Jim Marshall
Behind-The-Scenes Jim Marshall Photos of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Concert on View @ SF Arts Exchange
Johnny Cash, Folsom Prison 1968. © Jim Marshall Photography LLC
Last year, Chronicle Books published Pocket Cash, a stunning book of Johnny Cash images by world-renowned rock photographer and San Francisco native Jim Marshall. The local legend passed away last year, but he continues to live on through his incredible body of work. Now, you have the chance to see some of the shots from the book come to life in a special exhibit at the San Francisco Arts Exchange.
Chronicle Books Releases 'Pocket Cash,' Jim Marshall's Final Book
With the death of San Francisco–based Jim Marshall in March of this year, so ended the career of one of the most influential music photojournalists of the 21st century. His final book, Pocket Cash (Chronicle Books), completed shortly before his death, is an arresting visual history of musical legends Johnny and June Carter Cash, with both rarely seen and iconic images taken between the mid- '60s and mid-'70s. Marshall photographed the Cash family for more than 30 years, cultivating an intimacy that is reflected in these personal images.

Trust includes many rare images and showcases some of the world's greatest musicians since the late Fifties. Marshall has had the pleasure of photographing stars like Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, The Who, and Velvet Revolver. A chief photographer at Woodstock, Marshall was also the only photographer allowed backstage at the Beatles' final concert, and has shot dozens of magazine features and over 500 album covers.

Michael Bloomberg and Thomas Menino are co-chairs of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
Bloomberg said Friday that critics said it was "too soon to talk about gun laws" after other high-profile shootings.
He said the White House and Congress have not shown leadership on the issue.
Menino said he is overcome with both grief and outrage.
He said a national policy on guns should get rid of loopholes and get automatic weapons out of neighborhoods.
— Here's Menino's statement:
As a parent and grandparent, I am overcome with both grief and outrage by the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. This unspeakable act of violence will forever imprint this day in our hearts and minds. My heart goes out to the families impacted by this senseless tragedy and the many others we have recently witnessed across the United States. As a Mayor who has witnessed too many lives forever altered by gun violence, it is my responsibility to fight for action. Today's tragedy reminds us that now is the time for action. Innocent children will now never attend a prom, never play in a big game, never step foot on a college campus. Now is the time for a national policy on guns that takes the loopholes out of the laws, the automatic weapons out of our neighborhoods and the tragedies like today out of our future.

The importance of search and recommendation as the technology that underpins the personalization of TV on next-generation platforms like Horizon and TiVo was spelt out in London yesterday at Cable Congress. On a panel featuring the Chief Technology Officers from Kabel Deutschland,
Virgin Media, Liberty Global, Comcast and Time Warner Cable it became clear that this is considerably more than a 'nice to have' feature, and is central to their strategies to be the entertainment aggregator or curator of choice.
Dan Hennessy, CTO at Virgin Media explained how search and recommendation was one of the ways it could integrate apps like BBC iPlayer into its TiVo platform more completely, creating a better connected TV experience. "iPlayer could have been an isolated application but being able to surface content through search and recommendation is very powerful," he said.
Four out of five TiVo users are using an application of some kind on the Virgin Media platform and the way they find content generally is changing thanks to more intelligent personalization. "Because the box understands you, we are getting to a place where some customers are going to 'My Shows' more than they are going to the EPG," Hennessy revealed.
Balan Nair, CTO at Liberty Global, whose company uses the Think Analytics recommendation solution on its Horizon platform, told the audience: "We built one common recommdendation engine so that whatever you are watching on regular TV, the system figures out what to recommend to you, but it also collects information from the iPad app and builds profiles for the households."
He revealed that although consumers could log-in to the Horizon experience with their own profile, and he had expected them to take advantage of that feature, they do not. This means recommendations have to be based on household usage rather than individual viewing. To make recommendations more relevant the Horizon system is therefore gearing them according to the time of day, so that the programmes recommended in the morning or early evening are different to what is recommended later at night.
Other interesting comments from this panel:
You can read more about what these leading CTOs had to say in our other stories from Cable Congress but here is a comment that was given almost as an aside, but which is worth repeating:
Lorenz Glatz, CTO at Kabel Deutschland, reminded the conference how the simple things in life are important. In his German market, where admittedly service providers and consumers are behind the curve in terms of digital TV technology, the primary selling point for his DVR, which is flying off the shelves and offers four tuners and HDTV, is….pausing live TV. What customers really appreciate is the ability to pause a programme while they answer the phone, he told the conference.

With an Intranet, the same training materials can be viewed by any employee. As a result, you needn't worry about several copies of out-dated information circulating around the office, as may be the case with print-based communication.
Pull vs. push approach:
Too often, we provide employees with more information than they can possibly process or retain. An 80-page training manual that we push to employees may be viewed with dread. However, Intranets allow you to provide access to as little or as much information as employees wish to pull onto their desktops.
The emergence of Web development tools, such as Java™ and Shockwave™ have brought a greater degree of life to Web sites. Even with basic HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), you can create discussion groups, comprehension tests and other two-way communication tools for integration into your training materials.
Ease and low cost for updates:
Many of you may have experienced the frustration of creating a high-quality print publication, only to have a sudden change by management render the piece obsolete. With an Intranet site, you can easily and inexpensively update online publications and training materials—and you can do so as frequently as needed.
User-friendly interface:
Intranet applications typically use an interface that's conducive to point-and-click navigation. If employees can easily get to the information they seek, they're much more likely to look for that information.
With an Intranet, employees can access information from a central database at any time, and in any number of geographical locations. Self-training can be completed at home, in the office or on the road.
Simplicity in creation and maintenance:
Unless your needs are elaborate, Intranet sites can be created and maintained with a minimum of programming expertise. Once the basic shell is in place, support staff in your department can easily make most updates to information.
Keeping up with your workforce:
As more and more younger employees enter the workforce, keeping up with technology will become increasingly important. Employees will be less willing to receive training information through slides or print because they're used to being intellectually stimulated through electronic media.
An Intranet can be an ongoing work in progress. Of course, you must start with a meaningful foundation or employees will lose interest. But once you have a site in place, you can keep building a library of training and reference materials that will increase in value as it evolves.
As the evolution of Intranet sites continues, more and more features will emerge that expand its functionalism. For example, real-time training that combines a live mediator, online information and several remote attendees, will soon be practical.

Getting from DC Area Airports to Your Final Destination--Part 2, Dulles (IAD)
DC Like a Local continues its romp through the wonderful airports of the Washington, DC, area--none of which are in Washington, DC.
Dulles International Airport is located 26 miles from downtown Washington, DC, and is named for John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State under Eisenhower. It's IAD on your baggage tags.. You get your bags and are greeted with a number of options. One involves a bus to Rosslyn, VA (across the Potomac from Georgetown). The second involves a bus and Metro combination. The options are listed from cheapest to most expensive.
Here we go:
A. Metro Bus 5A goes from Dulles Airport to Rosslyn, VA, and L'Enfant Plaza, DC. Follow the directional signs to buses. Then search for the appropriate bus stop. There are signs telling you where different bus numbers stop. If you want to know when the next bus to arrive, check NextBus when you arrive. If you don't have a web capable phone, you can call (202) 637-7000 and enter stop number 5002017. And, of course, there is an iphone app for this. From Dulles you stay on the bus to Rosslyn, VA, or L'Enfant Plaza, DC. You can transfer to the Metro at either station. Bus fare is currently $3.10. There are no transfers from bus to Metro. The trip will take 45-60 minutes. Please note that, if you take the bus to the airport, you can get a discount on the bus transferring from Metro to the bus--but only if you use a plastic Smartrip card. Depending on what you are going to do in DC--and how long you will be here--a Smartrip card might be a good investment. If you use a paper ticket on the Metro, there is no transfer to the bus and you pay full fare.
B. You can take the Washington Flyer Coach Service from Dulles to the West Falls Church Metro Stop (Orange Line on the Metro). Buses leave from the Arrivals Level Door 4 at Dulles. Fare is currently $10.00 one way and $18.00 round trip. When you get to West Falls Church, hop on the Metro and take the subway to your hotel. The trip is 20-30 minutes on the Flyer bus.
C. Take the Super Shuttle. Super Shuttle is a van. It is a group taxi. If you are the first one off, it's quick, but, if not, it can take awhile. Very useful if you are going somewhere that is not conveniently near the Metro and/or you have a lot of luggage. To get a fare quote, just click on the highlighted link.
D. A Taxi. A Taxi from Dulles to downtown will be about $60. This fare quote was taken from the airport taxi website. The Taxi Fare Finder estimates that it will be $57.41 (interesting that penny).
Please note that all fares can change and taxi fares may depend on the traffic at the time of the day when you arrive.

Pot Nets man charged with abuse of his mother
A Millsboro man, 49, faces an abuse and assault charges after police say he neglected his infirm mother.
David T. Lee of the 34000 block of Meadow Lane, Pot Nets Bayside, had been caring for his mother, 69, who was impaired due to an illness, said Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.
Adult Protective Services became involved in the case October 2012, but Lee became uncooperative with nurses and failed to take care of his mother in a proper manner, Fournier said. As a result, the woman was injured in part due to neglect, he said.
EMS employees removed the woman from her home April 10 and took her to Milford Memorial Hospital where she was admitted.
Police issued a warrant for Lee's arrest and on April 11 a trooper spotted Lee driving erratically south of School Lane near Long Neck Road, Fournier said.
Police arrested Lee and charged him with his fourth driving under the influence charge, second-degree assault, intentional abuse or neglect of an infirm adult, possession of heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia and traffic violations.
He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $16,200 cash bail.

The Wyoming Hospital Available Beds for Emergencies and Disasters (HAvBED) System is a hospital capacity tracking system that will allow for web based updating of bed and other facility capacity statistics for the critical care hospital facilities throughout Wyoming. The HPP program will request hospitals to update their capacity data on an as needed basis. This data will then be analyzed and submitted to HRSA, WDH and other interested parties.
WAVE (Wyoming Activation of Volunteers in Emergencies)
The Wyoming Activation of Volunteers in Emergencies (WAVE) System is Wyoming's Emergency System for Advanced Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VHP) System.
ESAR-VHP is a national network of state-based programs that allows volunteers to register prior to an event. This allows volunteer managers to verify identity, licenses, and credentials before an incident happens.
This system also allows registered medical and non-medical volunteers to accept or decline a request to respond, and streamlines the verification process so that once on-site, volunteers can work at their highest capacity. All volunteer information is strictly confidential and is only used to verify and notify volunteers.
Every volunteer will be assigned to a local volunteer group. This allows the volunteer the ability to received training and respond with an established volunteer group. Training may be required but is offered in various ways to allow volunteers the accessibility and convenience they need.
Volunteers that are not affiliated with a registered volunteer group will have to go through a lengthy registration process that will significantly hinder their opportunity to respond. We highly recommend registering to volunteer prior to any event.

Dr. Kanoff, Mr. Driscoll, Mr. Hug, Mr. Moore, Mr. DiPiazza, Mr. Shirkey, Mr.
Cartine ACT
Present on behalf of the applicant: Steven Schepis, Esq.; Waldemar Ptaszek, Marc Walker, PE
Mr. Cartine – The objector is given 40 minutes for testimony and then
the public will be allowed to speak for 20 minutes. If any resident is represented by you, Mr.
Pearce, they will not be allotted time to speak, that is what you are here
for. What is remaining in your
Mr. Pearce, Esq for the opposition. – We will have the completion of
Mr. Hudasko's report and then reply to recent comments from Mr. Schepis.
Dennis Hudasko, PP – previously sworn
Requested a list of his exhibits that were marked in and the board
secretary repeated the previous exhibits that were marked into the record.
Mr. Pearce – We have submitted signed and sealed plans by Mr. Garrett
that Mr. Schepis questioned at a previous hearing.
Mr. Hudasko – In my opinion a variance is required for a 3 ½ story
building for this application. The
basement on this application does not meet the definition of a cellar. Cellars are usually for storage not living
area. That lowest
Page 2
floor should be counted as a story.
Mr. Ackerman asked Mr. Denzler for his opinion of Mr. Hudasko's
interpretation. Mr. Denzler – I disagree
with Mr. Hudasko, the height of the building meets the Township ordinances for
stories. Mr. Hudasko – The slope of the
driveway will accelerate the flow of runoff which will cause erosion. This would cause substantial public
detriment. The retaining wall is not in
compliance with your code and will cause detriment to the grading and the Terra
forming and will do harm to the code itself.
Mr. Huelsebusch – That is an engineering concern and he is not an
engineer. On this particular site there
is a severe sight distance problem and if we allowed the applicant to have a
steeper driveway it would be a safety issue.
Mr. Hudasko – The fundamental presence of the zoning code is to protect
the surrounding area. Mr. Hudasko – The slopes make the 2 sides of
the street to have different character.
On the downside of the street, there are smaller homes that are
generally uniformly arranged.
Exhibit O10 –
aerial photo from the GIS mapping from DEP
Mr. Ackerman – Where is the site located on this map. Mr. Hudasko – It is not on there. Mr. Ackerman – So what is the relevance? Mr. Hudasko – To show that the area is
Exhibit O11 – map
showing elevation line highlighted
Mr. Hudasko – O11 shows how far forward the house is placed. Example of what the applicant should have
provided to show a true depiction of what is proposed. This proposal violates the area
character. The massive terra forming
that will be done. The house would be at
a higher elevation than all the other houses on the street. This will be a mega structure that would be
built beyond any construction that I have seen in the Lake Valhalla
area. Mr. Huelsebusch – You said that
the footprints in the area are larger than the proposed house, it does not look
larger than the houses next to it. Mr.
Hudasko – I suggest that the board ask for the scale since the scale was off in
Mr. Steck's report. Mr. Pearce – The
board previously asked the applicant to come back with those numbers and they
have not done that to date. Mr. Hudasko
– I noticed that the building in Mr. Steck's report was drawn backwards so I
checked the scale and it was off. Mr.
Ackerman – What is the footprint? Mr.
Huelsebusch – Approximately 2,300 s.f.
Mr. Hug – What is the footprint of the neighboring houses on that side
of the road. Mr. Hudasko – That is not my
expertise. Mr. Hug – But you testified
that it was larger? Mr. Hudasko – I
reviewed the tax records. Mr. Hug – What
is the square footage of the neighboring houses? Mr. Hudasko – I do not know. Mr. Hug – Did you not review the tax
records? Mr. Hudasko – Yes but I don't
want to waste our few precious moments on this issue. Mr.
Pearce – I have information on that but it is the applicants' responsibility to
supply the information. Mr. Cartine – If
you have the facts why not submit it? Mr. Pearce – It is the applicant's
responsibility to submit the information as requested by the Board.
Mr. Hudasko – The substance of my testimony is that Mr. Steck's report
shows the house being grossly larger than the area, the scale is not correct
and their height calculations are not correct.
The variances only allow for a special allowance for the applicant. This variance should not be granted because the
applicant has not exhausted its remedies since he has not purchased additional
land from the neighbor to alleviate the variances requested. There were a number of comments on my report
by the applicant. There is no logic or
alternative rational from these comments and it was done by an engineer
commenting on a planners report so he is not qualified. There is no right for anyone in this town to
dig a hole as big as they like or build a mound as larger as they like. It is a clear separate choice. If you lower the wall by 3' to meet the
ordinance then the applicant cannot meet the side yard setback. The applicant has not responded to the need
for a variance in #5 of my report he said he meets some other code not Montville's code; he is
quoting an international code. Mr.
Ackerman - The applicant states that they meet Montville's code as well as the International
Residential Code. Mr. Hudasko – Bulleted
comments in his report as previously testified to before the board. Mr. Ackerman – Your bullet comments are the
same as the testimony. Mr. Hudasko –
Obviously Mr. Walker did not understand my report due to his response to my
report. Mr. Hudasko was allowed to
complete his bulleted remarks and his testimony was concluded.
Mr. Huelsebusch – He made a statement on the 10% slope of the driveway,
that is an engineering issue not a planning issues. Mr. Denzler – There is no building height
issue, disagree that this is a terra forming operation; the application
presented by the applicant represents the township requirements.
Open to Public for those residents not represented by Mr. Pearce

Mr. Doench - sworn
Not in favor of the application.
Bill Trautman – 14
Rockledge Rd. - sworn
There is a question as to whether there is enough water in
the area to support this application.
The yield of the wells along Rockledge runs around ½ gallon to 10
gallons per minute. This lot would be
built very close to the well at 13
Rockledge Rd.
This could cause trouble with water to 4 or 5 other neighbors
Sue Trautman – 14
Rockledge Rd. – sown
47 Lenape Drive has a huge amount of fill dumped on the property and
a storm came and washed a good amount of fill into Lake Valhalla. Lake
Valhalla will have to
spend a lot of money to dredge that fill out of the lake. Any construction above the existing homes
will cause water problems to the lower homes.
Kathy Fisher – 49 Rockledge - sworn
There are deed restrictions that run with the land. There are covenants on removal of dirt. There are to be no fence or structures on the

Towaco. The footprint is not the real
concern here it is the height of the building that is the concern. It is a peaceful area. The structure proposed will be an eyesore to
the neighbors and to the people at the lake itself. Mr. Cartine – Do you live in the area? Mr. Regan – I grew up there but I am a
Janelle Cristman – member of Valhalla Civic Association - sworn
Concerned with a building that does not conform to the community. There is a restriction on construction to
maintain the pristine appearance of the lake.
The house should conform to the other buildings in the area. Also I am concerned with traffic safety in
that area.
Oxsana Dziadiw - sworn
Concerned that there be some sensibility for the quality of the
area. Request the board look at the
scope of the environment.
Bill Kelly – 16 Rockledge
Rd. - sworn
Who will maintain the traffic control device? Is it common for residential home to have one
of these devices?
Jerry Abere – 47 Rockledge
Rd. – sworn
Concerned with the traffic safety by the hump in the road.
Closed to public
Mr. Hug – Is there a way the applicant can get together with the
neighboring property owner to purchase an easement to alleviate the driveway
issue. Mr. Cartine – Something is going to be built
there sooner or later. It would be nice
if there was some kind of concession.
Mr. Cartine – Mr. Schepis are you done with your case? Mr. Schepis – I am not sure Mr. Pearce is
done. Mr. Pearce – Mr. Marieneiss will
need 15 minutes and my closing statement will need ½ hour. Mr. Schepis – When is the next hearing. Discussion ensued on the next available
hearing date.
The application was carried with notice preserved to 8/6/08 with an
extension of time to act to 8/7/07
NOTE: Mr. Marinello resumed the chair
Track 2
Schachman, David - B: 59.01, L: 8.03 – 35 Kanouse Ln. – maximum building
coverage of 3,273 s.f. where 3,226 s.f. is allowed; maximum impervious coverage
of 6,941 s.f. where 6,452 s.f. is allowed for pool patio/walkway – Notice Acceptable ACT
Present on behalf of the applicant: David Schachman, applicant
Page 4
David Schachman – sworn
I hired a pool contractor to install the pool and was deceived. I was naïve and I had him handle the permits
and the as-builts. He did what I wanted
him to do and he said he was doing it legally.
Mr. Marinello – What have you done since you found out about the
variances. I have not done anything; I
would like it to remain as constructed.
There is no drainage issue. My
neighbors are here to testify. Mr. Ackerman
– What is special about your property that would allow for us to grant a
variance on the property if you came here before the improvements were
installed and how would you justify it.
Mr. Schachman – The area around the pool is to allow for the pool cover
and the other area is for entertainment purposes. Mr. Denzler - The construction file shows
conforming coverage and the as built indicates a variance. There was expansion around the pool and deck
area. Have you done any comparison as to
what was built and what is in the area?
Mr. Schachman – We all have similar sized pools and patios, but I have
more area around the pool. Mr.
Huelsebusch – A drywell would be required.
Open to public
David Cherkoff - sworn
The job done is beautiful. There
is no drainage problem to my property. I
do not see any puddles in his back yard.
Eddio Zanpaglione – 33
Kanouse Ln. – sworn
Job was completed in May 2007, my property lies below his and I have no
water problems. The property behind us
is unoccupied.
Public portion closed
Mr. Cartine – Is there some type of reduction of the impervious
coverage that can be done to make it more amenable? Are there other pools in the neighborhood
that have similar building coverage? Mr.
Denzler –If the angled right side of the raised patio was removed then the
building coverage would be met. To meet
the impervious coverage ordinance, removal of the turnaround area would be
required. Mr. Huelsebusch – They have 2
turnaround areas.
Mr. Marinello – Impervious coverage variances are taken seriously
before this board. We have always
required applicants to do something that is reasonable. Mr. Cartine – If the turnaround would be
removed in the front how much would be recaptured on impervious coverage? Mr. Denzler – Almost 600 s.f. so the walkway
could be extended and the front turnaround could be removed. Mr. Schachman – If I have to take something
off I would agree to that. Mr. Marinello
– We are not as concerned with the raised patio as the impervious
Motion to approve the applicant's request for a variance for building
coverage because it is de minimus and that the impervious coverage must comply
with the ordinance made by: Mr. Cartine;

Armenti, Gary – 1
Sunrise Way – B: 130, L: 20 – construction of an addition on existing single
family home; front yard setback of 39.3' vs 50' along Pine Brook Rd – Notice Acceptable
Present on behalf of the applicant: Gary Armenti, Applicant
Mr. Armenti -sworn
My house is a rather small house and we have 3 daughters. We cannot put the addition out the back since
the kitchen is located there. We are on
a corner lot so we have to meet 2 front yard requirements. If we were not on a corner lot we would not
be here. Mr. Denzler – The front setback
requirement on a corner lot to the Pine
Brook Rd side requires a variance. What alternatives were considered? Mr. Armenti – If the addition was constructed
to the rear of the house there would have to be an undersized hallway to
connect the addition. Mr. Marinello- Would the addition cause a visual problem.
Mr. Denzler – No but if approved would request a condition that only one story
addition could be built. Recommend a
turnaround area and they would still meet requirements for coverage. Mr. Huelsebusch – Does the new plan show the
driveway saving the tree? Mr. Armenti –
Yes and there is a K turn
Page 5
included. Mr. Huelsebusch – Recommend
a grading plan by a surveyor or engineer be submitted. I believe it can be done. Mr. Armenti indicated he had a grading plan
and showed it to the board professionals.
The professionals did not have this plan prior to the meeting for a
complete review.
Open to public – none – closed
Mr. Hug – I visited the site and this is a better zoning alternative.
Motion to approve the application
subject to a grading plan submitted to engineering department, drywell
to be installed, turnaround area, and limit the addition to one story made by: Mr. Hug; Second by: Mr. Driscoll; Roll call:

Kroll, John – 75
Passaic Valley Rd – B: 124.3, L: 13 – addition to
single family residence variance for front setback of 30.1' (existing and
proposed) where 50' required – Notice
Present on behalf of the applicant: John Kroll, applicant
John Kroll – sworn
We purchased the property a couple of years ago. There is an existing non-conforming front
setback. We are trying to conform to
the character of the neighborhood. Since
we are going up on the existing setback a variance is required. Mr. Denzler – 50' is required in the zone and
30.1' exists. Variance required due to 2nd
floor addition, the majority of the addition is conforming. Mr. Marinello – Is the setback consistent
with the other houses in the neighborhood.
Mr. Denzler – Yes. Mr. Denzler –
The size of the house is consistent with the neighboring properties. Not out of character with the
Mr. Huelsebusch – There are 4 trees that need to be removed to improve
site distance, note to be added to the plan regarding the drywell and any
underground storage tanks must be removed.
Rudy Tipner – 79 Passaic
Valley Rd. -sworn
I think that the application is a major improvement to the area.
Closed to public
Motion to approve the application subject to removal of 4 trees for
sight distance to be reviewed and approved by board engineer , add note to plan

Casha, Lawrence & Debra – 115 Horseneck Rd. – B: 139.03, L: 7.03 – amended
preliminary and final site plan/use/bulk variances in order to occupy 1,367
s.f. of basement level of existing 2 story office building – FAR of 27.23%
where 25% is allowed; off street parking of 80 spaces (existing & proposed)
where 104 required – Notice Acceptable ACT BY: 8/17/08
Present on behalf of the applicant: Geoff Evans, Esq.; Larry Casha,
Esq.; Joseph Mianecki, PE; David Bauman, PP
Lawrence Casha, applicant - sworn
Geoffrey Evans, Esq. – Requesting 2 variances, 1 for FAR and 1 for parking.
What are the changes to the building?
Mr. Casha – There are no changes to the building exterior. One existing tenant has employees doubled up
in offices and they would like additional offices. We would like to build out a portion of the
westerly side of the lower portion of the building. The area is sprinkled and there are 2 fire
stairwells and an elevator. I apologize
for not appearing at the last application hearing. We can address the concerns of the board from
the last application. We have made
Page 6
substantial changes to the plan that was previously reviewed. The FAR variance requested is smaller. We will meet all building and fire
codes. Mr. Evans – An issue was raised
at the last hearing about the parking on site.
Exhibit marked in
– summary of parking results on the property done by Mr. Casha
Mr. Casha – During the entire months of April and May and on June 3rd
on odd number work days we did a time study as to open parking on site. These are peak months for us. Since the township does not allow parking
along side streets for the high school they were parking in my lot. I have
spoken to the principal and I have not had a problem since. Spectators for the baseball games also park
in my lot. I have added those cars in my
counts into my report. There are
currently 80 spaces and we have the ability to put in 15 more spots which are
currently grass. There is plenty of
spaces on site now but will install additional 15 spaces if the board
requires. The lowest number of open
spaces during the time the counts were done was 21 parking spaces. The average number of open spaces without the
15 banked statements was 31 open spaces.
Sharon Daniels – Tenant at 115 Horseneck rd. – sworn
Founder of Diligent Partners. We
are a software service company. The Montville office is our
financial department. Would like to
occupy the new space as well as the current space. We need additional meeting space and storage
space. There would be no more additional
need for parking since there will not be additional employees. Mr. Ackerman – Do you have a limit to the
number of people that the basement area would use? Mr. Casha – I do not intend to overcrowd,
there will not be additional employees.
Michael Duddy –sworn
Tenant in the building since it opened.
No problem with finding parking for my patients or employees.
Joseph Mianecki, PE – sworn
Reviewed the variances requested.
FAR of 27.23% where 25% allowed.
Propose 95 spaces where 104 required.
Planning Board was concerned with stormwater management at the time so
we were allowed to bank the 15 spaces. Do
not find any of the traffic counts done by Mr. Casha to be out of
character. If the property was not
subdivided then an FAR variance would not be required. The original plan was to have the 2 buildings
on one lot.
Mr. Marinello – Do you have a copy of the shared parking
agreement? Mr. Evans – Yes.
Mr. Denzler – Reviewed the variances for the board. There is a 600 s.f. reduction from the
previous request. Recommend that the 15
banked parking spaces be constructed or have the traffic safety officer decide
if the spots need to be installed at a later time. The peak hours were not done during the peak
hours of the bank. I think the site can
accommodate the additional office space.
Mr. Casha – The parking decreases during lunchtime because everyone in
our building is going out to lunch.
Paul Bauman, PP - sworn
The proposal will not be a detriment to the zoning ordinance. There is no change to the exterior of the building,
no change in parking, no change to neighborhood. There is a surplus of parking on site. Applicant will add additional 15 parking
spaces if the board required. The
shared parking agreement is unusual and new to the township. It is safer to have the employees spread out
instead of the current overcrowded condition.
We are not changing the occupancy on site.
A2 – shared
parking agreement with Lakeland Bank
Mr. Huelsebusch - I happened to be on site in May and there was only
about 12-15 open spaces on site. I
recommend that the 15 spaces be installed
Open to public – none
Mr. Driscoll – I spoke to the vice principal and he stated that some of
the students were using Mr. Casha's parking lot. In my opinion, I think you should continue to
bank the spaces or at least a part of them; it would ruin the landscaping on
the site. Use maybe 5-7 spaces and leave
it up to the traffic safety officer to decide if additional spaces are require.
Mr. Casha – Would like to keep the spaces banked now and if the traffic safety
officer said we need to build the spaces we would. Do you agree to comply with the number of
employees (6) previously approved by the planning board when the applicant
applied for in the waiver of site plan for tenancy in this building? Mr.
Page 7
Casha – Do not remember a number of employees restricted on this
tenant, there are 10-15 employees. Mr.
Marinello – This is not a complete parking agreement, our attorney needs to
review the remainder of the agreement. Mr.
Cartine – Should be allowed to use the number of people allowed by building
code in the basement.
Motion to approve the application, the FAR is de minimus, no increase
in size of building, increasing the amount of space that is occupied, if not
subdivided there would not be a FAR issue, there is a shared agreement for
parking, unless traffic safety requires additional parking not to be installed,

5 things you need to know happening in Florida on Monday, June 30, 2014

Hello, this bug is actually quite a problem here at my office. Our executives - president, vice-president, COO, CTO, etc. have an assistant who manages all of their schedules through Outlook. He uses color coding for different tasks / events and now these items just drop their colors. It's a busy schedule across five calendars, so this problem has complicated the executive schedule management considerably. He was using Outlook 2003 and this started happened right after running the 6.0.7 connector. We moved him to a new machine with Outlook 2007 setup fresh - same problem.
Can you suggest any work-arounds at least for now. Is this issue being actively addressed? Any help with this would be appreciated.
We use 01.com as our email service provider.
This seems to be the bug report # 48348

ST. JOHN VALLEY – Puppy Rescue Mission stands out as an inspiring example of humanitarian and peace building efforts in a warzone, thanks to the hard work and dedication of Anna Cannan of Madawaska, the organization's founder.
Cannan created the organization primarily to save pets soldiers adopted while they fought on desert and mountain battlefields in far-off countries. The mission of Cannan's two-year-old Puppy Rescue is to bring these pets home with the returning soldiers to help them adjust to civilian life again, just as the pets helped the service men and women on the battlefield.
The website for Puppy Rescue Mission describes the service these animals provide to their counterparts as "helping to provide a sense of normalcy" for soldiers in the warzone, and in some cases, even saving the lives of service personnel.
In one case, dogs adopted by soldiers at an Afghanistan base attacked a suicide bomber who infiltrated the base and was attempting to enter the barracks. One of the three dogs involved in the attack died as a result and two others were seriously injured, along with several service members. But more than 50 soldiers would have died if the bomber had managed to enter their living quarters, said Cannan.
Other dogs, such as Mako, who is currently in Afghanistan, go on air supply drop recovery missions and patrols with their human teammates. Cujo, who lives in Colorado now after arriving in the U.S. a couple of months ago, went on over 21,000 missions and saved countless lives, said Cannan. In his civilian life, he is now a service and therapy dog.
Although some people think money raised would be more effectively spent on the numbers of stray dogs and cats in the U.S. who need homes, these battlefield animals face a short, grim life in Afghanistan if they are left behind when the soldiers move on.
"According to the Afghan culture, if a person is bitten by a dog, the person cannot get to Allah, the god Afghans worship, as dogs are considered to be a disgrace. Animals in Afghanistan are literally treated like trash, used for target practice, blown up, run over and used in fights in the case of many, many dogs," explains the Puppy Rescue Mission website.
Cannan's cause is a mission of mercy for both the soldiers and the animals in a warzone where mercy can sometimes kill.
From its humble beginnings in April 2010 with the "Lucky Seven" puppies who returned to the U.S. from Afghanistan with her fiancée Chris Chiasson of Fort Kent, Cannan, her board of directors, and teams of volunteers from all over the U.S. have saved and transported out of Afghanistan approximately 300 dogs and cats for returning service men and women.
The inspiration for Puppy Rescue Mission came to Cannan when Chiasson befriended one of the puppies of the dog that died defending the soldiers from the suicide bomber, and he wanted to bring Bear home with him when his tour ended.
Sometimes the animals end up in the U.S. before their companions, especially if their rescue becomes more urgent. It is against military policy for service personnel to befriend animals. A new commanding officer on base might order the dogs be terminated.
Chiasson's mother, Cecelia Pinter, said, "When my son was stationed [in Afghanistan] and I had his dog, it was like I had a part of him."
She said her son, back in the U.S., would lose the hardened edge he developed while in the warzone when he was around his Afghanistan pets.
"He looked like he was twelve again," she said. "The dogs helped him. You can see it."
She said those who disagree with the organization's mission fail to understand that it's more than about rescuing the dogs; it's about rescuing the soldiers.
"Some of these guys, they come out from doing missions and they've lost their buddies. It's a way for them to unwind."
In just two years, the organization has grown beyond Cannan's wildest dreams.
"It's bigger than I ever could have imagined. It's gone national. It's taken over the rescue world."
Puppy Rescue Mission has almost 30,000 Facebook followers now and has raised over $1.5 million to date. The Oprah Network will feature a section on Chiasson and the Puppy Rescue Mission, to air sometime in June.
"It's kind of exciting," Cannan said.
Up until last week, rescuing a pet for a returning soldier cost the organization approximately $4000 per dog. The operation involves transporting the animal from the warzone to the one shelter in the entire country of Afghanistan, in Kabul. The animal may have to travel 20 to 24 hours just to reach the shelter, said Cannan.
"We bribe a lot of locals," she said.
Generally, a service man or woman contacts an interpreter who finds a driver for the animal. The money is then wired to Afghanistan. Cannan said to ensure the animal makes it to the shelter, the drivers are paid on delivery. At the shelter, the organization pays to have the animals fed and vaccinated, and they arrange a flight for the animal from Dubai or Pakistan.
"Sometimes we run out of crates. The animals are stuck at the shelter too long. They catch a virus and die," she said.
Cannan said there is no such thing as "dog food" in Afghanistan, so the shelter has to cook the food at the facility, and the opportunity to transmit a food-borne illness is high.
"This is a country where bleach is hard to come by," she said. "We're dealing with a Third World country, so nothing goes smoothly."
The animals fly from one of the two exit ports to Dallas, Seattle, New York or Houston. There, teams of volunteers pick up the animals and send them to their forever homes.
Last week, Cannan spoke with the owner of Kalitta Air, an international freight airline, who has agreed to partner with the non-profit organization to send the crates to Afghanistan for free.
"We spent $20,000 on crates last year," said Cannan. "This is a godsend."
The donation should save Cannan and the organization approximately $3000 per dog.
In addition, Jon Paul DeJoria, the owner of Paul Mitchell hair care products, donated $10,000 to the organization last week. About a month ago, Nancy and Richard Rogers, the executive chairman for Mary Kay Cosmetics, donated $25,000 to the cause.
Cannan is thankful for donations the organization receives, but some donations stand out for her. The family of one of the rescued dogs, Leonidas, was so grateful for the service performed by the organization that they have raised $15,000 to donate to the cause.
"We'll never turn a rescue away," said Cannan. The activist said the organization had recently helped rescue an animal in Saudi Arabia for an American serviceman.
"We're making peace among countries," she said.
Puppy Rescue Mission helped a Lithuanian soldier and a German soldier rescue their adopted pets.
"They're so amazed that American people are willing to help even though they're not American," she said.
Cannan spends approximately 30 hours per week on this project. This is in addition to her full-time job as a registered dietician for Northern Maine Medical Center in Fort Kent. At the moment, she has five dogs at the shelter in Afghanistan waiting for transport.

What a Crock!
It would be sad if a good cause was stained by misinformation.
So, I ask: 1) where does PRM get their information about people getting bitten by dogs not going to Allah? 2) where do you get your information about no dog food in Afghanistan? and finally (at least for PRM) 3) where do you get your information about Afghanistan's treating dogs so poorly?
Now, I also have to ask JoJo 1) where in this article or on the PRM web site did you get the idea that they got the dog biting bit from the Qur'an? or that the Qur'an was even involved? 2) What other rescue organization do you refer to when you mention the rescuing of the 7 dogs?
Just so you know JoJo, Allah is also mentioned in the Hadith. Dogs are mentioned in it as well, but does not mention, PRM, (or that I can find) people bitten by dogs not going to Allah.
In response
Well, I would like to think
Thanks Cessie

The Earth Needs Trees—
Now, More Than Ever
"The debate is over. Global warming is upon us—with a vengeance."
—Time Magazine, April 3, 2006
|The destruction of tropical forests causes more CO2 emissions than all the world's automobiles. Reforestation is an important but overlooked way to reverse global warming.
Complex forest ecosystems cover nearly 30% of the earth's land surface. They provide livelihoods for some 1.6 billion people, and subsistence for 60 million indigenous inhabitants. These forests are incredible centers for biodiversity, sheltering more than two thirds of all known plant and animal species. Forests also protect watersheds by filtering excess nutrients from the soil, produce soil, and purify the air we breathe.
These are regional environmental concerns, but scientists now know that forests play a critical role in the climate worldwide. Forests moderate air temperatures, rainfall distribution, and wind and ocean currents. We also know that they are responsible for absorbing billions of tons of carbon from the atmosphere each day. Much of what makes our planet livable, we owe to the earth's forests.
Despite their critical importance, we continue to destroy them at an appalling rate. A UN report released in 2005 estimated that the world loses about 13 million hectares of natural forest each year… an expanse the World Wildlife Fund says is equal to 36 football fields every minute of every day.The Special Role of Tropical Forests
Central and South America contain Earth's largest concentration of tropical rainforest. Tropical forests are the most biologically rich ecosystem on the planet and they store more greenhouse gases (especially carbon) than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Deforestation—a byproduct of abusive agriculture, logging and development—has already claimed 50% of the world's tropical rainforests.
When tropical forests are destroyed or poorly managed, they release carbon into the atmosphere, which accelerates global warming. In fact, according to Conservation International, the burning, cutting and degrading of tropical forests accounts for as much as 20-25% of all greenhouse gas emissions. That's more than twice the amount produced by all the cars and trucks in the world. In other words, we will not be able to stop global warming simply by driving more fuel-efficient cars or switching to efficient light bulbs. We must also stop the destruction of tropical forests. And by reversing deforestation—by replanting forests and managing them responsibly—we may be able to take an important step toward reversing climate change.
In 1999, I became involved in an effort in Costa Rica to restore a section of "dry tropical forest." This unique ecosystem stretches from Panama north to Arizona, and is characterized by its two-season climate: a six-month drought followed by six months of heavy rain.
Much of the dry tropical forest of Costa Rica was cut down during the 20th century to create pastureland for cattle to feed U.S. demand for cheap hamburger. Reforesting these cleared lands with a diversity of native and non-native species has been underway for several decades now.Teak Furniture as a Catalyst for
Social and Environmental Change
I now spend part of each year in Central America, working on various tropical reforestation initiatives. Establishing markets for sustainably-managed tropical forest products—especially teak—has been a particular focus. In Costa Rica, I founded a company called Reforest Teak to design and manufacture teak products for export to the US. This is an exceptional line of forest-friendly teak furniture and furnishings unlike any others I've seen on the market. For more on Reforest Teak, see the related articles Choosing a Better Teak and Teak That's Good for the Environment .

Guyana immigrant sentenced for dealing drugs in W-B
An illegal immigrant from Guyana will spend more than eight years in federal prison for dealing drugs in Wilkes-Barre in 2011.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo sentenced Augustine DeCruz, 59, to eight years and eight months in federal prison, the U.S. Attorneys Office said Thursday.
DeCruz, a native and citizen of Guyana, was sentenced on charges of possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and possessing a firearm for drug dealing purposes.
State police narcotics officers busted DeCruz in February 2011 after he made multiple drug sales to undercover police in Wilkes-Barre. Police executed search warrants at his Wilkes-Barre residence several times.
Authorities seized 77 grams of crack cocaine, 85 grams of powder cocaine, two handguns, a rifle, about $2,500 in cash, a surveillance system and a large amount of packaging material.
DeCruz was initially hit with state charges, but his case was later transferred to federal authorities for prosecution in federal court.
During the investigation, authorities determined DeCruz was illegally living in the United States.

Just Pondering Part 138
How many times have you encountered a very long post? Did you change your mind about reading it? Or, did you read every word without hesitation?
I have to admit that long posts are not for everyone — it can be a very cumbersome task for most people to read a post that comprises of over 500 words.
These days, there are a lot of people who are into managing their time wisely; they devote a certain amount of their time to surfing the internet (The chances of these people reading long posts are rather slim).
Honestly speaking, if I am pressed for time and I noticed that your post was of a lengthy nature, I would bookmark it, so it could be read whenever I have free time on my hands.
The irony is: there is a market out there for everyone; it caters for those who like short posts and also for those who enjoy long posts.
For the record, there are those who can get away with writing long posts; their devoted readers know what to expect and they enjoy every word.
Yes, I do read long posts from various people and I enjoyed reading their articles; people like Wes Annac and Fran Zepeda are great at it; most of their information are of a channelled nature and every word matters (In my opinion, it would be rude to edit the important messages that were relayed by the Pleiadian High Council, Yeshua, Sananda and the Galactic Federation).
Then there are those who seem to try our patience by elaborating about nothing.
Obviously, you would know a high quality post when you encounter it; it would be one where the information provided was most beneficial to you (In that case, it wouldn't have mattered to you if it was long or short).

Final Stats | Post Game Quotes | Photo Gallery from the trip | Video Highlights
California Golden Bears head coach Joanne Boyle earned the 100th victory of her Cal career in a 80-71 victory over the Long Beach State 49ers Monday night, Dec. 21, in Long Beach.
Cal took over the game in the first half, pressuring the 49ers into five turnovers in a span of 2:21 midway through the period. The Bears were converting the opportunities on the other end. Led by 12 first half points by freshman Layshia Clarendon, Cal took a 36-26 lead into the locker room at the break.
In the second half, Long Beach State hung in the game, pulling within five, 47-42, with 11:45 left in the half when senior guard Natasha Vital drained a three-pointer to give Cal some breathing room.Back-to-back three-pointers by DeNesha Stallworth and Clarendon put the Bears up by 12, 62-50, with eight minutes remaining. The 49ers clawed their way back into the game at the freethrow line, making 16-of-17 from the charity stripe, with all but two of those coming in the second half.
Cal, playing with just eight players, had both of their posts playing with four fouls with six and a half minutes remaining in the half. Despite being shorthanded and burdened by foul trouble, Cal managed to hold on for their fifth victory of the year, improving to 5-4.
Clarendon, a Southern California native from nearby San Bernardino, had a breakout game, leading the Bears with 21 points, the most in a single game in her young collegiate career. It was just the third time this season a Bear player had scored more than 20 points in a game, with Alexis Gray-Lawson having a pair of 20+ point performances this season. Clarendon also had six assists, the most in a single game this season by any Bear player.
"First, I want to give credit to Lexi (Alexis Gray-Lawson)," said Clarendon. "Her commanding that box-and-one opened things up for all of us so much more. If she wasn't doing that, I wouldn't have gotten all of those open looks. Someone had to make the shots. It just happened to be me tonight."
Stallworth scored 19 points, tying her collegiate career high. Vital matched her season high with 17 points. Talia Caldwell posted the first double-double of her career with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
The victory was the 100th in the Cal career of head coach Joanne Boyle. Boyle becomes just the second coach in Cal history to achieve triple digit wins with the Bears. Boyle has a career record of 100-39 in her four plus seasons with the Bears. Her overall career record, including her three seasons with Richmond, improves to 167-68.
"Wins like that come because of the team," said Boyle when asked about her 100th win. "The staff prepares, we try to do our job. And the kids have to go out and play. Coming off of a tough loss, it was great to see them play with heart. For me, it was seeing how much passion they were going to play with tonight, how much heart. And they did that tonight."
Cal will take a short break for Christmas before heading back to Southern California to compete in the Surf 'n Slam Tournament in San Diego. They open the tournament on Dec. 28 when they take on Boston College at 8 p.m. Live audio of the game will be streamed on CalBears. com.

I didn't quite see this coming . But i thought there would be some big changes at the end of the season.
I almost posted after the last race that Haslam will be riding for Alstare if they return next season. But as someone suggested on here Kawasaki is a big possibility . I couldn't understand why Haslam all of a sudden couldn't ride the BMW quick. And Melandri was kicking his **** . Well now its all crystal clear.Again like others have stated this is a typical BMW move. I'm not a Biaggi fan but i will be hoping he takes the title and denies Melandri. Some might call my comments sour grapes but it stinks at BMW.

A couple years ago, I bought a santa suit. On Christmas day last year, I put on the suit, loaded up my bike, and had my wife drive me to the nearest town (we live in a rural area). I cycled around town, handing out candy canes. It was a blast! Never had so many cell phone cameras pointed at me in my life. It was fun seeing all the smiling faces. One lady stopped me, asked if she could take my photo. She asked, "So, did you loose a bet or something?". Told her, no, that I just enjoyed cycling. The she introduced herself, a reporter from a local paper. My photo was on the front page of the next day's edition.
Was especially fun, riding in residential areas. Lots of kids came running out to see santa. Mom's grabbed their cameras for photos of their kids with santa.
Was memorable experience. Weather permitting, I'm planning to do it again this year. But this time, I'll buy more than 4 dozen candy canes. They didn't last long.
