Getting to 'the lasts'
Can't believe the month is already over!! Yesterday we had our last round of golf and did a quick last drop in at the outlet mall. Today, we're hoping to do one last run on the beach and have one last hot tub. We'll spend most of the day packing up, cleaning the condo and loading the car.

In his REMEMBERING ORSON WELLES, Gore Vidal claims not to have seen F FOR FAKE, but a few years after FAKE was released, he wrote and hosted a superb essay-like film of his own called VIDAL IN VENICE. It deals with the history of Venice, but with many wonderful and witty digressions that reminded me a bit of Welles's film. It also illuminates some of the background for several Welles projects set in Venice, such as OTHELLO and THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. Just goes to show that great minds think alike.

The Faculty
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1998
Stars : Elijah Wood (Casey Connor), Josh Hartnett (Zeke), Jordana Brewster (Delilah Proffit), Clea DuVall (Stokely), Laura Harris (Marybeth), Shawn Wayne Hatosy (Stan), Bebe Neuwirth (Principal Drake), Robert Patrick (Coach Willis), Piper Laurie (Mrs. Olson), Famke Janssen (Miss Burke), Salma Hayek (Nurse Harper), Jon Stewart (Mr. Furlong)
"The Faculty" makes both director Robert Rodriguez and writer Kevin Williamson look like one-trick ponies--hot Hollywood commodities who can't deliver the goods over the long-haul. "The Faculty" is basically a watered-down and disappointing version of what they do best: Williamson's ability to write believable teenage characters and subvert the horror genre, and Rodriguez's ability to choreograph frenetic, adrenalized action sequences. Built on an overworked plot and filled with clichés, strained pop culture references, and less-than-stellar special effects, the movie never gets going and never ends up going anywhere--it's a tired, sci-fi/horror flick in search of a reason to exist.
The story is another reworking of Robert Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters," which was made into a movie of that title in 1994, but is best known as the inspiration for "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) and its two remakes, one in 1978 with the same title, and one in 1994 called simply "Body Snatchers." "The Faculty" also has elements of Howard Hawks' "The Thing" (1950) and its ultra-gory 1982 remake by John Carpenter, and at times it even feel like the forgettable "Disturbing Behavior," which opened earlier this year.
Williamson has certainly borrowed before, and one of his talents as a screenwriter has been his ability to subvert the audience's genre-induced expectations. Unfortunately, here it comes off like he's just stealing, and when his characters purposefully and articulately reference the sources of his material, it feels like a cheap cover-up--"Look, Ma, I'm not really stealing because I'm admitting it in carefully placed pop culture references."
Williamson re-envisions the alien invasion of human bodies at Harrington High, a small, dilapidated, football-enthusiastic Ohio high school. This is familiar territory for Williamson, as he is best know for the ironic teen slasher "Scream" films and his recent adolescent angst TV drama, "Dawson's Creek." Although it seems plausible that Williamson could somehow make the alien abduction story work in either satirical or metaphorical terms (as most of the previous "Body Snatcher" incarnations did), the story is surprisingly straightforward and dull. There's no real twist or surprise--what you see is what you get.
It all starts when several Harrington teens begin to notice that many of the faculty members aren't acting like themselves. The six major characters are a "Breakfast Club"-style mishmash from all levels of the popularity strata: there's geeky Casey (Elijah Wood), who gets beat up regularly before school; Zeke (Josh Hartnett), a slacker who sells homemade drugs and is repeating his senior year even though he's a closet science genius; Stan (Shawn Wayne Hatosy), the captain of the football team who suddenly quits because he wants to focus on academics; Delilah (Jordana Brewster), Stan's ultra-bitch girlfriend who's involved in literally every extracurricular activity the school can offer; Stokely (Clea DuVall), the rebellious loner with too much eye makeup who pretends to be a lesbian even though she has a crush on Stan; and Marybeth (Laura Harris), the recent transfer student from Atlanta with a cheery Southern draaaawwl that sets her apart from her Midwest counterparts.
One might think there would be some interesting interaction among this eclectic group of teenage social types, but there is little to speak of beyond four-lettered insults and cruel-hearted glares. Truth is, Williamson failed at what he usually does best: creating characters worth caring about. The six teenagers at the heart of this movie are so callous, rude, sniveling, or dumb, that one begins rooting for the marauding aliens to might take them over and turn them into more watchable characters.
Williamson also neglected to give logic and consistency to his plotline. Most importantly, the film never makes clear the effect on the person once the parasitic invader has taken over his or her body. In the case of Coach Willis (Robert Patrick, best known as the T-1000 from "Terminator 2"), he is turned from a foul-mouthed lout into a more sensitive, understanding soul. Once the aliens take over the mind of Miss Burke (Famke Janssen), on the other hand, she exchanges nerdy glasses and an awkward shuffle for a pose better associated with an experienced prostitute on "The Jerry Springer Show." Mrs. Olson (Piper Laurie) just looks robotic, and Principal Drake (Bebe Neuwirth) doesn't seem to change much at all.
The underlying problem with "The Faculty" is that it has no coherent vision of what is supposed to be scary. Abel Ferrara's 1994 version of "Body Snatchers" was a small masterpiece of shadowy paranoia and the fear of losing your human emotions. John Carpenter's remake of "The Thing" preyed best on the fear that the person standing next to you might not be who you think he is; some of its best shock tactics involved putting all the characters together and revealing the alien's true whereabouts. "The Faculty" is more like a grab-bag of tricks: a little jump-out-of-the-corner scare here, some paranoia there, none of which congeals. It is composed of elements from many better movies, and it comes across like a bad imitation--a blurry photocopy.
There is one scene where the six teens are one-by-one sniffing Zeke's homemade drug to determine if any of them have been taken over (apparently, this drug kills the alien parasites--how convenient). Although the scene is taken right out of "The Thing," for those few moments, the movie starts to work. You know--you just know--that one of the characters is going to burst out in spasms after sniffing Zeke's white powder, and Rodriguez creates real tension with the pacing and editing.
Unfortunately, the rest of the film comes nowhere close to this scene, especially the last 20 minutes, where the FX take over. As a director and editor, Rodriguez is best at putting together intense shoot-em-up's that escalate with each cut--just look at "Desperado" (1995) or "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996). "The Faculty," however, doesn't give him a grandiose setpiece to work with; instead, he is left with smaller bursts of violence that he tries to inflate beyond their capacity, and they end up bursting in his face. Much like the movie as a whole.

Skidmore College students raise money for Camp Little Notch with FemFest 2012 events (WITH VIDEO)
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Skidmore College students raised nearly $2,800 for Camp Little Notch in Fort Ann with a series of events last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
FemFest 2012 — which featured a battle of the bands, a silent auction, spoken-word performances and a one-woman show — was planned by students in a course that studies women throughout history called Disorderly Women. The course's professor, Beck Krefting, chose Camp Little Notch, a girls camp that celebrates diversity and community, as the beneficiary of her course's service learning component.
"We were looking for something that somehow paralleled what we were learning in class," Michelle Tarkulich, one of Krefting's students, said of the service learning project. "Camp Little Notch, because they're so inclusive in their goals, was a really good organization for us to partner with."
The money raised during FemFest and by ongoing online fundraising by students will help Camp Little Notch offset the cost of financial aid for would-be campers from low-income families.
The students' goal is to raise a total of $5,000, and they will continue fundraising by soliciting donations via email. Donations can also be made directly to Camp Little Notch through the camp's website, www.CampLittleNotch.org.
Tarkulich said putting on the event taught students important lessons in building bridges between the college and the community.
"I think we learned a lot about ways that we as Skidmore students can connect with the outer community, whether it be the Saratoga community or the larger community or the Camp Little Notch community," she said.
Seth Johnstone, another of Krefting's students, agreed, adding that he hopes more events that bring students and the community together can be planned.
"It would be great to see the two, the campus and the town, get more connected," he said.

E-Fit released of man wanted after Grays assault
12:45pm Sunday 22nd April 2012 in Basildon news
Detectives have released an efit of man who is wanted in connection with an assault in Grays.
The attack happened when a 41-year-old man was walking through Grays Park off Bedford Road shortly before 9am on Monday, March 26.
He was approached by two men who asked him for a cigarette. When he refused, they threatened him with violence, forcing the man to hand over a cigarette. When he did, he was punched in the face anyway. The attackers both walked off towards Clarence Road.
Investigating Officer, Dc Emma Henderson, said: "This man was walking to walk when this attack happened in clear daylight. The efit is fairly distinctive so we're hoping someone can give us the name of the individual so that we can arrest him and at the same time identify his friend arrest him too."
The assailant pictured in the efit is described as being of mixed heritage, in his early 20s, has short black hair, dark eyes, is of slim build and is approximately six foot tall.
A search of the area was carried out at the time by police, but to no avail.
Anyone with information in connection with this robbery is urged to contact detectives at Grays police station on 101.

4. | stupid bitch | ||
A female that acts and is a know it all, who causes drama, just because she has no life, and is filled with toxicity by creating in the legal since, slander, defamatory comments, and /or libel. A stupid bitch is one that uses rumors to present the other person in a false light.
5. | Stupid Bitch | ||
My stupid cunt of a Wife. God damn it Gloria, you stopped taking birth control? You stupid bitch!
A female described as being a pain in the ass, starts all kinds of drama, is the type of female many guys view as cheap p*ssy, and usually known as throwaways when a guy is done dealing with low class female with no standards. These types of females are usually known as chickenheads, project hoodrats, and trailer park bimbos. That stupid bitch is always trying to kill my mojo with that person.

IDs (NUMBER) vs. Codes (VARCHAR2)
Monday, July 27, 2009
A slightly different way of putting that is Surrogate vs. Natural keys.
Not that I really want to get into the entire discussion...but I will...a little.
On Friday having a discussion with a developer friend after I showed him my Party model. It's all about boozing it up. OK, wishful thinking on my part, it's just a database design based on the Party (or Entity) Model. I've pondered it
I'm not planning on debating the merits of the Party Model. I do like it though, it seems to me a natural end point. It does not take into account testing of the design, nor does it take into account places where you might denormalize...and many choose to denormalize by keeping addresses in line with people or organizations.
On to my point.
To maintain data integrity without using Check constraints, I'll create a small lookup table.
Perhaps a few others. ADDRESS_CODES, as the name suggests, would use a code as the key, a VARCHAR2. HOME, WORK, OTHER, etc. Same goes for the others.
I posted my query on twitter Friday morning and received a pretty solid response from 4 people.
The response was swift:
Which was exactly what my conversation with my friend had led to.
In this case, why would Natural keys, VARCHAR2s, be bad.
1. If a user enters them in, they could misspell something, CELL would be CLEL or something. Fair enough.
2. If #1 happens, you just fix the name field instead of the key.
So I started to come around to it, until I got to STATES. States have a 2 letter abbreviation. Why not use that? It's not like they'll change (hah!) right?
Perhaps a distinction is in order then. If it's user entered content, then use a surrogate key. If not, use the supplied code.
I don't know. Is this just my personal preference? Is there a standard? What do you do?
>States have a 2 letter abbreviation.
>Why not use that? It's not like
>they'll change (hah!) right?
Depends on the scope of your data model, I guess. German Länder may not conform to your 2-character standard. :-)
I get your point, though, and that's why data modeling can be fun, right up to the point that it makes you want to tear out your hair. I still like the surrogate in this case, but that might be dangerously close to the dreaded Rule Of Thumb...

In the case of states, you want each state in there exactly once. So you want a unique constraint on upper(state_name). And maybe some regexp constraint to make sure you don't get 'South Dakota' and 'South-Dakota' in there. The state name may change.
Then I'd have the official US postal service abbreviation as an attribute. There is a good chance you'll end up using it to send out letters, after all.
I see that the abbreviation isn't actually unique for the "military states" (armed forces overseas), so that can't be a key.
On the other hand, there's no need for a surrogate key to be numeric (eg GUIDs). If the table has fixed content, there's no requirement for the surrogate to be system generated (eg a sequence).
For an even simpler example, how about the 'codes' M and F for Male and Female. [I've worked with Medical Apps that also had U for Unknown and O for Other, but lets keep it simple.]
Now, say I expect to offer a vaccination to females aged 18. Is it better to code that with
1) a hard-coded value of 'F'
2) a hard-coded value of 'FEMALE', check the surrogate key for that description and use that. Bear in mind, they may change the description to 'Female' and it will break.
3) a hard-coded value of an arbitrary numeric surrogate key.
And we can even argue about the benefit of it being hard-coded as a literal or a parameter/bind variable :)

Yeah, tear your hair out is right. How much time do you spend trying to make it bullet-proof? Naturally, obvious things like this...but a better solution might be to get the USPS data and just use that.

How did I know you were going to say that? I went to that exact link you provided...and conveniently ignored the military codes.
You bring up a very good point though, something that I haven't been quite able to articulate.
Is SELECT * FROM people WHERE gender = 'M' better/worse than SELECT *
FROM people
WHERE gender = ( SELECT gender_id
FROM gender_tables
WHERE gender_desc = 'F' );

I think there's also the issue of consistancy.
So, I have phone types of 1,2,3 instead of Cell, Home, Office.
Cool. Makes sense. I might want to change Office to Work, Cell to Mobile, etc, as you noted in the original post.
In the case of states, yeah, you cna completely use the MA, NH, SD etc, but then you've got some tables designed one way, and others designed another way.
Thats fine if there's a benefit, but there really isn't.
Regarding the gender issue, if you are assuming that you know the 'code' for the gender in the query, then you can just as easily write
SELECT * FROM people WHERE gender = '1'
The question is, do you know the code (F, 1, whatever) or do you only know what it represents?
For example, you might know that, right now, the description for women is FEMALE.
You have no idea what it used to be, (maybe it was W for WOMAN, or, something really strange), but you know now that the description is 'F'or 'FEMALE'.
No matter how off the code itself might be, you know what things are now.
OK, wow, that last bit was a bit unfocused, more coffee please.

I'm not necessarily buying the consistency thing. If it makes sense, the codes are immutable, why not? Makes the query a bit easier to read plus you avoid a possible lookup when inserting records. I think I'm going to have to add a Part II to this one.
Is the devil in the details? I don't know...

Missed this one, but I'll still comment asd it is very pertinent.
Put me squarely on the surrogate key side.
Maybe not for everything. I actually expand the "user-entered=>surrogate, non-user-entered=>natural" selection a bit more:
- displayed in any shape of form, then use surrogate.
- non-displayed (not even in hidden variables), then use natural keys.
Why? Let me give you an example.
An external services org recently made a "confidential" employee survey at our company.
When they published the report with the results, they had a web page with the names of each manager/director as a-links, with the corresponding details page for each person as the resulting page.
What was in the report's page code for each of the hyperlinks? A piece of javascriopt code with the directly coded employee number of each and every director!
Which means now anyone could pick that empno, go to the survey entry screen, type a query in the url with the number and read their survey entry!
Not bad for a "confidential survey", eh?
All because someone forgot to tell coders that employee confidential information used as natural keys and shoved into a public page might be a bad idea...

That sounds like a Daily WTF entry to me.
It also sounds like a perfectly reasonable advertisement for surrogate keys.
- non-displayed (not even in hidden variables), then use natural keys.
That's one I was thinking about addressing in a future post. Here's my example, you have a TRANSACTION table, the kind where you store financial transactions (a ledger perhaps?).
You store the absolute value of the currency. But I would want a DEBIT or CREDIT attribute to figure out if it's a postive or negative. Further, is it CASH, CREDIT_CARD, PAYPAL or other? I prefer natural keys on these tables as it makes it easier for the app dev people (PL/SQL or other) to INSERT the data. They don't have to worry about which key it is, they can just put the literal (well, not a magic constant) in there.
These natural keys would be maintained solely by DBA/Developer types, never to be seen by the light of day (minus reporting perhaps).

This is concerning archivemode, so I'm almost afraid to ask.
I want to enable multiple downloads in kplaylist 1.8.502.
Running my own server: Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 MySQL 5.0.51a
Can't get it to work with zip as preferred archiver.
I searched the forum and tried every suggestion that seemed relevant but nothing solved my problem.
In the script I did:
$cfg['archivemode'] = true;
The archivers are:
$archivers = array();
$archivers[] = array(1, 'zip', '/usr/bin/zip -j -0 %D "%F"', 'application/zip', 'zip');
$archivers[] = array(1, 'tar','/bin/tar cf %D --files-from "%LIST"', 'application/x-tar', 'tar');
When I select tar as Preferred archiver in kplaylist – Options, everything works smoothly.
So it looks like my tmp-directory setting's OK and the directory is writable.
($cfg['archivetemp'] = '/tmp/';)
When I select zip or zip inbuilt something goes wrong:
When I use the Download/Album or the Download/Selected button, a small window opens with the name of one albumtrack and the message:
Could not create archive! and nothing else happens.
Then I did: $cfg['archivemodedebug'] = true;
This time, when I use the Download/Album or the Download/Selected button, the small window opens with the name of one albumtrack but nothing else.
No message, no commands. No clues.
/usr/bin/zip is there and executable for "Others"
Even did a chmod 777 on it to make sure. Didn't help either.
What could be wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Two Men Shot at My Place Bar & Lounge
Neither of the injuries were life-threatening, police said.
A 45-year-old man was hospitalized after being shot at My Place Bar & Lounge early Saturday morning, a fire department representative said. Another man was grazed by a bullet, but was not seriously injured.
Anne Arundel County Fire Department spokesman Lt. Jack Beall said the 45-year-old man was transported by ambulance to Maryland Shock Trauma in Baltimore. The incident occurred at My Place Bar & Lounge in Odenton at about 1:25 a.m., Beall said.
Anne Arundel County Police spokesman Lt. Doyle Batten said the doorman of the bar was shot in an extremity by a customer. A bystander was also struck, possibly by a grazed bullet, Batten said. However, none of the injuries were life threatening, he said.
Batten said authorities have a suspect, but have not yet made an arrest. The investigation is ongoing.
This is not the first act of violence that has occured near the My Place. Community groups in 2011 sought to block the renewal of the bar's liquor license following a triple shooting in the vicinity. The county liquor board allowed the bar to retain the license and the bar remained opened.

Nice try, Frank Smith. My Place is not in Jessup. It's right here in the hood we call Odenton...at least over in that part of town on the "other side of the tracks"...literally...that whole area needs to be imploded and the people in it sent back to PG County.

Ouch Mary! I purchased a home in Seven Oaks two years ago...we came from White Marsh. Needless to say, I WAS quite unhappy about My Place and wish I had taken more notice of it because I may not have purchased a home here. Too late now! I hope to move in Piney Orchard when the market improves. That whole strip from the Dunkin Donuts down to the 295N Entrance is run down and awful!
6:44 pm on Saturday, January 19, 2013
Yes - same here. We purchased a home three years ago, unaware at the time that My Place was virtually in our backyard. We are ready to do whatever it takes to get involved and see that My Place gets shut down (or moved to another location...).
6:49 pm on Saturday, January 19, 2013
Also - we were some of the people who signed the petition to revoke the liquor license, but were unable to make it to the hearing because of a trip out of state. We heard later that not enough people were there to testify to the utter wretchedness of My Place. We were disappointed, to say the very least.
6:53 pm on Saturday, January 19, 2013
Mary, i agree....That process in 2011 was a joke and the AA liquor board is one of the seediest organizations in the county. They found every administrative excuse possible to invalidate hundreds of local community signatures on pages and pages of petitions then validated that by saying there was a lack of turnout during the hearing that happened at around 5:00 on a weeknight. I don't know about anyone else, but no way I'm getting to downtown Annapolis that time of day after work....I guess going to the local community board meeting and expressing concern then signing the petition is meaningless involvement.
7:19 pm on Saturday, January 19, 2013
Listen to yall... you can't blame the building or the owners for actions of the patrons. I don't see anyone trying to shut down these church's where young children r being raped and taken advantage of. Nor do I hear of anyone shutting down Catholic schools for molesting the students.. I'm just saying things like this happen all over the world. Did they shut the the movie theater after the shooting during the Batman Movie?
5:41 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
I have to say you do make a good point. I do believe that it is not about the bldgs...or always what the place is attempting to attract. I have been in My Place a few times, and I'm an upstanding, law abiding, school involved parent, full time worker, who just wanted a quick night-cap. Was it a seedy place, ummmm yeah as far as the decor....but people were in there shooting pool, doing karaoke, etc....People get shot everywhere...Now do I wish it would be shut-down? yes.....but along with all the other establishments that make 175 look so darn ghetto...that includes the XX stores, 6 liquor stores are not necessary, motel, Star Inn, 5 tattoo parlors, etc. But guess what america, it's outside of a military base and that's what you get...... BUT I won't be going there anymore, I'll just go to Fridays or something if I want a night-cap:)

Pardon me, but you absolutely CAN hold the owners or renters of a commercial space responsible for the type of crowd they attract. Dirtbag people hang out at dirtbag bars, plain and simple. I really hope that the residents of the surrounding area are successful in shuttering this place for good. That area, 10 years ago, was a great place to live and raise a family, but a very shady element has moved in with the large amount of subsidized housing in the area. You have to hold the businesses and residents of your community to a high standard or else you wind up living in a ghetto before you know it.

Decent people pay good money to live in this area. We don't need places like this within walking distance of where our neighbors' children get on their school buses, especially when there is nothing anywhere nearby where teenagers or twenty-somethings can safely congregate to enjoy themselves. Odenton has no bakery--no jewelry store--no candy store or stationery or soda shoppe or non-racist hair salon (I walked into Hair on You just once, without knowing it was a "blacks only" establishment, and was immediately made to feel so uncomfortable that I never went back again). Odenton has none of the any of the kinds of places that small towns usually promulgate for family entertainment or services. Why do we have so many bars and liquor stores--and since we have no legitimate bookstores, why do we need "adult" movie stores? They want to put yet another "convenience" store at Bluewater and 175--because the 7 Elevens and Royal Farms aren't enough?
Is the county's argument that we have all these seedy stores and strip clubs and rundown motels for the pleasure of the soldiers at Ft. Meade? Fine--then move those things on base.I will sell my house as soon as I can break even on it, and would've done so not long after I moved in, if the bubble hadn't burst. This area gets worse instead of better every day.

I sympathize with homeowners in the Seven Oaks community, I really do, but the surrounding area, from the "boomtown" strip on one side to Pioneer City on the other, has been seedy since long before the Seven Oaks community was built. It's unfortunate that having a nice housing development there hasn't positively influenced the area enough to change it much.
Carol B
3:27 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
Diane, when I moved here in 2005, I was at the mercy of my realtor (Long & Foster), since all I knew about MD was that 95 ran through the middle of it. I remember being apprehensive when he drove me up 175 to Seven Oaks around dusk, and I saw the deserted businesses and generally rundown properties that lined the main corridor. (I wondered where the h--- we were going, and was a bit frightened for my own safety.) Then he turned into the complex, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was attractive--nicely landscaped, well kept. He assured me that the mess I'd seen on 175 was going to be redeveloped as part of the same initiative--and he never told me that within walking distance of the north end of the complex was one of the worst neighborhoods in Anne Arundel County. There was a sign at 175 and 32 that promised imminent development of a "town center" that still doesn't exist, and (seeing what Seven Oaks looked like then) I wrongly assumed that the planners would continue their improvements. One by one, my former neighbors have left, and sold to anyone who could come up with the money. The new owners/tenants don't mow their lawns or trim their bushes; they leave litter in the parking lot and on the sidewalks; and the "landscapers" let weeds proliferate in the expansion joints of the sidewalk and curb. I have found things in the common area that I would blush to report here. It isn't a slum--yet--but it's headed that way.
Diane in Odenton
3:47 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
Carol B - Housing prices are going up so hopefully you will be able to sell soon without a loss. It's such a shame that the community has gone downhill the way you describe. It's maddening just hearing about it. I wish you luck in getting out of there and into someplace that you can enjoy.
Carol B
3:55 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
Thanks, Diane. They say the *sales* have increased, but the values are actually going *down* (because of all of the new construction around here). Ain't that a kick in the head? My house was still way under water the last time I checked--and I didn't buy beyond my means by any stretch of the imagination. I have a good, reliable agent watching over me, though, and am doing what I can to get the house ready to go on the market in the meantime. Thank you for the good wishes. "Your lips" (or fingers, in this case) "to God's ears," as my mum would've said!

At the end of the day, the bigger issue is that socioeconomic status is equal to the kind of neighborhood and school u get. My husband and i dont make alot of money. So we could only afford housing in this area. We looked everywhere. Now i make 20K more and i pray its enough to get us out of this terrible neighborhood.
Carol B
3:36 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
I bought at the peak of the housing bubble, when a garage would've cost me $50K more, and if you didn't offer the owner more than the advertised price of the house, you had no hope of being the successful offeror. Piney Orchard was untouchable. What I didn't know then was that it was a development--not a neighborhood--and that the character of the complex would change so rapidly that I would very soon feel neither safe nor welcome here.
3:50 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
I'm interested in getting heavily involved in this community and the surrounding areas. Does anyone know where I could start? I've lived in Odenton since 2006 and unfortunately have seen too many of these stories for me to sit around and expect something to be done without my involvement. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I'm utterly sick to my stomach that a community with hard working, clue color citizens has to constantly read these articles and see this type of unacceptable behavior in the area. Call me old-school, even though I'm only 33, but this community needs to really get together on these topics and start putting up more than petitions. Action is REQUIRED, and I for one intend to start today.
4:13 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
I am with you, Andre - I'm ready for action! I don't know where to start, but I'm willing to do what it takes.
2:05 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Brian, clearly a typo on my behalf....Come on.... Blue Collar Citizen.

Andre, It clearly was a typo but could have gone a couple of ways. That is why I asked. :-) I didnt want to jump to the wrong conclusion. :-)
Carol B
4:01 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
Andre, that's part of the problem. I was involved in the effort to refuse renewal of the liquor license to the establishment mentioned (as were some of the others who posted above). The county declined to hold the bar accountable for the actions of its patrons. You have only to look to that sterling example of Anne Arundel County leadership, John Leopold, to figure out why that might be so. I applaud your sense of initiative, but I think you will have an incredibly tough row to hoe. We couldn't even get them to give us a doggie park . . . though Crofton and other more affluent communities have them.
Carol B
5:11 pm on Monday, January 21, 2013
Case in point. I have two dogs. I also regularly clean up after them (and have a can full of proof to show anyone who doubts it). I just went out to find a deposit on my front walk--probably from the heavyset young woman who lives elsewhere, but brings her mottled pit bull to this area to do his business near our mailboxes, and leaves it where it lies. I've picked it up a number of times, so that my neighbors wouldn't step in it. Yesterday, I caught her at it, and asked her to clean up after her dog. The "present" probably came from her--everyone here knows whatever droppings they found were not from my animals. Why should I have to tolerate such behavior???

Why would someone buy here based on his/her real estate agent's advice? Clearly the agent had a monetary stake in your decision. Why not do your OWN research? It is NOT your real estate agent's fault. This is *not* a "bad" neighborhood. Try living in Baltimore City.
The establishment in question attracts an element, and should be shuttered. But the whole Seven Oaks neighborhood hasn't gone to crap due to it, or due to the strip on 175, or due to Pioneer City. They were ALL there long before Seven Oaks!
If you saw the strip, and bought anyway, ignoring your own doubts, because your real estate agent told you to, and you are unhappy, it is your OWN fault!

How quick some of us are to pass judgment. I had three days to find a house (living approximately 700 miles away) and a very pregnant dog at home to worry about. I had no *choice* but to rely on my agent's knowledge of the area--because I was going to new position not terribly far from here in mileage (but far more commute than he said it would be nonetheless). I'm glad you can be so persistently smug in your persistent self-righteousness, Calique. I don't respond to your posts; please do me the courtesy of not responding to mine.
1:16 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
D'oh!! Too late!! I am responding! ;)
It is completely understandable that you had a lot on your plate at the time, and I am sure your agent did the best for you that he or she could have under the circumstances!
Yet you still seem to BLAME him/her for your "predicament" and your feeling unsafe and unwelcome
Not everything works out the way we'd like, but seeking to learn from an experience, taking a little personal responsibility, and finding some positivity go a long way toward having a more pleasant outlook.

It doesnt matter whose fault it is. The neighborhood is shoddy. I take responsibility bcuz I did research and even spoke to someone i thought i could trust. However, their idea of a nice neighborhhod i quickly found was different than mine. I have learned- buy a home where the demographic is more diverse, people own and not rent, and pay close attn to the neighbors!

Calique- I agree with you that the neighborhood itself is NOT bad. I have the privilege of living next to very good neighbors. The people on my block are quite respectful and a pleasure to live near. As you mentioned, places such as "My Place" attract suspect people. These same people wander into our neighborhoods, or drive through spilling everything and anything into the streets. I've seen puke, McDonalds-Popeyes-KFC etc bags all over the neighborhood. One may ask how I know its them doing this. Well, for one, I've seen people driving home, many times, leave the establishment and take routes through my neighborhood. It's only a matter of time until one day, someone decides to stop inside of one of these streets, and go after innocent bystanders. Actually, I believe this has already happened. Comparing any neighborhood to Baltimore City is just plain dumb. If that is your opinion of a city we should compare our neighborhoods to, then every neighborhood outside of the city is upstanding, which you know is NOT true. There are ignorant people all over, but having these establishments in our neighborhood WILL cause this area to go downhill. No way around it.

The sad part about the situation is that I'm SURE there are respectful people that actually go to that bar. It's ashame that a few bad apples have to ruin it for everyone. If I were patrons of that bar, I'd be especially mad at this situation. At the same time, why continue going to a bar knowing that there is gun activity always nearby? I know this can happen anywhere, but people have to start looking at the odds of things like this happening over and over again. One time, I get it, it can happen, but 2, 3, 4, etc? Come one mannnnnn. Lets get real here.

If you are out drinking you are not going to take the main roads back - you are going to use neighborhood streets. That's why this happens on the seven oaks side and not as much on the blue water parkway side of the Oaks' community.

7OaksMom and Andre, I think you both recognize that "safe" is a relative thing. Seven Oaks is not dangerous--for the most part--though if you ask the people whose windows were smashed and tires were stolen (the car left up on cement blocks), they might have a different opinion--as do I, having had my car "keyed" three times (with $6,000 worth of damage, all told), my Christmas lights cut through twice, been threatened by a renter with a criminal record who was subsequently evicted, heard the ex-husband of another renter kicking her sliding doors in, had someone on my front doorstep screaming obscenities (without provocation) one Saturday afternoon, and so on. In my estimation, that does not constitute a "good" neighborhood. Any area can be infiltrated by whatever surrounds it, but good neighbors look out for one another, and that doesn't seem to happen here either. I've let people know that they have flats or left their car doors open, etc. (I see it when I walk my dogs) without so much as a "thank you." I've tried to encourage people I see gardening with compliments on their work, and given presents to some of the children around here. No one could say I haven't tried. It's not a community. It's a number of families sharing similar addresses.
2:23 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Carol B, much agreed. It's quite ashame that you have gone through what you have. Like I mentioned before, fortunately, I have had the privilege of living near neighbors that cut my grass when I'm out of town, collect my fedex packages if I'm not home, etc. These same neighbors are both renters. I hope they never leave, but with renting comes risk in the next tenant I guess. Fingers crossed. It's really up to the people renting to make sure they allow only the right persons in. I know that I intend to put my home up for rent as well, but I'll be sure that the people that move in are professional people with respect. Unfortunately, others don't seem to care.
Carol B
2:54 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Exactly, Andre. That's the sort of neighbors I'm used to--but not the kind I have here, for the most part. I've helped others shovel out (though I have a good 20 years on most of the people here) with no offer from them to help me (one kind young man excepted). I've mowed the grass and shoveled the walkway and porch many times for a single neighbor who promptly (and untruthfully) repaid me by accusing my dog of biting her daughter--he jumped up on her because she ran toward me squealing about a present her father had given her (though I'd told her hundreds of times not to run or yell around anyone's dogs, because they see it as threatening), and his claws grazed her bare leg, (The mother was inside the house at the time.) The people who lived here when I moved in were quite the opposite--friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. I have nothing against renters per se, as long as they treat the properties they occupy and the people around them with respect--but the ones we seem to get around here are more often of the "human termite" variety--with no respect for anyone or anything--and judging by how infrequently the owners pay their HOA fees or maintain their properties, they're nowhere nearly as responsible as you are, Andre. I will rent out my house if I have no other choice as well, but having spent as much time and effort as I have on the interior and exterior, it won't be to people who will destroy it--or annoy the people I leave behind.

I kind of agree. Do u live on the Kids Ink side? I feel like i have heard similar tales from friends over there. Shameful. I can relate though, because my neighbors car was broken into and my friends motorcycle stolen.. Now i dont feel as safe. Its crazy how i see people running at night or walking their dogs at 5 am despite the crime!
Carol B
2:37 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
No, I'm nowhere near Bluewater--but we've had a rash of vandalisms here, and I likewise worry for the people I see jogging before sun-up, and the little ones who are outside playing on their own (often in the parking lot) when the race-car drivers come tearing through here at all hours. I remind the kids I know to watch out for cars, and to play on the sidewalk, but I'm hesitant to say anything to the others (having been regaled by a series of four-letter words from a group of girls no older than 7 or 8 who were singing a rather raunchy song, for telling them the lyrics weren't very nice--something about "I want to be your whore" and worse). Where I come from, if an adult in the neighborhood tells a child anything for his or her own good or safety, the appropriate response is "Yes, sir/ma'am," or "I'm sorry, sir/ma'am"--not "eff you." There are, thank heaven, some nice people here, and maybe things will change because of them. But with every other house occupied by transient renters who in many cases have been subjected to nothing even resembling a background check, positive change is difficult to promote. One rule of good neighborship is that you don't sell to the first person who makes an offer, regardless of his or her character, and stick your old friends with a problem--but that doesn't seem to operate here.

Carol.... calique is kinda right tho. Unless you knew your Realtor on a personal level....you shouldn't take their word as gospel. The could be just trying to make a sale. I grew up in pioneer city. Im 36 now. We moved to Columbia in the early 90s. That area near reece road and 175 has always had a bad rep. Even back when I lived there. But everything is relative. Compared to most places in bmore city...the reece road and 175 corridor is like beverly hills. Me personally....if i moved 800 miles away for a new job I might be inclined to maybe rent something for 6 months or a year before buying if I had suspicions about the area. Before buying my first home in columbia...I had lived in areas in columbia that supposedly had a bad "rep" too. The irony of it is...the crime rate in these areas was miniscule. Just goes to show everything is relative.

to you dumbazz folks that don't know... crimes will thrive in the best of communitys... some just more low key.... but to shut down a bar is just pointless.... i can tell you from living in the area and knowing most that's involved in these crime's That the problem starts way before they get to that bar.... also it's been plenty of times i been in there and the so called security performed no pat downs for known locals and i seen pistols first hand.... pcp......weed ...and crack deals.... becuz its allowed..... so of course it would get out of hand...... the only person that's at fault is the owner..... communitys around the bar has its own problem .... severn oaks been a place of drugs among kids.... and literally everyother community around.... but its been like this way before the bar.... lmao...alot of you are green.....

Over the last 20 years or so, I've spent time in just about every bar in the Odenton/Severn area (except My Place) and I've NEVER ONCE seen a gun on anyone nor have I seen drug dealing out in the open. You're making an even stronger argument for closing this bar down since you say these things are quite common there.
3:44 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
There are so many inaccurate points in your post, it drives me nuts. First of all, saying crimes will THRIVE in the best of community's is ridiculous. Sure, there is crime everywhere, but what kind of crime are you speaking of and at what rate? If you are comparing 1 murder to 10 murders and are classifying this as the same crime, you are sadly mistaken. Are you for or against this place staying open, bc by the post you have just made, it appears you are confused. I agree that its the owners responsibility, but money makes people ignorant to what's important. Do you feel as though it is OK to have these dealings happening in your bar? Why continue to go there if you see this? I just dont understand.

Tony, the realtor was recommended to me by a friend (also a realtor) with whom I'd worked before he went into that business. John--my friend--had helped me buy & sell four houses (two and two) & the recommendee worked for the same firm . . . so I naively believed that they knew one another & trusted him. John was horrified when I told him what I'd gone through with this young man (for example, not only didn't I receive a copy of the covenants before closing--he had to run from the settlement office to get them, & made the rest of us wait around while he did). I have no idea where "Pioneer City" is, nor did I even know what "Boom Town" was, until people started talking about it. Since I've worked in & near DC since I moved here, I don't have a lot of time for exploring--I only found out about the area off Jacob's Path because a fellow MARC rider (who lives there) told me that Domino's won't even deliver pizza to her house at night, it's that dangerous. I've lived in houses for all of my adult life, & as such, have rooms full of furniture & so on--it gets very expensive to keep paying to have them moved, & I didn't want the hassle of having to wait for a landlord to get a "round tuit." If I were younger & had less to transport, I'd have done exactly as you suggested, & rented for a while. But during the housing boom, rentals weren't easy to come by, either--so a number of things conspired to make me purchase the best of what I saw, in the time I had available. Never again!

All of u are hilarious. I work in the bar and never once seen a drug transaction or a gun. There r cameras all around the establishment for security and the police walk through during the weekend n make their presence known. Unfortunately seven oaks is Not the only community around there and majority of the patrons come from the neighborhoods in the area including seven oaks. Nobody can control what a person is going to do and you can't blame an establishment or its owner. The coach at penn state raped dozens of boys. Did they close down the college??? No because then all the good white folk would lose all the money n grants put into it. Sadly we live in a violent world n theres not much we can do about it. Shit happens no matter where u live. If u dont like it move. Everywhere u go ur going to have problems. Look at the tragedy in Connecticut. They did not live in a bad neighborhood or down the street from the bar or sex shop. Get over it n spend ur time focusing on landscaping ur neighborhood. From the sounds of u all complaining it needs some work done to it.

...and here is the problem. The staff and ownership turn a blind eye to the problems in the bar. They also seem to not take in interest in the neighborhood that surrounds them.
9:21 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The Penn State example is comparing apples to oranges. Penn State is an institution designed to improve society as the bar is designed to numb society. Not all bars are bad but this one seems to have bad things happen around or in it quite often. Where there is smoke there is fire.
Clean up the Bar and contribute to the neighborhood maybe then the neighbors might not be so upset.

Amen, Brian. No one objects to a business that is respectful of the community--I, for one, would welcome a "Cheers" sort of neighborhood gathering place, so long as the gatherings weren't to carry on criminal activities or behave in disruptive, disorderly, and disrespectful ways. The staff and ownership certainly *are* responsible for the atmosphere they create, and the kind of clientele they attract--and for setting limits on the kinds of behavior in which patrons can engage in their establishments. When they don't, they are not responsible members of the community--and if the "good white folk" or black folk or pink-and-purple polka dotted folk who own the business don't care about the neighborhood, their neighbors will take whatever steps are necessary to eject them. Anne Arundel Co. needs to follow the example set by the Chief of Police in Washington, DC, and close such businesses down--whether on temporary suspension, or permanently--when violence occurs on their premises. You can bet the owners would suddenly start caring about what goes on there, if there were a penalty involved!

Ummm, "funny" - cameras all around the bar and police walking around on weekends don't really make the bar sound like an upstanding or safe place.
Also - your comparison to Penn State is completely illegitimate - if things were handled the same way as there - everyone who works for your bar would be fired, even if the place wasn't closed down. And it's not the fact that there's been a shooting there - it's the fact that there's been MULTIPLE shootings on separate occasions - after a while when you connect the data points - the problem is obviously the bar.
I don't want to see the bar closed, per se, just moved. Maybe one of the other neighborhoods in the area you draw patrons from would welcome you.
1:52 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
An excellent point is that there are 2 other bars on each side of My Place, Kim's Lounge and the New Starr Inn. There has been as much violence in the New Starr Inn as has been in My Place, but never a word about shutting its doors...If one is shut down, shut them all down....

70aksowner, you'd probably have to start where we ended, if you want to get anywhere: with the Anne Arundel County Liquor Licensing Board. Tim can probably help you with the names of the people on the Odenton Planning Commission, but I'm not sure that they have much to do with it. You might want to start with Halle, the owner of the Seven Oaks complex (check your sewer and water line bill for their contact information)--but fair warning: you need to be determined, tenacious, and not easily frustrated. And you also need to be prepared to do most of their legwork for them, once you show any kind of interest. I wrote one (count them--one) letter of complaint, on my own initiative, and all of a sudden they wanted me to spearhead the campaign. I have an impossible commute, and little enough "free" time as it is. I'll be glad to help as much as I can, but I already have more than one full-time job.
8:39 pm on Thursday, April 18, 2013
Little do any of you people know the owner try's his Best to keep the nonsense out the bar I have seen with my own eyes the owner calling the cops on people who are starting trouble ... I just think it hilarious when A black person try to start a business in this neighbor it's always a problem but no one gives the owners at star inn any problem or any other ethnicity a problem but I guess that the world we live in !!!!!!!!

Celebrating the 75 anniversary of the original landmark bestseller How to Win Friends and Influence People, comes an up-to-the-minute adaptation of Carnegie's timeless prescriptions for the digital age.
Dale Carnegie's principles have endured for nearly a century. Since its original publication in 1936, his timeless classic How to Win Friends and Influence People has gone on to sell 15 million copies. Now, introducing new listeners to Carnegie's words of wisdom, comes How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age, a new guide for a new era.
Dale Carnegie could never have predicted the trajectory that new media would take, and the ways that the simple television screen would be adapted into computers and handheld communication devices. He didn't know the term "social media" and Facebook was something not even dreamed of in Buck Rogers cartoons. And yet his lessons remain relevant for everyone who communicates online today. In fact, with problems such as cyber bullying and email etiquette, we need Carnegie's help more than ever. Dale Carnegie and Associates, Inc. has re-imagined Carnegie's lasting lessons for this difficult digital age, reframing Carnegie's insights about communication, self-expression, and leadership. This book is a must-have guide for anyone who wants to find success on Facebook, Linked-In, Twitter, and any social media format today and in the future.
©2011 Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc. (P)2011 Simon & Schuster, Inc. All rights reserved.
I'm a residential remodeling contractor and love to listen to books 8-12 hrs a day while I work. It keeps me focused better than music.
"As titled, it brings the orig. to the digital age."
Having read the original how to win friends, I noticed several of the exact same stories and lessons from the original text. Still they are certainly adequate stories that are appropriate for the lessons being taught. Well written and informative. But the main theme i got is if you wouldn't say it to your mom, don't post it on the net or in any social media. The original text seemed to have more "meat and potatoes" contained within the pages. This one seems to focus on what to post and not to post in social media. If you only read one of the two books, digital age or the original title, Id suggest reading the original. When the original text focuses on appropriate "snail mail" etiquette, the new version bears the same message substituting various "social media" for "letter" If you can make that mental substitution, just read the original text and you can get 90-95% of the New version's material from the original and maybe 20% more material that was cut for the digital edition.
"Online Seminar (at home)"
I would recommend this book to people who are entering the workforce.
The example of Saddleback leather company, is a great example of how people want to be treated!
Performance dry so is much of the material
How to manipulate my digital life to meet what my corporation expects.
"Modern take on an old Classic"
For some reason, this updated version does not have the same appeal for me as the original. Yes, updated verbiage and examples are nice, but it's missing that special mannerism that was unique to Dale himself. It's not what you say, but how you say it. For that reason I give it a 3/5.
"Timeless but obvious lessons"
Communication is important in any area of life and it is a good listen but if you read the orginal version no need to get this one. Some tings are too obvious even though they are timeless.
How it teaches you things you need to have in your everyday life.
Very informative.
"Very Good Update of a True Classic"
Yes, I would listen again because I use this material in a class I teach to high school seniors. The information has helped many students learn necessary people skills
"Love it!"
I love Dale Carnegie, and his principles and I am astounded how his theories from almost a hundred years are still relevant today, this book helps make the connections of those older more traditional principle and how they could apply in this day and age.
"Solid Read; Relevant Info"
I would definitely recommend this to a friend. The information is simple to digest and relevant in today's social media driven world. That said, it was hard to discern what bits of info were from Carnegie's original book vs information that was added aside from the specific examples citing technology that didn't exist when the book was written.
Petkoff did a solid job making this feel like a conversation and not a lengthy narrative.
"Stick with the Original"
Carnegie's original How to Win Friends and Influence people is one of the best books ever written. This book is just ok and really does not provide any significant insight that the original doesn't provide.
Tell us about yourself!
"Confirms the lasting impact of Dale Carnegie"
Took the course and it had a big impact on how I view myself and others ever after.
Takes the 21 golden rules and gives updated examples. Can't believe that he originally wrote the book 100 years ago and how the material is still fresh and applicable.

Speed-flying is a completely new sport and therefore we must understand that everyone practicing it this year is a beginner. For this reason, we have striven to make the Bullet as accessible and enjoyable as possible for the new pilots who will be taking up the sport this year.
During the course of our testing, we realized that our first prototypes and the current wings on the market for speed-flying fell short of what we considered to be acceptable in terms of ease of use and comfort. Because these wings are so small and so dynamic, total beginners found it difficult to be confident with the high speed and dynamic handling that is inherent in the nature of these wings. As a result of this, we have designed the Bullet to be safe and easy to use in all respects.
We are not at all interested in pushing the limits of performance and speed in this sport, as we see this leading in the wrong direction and potentially to the failure of the sport.
SpeedFlying is dangerous. You could suffer serious injury or death as a result of using this equipment. Using this equipment improperly greatly increases the risks involved. Never use this equipment without proper and thorough instruction from a qualified instructor.
By using the Ozone Bullet, you accept all risks involved with the use of this equipment. The designer, manufacturer, distributor, and retailer cannot and will not guarantee your safety when using this equipment. You agree to not hold Ozone Gliders Ltd, nor Ozone Kites Ltd, liable for any injuries to yourself or to third parties resulting from the use of this equipment.
It is essential that you understand the proper use of this equipment before attempting to use it in any way. The Ozone Bullet, and other gliders designed for Speed Flying use, must only be launched and landed with skis in suitable ski terrain. Launching or landing the Bullet without skis is expressly prohibited and extremely dangerous
The User MUST:
- NEVER use your Bullet in a populated area or an area not approved for Speed Flying. - NEVER use your Bullet in a ski area or on a ski slope / ski piste. - NEVER use your Bullet around hazardous obstacles such as ski lifts or trees or rocks. - NEVER use your Bullet unless you have adequate safety and rescue equipment for winter backcountry travel such as avalanche transciever, shovel, probe, and other avalanche safety equipment. - NEVER use equipment if there is any damage to harness, risers, webbing, lines, cloth or stitching. - NEVER fly your Bullet in turbulent air conditions.
