The new GPS150 DualNav positioning sensor from Digital Yacht combines a 50 channel GPS with GLONASS, the Russian funded satellite positioning system that is now online and providing a backup or alternative to GPS. This "smart" sensor will automatically switch between the systems or the user can manually select the most appropriate for their activity. The GPS150 will also be able to utilize the European funded Galileo positioning system when it comes on line (IOC – Initial Operation Capability in 2018.)
The implementation of GLONASS as an additional satellite positioning system is probably the biggest step change in maritime navigation since GPS was fully augmented back in the mid 1990s. Digital Yacht's GPS150 utilizes the industry standard NMEA data format allowing older chart plotters as well as current generation products to take advantage of this new technology.
The GPS150 also allows the user to select a variety of different NMEA baud rates (4800, 38400 and 115200) to allow interfacing with legacy and current systems. It also supports a new TurboNavTM mode which will appeal to racing yachtsmen and performance users where GPS/GLONASS data is output at 10Hz (10 times faster update than normal) and with an interface speed of 115200 baud which is 24 times the speed of normal NMEA data. According to Digital Yacht, this improves slow speed navigation data as well as providing the best course and speed data in a dynamic situation.
The GPS150 houses all the electronics in its compact 3-inch antenna and has a single multi core cable for power and data. Power consumption is just 30mA at 12V. It can be used as a simple positioning sensor for plotter or VHF DSC systems as well as a precision, high speed sensor for performance sailing or super yachts. Setup includes a block of internal switches setting the characteristics of the unit, allowing the device to be programmed in the field without specialist software or programming tools.
Digital Yacht have also developed a range of external interfaces for the GPS150 including a wireless adaptor to allow data to be sent to mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and Tablets as well as a USB interface for PC and MAC users. An NMEA 2000 interface will be available in 2014 allowing multiple sensors to be connected to a NMEA2000 backbone so the user can have alternative positioning inputs on complex systems.
The GPS150 is priced at $189.95.

Obama Birth credentials fraudulently and criminally fabricated! Biggest FRAUD in US History!

The evidence is all there, it's up to the people to demand answers and an official investigation. Obviously the government has been infiltrated and the regime is unwilling to prosecute themselves, why wouldn't they be..
We trusted in a system that was corrupted. Now all we can do is spread the word and try to inform the people of what is going on while they were asleep. ..wake them up. The lies are obvious if you choose to see them.
We must fight back and that's the way... maybe we can oust some of them and cog up the plans it would be at least it's a start.
...and what I want to know is why did he lie and who is he really?
Why claim earlier in life to have been born in Kenya, even his own autobiography. ..sorry, I just flat out don't believe that was an unintentional mistake.
Unless to gain somehow, like with being admitted to a school he couldn't have gotten into otherwise.. but for what and if so where was he born?
Why later change the claim of birth origin in order to run for president?
What would drive a person to do this?
..where did Obama get those scars kn his head???

Lawsuits happen all the time, especially where giant names and tons of money are involved. But this lawsuit is rather unusual: Facebook has been sued because it is accused of infringing on the patents of a Dutch programmer Joannes Jozef Everardus van Der Meer with its "Like" button. Joannes Jozef has been dead for more than 8 years and the company that owns his intellectual property is behind the lawsuit.
So why the sudden lawsuit? BBC reports that Rembrandt Social Media holds the patents on behalf of Joannes Jozef and has contested that the Facebook "Like" button bears a remarkable resemblance to what's described in patents of Joannes Jozef, which is "an important foundation of social media as we know it", says Rembrandt Social Media. The lawsuit has been filed in a federal court in Virginia. Joannes Jozef's widow and his colleagues are expected to testify in the court.
Rembrandt Social Media claims that Joannes Jozef created a social diary service he called Surfboard and was awarded the patents in 1998. A critical factor in the lawsuit is Rembrandt Social Media's claim about Facebook knowing the patents to be of Joannes Jozef as they made reference to them in Facebook's own patent application. Facebook has not made any comments about the lawsuit, and it is unclear at this point as to what will be the outcome of the trial. What needs to be seen is what the jury will decide.

One of the most used tags in CFML is <CFMAIL>. It is definitely the most used of all the Internet protocol tags, and as one of the original CFML tags (it was actually one of the DBML tags and originally named <DBMAIL>), it has also been slowly enhanced and updated with each new release of ColdFusion. Slowly. Maybe a little too slowly.
ColdFusion MX 6.1 introduces a whole new <CFMAIL>, a much better and much more powerful <CFMAIL>, and this month I'd like to walk you through these important changes.
Improved Performance
Let's start with performance. <CFMAIL> was never designed to be a high-performance mass mailer, and yet many developers have tried using it as just that. <CFMAIL> has always been very capable of delivering hundreds, even thousands, of messages, but that's about as far as the tag could be pushed.
ColdFusion MX 6.1 introduces important changes to the <CFMAIL> engine that facilitate dramatically increased mail-delivery performance. In fact, in testing, we clocked <CFMAIL> on a fairly typical box delivering mail at over 1,000,000 messages an hour (so fast that the bottleneck became the network and mail server rather than ColdFusion).
So what changed? Two things:
<CFMAIL> performance has been improved in all versions of ColdFusion, but if you need high-volume mail delivery, then you should be using ColdFusion MX Enterprise. The two changes just described apply to ColdFusion MX Enterprise only.
Server Redundancy
One frequently requested <CFMAIL> enhancement is support for backup SMTP servers so that if a mail server is down, a backup SMTP server would be used. Support for redundant (backup) SMTP servers has been added to ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise (this too is an Enterprise-only feature).
ColdFusion Administrator contains a new field (in the Mail page) named "Backup mail servers". You may specify as many servers as you like here (DNS names or IP addresses) in a comma-delimited format (you may also list backup servers right in the <CFMAIL> tag SERVER attribute). The specified servers are the backup servers, and will be used automatically if the primary SMTP server is unavailable.
It is important to note that <CFMAIL> does not support multiple mail server delivery. These additional servers are backup servers and are used only if the primary server is unavailable. If a server (any server) is unavailable, then ColdFusion will attempt to use the next server in the list. Once a server has been flagged as unavailable, ColdFusion will not attempt to use it again for 60 seconds. If all servers are unavailable, then an error is logged.
Like the high-performance features discussed above, the ability to specify backup SMTP servers is an Enterprise-only feature. (From this point on, however, everything discussed applies to all versions of ColdFusion, including ColdFusion MX Standard).
SMTP Security
SMTP was never designed to a be a secure protocol. As we are all painfully aware, you can never really be sure who mail comes from and whether or not a FROM field contains the actual sender address. It's all too easy to submit fake SMTP e-mail to mail servers for processing.
In recent years, mail administrators have started taking steps to prevent their servers from being used to deliver unauthorized mail (commonly known as relaying). One technique that has gained popularity is to require an SMTP login. Unlike POP, which always requires a login, SMTP usually does not, but many SMTP servers now do require that login credentials be passed in in order to deliver outbound mail. If enabled, this security prevented the use of <CFMAIL>, as <CFMAIL> provided no way to specify login information.
ColdFusion MX 6.1 supports SMTP logins in two ways:
The ability to use SMTP logins is an important enhancement, and one that will make many server administrators very happy.
Multiple MIME Types
One of the most eagerly anticipated <CFMAIL> enhancements is the ability to include multiple bodies of different MIME types all in a single message. What does this mean? Consider the following:
You deliver reports via <CFMAIL>. Your reports are detailed, have columns, colors and fonts, use images, and more, and so you tell <CFMAIL> to deliver the e-mail in HTML, as most mail clients, including Outlook and Outlook Express, support HTML e-mail. The problem, however, is that not all users have mail clients capable of displaying HTML e-mail, so you also need to generate a plain-text version of your report for those users. Of course, this then requires that you maintain a record of which version to send to which user (probably a flag in your database). You'd need a way for users to specify the message type they'd like, and then mail generation code that might look a bit like this:

<CFIF user.htmlmail>

HTML body

Text body
You'd need to repeat everything, not to mention maintaining the user mail preferences. You'd also not be able to use the <CFMAIL> query attribute easily, or you'd need two queries - one for text message recipients and one for HTML message recipients - and then you'd need two <CFMAIL> tags (one for each query).
There's a better way to do this. E-mail messages can actually contain multiple bodies, each of a different MIME type. The problem is that <CFMAIL> did not support the use of this feature. Until now, that is. Here's the ColdFusion MX 6.1 version of the previous example:

<CFMAILPART TYPE="text">
Text body goes here

<CFMAILPART TYPE="html">
HTML body goes here
As you can see, a single <CFMAIL> tag is being used along with two instances of a new tag named <CFMAILPART>. This new tag allows you to embed multiple bodies in a single message, as long as each has a different MIME type. This way it is the mail client that decides which body to display, and this makes your life a bit simpler. (It also means that your mail messages will be bigger; you'll need to decide whether or not this is acceptable.)
Any and all MIME types are supported, although in practice you'll probably use only TEXT and HTML.
Note: Although we're just covering <CFMAIL> in this column, it's worth noting that <CFPOP> has been similarly enhanced and now supports the retrieval of multiple bodies as well.
Other Enhancements
In addition to all the changes listed thus far, <CFMAIL> also features lots of little enhancements. Some worth noting are:
<CFMAIL> is an important ColdFusion tag and ranks as one of the most used tags in the CFML language. For high performance and high-availability mail delivery you should definitely consider using ColdFusion MX Enterprise. For all users, the enhancements to this tag in ColdFusion MX 6.1 provide yet another compelling reason to upgrade.
On a totally separate note, this is my 50th CFDJ <BF> on <CF> column - that's 50 back-to-back columns (with only one exception, and I'll try not to let that happen again). While writing this column, I glanced at the topics covered since way back when, and was reminded of just how far ColdFusion has come in such a short time. It's been a great ride thus far, here's to another 50!

While much of the new cfmail functionality is great, it comes at a price - The inability to write a text file into email directly from a database or other source. All I had to do was create a boundary and header and add that text in between my cfmail call like so:
After the "upgrade" only cfmailparam worked - back to cfdirectory/cffile calls - more overhead and unnecesary code. The new cfmailpart doesn't allow for attachements like this - ONLY inline content. Oh well, 2 steps forward, one step back...

|Fran Garland 09/24/03 08:31:25 AM EDT
Yes CFMail has come a long way.
I intend to use some of this new functionalily on my companies web site.
In addition it give me more fodder to upgrade the one server not on the CFMX 6.0 En since the setting staying connected in only available in this version. Enjoyed the article

Australia's 4G Is So, So Much Better Than The US
We're always being told the U.S. is now lagging behind other, more industrious nations in science and technology and basically anything that isn't spending on the military. How much is it lagging, though? Here is a depressing graph to help quantify that.
Telstra's Wi-Fi 4GX Advanced III: Hands On With The World's First 600Mbps Mobile Hotspot
Telstra is Australia's largest telco, and that means it can spend a bit of cash on keeping its 4GX mobile network world-class and super-fast. Alongside switching on Voice Over LTE, the new Wi-Fi mobile hotspot that Telstra calls the Wi-Fi 4GX Advanced III is capable of 600Mbps download speeds — theoretically.
What Is 'Category 9' 4G?
As much as we might like to complain about our mobile internet coverage and the speed of our connections, Australia's mobile data networks are actually world class. Along with Korea and Sweden, Australia leads the way in the adoption and take-up of new super-fast 4G LTE-Advanced standards — and the latest is Category 9, a fancy frequency-meshing network capable of 450Mbps downloads.
What Is 5G?
If you take a stroll outside today, you'll see a lot of people with mobile phones, phablets or tablets in their hands making calls, using the internet to catch up on the news, watch videos, or interacting with others via Facebook, Tumblr or Twitter.
LG Is Building A Smartwatch With An Enormous Battery
I have a hard time caring about smartwatches. They sound neat, but most of them have tiny batteries that can barely last a couple days. Why can't someone make a watch that both looks swanky and has a decent sized battery? Well, LG just did: it's called the Watch Urbane LTE.
Huawei Wi-Fi Cube 4G: Australian Review
If you can't get ADSL or cable or NBN internet at home, or if you don't need that much data per month over the 'net, and you live relatively close to a city or metropolitan area, a 4G mobile broadband device might suit your needs very well. These usually come in the form of a Wi-Fi hotspot, portable and battery-powered, but this Huawei Wi-Fi Cube is designed to live in your home and connect everything in it wirelessly to the internet through Vodafone 4G.
Optus Launches 700Mhz 4G LTE
Telstra's Top 4G Mobile Broadband Plan Is A Bit Silly [Updated]
If you use a lot of mobile data, it can be attractive to go all-out and find a plan that has extra capacity over what you'd usually use. Having the freedom to browse the 'net and download and not limit yourself can be a liberating experience. There are times when you should hold back, though — it just doesn't make sense to buy Telstra's two most expensive mobile broadband plans.
Telstra's Super-Fast 4GX Is Now Official
Got a new Galaxy S5, LG G3, HTC One M8, iPhone 6 or other LTE 700MHZ-compatible smartphone? Got a Galaxy Note 4 faithfully pre-ordered? Telstra has officially introduced its next-generation mobile data network, and it's promising some pretty impressive download figures as well as massively improved range and coverage.

This shop closes at 5, I go there at 415 with a couple of wheels and tires that I needed mounted and he said for me to leave them there and they will get to them tomorrow... I needed them done today, and it's not like it was even 445 or 450, it was 415. That's pure lazyness, have always heard bad things about them but decided to let them win my business, yea not this time nor will I ever give them a chance again

These guys have always been helpful and have never tried to sell me something I didn't need when I have gotten tires rotated or replaced or inspections done. They discuss what I need in order to keep my cost down and my safety up, shifting the tires according to wear and warning me when I am going to need to plan to get new ones before my next inspection.

Don't ever take your car there. The business is losing customers because of their money-gouging shenanigans and they are still trying to scalp people out of money.
I took my Kia Sportage there to have a timing belt put on, because they said they could do the work. Little did I know they did not replace some clips and other accessories that is supposed to happen whenever you replace a Sportage timing belt. Now I'm paying $600 to have several things replaced on that side of the engine all because they were too lazy/stupid to do the work correctly.
Bottom line: if you can't do the work, don't say you can.
I would love to send them the bill for this work that I will have to wait several weeks to do because I don't have the money.
we do not install timing belt this person is wrong we have never performed any engine work thanks

Million Dollar Baby
2004 Directed by Clint Eastwood
Beyond his silence, there is a past. Beyond her dreams, there is a feeling. Beyond hope, there is a memory. Beyond their journey, there is a love.
Despondent over a painful estrangement from his daughter, trainer Frankie Dunn isn't prepared for boxer Maggie Fitzgerald to enter his life. But Maggie's determined to go pro and to convince Dunn and his cohort to help her.

Bolstered by knockout performances, balanced in all aspects of storytelling & finishing on a high note with a gut-wrenching finale, Million Dollar Baby is a wonderfully crafted, brilliantly narrated & expertly paced sports drama that may seem like just another underdog story at first but changes its course in the middle to end up as something else entirely.
The story of Million Dollar Baby follows an old, rugged & experienced but underappreciated boxing trainer who has spent a lifetime in the ring training some incredible fighters but also finds himself being haunted by his past mistakes, for which he tries to make up by taking an amateur boxer under his wing & help her achieve her dream of becoming a professional.
Directed by Clint…
Million Dollar Baby is an example of story telling that is so brilliant it seems almost too easy. It just flows so smoothly and patiently while never once being boring, a story of three characters that feel authentic and genuine, real people that I felt compassion for throughout. Clint Eastwood is both behind and in front of the camera for this one, and both aspects are an achievement he should be proud of. His performance of Frankie Dunn often times felt like business as usual for Eastwood, a familiar voice and demeanor to many of his other memorable roles, but just when I thought I had him pegged for typical he threw a few punches at me that felt anything…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
After doing a litle research and noticing that this is considered a neo-noir film (apparently they call it a pulp noir), I thought it would be a good chance to rewatch it as I didn't really like it the first time I watched it some years ago. After rewatching it, I still can't really understand why this is listed as a neo-noir and still can't call it a good film.
I don't want to be one of those guys who say they didn't like the film just to look cool, the truth is that this film doesn't impress me on a technical nor on an emotional level. I still can't understand what's all the fuss about, there's nothing particularly great…

Where does melodrama end and real drama begin?
I'm not quite sure, but I am certain this film walks exactly in between.
Storywise this is essentially a two-parter. The classic build up with the exposition of characters, their bonding and subsequent resolution. What this film does, however, is make that resolution almost a story in itself. And therein lies its strength and its weakness.
Eastwood takes his time to establish the main protagonists in this story and I applaud him for it. It is directed with great sobriety and allows all actors involved to shine and focus on their characters and the story. The relationship triangle we are shown is tangible and very believable, most notably the deep friendship and…

Contrary to what I expected, Million Dollar Baby is a truly visceral experience headlined by fantastic work from Hillary Swank. I expected Clint Eastwood to be great both in front of and behind the camera and I wasn't disappointed. Swank was a complete surprise though. She had the ability to make or break this film and she more than "made" it. Her chemistry with Eastwood was palpable and an absolute joy to watch.
Behind the camera Eastwood was even more impressive. In particular his use of lighting, especially in some of the earlier gym sequences was impressive. I've never thought much of Eastwood-the-director but Million Dollar Baby gave me reason to rethink…
Expectations can be real killers sometimes and at the time of its release it was seemingly impossible to go anywhere without hearing of the greatness of Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. A real success both financially and critically, as well as bringing home numerous shiny awards, Clint landed a true hit with this boxing tale. It's a genre that pretty much always guarantees to do well and not something I'd ever expect Eastwood to take a shot at. Despite liking the idea I never really got a chance to watch it, so with years and years of build-up, pressure by everyone for not having seen it, and expecting to be emotionally drained I decided it was finally time. The question is…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
For much of Million Dollar Baby Eastwood has convinced us this is a sports film, a boxing drama where the protagonist will encounter some challenges but eventually overcome them and emerge the victor both in and out of the ring. Any boxing fan would not be fooled. The bouts are obviously glamourised for the big screen, and the shaky grittiness that the camera affords them does not entirely legitismise the sequences. The is boxing from a video game level; every swing is a massive arc that must be ducked under, every dramatic headshot heightened in slow motion, every fight ending in a KO. Maggie begins to win so often and so easily that we are peering around the corner for…
Best Picture
Best Actress - Hilary Swank
The last third of MILLION DOLLAR BABY is such a bizarre melange of ridiculous plot details and absolutely devastating emotions that I almost don't know what to do with it.
I guess all I can say is that MILLION DOLLAR BABY is a deeply flawed, absolutely beautiful film that tears my heart out.
I will also say that anybody who wants to take down Clint Eastwood as a director, or an actor, which seems to be the style lately, you'll have to go through me first. He deserves every Oscar he's won, and he should have one for acting too. For MILLION DOLLAR BABY. (Or GRAN TORINO)
Or at least it seems like genuine emotions in this masterpiece of a film which incidentally is Eastwood's best drama so far and considering how good Mystic River is that's saying something. The storytelling is both fluent and well paced and all actors involved deliver some of their best work so far which is mainly because Eastwood is so good at bringing out the best in his actors. I think people who have watched this film and Mystic River will agree. Eastwood is a no-nonsense story teller and cuts right through to the bone which means that there aren't many subplots and this is a really good thing in this film because the main story doesn't need a large number…
Moving backwards seemingly through Eastwood's directing I wasn't expecting much of Million Dollar Baby. Lucky hack Haggis' work and Eastwood's rote directing of late had skewed my expectations. But I gave it a title shot considering I had been on a winning streak of Boxing films for some reason. (NowTV is littered with them.)
First off, what a cast. Some of these beasts hadn't hit their stride since maybe the last few years. Great use of V/O, can't say why it's so good, maybe it's because it feels like an old recording, before Freeman became a parody of himself and a one-note older actor.
It's a sweet, well-realised, emotional film and that's before the half way mark. From then it…

I made a spur of the moment decision to finally watch this and it wrecked me. I wouldn't usually watch a film about boxing but damn Hilary Swank definitely deserved the acclaim she got for this performance.
Million Dollar Baby is too depressing, but mostly very powerful in its emotion and so well written with a superb script. Morgan Freeman, Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank all gave amazing performances, their characters are so well developed, the drama here is incredibly engaging and moving to watch, the score is great and the directing is fantastic. It is such a stupendous movie that is one of the most deserved Best Picture winners of the decade.
Beautiful score. A twist ending for the boxing genre. Very sad.

Dina Titus has sold out the United States to.
The blood hungry baby and American soldier murderer terrorist Zionist Rep. Shelley Berkley who is not pro-American, sends billions a year to Israel, who is a welfare check defendant from American tax slavery forced system.

on sound footing. I will honor that commitment. "Shelley Berkley has voted to cut medicare benefits by $500 billion ($500,000,000,000"). This cut was in the new Health Care Bill which was rammed down our throats. This bill was supported and voted for by Rep. Shelley Berkley.

Atlas Elektronik UK, with its Atlas-QED consortium partners ITT Corporation (formerly EDO Corporation) and QinetiQ, has achieved a successful Critical Design Review of a mine counter measures (MCM) flexible agile sweeping technology (FAST) technology readiness demonstrator (TRD), in line with the main program schedule.
The demonstrator, which is being supplied under contract, will ultimately enable the MoD to put a combined influence sweep (CIS) replacement into service using FAST Technology.
This latest milestone follows an Interim Design Review in September 2007. With the build phase well underway, the program remains on track to achieve the target of readiness for formal trials later this year.
The FAST platform, which is currently under production, is a modified Logistic Support Boat (LSB-R). Being fitted out at VT Shipbuilding, the vessel uses the same hull form as the Combat Support Boat (CSB) already in service with the UK Royal Navy. The CSB is a powerful, versatile craft whose major role is to support both bridging and amphibious operations. The FAST platform builds on the success of the CSB while incorporating significant performance improvements to meet the demanding requirements of this program.
During the Critical Design Review, UK MoD unveiled current plans for the launch and recovery mechanism envisaged from the Hunt Class MCMV (see right). This concept is being developed with Babcock Design & Technology.

Dealing with Nuisance Species
Environmental Biologist Guy Baldassarre talks about nuisance and invasive species
WSTM Video

Even if you're a nature lover, if 'they' get too close, or multiply in numbers, it can be uncomfortable. But there are coping strategies. We're talking gulls, geese, crows, pigeons--all are comfortable close to humans and can become nuisance species. "A lot of people say kill 'em all" says SUNY ESF Environmental Biologist Guy Baldassarre. "But that doesn't work."
What does work, is a variety of strategies. Birds look for food and habitat. "Your point of attack," says Baldassarre, "is to tell them that this isn't the place for you."
Case in point: The North Syracuse School District offices have installed a very loud alarm, that sounds like a bird being attacked. It goes off every 15 seconds. Gulls that used to congregate on the lawn and in the parking lot, no longer dirty the cars parked there.
Gulls like large flat places that look like beaches, which is why they also like parking lots and the flat roofs of buildings. "You are better off looking at your roof and see what is attractive to birds, and work with that," says Baldassarre.
Geese are also an issue considering the amount of poop they put out. A bit of strategy works here, as well. Baldassarre says he's seen many lawns mowed flat, right to the edge of water---which he calls an invitation. Instead, he suggests leaving a strip of high grass, which the geese won't try to push through, coming out of the water.
The strategies work best before birds settle in for the season, with the 'this isn't a good place for you' approach. And, birds are adaptable - that's why they're crowding in on us in the first place. To help look at other approaches, check the DEC website and click on 'Nuisance and Invasive Species' - or call SUNY ESF or any nearby higher education institution that has wildlife biologists, for advice.

Re: Community Consultation Session - New Belgrave Ambulance Branch Proposal
Ambulance Victoria paramedics have been based at our current Belgrave branch for 12 years with the team providing a 24-hour service within the area for more than five years.
Ambulance Victoria is committed to providing our paramedics a modern, fit-for-purpose branch that will service the local community for years to come.
We are now commencing a feasibility review of a potential site for a new branch at 5 Rutherford Road, Tecoma.
Preliminary concept designs have been developed and Ambulance Victoria would like to invite you to attend a Community Consultation session. At this session you can view plans and have your questions answered about the proposal.
When : Thursday 9th June
Time : 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Where: Upwey Community Hall
Sherbrooke Family & Children's Centre
1443 Burwood Highway, Upwey VIC 3158
At the session you will meet Ambulance Victoria Operational Managers, Belgrave Paramedics, and representatives of our Property Services Department and the Yarra Ranges Council Planning Department.
This session is an opportunity to clarify questions you may have about our service, such as:
How does Ambulance Victoria support our local community?
What does an Ambulance Branch usually look like?
What type of design would be appropriate within the Hills?
What other considerations have been made with regards to this proposal?
How can I share my feedback on the proposal?
Yours sincerely,
Chris Rhodes
A/Property Development Manager | Property Services

The Tecoma Village Action Group (TVAG) is one of many Township Groups throughout the Dandenong Ranges working to make their township a better place to live and work. TVAG is a member of the Shire of Yarra Ranges Townships Network. More
About Us
Interested in the future of Tecoma? Would you like to help with improving life in the Hills? Need help or advice pertaining to a development proposal?
Please contact our Membership Secretary
The Tecoma Village Action Group comprises residents living in the area of Tecoma who wish to contribute to the growth of and preservation of the characteristics of our township that draw people to live in this wonderful area of the Dandenong Ranges.
TVAG is a member of the Shire of Yarra Ranges Townships Groups Network and as such represents Tecoma to the Shire of Yarra Ranges. Through this link we are able to apply to Council for funding of Community Projects and be instrumental in developing "Tecoma's Future".
TVAG is an Incorporated Association that supports other organisations and events in the region of Tecoma, such as The Hills Food Frontier (FLAME Festival, Community Garden Pathway); Destination Tecoma, and art organisations such as the Tiffaney Bishop Collective and FATSpace.
TVAG is often contacted by residents with concerns about development issues. Through its contacts and experience, TVAG has been able to draw these concerns to the wider community and provide information and support for these concerns. TVAG has supported residents in their concerns all the way to Council and VCAT.
TVAG is an incorporated association of volunteers, members of the community who volunteer their time and experience to represent Tecoma. To be truly representative though, TVAG requires your support through membership and contribution to community discussions.
TVAG - Who are we?
Improvements to the streetscape of Tecoma has taken shape due to the work of the Tecoma Traders and TVAG.
Improvements have been made to the pedestrian cross over area on the corner of Sandells Road and Burwood Highway, making the transition from the footpaths to the roadway much safer for our children and elderly.
Vehicle drivers may have to get used to the change in road conditions but the crossing is now much better for pedestrians, especially those who need walking aids.
Safety for those crossing McNicol Road between the railway station and Burwood Highway has been improved with the installation of a road safety island.
This means that pedestrians coming from the railway station can safely cross McNicol Road without interrupting the flow (as poor as it still is) of traffic from McNicol road into Burwood Highway.
Tecoma Streetscape
Now is your chance to tell us why you choose to live, work and play in the Yarra Ranges. Your feedback and the voices of many residents will be used to tell Council what you value about Yarra Ranges' life and assist in influencing future decisions.
We want to hear what you think is special and unique about the area, so we can preserve and create communities that you want to be a part of.
Your input will further enable Council to advocate to State and Federal Government for improvements in infrastructure, aligning your priorities with Council's.
The process will culminate with the creation of a community values statement, which will have a key input into the overarching vision statement for Yarra Ranges.

Microsoft's big gamble: Critics say firm 'risks alienating users' as Windows 8 software and Surface tablet go on sale around the world
- Critics say entire firm's future could rest on the success of new software - but describe it a 'painfully imperfect' and 'disconcerting'
- Windows 8 software launches around the world along with new Surface tablet Microsoft hopes will take on the iPad
- New York launch coincides with midnight store openings around the world
Microsoft has taken the biggest gamble in its history as a dramatically redesigned version of its Windows software goes on sale around the world today.
Stores opened at midnight and the computer giant even opened a pop up store in the centre of Times square in New York to launch the software at the Surface tablet that Microsoft hopes can take on the iPad.
The launch is seen as critical for the computer giant as it tries to claw back ground lost to Apple and Google.
Scroll down for video
Microsoft's Windows 8 launch in New York, where consumers were able to try out its new Surface tablet for the the first time
Microsoft recreated the New York skyline for the Microsoft Surface and the launch of the Windows 8 operating system in New York
The software went on sale in 37 languages and 140 worldwide markets around the world
New PCs will ship with Windows 8 already installed.
For existing users, Windows 8 upgrade will cost £24.99 or £14.99 if you bought Window 7 PC between 2 June 2012 and 31 Jan 2013.
It will be available to download from Microsoft from midnight.
The firm's Surface tablet will also go on sale from midnight.
The redesigned Windows 8 software and a new Surface tablet running it were launched at an event in New York as the computer giant tries to regain the ground it has lost to Apple and Google.
'Windows 8 shatters perceptions of what a PC now really is,' said CEO Steve Ballmer, who said the new software was 'magical'
'We've truly reimagined Windows and kicked off a new era of Microsoft and for our customers.'
'Windows 8 will help you do everything and will make it a lot of fun, frankly, to do ... nothing.'
He said people will have several devices to choose from, including new designs that combine the best of PCs and tablets.
However, experts say the firm could be risking it all - and may even alienate users with its new software.
'Microsoft is about to embark on its biggest gamble in recent times with a Jekyll and Hyde operating system,' said Jason Jenkins, Editor of CNET UK
'Windows 8 is a huge departure from the last few versions of the software, aimed at heading off the competition from tablets, especially Apple's iPad.
'The result is something that is part modern-day tablet, part old-fashioned corporate Windows, and I'm not sure it truly succeeds at either.
'Plenty of brave design choices have been made and there is a lot to like about the new software, but ultimately Microsoft risks alienating people who have used Windows for years, while not doing enough to bring in a new crowd.

Microsoft opened a new store in Times Square in New York for the launch
'From Microsoft's point of view, this has to work. If it fails, its dominance of the computer industry is over.'
The new software was unveiled by Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer at a New York event in what critics say could be his 'last stand'.
'This is going to be his defining moment,' said technology industry analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy.
Windows 8 from Microsoft launched last night to large queues outside Currys & PC World in Tottenham Court Road, London
Shop staff and customers count down during the Microsoft Windows 8 launch event in Tokyo, Japan.
'Ballmer's legacy will be looked at as what he did or didn't do with Windows 8.
'If Windows 8 is not a success, a lot of people will be looking for Microsoft to make a change at the CEO level.'
Windows 8 is designed to run on PCs and tablet computers, heralding the biggest change to the industry's dominant operating system in at least 17 years.
It also marks the first time that Microsoft has made touch-screen control the top priority, though the system can still be switched into the familiar desktop mode that allows for control by keyboard and mouse.
Ballmer sees Windows 8 as the catalyst for a new era at Microsoft.
He wants the operating system to ensure the company plays an integral role on all the important screens in people's lives - PCs, smartphones, tablets and televisions.
'We are trying to re-imagine the world from the ground up with Windows 8,' Ballmer told The Seattle Times.

The Windows 8 start screen, which some experts say could confuse users
Early reaction has been mixed.
Some reviewers like the way the
system greets users with a mosaic of tiles displaying applications
instead of relying on the desktop icons that served as the welcome mat
for years.
Critics say it's a confusing jumble
that will frustrate users accustomed to the older versions, particularly
when they switch to desktop mode and don't see the familiar 'start'
button and menu.
'The result is something that is part
modern-day tablet, part old-fashioned corporate Windows, and I'm not
sure it truly succeeds at either,'
Jason Jenkins of CNET UK
'Some people may find it disconcerting – the more ingrained you are in how Windows 7 does things, the harder the adjustment may be.
'But after a while, the new version feels relaxing; natural, even.'
Charles Arthur, The Guardian
'Windows 8 has now been around in public beta form for so long that it ought to be known and polished - unfortunately for Microsoft, it seems actually to be largely misunderstood and still, in little places, painfully imperfect..
Matt Warman, The Telegraph
Windows 8 will hit the market backed by an estimated $1 billion marketing campaign.
Ballmer's margin for error is slim after being consistently outpaced by Apple and Google in his nearly 13 years as CEO.
During his tenure, Microsoft's stock has lost nearly half its value, wiping out more than $200 billion in shareholder wealth.
But the company's board hasn't expressed any public dissatisfaction with Ballmer, who is Microsoft's second-largest shareholder with a 4 percent stake worth $9 billion.
Only his good friend and predecessor, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, owns more of the company's stock.
Gates has a 5.5 percent stake.
Ballmer, 56, has spent most of his life
at Microsoft.
He was attending Stanford University's graduate school of
business in 1980 when Gates, a former classmate at Harvard University,
persuaded him to drop out and become one of the startup's first 30
He brought more business savvy to the operation just as the company began providing an operating system for IBM Corp.'s first personal computer.
Since Ballmer succeeded Gates as CEO in January 2000, Microsoft's annual revenue has nearly quadrupled to $74 billion and expanded into lucrative new territory with its popular Xbox 360 video game console, which has given the company a platform for delivering services to television sets.
But Microsoft has been slow to respond to technology shifts and has made some costly missteps trying to catch up.
Some of the best-known blunders include the company's iPod clone, the Zune, and its $6.3 billion acquisition of Internet ad service aQuantive.
Just two weeks before Ballmer took over, Microsoft's stock reached its peak price.
The dot-com bust quickly deflated that market value, and the company became locked in antitrust battles in the U.S. and Europe that distracted management for years.
The biggest question hovering over Windows 8: Is it innovative and elegant enough to lure consumers who are increasingly fond of smartphones, tablets and other sleek gadgets?
Those mobile devices have been setting industry standards while Microsoft engineers have spent two years designing a new operating system.
And Windows 8 must address not only the upheaval in the computing market since Windows 7 came out in 2009, but also have the flexibility to adjust to future shifts in technology before Microsoft releases another version in two or three years.
'It doesn't seem like Microsoft is really pushing consumers into the future with Windows 8,' said Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps.
'What Microsoft has done is like buying a pair of shoes for a kid.
'The shoes may fit exactly right today, but those shoes probably won't fit six months from now.'
Previous versions of Windows and other Microsoft products such as Office are so deeply embedded in companies and government agencies that Microsoft is still assured a steady stream of revenue from that segment of the market.
That loyal base of customers is one of the reasons that Microsoft is expected to earn $25 billion on revenue of $80 billion in its current fiscal year ending next June.
'This isn't a company that is on the edge of extinction, like some people would have you think,' said BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis.
'What we are seeing with Windows 8 is classic Microsoft.
'They let the (technology) market lead and then they follow.'
But investors want to see Microsoft do something more.
The nagging fear on Wall Street is that the PC industry is past its prime and heading into a gradual decline that will pull down Microsoft, too.
The signs of decay have been proliferating since Apple released the iPad in 2010, hatching a tablet computer market that has combined with an already vibrant smartphone market to siphon away technology spending that used to go toward the latest PCs.
Worldwide PC sales year are expected
to decline this year for the first time since 2001, according to the
research firm ISH iSuppli.
It's a drop of just 1 percent, but it
underscores a troubling trend that has been hurting Microsoft.
The shift to mobile devices has
whittled Microsoft's worldwide share of the computing device market from
67 percent in 2008 to about 30 percent today, estimates Forrester
Research analyst Frank Gillett.
Thanks to its Android software for
phones and tablets, Google is now the leader with a 40 percent share of
the computing device market.
Apple stands at 20 percent.
Ballmer's initially dismissed emerging threats from Google and Apple.
He consistently pooh-poohed Google as a one-trick company during its early years and in 2007 declared: 'No chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share.'
Those were some of his biggest mistakes, detractors say.
Google quickly made important inroads in Internet video, online maps, email and mobile computing and contributed to the damage that the iPhone and iPad have done to Microsoft and its partners in the PC market.
Apple's meteoric rise has been especially painful for Microsoft. When Steve Jobs returned to run Apple in 1997, the company was so bad off that it needed a $150 million infusion from Microsoft to stay afloat.
Now Apple has a market value of $570 billion - more than double Microsoft's $250 billion.
On Tuesday, Apple got a chance to upstage Microsoft when CEO Tim Cook showed off the iPad Mini, a smaller and less expensive version of its top-selling tablet.
In New York, Ballmer will herald the arrival of the most important product of his reign.
The market's response to Windows 8 may determine whether it turns out to be the opening act in his vindication or one of his final moments in the spotlight.
