Amit grew up engrained in his father's family business and was expected to have the same intellect and entrepreneurial spirit, but this was not the case. Instead, he managed to scrape his way through university, achieving a BSc Hons degree in Computer Networking. Amit left the world of academia without knowing where he wanted his career to go until he reached a specific divine appointment which you can read about on this website.
Since then, Amit's career has had focus and motivation. He set up his own business from his bedroom as a global investor, transacting in technology, commodities, precious metals and finance.
Amit, who takes his faith very seriously, would not define himself solely as an entrepreneur but rather, first and foremost, a Son of the living God; holding a personal friendship with Jesus Christ. It has been through this relationship with God that he has developed the passion which drives him to help people in any walk of life. He mentors young men who aspire to be leaders and businessmen, whilst taking an active role in his church as a youth leader; facilitating the spiritual, emotional and physical growth of young adults aged between 13-18.
Amit is regularly sought out to help establish new visions for organisations, to analyse and transform current leadership structures and to build up new leaders in the next generation.
Amit has spoken over the last ten years to different types of audiences including TV, Radio, Churches and Conferences but really uses his huge online presence to get his message across. He has an impressive 190,000+ followers via twitter and thousands of registered users on this website who benefit from what he has to say.
Amit believes that what has happened in the past is irrelevant. He believes we have all been made by a unique God, for a unique time and a unique purpose and he is driven to help you realise and understand this!
His vision is to help people realise the uniqueness they have in their lives whilst caring for their physical, emotional, spiritual needs. The idea is to share God's plan on a regular basis with like-minded people then turn the vision into a reality.
The application of that is to help build bigger people and communities through physical provisions, praying, counselling and providing solutions to complex problems.
You can learn more about the vision in this short video...

Amit's vision for this section of the website is to bring an understanding of where we are going as a universe, with so many wars, earthquakes and disasters you may be questioning where is God in all of this and what does His Word say about it all?
The sense is to bring current news and link it to the Bible, specifically to what Daniel (who prophesied) said would happen in these days.
Here are some testimonials from people that have been touched by my Ministry.
"Having known Amit for over a decade, the striking feature of his character is the steadfast commitment to his vision, a foundation for his passion and inspiration to help people reconnect with GOD. He is leader with a clear perspective of the challenges and future orientation. His entrepreneurial spirit and passion to help others is the driving force behind his commitment to motivate young people to pursue and attain their vision whilst instilling a good work ethic."
- Dr Timothy Jackson
"It's a pleasure to work with Amit as part of the youth ministry in our church. He truly is an inspiration to teenagers we work with, especially the young males. He encourages, challenges and helps direct their path through the word of God. I'm truly blessed to have Amit as one of my youth leaders. He is also a personal friend of mine and know he has a genuine heart that loves the father. I fully support him in the vision he has to help others in any he can."
- Kate Kimona
"I can thoroughly recommend Amit Dattani, who I know personally. He is a committed, dedicated wholehearted Christian, with Jesus Christ at the centre of his life. There is no compromise in his lifestyle and he is fervent to teach that he has been taken out of this world's systems to breathe a new order of business morality, and he brooks no deviation from Christ's fundamental teachings. He is biblically based in all he does and has a clear directive from God to spread the unadulterated gospel of life."
- Rev Michael Carr
"Amit is a young man with a passion, a vision and a purpose. Most people live life as followers, Amit lives life as an initiator. He carries the spark, the catalyst and the moment, in the Holy Spirit.
He stirs, he provokes and he motivates to action and momentum. His ministry is releasing, building and leading. His heart is evangelistic and his lifestyle serving. He has an edge in God, that helps provoke others to find their place in God. He is willing to challenge the status quo in order to bring people higher, God closer, and Jesus stronger."
- Dr Liam Chapman
If you haven't heard these testimonies, stop everything and hear them. They will permanently alter your outlook on life. My prayer life moved away from "Lord, bless me here and bless me there," to "Souls, Souls, Souls for Jesus" Jesus came to save us from unspeakable doom, and your love for Him will grow once you hear what He saved us from.
"A kinder gentleman I have yet to meet, always has the appropriate words falling upon me when most needed. Thank you Mr. Dattani. Follow him on twitter for inspiring and motivational messages @dattaniamit"
- Zallin Petersen
"Your testimony is so inspiring for so many people, on so many levels. It gives hope to people in every corner of the world; it speaks volumes to how God relentlessly seeks out and pursues us. It reaffirms my faith and gives me hope that no one is lost. Our God is an awesome God and a miraculous one. I'm so thankful for you as a brother in Christ and as a light in this world."
- Aspyn Michele
"If you're looking for encouraging and challenging truth statements, you've come to the right place. Amit Dattani has a real love for people and will stand with you in prayer and support. With a strong prophetic edge on his life, I have no doubts you'll be blessed by his ministry. Keep going Amit and thank you!"
- Dipak Chandarana
"Praise the Lord... I am a witness to the healing anointing that rest upon Amit Dattani's life. He has prayed for me on several occasions, but I feel nudged to share two special miracles:
About two weeks ago, I awaken experiencing chest and throat pains without explanation. Amit just happen to call me and during our conversation he perceived that I was having discomforts. He received a word of knowledge and prayed for me. "Immediately", I was relieved of all pain and discomfort. And this condition has not returned. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!
On yesterday, I had another unexplained condition (lump) show up. Amit once again prayed and today I noticed that it has shrank to half its' original size and the pain has completely ceased! God has His hands upon you Amit and I encourage you to keep making yourself available to be used by our God! You are a blessing to the Body of Christ, so "keep on keeping on", in JESUS' name..."

Narayanan Krishnan: A Real-Life Hero
Photo: Akshaya Trust
I first heard of Narayanan Krishnan when Desi mentioned him in passing as one of the 2010 nominees for CNN Heroes--a rising star at an Indian five-star hotel's restaurant headed for a job in glamorous Switzerland, who one day just gave it all up to feed the old and the destitute and the hungry. The news that he cooked and served vegetarian meals was cherry on the icing.
I love stories like these and I ran to my computer to read more. The real heroes, to me, are not the rich, the successful and the famous but those who, in however small or big a way, work to make this world a better place. For the last few years India has been in the throes of massive change, and as the rich get richer, and the middle class grabs its share of the spoils, there is little attention or consideration for the poor who make up the largest share of the country's population but just do not have the tools to barely survive.
Think of this: more than 40 percent of India's population lives on less than $1.25 a day. There are no social safety nets for the poor-- no food stamps, no shelters, and no soup kitchens. You could be a two-year-old born in a family of eight other siblings and parents without work, or an 80-year-old man tossed out on the street by the children you thought would care for you, and you'd be on your own with nowhere to turn.
Narayanan had his revelation when he was visiting the temple town of Madurai in south India and saw an old man eating human waste. He started feeding the man and decided that was what he wanted to do. At 29, Krishnan has served more than 1.2 million meals through his nonprofit Akshaya Trust , which he set up in 2003. According to the CNN website, he feeds the homeless and destitute, mostly elderly people abandoned by their families and often abused.
Photo: Akshaya Trust
Here's more from CNN:
Krishnan's day begins at 4 a.m. He and his team cover nearly 125 miles in a donated van, routinely working in temperatures topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
He seeks out the homeless under bridges and in the nooks and crannies between the city's temples. The hot meals he delivers are simple, tasty vegetarian fare he personally prepares, packs and often hand-feeds to nearly 400 clients each day.
Krishnan carries a comb, scissors and razor and is trained in eight haircut styles that, along with a fresh shave, provide extra dignity to those he serves.
He says many of the homeless seldom know their names or origins, and none has the capacity to beg, ask for help or offer thanks. They may be paranoid and hostile because of their conditions, but Krishnan says this only steadies his resolve to offer help.
You can vote for Krishnan here.

Vaishali- thanks so much for posting this. It was heartwarming and restores your faith in humanity. I showed it to my husband, who is a bit of cynic when it comes to do-gooding because of all the negative things that take place in the world, he doesn't feel donating or voting makes a difference. Once I showed him this video, the first thing he said was "Where do we send money?" That is the first time I have ever heard him say that in regards to a cause. Thanks for brining this to my attention because I think my husband has found some hope in this world after all! Krishnan is def. a true hero and it is great his work, cause and people are in the limelight. This is love and beauty.

Your workspace is, ideally, an extension of your mind. We must remember the Einstein quote, "If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" At the same time, Thomas Leonard said, "Clarity affords focus." How do we reconcile these two into an optimized middle ground?

This is a picture of my father George (Gus) Gustafson, the sailor. He looks pretty young so my guess is that it was taken between 1942-45. It looks like he was at a USO club maybe. I have no idea where though. He was stateside for most of the war as a Aviation Machinist's Mate - Instructor. His duty stations were: Dearborn, Michigan, Dec '42 - Apr '43; Norman, Oklahoma, Apr '43 - Feb '45 and San Diego, CA, Feb '45 - May '45. He then was aboard the USS Savo Island (CVE78) from May '45 - Dec '45. He received a "Pacific Theatre" medal, so I assume that is where the ship was at the end of the war. Sadly my father passed away when I was 18, so although I remember him talking about his war years I don't really remember specifics. I am trying to do a military time-line with pictures, as a remembrance of my dad's service.
To me the picture looks like all the USO publicity photos of the war years. Does anyone recognize anyone in the picture? Please click on the written by line, if you're a member, to contact me with any information and/or ideas of how I could find out who the other people in the picture are and/or where and when it was taken. If you're not a member please leave a comment below.

The XBR8 Series features TRILUMINOS RGB Dynamic LED Backlight technology to deliver more accurate color reproduction and higher purity of colors. Combined with local dimming technology, you'll notice brighter whites and deeper blacks with astonishing depth and extraordinary shadow detail.
With Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920x1080), this HDTV lets you take full advantage of HD sources such as Blu-ray Disc players and PLAYSTATION®3 systems that can deliver 1080p content.
Enjoy a more fluid, natural and realistic viewing experience while watching fast-action sports and movies. Motionflow 120Hz PRO technology enhances sharpness and delivers smooth motion for fast-action pictures. Sequential scanning technology further improves picture clarity by reducing image lag.
Experience a supremely sharp, crystal clear image from any video resolution with BRAVIA Engine® 2 PRO. It's Sony's most advanced video processing system optimizing standard definition and high definition to maximize contrast, color and brightness and motion while reducing noise.
For more than 10 years, Sony has promoted the use of recycled plastics and has continued to reuse over 16,000 tons of plastic per year since 2006.
By combining a 10-bit processor and 10-bit panel, the BRAVIA XBR8 Series is able to display billions of colors. You'll also notice smoother color transitions and avoid a picture with a "paint by numbers" look.
Take the next step forward in HDTV technology with the KDL-55XBR8 BRAVIA® XBR® LCD flat panel HDTV. In addition to Full HD 1080p, this XBR-8 Series TV features TRILUMINOS® RGB Dynamic LED backlight which produces breathtaking images with enhanced color purity that result in deep blacks and bright whites with startling depth and exceptional shadow detail. You'll also see the difference with Motionflow™ 120Hz PRO technology which enhances motion and delivers a smoother and clearer picture. Your 1080p HD images will look more breathtaking than ever thanks to the BRAVIA Engine™ 2 PRO fully digital video processor. This XBR-8 Series TV has DMex™ functionality which lets you expand the capabilities of your HDTV by adding optional BRAVIA® Link modules (sold separately), plus it comes with plenty of connectivity options to connect your video sources.
16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920 x 1080) accepts any HDTV signal and renders it with optimum resolution.
Motionflow™ 120Hz PRO technology couples a high 120Hz frame rate with sequential scanning technology, which controls the backlight to horizontally divide frames and reduce visual flickering. The combination of high frame rate and sequential scanning significantly reduces source image blur and judder in film sources, HD content, broadcast movies, and primetime programming, and helps create smoother, more fluid motion for a natural and realistic viewing experience.
x.v.Color™ technology2 adopts the x.v.YCC international color standard to display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors than the existing RGB color standard.
DMex™ functionality expands your HDTV's capabilities by letting you connect optional BRAVIA® Link modules, including the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, BRAVIA DVD Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately)3.
DLNA® (Digital Living Network Alliance) compliance allows BRAVIA® XBR®8-Series HDTVs to access digital photos from DLNA-enabled PCs and other devices4.
Sony® has integrated the TV Guide® Interactive Program Guide into the exclusive Xross Media Bar™ user interface to deliver regularly updated program listings.
BRAVIA Engine™ 2 PRO is Sony's most advanced video processing system, utilizing the latest generation of Digital Reality Creation technology to render a supremely sharp, crystal clear image from any video resolution.
Live Color Creation™ technology utilizes special processing to refine colors and deliver a more realistic picture.
24p True Cinema™ mode enables you to enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) when viewed using a 24p capable output device, such as a Blu-ray Disc™ player.
BRAVIA® Sync capability allows you to control CEC-enabled components connected via HDMI™ input. Use your BRAVIA® HDTV remote control to play Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD movies, access home theater settings, and even operate compatible Handycam® camcorders with a convenient on-screen display6.
Xross Media Bar™ (XMB™) makes it simple and intuitive to navigate the television's menus, controls, and user settings.
BRAVIA® XBR®8-Series LCD HDTVs offers four HDMI™ inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) that transmit uncompressed digital video and multi-channel audio over one cable, as well as two HD component connections (1080/60p capable), giving you the flexibility you need to connect the latest video sources.
VESA® compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets, taking the guesswork out of selecting the proper hardware for hanging your TV on the wall.
TRILUMINOS® RGB LED backlight technology aligns individual clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce a significantly higher purity of primary colors than single white LED backlights, resulting in more accurate color reproduction. This clustered arrangement also allows the XBR®8 to adjust the brightness of the backlight in units of small blocks, so it can display deep blacks in one portion of the screen and bright whites in another, producing images with enhanced depth, three-dimensionality and exceptionally accurate shadow detail. And, because it uses LEDs rather than the fluorescent tubes found in many HDTVs, the TRILUMINOS® RGB Dynamic LED backlight also promises exceptionally long life.
The BRAVIA® XBR®8-Series HDTV combines a 10-bit processor and 10-bit panel to create and display billions of colors. Using both a 10-bit processor and 10-bit panel allows for 64 times the level of color expression in 8-bit panels, resulting in smoother color transitions and helping to avoid giving the picture a "paint-by-numbers" look.
Dynamic Video Noise Reduction adaptive technology analyzes the motion, sharpness, and brightness of each scene in real time to identify various types of noise and reduce unwanted artifacts without compromising the video signal.
The DIGITAL MEDIA PORT connection allows the use of an optional DIGITAL MEDIA PORT cradle to connect digital devices directly to your BRAVIA® HDTV.
Bring your photos to life and enjoy highly detailed, Full HD 1920x1080p images with the PhotoTV HD5 mode. PhotoTV HD fine tunes settings on your BRAVIA® XBR®8-Series HDTV, such as sharpness, gradation, and color to display images that more closely match the look of printed photographs.
Favorites and Photo Slideshow functions feature rich 3D graphics that make it easy and fun to quickly access video content and digital photos to share with family and friends.
RS-232C connectivity enables you to operate your BRAVIA® HDTV using home control and automation systems.

I just found my crappy old acer laptop, 1.5GHz Celeron M processor 1gig DDR2 Ram. From what I remember of this laptop was it kept freezing randomly. To get it working again all power needed to be cut then it would reboot but then would freeze again in a slightly shorter time.
Is this due to heat? I ask this as there seems to be no thermal paste in the chip at all. Or is it bad memory?

The bright side here is that wireless (LTE) is improving to a point that the cable companies will soon have REAL competition in nearly every market. They will have to offer something of value to keep customers...
You are assuming that LTE comes to my area sometime before I die. AT&T still only has EDGE in my area...no 3G or their "fake" 4G. Sprint in theory has 3G here (not completely sure I buy it...my phone seems SSSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW while using Sprint when I am out and about...and their only 4G (WiMax) in my state is quite a ways away in Grand Rapids. Not really sure about Verizon.
Of course, there is also the fact that I will have to sell my house in order to be able to pay for a wireless data connection that I use as my "primary" data connection. My Sprint phone (with built in WiFi hotspot) is on an unlimited plan, but supposedly if I "abuse" it, then they "do something" (not quite completely sure what that is). Both Verizon and AT&T tend to only offer unlimited plans in very limited circumstances these days...and otherwise just attach a vacuum cleaner to your wallet.

The musician, who is dating reality TV star Rob Kardashian, said that Beyoncé is her inspiration as she has successfully combined being a mom with her career.
The star told The Sun: "Beyoncé was, and she still is, such an inspiration. She's been in the game for so long you think she's older but she's only 30."
She added of her idol: "She's a superwoman with a career and a family. I hope one day I can do the same - baby in one arm, microphone in the other."
Ora is signed to Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation.
The singer also credits Gwen Stefani as another one of her icons, adding: "I love that woman. That's why I wear this red lipstick and have my hair blonde.
"I love her style and her music and the fact she is such a strong role model. And she mixes pop, punk and hip-hop - that's me."

Here is my spring batch config (relevant part) :
So this is just a job calling one step which is a tasklet.Code:<batch:job id="fakeJob" parent="simpleJob"> <batch:step id="fakeLongJobStep" parent="simpleStep"> <batch:tasklet ref="mytasklet" /> </batch:step> </batch:job>
What I want to do is to report the progress inisde the tasklet.
At first, I tried :
Then, from another thread (i.e another XHR request to my webapp), I ask for the current progress :Code:public class MyTasklet implements Tasklet { @Override public RepeatStatus execute(StepContribution contribution, ChunkContext chunkContext) throws Exception { JobExecution e = chunkContext.getStepContext().getStepExecution().getJobExecution(); for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { e.getExecutionContext().put("progress", i+"/100"); Thread.sleep(2000); //simulate heavy operation } } }
This always return null except when the job is finished (which then report 99/100)Code:public String readProgress(int executionId) { return jobExplorer.getJobExcution(executionId).getExecutionContext().get("progress"); }
From what I understand, this is logical since the JobExecution is NOT persisted during the execution of a step (only persisted after).
How can I do to track the progress ?
The first thing I tried was to inject JobRepository into my tasklet and call jobRepository.updateExecutionContext(jobExecution) .
I assume this does not work since the transaction is not commited (hence, other threads still do not see the progress).
So how can I do ? Should I use a TransactionTemplate for each heavy operation or something like that ?
Please, note that using the reader->writer paradigm is not possible in my case (ask details if you need to know why ).

Classification System for Diabetic Nephropathy May Advance Patient CarePosted: Sunday, February 28, 2010An international group of physicians has designed a categorization system for diabetic nephropathy (DN), the chief cause of kidney failure, according to a published article. The number of people with diabetes worldwide is 285 million and rising. The increasing incidence will result in more cases of DN, according to the authors. "[DN] is a complex condition with varying degrees of severity and varying effects on the kidneys," write Jan Anthonie Bruijn, MD, PhD, from Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands, and colleagues. "Unlike other kidney conditions, [DN] has no standard classification system." In 2006, experts from 16 universities formed an international team to develop a method for categorizing Type 1 and Type 2 DNs. Their goal was to differentiate associated lesions by prognostic severity in a standardized manner that could be easily translated into clinical practice around the world. The physician group separated DN into 4 classes, based on biopsy findings. They range from the least severe (class 1) to the most severe (class 4): * Class 1 -- glomerular basement membrane thickening: Biopsied material, which, under a light microscope, shows mild, nonspecific changes. No mesangial expansion, nodular increases in the mesangial matrix (Kimmelstiel-Wilson lesions), or global glomerulosclerosis of more than half of the glomeruli. The panel tested its DN categorization system in a pilot study. Five pathologists, working independently, assessed 25 biopsies, resulting in identical classifications in 18 cases. The overall outcome of the pilot was "satisfactory," according to the researchers, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.84. The classification system will help scientists discover more about the pathways of DN progression, and therefore improve patient care, the authors predict. They note that future research should focus on evaluating clinical results. "An important question for every histologic classification system is whether it is predictive of clinical outcome," the authors write. "We feel validation should be done in separate prospective studies, preferably including protocol biopsies of patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and clearly defined clinical end points."

Introducing phpOpenNOS
NOS is a dutch public broadcasting organization focussing mostly on news. Some months ago, NOS announced opening up their data by offering an API which would give access to (some of) their data. Today, the API is opened up to the public and developers who requested API keys will start receiving them. To make it easier for developers to use the API, I've developed a PHP5.3 library.

Tidal Flooding Hits Some Neighborhoods, Breaches Reported on Barrier Island
No rescues, however, and few reports of water intrusion into homes
The midday high tide Thursday caused water to overflow bulkheads in some Brick Township neighborhoods, but no one had to be rescued and there were few reports of water intruding into residential homes.
Some streets, but not all, in the Shore Acres neighborhood were under water, and bay water was overflowing the lagoon along Paul Jones Drive in that area. Most streets, however, remained passable.
It was a similar story in the Cherry Quay section, where many streets were under water, but generally passable.
In Seawood Harbor and off St. Lawrence Boulevard, there was no obvious flooding, though it was clear the neighborhood had seen some very minor tidal flooding earlier judging by a small amount of debris in the road.
Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis said the township prepared for potential rescues and manned fire houses with personnel ready to help, but rescue crews were not needed.
On the barrier island, personnel were evacuated around 1 a.m., Acropolis said.
There were several small breaches on the island, though most could be described as water overflowing dunes rather than a true breach. By 1:30 p.m. Thursday, all of the breaches had been repaired, Acropolis said.
The mayor credited the township's construction of a sand berm along the entirety of the Brick oceanfront with helping to prevent more serious setbacks, including the possibility of a true breach.
There were more serious breaches in Mantoloking, however, Acropolis said.
By 2 p.m. Thursday, 56 customers out of about 35,000 total in Brick were out of power, according to Jersey Central Power & Light.
The traffic light at the intersection of Route 70 and Brick Boulevard was not functioning, however police were directing traffic and there were no delays in the area.

Is it me? or is someone trying to tell us something? Time to leave the shore and head for higher ground. 2nd round of flooding in a week. I don't know about anyone else, but I live on the water, I love it, but I am LEAVING!

Hurricane Sandy was the perfect - and very unusual - combination of hurricane winds, a nor'easter, a full moon and high tide when it hit Ocean County. It caused loss of sand dunes and numerous buildings on the barrier island, tremendous sand build-up in the bays, and tons of debris in the bays - all of which has removed the protections we were used to. Rebuilding the dunes is a must - and they should consider dredging the bays too, expensive no doubt, but if they don't start remediation, there will be many boating accidents next summer as people smash into debris they can't see. The weather is the same as always for a Jersey winter but the result is different because of the damage caused by that b;&/h Sandy!

Vinny, part of the reason we're continuing to see flooding is because things are so damaged and so much beachfront was eroded. There also is an enormous amount of debris in the bay and lagoons, from what I've heard. That means the water level is sitting higher to begin with.

Karen, this isn't true. The water level isn't higher because of debris because at low tide the bay still empties, it's not a corked bottle. If it's higher it's because of wind direction or a breach at the ocean front.

Go where? Who is going to buy a house that floods every two weeks... so we should abandon our life savings instead of fixing the problems?
It is time to spend some of that Sandy money on rebuilding the dunes, breakers and other mechanisms of keeping our homes safe. For 35 years not one flood happened, so it can be made safe again...but it requires work.

You are right, plus other parts of the country are regularly hit with floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes - and even volcanic explosions (washington State 1980), so where is it that is totally safe? And while I'm asking, does anybody know if the thousands of people in New Orleans were required to spend $$$$ to raise their homes after one storm in decades? Or is it only the Jersey Shore that FEMA is imposing this requirement upon? What if you don't have $25000 above the FEMA grant? Then your insurance policy skyrockets, and if you can't pay that, your mortgage company pulls your mortgage. Doesn't seem fair when this storm has been named one in a millenium.... Guess the fed-backed insurance policies are just like the private ones - fine as long as you pay for decades with no claims, but one claim and you're out!

If Bay Head, Mantoloking, Brick, Toms River and Lavallette don't get necessary funding to properly build and stabilize dunes we will be in for another disaster like Sandy. All the snad that was placed remains less consolidated than before and most likely lacks any form of vegetation to further stabilize the dune. I hope ALL communities pull together to have meaningful discussions on future development and have plans to plant dunes as soon as the weather breaks this spring.
As a side note, CNN reported that the funding coming back to NJ is being held up by our favorite Congressman an Senators who are taking advantage to tie "pork projects" to a bill that was slated to refund NJ, NY and Conn. for disaster expenses. Looks like if this is true we won't see the funds for a long time.

You'll never see the funds....The election is over so there isn't any reason to care what happens to NJ....Until of course November 2014.....Then it's the Republicans fault.....I seem to remember O'Bama saying the F.E.M.A. was instructed by him to return all phone calls within 15 minutes, anyone still waiting????.....

Jennifer, which block in Seawood Harbor? I live there too...but being 1.5 hours away presently I have not gotten down there to check my home. Does anyone know if Toronto Drive flooded again today? I'm thinking of taking a day off tomorrow to go down and clean up again if it is necessary...

I feel for you all, including me who lost my home and office. I happen to be in a profession that will benefit from all this destruction...But as for me, I see the writing on the wall. I'm taking my losses and moving on. First Sandy, then last Friday, then yesterday. I'm done. This IS the new normal. Plus, with the new flood maps, EVERYONE (even new houses) who was conforming and above the flood elevation a month ago is now BELOW it. Does anyone know what that is going to do to your flood insurance policy??? How about $900 a month from what I hear. We are all in for a BIG hurting which none of us can do anything about. I don't know about you...but I'm getting the hell outa dodge!!!

So I see where towns are having property reassessed because of distruction. I trust with higher water levels, food zone elevations and poor dune protection that the land it's self is worth less than it was. It is not just about revaluing the buildings. Be honest if the land floods such you need to be up 6' above grade does that not effect land value?

The Macon County Committee of the Whole met Monday night, and the majority of discussion time was spent on security issues and improvements needed for local schools.
School officials have been meeting with local law enforcement and emergency management officials since the tragic school shooting in Sandy Hook, and have identified a number of areas needing immediate address.
One of the most urgent issues discussed is the school system's shortage of SROs (School Resource Officers). Macon County currently has three: Terry Atkins is at Macon County High School, Ira Meador at Red Boiling Springs School, and Brian Carter at Macon County Jr. High School. They Board of Education held a special called meeting over the holiday, approving the hire of two new SROs, one to cover Westside Elementary full-time, and the other to rotate between LES, Central, and and Fairlane.
Sheriff Mark Gammons has already begun rotating officers in at those locations, and a final decision on who will permanently fill them should be announced in the next few weeks. They will be funded by the school system and allocated from the Sheriffs' existing staff.
But at the Commissioners meeting, the need for two more officers was brought up. This would allow every school in Macon to have its own full-time officer.
Sheriff Gammons stated that if these additional two SRO's are approved by the County Commission that he would assign them as soon as possible but that doing so would seriously deplete his available officers for patrol, and he would have to quickly find replacement officers.
The Sheriff also stated that he does not have enough vehicles for these extra two officers at this time but that they could be provided in the near future when the planned new vehicles are bought this year. The outfitting of these two extra officers with weapons, vests, radios and other required gear and training including their salaries would incur an approximate cost of $43,000 through the end of this school year.
As every SRO must go through a certification training, the sheriff has reserved 4 to 5 slots at the law enforcement academy which starts in a month or two, just in case he cannot find certified officers to hire to replace the extra officers assigned to SRO positions at the various schools.
Other safety needs discussed:
*Classroom doors in all schools can only be locked from the outside. The doors need to be modified with new locking systems to permit locking from inside and outside. The approximate cost for this is $45,000 for the 350 to 400 doors, which need to be converted.
*The schools also need a more effective "lock down" alarm system which can be activated from areas other than the main office areas. This will allow a immediate notification when and if an emergency event occurs, warranting the immediate "locking down" of the schools. The projected cost of this is approximately $13,600.
*Six of our schools are in need of entry "containment areas" where persons entering the school can be buzzed in and interviewed and verified BEFORE they have access to the interior school areas… the projected cost for these areas are $7000 per area or about $42,000 total.
*There is an exterior walkway at one school which is used by students and faculty when moving from one class is another… this area needs to be enclosed for security at a roughly estimated cost of $150,000 to $230,000.
*Finally, there is one school which is in serious need of some additional surveillance cameras and fencing enclosures.
The County Commission approved a motion to immediately fund the two additional SRO officers through the end of this current school year. They also agreed to fund the changing of the classroom door locks contingent upon the school system coming up with the money needed to procure and install the enhanced "lock down" alarm system.
The remaining items will be considered and plans to implement will be reviewed in coming meetings.
In other business:
Budget amendments which we merely moving money line items to proper places (no additional expenditures) were approved for EMS, Landfill, Industrial Development/THDA and Public Safety Projects –E911.
Approved: A Resolution to apply for Community Development Block Grant for waterline improvements in the county, Resolution to Consolidate Emergency Dispatch for Macon County and Resolution to recognize MCHS Cheerleaders.
Sheriff had engineering report on economics of installing LED lighting systems for the Justice Center. The engineering study indicates that a cost savings of around $5300 dollars per year is possible if the current lighting is replaced with LED system for those lights which burn continuously. The total installation costs would run approximately $100,000 which could possibly be funded about 80% by grant monies. The Commissioners agreed to allow the engineering company to proceed with the grant request and review the details of the study for further consideration if the grant is approved.
Mayor Linville reported that a petition had been received from residents of Hicks Hollow Road requesting that a 25 MPH speed limit be posted. The Commissioners approved this request for final consideration by the Committee of the Whole.
EMS Director Kirby discussed the revisions of the Ambulance Regulations which were required to comply with the new aspects of the Federal Affordable Care Act in regards to the operation of private or nonprofit ambulance services within Macon County.
All elected officials were reminded that their State of Tennessee Ethics filings were due this month.

Flowers and smoke in my photos are metaphors to speak about eternity. In some people smoke may bring recollections of candles burnt at churches in prayers for the living or dead. Smoke symbolizes time – a brief moment and it has vanished.
It's only the fruit of the viewers' imagination. Like a child imagines a familiar silhouettes in shapes of clouds."

What is an Escrow?
An escrow is an arrangement on which a neutral third party, called an escrow holder, holds legal documentation and funds on behalf of a buyer and seller. The escrow agent works closely with you, your realtor and lender to assure that the sale conditions are complied within the time period called for in the Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions.
After all parties have executed these documents, escrow prepares an Addendum to the Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions. Escrow then distributes them according to the buyers and sellers instructions. Both the buyer and the seller rely on the escrow holder to carry out faithfully their mutually consistent instructions relating to the transaction.
Escrow holder is bound by law to notify both parties if the instructions given are not mutually consistent or cannot be carried out. These instructions are drawn by the Escrow Officer, and signed by the buyer and seller. Since the escrow instructions are not as detailed as the Purchase Contract, the information contained in the instructions is intended to direct the Escrow Officer in the specific steps that are to be completed through the escrow instruction.
The purchase of a home is probably the single largest investment you'll make in your lifetime. It is only prudent that you want to safeguard your rights and investment. Title insurance assures that your rights and interests to the property are as expected, that the transfer of ownership is smoothly completed and that you receive protection from future claims against the property. It is the most effective, most accepted and least expensive way to protect your ownership rights.
Because land endures over generations, many people may develop rights and claims to a particular property. The current owner's rights - which often involve family and heirs - may be obscure. There may be other parties (such as government agencies, public utilities, lenders or private contractors) who also have 'rights' to the property. These interests limit the 'title' of any buyer.
Before your real estate transaction closes, the title company performs an extensive search of all recorded documents related to the property. These records are then examined by experienced title officers to determine their effect on the current status of ownership and a report is issued to you or your agents for review. This through examination generally allows any pending title problems to be identified and cleared prior to your purchase of the property.
If title insurance companies work to eliminate risks and prevent losses caused by defects in the title before the closings, why do you need a title insurance policy?
Because even after the most careful research, some title flaws may go undetected. Among the more common flaws to title which are not of record are forgery, invalid court proceedings, mistaken legal interpretations, defective deeds, confusion due to similarity of names, previously unrecognized rights of spouses and undisclosed heirs. These problems may surface at any time in the future.
Protection against these flaws and other claims is provided by the title insurance policy which is issued after your transaction is complete. Two types of policies are routinely issued at this time: an 'owners policy' which covers you, the homebuyer for the full amount you paid for the property; and a lender's policy which covers the lending institution over the life of the loan. When purchased at the same time, you can obtain a substantial discount in the combined cost of an owner's and a lender's policy. Unlike other forms of insurance, your title insurance policy requires only one moderate premium for a policy to protect you and your heirs for as long as you own the property. There are no renewal premiums or expiration date.
Each policy is a contract of 'indemnity'. It agrees to assume the responsibility for legal defense of your title for any defect covered under the policy's terms and to reimburse you for actual financial losses up to the policy limits.
This insurance protection is an important follow-through of the service you receive from California Title Company and its title insurance subsidiaries.
