[Added 12-5-2006 by Ord. No. 1579-2006]
It is the intent of this article to create a realistic opportunity for the construction of a portion of the low- and moderate-income housing obligation of the Township of Hamilton under New Jersey's Fair Housing Act, N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301 et seq.; the rules of the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, N.J.A.C. 5:93-1 et seq.; and the Mt. Laurel doctrine, as well as to settle litigation entitled Harding Highway, LLC v. Township of Hamilton, et al., Docket No. ATL-L-155-04 (Mount Laurel). Furthermore, the purpose of a planned village development (hereinafter "PVD") is to facilitate the development of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households within designated portions of the regional growth area while continuing to encourage innovations in residential development and supportive public, quasi-public and neighborhood commercial uses that promote a sense of community for the benefit of the development's residents, minimize the proliferation of roadways, encourage functional open space and passive recreational facilities and, at the same time, encourage land development that is fiscally responsive to the community and yet environmentally sound.
Because this article provides specialized regulations for housing types, land uses, subdivision improvements, street standards, site planning, and building design within the Planned Village Development Zoning District, the standards and requirements of this article supersede and replace all conflicting provisions in the Hamilton Township Developmental Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance. All ordinances of the Township of Hamilton that are inconsistent with the provisions of this article are superseded by the provisions of this article.
Any tract of land developed as a PVD shall be held in common ownership or, in the case of multiple ownership or where contiguous parcels are owned, shall be developed according to a single plan with common authority and common responsibility. For the purposes of this section, properties separated only by an unimproved public right-of-way shall be considered contiguous.
A PVD shall include deed-restricted affordable housing units that generate COAH credits, through actual dwelling units and/or rental bonuses or other credits. The affordable unit set aside determination shall be determined by § 203-246B of this article.
When a developer of a PVD opts to include age-restricted housing as an element of the development, said developer will be required to file deed restrictions on the age-restricted units as established in § 203-89C of the Code of the Township of Hamilton. The developer shall submit, as a condition of final approval for a PVD, a draft of such declaration or deed to the Planning Board for its review and approval, which deed or declaration shall further contain satisfactory procedures for monitoring and enforcing such restrictions in the event of any violation thereof. The declaration or deed shall be recorded in the County Clerk's office prior to the issuance of any building permit.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated and shall supplement or supersede the definitions in § 203-18:
- A dwelling unit with a sales price or rent within the means of a low or moderate income household as defined in N.J.A.C. 5:94-7.
- For the purpose of a PVD, an age-restricted unit shall mean an adult household as defined in Subsections A and B of the definition of a "planned adult community" found in § 203-18.
- Dwelling units that are not restricted to low- and moderate-income households that may sell or rent at any price determined by a willing seller and a willing buyer.
- For the purpose of a PVD, a stacked townhouse shall mean a residential structure of not more than three stories or 40 feet, consisting of a multistory residential unit located on top of, in part or whole, either a single-story residential unit (a.k.a. a flat unit) or another multistory residential unit each with an entrance on the first floor, each separated by a fire-rated assembly, each intended for occupancy as separate living quarters for two or more families, each located on a single lot if available for fee simple ownership, and each available for ownership in fee simple or as condominium, or for rental.
- For the purpose of a PVD, a townhouse shall mean a dwelling unit in a residential structure of not more than three stories or 40 feet, containing not fewer than three one-family dwelling units each with an entrance on the first floor and each being separated by a fire-rated assembly and each intended for separate ownership or rental.
The following uses are permitted in a PVD.
Residential development, including:
Churches, schools or similar facilities, subject to the additional requirements of Article XV of this article.
Community buildings, pools, and similar recreation facilities designed as part of the PVD, subject to any pertinent special regulations.
The mix of various uses is designed to encourage a mix of housing types to promote diversified population and housing.
Required housing mixes.
No more than 30% of all dwelling units may consist of two-story apartments over retail space such as would be found in a traditional main street area.
A minimum of 40% of all dwelling units shall consist of one or more of the following: single-family detached, single-family attached (duplex), townhouses or stacked townhouses, provided that the number of market-rate non-age-restricted single-family detached units is a minimum of 20% of total units.
No more than 25% of all dwelling units may consist of age-restricted housing in three-story buildings constructed over parking.
Affordable housing set asides.
Twenty percent of the total units developed in a PVD shall be set aside for occupancy by low- and moderate-income households ("affordable housing") if the affordable units are offered for sale; or
Fifteen percent of the total units developed in a PVD shall be set aside for occupancy by low- and moderate-income households if the affordable housing units are offered for rent.
Affordable housing units may be age-restricted, provided that the number of age restricted affordable units does not exceed one-third (33.34%) of the total affordable units in the PVD.
Affordable units shall comply with the New Jersey Barrier-Free Subcode accessibility requirements, N.J.A.C. 5:23-7, as required by the state Fair Housing Act, as amended by P.L. 2005, c.350.
The affordable housing shall be developed and sold or rented in accordance with the current applicable COAH rules, including requirements on: split between low- and moderate-income housing, bedroom distribution, range of affordability, pricing and rents of units, affirmative marketing, affordability controls, and construction phasing with the market-rate units developed on the tract.
Pinelands development credits (PDCs).

No PDCs shall be required to be purchased with respect to any affordable units constructed in an inclusionary project.
Age-restricted units. The maximum number of age restricted units in a PVD shall not exceed one-third (33.34%) of the total units developed.
Neighborhood commercial (NC) uses, as established in § 203-58, are permitted in a PVD with the intent being to encourage development of mixed commercial/residential structures (e.g., apartments/condominiums over commercial space) in a traditional main street configuration, subject to the following provision.
Up to a maximum of 15% of the land area in a PVD may be used for commercial purposes, provided that no more than 5% of the land area is occupied by commercial uses without a residential component.
The commercial area shall be integrated into the internal circulation system of the PVD (roads, bikeways and walkways) to encourage and promote activity and usage by the residents of the PVD and adjacent development.
Open space shall be designed as an integral part of all PVD projects and shall provide a range of opportunities for active and passive recreation as well as protect and preserve the natural environment.
The minimum area of total open space in a PVD shall be 40% of the developable land within the site. For the purpose of this calculation, total open space shall consist of all areas not covered by buildings or impervious surfaces, including, but not limited to, perimeter buffers, yard areas of single-family and townhouse units, recreation areas, parking lot areas and islands that are landscaped or unpaved, etc.
Active recreational facilities shall be provided in accordance with § 203-158, as appropriate, in relation to the number of dwelling units proposed in the project.
Except as provided for in Subsection C(1) (below) the developer shall be permitted to buy out of the active recreation obligation only in accordance with § 203-158I, however, recreation fees applicable to affordable units shall be 50% of the amount required by that section.
The recreation fees applicable to Block 1134 Lot 1 shall be as follows: market-rate units, $2,500/unit; affordable units, $1,250/unit.
The distribution of developed and undeveloped common open space shall be designed to the maximum extent practicable to coincide with the orientation of the housing units and the user population in a manner that provides uninterrupted and easy access.
Linkage of developed open space shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be provided as a system of pathways (walkways, bikeways, etc.) which connect developed open spaces.
Development in the vicinity of undeveloped open space shall be designed to protect the site's natural resources, animal habitat, flood-prone areas, etc. The undeveloped open space shall be utilized to provide protection for critical ecosystems within the project site and to preserve in perpetuity the natural assets of the project area.
All open space shall be recorded in the master deed for each project to reflect its permanency for such space. Such document shall be submitted to the Planning Board prior to final approval.
The maximum residential density shall be 5.45 dwelling units per gross acre, provided that the net density shall not exceed 6.5 dwelling units per acre.
Residential density shall be calculated using the total gross area of the site, including areas used for neighborhood commercial development.
The minimum buffer between any residential lot and adjacent roadway shall be 75 feet from an existing off-site arterial roadway and 50 feet from an existing off-site local or collector street or road.
No principal or accessory building shall be located within 40 feet of the property line of the site proposed for PVD development, or within 40 feet of an internal collector street connecting to an off-site collector or arterial roadway.
Commercial structures, including mixed commercial residential structures, shall be set back a minimum of 50 feet from an existing off-site arterial roadway and 40 feet from an existing off-site local or collector roadway.
The minimum lot area, minimum lot widths, minimum yard dimensions, minimum privacy yard areas and maximum lot coverage specified in Table 1[1] shall apply to all residential development in a PVD.
Editor's Note: Table 1, Residential Housing Types in a Planned Village Development, is included at the end of this chapter.
Except as provided in Subsections B through E (below), the height of principal buildings shall not exceed three stories and 40 feet; provided, however, that three-story buildings containing two stories of apartments over a retail level shall be permitted as an element of a traditional main street design.
The height of accessory uses shall not exceed one story and 15 feet.
Buildings containing age-restricted multifamily housing with parking on the ground level with three residential stories above shall not to exceed 45 feet from grade on the front facade and shall not exceed 55 feet from grade on the rear facade, where the rear facade grade is lower than that front facade grade, to permit parking entrances and exits.
Mechanical equipment may exceed building height by five feet and shall be shielded from view to the maximum extent possible.
The height of ornamental architectural structures that are not intended for occupancy and are located in a common area of the PVD (e.g., clock towers, etc.) shall not exceed 40 feet.
The following parking standards shall be required for the specified uses listed in a planned residential development:
Parking for the residential component of a PVD shall be regulated by New Jersey Residential Site Improvement Standards.
See § 203-60 for on-site parking requirements applicable to commercial and mixed commercial/residential uses.
Off-street on-site parking facilities shall be limited to passenger vehicles of permanent residents. Storage of trucks, boats, trailers, etc., in multifamily projects shall be prohibited.
Design controls applicable for off-street parking facilities are set forth in the site plan and subdivision regulations of this article.
Parking for community buildings, if any, shall be based upon one off-street on-site space per 120 square feet of building area.
Bike racks permanently in place shall be provided at all recreational facilities based upon estimated user demand.
Parking for recreational facilities shall be provided based upon the need generated by individual facilities.
All planned residential developments are required to submit a detailed landscaping plan, prepared by a professional landscape architect, pursuant to requirements established in Article XIV, Environmental Review and Site Analysis.
Landscaping objectives and uses of plants. Landscape design is an important element in creating a well-conceived planned residential development; accordingly, in site design it has a role greater than just screening and aesthetic function. Thus, the following elements are set forth to identify the areas of landscaping design required as part of any planned residential development.
Architectural uses. Plants, singly or in groups, form walks, canopies or floors of varying heights and densities creating walls of privacy, plant canopies, plant floors, etc.
Engineering uses. Engineers are concerned with such items as glare, traffic, noise control, soil erosion, etc. Utilizing well-chosen and properly placed plant material, noise, soil erosion, glare, etc. can be reduced.
Climate control uses. Shade trees, windbreak trees and snowfence plants are examples of plants used for climate control.
Aesthetic uses. Plants can be used to blend together various unrelated elements, such as buildings, utility structures or inharmonious land uses. Landscaping can be very effectively used to improve a building design by complementing a building's design through color, texture, seasonal configurations, highlighting areas of interest using landscaping creatively with lighting and signage, etc.
Water as landscape. Water areas can be a handsome and often functional addition to a site design by utilizing detention basins, serving engineering purposes, as part of the landscaping element. Through creative engineering and good landscape design, such areas can add substantially to the quality of any planned residential development.
Wildlife habitat. Wildlife habitat is an important element in large tract development where large areas of open space are to remain undisturbed. Designs must inventory this habitat and assure its continuity, either through supplementing habitat, preserving it or both. Accordingly, the design for development must address such concerns with concrete alternatives.
Planting requirements. All areas not covered by roadways, pedestrian walkways, parking areas, etc. shall be landscaped with natural materials according to a landscaping plan submitted as part of the site plan application process. The minimum number of trees planted in lots as buffers or in parking areas shall be as follows:
Canopy trees. There shall be a minimum number of five canopy trees, three inches in caliper measured six inches from the top of the root ball, per each proposed residential unit. Clump or flowering trees incapable of being measured six inches from the top of the root ball shall be at least 12 feet high at the time of planting.
Shrubs and ornamental planting. (Note: The developer shall select all plant material in this category from approved Pinelands plant material. To assure variation, plant material shall include at least four distinct categories of plants. Such plant material shall be at least 40% mature at the time of planting.) The minimum number of this type of plant material shall be 20 plants per dwelling unit for townhouses and single-family housing types and 15 plants per unit for garden apartments. The intent, however, is to assure the proper uses of understory plant material along the edges of buildings, walkways, bases of signs, bases of streetlights, creation of plant walls, highlighting entranceways, restricting entry to certain areas, basic ornamental planting, etc.
Special landscaping emphasis. The following standards shall be supplemental to those requirements of Subsection B above in cases where the Board determines that such requirements have not been met through the minimum standards set forth in Subsection B.
Parking lots. All parking lots in a planned unit development shall be landscaped in the following fashion:
At a minimum, every 10th parking space shall be interrupted with a canopy tree three inches in caliper measured six inches from the top of the root ball. Such tree shall be planted at least four feet into an island perpendicular to the curb so that it is clear of vehicle overhang and opening doors. The tree shall be so positioned and the island designed so that the landscaping will not interfere with pedestrian circulation.
All overhang areas shall be designed with a hard surface from the outside edge of the wheel bumper (head of parking stall to a distance of three feet beyond that point).
Dwelling unit to edge of parking. The area extending between the wall of a dwelling unit to the edge of any parking area shall be landscaped to achieve a visual separation with a combination of hedges, shrubs, bollards or other similar techniques.
Dwelling unit to edge of street. The area extending between any dwelling unit and street edge shall be landscaped with screen, buffer or ornamental planting as required to provide an appropriate transition between the two elements.
Privacy areas. The patio and similar areas designated for privacy shall be landscaped with screen, canopy and ornamental planting.
Maintenance, storage and refuse collection areas. These areas shall be landscaped with buffer and screen plantings to provide visual physical separation of such elements from contiguous areas.
Landscaping for energy conservation. Landscape planting generally throughout the site shall be utilized to provide buildings with summer shade canopies, maximum winter exposure to sun, windbreaks, etc.
Wildlife habitat. The utilization of landscape planting to promote the creation and/or preservation of wildlife habitat must take form at two levels. The first effort is required in the areas referred to as "developed common open space." These include parks, playgrounds, backyards, walkways, etc., in which plant material selected to satisfy the needs of the human population can also have food and shelter value for bird and small game species. The second effort lies in the protection of the habitat value of the undeveloped open space and augmenting such habitat with plant material that further promotes food and shelter values.
Developed common open spaces. The developed open spaces throughout any project area shall be landscaped according to an overall plan incorporating existing plant material and supplementing it.
Utility fixtures, such as transformers, heat pumps, etc., throughout the site shall be screened with a combination of fencing and landscaping.
The rear yard and first floor of the rear outside wall of any single-family dwelling, attached or detached, must be buffered/screened from the view of any street classified as a collector, arterial, freeway or expressway.
Maintenance of landscaped areas.
All landscaped areas shall be maintained in a neat and professional manner throughout the life of the project, to include the replacement of plant material as required.
The agency, office or person charged with such responsibility shall be designated. All areas of the site plan to be under a common association responsibility shall be designated on the site plan.
Retention of native plant material. All efforts shall be made to retain natural plant material as required by § 203-182. Clearing shall be limited to roadways and building sites and other areas essential for the development pursuant to those sections relating to fire management and vegetation as provided for on the approved grading and soil erosion and sediment control plans.
Substitutions of existing plant material for required landscaping. Subsequent to construction of each project phase, the developer may request the Planning Board to verify the acceptability of existing native plant material and its suitability as a substitute for any proposed landscape plan.
Location of landscape material. All landscape material shall be located so as not to obstruct vision in parking areas, along roadways or in other areas accessible to motorized vehicles.
In the Pinelands Area, landscaping plans shall incorporate the elements set forth in § 203-185A(4).
Signs permitted in a PVD are identified in Article XIII, Signs, of this article. All signs utilized in a PVD shall, at a minimum, be consistent with the above section, as well as:
A lighting plan shall be required for a PVD which adheres to the submission standards in Article XIV, Environmental Review and Site Analysis.
At a minimum, lighting shall be provided for the following functions and areas within a planned residential project. Types of lighting required:
Streetlighting along all project streets.
Cutoff luminaire: not to exceed 25 feet in height. Such luminaires are to be limited to the collector streets in project areas.
No-cutoff luminaire: not to exceed 15 feet in height. Such luminaires are to be limited to minor or local streets.
Luminaire with less than ninety-percent cutoff: not to exceed 25 feet in height.
The average maintained illumination measured at the pavement shall be 1.2 footcandles.
Pedestrian lighting shall be provided along all walkways and areas frequented by pedestrian traffic that are not adequately reached by other lighting sources. Pedestrian lighting shall:
Security lighting shall be provided throughout the site which shall:
Light all security-sensitive areas, such as but not limited to areas between buildings, community buildings, pool areas, recreational areas, etc., when not in use.
Light portions of bikepaths not lighted by other sources.
Light addresses for individual buildings.
Light any areas deemed to require lighting for unforeseen security purposes as recommended upon inspection of site plans by the Hamilton Township Police Department.
Ornamental lighting shall be provided to highlight key areas of projects, such as but not limited to entry points, landscape clusters, etc.
Recreational area lighting shall be provided for all recreational facilities incorporated as part of the recreational plan for any project. Such lighting, at a minimum, shall be installed to provide adequate illumination by which each designated recreational activity can be safely carried out. In such cases, luminaires may extend to a height of 50 feet as an exception to any regulations stated herein.
All luminaires provided shall be vandalproof and be oriented in such a fashion to preclude glare upon surrounding properties or roadways, both in and contiguous to the site.
Fences permitted in a planned village development are identified in § 203-173, Maximum height requirements for fences, walls and hedges.
In the event that an applicant is unable to achieve the densities set forth in § 203-249A of this article because of the requirements of the section relating to wetlands protection, the Planning Board shall waive or vary such requirements of this article regarding distances between buildings and the required housing mixes as are necessary to allow the developer to achieve the densities authorized in § 203-249A. In administering this provision the applicant shall have the burden of demonstrating that the assigned densities are not achievable, and the Planning Board shall have discretion to determine which requirements of this section shall be waived or modified.
Planned development: A development in the PVD Zone District shall be considered a type of "planned development" and "planned unit development" and shall be reviewed by the Planning Board in accordance with the procedures specified in the Municipal Land Use Law for a planned development at N.J.S.A. 40:55D-39.c., -43, and -45.
General development plan: General development plan approval, with vesting for 20 years, shall be available for a development in the PVD Zone District.
General development plan, land use plan: The land use plan in the general development plan application shall identify any area(s) that may change in use from all residential to nonresidential or mixed residential and nonresidential.
General development plan, housing plan: The housing plan in the general development plan application shall address the general locations of affordable housing units and how the construction phasing requirements of applicable COAH rules will be met.
The Planning Board shall conduct its review of any development application in PVD District in accordance with the fast-tracking requirements of COAH rules, currently codified at N.J.A.C. 5:94-8. The applicant for a development application in the PVD Zone shall be entitled to invoke any rights conferred by COAH rules, including the right to request relief from cost-generating application requirements and development standards that are not essential to protect the public health and safety and reasonable variances and waivers necessary to construct the inclusionary development, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:94-8. These waiver and variance provisions shall not apply to development standards adopted by the Township that were established by the New Jersey Pinelands Commission pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-6 and the requirements for the purchase of PDCs.

Illicit goods are often poor quality and therefore pose a risk to public health. At the same time, a clear link can be drawn between trafficking in illicit goods and other forms of transnational organized crime. Enforcement operations in the field are vital in order to remove illicit products from circulation and to dismantle the illegal networks behind these crimes.
Representatives from a variety of agencies and sectors – police and customs officers, prosecutors, investigative experts – attend training courses and workshops in advance of the operational activity. These hands-on workshops equip participants with the knowledge they need for the raids and follow-up investigations, in particular, enabling them to better distinguish fake products from genuine ones.
Operations coordinated by INTERPOL target a wide range of goods, including food, drink, fuel,vehicle parts, pesticides, toys, cosmetics and electrical products. Activities are carried out in all regions of the world.
Some of our operational highlights are summarized below.
Opson VI
Coordinated by INTERPOL and Europol and involving 61 countries, this global operation led to the seizure of more than 9,800 tonnes and 26.4 million litres of hazardous fake food and drink. Counterfeit alcohol, meat and seafood were the most seized products.

Operation Opson VI: Report (December 2016 - March 2017)
Opson V
Coordinated by INTERPOL and Europol, this global operation seized more than 10,000 tonnes and one million litres of hazardous fake food and drink in operations across 57 countries. Among the seizures were nearly nine tonnes of counterfeit sugar contaminated with fertilizer (Sudan), and 85 tonnes of olives which had been 'painted' with copper sulphate solutions to enhance their colour (Italy).

Jupiter VII
Operation Jupiter VII carried out almost 2,000 raids in 11 countries in South America, leading to the seizure of some 800,000 fake goods worth approximately USD 130 million. Seized goods included clothing, fertilizers, windshields, alcoholic drinks, cigarettes, cosmetics, electric and electronic components, mobile phones, fuel, and construction materials. More than 800 people were either arrested or placed under investigation. Notably, an individual who was the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice was arrested in Colombia.

Maya II
Carried out across the Americas and the Caribbean, this operation seized car parts, fuel, food, detergent, cigars, shampoo and steel, among other fake products. Operation Maya II saw more than 2,000 interventions by police, customs, investigators and Intellectual Property units at markets, border control points and shops across 19 countries and territories. In total, the seized goods were worth nearly USD 60 million.
Read more about Operation Maya II (June 2015)
Illicit goods worth nearly USD 50 million were seized under Operation Real. Conducted by police and customs agencies across 10 countries in Asia, the operation seized nearly 1 million fake or illicit items including alcohol, cigarettes, cosmetics, clothing and electrical goods. More than 660 individuals were arrested or placed under investigation.
Baby food, cosmetics, televisions, mobile phones and toys were among goods worth USD 5.6 million seized during Operation Wipeout. Conducted across seven countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, the operation resulted in some 644,000 goods seized and more than 260 individuals arrested or placed under investigation.
Al Shaheen
Operation Al Shaheen was the first INTERPOL-coordinated operation to combat trafficking in illicit goods and counterfeiting held in the Middle East. The operation carried out more than 600 raids across Qatar at shops, markets and retail outlets. It confiscated some 140,000 illicit products and placed 147 individuals under investigation.

We're heading off to the cabin in the woods with Mike's side of the family this weekend. There will be games, gifts, food, laughter, football, and lots and lots of kissing/playing with our sweet niece. Pret-ty excited!
Please excuse the quietness of the blog lately…the holidays have officially taken over our lives for the time being. I'm sure, and I hope, that you're busy with your own holiday celebrations, so you don't need me distracting you anyway. 😉
Until we meet again, here are a couple posts I did last year regarding eco-friendly and homemade holiday decorations:
Green Christmas Decor
Green Christmas Decor II
And more homemade decor ideas that will transform your home into a cozy holiday scene without a lot of plastic crap that will sit in a landfill for eternity after you're done with it:
Ice lanterns {we're going to do this for our New Years Eve party! You can buy an ice mold -or- you can cut the top off a milk jug and fill it with water!}
Plaid-shirt ornaments {I'd try to use something other than styrofoam for the inside, though…}
Paper-bag flowers {to go with your coffee-filter poufs, of course!}
Yarn balls {would make a beautiful centerpiece for the table, piled in a bowl. Make them smaller and with Christmas-colored yarn, perhaps.}
Happy Holidays, all you wonderful readers!

Hi there,
I was looking for the madsonic source code, but could only find the last release in it's own version-specific repo ( github MadMarty/madsonic-server-5.1 ). I'm a bit confused, but from I could gather that is how source for madsonic is released? No open repository to follow (and possibly contribute to) development?
Fair enough if that's the case, but it'd be good if that was stated somewhere, and maybe the reasoning, since it's kinda unusual. It says on the madsonic homepage it's an open-source project, so I sorta assumed it'd work as most of the other open source projects with easy access to the sources. Also, there is no link form the homepage to the latest source, which would be handy, coulda saved me a bit of time looking around. Also, build instructions in the Readme would be cool, having problems getting the debian installer to build.

'Emergency! We are on the ground!' -- radio traffic from deadly Amtrak train derailment
TACOMA, Wash. -- The call came in from Amtrak 501 on its way to Portland on Monday morning.
"Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! We are on the ground!," the train's conductor reports to dispatchers with BNSF Railway.
Broadcastify.com provided the audio recordings via ABC News.
"We are on the bridge over I-5 near Nisqually ... on the freeway," the conductor reports. "Need EMS ASAP. Looks like they are already starting to show up."
A dispatcher asks, "Hey guys, what happened?"
"We were coming around the corner to take the bridge over I-5 there right north of Nisqually, and we went on the ground."
The dispatcher asks if everyone is OK.
"I'm still trying to figure that out. We got cars everywhere and down onto the highway."
Late the train reports that one engine is on the ground.
"All other cars appear to be on the ground. It's quite a mess."
The engineer suffered a head injury, the train reported. Both his eyes were swollen shut and is was bleeding from the head.

Last week, I told my son to finish his cheeseburger if he expected to eat dessert. I then laughed at the absurdity of having to finish a delicious, juicy burger before going on to chocolate. Oh, to be a child again. I find myself saying these things countless times a day: The things that would only make sense coming from a parent.
Turns out I'm not the only one. Here are 15 things parents on my message boards have uttered lately, much to their dismay ...
1. DO NOT pee in the litter box!!!!
2. Let go of my nipple. It's not a handle.
3. Don't lick your brother.
4. Lamps are not swords.
5. If you blow (your nose) hard enough, I won't have to wipe it so much!
6. Don't put the dog toys in your mouth!
7. Girls don't like it when you touch their boobies. Mommy's boobies are only for the baby.
8. I don't care how many boogers you've got, please don't blow your nose on the couch.
9. You can't take your potty to bed with you.
10. No you cannot go play in the snow in your underwear!
11. Please stop trying to stick my glasses up my nose.
12. Please take your breakfast out of your pants. No! Don't. I'll get you another muffin.
13. Yes, sweetie, if you finish your piece of chocolate, you can have an orange.
14. The carpet is NOT toilet paper.
15. Please don't put any more crayons in the air conditioner.
What have you said lately that only a parent would utter?

Mama's Whatnot
Well, you didn't ask. The government is insisting. I doubt very seriously "the gov" really cares what I'm doing here at Family Stories. However, since I am a person that follows all the rules [*snort.* Notice that I didn't say whose rules they were that I'm following.], I thought I'd let you know exactly what I'm doing here at Family Stories. My blog didn't start out as a way to pay some bills. I simply had a story or two to tell, and I thought I'd share them with you, so that maybe you could get excited about your own family stories. Ah, but then real life butted [Yes, I'm making-up a word. You should be used to that by now.] it's head into a rather perfect plan. [If I do say so myself.] You know, "real things" like my daughter will be driving in 3-1/2 years. [Gulp.] "Real things" like my kids' college education because my husband and I don't want them living with us forever. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
Remember, You Asked...
Anyways, it seems the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would like me to let you know [like, you couldn't figure it out all on your own] that, hey, if you click on an ad on my blog, then I might be getting some type of commission or compensation of sorts. [Not that I know what one of those looks like because I haven't received one...yet.]
Please Note:
Most of the ads I have on my blog are for companies that I have used in the past or do use currently in writing my family stories. [You didn't think I did all that research by myself, did you?] In addition, all of my ads do pertain to family, history, genealogy, family stories, research, and the like. Every now and again, I do mention one of the companies in my stories, but only if it pertains to the research I did and the resulting story. I am not paid for these mentions [but if someone wanted to pay me...]. No, I won't do it, at least, not on Family Stories, but maybe on another blog. [These blogs are addicting, aren't they?] Also, I don't do reviews on Family Stories simply because I haven't figured out a way to craft a story around the review of a genealogical product or service. But if I have an "Eureka!" moment one evening as I'm drifting between wakefulness and "totally out-of-it complete with drooling" slumber, then you'll be the first to know and I'll revise this disclosure doodad thingy. [I think the proper, business-like, totally government, thus boring, term is "disclosure statement." Yup, I'm making a statement, all right. *snort.*]
Mama's Whatnot
Basically, what I mean is if anything changes, I'll let you know because the Lord knows I don't want any trouble around here. Well, other than the trouble I have of figuring out all my "Mary's," "Polly's," [rolling eyes heavenward] murders, and whatnot. This way, I know that you know [Goodness, what is it that we know?] ~ Oh yes, that we all know that Mama's got some family stories that she wants to share with you AND Mama's got some bills to pay.
There. That's Family Stories' Disclosure Statement in a nutshell [or two].

I really enjoyed your post! I added some 'what-nots' to my website, too, and have wondered, should I? Should I not? You made me feel good about it. IF, like you said, I ever get a commission!ReplyDelete
(Smiling broadly here) I did click on the blog post name thinking I was going to read about your mother's "what-nots" though! But not disappointed!
Have a wonderful Merry Christmas!
I love it! I especially enjoyed the "Mary" "Polly" remark. I have some of those lurking in my tree too!ReplyDelete
By the way, you mean you aren't raking in the dollars with your blog?
Sherry, I'm glad you liked it. Just wanted to make something boring fun. I think it's OK to advertise. I'm not pushing anything I haven't tried and/or the products are definitely related and helpful to those who might be interested. Also, I love the word, "whatnot."ReplyDelete
No, I'm not raking in the bucks with my blog, but I haven't made a concerted effort to market Family Stories to outside the "genealogy" world. Now, I'm starting. Good luck with your own new blog journey, and may it be everything you want it to be. =)
Add me to the list who thought this was an article about your mother's whatnot shelf. I can't believe the hoops you have to jump through.... And we're in the middle of that paying for college thing - ouch. Funniest disclaimer I've read.ReplyDelete

Una Healy collaborates with McDonald?s to launch its ?Happy Readers? scheme for kids
The Saturdays singer Una Healy has partnered with McDonald's to promote the powers of reading for kids…
Una Healy has teamed up with McDonald?s to launch its Happy Readers scheme for 2018. The campaign, now in its fifth year, wants to get more kids reading by giving away free books with every Happy Meal.
Una, who is mum to six-year old Aoife and three-year old Tadhg, showed off her new blonde hairstyle for the first time in the campaign imagery; a new look for the popstar since she announced her split from husband Ben Foden back in July. Partnering with Penguin Random House and the Roald Dahl Story Company, the eight new books feature illustrations from Dahl?s long-time collaborator Quentin Blake, with stories that draw on some of his incredible characters, from Fantastic Mr Fox to the Enormous Crocodile.

This isn't a failsafe against Templar's defeat, but a way of strenthening NATs and alliances, as you can see, shadowmaster has a closer link with the people from the Eorlingas, this is what I hope to do. I still hold any NAT that we already have, but, if for any reason an ally of mine is attacked, unless it is against the Templar intrest, our Troops will be mobilised to help as soon aspossible. I hope that this to you will show that I have changed, a decrease in pointless messages and aneffort to only make allies from now is the plan from the Empire Courts, this is the dawn of a new day for me, and which will continue long into the future I hope.

|サーラ Sāra
|Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Lost Tower
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
|Presumed Deceased
Sāra (サーラ, Sāra) was the former queen of Rōran before it was destroyed.
Sāra was born to Sēramu, the Queen of Rōran. When she was a child, her mother was approached by a man called Anrokuzan who convinced her to use the power of the Ryūmyaku, an ancient chakra flow deep underground Rōran, to build huge towers in the kingdom. When Sēramu found out that Anrokuzan was only using her for his own purposes, he murdered her secretly by stabbing her in the back. Sāra became the Queen in her mother's place, unaware that Anrokuzan was using her as a puppet Queen.
Ever since she was a child, Sāra knew she would become Queen and guide her people. When her mother died, Sāra found comfort from Anrokuzan, who kept telling her that her duty was to protect Rōran, the beautiful city that her mother built. As a result, Sāra came to view the kingdom as a treasure from her mother and vowed to protect it with her life. Even after six years, Sāra still mourned her mother's death and constantly sang the song they usually sang together.
Sāra has a stubborn yet brave personality. Even though she refused to believe that Anrokuzan was deceiving her, once she found out the truth, she did everything in her power to protect her people from him.
Sāra has long red hair with spiky bangs on her forehead, violet eyes, and fair skin. She wears purple and pink robes, a golden necklace with a red jewel around her neck, gold bracelets around her wrists and brown sandals. However, after she became determined to save her people from Anrokuzan, she tore her robes apart so she could move easier and put her hair in a ponytail.
In her first appearance, she wears a light pink jacket, green shorts, long black thigh high stockings with rose-pink sandals and her hair also kept in a ponytail.
Like her mother before her, Sāra has the power to feel and control the Ryūmyaku, an ability unique to the Queens of Rōran. As a result, Sāra is capable of sealing its flow and prevent anyone from using it.
Plot Overview
When Naruto Uzumaki goes back in time, he wakes up to Sāra's singing. When he asks her where he is, Sāra runs away and goes back to her palace, where she remembers when she used to sing with her mother and cries. Anrokuzan, who has become the Minister of Rōran, tells her that she must show herself to her people, who are there to praise her and her mother for building the city. Sāra agrees and goes to the balcony of her palace, however, as she greets her people, someone pushes her from behind and she falls. Fortunately, she is saved by Naruto, but she slaps his face repeatedly before thanking him.
When Minato Namikaze and his team appear, Naruto attacks them, thinking they were the ones after Sāra's life. Minato tells them that Anrokuzan is, in fact, Mukade, a Suna missing-nin who came from the future, like Naruto, and plans to use the Ryūmyaku's power to build weapons and take over the Five Great Shinobi Countries. Sāra refuses to believe them and runs away to prove Anrokuzan's innocence. Minato tells Naruto to follow and protect her.
On her way, Sāra is captured by a group of women and children who ask her to give them back their relatives, who were taken by Anrokuzan by her orders. Sāra tells them that she didn't give any orders so Sarai and Masako take her and Naruto to a parade that Anrokuzan started ever since Sēramu died, to cheer up Sāra and her people. Sarai tells Sāra that everybody makes fun of her and calls her "Puppet Princess". Naruto then proves that everybody in the parade are puppets controlled by chakra strings coming from the pipes that feed the city with Ryūmyaku's power by cutting some of the chakra strings. When a puppet of Sāra appears, proving that Anrokuzan was planning on turning her into one, Sāra runs away again. When Naruto finds her, she tells him that after her mother's death, Anrokuzan was the only one who was there for her. Naruto tells her that he is an orphan as well but he had a master who, even though is dead, left him his will and that Sāra's mother must have left her something important too and that she should think about what her mother valued and she would know what to do.
Inspired by Naruto's words, Sāra goes with him to the city's underground where they discover that Anrokuzan is using the people he kidnapped as slaves to build his Puppet Ninja Force. Sāra manages to stop the flow of Ryūmyaku directed to the factory, however, Anrokuzan appears and tells them that since the Puppet Army is finished, he doesn't need her to control the Ryūmyaku anymore and attacks them. Naruto is restrained by the puppets, which drain his chakra, while Anrokuzan finally reveals to Sāra that he was the one who killed her mother when she refused to assist him. Overcome with grief, Sāra falls on her knees and cries, but Naruto is able to save her from being killed, using the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Anrokuzan fuses with his puppets and attacks them. Fortunately, Minato and his team reappear and fight with Anrokuzan while Sāra frees the men he kidnapped and brings them to their families on the surface. However, Anrokuzan follows her, determined to kill her because she's the only one who can stop the flow of Ryūmyaku and prevent Anrokuzan's regeneration. To protect herself, Naruto gives her his Chakra Blade. Since Anrokuzan can't withstand the power of Ryūmyaku in the garden where Sāra and Naruto first met, she takes her people there and opens the door using the Chakra Blade and seals it. While Naruto and Minato fight Anrokuzan, Sāra manages to stop the flow of the Ryūmyaku and Naruto kills Anrokuzan with his and Minato's Supreme Ultimate Rasengan. After Minato seals the Ryūmyaku completely, Naruto and Yamato, who was also sent to the past, start to glow because time is returning to normal. So the future won't be changed, Minato decides to erase everybody's memories. As Naruto disappears, Sāra tells him that she'll do what she has to do for her people even if Rōran is destroyed, because that was what Naruto taught her.
Eventually, Rōran vanished during the war but Sāra managed to save her people. Before she died, Sāra had a daughter to whom she gave Naruto's Chakra Blade, as a precious treasure she received from a hero in a dream, to inherit her will and keep protecting her people.
When Naruto came back to the future, he met her daughter, who even though he couldn't remember, seemed very familiar.
- In Masashi Kishimoto's artwork of the movie, her eyes are depicted as red while, in the movie, they are violet.
- According to the movie's soundtrack list, the song Sāra and her mother sang is called "To Light".

'Shutter Island': The Movie Review
02.17.2010 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
The new psychological thriller, "Shutter Island," based on the popular novel by Dennis Lehane, comes from the dexterous and practiced hands of legendary director Martin Scorsese. The film is deluged with a plethora of twists and turns, brilliant acting by Leonardo DiCaprio and jarring scenes of suspense created and framed to perfection by its helmer. You should be excited to see this film… the entertainment value is high and the production quality is of the highest caliber. It's definitely a must see movie!
For those of you who unfamiliar with the plotline, we'll reveal only a succinct version. The film adaptation tells the tale of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a prisoner from the island's fortress-like mental ward. Not much can else be revealed because anything more can ruin the movie experience.
One thing you will take away from this movie is Scorsese's prowess in the visual department. Some of the camera shots seen make you wish the projectionist could pause them and play it over and over again. After seeing all of DiCaprio's films, Shutter Island, in my humble opinion, is perhaps one of the top 3 best performances of his career (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Shutter Island and Basketball Diaries, in order). That is what you await at your local theater this weekend.
A major subtext in the movie's theme is a question asked by all of us, at one point or another in our lives: Am I mad, or is the world around me mad? What's real and what is not? (I've been there before). Just like Hitchcock, the story is constantly deviating us from our path of clarity, creating scenes that don't really exist and submerging us into a nightmare we can't manage to wake up from.
At first, the film seems to be just another intriguing noir detective story but it is so much more than that. The references and homages in the film are multiple, everything from "Out of the Past" to "Shock Corridor" and "The Snake Pit" to Hitchcock's "Spellbound."
"Shutter Island" is a world where nothing is what it appears to be. It's suspenseful, mysterious, ambiguous and insane. Now that sounds like a fun movie!
