10 a.m.
Thirty minutes of infield and outfield practice preceded an hour-long batting practice at the facility's batting cages.
Not a cloud was in the California sky as each player had a chance to take their hacks and reacquaint themselves with the feel and ping of the bat.
"For these guys it's not difficult to get back into playing mode," Snethen said. "They know what I expect but they're still 13. If I can get them focused to where they need to be they tend to fall in line."
At times Snethen barked at few of his players who may have had too much of a "vacation" mentality.
"I was surprised how relaxed they were," Snethen said. "They're much more relaxed than they were at Regionals, but anytime a coach tells them that they need to focus more means that they're maybe a little too relaxed."
The boys quickly snapped back into game mode, something Snethen expects them to keep come game time.
"We'll be ready come game day," Snethen said. "They needed the mental break just as kids but our guys are prepared to play the game."
Then, before you knew it, the Canadian team strolled over for their turn in the cages. The short practice session was over. After a quick lunch the team loaded the shuttle, returned to the hotel and prepared for the downtown parade and medal ceremonies.
"I really think that the parade's a time to have a good time and unwind. The business side of all this will all be behind us," Snethen said.
Today marks the start of competition as four U.S. teams face off. Luckily, the Southeast team isn't one of them. They'll match up with the winner of today's Southwest vs. East game Wednesday at 3 p.m. PST.
"We have a huge advantage with a first-round bye," Snethen said. "All the other teams had to travel like we did but they have to play [today] when we get that extra day's rest. I think mentally that will be a big break for us."
Today the team plans to hold a short practice before scouting their potential opponents in the afternoon game.
However, come Wednesday, small-town Rutherfordton boys won't be playing one of the best teams in the state. They won't be playing one of the best in their region. They'll be playing one of the best teams in the country and the world.
"Any of these teams can win from what I've seen. It comes down to who wants it more," Snethen said. "These guys (Rutherfordton-Chase) understand the magnitude of this. These guys are special. I know the game and these guys can play."
But no matter whom they play or where the play them, the bases are still 70 feet apart and the mound is still 50 feet from home plate.
"The game of baseball doesn't change. It's just a matter of how you're prepared," Snethen said. "Everyone here is going to be pretty good, but the game is no different."

Ever get restless or anxious, thinking something big is happening and you are being left behind…out of the loop?
The time to take advantage of the tax incentive is now. The extension and an additional extension for current homeowners clock is ticking. The deadline date to be in a signed agreed purchase contract is April 30th… Closed by June 30th.
As consumers, we have become very good at negotiating contracts of all sorts. We ask the credit card companies for rate reductions and we navigate through the purchase of car contracts. The average guy or gal on the street may be kicking themselves later if they miss out on some big savings from the tax incentives. Unless lots of blog posts, newspaper and magazine articles surface, there are bits and pieces of the legislation they may not understand. Everyone has a different set of life dynamics and they may not know how the program applies to their best advantage. It's like a new car put on the track at NASCAR. She's hot, exciting looking, mean sounding on the surface, but there was not enough time to roll out the research and development team to shake out the bugs, smooth out the wrinkles to become the best car possible.
The FHA, VA, Conventional and CalSTRS programs get refined, field tested, put through their paces. It's no secret what they are all about. The inventory here in Santa Clarita and around California is continuing to grow they have relaxed the flipping rules for investors so homes that did not qualify for a FHA loan now do.

Wednesday, October 16, 2013
As I write, we are now over a week into this government shutdown and a quick resolution is not in sight.
Most of us would like to see one, but each day that passes brings us closer to the debt ceiling, yet another Washington issue that needs resolving. In deciding how we fix these two storms at the Capitol, I'd ask you consider two things.
First, we could pass a so called "clean" Continuing Resolution tomorrow, but without resolving the underlying budget issue we will find ourselves right back in the current impasse in a few weeks. Any of the Continuing Resolutions being offered by both Republicans and Democrats take us to just mid-November or mid-December, and to fix this larger financial logjam there has to be resolution of where the House, Senate and White House are on spending.
The same is true for a "clean" debt ceiling raise, which would raise the limit on our credit card, but would do nothing to address the $17 trillion we already owe, or the way government spending continues to grow. According to the Congressional Budget Office, in just 12 years there will only be enough money for interest and entitlement spending – and no other federal government spending - without borrowing, cutting or taxing significantly more. One can argue about the tactics and timing of this particular debate – the nexus here was Republicans' question on whether or not we can afford another $1 trillion dollar entitlement – but it underscores the degree to which we have to have this debate as a society. Twelve years away is coming fast.
In many ways we are here because there has been an absolute breakdown of the funding process in Washington. In stark contrast to when I left Congress 13 years ago, what was once an annual debate on 12 federal spending categories has devolved to funding government by so-called Continuing Resolution.
In bulk and without debate or amendment government winds up simply funded at last year's levels, and among other things this makes the government we do have less effective because the planning process becomes near impossible for agencies. By not evaluating what's working and what isn't each year, we simply roll funding forward with no regard to the actual end result. So in some form or another we need to get our arms around spending in Washington, and if not now, most folks ask me - then when? Do pressures to limit spending somehow get better in another month or two?
Second, while I'm hardly a defender of process in Washington, the way things have been done offer some insight into how they will be done in the Capital city. Over the last 35 years there have been 53 debt limit increases, and 17 government shutdowns.
Except in a handful of years where debt increases were automatic and therefore not debated, in every other instance they have been subject to negotiation. Whether there were Democratic or Republican presidents, Senates, or Houses – every time there was negotiation.
But the President in this instance is joined by Harry Reid in saying there can be no negotiation. Isn't that the American way? We have differences, and lots of them…but we sit down and have managed to iron them out for over 200 years. This change in perceived executive branch authority is particularly important given the Constitutional questions that are raised when the President decides unilaterally how his own law will be enforced and enacted. This is also an American first given that the founding fathers charged the executive branch with enactment of the whole law – never parts of it at their discretion.
As I talk with folks at home, whether in Moncks Corner or Goose Creek or elsewhere, I'm often told these issues of newly claimed Presidential authority and Washington spending are worth confronting now.

Full detailed profile on Rebecca Hotchkiss Played by Andrea Evans on Passions Daytime Soap Opera.
Andrea Evans
Birthday: June 18, 1957
In Jonathan's hospital room, Gwen has a nightmare that Jonathan died because he didn't get the liver transplant. When she wakes up, Gwen panics and rushes over to Jonathan saying he'll die if she doesn't do something. Rebecca comes in and Gwen says her son is gonna die if they don't find a viable donor. Rebecca says that the doctor told her that a while ago, but Gwen is just now realizing the gravity of the situation. Gwen freaks out and tells Rebecca that she needs to tell Ethan about Little E so he can save her son's life. Rebecca tries to prevent Gwen from leaving the room, asking if Gwen is willing to risk losing Ethan to Theresa. Gwen says that she's wasted too much time on Theresa already and that she isn't a factor anymore – she just needs to save her son. Gwen demands her mother get out of her way so she can tell Ethan before it's too late. The women struggle and Rebecca injects Gwen with a sedative that the doctor left. Gwen passes out from the injection and Rebecca says out loud that she did the right thing and that somehow it will all work out for the best and leaves the room.
In her hospital room, Gwen tells Rebecca she doesn't know what to do if Jane isn't a match, because she doesn't want to lose her son. Rebecca tells her that she needs a plan in case things don't go her way. Gwen asks if this is God's way of punishing her for threatening Pilar and her family. Rebecca says it's nonsense because she sent the woman in Mexico a text message telling her not to kill Pilar. Gwen tells Rebecca to call the woman in Mexico to make sure she doesn't come after Pilar.
Rebecca calls Juanita and tells her that the Pilar she saw is the wrong one and she doesn't know where the Pilar she wants is. Juanita doesn't hear anything Rebecca said other than "Pilar" and angrily hangs up the phone. Juanita calls for her servant and tells him to bring "him" in.
Pilar, Theresa, Ethan and the doctor enter Gwen's room and tell her that Jane is getting prepped for testing right now. The doctor says that Jane might not even be able to donate her liver due to the risk it poses and asks if there's anyone else that would be a better donor. Theresa thinks to herself that it's up to Gwen to tell him about Little Ethan, but Gwen says there's no one else. The doctor leaves to tend to Jane and Ethan goes with him to make sure she's not scared. Theresa tells Gwen she hopes she knows what she's doing and leaves the room with Pilar.
Out in the hallway, Theresa tells Pilar she wants Little E tested immediately, but Pilar says she can't do that because only Gwen and Rebecca can give permission for that or else their entire family will be destroyed. Meanwhile, Gwen tells Rebecca she can't lose her son, but she can't lose Ethan either.
In the ER the doctors and nurses work on Gwen. Rebecca freaks out and accuses Theresa of trying to kill Gwen, while Sam continues to hold her back. Ethan pleads with the doctor to save Gwen because her little boy needs her. Gwen is revived and the doctor says she's stable. The doctor says they need to keep an eye on her and hope for the best. Sam asks the doctor to test the bottle for poison.
Gwen asks for Rebecca and she goes into Gwen's room alone. Rebecca tells Gwen that Theresa poisoned her and Gwen says they drove her to it by holding Pilar's secret over her. Gwen says they can use this incident to their advantage and put Theresa in jail. She asks Rebecca if she stopped the woman in Mexico from putting a hit on Pilar's family. Rebecca says she tried. Gwen says she'd like to see Theresa in jail, but doesn't want her whole family wiped out.
Gwen is being wheeled to another area and Theresa says she's sorry. Rebecca yells at her and accuses her of trying to kill Gwen. After Gwen leaves, Ethan says it's not Theresa's fault, but the fortuneteller's. Rebecca asks what he's talking about and after hearing the explanation, she is unconvinced. Ethan thinks the teller wanted to hurt Gwen and used Theresa to do her dirty work for her. Rebecca asks where the woman is now and Theresa says no one has seen her. Tabitha pipes up and says if no one else has seen her, then Sam will have to arrest Theresa. Sam says Tabitha is right, but Ethan suggests they look at the security tapes because they will show the fortuneteller giving Theresa the bottle of poison. Sam says that's an excellent idea and Sam goes to view the tapes.
At the hospital, Gwen gasps for air as Ethan and Rebecca try to help her. Theresa panics and wonders if she is the reason Gwen is in the condition she is in. The doctor comes running to check Gwen out and Theresa says to herself that she never meant for Gwen to die.
Gwen is taken into a room and the doctor tells Ethan and Rebecca she's dying and that she's been poisoned. The doctor tells the nurse to get the Carnival Poison Antidote. Ethan and Rebecca question the name, but the doctor says there was a rash of poisonings from the carnival years ago and they came up with an antidote that saved people's lives. Theresa hears this and connects that her "love potion" is actually poison. She goes to get rid of the bottle and hides it in a plant. Tabitha watches and thinks that Theresa won't get off so easily.

text: Hi, all. I've been lurking around here for several months now and have finally decided to join in on the fun. Well, the title says it all. I was on a tight budget but wanted a BRAND NEW bow. I had looked at all kinds of used bows but just didn't feel comfortable with something that wasn't mine. So, I went on the search to find the one bow to rule them all. I shot a lot of bows in my search. I shot several Fred Bears, a few PSE's, a Matthews Z7 (just for fun), a Hoyt Prohawk, a Bowtech of some sort and a Bear Carnage. Several of those bows were out of price range (Matthews, carnage, etc..) but I just wanted to get a feel for what I liked and didn't. I finally went to a relatively new dealer in town whom deals G5 and Matthews. I tried a 2012 G5 Rogue by Quest and it was all over. I show the demo bow which didn't have the price on it and just assumed it was a 600-800 dollar bow. I was amazed to see 399.99 on the sticker of the other bows. Needless to say I was impressed. The draw is super smooth, the wall and valley feel great, it's fast, virtually vibration free and very inexpensive. I ordered mine with the "G-Fade" as they call it, and I think it looks awesome! I ended up getting completely new gear (arrows, rest, feathers, sights, D loop, peep, tune, the works) for under $600. So, if any of you are looking for a new bow, whether you're on a budget or not, I'd highly recommend you give Quest/G5 a look. I've been very pleased with my bow. It's a major upgrade from the 2001 Reflex I came from!
