The Sigma 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM II: A new stabilized super-zoomThursday February 23 2012
Sigma announced its 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM II lens at the beginning of October 2011. While there's not much new in terms of its specs compared to the previous version (the Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS —see 18-200mm DxOMark reviews), the publication of its measurement results gives us the chance to take stock of all the Sigma offerings for this lens type.
This 18-200 mm lens, designed for APS-C-format cameras, retains the previous version's stabilization feature and in addition offers HSM (hypersonic motor) for all possible camera mounts — Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma, and Sony. (Previously only the Nikon mount benefited from this feature.) Further, its optics formula now includes two new low-dispersion (FLD) glass elements to better handle chromatic aberrations. (We'll see what kind of an impact these glass elements have.)
We regreat that the even at its widest aperture, this simply isn't a bright lens at f/6.3. But the camera does come with a petal-style hood that allows the use of circular polarizing filters.
What effort has Sigma put into ergonomics? And what about the image quality of this new version? We will try to answer these questions and more below.
Further readings for the The Sigma 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM II: A new stabilized super-zoom
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Sigma announced this new version of its very large focal range zoom at the beginning of October 2011. Let's see how this new version compares with its predecessors and competitors.
Not too long ago, people assumed that choosing a micro 4/3 camera was the same thing as choosing a more versatile compact camera. Then the happy owners would start thinking about getting a zoom lens for this small camera and discover that… the zooms were nowhere near as compact as their camera. What they ended up with was not as pocketable as they hoped, but unfortunately, there are scientific optical laws that can't be changed. The lenses tested here are good examples of just how compact lenses with large focal ranges can be.
After the Tamron 18-270mm and Sigma 18-250mm reviews, the DxOmark team offers you a series of short reviews for the 18-200mm lenses tested on our website:
For summer 2011, DxOMark delivers its super-zoom, all-in-one selection for Canon and Nikon.


text: Have you registered for an exam date that is no longer going to work with your schedule? Don't panic. If you do need to change your exam date, we will allow you to reschedule your ACE exam up until 11:59pm PT the night before via the ACE website. Just log into your ACE account and select My Exam Information. Once you are able to see your current scheduled exam, select Reschedule Exam Date to proceed with the rescheduling process. Be sure to go through the entire process — including check-out — and make sure you receive a new confirmation notification. If you would prefer to speak with an Exam Registration Representative directly, please don't hesitate to call M-F 8am-5pm PT 1-800-825-3636 ext. 783 prior to your scheduled exam date for assistance. Keep in mind that there is a rescheduling fee of $149.00 to change the date of your exam whether your choice is to sit for an earlier exam date or a future date. The reason for the additional fee is that ACE will be billed by our testing agency whether you actually sit for your exam or not, so the fees assessed to ACE have to be covered. These fees are not profits going towards ACE, but instead are true costs to cover exam administrations, and associated ACE exam development fees. Well…. I guess I could make my exam date work. The truth is I just don't feel ready. If you fall into the 'I'm not ready' category, why not take the exam on your scheduled day anyway? You are probably more ready than you think! Also, by taking the exam on your scheduled date you will have access to a detailed score report in your ACE account once scores post. If you are not successful on the exam, this report can provide you detailed information about what areas you definitely know and what areas you may want to review. Unfortunately, you won't receive this valuable information if you reschedule due to 'nerves' and who knows, maybe you'll pass the exam with flying colors! I've changed my mind all together and do not want to pursue an ACE Certification. Can I get a refund? If you did not purchase your exam using an exam voucher and your exam date is still outside of 30 days, ACE will be able to provide you with a 50% refund of the exam fee paid. (Refunds cannot be given for exams that have been rescheduled.) If you would like to cancel your ACE exam and request a refund, please call the ACE Exam Registration Department at 1-800-825-3636 ext. 783. Cancellation requests can only be made by the named candidate on the registration.

Property show fans know that building projects often overrun, but Antoni Gaudí is the king of late delivery. His Gothic monument the Sagrada Família—on which he started work in 1883—will not be finished until 2026, 100 years after his death. Draw up a blueprint for a memorable Escape to another of Barcelona's architectural wonders: the five-star Hesperia Tower.
Claim a plot between the 16th and 20th floors of this stunning modernist tower that stretches 107 meters into the air, and enjoy bright and contemporary guest rooms that feature marble-clad bathrooms, state-of-the-art furniture, and ambient lighting.
Whether it's beach-luxuriating or city-exploring, Barcelona offers it all, and transfers to the city keep you from being bricked in. A ramble down Las Ramblas amongst street artists takes you to Boqueria market for gourmet foodie treats, while the Sagrada Família's exquisite and surreal design provides cultural nourishment. Later, take the famous sweeping stairs up to Park Güell—something Gaudí did manage to finish.
Once you've absorbed the daringly modern interior of this remarkable hotel, a buffet breakfast each morning lays the foundations for a day in the Catalan capital—the 'Antiox' philosophy means healthy, fresh options are abundant. Between lively side-street tapas bars, gourmet delis, and world-renowned eateries, Barcelona has a feast of culinary options.
Transfers from hotel to airport and from the hotel to the city center are included subject to schedule and availability.

This chick has most likely been around the block more times that Kimmy Poo and their mother, combined. She is the most disgusting in that entire family and they're all pretty gross. But this one… she is just fugly ugly. Aside from her injected butt and major photoshopping, her blowfish lips make her look like a man. Just gross.

Are all of these comments from the same person? I have never seen spelling so bad, it's as of there is a new "English" language and wow, it is stupid. Not to put too fine a point on it.
"Is Rob Kardashian died" – that is a QUESTION, not a statement, and you asked "is" (which means currently) and "died". Died is past tense and why would you even… ugh. No Rob is alive, he has not died. Apparently he is depressed about keeping up with what the heck ever it is that this family deems to have value.
OK, my question. Where is Khloe in the photo? I see Kylie talking the (how are they not tired of looking at themselves?) yet another selfie and some bleached blonde person. And Khloe does, imho, seem very nurturing. Not compared to your average normal lady but in that family? She is fine.

Sophisticated? No. That is not the correct word at all. Trendy, over-the-top? Yeah. But sophistication is classy, timeless and elegant. Also mature without being stodgy. I don't dislike Ms K but none of these tight outfits in the photo after photo after photo is sophisticated. Google GRACE KELLY. Or Audrey Hepburn. They were sophisticated every day.
No clue what you mean by "curles". That's not a word.

I think Khloe is a saint because she always has to be the meat in between the sandwich for Scott and Kourtney. Her sisters are so selfish but I do like that they are all so supportive of each other even though I think khloe has the worst time.I do think kim is attractive and cause she handles her style so well she is upbeat but I do hate how they are all so spoilt.

Finally took the plunge, started 08/05/12
Just like so many people have mentioned, I can get through the first five modules pretty easy (learning backtrack, learning some BASH/python, port scanning, enumeration, etc..)but from module six and on, I know I will have to do A LOT of outside research...which I'm completely fine with. I'm not going to lie, going through the buffer overflow section for the first time was like reading Japanese.
The further I get into the Lab pdf, the more I feel a little overwhelmed. I kind of wish OffSec would give you the choice of going through the PDF and Video's for a week or two, then starting the lab time. The material is totally worth it but I can't help but think I'm losing money by reading, researching, and watching video's..rather than messing with the lab.
My personal goal is to get everything done within 60 lab days and take the test some time after that.
Well I better get back to the pdf. Any comments are welcomed.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Buddhism began to take root in the West at just the same time that women's voices were arising to find expression here—after millennia of being relegated to the background.

Christian Thompson creates art expressive of a continuing relationship to his people, country and culture. Subtle and sometimes more explicit references to the land and heritage of his community, the Bidjara people of the Kunja Nation from south-west Queensland, present themselves in the artist's multidisciplinary practice.
His photographic series Gates of Tambo 2004 refers in its title to two bottle trees ('the gates of Tambo'), planted by Thompson's great-uncle outside the town of Tambo, north-west of Brisbane. Thompson's photographs afford viewers insight in ways that a young Indigenous Australian artist positions and defines himself within the world, and the various art worlds, in the early twenty-first century. Through impersonations of, variously, Indigenous artists Rusty Peters, Tracey Moffatt and the Woman from Peppimenarti, plus Andy Warhol, Thompson deconstructs the amalgam making up his identity.
In this work the artist underlines that he sees himself as both the young man behind a laptop in Melbourne, with a keen interest in 1980s fashion and pop culture, and the Aboriginal artist in remote Australia documenting his country and traditions. The ease with which Thompson transforms into the other Indigenous practitioners challenges us to question the distinction made between Indigenous peoples living in different parts of Australia. The Gates of Tambo photographs also initiate an intergenerational dialogue between Thompson and the individuals whose characters he assumes. Exploring the ways in which his art relates to works made by well-established practitioners such as Peters and Moffatt, this younger artist pays homage to those who inspire him and also firmly situates his practice within recent Indigenous art histories. At the same time the image of Andy Warhol, celebrated international symbol of pop art, forms the key to Thompson's desire for himself and other Aboriginal artists to be part of global discourses on art making.
Whilst exploring his Indigenous heritage, Thompson's work engages with topics that affect and move both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, transcending cultural boundaries.
Marianne Riphagen, 'Christian Thompson', in Culture Warriors: National Indigenous Art Triennial, exhibition catalogue, Canberra: National Gallery of Australia, 2007, p.164.

So I woke up this morning and as I'm about to get in the shower, I feel the need to cough. After I cough I feel a lump in my mouth and so I spit it out and a Snot Rock comes flying out.

This is where from being in a dusty area, you form small rocks in your nose from the collected dust. They look similar to popping rocks.

They were part of the decoration of two rooms in his house in Holland Park, London. Illustrating no particular story, these panels are full of fancy and convey an overwhelming sense of luxury.

An extra shower later in day to clean the explosive-fart debris off of your butt-hole. (occurs after overtime and double overtime)
Damn jigga, I had to take a second shower later on to clean to my manure mosh pit. The excessive wiping in overtime, and scrubbing in my double overtime shower... well, it just wasn't enough to ward off a late day triple overtime effort."

History and Brotherly Love in Philly
Sonesta Hotel Philadelphia • Philadelphia, PA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Superior Room
- Overnight Parking
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Three Nights
The Destination
South Philly claims its beloved marble-mouthed boxer and Old City cornered the market on historical dudes, but the heartbeat of Philadelphia pulses in Center City. Bookended by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the old Wanamaker building, Center City is packed with great shopping and even better food and brews. Daily organ concerts in the fabulous old Wanamaker Building (now Macy's) are fun freebies.
The Digs
The Sonesta Hotel Philadelphia puts you in the heart of the downtown neighborhood near Rittenhouse Square. Like the statue of Billy Penn perched atop the historic old City Hall building next door, you can roost in comfort in one of the the hotel's 445 rooms. You'll have access to complimentary high-speed Internet in your cushy digs, and best of all, the Sonesta receives top marks for its staff's hospitality—remember, this is the City of Brotherly Love.
The Diversions
If you're a history buff, don your three-cornered hat and turn right when you leave the front door—all of historic Philadelphia is waiting for you in Old City. The Liberty Bell and Independence Hall bear witness to the important role Philly played in history, but if you really want an important roll, don't leave town without a hoagie stuffed with slivers of steak and topped with cheese whiz. You can work it off with a trip to the opposite end of the city, where changing exhibitions bolster a robust permanent collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
"The hotel is in a fantastic location within walking distance of restaurants, businesses, shops, and attractions. Although you didn't need to go far for great food and drink—Elephant and Castle pub was great!"-- TripAdvisor

Hey all, looking for learning advice
Anyhow, a bit of background info:
From as far back as I can remember, I've always had a fascination with technology and how things work especially computers. While I was good with them from a young age, it never really truly took form until I was 14 and my mum got the first family PC. Within the first six months of tinkering, finding my way around problems, I was already at the stage where I was the unofficial computer guy at school helping teachers fix classroom PCs, sorting out software problems etc. I had always has a fascination with hackers and was one of the first things I started researching when my mum got the internet.. it wasn't long before I was messing around with Trojans doing things I shouldn't be. I never really took it any further as I didn't really have the time alongside my other interests but I was satisfied with impressing my friends.
Once I finished school at 16, I was able to get my first job almost straight away as a Junior Technician for a decent sizes IT firm. While I learned a fair bit and initially enjoyed it, I became quite discouraged after quite a few of my older coworkers gave me a really hard time I assumed because of my age. Within the first three months, I quit the job and it left a bitter taste in my mouth about pursuing an IT career so I left it there.
Anyhow ten years on, that interest has been slowly coming back and I'm now at the stage where I want to pursue an IT career again sometime in the not to distant future. The passion for learning new stuff and tinkering has returned and I'm very eager to get started however I was hoping for a little guidance and advice from people on here.
Seeing as it's been, I've decided to start almost completely from the beginning to fill in all the gaps in my knowledge I have. The only things I'm confident in is my Windows OS (not server) knowledge and computer hardware so pretty damn basic. My first three priorities are to get some experience with both Windows Server, Linux and grasp a good understanding of networking to CCNA level.
Now my biggest problem is that I'm not much of a bookworm. I've always been a hands on kind of guy and learn much better this way. Now books are important and I've already got a few to go through like Odom's CCNA study guides however despite all the reading I plan on doing, I want to be practicing what I'm learning as best I can so I'm not just a walking book. Now I could go out and start buying some Cisco equipment and Windows Server OS etc however I'm fairly certain there are more cost effective solutions such as virtual machines and lab sims. Unfortunately though I don't really know much about that sort of stuff yet and was hoping some people could point me in the right direction.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

APC carries out a lot of research. Why? Because we link research to capacity building, to changed practice, to networking and advocacy. When we undertake research it is usually because we have an underlying advocacy goal. For example, we have worked with local researcher-activists to conduct research on telecomms policy in the Andean region because our long term goal is to bring down the price of broadband there.
The research is then used in broader capacity development: training, building knowledge of the issues, making information available in the public domain. Simultaneously we facilitate participation in policy processes, giving people an opportunity to use and test the research in real policy processes. The other element of this method, which is what we see makes it produce sustainable results, is that we tend to link researchers and other people seeking policy change, supporting the emergence of networks that then often continue on their own.

Which course is best suited for me: eLearnSecurity Student or The Hacker Academy
Let me explain my - perhaps unusual - situation.
I'm not a pentester nor am I in the IT industry nor have I taken any kind of formal computer-related course. I'm just someone who is interested in security and enjoys learning new things. I have decided that it would be a good investment to pay money to learn in an academic-type of environment which is structured. I don't really care about certification.
I do not consider myself to be a 'natural' (if such a person exists) but rather someone who learns through constant practice. I mention this because I am the type of individual who needs a level of guidance in order to learn. Simply saying "try harder" is not necessarily appropriate for my character.
That said I have taught myself a few things over the years. I know basic Python. I've used a number of common tools (like Reaver, Pyrit, Aircrack suite, BackTrack, Medusa and suchlike - nothing complicated through).
I originally was interested in Penetration Testing with Backtrack (PWB) but soon ruled it out as it does not sound like an introductory course (even through it apparently is). It strikes me that it is for people who have far more advanced skills than I do. Then I looked at the Hacking Dojo. The main issue seems to be that it is a one-man operation which can cause problems if the trainer is unwell or suchlike. Also I am not convinced that I like the idea of stages before you can move upwards.
Therefore I currently have two ideas: eLearnSecurity (Student) (http://www.elearnsecurity.com/course/pe ... g_student/) and The Hacker Academy (http://www.thehackeracademy.com/).
There are positive reviews of eLearn Security (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/307/24/ and http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/ ... ic,8818.0/) but these apply to the Pro (rather than Student version). I wonder if anyone has any experience with the Student component? It is $349 for the course.
The Hacker Academy has more debatable reviews but they are over a year old. Also they are not negative just not entirely positive (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/374/2/ and http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/ ... /#msg39993). I like the look of the curriculum which appears to cover both basic and more intensive courses. I also like the idea of a monthly $150 fee which gives you access to all modules.
The eLearn videos apparently are longer and more professionally created. As mentioned, I need something that provides a level of clarity. The Hacker Academy review implied that external material provides more information which questions what one is paying for.
I would certainly appreciate any comments about these courses and the differences between them. I'm happy to provide more information if that will help.

A cross between a Plymouth Neon and a Chrysler Sebring, one of the most pointless cars ever to be assembled. Not sporty enough to be a sports car, and definitely not luxurious enough to be a luxury car. Should be called a Chrysler Circus, because whoever designed this car is in fact a clown.
My Chrysler Cirrus is a piece of monkey-dong.

Europe :: Ireland
Celtic tribes arrived on the island between 600 and 150 B.C. Invasions by Norsemen that began in the late 8th century were finally ended when King Brian BORU defeated the Danes in 1014. English invasions began in the 12th century and set off more than seven centuries of Anglo-Irish struggle marked by fierce rebellions and harsh repressions. A failed 1916 Easter Monday Rebellion touched off several years of guerrilla warfare that in 1921 resulted in independence from the UK for 26 southern counties; six northern (Ulster) counties remained part of the UK. In 1949, Ireland withdrew from the British Commonwealth; it joined the European Community in 1973. Irish governments have sought the peaceful unification of Ireland and have cooperated with Britain against terrorist groups. A peace settlement for Northern Ireland is gradually being implemented despite some difficulties. In 2006, the Irish and British governments developed and began to implement the St. Andrews Agreement, building on the Good Friday Agreement approved in 1998.

Economy - overview:
Ireland is a small, modern, trade-dependent economy. Ireland was among the initial group of 12 EU nations that began circulating the euro on 1 January 2002. GDP growth averaged 6% in 1995-2007, but economic activity has dropped sharply since the onset of the world financial crisis, with GDP falling by over 3% in 2008, nearly 7% in 2009, and less than 1% in 2010. Ireland entered into a recession in 2008 for the first time in more than a decade, with the subsequent collapse of its domestic property and construction markets. Property prices rose more rapidly in Ireland in the decade up to 2007 than in any other developed economy. Since their 2007 peak, average house prices have fallen 47%. In the wake of the collapse of the construction sector and the downturn in consumer spending and business investment, the export sector, dominated by foreign multinationals, has become a key component of Ireland's economy. Agriculture, once the most important sector, is now dwarfed by industry and services. In 2008 the former COWEN government moved to guarantee all bank deposits, recapitalize the banking system, and establish partly-public venture capital funds in response to the country's economic downturn. In 2009, in continued efforts to stabilize the banking sector, the Irish Government established the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) to acquire problem commercial property and development loans from Irish banks. Faced with sharply reduced revenues and a burgeoning budget deficit, the Irish Government introduced the first in a series of draconian budgets in 2009. In addition to across-the-board cuts in spending, the 2009 budget included wage reductions for all public servants. These measures were not sufficient. In 2010, the budget deficit reached 32.4% of GDP - the world's largest deficit, as a percentage of GDP - because of additional government support for the banking sector. In late 2010, the former COWEN government agreed to a $112 billion loan package from the EU and IMF to help Dublin further increase the capitalization of its banking sector and avoid defaulting on its sovereign debt. Since entering office in March 2011, the new KENNY government has intensified austerity measures to try to meet the deficit targets under Ireland's EU-IMF program. Ireland achieved moderate growth of 1.4% in 2011 and cut the budget deficit to 9.1% of GDP. Although the recovery slowed in 2012 because of weaker EU demand for Irish exports, Dublin managed to trim the deficit to about 8.5% of GDP.

Flag of Ireland
Flag description:
three equal vertical bands of green (hoist side), white, and orange; officially the flag colors have no meaning, but a common interpretation is that the green represents the Irish nationalist (Gaelic) tradition of Ireland; orange represents the Orange tradition (minority supporters of William of Orange); white symbolizes peace (or a lasting truce) between the green and the orange
note: similar to the flag of Cote d'Ivoire, which is shorter and has the colors reversed - orange (hoist side), white, and green; also similar to the flag of Italy, which is shorter and has colors of green (hoist side), white, and red

Discontinued Product
D7B Energy Star Cook & Cold Water Cooler
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
Clover B7B Energy Star Cook & Cold Water Cooler - Point of Use - White
From Clover, the B7B point of use Cook & Cold Water Cooler (B7B-WHITE-POU7) combines energy efficiency, quality construction and convenience, all in a slim, bottle-less design that doesn't occupy too much room. Housed in a UV-protected polyethylene cabinet, the B7B provides warm and cold water (as cold as 36°F) on demand. The one-piece cabinet construction eliminates the problem of rust and corrosion in cracks or crevices, and makes for easy removal for cleaning and maintenance. Using the B7B water cooler in your home or at the office will save you money on bottled water, reduce the unbelievable amount of plastic waste collecting in landfills, and since it is Energy Star qualified, conserve energy and contain your carbon footprint.
Using advanced point of use technology the cooler allows water to flow into its reservoir until full, providing a continuous source of water without bottle storage or spilled water. Designed with the user in mind, both spouts are located close to the top of the cabinet rather than towards the middle, eliminating the need to bend too far down to dispense water. Inside, the water level is automatically controlled by a double float valve (activating a secondary safety valve in case of primary valve failure). Other convenient features include a removable drip tray, back-mounted handle for moving the unit, and a large, mid-height bottle opening that makes replacing bottles easier.
Cold Water Tank:Constructed of hygienic stainless steel, the cold water tank is specifically designed to be contaminant-resistant to protect your health
Temperature Adjustment:Controlled by an adjustable thermostat, the water temperature can be set from around 35.6°F-53.6°F(2°C~12°C)
ENERGY STAR® Rated:This appliance has earned an Energy Star rating, which means it meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy
Cold Water Delivery Rate:Measured in Gallons Per Hour (GPH): 1 gal of 50°F per hour (3.8L of 10°C)

In the Thick of It All in Seattle
Red Lion Hotel on Fifth Avenue • Seattle, WA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Single Queen Room
- Wi-Fi
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
No wonder Seattle receives about 9 million visitors a year—thanks to its bustling food, tech, music, and design scene, the largest city in the Pacific Northwest is truly worth a gander. "Perhaps against its salty old wishes, Seattle is morphing into a true cosmopolis," says Travel + Leisure. "Luxury hotels, high-end restaurants, and art galleries are proliferating, and the city's vaunted music scene never went away (even though grunge did)."
The Digs
Situated in downtown Seattle, in the Pike-Pine Corridor—which The New York Times calls "Seattle's happiest urban makeover: from a warren of shabby flats and greasy spoons to an arty but not oppressively gentrified hamlet just across the freeway from downtown"—the Red Lion Hotel on Fifth Avenue is within walking distance of the waterfront and the almost-100-year-old Pike Place Market.
Rooms feature a view of the skyline, plush pillow-top queen-size bed, granite bath with eco-friendly Pure amenities, free high-speed wireless Internet access, iPod docking station, and a 37-inch flat-screen TV. Downstairs, a microbrew by the fire awaits at the English-style Elephant & Castle, and Pacific Northwest fare is the name of the game at Terrace Garden Restaurant & Lounge, home to downtown Seattle's largest outdoor patio.
The Diversions
Right in the thick of it all, the recently renovated property is also not far from top attractions like the Space Needle (ride to the top for an out-of-this-world view), Seattle Center, and the Seattle Art Museum and its nine-acre Olympic Sculpture Park. We recommend a trip to Pioneer Square for the famed Underground Tour, which takes visitors through the subterranean ruins of Seattle before the city was destroyed by fire in 1889.
"Convenient to the shopping and financial districts, as well as just about every other downtown attraction, this traditional hotel offers casual comfort without a lot of fuss."-- Read Fodor's Review of the Red Lion Hotel on Fifth Avenue

Prostitutes who willingly accept food-stamps as a form of monetary return for their services.
Due to the absence of successful beings among the Vandergrift, Apollo, Leechburg, and other such areas, prostitutes are now willing to accept food-stamps as payment. After having received their payment, these "food-tramps" then proceed to buy large quantities of food or further barter the EBT for drugs.

Serenading the Senses in Historic Cape May
Carroll Villa B&B Hotel • Cape May, NJ
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Fridays and Saturdays, January 2 through March 21, 2013, in a Full, Queen, or Large Queen Room
- Bottle of Wine In Room on Arrival
- Complimentary Daily Breakfast with Bloody Marys and Mimosas
- Complimentary Morning Coffees and Bottled Waters

They say history repeats itself. Let's hope that's true: After this Escape to Cape May's historic Carroll Villa Bed & Breakfast Hotel, you'll want your getaway to happen over and over again.
Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, Cape May is the picturesque charm of New Jersey's southernmost point. Turn the page on cookie-cutter lodgings and instead bask in the bracketed villa-style inn's lovingly fashioned guest rooms. While the architecture takes you back to a bygone era, you'll appreciate modern, green initiatives like the B&B's installation of solar panels, a recycled IceStone bar top, and radiant heat flooring.
After settling in, explore area attractions like the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts, Bath Time, The Flying Fish Studio, Whale's Tale, Love the Cook, Good Scents, Great White Shark, Washington Street Gallery, and the Cape May Bird Observatory. You'll feel like you've gone back in time amid downtown's gaslight street lanterns.
Later, partake in a meal at the hotel's The Mad Batter Restaurant & Bar to experience the eatery The Boston Globe calls "legendary," and US Airways magazine says its "thick-sliced orange and almond French toast and award-winning buttermilk pancakes give the Mad Batter the best breakfast in this fine dining town." Indulge with house-made mimosas and Bloody Marys at breakfast or keep things sweet with a dessert at dinner.
For more than a century, Carroll Villa guests have taken seaside strolls through Cape May's quaint downtown or enjoyed a cool drink on the hotel's European-style veranda. Now you, too, can follow in their fortunate footsteps.
"An Italian villa-style hotel built in 1882 and located less than a block away from the beach... it has maintained its Victorian charm."-- Hudson Valley Magazine
