STOP Asserby Windfarm

Asserby WindFarm Planning Application - N/016/01046/14

www.e-lindsey.gov.uk

Scroll down to Search for a Planning application, register there, search for "Asserby"  and submit a comment/objection. Or  if you reply by e-mail please send your comments to Andy Allen. andy.allen@e-lindsey.gov.uk

The latest given date is 15 August 2014 for consultation replies. Comments can be accepted up until the day before the decision is made on the application, which at the moment ELDC have no idea when that will be.


I would definitely recommend putting your objection in writing, it pays to have as many residents writing their letters as possible now that Eric Pickles has stated local residents have more sway over the decisions (that is yet to be seen but its the idea).   But your objections need to be on material considerations such as:
 
  • Highway safety
  • Traffic
  • Noise
  • Effect on listed building and conservation area
  • Design, appearance and materials
  • Government policy
  • Previous planning decisions (including appeal decisions)
  • Nature conservation
Look at the Planning application by EnergieKontor and see what issues they've addressed. These are the ones they will argue they have met the guidelines.

Please put up a fight.

Driverless Cars?

Some may say that's the problem. Too many cars these days don't have drivers at least people driving that have a mind hence Driverless.

Seriously when I first started using SatNav it occurred to me that if it could be hooked up to a computer controlling the car it could take you from A to B. However it needs very good GPS tracking down to feet, otherwise where would the car go. Delivery drivers use their SatNavs and can't find us. They are a couple of miles off and ave to ring us "where are you?"they say. How would that work if the car  was driving?

Thor - the Dark World

worthy episode in the series . Makes more sense if you're following most of the Marvel franchise. London gets the setting for Earth.

Spoof emails what do you do?

If you get some spurious half legitimate looking email FROM YOURSELF!! (never), it can’t be TRUE!

I’m guessing that one of your Contacts has been “hacked”. Somehow (and I’m speculating) that a “bot” has got onto  their Pc and accessed the address list passing details to the hacker. Then they can use the email addresses on the list to send “spoof” (SPAM) emails like the one supposedly from PayPal to you. As it seems from yourself!!

As you are probably aware NEVER click on the links contained in these emails. If you hover over it you will see the exact address it is linking to – not PayPal of course.

Nothing we can do about what is “out there” – anyone you’ve ever emailed could be hacked and then messages will come back to you, hence the silliness/stupidity  of ever “sending around” so called “informational/funny” emails no matter how well meaning they seem to be. When they hit someone who has been hacked, bingo, the hackers get all the email addresses used in that email, thus it grows like a virus.

Register with SPAMcop and fight them.

using a mobile phone whilst driving

Recently 2 top police officers have suggested more severe penalties for driving and using a mobile phone. Also confiscating them after all accidents to check for use. think that using a mobile phone whilst driving should be treated as severely as Drink Driving.
People need to be educated just like we were about drinking. it is difficult though for example, i have just watched an episodes of the Mentalist and 2 people need were blatantly using a mobile phone whilst driving. What sort of an example is this? do they have different laws in USA? Should we censor programs that show people breaking our laws? but then programs show all sort of crime.

Android phone lost data settings?

I had to reset my Samsung phone to factory settings. It wouldn't boot. Kept cycling around .

2 things.

1. Make sure you've backed up. You can sync to gmail. Or export contacts to sdcard . Before you lose them.
2. You'll need to restore your data settings .

On my Talktalk Samsung phone message to 40127
Talk
This will return to you the configuration settings but it will not be in your normal messages.
Open Messages press Menu there Will be Configuration Messages press and Install the latest message.
You may need to restart but now you should be able to connect to internet etc.
Done
