Well I learned a lot having the Flu this week. For one,my job is a machine that can't be stopped. For two, theraflu rocks!!!! In other news, I came across a guy who bought his IT company. Sounds strange right? Usually you start off fixing your neighbors old Compaq and the word spreads about your skills. Later you grow a "professional" list of contracts only to grow tired of it and sell your company?!?! That's what happened here and I believe it was a mix of pure genius and timing! Besides making money online, what's the hardest part of starting a business? Getting business to business contracts. So Oxford Computers was sold to a younger(I assume),hungrier tech. His office was kinda small,with space for a receptionist/assistant and a work room full of MAC and WINDOWS computers all in line to be fixed. Business looked good, B to B looked better... I'm jealous.

Way before music downloads and Myspace, there was a cool group of people from teenagers to old men. What am I talking about? Amateur radio. That's what started our need to "social network" From truckers to guys in their room with parts from radioshack. They had "usernames" or rather call names and to this day I come across people with ham radios in the study.
This week after fixing a customer's computer,I was directed to his original setup. A computer with HAM/CB radios and (wait for it...)Windows 3.1. That's right,windows 3.1 people. He fired it up and it actually worked! He showed me all of the people he came across via the radio and how he logged it all in on the old computer. I've been told stories of how certain people would wash towns in radio waves just to show who was boss. Can't do that on Facebook. These are the fathers who taught their kids about transistors and tubes, the same things that started the personal computers. It was really cool seeing that link in technology up close. Hopefully we won't forget our humble beginnings...

In my line of work,I meet a wide range of people. Some tell me their profession and others don't when I try to keep the small talk going as I fix their computer. Tonite I hit the jackpot because he was a high school referee. They must have a club or something because when he spoke he seemed to represent the professional refs too. We discussed the Eagles and how Horse collar tackles are only illegal in the NFL. He also touched on how focused they have to be because if they turned to hear the athlete's plead their case,vital plays could be missed. That's why you see on TV the players talking to the refs but never getting eye contact. Funny enough he said he doesn't even pay attention to the coaches unless they call "time out" or call him names other than "SIR", LOL. Now that's being focused. Another good point came up when I asked him why does the refereeing seem different when playoffs roll around? He answered by mentioning how at that phase,only the good teams remain and usually they reached that level because they don't commit too many penalties to begin with. Good Point...

Over 700 Tons of Toxicants Released Yearly Through Air/Water by Delaware County Industries
Are We Willing to Continue to Take Risks with Our Health?

This film asks whether it's fair that so many industries of a type that no one wants to live next to should be located in one city. Are these industries why Chester residents have higher than normal rates of respiratory illness and cancer? A question we raise now is what are the health risks to all Delaware County residents constantly exposed to chemicals such as benzene, naphthalene, lead, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, ethylene, propylene, methanol and many others?

Dear Moms and Dads,
Halloween is coming, and normally it’s hard for your dentist to get excited about that day because of all the candy your kids will eat. However, this year will be different. Don’t you just wish that on the day after Halloween that your kids’ sacks full of candy would just disappear? Well we can help, and this is something we are very excited about! This year we’ll buy the candy back from your kids. We’re not kidding! Sure, they can have a few treats on Halloween night and maybe even keep a couple more for later in the week. But we’ll take the rest of it and pay them for it! The candy will be shipped overseas to our courageous troops (who could sure use a treat or two!) serving our country in the Middle East. In return, we’ll give your kids $1 per pound of donated candy and a Firefly flashing toothbrush.
Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2% annually and currently sits at 50 million tons per year, which means parents need to be very watchful now more than ever before. Too much candy can lead to hyperactivity and weight gain, as well as cavities or worse. In some cases, the wrong types of candy can also lead to broken teeth and damaged braces.
Kids should still dress up, go out, have fun, and yes, even eat some candy. But after picking out the best of their stash, they will probably have about 10 pounds left, and nobody needs that much candy!
Bring your kids and your candy in on November 1 between 3:30 and 5:00 p.m., and spread the word!
Candy will be collected at Advanced Dental Concepts the day after Halloween only from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. The candy must be unopened. Please no bites. It will then be shipped to troops overseas.
Dr. Sander White emphasizes general family dental care as well as cosmetic procedures. Dr. White is available to provide more information at 610 353-6161, or visit Advanced Dental Concepts on-line at www.drwhitesmile.com

Yep, only got this today, from the media who only got it today....

HARRISBURG OCT. 5 – State Sens. Andy Dinniman and Connie Williams will host a hearing of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee on the topic of amending the state’s Right to Know Law, often referred to as open records reform.

The Committee will hear public testimony from concerned groups on the negative/positive aspects of the current law and what, if any, changes the General Assembly should make to the law. The hearing is being held in advance of a potential Senate vote on a comprehensive amendment to the Right to Know Law this fall.

The hearing will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12th at the Haverford Township Free Library, 1601 Darby Rd., Havertown

“We need a Right-to-Know Law in Pennsylvania that fully recognizes it’s the people’s government we’re talking about here. We need a Right-to-Know Law that acknowledges that the public has a right to know what it’s government is doing, how its spending their money, and that the public shouldn’t have to fight to get that information,” Senator Andy Dinniman said. “I look forward to Friday’s hearing and seeing what our various testifiers have to say about what specifically they want to see in Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law.”

“Pennsylvania’s citizens have every right to know what their government is doing and spending on their behalf,” Senator Williams said. “I look forward to hearing how the various organizations feel the PA Right-to-Know Law can better serve our constituents.”

Among those expected to testify at the hearing are Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause; Lora Lavin, second vice president (Issues and Actions) League of Women Voters; Deborah Musselman, director of Government Affairs, Pennsylvania Newspaper Association; representatives of local or county government; and a media official.

Media coverage of the hearing is asked

Well of course media attention is sought....LOL...it's a Sunshine Law Hearing

MEDIA, PA- On Tuesday, David Landau, Candidate for Delaware County Council, advanced his investigation of the patronage jobs, no- bid contracts, conflicts of interest, and nepotism within county government.

Landau’s investigation targeted the Solicitor’s Office as well as the three departments charged with voter protection and information: The Election Bureau, Voter Registration, and the Voting Machines Department.

Landau revealed several startling facts including:

Voter Registration, Election Bureau, and Voting Machines
▪ Of 31 staffers listed, all are registered Republican

▪ 7 of 31 employees are Political contributors since 2001,
including the Director of the Election Bureau

▪ 1 GOP Committeeperson and several related to Committeepeople.

“The conflict arises when employees are actively participating in partisan politics as these folks have”, Landau stated from the front of the Courthouse.

Solicitor’s Office
▪ The Solicitor’s office has made over $91,000 in Political Contributions since 2001 ranging from $900 to $38,088. Every Assistant Solicitor has given at least $900.

Of the 15 staffers in the department all are registered Republican.

Landau also criticized the conflict-of-interest of the county’s head solicitor.

“When people ask what I mean by ‘Bush-Style’ Government, this is it in a nut-shell. You have the county’s chief civil litigator and his hands are tied by partisan politics and conflicts-of-interest. It’s the same type of situation we saw with Alberto Gonzales.”

In addition to his duties as Solicitor, the Solicitor is an Associate at the law firm of Council Chairman Andy Reilly. On the firm’s website McBlain is also listed as:

▪ Redevelopment authority of the County of Delaware, Solicitor
▪ Delaware County Economic Development Oversight Board, Solicitor
▪ Borough of Millbourne, Solicitor
▪ Borough of Sharon Hill, Zoning Solicitor
▪ Brandywine Conference and Visitors Bureau, Solicitor

“But perhaps most troubling, is in addition to these conflicts, the County Solicitor also serves as Treasurer of the Delaware County Finance Committee” said Landau. “When you have that degree of partisan dealings polluting the courthouse, the people are not going to receive adequate representation.”

The “Case Against the Courthouse” is a department-by-department exposé of the waste incurred through patronage jobs, no bid contracts, conflicts of interest, and nepotism. To learn more about David Landau and the “Case Against the Courthouse” please visit www.davidlandau.net.

This year’s festival will take place all day on Saturday, October 6th at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center at 601 N. Lansdowne Avenue in Drexel Hill. ( www.PhillyDanceFest.com )

The lineup of artists is very impressive for a new festival looking to establish itself in an already highly competitive market. The Festival’s mission is to provide veteran and newly-established choreographers and dance companies, in the Greater Philadelphia Region, an opportunity to present their work in a professional venue in order to experiment, develop, and refine their repertories, and to build audiences without the burden of self-producing.

Tickets range between $12.50 to $18.00 with discounts for students and seniors. All seating is general admission and advanced tickets may be purchased on line at www.PhillyDanceFest.com or at the theater box office the day of performance. More information maybe obtained from the web site or by calling 610-394-9182 (Option #2).

A dozen modern dance companies will be featured along with new dance works by contemporary choreographers. Amongst the presenting companies are Miro Dance Theater (Amanda Miller and Tobin Rothlein), which creates original work that explores the collaborative intersections of contemporary dance, video, and visual art. Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers Co, which is the only Philadelphia troupe to appear twice at the prestigious FIDA Festival, Toronto, Canada. Fusing modern dance, theater, music, technology and art, the company charms, provokes and informs audiences of all ages with its insightful and wacky views of the world. Una Sera di Danza will feature new works by three of the areas independent choreographers – Kate Jordan, Melissa Caterina Chisena and Tara Lynne Madsen.

Several graduates of the University of The Arts, who have since established their own dance companies, will also be highlighted. Philadelphia-based dancer and choreographer, Molly Root will bring to the festival Anomoly of the Heart. John Luna and Kinetic Outlaws offer a vignette entitled The Living Room - four people, a television, and a sofa. The inescapable consequence of waiting.

The festival will open with a performance by React/dance (co-directed by Jacelyn Biondo and Kristen Shahverdian), which seeks to diminish the boundaries between audience and performer, giving the audience more control over their experience.

Music & Motion Dance of Drexel Hill is the only youth/teen-based performance dance company in the festival. They will be concluding their 2007 season with the final performance of RED, after a successful run at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe.

Recently established companies on the Philadelphia dance scene, which have gained in notoriety, will be highlighted as well - Danse4Nia Repertory Ensemble, Alchemy Dance Company, and Vada Dance Collective. Look for Vada's ardent mix of technical precision, dazzling physicality and an innovative yet classic style resonates with audiences, and makes each performance a true experience.

A compete line up of dance companies and performance times can be found on line at www.PhillyDanceFest.com as well as below…

At 1:30PM (two companies presenting)

REACT/Dance
Imaginary Ordinary
Imaginary Ordinary is a work set on five dancers. Originally shown as a works-in-progress at the In Flux Performance Series, this piece was chosen for completion and invited for performance in the final In Flux Performance Series in May 2007. Moderator Curt Haworth, describes Imaginary Ordinary as “an old time debutante party gone wild. It was a wonderful mix of worlds that took us on a fun, obsessive and passionate theatrical ride." In this evening length premier, react/dance will delve into the back-story of the unique characters and will uncover the events leading up to climactic finish.

Danse4Nia Repertory Ensemble
Wanting To Make A Social Change
Danse4Nia Repertory Ensemble uses the power of dance and spoken word to explore our communities social ills that plague us today. All the while celebrating the positive solutions that can come from making a social change. This show high lights the famed phrase, "it starts with you, it starts with me!"

At 3:00PM (two companies presenting)

Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers Co
Dances for Everyday Objects
Float, Crash and Fall
Created for six dancers and six huge inflated balls, this dance examines the interplay between an object and a person. Dancers roll, float, crash, collide, caress, squeeze, toss and interact with the props creating powerful images that reflect basic human desires. The balls are a movable set that at times are connected to the dancers’ bodies creating a sense of space where time is suspended, allowing for multiple interpretations i.e. planetary, nature and fantasy worlds. As choreographer, I became fascinated by the colors, shapes, textures and qualities of the object and how they informed the movement vocabulary and transported me to other imaginative places.

John Luna & Kinetic Outlaws
Living Room
Four people, a television, and a sofa. The inescapable consequence of waiting.

At 4:30 pm (three companies presenting)

ROOTEDancEnsemble
Anomoly of the Heart
Anomaly of the Heart is a repeated duet combining care and frustration creating subtle dysfunction. Accompanied by the soft, yet striking music of Arvo Part, three duets take you on a journey of discovery, sorrow, contemplation, and reality. Through repeating ideas and switching character roles Anomaly progresses by revealing three different honest, beautiful looks at relationships that are both sincere, yet innately flawed.

Alchemy Dance Company
Preconceived Motions
As we move through life, we all develop beliefs, ideas, and experiences which we draw upon to form our opinions, make decisions, and handle situations. Often, without realizing it, we jump to conclusions based on these preconceived thoughts and fail to see clearly, fail to remain open, fail to try new things thus closing ourselves off from one another and the world around us. Preconceived Motions brings to light the judgments we make based on appearance, sound, and movement and looks at where these “motions” come from and whether we will let them continue to rule us. Alchemy teams up with b-boys of Philly’s Illadelph Phlave for an exciting combination of ballet, modern, and breakin’ techniques in a performance that promises to captivate, entertain, and inspire.

Vada Dance Collective
Nightgardening
Vada's Nightgardening blends abstracted images, emotions and sensations capturing the connection that exists between us and the night. The fervent pictures we create and cultivate in and out of our dreams and the fine line between, and the discoveries they burgeon into inspire this rich collection of works by choreographers Rebecca Herrmann Moyer and Katie Skettino.

At 6:30 pm

Music & Motion Dance
RED
Your eye is caught by a single color, RED. It is inescapable and compelling as senses are triggered and emotions aroused. When this color becomes the defining point of a relationship, one is caught up in whirlwind of seduction, passion, anger, romance and joy. Ultimately this color journey leads us to an empowering view of who we are and what is truly possible. Music and Motion Dance's new work RED, offers us an intimate look at relationships through the medium of movement, luscious visual imagery, differing human temperaments and undeniable beauty of self-discovery.

At 8:00 pm

Kate Jordan, Melissa Caterina Chisena, Tara Lynne Madsen
Una Sera di Danza
Dance works by Three Independent Choreographers

Kate Jordan
Una Sera di Danza: Premier of an evocative, dynamically charged solo featuring Philadelphia-based dancer Lindsay Delooze.

Melissa Caterina Chisena
Una Sera di Danza: Wonderfully fierce dancing in collaboration with original music fuse together to create a brilliant union between the dancer and the instruments.

Tara Lynne Madsen
Una Sera di Danza: Tara will be presenting two new solo works performed by Josh Knowlton (NYC Based Dancer) and Tara Madsen. Original music created by Peter Jones will accompany both pieces.

At 9:00 pm

Miro Dance Theatre
Lie To Me and shorter stories
Artistic directors Amanda Miller and Tobin Rothlein collaborate with Frankfurt choreographer Antony Rizzi to create a whirling array of narcoleptics, pyromaniacs, and paper dolls that weave video art, ballet and modern dance into a magic-realism performance that explores the lies we tell each other, the lies we tell ourselves, and the lies we love to be told. Inspired by Franz Kafka's writings, motifs from classical ballets, and stories of geographical displacement, this work combines the choreography of Amanda Miller and experimental media of Tobin Rothlein with Antony Rizzi's unique blend of theater, video and dance, shaped in part by his twenty years working in Germany with choreographer William Forsythe.

BOX OFFICE, INFORMATION & TICKETS

MEDIA, PA- On Monday, David Landau, Democratic Candidate for County Council, announced preliminary results of his investigation into corruption at the Delaware County Government. Dubbed "The Case Against the Courthouse," Landau is presenting a detailed exposé of the waste incurred through patronage jobs, no bid contracts, conflicts of interest, and nepotism.

"This case just confirms what voters have suspected for years," Landau stated from the front of the courthouse. "Patronage is alive and well in Delaware County and we intend to put an end to it."

"I truly believe most of the courthouse employees to be good people, but a small portion of the courthouse crowd think they are completely unaccountable to the citizens of Delaware County," said Landau.

Landau pointed specifically to the Executive Director and Personnel Departments. Of the 40 employees working in the Personnel and Executive Director's offices, 38 are registered Republican and 31 are Republican Committeepeople or local GOP donors.

"Last week the Executive Director insinuated it is entirely acceptable for council to have unanimous and unaccountable voting records, now we see why."

Landau also pointed to contracts given to political contributors, including those for independent audits on county expenditures.

"Our supposed independent auditors are some of the largest contributors to the local GOP coffers in the County," said Landau, pointing specifically to one auditing firm which doled out nearly $50,000 to local Republicans.

Landau also took exception to the high percentage of family members working in the courthouse. Eight of the 40 employees in Personnel and the Executive Director's office had family members working elsewhere in the county government. Pointing to other potential conflicts, Landau noted that two executive county employees hold office in their local municipality.

"Despite what the party bosses may think, county government is not their personal family business," criticized Landau. "That is precisely why I am advocating merit based hiring and promotion."

Landau has garnered a wave of attention for his vision to end the culture of corruption in Delaware County and restore faith in local government. For more information on David Landau and "The Case Against the Courthouse" please visit www.davidlandau.net

Delco Courthouse Just Doesn’t Get It

MEDIA, PA- On the heels of David Landau’s proposal for Accountable Government, County Executive Director and GOP Spokeswoman, Marianne Grace, enlightened voters that the workings of the all-Republican County Council may seem “mundane” for those not involved.
“Grace’s insinuation that Council’s agenda is not important enough to raise citizen comment is exactly what’s wrong with this closed-door government,” said Landau campaign manager Jared Solomon.
In attempting to clarify why Council has voted unanimously in every vote since 2003, Grace informed voters “It’s not like council members are debating something that would require the partisan give-and-take found at higher and lower levels of government.” Grace cited the War in Iraq and rubbish disposal contracts as two issues which were substantive enough to warrant debate.
Solomon voiced concern at Grace’s comments stating, “Well at least it's out in the open now, the courthouse considers "mundane" issues that affect the economic, social, and overall welfare of the citizens of Delaware County.”

Good afternoon,

I'm hoping to inform people of a very sad story. The Delco SPCA has taken the dog I adopted from them and will not give him back. Anyone who's read "Marley and Me" knows young labs can be a handful, yet they don't seem to understand at the SPCA. He may get killed by them so that they can make a point!

There were mistakes made on both sides regarding paperwork, etc., which I can outline below, but the point is Murphy is a wonderful dog who is very attached me and had a great life and home. With all the abuses of animals, I cannot understand why the SPCA thinks it makes sense to take a dog from a good environment. It's bad for the dog's separation anxiety and adds risk.

My family and I are devastated. Friends have been writing letters, the vet has been speaking out on our behalf, and the SPCA and Animal Control have been stoic and silent. I'm extremely concerned for the wellbeing of Murphy. Would they put him down just to prove a point? They've given us no way to plead our case.

I was informed by the SPCA, Friday, August 17, 2007, that Murphy would not be returned to me due to violations of the quarantine and contract.

I sent pictures of the sprained ankle and knee injuries I retained the last night trying to hold him on the lead when another dog came by, because he was on quarantine. Murphy's a young lab, 10 months and "a runner". Once out, he takes off. This is not the sign of a negligent owner, just a spirited dog.

I had made an appointment with Old Marple Veterinary for the next day at 9:15 AM to keep up with what I needed to do for the state mandated quarantine. I also had an appointment for pre-blood work for Murphy's neutering at Society Hill Veterinary on Sept. 1, which I had signed a contract for.

The neutering itself was to take place in 30 days per the contract, but Society Hill Veternary was not accustomed to the Delco SPCA regulations, so the immediacy was not impactful. Though, I was trying to keep up with all the rules. Also, the SPCA only called Old Marple and did not see a neutering appointment, so they deemed me negligent with no recourse to plead my case.
The SPCA did not get the dog chipped correctly on the initial visit. They had lost my records of adoption as well. So, there were mistakes on all sides.

We've written letters to both Animal Control and the SPCA. Any help in terms of an article, call or investigation would be wonderful/
Below is one of the many letters written.

Dear Mr. Schlott,

I am writing on behalf of Nicole and Murphy. I understand that Murphy will not be returned to Nicole. This saddens me greatly. Murphy is a great addition to Ms. XXXXX and her family. I have witnessed the interaction between dog and owner and can say with confidence that she is a great owner. Murphy is definitely a spirited, young dog. Nicole has gone to great lengths to keep him contained and safe. He is still a young pup that can be hard to handle at times. She has been working with a trainer, has tried to burn his energy by taking long walks, and has gone to great lengths to meet all obligations set by the contract. Even when Nicole had to take time off of work to meet the conditions set by the SPCA to keep Murphy after running into to recent problems, she didn't hesitate. I myself am an animal lover and know how hard it must be to find a good, loving home for animals. She is a great owner. She loves Murphy and he certainly loves her - both have become attached to each other.

I realize that you have a job to do, and you may see this recent decision as being in the best interest of the dog. But I KNOW that the best interest of the dog is to keep him with Nicole and her family. You couldn't find a better match. I truly hope that you can find a way to give Nicole and Murphy another chance.

Thank you,
kristen

CLIFTON HEIGHTS, PA- Standing in front of a packed house at the Grand Opening of his Campaign Headquarters, Democrat David Landau was lauded by hundreds of supporters and elected officials for his vision to restore faith in local government.

“The days of unaccountable, Bush-style government end today!” Landau exclaimed to a host of cheers from the large crowd of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. “With your help, we can take back the County Courthouse and usher in a new day in Delaware County.”

U.S. Congressman Joe Sestak and State Rep. Greg Vitali were on hand to encourage Landau supporters to continue their hard work.

“This election is not just about having Democrats elected,” said Rep. Sestak, (D- PA 7) “It’s about having an open, transparent debate of issues. David Landau, John Innelli, and Anne O’Keefe have been there from the beginning- giving me advice and support.”

Greg Vitali, (D, Haverford) underlined David’s qualifications.

“His leadership and the professional way he runs his campaign is exactly the kind of guidance we need on county council,” Vitali extolled. “He has the qualifications and the principles we need to turn this county around.”

Landau’s positioning of his office in Clifton Heights highlights a significant change in Delaware County voter trends. Areas of the county which have traditionally leaned Republican in the past have seen a shift toward Democratic reformers like Landau.

“We’re seeing broad support from all walks of life,” said Landau “The citizens of Delaware County want to see an end of the culture of corruption. Democrats and Republicans can both agree- what this county needs is honest, homespun government.”
