text: TAYLOR, B.C. — A frightening incident led to a black bear being destroyed by Conservation Officers on Sunday after it broke into an occupied tent on Peace Island Park early that morning.Sgt. Shawn Brinsky with the Conservation Officer Service said that the C-O-S first received a call at around 2:30 yesterday morning of a black bear that was up a tree in Peace Island Park. She said that such reports are not uncommon, especially at this time of year, and that officers decided to investigate further after daybreak. At around 9:20 a.m., officers responded after getting another report from park staff of a bear that had been hanging around the area, before they learned from a camper at the park that a bear had broken through the screen of his tent at around around 1:00 a.m. The camper was not injured and scared the bear off, but the animal returned to the tent three hours later. Sgt. Brinsky said that Conservation Officers evacuated that area of the park and set several traps, one of which caught caught a bear yesterday evening in the exact same location of the tent. After looking at a photograph previously taken of a bear in a tree, measuring the paw prints on the tent and measuring the caught bear, officers came to the conclusion that the bear was most likely the same one that broke into the tent early that morning. The bear was subsequently euthanized.Sgt. Brinsky said that the incident serves as a warning to campers to keep bear attractants hidden or locked up so that the smells don't lure the animals. "There's a couple things at play here," said Brinksy. "When camping, even in Regional Parks you in and around greenbelts in this area, you have to make the assumption that you're going to be in and around wildlife, and that can include bears. You want to make sure you have a clean campsite, and that you're bear aware. We have to make that people are diligent with keeping attractants and garbage inaccessible to bears. Especially at this time of year when they're a little bit food-stressed. They're looking for food, they're curious, and they're going to check out smells and odours. A bear demonstrating that type of behaviour is something that is indicative of a bear that's been rewarded with non-natural food sources."This isn't the first close call in Northeast B.C. in recent years. Nearly three years ago to the day, 27-year-old Daniel O'Connor was found to have been killed by a black bear while he slept by a campfire just outside of Mackenzie. The bear and a wolf, which was also seen in the area were later tracked down and euthanized by Conservation Officers.With files from CBC News: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bear-attack-kills-camper-daniel-ward-o-connor-near-mackenzie-b-c-1.3069202

The President of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, HE Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, highlighted the country's development under his leadership at the 50thanniversary of Equatorial Guinea's Independence Day.
The President outlined the government's leadership during the economic crisis in the 1980's, and the following investment and development that unleashed the country's economy.
Equatorial Guinea invested and constructed paved roads, transformed rural centers intro cities, built large ports and airports for shipping and travel, developed robust telecommunications, installed access to electricity and the supply of clean drinking water, built social housing, and provided social services to the most vulnerable.
Equatorial Guinea's Independence Day was celebrated with an impressive military and political parade, and the President received personal congratulations from a number of countries, including the United States of America, China, Djibouti, France, Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria, Spain, and Tunisia, among many others.
Equatorial Guinea has made great strides since independence in 1979 on political, economic, and social levels.
Equatorial Guinea was able to properly assess the role of the country's natural resources through the National Political Dialogue, as well as focus on good governance and the appropriate application of the law, ensuring human rights for all Equatoguineans.
Equatorial Guinea has made significant advancements over the years and significant progress on human rights, including the temporary amnesty against the death penalty, the plan of action to combat human trafficking, the implementation of the Children's Parliament, the improvement of education for all Equatorial Guineans, and the complete abolition of child labor.
Equatorial Guinea has ratified numerous international conventions regarding human rights, and is active at the United Nations (UN) as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, where it strongly advocates for peace and security throughout the world. Equatorial Guinea at the UN has urged its fellow UN member states to prohibit the sale of arms to mercenaries and other organizations who are considered human rights violators.

So yesterday was my birthday. I don't know why I always dread my birthday. It has nothing to do with age. It's more a discomfort with being the center of attention, I think. Yet I am so lucky to have a family that showers me with love on this one day each year. Of course, they love me every day, but on my birthday, they bend over backwards to show me just how much. And not everyone is so fortunate. Yes, I am truly blessed!
I woke up to a text message from my oldest son, already two hours into his workday, he took a minute to send a "Happy Birthday, Mom -- and Happy Valentine's Day!" Aww... put a smile on my face, as I shuffled the younger kids out to the bus. Later in the day, I picked up my mom and we went to lunch, and then shopping for my birthday gift -- a new desk chair -- which I love! I came back home to find a voicemail on the phone. It was the entire high school choir, singing "happy birthday" to me, followed by my 18-year-old daughter saying, "Happy birthday, Mom. I love you!" Can you beat that?
When hubby got home from work, there were more surprises:
And though he disagrees, I'm pretty sure this is the first time he has ever baked me a birthday cake, in 21 years of marriage. Regardless, this meant more to me than even the cards and roses. Here he is, after a long hard day at work, slaving away in the kitchen just for ME.
Tim was in charge of sprinkles:
And if that weren't enough, I was showered with more gifts. A shiatsu massage cushion from hubby, a gorgeous leather jacket from my daughter, Kaitlin, an adorable singing lion from my son, Nathan, a Norah Jones CD from younger daughter, Emily, and a set of earrings from Tim, the youngest. I feel SO loved!
Now, how could I have actually dreaded my birthday???

Online dating match criteria
20-Aug-2017 13:53
For those who are only interested in matches with no children or with matches who have no children living with them, because most matches with children will mention them on their About Me page, you can usually determine from reading a match's About Me page if they meet your criteria or not.
Also, some parents will include their children in the photos posted on their profile.
We believe that understanding how your matching preferences affect the number of highly compatible matches you can receive will allow you to set your preferences optimally so you can get the most from your search.
As I shared in my first article, e Harmony and the Art of Match Settings: Distance, Kate and I are writing these articles to support your success.However, if you are seeking matches in this age range and answered "maybe" because you aren't sure about starting a new family, remember that you will not receive matches who answered "no." So if you aren't receiving as many matches as you'd like and you personally don't desire or have a great desire to start a new family, you may consider changing your answer to "no," and see if that provides you with more matches.Don't forget you can always change your My Setting answers or preferences at will. AGE When you take the Relationship Questionnaire, a default age range is created which we believe will optimize your success based on research findings.However, if you are still unsure about a match's situation regarding children, you have an opportunity to ask for more information during the Guided Communication process.
Also, you can always share your preference regarding children on your About Me page so your matches know upfront whether or not the two of you meet each other's criteria.
We've all heard about the benefits of drinking red wine — right?

"We have a fairly traditional program at the forum, and the main event that we are organizing is the 'Russia-US' business round table," Rodzianko said, adding that Huntsman will make a welcoming speech and will be present during the round table discussion.
Rodzianko explained that the ambassador will lead the state-level delegation at the SPIEF forum.
"I know that the US Ambassador has sent letters where he encourages the [US] companies to participate in the SPIEF. It is a very good sign, and it is really important," the AmCham Russia president stressed.
SPIEF, held annually in Russia's second largest city of St. Petersburg, is a major global platform for business communication and discussion of crucial economic issues. This year's event will take place on May 24-26.

The topic of diversity in the corporate boards of publicly-listed firms has captured the attention of various interest groups. Since 2012, at least 80 news articles in Singapore have highlighted the importance of diversity in a firm's upper echelons. While corporate boards may be diverse in various ways, much of the attention has focused on gender diversity. For instance, it has been widely reported that women occupy around 8 per cent of board seats in SGX-listed firms, a number that pales in comparison with other advanced economies such as Australia and Britain. Apart from gender, other forms of diversity have also been discussed, albeit less so. For instance, committee members from the Singapore Institute of Directors have delivered excellent discourse on boardroom diversity in terms of age, ethnicity, competency, industry experience and nationality in the weekly "Boardroom Matters" column of the Business Times. While much has been written about the benefits of boardroom diversity, it is important to note that some firms may not fully harness these benefits, thus leading to lower-than-expected performance. Costs and contingencies have to be considered when boards seek to increase the diversity of their membership. The conventional wisdom of diversity is succinctly summarized by Ms Barbara Voskamp in a Boardroom Matters article (Back to Basics: Financial Literacy for Board Members – BT 12 May 2014): "…diversity adds a greater depth of thought, experience, knowledge and perspective to a company and how it does business," said Ms Voskamp. The underlying premise is that a diverse team has access to more information or cognitive resources, thus enabling the team to consider different perspectives, deliberate on a greater variety of potential solutions to problems, and enhance decision outcomes. In Singapore, the importance of having diverse boards is institutionalized in guideline 2.6 of the 2012 Code of Corporate Governance, which states: "The Board and its board committees should comprise directors who as a group provide an appropriate balance and diversity of skills, experience, gender and knowledge of the company." The business case for board diversity is a strong one and has been extensively discussed. For instance, the Diversity Task Force has published an excellent report that made a strong case for improving gender diversity in the upper echelons of SGX-listed firms. A Diversity Action Committee has been formed to facilitate the implementation of the 10 initiatives listed in the report. While the benefits of diversity are clearly understood, the costs of diversity have not been given adequate attention in current discussions. Overemphasizing the former while overlooking the latter can lead to excessive diversity that may be counterproductive.
The costs of diversity come in various forms. For instance, increasing diversity may decrease cooperation and erode cohesion among team members, or increase communication and coordination costs that hamper the speed of decision-making.
Research shows mixed results
Diverse teams are at risk of developing fault lines, or strong divides between subgroups within a team, that may hinder team-level processes and impair performance. The genesis of fault lines comes from the tendency of individuals to associate with similar others, based on common characteristics such as age, gender, tenure, educational background, and functional expertise. Given that diverse teams have both benefits and costs, it is not surprising that research on the relationship between team diversity and performance has found mixed results. In other words, diversity does not always lead to better outcomes. Increasingly, there is growing awareness of the contingencies that influence the extent of benefits reaped from diverse teams. For instance, a study of Swiss-listed firms (Top management team nationality diversity and firm performance) found that the national diversity of top management teams has a stronger impact on firm performance for firms with more extensive international operations or when these top executives have longer shared tenure. Another study on S&P 1,500 firms in the US (Does female representation in top management improve firm performance?) found that the presence of female top executives improves firm performance when the firm emphasizes innovation in its strategy. A recent study on Fortune 500 US firms (The double-edged nature of board gender diversity) concluded that gender "diversity is double-edged because it can propel or impede strategic change depending on firm performance and the power of women directors". The "comply or explain" governance approach in Singapore eschews a one-size-fit-all perspective, enabling a firm's corporate board and its nominating committee to decide on the level and nature of diversity that best creates value for the stakeholders of the firm. As a start, it is useful to consider the contingencies under which certain types of diversity are more likely to create value for a firm.
If geographic diversification is an important strategy for a firm, then greater diversity of experience in target overseas markets may provide valuable insights that shape strategic decisions. Likewise, if women comprise a significant portion of a firm's target consumer group, then appointing more female directors may be the way forward. Other than linking board diversity to value creation through strategic initiatives, diverse boards should also institute processes to mitigate the costs of diversity. The board chair plays a pivotal role in providing leadership that creates an inclusive climate where diverse views are actively solicited and deliberated in an open and honest manner. Directors in diverse boards should also be equipped with soft skills, such as cultural intelligence, to improve cooperation and communication when relating with peers from different backgrounds. Board diversity is an important aspect of corporate governance. However, for diverse boards to be effective, corporate boards should consider developing and substantively implementing a diversity policy that takes into account the benefits, costs and contingencies of diversity.The writer is an associate professor in strategic management at NTU's Nanyang Business School Source:

App Name:BTunes by Brandon Ayers
Description:BTunes is a music player that has a similar layout to the iPhone music player and the iPod Touch music player. There are apps for both 1.6 (Cupcake) and 2.0 (Eclair) for 1.49.
How it works:BTunes is a nice audio player app. BTunes has an abundant amount of options in regard to playing music or other options like audio books or pod casts. You can easily set up any variety of playlists right in the app and operate the player in the app itself or from a handy widget from your homepage. The app is orientation aware so it plays flawlessly in portrait or landscape without interruption if orientation is changed.
It also allows for the Last.fm scrobbler (free app available on Market) which is a service that submits what you are listening to via Facebook or Twitter or other social media sites from Last.fm. So all your friends and family can now what you are listening to while you chat online. It has an embedded album art extractor so if you missing any artwork it will attempt to locate and add it. For me, it found 10 out 12 artists so quite a helpful feature. You can also make folders to add artwork as it has folder support.
Scrolling through the options and you will see there is a lot of choices to fine tune your listening experience. It has bluetooth or wired options, ability to bookmark audio books or pod casts and changing default tabs etc. If you have a lock screen it will show on your lock screen so you can pause it or change songs right from the lock screen.
Opinion:I have started to use my phone more as my mp3 player so I don't lug around multiple gadgets to get the same effect and BTunes fits the bill. The multiple features like the player in the lock screen and the bookmarks for audio books features really sold me. Plus I haven't had any lag issues as I take walks during work lunches and shifting from landscape to portrait views can cause other players to jump during a song.
Ratings :
- Speed (5/5)– Making playlists or switching screens moves effortlessly.
- Features (4/5) – Lots of options to tweak in the app.
- Theme (4/5)– Nice and clean UI. I'm not familiar with Iphone/Ipods to know how similar it looks but it works.
Overall (4.5/5) – Good speed, enough options to satisfy most audiophiles, nice and easy theme makes this app well worth it.
- Lots of options to use.
- Lock screen controls.
- Easy UI for creating playlists and selecting music.
- An equalizer would be a plus.
Conclusion: Does it's job and does it well. There are options I haven't even had a chance to touch so this app has a lot to offer. Best buck fifty I have spent on an app.

Funds provided through an appropriation by the Legislature shall be supplemental to funds provided by the federal government, and are designated to ensure program availability in the absence of and prior to the annual receipt of federal funds for this purpose.

RMHC® of Oregon and Southwest Washington provides a "home away from home" for families and their seriously ill or injured children who travel far to receive medical treatment. Portland's two Houses provide a setting in which families connect with other families, and children can meet other children going through a similar experience. During their visit, guests can stay in comfortable and livingly decorated private rooms where they can get a peaceful night's rest, knowing their child is close by.
Lane County families with seriously ill or injured children receiving treatment at Portland hospitals spent more than 1,150 nights at the two Ronald McDonald Houses® last year. This year, RMHC's outreach program will support free dental care for children in Lane County through the Assistance of League of Eugene and the White Bird Clinic.
"We believe that RMHC® of Oregon and Southwest Washington is a great cause, and not enough people around Lane County know about the great things they do for their residents," Generals GM Flint Doungchak stated. "We're happy that we can help bring awareness and donate the proceeds of our jersey auction, but there is so much more that can be done. We encourage everybody to support RMHC®, and spread the word about the great things they do for the people of Lane County."

I pulled the plug on my juice feast. My coach felt like there were some changes we could make that could keep me in the game, but yesterday seriously freaked me out. I decided I needed to stop. Last night I had some more juice and a small salad. I felt better.
Today I had actual food for breakfast and then went to class as I normally do. I think I finally have a handle on what it means to give your own personal 100%. On the outside, it probably looked like I was giving 50-75% of my normal self. But I wasn't. I was giving my 100% for that day. I wasn't completely back online yet mentally or physically after yesterday. I took it slow. I paced myself. There were times I got dizzy or felt really whacked out mentally. When that happened I sat down or did savassanah. The result was that class was fine.
For lunch today I went to my beloved Salsa Fresh and had actual cheese. I had a cheese quesadilla with a side of queso dip to dunk it in. I had chips and salsa. It was wonderful.
That said, I am not going whole hog back on the dairy. I like how I feel when I don't eat dairy. I am though implementing my new rule which says that I am vegan at home and a vegetarian/vegan when I am outside the home. I eat at home more than I eat out, and when I go to my office I often bring my lunch with me so I'll be eating more vegan meals than not.
I definitely don't consider my stopping the feast a failure. I know you all don't either, and I really do appreciate all the support I received yesterday. It meant a lot. I felt like such crap yesterday. Thanks for the kind words. I wanted to make the point about not being a failure though because it goes beyond this feast. Anytime we try something new, be it a juice feast or more Bikram classes, or whatever we never really know what to expect. Just trying it and seeing what it brings, and being open to what it brings, is important. It's how we learn and grow. I may not do a juice feast again anytime soon (or ever), but I have learned a lot about myself and a lot about juicing. Here are some things I learned:
– juicing red leaf lettuce is amazing. do yourself a favor and put it with some cucumber, lemon, and ginger.
– pineapple in green juice is wonderfully delicious
– I may get cravings for particular kinds of food, but I am capabale of not letting those cravings break me down. I can simply notice them and move on. My mind my be trying to get the best of me, but I am stronger than I realize
– Everyday is a new day and a new chance to get back up and start all over or go in a completely new direction. Enjoy the journey and pay attention.

Re: Creating a heirarchy of tables in a schema based on FK
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:16:10 -0300
Message-ID: <172762180911180616l5d99b559jf7059326b14221ac_at_mail.gmail.com>
It would appear I missed this for three oracle versions. It's a good thing I am not a developer then :-P
I have never used the on delete clause on a fk, not even on DBs I knew supported it. I usually prefer to manage that from the application.
Well, that was embarrassing enough for one day...
In that case, I would guess it would still require going through each table and modifying the constraint to add the ON DELETE CASCADE, which would be the same effort as writing a script to delete the tables in order :-P
Thanks for getting me out of an erred view on Oracle.

Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki has appeared in the trial of former PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
However, Dasuki's counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN) has opposed his testifying today due to loss of memory following his two years of incarceration.
He said the evidence to be given, is only a small aspect of his tenure as NSA, adding that he does not have "access to relevant files, records and documents required to refresh his memory of any decisions or actions he took or authorised in the course of his duties."

This Bleach Bottle Santa is my favorite Christmas Decoration. My Grandpa made it before his passing and I have to say it is one of my most treasured keepsakes. I shed a few tears each year when I hang it but they are tears of joy. I keep in my kitchen for the season and it gives me the peace that my Grandpa is with us for the holiday's. Every day of December I smile when I look at it.
I wanted to share it with you because it is such a frugal Christmas decoration but honestly he didn't "teach" me how to make it. He made hundred's of them and sold them at craft events. It is made of an empty bleach bottle, yarn, and felt.
Bleach Bottle Santa Door Decoration:
I did find a complete step by step direction on how to make it though at Thrifty Fun and wanted to share that with you.
I hope you find it as festive and fun as I do. Thanks to my Grandpa for creating it and for being the best Grandpa in the world.

My grandma had one of these and I loved it. I came across one a couple of years ago at a yard sale and had to pick it up. It may not be the one she had, but it reminds me of her whenever I see it!
I have made these for quite a few years. They are really easy to make. I had trouble finding the red material that I always used for the hat last year, so I bought a Santa hat from the dollar store, cut off the white part of the hat & used the red part for mine.
i have made these for many years. I used to have a booklet that had a bunny head, Mrs Santa, & a snowman, but have lost it & can't remember what the name of the booklet was. if anyone would know the name of it, please post it here. Thanks
I just love the santa and wanted to make it for my 3 yr. old granddaughter, but I can't figure out how to make the beard and hair. I know it's with the yarn, but I can't figure out how to place it or how the yarn is measured. Even how many rows for his beard. Are they layered on top of each other and hot glued? Just not sure on how to make it. Thank you for your time and they are lovely .

IN a cool twilight mist on the first night of the Fourth of July weekend, seven women -- Lauren, Laurie, Laura, Lisa, Jackie, Monica and Sharon by name -- were perched on bar stools at Flynn's bar here, getting merrily, determinedly drunk.
The occasion was a bachelorette party for Lauren Dean, who in eight days would add a diamond to the second finger of her left hand and ditch her old last name to become Lauren Oak. Ms. Dean, a social worker from North Babylon, wore an apron. The apron read, ''I'm the bachelorette, buy me a shot or a drink!''
It seemed obvious that the exclamation mark was superfluous. So was the need for an occasion. Reasons for drinking are rarely hard to come by in summer places, and even less so in Ocean Bay Park, a town at the midpoint of the 32-mile sand strip that is Fire Island. For proof, one might check the storage area in the bow of the ferry that conveys visitors from the mainland, Budweiser cases piled high; or observe that the ''Y'' in Flynn's is a martini glass; or survey the trash bins on recycling day overflowing with amber-colored empties; or ask a passenger waiting for one of the island's water taxis, the ones with names like Cosmopolitan or Boilermaker painted on their transoms.
''People like to drink here,'' remarked a woman leaving a taxi with a rolling suitcase whose contents clinked as she moved. ''I brought, like, five bottles of alcohol for tomorrow,'' she added, referring to the holiday weekend. ''It's all, like, girl's alcohol -- peach schnapps, Bailey's, Malibu -- stuff that guys would never drink.''
Another woman who came from Manhattan for the weekend pulled a Flexible Flyer wagon containing an 18-pound watermelon, which she had spent the week injecting with Absolut vodka, using an equine syringe.
When Henry James famously remarked that the two most beautiful words in the English language were ''summer afternoon,'' he was conjuring what many of us have come to think of as a Jamesian world of summer places, resorts where shadows fall in fat slabs on emerald croquet pitches, where women once wore tennis dresses of crisp white lawn and strangers were rarely encountered, where flags snap in fresh breezes, whitecaps scallop the glistering Atlantic and much is secure.
James could not, at any rate, have been thinking of any place like Ocean Bay Park, a scruffy town of several hundred mostly ramshackle houses clustered together, a place where people rent summer houses in fractional shares that can amount to a mat on the floor every second weekend, where wearing a clean T-shirt is considered getting dressed for the evening, where neon Miller Lite signs are hung in house windows as decoration and where the salt air is not infrequently laced with a heady combination of marijuana smoke, Guns N' Roses and the petrochemical perfume of charcoal briquets.
''People drink all day at their houses,'' Ms. Dean said. ''The happy-hour crowd drinks until they can't stand up, and then they go home.''
Ms. Dean's best friend and maid of honor, Laurie Klein, added: ''The beach people drink all day on the beach and then eat and then go to the bars. They drink at Flynn's until it closes at 2, and then they go down to the Schooner.''
When that bar shuts before dawn, the unlucky drunks who do not own or rent are forced to wander the streets, named for Indian tribes like Oneida, Seneca and Huron, in states of disheveled mortification until the first ferry back to Bay Shore arrives and they can ''get to the deli for a $5 coffee and buttered roll,'' Ms. Dean explained.
''You see them around wandering around like 'Night of the Living Dead,' said Jay Whittaker, an emergency medical technician from Brooklyn, who has been the bouncer at Flynn's for five years. Founded as a simple seafood restaurant in 1938 by John A. Flynn, the place is now run by his descendants as a waterside shrine to hedonism, with marina attached. The names of the boats docked there seem to speak of the town's atmosphere. Last week, the motor yacht Liquid Assets was tied up between the Let's Remember and the What's Not to Like?
''Put it this way,'' Mr. Whittaker said, ''Fire Island is the land of excess.''
And why not? With no cars on this part of the island, no one crashes coming home from a party. With sand all around, it is relatively painless if one falls down. With the ocean nearby, primal urges are easily excited. It does not hurt that the ratio of women to men is uncommonly high. ''Everyone who has ever spent any amount of time here,'' Ms. Dean said, ''has experienced the walk of shame.''
Lauren Drandoff, a Manhattan advertising saleswoman and longtime renter on Fire Island, said: ''I don't know why, but you come out here and even 40-year-olds are binge drinking. You have drinks at the beach, drinks at sunset, drinks at dinner. Then you go to some parties, and before you know it you're bringing pizza into a bar and doing cartwheels home.''
None of this is to suggest that every weekend at Ocean Bay Park is ''The Lost Weekend,'' or that frat house antics sum up the town. There are more families in it now than ever. Increasingly, they are drawn by the celebrated beaches and by house prices that -- with $750,000 marking the high end -- are giveaways by the standards of the Hamptons or even the Jersey Shore.
''There was a time when we were the worst community on Fire Island in terms of trouble,'' said Bartley Horton, a lifelong resident and the community manager. ''People were sleeping on the beaches, they didn't want to pay for the ferry home, there were fights, and they were walking the streets all night.''
The unruliness, for which locals blame day-trippers, became so pronounced at one point that the Suffolk County Police stepped up its presence and put up a permanent booth at the foot of the ferry dock. Five uniformed officers are now installed there on weekends, Mr. Horton pointed out. The town has its own tennis center, albeit a small one, along with a plant nursery and other gentrifying signs.
''The town has changed drastically'' over the past decade, said Rebecca Apsan, an irrepressibly opinionated and salty-tongued resident who owns a lingerie store in Greenwich Village called La Petite Coquette. ''It used to be a lot of blue-collar workers, and there's still some people like that, but they got more educated,'' she said. When some people think of Ocean Bay Park, Ms. Apsan added, ''they think of uneducated fools, all tattooed, from Long Island.''
''But we have a lot of Yalies now, which is kind of shocking in Ocean Bay Park.''
Historically, Yalies would have been found in Point O'Woods, an adjacent community separated from Ocean Bay Park by both an unsightly six-foot chain-link fence, topped with two strands of barbed wire, and by class distinctions more formidable than any ordinary barrier. Point O'Woods, the oldest settlement on Fire Island, was founded in 1884 as a Chautauqua Assembly, an association whose mission of Christian improvement evolved over generations into something more exclusive and less socially salubrious.
To buy a house in Point O'Woods, one must first have been a renter, and to become a renter one must be proposed to the association by someone who already owns. Since the 128 houses in Point O'Woods tend to be passed down the generations, turnover is rare. It is where scions of brand-name fortunes and the heads of multinational corporations go barefoot and where the cocktail of choice is more likely to be a gin and tonic than a Rocket Fuel (piña colada made with overproof rum and with amaretto floated on the top), which is the drink most often requested at Flynn's.
''We call them the Nazis,'' Ms. Apsan said of the neighboring community. ''They're so uptight.''
It is doubtful that you would ever find anyone in Point O'Woods taking the watermelon challenge, a contest involving a vodka-soaked melon, a stopwatch and a well-controlled gag reflex. You might not find anyone wearing Hawaiian shirts from Tommy Bahama, dealie bopper hats or glowsticks, or guzzling Miller Lights through a funnel.
For that matter, you are not likely to overhear an exchange like the one that took place at Flynn's between two jolly men, who would identify themselves only as a Manhattan detective and a firefighter from Queens and who were tallying their body piercings.
''I got two, a nipple and an ear,'' the detective told his friend. ''How many do you have?''
''Four,'' the fireman said.
''Yeah?'' said the detective. ''Where?''
The fireman stuck out his tongue, displaying a chrome barbell and said, ''One.'' He pointed through his shirt to his nipples and said, ''Two and three.''
''Where's the fourth?'' asked the detective, and the man replied by pointing downward.
''South?'' asked the detective.
''Yep,'' his friend replied.
''Whoa!'' the detective said.
A woman seated beside them suddenly turned to this reporter and asked, ''Isn't a conversation like this what's so fabulous about places like this?''
The question was rhetorical, but the answer, categorically, was yes.
