The Society has spent considerable time assessing the application and all the supporting documents. It has tried to concentrate on the items that are to be permitted rather than those which are to be reserved matters to be the subject of future determination.
The main comments and objections therefore relate to the works to M27 Junction 10, the three roundabouts and the related works to the A32, and the impacts of these works. Most of the other items listed in the description of the proposal are simply the components of Welborne included in the adopted local plan and comments are only made where there appears to be a significant diversion from the adopted plan or the proposals are unacceptable . Comments have also been made on the Parameter Plans because they are to be 'bound to the outline' by a condition saying reserved matters would be 'broadly compliant'. We have also commented on the supporting information which should justify the proposals.
The comments that have been received from the various statutory consultees and other organisations clearly demonstrate that the application as submitted is deficient in many respects and cannot be permitted without significant revision and improved and updated supporting information. The Society has assumed that when the necessary revisions are made, and new supporting information submitted, a further consultation will be carried out.
The Society is pleased that some of the information it has been seeking for many years, particularly up to date information on traffic using the local roads, has now been provided. However even this is incomplete and in many other aspects the application provides little if any additional information than that included in the adopted Welborne Plan.
The inadequacies of the current application need to be addressed by the applicant and the Borough Council. The location and constraints of the Welborne site were always going to lead to problems at the detailed planning stage and this will be experienced by whoever develops the site.
The Society has consistently objected to the changes to Junction 10 because of the impact of the increased traffic generated on the residents of North Fareham, Funtley, Wickham and other settlements on the A32 to the north. When the M27 was designed in the early 1970s, concern about traffic impact on these areas was the reason for the current limited moves junction.
The combination of the revisions to Junction 10 with the additional traffic generated by the Welborne development could have a significantly greater adverse impact on the locality. The adopted Welborne Plan relies on various measures to try to mitigate this impact and the information submitted with the application is the first time that specific measures have been set out and their likely impact quantified in the Transport Assessment.
It is clear that the transport modelling that has been used, the SRTM, is not in compliance with the Government guidance. In 2014, the Solent Transport Joint Committee agreed an upgrade of the SRTM because by 2015 it would be based on data that is at least five years old with some of the survey data used in matrix development being six or seven years old. The report to the Joint Committee referred to the Government WebTAG guidance which suggests that models should not be based on data over six years old (TAG Unit M3.1 Paragraph 8.1.1). It also referred to updating the planning assumptions of the evidence in the light of progress on local plans.
up-to-date is unlikely to be suitable for the modelling of local impacts of measures such such as the traffic management measures proposed.
identification of Welborne as a strategic site for development. The design of the new M27 Junction 10 does not improve the existing substandard weaving distances between Junctions 10 and 11.
The impact of increased traffic generated by Welborne and the changes to M27 Junction 10 is of great concern to local residents. This impact, and the ease of vehicular access for the residents of north Fareham in particular, especially those living in or using North Hill, Old Turnpike, Kiln Road, Park Lane and Wickham Road should be clearly spelt out at this stage. (The deterring of vehicular traffic from using the North Hill route for access to their homes is suggested. What is an alternative route for residents, other than through nearby residential roads?) Unfortunately, this information is not easily accessible in the vast amount of information in the Transport Assessment, and when it is found it is not credible.
existing pavements in Wickham Road. Many roads will experience an unacceptable increase in traffic with the resulting increase in noise, vibration and deterioration in air quality.
N.B: It is assumed that there will be restrictions on the use of these roads by construction traffic and that these restrictions will be rigorously enforced.
The 2016 traffic counts provide up-to-date information for use as a base for estimating the impact of Welborne and the changes to M27 Junction 10. However, there are several gaps in the 2016 data, particularly in relation to the junctions of Old Turnpike and Serpentine Road with Wickham Road and the junction of Serpentine Road with Park Lane. There is also no information on traffic in High Street and Osborne Road: how is it possible to provide realistic estimates on the future flows on these roads without up-to-date base information?
The future estimates for the local roads appear to result in some figures which defy rational explanation. For example, why would traffic flows in Broadcut be reduced to less than half the current flows in 2036 with or without Welborne? In particular, why would the turns from Wallington Way westbound into Broadcut be more than halved? There are many more examples like this: perhaps the most extreme is the estimated change in flows A27 East to A27 West where the figures show flows increasing from 9 in 2016 to over 1,700 in 2036 with or without Welborne.
In relation to Wickham Road south of the Southampton Road junction, the absence of 2016 figures for the Wickham Road, High Street, Osborne Road junction makes understanding difficult. It appears that the increase in traffic flows is of the order of 250% to 350% and much turns into or from Osborne Road. Where is this traffic coming from and where is it going?
It appears that the use of the SRTM for modelling these local roads results in these irrational figures, possibly because the part of the model which determines the routes taken by vehicles through the road network has not been informed by detailed understanding of the way in which the local roads are used.
The road system within Welborne results in too much traffic being directed through what should be primarily residential roads. The supporting information shows that this is largely due to the attempt to reduce traffic on the A32 and thereby reduce the separation of the areas of housing to the east from the main part of Welborne to the west of the A32. However, this results in two busy roads separating parts of Welborne rather than one. The intention to reduce the flows of traffic on the A32 between the north roundabout and the south (Meadow) roundabout results in an excessive volume of traffic on Welborne Way.
The extension of the boundary to the north of Albany Farm is unacceptable as it intrudes into a countryside area beyond the boundaries of the Welborne Plan strategic development area. The allotments should be sited more centrally for the benefit of the community.
Deviations from the Strategic Framework Diagram in the adopted Welborne Plan result in the submitted outline application being unacceptable, particularly in relation to the district centre, schools, sports pitches, allotments, landscape buffers/greenspace (which also covers the setting of the historic buildings) and the primary road network.
The Society objected to the siting of the District Centre adjoining the A32 because its location and phasing would result in an out of town shopping 'destination' not a true District Centre. The Society stated that the District Centre should be located towards the centre of the site; the location which the Sustainability Appraisal demonstrated is by far the most sustainable.
The Land Use Plan and the Design and Access Statement, which provides more detailed information on the District Centre, show that The Society's objections were fully justified. The centre is not well connected to the main residential parts of Welborne and appears to be located so that it will attract as much custom from outside Welborne as possible. The application proposals appear to show the High Street as a potentially busy road which is contrary to the Welborne Plan Strategic Framework Diagram and would result in an unattractive centre.
The location of the proposed schools adjacent to the main distributor roads within the development is unsatisfactory and will result in unacceptable congestion and air quality impacts. The Design and Access Statement, which provides more detailed information, on page 123 shows the District Centre primary school with busy roads on three sides and is totally unacceptable.
Densities, building heights, land use, green infrastructure and sequencing are all identified on the respective Parameter Plans. These may well require significant alteration at the Reserved Matters stage so should not be approved in principle as part of this application.
The height of buildings in the district centre close to the Grade II* listed Dean Farm should be reduced to avoid a significant adverse impact on the listed building. The deviation from the Strategic Framework Diagram of the adopted plan has caused an unacceptable situation re the setting of Dean Farm and has also removed the generous landscaping buffer protecting the boundaries of Roche Court. This should be reinstated.
Deviations concerning green infrastructure from the Strategic Framework Diagram have already been mentioned. The location of the sports pitches immediately to the north of the M27 is undesirable because of the poor air quality and noise.
Inadequate provision for open space and SANGs is shown. Dashwood, outside the application boundary, is not within the Borough, is a SINC and is not suitable for intense recreational use. A smaller proportion of Dashwood should be considered to form part of the overall SANGs provision. SANGs are intended to provide adequate land for dogs to be walked off the lead. If Dashwood is to retain its nature conservation interest and SINC designation in the long term, the area for open access for dogs should be reduced.
As already referred to, a belt of semi-natural green space should be provided between Roche Court and any adjoining housing in order to retain the setting of the listed building and the historic parkland.
It is also essential that a wide planting belt should be provided on the eastern boundary of the housing land east of the A32 to reduce impact on the countryside and views from Portsdown Hill.
Sequence 2, 2022/23-2025/26 in the Planning Statement. The Retail Assessment is based on it being complete in 2029, that is sequence 3. Which is it?
10,000sqm being completed in 2023. By which time only 1,160 'households' completed. However, these houses will mainly be remote from the District Centre and will be served by the Village Centre. This would result in a much more significant impact on Fareham Town Centre than the retail study identifies.
If Welborne is to be as self-contained as far as possible a health centre/GP surgery should be provided as early as possible. The current phasing, provision in 2022-2024 may be as early as possible, but it does not appear to be supported by the relevant CCGs at the present time. These comments have been submitted by the CCG following the approval of the Welborne Plan. It is absolutely essential that the health provision at Welborne is confirmed before any permissions are granted. The CCG is treating Welborne as an urban extension of Fareham and not as a sustainable stand-alone 'urban village or town' which would definitely have its own health facilities identified.
As stated above the SRTM is inadequate for traffic and therefore air quality forecasting. A new run, using the updated SRTM due to be completed in May 2017, is required. The appropriateness of the updated SRTM should be subjected to local validation checks before it is used for the modelling of traffic on the local roads.
Whilst three primary and a secondary school are proposed, there is no evidence that they will be provided as currently phased. It appears that HCC is seeking school contributions approximately one third higher than the figures in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
Reference has already been made concerning healthcare facilities for which there appears to be no commitment from the relevant health authorities to staff them.
The Flood Risk Assessment contains insufficient information to demonstrate that there will be no increased risk of flooding. It is noted that the Lead Local Flood Authority, the County Council, is concerned that the development may have an adverse impact on surface water drainage and overland flows and is not currently satisfied that this impact can be satisfactorily mitigated.
The Society recognises that the impact of the Welborne proposals on the Grade II* Dean Farm is to be mitigated at the detailed design stage; however it does not believe that satisfactory mitigation could be achieved with the demolition of the adjoining farm outbuildings and the relocated barn. The proposed 16.5m high residential buildings to the north and west, the proposed 12m high employment buildings to the east, and the proximity of what will be a very busy dual-carriageway, arise from the deviations from the approved Welborne Plan causing the potentially unacceptable downgrading of the setting of the farm.
The Society fully supports the recommendations of the County Archaeologist re the provisions of the Heritage Strategy and Management Plan. It is hoped that Fareham Borough Council is equally supportive.
The inadequacies of the current application underline The Society's belief that this is the wrong location for such a large development: it is too close to the existing communities and the M27, there are numerous constraints, and the limited extent of the land suitable for development is inadequate to accommodate all of the desired components of a new community (Garden Village/Town).
•The design of the new M27 junction 10 does not improve the existing substandard weaving distances between junctions 10 and 11.
•It has not been demonstrated that 6,000 dwellings together with the necessary infrastructure can be accommodated within the application boundary.
•Deviations from the Strategic Framework Diagram in the adopted Welborne Plan result in the submitted outline application being unacceptable, particularly in relation to the district centre, schools, sports pitches, allotments, landscape buffers/greenspace (which also covers the setting of the historic buildings) and the primary road network.
•It has not been demonstrated that the development proposed could take place without significant adverse impacts on local residents of the surrounding residential areas and villages, through additional traffic congestion and the consequential air quality impact and vibration.
•It has not been demonstrated that the development proposed could take place without the risk of flooding on parts of the site and the A32 or increasing the risk of flooding on the rivers Wallington and Meon.
•It has not been demonstrated that waste water can be dealt with without risk to surface and ground water, see Environment Agency comments.
•The application makes inadequate provision for open space, sports pitches, SANGs and insufficient contributions towards the Solent Recreation Mitigation Partnership.
•The phasing of the District Centre which could result in the construction of another out of centre retail destination with a consequential significant adverse impact on Fareham Town Centre.

Polio awareness campaign on Etihad Airways flights to Pakistan
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is supporting a campaign to raise awareness of the polio virus and vaccination efforts in the Pakistani community.
Through a short inflight video, to be shown prior to arrival on all Etihad Airways' flights into Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar and Karachi, the campaign aims to make Pakistanis aware of the potential risk of the polio virus for them and their families. Pakistan is one of the few countries where the disease remains endemic.
The inflight program, "Leap of Faith", will raise awareness of this crippling and potentially fatal disease to the many thousands of Pakistani workers returning home or visiting their families.
The vaccination campaign, which aims to reach over 3.5 million children in Pakistan, was launched by the UAE Pakistan Assistance Program under the directive of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and as part of an initiative of His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
This comes after His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan pledged a donation of AED440 million in April 2014, to support global efforts to eradicate polio by 2018.
James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: "By showing this engaging story onboard our flights, Etihad Airways is supporting the efforts of the UAE in helping to eradicate polio in Pakistan."
Asif Durrani, Pakistan Ambassador to the UAE, said "With approximately 1.25 million expatriate Pakistanis in the UAE, this is a perfect opportunity to educate our people during their journey home and ultimately help in the overall eradication of this terrible disease in our country."
The inflight program produced by Image Nation Abu Dhabi, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Media, will be aired on all Etihad Airways' flights to Pakistan for July and August 2014. The airline currently operates 37 flights per week between Abu Dhabi and the Pakistani cities of Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar and Karachi.

By making a donation to NYF directly from your IRA, you can reduce your taxable income while maximizing your support for the children of Nepal.
The Tax Cuts and Job Act went into effect on January 1, 2018, increasing the amount of standardized deductions for taxpayers. If you are among the predicted 90% of individual taxpayers who will no longer itemize your deductions, one important option not affected by the new law remains – Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs).
Those 70.5 or older can make a direct transfer of IRA balances up to $100,000 per year to a charity. Doing this satisfies some or all of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from tax-deferred retirement accounts, and maximizes your donation because the amount is not reduced by taxes. Among the important requirements: 1) The donation must come directly from your tax-deferred (sheltered) account to the charity (not from you), and 2) You cannot also deduct your charitable donation if you are itemizing deductions.
Please speak with your financial advisor to see if this option is a good fit for you!
To discuss how you can support impoverished children in Nepal, please call NYF at (415) 331-8585 or email julie@nepalyouthfoundation.org.

Safe A19 campaign: What our petition is and how you can get involved
More than 2,000 people have backed our calls for action on the A19 - and we want you to get involved.
Thursday, 11th October 2018, 10:27 am
Updated Thursday, 11th October 2018, 10:28 am
Have you backed our Safe A19 campaign?
The Sunderland Echo, Shields Gazette and Hartlepool Mail last year launched a campaign calling on the Government to carry out an inquiry into safety on the A19.
Backed by Grahame Morris MP, who stands for Easington, our petition's aim is to get the Department of Transport to look at the road and its issues, and take action to protect our region and its people.
More than 2,000 people have signed our petition.
Read more: Find out how you back our campaign for a safer A19
Delays rocked the region yesterday after a five-car crash on the A19 at Seaham, which closed the road for a number of hours.
Some drivers involved in the collision suffered minor injuries - and the incident reignited the urgency for action on the route, between Wolviston and Boldon.
Related content: Drivers suffer injuries in five-car crash which closed A19
Since our campaign's launch, Mr Morris has continued to press for answers from Parliament over what's to be done on the road.
On the one-year anniversary of our campaign's launch, the MP slammed transport chiefs for not addressing the dangers raised. He then renewed calls for a safety review into the route.
He also said he was not willing to accept that driver error is solely responsible for collisions.
In a previous online poll, readers expressed an interest in seeing extra lanes added to the road. Others wanted to see improvements to junctions and slip roads, as well as average speed cameras.
Related content: Campaign calls for Government inquiry into A19 safety after spate of crashes
Some backed a change in speed limit.
Speaking one year on from the petition's launch, Mr Morris added: "We're still seeing delays collisions. The A19 remains an accident black spot.
"The Safe A19 campaign should continue until action is taken to reduce the regular accidents that cause delays and disruption for residents and businesses."

When I was a child, my parents always answered a question with an answer that led to another question. So early on, I learned to just keep asking questions. It drove my teachers nuts (don't get me started on education!) and drives my husband nuts (like that's the only reason!). Just to bug my husband further, I've taught our kids to do the same thing! Despite this annoying habit, it's served me pretty well in my career, learning a lot (much of which I can't remember) along the way.

Q: Dynamically create Angular animations I am creating a paging component that slides to next or previous fullscreen page. Because issues with different browsers and devices I have abandoned just using CSS transitions for now. I have a working angular animate solution but the new problem is that it doesn't scale.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { animate, state, style, transition, trigger } from '@angular/animations';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
  animations: [
    trigger('slideTransition', [
      state('firstPage', style({ transform: 'translateX(0)' })),
      state('secondPage', style({ transform: 'translateX(-100%)' })),
      transition('firstPage=>secondPage', animate('0.6s ease')),
      transition('secondPage=>firstPage', animate('0.6s ease'))
  ])]
})
export class AppComponent {

  state = 'firstPage';

  nextPage() {
    this.state = 'secondPage';
  }

  previousPage() {
    this.state = 'firstShowing';
  }

}

The problem is, as you see, when I have for example 9 pages. I do not want to define 9 states and 18 transitions. How can I do reusable states or generate the states and transitions runtime based on the number of pages? Any ideas?
The template would look something like this

Page 1

clickity

Page 2

clackity

A: What you need is sending params to the state. This is possible by adding a class member and keep updating it depending on your page number. Then wire that in your HTML.
Now the following is potential additions to your existing code:
animations: [
  trigger('slideTransition', [
    // ...
    state('*',
          style({ marginLeft: '{{pageMarginValue}}%' }),
          {params: {pageMarginValue: 0}}),
    transition('*=>*', animate('0.6s ease')),
    // ...
])

]
Then add this to your class:
export class AppComponent {
  // ...
  private currentMargin = 0;
  private step = 10; // replace with actual value

  next(): void { this.currentMargin += this.step; }
  previous(): void { this.currentMargin -= this.step; }

  // ...
}

In your HTML, pass the currentMargin like so:

A: I have now found a possible solution. Though because I am using margin-left for the transition the performance isn't as good as it should be.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { animate, state, style, transition, trigger } from '@angular/animations';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
  animations: [
    trigger('slideTransition', [
      state('previous', style({ marginLeft: '-100%', display: 'none' })),
      state('current', style({ marginLeft: '0' })),
      state('next', style({ display: 'none' })),
      transition('current=>previous', animate('0.6s ease')),
      transition('current=>next', animate('0.6s ease')),
      transition('next=>current', animate('0.6s ease')),
      transition('previous=>current', animate('0.6s ease'))
    ])
  ]
})
export class AppComponent {

  state = ['current', 'next', 'next'];
  current = 0;

  next() {
    this.current = this.current + 1;
    this.updateState();
  }

  previous() {
    this.current = this.current - 1;
    this.updateState();
  }

  private updateState() {
    for (let i = 0; i < this.state.length; i++) {
      if (i < this.current) {
        this.state[i] = 'previous';
      } else if (i === this.current) {
        this.state[i] = 'current';
      } else {
        this.state[i] = 'next';
      }
    }
  }
}

My December
You'd think I'd let 2009 slip away without an entry for December, eh? With everything that went on throughout the year, I actually took a very long overdue break from everything during the whole month of December in my bid to fix the most difficult thing I've ever had to fix, i.e. myself. Rather than trying to find myself by going elsewhere, I actually did the opposite by going nowhere and did absolutely nothing but daily errands and reconnecting with people that matter, i.e. family and friends. I won't bore you with details of it but I'm thankful that I did manage to find that clarity I needed to get in touch with myself again (although I still remain untouched by anyone else). There was also a discovery of purpose that I really want to take further steps on but that's just tempting fate at this point in time. Trying to remind myself that good things do come to those who wait, though I don't think I want to wait too long that I'll miss the boat altogether now.
And so in just a few hours, 2010 will be upon us. You may go, 2009. I forgive you. I want to move on.
Given An Hour To Live, An Hour To Love...
So, just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get,
So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

Now With Added Twitter Goodness!
There are times when I feel guilty for not updating this weblog as often as I do those status updates on Facebook or Twitter. It's one thing stringing a few words together into a concise sentence that doesn't exceed the 140 character limit and one whole other thing putting together a few sentences into something meaningful and worthy enough for the reader to spend a few non-refundable minutes of his or her life reading it.
So being the geek I am, I quickly knocked up a piece of code to grab the last few updates from my Twitter account and have it displayed on the main page of this website. I initially toyed around with some of those ready-made Twitter widgets that you can just copy and paste the code over but the end result of it just made it seem so aesthetically wrong that it would've given the website self-esteem issues already with Twitter being on its turf. Besides, real geeks code, others rely on plug-ins.
With that out of the way, I'm gonna be sorting out MY own issues now.
The 2010 Phuturestudio PC
The PC I built back in 2005 that I've been using as my home studio computer died on me a couple of months back. It has served me well. With the motherboard dead, it meant that I had to gut out and perform a transplant on major parts of the machine. Looked up the Arstechnica's System Guide for Budget Box and ended up with the following:
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard
Intel Core2Quad Q8400 CPU
4x 2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 RAM (that's 8GB RAM yo!)
ATI Radeon HD4850 graphics card
It's not really orgasm inducing or top of the line by today's standards for sure but at just slightly over RM1,500 it's beefy enough to run my favorite piece of software on top of the usual everyday computing stuff for the next few years. Hopefully the 64-bit Windows 7 OS that I'll be using for this machine will restore my trust in Microsoft and make the money spent for a properly licensed copy worth it after the horrible wreck that was Vista.
It's Just A Phone
I got a few distressed reactions over the last entry on my cracked iPhone. It's quite amazing how much cardiac arrest you can induce onto other people just by showing it in the flesh. So much so that I started doing that for grins and giggles. No one died though. (Damn!)
Which brings me to this point: Folks, it's just a phone! Albeit an expensive phone but still, IT'S JUST A PHONE! I'm not saying this out of denial just to comfort myself because when you think about it, one day twenty years from now, I'll probably have kids who will wreck things that are far bigger and more expensive. So in the larger scheme of things, getting my iPhone cracked ain't that bad.
And just so you know, I got the front panel fixed already over the weekend. I want to give props and shoutout to the CSL guys at The Mines who got it fixed at a fraction of the price and time that Maxis quoted (1/3 of the price and in a day and a half to be exact). Sure, my iPhone is void of its original warranty, but at least I didn't have to wait that long to get my phone back.
Too bad, Maxis. But you seem to be just another phone company who couldn't care less about your own customers.
The Cracked iPhone
You might want to sit down for this. In fact, if you can't stomach the sight of a damaged piece of expensive electronics, you might want to skip this entry altogether.
My bad week last week culminated in my iPhone getting cracked. When I say crack, I don't mean it in the jailbreak sense. Take a look for yourself. You have been warned.
Please don't ask me how it happened. I just wished they'd make these things less fragile than a freshly circumcised penis in the first place. The fact that Maxis wants to charge a repair fee of RM1,050 with a MINIMUM waiting time of a month and a half just rubs it further. The stuff still works fine though. But instead of having your fingers glide over the glass surface like a baby's bottom, it now feels like you're navigating around granny's wrinkled ass that might just make a lot of mess if you apply too much pressure.
I think I know what a heart attack feels like now.
Mamma Mia Love Story
Ever since I first heard Taylor Swift's Love Story, my mind just can't help going off on ABBA's Mamma Mia right after the chorus and it's been bugging me since. I suppose that's what happens to you when you grow up during ABBA's era (can somebody say therapy?). So after managing to source for the respective instrumental and acapella tracks, I managed to put this mash together. I used Mamma Mia from Mamma Mia: The Movie Soundtrack sung by Meryl Streep instead for this one. It's nowhere as epic as John Schmidt's Love Story Meets Vida La Vida (which he has since pulled down from his site due to clearance issues) but if you can imagine Taylor Swift and a bunch of pixies tippy-toeing on the meadow in spring to this song in a music video, I think it's almost there.
Oh, by the way, Taylor, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish... but ABBA had the best track of all time!

I'm Not A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Jail!
In a break from the crazy normalcy that I've been having, I had to make a court appearance this morning for not having enough cash to bribe the cop a traffic violation a couple of weeks back. So I pleaded guilty to the charge and lo and behold. I did not have enough cash to pay for the summons at the court. The next 30 minutes was probably the most exciting thing that has happened to me on a Monday: I got temporarily locked up in a cell before Shazee bailed me out. I want to feel all gangsta about it but then I remembered Nicole Richie spending 83 minutes behind bars and Khloe Kardashian got locked up for 173 minutes so my time behind bars pales in comparison to theirs. Heck, even the biggest nerd on the planet, Bill Gates was behind bars for a couple of hours before being bailed.
On the other hand, I'm happy to report that I'm still a virgin after my 30 minute ordeal but sad at the same time because I still haven't gotten laid at this age.
Here's To The Crazy Ones
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Happy 52nd Merdeka Day, Malaysia!

Body-Shock's 2000 slice Full Moon is our next special Bonzai Classics remix and at the helm this time we've got Freaked Frequency & The Digital Enzyme with an absolute gem of a track firmly rooted in the psy arena. Bjorn Wendelen (DJ Ghost) and Laurent Veronnez (L-Vee) formed Body-Shock in 2000 and their first release – Sleepless – had this superb effort as the B-side. Full Moon quickly became a trance anthem in the super club era and was notably included on John 00 Fleming's For Your Ears Only 3 x vinyl compilation. After several releases Yves Deruyter came on board to continue a string of top club hits that are still very much at the heart of classic nostalgia sets. The Body-Shock sound never disappoints, it derives intensity and that feeling of full on, non-stop thumping music.

Coming Zune: Microsoft Unveils New MP3 Player
by Laurie Petersen , September 15, 2006
Microsoft is playing up the notion of connected entertainment and music sharing with its new Zune wireless MP3 player, officially unveiled Thursday.
The music player's Wi-Fi capabilities allow people to share full-length sample tracks of their favorite playlist from wherever they are. Those users can listen to a shared song three times over three days before deciding whether to buy it. Pictures can also be shared.
The device, which is being manufactured by Toshiba, may be the best last chance for the Redmond, WA-based behemoth to wrest any vestige of cool from Apple, which mounted an elaborate event dubbed "It's Showtime!" earlier this week.
Zune is expected to be available for the holiday season. A suggested price was noticeably absent from Microsoft's announcement. A debut of $299 was widely anticipated before Apple's news of a new entry-level iPod, carrying a $249 price tag.
A Zune Marketplace, competing with Apple's online iTunes store, will be available shortly. Microsoft said users will be able to buy individual songs, or purchase a subscription to listen to unlimited tracks at a flat fee. Each Zune will come preloaded with music from DTS, EMI Music's Astralwerks Records and Virgin Records, Ninja Tune and others.
Accessories will allow the user to use Zune from car, home, or the road.
In an interview published earlier this week, J. Allard, the 37-year-old Microsoft legend behind Zune, said customer focus and "tomorrow's content, not yesterday's content" are at the forefront of his Zune strategy. "We're just starting out. We're the independent label," he told Seattle Weekly. "Never mind that the company is ginormous. In the music space, we're nobody."

1982 Hamilton Award
Awards / Annual Awards / "Jimmie" Hamilton Award / 1982 Hamilton Award
Dr. James V. Jolliff and Dr. David L. Green
The bases for selection were the professionalism of subject matter, depth of treatment, the importance of the paper's technical contribution, its lasting value to the naval engineering profession, the individual effort involved in its presentation, and the clarity of composition, style, and manner of presentation. Dr. Jolliff and Dr. Greene's paper "Advanced Integrated Electric Propulsion — A Reality of the Eighties" in the April 1982 issue of the Naval Engineers Journal, is a major contribution to the literature in the field of naval engineering. It not only meets all the selection criteria, but, more importantly, represents a technical contribution to the profession which is of the highest quality, marking the Authors as worthy for technical recognition by this Society and their peers.
At a time when innovations are proposed at an ever increasing rate but few are investigated to any depth, this paper presents engineering results from a detailed technical assessment of electric drive for main propulsion of ships. The data provided in the paper is a "bench mark" for electric drive. Physical sizing is illustrated and dynamic simulation of the system operation in the most demanding manuevers is presented. Areas of risk and development are thoroughly discussed.
In this fine paper, Dr. Jolliff and Dr. Greene have shown the state of the art of electric drive and have provided a sound basis for application. Advanced electric drive has the potential to contribute greatly to ship survivability, arrangement versatility, and operational flexibility. Towards this end, the Authors have made a valuable and lasting contribution to the naval engineering profession and to the literature and are worthy to receive the 1982 "Jimmie" Hamilton Award.
