Virginia Center for Grid Research
What are Grids?
Grids are collections of interconnected resources harnessed together in order to satisfy various needs of users. The resources may be administered by different organizations and may be distributed, heterogeneous and fault-prone. The manner in which users interact with these resources may vary widely, as may the usage policies for those resources. A grid infrastructure must manage this complexity so that users can interact with resources as easily and smoothly as possible.
Our definition, and indeed a popular definition, is: A grid system is a collection of distributed resources connected by a network. A grid system, also called a grid, gathers resources – desktop and hand-held hosts, devices with embedded processing resources such as digital cameras and phones or tera-scale supercomputers – and makes them accessible to users and applications in order to reduce overhead and accelerate projects. A grid application can be defined as an application that operates in a grid environment or is "on" a grid system. Grid system software (or middleware), is software that facilitates writing grid applications and manages the underlying grid infrastructure. The resources in a grid typically share at least some of the following characteristics.
The above definitions of a grid and a grid infrastructure are necessarily general. What constitutes a "resource" is a deep question, and the actions performed by a user on a resource can vary widely. For example, a traditional definition of a resource has been "machine", or more specifically "CPU cycles on a machine". The actions users perform on such a resource can be "running a job", "checking availability in terms of load", and so on. These definitions and actions are legitimate, but limiting. Today, resources can be as diverse as "biotechnology application", "stock market database" and "wide-angle telescope", with actions being "run if license is available", "join with user profiles" and "procure data from specified sector" respectively. A grid can encompass all such resources and user actions. Therefore a grid infrastructure must be designed to accommodate these varieties of resources and actions without compromising on some basic principles such as ease of use, security, autonomy, etc.
A grid enables users to collaborate securely by sharing processing, applications and data across systems with the above characteristics in order to facilitate collaboration, faster application execution and easier access to data. More concretely this means being able to:
Requirements for Grids
Clearly, the minimum capability needed to develop grid applications is the ability to transmit bits from one machine to another – all else can be built from that. However, several challenges frequently confront a developer constructing applications for a grid. These challenges lead us to a number of requirements that any complete grid system must address. The designers of Legion believed and continue to believe that all of these requirements must be addressed by the grid infrastructure in order to reduce the burden on the application developer. If the system does not address these issues, then the programmer must – forcing programmers to spend valuable time on basic grid functions, thus needlessly increasing development time and costs. The requirements are:
Grid Design Principles
We have developed a set of principles for the architecture and design of grid systems. These include:
Overall, the application of these design principles at every level provides a unique, consistent, and extensible framework upon which to create grid applications.

It's hard to believe I live in the United States sometimes. I've been censored NUMEROUS times, thrown in F.B. jail and had three Twitter accounts shut down. Why? For telling the TRUTH.
I'm a former marathon runner, so I guess you could say I'm a pretty tenacious person. Being a redhead helps too. What am I fighting for? The honor of my husband, a United States Marine. Furthermore, I can prove the ones who slandered him are lying, so why would, or should I back down?
Hillary prided herself on "standing by her man" through the course of her marriage to lying "horn-dog" Bill Clinton. I'm standing by my man too, refusing to let liars slander him. Where are my accolades?
Mark Zuckerberg fancies himself as arbiter of all that right and meet through the innocuous sounding "Community Standards" on Facebook. Does it meet "Community Standards" to brainwash a child? Does it meet "Community Standards" to "launder money"? Does it meet "Community Standards" to lie, steal, collude, forge and coerce? Therein lies the "meat" of the truth I try to get out to the best of my ability. Oh yeah, I try to get "Kool-Aid Drinkers" "woke" to the fact that many in Dallas are in a growing cult of eleven thousand.
I have no money for an attorney, and I no legal training whatsoever, but somehow I have managed to file two grievances and two appeals against a State Bar, and also file an investigation with a State Auditor's Office. Unfortunately, this State Auditor's Office has no subpoena power, so in essence, the Bar investigates themselves, and they LIKE it that way.
Have we so quickly forgotten about "Pravda" and state-run media? It's not a whole lot different now when "reputable" news organizations slobber all over themselves to aggrandize known liars, and then to "endorse" them because us lowly peasants can't figure things out for ourselves.
In my home state of Texas, The Dallas Whoring News and Houston Chronic Liars both endorsed Hillary. Seems pretty surreal huh? Orwell's book "1984" is here folks; everyday for the past three years I feel like I'm in one of those bad dreams where you scream and nothing comes out.
So now, as I "market" for a cutting-edge website that has more cajones than the entire state of Texas, I "patriot" on for The Reactionary Times. Rivera is a veteran who dares take a stand, and realizes our fight isn't about "left" and "right" as it is about "right" and "wrong".
How can you help stop the loss of our liberties? Share our posts and help spread the word since I'm shackled with Zuckerberg's punishment in the form of a "captcha" for my each and every post. "Gotcha" Zuckerberg.

I heard this thought the other day and it caused me to stop and ponder its meaning, particularly in relation to how we spread the gospel.
Lighthouses don't go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining. ― Anne Lamott
It reminded me of the scripture in Matthew 5:14-16
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Elder Gordon B. Hinckley gave us this council in the April 1982 general conference.
The most persuasive gospel tract is the exemplary life of a faithful Latter-day Saint. . . If we as a people will walk with integrity, will be honest and moral in our actions, will put into our lives the simple and basic and wonderful principle of the Golden Rule, others will be led to inquire and learn. We shall become as a city set upon a hill whose light cannot be hid. (See Matt. 5:14) We shall witness an ever-growing fulfillment of the promise of Isaiah: "And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." Isa. 2:3
We are all familiar with Hymn #335 - Brightly Beams our Father's Mercy.
Pay particular attention to verse 2.
1. Brightly beams our Father's mercyFrom his lighthouse evermore,But to us he gives the keepingOf the lights along the shore.
2. Dark the night of sin has settled;Loud the angry billows roar.Eager eyes are watching, longing,For the lights along the shore.
3. Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;Some poor sailor, tempest-tossed,Trying now to make the harbor,In the darkness may be lost.
(Chorus)Let the lower lights be burning;Send a gleam across the wave.Some poor fainting, struggling seamanYou may rescue, you may save.Text and music: Philip Paul Bliss, 1838-1876
While going "To the Rescue" and leaving the "ninety and nine" may be appropriate and needed at times, our daily responsibility as disciples of Christ is to be that lighthouse for those who are eagerly watching for the lights upon the shore to help guide them. We can be that light on the shore. Let our lives be examples that are worth emulating.

Online laptop supplier sees increase in sales as market declines
Press Release • Oct 30, 2010 06:47 BST
October 30, 2010 - While larger computer retailers are finding it hard to stay afloat with tighter margins than ever and a decline in consumer spending, cheap online laptop retailer Val-U-Computers.co.uk has seen a recent increase in sales leading up to the festive season.
Google Insights data reports that searches for laptop related terms are around 20% lower in 2010 than they were in 2009, indicating a decline in consumer interest. Despite this decline, Val-U-Computers.co.uk is seeing an increase in sales due to attractive prices and personal support.
Val-U-Computers.co.uk specialises in professionally reconditioned and refurbished laptops costing around 30% less than the equivalent new laptop. For people looking to save money in this unstable financial climate, this proposition is very appealing.
Trevor Gedge, managing director of Val-U-Computers.co.uk states; "The majority of people who buy laptops from us are looking for something that can be used for everyday tasks such as internet access, email and word processing. New, expensive machines are simply not required for these basic tasks, and money is wasted on features that may never be needed. We have also found a niche market for refurbished laptops with ports not found on new laptops. This market has helped to provide Val-U-Computers.co.uk with a constant demand for Cheap Laptops throughout the year."
Val-U-Computers.co.uk has been trading since 1993 but moved the business online in 2000 when the internet started to become mainstream in British homes. By reacting quickly to changes in the industry and the changes in the way laptops were being used, Val-U-Computers.co.uk was able to successfully thrive in a fiercely competitive market.

One of the ongoing traditions of the Toronto Film Festival remained very much alive on Sept. 7, as the Sony Classics dinner at Creme Brasserie drew Daniel Radcliffe, Michael C. Hall, Felicity Jones, Ralph Fiennes, Jack Huston and Anton Yelchin.
The event, hosted by Sony Classics co-toppers Michael Barker and Tom Bernard, also drew Frank Marshall and Universal co-chief Donna Langley.
"This is a great chance to catch up -- and point out that we have nine movies at Toronto this year," Barker noted.
That list includes "Kill Your Darlings," starring Radcliffe and Hall, and Fiennes' period drama "The Invisible Woman." It's also launching Jim Jarmusch's "Only Lovers Left Alive," India-set "The Lunchbox," starring Irrfan Khan and Asghar Farhadi's "The Past," the Iranian director's latest film after 2011's Oscar-winning "A Separation."
SPC is also screening a quartet of documentaries -- including Penn and Teller's "Tim's Vermeer," Alex Gibney's "The Armstrong Lie," Charlie Paul's "For No Good Reason," focusing on artist Ralph Steadman, and Frank Pavich's "Jodorowsky's Dune."

If you're in an auto accident in which another driver is at fault, you're probably not going to get all the money you should. That driver's insurance company likely is legally required to compensate you for diminished value—the loss in resale value that your vehicle suffered due the crash. But insurers inevitably try to pay less than is fair and often even deny that diminished-value compensation is required at all.
Even when accident damage is perfectly repaired, having an accident in a vehicle's history significantly reduces its resale value. Potential buyers worry that the vehicle might have hidden problems. Continue reading

As the old saying goes, 'everything in moderation'. As a PP said, I see lots of kids in high school too exhausted to concentrate at school or even in some cases they've taken the day off to work!! (I have one yr 11 student not coming to school tomorrow as he works in Logan and it's a public holiday so he can earn 2x the amount). I think having a job is rewarding and also eases the financial stress from parents to pay for movies, party presents etc. it's also great for expanding your social circle beyond school. I think when DS works I'll be limiting him to weekend work and possibly a Thursday night.

I worked 2 shifts a week at Big W from the age of 15. I liked having my own spending money and while it taught me jack about saving money, I had to learn to balance my social life with work and school. Incidentally my time management skills and ability to multi task are probably my greatest strengths and I found when I was working full time after uni I was incredibly comfortable with deadlines and fitting in work around meetings and managing a team. I attribute that partly to my personality (typical Type A control freak) and also to my previous experience with casual work. I also worked right through uni and was responsible for all my uni costs. Along with my HECS debt I paid for all my text books, stationery, petrol, car maintenance, car loan, parking and student union fees. I learned very quickly how to budget and prioritise money given I was only working 15-20 hours a week as a bartender (ie crappy pay). I also lived out of home for 6 months and paid my own rent, food, bills etc (with help from Centrelink).
While part of my financial responsibility was because my parents weren't exactly rolling in it, part of it was also to teach me the value of a dollar. I hope my boys are working while at school, even just one shift a week. I'd be keen on them sticking to retail (or similar) during high school though given hospitality hours can be a bit rough. We're going to be in a better position financially than my parents were but I will certainly expect that my boys will pay for their own leisure activities at the very least. What they pay for during uni will depend entirely on their job and their expenses.

My brother is a top level athlete, he's pegged to compete in the next Olympics.
To get to this stage he had to train 3 hours before school and 3 hours after school, that plus a lot of travel meant he could never have worked. So I'm glad my mum never insisted he work or he wouldn't be at this level now.
He postponed Uni mid degree and got a part time job at McDonalds to fund his living while he trained and has recently given that up as now he's being paid to train.
I firmly believe things like work and study can be postponed for passions and opportunities.

As we currently run a business we will probably let the kids do odd jobs for us, or look for other jobs locally if they wish. One of my kids is quite studious while the other has autism and is intellectually impaired. I think its particularly important for my asd child to learn life skills.

I worked through high school and loved it. Learnt so much, gave me new friends and helped me to learn to be financially independent (because my family didnt have much money, I was able to buy the things I wanted and stopped me from being harassed at school for not having all the latest stuff..snobby school ) It also helped me to grow up and learn to be mature in the workplace.
I am a high school teacher and recommend to my students to get a casual job as I believe it helps them to gain confidence, independence and essential life skills. I STRONGLY advise that they do it within reason ie - dont work late night shifts on school nights, and not to work over 10-12 hours per week because then it can impact on study.
I will be encouraging my kids to have a job when they are older for sure.

I was begging my parents to let me get a job as soon as I turned 14 and 9 months (that was the minimum work age at the time), and finally when I was 15 they said yes and I started working at Woolworths. I worked 14 hours per week - 4 hours on Tuedsay afternoon/evening, then 5 hours each on Saturday and Sunday. My parents made me save half of my pay every week, and it was clear that if my results at school suffered, I had to reduce my hours or quit. I took school and work seriously and balanced it well. It taught me amazing time management skills; once I started Uni, I was studying full time, working 18 hours on weekends at Woolworths and another 20 hours per week as a Receptionist. Because I had a strong work ethic, my (now) husband and I were able to purchase our first home when I was 19, when many of the kids I went to school with were struggling to manage their part-time jobs with Uni.
Having amazingly supportive parents makes it much easier (emotionally supportive, I still mostly looked after myself financially), but I think all kids should work while they're at school!

Automated game of Doeo using Java Robot class
Now that pong is fully automated, it is time to optimize.
First I switched to the game Doeo. The goal of the game is to move your mouse as fast over Doeos as possible. A fun game to use as an example for automation.
I also made a small performance enhancement (10 to 15 percent) by not using getRGB () from BufferdImage, but reading directly from an array. It does take some time to get everything into an integer array, but if that's done, the for-loop is a lot faster.

Wine Paired Banquets in Devonshire Square
We were thrilled to be flexing our dinner party muscles in the old East India Company buildings that make up Devonshire Square, near Liverpool Street, for the fab London Wine Week. We fed over 300 guests with wine matched dinners over 4 days.
Unlike traditional wine pairing, the wine choices came first, with DDC matching the regions, the ingredients and the inspiration for a specific wine supplier, with a menu that we felt would evoke, match and compliment each selection, including wines from celebrated chateau Trimbach, Italian bubbles by Ferrari, some fantastic wines by Sicilian winemaker Planeta, and not-just-Malbecs from Trapiche in Argentina.
We had a great long long long weekend and can't wait to be back in 2017.

Benedict Wong joins cast of Gemini Man
- Bang Showbiz
- 28 February 2018
'Doctor Strange' star Benedict Wong has joined Will Smith in the upcoming Ang Lee action thriller 'Gemini Man'
Benedict Wong has joined the cast of 'Gemini Man'.
The 46-year-old actor - who is best known for starring as master of the Mystic Arts Wong in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie 'Doctor Strange' - has joined Ang Lee's new action thriller, Deadline claims.
Although Wong's role hasn't been announced yet, he will be starring in the upcoming movie alongside Will Smith, who will play an ageing assassin Henry Brogan who ends up getting involved in a fierce battle with his clone, who is 25 years younger than him with sharper skills.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead was announced to be playing the female lead alongside Clive Owen, whose role has yet to be revealed, though Variety report he could be the antagonist.
Following Wong's casting, Smith took to Instagram to post a video revealing filming has begun in Georgia.
While wearing a net over his face to protect him from the bugs, he said: "This is my first day of shooting on a movie, it's called 'Gemini Man', we are shooting in Georgia.
"I love Georgia, but y'all got to do something about the bugs.
"Georgia's so gorgeous. It really is. It's beautiful, but you got to rock this s**t to be out here.
"I'm just saying y'all need to fix it. Coz I put OFF, sprayed OFF on, the bugs is on that like it's honey.
"I make my living with my face. So someone might do something about that quick. (sic)"
The 'Brokeback Mountain' helmer is directing the Paramount movie, which has been in the pipeline since 1997.
The original project, set up by Disney, was pitched by Darren Lake, with Don Murphy producing and Tony Scott directing. But it was put on hold for many years to allow the visual effects technology to catch up with the film concept.
The script has been tweaked along the way, and the idea of having two different actors play the assassin and the clone was scrapped, with Smith taking on both roles as developments in filmmaking will enable him to play both different ages and fight against himself.
Jerry Bruckheimer, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger are producing, with Murphy and Chad Oman serving as executive producers.
The film is slated for release in October 2019 and after numerous delays, it appears the movie is coming together with Owen, Wong and Winstead's casting.

Taylor Wimpey profits boosted by Help to Buy scheme
News • Feb 28, 2017 12:09 GMT
Taylor Wimpey has reported an increase in profits to £589.3M with the Help to Buy scheme accounting for 39% of total sales last year.
The housebuilder saw completion levels rise to 13,808 up from 2015's figure of 13,219 – an increase of 4.5%.
Of these completions, 2,663 were classed as "affordable" homes.
The average price of a Taylor Wimpey home in 2016 was £255,000.
Shareholders will see dividend payments totalling £355.9M last year and are set to increase further to around £450M in 2017, or 13.8p per share, up 26%.
The Company said trading conditions for the year ahead are "robust" with high levels of demand boosted by a competitive mortgage market and low interest rates.
The short term risks posed by last June's EU referendum have also been "significant reduced".
Taylor Wimpey said they backed the government's housing white paper and its ambitions to increase housebuilding in the UK.
Pete Redfern, Chief Executive, commented: "In 2016 we delivered an excellent performance set against an uncertain political and economic environment that stabilised in the final quarter.
"The outlook for 2017 is for ongoing stability and incremental price growth, which is a healthy backdrop for our business and our customers."

Posts tagged "nature"
A decent journalistic piece in Nature about household energy use and health. My favorite bit, from the one-two punch of Kirk Smith & Kalpana Balakrishnan:
After decades of battling to get people to use improved cooking-stoves, many researchers worry that such devices will never win over consumers and thus never achieve the desired health and climate gains. "My bottom line is that nothing works," Smith says. "The only thing we know that's ever worked is gas and electric."
Balakrishnan makes a moral argument against improved cooking stoves, which still produce harmful amounts of pollutants compared with LPG or electric ones, powered by remote energy plants that comonly use fossil fuels. "Are you justified in saying that it's OK to be just a little bit better?" she asks. "If it's OK for 40% of the population to use fossil fuels, then why is not OK for the other 60% of the population? How can we have dual standards?"
Pretty early on Sunday morning, I hit the road to Point Reyes for a 10-ish mile trail run. I decided to explore parts of the Estero trail. Beth and I hiked Estero to Sunset Beach in April — and it was really spectacular. I decided to go a bit south of Sunset Beach to Drake's Head.
The morning began densely fogged in. Some cows blocked the road for a few minutes. By the time I got to the parking lot, the sun was out; it was pretty warm.
I followed the trail marker through some dense grass that gave way to a sandy trail. It winds by and through one magical patch of forest — and then another. As you emerge from the forest, you can see Home Bay, where you can stand on a bridge and admire various birds in the estuary. Be sure to look down to the rocks, where you may see dozens of crabs scuttling about. The trail continues up to a pretty great view and then meanders, up and down, through some beautiful estuaries hidden amidst rocky terrain and pasture land.
Eventually (2.5ish miles in), you'll hit a fork in the road that points to a number of destinations — including Sunset Beach and Drake's Head. Either endpoint is well worth it. I turned towards Drake's Head. The trail disappears a bit amongst more pasture land. Expect to see quite a few large, mainly docile cows. Arrows pop up every now and then to point you in the right direction.
Eventually you hit another trail marker pointing towards Drake's Head. Turn down that 'trail', and follow the faint path to the beautiful bluff viewpoint. Despite the lack of a formal trail and the numerous bovine companions, the walk is straightforward and the endpoint is visible for much of it.
The views from Drake's Head are incredible. You can see Limantour Spit and Estero, Drake's Bay, and up and down the coast. I saw one person on the way to Drake's Head and two or three on the way out; I had the bluff to myself for the half hour I spent there. A beautiful, solitary hike (or run). One of my new favorites.
The Atlantic:
In a few days, Japan will mark the 2nd anniversary of the devastating Tohoku earthquake and resulting tsunami. The disaster killed nearly 19,000 across Japan, leveling entire coastal villages. Now, nearly all the rubble has been removed, or stacked neatly, but reconstruction on higher ground is lagging, as government red tape has slowed recovery efforts. Locals living in temporary housing are frustrated, and still haunted by the horrific event, some displaying signs of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Follows up on a similar activity they did after one year. In fact, some of the before shots are the same — so you can see how things looked a year and two years after the devastating disaster.
Last weekend, the Lovehardsteins, ChAriel, Beth and I went to Bear Valley for a weekend of skiing, hot tubs, and some fantastic team cooking led by Ben. I x-country skied, but that's a story for… never. On the drive back, we encountered a lot of outstanding randomness, including the following:
1) a large number of cows, walking in a straight line, down a path, despite huge swaths of trodable land surrounding them;
2) a boy on a dirt bike, racing parallel to us, in a field;
3) some very, very large birds;
4) a murmuration.
Today, kottke.org coincidentally featured a cool video about murmuration (posted below).
Petur Thomsen, an Icelandic photographer, has been documenting "man's attempts to dominate nature" and "man's transformation of nature into environment."
One set of photographs - his "Imported Landscape" series — is particularly striking. It examines the impact of the Karahnjukar Hydroelectric Project in eastern Iceland.
The project consists of three dams, one of them being the highest in Europe, and a hydroelectric power plant. The dams block among others the big glacial river Jokula a Dal, creating the 57km2 artificial lake Halslon.
The power plant is primarily being constructed to supply electricity to a new Aluminum smelter built by Alcoa of USA in the fjord of Reyoarfjorour on the east coast of Iceland.
The artificial lake and the constructions have spoiled the biggest wild nature in Europe. Making the Karahnjukar project, not only the biggest project in Icelandic history, but also the most controversial one. There have been a lot of debates about this project. Environmentalists are fighting for the preservation of the wild nature while those supporting the project talk about the need to use the energy the nature has to offer.
The best way for me to participate in the debate was to follow the land in its transformation.
Environmental degradation in the name of energy production — even 'clean' energy production — is nothing new. Thomsen's take starkly frames the respective powers of man and nature as antagonists. For me, he conveys perfectly our conflicting senses of nostalgia/loss and awe/control. His photos embody contrasting, awkward meanings of power — electricity, energy, dominion, destruction, beauty.

Samsara →
I first saw Baraka in college and was blown away by the imagery and the format — a beautiful 70mm film, silent, relying solely on the power of its images to carry narrative force. It succeeded. The follow-up - 20 years later - took five years to make and was filmed in 25 countries. From the creators' website:
SAMSARA is a Sanskrit word that means "the ever turning wheel of life" and is the point of departure for the filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives. Filmed over a period of almost five years and in twenty-five countries, SAMSARA transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, SAMSARA subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern.
Expanding on the themes they developed in BARAKA (1992) and CHRONOS (1985), SAMSARA explores the wonders of our world from the mundane to the miraculous, looking into the unfathomable reaches of man's spirituality and the human experience. Neither a traditional documentary nor a travelogue, SAMSARA takes the form of a nonverbal, guided meditation. Through powerful images, the film illuminates the links between humanity and the rest of nature, showing how our life cycle mirrors the rhythm of the planet.
The filmmakers approach non verbal filmmaking with an understanding that it must live up to the standard of great still photography, revealing the essence of a subject, not just its physical presence. SAMSARA was photographed entirely in 70mm film utilizing both standard frame rates and with a motion control time-lapse camera designed specifically for this project. This camera system allows perspective shifts to reveal extraordinary views of ordinary scenes. The images were then transferred through the highest resolution scanning process available to the new 4K digital projection format that allows for mesmerizing images of unprecedented clarity. SAMSARA will be a showpiece for the new, high-resolution 4K digital projection, the HD format, as well as standard digital and film projection.

Decision on controversial East Anglian Way homes plan in Gorleston deferred pending site visit
PUBLISHED: 13:11 14 September 2017
The wait for a resolution to a planning application which would see 71 new homes built off a Gorleston cul-de-sac will continue, after councillors deferred their decision.
The future of the land off East Anglian Way in the town has been up in the air for some time, with Badger Building the latest company looking to redevelop the land.
The company first lodged its plans in March 2016, with its latest application hoping to add 71 homes to the land, which had raised concerns about traffic volume.
It was due for a decision on Wednesday, September 13, however, Great Yarmouth Borough Council's development control committee instead deferred this to a later date.
The future of the application will now be brought back before the councillors, once they completed a site visit to assess issues raised.
Ron Hanton, vice chairman of the committee, said: "Concerns had been raised about the number of houses and that the road would have traffic problems, so the members want to go and have a look at that."
It remains to be seen when the site visit will be, meaning it is yet to be confirmed when the application's future will be settled.
The 3.8 hectares of land was formally allotments and was allocated for housing as part of the 2001 local plan, and backs onto the A47 Gorleston bypass.
The bid was greeted with nearly a dozen neighbour objections, with many relating to the volume of traffic it could create.
The development proposes a singular access point off of East Anglian Way.
One comment, from Joseph Santon of Church Lane, said: "The additional vehicles using Church Lane because of the development will increase the risks to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists in the area.
"Given the proximity of the proposed access on Church Lane, the main college vehicular entrance, there is an increased likelihood of accidents involving the users of Church Lane."
Another, from Tracey Kelly, Christian Dimascio and family added: "With a busy school along the entrance road and general congestion, we feel the extra traffic would be disastrous."
Other objections relate to wildlife, though a report suggested reptiles were unlikely to be found there.

Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings - 8/8/14
Minnesota Vikings (5-10-1) Vs. Oakland Raiders (4-12)
NFL Football: Friday, August 8, 2014 at 8:00 pm (TCF Bank Stadium)
The Line: Minnesota Vikings -3 -- Over/Under: 35 See the Latest Odds
The Oakland Raiders head to Minnesota on Friday to face off against the Vikings.
The Minnesota Vikings played the quarterback carousel game last season, and as you can expect, things did not go well. The Vikings hope to rectify that this season as Minnesota drafted Teddy Bridgewater in the draft, and reports out of camp are that Norv Turner loves him. Bridgewater has reportedly established a strong connection with TE Kyle Rudolph, and with tight ends being a huge part of a Turner offense, this is some positive news for the Vikings. Matt Cassell is still penciled in as the starter in Minnesota, but if Bridgewater has a solid preseason campaign, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the nod opening day, as the Vikings don't have any big expectations this season anyway. Peterson is likely to sit out the entire game, and likely the entire preseason, so look for Asiata to get a ton of work here out of the backfield.
USA TODAY Sports
The Oakland Raiders, also did some shuffling around at the quarterback position last season, including starting Terrelle Pryor for a few games…yeah it was that bad in Oakland. This season the Raiders have an experienced NFL starter under center in Matt Schaub, who the Raiders acquired from the Texans. Schaub isn't quite Peyton Manning, but still he is much better than anyone the Raiders had running out there last season. The Raiders also feel that Schaub may not be the long term solution for them, and in that, the Raiders drafted Carr out of Fresno in the draft. Look for Carr to see some decent playing time here as the Raiders are in no rush to start him, and would like to get a good look at what they've got. The Raiders also acquired MJD from the Jags this past offseason, and he looks to get a fresh start on his career, sharing time in the backfield with McFadden.
Preseason games are always tough to call, but this one is a complete coin-flip. I'll go ahead and take the points with the Raiders here, as Peterson won't play at all, and look for the Raiders starting unit to have some advantage because of that. I don't know who will win, but getting three points against the Vikings is hard to pass up.

Penguins in unfamiliar territory after loss in Game 5
Pittsburgh squanders two leads, faces elimination for first time in 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffsby Wes Crosby / NHL.com Correspondent
PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Penguins are in unfamiliar territory.
Pittsburgh surrendered two leads in its 4-3 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final at Consol Energy Center on Sunday.
The Lightning lead the best-of-7 series 3-2. Game 6 is Tuesday at Amalie Arena (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).
After losing consecutive games for the first time since Jan. 12 and 15, the Penguins face elimination for the first time in the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan is confident his team will answer appropriately in Game 6.
Video: Sullivan on defense, losing 4-3 in overtime
"I know our guys will respond the right way," Sullivan said. "They have for four months, five months now. Anytime your back is against the wall, you have to heighten your urgency even that much more and heighten the intensity that much more. I told them after the game, it's disappointing. We're all disappointed we didn't get the result tonight, but we can't change it.
"So, all we have to do is we have to gather ourselves, we have to go back at it and try to win a game. This group has done a terrific job all year of just staying in the moment and not dwelling on the past, not getting ahead of itself and just trying to focus on that one game at hand and that's what we're going to have to try to do."
Resiliency has defined the Penguins for a few months, but wasn't displayed Sunday.
Pittsburgh had a 2-0 lead on goals from forwards Bryan Rust and Patric Hornqvist, then allowed two goals 1:10 apart with 5:35 remaining in the second period.
The Penguins regained the lead on Chris Kunitz's goal with 49.6 seconds left in the second. They survived a double minor high-sticking penalty against defenseman Olli Maatta early in the third period and a shot from Lightning forward Ryan Callahan that rung off the right post with 3:55 remaining.
Video: TBL@PIT, Gm5: Kucherov nets second to even game late
But 39 seconds later, the game was tied 3-3 on Nikita Kucherov's second goal of the game.
"I think we expect to do certain things and when it doesn't go our way, we have to rally," Kunitz said. "I think it's just chipping the puck or getting a hit or extending a shift, things guys can rally around on the bench."
Pittsburgh anticipates a consistent effort in Game 6, but will face a lingering question.
Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury allowed four goals on 25 shots in his first start of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs. He hadn't played since March 31 after sustaining a concussion. After the game, Sullivan said he would assess Fleury's performance after he has time to digest the game.
Pittsburgh's goaltending situation remains clouded entering an elimination game. Regardless of if he or rookie goalie Matt Murray starts, Fleury believes the Penguins will bounce back.
"We know how we got here," Fleury said. "We had a great run … We're still confident that we can beat them. Nothing is over. It's a [best-of-7]. We need to get back there and get one."

Cam Newton, the man in Vegas said, is what Terrelle Pryor was supposed to be.
He meant that Pryor had not lived up to advance billing as an unstoppable dual threat quarterback who was to put Ohio State on his shoulders and deliver the Buckeyes to the mountaintop.
Labeling Pryor a disappointment requires that the one passing judgment ignore Ohio State's 31-5 record and three straight BCS bowl games, including the Jan. 4 Sugar Bowl against Arkansas, with Pryor at quarterback.
The most sought-after high school player in the country, Pryor was up against impossible expectations before he left Jeannette, Pa. One recruiting expert compared him to Texas' Vince Young and said he could play quarterback, tight end, safety, defensive end or linebacker. There was talk of the 6-foot-6 Pryor doubling up in basketball.
A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer who had covered high school football for almost 30 years said the darnedest thing he had seen Pryor do was hurdle the other team's center, land on his feet, and catch the ball coming off the kicker's foot on an extra point attempt.
Pryor compounded the angst of Ohio State fans when he waited six weeks past the signing date before accepting an offer.
Fans wanted him to play immediately, but he was behind sixth-year senior Todd Boeckman. Following a 32-point loss to USC, Pryor became the first freshman to start at quarterback for Ohio State since Art Schlichter in 1978.
His heroics against Wisconsin in the third start of his freshman year convinced Ohio State fans that he could do no wrong. Trailing 17-13 midway through the fourth quarter, Pryor completed 3-of-4 for 59 yards and ran 11 yards for the winning TD.
Three weeks later, a love-hate relationship took root when Ohio State failed to score a touchdown in a 13-6 loss to Penn State and Pryor fumbled in the fourth quarter.
Inevitably, Pryor's critics reference a 26-18 loss to Purdue in 2009 when Ohio State was 5-1 and the Boilermakers were 1-5. Pryor threw two interceptions and lost a couple of fumbles.
This year, Pryor and the Buckeyes were No. 1 until he completed half of his 28 passes in a loss to Wisconsin.
Although Pryor has improved his completion percentage almost 10 points
to 66 percent, his arm is only about average. Unlike Arkansas' Ryan Mallett, Pryor is a legitimate threat to run so his contribution cannot be measured by the pass alone.
During the season, Pryor ran or passed on 418 of Ohio State's 826 plays and Mallett was the man on 404 of Arkansas' 808 plays. Mallett was minus yards rushing for the year; Pryor ran for 49 yards or more eight times.
Winning goes through them. Both are accompanied by a 1,000-yard runner, but Daniel Herron and Knile Davis are in supporting roles.
Given that Arkansas has been hurt by quarterbacks who can run and that Pryor won't get hit again for months, coach Jim Tressel might use his quarterback even more than normal, as he did when Pryor ran or threw 57 times in the Rose Bowl victory over Oregon.
In particular, the read option could be a popular call. LSU'S Jordan Jefferson tried that series a couple of times early against Arkansas, but gave up after former high school teammate Jerico Nelson nailed him.

The Palestinians camps in Lebanon had their part from this war. While some were also bombed others received displaced persons. One of the camps in the south (Rachidiyeh camp in Sour) was bombed once leaving some injuries.
Situation in Dbayeh Camp:
Dbayeh camp is located to the North of Beirut city. Since the beginning of the war of 12th July to date (26/07/060 the camp opened its door to 56 displaced families equivalent to 226 individuals of different nationalities: Palestinians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Lebanese. A committee from the camp's residents was formed to register all comings making sure that no political and armed parties or members are among them. A group of displaced were placed in a school run by the Nazareth Sister. Others were received by some Palestinians residents within their own homes. Currently the camp is facing an increased population due to the small quarters of houses and the little space of the camp. In one house there are at least 30 persons now experiencing hard living and social conditions. The original residents barely were able to provide their basic needs and now with the displaced it got even harder to all.
Caritas center in the camp welcomed 3 iraqi families with children that moved from Dahyeh. The center provided them with mattresses and beddings supplies (blanket and sheets), food, dippers and milk. As well, the center coordinated with the medical center of Najdeh association to ensure free medical consultation to sick ones. Pharmaceuticals, hygienic supplies and kitchen utensils such as plates, forkes, spoons, cups, tissues etc were all ensured by Caritas. In addition camp residents were providing displaced with some food supplies.
Coordination with the Nazareth sisters, medical center of Najdeh association, and St Georges church committee at the camp and caritas Center helped and was sufficient to ensure security to all displaced families and camp resident all together. However, they are facing a hard economic status.
Situation in Berj el Brajneh, Mar Elias, Shatila & Sabra camps:
These camps are on the borders of Dahyeh, the constantly targeted area of Beirut. Women Humanitarian Organisation (WHO) in collaboration with the emergency relief committee are working to assist displaced people providing them with meals, mattresses, pillows, medicine, milk, dippers...
A team of volunteers is ensuring the distribution of these items as well working to clean underground shelters and equipping them with generators and first aid kits and equipment.
Although bombs did not target Beirut camps, located at proximity of targeted areas of Dahyeh, blockaded residents inside. These camps experienced in & out movements. Palestinians as well Lebanese living next to the camps left their homes and moved inside camps. Currently there are around 200 displaced families. On the other hand, 100 palestinians families from berj el brajneh moved to other areas in the north of Lebanon and some settled down in Nahr el Bared & Baddawi camps.
Unemployment increased as many head families lost their job. Camps' residents are fearing the war and following its progress cautiously especially that surrounding areas are being constantly and fiercely bombed. All camps are facing an increased population and still receiving to-date displaced persons. The situation of Palestinian refugees can be described with an enormous social and economical outbreak as they are trapped inside camps and unable to go out and purchase their basic needs as food.
