Oakland at Work is a new series profiling Oaklanders with odd or interesting professions. Know someone who qualifies? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Though Mary Swift-Swan has traversed the Bay Area's many estuaries and coastlines since she was 3 years old, she didn't settle into the nonstop, unpredictable life of a sailor until she was well into her 30s. Now, as a licensed captain and the owner of Afterguard Sailing Academy, located near Oakland's Brooklyn Basin, she spends almost every day on the water—giving sailing lessons, leading ocean tours and preparing for the occasional long distance race. Though her vessels usually stay in the Bay, she sometimes sets her sails for San Diego, Hawai'i or Cabo San Lucas.
But her favorite part of the job, she says, is mentoring students from Oakland International High School and Oakland Street Academy, through a youth program she began, which teaches kids the basics of sailing and boat building. "Some of these kids have never been outside of Oakland," said Swift-Swan, who makes a point of taking her students throughout the East Bay, around the peninsula and up and down the coastlines of Marin during their time together. "I fell in love with the kids of Oakland," she said. "They're the reason I decided to open my business here."

Kesha's protracted legal battle with Sony and producer Dr. Luke has kept her out of the pop music game for some time—but in 2017, she's teed up for a comeback. A Kesha fan account on Instagram shared a minute-long clip of a new video for "Woman," a badass song with country and rockabilly vibes.
Related: Jerry Seinfeld Refuses to Hug Kesha
The teaser was filmed on a smartphone (tweet notifications pop up throughout) and the quality is low, but fans can hear a snippet of the song and some of the visuals Kesha has planned for her next act. The artist is pictured cruising down the highway in a convertible singing about her strength.
"I do what I want/ Say what you say/ I work real hard every day," she sings. "I'm a motherf—–' woman, baby, alright/ I don't need a man to be holding me too tight."

I'm taking part in Online Card Classes' Background Check, and it's Day 1, and time to get inky! Some of the techniques aren't new to me, but a couple are, and a great addition to my mixed media arsenal. Here are the highlights of this afternoon's play:
I have to admit the cloud on the sunset was a happy accident – my not so low-tack tape happened to tear off my carefully blended area, so a little more ink and a cloud was born! The metallic like sheen on the purple image is also accidental – the Hero Art Ombré pads do seem to have an unpredictable effect when used direct to paper.

Last weekend it was time to make a new batch. A new batch of healing herbal salve that I use on cuts, scraps, burns, skin irritations, and just about anything else that comes up. As you can imagine with five horses, a dog, and us two humans there is always something that needs a little TLC. Needless to say I make up a large batch!
People are often amazed to find out how easy it really is. You choose your own ingredients and custom blend a salve specifically for your needs. I often use a mixture of essential oils and handcrafted herbal oils too. The possibilities are endless.
The top three salves I use the most are a creosote salve used for equine scratches, wound salve with anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-septic, and healing herbs, and what I call a healing salve good for minor cuts, burns, scraps, etc. No chemicals, toxic or harmful ingredients in these wholesome salves. In fact it's common for the horses and dogs to lick the salve right out of the container when I'm not looking!
Here are a few pictures of the process. If you're interested in learning more about herbs, and especially making your own salve, join us for our upcoming Herbal Salves and Ointments for Horses workshop, Saturday December 8th, at Fire Horse Ranch. Taught by Melanie Dunlap, Earth Mother Herbalist, of Peaceful Spirit Center. Come and tap into the wisdom of her rich herbal background. While we've based the workshop around horses, the same principles and recipes apply to all animals and people too!

Facebook's troubling stock performance hasn't been lost on CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
At a companywide meeting earlier this month, the Facebook founder acknowledged the price drop, calling it "painful" for employees who had lost money since buying the stock, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Facebook's stock value has fallen nearly fifty percent since the company went public in May, a loss in performance that not even the company's stock-agnostic CEO can ignore. Zuckerberg's recognition has also extended to Facebook employees, who have watched the value of their investment shrink over the past three months.
But while Zuckerberg empathizes with his employees, he says he's confident the company's fortunes will reverse as it capitalizes on the investments it made this year. The press, he says, just has no idea of what Facebook has planned.
News of Zuckerberg's morale-boosting comes a day after the expiry of a stock lockup agreement allowed early investors to sell their shares. The selling splurge pushed Facebook's stock to a new low of $19.69. While that's bad, it could get worse: Three more lockup agreements are set to expire before the end of the year, freeing up owners of 1.4 billion shares to abandon the Facebook barge.
And Zuckerberg? For better or for worse, he's likely to stick by his mantra: "Stay focused, keep shipping."

Syma Forum
Welcome to our Syma Forum - Please click on topics to view comments.You have to be a member to post-Free to join. Enter correct email as password will be emailed to you- All Syma Helicopter help and advice here. NEW- you can now change color of forum, bottom of page!A A A
Yeah, that sounds like your problem. They come with two little screws on each side, although I've seen some with just one on one side. Anyway, look on there, and there should be a little bulge with a hole in it that looks like it's where one of those screws go. If you're missing a screw, or both for that matter, best thing for a quick fix, considering how hard the 111 is to take apart, then find a spot where a screw doesn't affect the structure of it, take it out and put it in. Just make sure it lines up with the notch in the main shaft.
I took the heli out of the box, charged it up, and read the instructions completely. The heli never got off the ground, and now the upper blades are not rotating. I read all through the other posts on this forum and I didnt see one that helped me. I saw multiple people post of about the little plastic pieces from top being sheared off. I can see those pieces on my heli and they are not broke. I dont want to have to take this thing apart or buy replacements parts. I am hoping that there is some very easy fix to why it is not flying and the upper blades are not working. I did notice that the upper blades come off the top of the main shaft very easily. Is it supposed to be that way? After taking off the upper blades from the shaft, I can see that there is a mini metal pole that also comes off the main shaft. then all that is left is the lower blades and that does not come off, it just spins around. When I spin the lower blades with the upper blades off I can feel that there are gears moving as I turn them. when I put the metal tube and upper blades back on and turn them, it doesnt feel like there is a gear moving with them. I don't know if that is the way it is supposed to feel or not. I also seee a little notch at the top of the main shaft where the upper blades would fit on. Is this notch supposed to lock into place with the upper blades? If so, I dont think mine is doing that. The upper blades are hitting the lower blades and the heli will not leave the ground. Also, when I hit the throttle on RC the heli is just moving around in a circle on the ground. I read in directions that you are supposed to turn the knob on the RC to fix this, but no matter how to turn that knob slow or fast or left or right or in the middle - it does not change or help anything. Is this a fake Syma? Do you think I should return it? This was a gift for my bf birthday and I am very disappointed. He is very excited about getting the RC Helicopter. If I should return it - maybe someone can give me advice on the best top notch heli to get instead? Reading reviews and trying to pick the best one through the internet is like reading greek to me lol. Thanks in advance for all the help!!!!

"Wait!" Chloe called, the loudest she could, which consequently wasn't very loud... in fact it came out as more of a hoarse whimper.
Alek stopped at the door, and spun around to face Chloe. "Yeah?"
"I... please, don't..."
Valentina appeared behind Alek at the door, and smiled at Chloe. "Did you get anything?"
"Yeah, Chloe was very helpful." The two of them walked out of the room, shutting the door softly behind them.
"Leave me alone..." Chloe finished in a lonely whisper, before closing her eyes and drifting back to her dark, mysterious world.
Chloe stared blankly at the white, glowing tree before her. After a long moment, she glanced behind it, to the sides of it, behind her... and there was nothing. The gray fog had finally, and slowly, cleared to reveal seemingly endless stretches of black nothingness. It was actually quite unsettling, she could practically feel her mind reaching out into the darkness, searching for something reasonably substantial to register into her mind, and continuously being met with blackness. So, she turned back to face the tree. Oddly enough, it seemed familiar. Not necessarily that she had seen it at some point in her life, because... well, that was ridiculous. Where could she have possibly seen a large, glowing white tree? No. This was from somewhere else. Somewhere recent. Somewhere cold. And just as realization began to set in, the temperature began to drop, and within seconds, Chloe could clearly see her breath lingering in the air before her.
"An athame?" Valentina asked, for perhaps the third time.
"That's what she said," Alek replied.
Valentina brushed her own hair from her face, letting out reluctant sigh.
"What's wrong?" Alek leaned forward in his seat.
"I can't believe I didn't see this before...The athame, or the tattoo of one, is a sort of universal symbol for... well, hunters."
"Hunters? As in Mai hunters?"
"As in hunters of the gods, or at least their offsprings. People who have made it their mission to eliminate 'tainted', as they say, breeds of the human race."
"How is it that I've never heard of them before?" Alek asked.
"They're not an organized group, or anything. It's, more or less, a family trade. It's something that's been passed down through the generations, through stories and lessons... these hunters have been taught that all of the children of the gods are menaces to human kind, tainting the pure blood of humanity... killing ruthlessly. They tend to kill their targets in the most painful way they can imagine... a revenge of sorts.
Alek's gaze fell to his feet. "Please tell me you know where I can find some of these monsters."
Valentina turned to look out the window, her arms now folded across her chest. "I've had Mai watching a few hangouts, over the years. There's a pub down at the docks... a lot of them hang out there, share stories and whatnot."
Alek rose to his feet and grabbed the athame from the table.
Valentina spun around. "Alek, they could kill you."
"I won't give them the chance."
She sighed. "Please, be careful."
Amy stared up into the sky, quietly watching the twinkling stars.
"What are you doing?" Jasmine asked, taking a seat beside her on the cold ledge, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.
"Just... thinking."
Amy's expression shifted from a look of serenity to turmoil as she turned to face Jasmine. "I'm sorry," she said.
"For what?"
"Getting angry at you guys, storming off... and the list goes on..."
"I get it."
Amy let her head roll back, smiling, somewhat, as the stars came back into sight. "I know you're all trying your best... it's just... it's frustrating, you know?"
"You don't know what it's like, watching your best friend dying, and knowing that there is absolutely nothing that you can do to help her. I can't fight like you guys, or run like you, or... I'm not... Mai."
"You're human."
"...Yeah, and it's times like these that really highlight how much that sucks."
Jasmine leapt to her feet, lingering on the ledge, for a moment, before dropping down in front of Amy. "Don't say that."
"Why? It's true."
"Amy, you're the most amazing human that I've ever met. You're best friends with a Mai, and you live in this world that you don't understand, sacrificing everything... just to be there for her."
"But that's not the whole story...I didn't cope well... at the start."
"In this case, the end justified the means, I think."
Amy's expression eased, and her features softened, as a smile began to curl at the end of her pink lips. "Thanks."
"Now... you think they've found anything, yet?"
"God, I sure hope so..." Amy muttered.
Jasmine smiled back, secretly shoving the fear she felt for Chloe's life into the back of her consciousness. It was no time to let that get to her, when Chloe was still fighting for her life, and Alek was still searching for a cure. She slid her phone out of her pocket, and stared at the bright screen before her. "Hm, no messages."
"That's good, right? That means Chloe isn't..." Amy trailed off, forcing herself, as Jasmine did, not to worry about what had yet to happen... what may not ever happen, for that matter. She still had hope, and she refused to let go of it.
"Yeah." Jasmine didn't want to mention that it also meant, most probably, that Alek and Valentina hadn't found anything to help.
Just then, the phone rang and Alek's face appeared on the screen.
"Oh! Answer it!" Amy yelled, jumping to her feet at the sound.
Jasmine tapped the green icon on the glass screen and lifted the phone up to her ear. "A-Alek?"
Heavy breaths could be heard on the other line. "Jasmine! We've got something!" Came Alek's excited, yet panicked voice.
"What is it? Where are you?"
"I'm heading to the west end of the docks; there's a hang out there, somewhere Valentina thinks we might be able to catch a lead."
Jasmine's face lit up. "Alright, we'll be right there."
"Amy and I."
"Whatever. Hurry."
Jasmine smiled. "Let's go for a ride," she said, grabbing Amy by the arm and dragging her into the parking lot.
"Where are we going?"
"The docks. We're going to save Chloe."
Note from the author: So, between AP classes and my need to keep up with all of my beloved television shows, I may or may not have forgotten about this. No worries, I've remembered now... :) So, sorry for the long wait, and the irritatingly short chapter, but I am literally working on another one RIGHT after I post this one. So more to come soon. Reviews are greatly appreciated, and you're awesome if you're still baring with me.

OXFORD, Miss. — Andrew Ritter kicked a 41-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to give 10-point underdog and injury-depleted Ole Miss a shocking, 27-24 victory over No. 6 and healthy LSU in front of 61,160 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Saturday night.
Playing without five defensive starters and starting tailback Jeff Scott because of recent injuries, Ole Miss never trailed and defeated LSU for the first time since 2009 as it rolled up 525 yards and kept the ball for 84 plays. Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace feasted on LSU's secondary throughout the night, completing 30 of 39 passes for 346 yards.
BOX SCORE: Rebels 27, No. 8 Tigers 24
HIGHLIGHTS: How the top 25 fared in Week 8
The Rebels (4-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) snapped a three-game losing streak and beat their highest ranked opponent since knocking off No. 4 Florida and quarterback Tim Tebow in 2008.
"I'm really not surprised at all that we won this game," Ole Miss safety Cody Prewitt said. "I feel like it's the first time this season we played for 60 true minutes."
LSU, which trailed 10-0 at the half and 17-0 in the third quarter, tied it 24-24 with 3:19 to play in the game when quarterback Zach Mettenberger hit wide receiver Jarvis Landry in the corner of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown. In the first half, Mettenberger threw three interceptions, including two in the end zone.
The Tigers (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) covered 80 yards in 11 plays over 3:10 to tie the game for the first time. Mettenberger kept the drive alive on fourth and 10 from the Rebels' 31-yard line when he found wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. for 15 yards to the Rebels' 16.
Ole Miss was about to take a 27-17 lead with 6:29 to go on a 29-yard field goal by Ritter, but defensive tackle Ego Ferguson blocked it to stay within 24-17.
LSU coach Les Miles was so concerned with trying to block Ritter's game-winning attempt in the final moments that he neglected to call a timeout following Ole Miss' last play from scrimmage before the field goal. Instead of calling timeout with about 20 to 25 seconds to go, he waited until only six seconds remained. Thus, after Odell Beckham Jr. returned the kickoff after Ritter's field goal, the game ended. An earlier timeout could have given LSU two plays for Hail Mary pass attempts.
"I was trying to get a block set up," said Miles, who could have used the timeout to get the block set up.
RELATED: Winners and losers in Week 8 action
Meanwhile, Ritter would not be rattled.
"I knew I had to make that second one," he said. "The first one that was blocked was going to be the difference, but I was fortunate enough to have another opportunity. I had to for my team. I didn't want to let them and these unbelievable fans down. I just put it in God's hands, and I was fortunate enough it went through."
Ole Miss' second turnover of the second half helped set up a 41-yard field goal by Colby Delahoussaye to get the Tigers within 24-17 with 11:22 to play in the fourth quarter. LSU had just punted, but Korvic Neat fumbled the return, and Alfred Blue recovered for LSU at the Ole Miss 13. Neat was returning his first punt of the season as regular returner/tailback Scott missed the game with a thigh bruise suffered last week against Texas A&M. Mettenberger lost 16 yards on a sack on third and four from the Ole Miss 7-yard line, forcing the field goal.
Ole Miss, leading 17-7 at the six-minute mark of the third quarter, saw its upset bid appear to start slipping away when tailback I'Tavius Mathers fumbled at the LSU 49-yard line. Safety Ronald Martin recovered for the Tigers. Two plays later, Mettenberger hit Landry for 34 yards to the Rebels' 17-yard line. LSU ran five consecutive times with tailback Jeremy Hill scoring on a 3-yard run with 3:09 to play in the third period to cut Ole Miss' lead to 17-14.
The Rebels, though, came right back and sliced through LSU's troubled defense for large gain after large gain in a 76-yard drive in seven plays. Tailback Jaylen Walton dashed through a huge hole for the 26-yard touchdown and 24-14 lead with three seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Trailing 10-0 at halftime, LSU opened the second half with a three-and-out and a 27-yard punt by Jamie Keehn. Ole Miss took over at the Tigers' 49. Nine plays later, Walton scored on a 2-yard run to conclude a steady drive and give the Rebels a shocking 17-0 lead with 9:29 to play in the third quarter.
The Tigers finally scored on their next possession, moving 61 yards in eight plays. Mettenberger found Landry for 23 yards and wide receiver Kadron Boone for 22 more to the Ole Miss 16. Tailback Kenny Hilliard gained nine, then four and finally the last yard for the touchown, cutting the Rebels' lead to 17-7 with 6:16 to play in the third period.
In the first half, LSU's offense looked like the team smarting from a slew of injuries – not Ole Miss' defense – as Mettenberger played the worst half of his career, going 7-of-11 for 102 yards but with the three picks. He finished 19 of 33 for 274 yards with a touchdown.
"Those throws should not have happened," Miles said of Mettenberger's interceptions. "The routes had plenty of other options. He just needed to complete them."
It was the first shutout against the Tigers in a first half since it trailed 9-0 at halftime in the 21-0 loss to Alabama in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 9, 2012. The Tigers gained 178 yards on 30 plays in the first half, but the interceptions killed three scoring opportunities.
Hill fumbled on LSU's first play from scrimmage. The Tigers recovered, but it was an omen.
After LSU's defense forced two three-and-outs from Ole Miss to start the game, Beckham set up Mettenberger and the offense at the Rebels 38-yard line after a 21-yard punt return. But Mettenberger under-threw an open Beckham near the end zone, and safety Chief Brown intercepted in the end zone.
The Rebels responded with a 69-yard drive in 17 plays as Wallace made LSU's secondary look like it was playing Georgia again. He hit 8-of-11 passes for 71 yards on the drive, which was one more completion than Mettenberger had the whole first half. But the Rebels had to settle for a 28-yard field goal by Andrew Ritter for a 3-0 lead with 1:23 to play in the first quarter.
Mettenberger completed two passes 40 yards on LSU's next drive, but the Tigers still had to punt.
Wallace continued to pick apart a suddenly confused LSU defense on the next drive as he hit wide receiver Donte Moncrief for 16 yards and wide receiver Vince Sanders for 33 more to the LSU 3-yard line. On the next play, platoon quarterback Barry Brunetti found tight end Nicholas Parker for a 3-yard touchdown and 10-0 lead with 12:14 to go before halftime. That was 83 yards in six plays and two minutes and nine seconds.
LSU drove from its 11 to the Ole Miss 20 behind Hilliard and Hill and two Mettenberger completions for 30 yards, but he threw into double coverage in the end zone for Beckham on first down from the 20. Free safety Cody Prewitt intercepted in the end zone.
The Tigers moved again on their next drive with Mettenberger hitting two passes for 21 yards and Hill gaining 12 yards on two carries. But on second and four from the LSU 47, Mettenberger threw deep to a well covered Beckham, and cornerback Charles Sawyer intercepted at the Ole Miss 11 late in the second quarter.
"This is the biggest win of my life," said Ole Miss defensive end Cameron Whigham, who found himself in a starting because of the rash of Rebels injuries. "I'm just so proud to be a part of the Ole Miss family and be able to compete with my brothers for 60 minutes."
Glenn Guilbeau also writes for Gannett Louisiana.

How does the family of God grow? How does a man or woman who is spiritually dead meet Jesus Christ and be born again into the family of God? How can we who are children of God encourage and love those who are lost into the arms of Jesus?
We live in desperate times. People from all walks of life and in every socioeconomic stratum are in great need. One needs physical healing. Another needs relief from loneliness. Still another needs freedom from addiction. And they all need Jesus. We all need Jesus.
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17) There is great need for the hearing of the word of God in our families and in our communities today. And the word of God that we all need is not just the word that is spoken in pulpits on Sundays and Wednesdays. The word of God that we need is not just the word spoken by our missionaries and teachers as they travel. No, the word of God that we most need is the word of how we live each and every day of our life before a lost and dying world.
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9) If you have been saved then you have been chosen and you have been given a marvelous and glorious task. This task is of utmost importance and will bring you great blessings and great joy. Your task is to proclaim the praises of Him who called you with your very life.
Joyful, thankful people are the most attractive, pleasant people to be around. Those who are blessed and know it, and then humbly share their blessings with others, will always draw a crowd. Although we all face difficulties and troubling circumstances we can still live a life of praise and thanksgiving. And by sharing in our blessings and being generous with what we have we can meet someone else's need.
What happens when those who are thankful and blessed meet those who are desperate and in need? Ministry happens. It is at this point that God is able to use His people to draw those who are lost and searching towards reconciliation with Christ. This is a personal process that is unique in each and every situation because every person and every need is unique.
I believe that God is calling His children to get involved in the lives of the lost and hurting who are all around them. In other words, it's time to get interpersonal and nurture some relationships with people who may not normally be our first choice for a friend. By the way we love unselfishly and without expectation of reward we may be the only picture of Jesus that some people ever see.
It's time to let the lost person know, beyond anything else, that they are loved. It's time to let the struggling Christian know that they are not alone and that we are praying for them and will always welcome them back with open arms. Most of all, it's time to tell the world that God wants to reclaim his children and desires that all men be saved.
May we live a life of such light and fervor before the Lord that there is no question that the God we serve is real and is able to save the souls of men. This is how the family of God grows.
My questions for you today are: Have you been invited into the family of God? If so, are you now living a life that invites others to join our great family?

Aspiring nurses asking "how much does a MSN make?" will be pleased to know that, with greater education and experience, salaries rise quickly within the nursing profession.
Benefits Of A MSN Degree
The Master of Science in Nursing is a graduate degree in the health care field. Like RN to BSN programs, BSN to MSN programs mainly exist to help nurses further their careers. However, many people with bachelor's degree in another field opt to complete the MSN degree and become a nurse. These career change programs are often accelerated, and require a heavy time commitment during the course of the program.
Completing an MSN program online is a popular option because it enables students to study anywhere they have an internet connection and distance from their chosen school is not an issue. Typically, the choice of an online MSN program is only available to nurses who are already practicing. They get their training experience in the medical setting where they work. Students in career change, or accelerated, programs have usually never performed even basic nursing procedures, and need hands-on help and feedback on their performance.
BSN to MSN programs can be found at many institutions. Some examples are Duke University, which requires a BSN, online programs like the one at the University of Phoenix, and the accelerated program at Salem State College.
How Much Does A MSN Make? Details About MSN Salaries
The salary for MSN varies from region to region, so the answer to the question "how much does a MSN make?" will also be different from region to region. Additionally, the average MSN salary varies depending on what type of program the student specializes in at nursing school. Completing the MSN degree makes a student eligible to become an Advanced Practice Nurse. Unlike RNs who are trained in largely unspecialized undergraduate programs, these nurses specialize in a certain type of practice. Their salaries depend somewhat on their specialties. Not all programs offer all specializations, so it is important to pick not only an accredited, top school, but also one that has your desired graduate specialization.
By specialization, Clinical Nurse Specialists and Cardiovascular Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners make the most money, at salaries of around $64,000 to $108,000. Nurse educators make the least, at around $47,000-$97,000. Except for nurse educators, all advanced practice nurses make an average of greater than $60,000 a year.
The schools with the best BSN to MSN programs provide job placement assistance as well as continued education, therefore choosing a school that best suits one's particular needs is going to be critical. Schools of this type exist all over the country as well as online and have curriculum that is specialized for this field. After studying at one of these top schools any graduate wondering "how much does an MSN make?" would be well prepared to move up the ranks in the nursing field.

The Suburban You: Reports from the Home Front
You are about to discover that living in the suburbs is a whole lot funnier than you ever thought possible. For this country s 145,892,494 (give or take) suburbanites, Mark Falanga is an utterly deadpan (and thoroughly entertaining) spokesman.Mark Falanga is a slick urban dweller, at the top of his game professionally, with a gorgeous corporate executive wife and a hip coterie in the coolest neighborhood in the city. But when baby makes three, Mark and his family enter the twilight zone called the suburbs, where public schools are good, many wives stay home, and children ride their tricycles in the driveway. Nothing is the same ever again.With the dry wit of David Sedaris, and Dave Barry s love of the absurd, Falanga details his new, suburban landscape from the point of view of a bewildered but gung-ho everyman. From the complex political pecking order in the neighborhood, with its ultracompetitive block parties and its consuming holiday-card rivalry, to the surprises lurking on every corner such as the twelve-year-old pyromaniac next door and the suspiciously broad-shouldered lady on the commuter train The Suburban You describes in slyly understated prose the vicissitudes of life in the burbs.

Yellowfin Surf City Reviews
3 reviews
Not worth it! Aug 05, 2011
My husband and I recently went to the Yellowfin b/c he won a 50 dollar gift certificate. I would never go there again. The food was just alright. The service was great at first but after we got our entrees nobody even came back to ask us how we were. The place is very small and you feel like you are on top of the table next to you. Not to mention the prices are out of control. One app and 2 entrees came to 102 with tip. They had a lobster special that was 70 dollars. I don't recommend going here.

LONDON (Nov. 22)
Israel has maintained a decisive technological advantage in the air with the acquisition of its latest strike aircraft from the United States, according to the current issue of the London-based Jane's Defense Weekly.
The journal reports that the Israel Air Force has now taken delivery of more than half of the 25 Boeing F-151 jet fighters it ordered in 1994 and has already conducted more than 1,200 flights with the aircraft, which are now stationed at the Tel Nov base in central Israel.
The multibillion-dollar order, scheduled to be completed by mid-1999, gives Israel — for the first time — an all-weather, long-range, pre-emptive strike capability, the journal reported.
The acquisition also gives Israel "the most powerful long-range aircraft in the region," it said.
An Israeli defense official was quoted as saying that a decision on Israel's next aircraft purchase is not expected until early next year.

If we're unlucky enough to crash before > a temp file can be renamed into place, it'll just sit there harmlessly. I can think of below ways to generate tmp file 1. Generate session specific tmp file name during operation. This will be similar to what is currently being done in OpenTemporaryFileinTablespace() to generate a tempfilename. 2. Generate global tmp file name. For this we need to maintain global counter. 3. Always generate temp file with same name "postgresql.auto.conf.tmp", as at a time only one session is allowed to operate. In any approach, there will be chance that temp files will remain if server crashes during this command execution which can lead to collision of temp file name next time user tries to use SET persistent command.

Several US Courts of Appeal have broadly applied the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (enacted in the 1980s) in a way that criminalizes activities such as using a computer for purposes violating an employer's Internet use policy or violating the terms of a service of a website. No reasonable person would view such "violations" as a crime and these courts have exposed people to needless prosecution.
But now, the Ninth Circuit has brought some sanity. From The Register:
In a highly anticipated test of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit construed the law narrowly Tuesday, saying prosecutors can't use it to go after someone who checks sports scores from a work computer or fibs on Facebook. The 1984 law is an anti-hacking statute, not a tool to make federal criminals of anyone who violates employer computer policies or a website's terms of service, the en banc panel said in a 9-2 opinion in U.S. v. Nosal, 10-10038.
"The government's construction of the statute would expand its scope far beyond computer hacking to criminalize any unauthorized use of information obtained from a computer," Chief Judge Alex Kozinski wrote for the majority. "This would make criminals of large groups of people who would have little reason to suspect they are committing a federal crime."

*Great News* The Old Art Room Has Moved to Swaffham
I will still be teaching out in the community as usual at certain times but this will be a permanent space to work, share, exhibit and enjoy. Lots of exciting events planned!
'The Art Room' is an Art Academy, so a mixture of leisure and certificated courses and workshop sessions available for all ages.
The doors open Monday 3rd of June and 'Textile Tuesdays start on the 4th! Very exciting.
I start off the Textile Tuesday and Thursday this month with 'Bags' as they are as popular as ever.
Evening class on the 5th of June. 7pm until 9pm.
The second week is all about Embellishing, using the felting machines and 'Bling' you can sew on as Embellishments. There are four machines to share and lots of wonderful bits to experiment with.
There are two sessions to each Textile day as usual 10am until 12.15 and 12.30 until 2.45. The cost is £9 per session and includes a cup of tea and a biscuit. You bring your own ingredients/ project, enjoy the inspiration and there is supplies to purchase if you wish. There is also a very large scrap bag, well in my case a large aluminium box on wheels! To delve into to enhance your project or start a new one! Someone elses scrap bag is always more interesting somehow?
Lots to see and do each day so a visit is a must or if you are too far away visit regularly online to enjoy the atmosphere.
Monday afternoon from 2.30 until 5pm you can come along with your own project and enjoy working in a textile studio while I am working on my textile projects, mine are inspired by our Art Room visit to Kew Gardens and also Recycled Textiles and Stitch. I am there for tips and guidance only.
Starting at the end of the month June and continuing throughout the summer 'Friday in Print' a way of exploring all different ways of printing and transposing designs. Also on request sketchbooks and book making.
Two sessions 10 until 12.15 and 12.30 until 2.45 and the cost is £10
Monday and Wednesdays I am still teaching City and Guilds and final projects and Design files are looking amazing.
We would like to thank the Benjamin Foundation and Cancer Care Moving on Project Dereham for their support in allowing us to teach and share their spaces since November 2012. It has really been appreciated and we have had a fantastic time.
The signs went up today outside the cottage to advertise Norfolk Open Studios. I will be open from the 26th May until the 10th of June, 10.30 until 5pm daily. The studio is looking very colourful and there is lots of mixed media art on show.
I will demonstrating different techniques everyday.
The event is free and everyone is welcome.

ABC News has, thus far, ignored its own revelation that, contrary to insinuations made by Barack Obama, the then-private citizen and his wife "were making enough to be considered 'wealthy' by the president's own definition in the years before his loans were paid off." ABC relegated this story to a posting on its website, not mentioning it on Wednesday's World News or Nightline.
The story was similarly skipped on Thursday's Good Morning America. World News did touch on student loans, but only to accuse Mitt Romney of flip-flipping on the issue. David Muir dug up a clip of the Republican telling a college student to shop around and not expect the government to bail him out.
On Tuesday, President Obama said this: "We only finished paying off our student loans off about eight years ago...That wasn't that long ago. And that wasn't easy – especially because when we had Malia and Sasha, we're supposed to be saving up for their college educations, and we're still paying off our college educations."
Yet, as Jon Karl explained on ABCNews.com, Obama was sometimes making over $250,000 ($272,759 in 2002). He reported:
But according to their tax returns, which are available on the White House website, the Obamas had a healthy, six-figure income by the year 2000 (the earliest return available). And for at least two years before his loans were paid off, Obama, by his own definition, made so much they were wealthy enough to pay higher taxes.
Here's a rundown of the president's income, according to his tax returns, in the years before he paid off his student loans:
2004: $207,647
2003: $238,327
2002: $259,394
2001: $272,759
2000: $240,505
In 2001 and 2002, the Obamas would have met the $250,000 standard the president has set for those wealthy enough to afford to pay more taxes.
It's also notable that the Obamas didn't claim deductions for student loans on any of those years, most likely because they made too much money to qualify for the student loan deduction.
Interesting, pertinent information, but apparently not worthy of appearing on the actual ABC network.
A partial transcript of the April 25 World News can be found below:
DAVID MUIR: And as Romney was delivering his speech, President Obama was delivering one liners on late night. Tonight, Republicans are on the attack, putting the two images side by side. The tale of two leaders, they say. The President's team will argue it was a huge opportunity in front of a giant crowd of college students, a key demographic, as the President pushes to keep interest rates from jumping on those college loans.
BARACK OBAMA: E-mail your member of Congress and tell them, don't double my rates. In fact, if you tweet, you can use that hash tag, #don'tdoublemyrates.
MUIR: Romney now says he agrees on that point. But this was Romney just last month When a perspective college student asked about the skyrocketing price of college.
MITT ROMNEY: The best thing I can tell you is to tell you to shop around. And to compare tuition in different places. Make sure you can get your degree in four years- or less. And don't expect the government to forgive the debt you take on. Recognize you're going to have to pay it back.
MUIR: The two candidates there with two different answers on the key issue of college loans. And, of course, young voters, a key demographic.

NetTiers, Subsonic, DLINQ, CSLA, NHibernate etc etc ... which one?
I'm commencing a fairly hefty project which requires an ORM solution.
Previously I've developed a rather hefty CSLA.net type framework which requires a lot of finger bashing to get useful results. Unfortunately it's slow and I can't be arsed to maintain it any more. I've toyed with SubSonic but didn't find it particularly stable or easy to deploy and Iv'e used NetTiers extensively but it's a bit heavy.
Anyone got any opinions on a half decent ORM which actually works properly, is rock solid stable, doesn't cost anything and requires as little coding as possible. The only key features required are optimistic concurrency built in, strongly typed collections, transaction support, half decent documentation, a custom query interface that doesn't suck and support for SQL Server only.
Mine (Opf3) costs a little bit, but is easy to use and very fast.
I've had luck using Gentle.NET with MyGeneration. It hits all of your requirements and is free.

I've only started using Subsonic but it seems to be very good.
Hi christhetechie:
It's been a couple of months since your post of ORM. Which one did you go with and would you care to share any feedback?
I'm in a similar situation and value your opinion.
You're the first person that I have heard of with problems with SubSonic. SubSonic 2.0.1 is a really great tool. What was your configuration like? Did you use the build provider or a class library?
I recently heard of using Subsonic as the DAL under CSLA.net--sounds like the best of both worlds!
SubSonic is great!! I used it when 2.0 was released, need to look into it a bit more - maybe blog a bit about it. It is very cool, plus it works with .Net 2.0 (Unlike Linq).
Linq is also very cool, but its still in beta and requires .net 3.5 so that might be a non-starter for you. I do like it, not sure if I would pick Linq to SQL over SubSonic.
If you are targeting for .NET 3.5, as in, for the release version of this. I would use LINQ to SQL.. if there's one thing that other ORM's lack, and because its not really possible.. its compile time expressions against the data structures.. creating expressions in strings isn't very nice, and the opposite is trying to interact OOP objects in SQL like clauses..
I've for some reason stuck with Gentle.NET other than my own utterly simplistic ORM.. not sure why because I find Gentle.NET to have tons of glaringly obvious design flaws, and the documentation is pretty weak..
NHibernate is the one I've used most. It takes some time to configure, but once its working the lazy loading, cascading, etc. really speed up the development process. I highly recommend you couple it with ActiveRecord since it will handle a good deal of your fetching and saving needs without having to write extraneous mappings and such.
What about EntitySpaces?
I'm using the trial and so far it looks good.
Any good/bad experiences?
Had great success with NHibernate with Fluent NHibernate. The automapping saves tons of time.
Hope this helps,
littleguru said:Mine (Opf3) costs a little bit, but is easy to use and very fast.
Opf3 goes open source!
I started to work at Microsoft with July 2009. Due to that change in my personal life I decided to make Opf3 open source. This allows a more flexible development and I'm sure you guys will love that move!

I d like to collect some opinions, or even advice on the following.
I will be writing a business application, probably using Spring and Hibernate, but non web clients. Nothing too special.
What though is a thinking-issue, sotosay, is that I know that the applications entities will change frequently. A simplified example would be that there might be a "Person" entity with some properties, and lets say every few months new fields need to be added (for example "age", and then "business address" or whatever). And I would like to make this as easy possible, ideally possible without a coder. The UI forms would either adapt automatically, or I will push it out to some config files.
The most obvious solution to this is code changes and re-releasing the changed code.
The other obvious one is come up with a kindof dynamic and generic DB schema but I dont really like the idea that much, because it would complicate queries and whatnot.
Does any one have experience with stuff like that, or any ideas, opinions, criticism? How is that usually done in CRM solutions, are there libraries out there for this?
Thanks very much for every input!

Before you simply choose any personal injury attorney Charleston SC or anywhere else for that matter to help you with your accident claim, it is important that you take this time to carefully consider a few options. Not all personal injury lawyers are the same, and not all lawyers specialize in accident claims. The best way to ensure that you are going to get the best treatment and the highest settlement in interviewing your lawyer before you work with them. You are entitles to a free initial consultation where you can get to know the lawyer better. This free meeting is where you should ask all the questions you could possibly have. Consider some of these important issues before you choose an auto accident lawyer and visit Charleston Attorney Group for more information.
The Track Record
When you are choosing between the different auto accident lawyers, be sure that you take advantage of their free initial consultation. This gives you the opportunity to sit with the lawyer and get a feel for how they conduct business. If the lawyer is focused elsewhere or giving short answers to your questions, they may be focused on other bigger cases. You need to be comfortable around your lawyer because they will be working with you for a long period of time and will be representing you in a courtroom when the case goes to trial. Ask about their record concerning accident cases and how many settlements they won. If you feel that they have settled the majority of claims for big money before going to trial, this could mean the other lawyers do not want to go up against your attorney in a court setting.
Asking Around
Don't choose a auto accident lawyer based on their advertisement on television or in the papers. Before you narrow down the search, ask around with coworkers, family, or friends, see if anyone has had any positive experiences with a local attorney and their accident claim. If you can get a referral, it will go a long way in helping you to get a more optimal result. Ask around and see how these people felt about their time working with this attorney. Did they like the personality of the lawyer? Was the lawyer genuinely concerned about their health? Did the lawyer have connections with the best doctors in their fields? Be sure to ask as many questions as you can because once you team up with a lawyer it can be a very challenging time to break your contract and start the process all over.

Diurnal Avian Corridor Maps
Minnesota Map of Potential Bird-Structure Collision Areas (PDF)
Identify river systems and other geological features that are valuable diurnal avian migration corridors.
All major river systems with a north-south orientation or northwest-southeast orientation were included in the analysis. East-west rivers were not included in this analysis unless expert opinion or the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) mapping effort pointed out known sites as corridors for at least one group of birds (i.e. shorebirds, raptors, etc.). East-west rivers tend to act more as stopover habitat for most species of landbirds and sometimes for waterfowl and shorebirds rather than as corridors since they are not oriented in the direction of most species' spring or fall migration patterns. One examples of this pattern would be the Sauk River in Stearns County which generally flows west to east until it joins the Mississippi River at Sauk Rapids. Simultaneously, the state's IBAs associated with a river system were mapped. The IBA selection process is based on a combination of existing scientific studies, existing observational data, and the opinion of a panel of experts who determine whether a site is to be included as an IBA.
Corridors with existing IBAs were included if the selection criteria pointed to the value of an IBA as a migration corridor for various species groups. The remaining rivers were then analyzed using Google Earth for the presence of significant forest patches within a mile of either bank of the waterway or continuous gallery forest along its banks. Selected river corridors required a minimum of 50% forest patches or gallery forest along at least one bank of a stretch of a waterway for inclusion. In some cases, portions of the corridor which did not meet these criteria were eliminated from further consideration. In a few instances in heavily agricultural landscapes, blocks of forest habitat were patchily distributed along the banks or within one mile of the waterway, but were likely visible to migrating forest birds from one patch to the next and were included. In other instances, substantial wetlands along the banks or within a mile of a waterway indicated a potentially valuable corridor for shorebirds or marshbirds and were included.
"Dominant bird groups / species"
This categorization is intended to be a general guide gleaned from IBA selection criteria and state expert opinion as to which groups of birds are most important in a selected river corridor and might be vulnerable to collisions with locally-sited communication towers, bridges, wind turbines, tall buildings, or other similar structures. This is not intended to be a comprehensive vulnerability assessment for a corridor's avifauna, but serves only as a potential early warning system for biologists and developers. Developers should complete thorough pre-construction avian surveys for various projects sited in or along these corridors, paying special attention to those avian groups for which a river corridor provides known important habitat and passageway. Corridors noted with double asterisks (**) are the only corridors where bridge construction projects are likely to be a serious issue with migrant birds due to the large river width, broad migration corridor, likelihood of foggy conditions on a regular basis, and the potential height of any bridge constructed which may prove to be a hazard for migrant and resident birds.
The first three sites below (marked with **) have the highest probability of potential bridge-avian collisions based on the topography of the river valley and the existence of species which may be most vulnerable to such collisions. The other corridors contain significant concentrations of birds, but are not thought to have the highest potential for avian collisions with bridges. They may, however, have high potential for avian collisions with other structures such as buildings, communication towers, and wind turbines.
Upper Mississippi River **
(from Little Falls to Iowa state line)
Various IBAs run from Monticello all the way to the Iowa border and include from north to south the following: North Metro Mississippi River IBA, Mississippi River Twin Cities Important Bird Area, Lake Pepin IBA, a portion of the Vermillion Bottoms-Lower Cannon River IBA, and the Upper Mississippi NWR IBA. Major documentation for considering this corridor as an IBA include raptor migration (buteos, Turkey Vulture, both eagle species including wintering birds and breeding Bald Eagles, Osprey, breeding Red-shouldered Hawk, breeding Peregrine Falcon), migrant White Pelican (> 5,000 birds), colonies of Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, and Green Heron, migrant waterfowl including nationally important concentrations of Tundra Swan, Canvasback (Weaver Bottoms), Common Goldeneye (Lake Pepin), and Common Merganser (Lake Pepin), numerous bottomland forest breeding passerines including Acadian Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, Kentucky, Cerulean, Prothonotary, and Hooded Warbler, and Louisiana Water-thrush. The bordering and island bottomland forests and adjacent bluff forests are a very important stopover site for spring and fall passerines from St. Cloud southward.
Most vulnerable groups: waterfowl (especially Tundra Swan, diving ducks, mergansers), waterbirds (herons, egrets, White Pelican), raptors—eagles, Osprey, Turkey Vulture, Peregrine Falcon, passerines.
St. Croix River**
Waterbirds, mainly from Taylor Falls south to Prescott; raptors and landbirds from Wisconsin—Pine County, Minnesota boundary south to Prescott: a portion of this corridor is also defined as the St. Croix River Important Bird Area (IBA) on the Wisconsin side of the river while the St. Croix Bluffs IBA has been designated on the Minnesota side in Washington County. Major documentation for considering this corridor includes raptor migration (mainly Bald Eagle, Osprey, Turkey Vulture, Red-tailed Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk), waterfowl (Trumpeter Swans, geese and diving ducks), several Great Blue Heron colonies, and bottomland forest breeding birds including Red-shouldered Hawk, Prothonotary Warbler, and Louisiana Water-thrush. This corridor is also an important pathway for migrant landbirds spring and fall
Most vulnerable groups: waterfowl—Trumpeter Swan, geese, raptors (eagles, Osprey, buteos, Turkey Vulture); passerines.
Minnesota River Valley**
Segment 1-(Browns Valley, Traverse County southeast to Mankato): this corridor is used primarily by migrant waterbirds (especially White Pelican), waterfowl, raptors (accipiters, Red-tailed Hawk, Bald Eagle) spring and fall, and landbirds, especially swallows, warblers, and vireos. The Lac Qui Parle—Big Stone IBA documents avian concentrations in a portion of this river stretch.
Most vulnerable groups: waterbirds (White Pelican), waterfowl, raptors (Turkey Vulture, Osprey, buteos, and Bald Eagle), migrant landbirds.
Segment 2-Mankato north and east to the junction with the Mississippi River at Fort Snelling): this corridor is an important waterfowl pathway and stopover area for Tundra Swan and ducks spring and fall, for fall raptors, especially Turkey Vulture, Osprey, buteos, and Bald Eagle, and for migrant and breeding landbirds including both cuckoo species, Wood Thrush, 25+ species of warblers, and Lark Sparrow. The Upper Minnesota River Valley IBA and the Lower Minnesota River Valley IBA document avian concentrations in this river stretch.
Most vulnerable groups: waterfowl, raptors (Turkey Vulture, Osprey, buteos, and Bald Eagle), migrant landbirds.
Lake Superior shoreline
(from Pigeon River/Canadian border southwest to Park Point, Duluth): likely the most important migratory corridor in the state for 200+ species of migratory birds. Two individual IBAs are located along the shoreline, namely (from north to south, North Shore Peregrine Falcon Eyries, Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve IBA): This is the major western Great Lakes corridor for fall-migrating raptors including Rough-legged Hawk, Northern Goshawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Golden Eagle (200+ birds in fall), Osprey, Bald Eagle (3,000+ birds spring and fall) and owls including Northern Saw-whet Owl and Long-eared Owl. Spring shorebird flights along the shoreline are usually low but fall numbers of American Golden Plover (Hawk Ridge-Duluth) and Sanderling (Park Point-Duluth) can reach dozens to several hundred birds. Passerine migration is very heavy both spring and fall along the lakeshore and for some distance inland (up to 3 to 7 miles in some locations) with many fall birds moving along the ridgetops. The density of the fall raptor flight increases as one moves southwestward from Grand Portage as birds coming in from the west, hit the coast, and join other birds already moving southwardwest along the coast (Gerald Nieme, pers. comm., 2009).
Most vulnerable groups: raptors-accipiters, buteos, Osprey, both eagle species, Long-eared Owl, Northern Saw-whet Owl, passerines.
St. Louis River
(from its mouth at Duluth Harbor upriver to Fond du Lac): the eastern portion of this corridor in the vicinity of the U.S. Highway 53 bridge is the major spring raptor pathway for accipiters, buteos, Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle, and Osprey in Minnesota. Depending upon winds this pathway may move eastward over Lake Superior (for eagles), more often westward a couple of miles. Many species use this corridor, notably White Pelican, Sandhill Crane, Common Loon, Northern Raven, Blue Jay, and swallows.
Most vulnerable groups: waterbirds (Common Loon, Sandhill Crane), raptors (Bald Eagle, Osprey)
Red River Valley
(from the Canadian border north of St. Vincent, Kittson County south to Browns's Valley, Traverse County): although not a well-studied corridor, this river valley serves as a minor raptor (<5,000 raptors per season) route and as a major waterfowl (swans, ducks, geese) route, often attracting tens of thousands of waterfowl during the frequent spring flood years. Based on years of anecdotal data from birders in the Fargo-Morehead and Crookston-Grand Forks area, this is also an important corridor for migrant forest landbirds spring and fall, the most significant pathway between the Mississippi River to the east and the James River in the Dakotas to the west. Despite some channelization and forest fragmentation in the southern portion of the valley, where in some places the bordering "forest" is only one tree wide, most of the remaining stretches are bordered by at least some forest cover as far north as the Canadian border. Several studies have shown that this river valley also lies in an important shorebird pathway for over 20 species of boreal or Arctic-breeding species. Most of this migration is nocturnal with stopover sites determined by the presence of floodwaters or exposed flats from drawdowns or droughts. Some diurnal fall shorebird migration has been noted for plovers and Buff-breasted Sandpiper at very low altitudes, but whether this is typical is unknown and needs further study.
Most vulnerable groups: waterfowl, raptors (Osprey, accipiters, buteos, and Bald Eagle), migrant landbirds.
Des Moines River Valley
(from Petersburg Township at the Iowa state line northwest to Windom, Cottonwood County): this forested stretch offers a suitable pathway for migrant landbirds, especially cuckoos, vireos, flycatchers, thrushes, and warblers. A few raptor migration observations have been made in this largely unstudied corridor indicating the presence of at least a minor (5,000 birds) raptor migration route spring and fall for accipiters and buteos (Broad-winged Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk).
Other Potential Corridors
Other relatively short stretches of rivers in Minnesota can be utilized by birds as migration corridors. The Red Lake River from Crookston, Polk County northwest to its junction with the Red River at East Grand Forks, the Buffalo River (see Bluestem Prairie—Buffalo River IBA) in Clay County from Silver Lake northwest to its junction with the Red River near Georgetown, and the Blue Earth River from Mankato south to Elmore, Faribault County on the Iowa state line are all reported to be landbird migration corridors but need further study. The Marsh River in Northwest Norman County from Anthony northwest to its junction with the Red River near Shelly has a forested corridor along its banks and is likely a landbird corridor but needs additional study. Many waterfowl corridors such as various chain-of-lakes and close proximity large lakes acting as stepping stones for migrant ducks and geese exist throughout many portions of the state but have not been mapped out to date.
The southern (and sometimes eastern and western) shores of the larger lakes such as Mille Lacs, Leech (see Mille Lacs IBA), Minnetonka, Upper and Lower Red Lake, Vermilion Lake, Lake Winnibigoshish, and Lake of the Woods (see Lake of the Woods IBA) often act as local concentration areas and/or corridors for migrant landbirds in spring. The literature seems to be absent on whether the reverse is true in the fall for northern shores, although anecdotal data indicates that at least some western shorelines such as Mille Lacs can be used by many landbirds.
Vulnerability means the potential for a select group of species to collide with man-made structures including bridges, communication towers, and buildings.
