Q&A with Sonya Bateman & Contest for MASTER OF NONE
"If Reservoir Dogs and Aladdin had a baby with Alice in Wonderland, it would look something like Master of None...Sonya Bateman writes Urban Fantasy at its best." "Master of None? More like Master of FUN! A terrific debut."
Sometimes blogs are fabulous. Like last week when I noticed the release of Sonya Bateman's Master of None and said how I hoped she might visit Vampire Wire and then she wrote and said she would.
So I'm delighted to have Sonya here to talk about her debut novel, especially since she puts a refreshing twist on urban fantasy with a type of being that is much beloved in our youth, but often ignored in adulthood: the djinn. I had lots of questions for Sonya, so let's get right to her answers.
Also, Sonya's giving away a copy of this fast-paced, funny and gritty urban fantasy. Read to the end of the post for information on how to enter the contest.
MARTA: Welcome, Sonya, and congratulations on the release of your debut novel, Master of None. Will you tell us a little about the book?
SONYA: Thank you, Marta, and thanks for having me! I love the tagline they came up with for me for describing the book briefly: One unlucky thief. One unlikely genie. One very odd couple.
Basically, the main character, Gavyn Donatti (the world's unluckiest professional thief) loses something he was hired to steal, and the guy who hired him (Trevor) gets lethally pissed off. A djinn named Ian (grudgingly) saves Donatti's life, and then (grudgingly) says he's bound to help him, and then informs him that Trevor isn't the only one out to kill him – there's a few djinn out there who have cemetery plots with Donatti's name on them, and are kind of intent on taking over the world. And Ian needs Donatti to stop them.
So Donatti and Ian – who fall in hate at first sight – have to work together to save the world. Sort of.
MARTA: Like all thinking people, I'm an admirer of "I Dream of Jeanie," and not just because Jeanie had a wicked cool bottle-hangout. How you come up with a curveball like a djinn plotline?
SONYA: I've always been interested in the djinn. And there's this one line in Disney's "Aladdin" that sparked some questions in my mind: "Phenomenal cosmic power...itty-bitty living space." The questions went something like – if genies are so powerful, why are they stuffed in lamps? Why do they bother grant wishes? What if they didn't? What if that whole wish-granting thing was just another way for them to mess with humans? Why wouldn't they just rule the world? What's stopping them? Most of my djinn worldbuilding came from answering these questions.
Plus, it was just plain FUN! *G*
MARTA: Genies are notoriously tricky and sneaky. What mythology about djinn did you incorporate into Ian?
SONYA: Mostly the tricky and sneaky parts. I also added a liberal dash of grumpy – for instance, Ian hates the word genie. Some of the mythology ideas I adopted into my world for the djinn: the ability to shape-shift (my djinn belong to clans, each clan is an animal, and they can shift into their clan's animal form) and become invisible; the idea that the djinn realm exists alongside the human realm; and most of all, their unerring knack for "granting" wishes in ways no one intended to make them.
MARTA: All the characters in your book are at cross-purposes, which sounds like great fun. How challenging was it for you to plot this, and what do you think action says about character?
SONYA: When I started this book, I had the beginning, and I had the (sort of) end – but very little in the way of middle. I'm big on developing characters, so I like to think that my plot arises organically from character development. I also like to think I have super powers, so I could be wrong about that. :-)
I also write linearly. I don't skip ahead and write later scenes, so when something wasn't working, I'd have to go back and figure out where I got off track, rip out a page or a scene or a chapter – or (gulp) several chapters – and nudge certain stubborn characters in a different direction. Eventually, everything came together. I think.
MARTA: Is Master of None part of a series, and, if so, have you lined up a bunch of clever titles to go with the sequels?
SONYA: It's definitely part of a series, with at least one sequel for sure (keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to publish more!). The second book is currently titled Djinn's Apprentice. I had this idea, after we settled on Master of None for the first one, that I'd go through the progression stages – but after apprentice, there's journeyman, and then we're back to master. So I may run out of clever titles after the third book.
MARTA: I read that you were writing for ten years before you wrote an urban fantasy, which is not uncommon to writers of genre fiction. If you had to tattoo your head with your writerly description, what would that tattoo say? Is your writing mystery-driven, are you a humorist, does romance rock your boat, etc.?
SONYA: My tattoo would probably say: WHOOPS. I have a tendency to blur the lines when it comes to genre. I'm definitely into black humor, I like a good dash of romance, lots and lots of action – and I love the unexpected. Especially when it works, and I manage to get in a plot twist or two that readers actually didn't expect. I love having my mind blown (like "Fight Club" or "The Sixth Sense" kind of blown), so I always try to keep something cool back for the end.
MARTA: Who are a few of your favorite writers?
SONYA: Ah, the Big Question! Of course, if I listed all of my favorites, you'd run out of bandwidth trying to upload this post. Let's see... I adore Terry Pratchett. The man is a genius. I grew up on Stephen King (yes, I was a disturbed child). Dean Koontz occasionally makes me drool with writerly jealousy. I like Erica Spindler and Meljean Brook. Newer authors I enjoy: Mark Henry, Jaye Wells, J. F. Lewis (and not just because they blurbed me!), Stacia Kane, and Kelly Meding. I believe I'll be adding Marta Acosta to that list. :-)
MARTA: This is a vampire blog, so who's your favorite vampire? Yes, it can be the Count on "Sesame Street" who is totally awesome.
SONYA: I do love me some Count! But my favorite vampire is probably Santiago (as portrayed by Stephen Rea) from "Interview with the Vampire."
MARTA: What's the most surprising thing you've learned about publishing since you got the deal? What's the most useful?
SONYA: I was surprised to find out how much book covers really matter, which in turn made me even happier that I was designed a super-awesome cover (thank you, Pocket design people!) that, in my opinion, makes the book noticeable on a shelf. Of course, that could just be the stars in my eyes from seeing it in real bookstores (what a rush!).
The most useful thing (which is not necessarily the happiest thing) is that the Great Machine O' Publishing moves veeeeery slooooowly. I've accepted the necessity of taking time with books and all associated things, like reviews and reader responses and word-of-mouth, to ensure everything is as good as it can be. Now, I just need to work on the patience part... *G*
MARTA: Obligatory inane question. If you had a robot assistant, what would it be called and would it be your best friend or secretly evil, and if you wrote a memoir about you and the robot, what would it be called?
SONYA: I would name him George, and he would be my little bunny rabbit – er, robot, my little bunny robot, and I would hug him and pet him and squeeze him and stroke his circuitry. George is a good robot. He fetches my slippers and oils my joints. I'd probably end up calling the memoir "Curious George Gets Dismantled (After Accidentally Erasing The Hard Drive And Jumping Up And Down On The Laptop To Cover His Crimes)".
MARTA: Thanks for your time, Sonya! Where can readers find out more about you and your book?
SONYA: Thanks again, Marta – you rock! There's more information on my website, including a preview of the first chapter, and on the Simon & Schuster website.
For more information about Sonya and her road to publication, read Tia Nevitt's interview with Sonya at Debuts & Reviews.
To Enter the Contest for a copy of Master of None: Just leave a comment for Sonya or a comment telling us what one (or two, or three) wishes you'd ask a genie. I mean a djinn! Yes, you can wish for your very own Henry Fitzroy vampire, but be careful! A wish given by a djinn can go wrong in all sorts of ways. The contest runs through Sunday, April 18, and a winner will be selected in a random draw.
The GVDs are in honor of our guest and her answers to my questions. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Okay, because it's a tradition on Fridays, right? Gotta have a Richard Armitage GVD because I haven't posted one all week.

I wish, I wish, I wish I knew what to wish for. No, wait! That wasn't my wish! Oh, dammit.
I think one of my favourite episodes from X-Files was when Mulder found the genie in the rug and he wished for world peace and she granted his wish by removing everyone else from the planet except him. Brilliant!
I wish you would enter me in the contest. =)

Hi Sonya,
I don't think I'd ask for a wish. It seems that somehow djinn always manage to grant your wish in a way that you wind up being sorry for.

Congratulations on the release of your book. It sounds fabulous and I'm adding it to my TBR list. I'm impressed (and somewhat tickled) by the eclectic mix of inspirations for your work. Glad to see you enjoy author Erica Spindler. I just finished reading Blood Vines. Have you read it yet? You are a new author for me, so thank you Marta, for the intro.

- kittyism said...
Ack... I wish I wasn't too paranoid to make a wish.
I love the idea of djinn being able to shift!
- April 9, 2010 at 8:58 AM
Hi Sonya & Marta! I prefer to go on the thought that the Genie/Djinn is on the up and up. With that in mind, my son has a disability, so my wish would be that he has a full and happy life! (you notice I said would be.) Great interview! Thanks for the contest.
- April 9, 2010 at 9:24 AM
- Sonya Bateman said...
Thanks again, Marta - this looks fantastic! I love the pictures (and the videos!) - and thanks for catching my little actor slip-up. In my defense, he does look like Geoffrey Rush. *G*
Hi everybody! Zita - wish granted! LOL
Sandy, that's probably a smart thing to do. :-)
Thanks, LSU! I haven't read Blood Vines yet. I just finished Copy Cat a few days ago, and enjoyed that one!
Kitty, I've been surprised that so many people are interested in the shifter aspect. It never occurred to me to mention that in any blurbs or copy or anything... whoops. :-)

Aaand I missed Barb while I was typing that long-a** comment. *G* I love your wish!
- April 9, 2010 at 9:25 AM
- Marta said...
Zita, now I've got to rent the X-Files dvds just to see that episode again!
SandyG, that's way people say, "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it."
LSU,I hadn't heard of Erica Spindler before and I'll try to find info on her to post here at Vampire Wire.
Barb P, it would be wonderful if your wish came true.
Kittyism, thanks for bringing up the shifting angle when I'd focused on the wish angle!
Sonya, I corrected the actor's name after being utterly confused and wondering how I'd missed Geoffrey Rush in "Interview with the Vampire"! Okay, both men have sad hound dog faces, I'll give you that.

Wishes are too dangerous for me! Sounds similar to asking a demon for information. Wow, maybe I read too much:) The key is being really really specific. So I asked my brother and he said he would wish for a pair of new unwashed socks to wear everyday. Hmm. I'll settle for entering the contest. I've heard so many great things about this book- Derek really sold me on it- and the shifter aspect really has me intrigued.
Great interview!

Thanks, Giada! I love giveaways. :-)
Anna, there's no such thing as too much reading. *G* Thank you!

A djinn is a dangerous, dangerous thing. Not sure I'd want a wish or two o three. It's bound to go wrong. I think I'll just settle for wishing I had this book :)
- April 9, 2010 at 10:46 AM
- Marta said...
Pixie, great answer!
Anna, I still think unwashed socks could hold danger.
Gianda, but what is true happiness? I can't even imagine.

OMG! I would love to win a copy. I just recently bought One Thousand and One Arabian Nights and started reading the short stories. Really hard, btw, but very entertaining and the whole jinni vibe is pratically seen in every story. Soo that's why I'm interested in your book.
Anyway, I'd ask for the gift of writing. I mean I love to write, but I want it to be flawless and thought provoking... So yeah, sounds boring but whatever, my wish, right? :)
- April 9, 2010 at 11:16 AM
- donnas said...
Sounds like a great book. Thanks for sharing.
I know its not unusual but assuming I have the good, honest genie type. I would want health and happiness for my family. If not the good and honest genie type, I would have to figure out a way to word that to get what I wanted anyway!

My wishes would be for my youngest child and oldest grandson.
They are both bipolar I.

Great interview.
My wish would be for 100 more wishes..maybe 10 million dollars..or maybe a gorgeous hunk of a man to do whatever I told him to...or..or..wait if I had the 100 wishes I could wish for them all :)
I'd take my chances with the djinn :)
- April 9, 2010 at 12:31 PM
- Sandy Jay said...
Sonya, this sounds like a really fun book. I have to read it.
I wouldn't wish for anything. That darn djinn would most certainly turn it into something nasty. Best to just keep my mouth shut around him.
- April 9, 2010 at 1:05 PM
- Jen said...
Ohh, this looks like a really great book. I would love to get my hands on a copy.
What about if I wish that the djinn wasn't tricky when granting my other wishes? Of course I'd have to be very specific, and maybe I'd have to have a lawyer draw up my exact wish because even that could probably be interpreted a million different ways. xD

I would wish for just an ooch of the imagination that creates such an interesting and exotic world like Sonja's in this book.
- April 9, 2010 at 1:28 PM
- angeleyesak said...
hmm...I would wish to be financially secure for the rest of my life & to leave my son secure. Without changing my life right now lol...I grew up on Dean Koontz & Stephen King too. The first Dean Koontz book I read was Door to December and my first King book was It.
- April 9, 2010 at 1:55 PM
- Marianna said...
Yay! This book looks good! I wanna read!
Anyway, if there is a catch, for the wish to go crazy, I probably wouldn't risk it. But if I did wish for anything it would be for fearlessness, creativity and wisdom.

I'd wish to have all the whises I wanted? Well, I think thats cheating so I'd for money and for all the books that I want to read and that haven't been published yet!

- Marta said...
Hi, everyone, next time I'm going to say that you can't wish for money since we all need and want it.
Sheere, you made me think of something I'd wish for -- finding dozens of undiscovered Jane Austen novels!
Pam, good luck with that! I think a djinn is always going to bring trouble, no matter how you try to outsmart it.
- April 10, 2010 at 5:12 PM
- Sonya Bateman said...
Agreed - money is cheating! And be careful wishing for more wishes, lest you end up like Shel Silverstein's Lester and die with piles of shiny, unused wishes around you. :-)
- April 10, 2010 at 5:58 PM
I'd wish I had more time to read all the fab books out there including Master of None....but knowing my luck the djinn wouls arrange it so I'd loose my job or something :-s
Oh,, well....
- April 11, 2010 at 8:01 AM
- Sonya Bateman said...
Mel, that's a perfect example of what they might do with a wish like that. *G*
- April 11, 2010 at 8:54 AM
I would wish for "Underpants on the Outside Day" to be a REAL holiday!
Sonya, The book was AMAZING!!! Why do we have to wait SOOOO long for the next one?

Congratulations Sonya on the release of Master of None! The premise sounds exciting, added it to my TBR list!
What would I sih for? Hm.. some special powers! 1) I would like to able to heal. 2) I would like to be able to beam (think of a place I want to be and then appear there! pouf!) 3) To be able to understand and speak all languages. These 3 came to my mind right now :-)
Thanks for this interview and the contest!!

Okay. I would wish for 1 of 2 things: 1 to free the djinn or 2 that I not have to make any wishes. Lame, right? Well, hear me out. : ) If the djinn was the kind from Aladdin (okay, please not blue and probably not singing) but if the djinn were friendly & kind-hearted, but cursed into the lamp/urn/jar/etc. then I'd free him/her. If the djinn was a jerk, I'd just want him/her to leave me alone. Because those wishes never go right, so I'd make a wish, have to fix it with my 2nd wish and have to return everything to the way it was with my 3rd & I've decided it's just easier to skip the entire process. : )
However, if I was in a book (or writing a book) I'd have my character wish wonderful things that went horribly wrong... which I'm secretly hoping is part of the plot in Master of None. lol.
Thanks for the interview, contest & fun question.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta commissioners are working on the budget for the city's new convention center. Some leaders say they needed more time to go through the 40-page document.
The first annual financial plan for the Augusta Convention Center is still not approved. Keep in mind its first event of the years is at the end of February.
"This is not being done to stifle any up-and-coming events. We need time to look at the numbers and make sure they make sense. We want to make sure we're not rubber stamping anything," said Mayor Pro Tem Corey Johnson.
"We are operating under the assumption that it's going to go through. It's basically details and conversations we've had for several months," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
"We got that annual plan on Friday and it's 40 pages long," said City Commissioner Donnie Smith.
The 40-page plan is full of details like rental fees and how many events are booked here. It also shows a predicted loss of about $800,000 in its first year.
"I heard that the deficit is considerable -- about $700,000. Some reports say $800,000. I predict maybe $500,000," Johnson said.
City leaders recently voted to add a crosswalk on the west side of the building. Parking deck Manager Paul Simon wants the city to build a $800,000 skywalk instead.
"Of course, we have asked to add another crosswalk on the west side of the parking deck so people can cross when they come down on that side," Johnson said.
"The annual plan has to be approved by the commission. I don't think there's anything in there we haven't talked about," Russell said.
The Augusta Convention Center's first event is scheduled for next week.

Clean, elegant and unbloated. Don't need to hit a fly with a sledgehammer. Wish more apps were this sweet with their design.
This already appears to be the consensus here, but I want to affirm that this app is extremely easy to use, and looks beautifulâ"A Mac app par excellence. However, it is lacking a number of advanced featuresâ"features that many of us won't generally need or want anyway.
Simple and fast way to mind your map :)
Very simple mind mapping, unlike most of the bloated software out there.
Absolutely fantastic (and gorgeous) application. Bravo!
This is very cool, So easy to use I will find myself using in in cases where I might not usually use it just because it takes such little effort to do so.
Wow! This is a neat little app.
Yesterday I downloaded several commercial and free mind mapping tools and I wasn't specially satisfied with any of them.
Today I found this by pure luck.
The interface is beautiful and the simplicity helps thinking. The app gets out of the way, as it always should.
thanks to the author!
I have had iMindmap since it came out, it makes beautiful maps, but I will be using Mindnode from now on, it has just what a mindmapper wants, easy of adding nodes, and multiple nodes on a page!
It's simple, clear and consistent mind mappiong application with very good keyboard hotkeys scheme. I've used FreeMind, which has more features, but it's not as clear and fast as this one.
Several thanks to its author :)
Now that I've had a chance to use this program, I thought I'd comment again.
This is a useful and beautiful program. I miss some features of MyMind (the outline view especially), but this program's simplicity and utility are undeniable.

Random Ridiculousness: Twitter Goes HAM On King Bron Bron's Struggly Django Feet
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Attention Slores, CELEBRITY, Entertainment
Most pro athletes have filthy struggle feet but King James is on a whole 'nother level and shut down Twitter with his struggly Django feets. Why they look like…that, we don't know, but Twitter's reaction to his hideous gargoyle feet was hilarious.
Here's the funniest Twitter slander of King Bron Bron's royal struggle feets. Take a look.

Ok. Here is what my system is working with.
Most Updated Software for OS X for my MACBOOK
Most Updated PMS
Mac is Wireless
PS3 is Wireless
Firewalls are down
All Conf settings for forced IP, etc and all are set up properly.
Wifi is grabbed from Airport Extreme which grabs from Verizon FIOS Router
Now...When the MAC is hard wired to LAN the Ps3 will see it immediately and can stream, but as soon as I pull the LAN and go WiFi I lose the connection again and can't find anything to make it work. I even brought the IT dept from my job to my house and they couldn't get anything to work except when the MAC was connected to hardline.

Wherever there is a story to tell, both Russell and Kay, columnists for the Neosho Daily News, are there to capture the story with flare.Russell also writes a weekly column for his hometown newspaper in Minnesota and is a regular feature of the Ozark Mountaineer. He has published more than 1,250 articles and authored several books. Wherever there is a need in the community; the Hivelys are making a difference. They serve on committees and boards for many projects including Newtonia Battlefields Protection Association; George Washington Carver National Monument, and Shoal Creek Historic Preservation, to name a few.The couple has served as volunteer "fish squeezers" at several hatcheries. A fish squeezer is someone who massages fish bellies to aid in the release of their eggs.Page 2 of 2 - Perhaps Russell's greatest role, however, has been that of a beloved English teacher, 25 years at Neosho and 17 years at Crowder College. He even donned costumes with a friend and toured the four state area with a historical representation of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It is estimated that Russell has touched the lives of some 5,000 students as their educator. The adoration of students and parents is evident when Russell volunteers one day a week in our Visitor Center gift shop/book store. Fans often drop by to bid him a fond hello. One mother shared that her son, Scott Wylie, a former student of Mr. Hively's and a university computer science major, recently reentered college to receive a degree in education because he discovered "I just want to be someone's Mr. Hively." The hatchery is blessed to have such a man and his wife as friends to lift it up at every turn. We should all strive to be someone's Mr. Hively but only one can do it well. Thank you Russell, for being our Mr. Hively.The hatchery staff sends best wishes for the holiday season and a prosperous new year to all.Janice Eaton is the automation clerk at the Neosho National Fish Hatchery.

We know why there are flash floods in Manitou Springs and on Highway 24…the Waldo Canyon fire. We don't know much about how the Waldo Canyon fire and that has people getting impatient with the lack of information.
"All I know is the authorities do know more than they've revealed to the public. It's just frustrating that no one has been brought to justice in either fire," Patrick Haven said on Facebook.
"I feel let down by the mayor and the Sheriff who only come up with lame excuses," Luis Diaz wrote on Facebook.
The head of the investigation into the fire, Lt. Adrian Vasquez with the Colorado Springs Police Department, last spoke with the media in June.
"We've certainly collected all the evidence, we've got our forensic information back," Lt. Vasquez said.
But investigators will only say they believe the fire was human caused and that they have pinpointed an origin. No more details, they say, because if someone does come forward with information, they want to be able to verify their story.
"Right now, without somebody coming forward I think we are in a bit of a stall," Lt. Vasquez said.
After his tour of Manitou Springs last week, KRDO asked Governor John Hickenlooper if more information released could help the public come forward with more tips.
"Certainly understand the frustration but it's not my job to second guess. My job's to support local officials here. It's not to come down and second guess them," Hickenlooper said.
The fire burned more than 18,000 acres, killed two people and destroyed 346 homes in the Mountain Shadows neighborhood in west Colorado Springs.
One person died in the flash floods on Highway 24 earlier this month, although the District Attorney's office says because that death didn't happen during the fire or the immediate evacuation, that death wouldn't be tied to any possible future prosecutions of the Waldo Canyon fire.
A 100-thousand dollar reward is still out there for any information that could lead to an arrest in the case.

Hello all.
I found on net this great application. Maybe someone will be interrested.
Also it is good for finding problems why PMS is not working
If you don't see on the left PMS(upnp server), it is PMS or OS related problem.
If you don't see on the right PS3(media renderer), it is in most cases network/firewall related problem.
Also very good project here(less beta as 4u2Stream and with more features, compatibility etc...):
Cidero is very good for testing purposes how it will looks on PS3, what exactly some option(hide extension,media library,etc.) do:-) Great when you are away from PS3!!!
Also good Debug Window where you can see UPNP communication
You can see Search, Subscription, Alive Notifications, ByeBye Notifications, Action and Event messages without WireShark....

Four Long-Term Investing Tips From Warren Buffett
Earlier this week ahead of the release of his highly-anticipated annual letter to shareholders Saturday, Warren Buffett released an excerpt on Fortune that gives investors four long-term investing tips.
Citing two key investments, one made in the 1970s and the other in the 1980s, Mr. Buffett, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, gave investors several pieces of clear, tangible advice for making long-term investing decisions.
Here's a look at four tips from the Oracle of Omaha:
#1 — Own low-cost S&P 500 index funds
Mr. Buffett emphasizes this point again and again in this excerpt from his letter. It's a theme he's honed in on throughout his investing career: Don't try to pick winning stocks. Instead "own a cross section of businesses that in aggregate are bound to do well." A low-cost S&P 500 index fund helps any investor do this well.
"In the 20th century, the Dow Jones industrial average advanced from 66 to 11,497, paying a rising stream of dividends to boot. The 21st centruy will witness further gains, almost certain to be substantial."
Mr. Buffett writes that when he passes away, he has left instructions for his trustee to invest the cash designated for his wife in two ways — 10% in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P index fund. He suggests Vanguard's index fund.
"I believe the trust's long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors who employ high-fee managers."
#2 — Ignore your or anyone else's predictions about long or short-term price changes. Focus instead on productivity of assets
Weaving his tale of two investments, both of which have paid off handsomely over the past several decades, he said he completely "ignored what the economy, interest rates, or the stock market might do in the immediate years following." Instead, with these investments– a farm in Nebraska and NYU-area real estate — he looked at the future productivity of these assets.
Over decades, he asked himself would corn prices ultimately keep rising? Could the actual building in which he was investing command higher price per square foot than they were at the time? In both cases he answered yes.
For any investment, he said it's key to to understand the productivity of particular assets rather than analyzing say whether the price of farmland or real estate in New York City now or in five years would go up. "If you instead focus on the prospective price change of a contemplated purchase, you are speculating."
#3 — Ignore the macro environment and political environment
He notes that when he and his partner Charlie Munger buy stocks, they think of them as "small portion of businesses" and try to see the earnings power of these businesses over the next five years or more. "In the 54 years we have worked together, we have never forgone an attractive purchase because of the macro or political environment."
Mr. Buffett said he didn't worry about real-estate prices or stock prices during the Great Recession. "Could anyone really believe the earth was going to swallow up the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America?"
#4 — Make as few investments as possible
Investors these days are pushed to be active and to buy low, sell high. Slow it down, says Mr. Buffett. Frequent buying and selling only cuts into long-term returns.
"Both individuals and institutions will constantly be urged to be active by those who profit from giving advice or effecting transactions. The resulting frictional costs can be huge and, for investors in aggregate, devoid of benefit."
Mr. Buffett continues: "Ignore the chatter, keep your costs minimal, and invest in stocks as you would a farm."
For more timely tips from the investing legend, stay tuned to MoneyBeat Saturday morning. We'll be live blogging his letter to shareholders and Berkshire Hathaway's earnings.

AUGUSTA, GA, March 6, 2006--- On March 25, 2006 the American Red Cross of Augusta will host a "Free CPR Saturday." The event will be held at Abilene Baptist Church, located at 3917 Washington Road from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The four hour training will provide individuals with the knowledge and skills to perform rescue breathing, abdominal thrusts and CPR on adults. Upon completion of the free CPR training, participants will take a written exam and receive a certification card.
More than 75% of all heart attacks occur at home, and by learning lifesaving skills such as those taught on "Free CPR Saturday", family members will be better prepared to save a life. "CPR Saturday is a free service that the Augusta Chapter offers every year, it is our gift back to a community which gives us so much," said Sandra Leathers, Director of Health and Safety.
Individuals are asked to register by March 13, 2006 if they plan on attending the course. For more information, or to register, please call the Augusta Chapter at (706) 724-8481 ext. 211.
The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors -- across the street, across the country and across the world -- in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new -- the nearly 1 million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through more than 800 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world. Some 4 million people give blood -- the gift of life -- through the Red Cross, making it the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. The Red Cross helps thousands of U.S. servicemembers separated from their families by military duty stay connected. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of 181 national societies, the Red Cross helps restore hope and dignity to the world's most vulnerable people. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money and blood to do its work.

OAKLAND -- There are few places where the death of Trayvon Martin at the hands of a neighborhood watch leader who once aspired to be a police officer resonated as it did in Oakland.
In the city where Oscar Grant was shot and killed by a BART officer four years ago and the police department is under federal supervision in part over a failure to stop racial profiling, the 17-year-old Martin felt like kin to many African-American Oaklanders.
One day after George Zimmerman was acquitted of charges in Martin's killing, residents' anguish poured out from pulpits, pews and city streets.
"In America, it doesn't matter if you're just walking home," Pastor Zachary Carey told parishioners at True Vine Ministries in West Oakland on Sunday. "To them, we're all criminals. If you're black, you're a criminal."
For many in the pews, the verdict confirmed two unpleasant but deeply-held beliefs: that just because the country elected an African-American president doesn't mean it fully values their lives, and that those most vulnerable in a society rife with fear of young African-American men, are the young men who must deal with people clutching their bags or questioning them as they approach.
"You can see some of the other races, how they look at you with that suspicious eye," said 37-year-old Lamar Brantley of Oakland. "A person that's fearful is liable to do anything. It does make me fearful at times."
Ronda Johnson said that someone like Zimmerman might be a bigger threat to her two sons than gang violence, because while she can steer them away from gangs, "Zimmerman was always prepared to look for someone like Trayvon," she said.
Late Sunday afternoon, hundreds of people, many carrying signs reading, "I am my brother's keeper," and "We are all Trayvon Martin," gathered at Frank Ogawa Plaza for a march. Some two dozen police officers monitored the crowd.
Larry Everest, a writer for Revolution Magazine, said, "this verdict doesn't show the system as legitimate. It shows it's illegitimate. We need a whole new system," he said as the crowd clapped.
At True Vine Ministries earlier in the day, Carey directed members to turn outrage over the verdict into action, and denounced the "senseless" vandalism perpetrated in Martin's name throughout downtown Oakland on Saturday night.
"We should be marching on every state capital in America," he thundered. "We should march on Washington and tell them that this is no longer acceptable in America and we're not going to take it anymore."
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, said he shot Martin in self-defense after Martin assaulted him and slammed his head against the sidewalk. At the heart of the case was why Zimmerman chose to follow Martin, who was walking home from a grocery store unarmed and wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
In Oakland, the case shows the need to train police and the city's growing neighborhood watch movement on de-escalating conflicts, civil rights Attorney John Burris said.
"The travesty in this whole case is that a young man minding his own business was deemed suspicious and wound up dead," he said.
Like many people interviewed, Olis Simmons, who runs the nonprofit Youth UpRising in East Oakland, noted that African-American NFL star Michael Vick went to prison for harming dogs, but Zimmerman will not be punished for killing an African-American teenager.
"The verdict was devastating because it says that the people who our nation needs to help it turn the corner can be killed at will because they fit the profile that the media has determined is threatening," she said.
Simmons said she is still struggling with what to say Monday to the teenagers in her program.
"I have to tell them the same thing I told them during the Oscar Grant stuff," she said. "That violence isn't justice. And that civic engagement leads to justice."

Sylvia McCloud Box 665 Ronan, 64T 59364 PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 6 FULL MOON OF THE SERVICEBERRY JULY 15 1980 FIRST POW-WOW OF THE DECADE IS "WEIRDEST EVER" The Flathead Reservation's 82nd Annual Pow-Wow will go down in history as the "the weirdest celebration ever". In addition to the usual North American Indian dancing, stickgames and feasting, this year's five-day program featured two other kinds of Indians ~ Mexican and Scan-danavian. BRYAN BRAZILL CHOSEN I.T.Y.P. CHIEF Young Tribal member, Bryan Brazill, was named Chief of this year's Inter-Tribal Youth Practicum (ITYP), held on the Blackfeet Reservation last month. The 17-year-old high school senior from Arlee explained that ITYP Chief is equivalent to being chosen governor of Montana's Boys State program. Chairman of the "Bear Tribe" (one of 4 theoretical tribes at the practicum charged with devising and operating a "tribal government"), Bryan was also named the outstanding student of his group. These honors, he modestly explained, came as a result of his deep involvement with the seven-day learning experience. As half of the ITYP royalty ~ Leola Weed of Wyoming was named Princess - he's now looking forward to one of the benefits of chiefdom...a trip to Washington, D.C., later this summer. (Actually, he's been there before: he was the first runner-up at last year's meeting and accompanied then -Chief Wilfred Fish to the nation's capital city.) Bryan is the son of Virginia and Jack Brazill. A Salish Indian - "not Flathead", he stressed -- he enjoys Indian dancing and traveling to pow-wows with his family. He also sketches very stylized Indian designs (which we are featuring in this issue with Bryan's permission) and enjoys drumming, as in "Rock and Roll", not war chants. Mexico's Indian population was represented by seven young people who call themselves "Esplendora Azteca". The dance group delighted pow-wow goers five evenings in a row with their high energy renditions of half-a-dozen ancient Aztec dances, including the popular "Fire Serpent" finale featuring a five-foot-long live snake and a dancer who stepped on and over a flaming torch. The Scandanavian "Indians" were ten foreign exchange students from Norway (see their story on page 24 ). After singing two of their native Sami folk songs, they were invited to participate in a special honor dance. With that brief initiation to North American Indian dancing under their belts, the group's endurance was put to a test as they were led in a rousing Oklahoma Two-Step dance. After yet a third circuit around the dance pavilion, this time in a tamer intertribal, the Sami students drifted away - some with a buckskin outfitted guide - to check out the rest of the pow-wow sights and photograph them for the folks back home. Briefly, now, here's a summary of Arlee's big July "doings": July 2 - Wednesday afternoon was devoted to an afternoon-long memorial observance for Tom W. Brown, a well-known and well-liked Tribal elder, who died last year. The event included a memorial ceremony, a give-away and a feast. ¦ «Sfr a» ^» i^i ¦< (Continued on page two) INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Guest Editorial..

About the Book
Witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan needs to save the demonic realm of the Ever After in the eleventh entry in the New York Times bestselling Hollows series from supernatural adventure master Kim Harrison.
When Rachel sets off a chain of events that could lead to the end of the world—demonic and human—she must use her gifts to save those closest to her while preventing an apocalypse.
Satisfying and sexy, a visit to the Hollows will take readers on a wild journey that will capture their imagination. Fans of Charlaine Harris and Stephenie Meyer won't be able to resist Kim Harrison's alternative universe—urban fantasy Cincinnati complete with vampires, witches, and other enchanting creatures—where spine-tingling adventures and fast-paced action are the norm.
The ever-after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and it's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to stop it before the fragile balance between Inderlanders and humans falls apart.
Of course, there's also the small fact that Rachel caused the ley line to rip in the first place. And the most powerful demon in the ever-after, the soul-eater Ku'Sox Sha-Ku'ru, has kidnapped her friend and her goddaughter as leverage in his quest for vengeance. If Rachel doesn't give herself up for execution, they will die.
Rachel must team up with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack— a partnership fraught with perils of the heart and soul— to rescue those she loves.

—PCUSA Moderator and Seminary's Office of Continuing Education will host national Colloquium on Ecclesiology December 9–11 and Conversation on Unity with Difference December 11–13; participate on-site or online—
Princeton, NJ, November 4, 2013–Moderator of the Presbyterian Church USA's 220th General Assembly Neal Presa will lead two churchwide conversations in December hosted by Princeton Theological Seminary, of which Presa is a 2004 Master's of Theology graduate.
The Colloquium on Ecclesiology on December 9–11 invites Presbyterians and other Christians to a national conversation to consider Jesus Christ's enduring call to the church to be both a gathered and sent community in the midst of the fast-paced changes in church and society.
Rather than responding to such change by restructuring or "tinkering with rules and procedures," Presa says the church must be "continually shaped and informed by a theological framework whose center and circumference is the One encountered in Word and Sacrament and in the daily life of the Gospel from Monday to Saturday."
To help lead the colloquium, he has invited church leaders, pastors, and scholars to present papers on the nature of the church and its worship and mission. Presenters will include Martha Moore-Keish, Frank Yamada, Joseph Small III, John Burgess, Robina Winbush, Corey Widmer, and Jerry Andrews. A member of the Princeton Theological Seminary community will respond to each paper. Click here for more information about the leaders and to download papers.
The Conversation on Unity with Difference on December 11–13 will focus generally on the nature of confessions and confessional authority in the Reformed tradition, and specifically how they relate to the church's current discussion on marriage. Those presenting papers for the conversation include Cynthia Rigby, Martha Moore-Keish, Kevin Park, Joseph Small III, Barry Ensign-George, Charles Wiley, and Bill Schlesinger. There will be roundtable discussions after each presentation. Click here for more information about the leaders.
Both events are open to the public, either as participants on-site (in the Cooper Conference Room at the Seminary's Erdman Center) and via live streaming on the web, and will be recorded for archival purposes. Click here to register. The Twitter feed will also take comments and questions.
Princeton Theological Seminary, founded in 1812, is the first seminary established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Its mission is to educate leaders for the church of Jesus Christ worldwide, and its more than 500 students and 11,000 graduates from all fifty states and many nations around the world serve Christ in churches, schools and universities, healthcare institutions, nonprofit agencies, initiatives for social justice, mission agencies, and the emerging ministries of the church in the twenty-first century.

Use ekiga and a usb webcam for video conference
By colin on Oct 20, 2008
It is easy to setup a video conference by using ekiga.
1. Plug your USB webcam. (See the list of webcams supported on opensolairs)
You then should have the device file /dev/video0 created automatically.
2. Configure ekiga with GUI.
When the first time running Ekiga or you click Ekiga menu
Edit -> Configuration Druid, you can see a dialog pop up. After click
"Forward" button for a couple of times, you see a dialog to ask for an
account, you can just click "I do not want to sign up for the ekiga.net
free service", and then go forward. When you are asked for choosing
"Video Manager", please choose V4L2. After these configuration steps,
can see the application window, and then click the video camera button
to see
the video. Now you will see the local video captured by your usb webcam.
3. To connect with others to see the remote video.
It is easy to use h323 protocol to connect two PCs. Just one step:
In the address blank of Ekiga main window, type:
h323:ip-address, e.g., h323:220.127.116.11
The hostname or ip address belong to the PC that you want to call. Then type return or click the call button to issue the call. After the peer accepted the call, then you are connected. Remote video will be displayed on both sides.
Note: If ekiga can not detect the webcam but the /dev/video0 file is already created, it might be the file permission problem. The access to /dev/video0 is
granted to login user only. So, if you are running ekiga using another user
name, then ekiga can not detect the webcam. Just change the user to the
login user will make it work.
Tips: After you are connected, clicked the "View" menu to try various ways of displaying remote/local video or zoom the video.

RIPON - Police are searching for a woman who burglarized two cars near Stouffer Park in Ripon and used a stolen credit card at a business minutes after the burglaries occurred, authorities said.
Investigators obtained surveillance images of the woman using the stolen credit card at an ATM, police said. Police later determined that the woman used other stolen credit cards at other locations between Ripon and Stockton, authorities said.
The burglar was described as a woman with a dark complexion, a high ponytail, a pink, low-cut sleeveless shirt, denim shorts and oval-shaped sunglasses, police said.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2012, 92 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Documentary, Educational, Political, Religious, Social Issues
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Scott Thurman
Producer: Pierson Silver, Scott Thurman, Orlando WoodEditor: Jawad MetniScreenwriter: Jawad Metni, Scott ThurmanCinematographer: Zachary Sprague, Scott Thurman
MUST END Thursday, December 20th!
Digital presentation - In Austin, Texas, fifteen people influence what is taught to the next generation of American children. Once every decade, the highly politicized Texas State Board of Education rewrites the teaching and textbook standards for its nearly 5 million schoolchildren. And when it comes to textbooks, what happens in Texas affects the nation as a whole.
Don McLeroy, a dentist, Sunday school teacher, and avowed young-earth creationist, leads the Religious Right charge. After briefly serving on his local school board, McLeroy was elected to the Texas State Board of Education and later appointed chairman. During his time on the board, McLeroy has overseen the adoption of new science and history curriculum standards, drawing national attention and placing Texas on the front line of the so-called "culture wars."
In his last term, McLeroy, aided by Cynthia Dunbar, an attorney from Houston and professor of Law at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, finds himself not only fighting to change what Americans are taught, but also fighting to retain his seat on the board. Challenged by Kathy Miller, president of the Texas Freedom Network, and Ron Wetherington, an anthropology professor from Southern Methodist University in Texas, McLeroy faces his toughest term yet.
The Revisionaries follows the rise and fall of some of the most controversial figures in American education through some of their most tumultuous intellectual battles.

NEW BEDFORD — Eastbound traffic was stopped on Route 6 around 3 p.m. today due to a four-car accident at the intersection with Route 140 that injured at least three people and overturned one car.
Detective Captain Steven Vicente said one person was sent to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence. He could not confirm the injuries of the people involved or discuss what caused the accident this afternoon because police were still on the scene and had not yet filed a report.
By 3:20 p.m. , three of the four cars involved had been cleared from the intersection except for a silver Dodge Ram pickup truck that was overturned. The driver's side window of the truck was shattered and its bumper was severely damaged.
Tire tracks were visible on the island separating traffic turning west onto Route 6 from Route 140 from the traffic going straight onto Brownell Avenue.
Lorraine Medieros said she was sitting at her desk at Dr. Joseph Glennon's optometrist's office at 1212 Kempton St. when she heard "a big bang and crunching metal." She turned around to see a silver pickup, "wheels up," slightly on top of a sedan with two other damaged cars.
She said she also saw a man exit the overturned car "on his own."
"It was quite the sight," she said. "We are always hearing accidents at this intersection but this was the worst. It was like from the movies."
She added that the intersection of Routes 6 and 140 was "totally blocked" and that cars were driving through the parking lot of One Stop Gas Variety Store, at the corner of Kempton Street and Brownell Avenue, in order to go around the crash.

Hi All,
Am newish to running and was hoping for a bit of insight into average times it has taken people to complete each stage of the Couch to 5K program and how strictly people generally follow the program.
I used to be incredibly fit approximately 10 years ago; competed at State and National level for a number of different sports. Even during that period however, I never managed to succeed with endurance running. Being fit I managed relatively well but really struggled to improve and push myself to go further or last longer and so gave up.
Over the years my fitness has really dwindled and the last 6 months I've hit rock bottom. I'm very outdoorsy but am now struggling to enjoy the things I love doing the most because of my incredibly poor fitness level. I have decided that to get to this stage is just ridiculous and if I want to enjoy life the way I like it I need to be much fitter again. I thought the best way to motivate me would be to tackle an old goal that I never reached, even at my peak, so that I can feel a real sense of achievement.
I completed my first run tonight and my Week 1 Day 1 results were 3.54km in 30 minutes, averaging 8.25 minutes per km. I suspect this may be quite slow and not a great distance covered but I'm glad that I've started and have a real goal. I really have no indicator though, so was hoping people can either share their results or point me in the direction of where people have already shared results.
My second question is how strictly people stick to the program. I'm content to stick to the exact walking & jogging times for each session, but only 3 times per week doesn't feel like enough. Does anyone have any feedback on whether they tried to do more and recommend against it or whether it was successful with them. I'm tossing up between repeating the same weekly routine more than 3 times in the one week, or whether I forget the 'weeks' and just focus on the workout number. I.e. If I do a fourth run this week, I move onto the fourth workout routine.
While I feel I didn't get an amazing result for my first run, I am extremely glad that it appears to be a very encouraging program and didn't once wish it were over and that has made me quite excited about run number 2!
Basic recommendation: DO NOT RUN ON CONSECUTIVE DAYS! Your body needs time to recover from the stresses running places on it. That's what the non-running days allow. Running on consecutive days can be an invitation to injury if your body is not ready for it. If you competed at a high level in any sport you must be familiar with the concept of recovery. The C25K runs are hard workouts at this point. The program is designed to give you a progressive introduction to steady running. The off days give you time to recover between workouts. Don't obsess about how far or how fast you're going - again, an invitation to injury. After you complete the program is the time to consider going farther or faster - usually not both at the same time. Running is always about progressive improvement if you want to avoid injury.
Good luck, and happy and injury-free running.
I recalculated your time in miles and came up with 2.2 miles in 30 minutes or 13:38 per mile. If you're including walking breaks, I'd call that pretty darn good!
I'm not familiar with the program other than to know you're gradually increasing your running time as you decrease walking, 'til you're running 3 miles non-stop.
Early on, don't be in a hurry, take the days off as Len has suggested. Your heart, your lungs, your legs and just about every other part of your body has to adapt to this new stress you're throwing at it.
What's so awesome about this though, is that it WILL adapt and you'll get stronger. Just take your time and let it happen.
Later, there are all sorts of programs that'll help you become a distance runner. Distances of 10k, 1/2 marathon and even marathon programs all take you through the same progession of starting easy and building as the program you're following now.
The last thing you need is an injury and right now you're very susceptible to one, so take it slow.
And good luck!
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Alright, thanks guys. I'll stick with the plan exactly as it is. I'll add some brisk walking in two of the 'recovery' days as I have a real motivation problem if I don't create a daily routine, but I won't do extra running.
I don't really feel like i'm obsessing about the speed or distance I was just hoping to get some kind of indication of what level I'm at. I might do a bit of googling to see what info is out there.
I've just started the same plan today. I used to run a lot before kids, about 8 yrs ago now and tried to get back into running several times since. The reason I have failed is because I tried to do too much too soon and get frustrated I can't run like I used to and get injured. This time I will follow the Cto5K plan by the book as I want to get back into it properly and for life.
Some things are worth waiting for and doing properly.
I am in the same boat. Worked out before kids, now it's time to get back into it. It all starts now. Best to you in 2013!
Ditto to what Len said. I didn't follow the plan and did days one and two back to back and I am SORE. I'm going back to power walking for a few days to give my legs a chance to recover before doing W1D3.
When I did C25K I followed the plan but I would do about a 30 minute walk on the my off days between runs. I preferred this because I wanted to make sure I was still getting out and moving on those off days, but for me it also helped by making sure I stuck to waking up and getting out at a set time every morning. For me it worked out fine, but I know others have said they would start getting some joint issues if they didn't take their days off.
I did the C25k plan starting last July and wrote a blog post on it after my first run in September that talks about how closely I did and didn't follow it and some of my general thoughts on the program -
Overall I TOTALLY agree with everyone who is saying not to run consecutive days, it affected my motivation and my endurance when I tried to do anything back to back, and I agree with jeb that it's helpful to walk some on days in between but especially in the beginning I found it better not to run more than three times a week.
I think it's great that you're trying the C25K program again - it's totally worth doing, just be flexible and have a good time, when I pushed too hard that's when I worried that I would quit.
I just ran a new year's run and wrote about some of my experiences running after the C25K program if you're interested in seeing a funny running photo that'll make anyone feel better you can access it here http://kellysnormal.blogspot.com/2013/01/its-time-to-start-running.html
Happy running and good luck!

I'm about the opposite to all the other advice here. I completed the 9 weeks of Couch to 5K in about 6 weeks. I did 5 runs a week most weeks, and some days ran 2-3 days in a row. I think as long as you listen to your body, stretch and eat well, it could be fine - but that's just what worked for me so YMMV.

Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge is opening Seahorse Key to the public on Saturday, Feb. 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Visitors to the island must provide their own transportation or buy a ticket on one of the tour boats.
Bring your camera, fish a little, walk along the beach and enjoy the exhibits.
A cast of period-dress volunteers will tell the history of the lighthouse on Seahorse Key, which sits atop the 54-foot tall dune, and offers great perspective for wildlife photography.
The Cedar Key Lions Club recently completed a Worldwide Week of Service, joining with Lions around the globe for this community service project. In early January, Lion volunteers braved raw winds and cold temperatures to collect donations of food and clothing in front of the Cedar Key Post Office. At the same time, Lion volunteers coordinated donations at City Hall, Cedar Key Episcopal Church, Cedar Key Methodist Church and Cedar Key Baptist Church. The Lions served residents of Cedar Key well. The local results were impressive.
Dr. Jack Payne, second from left, senior vice president for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Florida, honored the stars of "Gator Good: The Cedar Keys Story."
From left to right are Leslie Sturmer, UF IFAS Agent; Payne, Heath Davis, mayor and oysterman; Shawn Stephenson, clam farmer; Bobby Witt, clam farmer and Sue Colson, city commissioner and clam farmer.
The Artist of the Month at the Cedar Keyhole in Cedar Key is Connie Stark, whose face jugs, mugs, toothbrush holders, shot glasses, sponge holders and thimbles delight collectors of all ages. Each face has a unique personality – whimsical, comical or a bit goofy, but always entertaining.
A talk by Savanna Barry, Travis Thomas at Cedar Key Public Library Feb. 13 at 10:30 a.m. will focus on
Alligator Snapping Turtles (genus Macrochelys). They are large, aquatic turtles limited to river systems that drain into the Gulf of Mexico.
New research used evidence from the fossil record, turtle morphology, and genetics to identify two new species of Alligator Snapping Turtle, one of which is only found in the Suwannee river drainage.
I hate to state the obvious but man have we had a roller coaster ride with the weather!
The reds and trout seem to be constantly on the move in and out of the creeks. And the trout will bite one day on the flats and gone the next. Either way, when I catch keeper trout on the flats with 56 degree water temperature I feel very lucky.
Robinson's Restaurant in Rosewood was closed Sunday but you would have hardly known it as folks stood in line out to the parking lot to buy grouper dinners for a fundraiser for charter Capt. Phil Muldrow. All the food and desserts were donated and several hundred folks turned out — including snowbirds from as far away as Ontario, Canada, Wyoming and West Virginia.
Four years ago when the Suwannee River Water Management District was buying the Lukens Tract to prevent it from being developed and to preserve the area's pristine waters for aquaculture, it cut out 20 acres that had once been home to a dump.
It's understandable that the water district did not want to buy into a problem.
But the water district finds itself snagged in another problem.
Free Yoga

On April 19, 2015, the thousands of nests on Seahorse Key were occupied and the sounds of birds filled the air. Those feeding their broods brought in fish, some of which drooped from nests to be devoured by the cottonmouths that live below.
"They are very sloppy and they are a food source, a very large source of food for the cottonmouth which eats marine fish," said Coleman M. Sheehy III, a researcher on the island since 2001. "The important thing is they eat the fish, not the birds."
On April 21 Seahorse Key was quiet. No birds.

Knitter's Review
January 23, 2003
This week we look at a company that was a victim of the dot-com boom in the San Francisco Bay Area, but not for the reasons you may think.
Straw into Gold was a fixture on Berkeley's San Pablo Avenue until escalating rents forced the company to close its doors in 2001.
Fortunately for us, the company has resurfaced in Richmond, California. It may now be a wholesale-only enterprise, but -- as you'll learn in this week's yarn review -- we still have plenty to celebrate.
