ATBPosted: June 24, 2009
So I obeyed the whims of my inner 10 year old and purchased Final Fantasy IV - The After Years on Wii. My 5th grade self sank entirely too much time into its predecessor and that never-distant inner child cried out for a return to those golden hours of grinding levels so Rydia could learn Meteo. Plus, at 800 Wii Points (I MEAN CENTS) I could hardly go wrong even if it turns out not great.
(I am hesitant to mention it, but I spent a good amount of classroom time in those formative years secretly drawing designs for a sequel to Final Fantasy IV starring Cecil and Rosa's son. There's a little bit of odd vindication in seeing some fevered childhood dream come to life many years after you realized it was never going to happen.)
Honestly, apart from that nostalgia-holic rage that made me buy it in the first place, I had very little hope for this game. I know cell phone gaming is a bit bigger market in Japan than here in the States, but I still couldn't imagine how a sequel to a nearly twenty year old game developed to be played on a cell phone was going to be anything close to an enjoyable experience.
I'm close 2:30 hours into this game now, about halfway through the third dungeon, and I guess I'm still on the fence about it. It hits all the points I was hoping it would, but this flavor of Final Fantasy system has not aged well.
In particular, I find the ATB system to be a time wasting nuisance. While it has been many years since our last look at a traditional Final Fantasy battle system, I do believe that FFX honed the mechanics of such a system to a fine point. What most bothers me about FFIV:TAY's ATB system are those seconds of battle where no one's ATB bar is filled and the combatants stand around dumbly. I'm not playing. Neither enemies nor PCs are acting. The game has literally stalled until a timer bar fills up.
What makes FFX so great was that it cut these waiting bits out entirely. The ATB bars are going to reach their full state in the same order whether it is represented visually on the screen or simply happens. The characters all move in the same order as if they had an ATB bar, but with none of the irritating lag.
I suppose I can see the reason that the designers chose to emulate the far-gone ATB system of Final Fantasy IV, but that doesn't make it any more playable. Time I am not interacting with the game is boring time, and there's just no excuse when a strategically equivalent system can be easily implemented.
Game Journalism?Posted: June 19, 2009
So I've got a new job in a new city, but I haven't managed to move to that city yet - hence I've got about a two and a half hour round trip drive to work each morning. It is absolutely terrible, though I probably spend more time complaining about it than actually doing it.
To combat this menace of boredom, I've been burning through back episodes of podcasts at an alarming rate. Recently I've taken to listening to Good Grief, which I had not discovered before all of this new found alone time on the road. I started listening largely for Sharkey's surly comedy, but found the whole thing to be pretty entertaining so I've stuck with it. I believe the last episode I listened to was number 8, which the subject of games journalism was broached. Sharkey called the other cast members down pretty quickly for navel gazing, but it gave me some things to think about as the trees whipped by down the side of Interstate 81.
I've been a journalist - a (sort of) "real" journalist, in fact. I worked for about a year at a local paper and then about 2 years at a regional news website. I've burned rubber at a call from a police scanner, I've furiously taken notes at the back of a smokey city council room, I've discreetly popped under press barricades to photograph the President of the United States. It's been fun. I didn't necessarily go to school for it, but some amount of luck, chutzpah and desperation landed me there. I guess what I'm saying is that I've seen "real" journalism in action.
What I've also seen is that "real" journalism is becoming just as twisty and ethereal as games journalism. As mentioned on the podcast, games journalists do seem to spend a lot of time worrying and discussing journalism, potentially because they want so much to be recognized as such. News journalists are fighting a different fight all together, though, as they struggle to validate their very existence. Flagging profit from both newspaper and television outlets is only one of the "real" journalists' problems right now. They also face the crisis of obsolescence - as the means for distributing information to the masses becomes easier to acquire, they are finding that their 1,000 word stories delivered the day after, 6 hours after, even 30 minutes after the fact are just no longer worth the wait in the eyes of the public. A 120 character tweet or text message from a friend gets people the relevant information immediately.
Can the journalist really believe that whatever perspective they can bring to the story is more valuable or relevant to a reader than that of the reader's neighbor? Of course not. Declining viewership and readership attest this is true.
Naturally, there are a myriad of angles and facets to this, including the desensitization of the public and the desire for 24 hour news coverage of a multitude of different platforms. Shock and heavily skewed news continues to grow in popularity while those outlets with some amount of integrity stumble and fall. Still, the end result is the same - journalism is in trouble. Sad as it is, games journalist may continue to fight and struggle for legitimacy, only one day to win it and find the whole idea of it has long since passed.
2.5 YearsPosted: June 12, 2009
Shit, I almost went 3 years without posting on my 1up blog. Clearly this activity is a focal point of my online experience.
Oddly enough, my current video game selection has a lot to do with that distant last post that I made here. At that long-forgotten time of November of 2006, I was absolutely torn between playing Dragon Quest VIII and Final Fantasy XII. I am not sure why, but I was. Ultimately, I decided to power through the last of DQ8 and then move onto FFXII, which I handily did. I dug into FFXII, expecting my world to lighten into some halcyon glow of Final Fantasy existence.
That it did not.
Somehow, I just put FFXII down and stopped caring. It sort of tickled in the back of my mind every now and then like that $7 late fee I still have at Blockbuster, but I just never managed to pick it back up. Recently, after my company experienced a devastating wave of layoffs due to the current economy, I found myself with not a lot of money but a lot of freetime. Something called me to dust off the old PS2 and fire up Final Fantasy XII. I began to play, and what do you know, but I really enjoyed it.
I've put in about 15 or 20 hours from my previous save and I keep being surprised at just how polished and well put-together this game is. No, it's not even remotely like any other Final Fantasy game, but it somehow scratches the itch in its own crazy way. I realize from everything we've seen about FFXIII and beyond that this game style is probably going to be an evolutionary dead end for the series, and that really makes me sad. FFXII is clearly a product of impressive forward thinking and polish.
Still, even if I don't see any more games like FFXII, it feels like I've still got a long way to go in this play through and maybe that will be enough. Maybe FFXII's gameplay will say all that needs to be said about itself during these coming hours.

On August 6, a town meeting will be held in Durham to elect a new member to the Region 13 Board of Education. The following is a Q&A with Republican candidate Eric Berens.
Age: 41
Family: My wife Ronda and my two daughters that are both students in the school system.
Experience: I am currently the northeast regional manager of a $65 million book of specialty lines insurance business. With a team of underwriters located in Connecticut, New York, and Philadelphia, I am responsible for growing a profitable book of management liability, managed care errors and omissions, and medical malpractice business from Virginia –to- Maine. Prior to this role, I was a founding member of a start-up professional liability company where I created the management liability and financial institutions division. This company was eventually sold in 2008 after we became a publicly traded company back in 2006. My roles have given me deep experience in contract construction and negotiation, financial analysis, risk management, managing diverse teams, and delivering results.
Through the years building and growing businesses, I have allocated time to assist in activities surrounding my children. In 2006, 2007, and 2008 I coached my daughters' soccer teams in the Coginchaug Soccer League. I also helped out where I had time with their music, basketball, and Girl Scout activities– especially the father-daughter square dancing! I have always made an effort to attend field trips too – such as Hammonasset beach for the first graders, the West Hartford Science Center for the 3rd graders, and Plymouth, MA for the 4th grade class! With 20 years of financial industry experience and active in my children's education, I have the experience to make a difference on the Board of Education.
Patch: Why have you chosen to be a candidate for the RSD13 Board of Education?
Berens: My wife and I are similar to many parents and taxpayers in Town that work hard to earn a living and feel we have a solid, above average school system…but at the same time question if the 70% - 75% of local property taxes allocated to the District budget are being put to work in the absolute best manner. Do we deserve a GREAT school system, an envy of other comparable Towns? Sure we do, our kids deserve it! Our tax base deserves the best return for its generous education investment as well. I think I can add to the dialogue with a focus on constant, never changing drive for improvements in learning and efficiencies in operating our large education system.
Patch: What special qualifications would you bring to the board?
Berens: I will bring a very unique view to the Board as both a parent with a 4th and 6th grader in the District as well as being a former student, graduating from Coginchaug in 1989. A little deeper in the weeds perhaps, but I also "graduated" through the Integrated Day program while at District 13 – in my day it was referred to as the "Alternative Education" program managed by Dr. Dan Pearly. I do not believe there has ever been a board member hitting on all three of these experiences. Then there is my business background. I graduated from Central Connecticut State University with a degree in Finance and continued my education at Trinity College with a Masters in Economics. As you can see, I am a BIG believer in education! A solid education and hard work have allowed me to pursue an ongoing and fulfillingcareer in banking and insurance. This special combination of experiences within District 13 as a parent and student, plus my private sector business experience will bring diversity to the current Board of Education.
Patch: Are there any particular areas of local education that you hope to focus on?
Berens: My focus is to first maintain and then soon thereafter grow the overall quality of our local education system. Being like most of my friends that live in town with busy lives shuffling the kids to basketball or Girl Scouts, or music lessons…after putting in a 50 hour week…I do know that getting accurate, timely, and consolidated financial, budgetary, and results oriented information on the District is difficult. Do we really know how much "bang-for-the-buck" we are getting here? At work, my company has a program we call "Dashboard". It consolidates all the real-time production numbers against forecasts…it can trend results, etc. I think the busy taxpayers/parents of Durham deserve some form of "Dashboard" where one click on the website tells them the return on their large tax investment called District 13. With the unfiltered information at the fingertips of our citizens, I think we can become the #1 school system as we would have a buy-in for trading investment dollars (taxes) for better education results. Can we get higher performing students for less expenditures, or can a small incremental increase in tax revenues investing under a different paradigm give a multiplied effect on education results? No one in my circles can answer that question. All we know is that costs go up and the outcomes are hard to pinpoint. The answers are already there, we just need to define, locate, consolidate, and find them…like a business enterprise would. I am excited to roll up my sleeves and be a part of the solution!
Patch: How will you approach balancing the needs of the education system and those of the taxpayer?
Berens: It's not a zero-sum game. The education system and the taxpayers need one another. Taxpayers own property. An excellent school system increases the value of the taxpayers investment (their property). A good school system draws in families that really care about education and want to participate in the community. I find that the rift between the education system and the taxpayer –in any town or city- is not that there are competing forces to balance, but rather the dissemination of information isn't up to today's standards. If taxpayers see a school running very efficiently and producing some of the best students in the state, then balance is achieved. If they see other similar towns producing better students at similar cost structures then we are faced with an unbalanced situation. A situation that we can all agree would need to be corrected. It's no different in business where you have the balance between owners, employees, and customers. If your competition is achieving better production for less money, the owners are not pleased as the value of their firm diminishes as better competitors take the customers. If the owners continue status quo they will begin to hurt their loyal customers who will have no choice but to eventually stop doing business with them and go elsewhere. This leads to a firm with no business that will have no need for employees.
Public schools are a bit of a monopoly and can lapse into some of the traits that fall into monopolistic entities. If you are a business that is always guaranteed customers what incentives are there for exceeding expectations? A school system that takes 75% of the tax dollars that isn't performing at its peak diminishes a town's value –as investment tax dollars are wasted where they could have been employed better elsewhere (like better streets, other services, etc). Taxpayers with great informational tools can act as informed owners and better self-police the school system to either force change or continue status quo should high standards rule the day.
Patch: Any additional thoughts?
Berens: If I do something I do it 100%.
Editor's Note: Democratic candidate Eileen Buckheit will challenge Berens for the seat. We hope to bring you a Q&A with Buckheit this week. Stay tuned.

SCRUM Resource: Lessons Learned in Managing Object-Oriented Development
SCRUM project management is becoming increasingly important as scalability of SCRUM across multiple projects in large organizations is attempted. On 18 December, I posted a note on how to provide charts and graphs for management of a SCRUM project in less than 10 minutes per day.
For those implementing SCRUM, it is useful to understand the historical experience that has led to development and enhancement of the SCRUM process in recent years. A better informed SCRUM Master will run a better SCRUM.
Today, I was filing away one of the early papers that was useful in thinking about managing object-oriented development projects. SCRUM works for any type of project, but it is particularly adapted to the iterative cycle of object technology projects. The Pittman paper is as relevant today as when it was written in 1993. For those of you in large companies, it even indicates how to estimate projects using Barry Boehm's COCOMO methodology. While this is not necessary for most SCRUM projects, it can be useful in satisfying even the most demanding beaurocracy. It also will force you to think hard about the key forces that drive project success. Check out:
Pittman, Matthew. Lessons Learned in Managing Object-Oriented Development. IEEE Software 10:1:43-53, Jan/Feb 1993.

SCRUM: Dealing with Bugs in a Sprint
Update on 17 Sep 2008: Please note that this is a very old posting in the early days of PatientKeeper before we learned how to eliminate the "QA Sprint" or "stabilization Sprint" before going to full production in a hospital system. The stabilization Sprint fully involved cross-functional teams. In 2003, a new CEO asked why the definition of DONE couldn't be at least four large hospitals system live with no outstanding issues at the end of every monthly Sprint. It took us two years of work to achieve this and beginning in 1995, PatientKeeper goes live at the end of every Sprint with no extra time for QA, regression or performance testing. Also the Sprint in this posting was an emergency that painfully taught us that a Sprint longer than one month should never be done. This Sprint represents a failure mode that we have never done again.
The good news about this posting is that it shows how early PatientKeeper implemented the best Scrum tracking system I have ever seen. It stills has significant advantages over any Scrum tool on the market. It has been migrated to Jira as the underlying storage system for all tasks. Bugs are simply another development task in this system.
Recently a question was posted on the object-technology list asking how to handle bugs during a SCRUM sprint. We have refined the art of SCRUM project management at PatientKeeper during the past couple of years to handle multiple simultaneous sprints with thousands of simultaneous tasks, integrating bug tracking with development project tracking. The requirement for the project management system was less than 60 seconds per day per developer to update, and less than 10 minutes per day for the project manager to do complete reporting with charts and graphs.
In order to meet this requirement, the developers could not use any other software program than the bug tracking system they already used. We added only a few data items to include development tasks in with bugs - class (development task or bug), initial estimate, time invested, and percent complete. Our team was already using an the open source bug tracking system GNATS. We enhanced GNATS with these data items and the ability to dump data into an Excel spreadsheet automatically, every day, for the project manager.
The Burndown Chart above was published in: Sutherland, Jeff. Agile Can Scale: Inventing and Reinventing SCRUM in Five Companies. Cutter IT Journal 14:12:5-11, Dec 2001. If you would like a copy, send me email.
The chart represents a rather long Sprint required to deliver Release 6 of the PatientKeeper mobile product for clinical results. Planning for this project started in April (while another release was in progress) and development items were entered into GNATS which included initial estimates. Initial estimates are frozen and cannot be changed after entry. This allows us to assess estimation accuracy at a later date. You can see the backlog building as new project pieces are entered. The Sprint was kicked off in June and there was a rapid increase in backlog as product marketing added new tasks and developers found out their initial estimates were too short or tasks were missing. In the initial part of a Sprint, the challenge is to get the backlog complete and start flying the backlog curve down into the delivery date. In this case delivery had a hard stop at 20 August.
As bugs are found they go into the same system. It is possible to enter estimates for fixing bugs, but we usually track them by count. The data dumped to the project manager allows the data to be look at in multiple ways. It also shows bug inflow and outflow by day so you can see how many bugs are being found and fixed as you move forward.This metric is one of the most critical information for assessing stability of the code, as well as the success of the project. In the development Sprint which ended on 20 August in this chart, the focus is on cumulative days remaining for unfinished tasks which includes testers working with developers to eliminate bugs. On August 20, we moved into a stabilization sprint to assure the system was fully production ready and take it live at a large hospital system. The teams then shifted to focus totally on bug counts remaining day by day, including inflow and outflow.
Testing is going on during the development cycle and tasks should not be completed until high priority bugs are eliminated. If bugs are found after the task is logged complete, it can be reopened, or the bug can be fixed by the developer owner in the midst of working on other tasks. In any case, this effort is reflected in a rising or falling backlog curve. At the end of every day, each developer reviews tasks and bugs being worked on in the same GNATS user interface, and updates the database in less than 60 seconds.
This is the best project management system I have ever seen or experienced. Time required for update and reporting project management statistics has been reduced by at least two orders of magnitude over other approaches I've seen. In addition, the Backlog Curve reflects thousands of individual estimates that are updated daily. This micro-costing of the project effort yields more accurate estimates of project completion than other approaches. Highly recommended!

Born: July 28
Patricia Adams, bandleader and vocalist, shuttles her renditions of standards from renaissance Harlem and Tin Pan Alley between Manhattan, Westchester, Hartford and Boston.
Stepping onto a nightclub stage for the first time in 1992 at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, Adams segued to designated show opener there for the Frank Wilkins Vocal Showcase until 1996. Many open mics and pro bono gigs later, she traded her thirty-five year career in human resources management for life as a full time artist. Her venues now attract those who enjoy the jazz and blues standards of the 1930's and '40's. Her mailing list has grown from family and friends to thousands. She plays with some of the world's renowned jazz artists, including Ray Santisi, Marshall Wood, Bob Moses, Joe Hunt, Bill Wurtzel, John Repucci, Frank Wilkins, Fred Hunter, Ross Schneider, Joe Lovano, Stanley C. Swann, III and the late Jimmy Hill, so far....

CD Review: "First Sundays comes from a regular first Sunday of the month gig at Ryles Jazz club in Boston where a quartet led by vocalist Patricia Adams holds forth. It's an old school presentation, even to the point of announcing the songwriters before doing each song, but it works. Adams has a deep, mature voice with a hint of Carmen McRae to it and she is experienced enough to find some new life in the old chestnuts she sings. Her vibrating, veteran voice is an asset for conveying the requisite emotion of rueful ballads like "If You Could See Me Now" and "I've Got It Bad." She has sensitive and classy backing also with Ray Santisi doing a lot of frisky arpeg¬gios behind the singing and also sneaking in a perky solo here and there." Jerome Wilson, CADENCE Magazine, April/May/June 2009
Patricia Adams and the Ray Santisi Trio (with Greg Loughman and Gary Johnson) - - the trio is superb and the vocalist keeps growing. The changes are subtle. She has worked with a good deal of confidence for some time now but she's taken another step beyond mere assuredness. Her presence these days is calm. There is no hurry. There is no angst. As a result her stage presence is smoother and her interaction with the audience is more informal. None of this is casual. It all has intent, an intent that shows to advantage in her singing. Because she is focused and calm, her voice seems to obey her more effectively. Wherever she takes the sounds, the impression is that the result is exactly what she wanted, even when she takes chances. It's a lot of fun to witness. CADENCE Magazine, Spring 2008
"Ryles was having a private party 6/2 and wanted to follow that with a Jazz group. Patricia Adams, Ray Santisi and friends took up the challenge. Throughout the first set the audience did grow, and it was a lucky audience. Patricia Adams is supposed to be retired, but she's offering the best singing of her life right now. Ray Santisi grabbed Dave Zox and Bob Savine to replace the regulars and two very interesting things happened. The three instrumentalists do not play with each other regularly, but they are all reliable veterans. And so we had the fine experience of hearing very good music during the first set and the group really came together during the second set. That's what real pros can do. The other interesting development was the clinic that Ray put on. I'm not a piano player but even in my ignorance I found myself shaking my head in amazement. No doubt any piano player in the audience would have been inspired-or perhaps frightened into giving up the instrument. It was a master indulging in the sheer joy of tackling the possibilities (maybe the impossibilities of the instrument." Stu Vandermark, CADENCE Magazine, August 2007
. . . It happens every time I go there [Ryles Jazz Club]. Again, I ended up sitting at the bar during the 4/1 brunch because there was a twenty-minute wait for a table. And this was after noon. Later I was able to get a table down close because things settle down by 1:30. If you came for the piano, there was plenty of it in the form of Ray Santisi's trio featuring Greg Loughman and Gary Johnson . By now they really work as a team. But it is Patricia Adams' gig, and the focus is her singing (in conversation with an active piano, bass and drums). So, no matter what you show up to listen to, you get plenty of it, and it's all high quality stuff. I found Patricia's singing particularly convincing on that gig. Stu Vandermark, CADENCE Magazine, June 2007
How can a woman with this many years in middle management sound so warm and personable, and even a bit like Lena Horne? Go! doesn't know, but she's got it. The BOSTON GLOBE, December 2004
I went to Ryles 2/5 to check out the jazz brunch featuring the music of Patricia Adams, Ray Santisi and friends. It was one of the coldest days of the year; I figured I'd have an easy time getting a good seat. Much to my surprise people were lined up outside the club waiting to get in. I'm a coward. I abandoned the idea of getting a table and carried out an end run by having my meal at the bar. I was able to hear most of what was happening within the quartet above the din. It's easy to say that people show up Sunday mornings to get some food and chat; there is a lot of talking that goes on. But the audience seems to get bigger each time I show up. There has been no change to the menu. Some local convention may account for an occasional increase now and then,. But it would not account for the gradual increase in audience size over time. I doubt that the conversations are improving. Maybe it's the music. Maybe the audience is hearing it better and wants to hear more. I suppose that it's possible really good music could draw a crowd. Maybe that's what's going on . . . CADENCE Magazine, April 2007
10/1 brunch at Ryles . . . And then there's Ray, perhaps buoyed by the happy connection between bass and drums, dancing even more beautifully than usual (yes, it is possible). No wonder Patricia Adams sounded so upbeat throughout the last two sets that I caught. She had plenty to be happy about, not the least of which is the fact that more and more listeners are showing up. It's food for the ears. CADENCE Magazine, December 2006
" . . Ryles 8/5 turned out to be quite a highlight in August. In a town having more than its share of superb bass players John Repucci . . . was operating in a trio setting with Ray Santisi and Bob Moses, both performing up to their substantial reputations. . . backing up Patricia Adams who was telling stories to a very attentive audience. Oh if all audiences could be that good at the usually noisy club. But maybe they heard what I heard, a vocalist who has developed a rep and who keeps getting better anyway. A special evening.", CADENCE Magazine, October 2006

Car Immolated on Potrero Brings Back Bad Memories
Categories: Crime
|It wasn't quite this bad. We think
Was this the work of the infamous carsonist? Or a copycat?
Details are sadly scant: San Francisco Fire Department units responded to a "suspicious" care fire at the the 1100 block of Rhode Island Street at 1:30 a.m. last night, according to Bay City News, (via the SF Appeal).
Firefighters extinguished the blaze, "which was determined to be suspicious." No word on damage, extent of the fire, or whether a wad of newspapers was used to kindle the flames, which was one of the calling cards of the johnny blazer.
We'll keep you posted if we hear anything else. And we're forced to admit: it is a lot harder to destroy a bicycle via flame.

"The amnesty issue is being distorted. This is not about the rights of people here legally or of equal rights — it is about people who are here illegally wanting everyone to ignore the fact that they broke the law to get into this country," said Project 21 member Geoffrey Moore. "The civil rights movement was about some American citizens being treated worse than others. The rallies happening now are about lawbreaking non-citizens wanting to be given the same rights and benefits of those who came to America through the proper immigration channels."[...]"If illegal immigrants want to remain in America and enjoy the benefits of liberty, proper legal processing is required," said Project 21 member Deneen Moore. "The civil rights movement was a fight for justice and equality. Illegal immigrants are fighting the rule of law."
Civil rights is a common theme of amnesty proponents. For example, at a recent rally in Atlanta, a sign mimicking the famous words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. read "We have a Dream, Too." Partha Banerjee of the New Jersey Immigration Policy Network said in an interview with OneWorld.net: "(T)his is really a new civil right movement reborn in this country... This is not just about the immigrants. It's about human and civil rights, it's about all marginalized, underprivileged people in the United States." Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), who introduced legislation to grant permanent residency status to long-term illegal aliens, said on "Democracy Now" radio: "My bill attempted to craft this as a civil rights issue... I believe (amnesty) is a civil rights question."
Black columnist Earl Ofari Hutchinson has noted: "The CBC and civil rights leaders tread lightly on the immigration rights battle... They are loath to equate their movement with the civil rights battles of the 1960s."
The rights belonging to an individual by virtue of citizenship, especially the fundamental freedoms and privileges guaranteed by the 13th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and by subsequent acts of Congress, including civil liberties, due process, equal protection of the laws, and freedom from discrimination.
If there is downward preassure on wages due to immigration Which group is hurt most? Blacks. And if there is more strain on social services due to unlimited immigration then who is hurt most? Blacks.
If african americans and the despicable gringos do not unite on this, we might as well give them California. Hey, now that's an idea.....
If so, isn't the present situation similar to the Civil Rights Movement ??

henno wrote:http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/DevelopmentandHousing/Planning/FileDownLoad,1611,en.pdf
Have a look at the above document, pay attention paragrpahs 5.8 and 5.9.
The minimum standards you are refering to are generally applicable to apartments and not houses. in apartments there needs to be a certain amount of communal open space as well.
pay attention to this paragraph....
"All houses (terraced, semi-detached, detached) should have an area of private open space
behind the building line. In general the requirement should be 60 - 75m2 minimum for
3/4/5 bedroom houses in order to ensure that most household activities are
accommodated and that it is at the same time adequate to offer visual delight, receive
some sunshine and encourage plant growth. A slightly reduced standard may be
acceptable where 1 and 2 bedroom houses are proposed but in no instance should a
figure of less than 48m2 per dwelling be acceptable"
therefor ethe existing at 41 and proposed at 31 both do not meet recommended MINIMUM standards.
allison1707 wrote:Sorry just catching up on the previous post,
What do you mean about one getting the front garden and another getting the Back garden?
I have front garden of 79sq.m for the existing house and 52sq.m front garden for the new house then the 41sq m back garden for old and 31sq m for new. Any help?
allison1707 wrote:Sorry for tardy reply.
Excluding Parking space.
henno wrote:why not just show two single bed rooms.....
as internal alterations are exempt from planning permission.
wearnicehats wrote:careful now - don't forget the floor area cert. It would have to be marketed and sold as 2 single bedrooms
allison1707 wrote:Oh also I forgot to mention that I havent included the side entrance for both houses even though its tiny, would that make any difference?
I would have a combined back garden of 72sq m which using the 12sq m per bedspace would be spot on but using the 15sq m area I would need another 18sq m! I dont think my side is 6sq m let alone 18!! bummer!
Any1 any opions on wether it would be worth my while appealing to bord plenala based on the neighbours approval with his 38sq m per 2 bed? If i redo my plans to share my 72sq m equally (36) and include the shared side entrance between both houses, this should bring me up to 38sq m each. Any one any ideas?
Ive also just looked at some previous planning decisions in the d12 area and one has caught my eye. An application for 2 new houses, one terraced and one end of terrace, were their private open spaces were 37m2 and 25m2 respectively. This pp was granted.
Seriously confused now!
Thanks all
henno wrote:isnt the floor area cert done on the basis of whats constructed?... what im suggesting is showing 2 single bedrooms for planning, and moving internal walls when constructing to include larger bedrooms..... it may not be proper but it is still legal.
wearnicehats wrote:in order to get the cert you have to show compliance with your planning permission. not sure how you plan to do that legally?
allison1707 wrote:Ok we finally got an answer from the planner who made the decision
45-48sq m is what we need for both houses according to the DOE of 1999. We dont have it so no PP.
On the house directly facing me, If he was on the case he would not have granted pp the same with all the others in my area.
We dont have enough private back garden space for any development no mater what way we tweek the plans now or in the future. (so dont submit again)
Our only option left is to appeal to an bord plenala. and good luck with that.
Isnt that great news first thing on a monday morning! There goes all my plans. So bascially as you have all told me, altho I was living in hope, tough sxxt the law is the law. Even thought it is outdated!!!! AGH!!!!!
Im not giving up, I will submit an appeal to an bord pleanala on the weak case of precedence and hope they are all going on hols and in such good humour that they ignore the facts and think my pictures are pretty!!!!!
Thanks again

The World Would Be A Better Place If Hillary Clinton Was The President-elect
by Nancy Kallitechnis, Wed Dec 24, 2008 at 01:45:10 PM EST
How sad that sexists fought against women's right to be president (http://tinyurl.com/6ms9f7,http://www.allseasonsgallery.info/hrc/hr c.sexism.html). And sadder still is that they won-for now. Male domination (patriarchy) causes a lot of problems, but the worst is that it causes rape (http://tinyurl.com/9qy5z5). The horror of patriarchy continues because people did not vote for the candidate from the most oppressed group in the world.
The world would be a better place if Hillary Clinton was president because it would be a huge step forward against the patriarchy and for women and girls and also because Hillary Clinton was the best candidate, in my opinion, to repair the economy, ensure a strong national security and create compassionate social services. The great political lesson of this year is to support women candidates to end the horrors of patriarchy. I look forward to my next opportunity to vote for a woman! I know that it is right to vote to end male domination. As lightening rod feminist Alice Paul said:
"I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality."
*Please note: Many of my reply posts have been hidden. All my replies were polite and on topic so I presume I was censored because people wanted to hide information they didnt want readers to know about. When I wrote my Sep 27, 2008 diary about ten of my replies were hidden which ended the conversation I was having with people so I decided I will no longer reply to comments on my diaries until this web site is changed to allow peoples posts to be viewed by everyone.

Her fourth-grade teacher considers her a role model for other students.
Her mother says she has boundless energy and is always looking for opportunities to help others.
She's only 10 years old, but Ryleigh Storm Cyr has developed a resume of volunteerism and achievements that would rival those of many adults.
Not that she's thinking of a career at such a young age. For now, she's happy to spend her time studying and dancing, visiting elderly people in nursing homes, and setting aside her allowance for causes such as donating Build-a-Bears to autistic children.
"I buy a bear, dress it up and donate it to kids who have autism," Ryleigh said. "I've done it twice so far and I want to continue doing it."
Ryleigh, a straight A student at Pentucket Lake Elementary School, has her hands into many things. She's a student council representative as well as a competitive dancer at Just Dance Complex in North Andover.
"In the classroom, she sets high goals for herself and always strives to meet them," said Amanda Roche, Ryleigh's fourth-grade teacher. "She participates in all of our classroom activities with a positive, upbeat attitude and her bright personality is a great model for other students."
As a member of her school's "Chief's Council," Ryleigh is always dedicated to attending the meetings and offering ideas that help others, Roche said, adding that Ryleigh is a very generous student. Roche said that one day Ryleigh brought in a book from her personal library to donate to her classroom library so other children could read it.
"Her level of personal responsibility is amazing for a girl her age," Roche said.
"Right now, the student council is thinking about spirit week and what we can do," Ryleigh said. "Every Friday, we do recycling and take all the bins and dump them out. And at assemblies, we put all the chairs back on racks and we sometimes get a cool reward like a pencil or an eraser."

It has begun!
|#1 Subject: It has begun! Posted: 04/21/2010 08:17:18
So this is mainly a "hello" to the 1UP community. For those who own or just want to know more about Demon's Souls in particular the co-op aspect. Join up! Get helpful tips on the game or set up meeting places in the game with other people to help you out in tough sections. Do you even know how the co-op works in Demon's Souls? We can explain. Some info to keep in mind for new members wanting to help others or needing help in the game; Character class & specialization, Soul level & area you frequent in the game so members can better find you to help or be helped.
I have 3 characters;
1 Hunter at soul level 89, just started new game plus so I can be flexible to help those in new game plus.
1 Male Mage at soul level 65, I only have left to defeat "Storm King", "Old Monk", "False King" & optional "Red Dragon." This character can be found a lot in Boletaria 1-4 soul hunting in the area right after the "Penetrator archstone." I've defeated the "Blue Dragon" there and only need to beat the boss but could use some help! Let me know for a meet up!
1 Female Mage at soul level 29, I'm able to help just about anywhere since I haven't done much with the character. There are some items that are male and female only but I haven't acquired a really cool female only item for a mage at least....so if anyone knows of one throw me a bone.
Hope this helps, a post on the bosses and an explanation with tips on co-op in the game is coming shortly.

In response to: PUUbear
Yeah it kinda does....see you can only help those close to your level. I think its something like 10 or 15 soul levels...something like that. Thats why I don't wanna level past 90 for now because I've been trading stones and stuff to level up my weapons and get the trophies. I just got the spiderstone trophy! yay! Also this is why I started a few characters. I'd help ya but my highest character is only at 90.
@ScrtAznMann: When you do, we'll be here!

Phalanx...kinda a tease. Hes not nearly as tough as the rest. Stick with the world your in and take
the Tower Knight. Also watch out because if you're alive and you go into a new area you might get
invaded by a black phantom...so when you're ready to beat the boss find backup. No shame in this
game for finding backup. But some bosses are funner alone. Do you know how to use the stones

Not really. I looked at their description, apparently they allow you to travel to other peoples games?

I haven't touched this game in months, been waiting for summer vacation to beat it...so now I have the time. Haven't played a game in a long time that takes this much dedication. But the end results are rewarding.

Ok, Blue stones are ones you place in heavily populated areas so other players within 10 levels
of you can summon you. You get summoned then help them out until you die, they die or the boss
is defeated. You can only do this in soul form. When your "alive" you may find blue markers on the
ground, this is other players who want to be summoned. You can look at their percentages, grades,
and decide to summon them or not. The fog gates are important to keep an eye out for because
when you place your blue stone in the world you can't travel too far from it otherwise your stone will
go away. Black stones you get from the NPC Black Phantoms in 2-2. This stone can be used to
"invade" other peoples world. Its usually random but players can summon Black phantoms for PVP.
I'm not sure how exactly but I know its possible. White stone is used to get you out of someone's
world. Use it to get back to yours. Thats more or less the basics of the stones. Its pretty cool so try it!

Thanks for starting this club! I just go the game this weekend ($19 on Amazon with soundtrack, amazing!), so am pretty low on the soul level...I'd love to join up when I get a bit higher. :p
Any recommendations on class choice for a 1st time playthrough? I'm currently a male Temple Knight....

Hydrotrim Plus Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Hydrotrim Plus is offered by Diamond Nutrition. The official website for Diamond Nutrition is not the most professional on the Internet, but it does provide customers with a listing of the current products for sale, contact information including mailing address, email and phone contact numbers, and information on the various products and the ingredients listed in the products. The majority of the supplements offered by Diamond Nutrition are aimed at the bodybuilder or those wanting to increase muscle mass with the use of proteins and amino acids. There is no ingredient list offered on the Diamond Nutrition website, but outside retailers offer an extensive list of ingredients.
Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, L-TYROSINE UPS, Senna Leaf Powder, Fennel Seed Powder, Licorice Root Powder, Citrus Aurantium, 5-Hydroxy Trytophan (5-HTP), Guggulipids, Yohime Bark Extract 4%, Stimulant Proprietary Blend, Guarana , Kola Nut and Caffeine USP.
Product Features
The Hydrotrim offers a list of ingredients that are more stimulating than weight loss oriented. The Guarana, kola nut and caffeine are all stimulants. This is not to mention the stimulant proprietary blend that lists no ingredients. According to the website, the Hydrotrim Plus product was added to the website in May of 2005. The product shows available, but the website is clearly not completely set up. When looking for a return policy, there were several places where the website template was supposed to include restocking fees and other fees. We did find a return policy stating the store would need to be contacted in order to receive instructions on how to return products. The shipping and handling fee is non-refundable which is very common on all Internet orders.
The Diamond Nutrition website offers 90 capsules of Hydrotrim Plus for $34.95, but the price is lower at some outside retailers. Hydrotrim Plus is to be taken one half hour before a meal. With 90 capsules in a bottle and 2 capsules per serving, the bottle could hold as few as 15 days' supply. There are no warnings listed on the Diamond Nutrition website about the huge amount of stimulants in the supplement or regarding pregnant women, lactating women or people with health problems. This is a huge oversight on behalf of the website. No testimonials are found on the site.
- None.
- The website is not professional or complete.
- There is no product information on the website.
- There are no ingredient listings for Hydrotrim Plus.
- There are no health warnings.
- The product has three to four stimulants.
- The price is high compared to other weight loss supplements.
There is something to be said for a website that never bothered to finish setting up the pages of the site. The information on Hydrotrim Plus is limited to a phrase about losing weight and burning fat. With no ingredient lists, no warnings and no information, not only would we suggest passing on this website but also on this product. The external information on Hydrotrim Plus is limited, as well. When choosing a weight loss supplement, a fat burner and an appetite suppressant are the best choice. Three or four stimulants are too much for any one supplement and may be harmful to the health.

Some considerations for making this big decision.
Professional Master's Degree in Science
Love science, but can't see yourself going the PhD route?

Considering a Graduate Degree in History?
Consider these pragmatic issues to determine if a graduate degree in History is for you.
Can I Switch Fields and Go to Graduate School in a Different Area?
Are your graduate study options limited by your college major?
Plan Ahead to Apply to Graduate School
Plan ahead for the best shot at getting into the grad program of your dreams.

The newest substation of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company will be located at the corner of Maryland Route 924 and Patterson Mill Road. The project is expected to cost about $2.8 million and be completed in September 2012, according to a release from the county executive's office.
A Bel Air architect and planning company, Edmeades and Stromdahl, Ltd., is responsible for the 9,000-square-foot station that will be powered in part by solar energy, according to the business's website.
Upon completion, Patterson Mill of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company with the first on Hickory Avenue in Bel Air and other on East Jarresttsville Road in Forest Hill.

There's a house on Tip Top Drive in east Columbus that has a big red D on the front door and a big wrecking company dumpster in the driveway. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
But according to Concerned Reader Betty, it's been that way since January or February, which is kind of strange. As we've learned in this line of work, it takes a while for the condemnation and demolition process to work. But after the red D is applied, it usually doesn't take anywhere near that long.
So I called Fred Cobb, assistant director for inspections and codes, and asked him what his department knows about the property. After some investigation, he explained:
In order to condemn a house, the city inspects it and if they find it to be dilapidated, they send a certified letter to the property owner. He or she then has 45 days to appear in the city manager's office for a hearing to explain why the house is in such bad shape and what they plan to do about it.
If the owner doesn't appear in that time frame, the city slaps the red D on it and starts the process of getting Columbus Council to pay to have it knocked down.
What happened on Tip Top Drive was that the owner didn't appear in the 45-day window, so the red D was applied. But he subsequently came to the city and said he wants to restore the property.
"He's pulled building and electrical permits to start doing the work," Cobb said. "But then the work stopped."
So now the city is working with the owner to see if he still wants to fix the property. Otherwise, it's toast.
"We want to work with the homeowner," Cobb said. "We don't want to incur the cost of demolition to the taxpayer and then put a lien on the property unless we have no choice."
So the bottom line, Betty, is that the property up the street from you is going to get either fixed up or torn down.
Oh, and if you're wondering why there's a Reaves Wrecking dumpster in the driveway, the owner put it there for construction debris, Cobb explained.
Across town at 2300 Third Ave., the remains of the house certainly qualified for the wrecking ball, as we learned last week. And, while the process sometimes takes a while before the wreckers start wrecking, that wasn't the case with this burned-out old relic.
It's already been torn down and hauled away.

For Miley Cyrus' American Music Award appearance, the 21-year-old pop star avoided twerking, on-stage spliffs and anything remotely controversial during her performance of "Wrecking Ball." But she did bring a friend along with her: A giant kitten appeared on the screen behind her and lip-synced while she belted out her hit single. In a testament to their friendship, Miley donned a bikini-type leotard that featured kitten faces on it and the cat returned the favor at the end, sticking out its tongue with a wink.

Reading, Writing and 'Rithmetic: Brooklin Schools
When Brooklin, located on the Blue Hill Peninsula, was incorporated in 1849, there were ten school districts and nine one-room school houses. As the years went by, population changes affected the location and number of schools in the area. State requirements began to determine ways that student's education would be handled. Regardless, education of the Brooklin students always remained a high priority for the town.
Young men and women in the 19th century often went away from home -- sometimes for a few months, sometimes for longer periods -- to attend academies, seminaries, or schools run by individuals. While there, they wrote letters home, reporting on boarding arrangements and coursework undertaken, and inquired about the family at home.
John Bapst High School was dedicated in September 1928 to meet the expanding needs of Roman Catholic education in the Bangor area. The co-educational school operated until 1980, when the diocese closed it due to decreasing enrollment. Since then, it has been a private school known as John Bapst Memorial High School.

"Good afternoon, we are here today because we are continuing to focus on the issue that has continued to provide an impediment for job growth in our economy and that is the overregulation and the environment which it has brought on in America. We hear over and over again that it is just too difficult to start up a business. We know that over the last three years, there's been a 23% decline in new business start ups in America. We also are all going home and hearing from constituents who say it's very difficult to grow a business, much less just keep the lights on, because of the increased burden at all levels of government on small business.
"As a conference, we are very much on the side of the small business owner. We believe it was they who did build their businesses. In that vein, we are trying to cut the red tape, we are trying to reduce the regulatory burden so we can see the economy bounce back. Now I'm going to introduce to you some of the freshmen members who have taken the lead on this, and are dedicated to doing all we can to grow this economy through the job engines, our small businesses. I'd like to call on the bill's chief sponsor, and that bill is the moratorium on any future regulation until the economy bounces back, from Little Rock, Arkansas, Tim Griffin."

at Dewy Meadow Village in Basking Ridge Saturday held its official ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. The new center's director and owner, Purvi Patel, said she wants to let the community know the center is open and enrolling students.
The public is invited to an open house with refreshments and tours provided between 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the new center, at 403 King George Road.
The new center's owner, Purvi Patel, said she wants to let the community know the center is open and enrolling students.
The philosophy of the tutoring center is to invite students into a welcoming environment where they can learn at their own pace, and learning is fun, said Patel.
She said the center pairs one tutor with two students at a time. That way, a student will receive instruction, and then work on applying a concept, while the tutor turns to the other student for some one-on-one time, Patel explained.
"We are there if you need us," Patel said, but the idea is not to let the study rely on the tutor to work out or solve each solution.
According to announcement posted on Patch, The Tutoring Center is a national franchise with a location in Basking Ridge. The center's experienced educators will staff a "Little Geniuses in Training" program for four- and five-year-olds, and other programs for beginner and advanced reading, kindergarten through grades 8 math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, homework help and study skill tutoring.
The center serves students K-12, Patel said. She said the center offers a PSAT preparation course, and is examining an SAT prep course to add later.
Parents may call The Tutoring Center at 908-350-7447 to schedule a free diagnostic appointment, the announcement said.
"We are very proud of this new after school learning center, but we are most excited about the potential it represents for the residents of this community," said Patel. "We have done something important that will improve children's lives for years to come."
Besides Basking Ridge, Patel said she has been receiving sign-ups from Warren Township, nearby Long Hill Township and even North Plainfield. Patel, a Bridgewater resident, said the high quality of schools in Bernards Township was among the reasons she chose to locate in Basking Ridge.
Patel said she knows she has competition from other learning centers within the township, but she said she chose to become part of The Tutoring Center because she wants to offer a relaxing, warm environment where students will be able to learn.
The Bernards Twp. Regional Chamber of Commerce's executive members will be at Saturday's ceremony, the announcement said. The chamber has worked with the establishment of the new center and "has been incredibly inviting and helpful in our adventure as new business owners," Patel said.
Al LiCata, executive director of the chamber, said Saturday that the local business organization wants to promote a new business opening in town.
LiCata said that other new businesses will open soon, but he declined to name those expected arrivals, or where they would be located.
