Set on the fish-filled shores of Abram Lake in the heart of the lush Ontario wilderness, Anderson's Lodge is a sportsman's paradise. Rent a boat and venture out onto the lake, battling a barrage of behemoth fish. Or stay dry and trek through the tree-lined trails,snapping photographs of the natural splendor. Embark on a moose hunting expedition and head back to your fully equipped cabin and lounge on the sprawling private deck.
The waters of Abram lake are teeming with trophy muskie, northern pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass; however, even experienced anglers could benefit from the expertise and local knowledge of the fishing guides.
With the assistance of an expert hunting guide, your chances of bagging a majestic moose are greatly increased; however, it's not just about hunting. Bond with your family and enjoy the stunning scenery as you wait for that trophy.

We have been tracking the Sonoma Valley Adult (55+) Community real estate market for over 20 years and have been providing reports such as this as a community service. We have found that a good table is equal to a good photo in getting a lot of information across quickly.
Reviewing 10 years of data, we see that number of units sold in Sonoma County peaked in 2004 with prices continuing to trend higher until the market peak of 2007. The following decline due to the debt and mortgage crisis of 2008 began reversing in 2012 with our having substantial gains in both market value and prices since the market bottom.
2013 was an amazing year in Sonoma's adult communities. Home sales outpaced all prior years with the greatest number of homes being offered and sold since the market peak. The makeup of homes being offered also changed substantially with a greater amount of the sample being homes of better quality – having more improvements, upgrades, and larger floor plans. Fewer distress property sales also added to the improved values received. The median values for Creekside Village/Chantarelle homes increased by $88,900. The magnitude of this reversal is partially explained by the 2012 results where values had fallen due to a greater percentage of sales being distress related or homes needing more significant repairs or upgrades.
Median values for Temelec/Country Meadows homes increased by $54,500 in 2013 following significant gains reported in 2012. Here we would argue that the market had overly discounted Sonoma Valley's original adult community during the decline, where market pessimism made for difficult times for Seller's needing to relocate.
Those in our industry who profess the ability to forecast the future have been stating that values are expected to continue to rise over the next few years, albeit at a slower rate. The usual presidential election year bump is expected in 2016 with nobody willing to project their forecasts much further. The mortgage industry is also expected to remain strong with significant, if lesser government support to keep rates at these historic low levels.
For now, we appear to be sailing on calmer seas. Market forces are more balanced between buyers and sellers, with sellers still having an edge due to limited inventory of homes offered for sale. While there are few homes offered for sale currently, we expect the inventory to build in coming months.
The headings of the chart above show data year on the vertical axis
Units Sold and prices along the horizontal axis where:
SC Tot = Total Number of sold residential transactions within Sonoma County for the year stated.
SC Med = Median price reported for Sonoma County homes (Value at which ½ of sample above, and ½ of sample below).
SV Tot = Total number of sold residential transactions within Sonoma Valley for the year stated.
SV Med = Median price reported.
CV/CH Tot = Total number of Creekside Village and Chantarelle Community sold for the year stated.
CV/CH Med = Median price reported.
Tem Tot = Temelec and Country Meadows Homes sold for the year stated.
Tem Med = Median price reported.

Microsoft collects license fees on 50% of Android devices, tells Google to "wake up"
Google's complaints about patent-based attacks against Android don't seem to be doing the company any good. We all know Steve Jobs pledged to destroy Android, claiming it stole its ideas from Apple's iOS. Yet what is likely an even bigger threat comes from Microsoft, which claims that more than half of all Android devices are now subject to patent licensing agreements.
What does that mean? When you buy an Android phone, there's a good chance either the vendor whose name is on the device or one of the manufacturers who contributed hardware to it is paying Microsoft a fee for each sale. Today, Microsoft announced an agreement with Compal, an original design manufacturer that produces smartphones and tablets for third parties and takes in $28 billion in annual revenue. This was the "tenth license agreement providing coverage under our patent portfolio for Android mobile phones and tablets," and the ninth in the last four months, Microsoft lawyers Brad Smith and Horacio Gutierrez write in a blog post.

Software patents are just retarded. These companies patent ideas and concepts simply to stifle competition. They get patents for the most vague concepts that other companies have been doing for years and years and years.
I'm all for patents for a specific design and an exact way about doing something...like perhaps the apple ipod control wheel. But I would not be ok with a patent for "a method of accessing data, or files from an electronic device utilizing human interaction where the human picks a particular data file from a list of choices and then that choice forces a preinstalled application on the device to launch to properly handle the file". Unfortunately, it's crap like the latter that is patented.
here is a great example
Microsoft has patented the concept of PageUP/PageDown. Yes, this brilliant stroke of genius was INVENTED by somebody at Microsoft and patented in 2005. Unsure what anybody might have done prior to this. But hopefully everybody that has implemented the concept of PageUp/PageDown within a document to scroll list to list to list has paid the appropriate royalties to the Microsoft genius who invented this wonderful technology.

I'm afraid we have to put this down to an ID 10 T problem, there are too many employed at the Patent Office.
I do not blame the corporations or individuals that apply for these ridiculous patents, which can be a great income stream, but those who grant them. Surly a bit of common sense would apply to this process.
Perhaps I could patent stupidity, the Patent office, would pay all my bills, with the licence fees

What is a gang?
Virginia State Code § 18.2-46.1 "Criminal street gang" means any ongoing organization, association, or group of three or more persons, whether formal or informal, (i) which has as one of its primary objectives or activities the commission of one or more criminal activities; (ii) which has an identifiable name or identifying sign or symbol; and (iii) whose members individually or collectively have engaged in the commission of, attempt to commit, conspiracy to commit, or solicitation of two or more predicate criminal acts, at least one of which is an act of violence, provided such acts were not part of a common act or transaction. Gangs may be organized on the basis of race, ethnicity or geographical location.
Who belongs to gangs?
Gangs can affect anyone, regardless of age, where they live, or what school they attend. Young people from all walks of life join gangs. Some gang members drop out of school, while others may be excellent students.
Research shows that the following factors are common indicators that a young person may be involved in gang activity:
Why do people join gangs?
A gang often meets needs that go unfulfilled in other areas of a young person's life. The gang may provide a sense of security, loyalty, structure and DISCIPLINE that may be missing at home. The following is a list of reasons that may lead a young person to join a gang:
How to identify gang members.
The following are some common indicators to look for if you suspect an individual may be involved in gang activity. These indicators are not a guarantee that an individual is involved in a gang. The only way to know for sure is by communicating.
Getting out of a gang.
There are numerous resources available in Henrico, and the City of Richmond to assist in getting out of a gang. Government and civic organizations have developed gang prevention and intervention programs to address the lures of the gangster lifestyle such as:

Benfica have agreed a deal to sign defender Ezequiel Garay from Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee. It had been widely speculated that Garay would be joining the Portuguese giants as a makeweight in the deal which saw left-back Fabio Coentrao move in the opposite direction. Benfica's official website has now confirmed the signing of the 24-year-old who had been occupied on international duty with Argentina at the Copa America.
Garay enjoyed a fruitful spell at Racing Santander where he became recognised both for his defensive prowess and potency in the opposition's penalty box. However, the centre-back saw his career stall at the Bernabéu and he featured just eight times at Madrid last season. Following boss José Mourinho's purchase of French starlet Raphael Varane, it became clear that the defender was regarded as surplus to requirements. As he moves to Benfica, he is likely to form a central defensive partnership with Luisao and will be expected to fill the void left by the sale of David Luiz to Chelsea.

Cheap gas draws a crowd.
The line leading to a Kum and Go at 108th and Giles in Sarpy county stretched for several blocks. Drivers waiting to fill their flex fuel tanks with e-85 for eighty five cents a gallon. Corn growers and ethanol producers are sponsors. Some vehicle owners who normally spend up to a hundred dollars pay barely twenty dollars for a tank of gas.
One gas buyer says, "I don't have an issue with it it doesn't burn that bad to me. "
Sasha Forsen of Green Plains says, " I think the biggest incentive is the cost. I think people are really excited to save money today and its really great so many."
Ethanol board staffers even pumped the gas for buyers. The four hour price cut at two metro locations fueled the purchase of an estimated four thousand gallons of e-85.

Bad Boy Records head Diddy is proving there is no limit he won't pass in order to give his newly launched Revolt TV exposure, even if it means appearing at the Country Music Awards.
The artist formerly known as Puff Daddy raised eyebrows at the annual ceremony last night in Nashville.
Diddy at the CMA Awards? "Are y'all surprised to see me here? Well Music City, I'm here!" he said after taking the stage in Nashville on Wednesday night with country star Kellie Pickler. "It's always been a dream of mine to come to the CMAs. I love me some country music, baby!" But his appearance wasn't completely without purpose — he took a moment to plug his new channel, Revolt. He and Pickler presented the award for vocal group of the year to Little Big Town. (USA Today)
Diddy recently lost some street cred after showing off his twerk moves during an appearance on "The Ellen Show" to promote Revolt TV.
As he continues his promotional campaign for Revolt TV, Diddy went up to The Ellen Show to talk about the burgeoning network and why he feels like he needs to go back to his old roots of aggressiveness. Following the interview, Diddy played a dancing game with Ellen. Both of them are forced to perform a dance for the other person, as they attempt to guess what dance it is. And naturally, Diddy got the card that said "twerking." "I just twerked for y'all… I lost a lot of street cred." (Complex)
Geared toward all-music everything, Diddy recently said he wanted to take a gradual pace at growing the Revolt brand.
"In the first 24 months we want you to turn on the channel from whatever device or site — Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr — and get the best music the world has to offer and real-time news and interviews. I am a marathon runner. I ran the New York City marathon and almost died. I tried to run like a two-minute mile early on in the race. I was crazy enough to think I could win. After seven miles I thought I would die, but I slowed down my pace and kept going. The first couple of miles with Revolt we want to run at a nice pace. The programming will be music, music, music. In 20 years we haven't had the right kind of curated music done in the right way. It will be news shows where we ask the tough questions that when artists are on they know they have made it. It could be festivals or sponsoring a nightclub event. When you turn to this network I want you to know you will see music content and high journalistic standards." (Ad Age)
Puff also said he believed Revolt TV could blow up to the point of being a renowned network like ESPN or even Fox News.
"We aspire to be the ESPN, CNN of music, Fox News if you are a Republican — we want to be taken seriously. We want people to have fun, but want them to take us seriously. ESPN has different genres of sports — football, basketball, track and field, the major league World Series and the little league World Series; they ask the hard questions; they give you quick clips with things like the top 10 plays of the day; news that's thought provoking and evocative. We want to be the ESPN of music." (Ad Age)

Her effervescent presence on Britain's X Factor programme had US producers beating down Cheryl Cole's door as a potential replacement for judge Paula Abdul on the next series of American Idol.
But the Girls Aloud beauty has reportedly turned down a chance to appear on the stateside talent show in a contract supposedly worth £4million.
A source close to the pretty brunette - who fought to save her marriage following allegations of husband Ashley Cole's infidelity - revealed she couldn't bear to leave the football star behind in Britain.
Earlier this month the couple, who married in 2006, were seen looking happier than ever at Cheryl's birthday celebrations.
While the singer's current visit to LA sparked speculation she's meeting with American TV bosses, the insider insisted she's only there to work on her new solo album.
"She only wants to focus on her music. That's what she is - a singer."

Unless you count sledding down a mini hill of fake snow at Knott's Berry Farm.
Yeah. I don't think that counts, either.
Because in case you hadn't heard, we get a little snow here in Chicago.
Thanks, C! You really are the best.
I told C that I wanted to go sledding every single day for the past week.
And I may have tweeted about it a dozen times, too.
I even got to throw myself off a sled to avoid hitting a tree. True story.
Am I the only one that had never been sledding?
It's so fun. Can't wait to do it again!

Sledding looks so much fun! I'm curious where you went - I haven't really played in the snow since living here. Well not like i used to when I was younger (maybe it's my fear of inevitable injury?).

Green 2.0 launches partnership with GuideStar and D5.
Environmental organizations, foundation and nonprofit leaders voice support for first-of-its-kind program to collect diversity data from nonprofits at scale.
Green 2.0: Accelerating Diversity in the Mainstream Environmental Movement
Green 2.0 and its working group push for data transparency, accountability and increased resources to ensure that the mainstream environmental organizations, government agencies, and foundations increase their diversity.
Breaking Through the Green Ceiling
Despite being more than 30% of the US population and supporting environmental protections at higher rates than whites, people of color have not broken the 16% "green ceiling" in any of the Environmental Organizations surveyed.
Diversity Among Mainstream Environmental Leaders Just Took A Step Forward!
"Green 2.0 takes pleasure in congratulating Rhea Suh on breaking the "green ceiling" with her appointment as President of the Natural Resources Defense Council. The Diversity in Environmental Institutions report commissioned by Green 2.0 highlighted the deep diversity challenges, especially within the executive leadership, of the mainstream environmental movement. Today, we celebrate NRDC's decision to hire a leader who has demonstrated that being a champion for the environment includes being a champion for diversity."
– Robert Raben, Founder & President, The Raben Group and Founder, Green 2.0
The current state of racial diversity in environmental organizations is troubling. Unless people of color are represented, their real life experiences in their communities and their needs will not be represented in the environmental sector. As communities of color continue to grow, so does their say on social issues and politics. We need to see diversification not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to drive real change.
People of color have not broken the 16% "green ceiling" in any of the Environmental Organizations surveyed.
Green 2.0 is an initiative dedicated to increasing racial diversity across mainstream environmental NGOs, foundations and government agencies. The Green 2.0 working group advocates for data transparency, accountability and increased resources to ensure that these organizations increase their diversity.
"The State of Diversity in Environmental Organizations: Mainstream NGOs, Foundations & Government Agencies"
Talking about Green 2.0
"We see climate change as one of the essential social justice issue of our times; its effects disproportionately impact marginalized and impoverished communities which have very little ability to influence the factors that contribute to global warming. We are committed to supporting our grantees in their efforts to ensure a sustainable future for all people. Since 2011, the RBF has collected data from grantees on the diversity of their boards and staff as well as their efforts to engage diverse perspectives in their work. We believe both are important. Nearly all of our partners report making efforts to increase the diversity of their staff, and many are increasingly adding policy reforms of interest to underrepresented groups to their advocacy agendas. The Taylor Report shows that we all need to do much more to support the environmental field as it reflects and responds to the demographic realities of our nation."Stephen B Heintz
"There needs to be a wider effort to attract and retain people of color in environmental organizations. Foundations and NGOs alike must assess their current culture, recruiting and retention efforts; support tracking and transparency of data, and take urgent action to addressbiases and barriers that impede diversity. The environmental community should be the leading edge not the trailing edge of diversity efforts."Freada Kapor Klein, Ph.D.
"This report highlights an important issue for EDF and the environmental movement. Although we have increased the representation of people of color in our organization, we must continue to work hard to reflect the environmental values of all sectors of society. This is the only way to fully achieve our mission."Fred Krupp
"The Sierra Club is proud to have supported this survey and and we are determined to help shine a light on what still needs to be done to make sure the environmental movement includes everyone who cares about clean air and water," said Michael Brune, Sierra Club Executive Director. "That is why we are working hard to ensure our organization looks like America, and taking that issue head-on through our environmental justice program, rigorous staff training, recruitment, and other channels. The Sierra Club is focused on and committed to engaging with diverse communities in the fight to ensure a just and clean environment for all, but there is no question we have a long way to go in becoming a truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization."Michael Brune
"State of Diversity in Environmental Organizations" is an excellent new report, and hopefully funders will wake up this time and face that the US is becoming increasingly more diverse. Back in 1990, the Environmental justice leaders challenged the "whiteness" of the green groups with letters to the "Big Ten" back in 1990 and in meetings with major green funders leading up to the 1991 First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit. Unfortunately, not much has changed since the Summit in terms of organization and funding diversity. We affirmed at the Summit I and Summit II that if exclusion is the problem, then we will create and grow our own inclusive Environmental Justice Movement. It is high time foundations and other funders seriously fund the EJ Movement and break the mold of not just "funding the groups they like, and who look like them." Clearly, it is not possible for our nation to be green without brown, black, red, yellow, and of course white!"Dr. Robert D. Bullard
"It's time for the environmental community to go beyond a fragmented set of diversity initiatives and step up with a comprehensive strategy. That will take good data. Today's Taylor Report, "The State of Diversity in Environmental Organizations: Mainstream NGOs, Foundations & Government Agencies," provides a thorough baseline and GuideStar is looking forward to collaborating with Green 2.0 to help collect ongoing data to track our shared progress."Jacob Harold
"The Taylor Report, Commissioned by Green 2.0, 'The State of Diversity in Environmental Organizations: Mainstream NGOs, Foundations & Government Agencies,' shows that mainstream environmental organization and their funders need to do more to address serious diversity concerns and the resulting effects.
I encourage every foundation and NGO to read the report, assess their current culture, recruiting, and retention efforts, and take urgent action to address shortcomings in diversity.
After all, African Americans bear the burden of environmental injustice, as our communities face disproportionate exposures to pollution, toxins, and the unfolding climate crisis. In order to collectively tackle serious environmental problems in these communities, we should also support and advance diversity in the environmental professional ranks."The Honorable Rodney Ellis
"Based on our extensive experience in the corporate sector, Green 2.0 is right on target in recommending that organizations urgently step up efforts to create inclusive workplaces by committing to tracking and disclose of diversity data. In a rapidly diversifying country and complex and interconnected world, Calvert understands how critical diversity is to tackling environmental challenges. The environment converges with so many other issues—so we are talking about significant implications for sustainability more broadly."Bennett Freeman
"A healthy environment is essential to the well-being of all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender. That is why it is vital that the organizations that are doing the important work of advocating for a healthier environment for our communities reflect the diversity within those very communities. Given the fact that communities of color are disproportionally impacted by environmental hazards, it is essential that these organizations include more voices from people of color at every level.
"I applaud the efforts to highlight the need for diversity within the environmental movement and the extensive research that went into this report. Having an accurate picture of the state of diversity is vital to recognizing the need to make diversity a priority and making positive strides within this sector. I thank all the organizations that participated in this report, and encourage every environmental organization to heed its results and work to see that they better reflect our country as a whole."The Honorable Ben Ray Lujan
"Green groups see the importance of measuring and reporting on ecological diversity externally. They should embrace — with equal passion — the call to measure and report demographic diversity internally. No monochrome coalition can ever win a green future. Only a rainbow-colored coalition can do that. Today's Green 2.0 report, 'The State of Diversity in Environmental Organizations: Mainstream NGOs, Foundations & Government Agencies,' shows that we all need to do more."Van Jones
"We believe this report is critically needed and very timely. Our movement and indeed our own organization don't yet reflect the rich diversity of our nation, or even the diversity of groups we represent in our work to protect the environment for all people. Environmental burdens and benefits are not distributed equitably, and our passion for justice compels us to address these disparities in our legal work. But to fully realize justice, we must change from within.
"This report makes clear the need to close the gap between what we say and what we do. It's telling us that we must get even more serious now about removing this 'green ceiling.' Earthjustice supports the work of Green 2.0 and is proud to have helped fund this report. We know that we have to tackle these issues head on in order to effect real change. We have begun this important work, taking steps to diversify our staff, our leadership, our board, and the client groups we represent. Our board and our staff have a shared commitment to diversity, and the board has a designated liaison on our staff Diversity Management Team. Still, we have much more work to do. We are committed to holding ourselves accountable and acting on the recommendations of this report."Trip Van Noppen
"Protecting the natural environment is a cause deserving of everyone's involvement, not just a select few but despite the fact that people of color support environmental protections at a higher rate than Whites, they have been oddly left out of the "Green Insiders' Club". This lack of diversity in the environmental community is nearly universally acknowledged as an issue that needs to be addressed if we are to expand the circle of environmental advocates and broaden our support. Despite this, it does not appear that there is enough of a commitment present for a sustained, concerted effort to address the problem."
"The important work that foundations have been doing in the Latino community in areas of immigration, education, health and others needs to be expanded to include the environment. Investments in mainstream groups to work with the Latino community, with Latino civic groups to develop environmental programs, and with Latino environmental organizations will go along way to developing relationships, broadening environmental support and growing the needed pipeline of Latino environmental advocates and professionals."
Mark Magaña

Vote of Disconfidence to Entity Framework
A friend of mine has found the following problem with Entity Framework 4:
- Two simple classes and one association between them (one to many):
- One condition to filter out soft-deleted entities (WHERE Deleted = 0):
- 100 records in the database;
- A simple query:
1: var l = ctx.Person.Include("Address").Where(x => (x.Address.Name == "317 Oak Blvd." && x.Address.Number == 926) || (x.Address.Name == "891 White Milton Drive" && x.Address.Number == 497) ...);
Will produce the following SQL:
2: [Extent1].[Id] AS [Id],
3: [Extent1].[FullName] AS [FullName],
4: [Extent1].[AddressId] AS [AddressId],
5: [Extent202].[Id] AS [Id1],
6: [Extent202].[Name] AS [Name],
7: [Extent202].[Number] AS [Number]
8: FROM [dbo].[Person] AS [Extent1]
9: LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Address] AS [Extent2] ON ([Extent2].[Deleted] = 0) AND ([Extent1].[AddressId] = [Extent2].[Id])
10: LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Address] AS [Extent3] ON ([Extent3].[Deleted] = 0) AND ([Extent1].[AddressId] = [Extent3].[Id])
11: LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Address] AS [Extent4] ON ([Extent4].[Deleted] = 0) AND ([Extent1].[AddressId] = [Extent4].[Id])
12: LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Address] AS [Extent5] ON ([Extent5].[Deleted] = 0) AND ([Extent1].[AddressId] = [Extent5].[Id])
13: LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Address] AS [Extent6] ON ([Extent6].[Deleted] = 0) AND ([Extent1].[AddressId] = [Extent6].[Id])
14: ...
15: WHERE ((N'317 Oak Blvd.' = [Extent2].[Name]) AND (926 = [Extent3].[Number]))
16: ...
And will result in 680 MB of memory being taken!
Now, Entity Framework has been historically known for producing less than optimal SQL, but 680 MB for 100 entities?!
According to Microsoft, the problem will be addressed in the following version, there is a Connect issue open. There is even a whitepaper, Performance Considerations for Entity Framework 5, which talks about some of the changes and optimizations coming on version 5, but by reading it, I got even more concerned:
"Once the cache contains a set number of entries (800), we start a timer that periodically (once-per-minute) sweeps the cache."
Say what?! The next version of Entity Framework will spawn timer threads?!
When Code First came along, I thought it was a step in the right direction. Sure, it didn't include some things that NHibernate did for quite some time – for example, different strategies for Id generation that do not rely on IDENTITY columns, which makes INSERT batching impossible, or support for enumerated types – but I thought these would come with the time. Now, enumerated types have, but so did… timer threads! I'm afraid Entity Framework is becoming a monster.

How clean is your beach?
If you're heading to the beach this summer you probably don't have water quality concerns at the top of your list. But, some of our beach water is dirty and it could even make you sick.
The latest report card on America's beaches finds that for the third straight year, there have been more than 20,000 closings and advisory days because of dirty water. The report is released each summer by the National Resources Defense Council.
The number of closures and alerts for 2012 were down from the previous year because we had less rain and less runoff, which is one of the major sources of pollution in our water.
Eighty percent of the closures and alerts for 2012 were issued because bacteria levels exceeded public health standards.
Illnesses linked to swimming in contaminated water include upset stomach, skin rashes, ear, nose and throat problems, pink eye, respiratory infections and Hepatitis.
About seven percent of beach samples from across the United States had unacceptable pollution levels. The worst offenders were beaches in the Great Lakes region. The healthiest beaches were found in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
A recent report from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality found Michigan residents lost 755 beach days due to pollution in 2012.
