As of September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $62 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, and remains well funded for its 2012 plans to 1) commence a feasibility level study on the RRGP; 2) continue growing the existing resource through exploration; 3) conduct a condemnation program in areas identified for potential mine facilities; and 4) continue regional exploration. The RRGP is very well located in northwestern Ontario, near the U.S. border. It is accessed by a network of roads and is close to hydro-electric infrastructure.

The ISI staff were top notch instructors. I would recommend them to teach the entire Armed Forces and I mean this sincerely, the training was very informative and it really helped our paratroopers to become better warriors. I hope that every military unit gets a chance to be taught by these silent professionals of ISI.
MSG, NCOIC ABN Leaders, 82nd ABN Division
This physically and mentally demanding course focuses on upgrading team assault and special operations tactics in high risk zones and hostile environments. The unit will learn tools and techniques to deal with the variety of daily threats and attacks encountered in war zones. The course will include handling worst case scenarios and eliminating the non-essential to increase the probability of survival in hostile arenas. Our instructors bring fast-paced training based on years of combat experience.

I'm new to PyQt and I have to work on an application which use it. For the moment, I don't have any problem, but I'm stuck on something. I have to create a "ComboBox with its items checkable, like a CheckBox". This ComboBox should contain many image format, like "jpg", "exr" or "tga", and I will have to pick up the text of the checked option and put it in a variable. The problem is that I can't find a thing about making items checkable using a ComboBox (if you know how to, It would gladly help me !)
Since I can't do it with a ComboBox, maybe I can do it with a QList I thought, but I can't find anything either which is understandable for a beginner like me. I have read stuff about flags and "Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable" but I don't know how to use it in a easy way :(
Can you help me ? Thanks !

Payment information is on the application form. Payments can also be made via PayPal or a credit card below:
When applying for membership you have the option of upgrading your softcover Daguerreian Annual to a hardcover edition for an additional $30 (one upgrade per membership, please):
Can I Join Late in the Year? Memberships run from January to January. If you join late in the year it's best to join as that year's member. You'll receive the Quarterlies already published up to that time as well as any remaining but, what's most important, you'll also receive that year's Annual and we pay the shipping.
So, for little more than the cost of the Annual alone, you get all of the Quarterlies as well as the Membership Directory. Be forewarned that, if you join as we suggest, you will get a bill in February or March for the next year's dues but once that's paid you'll be in step with all of the other members. The way we look at it, the 300-page Annuals are worth the cost of dues by themselves and the Quarterlies and Membership Directory are nice "extras".
To receive a Membership Packet: Send us your mailing address and we will send you the most recent Quarterly along with an Information Packet which contains a Membership Brochure and information on the books that we publish. The Membership Brochure has a tear-off form that can be filled out and returned with payment.
The Daguerreian Society is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

write the editor
Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
John Becker.
The glbtq television newsmagazine In the Life has profiled activist John Becker, who went undercover in 2011 to investigate reparative therapy at the Bachmann Clinic. The profile offers an inspiring portrait of a young activist while also detailing the important work of Wayne Besen and his organization Truth Wins Out in combating the harmful effects of the "ex- gay" myth.
Truth Wins Out is a non-profit organization that fights anti-gay religious extremism. It monitors anti-glbtq organizations, documents their lies, and exposes their leaders as charlatans. Its goal is to create a world where LGBT individuals can live openly, honestly, and true to themselves.
Truth Wins Out was founded in 2006 by Wayne Besen, author of Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth (2003). Prior to founding TWO, Besen served as a spokesperson for five years with the Human Rights Campaign.
Visit Truth Wins Out here.
In July 2011, as Representative Michelle Bachmann rose in the polls as a Republican presidential candidate, TWO sent John Becker undercover to test the widely-circulated rumors that her husband Marcus Bachmann's psychological clinic practiced reparative therapy. Becker presented himself as a patient seeking conversion therapy at Bachmann & Associates in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The video below reports on the undercover operation.
The In the Life profile, however, goes beyond the undercover operation to offer a moving portrait of Becker himself and why he is motivated to pursue his activism.

I'm pretty stumped here... I've got what I believe to be a really simple collection that I'm mapping using FluentNHibernate's HasMany function and while all the children's explicitly set properties are saving, the foreign key value is not. Here are my classes and mappings (with extraneous data removed):
Public Class OrderForm
Private _sections As ICollection(Of OrderSection)
Public Sub New()
_sections = New List(Of OrderSection)
End Sub
Public Overridable Property Id As Integer
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Sections As ICollection(Of OrderSection)
Return _sections
End Get
End Property
End Class
Public Class OrderSection
Public Overridable Property Id As Integer
Public Overridable Property Name As String
End Class
My mapping looks like this:
Public Class OrderFormMapping
Inherits ClassMap(Of OrderForm)
Public Sub New()
Id(Function(x) x.Id).GeneratedBy.HiLo("hibernate_unique_key", "Forms_OrderForm", 1000)
HasMany(Function(x) x.Sections).KeyColumn("OrderFormId").Access.CamelCaseField(Prefix.Underscore).Cascade.AllDeleteOrphan()
End Sub
End Class
Public Class OrderSectionMapping
Inherits ClassMap(Of OrderSection)
Public Sub New()
Id(Function(x) x.Id).GeneratedBy.HiLo("hibernate_unique_key", "Forms_OrderForm_Sections", 1000)
Map(Function(x) x.Name)
End Sub
End Class
The foreign key in the Forms_OrderForm_Sections allows nulls because I know that NHibernate likes to create the row and then set the foreign key later.
The thing is, I have another project that uses, from what I can tell, the same collection definitions and mapping and it works just fine. That project uses SQL's Identity feature for Ids and I think is using the previous version of FluentNHibernate.
The above classes and mappings are using NHibernate 3.1 and FluentNHibernate 1.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Peabody Sisters: Three Women Who Ignited American Romanticismby Megan Marshall
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Elizabeth, Mary, and Sophia Peabody were in many ways our American Brontes. The story of these remarkable sisters andmdash; and their central role in shaping the thinking of their day and#8212; has never before been fully told. Twenty years in the making, Megan Marshall's monumental biograpy brings the era of creative ferment known as American Romanticism to new life. Elizabeth, the oldest sister, was a mind-on-fire thinker. A powerful influence on the great writers of the era and#8212; Emerson, Hawthorne, and Thoreau among them and#8212; she also published some of their earliest works. It was Elizabeth who prodded these newly minted Transcendentalists away from Emerson's individualism and toward a greater connection to others. Mary was a determined and passionate reformer who finally found her soul mate in the great educator Horace Mann. The frail Sophia was a painter who won the admiration of the preeminent society artists of the day. She married Nathaniel Hawthorne and#8212; but not before Hawthorne threw the delicate dynamics among the sisters into disarray. Marshall focuses on the moment when the Peabody sisters made their indelible mark on history. Her unprecedented research into these lives uncovered thousands of letters never read before as well as other previously unmined original sources. The Peabody Sisters casts new light on a legendary American era. Its publication is destined to become an event in American biography.
This book is highly recommended for students and reading groups interested in American history, American literature, and women's studies. It is a wonderful look into 19th-century life.
Fascinating, insightful, and wholly engrossing, The Peabody Sisters is a landmark biography of three women who made American intellectual history.Though theirs may not be household names, Elizabeth, Mary, and Sophia Peabody had an extraordinary influence on the thought of their day, the movement of intense creative ferment known as American Romanticism. Megan Marshall adeptly brings to life the sisters and the men they loved and inspired, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Mann, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. In a work filled with startling revelations, Marshall presents a vivid and nuanced psychological portrait of a sisterhood rife with shifting loyalties yet founded on enduring affection.
Twenty years in the making and greeted by stunning reviews, The Peabody Sisters is a landmark biography of three women who made American intellectual history.
The story of the Peabody sisters and their central role in shaping the thought of their day is a piece of history that has never before been fully told. Megan Marshall's masterly and vivid work brings the sisters—our American Brontës—to life, along with the men they loved and influenced, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Mann, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Marshall casts new light on a legendary American era in an epic tale with the scope and fascination of the great nineteenth-century novels.
Elizabeth, Mary, and Sophia Peabody were in many ways the "American Brontes." The story of these remarkable sisters--and their central role in shaping the thinking of their day--is told in Marshall's monumental biography.

Ok, I get that everyone hates Chris Christie, and I totally understand why. But can we stick to attacking his policies and political history and leave his weight alone? There's more than enough to hate about him without resorting to body shaming.

idk if yall have seen this but im laughing harder than i should be
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed into law on Thursday legislation that critics say sells out the state's water supply and democratic process for private profits.
The Water Infrastructure Protection Act, which purportedly aims to address aging infrastructure , allows for fast-tracking of sales of municipal water systems to private entities.
Among the sponsors of the measure, which passed the state legislature in December, was Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-Monmouth), who stated Thursday: "We recognize that there are times when private entities might be most capable of operating, maintaining and upgrading drinking water and sanitary wastewater systems," and keeps "the public's ability to be part of the process."
Quite the opposite, according to the law's critics.
"Governor Christie has sided with private water companies over our water supply," stated Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. "This law will raise rates, hurt consumers and businesses."
Sometimes a false narrative enters the mainstream conversation, is demonstrated to be false, and it vanishes from the mainstream conversation. But it does not retreat entirely. Many times these false narratives find a place in a tribe's echo chamber, being repeated and circulated among one group of people who are still convinced the false narrative is true, providing increasingly desperate rationalizations for why the false narrative is being ignored by the mainstream.
Sometimes these false narratives are potent, explaining why they are held on to so viciously. President Obama directing terrorists to attack the Benghazi embassy (or whatever it is conservatives think he did), for example.
Other times these false narratives are mild or powerless, and one wonders why anyone would hold on to them. The idea that Ben Carson or Carly Fiorina are viable presidential candidates, for example.
I mean, I know why people like Henry Payne mention them in the same breath as Christie, Cruz or even Bobby Jindal (you know, people who are actual politicians and know how to campaign successfully). It's because Republicans are so eager to be able to say 'We got us a black guy' or 'We got us a woman,' because even a fig leaf of protection against the claim of racism or sexism being endemic in the party is better than nothing.
But the narrative, the idea that Carson or Fiorina are, as candidates, legitimate in the sense of having a shot at winning even just a single primary, is completely false. It is so utterly wrong that I have trouble believing that Payne believes it, but what is the alternative? That he thinks the rest of us are foolish enough to believe Carson or Fiorina's candidacies are worth anything?
New Jersey Governor and GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie made a bold decision today, using a speech at Iowa State University to declare that the idea of debt-free college is morally "wrong," Politico's Allie Grasgreen reports.
Christie introduced the idea by harkening back to his father, a Army veteran who attended Rutgers thanks to the G.I. Bill, and said that if he became president he would install "a system where we all need to take personal responsibility to grasp the opportunities in higher education, but also one where we can get a leg up when we need it."
Could he have chosen an audience less likely to be receptive to his message than college students?
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie announced his presidential bid today, using the slogan "telling it like it is." OK, Christie. Let's tell it like it is: While you've been busy pandering to the far right, the women of New Jersey have been paying the price.#NotMyCandidate
See where all the presidential contenders stand: http://www.womenarewatching.org/champ-chump-chart.
According to New Jersey Watchdog, an Internet transparency group ran by Mark Lagerkvist, Chris Christie has spent $360,000 of his taxpayer-subsidized expense account over the last five years. Of that amount, $300,000 was used to purchase what the state budget describes as "an allowance of funds not otherwise appropriated and used for official receptions on behalf of the state, the operation of an official residence, for other expenses."
As the Newark Star-Ledger reported last year, nearly one-third of the federal house aid money allocated to Hurricane Sandy victims went to areas of New Jersey that weren't particularly impacted by the storm. "Nearly a third of the money—$47.6 million, earmarked for new affordable housing projects—landed in Essex and Middlesex counties," wrote Ted Sherman, "while many hard-hit Jersey Shore communities in Ocean saw relatively little of it."
Only a few months after taking office, Christie killed an $8.7 billion transportation project known as the ARC Tunnel, which was already in development when Christie took office (and, indeed, had been development for 30 years) and aimed to clear congestion by providing commuters with a public train under the Hudson River connecting New Jersey to New York City.
Since taking office, the Christie administration has moved the retirement savings of public workers like teachers, firefighters, and police officers over to private financial firms on Wall Street, as Salon reported last week. "While Christie says the pension system cannot afford to maintain current retirement benefits, pension fees paid to financial firms have quadrupled to $600 million a year," writes David Sirota, "or $1.5 billion in total since he took office in 2010."
While it isn't illegal to veto legislation that is necessary for the maintenance of the public trust, it is certainly scandalous—especially for a politician who, like Christie, has presented himself as an advocate of reforms that would clean up the state government.
…and I didn't even notice these were the Republican candidates from 2012…
…Cuz like all rich white guys look alike to me.
New studies by Harvard and Dartmouth Universities have concluded that the SSA's trust funds will be depleted by 2033.
From CNBC:
The Social Security Administration projects that its trust funds will be depleted by 2033—not an optimistic forecast. But it may be even bleaker than that.
New studies from Harvard and Dartmouth researchers find that the SSA's actuarial forecasts have been consistently overstating the financial health of the program's trust funds since 2000.
"These biases are getting bigger and they are substantial," said Gary King, co-author of the studies and director of Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science. "[Social Security] is going to be insolvent before everyone thinks."
The Social Security and Medicare Trustees' 2014 report to Congress last year found trust fund reserves for both its combined retirement and disability programs will grow until 2019. Program costs are projected to exceed income in 2020 and the trust funds will be depleted by 2033 if Congress doesn't act. Once the trust funds are drained, annual revenues from payroll tax would be projected to cover only three-quarters of scheduled Social Security benefits through 2088.
"…have been consistently overstating"
When I lie to the government about how much money I have, they call it "perjury" and I go to jail. When the government lies to me, they call it "overstating" and nothing happens.
And by how much have they been "consistently overstating" it? About $1 trillion. Look, even if you love love love all things government and support the current social security system, this should make you angry. If it doesn't, ask yourself why. They've been lying to you.
Look, something's got to give when it comes to Social Security. It's simple math. It simply cannot continue on its current trajectory and remain solvent. Of course, the only real solution is to stop forcing people to pay into an inefficient, bloated, flailing government program and instead allow them to privately invest their money as they see fit. But very few politicians would ever agree to that. It would give them less power.
So what are the "solutions" being thrown around at the beginning of this election cycle? Let's examine one from prominent "Republican" Chris Christie:
In other words, we'll soak the rich. We'll redistribute the money. We'll tell all the people who have paid into Social Security (in many cases against their will) over decades that they won't be getting that money back, in spite of the "lock box" promises, etc. From what I hear, Hillary Clinton's "solution" (for the purposes of getting elected, of course) is to scoff at the notion that there's anything wrong and hit Christie for wanting to take money from little old grandmas. Sheesh. Politicians have ruined this country.

Debuting at No. 1, Dave Matthews Band's fourth album opens with the rocking "I Did It," and keeps the tempo faster and the mood darker than usual with "When the World Ends." "The Space Between" was their first Top 40 hit, followed by "Everyday." There's a good chance, however, real fans can tell you the exact date and location the album's non-singles were last played live -- DMB's followers have a Dead-level dedication.

I read an interesting article several days ago by Nick Kishfy of @mojotech. His thesis was that using "buttons to nowhere' allows his team to gauge interest in advance for prospective features by tracking user engagement with temporarily-unavailable interface elements. Upon clicking an unavailable feature, the user would come across a fun little notification like this.
In my interpretation, I've slightly edited the copy, retaining the 'emotional' design. I've also implemented a caution-banner pattern as opposed to an air-mail pattern.
'Buttons to nowhere' could be seen as distracting or hypothetically misleading should the feature never get released. Still, I think the benefits outweigh the costs. The user gets to discover upcoming features and developers and designers get to focus on features that will end up getting used. What do you think of the idea of 'buttons to nowhere'?

Media: Fury of a would-be venture Capitalist
Capital Radio's Richard Park may look laid-back but, as the commercial radio industry celebrates its first 25 years, he is a frustrated director of programmes. Why? It's the Byzantine nature of licence regulation and competition with the BBC.bins
Tuesday 06 October 1998
Park's career tells the story of the successful side of the business. In October 1973, when the first commercial radio licences were awarded, he joined Radio Clyde in Scotland as a DJ and sports presenter, and remembers it as a period of liberation. "After years of nothing but the BBC, we could see the desperate need for diversity," he says. While most of commercial radio was practically strangled at birth by over-regulation, Clyde gave a voice to Scottish nationalism, and was so successful that it soon overtook the local BBC stations in listening figures.
In 1987 Park moved to London, where Capital Radio was thriving after a rocky start. He launched Capital Gold in 1988, and has presided over a maturing business, focusing increasingly on a target audience of 15- to-34-year-olds, and on expanding Capital's businesses around the country to make it one of the three big national players along with GWR, which owns Classic FM, and Emap, the owner of London's Kiss 100 and Manchester Piccadilly.
Now, though, as the parties get under way to celebrate the 25-year anniversaries of the business, and of Capital, there is a sense of looking to the future with frustration - of a need for commercial radio to break loose once more if, after coming of age, it is to be allowed to mature.
A glimpse into the in-tray of Richard Park explains why. His priority right now is connected with a radio licence that is up for grabs in the North-east of England around Newcastle, and which will be awarded by the Radio Authority this Friday. Along with 15 others, Capital has put in a bid, and would like to establish "Fun Radio", a station for children aged four to 14, that would include pop music, competitions and phone- ins alongside a remit to make technology fun and to connect the radio to using the Internet.
It's all very sound, and very New Labour with its emphasis on community, science and creativity. But it raises a number of issues. Why is it, for instance, that the BBC, which has nearly half the radio listenership in the country and is financed by a licence fee, not already developing children's radio? Or put another way, why is commercial radio offering a public service that the BBC has failed to satisfy?
Park, like many in the business, is irritated by the relationship between the BBC and commercial radio. The BBC, he says, is concentrating on doing things that the commercial sector could do equally well, like playing pop music on Radio 1. It tries to keep its market share up, for instance by bringing down the age of its target audience for Radio 2; and its success with Radio 5 could make the station a direct competitor to any future development of Talk Radio.
But the fact which most annoys the commercial sector is that, when faced with competition from the BBC, they are not on a level playing field. The BBC has the flexibility to change its stations' remits overnight if it wishes - to make its target audiences older or younger, to switch its music styles or whatever. Commercial radio, though, is hamstrung by strict conditions on licences which can result in tough fines for even minor infringements. Last year Leicester Sound was found to have only 341/2 minutes of speech in a three-hour period, when it was supposed to have 36 minutes. For a 90-second infringement of its licence, the station was fined pounds 5,000. Park reckons the situation is unsustainable, and that "it's not inconceivable that some BBC channels will fall into the commercial domain in the next 10 years" instead of replicating services and splitting audiences.
The North-east raises another thorny issue. The Radio Authority has proved extremely reluctant to award new licences to any of the three big commercial radio companies, and if the past is anything to go by, it will bypass them again on Friday and favour a smaller, local player. The idea is to widen diversity - but the consequences have often been perverse.
Last year, for instance, the authority spurned bigger companies and awarded a London licence to one Chris Parry, who proposed an alternative music channel called XFM. While many liked Parry's choice of music, the station did not make money and looked as if it would fold. After nine months Capital was able to step in and buy it because, despite its complete power in awarding licences, the Radio Authority can block their sale only if the prospective purchasers are seen as "unfit".
Park, understandably, seems, if not bitter, then astounded. "For running a station for nine months and failing, the guy will get pounds 4m," he says, "which is more than I'll ever earn for succeeding in the business. It's not a judgement about him, it's a comment on the system."
The same could happen in Newcastle - a small group of individuals could be awarded the licence, and sell out to Capital within a year. Anyone wanting to make a fast buck should be thinking about applying for a radio licence - it's a far faster route to riches than a lottery ticket.
Both barriers to the expansion of Capital, and the other big players, are part of a bigger debate over the future of commercial radio. The system as it stands puts firm obstacles in the way of consolidating radio companies, and does not allow them to grow as American radio giants have. Unsurprisingly, Park and others would like government to free up the heavy regulation on commercial radio, in its next Broadcasting Bill. Though that would be a "second term" priority for Labour, Chris Smith, the Culture Secretary, seems sympathetic. In a speech to an industry audience in June he said the Government was "committed to regulation with the lightest touch," and his department would "continue to listen to the radio industry and help where we can".
Park argues for the end to a points system that limits the market share of any large company. Each is restricted to 15 per cent of the potential total audience for commercial radio - which sounds reasonable until you realise that a small station like XFM can take up as many of Capital's points as its Capital station, simply because it has the potential to reach as many listeners; never mind that it doesn't in practice.
Also, the system is far more restrictive than television - where the limit on growth is 15 per cent of the total audience, including the BBC. If the BBC were included in the radio calculations, it would practically double the maximum size of Capital and its main competitors.
It's not necessarily that big is good. But everyone recognises that the situation is a mess, with powerful companies anxious to expand but facing illogical limits on their ability to do so.
Capital still has a number of points left, and is in acquisition mode, but a few years down the line it will, like GWR and Emap, be straining at the leash, and desperate for Government to allow commercial radio to approach its half-century anniversary in a less contorted, far freer market- place.
Ups And Downs Of Life In The City
1973: On 16 October Capital and LBC are the first two commercial radio stations to launch in the UK. The omens are not good: it's the middle of the three-day week and a lot of business has halted. The first disc to be spun on the station is "Bridge over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel.
1976: Launch of Help a London Child campaign, and of the Flying Eye, London's first traffic-spotting plane. But the early years are a struggle, and the station relies on cash injections from investors such as The Observer, and at one stage chairman Richard Attenborough (above, left) pawns a Degas painting to pay wages.
1979: 1 April - Capital's Sunday Soapbox features John Irving from Golders Green, who declares that the Government has axed the next two Thursdays. Most listeners are not fooled, but a Middle Eastern Airline cancels Thursday flights.
1984: Chris Tarrant (above, right) joins Capital, initially working on the Lunchtime Show, but soon moving to the breakfast slot, where he will eventually wage "the war of the two Chrises" with Chris Evans.
1987: Capital becomes the first radio station to float on the London Stock Exchange.
1990: Capital FM's audience exceeds that of BBC Radio 1 in London for the first time. Its 3 million listeners a week make it the most popular metropolitan radio station in the world.
1996: Capital gets permission to construct a weather station on top of Euston Tower. Gusting winds make readings impossible.
1997: Capital moves from Euston Tower to Leicester Square in the West End.

We planned ahead and made reservations a few months in advance for a standard room. We decided to go before the peak season to get better rates; therefore there were less people, and they had more rooms available.
We stayed for four nights (June 11-14, 2007) and everything was great!
We were lucky because upon checking in, John (the manager) told us that they had many vacant rooms, so he upgraded our room to one of the Ocean View rooms free of charge!
The room was always kept clean and we had more than enough towels. The refrigerator was nice to keep cold drinks handy. The room also featured a new, bigger TV, with a nice selection of channels to watch. The only downside was each room did not have a telephone, although they did have one available for use (upon request) in the lobby.
In the morning, they had a nice selection of free doughnuts, bagels, and pastries along with coffee for a quick breakfast (much cheaper than eating along the boardwalk!)
Another convenience was a hose on the lower level to wash sand off before going to your room. Also on the lower level was free parking. It was nice having close off-street parking to your room, but the parking spaces were tight together and it was hard to open doors sometimes.
It was nice to have a motel right on the boardwalk, and the shops and beach were only footsteps away.
In conclusion, the Ocean Front Motel was a great place to stay, and you can't beat the price!

Remember Stanley Thornton, the "adult baby" who spends his days wallowing in an oversized crib and soiling his diapers on the taxpayers' dime, and who threatened to kill himself if Big Government cuts off the flow of other people's money? Convict Ophelia De'lonta has issued a still more disturbing threat. The inmate at Buckingham Correctional Center in Dillwyn, Virginia is suing the state to provide him with a sexual mutilation procedure at public expense. He says if he doesn't get his way, he'll keep trying to castrate himself:
Ophelia De'lonta, 50, says she [sic] needs the surgery to treat her [sic] gender identity disorder, a condition in which people believe they were born the wrong gender.
"This is not something that I have any control over," said De'lonta, who was born Michael Stokes. "This is just how I was born."
How encouraging that a transsexual can accept the way he was born. But admitting to his own chromosomes is too radical a step toward embracing reality.
De'lonta, who developed breasts with the use of hormones won under a 2004 court order, has tried self-surgery several times in the past. Her [sic] urges had been kept in check in recent years with the help of hormones and other treatments.
But De'lonta, who has perfectly plucked eyebrows and wears make-up, snapped on Oct. 8 when a jail guard at the all-male Buckingham Correctional Center referred to her [sic] as "he."
"I screamed 'She, dammit!' becoming so overwhelmed it was hard to breathe," said De'lonta, who was sentenced at age 18 to more than 70 years in prison on robbery, drugs and weapons charges.
After crying herself [sic] to sleep, De'lonta papered over her [sic] cell door's window and covered the toilet with towels.
Apparently he did this while sleepwalking.
Then, using the knowledge she [sic] gained from mail-order anatomy books, De'lonta spent three hours trying to cut off what she [sic] refers to as "that thing" between her [sic] legs.
She [sic] eventually passed out — and 21 stitches were needed to repair the damage.
"It's like if this doesn't exist, then I won't have any more problems," De'lonta told the Associated Press.
No trouble is so tall that it can't be cut down to size with a little self-mutilation.
De'lonta said that if her [sic] bid is unsuccessful, she's [sic] likely to try self-surgery yet again — even though it could kill her [sic].
If this poor freak ends up bleeding to death from self-inflicted wounds, the media moonbats who indulge his grotesque delusions by obsequiously calling him "she" ought to be tried for collusion.

They did show TPIR reruns for a few years (even the original 1950s-1960s version with Bill Cullen), but can't get them anymore -- the company that owns TPIR apparently decided having reruns on GSN was detracting from the first-run episodes on CBS.
If they air them at night or on weekends, I don't see why it detracts (except to show that Bob Barker is far superior to Drew Carey). Plus you have so many people not home during the day anyhow to watch it. The show itself, except for the host, is basically the same now as it was in the 70s.
And yes, Jokers Wild would be a great addition. Basically a poor and dumber man's Jeopardy with a slot machine thrown in.

Customer Reviews
Awesome game. Period.
This game is is one of the best I've played in years. It has the best elements of World of Goo combined with the fun challenge of driving the train quickly and smoothly so as not to loose your crates. Great blend of logic and building. Easy trial and error, never gets stale or frustrating... you just want to come back to tweak your bridge to see if you can make a better time, get more crates, or use less parts to hit the achievements.
The game also has a great whimsical style and art, nice music and environmental sounds, and for a dollar is a steal.
Worth More than $.99!
This is just a quality, fun and dare I say insanely addictive take on the bridge builder genre. Highly polished graphics, fun animations and slick UI make Bridgy Jones stand out.
More importantly though the gameplay is well balanced, interesting and varied.
So many elements here "click" to keep this one chugging along quite solidly.
This game is amazing...
But I quickly breezed through it and there hasn't been any new content in the 2 years+ that I've had it! Consequently, tough the physics, interface, and design are all great, and the limited game that exists is a joy to play, the fun evaporates quickly and the app's icon chills on your iPad taunting you with the game's potential awesomeness in the absence of any updates in more than2 years!!

Bush vetoes troop-withdrawal bill
Published: Tuesday, May 1, 2007 at 6:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 1, 2007 at 6:11 p.m.
WASHINGTON -- President Bush vetoed legislation to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq Tuesday night in a historic showdown with Congress over whether the unpopular and costly war should end or escalate.
In only the second veto of his presidency, Bush rejected legislation that would require the first U.S. combat troops to be withdrawn from Iraq by Oct. 1 with a goal of a complete pullout six months later.
He vetoed the bill immediately upon his return to the White House from a visit to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., the headquarters of U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, including Iraq.
He was to comment on television at 6:10 p.m. EDT.
Democrats made a last-minute plea for Bush to sign the bill, knowing their request would be ignored. "The president has put our troops in the middle of a civil war," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "Reality on the ground proves what we all know: A change of course is needed."
Lacking the votes to override the president, Democratic leaders quietly considered what might be included or kept out of their next version of the $124 billion spending bill.
It was a day of high political drama, falling on the fourth anniversary of Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech and his declaration that major combat operations in Iraq had ended. Democrats held an unusual signing ceremony of their own before sending the bill to the White House.
"This legislation respects the wishes of the American people to end the Iraq war," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Bush signed the veto with a pen given to him by Robert Derga, the father of Marine Corps Reserve Cpl. Dustin Derga, who was killed in Iraq on May 8, 2005. The elder Derga spoke with Bush two weeks ago at a meeting the president had with military families at the White House.
Derga asked Bush to promise to use the pen in his veto. On Tuesday, Derga contacted the White House to remind Bush to use the pen, and so he did.
Minutes after Bush vetoed the bill, an anti-war demonstrator stood outside the White House with a bullhorn: "How many more must die? How many more must die?"

5 ways the NDA split hurts Nitish
A senior journalist recalled that Nitish Kumar, during his early days as a politician, had thumped his table during an animated discussion and said he would "one day upset rigid caste calculations to wrest power". Nitish did so successfully in the 2005 assembly polls, with the BJP's support that brought him the votes of the upper castes, non-Yadav OBCs, a large part of Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) and some Dalits, making it a winning combination against Lalu Prasad's Muslim-Yadav (MY) combination.
In 2010, Nitish played up "Lalu's misrule" against his own agenda of development and the NDA got 205 seats in a House of 243. A year earlier, in the 2009 Lok Sabha election, the JD(U)-BJP alliance won 32 seats out of 40.
Five years on, it's all uphill for Nitish Kumar and his party after it split with the BJP.
On Tuesday, when Nitish was asked at a press conference why development, his keyword in 2009 and 2010, has been out of discussion in 2014, the CM struggled for an answer before saying, "It is the BJP and the RJD that have been trying to divert attention from development." In his speeches, Nitish has been cautioning voters about communal tension if the BJP comes to power. Here are five reasons why Nitish may well have lost the plot after the split with the BJP.
Calculations awry
A top JD(U) leader close to Nitish tells The Indian Express,"Had the JD(U) and BJP been together, we would have won 38 seats, forcing Lalu into political oblivion. But our split seems to have made Lalu the BJP's prime rival, rather than the JD(U) that won 20 last time."
Ask any voter in Pataliputra, Ara, Buxar, Gaya and Sasaram about the JD(U)'s chances and the answer is the same. "Maybe third position," says Dharmendra Kumar of Gaya. "Nitish could have easily dominated Bihar politics for another 10 years. Just as Delhi voters are not convinced about the reason for Arvind Kejriwal's resignation, we are not convinced about the JD(U)'s delayed secular turn. Now he will get neither Ram nor Imam."
In 2009, the JD(U) and BJP respectively won 24.04 and 13.97 per cent of the votes. The RJD won 19.31 per cent and the LJP 6.55, sharing four seats, while the Congress fought separately and won 10.26 per cent and two seats. Now with the BJP, the LJP and Upendra Kushawaha's Rashtriya Lok Samata Party on one side and the RJD-Congress on the other, the JD(U) is left with only the CPI to challenge the larger caste blocks.
