Acquire Board Game

Top 10 Board Games for FamiliesPlaying board games together is one of our family?s favorite past times.? I recently began my review of the top 10 board games every family should play.? This is the list so far:

Top 10 Board Games for Families:

10. Streetcar

9.? Empire Builder

8.? Monopoly

7.? Railways of the World

6.? Carcassonne

5.? Puerto Rico

4.? Elasund:? The First City

3.? Ticket to Ride

2.? The Settlers of Catan

acquire board game box

Designer: Sid Sackson

Publisher: Avalon Hill/Hasbro

Players: 3 ? 6

Time: 60 to 90 min.

Age: 12+ (My recommendation: 10+)

Fun to Age Ratio: 8

Type: Stock Speculation

Strategy?-x??Luck

Acquire is not only at the top of this list but is also my all-time favorite board game.? It is a simple but sweat-inducing abstract game of stock speculation and corporate merger which moves fast and keeps players engaged the entire game.? While it may not capture the interest of the younger members of your family, those 10 and up should get up to speed quickly and the intensity will keep adults locked in.

The game board is a 9 x 12 grid, with columns labeled 1 through 12 and rows labeled A through I.? There are 108 tiles, one for each grid space on the board and labeled for that space ? for example, 1-A, 1-B, 2-B, etc.? Players start with 6 randomly drawn tiles and play one per turn.? A new tile is randomly added to the players hand at turn end, so players maintain 6 tiles throughout the game.? When a tile is played directly adjacent to a solitary tile already on the board, a hotel chain is created.? As more connecting tiles are added, the hotel chain grows and its stock value goes up.

There are 7 different hotel chains and 25 shares of stock for each available for purchase.? Once a hotel chain is created, stock may be purchased in that chain.? Players may purchase up to 3 shares of stock per turn and the player creating a new hotel chain gets 1 free share in that company.? Stock value goes up as a hotel chain grows, but the game is not simply one of stock acquisition.? The most important element of the game is merging of different chains.? When a tile is played that connects two chains, the smaller company is dissolved and its tiles become part of the larger chain.? Bonuses are paid to the players who own the most and the second most (major and minor interest holders respectively) shares of stock in the dissolved company.? All players who own stock in the dissolved company now have the opportunity to sell those shares, keep them in case the company is revived, or trade them 2 for 1 for shares in the new company.? The game ends when one of two conditions is met and one of the players decides to call the game.? Each player then liquidates his stock, all final majority and minority bonuses are paid out, and the winner is the player with the most money.

acquire board gameAs already stated, game play is simple but intense.? There isn?t a large variety of decisions to be made each turn; primarily, players have to decide which tile to play and which company?s stock to buy.? However, players must continuously monitor what other players are buying and decide how to balance short term cash flow from mergers with long term growth in stock value.? While game play is an abstract representation of stock speculation, the competitive wealth building is very realistic.

Acquire has a rather interesting history.? It was first published in 1962 as part of 3M?s bookshelf game series.? The game board in these editions is small but made of sturdy plastic with recessed spaces for each tile so they don?t slide around the board. Avalon Hill purchased Acquire in 1976 and initially produced a similar bookshelf-style game, although by that time component quality had decreased.? By the 1990?s, Avalon Hill was publishing a much inferior traditional board style with cardboard components and tiles that could easily slide around the board.? Hasbro bought the rights in 1998 and in 1999 produced a version under the Avalon Hill brand which had renamed companies but improved hard plastic components and tiles that fit in place as they did in the original version.

And now the bad news.? The current version was released in 2008 and is once again a flat board with cardboard tiles that don?t fit in place.? Please don?t hesitate to buy it if this is the only version you can find.? The game play experience remains intact ? just don?t bump the table.? However, my recommendation is to find one of the 3M bookshelf versions from the 1960s.? These are often on eBay for very reasonable prices.? If you?re lucky you may find one of the 1962 versions with wooden tiles.? Absolutely awesome.

Acquire is just simply one of the best games ever and has stood the test of time, remaining very much at home with the current crop of German board games.? This may not be the first game on my list that you try, especially if you have younger children, but it is the one you MUST play.

Canon EOS-1D X ship date slips into April, takes with it our hearts

Canon EOS-1D X ship date slips into April, takes with it our hearts
Bad news camera aficionados, Canon's confirmed its mother of all cameras, the EOS-1D X, won't ship until the "end of April." Depending on how one counts, that's a lag of a month or two from its previously estimated "March" arrival. Unfortunate, as we were looking forward to it going tête-à-tête with its equally impressive crosstown rival from Nikon, which will nonchalantly make its March due date. On the bright side, though, now you've got ever more time to scrounge up the necessary $6,800 to purchase Canon's offering, in addition to re-reading our hands-on ad nauseum. Go on, you supply the clicks and we'll bring the tissues.

The Talon : 'This Means War'

This-Means-War-Poster

Rebekah Savage, opinion editor
February 28, 2012
Filed under Arts and Entertainment

Picture two highly trained, professional CIA agents who work together exceptionally well, but tend to bungle missions. Now picture a woman dating the two CIA agents ? at the same time.

Through the use of humor and action, the fast-paced movie, ?This Means War,? keeps you entertained with the wild schemes the agents are willing to pull off to ?one up? the other.

Tuck, the British agent (Tom Hardy) tries to win over Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) through the use of simple and thoughtful actions. Tuck takes Lauren to the circus on their first date and even wins her a giant, stuffed animal.

FDR (Christ Pine), meanwhile, uses more expensive and elaborate methods. Lauren is coerced to go on their first date and is disgusted with all the flash and glamour FDR tries to dazzle her with.

Lauren, in the meantime, feels guilty for dating two guys at once, but has a hard time deciding which one to break up with. Lauren?s best friend, Trish (Chelsea Handler), is no help to her. In fact, Trish encourages Lauren to continue dating the two men.

As the plots to win over Lauren become more dramatic, a bad guy comes to town, literally. Heinrich (Til Schweiger), an international criminal, is out for revenge against the two agents who killed his brother. The two agents in the crosshairs are Tuck and FDR, of course.

With all of their focus on Lauren, FDR and Tuck come to a rude awakening when Heinrich enters the scene. After a wild car chase filled with edge-of-your-seat action, Lauren still has a decision to make about which guy she wants to choose.

?This Means War? certainly had moments of well-timed comedy and plenty of fast-paced action that made the time pass by quickly. Despite the comedy and intense action, I would only rate the movie 3.5 stars out of 5. The overuse of clich?s became old very quickly and killed what could have been an outstanding movie.

?This Means War? is showing at the Fulton Cinema 8. For movie times and ticket info, call (573) 642-2122 or go to www.bbtheaters.com.

IRS tweaks nonprofit disclosure requirements for 2011 tax year ...

Richard Croghan, Reni? Burbank and Julie Schoepp"

The Internal Revenue Service has clarified a handful of provisions related to its form 990 in tax year 2011, the document used in tax filing for nonprofit organizations that was significantly expanded in 2008.

The changes, while small in comparison to the original redesign, represent a furthering of efforts by the IRS to fortify and clarify the disclosures required by nonprofits.

?The objective in doing this was to provide transparency,? said Richard Croghan, a partner at Moss Adams. ?It keeps on evolving.?

In a Jan. 11 memo, the IRS outlined its instructions for the form in 2011. Among them was clarification of what could be considered income for executives and highly compensated employees, including certain information from those respective individual?s W-2 forms. Accrual or reductions in the value of benefit plans for employees and executives with income topping $150,000 must also be reported.

?The IRS has fine-tuned a little more of what needs to be reported? for executive compensation, said Reni? Burbank, senior tax manager for Moss Adams in the region including Santa Rosa and San Francisco. Ms. Burbank noted that executive pay is an important issue to potential investors and the public.

The memo also clarified how nonprofits should treat partnerships on their balance sheet. Organizations must now share the distributive share of assets in a joint venture as a separate item, showing the ending capital from the partnership.

The agency has also clarified requirements related to foreign activity, as some non-profits have foreign missions. Previously, tax-exempt organizations were required to disclose investments if they resulted in a $10,000 net revenue or expense. Now, those foreign investments can be valued up to $100,000 before disclosure.

?Members of the public rely on the Form 990 or Form 990-EZ as their primary or sole source of information about a particular organization,? said Julie Schoepp, associate managing partner at Santa Rosa?s Dal Poggetto & Company. ?How the public perceives an organization in such cases may be determined by information presented on its return. Therefore, the return must be complete, accurate and fully describe the organization?s programs and accomplishments.?

The redesigned form 990 has expanded since its initial rollout in 2008, growing to an 11-page, 11-part document as additional schedules were required. Ms. Schoepp said that, overall, she saw an increasing movement on part of the IRS to gather and disclose more information about nonprofits.

That additional disclosure has meant more work for accountants and organizations during tax season. While many firms will offer a reduced rate to those agencies, the extra time required could still result in greater expense for the tax preparation work, she said.

More nonprofits have been required to fill out the full Form 990 since 2008, as the threshold allowed in filing the more simple 990-EZ has gradually decreased to the current $200,000 in gross receipts and $500,000 in assets.

Additionally, disclosures required for non-profit hospitals was expanded in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, entailing detailed disclosure of facilities and other information in the 2011 tax year. Those requirements will continue to expand, including the so-called community health needs assessments that becomes mandatory after March 23, 2012.

To those reviewing the filings, the addition of dozens of new questions requiring written responses has offered an enhanced window into the function of nonprofit organizations, Ms. Schoepp said.

It has also caused many non-profits to reexamine their practices, according to Ms. Burbank.

?They (the IRS) asked questions within the form to get their governing body to look at their policies and procedures,? she said.

Paranormal Analysis In The Former Maternity Hospital Gainsborough

It was Simply Ghost Nights third trip to Chesleigh house who?s history goes back towards the 1800s if this was possessed through the Coronet Mister Hickman- Sausage. The home has already established a chequered past from being Gainsborough maternity hospital to some naughty boys school within the late 1800s too. With this thought i was excited to determine what of the numerous spirits which had passed through its doorways would inter act around although on visitation rights.

Having a full house and also the anticipation high for supernatural contact would we be disappointed in almost any spirit activity and what number of ghostly goings-on would we come across at Chesleigh House. We started having a group vigil within the large room upstairs, naturally we all held hands and attempted spooky connection with sleep issues. We started calling out as well as now in the end time we?ve been doing paranormal research the banging we heard from the walls themselves impressed many of us, the deep banging was more thud like than anything, we eliminated radiator and pipe works, and also the floormats contracting and growing. Everybody within the room agreed the noises were indeed from inside the walls of the detached 1800s building. The tapping?s literally taken care of immediately our calling out which amazed many of us within the room. Simultaneously from the tappings the K2 also responded by going from eco-friendly up to red-colored on our request too.

A few of the group stated to possess been discussed the mind by unseen hands from the field of spirit, also there is sightings of shadow movement within the room adjoining us too. After our initial success within the group vigil then we switched our attentions to developing more compact groups and starting our paranormal analysis of Chesleigh House.

Fortunately for Stuart he started his first vigil within the large room where we?d started we vigil therefore the powers were high and also the spirits well heated up and converse regarding how to contact the ghost predators within the room. First and foremost within the room the audience known as out and unbelievably they heard the noise of springs from the mattress, the noise however moved round the room towards the consternation from the group, for just one moment it might be heard in a single area of the room as well as in another it might be heard in another portion of the room. The audience considered if the noise would be a representation from the noise your bunk beds might have made once the building would be a maternity hospital. The audience attempted an ouija board experiment and conveyed having a former matron from the hospital who when requested it had been her accountable for making noises. The audience also attempted table tipping but alas the table would only rock back and forth and turn very slightly towards the group?s bewilderment.

Up within the class with Rosey who mentioned that inside a table tipping experiment the table strongly shook laterally, and shook strongly without any ones hands up for grabs too, and also to the particular groups amazement the view of a black shadow move within the room also had our brave ghost predators perplexed at that which was happening.

Rosey had the spirit of the former matron from the Victorian boy?s school who stated to possess hit the kids and locked them within the cabinets from the old-fashioned. Although while using Hot dogs box within the more compact school rooms, Stuart requested the audience introducing themselves towards the spirit of the lady within the room who had been watching them, and also to their amazement all of them heard Stuart?s title being known as out of the Hot dogs box. The audience requested questions and took in intently for that solutions which duly came, when the time had come to possess a break the audience requested when the spirit wanted these to leave the area, the term ?No? was clearly heard that was a sobering and humbling moment for that ghost predators.

Although making their method to a vigil within the primary room downstairs with Stuart, three ghost predators swore they saw the ghostly silhouette of the guy walk-through an area after which disappear into nothing. It was only some of the sighting of the dark mysterious shadow from the evening for a lot of a ghost hunter stated to possess seen some dark forms relocating the shadows.

Jo pointed out some really exciting K2 work within the upstairs rooms within this large building, Jo mentioned the K2 spiked on calling out for interference around the K2. Coincidentally Jo reported hearing exactly the same spring mattress like noises within the same room Stuarts group had heard them earlier in case.

Because the event came to some close but again i was beaten through the clock we considered what we should had been sent it had been undeniably proof of spirit communication. Once we stated our bon voyages to the ghost predators and also to the spirits who still go back to Chesleigh House soon.

Coffee ? From Foods to Drink. ? Finest Gourmet Foods

Oriental - Herbs - Deserts

Writing is publicized via Webpage

Coffee ? From Meals to Drink.The history of the discovery of coffee is rife with speculation. Its transition from meals to beverage is equally open to interpretation and historical variations. Site Early European explorers and botanists thought that Ethiopians chewed raw coffee beans for electrical power after obtaining their grazing goats eating the coffee berry. They would pound the ripened coffee berries and mix them with animal excessive fat so they grew to become pasty round pellets. The focus of coffee, extra fat, and protein grew to become a very important source of vitality and sustenance, particularly in the course of lean occasions or all through war.

The coffee cherries ended up also most likely eaten raw because the pulp is sweet and has the added benefit of caffeine. Early information even indicate that coffee cherries were applied to make wine. Its potential that coffee was treated as meals in Arabia as very well. Only later on did the early Arabs use it as a drink. Records indicate that the earliest version of coffee as a drink took location by steeping complete coffee hulls in cold h2o.

The hulls ended up then roasted through an open fire, and then boiled all over again in water right up until a pale yellow liquid was made.Other kinds of references you could well look over . . . Click Here

The Six Degrees of Long-Distance Relationships (LDRs) and other ...

?If I feel like God is far away?He?s not the one who moved.?

By?Ashley Mandanici?| Twitter:?@ashleymandanici

Have you ever been in any kind of long-distance relationship? Not just the romantic kind.

I have, and I cannot say I ?rock? at maintaining them, nor do I enjoy the distance.

Here?s a quick glance at how many long-distance relationships (romantic and otherwise) I have had in the past or am currently maintaining:

  • My best friend has been in Indiana for several years completing her Master?s degree.
  • I was in a rather serious relationship with a gentleman caller for about two years (on again, off again, courtesy of our long distance situation).
  • I have just one family member who lives within a healthy proximity to me. Otherwise, my brother, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins span from Kelowna to California to Ohio.
  • Finally, as much as I enjoy the cultural diversity of my social group, I have dear friends scattered like dandelion seeds across countries and continents.

Needless to say, phone calls, text messages, e-mails, Skype dates, Facebook and Facetime have all become rather dear to me. But I find even with all of these modes of communication, I am still left with a devastating amount of space between us that, despite my best efforts, words cannot fill.

Six Degrees of (Long-Distance) Separation

I have noticed that whether it?s a boyfriend, a friend or a family member, the emotions that accompany a long-distance relationship are often similar. The following is a list of emotions I have experienced whilst engaged in a Long-Distance Relationship or ?LDR?:

  • ?Anticipation/ Excitement: This emotion is typical when the times I have seen or heard from the person supersede the time we have been apart.

  • Frustration: Frustration rears its ugly head after enough time has passed so I know the other person surely has a new story or anecdote to share, but I have yet to hear about it.

  • Denial: ?Possibly spurred on by things like Destiny?s Child songs about women and their independence, at this stage in the LDR a reassurance falls over me that I need no one!

  • Hopelessness: When the times we have been apart supersedes the time in which we have been together, I begin doubting the validity of my relationship.

  • Anger: Perhaps my LDR updated her Facebook status and didn?t as much as poke me. Or maybe he had a whole day off and did not make any effort to call. Whether my reasoning is justified or completely unwarranted, feelings of anger in a long-distance relationship are undeniable.

  • Joy: The very sound of his voice brings a tidal wave of relief and all the emotions you once felt, are swept away with pure joy.

[ Lather, rinse, and repeat.]

Regardless of the different kinds of long distance relationships we may experience, I?m sure this truth remains: Being devoted to someone we cannot see, is hard.

Degrees of separation with God

?Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.? ~Kahlil Gibran

As I looked at this list of LDR-related emotions, I began to draw some parallels between my human long-distance relationships and my relationship with God. I realized that just as I have felt all of the six (long distance) degrees of separation with my friends, family and romances; I have also felt these emotions towards God. The anticipation and excitement as I wait on His call, the denial in thinking I don?t need Him, the hopelessness I feel when I don?t hear His voice, the anger when everyone else gets a ?poke? but me, and the sheer joy of finally hearing His voice.

But in all of the parallels I have drawn, I discovered one major contrast: With God, absence doesn?t make the heart grow fonder; it makes my heart grow further.

?Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you.? James 4:8 (NIV)

God isn?t awkwardly fumbling around trying to maintain seven billion long-distance relationships?on the contrary,?we are the ones who choose how close our relationship with God will be. Which reminds me that if I feel like God is far away?He?s not the one who moved.

?I will never leave you; I will never forget you.? Hebrews 13:5 (International Children?s Version)

_____________________________

How about you:

  • How many long-distance relationships are you maintaining?
  • What feelings do you struggle with in LDRs with people?
  • Have you ever felt distanced from God and why?
  • Do you believe that closeness in our relationship with God can be influenced by our own initiative?

Considering a Long Distance Rep Relationship? Here are 5 ways to ...

? Andy Anderson - www.andyandersonphoto.com

Our latest contribution to?Agency Access???blog?The Lab?is posting today. ?It offers advise for photographers considering partnering with an agent that lives in a different city. ? Be sure to?link to the blog?directly to read answers from industry experts on many more questions.

Question: How important is it that I live near my rep? How can I acquire a rep in a major commercial city if I live in a small town?

Years ago, I would have said it?s very important to live near your rep and even more important that you live in a major commercial city. But nowadays, I wouldn?t say that at all. The world has become a small enough place that it doesn?t matter where you live.

We represent photographers in Idaho, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Rhode Island ? all of whom are as busy as the ones we represent in San Francisco. We don?t talk to them any less because they?re in a different time zone. Some may even joke that we see them more because they travel to San Francisco often on shoots.

While proximity is always nice, here are some tips to help you have a successful long-distance agent relationship:

Invest in Good Photo Management Software

Programs such as iPhoto, Aperture or Light Box work nicely. While it would be nice to spend the day at a studio reviewing images and choosing the order for the website or portfolio, we can now do all of this online. It?s much easier for us to review work with photo management software than to sift through boxes of images. You and your agent can create websites of potential images and website or portfolio orders/flows to review and share the links via email. We do this with everyone in our group ? even the local photographers.

Know When to Pick up the Phone

We all fall victim to emailing instead of talking, even when we?re sitting at the desk right next to someone! So, be extra careful not to just rely on email when you have something to discuss. Consider Skype or FaceTime for bigger meetings and phone calls for smaller day-to-day discussions.

Be Willing to Jump on a Plane

There?s nothing like a face-to-face meeting every once in a while. So much of the photographer/agent relationship is about friendship and trust that seeing each other in person is always a plus. Consider meeting your agent on a trip he or she is taking to show portfolios. Or, schedule some extra time during a shoot in their city. Invite them to come to you to see you in your own environment. The most solid relationships always make time for an in-person meeting.

As for acquiring a rep in a major commercial city when you live in a small town, in addition to being open to the above tips, I would add the following:

Own Your Backyard

If you?re just starting out and are fortunate enough to live in an area that has clients for you to target, you need to make sure you make a name for yourself in that market. If you?re not able to do this in a smaller market, you may not be able to do so in a larger one. You may very well outgrow your backyard, but you will have built invaluable experience and made important connections that you may not have been able to do as quickly if you had started in a larger city.

Grow Beyond Your Region

So many photographers make the mistake of limiting their photography to what inspires them locally. Since the light, the talent and the locations all begin to take on a similar energy, the work has a tendency to feel regional. It?s important to expand your vision beyond your backyard and seek out new locations, new talent, new light and new influences. If Andy Anderson just photographed what was interesting to him in Idaho, we would no doubt be impressed, but would be hard-pressed to get him work.

On a Final Note

Regardless of where you and your agent live, the most effective agent/photographer relationships are based on strong communication and mutual respect. If you work just as hard at talking as you do at listening, no physical distance can stand in the way of your shared success.
