Robert Fisk from the Independent:
To the horror of Egyptians and the world, President Hosni Mubarak – haggard and apparently disoriented – appeared on state television last night to refuse every demand of his opponents by staying in power for at least another five months. The Egyptian army, which had already initiated a virtual coup d'état, was nonplussed by the President's speech which had been widely advertised – by both his friends and his enemies – as a farewell address after 30 years of dictatorship. The vast crowds in Tahrir Square were almost insane with anger and resentment.
Mubarak tried – unbelievably – to placate his infuriated people with a promise to investigate the killings of his opponents in what he called "the unfortunate, tragic events", apparently unaware of the mass fury directed at his dictatorship for his three decades of corruption, brutality and repression.
The old man had originally appeared ready to give up, faced at last with the rage of millions of Egyptians and the power of history, sealed off from his ministers like a bacillus, only grudgingly permitted by his own army from saying goodbye to the people who hated him.
Read the rest of the article.
Al Jazeera's coverage of Mubarak's speech is pretty gripping, with a split screen showing the crowds in Tahrir Square and their reaction to his incredible announcement that he wouldn't step down until September.

Flow Control and Spawned Work
There's a comment on an earlier blog posting of mine from 2009 titled Controlling the Flow of Work in Teradata. The comment poses a question that is more reasonably answered by making second posting on flow control.
The question was what happens when spawned work messages cannot be placed on the message queue on one AMP, but can on the others, will all AMPs reject the spawned work message? Further, what happens if the spawned request originates from a situation where one of the WorkNew AWTS is itself in flow control? Below is an explanation of how this all works. Check out the earlier Flow Control posting for background.
Flow Control for WorkNew (Work00) messages
When an AMP temporarily closes the door to new work, that AMP is in a state that we call "flow control." When in a state of flow control, which often lasts a fraction of second, that AMP will turn away newly-arriving messages. One type of arriving work can be work messages that the dispatcher has sent to the AMP for processing. If there are a number of such messages waiting on the message queue for an AWT, and that number that is waiting has exceeded the message queue length for the WorkNew work type, then that AMP will not be able to accept that message.
While each AMP makes this decision independently of other AMPs, the incoming message cannot be accepted by any AMP unless all AMPs can either give provide an AWT or queue up the message. If only one AMP is in the state of flow control for that work type, the message is returned to the sender and will be retried. In fact the full message is not stored in AMP memory until all AMPs can accept the message.
Each work message represents one step in a request, not the entire query. When the message that is being retried is from the dispatcher, then no work on behalf of that request step will be able to start while the request step is undergoing retry logic. However, it is possible the request itself is already partially completed at that point, as previous steps may not have encountered the flow control state and could have completed normally. So flow control can occur in the middle of a query, and if the flow control condition persists, it could unexpectedly delay that query's execution, even though earlier steps have completed.
Flow Control for WorkOne (Work01) messages
WorkOne messages are messages that represent spawned work. Spawned work happens when a WorkNew message is starting up on all AMPs and the step requires an activity such as row redistribution or table duplication, something that requires more than one AWT per AMP.
Before a message can be sent to all AMPs requesting WorkOne AWTs, all of the AMPs must have successfully acquired a WorkNew AWT for that step. If any of the AMPs queued up the WorkNew message or were in flow control, then the message that wants to spawn WorkOne AWTs on behalf of that step will not be sent.
When all the AMPs have their WorkNew AWTs, the last AMP to get its WorkNew AWT will spawn the message for WorkOne AWTs to all AMPs. If one of the AMPs had been in flow control and unable to process its WorkNew message, then the spawned work message will not be sent. It is only sent when all AMPs have been able to provide a WorkNew AWT.
Flow Control Managed by Work Type
Flow control is managed by work type independently. It is not likely you will go into a state of flow on more than one work type at a time. This is because if you are already in flow control for WorkNew work types on an AMP, that will make it less likely that there will be a demand for WorkOne work types, as there is a dependency between them. Being in flow control for WorkNew lightens the load on WorkOne AWTs.
Hi Carrie,
Thank you very much for nice explanation. Now it is very much clear to me.
Thanks a lot
Pinal Patel
I'm trying to find out which queries could've caused my system to go into Flow Control. Apart from high CPU/IO consuming queries, which other types of queries should I look for?
Thank you Carrie for your valuable input.
I have another question for you in relation to what you said about the skewed queries.
Yesterday early morning we noticed a lot of Skewing on AMP 131 on our system. Turns out we had a bad disk drive that was throwing a lot of errors and this had been going on since Friday at 3PM California time.
So my questions
We had CS guys replace the disk and the issue is resolved now but could we create an alert for this in the future? If yes,how?
Can we also produce a report that shows the impact this bad disk had on our system? I mean, I can get all types of charts from PDCR toolkit but how will I show the impact on the system due to this issue?
Hi Carrie, two very simple question:
1 - how can I know what is the maximum number of AWT(s) per AMP(s) ? (I run Teradata 13.10)
2 - In the resAWT macro, the max columns include all the AWT(s) in use ? (that's say if I have 80 AWT(s) per AMP and I read max awt per AMP = 55, this number include also all the reserved AWT(s) ? So I have 80 (total awt) - 55 (max awt) = 25 awt(s) available until getting in flow control AMP state ? ).
Thank you very much for your reply.
Pietro Nardella
Teradata Italia
Hi Carrie,
I wonder whether there is a way to find out that a query is delayed by the flow control of AWT.
There are some information telling us that in DBQL?
Hi Carrie,
thanks for your reply. I'd like to redo my question:
" 1 - how can I know what is the maximum number of AWT(s) per AMP(s) ? (I run Teradata 13.10) "
and ask if there is a system table where I can read the max AWT number per AMPs defined for example for my customer teradata system.
Thank you & regards,
Pietro Nardella

Hello Carrie,
Few Questions.
(a) The 1st line says "When an AMP temporarily closes the door to new work, that AMP is in a state that we call "flow control."" So, Does it means Flow Control is restricted to only New Work ?
Say, for 80 AWTs/AMP, all the 56 AWTs are curretly in use in addition to 03 Reserved by Work00 & Work01. Now, no Work00 & Work01 Work will be Accepted. But, Work02 to Work07 can be accepted by virtue of 03 AWTs Reservations. But, that AMP will be in Flow Control as no Work00 AWTs are available. [Assuming Message Queue is Full].
(b) When you say Message Queue, does the AMP maintain Message Queue for each Worktype [08 Message Queue for 08 Work types] or a Single Message Queue with Worktype indicator/marker ?
Can I say the following:
Flow Control/Closing the Door for New Work = No More Space @ Message Queue Or, Work-New Waiting Quota Exceeded [Rather than No Work-New AWTs Available]
Hi Carrie,
Thanks a lot for such valuable input.
one question: Do we have any specific 'work type' AWT (out of 0-15 work type) that is used for dedicately maintaining the message queue itself? Or is it maintained by system internal processes?

Friday night, friends gathered to remember a man who police say died after leaving Ralph Wilson Stadium Thursday.
Investigators say 26-year-old David Gerken Jr. attended the game with his younger brother, but was ejected from the stadium during half time.
Police say he was found face down in a nearby creek Friday morning.
Gerken's friends celebrated his life at a concert at the Dubland Underground in Rochester. A band dedicated their performance to Gerken at the club. His girlfriend, Brittany Zonneville was at the performance. She told News10NBC Gerken had a huge impact on her life.
"He was possibly the greatest man I ever met," says Zonneville."He took my life from a low point to a very high point."
Ribbons were sold at the show in Gerken's honor. Friends tell News10NBC all money raised at the show will go to assist the Gerken family.

VIDEO | Fighter Breaks Arm Defending Takedown In MMA Bout (*Warning* Not For The Weak)
First I must warn you. This video is not for the weak. It contains a graphic injury of a fighter competing in a Mixed Martial Arts bout.
If you can take the pain, then hit play and watch the video we lifted from middleeasy.com.

When I was 7 years old I took part in a Judo competition for the very first time, I watched a guy whom I was supposed to fight the next fight, he was 12 years old. Well, his opponent broke his hand in a very similar way. I was so scared, I wanted to run and hide, but my brother, who took part in the same competition said he would kill me if I do so:) I lost the fight, but managed to survive:) The guy was fine in a little while, he's won national championships in some few occasions after the injury.
Please include this information with this video.

SNELLVILLE -- Matt met Molly again Tuesday and all was well, if only for a half hour.
After a hiatus of more than two weeks, Snellville's Parkwood Farms resumed classes Tuesday. The therapeutic horse farm for disabled kids is still fighting its eviction and has no guarantee for the future -- but it couldn't keep the kids away any longer.
Thus Matt, an 18-year-old Brookwood High School student with Down syndrome, was back on Molly, his favorite horse, for his weekly 30-minute ride through the soothing trails around the Parkwood property.
Tuesday, once again, was "Molly Day."
"It means everything to him," Mary Clark, Matt's mother, said. "On Molly he's in control."
Parkwood Farms, founded by Dr. Marilyn Peterson 2002, has been battling foreclosure and eviction for nearly two years now. Peterson has said the foreclosure was a "wrongful" one, and she continues to fight HSBC Bank and Everhome Mortgage over eviction.
She revealed this week that the bank has offered to sell her back the property -- where she, her sons and a grandchild also live -- at a fair market value to be determined. A hearing regarding a temporary protective order to stop her eviction has been scheduled for Dec. 6 in Gwinnett County Superior Court.
That said, everything remains up in the air.
Even so, Peterson decided to resume classes Tuesday, nearly three weeks after they were suspended when Gwinnett sheriff's deputies served an original eviction notice.
"We're not going to be held hostage anymore by these proceedings," said Peterson, whose 16-year-old son Julian was among those back in the saddle.
On Monday, Peterson, Occupy Atlanta's Tim Franzen and four parents from the Snellville farm tried to make a statement to that effect by visiting attorneys at the Atlanta office of Shapiro & Swertfeger -- which is helping HSBC and Everhome with the foreclosure and eviction -- to "put a face on the paperwork."
Staff at Shapiro & Swertferger, which is helping HSBC Bank and Everhome Mortgage with the foreclosure and eviction process at Parkwood Farms, denied the group a meeting with a local attorney but a representative from another office of the national firm spoke with them via telephone.
That attorney said the firm was not allowed to speak with Peterson because she had legal counsel.
The group left photos -- printouts of Special Olympics teams and other students -- on a table in a conference room after the telephone call, which included Peterson's attorney Kurt Raulin.
"We know that the law firm will be contacting HSBC and Everhome and letting them know that they got a visit paid to them," Franzen said at the time. "And that's what we wanted to accomplish today.
Peterson said she does not trust the bank's offer to sell her the property at market value, nor its reported claim that it will forego any eviction activities until after the Christmas holidays.
For now she'll have to take their word.
"Everyone's just happy to get back," she said.
The least of which was not Matt, who clapped with glee as he rode around the therapy center's "arena" on Tuesday.
His mother, watching with a smile, said that Matt is no longer terrified of "anything that's not stable" since starting at Parkwood -- he's since learned to swim, ride a swing and has even bungee jumped. His therapy has, "believe or not," Clark said, even helped his cognitive skills and concentration.
Thanks to Parkwood, she said, "there's no limit now."

At 1999 campaign, she said in an interview to BBC: "I am very clear in my mind. Politics is not a strong pull, the people are. And I can do things for them without being in politics". Nonetheless, the question of her joining formal politics would be bothersome: "I have said it a thousand times; I am not interested in joining politics…" the latter part might contradict the latest development around her. She was interested in contesting against BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in Varanasi, but the party leadership has some other plans for her. We still remember her fiery barb on Modi against 'Gudiya' row in the summer elections of 2009.
The decisive mandate of 2014 boldly reflects the decline of the Congress share in the Lok Sabha tally. No doubt, the present wider Nehru-Gandhi family does not want the halo of being tainted enough, to be sidelined easily. The Congress might have calculated the access of vulnerable attacks by the opposition on the DLF-Vadra scam. She is not tainted, but of course painted. Congress leadership might be looking for the timing to launch her.
There is no doubt; she is clearly still interested in Varanasi, even if she's not in the fight for herself. At a meeting at the Tughlaq Lane residence of Rahul last Monday, Priyanka gave Ajay Rai a pep talk soon after the party decided to field him. "Priyankaji ne kaha ki aap jam kar ladiye. Unhone apna personal mobile number bhi diya aur kaha ki aapko jo bhi zaroorat hogi woh aap turant bolen. Woh aapko muhaiyya karayi jaayegi. (Priyankaji told me to fight wholeheartedly. She gave me her personal mobile number and told me not to hesitate to ask for anything that I may need and said I will be given every help)," Rai quoted her as telling him. It was evident that this was done to ensure that the leadership of Rahul Gandhi was not challenged either outside the 'family' or from within.
In 2004, there was a speculation that Priyanka Gandhi might contest the polls from Amethi, but there was a dramatic regime change. Rahul Gandhi handled the torch for the seat which was held by his father and mother. In the past there were several occasions where it appeared as a change of guard imminent in Gandhi family. Yet Mrs. Vadra adapts herself in serving the assistance to her mother and brother yet, side-by-side.
In 2008 after the 26/11 attack she told one journalist that her grandmother would have acted in a way that would have made all of us proud. In such an hour of crisis, such kind of a statement does not come prime minister of from any official. At that stage, the substantial Priyanka Gandhi was at its best, and increased people's much awaited eagerness to enter into public life.
No doubt Priyanka symbolised and appeared to be more connected to the people; party workers in Amethi and Rae Bareily have a special seat for her in their hearts, not just for being a Gandhian scion, but because of her connectedness. Why has the 'family' not made optimum use of her charisma?
Rae Bareily and Amethi have turned out to be a stamp seat for the descendents in the Congress party. But in the coming decade India might witness the change of guard amongst the family from the Rae Bareily and Amethi. After Sonia, she will be the Congress' hand at the center level.

On my NW35 skin this is not a blusher at all, but does work to help get that Jo Lo glow, the Miami bronzed glowing skin look on tan skin that is so pretty. It is a fairly sheer golden frosty powder and blends out easily, leaving a glowing gold look to the skin. I am not sure how it would look on a lighter skin tone, I think on medium to darker tones this would give a beautiful glow to the skin without a ton of actual color, just a light gold that will blend in well with the skin giving is radiance. It did emphasize pores a bit, it is shimmery and that is expected, but it worked well across my forehead, bridge of nose and cheekbones in place of bronzer. I will probably never use this enough to purchase again, but I am not sorry it is in my collection. I recommend for medium to dark skin tones, and will revise this if I ever get to use it on someone fair skinned and like it!
MAC Trace Gold Blush ($21.00 for 0.21 oz.) is described as a "gold with shimmer [with a Sheertone Shimmer finish]." It's a warm-toned, gold and copper-shimmered, medium orange-brown. It has a rather frosted finish. Wet 'n' Wild Bikini Contest is darker, browner, less shimmery. Physicians Formula Light Bronzer is more orange, lighter. Urban Decay Baked is slightly darker. NARS Luster is more orange, warmer. MAC Center of the Universe is darker. See comparison swatches.

Maybe the only thing sharper than the Lobos' focus Tuesday night in The Pit was New Mexico's shooting. It was laser sharp as UNM, now 13-2, burned the nets at a 63.8 percent rate to burn Houston Baptist 98-61.
The game obviously wasn't a contest on the court, but the Lobos really had to go to another level mentally in not allowing a blowout game to turn into a run-and-gun, street-ball affair featuring all offense and no defense.
Oh, there was offense; lots of offense. But there also was defense, too. Well, at least by the Lobos.
The Lobos managed to run to 97 points while holding Houston Baptist to 61 points. The victory for the Lobos was as much in their ability to focus as it was on the lopsided scoreboard that lite up The Pit for the 12,789 in attendance.
"I thought this was a game where if they were going to come out flat, there were a lot of excuses to do so," said Lobo Coach Steve Alford. "But we did a lot of things well. We didn't take bad shots and we're up 30 most of the second half.
McDonald Passes Legend
Lobo Phillip McDonald passed a New Mexico legend Tuesday night passing Ira Harge (1962-64) for the 26th spot on the UNM career scoring charts. McDonald has 1,022 points.
The Lobos got at least one point from every player with Tony Snell leading the way with 18 points. Demetrius Walker came off the bench to score 14 points and dish out eight assists. UNM ended with 24 assists to 14 for the Huskies.
Drew Gordon got another double-double scoring 13 points and hauling down 10 boards. Phillip McDonald had 11 points and Hugh Greenwood had ten points, all coming in the first half.
About the only thing that went wrong in this game for UNM was Greenwood coming down on a defensive play and jamming his right foot into the padded base of the backboard. He left the game and finished the contest sitting on the bench wearing an ice pack.
"We'll get X-rays," said Alford.
The Lobos shot 73.3 percent from the floor in the first half and ended the game with a 63.8 percent effort going 37-of-58 from the floor.
"It's about getting good shots," said Alford. "We're sharing the basketball and getting better shots. But we still have a long ways to go. The team believes there is a lot of room for improvement and that's with winning 11 games in a row."
Houston Baptist shot 34.3 percent from the floor. UNM outscored the Huskies 44-28 in the paint and 42-29 off the bench.
"Our bench is developing," said Alford. "We are getting a lot of bench production. Demetrius (Walker) gets eight assists off the bench. That's almost unheard of. The guys are playing their roles right.
"We wanted to go inside. This is a team that has been struggling defensively and we wanted to go at them. We wanted to go at the basket hard."
About the only questions in the second half were whether the Lobos would reach 100 and if UNM could maintain enough defensive focus to hold Houston Baptist under 60. It was close at both ends. The Huskies scratched their way to 61 points and Coach Alford didn't allow his Lobos to attack the basket in the closing seconds, up by 37 points.
The Lobos actually held Houston Baptist to a lower shooting percentage in the second half, but the Huskies scored three more points in the second 20 minutes.
The second half was merely a formality for the scoreboard and the stat sheets. UNM was up 64-37 at the 14:36 mark and continued to pull away from the shorter Huskies. A Snell trey followed by a Walker trey made it 70-42. McDonald banged in back-to-back treys in front of the UNM bench to push the Lobos up 78-48.
The Lobos go for an even dozen in consecutive wins when North Dakota steps into The Pit for a 1:30 p.m. tip on Saturday. "They have played a good schedule and they do a lot of good things. We have to be ready," said Alford.
First Half: New Mexico Lobos 53, Houston Baptist 29
For a few moments it was game. Then the Lobos broke out of a 4-4 tie and steamrolled the Huskies making just about every shot that came off a Lobo hand. Inside, outside -- didn't make much difference. UNM was shooting 70 percent (14-of-20) when it formed a fat 32-16 lead with the first half about half over at the 9:56 mark.
The Lobos didn't even have a turnover until the 6:14 mark of the first half. Houston Baptist must have placed its defense in a suitcase and that piece of luggage didn't make it to Albuquerque. The Lobo offense had a play toy with the Huskies' defense. Houston Baptist showed a little more interest in playing ball at the offensive end, but let the Lobos weave through them on defense.
A Williams three at the 2:22 mark off a Jamal Fenton drive and feed put UNM up 47-29. The score jumped to 49-29 a few seconds later when Cameron Bairstow tipped a shot on the defense end and then hustled down to score a layup at the other end.
Bairstow finished the first-half scoring for UNM getting bumped on an attempted dunk. He made two free throws with 1.3 seconds to play to form the 53-29 halftime count.

Lovelock on Global Warming
James Lovelock is a 'big idea' type, most successful with his Gaia extrapolation (1976), although it certainly is not universally accepted by all top scientists. He is not a hard scientist. His specialty is medicine, and chemistry, where he has contributed significantly. He understands very little about geophysicalfluiddynamics. I read his book in the '70s […] [Read More]
Perhaps Global Warming was Sent by God
After 3-years of reading GW denial material, I'm entertaining the idea that it might be God's Plan for the planet. (I'm thinking of an Einstein definition of God, a force behind everything, that is beyond our ken.) First, we note that God sent his troops forth in the GW denial movement; it is religious in […] [Read More]
Are the Global Warming Supporters and Deniers Coming Together?
Some observations from just this week. One, the honchos behind GW denying are moderating their tone: From Shell.com; "We were one of the first energy companies to acknowledge the threat of climate change. We are calling for action by governments, our industry and energy users. And we play a leading role in demonstrating ways to […] [Read More]

In Saturday's 3-0 victory over Maine, UVM head coach Kevin Sneddon singled out a first-period penalty kill as pivotal to turning the game's momentum.
The Black Bears had the first 10 shots on goal, thoroughly dominating the opening eight minutes. At 8:07, Vermont defenseman Caylen Walls incurred a boarding minor. By the time Walls stepped back on the ice, momentum had fled to the Catamounts.
"That first kill that first period right around the eight-minute mark seemed to kill things for us in a very positive fashion," Sneddon said. "Our kills been very solid of late and it will need to be again going against the talent Northeastern has."
For UVM, the penalty kill, as well as the power play, has been a persistent problem in recent seasons. This year, the Catamounts have seen stretches of good penalty killing mixed with games where opponents' power plays have been much too productive.
A recent spate of ineffective penalty kills began when Princeton was 2-for-2 on power plays even though UVM won the game and the Catamount Cup championship. That was followed by a 1-for-2 effort by Merrimack and back-to-back Lowell performances of 2 for 8 and 4 for 10, leading directly to two wins for the Riverhawks.
Since then, the UVM penalty kill is 18 for 20 — both goals allowed in a 3-2 loss to Massachusetts — and has a current run of 14 straight kills. The recent success can be attributed to several factors including a more aggressive style, better cohesion and more players being involved.
Sneddon said assistant coach Kevin Patrick is the person primarily responsible for the tweaks.
"What he's been able to do is get guys to understand how important it is for four guys to be on the same page. It doesn't do any good for one guy to apply pressure and have three guys be passive. They have to be thinking the same way. We've just started to jell in a better way," Sneddon said.
"We saw good signs early but we came out of it a little bit. Some of that is a lack of confidence to be aggressive. I think now they just have more confidence."
Captain H.T. Lenz also credited Patrick for improving the kill and added, "Guys are getting really comfortable. "Pairings for the forwards have kind of settled down so you know who you're going to be out there with every time. We've found 3-4 pretty good sets of guys who can get the job done. Guys have been pretty selfless in taking short shifts when they're out there."
Said Sneddon, "We've been able to use more guys. When (Connor) Brickley was in, he was able to give us some minutes on the penalty kill, which he didn't really kill last year. (Chris) McCarthy's never been a killer but we had him out there 5-on-3 and did a stupendous job for us.
"We have at least one or two guys on each line that can do that for us so we're fresh and we're able to be more aggressive. When we get into a situation where we're taking 2-3 penalties in a row, it's not like your whole team's tired or you're tiring your key guys and your other guys are sitting around on the bench getting cold. We're able to keep most of the guys and most of the lines involved in the penalty kill."
UVM still has a season's kill percentage of 81.3 overall and 80.0 in Hockey East; neither is a sterling success rate, but an improved penalty kill could make the difference in terms of reaching the league tournament.
Though Northeastern has struggled on the power play — 12.5 percent in league play — the Huskies have a couple of prolific scorers. After that, Vermont faces the No. 4 (BU), 3 (UNH) and 1 (BC) power play units to close out the regular season.
Of course, the best kill of all is to avoid unnecessary penalties. But it would be nice for the Catamounts to know they have a better chance now of surviving opponents' power play.

Reason is a stage of mind, according to Hegel. It is a developmental phase in which self-consciousness is aware of itself in relation to objects and in relation to universals. It can comprehend universals as belonging to forms such as self-consciousness as well as to those universals found as externally existing forms of objects. Hegel does not directly refer to entities in their function as "objects of perception" (not to be confused with the "thinghood" of inanimate objects. Every entity exists for another as an object of perception. Hegel focuses on this stage of the evolution of consciousness during this chapter. As with the earlier parts he carries on making thorough work of a subject matter which is inclusively pervasive and as such gigantic.
For those unused to it, "concrete" in Hegel's terminology simply means experiential and actual. In other...

So so grouchy.
Last night I went to sleep at 12:30 and this morning I woke up inexplicably at 5:10 and did not return to dreamland. So, I am grouchy. And Brent is on nights, so I'm on duty for all three meals and all the hours of kid duty from waking up to going to bed, save an hour or two at suppertime when Brent will stagger out of bed, hair messy, and I will fall into bed but worry about dinner.
I really should go to the store for some fruit. But I am tired.
Oh boy, do I feel like a washed up cliche. The tired mom. Yikes!

New fence to aid security at Saltings Allotments given go-ahead
Posted: March 14, 2013|
CONTROVERSIAL security fencing is now being installed at a Grimsby allotment site.
An application to erect a 2 metre high fence along the boundary of the Saltings Allotments was approved by North East Lincolnshire Council's planning committee yesterday.
Planning bosses said that although the fencing did not require planning permission because of its modest height, it was included in a wider application for "reasons of clarity".
There had been some confusion last month when residents thought work had started without permission, but this was later proved not to be the case.
Related content
The application also includes two extensions to the side and rear of the existing allotment building, new roofing for the building, the creation of two car parking areas and the resurfacing of the tarmac access roads.
However, it is the proposal to install new fencing which has proved the most controversial. While most plot holders say they have been calling for improved security for some time, many residents have opposed the plan saying the fence is unnecessary.
The 2 metre fence is being erected along the boundary with Salsbury Avenue at the north west side of the site, replacing an existing fence which has fallen into disrepair.
A 1.8 metre fence will be installed along the northern boundary with Littlefield Lane, to replace a length of existing palisade fencing.
Plot holders have welcomed the news, saying a new fence is vital to improve security at the site.
Peter Rhoades, 65, said: "There have been a lot of problems and most of the time the thieves have carried the stolen property through Salsbury Avenue, and people in Salsbury Avenue have had their homes broken into.
"We need security and this is just an upgrade of the existing fence. The fence is not that high and most residents won't be able to see the fence. It won't be an eyesore."
Mr Rhoades said the other improvements would be a real boon for plot holders.
"The hut is going to be fantastic. There will be disabled access toilets and a store. The car park will have a soakaway on to prevent flooding. The whole site is being upgraded. You can't stay in the 1900s. You've got to progress."

Happy Friday!
I am pleased to announce something that I have been working on for a few weeks now. Just recently I was selected by Quaker and Goodbite.com to work on their latest promotion. All the details will follow but I just wanted to give you a heads up that Zesty has shot his first series of VIDEOS and is quite excited about it.
Good Bite is kicking off a challenge sponsored by Quaker Instant Oatmeal that begins today! The challenge is called the "Awaken Your Senses" Challenge. Here's how it works…
Twelve of the most influential bloggers have come together to share their favorite food memories. Our memories will be brought to life by David Lawrence (of Good Bite) who will translate them into a Oatmeal Creation using Quaker Instant Oatmeal and a variety of toppings.
Every 2 weeks, a new round of videos will be posted where you can vote for your favorite. With each round, semi-finalists will be selected.
At the end of eight weeks the blogger's video with the most votes wins! And $10,000.00 will be donated to their favorite charity!
zesty of zestycook.com is representing The Hunger Project in the challenge and all you need to do is go to www.youtube.com/quakertalk every week and vote for your topping creation, you can help a really deserving food charity win $10,000.00!
Since I am in the third round of videos being uploaded, I wanted to give you a heads up that soon I will need you to vote for me on www.youtube.com/quakertalk and vote for my topping so that I will make it to the semi-finalists and hopefully win, granting The Hunger Project $10,000. I just need you to tell all your friends and all your family members and tell all your readers( if you have a blog) to vote for zesty. I will be sure to bug I mean remind you again as the time draws closer.
Thanks so much! I am so excited.
Have a great Friday and a super weekend. I will see you on Monday with a house update and some fun guest posts as I am travelling to California for work.
Take care

David Sable is now more than two years into his post as global CEO of WPP WPP Group's Y&R, one of the original ad agencies on Madison Ave. On the eve of its move to a new address–3 Columbus Circle–Sable talked about the changes afoot in the business as well as the fundamentals that persist.
Agencies need to get back to solving clients' problems and not just be purveyors of advertising, he said in our recent interview. "It's never been more important for us to be able to create real content," he said.
He also explained how local business has to be very powerful in order to be successful globally. "Because of data–data's very local. And all relationships are local," he said. And he balks at the "nonsense that gets shared in the name of digital"–digibabble, as he calls it.
The last time I interviewed him, he discussed the importance of new business wins as the "lifeblood" of any agency. Y&R, in fact, claimed a new business win just last month, as JC Penney JC Penney hired it to be the retailer's new lead creative agency. "This is an exciting win for Y&R," Sable told me in an email. "JC Penney is a great, iconic brand. It's an honor for our team to work on the brand and also to work with Sergio Zyman and his management team. Consumers love JC Penney, the market is behind them, and we are committed to help them succeed."

This is the
Well, I am not talking about any of our public officials, either. Even if the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation depots dry up, there will still be enough fuel for this category of people. You see, they need all the things that make life comfortable so that they can drown us. And usually, that is why they have no idea the travails the ordinary man on the street, the very people they are supposed to be serving, go through.
They have boreholes that supply their mansions water and generating sets that are fuelled with tax-payers' money. The only thing is that, when they are not flying, they are subjected to the inconvenience of passing through neighbourhoods that have no electricity and roads that have suffered the wear and tear of many years of misuse and lack of maintenance.
What was I talking about again sef? Oh, fuel scarcity! I thought I was privileged, by virtue of my position in the office, and so I would not be too affected by the current unending fuel scarcity. Actually, we operate a kind of prepaid system with a filling station. The agreement was that, scarcity or no scarcity, we would be supplied fuel on demand. After all, that is why we pay ahead of time.
The problem was that no one had any inkling that the present scarcity would hit town. Everybody just woke up one morning and gboza, fuel scarcity was slammed on our faces. I ran to our faithful dealers but discovered to my amazement that they too were caught unawares.
How for do? There would be fuel in four days' time, I was told. Did you say four days? Well, you know we have never disappointed you andŌĆ". In all honesty, they had never disappointed us. But that did not remove the dilemma we had found ourselves in. For the record, I had five official cars to fuel (not for me ooooo!), otherwise alarm go blow.
I got really mad when one of my immediate bosses told me that he went to queue up at one filling station and was able to get some fuel. How much time did he spend on the queue? Six hours! He left home at 7.00am and did not get to the office till 1.00pm. I am not an economist, but common sense tells me that that is wasted man hours or whatever they call it. I shiver to think of how many valuable hours have been lost since this fuel wahala started. But who cares, as long as we are able to sell some crude oil and distribute the money to those who have no idea how much it costs to refine one barrel of crude.
Well, I called up the station manager of our filling station again towards the end of the week. Good enough, he said that they were taking delivery of some stock that day. He advised me to bring in our cars the following day ŌĆō a Saturday ŌĆō as early as 5.00am. Me, take three expensive, state-of-the-art cars out of the office at 5.00am. God forbid! I told him it was not possible. The best I could do was send in the cars at 6.00am. He could not guarantee that we would still be able to enter the station at that time, but we wanted to give it a try.
The following day I drove out of my house at 5.30am to wait for our drivers at the filling station. Interestingly, we were able to get some fuel at about 11.30am. Tired, weary and disillusioned, I could not but wonder where we are heading to. The country I dreamt of in 1999, 2003 and even last year is not the same as this. Maybe I am still dreaming. I will let you know when I wake up. The only problem is that it is taking me too long to wake up from this nightmare!

Good Morning Addicts!
|Michael Ryder has been on a tear since re-joining the Habs
notching 20 points in as many games.
With Toronto poised to make it to the post season for the first time in seven years, it marks the first time since before the 2004-05 lockout that a match up between these rivals this late in the season actually matters for both teams.
What makes it more interesting is the strong possibility that the Habs and Leafs could very well meet in the first round of the playoffs. Toronto currently leads the season series with a 2-1 edge earning a 2-1 victory in the Habs season opener and a 6-0 blowout in February.
Since the embarassment at the hands of the Leafs however, the Habs have gone 20-5-5 including a 5-2 victory over the Leafs.
A big difference between tonight's game and the previous three between the two clubs is the presence of Michael Ryder. The 5-2 win over Toronto was Ryder's first game in his second stint as a Hab and he played without practicing with the Canadiens and on very little sleep after the trade that brought him to Montreal in exchange for Erik Cole.
Since that game Ryder has accumulated 20 points in 19 games.
Montreal will be heading into tonight's tilt without forward Colby Armstrong (knee) and defencemen Alexei Emelin (knee) and Raphael Diaz (Concussion). Nathan Beaulieu who was called up to replace Emelin played extremely well in Thursday night's 5-1 drubbing over the Sabres with 16:50 minutes of ice time while registering four shots on net and posting a +2 rating.
Toronto will be playing without forward Joffrey Lupul (concussion) and Mikhail Grabovski could be a game time decision.

Wireless Setup Instructions
Over the summer, Millikin's Information Technology department has been hard at work on several projects to overhaul our network infrastructure. Most buildings on campus have received substantial upgrades to their wired and wireless networking, and when classes begin, we will have Wi-Fi available all across Millikin's campus, including some outdoor spaces. In addition to the upgrades made to the network, the campus Internet bandwidth has been increased by 150% to take advantage of the improvements.
As a part of this project, we made the decision to disable the unsecured wireless network MU-GUESTS. This actually serves to increase wireless performance for both students (on the MU-RESNET network) and faculty and staff (on the MU-ADMIN network). In addition, all wireless network traffic will now take place over a secured wireless connection in order to protect the security and data integrity of computers on our network. Students, faculty, and staff alike can now use our wireless networks without risk of the many dangers of public Wi-Fi networks, such as data theft.
Instructions for connecting to Millikin's Wireless Network vary based on the operating system of the computer.
Employees wishing to connect to the wireless network should use the
Students wishing to connect to the wireless network should use the
Windows 7 and Mac OS X version 10.6 have Wireless Configuration Utilities that will automatically find the correct wireless settings for your computer to connect to Millikin's Wireless Network. Once the utility has completed setup, the end user must log in with the Millikin username and password.

Fans of the classic poetry of American writer Emily Dickinson will want to check out this play opening at the Teatro Zuccone in Duluth on Thursday.
