Duplexes approved for commercial lot on Haven Ave.

The ŌĆ£by rightŌĆØ subdivision did not require a variance. Four new duplex lots were created, one 50-by 115-foot lot on the corner and three 40-by-115 lots on the interior.
With the plan approved, the much maligned, long abandoned plumbing supply warehouse will soon be demolished, putting the controversial zoning issue to rest. No one from the public spoke for or against the proposed subdivision.
Last year, City Council approved an ordinance to rezone the 1300 block of Haven from commercial use to residential multi-family, to more accurately reflect the long stretch of duplexes that had been built with the use of variances over the past decade.
The biggest bone of contention was the old plumbing supply warehouse that sat on the corner, on a 170-by-115 foot lot. Neighbors complained that the dilapidated building was both an eyesore and a safety hazard. Zoned for commercial use in a struggling economy, the lot was nearly impossible to sell as investors steered away from commercial development.
Located near the city bike path, neighbors said the corner should be re-zoned to encourage development. In addition, each of the duplex owners struggled to refinance mortgages, among other issues, because they were in a non-conforming zone.
So they banded together to ask council to ŌĆ£make them wholeŌĆØ by rezoning the entire block, alleviating their own suffering and enabling the owners of the decaying plumbing supply building to locate a buyer.
Property owners within the newly created duplex zone cheered the move, but some on the outside bemoaned the fact that council had created four new duplex lots in a city that already boasts an abundance of the same.
The situation came to a boil, riling up even a few planning board members, including former Chairwoman Sally Jo Deluca, who publicly chastised council for not allowing the issue to come to the planning board through the master plan process. To complete the process to allow the aging building to disappear, the planning board had to approve a subdivision for the large lot.
Everyone seemed relieved when it was over.
ŌĆ£All the lots are fully conforming, all requirements have been met,ŌĆØ said city planner Randy Scheule, giving the proposal his blessing.
The plan will move forward without one requirement: a ŌĆ£bump outŌĆØ on the southwest corner, designed as a ŌĆ£traffic calming measureŌĆØ to make it safer for bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not a good idea,ŌĆØ said architect Terry Thomas, citing bicycle and traffic issues.
New development in the area requires such bump outs, but since only one corner is in question, to bump out one corner but not others, in the area, he said, would confuse drivers and bicyclists.
Planning board members agreed that the issue should be tackled along a long stretch of Haven, to be done all at once, or one block at a time, rather than piecemeal. One corner, they decided, could be a huge safety hazard.
Board Chairman John Loeper said he was happy to see the process, which began in July 2010 come to an end.
ŌĆ£The neighborhood was made whole,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Everyone wants to see that building come down, and see something nice on that lot.ŌĆØ
The plumbing supply business, he noted, long predated the stretch of duplexes that were built over a decade ago. The area was at one time dotted with commercial use.
When developers proposed a new project in the late 1990s it was welcomed.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm very proud of that, it created a nice family neighborhood,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£The variances were granted at that time because the developers proposed a plan that was really justified; nice, low-cost duplexes that became a year-round neighborhood. It came out beautiful. The owners take good care of the buildings; it was a good idea and improved the neighborhood dramatically.
ŌĆ£The only problem was that all of those duplexes were non-conforming,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Now it ends, we have made everyone whole. The plumbing supply warehouse will come down after the 45-day waiting period for appeals is over, and thatŌĆÖs a good thing.ŌĆØ

Anyone have a bottle of Purell? I have heard two icky stories about celebrities and home pregnancy tests and I'm feeling kinda dirty. F
irst, it was Jerry Seinfeld. In Page Six last week, Jerry talked about how his wife, Jessica, told them she was pregnant two months after they got hitched. "She had one of those [home pregnancy test] sticks that you buy at the drugstore," Jer said. "I was sleeping and she started tapping the stick on the pillow. So I opened my eyes. It was great."
The second came from the stunning Halle Berry, who talked to Oprah today about her stash of used preg tests that she stored in a drawer. "I'm sort of superstitious," she said, "so I saved all of the negative [pregnancy] tests in a drawer. Don't ask! I don't know why, but I did. ... After about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test."
Okay... so don't you pee on the stick to get a reading? Then people take these urine-covered things and wipe them on pillows or store them in drawers? It just sounds so icky to me. Am I overreacting?

Getting clean and sober from Dextromethorphan (DXM), Ambien, alcohol or any other addictive substance you or your loved one is addicted to takes an specifically-tailored treatment plan. Two options of drug or alcohol addiction treatment facilities in Lincoln can help you succeed: either Inpatient or Out-patient Rehab. Residential care offers long-run gains with extended residence in a top rated rehabilitation program. From-home plans may be "easier", but lack the constancy and resources of 90-day programs to get free from drugs. Ultimately, your decision is your own, and we are here to help you choose the best option.
Withdrawing yourself from the conditions of the drug or alcohol addiction can help get rid of disruptions and temptations that prevent complete sobriety. When viewing rehab as a therapeutic shelter, addicts will find luxury exclusive programs in cities outside of Lincoln, Nebraska. Offering resort-like amenities, excellent facilities help achieve a state of physical, mental and emotional recovery. However, those looking for outpatient programs may find a facility close to your residence is a less difficult choice. Still unsure where to look for an outpatient or inpatient drug rehab center in Lincoln, NE? You can reach us at no cost, 24/7 at (888) 716-9806.

A co-occurring disorder refers to people who are simultaneously struggling with both a drug or alcohol abuse issue and a behavioral or mental issue. For instance, an addiction to Adderall, OxyContin, crack or benzodiazepines combined with ADHD or personality disorders. For these people, a residential rehab center is often imperative, incorporating quality inpatient treatments with group support, such as one might experience in Narcotics Anonymous. Luxury drug rehabs in Lincoln, Nebraska will provide excellent rehab services with upscale amenities for anyone requiring the very best drug rehab experience, just as Lincoln alcohol rehab centers will help those battling alcohol to attain sobriety.

Locating Lincoln Rehab Facilities Of all of the people who need help from Lincoln drug rehab centers, few choose to accept assistance. Instead, they move forward with their addictions with the mistaken belief that their substance abuse issues will go away on their own. Unfortunately, addictions rarely resolve in such a spontaneous manner. Instead, you'll need to do a significant amount of hard work in order to heal.
Rehab facilities can make that work a little easier for you to complete.
The Need for Going to Rehabilitation
Most adults are unaccustomed to admitting that they don't have their affairs under tight control. After all, most adults are conditioned to believe that grownups handle all of their own problems without needing the help of other people. The culture of John Wayne and other loners can keep you from feeling like asking for help is both acceptable and helpful when you're in need. Rehab facilities might help you to break down this resistance and learn why you simply might not be able to deal with an addiction on your own. Through therapy, you'll learn:
What Does Therapy Mean?
Addiction rehab programs are built on the foundation of therapy. You'll be paired with a trained expert who knows all about addictions, including how they form and how they can be handled. The therapist will be your partner and your guide, helping you to learn and grow. Together, you'll come up with a series of tools you can use to beat your addiction and help you to live a sober lifestyle.
Compare Rehab Programs in Lincoln
Lincoln drug rehab programs sometimes provide treatments for only specific types of addiction. Some programs, for example, provide care only for crack cocaine addictions, of which Lincoln has a large number, according to the National Drug Intelligence Center. Other programs might provide care specifically for people who are addicted to alcohol or heroin.
There are many other ways to differentiate the care provided by Lincoln rehab programs, including cost, distance from your home or the age of people who are typically enrolled in the program.

In Uganda the criminalization of homo-sexuality in 20141 has complicated the relationship between the Ugandan government and many her Western donors. Some diplomats have been threatened with deportation and in others financial aid has been withheld. Death through mob action has also occurred to some of the victims. The acts (homosexuality) have radical purveyors on one hand and radical perpetrators on the other, making it a contentious issue. This brief aims at examining ways and means for the various stakeholders of this issue to mitigate the effect of the law considering that it is already settled law in Uganda. 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z Brief 14 : understanding gender in climate change adaptation for food security in Cameroon http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/53329 Title: Brief 14 : understanding gender in climate change adaptation for food security in Cameroon Authors: Ndie Abia, Christine; Endeley, Joyce B. Abstract: The evidence presented in this policy brief confirms the occurrence of climate change, its effects on food crop yields with impacts on food security and the centrality of adaptation by women and men farmers to increase food production and ensure food security in Cameroon. It indicates that in various ways, climate change affects food production. As such, farmers have developed adaptation strategies to cope with the impact of climate change but there is disparity in the degree of application of adaptation strategies by women and men farmers. While more women employ less costly indigenous adaptation options (shift in planting dates, mulching and planting of leguminous shrubs), more men tend to adopt irrigation which though highly efficient, tends to be more costly and requires appropriate land tenure rights. Given this trend, it is necessary to mainstream climate change adaptation in agricultural policy in Cameroon as this will likely prevent food insecurity in the long run. 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z Brief 13 : kidnapping and security challenge in Nigeria; perceived causes and solutions http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/53328 Title: Brief 13 : kidnapping and security challenge in Nigeria; perceived causes and solutions Authors: Olu-Owolabi, E.F. Abstract: In recent years, the future of Nigerian society has become a pressing concern as security issues apparently dominate government action and more and more nation states are coming under pressure from their own citizens. Some political analysts have diagnosed it as crisis of representative democracy and argued for a stronger role for civil society, to proffer solutions to the challenges confronting what some scholars has classified as challenges of failing democratic state,1 among which is the challenge of kidnapping. There is a pervasive security challenge in most developing countries especially Nigeria, and that the police are obviously incapable of arresting the situation. This is evidence, among others, by the incessant inauguration, formulation and launching of new security outfit comprising of police and soldiers. This has become the face of most security outfit in Nigeria like other developing countries. This joint task force is branded differently by different state and even local government such as the Swift Action Squard (SAS) in Osun State, Rapid Response Squard in Lagos, to mention but few. 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z Brief 12 : amendment of the intelligence legislation to strengthen intelligence oversight in Uganda http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/53327 Title: Brief 12 : amendment of the intelligence legislation to strengthen intelligence oversight in Uganda Authors: Solomon, Asiimwe Abstract: Intelligence oversight in Uganda requires strengthening for effectiveness and for the country to achieve the democratic yardstick. The country has made some commendable democratic steps but the prevailing intelligence legal framework apparently does not provide for independent and specific intelligence oversight mechanisms. The only effective intelligence oversight is offered by the Agencies' internal administration and is strongly attributed to the personal leadership style of the incumbent President. Hence, its future sustainability is generally questionable. 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z Brief 11 : the youth bulge crisis and insecurity in Kenya; rethinking policy options http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/53326 Title: Brief 11 : the youth bulge crisis and insecurity in Kenya; rethinking policy options Authors: Manyange, Damaris N. Abstract: This policy brief assesses the nexus between the youth bulge and the increase in insecurity in Kenya, where about 40% of youth are not engaged in meaningful employment making them easy targets for the criminal enterprises (Youth Fact Sheet, 2010). The upsurge of criminal activities and the growth of criminal gangs, militias and incidents of terrorist acts are partly attributable to the existing youth bulge. In addition, the existing legal, institutional and policy frameworks to address the youth bulge have been ineffective, as youth involvement in criminal activities has spiralled. The causes of the failure of the frameworks include; corruption, lack of long term sustainable initiatives and favouritism based on ethnicity and political patronage. There is need to review and formulate long-term multifaceted policies that mainstream the youth in all spheres of life. This will make the criminal enterprises unattractive to the youth and in the long term reduce the escalation of insecurity which currently is of great concern to any Kenyan. 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z

I'M JUST THIS GUY, YOU KNOW! For me those grey drab years, between WW2 and the Flower-Power breakthrough of the Sixties, and also ever since, were illuminated by the ideas of writers of science fiction. During quarter-of-an-hour factory-canteen tea breaks I would maybe escape from the greyness whilst laughing at Isaac Asimov's medieval planet. On this backward planet the clumsy robots (whose sophisticated electronic brains were imported from the Galactic Foundation) had to remember to stoke coal into their own boiler fires for the steam needed to keep moving. Many years later the Arthur C. Clarke Sci-fi, story of "2001" was made into a marvelous film. Even now I can recall the mystified faces of the cinema audience, most of whom sadly lacked the shattered mind barriers that resulted from my early Sci-fi training. The story was about a highly intelligent race, somewhere in the universe. They had long ago shuffled through the dizzy dead-end limits of the technological era and had then concentrated their intelligence on the question of, why they exist? When they found out why, they were then able to ascend and escape the bondage of physical existence. Behind them throughout the universe this wise old race left triggers or markers as clues to be found by younger intelligent physical races to also help them to escape the same bondage. The cinema audience was riveted by the advanced technology, but obviously baffled by the deeper meaning of the story; individual, conscious and aware Intelligence freed from physical matter.
Around that same time I was a postman who was required to pedal an ancient red bicycle, with 60 lbs of mail, around twelve miles a day to deliver two large and separate delivery areas on foot. Yet another, older postman was required to push along the high street a red-painted wicker hamper set upon two wheels, out of which he delivered parcels to the shops. One day the inspector, absolutely thrilled to bits, rushed in and dragged me outside to see the latest GPO innovation.
No longer would the old postman push the old-fashioned two-wheeled red hamper along the high street. Henceforth he would push a modern two-wheeled red box made from the latest discovery, Fibreglass. Needless to add, it was twice as heavy to push, and sounded like a big drum when it was pushed. Daft, isn't it? Decades later, today the people who stand in remote and strictly private silence in a packed lift or a tube train will wander along the crowded high street whilst burbling loudly into a mobile phone. This twisted thinking goes further so that if they do use a public telephone booth they will resent you overhearing their conversation. What has this to do with Ascension you ask?
Well, it has more to do with the distorted thinking that surrounds the teaching of Ascension. For example, we all are by now fully aware that the masculine/feminine aspects on this planet are out of balance. We also realise that this imbalance is the creation of human thinking intelligence, and that it is only our intelligence that will bring it back into balance. But to bring it back into balance doesn't require women to feel that they must act and think like men. Neither does it mean that men must try to think and act like women. At best each will make a poor job of it, that much is obvious. All that is really required is that both, men and women, truly begin to fully think for themselves. Otherwise the genders will have simply exchanged roles, daft isn't it?
In daily life terms, what does this mean? It means that both, men and women, must first choose to individually banish from their personal repertoire of "get-outs" the handy and non-committal phrase, "Someone should do something about it!"
With practice and determination this could be replaced with, "I am going to do something about it!" But what else is both, positive and gender-free? Simply saying exactly what you mean and meaning exactly what you say. This is a difficult exercise for many people because tact may often become confused with hypocrisy, and dis-honesty is often disguised as realism. Thus the father who thrashes his child for stealing sweets may proudly own his self-built garden shed, made from materials stolen from his employer.
The child understandably is baffled as to whether the thrashing from the child's role model was for stealing, or for being caught stealing. "Oh! But that's different!" But is it? Meanwhile the father's employer may promote regular monthly staff meetings conducted by career-minded, bright young men. These are paid to encourage each of the assembled staff to believe that to their employer, each is a valued member of the team. Simultaneously the employer may be planning massive staff cuts, and the transfer of production to countries with lower labour costs. "But that's business, so it's different." But is it?
There is no need to cite further examples because clear enough is the picture of a society with values blurred and distorted by its own lies and deceit. If the result were equal dollops of beloved happiness and well-fed joy all around, this blurred effect might be justified. Even when we use society's own crazy rules to suggest that the result is justified if it means happiness for the winners, still this wouldn't ring true. No one can be truly happy and exist in the full knowledge that it is at the cost of someone else. This is nothing to do with right or wrong, or good or evil. It is all to do with the energy that has to be continuously drained and diverted by each individual to build personal mind-shields. The mind-shields are needed to continuously keep honesty with self at bay. Happiness fades if the shield is lowered, even for a moment. Let's understand why the human trio builds shields, then we will understand the energy-saving advantages of living without personal mind shields.
Each non-physical human 'me' has to co-exist with a physical body, and with a mind that, though also non-physical, uses the Electro-chemical makeup of the human brain to link 'me' with body. So it is the mind that links non-physical Spirit, or non-physical Soul, or as we prefer, non-physical 'me' to physical existence via the human body. Medical science has demonstrated the technological ability to keep a brain-dead human body alive and ticking over for weeks, months or years as required, long after non-physical 'me' has departed to the Astral. A healthy human being that has lost the ability to think or to reason with coherence and clarity may well continue for a lifetime to exist on the combined mind and body instinctual level. Equally a clear thinking human 'me' with a generous and loving nature, that controls a clear mind, may co-exist with a crippled or shattered and uncontrollable human body for a lifetime. Now let's look at another form of trio.
Nowadays we hear of advanced computerised technology built into the design of automobiles. The computer monitors the functioning and requirements of the vehicle, but also it monitors the requirements of the human driver. The computer will warn the driver when the engine needs oil or water. If the driver chooses to ignore the warning the computer will eventually cut the ignition to protect the engine. This is part of the computer's protective role regardless of the driver's choices. A higher protective function of the same computer, on behalf of its human driver, is to make contact, via a space satellite, with a source of traffic information as to the best route to reach the driver's chosen destination. But always it is the driver not the computer that chooses the destination.
But if the human driver wants to contact the source he or she must always make contact via the computer. Just as in meditation, 'me' must make contact via the mind, because mind is your link with daily life and is also your link with higher dimensions.
Also the computer will only connect with the source when directed to by the driver. Probably the computerised version exists that will safely stop the automobile if its driver became incapable of maintaining control. A similar version may remain linked to the source ready with information for the driver to use or to ignore. Do you see the point we are making? The computer is an emotionless linkage between an emotionless vehicle and its emotional driver. Neither the vehicle nor the computer cares whether the driver drives directly to the destination or stops to pick daisies on route. It is all one to them.
The vehicle's role is to reach the chosen current destination, and the computer's role is to monitor the process. The emotions of anger or of irritated frustration felt towards other drivers are the products of the human driver. The human trio is many-layered and is far more complex. The differences are that the mind does the monitoring but the mind can't think, it can only sense and feel, because it can only respond to the energy flow range at the emotional level. The human body left to itself responds to the energy flow range only at the instinctual level of bodily needs and appetites. As we will see, just like the kettle draws power from the power station, the self-created human trio draws this flow of energy from the Creator via the Creator's imagined idea.
The unmonitored human mind is fiercely protective and will go to extraordinary lengths to protect the trio. If mind senses that body feels pain, mind triggers the body's escape-or-fight mechanism without consulting "thinking me". In a similar manner, if mind senses that "thinking me" may be hurt, again mind will trigger the same limited mechanism, and again without consulting "thinking me". Mind is fully equipped to handle bodily needs and instinctual appetites but whilst undirected and unguided by 'me' it is not equipped to handle the more subtle higher requirements of "thinking me". In a similar way the computer isn't able to comprehend the driver's thoughts. The difference is that the computer won't try to comprehend where as the human mind will try to comprehend. Mind will try to do something about it, even though it may fail miserably simply because it cannot comprehend thought processes. Let's look at energy.

MS lines up two critical updates for Patch Tuesday
Microsoft is lining up four security updates - two of which earn the dread rating of critical - for the February edition on its regular monthly Patch Tuesday update cycle. February 10 promises the release of critical patches for Internet Explorer and Exchange Server. The other two bulletins are due to cover security fixes for …
Before the usual...
i.e is full of bugs, use FF
Please read.
They all have them, get over it and patch as needed.
Never understood why patching was seen as a sign of vulnerability
The whole argument for open source software rests on the assumption that flaws will exist, scrutiny will find them, and shared, mutual need will lead to a solution being found, propmtly. The greater the list of patches, a piece of software has, is usually a reflection of it's importance, to people, and how well its integrity is overseen and maintained, not a sign of any particular weakness.
Software, like buildings needs mainrtaining. For eaxmple, I dare say the heating bill for Scarborough Castle is rather lower than the one for Windsor Castle, but that doesn't mean I'd rather stay overnight in scarborough Castle.
There's no need for Microsoft dweebs to get all touchy about this and start pre-emptively pointing <insert random open source product, here>.: the only folks to pipe up and carp about this sort of thing as if it were a sign of weakness on Microsoft's part, are the ones who ride on the coattails of technology, while contributing little to the effort.
@ Daniel
Justifying lots of bugs instead of critically looking at the process that allowed them to exist in such great numbers isn't riding on the coattails of technology?
The whole argument for open source software is certainly not the assumption that flaws will exist, it's that being open, it can be modified for whatever the reason so you have what you need running on a system instead of what you end up with if it were a closed, or especially, monopolized industry that doesn't feel inclined to give you the drivers seat on your own rig.

BISMARCK, ND (KNSI) The National Weather Service is scrapping the use of ``extreme cold'' watches and warnings in the Upper Midwest in favor of the more familiar wind chill advisories and warnings.
The weather service experimented with the ``extreme cold'' advisories in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota to emphasize that dangerous cold does not necessarily depend on wind.
Wind chill is the measure of how cold it feels once the wind is factored in with the air temperature.
Meteorologist John Paul Martin says last year's mild winter didn't make for a good trial year.
He also says there was confusion in some markets such as Minneapolis, where the weather service also serves areas of Wisconsin, which was not part of the trial.

Out on the Lake Ontario shoreline, west of Fifty Point, the waves are crashing violently against the breakwalls, soaking two figures standing on a pier, as a helicopter flies overhead. With a little imagination it could be a James Bond movie. OK, no it couldn't.
Ron Ferguson, showing me around this relentlessly receding land mass, doesn't know if it's an MNR whirligig. But it might be.
"They buzz around to see if you're putting anything in the water (like breakwater structures) without their approval because, you know, it's their water," says Ron.
It's almost cinematic, this spectacular clash of water and land that persists day and night. But then there's the human element that helps churn up the dynamics even further.
First things first. Ron and his wife Ruth keep a handsome little cottage on Campview, near Lewis, that her family has owned since the 1920s.
Ruth's family ran Hodgson's Florists — they had greenhouses near Birch and Barton — and belonged to the old Livingston United Church, which ran a camp where the cottage is now. There are pictures of Ruth as a girl, on the beach.
Beach? What beach?
"It was all sandy, here to Fifty Point. Now there's three feet deep of water over everything," says Ron.
Past Ron and Ruth's cottage, there's some lawn, then a steep drop, shielded by a wall of massive boulders, piled up against the encroachment of the lake.
Beyond the wall? Water, a constant rush. Rolling up the boulders. No beach.
The Fergusons had the wall put in years ago, at no small expense.
The dock that Ruth used to run along is totally submerged.
The big vanishing act. Shoreline erosion. Once the water swallows the land, it's the government's, or so they claim, says Ron.
His neighbour has an impressive breakwater fortification, with a flat concrete deck on top; but now the deck slopes.
"They're 12-foot sections, pile-driven in steel casements," says Ron, conveying the solidity of the thing, "but the bottom's giving out."
No matter how strong or deeply set the breakwall, the currents reach low and scoop out ("underscore") the soil at the base, weakening the structure, causing tilts and separations.
At the Nielsens' place, a few properties over, a sturdy tapered pier cuts dashingly into the lake. The water leaps up acrobatically, arching in the sunlight, and showers over the pier as though over the prow of a ship.
A bulky concrete structure slumps forlornly in the water, torn from the body of the pier and tipped over, rebar sticking out. It's the stairs from the pier to what once was the beach.
All along the coast, protective stones and boulders separate, slope, give way.
"Because of wind and wave action, this area has the worst erosion on the lake," says Ron, who called after I did a column on Cherry Beach, further west. Even it wasn't as bad as this.
The woodlot near Lewis Road is a case in point. Trees, many of them hickories, routinely fall over the edge into the surf. Several are teetering, half their roots exposed and dangling over the cliff. There are two trees drowning in the shallows as we pass, like broccoli in a soup. This woodland used to stretch out another 30 metres or more. It's literally washing away.
Fifty Point marina construction in the 1980s altered flow patterns of the lake's undercurrents, says Ron. Lake levels were raised to accommodate big freighters.
Also, six creeks near Lewis Road were braided into one channel near the shoreline so that after storms, it becomes a raging river gushing into the lake, disturbing the sediment. The human element.
Government response? Disappointing, Ron says. The municipality and the province seem to have neither the will nor the resources to reinforce the shoreline.
"They won't spend a nickel" on their share of the shoreline, he says.
Meanwhile the lake, sending wave upon wave, sounds like it's laughing at us.

Mandy Baggot: hot heroes – emotional reads
I'm a self-confessed Twitter addict who likes to sing on You Tube. You will find me on my own blog and popping up on reader, reviewer and fellow authors' blogs all around the world! I'm also a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association.
Latest news:
21 October 2014
It's been a couple of months since I blogged on here and I've missed it. Having survived the long school summer holidays and visited my second home, Corfu, I then caught a vicious flu that has had me down for over a week. I'm not a good patient and I hate being ill. But I can feel the end is in sight!
I'm currently working on two novels. Both of them are different from each other and a little different to my normal style – one is even written in the first person which I've previously only ever attempted in a short story. All these characters are keeping me on my toes and helping me rediscover my love of writing which can get lost amongst the promotion, article writing, motherhood etc.
You may have noticed my Twitter avatar has changed.
I can't say any more about this at the moment but something exciting is coming on 1 November! Look out for more updates coming soon!
AND, if that wasn't excitement enough, for a limited time only, my romance, Made in Nashville is just 69p! Grab hold of Jared while he's cheaper than Poundland here.

Strong contemporary romance and characters you'll fall in love with!

PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- NextFort Ventures Chandler, LLC, owner and operator of a first-of-its-kind modular data center, today announced the selection of Johnson Controls as the supplier of an innovative free air cooling system being deployed in NextFort's new 180,000 square foot data center in Chandler, AZ.
Targeting a Q1 2013 opening, NextFort's unique modular approach provides each customer with its own turnkey, financial grade data center solution as a completely self-contained environment. Customers benefit from flexibility and scalability in how they deploy modular units of data center capacity underpinning their businesses and customer-facing services.
NextFort's Phase 1 launch in March will feature availability of 130,000 sq. ft. of NextFort High-Density Computing Suites (NextFort HCSs). These are completely self-contained, all concrete and steel rooms designed to house up to 20 high-density IT racks for a total IT load up to 225KW (up to 600 watts/sq ft.) Future expansion calls for 50,000 square feet of additional HCSs that can be rapidly deployed.
NextFort worked closely with Johnson Controls to design the highly-efficient, fully redundant direct expansion air conditioning cooling system that does not require water. Each NextFort HCS has its own cooling system contributing to nearly 40% better energy efficiency compared to conventional data centers, thus reducing energy costs for NextFort's customers.
Featuring Johnson's highly-durable York Equipment compressor, the solution delivers maximum energy efficiently and individual control associated with innovative free air cooling capabilities that can scale from 0 - 100% depending on the individual needs of a customer's environment.
Key Customer Benefits
- Customers can start by deploying two cooling units for a 2N redundant configuration, and easily add more (in a matter of days) as they increase power density inside in the HCS.
- Customers are able to choose the temperature they want to run their HCS(s) depending on the requirements of their computing environment.
- Each cooling system features variable-speed fans and compressor capacity technology to drive cooling efficiency. Depending on outside temperature, each NextFort customer can use varying amounts of outside air (up to 100%) to supplement cooling capacity and save energy.
- Each NextFort customer has a dedicated cooling system where power is metered locally -- customers only pay for power related to their individual cooling system.
- Innovative system controls allow customers to view and operate their cooling system remotely via a secure customer portal.
- Customers can take advantage of NextFort's remote-hands services thus eliminating the need for IT resources on site.
About NextFort
NextFort is the owner and operator of a first-of-its-kind modular data center located in Chandler, Arizona. Focused on the design, construction and operation of energy efficient, highly modular, and ultra secure data centers, NextFort has created an innovative design which facilitates the deployment by our customers of modern, high-density computing infrastructure services such as cloud computing.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Discussions Questions and Answers
Festival of Unleavened Bread
By Frank L. Hoffman - 19 Mar 2012
Dear Shmuel:
This is another very interesting interpretation of how God was not involved in any of the killing across the Jordan in Canaan, and something we have always suspected.
What about the killing on the east side of the Jordan before they crossed over? Was that part of their self-will taking over, which became a preamble for what they did when they crossed over?
A little note on your science of yeast. Nutritional yeast or cooked baking yeast is no longer active when it is eaten, and cannot cause the problems you mentioned.
We also found your discussion from yesterday, particularly about continual praise and prayer around the world to be very interesting, and it answers something we have always believed; that the dates and days are far less important than our heart attitude of continual praise, prayer, and thanksgiving, which should be a part of our everyday life.
In the Love of the Lord,

The report states that reduced sleep significantly increased the likelihood of
excessive weight gain; with children who slept longer aged three to five reported to be 61% less likely to be overweight aged seven.
The full FLAME report can be read on the BMJ website.
