Haley's single, "Free", will drop March 20, 2012.
Haley's on a mini-tour of Hot AC radio stations this week in the midwest and Texas. Here are some of the key highlights of the first half of the radio mini-tour hitting the states of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Her team this trip included Neara Russell (keyboard), John Notto (guitar), and Chiara Kramer (management).
The first visit was to Louisville's 102.3 The Max (WXMA) for a small audience. There are photos of this below (bottom).
The next day was Indianapolis' 99.5 WZPL Smiley Morning show where they gave us 30 minutes of Haley on the air! Thanks! Including the first performance of "Free" on the radio ever. Fittingly for Haley, it was a live performance. WZPL interview! Here.
Later in the day, they dropped by Cincinnati's Q102 WKRQ for a private function for the staff. Some good photos below.
They finished by flying to St. Louis for tomorrow's events. Look for them on Fox's Morning News at 8:50AM Central. Full list of known events are at "Free" the Single Radio Publicity Week Schedule, March 4

Blogging is not as easy as most people make it out to be. It takes consistent time and effort to produce a quality blog, let alone one that makes some money.
But the most important thing needed to become a successful blogger is passion for your subject. Dr. Jennifer Lyerly, a fellow optometrist from North Carolina, blogs about various issues in the field of optometry. Her knowledge and passion for the profession is evident from every post she puts up on her blog, Eyedolatry.
I asked Dr Lyerly some questions about her life and blogging career. Read on to learn more about what drives Dr Lyerly to produce consistent quality content for fellow optometrists and anyone looking to learn more about the profession:
Tell me a little about yourself and your career:
I graduated from the Southern College of Optometry in 2011 and started blogging right after graduation. I've been working in group private practices since graduating, and I've found I really enjoy working with a team of doctors and having a personal relationship with a boss who is also an optometrist. I'm constantly learning from doctors with more experience where I work at Triangle Visions Optometry, and I also feel like I bring something new and insightful to the table as a millennial doctor on the team.
When and why did you start blogging and who is your primary audience?
I was studying to take North Carolina boards, and also organizing my thoughts on patient care for my first job when I decided to write my first blog post. The blog was a great way to think about a topic and work out how I would describe a medical condition or an optics question to a patient. Most readers on my blog are curious patients, wanting to learn more about their eyes. Since I've been putting more focus on women's issues in optometry, I have seen a huge influx of readers that are new graduates and student ODs. My goal is to make the blog informative to people with various levels of education in eyecare, so that an optometrist, a student, and someone completely inexperienced with our profession would all feel like they took away valuable information from a post.
How do you manage your time between blogging and seeing patients?
It's difficult! My rule is that I never mix blogging with work. At work I see patients and am a doctor only. When I leave the office, I don't take home patient care so I'm free to work on anything I want. I try to write 1 good quality post a week. More than that, and I just don't have time to research and edit enough to feel like I'm delivering quality information.
What has been the biggest challenge in your blogging career?
Dealing with criticism has been tough. When you put yourself out there, you're going to have people who don't agree with you. I've had a surprising number of people criticize my support of daily contact lenses on the blog, or leave a comment meant to insult me or belittle me about "not being a real doctor." I was even blocked on Facebook for a few months when someone upset about how many posts I've done about daily disposable contact lenses (they wear their Biomedics contact lenses 4-5 months at a time and are just fine!!) reported me as a bad URL.
Any negative feedback I get just drives me to want to write better and better articles. The world is largely uninformed about what we do as optometrists and what is true about their eye health, and I feel like my blog gives patients at least one place where they can get true, medically supported information. Not everyone will agree with the science, but that doesn't mean they don't need to hear it.
If you could give some advice to your first year optometry school self, what would you tell her?
I was so focused on classroom excellence in school, I didn't participate in leadership groups as much as I should have. Looking back now, optometry school is truly a place of social connections as much as learning. As a natural introvert, it took me being out of school and having to talk to new people every 20 minutes in patient care to realize that making connections with people isn't scary or intimidating — it's actually pretty easy and very rewarding. I've almost become an extrovert at this point and life is so much more fun this way!
What are some of the major challenges that young optometrists face nowadays?
Where I practice in North Carolina, the choices of where to work seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year. Our industry is going through major ownership consolidation and I fear that lack of competition and choice for where to work will drive down our salaries and our quality of life as doctors. Negotiating what you want is essential from your very first contract – not just for you, but for every doctor that comes after you. We have to stand up for what our education and skills are worth.
Have you always enjoyed writing?
In elementary school, I wanted to become an author when I grew up. I haven't written a book (fail), but blog – author has to count for something.
Are there any blogs you visit regularly?
With industry blogs I consistently read Eye See Euphoria, Maino's Memos, Eyecing on the Cake, Optomly, and of course, The Broke Professional.
Where do you see yourself professionally in 5 years?
I plan to keep practicing, blogging, speaking, and serving the profession of optometry in anyway that I can. I'm passionate about the success of our profession and I am excited about any opportunity I get to make our future brighter. I hope in 5 years I can look back and feel like I've been making a difference in our profession, no matter how small the impact is.
Where do you see your blog in 5 years?
I started the blog as a way to supplement my learning, and I can't picture a time where there isn't a topic I want to learn more about. But in addition to educational articles, I also want to use the blog to help our profession. I want to work with companies and industry leaders for the next generation of young female ODs to champion the future of our industry. I'm really passionate about making private practice survive in optometry, and embracing social media is the best way for independent doctors to compete with large corporate entities — you need a personal, unique presence and you need to connect with people!
Through the blog and the social media experience I've had, I've also started a new business with Dr. Glover at Eye See Euphoria where we are offering social media management for exclusively optometrists at Defocus Media. It's impossible to know what the social media landscape will be in 5 years, but I want to be right there, representing optometry and connecting with other doctors and patients to grow our profession.
What is your favorite book?
This is always a hard question for me — I love reading and there are so many books that have spoken to me. I really love The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath because I think many young women go through the feelings the main character has in that book — feeling confused about what and who you're supposed to become and how you're supposed to do it all, feeling like what you're creating or delivering to the world is not valued. Knowing other women before me were overwhelmed with expectations from society, their families, and themselves makes me feel more comfortable with imperfection and not being able to do it all.
What do you enjoy doing when you're not blogging or seeing patients?
Traveling, eating, and dancing at weddings. Being married to my best friend, I feel like we are always planning our next adventure.
Any words of advice for young professionals seeking to make an online presence?
Don't judge your worth by the number of readers or number of followers you have. Don't judge your worth by one person's negative comment. If you look at what you're doing online, be it blogging or on social media, and you are proud of it, then you are success! And you know what, if you're producing good content, your readership and followers will grow naturally anyway.
Big thanks to Dr Lyerly for the interview and giving some insight on what it takes to build a successful blog while holding down a full time job.
Her blog is called Eyedolatry. Check it out for consistent quality information about eye conditions and the field of optometry.

Yesterday I had a strong urge to eat pancake. I'm not those type of person who categorizes dishes according to time of the day. I usually eat whatever I want whenever I want. Most people would say pancakes are best eaten during breakfast. But I'd say pancakes are best eaten ANYTIME of the day. Be it breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Pancakes make a good dessert too, if you serve them like I do. Chocolate all the way !
Psstt...don't mind me. I don't eat healthily so that's why I don't care much of what I eat.
So yesterday I made this gorgeous, yummy pancake cake. I love pancakes but it's very tedious to prepare them the usual way. Pour one ladle of batter on the pan and wait for it to be golden brown, flip it over and wait some more. That way is definitely not for me. So I went on google oven-baked pancakes and voila ! Thousands of recipes to choose from. Me likey ! In the end, I chose a recipe that makes the pancake cake just the way I want it. Basically, I just need to know what temperature I should heat my oven to and how long should I bake the pancake.
When I look at the end result it looked pretty blah to me. So I decided to put some chocolate layer on top of the cake. I melt some semisweet chocolate chip and pour them on top of the cake.
The cake can be enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate and your favourite book. Yummmssss !
Everyone in the house loves it. Even my dad ! He usually tend to not eat anything that I cook that is out of the ordinary. When I cooked pasta, he never eat them. When I baked brownies, he didn't touch them. But last night, when I was helping myself to second he asked me to cut him a slice. Wow whee ! Imagine how glad I was.
It made me very happy when someone appreciates what I cooked. =)
So the ingredients are....
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk pancake mix ( I used the ones that just need to add water )
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp sugar ( I used 1 1/2 tbsp. )
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chip
1. Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees Celcius. Grease cake pan with butter and make sure you cover all the surface of the cake pan. This to ensure your pancake will not stick to the pan. If using nonstick, it is also advisable to grease the pan lightly. ( I used 8 inch round nonstick cake pan. )
2. Mix all the ingredients except chocolate chips until completely well mixed. Then, fold in the chocolate chips into the pancake mixture.
3. Pour the batter in the cake pan and place the pan in the oven for 22-25 minutes. ( I left the pan in the oven for 23 minutes. )
4. Cool for a while before serve.


text: I just unboxed the enail I ordered from High5 last week, everything was looking great until I looked at the coil...it's dirty and rusted . Bummer, I was hoping to use my new enail! I emailed High5 requesting a coil exchange...has anyone ever had to do an exchange with them? Are they easy to work with? If they do not have an easy exchange process, will any other company's coils work with the High5 enail unit? Or do only high5 coils work with their units? Thanks!

There's no time this weekend for my customarily lengthy blog post. I'm off in a few minutes to Philly to see one of the world's greatest private collections of art. And when I return tomorrow afternoon? You guessed it – the NFL playoffs.
But before heading up I-95, I wanted to say a few words about the book seemingly everyone is talking about this week, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," by Amy Chua. Admittedly, I may be a tad biased, since I'm good friends with the author's sister, yet I truly believe that my general attitude about this book is unaffected by that relationship. Instead of reviling the book's author, as many are doing, I praise her. She has written a candid and courageous memoir about a topic that this country had better start confronting: how the hell we should be raising our children.
I have found nothing in life, and I mean NOTHING, more challenging than being a parent. You approach the job thinking that your kids are as malleable as clay, and then at some point, you realize that some of them are more like rodeo horses, and your job is simply to hold on and pray. At least that's the way it feels sometimes, when you learn the extent to which teenagers are capable of acting like jerks or idiots.
In light of that fact, I can fully appreciate why Amy Chua would be tempted to steer away from the rodeo metaphor and break her kids down so that they more resemble race horses who needed to be whipped by a jockey in order to reach their greatest speeds. Her style is not exactly what I would advocate, but I'll tell you this – it's sure preferable to the opposite approach, which is often affectionately known as the "Cookie Mom." I'm referring to the laissez-faire style, in which parents are satisfied with being their kids' friends, and don't bother to instill much discipline or push their kids to realize their potentials.
Chua and I agree that it is a parent's job to push our kids – and I mean push hard. Where we differ is on the destination. I want my kids to develop moral and social skills every bit as much as intellectual skills. And while I, like Chua, also want my kids to achieve artistically, I don't believe that you can do that by coercing them to practice, practice, practice (whether they want to or not). Real artistry requires creativity, which is based on freedom and an attitude best expressed by the French phrase, joie de vivre. Stated simply, creative people need to have plenty of down time – time to hang out with friends, sit in front of a mindless TV show, or just plain lie in bed and day dream.
The fact is that we're not race horses – or if you prefer a different metaphor – we're not rats racing each other in a maze. But I'll tell you this much. I may chuckle when I see parenting styles like Amy Chua's, and yet at least I have a modicum of respect for the product of such styles. At least I see these kids growing up so that they'll make something of themselves. The far bigger problem with our society are the parents who set LOW expectations for their children. And when those kids grow up, all they can do is eat, drink, passively entertain themselves, and do an uninspired job at work. When we have our national debate on parenting – that latter approach is what we really need to put on trial, not the style illustrated by Amy Chua.

Daniel, maybe we need to put BOTH extreme approaches "on trial" and look harder for an optimal balance between the two.
- Daniel Spiro said...
Moderation is clearly called for. But I think it's important to note that the problem isn't "pushing" your kids, but the directions in which Tiger Moms push their kids. If they were raised to be as socially, morally and spiritual adept and creative as they are raised to be knowledgeable and marketable, I'm not sure anyone would look askance at parental intensity.

If it were up to Dan, he'd set up a big concrete building in Anacostia and set of the Federal Bureau of Naanying. It would establish fines for too many trips per month to MickeyD's and over Wii use. ....and we'd pay another cadre of GS-16s for the privlege

I woven upper yoke area, extending down the tops of the sleeves. The collar and placket are included in this, something I appreciate. I tend to dislike buttons on knits as they seem to pull at the buttons if you utilize any of the benefits of the stretch. The woven collar might also stand up a bit better then a knit one would, better protecting the neck.
In theory this design would add some weatherproofing and durability to the tops parts of the garment, the only thing I find odd is that the armpits are barely included in the woven section, perhaps one of the places where knit is the most desirable:

I received a lovely message today from Rachel of Rachel Lucie Jewellery Designs, letting me know she has included one of my items in a Yorkshire treasury on Etsy.
She chose my Summer Pudding bracelet.

I've decided to change my avatar, it used to be a big juicy red Murano heart, but I think the new one is more representative of the stuff I'm making at the moment. What do you think?

Fred Smoot Said He Played With 'Several' Gay NFL Players
Former NFL corner Fred Smoot is launching a podcast. And as such, he went to Reddit to do one of those AMAs to promote it. During the course of the online interview, he was asked a couple questions about the presence of gay players in the NFL. Fred Smoot claims that while Michael Sam may have been the first openly gay NFL player, he certainly wasn't the first gay player.
The whole thing is so nonchalant and subdued, it's almost heartening. Here's a transcript of the exchange:
Q: Did you encounter any gay players?
A: yes. several.
Q: At the professional level? Was it a don't ask don't tell kind of thing, or did everybody on the team generally know?
A: everyone knew
Q: We're they treated noticeably different? Or did nobody really care?
A: no one cares
There ya have it. There were gay people that everyone knew about and no one cared and no one talked about it. And I'm sure everyone was happy with things that way.

Here's a new drawing for Grist's Health Advisor Magazine, It illustrates an article about the new 'listening' 'programmes at the NHS engaging with patients and staff to uncover concerns.
Today's been lots of fun, I had a photo shoot for Cosmopolitan Magazine with an interview about my career. The flat was scrubbed to within an inch of its life, and the studio had a rather drastic tidy up before hand to make it all a bit more presentable! I really enjoyed getting my hair and make up done and the team was really friendly. I hate having my photo taken but the photographer was great and really put me at ease.
This week I've been drawing doughnuts for the Phaidon baking book, finishing off animal illustrations for Countryfile and zipping off for meeting about new (and exciting) projects. This weekend I am looking forward to a well earned rest! x

First of all, much thanks to notaconnoisseur for taking over the blog while I vacationed in
As a self-proclaimed reader, one of my favorite stops in
The first time I encountered Tess was in a high school English class. My immediate reaction to the book was dislike. Everything goes wrong in Tess's life, and I found her troubles depressing and self-fulfilling.
My English teacher insisted Alec raped Tess, but I was a teenage-know-it-all and knew the relationship was consensual. Why, I reasoned, would Tess return to Alec if he raped her? And what was so bad about him in the first place?
As I've mentioned before, I always root for the wrong man, and no matter how despicably Alec acted, I wanted Tess and Alec to be together. I found Angel insipid and hypocritical. He was much better suited to Tess's younger sister, Liza Lu.
I thoroughly disliked the book and placed it on my most-hated list.
Fortunately, I have read the book several more times since leaving adolescence. Age does wonders for perspective (though Jane Eyre insists that wisdom is not a result of age alone but "depends on the use you have made of your time and experience").
I now realize that Tess is not just foolhardy, and Alec is not a charming rake. She is young and impressionable. Regardless of what she feels for Alec, he has power and control over her.
Angel, on the other hand, is still insipid and hypocritical.

Speaking to reporters after chairing the weekly State Cabinet meeting, Musa, who is also Finance Minister, said the Volvo cars, to be acquired by State Government-linked Angkatan Hebat Sdn Bhd, would be used by the 12 ministers and 16 assistant ministers.
"Senior civil servants, including the permanent secretaries in the various ministries, will continue to use the Proton Perdana cars," he said.
My Say:
Going by the explanation by the Chief Minister, its make sense that the government opted for Volvos for Ministers and Assistant Ministers.
But blogger mindacergas said the decision was politically incorrect that Sabah government to replace Perdana cars with Volvos.
Looks like Sabah is taking opportunity to jump on the "lets ditch our Proton's" bandwagon, and it is really quite hard to blame them.
The good news is that Perak. Selangor and Terengganu have all paved the way forward. Terengganu was the first to get the ball rolling and of course it was super controversial, as the had chosen to go with Mercedes for the replacement of the Perdana's. When Selangor and Perak went with Toyota CAMRY's it was very uneventful because Toyota's makes absolute sense.
Lets look at why Toyota's make sense:
Toyota has grown from nothing to be the number 1 car company in the world, as measured in Sales & Profitability
On a Global basis - Toyota is number 1 in quality and reliability.
Toyota has for years had the highest quality ratings of any car manufacturer
Toyota has the highest customer satisfaction rating and the highest customer retention rate among all brands
Year on year Toyota sales in Malaysia have been growing - a sign of a strong franchise
Total cost of ownership is low due to high reliability and low service cost
Resale value is strong relative to all other brands.
Toyota has a strong dealer network throughout the country , dealers are well trained and have all the proper equipment for servicing and maintaining the cars.
On a personal level - you hardly ever hear anyone complain about the cost of owning a Toyota.
Back to SABAH, switching out of Perdana's is not suprising.
Unlike Toyota, VOLVO is in trouble and Ford is looking to sell it off
On a Global basis - Unlike Toyota, VOLVO has never been regarded as a brand that is number 1 in quality and reliability.
Unlike Toyota, VOLVO has never been known for quality. Instead VOLVO's legacy is safety but even then other brands have overtaken VOLVO. In 2008 the AUDI A6 and AUDI A4 were placed ateh safes large and mid sized sedans. (here)
Unlike Toyota, VOLVO does not have the highest customer satisfaction rating and the highest customer retention rate among all brands
Locally it is the same story.
Unlike Toyota, year on year VOLVO sales in Malaysia have been declining
Unlike Toyota, total cost of ownership is higher due to lower reliability and higher service cost
Unlike Toyota, resale value is weaker relative to all other competing brands.
Unlike Toyota, VOLVO has a limited dealer network throughout the country (and none in SABAH)
On a personal level - you will hear owners complain about their VOLVO - love the car hate the cost.
I think the people of SABAH really need to ask some hard questions. If the goal is to save cost - then the benchmark surely must be the CAMRY and all else must be measured against the Total Cost of Ownership of a Camry - like for like.


text: Exbourne's 'inspirational' community shop and cafe celebrates 5 years of success Mel Stride, the MP for Central Devon said "The Burrow has been a huge success, providing a valuable amenity and post office service to residents not just in Exbourne but neighbouring parishes as well. I know it has been especially useful for residents who don't drive and can't easily get to Hatherleigh, North Tawton or Okehampton. It is an inspiration to communities who have lost their post office or last shop that with a vision and a lot of hard work rural communities can fight back. Everyone involved should be very proud." Selling everything from fruit and vegetables, to locally sourced meat, milk and bread, the shop has been going from strength to strength since it opened in 2012. At the end of July customers, volunteers and local councillors gathered to cut a cake to mark the occasion, at a special event in the purpose built underground shop. From cider makers to bakers, The Burrow stocks items from some of Devon's best local food and drinks producers and those gathered spent the evening enjoying many of them. Local Borough and County Councillor James McInnes says "I can't believe it's five years since the Burrow opened. It not only gives Exbourne and the wider area an excellent shop, but you can also drop in for tea, cake or lunch. The Saturday morning breakfast is very popular. All this has been achieved by a dedicated team of residents. Firstly, in achieving planning permission in difficult circumstances and secondly in giving a friendly and comprehensive service. The design of the shop is very innovative, making best use of the site and I' m not surprised the whole enterprise is getting awards" Sally Hordern was one of the people who campaigned to get The Burrow built, after the village shop and post office closed. Sally says "It's amazing what we've been able to achieve in the last 5 years. Everyone involved in The Burrow is incredibly proud of it. It's such a big achievement for a small village". One regular customer says "There aren't many community shops where you can buy everything from fresh fruit and veg to cooked ham, washing-up liquid and a newspaper, but you can at The Burrow. Having the post office means you can also get cash, buy stamps, post a parcel. We're so lucky to have it. At a time when small villages are losing services, Exbourne, which also has a pub, garage and the community shop, really is bucking the trend". The Burrow has one full time member of staff, but volunteers play a massive part in keeping the shop and café going. Anyone interested in helping out, even for a few hours, is very welcome. The Burrow is often highlighted as a role model for other villages wanting to set up their own community shops. Most recently it was used as a case-study by the national organisation The Rural Coalition in their report into the future of the countryside. A real trailblazer. So, plenty of reasons to celebrate!.

I seen a 1:1 scall of a formula 1 in chocolate...I think they could have molded it without it costing as much as or more than the actual car.

I'm recording this here mainly in self-defence, because my legs have taken a turn for the worse and the nurses refuse to accept that this is as bad as I believe it is. For me it's not a belief issue – I can plainly see that all is not well.
On the left ankle, the shiny area is raw flesh, where the skin has eroded under compression bandages with which, for now, at least, I have refused to continue. On Sunday, that area was the size of a 10p coin – that it is now so much larger, 11cm x 9cm, approx, indicates that something has gone badly wrong.

On the right leg, just below the knee, you can see another eroded red patch, 9cm x 7cm. That has been there for some time but was less severe and more diffuse. Now it has become much more severe since Sunday. More severe, but smaller; in nurse world that apparently equates to better. In the real world it's a bloody sight worse.
When I saw how bad things had become, added to the severe burning pain and the interminable itching which has got steadily worse since the compression was first applied a week ago yesterday, I decided that, until these areas heal, I would discontinue compression.
The auxiliary nurse had been delegated to remove the old bandages and apply the base layers of bandages and padding before the staff nurse arrived to apply the compression layers.
I said, politely, that I was having no more compression until I'd healed, which wasn't well received, and the aux nurse went off to consult with the staff nurse who was with one of my neighbours upstairs. She came back with instructions to carry on as she'd been instructed!
I asked – still polite but fading fast – what part of "No compression" we were having problems with, as it wasn't going to happen.
Off she went again to talk to the staff nurse, bemoaning the fact that she had to go upstairs. I suggested that since the staff nurse was coming to see me anyway, there was nothing to be gained by trekking off upstairs again, but off she went.
Staff nurse arrived.
Now she was here on Sunday, and was unnecessarily hostile for some reason, so I'd already decided I wasn't taking any crap from her. And she gets ready to apply the fucking compression!
I said No!
"Are you refusing treatment?"
"No, I'm refusing compression until these lesions heal. We can revert to the standard treatment and come back to compression later."
"There's nothing wrong with your legs – all the nurses say they're getting better!
"They were – they certainly aren't now – I'm going backwards, not improving!"
"But nothing – look at my damn legs – those lesions were tiny just2 days ago."
Turns to aux nurse "Was there anything on the dressings?"
"No, nothing."
Explosion of disbelief and exasperation from your scribe!
Luckily, I still have the dressings – the photo is the part from my left foot/ankle. Apparently bloodstains equate to nothing in District Nurse Land! Where there's a natural crease in front of the ankle, the skin has split and it's penetrated into the flesh, hence the blood. Staff nurse sees this as not a problem!
And the dressings from my right leg were wet – this is also not "nothing".
The shiny, wet, red erosions are caused by lymphatic fluid, which is corrosive , and the compression bandages hold it tight against the skin, which is seriously bad news as it can dissolve the skin and eat into the flesh, which hurts like a bastard – another reason for suspending compression. and also for not having the ultrasound scan.
After further exchanges of pleasantries, I pointed out that compression had only ever been experimental. The consultant asked me how I felt about it, I said I was willing to suck it and see. He said, "Good man, that's what I like to hear!" patted me on the shoulder and wandered off. That was the last I saw of him, which was unfortunate as there was a lot I needed to say to him.
The important thing, though, is that the compression was just on a trial basis – that's what suck it and see means – and that was quite clear to the consultant. That he apparently didn't tell the nurses – does he repeat every conversation with patients verbatim? I seriously doubt it – was cause for griping. Sod that – the fact that I'm telling them should be good enough.
I also made it clear that I felt that burying lesions deep under compression bandages for days, which made it impossible to see if they were getting better or worse, or even if they were infected, was a long way from being a good idea. Not well received, but as my legs have been infected for most of the past 6 months, not a risk I'm willing to take. As my GP so charmlessly pointed out, an infection could kill me.
There's something else that worries me too. On several occasions, the nurses, when describing my problems to a third party – as it might be, the tissue viability nurse – have clearly been describing ,well, not me!
It's understandable, as they see dozens of patients in a week, and it's quite impossible to remember everyone in detail. I, on the other hand, have to remember only what I feel and what I see – so who's likely to have the clearest memory? Yep, me. And it's the same for any patient who actually pays attention (though based on what I saw in hospital, that's damn few!).
The problem is that the nurses' recollections are treated as gospel, and mine generally ignored. Hell, I'm just the patient, what do I know! And that can get dangerous as well as infuriating.
So, in future, photographs, previously only taken occasionally, will become routine, then I will have visual evidence and who remembers what won't matter as much.
The other thing is that it appears no-one ever disagrees with the nurses, and that they are so used to getting their own way that they simply don't have what I'd consider a normal response when someone – like me – opposes them. I found this in hospital too, when I introduced a limit on how many holes they were allowed to poke in me without finding blood (two, and then only briefly, not spend five minutes – as has been done – futilely poking about in the same hole).
But I digress. When balked, the reaction was anger. That's wrong on so many levels.
I understand the frustration, but surely if a patient, like me, who has so far gone along with everything they've thrown at me, no matter how painful or inconvenient, suddenly balks and refuses to budge, it's their duty is to find out why (starting with the assumption that there's probably a good reason isn't a bad idea), and address the problem, not sulk like a spoiled brat and take it as a personal affront! My legs – my choice. Patients' rights trump petulance every time.
One final comment about leaks and compression. I've asked on several occasions what would happen to the leaks, and the stock answer is "Oh, they'll be pushed back into the body!" To which I say "Surely they'll simply take the line of least resistance, which isn't to be forced back against gravity and against the outward flow, but to use the channels already created?"
Blank looks all round.
And it should always be born in mind that every patient is different, and what works for most patients almost certainly will not work for all. There will always be exceptions, and the system has to be flexible enough to accommodate them (us).

ROSEMARY MILL, PETITIONERv.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION, RESPONDENT
Appeal from the Order of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission in case of Rosemary Mill v. Pennsylvania Electric Company, No. Z-19071983.
Joseph P. Green, Jr., for petitioner.
Velma A. Boozer, Assistant Counsel, with her Shirley Rae Don, Deputy Chief Counsel, and Joseph J. Malatesta, Jr., Chief Counsel, for respondent.
President Judge Crumlish and Judges Blatt and Doyle, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Blatt. Judge Mencer did not participate in the decision in this case.
Author: Blatt
[ 67 Pa. Commw. Page 598]
The petitioner, Rosemary Mill, seeks review of a decision of the Public Utility Commission (PUC) which adopted the order of an administrative law
[ 67 Pa. Commw. Page 599]
judge requiring her to make full payment of her monthly electric bills, plus $15 per month installments on past unpaid amounts. The order resulted after a hearing on her complaint that the Philadelphia Electric Company's threats to terminate electrical service to her residence*fn1 should be postponed under PUC regulations. 52 Pa. Code §§ 56.111-56.118. She alleges that a physician had certified that an occupant of her home suffered from a serious illness which would be aggravated by a cessation of service.*fn2
The administrative law judge found that the medical condition of the petitioner's son would be adversely affected by a termination of service, but he concluded that the tariff provisions of the Public Utility Code (Code), 66 Pa. C.S. §§ 1303 and 1304 required the petitioner to pay at least the amount of her monthly charges plus a portion of her arrearages, even though, as he recognized at the hearing, she would be unable to meet such a payment schedule during the winter months.*fn3
This case involves interpretations of both the Code and the PUC's regulations. Sections 1303 and 1304 of the Code provide in pertinent part:
§ 1303. Adherence to tariffs.
No public utility shall, directly or indirectly, by any device whatsoever, or in anywise, demand or receive from any person, corporation, municipal ...

Smel-ly Girls, Smel-ly Girls
I want to share one of my favorite places of late: Pacifica Perfume
You may already know them, because apparently they're in all the cool stores like Whole Foods and Sephora. But I rarely go to stores, cool or not.
I know this company via their web site and through my very dear friend, the Princess of Sweden. And you know, when she likes something, darling, it is well worth a try.
(Although, she can HAVE Matthew I-can't-keep-my-shirt-on McConaughey because by my lofty standards, he isn't worth the price of a Goodwill tank top.)
Anyway, focus! Pacifica Parfumes online store is having a BOGO on their solid perfumes right now! The scents are out of this world and the little compact case is so cute and portable! They make cute stocking stuffers if you're lucky enough to still do that sort of thing around your winter-holiday-of-choice.

I wish you could scratch and sniff the web site; I highlighted the one I love. Go ahead, try to see if you can suddenly smell patchouli. I triple dog dare ya.
And thus my Wednesday Wish for you (as I try not to lose my head with excitement about Chicago guy's arrival tomorrow night):
May you always be smelly scented just the way you want!

I have neither a Whole Foods or a Sephora and never heard of Pacifica Perfumes, but because you said so (and because my birthday is around the corner) I will check it out and see if something "sounds" good enough to tickle my fancy and perhaps hint to the hubby about.
I do love my smellies (which oddly enough is what I have always called my perfumes) and am usually just a Victoria Secret gal, but I can be swayed. Good lord can I be swayed ;)
Hope you have a splendiferous time with Chicago tomorrow!!
And I would love DETAILS.

I am thankful for accurate recored keeping. Mine. I know I can get a little crazy about details and calendaring and to-do lists…. And I sometimes drive my friends and family crazy with it all…. but today…. I am so thankful for it. Those records caught a $110 error.

I think you are absolutely right, Shayna! I am a bit paranoid that way too, but with good reason! When I was a Deputy Principal, our County Council used to deal with school finances. Then, just as I became a Principal, the decision was made by the Government that all schools should have their own total budgets and run them themselves. At that point, I took on a Bursar and made sure that she had a 'foot in both camps' – both in school and at County level. Many schools didn't do this! At one point during my years as Principal, she found £5000 (I think at the time that was around $10000) that we had not been allocated that we were entitled to! So, it is important to keep track, just as you obviously do! Well done!
Wow! That's a lot of money…. especially for a school! I'm not sure where I figured out the wisdom in keeping my own records… but I hope my daughter learns it, too. People mean well, but they err. I don't want to be, or her to be, left with the short stick when it does. I'm glad for your students you also had the foresight. 🙂

So if you've been paying attention to the Spring 2008 collection, ancient greek is definately in, toga-style, but a little bit more modern drapping (duh). Rachel Roy must have looked over people's shoulder and realized this in advance, she's a greek admirer, or she was just a pro- at trend prediction. Either way, I found this dress on Diabro.net (awesome site, i'll explain why in the next post). I like it because of the drapping. I always love some skin, especially the shoulders. I think it's so sexy. For my style, I would remove the other sleeve because it already has the shoulder drape going on and I think the dress covers the breasts so you dont' have to worry about wandering eyes or cold wind if you remove the sleeve. But the sleeve intact is just fine. Another good thing about the dress is that you'll be in style before the Spring 2008 collections are even out. Alberta ferretti, vera wang, Hermes, etc all had some greek-inspired clothes in their Spring 2008 collection. ANOTHER thing about this drses is that it's only $278.50USD, which is probably/most-likely cheaper than what you'll find at Hermes and other names I've mentioned.

I am finally getting around to sharing my Christmas knits. I finished the Sea Urchin Beret from Tend Magazine. It was surprisingly easy and enjoyable knit. I think I will be making another in the future. I also finished a Milo Sweater for our little guy. My latest project is the Downton Abbey Cowl which is a perfect knit for this time of year since we have just started Season 5.
I am reading Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. I am not sure if I love it but I'll finish it and see how I feel about it once I am done.

The Politics
Publisher: University of Chicago PressFormat: Paperback
This new translation of one of the fundamental texts of Western political thought combines strict fidelity to Aristotle's Greek with a contemporary English prose style. Lord's intention throughout is to retain Aristotle's distinctive style.The accompanying notes provide literary and historical references, call attention to textual problems, and supply other essential information and interpretation. A glossary supplies working definitions of key terms in Aristotle's philosophical-political vocabulary as well as a guide to linguistic relationships that are not always reflected in equivalent English terms. Lord's extensive Introduction presents a detailed account of Aristotle's life in relation to the political situation and events of his time and then discusses the problematic character and history of Aristotle's writings in general and of the" Politics" in particular. Lord also outlines Aristotle's conception of political science, tracing its relation to theoretical science on the one hand and to ethics on the other. In conclusion, he briefly traces the subsequent history and influence of the "Politics" up to modern times."Lord's translation is clearly the best available."—"Claremont Review"

West Ham United Ladies put up a brave display but new FA Women's Premier League Southern Division champions Tottenham Hotspur ultimately proved too strong at White Hart Lane.
The historic fixture was played at Spurs' soon-to-be demolished stadium on Wednesday evening, a year after West Ham had welcomed their London rivals to the Boleyn ground for a fixture in similarly emotional circumstances.
With 2,140 fans present, including hundreds of travelling Hammers, the unbeaten home side showed why they have won all but one of their league matches this season to complete a 4-0 victory that saw them secure the Southern Division title.
A competitive first half ended with Spurs a single Josie Green goal to the good, but the hosts netted three more times after the break through Wendy Martin, Nikita Whinnett and Bianca Baptiste.
For West Ham, who welcome Tottenham to Thurrock FC in their final league game on Sunday 14 May, Chloe Burr tested former Hammer Toni-Anne Wayne in the Spurs goal, fired a second effort narrowly wide and saw a third blocked before half-time.
Into the second half and Jasmine Auguste and Shannon Albuery both went close, but Greg De Carnys' team just could not find a way past Wayne and her well-drilled defence, which has now conceded just six goals in 17 league matches.
"It's obviously not a nice feeling being on the end of that scoreline and to watch them win the league, to get the trophy and do it at White Hart Lane as well," De Carnys admitted.
"But we have to look at the positives. We obviously now have to play Tottenham again and we have to learn from what happened again in the game.
"I think in the first half it was quite an even game, I'm sure that they would agree, but unfortunately towards the end of the second half their quality and fitness levels started to show. There was some important defending that had to be done at the end of that second half."
Now we have got to dig deep and find something special for the last game of the season and that is what we are hoping to do
Greg De Carnys
Defeat at White Hart Lane leaves West Ham ninth in the eleven-team table, four points ahead of Queens Park Rangers Ladies and one ahead of Swindon Town Ladies in tenth.
Both teams below the Hammers have games in-hand, but De Carnys is hopeful his team will not be bottom of the pile come the season's end.
"We have to also recognise the position that we are in the league, we're currently third from bottom now, four points ahead of Queens Park Rangers, so even little things like the blocks on the line we made could be really important if it came down to goal difference," he continued.
"We are where we are because of all the games that we have had this season. Now we have got to dig deep and find something special for the last game of the season and that is what we are hoping to do."
Whatever happens in the remaining weeks of the 2016/17 campaign, De Carnys believes he and his coaching staff will be working with a talented and improving squad next season.
"We are a young squad who are building a project for the long term and to have such a group of young players – we have an average age of 19 in the squad – is great for the future," he confirmed.
"We were taking on a Tottenham team that is going to be an FA Women's Super League (WSL) 2 team next year and a good WSL 2 team I think.
"Our girls have a lot of things to learn but also have a lot of potential because they are young, ambitious and they have got quality. They are still gelling as a team, I think those sorts of things will grow and hopefully we will be in a similar position to Tottenham in not too long."

<China is the Colonist>
CY Leung has clearly damaged the apparently vulnerable "One country, Two systems", and hence the reality of Hong Kong has been laid bare — China is the monarch and the colonist, Hong Kong is the slave and the colony. Therefore the people of Hong Kong together with the Hong Kong Government have to take care of the feelings of the Chinese whenever any policies are to be implemented.
Hong Kong was not this concession-making and submissive even when the British Empire openly colonised Hong Kong in black and white. But this is not hard to understand, because in Britain, there is no scarcity of goods and no food that can poison people to death; it has a sound system and a reliable government, so it is not like the Chinese government not restricting hundreds of thousands of Chinese to disgracefully snatch the food in Hong Kong, and let the whole world look at how misbehaved the Chinese are when they snatch, transport (note: the food) and say dirty words (note: when others get into their way). The British government never claimed that "Hong Kong and Britain are family", "Blood is thicker than water" or "Hong Kong would still be a little fishing port if Britain had not looked after it", because the British do not need to use excuses to befriend with the people of Hong Kong in order to gain advantages; Britain can help itself through formal channels when times are bad. The British will surely be up in arms if toxic food circulates in the market, members of the Parliament and the Prime Minister will inevitably have a miserable career, which stands in stark contrast to the mediocre officials in the CCP and Hong Kong government who are living a luxurious life, being fed without the need to work, and able to watch the stock market at their leisure during office hours.
Chinese today are asking Hong Kong for a favour, but due to the fact that the status of China is rising, the face of Chinese people cannot be dumped casually like their own excrement. They sweep away everything in Hong Kong using an excuse that we all are in the same country so you should not resist and push them out. More precisely, they are not only spreading this excuse, they also truly believe in this.
This argument, however, is untenable, this could not be realised even in China. After the reform and opening-up in China in the 80's, tens of thousands of migrant workers rushed to more well-developed cities, snatching employment from the city-dwellers, the cities also tried to stop them from competing with the locals. To take care of the business of one's city first, then deal with the business of other regions; from close relations to mere acquaintances, it is always this way no matter whether it is family affair or national affair. Therefore, it is reasonable even if such jingoism appears within the same country, because the fault lies with CCP instead of the locals and towns, locals have the rights to live the life they deserve. Similarly, even if Hong Kong is inside of China's political framework (and one-country, two systems dictates otherwise), it is not a must to act on the premise that we have to take care of the feelings of Chinese. Urban is vastly different from rural, there is also a huge cultural difference between Hong Kong and China, and so locals and local affairs should inevitably be the priority. "Patriotism" and "integration" are the terms used to dignify predatory behaviour. When it comes to the moment that one has to protect one's own benefit, national interests and patriotic love for the country and CCP have always been worthless.

Well, here it is. The place where I will keep my family and friends posted about my Adventures in College (which reminds me of Adventures of Isabel, which was my name in french class....anyway....) I'll miss them all terribly.... I'm especially going to miss seeing my nieces and nephews grow up (they change a lot in 3 months!).
I honestly can't believe that I'm finally going to college. I mean, I've wanted to go to Franciscan University for so long, it seems funny to actually be going there in 6 short days. But, at the same time, I can't wait to get there, already!! It's so far away!
Thankfully, I have enough to do to keep me busy in those 6 days, namely, packing. And getting all those little last-minute items that are oh-so-necessary (toothpaste!).
I hope you all enjoy my stories about college.... keep me posted about life 'back home', too!

Holiday homes: 1870s and 2012
Amess House is typical of the resort homes built in the Western Port Bay region in the 1870s, and contrasts greatly with those built at the present time.
Samuel and Janet Amess lived in Melbourne and holidayed on Churchill Island for 60 years. Amess came from Scotland and made his fortune in the gold fields of Victoria. He went on to be a notable builder, stonemason, bridge builder and the Mayor of Melbourne.
Samuel Amess purchased Churchill Island as a place where "he could loosen his tie and enjoy the tranquillity with his family". The home he built (which stands today and is shown in the photographs) is of Italianate style and was fashionable at that time. Cast iron lacework decorates the outside, while inside there's a dining room, morning room, master bedroom, drawing room, kitchen with colonial oven, scullery, nursery, children's bedroom, store room, cellar (a cool place where there was a Coolgardie safe, butter churn and cheese press) -- and a barn.
In the year 2012, travel between Melbourne and Churchill Island takes about two hours, by road, with most of the journey being on a freeway. Two bridges solve the problem of Western Port Bay.
In the 1870s the journey was not so easy. A Cobb & Co. coach carried the Amess family from Melbourne to Mornington, where they boarded a boat to Hastings, and then crossed Western Port Bay to Churchill Island. There were no bridges or freeways in those days.
In the 1870s, a manager ran the property and servants looked after the family while they were living on the island. The servants lived in cottages separate to the main home.
When Amess House was being restored, original wallpaper fragments were discovered and reproduced to help restore the house to its original state. The restoration process was carried out by experts and a dedicated team of volunteers, so the result is pleasing and a true representation of this past era.
Tomorrow I'll show you the charming garden that surrounds Amess House.

From the Rohrig Tarot, the Queen of Wands; from the Master Tarot, "The Pearl:"
The parable of the pearl tells of a merchant who finds a pearl of great worth and sells all his merchandise to purchase it. The lesson behind it is to stop being distracted by what's bright and shiny and look for what has enduring, true value. I can see two possible messages behind these cards. The first is that sensual and magnetic appeal can only last for so long. Looks fade, and eventually words will be questioned. Sincere kindness however, will stand the test of time. The second meaning could be that I need to investigate what has caught my eye and check it's true worth.

Maybe not is the eyes of Q10 creme commercials but in my opinion I look better now than 10/15 years ago. Never underestimate the moisturizing effect of life experience and wisdom gained from that

Back in 1994, I went up the Twin Towers with my wife and took in the amazing sights, albeit a bit hazy. They were very impressive. In the previous year a bomb had gone off in the basement but it didn't have the intended effect. As we know another attempt in 2001 did. All that remains of the buildings are the photographs people took. Here are mine.

Demagogue is a word which saw increased use during the recent presidential campaign (although it wasn't used nearly enough in my opinion). It's one of those political words that you can count on to be thrown around in just about any campaign, as reliably as the use of 'liberal' as an insult or 'job creator' as something other than fictitious résumé padding. But you'll almost never hear anyone explain what they mean when they use the word demagogue. You're expected to know it. Which is fine for people who have a good vocabulary or a strong political background, but I'd bet that many people, especially younger ones, don't have a clear understanding of the word and they have to figure it out from the context (or look it up, which no one wants to do in the middle of a news report).
What does demagogue mean? Where does it come from, where's it been, and where's it going? Let's take a look.
Demagogue has a very long history. The word comes down to us nearly unaltered from the classical Greek dēmagōgos, usually translated as "leader of the people" (from dēmos, "people," and agōgos or agein, "to lead"). In its original sense — in Greek — the term was intended to give a label to someone who spoke for the people, usually with their support and acceptance. This early use viewed a demagogue as a voice of the people, the person who stood up for the collective and expressed their opinions. The word, at that time, did not have any particular ideological baggage: there was nothing negative about being a demagogue, it was simply a role certain people filled on behalf of their group.
But the concept has evolved over time. According to some sources, being a demagogue acquired negative connotations almost immediately. Even in 5th century B.C.E. Athens, demagogue could be a term of disparagement (so says the Online Etymology Dictionary, which is sometimes shaky with sourcing, but my limited research for this blog post found concurring opinions, including in this book by Michael Signer).
The word most likely existed only in Greek and possibly Latin texts for many centuries, although the concept it encompassed was no doubt well known to political leaders of every age.
Sometime around the 14th century, the word "demagoge" appeared in contemporary French. The OED documents the first use in English in 1649, and while OED points to the word's Greek origins, it leaves the door open to the possibility that the word migrated into English from that French use.
By the time of that first English citation — the mid 17th century — the meaning of the word was already in transition. Many of the earliest OED citations show the word used in the neutral sense ("a popular leader") but just as many, in the same time period, had already picked up a negative implication. In fact, the first neutral citation is noted two years after (1651) the first negative citation (1649). The OED also draws a clear distinction here and offers two definitions: when the word is neutral, it is from or referencing "ancient times"; in contemporary use, it carries a "bad sense: A leader of a popular faction, or of the mob; a political agitator who appeals to the passions and prejudices of the mob in order to obtain power or further his own interests; an unprincipled or factious popular orator."
A demagogue, then is not someone who serves as a true voice of the people. He (or she) is someone who manipulates the people for his own ends. These "people," in many instances, are not a rational and well-informed body but are, as the definitions repeatedly point out, better described as a prejudiced mob. This is one of those occasional cases where the meaning of a word has almost completely reversed: a demagogue went from being one who spoke for the people to being one who manipulated the people to his own ends.
This is essentially where the word stands today and has remained for the past couple of centuries. Outside of historical descriptions, I suspect you'll be hard pressed to find the word used with a neutral or positive intent.
The other major dictionaries agree with OED. Merriam-Webster notes it being used in both neutral and negative senses in the 17th and 18th centuries. American Heritage concurs and also provides an interesting aside about the use of the word as a verb. When last surveyed (1997) their usage panel firmly rejected using it as a verb. Garner said the same thing more recently (2009, p. 235). Their ruling was that as an intransitive verb ("he demagogued on the issue of taxes") it was acceptable to most, but as a transitive verb ("he demagogued the issue") it was still rejected overwhelmingly.
It's purely speculative on my part, but I want to point out a connection I've made about the way people today view demagogues. It seems to me that the pronunciation lends itself to a mental parallel with demons and the demonic. Demons are creatures that have strong negative associations to most people, and whether or not a person knows the current or original meaning of this word I suspect it subconsciously conjures negative perceptions. I'm far from the first to make this connection: "Demons and Demagogues" was the title of a political science text in 1985, and I doubt the wordplay was original.
Keeping in the vein of political science, Patricia Roberts-Miller, at the University of Texas at Austin, has done a tremendous amount of work analyzing what demagoguery (a 19th century expansion of the word and concept) really is and what it means for all of us. You could spend hours, if not days, reading all of her thoughts on the subject, but a clear and simple place to start is this recent blog post (it's the one from September 6th, 2016, if the link doesn't work correctly). I find it extremely interesting how she unfolds modern demagoguery to show that it is, in essence, not an integral part of an inclusive and fair democracy but a dangerous threat to it. Her example of the bunnies and squirrels in that particular post puts it in terms that anyone should be able to understand almost instantly.
I hope that clears things up for you: demons, bad; demagogues, worse. If not, I at least hope the links this post includes will give you the tools you need to figure this one out yourself. The best defense against demagoguery, after all, is the ability to discover knowledge on your own and question what you've been fed. In that sense, the ability to dig deeper into this as an individual is an important skill that will serve you well in many situations.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said today that ISIS has committed genocide.
"ISIS is clearly responsible for genocide against Yazidis, Christians and Shia Muslims," Tillerson told reporters gathered in the State Department's Treaty Room, adding that his statement should "remove any ambiguity from previous statements or reports by the State Department."
Just last month, after rumors that the term had been removed from official documents, a group of six senators sent a letter to Tillerson seeking clarification on the department's position on genocide perpetrated by ISIS. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert later clarified that the word "has not been removed" and said Tillerson "firmly believes" ISIS' actions constitute genocide.
Previous administrations have been cautious about labeling conflicts genocide, especially since the United Nations' Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide directs signatories — the U.S. is one — to "undertake to prevent and to punish" genocide.
The Obama administration first designated ISIS genocidal in March 2016, when then–Secretary of State John Kerry declared that the terrorist group "is responsible for genocide … Its entire worldview is based on eliminating those who do not subscribe to its perverse ideology."
The term hadn't been used by the U.S. since 2004, when then–Secretary of State Colin Powell asserted genocide was committed in Darfur in western Sudan.
Protecting groups persecuted by ISIS and other violent extremists "is a human rights priority for the Trump administration," Tillerson said today.
Asked in a follow-up call how that priority squares with the president's decision to bar certain refugees from coming to the U.S., Mike Kozak of the State Department's bureau of democracy, human rights and labor said, "Unfortunately, there are way, way, way more refugees than any one country can possibly take in … There have always been different protocols for vetting refugees, for security and other reasons."
The "preferred option" for dealing with persecuted groups in areas liberated from ISIS is to "allow people to return to their traditional villages," he added.
The United States has a "pretty good record" of combating genocide perpetrated by ISIS, "defeating the perpetrators of the genocide pretty soundly in Iraq and elsewhere," Kozak said.

Perhaps if the rain would go away and it weren't so muggy and my baby girl wasn't trying to cut her second tooth…perhaps then it wouldn't feel so heavy. Its just one of those days where I feel stressed in my bones and I know that if the sky wasn't grey, my house wouldn't look so dirty.

ROBERT MUELLER ASSOCIATES AND WILLIAM DOBKINv.ZONING HEARING BOARD OF BUFFALO TOWNSHIP AND BUFFALO TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMMISSION. BUFFALO TOWNSHIP BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND BUFFALO TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMMISSION, APPELLANTS
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Butler County in case of Robert Mueller Associates and William Dobkin v. Zoning Hearing Board of Buffalo Township and Buffalo Township Planning Commission, A.D. No. 60 December Term, 1972.
Lee A. Montgomery, with him Galbreath, Braham, Gregg, Kirkpatrick, Jaffe & Montgomery, for appellants.

Judges Crumlish, Jr., Wilkinson, Jr. and Blatt, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Wilkinson, Jr.
Author: Wilkinson
[ 30 Pa. Commw. Page 387]
This case involves an appeal by the Buffalo Township Board of Supervisors from an order of the Court
[ 30 Pa. Commw. Page 388]
of Common Pleas of Butler County refusing to place certain conditions on the tentative approval of appellee's planned residential development (PRD). We affirm.
In June, 1972, appellee-developer applied to the Buffalo Township Zoning Hearing Board and the Buffalo Township Planning Commission for tentative approval of a PRD to contain 470 units. On August 7, 1972 a public hearing was held. Tentative approval was denied and the developer appealed to the Court of Common Pleas of Butler County. The Zoning Hearing Board was dismissed as a party and the Board of Supervisors added. Hearings were held before the court on May 4 and June 20, 1973 and extensive testimony was taken. The court ruled that under Section 709 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act of July 31, 1968, P.L. 805, as amended, 53 P.S. § 10709, tentative approval must be granted or denied by the governing authority, i.e., the Board of Supervisors and, therefore, remanded.
Upon remand, the Board of Supervisors granted tentative approval subject to 23 conditions. The developer refused to accept some of the conditions and again appealed to the court of common pleas. The court, considering the appeal de novo on the basis of its prior hearings, granted tentative approval to the PRD subject to 17 conditions. The developer accepted these conditions but the Board of Supervisors has appealed.
It is uncontested that the construction of appellee's PRD will necessitate the accelerated improvement of Harbison Road as well as the accelerated construction of water lines and sewage facilities. Among the conditions placed on tentative approval by the Board of Supervisors was that all off-site costs of the above improvements be paid for by the developer. On appeal, the court below required the developer to pay
[ 30 Pa. Commw. Page 389]
for the construction costs of widening Harbison Road and for the off-site costs of installing water lines and a sewage disposal system. These conditions are not appealed by the developer. The court imposed on the Township the cost of acquiring off-site rights-of-way, holding that charging these costs on the developer would be "invalid, arbitrary and unreasonable." The Board of Supervisors appeals from the imposition of these costs on the Township. Here, where the lower court has considered the application for tentative approval of a PRD de novo, our scope of review is to determine whether the lower court committed an abuse of discretion or error of law when it refused to ...
