I hope she found this expulsion of bottled up secrets and anger helps in her healing process. [/quote] And if this isn't true? What then should be done for false accusations and the life she ruined by lying? Why is it good to go for the internet mob instead of real justice? Why not go to a counselor instead of attention grabbing youtube which will make her $$$? [/quote] You are not a woman are you? Never worked with abused women either, I'm going to assume. Fear is instilled in abused women, it takes a very strong girl to turn her father in for rape while the attacks are still ongoing. Most abusers put the fear of God into their victims with threats of more violence and even death. I't how they control their victims. It's only once they are able to escape the situation and put some perspective on it that they can see that the way they were being treated is so very wrong. [/quote] Oh yeah, a woman should just be believed for any false accusation they make. You aren't a man and haven't worked with men who have had false accusations against them ruin their life, have you? And they can't defend themselves, people like you attack them, guilty or not. [/quote] Well from my own personal experience. Spent 7 years in an abusive marriage. When he picked up my young son and threw him against the wall during one of his tirades. Long story short, I plotted to get out. He lied on the witness stand in court, but the judge saw right through him. I was granted an immediate divorce with a lifetime restraining order protecting myself and my kids. His family called me all kinds of names, spread rumours about me, ruined my reputation. I survived. Years later, I get a knock on the door from the police, they are investigating my ex for making snuff films and want to know what I knew. All this 20 years after the divorce. Took a long time, but I was vindicated. So do I believe her, yes. The world can be a cruel and ugly place. [/quote] And I know many women who are abusive, lie on the witness stand, and everything. It happens both ways. Sorry you hate men, but the reality is: there are scummy men and scummy women, and there are lying men and lying women. As long as you think "We must accept it is true" because it is an accusation you have set up a tyranny of injustice. Period. [/quote] Don't hate men, actually love men. I don't even waste energy on hating the ex any longer, he is just not worth it. I'm sorry you have crossed paths with abusive women, most women that claim abuse really are suffering. Judges are very good at discerning who is lying and who is telling the truth. That is why they are judges. Yes there are scummy men and women, this girl appears to be disclosing the scummy man who just happens to be her father. Unless she is one hell of a vindictive bitch and lying through her teeth, which in my opinion she is not, this guy is going to try putting the genie back in the bottle for now that the secrets are out, society will view him in a much different light. [/quote]
Original Message
I know there was a similar thread on this yesterday, but I think it was taken down because people had found and were posting the man's personal information.
Please don't have this thread taken down, while I'm only guessing that's the reason why, PLEASE DON'T POST PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE MAN MENTIONED
! It is gaining attention in the news and I'm sure others as well as myself would like to see what happens with this.
Brie Lybrand, New Orleans Beauty Guru, Posts Video Claiming She Was Raped By Her Father
When subscribers check to see Brie Lybrand's latest YouTube video, they're expecting to watch one of her typical, upbeat beauty and shopping tutorials. So when "The New Orleans Beauty Guru" posted her latest video entitled "A Message To My Rapist," the world took notice.
Lyrbrand, a former pageant star, appears shaken and makeup-free as she makes her unexpected announcement. "I just got an email from YouTube saying that the man who raped me for most of my life subscribed to me," she says with disgust. "The man that took my virginity, robbed me of an innocence has subscribed to me on YouTube and is watching my videos."

Here's her Twitter page, it looks like she's updating with some pics of what she's claiming to be proof:

She's also a professionally trained actress -
Mini Biography
Brie is a professionally trained actor and singer from New Orleans, LA. She received her Theatre degree from Tulane University, with a minor in History. Brie competed and held titles for Miss Louisiana, Miss Louisiana Teen, Miss Metairie, National American Miss, Miss Louisiana United States, and American Co-Ed. Calling Brie a "triple-threat" is a huge understatement.

Her father made a statement to his local newspaper claiming the accusations are false and he may be contacting the district attorney in Louisiana -

So, what do those on GLP think?

The most recent planning initiative is the Bellevue Transit Master Plan (TMP), which was adopted by City Council on July 7, 2014. The plan establishes scalable short- and long-term strategies and identifies projects that will foster a high-quality transit system to meet Bellevue's needs through 2030, connecting more people to more destinations in less time. Bus ridership in Bellevue increased by 144 percent between 2003 and 2013, as shown on the Trends in Transit page.
Substantial planning is currently underway related to the Sound Transit East Link light rail line, approved by voters in 2008, which will connect Seattle with downtown Bellevue, Bel-Red and Overlake.

Newtown Township
Board of Supervisors
Minutes of June 23, 2010
The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors met on June 23, 2010 in the Township meeting room at 7:30 PM. In attendance and voting were Supervisors: Chairman, Robert Ciervo, Vice Chairman Matthew Benchener, Secretary/Treasurer Jerry Schenkman and Philip Calabro and Michael Gallagher, member. Also present were: Joseph Czajkowski, Township Manager, Jeffrey Garton, Township Solicitor and Michele Fountain, Township Engineer.
Call to Order: Chairman Robert Ciervo called the regular meeting to order at 7:30 PM with a moment of silence. This was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Changes to the Agenda: Mr. Czajkowski said that the Zoning Hearing Board application of William and Susan Cunningham has been added to the Solicitor's Report.
Public Comment: Resident Jim Ott of 271 Stoopville Road said that he had attended the meeting earlier this evening to discuss Phase II of the Stoopville Road Improvement Project. He asked whether stormwater management would be part of the Phase II plans, as it was not included in the motion.
Dr. Ciervo said that the Township Manager will contact PennDOT as the drainage issues are a maintenance issue.
Resident Jay Sensibaugh thanked the Board for posting the 2010 budget on the Township Web site. He pointed to a difference in the amount of the general fund as presented at the November budget meeting and in the currently posted budget as the beginning balance. There is a difference of over $200,000 in the two numbers.
Mr. Czajkowski said that the number used in November to plan the budget is an estimate and the posted number is the amount estimated to be in the treasury on December 31, 2009. Part of the difference is that the Earned Income Tax is greater than had been anticipated.
Le Sheppard of Wrightstown Township thanked the Board working together with the Jointure partners at the meeting earlier this evening about Stoopville Road.
Minutes, Bills Lists and Reports
Minutes: Mr. Gallagher moved to accept the minutes of the work session of April 19, 2010. Mr. Schenkman seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Mr. Gallagher moved to accept the minutes of the work session of June 7, 2010. Mr. Schenkman seconded.

The motion passed 5-0.
Mr. Schenkman moved to accept the minutes of the regular meeting of May 26, 2010. Mr. Gallagher seconded and the motion passed 4-0-1, with Mr. Calabro abstaining.
Mr. Gallagher noted that this is Mr. Calabro's first time abstaining, as he has only missed one meeting as supervisor.
Bills: Mr. Schenkman moved to authorize payment of bills totaling $460,250.44. Mr. Benchener seconded.
Discussion of motion: Mr. Schenkman said that this list includes the entire disbursement to the Fire Association, totaling $251,409.57. He suggested asking a representative of the Fire Association to come to a meeting to discuss the distribution.
The Board members agreed to hold this distribution until after a Fire Association member has come to a Board meeting.
Mr. Schenkman amended his motion to pay bills totaling $460,250.44 less a fire association distribution of $251,409.57. Mr. Benchener amended his second.

The motion passed 5-0.
Reports of Committees, Boards and Commissions
Chairman: Dr. Ciervo announced the "Run over Cancer" a 5K run to benefit Pancreatic Cancer research to be held at 9:00 AM on Saturday, July 3, 2010 at Newtown Middle School. The event is part of Newtown's First Fourth celebration.
First Fourth Request: Dr. Ciervo said that the Board has received an-email request from the First Fourth Committee asking the Township to contribute to the fireworks at the First Fourth. The Township has not made its annual contribution to First Fourth, nor has the Township made its budgeted contribution of $16,000 to Newtown Corporation.
Mr. Benchener said that it was a tough decision to remove this contribution from the budget last December. The Township's financial picture has not changed since the contribution was removed. The Financial Planning Committee has been looking ahead at upcoming budget needs for the police and technology departments. He did not think the Township should make this contribution in light of the already tight budget. He urged residents to make private contributions.
Mr. Gallagher asked what amount is being requested.
Dr. Ciervo said that the original request was for $3000, but the committee is now asking for half of that amount.
Mr. Schenkman said that this will not be the first time the Township has missed fireworks. He suggested that in the future the Township consider combining its efforts with other municipalities. He agreed that this should be privately funded and indicated that he would make a personal contribution to the fund.
Mr. Calabro said that the Board had a very heated discussion on contributions at budget time. Removing fireworks was the easiest cut; they are nice but very fleeting. He would rather see any additional money go toward our libraries, which provide a lasting enjoyment. He also asked whether the Borough has made a contribution to the fireworks this year.
Mr. Gallagher moved to not make a contribution to the First Fourth fireworks. Mr. Schenkman seconded.
Discussion of motion: Mr. Benchener said that he did not think a formal motion is necessary to affirm an already passed budget. He again urged residents to make donations to the First Fourth fireworks fund.
The motion failed 2-0-3, with Messrs. Benchener, Ciervo and Gallagher abstaining.
Resolution in Opposition to Aria Hospital Construction in Lower Makefield: Mr. Benchener moved to adopt Resolution 2010-R10, a resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Newtown Township expressing its continued objection to the construction of a hospital at the intersection of Route 332 and Stony Hill Road in Lower Makefield Township. Dr. Ciervo seconded.
Discussion of motion: Mr. Schenkman asked whether there has been any recent activity on the Aria plans and if there is a reason to adopt the resolution now.
Mr. Benchener said that the Board has been following this issue for some time and had thought it should make a statement of support. Nothing in particular has changed to prompt the resolution at this time. He drafted the resolution with assistance from Mr. Garton.
Mr. Schenkman asked whether this resolution would require the Township to spend money or contribute financially.
Mr. Benchener said that financial contribution is not part of this resolution.
Mr. Garton said that at the time that Aria, then Frankford, Hospital filed an application to the Lower Makefield Zoning Hearing Board for a special exception to build the hospital, Lower Makefield, Newtown Township and a group of neighbors were parties to the application. Lower Makefield filed an appeal to the decision, and Newtown Township and the neighbors also intervened. The process has been delayed while the court decides whether that group of neighbors could intervene.
Mr. Calabro asked about any costs associated with the resolution.
Mr. Garton said only the cost of helping Mr. Benchener to write the resolution has been incurred.
Mr. Schenkman asked whether Lower Makefield has specifically requested a resolution.
Mr. Benchener said that he was prompted to draft the resolution because he wanted the Township to reaffirm its public stance in opposition because of the substantial negative impact the hospital will have on the residents of Newtown Township.
Dr. Ciervo noted that the hospital would significantly impact Newtown residents who are daily commuters on I95.
Irene Koehler of Lower Makefield said that the residents group in Lower Makefield has been granted status in the appeal. She thanked the Board for the resolution and for its help in opposing the hospital, which will have a negative impact on traffic twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. She said that the neighbors group, RAFR, feels this is the worst possible location in the County for a new hospital.
Zachary Rubin of Lower Makefield thanked the Board for the resolution. He said that the property is currently zoned office research. The applicant is required to show that the use will not impact traffic. He said that at the Zoning Hearing Board, Newtown Township was not allowed to bring witnesses to show plans for Newtown Township development. He also noted that the appellate process would not have high costs.
Steven Mosely of Lower Makefield said that the RAFR group has collected 1500 signatures of residents on a petition in opposition to the hospital's building plans. He said that the hospital is not needed. The existing Aria Hospital has recently laid off 100 employees. There is no demographic need for a new hospital and this plan will increase Lower Makefield residents' taxes. He thanked the Board for its support.
Michael Upton of Lower Makefield thanked the Board for considering the resolution. He said that the issue is regional and requires the efforts of the surrounding communities.
Resident John D'Aprile said that he questioned why Newtown Township is getting involved in a Lower Makefield zoning matter. He has concerns that Township money has been and will continue to be spent on this case. He said that Lower Makefield has not come to Newtown with its plans for other commercial development in the Stony Hill Road area, which has had similar traffic impact. Many Newtown residents would be supportive of a new hospital. The traffic caused by the hospital would not be as bad as traffic caused by Shady Brook farm's holiday events. He, as a resident, is opposed to the Township getting involved in this matter.
Dr. Ciervo said that Lower Makefield had asked Newtown, as a neighbor, to get involved. The Board had agreed and had been granted party status at the Zoning Hearing Board. The proposed hospital will have a more detrimental impact on Newtown residents than on Lower Makefield residents. Some Newtown residents have approached him expressing concern about the issue.
Mr. D'Aprile said that a portion of the resolution mentions the degradation of open space. He said that this is not open space, but as yet undeveloped land zoned for office research. At some point it will be developed. This is not Newtown's fight and he objected to the Township taking part in it.
Mr. Schenkman said that earlier this evening the Township participated in an intergovernmental action for the safety of all of the communities surrounding Newtown. He is pleased to continue an effort to support regional planning. The hospital is a non-profit which will be a burden to the community. We need to be careful about who is allowed to develop.
The motion passed 5-0.
Resolution Establishing a Pension Investment Policy: Mr. Benchener said that he and Mr. Schenkman, with the help of Jim McCrane of the Financial Planning Committee have drafted a new investment policy for the Township's three pension funds. The draft has also been discussed by the Financial Planning Committee.
Mr. Benchener moved to adopt Resolution 2010-R-11, a resolution establishing an investment policy for the Newtown Township Police, Non-Uniformed and Firefighters pensions. Mr. Schenkman seconded.
Discussion of motion: Mr. Gallagher said that as he reviews the contents of the proposed policy, which has only recently been provided to the Board, he has concerns that it could be too restrictive on the pension manager. The policy sets a goal for returns "not less than 8% over a full market cycle of three to five years," but the policy places restrictions on investments which could make it difficult to reach the goal. He thought the proposed market cycle was not long enough. The policy could force the pension manager to take risks. He also found some confusing language throughout the policy. Under "D: Core Investment Strategy" Mr. Gallagher noted that item #3, which states that the "manager may not invest in any of its company's, parent company's, or affiliate's proprietary funds or products" might be too restrictive. Also of concern is item #9, which states that "cash should only be used to prepare for pension payouts…or as a hedge against sharp downturns." Mr. Gallagher reminded the Board that some cash was deliberately not invested two years ago and protected the funds in advance of a market downturn.
Dr. Ciervo said that the current pension manager has stated that the current policy makes an 8% return unrealistic. Dr. Ciervo has concerns that this proposed new policy seems even more restrictive.
Mr. Schenkman disagreed. He said that the new policy is less restrictive because it allows more diversification; for example the current policy does restrict international investment.
Mr. Benchener agreed with Mr. Schenkman.
Dr. Ciervo said that he has many concerns about "D: Core Investment Strategy." He would like the Township to rely on its experts to manage the funds long term, providing that manager with a policy which allows flexibility. He does not object to a manager investing some portions of the funds in his company's own funds or products when they are good investments, for example.
Mr. Benchener suggested that the proposed policy is designed to minimize costs and not encourage the manager to maximize his own or his company's fees in the short term.
Mr. Schenkman said that perhaps the research done to develop this proposed policy should be shared with the entire Board of Supervisors. He said that of concern is that the Township's pensions are comparatively small and might not get the kind of attention from the manager that the Township would like and has not gotten in the past. By adopting a policy with many specific requirements, the manager will be held accountable and it gives the Township more control.
Dr. Ciervo suggested that the proposed policy should be reviewed by the current pension manager for his comment and input. He would not support a vote until the current manager has seen it. His concern is that the policy has a goal of 8% which the current manager might not be able to meet with the new policy's restrictions.
Mr. Benchener said that the policy has been designed to protect the Township and he did not agree that the current pension manager should have an opportunity to review it. The Township's Financial Planning Committee supports this policy.
Mr. Gallagher said that he felt the current pension manager has given the Township his attention. Finance Director Elaine Gibbs is in regular contact with the manager, who has attended quarterly meetings with the Pension Committee and is very actively managing our pension funds.
Mr. Benchener said that the Financial Planning Committee has concerns about the costs associated with managing the pension funds.
Dr. Ciervo again stressed that he is uncomfortable with proceeding until the current manager has confirmed that the goals can be met with the new policy.
Mr. Calabro said that he does not feel expert in this area but did have some concerns about the subjective nature of the proposed qualifications for a pension manager as outlined under "C: Management." Also of concern was the section of the policy dealing with investment in fixed income, allowing investment in residential and mortgage backed funds, as some of these funds were involved in the recent downturn of the economy.
Mr. Benchener said that he relied on the advice of Mr. McCrane, who is an expert in the bond field. These mortgage bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States and provide consistent returns.
Mr. Calabro said that he had some additional concerns with the policy; for example he agreed that not permitting the manager to invest in his own company's products could eliminate a conflict of interest but might also restrict the Township from some investment opportunities. He had some concern about the language in section "D: Core Investment Policy" particularly in item #9, which uses the words, "sharp downturn," which is vague. He questioned who would determine a sharp downturn.
The Board discussed the provision of the proposed policy which requires the pension manager to attend work session meetings. It was agreed that the work session might allow for more informal conversation but the policy does not prevent the manager from appearing to report on the pensions at a regular televised meeting.
The Board members discussed some confusion on the terms "total world (ex US)" and "international."
Mr. Benchener suggested reviewing all of the suggested changes and clarifications to the policy.
Mr. Gallagher moved to table consideration of the Pension Policy.
Mr. Gallagher said the Board had too many concerns and possible changes and alterations. He was not at ease with voting on the policy until those changes have been incorporated and each Board member has had additional time to consider the revisions.
Mr. Benchener seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Board Member Reports Continued: Mr. Gallagher reported that he has been actively working on a County project for a dog park and he is pleased to announce that the County Dog Park will open on Wednesday, July 7 at 5:00 PM at Core Creek Park at the Toll Gate Road entrance. The opening will be followed by the County Commissioners meeting in the park.
Joint Historic Committee: Mr. Czajkowski presented a letter of resignation from the Joint Historic Committee from member Neil Poppel.
Mr. Schenkman moved to accept with regret the resignation of Joint historic Committee member Neil Poppel. Mr. Gallagher seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Financial Planning Committee: Member Ryan Gallagher reported that the committee has been working on a number of projects recently including:
Mr. Benchener moved to appoint Robert Daries and Ian Franklin to the Financial Planning Committee for a one-year term. Mr. Gallagher seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
Historic Architectural Review Board: Member Doug Terry and Denise Queeny were in attendance to review an application for a certificate of appropriateness for in-kind repainting of the exterior of 1 South Sycamore Street and refinishing of the garages at this location.
Mr. Gallagher asked whether the HARB approved the wood finish on the garages, as they appeared more rustic than the prior finish.
Mr. Terry said that the finish was acceptable. He also noted that the apartment building will be repainted in the same yellow color with white trim.
In response to Mr. Calabro's question, Ms. Queeny said that the signage on the garages has been removed.
Mr. Schenkman moved to authorize a certificate of appropriateness for 1 South Sycamore Street as outlined in a memo dated June 14, 2010. Mr. Benchener seconded and the motion passed 4-1, with Mr. Gallagher voting nay.
Mr. Terry provided the Board with a book of design guidelines recently compiled by HARB member Harriet Beckert. He said that Mrs. Beckert would like input from the Board before finalizing the design guide.
Manager's Report
Police Report: Police Chief Henry Pasqualini reported that the Department has responded to 1546 calls for service this month, including 2 drug arrests, 8 fraud investigations and 30 traffic accidents. There were two struck pedestrians on Sycamore Street. He stressed the need for an education program to protect motorists and pedestrians from these accidents. The Township is working with the Borough, using signage, lights and speaking to drivers and pedestrians.
Mr. Calabro said that some drivers do not realize that they must always yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks.
Chief Pasqualini again said that this is an educational process as more and more people are walking and crossing the streets and sharing the roads with cars.
Dr. Ciervo asked about a recent incident involving child pornography.
Chief Pasqualini said that the person involved is being deported and is no longer in our community. He will keep the Board informed on the progress of the deportation.
Mr. Calabro asked about the missing person reports.
Chief Pasqualini said that some of the cases involved people with dementia who had wandered from home and some were young teens who did not return home when expected. All five of the missing persons were located unharmed.
Solicitor's Report
Zoning Hearing Board Applications
Application of William and Susan Cunningham, 539 Taylor Avenue: William and Susan Cunningham were in attendance to review their application to the Zoning Hearing Board for a variance to increase impervious surface to 30.42% to widen their driveway. The Codes Department has noted that although the property is zoned R-2, with a maximum impervious surface of 13% permitted, the Newtown Estates final plan permits 30% impervious surface per lot and the current impervious surface is 26.19%. Mr. Cunningham said that there is already crushed stone on his driveway. He would like to pave it to provide space for two cars.
Dr. Ciervo asked Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham the exact location of their house in relation to Norwood Avenue. He asked if this plan has been discussed with the neighbors, noting that neighbors of a previous Taylor Avenue resident had objected to an increase in impervious surface.
Mr. Cunningham pointed to his lot on the map included with the application. His neighbors are supportive of the plan. He will provide copies of letters of support to the Zoning Hearing Board.
Mr. Gallagher said that the Planning Commission had discussed stormwater management for this application.
Mr. Schenkman said that the Board of Supervisors would ask the applicant to consider addressing the increase in run off.
Mr. Cunningham said that he will consider this and investigate a rain barrel or rain garden plantings.
The Board had no further comment on this application.
West 85 th LLC, Baylinks Golf, 8 Pheasant Run: Martha Murray was in attendance to review this application to the Zoning Hearing Board for a variance to permit operation of use C-6, athletic facility on a 3.2 acre parcel where 5 acres is the minimum lot size required. Ms. Murray provided some promotional literature and explained that she proposes a four bay, indoor facility for high definition golf simulators.
Mr. Schenkman said that the proposed use is not directly addressed in our Zoning Ordinance and use C-6 seems to fit most closely.
Mr. Gallagher asked about sale of food and drink as depicted in the literature provided.
Ms. Murray said that each bay would feature a counter top with stools for groups to watch the golfers. Vending machines would provide some soft drinks and packaged snacks. There will not be a separate eating area. In response to Mr. Schenkman's question, she said that in the business plan, food sales are expected to break even; snacks would be available as a convenience to the users.
Mr. Garton said that the Zoning Officer has already reviewed the application; food sales are an incidental accessory.
Mr. Schenkman said that the Newtown Business Commons Association has been looking into a long term strategic plan for the Commons. Indoor sports facilities should be considered as a permitted use when reviewing the zoning.
The Board had no further comment on this application.
Approval of Council Rock School District Waiver of Land Development Agreement: Mr. Garton reminded the Board that a year ago it had approved a waiver of land development for installation of a synthetic field at Council Rock High School North. The District delayed construction to allow use of the field during the 2009/10 sports seasons, but intends to begin the process of installation now. The Board is being asked to approve the agreement at this time.
Mr. Gallagher moved to approve the waiver of land development for a synthetic field at Council Rock High School North. Dr. Ciervo seconded.
Discussion of motion: In response to Dr. Ciervo's question, Mr. Garton said that the Township would not lose any fees because this is a change in an existing facility.
The motion passed 5-0.
Newtown Township Traffic Committee: Mr. Benchener moved to adopt Resolution 2010-R-11, establishing a Newtown Township Traffic Committee. Mr. Gallagher seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
JMZO 2010-01 Amending the Federal Cemetery Overlay District: Mr. Garton said that this amendment has been duly advertised for adoption and has already been adopted by Wrightstown and Upper Makefield. It removes all but the Federal Cemetery and the County owned open space from the FCO zoning district.
Dr. Ciervo moved to adopt JMZO amendment 2010-01 amending the Federal Cemetery Overlay District. Mr. Gallagher seconded.
Discussion of motion: Dr. Ciervo said that Newtown Township had originally proposed only removing Newtown's parcels from the FCO. Through ongoing discussions with the Jointure partners the amendment was changed to remove all but the Cemetery and County open space. The adoption of this amendment will not impact any already approved plans on these parcels, but should those plans fall through, the land will revert to its original Conservation Management zoning.
Wrightstown resident Le Sheppard said that he is pleased that the Jointure has worked together to create this amendment.
Mr. Schenkman said that the process has worked well; the Cemetery is here and we have gotten the stimulus money to improve Stoopville Road. The other zoning changes in the original FCO amendment are no longer necessary.
The motion passed 5-0.
JMZO Ordinance 2010-02, Municipal Services Agricultural Overlay District: Mr. Garton explained that this amendment will create an overlay at Wrightstown's Chippewa Farm property and addresses some practical needs as related to setbacks and impervious surface ratios in order for Wrightstown to better use the property.
Wrightstown Township Supervisor Chairman Chester Pogonowski said that the amendment will allow Wrightstown subdivide 12 acres from the existing 62 acre parcel. Three small lots for the existing buildings will be created. Those buildings will be adapted for private uses and Wrightstown will maintain the remaining 50 acres as open space.
Mr. Garton said this amendment has been discussed and reviewed at the Jointure; the Township is being asked to authorize advertisement.
Mr. Benchener moved to authorize advertisement of JMZO 2010-2, Municipal Services Agricultural Overlay District. Mr. Gallagher seconded.
Discussion of motion: Mr. Gallagher said that Newtown's Planning Commission had some questions about proposed 5 foot setbacks.
Mr. Pogonowski said that the ordinance is trying to accommodate existing setbacks between the buildings.
He motion passed 5-0.
Public Comment
Mr. Sheppard again complimented the Board on its efforts to work for the good of the entire community. He has recently spoken to State Senator Scott Petri about government "without borders" working together regionally.
Old Business
Mr. Calabro asked the Township Manager to investigate residents' complaints about the weeds in the median planters on Stoopville Road.
Mr. Benchener asked for an update on crossing signals with countdowns to replace the walk/don't walk silhouettes.
Mr. Czajkowski said that these signs cost about $10,000. They can be paid through TSA funds.
New Business
Mr. Gallagher said that he would like signage to require quarry trucks to stay in the right lane on the Bypass, as he has recently witnessed a number of traffic back-ups caused by pairs of trucks driving side by side.
Mr. Czajkowski said that such signage would require PennDOT approval.
Dr. Ciervo said that the Township's Skate Park fund has recently received a $500 contribution from Newtown Borough. Upper Makefield has also made a contribution.
Mr. Garton announced that the Board had met in executive session prior to the meeting to discuss a matter of litigation.
Dr. Ciervo announced that the Board would remain after the meeting for an additional executive session to discuss litigation and personnel matters.
Mr. Benchener moved to re-introduce discussion of the pension investment policy. The motion failed due to lack of a second.
The meeting adjourned at 10:50 PM.

The group has launched a Kickstarter drive to raise $50,000. The Brentwood Theater Company rents performing venues for each show the company produces. While ticket sales, program ads and sponsorships provide revenue to put on a show, renting the performing spaces beyond the actual dates of a production is prohibitive, said Jack Gaughan, producer. A theater company needs a place in which to prepare for the plays, hold auditions, store costumes, props, set pieces and other show items and teach classes, he said, noting the group hopes to find an appropriate space where it can sign a lease with options.
"Once we open the facility (BTC Hall), we will continue to raise funds for the ultimate goal of building the Brentwood Playhouse, a performing arts space to host our multigenerational, multiethnic company and others that are hurting for an affordable performance space," Gaughan said. "Rentals to other theater companies will help offset the cost of utilities and solidify and enhance our reputation in the performing arts community."

Talk:Les nuits d'été, H 81 (Berlioz, Hector)
Hello everybody,
1) I've met a problem with the PDF: it can't be open with "Sumatra", and when using "Foxit" it can be read but at a certain moment (or perhaps when reaching around page 35), there is a message that "Foxit" must close, and it closes indeed. But it has been scanned by "Unknown"... In fact, I've had the same problem with "La mort d'Ophelie", which has been scanned by "Unknown" too.
2) There are two main versions for voice and piano: high voices and low voices. The scanned works seemingly belong to the 2nd version. The 1st version was written for Mezzo-soprano or tenor and in keys which differ from the second version: There are respectively:
A major, D major, G minor, F sharp major, D major and F major
in the first version, while they are (in the scan and certainly the 2nd version)
F major, B major, F minor, E flat major, B flat major and D major.
I hope someone of us has the 1rst version and will kindly scan it.
Thank you for reading my hopefully readable english.
- * * * *
There is another point about Berlioz. In order to typeset with Lilypond "Les Nuits d'été" of which I have found some ".jpg" on a web site called "The Berlioz song site", I've asked the owner of the site about copyright. He answered me as follows:
"As far as the copyright is concerned, my version comes from a set of miniature scores in my possession - a complete set of Berlioz's songs in 6 volumes published by Kalmus, New York, but unfortunately not bearing a publication date. By the look of them, I would say they are at least 50 years old and maybe 100."
After transmitting this information to one of the persons in charge of Mutopia project, I've been answered as follows:
"Regarding the Berlioz pieces, I don't think the Kalmus edition is out of copyright (at least in the USA) since Kalmus only started publishing in 1926 which is relatively recent in copyright terms. I'm afraid lack of a publication date is no guarantee at all that the pieces are public domain."
Is there someone who knows wether there are out of copyright or not. Because "a complete set of Berlioz's songs in 6 volumes" would be very interesting, wouldn't it be?
Thanks for your reply.
- Hi.
- 1.) The file loads fine with Acrobat 9.0. I can't guarantee that files created with Acrobat 9.0 Pro will load with other 3rd party PDF viewers, but the file itself is intact.
- 2.) As to the 2 versions, perhaps our resident expert pml can answer this better than I.
- If the user's scans are from a Kalmus, and of Berlioz, then they are most certainly public domain everywhere in the world. Kalmus is a reprinter first and foremost. The Kalmus is likely reprinting the old Choudens or Costallat score, maybe even re-engraved, but not likely. Daphnis 08:30, 4 February 2009 (EST)
- Yes, this is the original version for Low Voice and piano. I'll add the keys and make it clear on the page. Operalala 20:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

A little while ago we were contacted by Dan Cox, the PR guy for Seed, an organic, eco-friendly vegan/macrobiotic restaurant. He invited us to come by and enjoy a meal on him. Aren't we lucky little food bloggers?
Seed is located on Pacific Avenue in Venice. It is a cute, little cafe-type restaurant. Here is a picture of the outside:
And a few shots of the inside:
The first thing Lynn noticed was there wasn't a public restroom. This was a big problem, because Lynn ALWAYS has to use the bathroom.
Lynn exhibiting excellent bladder control and waiting patiently for her food…
and a cute dog waiting for his owners…
The menu is what we would call contemporary macrobiotics. In addition to the traditional ingredients you might see in macrobiotics (tempeh, seaweed, brown rice and veggies), these dishes had a hip take to them (see some of our choices below). Somewhat similar to M Cafe, but we actually found Seed to be more traditional in its adherence to macrobiotics. (The chef, Eric Lechasseur, was actually the opening chef at M Cafe.) Seed is also slightly less expensive.
At the table where we sat there were the following condiment jars:
What was great is that each one had a description on the back, plus the health benefits. Macrobiotics doesn't use the typical salt and pepper seasonings since the aim of the diet is easy and proper digestion. So their condiments are things like Shiso Powder (below) which is a dried powder from an ume plum; it is actually extremely salty in taste. This plum helps with digestion, evens blood sugar levels, and clears hangovers too!
Christy in action:
The guy at the counter, Bill, helped us order. For dinner we had:
The Summer Special: Cold Soba Noodle salad ($10.95)
C: I liked this one. I thought it was light and the flavors mixed well. I loved the combination of the ingredients – the cucumbers gave it a nice crunch, the seaweed was sufficiently soaked so it was not tough to eat, and the sprouts, carrots and daikon gave it a good texture. I don't love mushrooms so I gave them to Lynn.
L: This was pretty good – the wakame seaweed, shitake, and daikon sprouts were so beautiful! I could've used more flavor, though. I sprinkled one of the condiments on but I can't remember which one!
The Seed Chop-Chop Salad ($9.95):
C: This reminded me of a cobb salad, but of course the ingredients were all vegan. The dressing was creamy but not too heavy. And I liked the crunch of the cabbage. This is a great summer/beach salad.
L: This was really good – the lettuce came already dressed; I wish it had been on the side so we could control the amount. The combo of flavors was really tasty – I especially liked the fried tempeh and roasted almonds. I never eat whole almonds in my salads but this has converted me.
The Southwest burger ($9.95)
C: This was a good burger choice for me since I prefer veggie burgers made out of beans and grain. This was also my favorite dish of the evening. The bread was toasted so well. The burger was flavorful and the guacamole was awesome. My father-in-law is a meat eater who generally would not enjoy this type of restaurant but I could totally bring him here, get him this burger, and he would be really happy. It tasted great! And I took the side slaw and added it to my soba noodles.
L: I eat a lot of veggie burgers, and this is a really really really really really good one – we got it without soy cheese but it was still plenty delish. The bread and the burger formed a highly mouth pleasing texture – crunchy and chewy at the same time. The ancho chili spread and guacamole just added life to the party, and the burger itself was very hearty. I, however, did not care for the slaw. A bit too blah for me and I wasn't too pleased with the raw, red cabbage – sour!
The Mango Tango ($11.95)
C: I wasn't crazy about this one. No particular reason, the ingredients are great; it just didn't strike my fancy. The mango salsa was good though.
L: Obviously Christy and I are from different planets because I really liked this – it was a crunchy egg roll. You know how I love my egg rolls! The cabbage and seitan were perfectly cooked inside and I liked how the broccoli was served plain and steamed to balance the dish out. Add some mango salsa for sweetness, and I had a very happy tongue.
This is Christy's plate (plus I had seconds on the burger):
Lynn's plate (plus seconds on the Chop Chop salad and Mango Tango):
For dessert they had a bunch of options. They also had cookies and cupcakes in another case.
All of them looked great, but we chose Madonna's Coconut Mousse – yes, the real Madonna -($5.00)
And the tiramisu ($5.00) because it is one of the customer faves:
C: I will be honest, the desserts were not my favorite. But I am more of a cookie person anyway. Maybe I will try that the next time I come. And as Lynn said, "If my favorite dessert was tiramisu and I was a vegan, I would be totally pumped about this."
L: I DID say that – why do I say such dorky things? I'm not a tiramisu fan in general, so of course a vegan version isn't going to win me over. Madonna, I love you, but I didn't love your mousse. That said, I was glad that all the desserts were sweetened with maple and/or brown rice.
C: Here are the leftovers I took home with me – boy oh boy is my husband going to be excited!!!!
L: I took back the rest of the burger, the Mango Tango, and Madonna….er, her mousse.
Thanks to Bill for taking such good care of us, to Dan for picking up the check – and thank you to Seed for making macrobiotics so easy and tasty!

how to use ITASoftware.com
Wed, 04/14/2010 - 11:13
Click here > http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/
Click "Month Long Search"
Click either One Way, or Round Trip. (See thread at top of Cheap Flights forum on Visa Entry Requirements especially if considering one-way). It can do multi-city, but only when you choose the Specific Dates option. This also allows you to check +/- 1 day. A round trip search with multiple cities input sometimes turns up a multi-city result—keep reading for that….
Type either city name or airport code in the From and To boxes. You can search several at the same time if you connect them with no spaces and semicolon. For example from Sioux Falls;Boise;Cedar Rapids to: Munich;London;Brussels;Kiev Likewise, if you know airport codes you could do from FSD;BOI;CID to MUC;LON;BRU;IEV. The more you stack, the greater the chance it might miss a (good) fare combination, so don't over-do it. They do not need to be capitalized.
Choose your start date—the absolute earliest date you could consider departure—and your length of stay.
Click Go.
Note: ITA does not do bookings! They search fare combinations that standard flight searches don't always find, and make fare fluctuations over a month-long window very obvious.
To book, try the exact same dates and cities with 1) the airline(s), 2) Orbitz, 3) other booking engines—Kayak or Cfares if it's a multi-city itinerary; BookingBuddy and consolidators listed in our New User Thread (top of Cheap Flights forum) if it's a simple round trip.
Note that ITA sometimes finds stuff that just does not turn up elsewhere. This could be due to human error on fare data submitted to them by airlines, or seats sold out since latest availability update, or sometimes airlines just not allocating seats on a fare that they have filed.
ITA also shows code shares that might be cheaper to book. Code share= book a ticket from Airline A, actually fly it on their partner Airline B. For example, recently I've noticed KLM cheaper on some transatlantic flights to places that I know KLM does not fly to (KLM's hub is AMS), but they're cheaper to buy from KLM even though you'll actually fly on Delta.
ITA does not require membership or software downloads to use it's free search.
Wed, 04/14/2010 - 11:28#1
By the way, http://www.farecompa… is also a good fare tool to start with. I sometimes use it first and then search for the cheapest cities with ITA to find more available dates. Farecompare suffers from the same pitfalls, however — sometimes prices filed incorrectly by the airline(s); sometimes sold out since last update; sometimes seats not allocated by an airline on a price that they filed with ITA, Farecompare, et. al.
ITA and Farecompare are good tools to use, but keep shopping around. Once you find the cities and dates that seem to work best for you, also run them through consolidators and meta-searches such as BookingBuddy to be sure you have the best deal. Armed with this info, you might then try Priceline or Skyauction if you are comfortable with their terms. (See BiddingforTravel.com for Priceline winning bids and strategies).
Remember that flexibility is key! And that low-season—Nov-Mar, except around Christmas— is the cheapest time to travel (it's also the coldest and darkest!).

The second-largest U.S. maker of consumer paper products said prices for bathroom tissue, paper towels and napkins will be increased effective July 11. Facial tissue prices will rise beginning Aug. 29.
The Irving, Texas-based company said the increases are necessary to offset inflated raw-material costs, particularly for fiber, as well as higher energy costs.
U.S. benchmark pulp prices have risen about 27 percent since the beginning of last year.
Kimberly-Clark said net sales of its consumer tissue products in the United States totaled more than $2 billion in 2003.
With annual revenue of $14.35 billion last year, Kimberly-Clark also makes Cottonelle bathroom tissue, as well as personal-care items such as Huggies diapers and Kotex feminine hygiene products.
Shares of Kimberly-Clark inched up 11 cents to close at $60.44 yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange.
Bloomberg News contributed to this report.

The third season of A&E's real-life series Shipping Wars (that features uShip) kicks into high gear next week – Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 10/9c. For Shipping Wars die-hards, note the episodes have moved to Wednesday from the usual Tuesday slot.
Marc, Jarrett, Jennifer, Roy, Chris and Robbie once again tackle some of the strangest and challenging loads getting shipped today. The season premiere has Jennifer and Roy teaming up to give a customer a bunch of bull — rodeo bulls, that is – and throughout the 10-episode season they'll also ship a houseboat and human-sized hamster wheel, to go along with the everyday challenges they face while on the road.
When it comes to shipping valuables, check out this video of the cast talking about their most expensive shipments, including the $675,000 Indy show car shipped by Jarrett and the priceless pup that inspired Robbie and Chris to get their American Golden Retriever, Jixxer.
Free Episode Recaps
If you missed Season 2 – and you can't wait for it to show up on Netflix or DVD like Season 1, browse our episode recaps here. We'll be doing the same type of recaps for Season 3 — a brief summary of the shipment and circumstances, bidding and final pricing, particularly funny or noteworthy comments or moments, and item details.

MALVERN - Coming into Saturday night's playoff opener in Malvern, Caldwell Highhad never tasted victory in a postseason game despite winning some 444 games in its more than 100 years of existence.
That all changed in dramatic fashion as Bricker Lori raced 38 yards for the game-winning score with just over a minute to play as the No. 6-seeded Redskins upset the No. 3- seeded Hornets 28-21 in Division VII, Region 25 playoff action to advance to the second round.
With the game tied 21-21, Lori took a pitch from quarterback Tanner Clark on a quarterback option play and beat the Hornet defense around the corner before sprinting untouched into the end zone for what proved to be the game-winning score.
"We changed our formation so that we would have them outmanned on that side of the field," said Redskins head coach Josh Perkins of the game winning play. "It takes 11(players) to run it, and 11 ran it to perfection and you give 29 (Lori) the ball, you know what he is capable of."
The Skins finished the season by winning their final six games and displayed some confidence early on to take a 14-0 lead over the favored Hornets in the first quarter.
A big 44-yard pass-and-run on third down from Clark to Tanner Baker set up an 11-yard touchdown connection from the same duo to give the black, red and white the early lead while silencing the Hornet crowd as well.

Next game Caldwell vs. Shadyside in Zanesville Saturday at 7 p.m.
Caldwell struck again with less than a minute to play in the opening quarter when the left-handed throwing Clark hit Johnny Carpenter in stride, and Carpenter raced 39 yards into the end zone for the 14-0 lead.
The Redskins knew coming into the game that if they were to have any chance at victory they would need to contain All-Ohio running back Cobin Plessinger.
Plessinger came into the game with 1,779 and 21 touchdowns on the season while rushing for a 100 yards or better in every single Hornet game.
The Skins defense was up to the task in the first half as it limited Plessinger to just 64 yards on 16 carries.
With the Redskin defense keying on Plessinger, Hornet quarterback Trey Tucci took things into his own hands as he found Mitchell Haasz in the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to cut the Caldwell lead in half.
"Our game plan coming in was if they are going to beat us they are going to have to beat us passing because we are not going to let them run one into the end zone," said Perkins. "They got one from short yardage later on but our kids did a great job."
Malvern opened the second half with a 65-yard, 12-play drive sparked by a 22-yard pass from Tucci to Jalen Graves with Plessinger finally striking pay dirt from a yard out to knot the game at 14-14.
The tie would last all of four minutes as Clark put the Redskins back in front with a 38-yard keeper down the sidelines for a 21-14 Redskin lead.
"We got the passing game going early on and I think that helped us break a couple of big plays," said Clark of his run.
The Hornets came charging right back as the combination of Tucci and Haasz struck again this time on a 40-yard touchdown pass to tie the game once again at 21-21.
Both teams exchanged punts before Caldwell took over possession with 2:44 to play in the game and 56 yards to go for the win.
Lori opened the drive with an 11-yard run and after Clark was sacked for a loss and then fired an incomplete pass, a 14-yard screen pass to Lori moved the ball to the 38 to set up the game winning play.
Clark took the snap and sprinted to his right before pitching the ball to Lori who took it the rest of the way and when Jason Allen made good on the extra point the Skins were a minute away from the biggest win in school history.
Malvern took over on its own 36-yard line and after Tucci's first pass fell incomplete, Caldwell defenders Austin Schockling and Kameron Rayner brought down Tucci for a sack and an 11-yard loss.
Tucci threw another incomplete pass on third-and-long and then attempted to run on fourth down only to be brought down well short of the first down marker by the Skins defense to seal the victory.
"It means everything to be able to get this win for the team, the coaches and the community," said Carpenter.
"We've had a lot of players and coaches that have made the playoffs and haven't been able to win the game so its great to bring it back to them because they deserve it."
Lori finished the game with 116 yards on 18 carries, his sixth straight 100-yard rushing performance, while Clark rushed for 98 yards on 19 touches while completing 7-of-13 pass attempts for 140 yards and the two touchdowns.
Defensively the Redskin defense limited Plessinger to 105 yards on 29 carries, his lowest rushing total in a single game this season.
Senior Andrew Minosky and Rayner led the Redskin defense as they were involved in 23 and 20 tackles, respectively.
"Plessinger is definitely an all-state running back who is going to have a bright future ahead of him," said Perkins. "I told them to play like an all-state defense and we sure did tonight."
The Redskins will play undefeated and No. 2-seeded Shadyside at 7 p.m. Saturday night in New Philadelphia.
