Very pretty small charming 45 sq.m apartment in the heart of the Latin Quarter. It can be rented for 4 guests (one double bed and one sofa bed sleeping 2), on the 2nd floor of a typical 17th century building along a calm sunny road in the historic, artistic and literary quarter of Paris. Just 5 minutes on foot from Notre Dame and Saint Germain des Prés, close to the Saint Michel metro and many bus routes. An ideal starting point to discover the exceedingly beautiful cultural and tourist hotspots of the capital city. Numerous cafés, restaurants, cinemas, art galleries and shops nearby.
If you've read any of the other reviews, you'll note how guests rave about hosts Marc and Mina. They are gracious, tremendously helpful, and most entertaining (Marc's piano as well as their sense of humor). My wife and I enjoyed the relative peace and quiet of the off-season for a week, and would HIGHLY recommend both the apartment and hosts to friends and family as long as steps in a historic building are acceptable. The listing is accurate, and perhaps a bit understated in some respects. The apartment is efficiently laid out to provide a bright, open living/dining area with large windows. It is warm and cozy and secure, but with good natural cross ventilation as well has a small version of everything you might want, including ironing board, cloths washer, etc. It is comfortable, clean, and VERY well cared for. Location is key, being a block from St Michel Square. Marc and Mina know all the local shops and attractions, and are a willing resource should you have any questions. Being just a few blocks from tourist destinations was great, but being so close to Paris's fabulous transit system was equally superb. Walk or ride, it's your choice. There is a small grocery as well a local fruit market close by, along with a variety of local pubs, cafes and patisseries. We're looking forward to returning to Paris, and will certainly stay here again!
For a long time it has been a dream of mine to spend a month in the most beautiful city in the world, Paris! What made it all the more special was this amazing apartment and the kindness of Marc and Mina who made me feel totally welcome. The apartment has all the charm of a true French flat while at the same time including every amenity needed to make one's stay extremely comfortable. The location is superb. Imagine every morning being able to walk past the beautiful St. Michel water fountain and then to see Notre Dame in the distance. A metro station is at the end of the street to take you anywhere in Paris but so many museums are within walking distance. As well, the metro station near the water fountain connects you with the train to the airport. Finally, when you feel there can't be anything to make it even more perfect you are welcomed by the kindest of hosts Marc and Mina. They were on hand to help with any questions I had and were such a pleasure to get to know. I truly feel I have made new friends. I am already counting the days until I can return to Paris and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else!
My husband and I really enjoyed our 4 night stay here. It was so much fun to stay in an old (300 years) and yet comfortable space with ancient stone staircase (easily climbed it is wide) and the high ceiling and large windows allowing a sense of space and light and air so never a sense of being closed in. It overlooks a small street which although ancient is very vibrant and contemporary.
The location is excellent a few steps from the St Michel metro and a walk to many famous museums and churches.
We would choose this again if we are lucky enough to return to this magical city.
Great location in St. Germaine close to subway station but on a quiet side street! The apartment was perfect for my husband and I and was tastefully furnished and had all amenities. Would highly recommend and will try to rent this apartment again for a future trip!
Place was quiet and well located. It was just as it appears in the pictures. Nice place to come home to after walking all day.
My husband and I came to Paris for one week to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We had the most wonderful time taking in the world's best art, food and architecture of this romantic city and loved walking home each night to this charming historic apartment. The location is ideal and literally walking distance to all major attractions. We bought 10 metro tickets for the week and didn't use them all! Took the RER to and from Charles de Gaulle Airport and walked to the apartment. Super convenient. One of the reasons we chose this particular apartment was because of the many positive reviews it received not only for the apartment, but also for the owners. To our delight neither were exaggerations. The apartment was clean, comfortable and very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Bed was comfortable and wifi worked great. Even enjoyed watched some of the Olympics on the TV. Didn't think for such a short trip we'd use the washing machine but we did and came home with all clean clothes. Although our contact with the owners was limited to being greeted by Mina (she and Marc left for vacation shortly after we arrived), she was very friendly, informative and accommodating of our morning arrival. This meant a lot to us as we had a full day extra to explore the city without worry of what to do with our luggage. She stayed in touch with us via email while they were away and promptly answered any small enquires we had. One week was too short and we look forward to returning.

Value of Vintage Action Comics
by Christopher Tanis and Ashley Cotter-Cairns
Action does not need (or should not need) an introduction, yet here is just that. Simply, Action is the most important comic book in history. There, that was easy, wasn't it? Oh, you want to know why?
Well, how about the fact that Action #1 introduced Superman? How about the fact that Action #1 is generally recognized as the genesis of the Golden Age of comics? How about the fact that a copy of Action #1 in VF/NM condition sold for more than $3,000,000?
Yes, that was the right number of zeroes. Three. Million. Bucks. I thought that would get your attention.
We just unearthed this never-before-offered copy of Action Comics #7.
Only the second time Superman appeared on a comic book cover.
We paid $40,000 for this book!
What do YOU have in your attic or basement?
Superman was introduced in Action #1, a character who goes way beyond the tradition notions of "comic book character." Along with Batman, ol' Supes is the most recognizable fictional character in the world.
Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's new idea for a "super-hero" was incredibly modern, in every sense of the word. Coming from another planet, Krypton, which had been doomed to destruction, young Kal-El (then "Kal-L") was sent to earth.
There he found by Ma and Pa Kent out in Smallville, grew to manhood, and took his secret identity as Clark Kent to the big city, Metropolis, to be a reporter for the Daily Star (later the Daily Planet).

If you have a copy of Action Comics #1, even if it's in bad shape, it's worth a mint. Well, half a mint, anyway. Copies of Action #1 can approach six figures even in battered condition, since there are so few of them around.
Siegel, Shuster, Superman. 1938. Two million bucks. That's really all you need to know. A Zatara story, a few mysteries and adventures, a boxing story, and a story about Marco Polo. Is anyone interested in those? Thought not.

Action #6 doesn't even feature Superman on the cover, but is nonetheless worth quite a hefty sum to collectors. It is the first appearance of Jimmy Olsen. Yes, Superman's pal, cub reporter and general exclaimer of "Gosh, Mr. Kent!" Copies of Action #6 are just plain historic. Can you dig it?
This issue also features all the other characters that you certainly don't care about, since it was still an anthology. DC hadn't yet figured out that they ought to put ol' Supes on the cover every month. Sheesh!

In his earliest appearances, Superman doesn't fly. In this issue, he is first shown using his ability to "leap over tall buildings in a single bound!"
Supes wouldn't gain the power of "flight" as such for another couple of years, and then mostly at the urging of the Fleischer Bros. Studios, who were by then making a series of fantastic Superman cartoons in full color. If you haven't seen the cartoons, do yourself a favor and watch them all.
Siegel and Shuster and the usual stuff all apply to Action #13. Shuster, who suffered from failing eyesight, had help from Jack Cassidy on pencils in this issue, but did the cover by himself.

So, Superman has powers, yes? Well, unlike today, when you get to know all of some new hero's powers all at once, with Superman, they came in dribs and drabs, as the gang at DC thought of them.
In Action #18, Superman uses his X-Ray Vision for noble purposes, helping Senator Hastings, who'd been set up by some dastardly blackmailers.
The cover, which is the last issue of Action Comics that does not feature Superman, is pleasantly undistinguished work by Fred Guardineer.

Action #23 introduces one of the Man of Steel's main nemeses, namely Luthor.
The "Lex" wouldn't come until later, but for now, what's important is this: Luthor kidnaps Lois, then uses a mysterious green ray against Superman, which weakens him.
A precursor to Kryptonite, you say? Could be. Kryptonite wasn't introduced until 1943, and even then it was first mentioned in the Superman radio program, and as a continuity device to allow Bud Collyer, the voice of Superman, to have a break.

Well into the Silver Age, and some things that we have long considered staples of Superman's world are still being introduced. In Action #241, writer Jerry Coleman and artist Wayne Boring trot out one of the more important ones: the Fortress of Solitude.
So, this issue isn't super-high in value, but it does have a giant cake, baked by Batman. And that's got to be worth something.

Superman isn't just a New York superhero (indeed, it's hard to say what city "Metropolis" is supposed to stand in for--perhaps Philadelphia?), and he isn't just an American superhero, or even a superhero of the world. He is a superhero of the galaxy, of the cosmos, of the entirety of all who live in the known universe and beyond.
Sounds kinda godlike, huh? That messiah vibe wasn't lost on the makers of the most recent Superman reboots, Superman Returns and Man of Steel. It's not an easy job being the most powerful fellow on this or any other planet, and makes for some dull stories (especially once you've been through the whole "Kryptonite" thing) unless you really juice them up with difficult moral choices and make the godlike being as "human" as a Kryptonian can be.
Are you convinced now as to why the dude in the red and blue tights with the cape is important? So, back to Action. The series debuted in June of 1938 as an anthology comic, and Siegel and Shuster's idea for our favorite son of the ol' Krypton somehow ended up as the cover story.
The story goes that then-DC publisher Harry Donenfeld thought that the Superman story in Action #1 was "ridiculous," and forbid the character from ever appearing on the cover again. Of course, time and the actual sales data showed that Supes was the reason for all the sales of that issue, and so Donenfeld went the way of the money, as all publishers must eventually go.
The rest is, really, history. Superman would appear in every issue of Action Comics thereafter, although not always on the cover until #19.
Sure, some other characters had appeared in Action along with Supes in the early days, including Zatara, the magician (who?), along with such incredibly memorable ones as Tex Thompson (later the Americommando), the Vigilante, and Hayfoot Henry, the comedic and poetic copper who solved both crimes and rhymes. Not joking.
The anthology format would hold for quite some time, even after Superman was the acknowledged star of the series, all the way until the 1950s, when the title became known forever more as a Superman title, just as Detective Comics became known as a Batman title.
Volume 1 of Action ended in 2011, with Action #904. Yes, #904. Nine hundred and four issues of the fellow with the blue long johns and the red blanket tied around his neck.
Think about that for a while. 73 years of Superman. The mind boggles.

I'm at the TechCrunch50 show where Google and Microsoft yesterday announced new visual interfaces for news and image search, respectively. Today, I'm on the hunt for interesting mobile & local companies.
One that just demoed, City Sourced, falls into this bucket, giving users a chance to report local crime and vandalism. The way this works is through an iPhone app that lets users take pictures of things like graffiti or old couches on the street. Using the phone's GPS and compass reading, the app tags that content, wraps it up and sends it to City Hall.
On the other end, the company works with municipalities to enable their back end systems to receive and process all of these acts of citizen reporting. This includes lots of data and mapping mashups that allow city officials to plan law enforcement patrolling and clean-up efforts.
"The goal is for City Hall to be able to notify law enforcement to increase patrols in the area," said CEO Jason Kiesel. "It gives them opportunity to predict and prevent with better law enforcement decisions."
A quick demo showed how incidents of vandalism jumped from May to June in San Jose around many school districts — presumably having to do with summer break. San Jose is the company's first customer and it is reportedly in discussions with a few of the top 10 populated cities in the U.S..
The app's success will come down to the ability to form these deals but also the ability to market the app to users. The data sets will obviously only be as good as the amount of people that are generating them. But its novelty could cause it to rise above the noise in the mobile app world, and you can picture it being featured on Apple's "there's an app for that" TV ads.
Next up, the company will develop a Palm Pre app, with Android likely to follow. It will also integrate more and more public data sources to make crime records searchable in the ways that Everyblock, TownMe and others have begun to do. Social features could be on the way too, to let users do digg-style "voting up" local issues that deserve the most attention.

Biomagnetic therapies date back centuries and have been applied in different forms to treat a variety of ailments. There are still questions about whether they heal or stop the progression of painful disorders, or merely provide temporary analgesic effects in some but not all cases.
Magnetic fields are fundamental components of our environment on Earth and interest in the potential therapeutic benefits of magnetism dates back centuries. For example, the famous 2nd Century A.D. physician, Galen of Pergamum, allegedly used natural magnets to help relieve pain in treating many illnesses. Modern medicine uses technologies to monitor magnetic fields, such as in electrocardiograms and magnetic resonance imaging. Increasing evidence is accumulating regarding biomagnetic therapies and increasing numbers of people are sleeping on magnetic pads at night and wearing small magnets during the day to achieve a various health benefits. Yet, this is not a widely accepted part of mainstream medicine in America.
Most research investigations into biomagnetic therapies have focused on two distinct areas: fixed or static magnets and, increasingly, pulsed bioelectric magnetic fields. As a complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) approach, biomagnetic therapies are noninvasive and mimic forces found in nature, so they also have been largely devoid of any adverse effects. This is currently an expansive and expanding field of exploration; somewhat controversial and oftentimes confusing. Much of the clinical research today is focusing on magnetic-pulse therapies, and two recent reports exemplify these initiatives.
PEMF Therapy for Painful Osteoarthritis
At the Orthopaedic Research Society's annual meeting in New Orleans, March 2010, researchers described a study demonstrating the benefits of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) for relieving arthritis pain. Investigators from the Osteoarthritis Center at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, presented a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in which 34 patients used a portable battery-operated device emitting a low-intensity PEMF frequency [Nelson et al. 2010]. They reported that subjects receiving active PEMF therapy experienced more than 40% pain relief on their first day of treatment and this continued during the study (further data were unavailable at the time of this writing).
All patients attached a small, lightweight, ring-shaped plastic device around their knees (directly over clothing, if preferred) for 15 minutes, twice daily for 6 weeks. The electromagnetic field depth extended across the knee and 5" on either side [see illustration]. All participants were given a device that appeared to work but some were randomly assigned active coils and others were given non-active coils (placebo group). The PEMF device was developed by Ivivi Health Sciences, which also funded the study.
Some research has demonstrated that targeted PEMF signals accelerate anti-inflammatory processes, and significant improvements in pain, edema, angiogenesis (blood vessel development), and tissue repair have been demonstrated in animal models. Human research has found significant reductions in pain, decreased use of pain medication, and the reduction of IL-1-beta (an objective marker of inflammation). Lead investigator Fred Nelson, MD, commented, "The exciting thing about this new approach is that it has been found to have no side effects, it is relatively low-cost in the long-run, and the onset of pain relief is immediate." His team plans to continue examining the consistency of the pain relief, how long it lasts, and if PEMF might benefit other painful joints.
sTMS Promising for Migraine Relief
In another recent study, which appeared in The Lancet Neurology, single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (sTMS) was found to help relieve pain in persons suffering migraine with aura [Lipton et al. 2010]. This was a well-designed randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group, sham-controlled trial conducted at 18 centers in the United States. The subjects, 201 adults aged 18 to 68 years having migraine with aura were randomly allocated to either sham (placebo) stimulation (n=99) or sTMS (n=102) and instructed to treat up to 3 attacks during a 3 month period while experiencing aura.
During the study, 164 patients treated at least one attack with sTMS (n=82) or sham stimulation (n=82). Pain-free response rates after 2 hours were significantly higher with sTMS (39%) than with sham stimulation (22%), for a therapeutic gain of 17% (95% CI 3-31%; p=0.018). Sustained pain-free response rates significantly favored sTMS at 24 hr. and 48 hr. post-treatment. No device-related serious adverse events were reported, and the incidence and severity of side effects were similar between sTMS and sham groups, including nausea, photophobia (light sensitivity), and phonophobia (sound sensitivity).
Some experts describe a migraine headache as an "electrical storm" in which the brain becomes hyperexcitable and has an abnormal response to normal stimuli or triggers. The investigational device used in this study — manufactured by Neuralieve, which also funded the research — is placed at the back of the head for less than a minute [see illustration], generating a focused, single magnetic pulse that induces a mild electric current in the brain. It is believed that this sort of targeted signal may depolarize — or short circuit — the hyperexcitability and interrupt progression of abnormal brainwaves associated with a migraine attack.
COMMENTS & CAVEATS: Interesting Possibilities
PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy has been FDA-cleared to treat postoperative pain and edema, and both Medicare and Medicaid approve the use of these therapies for treating patients with chronic unhealing wounds, particularly to stimulate bone repair. Practitioners also have reported the use of this technology to treat sprains, neck pain, fibromyalgia, and other conditions. Few details were available regarding PEMF used for osteoarthritis in the small study by Nelson and colleagues [2010] and, while other studies have corroborated the benefits of PEMF for arthritis [refs. in EBSCO 2010], one systematic review of available evidence at the time concluded that there was little value of this approach in the management of knee osteoarthritis [McCarthy et al. 2006]. At least one very interesting and successful trial applied transcranial PEMF therapy (using a headset device) for the relief of chronic musculoskeletal pain, including fibromyalgia [Thomas et al. 2007].
In the various investigations of PEMF there appear to be wide variations in the applied electromagnetic field strengths, frequencies, waveforms, and durations of therapy, which strongly influence outcomes and make head-to-head comparisons of studies difficult. Unlike certain other "electrotherapies" — eg, spinal cord stimulation (SCS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), and others — there is no invasive implantation of electrodes. Consequently, various devices are marketed directly to consumers, ranging in cost from a couple hundred to many thousands of dollars. Some devices offer very high intensities for brief microseconds while others have weak intensities during continuous pulses, there are differences in waveforms utilized, and some use paddles, or mats, or conducting loop configurations. Therefore, this is a CAM modality that may be fraught with confusion and misgivings among patients who are misled by promotional advertising.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses either single or repetitive applications of low frequency magnetic pulses to the brain. Two decades of clinical experience with TMS has demonstrated it to be safe and promising in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disease (eg, depression) in adults. The technology used in the study by Lipton and colleagues [2010] was single pulse TMS, or sTMS, having a magnetic field approximately half the strength of a typical MRI device. Patients do not feel the mild electric current stimulated by the sTMS device, which passes through the skull and tissue to excite and depolarize neurons in the brain. This should not be confused with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), in which stronger electrical currents are applied to the entire brain and sometimes cause short-term memory loss and other cognitive complications.
As with PEMF therapy, there can be many variations of TMS devices in terms of their construction and qualities of the magnetic field produced. The well-designed study by Lipton et al. [2010] demonstrated efficacy for treating migraine with aura; however, it also should be noted that the 17% absolute risk reduction would have an NNT of about 6; that is, only 1 of 6 patients would be expected to benefit from the procedure.
Finally, biomagnetic therapy using actual magnets appears to be a whole field unto itself and quite a burgeoning industry. Long popular in other countries, magnet therapy entered public awareness in the United States some years ago, stimulated by golfers and tennis players extolling the virtues of magnets in the treatment of their sports-related injuries. Magnetic knee, shoulder, neck, wrist, and ankle pads, as well as insoles and mattress pads, are widely available and touted as providing a myriad of healing benefits. Despite such enthusiasm, to date there is relatively little controlled clinical-trial evidence to support the use of magnets for any medical condition [EBSCO 2010]. We recently described a placebo-controlled trial that found no benefits of magnets in relieving arthritis pain, other than a possible placebo effect [blogpost here]. Other studies — usually small, underpowered, observational, and burdened by other limitations — have demonstrated some beneficial effects of magnets.
There is considerable disagreement, and some controversy, about the best shape, strength or intensity, polarity (eg, applying the North versus South poles), material composition, and other qualities of magnets necessary to achieve best therapeutic effects. Still, most critics concede that there is no physical harm in trying magnets for most people; although, there are questions about whether magnetic fields can disrupt pacemakers, insulin pumps, or other implanted devices, and their safety during pregnancy. Financial risk is a different matter; there may be little investment at the lower end of magnetic objects but it can cost hundreds of dollars for mattress pads and some other products. Caveat emptor.
There also have been concerns expressed about promotional claims for biomagnetic therapies, and a funding bias in some past research in which device manufacturers were involved in the support and design of trials (as may be the case in the trials noted above by Nelson et al. and Lipton et al.). Advertising messages sometimes appear to imply "FDA approval" of devices or products that, in fact, does not exist. Beyond this, within the realm of pain management and in the interest of pursuing more holistic approaches, it must be considered that certain therapies do help some persons with pain even if there is an incomplete understanding of the exact mechanisms or little incontrovertible evidence of efficacy. We are willing to contemplate interesting possibilities but it is always comforting to have a hefty dose of valid clinical evidence to support any conclusions and recommendations.
DISCLAIMER: We have no vested interests in, nor do we endorse, any biomagnetic therapies, products, or devices. This blog entry presents only a small sampling of readily available information on the subject of biomagnetic therapies, so interested readers are encouraged to consult the listed references, and other resources, in arriving at their own conclusions regarding this topic. — SBL

My 2 year old daughter loves all things Melissa & Doug and she also loves flashlights. Therefore, this was a sure thing for her 2nd birthday. Unfortunately, the item does not work well. The light it very minimal and flickers on and off. (that's after the difficult batter insertion). In addition, my particular item appears to have been scratched and repainted on one of the yellow dots?? a previous return perhaps?? Will sadly be returning and do not recommend :(

What Is 'True Grit' About? 'True Grit' is a Western with plenty of comedy that follows the spirited Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), a sharp-witted 14-year-old girl whose father was shot to death by Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). Mattie hires Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), the meanest U.S. Marshal in town, and sets off into the Indian Nations to track down her father's killer. They're joined by a Texas Ranger named LeBoeuf (Matt Damon) who is also tracking Tom Chaney.
How does 'True Grit' compare to the original? John Wayne's portrayal of Rooster Cogburn earned him an Oscar and the film itself has been described as a masterpiece. So this film had a lot to live up to. The short answer is the modern version of 'True Grit' is grittier. The characters are dirtier, the dialogue more authentic and the comedy less hammy.

A teenager enlists the aid of a boozy, trigger-happy lawman to find her father's killer. Read More

RONALD J. MATSCHENER, APPELLANTv.CITY OF PITTSBURGH, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION; COUNTY OF ALLEGHENY; SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, APPELLEES
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County in case of Ronald J. Matschener v. City of Pittsburgh, a Municipal Corporation; County of Allegheny; and School District of the City of Pittsburgh, No. GD-76-17462.
Stephen J. Zivic, with him Morton B. Debroff, for appellant.
D. R. Pellegrini, Assistant City Solicitor, with him Mead J. Mulvihill, Jr., City Solicitor, for appellees.
Judges Mencer, Rogers and DiSalle, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Rogers.
[ 36 Pa. Commw. Page 70]
Ronald J. Matschener has appealed from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County dismissing his complaint in equity on the demurrers of the City of Pittsburgh (City), the County of Allegheny (County) and the School District of the City of Pittsburgh (School District). Matschener sought an order of the court below requiring the defendants specifically to perform an agreement entered into by the City, as trustee, to sell certain real estate to the plaintiff.
[ 36 Pa. Commw. Page 71]
By his complaint Matschener alleged that the City, County and School District were owners of property at 4506, 4508, 4510 and 4512 Haline Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; that the City became trustee of said properties on June 1, 1970 and managed and controlled the same for all three taxing bodies as beneficial owners; that Matschener and his family have been tenants of 4506 Haline Street since November, 1970; that on February 24, 1976, the City gave to Matschener a written first option to purchase the property at 4506 Haline Street for a subsequently established price of $5000.00; that on April 23, 1976, Matschener, through his attorney, notified the City in writing of his acceptance of the option to purchase and complied with terms of sale established by the City by forwarding a $500.00 cashier's check as deposit; that Matschener made substantial and valuable improvements to the premises in reliance upon the contract so made; and that the City refused to execute and deliver to Matschener the deed of the premises in question.
Each, the City, County and School District filed identical preliminary objections in the nature of a demurrer as follows:
Plaintiff has no claim against the [City, County or School District] to enforce an alleged contract for the sale of land not in accordance with the provisions of the Act of July 5, 1947, P.L. 1258 [ as amended ], 53 P.S. § 26101 et seq.
The court below sustained the demurrer stating that:
The plaintiff failed to aver that the alleged contract is in compliance with the manner mandated by the Act [of July 5, 1947] while Defendants admit that the alleged contract does not meet any of the requirements of the Act. Plaintiff, therefore, has no legally recognizable
[ 36 Pa. Commw. Page 72]
claim against defendant taxing bodies on the alleged contract, because the taxing bodies do not possess the power to sell land subject to tax liens in any manner but the manner enunciated in the Act.
Initially, we observe that the ground for dismissal of the complaint laid in the defendants' demurrers -- that the plaintiff cannot enforce a contract for the sale of land "not in accordance with the Act of July 5, 1947" -- is inspecific in the extreme. The Act of Assembly referred to regulates the matter of sales of real property for delinquent taxes in cities of the second class. It provides for the sale of such properties by the city treasurer; it authorizes cities of the second class to bid on and purchase said properties, thereafter holding title as trustee for local taxing bodies; and it authorizes the resale of such properties purchased by cities of the second class at private sale without or, if desired for title purposes, with court approval. See Allegheny County Port Authority v. Flaherty, 6 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 135, 293 A.2d 152 (1972), and Grimm v. City of Pittsburgh, 2 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 600, 279 A.2d 379 (1971). The demurrers fail to state which of the numerous steps required or authorized in acquiring or conveying title was not observed. Pa. R.C.P. No. 1028(a) requires that "preliminary objections shall state specifically the grounds relied upon." While we must pass this point because the plaintiff did not file preliminary objections to the demurrers, the wisdom of the Rule No. 1028(a) is here demonstrated by the fact that it now appears that the infirmity of the complaint in the appellees' view lies not in the Act of July 5, 1947 but in altogether different statute. The appellees' brief on this appeal asserts that the plaintiff may not have specific performance, not on account of any matter relating to the Act of July 5, 1947 referred to in
[ 36 Pa. Commw. Page 73]
the demurrer, but by reason of the asserted failure of City Council by resolution to approve the contract, which it is claimed is required by the Pittsburgh Home Rule Charter. It seems to us that the absence of such a resolution, if required, is a matter which should be pleaded in defense to the action rather than that its presence should be pleaded by the plaintiff. In any case, as noted, the demurrers filed are not grounded on the Home Rule Charter. Neither do the demurrers raise the question of whether the writings appended to the plaintiff's complaint as the written agreements sued on constitute a definitive agreement on the part of the City to sell the properties in question to the plaintiff.
A demurrer is an assertion that a complaint does not set forth a cause of action upon which relief can be granted. Balsbaugh v. Rowland, 447 Pa. 423, 290 A.2d 85 (1972). In disposing of a demurrer, every well pleaded, material, relevant fact set forth in the pleading to which it is filed, together with all reasonable inferences therefrom, are admitted as true. Eden Roc Country Club v. Mullhauser, 416 Pa. 61, 204 A.2d 465 (1964). A demurrer will be sustained only where a plaintiff's complaint or pleading shows with certainty that upon the facts averred therein, the law will not permit the plaintiff to recover. International Union of Operating Engineers v. Linesville Construction Co., 457 Pa. 220, 322 A.2d 353 (1974); Buchanan v. Brentwood Federal Savings and Loan Association, 457 Pa. 135, 320 A.2d 117 (1974). A demurrer cannot supply a fact missing in the complaint. Linda Coal & Supply Co. v.
