[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 187]
The Council of Middletown Township (council) (Appeal No. 1269 C.D. 1982) and the Estate of Grant
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 188]
J. Benham (developer) (Appeal No. 1305 C.D. 1982) cross-appeal from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County which: (1) sustained the developer's substantive challenge to the validity of two sections of the Middletown Township Code of Ordinances;*fn1 (2) reversed the council's decision to deny the developer's application for tentative approval of a planned residential development (PRD) consisting of 113 units; and (3) granted tentative approval for a PRD consisting of 86 units.*fn2
The central issue in the council's appeal concerns the meaning and validity of the zoning ordinance requirement that all PRDs must be serviced by a "public sanitary sewer systems." The developer's cross-appeal questions the trial court's conclusion that a railroad right-of-way constitutes a "public way" dividing the development tract so that maximum density compliance must be attained independently within each of the divisions.
The developer owns approximately 104.2 acres located in Middletown Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania and zoned R-1A.*fn3 In his application for tentative approval of a PRD, he proposed a project
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 189]
consisting of 82 townhouse units and 31 single-family units which would be serviced by an on-site sewage package treatment plant, operation of which would result in the discharge of treated sewage into Chester Creek. The council denied the application.
An appeal by the developer resulted in a remand by the court of common pleas for additional hearings. Thereafter, the developer initiated proceedings under sections 609.1 and 1004 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (MPC), Act of June 1, 1972, P.L. 805, as amended, 53 P.S. §§ 10609.1, 11004, challenging the validity of sections 309C(7) and 309H(2)(h) of the Code of Ordinances.
After numerous hearings, the council decided again to deny tentative approval of the developer's PRD application and to dismiss the curative amendment petition. Administrative Judge Prescott, of the court of common pleas, reversed the council and granted tentative approval of an 86-unit PRD, having concluded that the challenged sections were invalid. These cross-appeals ensued.
Because the trial court did not take any additional evidence, our scope of review is limited to determining whether or not the governing body, here the council, abused its discretion or committed an error of law. See G.M.P. Land Co., Inc. v. Board of Supervisors of Hegers Township, 72 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 591, 457 A.2d 989 (1983).
Appeal No. 1269 C.D. 1982
In its appeal,*fn4 the council challenges the trial court's determination that ordinance section 309C(7),
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 190]
which requires that a PRD be serviced "by public water and public sanitary sewer systems ", (emphasis added), is invalid (1) because the regulation of sewage systems has been preempted by both the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act*fn5 and The Clean Streams Law*fn6 and (2) because such a restriction is not a reasonable exercise of the municipality's police powers.
The council also challenges the trial court's determination that, even if that section were constitutional, the on-site sewage package treatment plant proposed by the developer would be a "public sanitary sewer system" under the ordinance and thus the council erroneously denied tentative approval. We note initially that both Middletown Township and Delaware County have refused to accept a dedication of the proposed system and that the term "public" is nowhere defined in Chapter IX, Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances. Consequently, we must determine what the drafters of this ordinance intended by the use of the term "public" in the section.
An undefined term in a zoning ordinance "must be interpreted and applied in accordance with its usual and generally accepted meaning." Fidler v. Zoning Board of Adjustment, 408 Pa. 260, 264, 182 A.2d 692, 694 (1962). See also Kuhn v. Hanover General Hospital, 34 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 207, 382 A.2d 1305 (1978) and V.S.H. Realty v. Zoning Hearing Board of Sharon Hill, 27 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 32, 365 A.2d 670 (1976). Additionally, the rules of statutory construction
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 191]
are applicable to local zoning ordinances. Heck v. Zoning Hearing Board for Harveys Lake Borough, 39 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 570, 397 A.2d 15 (1979).
The developer argues that his sewage system would be "public", despite the fact that it would be owned and operated by either a private concern or the occupiers of the PRD, because it would be servicing a "community". The term "public" as it is generally used, however, denotes ownership by a governmental entity, either a municipal authority, the municipality itself, or the county or the Commonwealth.*fn7
This developer's present proposal actually falls under the term "[c]ommunity sewage system" as defined in the Sewage Facilities Act, in which the legislature has indicated that label to be the appropriate one for "any system, whether publicly or privately owned, for the collection of sewage . . . from two or more lots. . . ." Section 2 of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, 35 P.S. § 750.2.
Therefore, accepting the township's interpretation of its own ordinance term, we proceed on the basis that the ordinance demands public agency ownership of the sewage system as a prerequisite of PRD approval.
Hence we reach the question of whether that requirement is void by reason of state preemption under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act. Our court
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 192]
has previously ruled that the enactment of that act "resulted in a limited preemption of the field of regulation of sewage operations, including the disposal of the 'sludge' from such operations." Greater Greensburg Sewage Authority v. Hempfield Township, 5 pa. Commonwealth Ct. 495, 501, 291 A.2d 318, 321 (1972).*fn8
Most importantly, section 7(a) of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, 35 P.S. § 750.7(a), provides that "an individual sewage system or community sewage system" is entitled to approval by way of permit if it complies with that act and the standards established under it. Thus the developer's proposed system -- which, as noted above, would fall under the act's "community sewage system" category -- could, at the proper juncture, be entitled to issuance of a permit under the state law. Accordingly, the township zoning ordinance, by barring all possibility of any approval of this proposed system for the PRD, solely on account of its private ownership, is clearly in conflict with the entire thrust of the state's regulatory scheme to permit or reject sewage systems on the basis of their actual technical compliance with sanitary standards.
One of the township's claims in this case sharply illustrates the point. The township contends that privately-owned package systems tend to be of a type which threatens the public health. Thus the township has made it plain that the township, by zoning, is seeking to control the type of sewage system, without reference to the state program which entirely embraces the determination of proper type.
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 193]
Judge Prescott therefore was correct in concluding that the public sewage system requirement was void as preempted by the state law.
In view of that conclusion, we need not further consider the question of alleged preemption by The Clean Streams Law nor the trial court's alternative conclusion that the public sewage system requirement was invalid as unreasonable. However, noting the township's acknowledgment on the record that a public sewer system cannot be expected for the area in question before the year 2000, we agree with the trial judge's negation of the township's catch-22 ordinance condition, which sets a goal which is unattainable for the next 15 years by virtue of the locality's own public plans. Although the ordinance allows other residential development in this district to be served by private sewage facilities, the public system requirement for PRDs thus effects a blanket prohibition of planned residential development, even though the ordinance decrees that PRDs constitute an appropriate land use in the district.
Appeal No. 1305 C.D. 1982
In the cross-appeal, the developer argues that the trial court erred in accepting the council's conclusion that the railroad track which divides his land is a "public way" within the meaning of ordinance section 309C(5) and that, consequently, the density requirements for a PRD, as found in ordinance section 309E,*fn9
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 194]
must be applied to each portion of the proposed development.
Section 309C(5) states, in pertinent part, that:
In order to qualify under this Ordinance as a Planned Residential Development (PRD), said development shall provide for a minimum of fifty (50) acres of land. . . . If any portion of such tract is divided by an existing street or other public way from the remainder of the tract, the density requirements of Subsection E herein shall be applied to each of the segments of land so divided, provided that this requirement may be waived or modified by the Township Council on recommendation by the Planning Commission in any case where such modification is determined to be in the best interests of the Township. (Emphasis added.)
The term "public way" is not defined in Chapter IX, Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances. We agree, however, with Judge Prescott's determination that "public way", as defined by Black's Law Dictionary, includes a railroad and that consequently the drafters of section 309C(5) intended the density requirements of Section 309E to apply to each segment of a property which is divided by a railroad.*fn10
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 195]
The appropriateness of our conclusion in this respect is confirmed by the fact that the developer proposes to maintain only open land on one side of the railroad, as a recreational area. Even though the PRD residents could have access across the railroad to that area, the divisive effect of a public way -- particularly a railroad -- with respect to unified utilization of the entire development is a factor which underscores the rationality of the public way provision and our interpretation of it.
Finally, the council has contested the trial court's implementation of relief, ordering that the developer's "application for preliminary approval of a planned residential development for 86 dwelling units be and the same is hereby approved." The council, acknowledging that the trial court, given its reversing action, could prescribe a stated density, contends nevertheless that the court should subject the developer to the township's further consideration with respect to a revised preliminary plan.
However, section 1011(b)(2) of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, 53 P.S. § 11011(b)(2), accords to the trial court wide discretion in molding relief where the court has concluded that an ordinance provision unlawfully restricts a development. We believe that the court's relief approach is proper, in that it avoids what would undoubtedly be a further interminable
[ 91 Pa. Commw. Page 196]
wrangle over a refashioned preliminary plan. Under the ordinance and under MPC § 711, 53 P.S. § 10711, the developer must yet prepare and submit an application for final plan approval, so that municipal regulation of the actual configuration of the reduced-density development is not eliminated.
Judge Prescott's sound decision and order is therefore affirmed.
Now, August 16, 1985, the order of the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, dated May 3, 1982, is affirmed.
Judge Williams, Jr., did not participate in the decision in this case.

The website of the hotel promisses things you don't get. It says there is a private parking, a breakfast and no pets alowed. The first two things are absolute nonsense. There was no parking space whatsoever, and there was also no breakfast.
Then in the small reception there is a cat walking around. He fortunately doesn't come in any of the hotel rooms, but still, I think if you don't allow pets in your hotel you shouldn't have a cat walking around yourself.
Then one of the staff members was very unfriendly. This was not only our experience but from more of the guests we spoke to. He is unfriendly to everyone and not helpful at all.
The rest of the staff we spoke to were nicer, but this man makes the stay much less pleasant.
The rooms were clean and we even had a balcony (this is only on the top floor, the rest of the rooms has a french balcony you can't stand on). The only thing you could say is that they aren't very big, and tall people cant stand underneath the shower because it's not high enough. The last doesn't bother me though, because you don't spend a lot of time in the hotel. It's just a place to sleep and shower.
The location of the hotel is good. The metro is within a 5 minute walking distance, and there are shops and cafés within this area as well.
I recommend having breakfast in a place I don't remember the name of, it's on the corner of rue de montholon and rue de lafayette. It's really good and not expensive.

I've seen a lot of cases where people create new threads complaining that the search function on this site does not work well, and then ask a question that has been asked many times before. This generally doesn't bother me because it is the nature of the internet and forums, but it seems to really irritate others. So, maybe those who flame could also suggest this method to fellow readers.
To search within backpackinglight.com, you would include "site:backpackinglight.com" in your Google search. To get even better results, including the sub-forum name helps. For example, to search for posts about knives in the G-Spot forum, go to Google and search:
"knife g-spot site:backpackinglight.com". To manipulate the results even more, you can explore the "search tools" in the new Google sidebar. Happy searchingJun 16, 2010 at 11:45 am #1620617

While this may be a viable solution I believe this line of thinking is what has created most of the issues we face today as a nation.
Instead of fixing the problem (of the site built in search working well) we create complex work arounds that require outside resources and special training to use.
Now this may sound like a gross exaggeration, but not really, if google search was so simple then even the most basic users would already be doing it.
We do this in goverment all the time… problem x arises, instead of addressing problem x, we hold hearings, we create a new controlling regulatory branch, we fund it, we hire 100 people, we create 10K pages of codes no one understands, and then we pay lawyers to interpret it to us, then we all pay more taxes to pay for all our new found protection.
Or we could simply spend the money once, solve the problem (in the case of my government example, usually punish the offender) and move on.Mar 24, 2011 at 8:25 am #1713924

The Google search works well and you can also pick a date period.
Building a better forum search function may not be a high priority for BPL. It probably does not generate enough money from members to even pay for itself.Mar 24, 2011 at 11:59 am #1714055

How do you put in a date range?Mar 24, 2011 at 12:21 pm #1714068

@roguenodeLocale: Boulder
While the pre-set date searches in Google are sometimes useful, custom date range searching with Google seems to be a pain. You can use "daterange:startdate-enddate" in your search, but the start and end dates must be in Julian format.
However, this page allows for easy custom range searching with google.
(On a side note, oddly enough the forum's profanity filter didn't like that site's web address, so I had to use a tinyrurl link.)Mar 24, 2011 at 12:43 pm #1714082

Yep cant argue with that, it was a reach, just one of my pet peeves…no one wants to fix the problems just mask them till we forget.
Nick, i wasn't suggesting the new feature would generate more revenue, I was suggesting what revenue that is currently being generated should be used in part for upgrading the forum software to something competitive with similar forums outside of bpl.Mar 24, 2011 at 7:38 pm #1714322

We are aware of the limitations of the current software. Sometimes painfully.
I believe work is in progress on another significant upgrade. But it costs money, and the GFC is not kind … so it will be a while before it is complete.

From an old post of mine:
Folks have mentioned on here a few times about doing a site search using Google instead of using the built in search engine. Macworld online has a great article about creating a javascript bookmark (including the javascript 1-line code, just copy and paste!) to make it easy. See article here.Mar 24, 2011 at 10:02 pm #1714414

If you're using Chrome you can go here:
Then at the bottom of the page, add a new search engine with this URL:
Give it a keyword like 'bpl'. Thence forth you can just type 'bpl' (or whatever your keyword was) and then your query.
I know there's a way to do the same thing in Firefox, but I've forgotten how.Nov 13, 2011 at 4:48 pm #1801418

I am a hairstylist in So. Cal. Just in the last month I have noticed I have some hair loss. I mentioned to a co-worker and she said, she and her mom have just noticed hair loss too!
So we now are starting to hear, or are now paying attention, to many of our women customers saying the same thing.
My thought is Fukushima, but I get laughed at for this view, so I am keeping that part to myself, but I am serious, that this seems to be now showing up in us.
If you live on the west coast, do any of you feel your hair has thinned recently?
MY thinking is it has taken this long to get into us and show subtle effects, and if true, it can only get worse.

Make sure you have your thyroid checked next time you got to the doc. Go sooner rather than later if it gets worse or you notice other symptoms of being ill. Thyroid cancer is very common from rad exposure, so is leukemia...they are some of the first cancers that show up. Thyroid sounds like its not a big deal but it can matastisize very quickly to other organs and then you are screwed.

It's nice that WordPerfect recognizes text written in other word processing programs, like Microsoft Word. Too bad we can't say the same thing about Microsoft programs' recognizing earlier Microsoft products. When switching to Windows 98, I found that Microsoft's previous word processing program in Microsoft Works was only partly accepted. Now when I open one of the old Works files, I get a message that says, ''Cannot load conversion files.'' Maybe I've got to change religions.

Good Hotel in front of the beach with really nice restaurant and a good bar on the side that you can use while in the beach. Small pool Rooms are small but clean. Good breakfast. Price a little expensive
Spent our last night in Sicily here, right on the beach, absolutely gorgeous location. Easy drive to the airport, would recommend it to anyone, really friendly helpful staff.It wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny to walk along the beach and see the sun come up and then enjoy a delicious breakfast.
We stayed here for 1 night, more of a 3 than a 4 star hotel. The hotel is old but very clean and staff are friendly. The hotel is located in a beautiful location, on an endless soft white sandy beach with warm waters. It's kind of in the middle of knowhere, but the nearby pretty town offers some small good restaurants. I'm always sceptical about hotel restaurants but had fantastic fresh fish served to us here.
First impressions were not good. We arrived early evening and were greated to literally hundreds of teenagers in and around the hotel, and in the surrounding beach area. Apparently this is the summer resort playground for many Italians and Europeans. We couldn't find a place to park and it looked like I had finally made a mistake using hotels.com. Worse, when we went to check in the front desk advised us that hotels.com had cancelled our reservation, without letting us know, due to a change in credit card - I had to replace because of fraudulous acitivty. I'll spare the rest of the details but to say that from then on the hotel was excellent. They solved our check-in issue and overall the service was excellent. Highlights of this hotel - an excellent, long beach with great sand and water access. If you like walking a beach, this is a great place. The restaurant was excellent, the room adequate, comfortable and clean and the pool/amenities were very good. We really enjoyed our stay. Cons - if you don't like crowds - it can be a little intimidating depending on when you stay here. It can be a very busy beach. By the same token, there is a vibrancy here as well. Lesson - never judge a book by it's cover. We ended up liking this place very much and would recommend it.

Skip to comments.Muslim spokesman: "Muslims won't stand for airport body scanners"
Posted on 12/29/2009 5:43:58 AM PST by pabianice
A Muslim spokesman was interviewed on Fox this AM. When asked if he thought that full-body scanners at airports would improve security, he replied that Muslims would never stand for them because they would show the bodies of Muslim women. The interviewer let that pass without any protest.
"Ask doctors if they are titillated by looking at bodies."
That used to be true when men and women were people of character and integrity. Today, many gynecologists have the worst records of sex abuse. Familiarity does not always breed contempt—sometimes it breeds "temptation," the pornography effect. I suspect the weak character of TSA types would tend to the latter. Very sad.
The thing is that the butt bomb needs to be taken out before detonation, because otherwise the bomber's body will absorb most of the blast.
See the attempted assassination of the Saudi prince in charge of counter-terrorism. He was 2m away from the bomb and survived.
The movie Total Recall comes to mind in terms of body scanners.
As for that scanner image, it looks like something out of the movie Seven. Morbid.
People are frickin angry as hell and with good reason. Our security has become a joke to Obamma. The president needs to go.
Personally, I can't imagine being a gynecologist and not being either titillated or repulsed, depending on the patient being examined. Why would becoming a doctor change anything? You really have to wonder what prompts a man to choose that path.
Let them all walk.
It's time to get real - it's time to profile.
No, no, no...lots of us still take the bus, believing it's relatively safe. (At least we're on the ground) I have to travel this weekend, and I'm actually pretty scared. Have to take that route from Columbus, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, LR. There's an infestation in every one of those cities.
"They won't stand for it". Oh really. Well they are the sole reason we have to put up with it so I say Muslims only through the body scanner and the rest of us walk right past it. We are not the problem. They are.
Good God almighty. I didnt know that. I only ran a quick search on ugly mulim woman to find that picture. Of course "ugly muslim woman" is a redundant term.
A 'compromise' will be achieved.
Only Muslim TSA women will be allowed to view female Muslim passengers.
When a Muslim woman with PETN stuffed up every orifice kills 387 people, it's no problem, the complicit screener just missed one, if it even comes to that.
The scum in TSA and the scum in the FBI will approve because they're 'building partnerships' with Muslims and 'reached a meaningful compromise'. The FBI's partner CAIR will give it their blessing too.
Employing muslims? Check!
Diversity? Check!
Cheek spreading for CAIR? Check!
The Marxist Muslim traitor in the WH declares victory? Check!
What about the innocent dead Americans? Who cares, been there done that. No Muslims were offended and the TSA, FBI, and CIA did all they could!
"Muslims would never stand for them because they would show the bodies of Muslim women."
Apparently Christians have no problem with the bodies of their wives and daughters being examined by complete and frequently vile stangers.
I've copied the rest of you because you seem to understand one's own dignity and integrity are not worth violating for the sake of measures which will never increase the safety of a single individual.
calex59 is absolutely right.
Here are the clear cut solutions.
1) Any person with a foreign name from countries other than those where terrorists originate from should be given less scrutiny especially in flights leaving this country.
2) Any person with a foreign name that is Muslim, Pakistani or African get the body scans.
3) Any person registered with the Democratic Party or any other radical parties get the body scans.
4) Any person who displays suspicious, fidgeting or nervous behavior that fits the profile gets placed on the next flight due to delays from questioning.
5) Every person who buys an airline ticket gets put through the terrorist and criminal database and detained if they show up for the flight.
Let them walk then!
OK, we'll just beat them senseless and they can be dragged through the scanner laying down. Problem solved.
"They will scream 'due to my religious beliefs...'"
Due to their religious beliefs, I still haven't figured out why they fly.
Yeah....that is her :(
I followed that story for years.
"Personally, I can't imagine being a gynecologist and not being either titillated or repulsed, depending on the patient being examined. Why would becoming a doctor change anything? You really have to wonder what prompts a man to choose that path."
It has to do with one's values. I seriously contemplated the field when I was younger. I have a profound love for women, but simply as the people they are, and women's medical problems are much more complicated than a man's, and I only desired to be helpful in that area. It would never have been a source of temptation to me, because my purpose would have been one entirely of integrity and decency. I suspect you are young. The idea of principles being the source of one's desires is no longer understood.
Ban muslims from all airplanes forever!
A-Qaeda is now researching how to get around the scanners:
Via Drudge:
Al-Qaeda practises beating body scanners
A body scanner at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport would not necessarily have detected the explosives which the would-be syringe bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had sewn into his underwear. A Dutch military intelligence source told De Telegraaf newspaper that Al Qaeda has its own security scanners and has been practicing ways of concealing explosives.
The terrorist group has even carried out test runs at smuggling explosives through European airports, the paper reports.
On Monday Schiphol's operational manager Ad Rutten said the explosives carried by the 23-year-old Nigerian Abdulmutallab may well have been detected had he been scanned by one of the airport's 15 body scanners. Schiphol was the first airport to run a trial of body scanners, which use sound waves to see through passengers' clothing. At present the scanners are only an optional alternative to the conventional metal detector, as European privacy laws prevent them being made compulsory.
....the butt bomb needs to be taken out before detonation.
True, but not all that rare for people intent on killing themselves or into smuggling, from what I have read.
Czar Jennings surely must know more than either of us about the technique. /s sorta off and on
As long as the Feds run TSA muslims stand a good chance of receiving an exemption from any invasive search, at least on departures from the USA.
If what I saw the last time I flew on an airplane, as long as they dress in Arabic dress, they don't have a damn thing to worry about.
On Monday Schiphol's operational manager Ad Rutten said the explosives carried by the 23-year-old Nigerian Abdulmutallab may well have been detected had he been scanned by one of the airport's 15 body scanners.
Doesn't exactly support the assertion, does it.
Any system can be defeated. That's why its important to have a multi-layed system, using technology, observations, and physical searches. The biggest threat to our security systems is not Al Qaeda, its the political correctness of the political class.
then walk or swim, we don't care. if it keeps you terrorist bastards of airplanes, I'm all for it. maybe mandatory blt sandwiches will be served next.
Then lie down!!!
Every seat with a view. Open windows to smell the fresh air.
Not so much. Well into middle age. I have plenty of love for women for the people they are, but I will be fascinated by their bodies until my last breath. Integrity and decency don't by themselves propagate the species. That, my friend, takes lust.
Seems to me if they don't want to play by the rules, they can buy their own planes and have their own airlines and airport.....Blow themselves up but stay off the rest of our airlines.
Good! Install 'em at all airports and keep 'em off the effin' planes!
Great! Stay on the ground, then.
And historically, it's not been the women who are suicidal and (simultaneously) murderous.
Such a simple way to solve the problem. And we could actually go to "random" searches which would still stop anyone with a genuine dread of such a search from flying, and the rest of us could keep our shoes on AND read during the final hour of approach with a comfy blanket on our laps. And maybe even knit, just like the good old days.
Sigh . . .

Clawing my eyes out with a plastic spork at the mere thought...
And a chimpanzee in a yarmulke doing the full-body/bc searches, just to really p*ss 'em off and "validate" their prejudices!
Huh? LOL!
A conveyor belt, maybe?
My thought exactly
The guy at Christmas was attending a top engineering school. So were some of the previous terrorists.
ACLU does not like body scanners either.
They show bags of drugs and bundles of cash.
No, seriously, ACLU has issues with detecting stuff that can't harm a plane.
But, a bag of PETN looks just like a bag of heroin, so no body scanners!
Oh yeah? The creep with the rubber glove is waiting for you at the checkpoint;
>The choice is simple for all the protesters. Safety or modesty. Pretty stark choice.<
He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither. Full body scanners should only be used if there are mitigating circumstances, such as a person who sets off the metal detectors or who pays for his ticket in cash, is on a watch list or who doesn't have a passport. Forcing people who do not fit any profile to submit to what is essentially a computerized strip search is beyond the pale.
Oh, and as for your trite little comment above, some people have already purchased tickets, unrefundable tickets, to fly in the future. Herding American citizens who are not threats to anyone through these scanners does NOT insure safety.
Do you drive? Ride in other people's cars? You might get in a wreck and die. How come you're willing to personally take that risk, but are perfectly willing to disregard other people's rights for some perceived idea of "safety" on an airplane?
I will allow a body scan if it means no Muslims are flying. That's what I call compromise.
My reasoning was the obvious lukewarm support from what had been considered so called friends in the moderate muslin world. That has not changed, and our PC society/government will not come to grips that it is the intent of the muslim faith to destroy everyone who is not a muslim.
We will regret that strategy in the end.
Kevin Jennings, is that you?

It was adequate inside. However noisy because of the gondola motor and AC units for the whole facility right outside the window. We think the garbage bins were there too as the smell made it unbearable to sit on the porch.
This was our 2nd trip to Stowe mountain resort. Our first time in January and this time last week. Although most places weren't open yet we still had a great time. The staff was wonderful. Our bartender tender was amazing. Overall my husbands 40th birthday getaway was a wonderful time. Thank you!!!
This studio room is absolutely amazing. Freshly kept and sparkling clean. The owners do an amazing job and are extremely friendly. The resort itself is top notch- 5 stars accompanied with ski valet and car valet. The food and drink at the hourglass bar is wonderful. We could not have had a better time or a better room- we just wished we could have stayed longer, we will absolutely be back!!
We spent a few days here and had a great time overall. Really appreciated the kitchenette and deep tub in the room, and free valet parking along with access to the lodge's outdoor jacuzzi were nice perks! Gas fireplace in room added extra warmth whenever we came inside too.
The room is directly in front of the Over-easy gondola so it gets a little noisy at 7am, but we were in town for winter sports so it served as a helpful back-up alarm. Overall it was a very nice spot, a great value, and a good vacation. Thank you!
Great studio, in a great location ,on a great mountain. Bed is comfortable, bath is luxurious and kitchen is ok for breakfast or lunch. The owner is helpful and quick to respond. The resort is staffed with kind helpful people. The town has wonderful restaurants. Perfect for two people who love to ski!
Gorgeous lodge, room with a view, fireplace, soaker tub, valet ski, awesome staff. We were a family of four (two teenagers) who stayed in this room with the pull out sofa. It did not seem small to us and was very cozy. We made breakfast in the room every day in the kitchen and were able to heat up coffee and hot chocolate as needed. The owner was very nice to speak with. We can't wait to go back. The kids said it was their best vacation ever...that speaks volumes!

From Salman Rushdie, one of the great writers of our time, comes a spellbinding work of fiction that blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story. A lush, richly layered novel in which our world has been plunged into an age of unreason, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a breathtaking achievement and an enduring testament to the power of storytelling.
In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangenesses begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic novelist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity that resembles his own sub-Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at the mayor's office, a baby identifies corruption with her mere presence, marking the guilty with blemishes and boils. A seductive gold digger is soon tapped to combat forces beyond imagining.
Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as the jinn, who live in a world separated from ours by a veil. Centuries ago, Dunia, a princess of the jinn, fell in love with a mortal man of reason. Together they produced an astonishing number of children, unaware of their fantastical powers, who spread across generations in the human world.
Once the line between worlds is breached on a grand scale, Dunia's children and others will play a role in an epic war between light and dark spanning a thousand and one nights - or two years, eight months, and 28 nights. It is a time of enormous upheaval, in which beliefs are challenged, words act like poison, silence is a disease, and a noise may contain a hidden curse.
Inspired by the traditional "wonder tales" of the East, Salman Rushdie's novel is a masterpiece about the age-old conflicts that remain in today's world. Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is satirical and bawdy, full of cunning and folly, rivalries and betrayals, kismet and karma, rapture and redemption.
©2015 Salman Rushdie (P)2015 Random House Audio
"In his latest novel, [Salman] Rushdie invents his own cultural narrative - one that blends elements of One Thousand and One Nights, Homeric epics, and sci-fi and action/adventure comic books...." (Publishers Weekly)
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"1001 whimsical, capricious, and wanton jinn"
"This is a story from our past, from a time so remote we argue, sometimes, about wither we should call it history or mythology. Some of us call it a fairy tale. But on this we agree: that to tell a story about the past is to tell a story about the present. To recount a fantasy, a story of the imaginary, is also a way of recounting a tale about the actual. If this were not true then the deed would be pointless, and we try in our daily lives to eschew pointlessness whenever possible."
- Salman Rushdie, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights.
"In the end, rage, no matter how profoundly justified, destroys the enraged. Just as we are created anew by what we love, so we are reduced and unmade by what we hate."
- Salman Rushdie, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights.
Probably 3.5 stars. Don't misunderstand me. I liked the book. I liked its playfulness. The mixture of high and low, of jinn and man, of future telling its past. I loved how it streaks across 1001 days (or nights), a strange myth of the time of strangeness told 1001 years later. How it mixes Harry Potter with Henry James. I loved the cartoon versions of Obama, al-Qæda, etc.
So, yes, it really was a fun read and if these 290 magical realist, baggy, non-linear pages were birthed by some freshman IEL writer just out of some MFA lamp, I would probably call it a great 4-star book, but this is Rushdie dammit. This is the guy who wrote Midnight's Children and The Satanic Verses. You will always be graded by your progeny and against your siblings. Rushdie and his books are no exception. His standard is set and the standard is pretty damn high, so three dark stars for this book, and perhaps one star trapped in some blue bottle somewhere.
"My first (and not last) Rushdie book... Wow"
It's easy to get carried away in the stream-of-conscious flow of writing while it is being narrated to, but It would have been nice to able to go back and forth recalling the many names of characters in this book.
I did finish it in two sittings.
This is definitely going to be a book I will listen to again. There is so much philosophy being mixed into a clever "fantasy" novel. This is my first book by Rushdie and I know I will be checking out the Satanic Verses.
Just another twenty-something who listens to books instead of interacting with the outside world.
"Words cannot describe what I think of this book"
This was my first Salman Rushdie book, and after reading it I purchased Satanic Verses and The midnight children with my own money. I never do that, I blew my book budget for the month because I just had to hear more from him. They way he weaves a tale is mind blowing, it's truly incredible. My only problem is that sometimes I had to rewind because I had missed something, which shows how much I love this book because I HAD to understand what was going on at all times. It's not the kind of book that you can listen to while doing other things, you have to immerse yourself in the strange and wonderful world to get the full effect, a good book for a long car ride. I really cannot praise this book enough.
Say something about yourself!
"Annoyingly overdone narration"
Beautifully written, imaginative story but overly-inflected narration in a broad American accent distracts from the story and the style. My advice: skip the audio and buy the book.
"Narration Lacking, Story Engaging"
Great book. Unlike Rushdie's usual books in that it's not depressing and is optimistic for a better world. A bit too long though.
However, the narration leaves much to be desired. The broad American accent takes away from the intended experience and atmosphere of the book. And the God-awful (and quite racist) faux-Indian accent that begins the third chapter almost made me return the book.
"Good story!"
Excellent narrative and good reading by Robert. New stories should be to written like this one.
"oh so tedious!"
The idea is brilliant but it goes on and on and on. Without the perfect performance I wouldn't have endured half of it.
"A New classic fairy tale."
I'm sure Rushtie meant no blasphemy in providing us with another deightfully imaginative creation allegory.
"A Solid, If Underwhelming, Introduction To Rushdie"
Sure, but not for the reasons I'd expected to when I first read the premise of the book. I've heard of Rushdie, of course, and had expected great things from this novel, even though I'd read a few reviews describing it as "middle of the road".
Where once I had imagined I'd be recommending a fascinating tale by a notoriously well-respected author, I would now recommend it as an interesting worldbuilding exercise.
The tone of the book, for better or worse, is fairly detached and clinical. If there'd been more emotional investment in either the story or the characters, it might have gripped me more.
I haven't heard any of Mr. Slade's other works, unfortunately.

Hohle Fels
The entrance of the Hohle Fels cave
|Schelklingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
|Swabian Jura
|48°22′45″N 9°45′20″E / 48.37917°N 9.75556°ECoordinates: 48°22′45″N 9°45′20″E / 48.37917°N 9.75556°E
|Upper Paleolithic
The Hohle Fels (German pronunciation: [ˈhoːləˈfɛls]) (also Hohlefels, Hohler Fels, German for "hollow rock") is a cave in the Swabian Jura of Germany that has yielded a number of important archaeological finds dating to the Upper Paleolithic. Artifacts found in the cave represent some of the earliest examples of prehistoric art and musical instruments ever discovered. The cave is just outside the town of Schelklingen in the state of Baden-Württemberg, near Ulm.
The cave entrance is at 534 m (1,752 ft) above sea level. The cave consists of a tunnel of about 15 m (50 ft) and a hall holding about 6,000 m3 (210,000 cu ft), making the cave hall one of the largest of Southern Germany.
The first excavation took place in 1870, yielding remnants of cave bears, reindeer, mammoths and horses as well as tools belonging to the Aurignacian culture of the Upper Paleolithic.
Further excavations during 1958 to 1960, 1977, and 2002 yielded a number of spectacular finds, including several specimens of prehistoric sculpture such as an ivory bird and a human-lion hybrid figure similar to the Löwenmensch figurine but only 2.5 cm tall. In 2005, one of the oldest phallic representations was discovered.[1]
In 2008, a team from the University of Tübingen, led by archaeologist Nicholas Conard, discovered an artifact known as the Venus of Hohle Fels, dated to about 35,000 to 40,000 years ago.[2] This is the earliest known Venus figurine and the earliest undisputed example of expressly human figurative art.[2] The team also unearthed a bone flute in the cave, and found two fragments of ivory flutes in nearby caves. The flutes date back at least 35,000 years and are some of the earliest musical instruments ever found.[3] In 2012, it was announced that an earlier discovery of bone flute fragments in Geißenklösterle Cave now date back to about 42,000 years, instead of 37,000 years, as earlier perceived.[4][5]
UNESCO world heritage application[edit]
In January 2016, the federal government of Germany applied for the status of World Heritage Site for two valleys with six caves named Höhlen der ältesten Eiszeitkunst ("Caves with the oldest Ice Age art"). The site would encompass areas in the Lonetal (valley of the Lone) and the Achtal (valley of the Ach) both in the southern Swabian Jura. The former includes the caves Hohlenstein-Stadel, Vogelherd and Bocksteinhöhle, the latter Geisenklösterle, Hohle Fels and Sirgensteinhöhle. Each valley would contain a core area of around 3 to 4 km length, surrounded by a buffer zone of a least 100 m width.[6]
In the argument why these sites deserve recognition as a part of the universal human heritage, the area is described as the source of the currently oldest (non-stationary) works of human art in the form of carved animal and humanoid figurines as well as the oldest musical instruments. Their creators lived, were inspired and worked in and around these caves. The caves also served as the repositories of the figurines which may have been used in a religious context. In addition, they were the venue where performers used the excavated musical instruments and where the social groups lived from which the artists sprang.[7] [6]
A decision by the committee is expected in July 2017.[8]

I Went To Arizona and All I Got Was This Lousy Picture
Last year, when Kayla came out to Las Vegas, I'd neglected to bring my camera and she'd forgotten the memory card for her camera, so we ended up with a single picture taken on my parents' iMac. This year, despite having a professional photographer living in the house, we took not a single picture.
Which, perhaps, was okay, because we didn't do a lot of photograph worthy things.
I have always really valued low-maintenance friends - people I don't have to worry about entertaining or being really funny around. I don't particularly love coming home from spending time with people and feeling absolutely exhausted.
Of course, I did feel absolutely exhausted when I got home last night, but that was more due to the fact that Kayla and I got virtually no sleep in three days (staying up until 1:30 or 2:00 or 3:00 nearly every night). Kayla was the definition of low-maintenance; we sat around all Friday morning reading (I finished two books that day); we watched 10 episodes of Gilmore Girls; we went to four different clothing stores; we went to two grocery stores, a book store, and the public library; we went out to lunch at Cafe Rio. Basically we just really enjoyed ourselves.
I never worried once the whole weekend if I was boring Kayla (perhaps I should have) or if she was counting down the minutes until I left or if she was offended that I graded 50 essays while we watched Gilmore Girls.
What I did think was that I should probably move next door to Kayla so I could come over every single day and sit at her kitchen counter while she made me lunch. Because while I want a low-maintenance friend, I like to be a high-maintenance one.

I was recently in AZ w/my sister....we got one picture together...what the heck? What that means is that you are so comfortable....engrosed in visiting/reading/whatever....that you realize-best time spent together.ReplyDelete
How was the Cafe Rio? Was the food as good as here, was it busy like here? What were your thoughts? As you probably know, Rio is setting huge volume records here, but it's always been a question as to whether it would do well away from here.ReplyDelete
That sounds perfect to me!ReplyDelete
Awesome! Glad you got away and had a good time. Food, watching shows, shopping, and reading sounds like the perfect trip to me.ReplyDelete
What is it about Gilmore Girls that is so cathartic????ReplyDelete

P.N. 03, directed by Shinji Mikami, is described as an action game starring a female soldier named Vanessa Z. Schneider. She's a mercenary armed with a high-powered laser--and she's a robot killer. Robots at a colonial settlement have gone wild on a nearby planet, and it's up to Vanessa--whose parents were killed by the same system overrunning the settlement--to stop them. Not much is known about the game's action, but it is described as containing dodging capabilities and transforming mechs. The game is due to hit Japan in spring of 2003.

The Supercomputing Challenge has been a very interesting learning experience. I enjoyed working on our project with my teacher, team, and mentor. It was a fun and exciting way to learn about computers and programming; to meet kids my age with similar interests; to view state-of-the-art technology; and to meet the people who work with it. When I am a senior, I look forward to taking full advantage of the many scholarship opportunities offered to Supercomputing Challenge participants. I believe the Supercomputing Challenge is a great opportunity for students to show their creativity and intellect in using computers to solve today problems. This is important because today Supercomputing Challenge contestants are the forerunners of tomorrow innovative technology. - Daniel L. Parrott
