Lake Hickory Living

Affordable, Beautiful, Great Location, Discover Paradise at Anchors Landing

Do you want to pay lower prices for waterfront property? Do you want a prime location that isn’t far to drive, but still has gorgeous deep water with great boating, fishing and breathtaking views? Does being in a gated, secure waterfront community appeal to you?

Of course, all of the above appeal to you. And, whether you live in the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton area, Charlotte, Huntersville or Asheville, Anchors Landing on Lake Hickory is just your kind of neighborhood.

“Anchors Landing is no further from Charlotte than the north shore of Lake Norman,” says Matt Lahtela, Director of Sales and Marketing for NClakefront.com Realty. “And, of course, at Lake Norman you have to contend with 1-77. If there’s an accident on Interstate 77, then it could take three hours or more to get home every night. That gets old.

“At Anchor’s Landing, traffic is the LEAST of our worries,” Lahtela says with a smile.

Lahtela points out that most local folks around Hickory have no further drive to Anchors Landing than a trip to the grocery store. For those in Charlotte and Asheville, it’s just a relaxing hour (or less!) away.

Yes, and there are other substantial advantages to Lake Hickory over most other recreational lakes. “Most of them, like Lake Norman, are so congested with boat traffic,” said Lahtela. “But Lake Hickory is a breath of fresh air … beautiful, tranquil, relaxing by comparison. And, the prices, well, someone was telling me about some lots in gated communities on Lake Norman going for about three-quarters-of-a-million dollars!”

In addition the beauty of bountiful wildlife and hardwoods, Anchors Landing has an exquisite lakefront clubhouse, swimming pool, community boat slips and dry boat storage and nature trails. Most of the homesites are heavily wooded and an acre or more. The topography of the land is rolling with many homesites sitting up high with spectacular views for miles. Nature lots start at an unbelievable $49,900!

“What an excellent value for your money these days,” Lahtela says of Anchors Landing. “Certificates of deposit are earning such a low rate and the stock market has been on a scary downward spiral. Im reading all of these top financial magazines and newspapers … The Washington Post, USA Today, and they’re saying waterfront real estate is such a safe place for your money. And they’re not making any more waterfront property, you know!”

Lahtela says his buyers come from all over the United States even China and Korea. “The fact that it’s a gated neighborhood is especially attractive to women, for the security. And the nature trails are a huge draw; I’ve seen studies that say walking/nature trails are the top amenity requested in upscale communities today. I’ve seen so many people walking their dogs at sunset. It seems so peaceful and relaxing.”

Anchors Landing has over 25 acres of stocked interior lakes that also have spectacular views and are equipped with sparkling fountains. ”You get the water, the great views, trees, the peacefulness, everything without taking a chance that a motor boat or jet ski will wake you up at 6 a.m. in the morning,” says Lahtela.

Pristine Lake Hickory has 105 miles of shoreline. Lahtela says it’s the third lake in a chain of lakes created by the Catawba River. “That means it’s two lakes nearer the ‘source’ than Lake Norman, and it’s naturally cleaner. And, it fluctuates the least of any of the lakes in the chain. That’s a huge plus because some recreational lakes fluctuate as much as 20 or 30 feet.”

The swimming pool at Anchors Landing includes a Jacuzzi spa and the clubhouse has a full-service kitchen, fireplace and hardwood floors. “Purchase a homesite here and you get the whole community,” says Lahtela. “And the location of this place is just perfect-l0 minutes to a 350-bed hospital, a regional airport and only about an hour and a half to the Greensboro area. And, listen to this, in about 35 or 40 minutes, you can be at the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Blowing Rock and Boone!”

Lahtela says great loan packages are being offered right now, including those that have long-term, low-interest financing. Another great advantage to becoming a part of Anchors Landing is that you can purchase your homesite now and build later, when you’re ready. And, you can choose your own custom builder. Whether for retirement, permanent or vacation home, building when you’re ready gives you great flexibility. You can buy at today’s prices, yet build when you’re ready.

19th century stable in Buffalo, New York officially saved from demolition

19th century stable in Buffalo, New York officially saved from demolition

Thursday, July 3, 2008

Buffalo, New York —Developer and CEO of Savarino Companies, Sam Savarino, has confirmed to Wikinews that he has bought, and is planning to restore a severely damaged stable and livery on Buffalo’s West Side. The building partially collapsed on June 11, which originally caused 15 homes to be evacuated.

Savarino bought the building from owner Bob Freudenheim for US$1.00 and states that he hopes to save as much of the building as possible, including the facade, at least 20 feet of the side walls, all of the back walls including the elevator tower and if possible all three floors. There is one major downside to the purchase; he inherits the over $400,000 tax lien against the property.

“It was a “NYS Lotto” purchase (‘a dollar and a dream’). I do inherit the City’s lien of $400,000 though,” stated Savarino to Wikinews. The fee is what the city has been billed for the limited demolition it paid for before Savarino bought the building. Currently the city is suing Freudenheim to force him to pay for those fees.

The building is currently undergoing minor demolition in preparations to make the rest of it stable. Once complete, Savarino plans to evaluate the extent of the damage and begin his plans to make the building into residential living spaces.

“Only unstable parts are being demolished. We will see what we have to deal with as the demolition proceeds but tentative plans are for living units on two floors with parking on the ground floor,” stated Savarino. Construction is expected to begin as early as this year, but “more than likely next year,” he added.

Originally the city ordered an emergency demolition on the building after Freudenheim gave them permission to demolish it on June 12 during an emergency Preservation Board meeting. His reason was because he would not be “rehabilitating the building anytime soon.”

Freudenheim, along with his wife Nina, were part-owners of the Hotel Lenox at 140 North Street in Buffalo and were advocates to stop the Elmwood Village Hotel from being built on the Southeast corner of Forest and Elmwood Avenues. They also financially supported a lawsuit in an attempt to stop the hotel from being built. Though it is not known exactly how long Freudenheim has owned the stable, Wikinews has learned that he was the owner while fighting to stop the hotel from being built. Residents say that he has been the owner for at least 22 years. Residents successfully halted demolition after winning a restraining order in New York State Supreme Court, which will continue to monitor developments in the case. The next hearing is scheduled for September 2.

Savarino states his project could cost at least $3,500,000 and before construction can begin, all plans must be approved by the city’s planning board.

CanadaVOTES: NDP incumbent David Christopherson running in Hamilton Centre

Friday, September 26, 2008

On October 14, 2008, Canadians will be heading to the polls for the federal election. New Democratic Party incumbent David Christopherson is standing for re-election in the riding of Hamilton Centre.

From 1985-1990, he served as a Hamilton City Councillor for Ward Four. He was elected to Ontario legislature in 1990, defeating a Liberal cabinet minister. Under Bob Rae, Christopherson served as Minister of Correctional Services and Solicitor-General. He did not seek re-election to legislature in 2003, opting to run for mayor of Hamilton. Considered a frontrunner, he lost to Larry Di Ianni.

He returned to politics just months later, changing his focus to federal politics. Christopherson beat Liberal cabinet minister Stan Keyes, the incumbent, serving as NDP critic for cities, community infrastructure, labour and steel policy. He has served as a member of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts, and Deputy Chair of the Parliamentary Steel Caucus.

Wikinews contacted David Christopherson, to talk about the issues facing Canadians, and what they and their party would do to address them. Wikinews is in the process of contacting every candidate, in every riding across the country, no matter their political stripe. All interviews are conducted over e-mail, and interviews are published unedited, allowing candidates to impart their full message to our readers, uninterrupted.

First elected in 2004, David Christopherson is the only MP to have represented Hamilton Centre, which was created in 2003 from parts of three other ridings. Only 38 km², small versus other area ridings, its located on the south side of Hamilton Harbour. Alphabetically, Christopherson’s challengers are Anthony Giles (Libertarian), John Livingstone (Green), Lisa Nussey (Marxist-Leninist), Leon O’Connor (Conservative), Ryan Sparrow (Communist), and Helen M. Wilson (Liberal).

Late Indian politician’s son in critical condition after suspected drug overdose

Late Indian politician’s son in critical condition after suspected drug overdose

Saturday, June 3, 2006

Rahul Mahajan’s condition has improved and has been taken off ventilator support. Rahul’s CT scan report is normal and his vital parameters have shown an improvement. He will however, be kept under observation for another 3 days. “The condition of Rahul Mahajan has gradually improved over the last 12 hours. After due assessment of clinical status and investigation, our team of doctors found his vital parameters improving,” a medical bulletin released by the Apollo Hospital said.


Friday, June 2, 2006

Rahul Mahajan, the son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan has been admitted to the Apollo Hospital in New Delhi in a critical state, apparently after a drug overdose. Rahul was found in an unconscious state in his father’s residence in New Delhi early today morning. Vivek Moitra, Pramod Mahajan’s secretary who was with Rahul at the party has been declared dead presumably as a result of the same drug. Police say the Rahul, Vivek and three other men were drinking champagne together and were also apparently consuming cocaine. This assumption is based of the fact that opiate traces were found in the deceased Mr. Moitra’s pocket.

Doctors described Rahul’s condition as “critical but stable”. They said that details regarding what led to his present condition would be revealed after the conduction of a toxicology test. Two domestic helps rushed the men to hospital in the early hours of today morning. The helps disturbed the scene by clearing up the glasses and the bottles. Traces of what seems to be cocaine were however found in one the glasses.

Rahul is currently on a ventilator and his condition will have to be closely monitored for the next couple of days. He was supposed to visit Assam tomorrow to immerse his father’s ashes in the Brahmaputra. Mr. Pramod Mahjan died about a month ago after being shot by his brother. Rahul was on anti-depressants as a result of this.

The Rib-o-lator was invented out of frustration. My BBQ results were by no means consistent — often it was excellent, other times a disaster, particularly the ribs. So as a life-long inventor I set to work to solve this problem. One day as I was banging around and welding in my shop, The Rib-o-lator was born.

Severe heat wave blankets northeastern US

Severe heat wave blankets northeastern US

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

The Northeastern region of the United States has been blanketed by a severe heat wave since Sunday, with temperatures predicted to reach over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit Tuesday.

The US National Weather Service (NWS) issued warnings of severe heat for most of the East Coast as well as some inland states, which are predicted to have temperatures as high as 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Factoring in humidity levels in a measurement called a heat index, temperatures will be even higher; New York City’s heat index could reach 107 degrees.

An NWS meteorologist, Brian Korty in Maryland, said that hot air is “sitting over the top of us, and it’s not really going to budge much for the next day or two,” after which cooler air coming from the Atlantic Ocean is expected to arrive.

Officials warned of health risks from the high heat; an NWS statement said to “check on your elderly relatives and neighbors. Coaches, trainers, camp counselors should remain alert for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. It will be so hot this afternoon that the weather could affect anyone no matter their age or overall health. Please consider postponing strenuous activities or work outs.”

Electric utility companies are concerned about the effect of the heat on infrastructure; New York’s Consolidated Edison said that several hundred people were without power Tuesday morning. In Philadelphia, as many as 8,000 people were without power Monday; the number has decreased to around 400, but is expected to rise again later on Tuesday.

Athletes prepare for 2012 Summer Paralympics at the Paralympic Fitness Centre

Monday, August 27, 2012

London, England — As Paralympians ready for the Games which are set to open later this week, they have access to a world class fitness center inside the Paralympic Village which is designed to maximise their pre-Game preparations.

According to volunteers staffing the center, instead of being a single large room, as in Beijing, the building has numerous rooms. It, along with the adjacent Village Services Centre, is designed to be converted into a school after the games conclude. Rooms have been structured as a gym, an auditorium, and science laboratories.

Gym equipment is supplied by Technogym, an Italian firm that has supplied gym equipment for the Olympics since 2000. Equipment has been provided not just for for the Fitness Centre, but for gyms at all the Olympic venues. The newest equipment is oriented toward maximum flexibility, allowing athletes to exercise the particular muscles that they most require for their sport.

In addition to the equipment, the Fitness Centre also provides instructors trained in the use of the equipment, the likes of which athletes from many countries have never seen before. There are also a number of instructors available to provide motivational training.

Design And Mechanism Of Asphalt Pavers

Submitted by: Michael Danny

The Parts of Asphalt Pavers

Asphalt Finishers have grown to be more high-tech and helpful over the time span of the decennia. At this time, there are literally plenty of kinds of asphalt pavers found in the sector for road developing firms. There are also lots of of firms producing construction units featured, each in battle to be on top.

*Choosing a manufacturer can be done by simple web based searches. Based on funds, the client can either pick for a self-propelled / condensed unit asphalt finsihers or towed one.

The Typical Design

Self-propelled asphalt finishers are built to acquire its own engines that are ranked at 100-250 horse power which refers to a common measurement. Asphalt pavers which could be towed are graded at 3 to 20 hp. In regards to burden asphalt pavers are within the 20 40 thousand pounds.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3By7wP8xSg[/youtube]

Some Technical Particulars

Asphalt Positioning: 100 to 300 ft/min or 31-92 mtrs/minute

Asphalt Width: 6 to 12 in. or 152-205 millimeters

Asphalt finishers in most cases work with fuel since this is the type of diesel that most of the construction machinery runs on. The time when these things use an alternating fuel source is still may be in the works. The time people view and drive automobiles that run on something different, and the tech has become stable, then unrefutedly these things are to go by.

The different major components that make up the asphalt paver is usually manufactured separately and stored either together or otherwise. When there is a road project available, the different parts will be shipped to the construction site (where the road will be laid out) for all the components to be assembled as one piece.

*Food for Thought: All elements are polished with primer coating.

The Working of Asphalt Pavers

Before digging into the method, it is beneficial to understand what asphalt is in the first instance. Asphalt is simply a synthesis of crude and aggregate substances which include sand and stone. The formation results into a paste or glue-like substance which becomes an excellent substance for roads as it cools down and solidifies.

The process of its operation is simple. A dump truck loaded with asphalt drops it on the paver’s feeder conveyors, which often delivers the material to the back of the machine where distribution augers distribute it properly against the road. The screed is the 2nd to the last portion and this is the element that mashes out the asphalt against the floor, providing it that smooth, even surface. The task is then accomplished by the curler which packs the asphalt.

It can be seen here that the mechanism is certainly straightforward with just the merged effort of some mechanical aspects.

The near future of Asphalt Finishers

It is believed that in the future, the technology leading these construction vehicles can get more advanced. There are even ideas to integrate computer and laser systems for a considerably more accurate and flatter surface. The factor for this is to reduce the waviness of the road since constructionfirms are punished for that.

Utah Man pleads guilty in wife’s death

Utah Man pleads guilty in wife’s death

Saturday, April 16, 2005

Salt Lake City (Utah) resident and hospital orderly Mark Hacking pleaded guilty Friday to killing his wife Lori, and placing her body in a dumpster.

Mrs. Hacking’s disappearance last summer touched off an intense, weeklong search in Salt Lake County which a wire service report said was similar to the other sensational Salt Lake crime, the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart from her own bedroom.

After Hacking admitted details of his crime to his family, earlier, he suffered a breakdown and was placed in a psychiatric hospital. He was seen in court Friday with his hands cuffed behind his back.

He admitted to the judge that he killed his wife while she slept. His motives, according to prosecutors, were his anger and despondency when she discovered that he was not accepted into a North Carolina medical school as he had claimed, but would remain a hospital orderly.

Mrs. Hacking is reported to have broken down sobbing at her workplace, a Wells Fargo brokerage, after discovering her husband’s deception. She had placed a call to the medical school’s administrators and been told he was not enrolled. He had lied to her about graduating from the University of Utah as well.

Mrs. Hacking’s mother and father were in the courtroom to hear their son-in-law declare: “I intentionally shot Lori Hacking in the head with a .22 rifle.” They said it was like a “knife in the heart” to hear that, but were happy he owned up to the crime.

The attack occurred last July. Volunteers scouring a landfill found her decomposed remains after three months of searching.
