Stonington - A Pawcatuck development firm is seeking a special use permit from the town to turn the vacant Tim Hortons shop on Route 1 just east of the high school into a cafe.
In a letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission, Dima Rajab, a member of Levant LLC, said his firm is asking that the building at 148 S. Broad St., be allowed to be used as it restaurant, as it once was, instead of for retail, which it was changed to in an unsuccessful effort to lease the space.
He wrote that it would be very difficult to find a tenant to manage a successful retail business in the building.
Plans call for a 26-seat cafe with no drive-through window, which Rajab wrote will "minimize traffic impact and help with community engagement."
The cafe would offer hot and cold beverages and "grab-and-go-style food options." No liquor would be served.
It would be open weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The application states the nearby high school, police department, residents and businesses, would benefit from having a local cafe. It added the visual appeal of the building and grounds would signal an improvement to that section of South Broad Street.
The application states Tim Hortons ran a doughnut shop in the building from 2004 when it bought Bess Eaton to 2010. It has been vacant for the past four years except for brief 10-day period when a spa store was in operation. The Planning and Zoning Commission will now schedule a public hearing on the request.

Wynyard is a rural town on the north-west coast of Tasmania, Australia 16 kilometres (10 mi) west of Burnie on the Bass Highway at the mouth of the Inglis River.
At the 2011 census Wynyard had an urban population of 5,061[1] and a total greater population of 5,990.[3] It is part of the Waratah-Wynyard Council local government area and is a regional hub, servicing the surrounding rural districts. The largest employer in the town is the dairy processing plant, owned by the New Zealand company Fonterra.
The Tommeginner were a tribe of Indigenous Australians who lived in the region along the coastline until soon after the arrival of Europeans in the 19th century. As hunter-gatherers, the Tommeginner hunted for game on the plains inland, but they also built tidal fish traps with rocks close to the shore at Fossil Bluff which are still evident today.[4]
Wynyard was probably named after Major-General Edward Buckley Wynyard in the early 1850s.[5][6]
Community Radio[edit]
Coast FM is a volunteer community radio station servicing the North-West coast of Tasmania, with the studio based in Wynyard.
Notable residents[edit]
- F. M. Alexander the creator of the Alexander technique was born on the northern bank of the Inglis River at a settlement called Alexandria, situated about three km upstream from the river mouth. He later moved to Waratah, Melbourne, London and New York to pursue acting and teaching.
- Carla Boyd is a retired Australian women's basketball player who was born in Wynyard. Boyd Competed at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, and the 1998 World Championship, winning medals at all three events (1 silver and 2 bronze).
Tulip Festival[edit]
The Wynyard Tulip Festival, also commonly known as 'Bloomin' Tulips' since 2004, is one of Wynyard's major annual events. The event coincides with the flowering of tulip fields on Table Cape and the surrounds, lily fields also come into flower at around the same time.
Wynyard is an increasingly popular tourist centre. Visitors flock to see the local scenic attraction of Table Cape, an extinct volcano with views inland along the north coast and out to Bass Strait. The Lighthouse was commissioned in 1888 and was manned by three keepers until 1920 when it was automated. Another remarkable sight nearby is Fossil Bluff, a natural headland fronting onto Bass Strait, where many fossils including Wynyardii bassiana have been found. This was named, but not discovered, by Sir Walter Baldwin Spencer, a controversial scientist who served for many years as president of the Victorian Football League (now AFL). The Inglis River, with its yacht club [1] and anchorage for fishing boats is the most notable feature of Wynyard itself. The Inglis, though, is tidal and subject to fast and dangerous currents, so swimming is only possible at low tide when the flow of water from inland is modest. The first white settlers in the area were the King family, who lived on a seaside parcel of land, now occupied by the Wynyard Golf Club. Family patriarch John King drowned while fording the mouth of the Inglis River in the 1840s. There are, however, good swimming beaches at East Wynyard and near the Old Port. Close by are camp sites with cabin accommodation.
The town has an annual Christmas parade held on Christmas Eve, a colourful summer fair with free lollies for everyone, and regular markets, on the foreshore, at a site near the airport and a farmers' market at the showground, which backs onto the river.
Within walking distance of the centre of Wynyard is Burnie Airport, run by the Burnie Port Authority. This well-used little airport serves the nearby city of Burnie, about 15 minutes' drive east and offers air access to Melbourne, King Island and Devonport. Buses and car-hire facilities are available as well as adequate car parking. The cafeteria and gift shop are close to the waiting area.
By car, Wynyard is approximately two hours' drive west of Launceston, along the Bass Highway.
Devonport, the southern terminus of the Spirit of Tasmania ferry to the mainland, is 40 minutes east by car.
There are bus services to Wynyard from Hobart, Launceston and Devonport.
Town centre[edit]
Free car parking and level walking, along with a wide range of facilities, make Wynyard attractive for weekly shopping. It is an increasingly popular retirement town for the same reason, with a number of new housing developments. The town boasts two fine old churches, including the Alexander North Heritage-listed Anglican church of St Stephen in Dodgin Street. Its clean beaches are particularly good for walking, thanks to firm quartz sand. There are sheltered spots for swimming at 'The Old Port', changing facilities and showers for bathers on the main beach, and good provision for children, including barbecue and picnic areas, playgrounds and a supervised swimming pool, open in the summer school vacations.
Wynyard is a good place to start exploration of the north west of Tasmania. There are motels and bed-and-breakfast accommodation, including the very popular Alexandria Bed and Breakfast, which is a beautiful and elegant federation home built in 1905 on the banks of the Inglis River. For those who wish to explore the immediate area, there are Table Cape, the tulip fields in spring, the lighthouse at Table Cape, and from the Tollymore Road from Table Cape to the Bass Highway, views can be enjoyed to the west along the coast as far as The Nut at Stanley, taking in the sweep of coast past Boat Harbour beach and Rocky Cape. From Table Cape itself, views east can on a fine day extend beyond the Dial Range to Low Head and the Asbestos Range. Inland, it is possible to see St Valentine's Peak, Black Bluff and on a good day Mount Roland.
The new Tourist Information Centre behind the main shopping area has a complete range of tourist information, its own parking area, and an attractive display. Tourists can book many trips inland from there.
Private flights may be booked from Wynyard's own airport (Burnie Airport), including tourist circuits to the Wilderness in the South West and around the locality. Regional Express Airlines operates scheduled passenger flights to Melbourne at least 4 times a day using Saab 340 turboprop aircraft. Additionally Sharp Airlines offers multiple daily flights between Wynyard and nearby King Island with metro 23 turboprop aircraft. The airport has two runways and is unusual with the secondary runway and a defunct railway line that intersect each other;[7] the line is now in a state of disrepair. Passenger train services run by Tasman Limited from Hobart to Wynyard ceased on 21 July 1978. The service ran daily to and from Hobart with a connection at Western Junction to/from Launceston. It was a narrow-gauge (3'6" - 1067mm) mostly single-track service.[8]
The King family were the first white settlers to take up land on the western bank of the Inglis estuary. They settled there in the early 1840s.
Table Cape Post Office opened around 1856 and was renamed Wynyard in 1882.[9]

Welcome to the Division of Geriatrics
The UC San Diego Division of Geriatrics is dedicated to promoting healthy aging through patient care, medical education, and research. As your body ages, your health care needs change. It's important to work with a physician who has special training in keeping older adults healthy. However, Geriatric medicine is not just for the frail and elderly. In fact, our doctors specialize in helping active "young seniors" transition gracefully into their 60s and keeping you healthy throughout your senior years.
The Division of Geriatrics has been awarded Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program funds through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through not one, but two awards! These awards will provide much-needed funds to increase the number of health providers with training in geriatrics.
We are pleased to announce that Victor Legner, MD, MS has been appointed as the divisions' Fellowship Director.
Ali Mirza, MD recently joined the UC San Diego Health System's Medicine for Seniors Clinic in La Jolla, and is accepting new patients.
UCSD Geriatrics has been ranked 18th out of more than 1500 national programs in U.S. News & World Report's 2015-2016 "America's Best Hospitals" issue.
- Congratulations to Dr. Diane Chau, PI on The San Diego Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program Collaborative, which will create an interprofessional "Geriatrics Scholars" training program focused on providing specialized geriatrics care to medically underserved populations in partnership with San Ysidro Health Center, PACE, and the VA San Diego Healthcare System.
- Congratulations to Dr. Victor Legner and Dr. Daniel Sewell, who are co-PI's on the San Diego/Imperial Geriatric Education Center awarded to San Diego State University's Scool of Nursing, School of Social Work, and Graduate School of Public Health, along with San Diego County Aging & Independence Services, UCSD Geriatrics,and five community partners with a focus on Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD) and the chronic conditions that impact memory loss.
Fellowship Program
The goal of the UC San Diego Geriatrics Fellowship program is to develop geriatricians who desire to work in an academic environment and become leaders in the field of geriatrics. This ACGME-accredited training program is one year in length and primarily designed to meet the clinical requirements for the Certificate of Added Qualifications in Geriatrics from the American Board of Internal Medicine or American Board of Family Medicine.

The hotel was comfortable, clean, and in a good location. The owners were also very nice. We have only two minor complaints. The reception was in one part of Siena and the actual room was a 10 to 15-minute walk to another building in the city. This wouldn't have been so bad except that we had heavy luggage and had just walked from the direction of the actual room without knowing it. The breakfast was also disappointing with soggy croissants wrapped in individual plastic packets. With so many great bakeries in the city, it seems like it would be possible to have fresh bread and some fresh fruit as well.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Orbitz, Hotwire, Booking.com, Priceline and Travelocity so you can book your B&B Siena in Centro reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

I've been looking at my Activity Stream with that "Inspect Element" editor thing in Chrome, and the CSS classes for the link and image embeds aren't being included.
I've made some alterations to the output and that didn't effect the output. But I woke up this morning and the CSS classes were being printed on the page and it was styled the way I wrote the CSS. But after a while it reverted back to how it was.
All the link/image containers come out as are <p> tags.

Arts Netflix Mon Amour: Confederate States of America
Yes, and you thought that I just queue glorious skip-through cheese. Joke's on you, then—apparently, I also queue deeply flawed mockumentaries as well. Annie Wagner reviewed CSAback in March (all the way at the bottom of the link), when it was at the Guild 45th for a week or so, but it was just released on DVD this past Tuesday. (In case you missed its week in the sun: CSA is a fictional documentary about the South winning the Civil War.)
Although Annie's review is right—the movie is paced poorly and not thought through in any real way—I still feel as though CSA is worth a toss in the queue, especially because the humor probably works best at home. It's funny in the way that good standup about race relations is funny: you laugh, and then you squirm, and then you wonder exactly why you laughed in the first place. It's certainly more effective than—if not as reliably funny as—Sarah Silverman. Plus, it's always kind of academically exciting to see a mainstream American movie question Abraham Lincoln's motives—it's when they put Abraham Lincoln in blackface and make him sing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," that you begin to wonder if the whole thing is a good idea. I'm glad I rented it, but I'm glad I only rented it, if you catch my drift.

Show transcribed image text Consider a CMOS technology for which mu nC0x = 4 * mu pC0x = 0.5 mA/V2 , VDD = 5V, and Vin = -Vtp = IV . Assume that the basic inverter has (W/L)p = 4 mu m/0.5 mu m for the PMOS transistor and (W/L)n = 1 mu m/0.5 mu m for the NMOS transistor. Sketch the transistor schematic of CMOS logic gate that realizes the function: V = (A + B)C-. Find the transistor sizes to provide the gate, in the worst case, with the propagation delays equal to the basic inverter. Calculate the resistances RDSN(ON) (equivalent resistance of the NMOS transistor with VSG> Vin and small vDS) and RDSP(ON) (equivalent resistance of the PMOS transistor with vSG> - Vsp and small VSD) of the gate transistors. For which combination of the gate inputs A, H and C, we have the best tput delay (propagation delay from low to high), and for which combination we have the best tPH1, delay (propagation delay from high to low)?

Ohio Dominican University
During college, I changed my major several times, taking numerous classes for each one to determine what I wanted to do with my life. I experimented with Political Science for two years, in which I took classes in criminology, speech, and history. My next year of college was spent in English and Writing, where I focused on the obvious, as well as classes in psychology. The last few years of my college experience, where I ended up graduating with a Bachelor's in Finance, were based around all of the science and math classes that Ohio Dominican University had to offer. Before, during, and after my college career I worked through multiple jobs in several states in which I was promoted into management positions with each company. Within these companies I was responsible for interviewing and training countless employees to both fulfill their positions and learn how to deal with customers and situations in the workplace. Since I have been back in Indiana, I have been tutoring my little brother (who is a senior in high school) and have helped him to improve significantly in each subject. School has always come naturally to me; and while I haven't always given my full potential in my own studies, I have learned how to train and work with others to meet theirs.
My teaching style is one of friendly leadership. Working through problems or lessons with the student by leading them through it, then working it with them side by side while explaining the details helps them achieve the accomplishment of learning without making them feel as if they were just instructed how to do it. Helping a student learn is more than just teaching them a lesson in math, science, or English; it's about being someone that they can look up to as a role model, being someone that they can learn from in more than just an academic manner, and being someone who is there for them when they need something. Personally, I think students of all ages and academic levels need to be coached and pushed to achieve their full potential; not only does a student need to meet the requirements of a class or job, they need to push themselves to pass that class or fulfill that job to the best of their ability. Once a student realizes and strives to accomplish this goal, it will open the door to be rewarded with better grades, promotions, and achievements in life; helping a student reach his/her potential is my goal. During college, I changed my major several times, taking numerous classes for each one to determine what I wanted to do with my life.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A Montgomery law firm has filed a lawsuit seeking to force the state Finance Department to pay legal fees for work the firm did for a legislative oversight committee.
The firm of Thomas, Means, Gillis & Seay was hired by the Legislature's Contract Review Committee to stop the state from proceeding with a $13 million unbid computer contract with Paragon Source LLC, a company without a business phone listing or Web site.
A Jefferson County judge earlier this year threw out the lawsuit filed to stop the contract.
The state Finance Department then refused to pay the lawyers.
In the lawsuit filed Monday, the attorneys asked a Montgomery judge to order the state to pay the legal bill for more than $78,000.

As an entrepreneur, Elaine trained and guided employees and fellow entrepreneurs. As a professional speaker, trainer and workshop leader, Elaine has trained hundreds of budding and seasoned business professionals to "get out of their own way" and achieve their goals.

Elaine is such a positive, motivational tutor for my 14 year old daughter. She is giving her guidance in Life Skills as well as writing, editing and preparing work for speech presentations. My daughter's work with Elaine is priceless, and she will benefit from her tutoring experience now and for all of her academic years ahead.
We highly recommend Elaine and hope our daughter will continue working with her throughout high school!
Thanks Elaine! I leave K's tutoring sessions feeling inspired too.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Implementing the process of combining interests and talent with market viability significantly enhance success. Career development is a very personal process requiring guidance and deep personal introspection on the part of the student.
Once the process is followed in detail, the results for the student increase their productivity, profitability and peace of mind. It is not just being employed, it is thriving in the chosen career.
My trophy/award collection testifies to not only academic degrees but the practical achievement.
Public speaking effectiveness depends on conveying your message in the manner in which the audience prefers to receive it. Matching your content and delivery to your audience enhances connection with them. Implementing the various processes insures your continued success as a speaker. Appearance,body language, vocal variety, and use of the stage also influence effectiveness.
As the winner of International Speech contests as well as coaching several students to win contests, I understand what it takes to help students achieve. I have formal certification as a world class speaking coach plus individual achievement and student achievement complete a full package. Work with a coach who "walks the talk" and helps you duplicate successful results.

And why it's the future of the web
Forget the currency; it's the protocol behind it that matters. It will mutate and take over everything we do (or could one day do) on the Web. You've been warned
Today, cloud computing takes place in giant server farms owned by the likes of Amazon, Google, or Microsoft—but it doesn't have to
Airbnb: Peer-to-peer. Monkey Parking: JerkTech. But how do you tell the difference?
Seemed like this weekend everybody was Uber'ing, Lyft'ing, or Airbnb'ing (and it wasn't just about the $30 coupons floating around).

It's no secret that the entertainment industry, under the auspices of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), views college students using peer-to-peer file sharing networks as the prime perpetrators of online thievery. Now it looks like they may get a boost from Congress in their attempt to stop such copyright violations, if a tiny new provision in the huge College Opportunity and Affordability Act makes it into law. It seems that the industry views campus administrators as both partners and opponents in the fight to stop digital piracy, a notion that's …

Achievement Guide & Roadmap
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 3
-Offline 31/40 [755/1000]
-Online 9/40 [245/1000]
-Approximate amount of time to 1000 5-10 hours (15-25 if you don't have 4 controllers)
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed Multiple
-Number of missable achievements 1 (Next Rung on the Ladder)
-Do cheat codes disable achievements? No cheats
-Does difficulty affect achievements? Just for New Challenge
-Glitchy achievements No
-Unobtainable achievements None
-Extra equipment needed? Much easier with 4 controllers
Monopoly Streets is a fun take on the monopoly game we all know and love. It is a relatively easy 1000, with a few achievements relying on pure luck. However I cannot stress how much easier this game is with 4 controllers as a lot of the luck is taken away and you can make stuff happen on your own that could potentially take you a long time when relying on the CPU.
Also please note that the UK and US versions will have different names for the properties.
First of all, find yourself a boosting partner, use the achievement trading thread found here. Work together to unlock I can do this without Houses, Taking Over the World, Doesn't Hurt Much, Plays Nicely with Others, Better Luck Next Time, I Want A Rematch, and How We Played Back in my Day.
You will work towards other achievements when playing online and may get lucky with some of the dice rolling achievements.
Playing through/Mopping Up
Hopefully you will have unlocked a few of the other achievements while playing online, if not don't worry. Most of these achievements can be unlocked very easy if you have 4 controllers, have a look at the individual achievement guides to see what needs to be done. You will have to play on the Monopoly City board at least once in order to get the So Big and Shiny achievement.
Keep on playing games and you will be able to pick your way through the rest of the achievements.
The only ones that may elude you at the end may be Lucky Three and Rolled a 15, but keep playing speed die mode, and they will come eventually.
Overall a pretty fun and easy 1000 and a great game for families or parties.

*Most of the work on this achievement guide was done by Soldier 4 I AM. I have merely tidied it up a bit and added a few bits!*
Winner 20 Win your first game of MONOPOLY Streets
Win a game of Monopoly in any game mode. This will come naturally.
Lucky Three 15 Rolled Triples
Play in speed die mode, you must roll either a 333, 222, 111. Just keep playing and this will come naturally.
Building the Empire 25 Won 10 offline games
Win 10 games in any mode. You can use a multiple controllers and just declare bankruptcy 10 times.
No Ground Untouched 15 Player has built 100 houses
Build 100 houses in any game mode. You will get this during normal play. Use 4 controllers in a custom game. Deal out all the properties and when the game starts trade all the properties and money to your player. Build the houses and have the other controllers declare bankruptcy to win the match. Keep doing this until you get the achievement. You will get this achievement when working for the Subdivision achievement.
Expensive Property15 Acquire the most expensive property in the game
Purchase Boardwalk property in any game mode.
Eviction Notice 20 Replaced your houses with a hotel
On a monopoly colour, build up your houses to a hotels on all three colors. The achievement will pop once the hotels are built. Much easier to do on the cheaper properties.
Bypass Bail 5 Rolled doubles to get out of Jail for free
When you are in jail choose not to pay the bail to get out of jail. Choose the Roll for doubles option and roll a double. You get three (3) attempts at it, one (1) attempt per turn. Not too difficult as doubles come in quite often.
Needs a New Challenge 20 Successfully won against 3 hard AI
Create a game with these custom rules.
Starting Cash: Maximum (2,500 on UK game)
Starting Properties: ALll
Starting Property Distribution: Random
Build Rules: Even
Houses Available: 8
Hotels Available: 4
Houses Per Hotel: 4
Selling Houses Percentage: 100
Mortgage Interest: 0
Income Tax: 0
Super Tax: 0
Free Parking Payout: Maximum (500 on UK game)
Max Turns In Jail: 4
Win Condition: Most Colour Groups
When # Players Bankrupt: 1
Game Ends In # Turns: 10
At the start of the game make sure you get the highest role to go first, if you don't restart until you do. With these rules all properties are divided up between all players. After your first role, but before you end your turn you need to do a couple of things
1) Acquire as many colour groups as possible (best way to do this is to trade for the cheapest properties and feel free to add random properties like, say, Greens and the Utilities to the mix to save your cash-obviously, if you already have 2 greens, keep them and just trade for the 3rd one instead)
2) Buy up all the available houses on your cheapest properties, if that means trading first to get a full colour group on one of the cheapest ones, then go for it. IMPORTANT, these rules only have 8 houses, so if you buy them all for the cheapest colour group (brown) you will use them all up, but DON'T turn them in to hotels. When you change them to hotels, all the houses go back to the bank. What you are trying to do is tie up all the houses so no other player can develop properties making any rent you pay really low.
By the end of your first turn, you should have at least 3 colour groups and all the houses tied up, if you can, try to hold some random extra properties from different colour groups. They can be used to stop other players getting groups or as bargaining chips later in the game if necessary.
In my first game I had the Browns, Light Blues and Oranges, as well as one Pink and I had all 8 houses on my Light Blue properties. The one important thing to make sure is that no one else has as many properties as you, when trading, distribute extra properties liberally around the 3 so no one person holds them all.
There are only 8 colour groups in the game, if you hold 3, hypothetically an AI player could hold 5, but it never happens. The properties are divided too evenly and nobody else gets houses and hotels to get high rent. In all my games I had 2 AI with 2 colours each, and one with 1. All they did for 10 turns was just move around the board, occasionally they would try to trade with each other, but it never worked out. At this point you can just ride out the 10 turns for victory. Also, if you haven't got it yet, if you fast forward everything, you'll easily get the achievement for winning a game in under 20 minutes too.
Philanthropist 20 Completed a trade that gave another player a color group
Complete a trade with another player that would give you a monopoly (all 2/3 properties) in any color group.
Flea Market 20 Bought a property cheaply
Win an auction by bidding anything under the property value. When in a auction press the A Button and bid $10.00. Then press the B Button so the bid goes to $0. When the timer goes to zero the achievement will unlock.

Celebrating 10 Acquired your 75th property
Buy any 75 properties in any game mode on or offline. The achievement will pop up right when you purchase the 75th one.
Repeat Offender 10 Went to jail for the 3rd time in one game
This achievement can be done in any game mode. You must go to jail by any method 3 times. You can be sent to jail by rolling 3 doubles in a row or by the Go to directly to jail chance card.
Glad its not my Bill 25 Received 120 on a Utility rent
You need to own both utilities and have a player land on a utility. The achievement will pop when the player lands on your utility monopoly. You can set up a custom game and have all the properties dealt out and trade for the utilities.
Better than Free 20 Received more than 200 when landing on Free Parking
Set up a custom game. Tab over using the RB until you see the options to change the Free Parking. Set the amount to over 200 and save the custom setting. Start up a game with Speed Die with your custom game and land on free parking. The achievement will unlock after your turn is over.
I Like Trains 20 Own all the railroads
Own all the railroad's in any game mode.
Great Start 20 Someone pays you rent before your second turn
For this achievement it will help if you win the dice roll and go first. Buy up any of the light blue or orange properties and hope that another player will land on your properties. This may take a few tries, but I was able to get this achievement my first game.
Market Inflator 25 Get an opponent to pay double the price during an auction
This achievement is best done with multiple controllers in bull market game type. When the auction starts have one of your other controllers keep biding until they cannot make anymore bids. The bar will be all the way to the top and will be twice what the property is worth. The achievement will unlock once the property is sold.
Now that is ROI 25 Collect more than a 1000 in rent
Build up your monopolies to hotels on any three (3) color groups. I got my achievement on the light blue properties. Building hotels on Boardwalk and Parkplace will also work but, other players do not land on those properties as often. Once someone lands on one of your properties and pay over $1000 in rent the achievement will unlock.
I'm Keeping this Card 10 Player paid to get out of Jail when they had a Get out of Jail Free Card
For this achievement you will need a Get out of jail free card by getting it from landing on Community Chest or trading it from another controller. Once you have your Get out of jail free card get yourself into jail by rolling doubles or get the Go directly to jail card. When it is your turn again you will get the option to pay bail, roll a double, or use the get out of jail free card. Just pay the bail and get out of jail without using the card. The achievement will unlock as soon as youre out of jail.
Tax Audit Nightmare!20 Paid 1200 in Taxes in one game
In one game you will need to pay $1200 in taxes. Set up a custom game and change the amount of the taxes paid when landing on the two tax spots on the board. Set the amount to $500 for taxes paid. Set the starting amount to $2500 per player so that you or the other controllers do not go bankrupt before you have paid $1200 in taxes. Start the game of speed die and play until the achievement pops.
Subdivision 35 Player has built 500 houses
This achievement requires you to build 500 houses. All game modes count for this achievement in both on and offline games. Make this one of the last achievements that you go for because all the houses that you build in other games will count for this achievement. To make this go faster set up custom game and have all the properties dealt out prior to the start. Set the starting money at $2500 and trade all with all the other controllers their money and properties. Build all houses and no hotels to save on your money. Once all the houses are built have the other controllers declare bankruptcy to win the game. Keep doing this until you build 500 houses. You can check how many houses you built by going looking under the Profile menu at the main screen.

Mega-Tycoon 35 Finished a game with total worth greater than 9000
Just like the description says finish a game with a total worth greater than 9000. To do this own all the properties and build up the properties until your total worth is over 9000. Easy to do with 4 controllers
Quick Win 35 Won a game in under 20 minutes
Start up any game and have the other controllers declare bankruptcy. The achievement will unlock when the game ends.
Property Magnate 35 Own 3 color groups at once
Own 3 different colored monopolies at the same time.
This Plan is Better 35 Completed a trade that gave you a color group
Make a trade in a game another controller that will give you a monopoly. The achievement will unlock for you once this is completed.
Rolled a 15 15 Player rolled a 15
Start a game using the speed die option. During the game roll a 6, 6, and a 3. Try for this when going for your other achievements. This is pure luck that you get this achievement and may take some time to get it just keep trying and it will unlock.
Hotel Maximus 35 See the bank run out of hotels in a game with Official MONOPOLY rules
An "easy" way of doing this is with 4 controllers. Have 2 trade out all their cash to one player. Instead of buying when you land, go to an auction. That's an extra 20seconds + load times but it saves anywhere from $60 to $400 each time you win the auction at $0 (to do this, have person A be the winner of the auction... person A presses A then B and is now the highest bidder).
Not accounting for chance/community chest/taxes, this gives you a total of $4500 to start (+1500 from the remaining player when you get enough of the properties to build on).
So with $6,000 and the list below, you can plot out a way to get all 12 hotels. By the time you land on enough of the properties to buy 12 hotels, you should have enough money to buy them (depending on how many times you've passed go and landed on taxes, etc.)
Here is the total cost of getting to the hotels for each color group:
Brown -------- $0500 -- 2 hotels
Light Blue --- $0750 -- 3 hotels
Pink --------- $1500 -- 3 hotels
Orange ------- $1500 -- 3 hotels
Red ---------- $2250 -- 3 hotels
Yellow ------- $2250 -- 3 hotels
Green -------- $3000 -- 3 hotels
Blue --------- $2000 -- 2 hotels
All Your Eggs in One Basket 20 The only properties owned are part of a single color group.
During a game you can only own one monopoly no other color groups. Once you have the one monopoly have the other players quit
out and the achievement will unlock.
So Big and Shiny 50 Get the largest upgrade to your corporate HQ
Start a game using the monopoly city board, and get your total worth over 10,000 by owing all properties and building them up to hotels.
Rainbow 50 Own one of each color group at the same time
For this achievement you need to own one of every color on the board. Start a game of bull Market and buy one of each color to unlock this achievement.
Its has been reported by the user Grummy that you need to own all the properties for this achievement to unlock.
Concierge Service 50 Provide the best Hotel Service on the most expensive property without a player going bankrupt
Build Boardwalk and Park Place into hotel's and have a player land on the Boardwalk portion of the hotel without going bankrupt. The other player can mortgage all of his properties, but they need to survive until their next turn.

You need to augment your achievement guide to note that there is 1 glitched achievement. The "Hotels Maximus" achievement will not unlock, if you quit your game at ANY point and continue from a saved game. You MUST play from the start of the game without quitting, until you get the achievement... otherwise the achievement will not unlock!

Video reseña: Moto G de Motorola
Excelente experiencia de uso a cambio de un precio muy accesible
Name: It was disappointing to see Tom Brokaw's commentary in covering the Democratic convention. He characterized some Sanders supporters as "sore losers". That's not at all true. Like Bernie, they're simply driven by principle rather not politics. Following Brokaw's twisted logic, I guess women were sore losers when they were arrested in their campaign to gain the right to vote during the women's suffrage movement. He also suggested something to the effect that Sanders needed to get his people in line behind Hillary. What Brokaw apparently doesn'tt understand is that while Sanders can make his best case for Hillary, ultimately it's up to those damn principled voters to decide that Hillary is deserving of their vote. She needs to win them over by adopting positions that are in the best of all Americans, not just Wall St., frackers, those who wish to subvert democracy through the TPP, etc. Brokaw should apologize.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

My daughter and I are using this and we love it. I'm 60, she's 26, and it works for both of us. Love the smell, love the feel, easy to use, leaves the skin feeling really soft and healthy-looking and healthy-feeling. Would highly recommend.
I have difficulty with almost all products, due to my chemical sensitivity. This product did a very nice (and gentle) job of exfoliating my face. It contains ingredients which contribute a fresh, natural fragrance, and has proved to be safe for me. Very pleasant experience with this product. It does the job, plus is non-toxic.
Good for Oily skin

Very good as all Himalaya products.
Posted by 5354324088612118969 on Jun 02, 2014
I liked how rough this one was, it's hard to find a scrub that actually scrubs, everything is "gentle" nowadays which is not what I'm looking for. This actually would do more of a microdermabration type job. However, dried my skin out, which made me break out some. Smell is also kind of woodsy, more for a man. My husband also did not like how much this tried his skin out though. So, body scrub this became. Anyway, would not recommend. This needs a serious dose of shea butter in it and mango butter or something like that - to exfoliate and not dry out.
THE BEST NATURAL EXFOLIANT and affordable
Posted by Reviewer3032465 on Apr 08, 2014
been using this for the past 14 months and i am so happy i started. it is the best thing for my skin, it is natural and healthy for any skin, i have encouraged some of my other friends to use it and so far all of them have renewed velvet clean skin. all you need is a (coin)quarter size and it does wonders. leaves the skin soft, smooth, glowing.

The U.N. Secretariat unacceptably takes an unconstructive and inconsistent approach on investigating the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday.
In response to a request of the Syrian government to investigate the possible use of toxic substances near Aleppo on March 19, the U.N. Secretariat demanded "unlimited access for experts to all facilities in Syria and to all persons whom experts believe it necessary to interrogate," the ministry said in a statement.
"Such approach reminds of the policy towards using weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The policy was based on deliberately false data and lead to common consequences," the ministry said.
The ministry said the U.N. Secretariat, under the pressure of certain states, took "an unconstructive position and in essence wrecks the investigation of concrete information." Moscow considers such actions "unacceptable and inadmissible" in terms of discussing crises and other disputes, the ministry said.

"LIETUVA" Top 5 Page for this destination Lithuania by ginte
Lithuania Travel Guide: 5,256 reviews and 12,088 photos
State - Lithuanian Republic.
State flag - 3 colours ( yellow , green , red ).

Area: 63,300 thousand kilometres.
Inhabitants: around 3,5 mln.
Borders: with Latvia (576 km), Byelorussia (660 km), Poland (103 km), Russia (273 km), Scandinavian countries (90 km coast of the Baltic Sea). Total 1702 km.

Lithuania has joined European Union on the 1st of May, 2004.
This is the European flag. It is the symbol not only of the European Union but also of Europe's unity and identity in a wider sense. The circle of gold stars represents solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe.
The number of stars has nothing to do with the number of Member States. There are twelve stars because the number twelve is traditionally the symbol of perfection, completeness and unity. The flag will therefore remain unchanged regardless of future EU enlargements.
- Pros:Some unique places and wonderful architecture is worth to see...
- Cons:The weather isn't always perfect...
- In a nutshell:Not only the lakes, rivers and meadows...

Yes I visited Vilnius, Kaunas and Trakai. I like them all but walking a whole day in Vilnius stopping sometimes for coffee was a most enjoyable experience for me. It was last autumn. You pics gave me reminiscence of my visit.
The "pictuesque sprinkling of snow" is sometimes packed ice several inches thick, even on sidewalks, which are not cleaned off. Watch out for avalanches off the roofs in Old Town on thawing days! good page.
Happy Birthday...planning a trip to Europe soon, might have to check the place out.... by the way any beer is stronger than American beer......
Hi Ginte! Great page and very helpful tips!!! Thanks for sharing! BTW I also collect UNESCO postcards, if you are interested in trades, please, contact me. Greetings from Bulgaria, Lilia
I enjoyed your page, Ginte. The cloisters looked very interesting--what beautiful architecture! There are some very charming towns in Lithuania...thanks for the tips...
in Russia the sky is very similiar to Lithuanian one:-))
Great page. Your tips are very comprehensive. I would love to visit your country in the winter some time. What are those beautiful flowers on your Spring travelogue?
Nice job about Lithuania...
Wow, the Museum of Devil's Sculptures, now that sounds interesting, hahaha! This sounds like a good country for a beer-lover like myself. Great page!
Forget the fact that Lithuania is a great beautiful country, for me it is enough that you live there to make it the best country :-D

It was like something out of a dance.
She stood across the room, staring at him. He was washed in a cold white spotlight in an otherwise dark room. He wasn't directly facing her, angled slightly away. The light slowly faded in around them.
It revealed two others with whom he was laughing and chattering. They all seemed very happy, but she couldn't hear them. There was no sound except her footsteps, as she marched up to him. Then her voice: "Talk to me."
She had spoken to him directly, but he turned obliviously and spoke to someone behind her. She readjusted, stepping in front of him again. "Talk to me!" He continued conversing with the other two.
"Listen." He kept talking. "Listen! Talk to me!" The person directly behind her silently laughed.
She took his hand. "Hear me." She paused, waiting for a response. But nothing.
Cold silence.
Her eyes welled up, and she angrily blinked away the tears. "Hear me! Please!"He still smiled through her. She dropped his hand dejectedly, "…please." She couldn't stop the tears rolling down her face, no matter how stupid she felt. "Please."
That's when he looked at her.
At first she didn't notice. She thought he was still talking to the people behind her until she realized they had both moved into her peripheral vision. She spun around to see if anyone remained, but pivoted back when there was no one. He stared at her inquisitively, though he didn't speak. He leaned in, as though waiting for an answer to an unvoiced question. He seemed almost afraid to touch her. He started reaching up to wipe her tears away.
Until his companion noiselessly called him back.
He turned back to them, and they beckoned him silently. He dropped his hand to his side and walked back, gesticulating in a way that explained his pause to them. They all laughed and started out the door. "No, don't leave!" He couldn't hear her. "Don't leave me!"She fell to her knees, not even looking at him and sobbing quietly to the floor. "…I needed you…"
He looked back, but she was looking down. He searched for her, scanning the room.
But she was invisible.
And he was gone.

Just a short story. I'm thinking of writing it into a two-minute play (a very simple script) because I'd love to see it performed
Such a sad story, and really well expressed. I particularly like it how you phrased parts of it, for example when you wrote "He was washed in a cold white spotlight" - I have not heard it expressed in such a way before. You really have an ability with words.
Thank you so much; your feedback was very greatly appreciated. And thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it
Wow! This is amazing! I love it!
Oh my... Yes, I think it should be performed as well. ^^ You should video tape it if it is, I would love to see it!
Great job with this<3

prAna Alyson Knicker
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These Calf length yoga pants are wonderful for hot yoga classes. I usually wear long yoga pants so these are a treat in the hot room and have nice stretch and a flattering fit. I'm 5'2 and weigh about 125 lbs. I bought a size XS and it fit well. A Small might have also fit but I'm not sure it was available. I especially like the waistband design.
pants? what pants?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I was a little hesitant on purchasing these because I'm short and being short, it'll just makes me look stumpy. After receiving these pants, I completely fell in love with them. They are so light weight and so easy to move in, you seriously don't feel like your wearing pants and I'm all about being pantsless (when at home haha) Also, when doing hot yoga, the material is so breathable, they don't stick to you like glue. oh, the best part is they don't make me look stumpy, but highlights all my good attributes. :) I loved them so much, I bought another pair.
I just like saying the word "Knicker"
This is me in Big Bear California after teaching a yoga therapy workshop. I'm wearing the Alyson Knicker. Aren't the color, length, and waist band so cute? These move and stretch easily with your body during yoga and work well even in a hot yoga class.
Here's what's not cute....cellulite. If there are parts of your legs that you are less than proud of, just know this fabric shows it all. I may or may not have first hand experience with this.
Regardless, I still love these and wear them all the time because they are so nice to practice in. Some people have no shame.
In Action
Here is what they look like on a human being!
Nice example of a human being.
Love These!
These knickers feel like you are wearing nothing! The fabrics so soft and lightweight, I couldn't believe it. The fabric drapes really nice on and the slight tapering around the knee, makes this knicker great for yoga or sessions at the gym. It has a very cute, sporty waist band in the space dye fabric that flattens and flatters any figure.

Ranking the French Attempts of Djokovic, Williams, Nadal
The French Open is the only Grand Slam played in a country where English is not the native language.
For years, top tennis players have felt compelled to speak French when possible. The fans love it. Television interviewers encourage it. And even Americans, not known for their language skills, have given it a try: Jim Courier famously spoke French after losing in the 1993 final. Then, of course, there's the impossible bar set by Roger Federer, who gives news conferences in English, French and Swiss-German.
This year, three of the tournament favorites— Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal—have decided to put their French skills to the test in interviews more than ever before.
Williams has dabbled in French for years and owns an apartment in Paris. She wanted to speak French last year, but lost in the first round. "I just had to kind of jump in," she said. "It's way, way, more nerve-wracking than playing tennis." Djokovic is fluent in Serbian, English and Italian, and not bad in German. "We have a saying in our country, you know: More languages you know, more is your worth as a person," he said. Nadal, who speaks Spanish and English, is the French Open's most decorated champion, but the most shy with his French.
So as this year's French Open nears its final weekend, we collected recordings of these three talking to reporters and fans in French and put them to a panel of French-speaking experts. Here are the results.

SoCal man injures father with samurai sword
SAN DIEGO A man is under arrest after allegedly attacking his 69-year-old father with a samurai sword while the elder man slept in his San Diego County home.
City News Service reports that 39-year-old John Cahan is accused of barging into his father's bedroom in Spring Valley at about 3 a.m. Sunday and rousing him from sleep.
Sheriff's Sgt. Mark Varnau says Cahan angrily demanded that his father hold out a hand so he could cut it off. After swinging the sword several times, Cahan connected with his father's leg, critically wounding him.
Cahan was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse.
His father, whose name was not released, was listed in critical condition at Sharp Memorial Hospital Monday night.
