But, before the railroad was even started there were many hurdles to overcome, and the fact that it was ever built is a tribute to human resilience and endeavour. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 suddenly propelled the state from one that attracted little interest as it was considered a barren wasteland into one that people raced to inhabit and exploit. Suddenly, plans for a Transcontinental Railroad that only several years earlier were ridiculed as unworkable and over-ambitious...

Listed below are the top 15 counties with the highest median family income, followed by the median...

New Jersey state courts are notoriously indulgent to plaintiffs claiming sexual or racial discrimination and will almost never dismiss a sex or race based discrimination case, no matter how meritless. The New Jersey Supreme Court has held that the state anti-discrimination statute (the "NJLAD") is not meant to be a "civility code" and was not enacted to combat words that are merely discourteous or rude. Instead, it is only supposed to apply to genuine acts of discrimination-where an employee is singled out for bad treatment due to his or her race, gender or religion. Moreover, in cases where the employee/plaintiff has not been terminated, and instead claims to have been subjected to a "hostile...

Technically a video poker machine is a slot machine. In a real casino it is housed in a metal box that boasts a coin slot and another slot that pays out winnings. Many modern machines have a credit card reader and a bill acceptor. In an online casino video poker slot machine is represented by a graphic that mimics all of the functions of a non-virtual machine. The most obvious difference between a reel slot game and a game of video poker is that the reel slot game features windowpanes filled with betting symbols while the five video poker panes are filled with images of cards. As is true with playing slots, a certain degree of strategy is required before you even start playing the game. The true...
