Yes, it was me!  Are they on a timer?  The time of day, I passed by,
they should have been on or about to come on.  It was dusk and it may
be, that they hadn't been re-timed, due to the change back to Standard
Time!  My bad!  It just LOOKED, so gray and dank!  I saw where the
plants should have been and felt despair!  A lovely little square that
should be a bright spot, that reminded me of the poem, two roads
converged and I took the one, less traveled, of things remembered,
happy and sad, all at the same time.  I'm old and get things all mixed up!

When I was the President/Chapeau of the 8  40, for Monmouth County,
2004-06, I had all of my formal luncheons and dinners, over at the
Berkley, (before this last renovation), being a resident and
displaying what is good about this City.  The upcoming
President/Chapeau, is a resident of Neptune and I'm looking into Old
Man Rafferty's, to have her incoming Dinner, there, in the Spring.  It
gives us a chance to get dressed up and out of the sweats/jeans/old
people clothes and have some REAL fun!  We put on our painted faces,
new hair cuts/dos and act like we're civilized!  I enjoy showing off,
how great Asbury Park, really is and how wonderful it is to live here,
(most of the time)!  Aside from the gritty, misery, we have to put up
with, because we're in transition, this really is a great place to
live in.  We do good work for Monmouth County and the hospitals, here,
JSUMC and Monmouth Medical Center.  I show the girls, where they can
buy GOOD stuff, the nice places to grab a bite and to come see for
themselves, a City in the re-making.  Just wish they had left
something to remember!  Sigh!

[AsburyPark] Toll Blames the Media

2007-11-09 Thread dfsavgny
All kidding aside, much of the market is psychological.

November 9, 2007
Blame for Poor Home Sales? It's the Press, a Builder Says
By FLOYD NORRIS

The housing market is horrible in most parts of the country, says the
chief executive of the luxury home builder Toll Brothers, and he fears
it will not get better until the newspapers stop saying how bad it is.

Toll Brothers, which has operations in 22 states, said yesterday that
it expected to take a write-down of $250 million to $450 million
because of declining land values when it reports results for the
quarter that ended Oct. 31. The company said sales for the quarter
fell 36 percent, to $1.17 billion, and that customers backed out of 39
percent of their orders, the highest rate ever.

Robert I. Toll, the chief executive, handed out grades for 37 markets
that the company operates in, and most got a mark of F or worse.

The fact that I differentiate between F, F-minus and F-minus-minus
shows just how bad things are, he told analysts during a conference
call. He said those grades go from miserable to outright purgatory.

The lowest grade went to Las Vegas and Tampa, Fla.

Perhaps as the presidential campaign heats up and moves to the front
page, negative articles about housing will move off the front page,
he said. Then, hopefully, the positive underpinnings of low interest
rates, low unemployment and a decent economy will raise new-home-buyer
confidence.

The company said many of the canceled home purchases were for its more
expensive homes. The average price of new orders in the quarter was
$646,000, but the average price of canceled orders was $788,000.

He said a survey of Toll customers who canceled contracts showed that
only 11 percent reported trouble getting mortgages. More either had
personal financial problems or were unable to sell the homes they
already owned. People who just wanted to walk accounted for 17
percent of the cancellations, he said.

Translation, they've read one too many Times articles, and decided
now is not the time to buy a home, he said.

Nearly all the decent grades went to markets in and around New York
City, while some of the worst grades were given to once-hot
second-home markets.

The best grade, B-plus, went to Toll's city living apartment
projects in the New Jersey suburbs of New York, while similar projects
in the city received a B, as did Princeton, N.J., and the states of
Delaware and Connecticut. The suburban New York counties of Dutchess
and Putnam, which he views as one market, earned a C-plus.

The F-minus grade went to the vacation communities of Hilton Head,
S.C.; Palm Springs, Calif.; the Maryland shore; and the Poconos area
of Pennsylvania, as well as to Michigan and Atlanta.

The F grade was the one most often given, going to Arizona,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Minnesota and Southern California outside
of Palm Springs. The cities of Chicago; San Antonio; Charlotte, N.C.;
and Reno, Nev., got the same mark, as did the eastern and northern
parts of Florida. Mr. Toll noted that Minnesota had improved to get
its grade up to an F.

Another area that has improved, he said, was the western part of
Florida, which moved up to a C, although he said that might reflect
Toll's aggressive price cuts. He also awarded C's to the Texas cities
of Austin and Dallas. Colorado got a C-minus.

Raleigh, N.C., fell to D-plus, while D's were given to most of New
Jersey and to Northern California, as well as to Washington and its
Maryland suburbs, and the Philadelphia suburbs. D-minus was the grade
for West Virginia and central Florida, including Orlando.

Mr. Toll said the downturn was worse than the one in the early 1990s,
adding the growth in the rate of cancellations, the decline in new
contracts, and the weaknesses we observed in October suggest that we
still have tough times ahead.

[AsburyPark] Fort Monmouth $27M funding increase for '08 ?

2007-11-09 Thread MarioAPNJ
The point I want to emphasize is that this is new money for Fort  Monmouth, 
said Rep. Rush Holt, who requested the funding. As everyone is  worried 
about Fort Monmouth shriveling up and blowing away, I want people to  
understand 
that Fort Monmouth is not only doing important work, but the work  deserves to 
grow.

[AsburyPark] Just a Larger version of AP

2007-11-09 Thread dfsavgny
Sorry to keep posting this Coney Island stuff, but there are so many
parallels to AP.

November 10, 2007 / Perspective / Editorial
Bloomy to the rescue?
The Brooklyn Paper
Mayor Bloomberg put the city squarely in the center of the
debate over the future of Coney Island on Thursday, seizing the
heart of Joe Sitt's vision of a glamourous, glitzy and expensive
sea-front development while pushing the
Brooklyn-based developer aside.
At first glance, the city's vision doesn't appear all that different
from that of Sitt, who invested
hundreds of millions of dollars over the last few years assembling
prime Coney Island real-estate from
outside the gate of the famous Cyclone roller coaster all the way to
West 15th Street.
Some Coney Island stalwarts, including most of the area's civic and
elected leaders, were lining up
against Sitt, who would have required city zoning changes to proceed
with his hotel, entertainment,
theme park and retail complex. They were fearful that Sitt would turn
their people's playground into
a playground for the rich and famous.
Sitt will be well paid for his work, as the city would now buy his
land with hundreds of millions of
dollars of taxpayer money — or with city-owned land further down Surf
Avenue.
So the question remains: why would the city spend all that money to
end up with something that it
could have gotten from Sitt with a simple zoning change?
One glimpse into city's rationale may come from Bloomberg's
take-no-prisoners Deputy Mayor Dan
Doctoroff.
To Doctoroff, Sitt was simply not up to the job of building his
$1.5-billion Xanadu.
It's a very different business building a shopping center than
building an amusement area, Doctoroff
said.
Where this leaves the Coney freak show and the ricky rides of
Astroland is anyone's guess. But clearly,
a Disneyeque vision is in play.
We've talked to some leading amusement developers around the world,
there's definitely some
interest, Doctoroff said.
In fact, the city has already been negotiating with the Danish
Disney, Tivoli.
Those who opposed Sitt's vision from the outset pleaded with the city
to get rid of him — and
apparently they got their wish.
It just goes to show that the old adage holds true:
Be careful what you wish for, 'cause you just might get it.

from  Online NewsHour: Analysis | Economy Continues Downward Trend |
November 8, 2007 | PBS
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/july-dec07/money_11-08.html

This is a market dominated by traders, professional traders, people who
buy and sell every minute. They're hyperactive. They go home, and
they've closed out their accounts, and they've bought and sold billions
of dollars a day and stuff. It is not a market for individual long-term
investors.

And the thing about a trading market is that there is no reality other
than the reality of the market itself. The trader doesn't really care
what's going on in the real economy. All the trader cares about is what
the other traders are going to think next.

And so if you think the other traders think that the price of something
is going to go up, then you buy it now and then sell it to them in a few
minutes, or the reverse and the other.

So the reality of this market is a trading market, and it's not one for
individual investors to try to play in, because you're likely to get
hurt. It's best to stay to the side. If you've made some money, you
might want to take some of that money off the table, but you don't have
to take it off, but don't start to try to game the market, because you
will fail.

[AsburyPark] Re: Buy the Coaster read: Main Street as...DL BBQ

2007-11-09 Thread lindagriggsartist
I agree Main St. is ugly and it's way too ugly for a point of entry 

But I envy the people that will be near a market or dress shop. 
Fasano mentions DL BBQ as a positive move.  

I wish I could see it that way.  That BBQ place opened it's vent on
the roof above my backyard.  The noise of the vent is like a jet but
that doesn't bother me like the smell.  We can't open our windows when
the smoker is cranked up otherwise our sheets and pillows and curtains
will smell like BBQ.  

We had just finished renovating our house and this is really going to
affect our property values.  

I've got nothing against the owners and cooks.  The restaurant
business is tough. Good Luck to them but I hope they get to move to
Cookman.  Anyway they rented the place from Monmouth properties.  When
we bought our house it was the Mercy Center.  Before that it was a
bakery.  

I talked to the inspectors about it, of course, and they agreed it's a
bad situation but in AP if something stinks and it's grandfathered in
there's no fixing it unlike situations in NYC (23rd st. Crispy Creme
was cited and had to vent it's donut grease smell up 8 stories above
it's neighbors windows).

grandfathering should not hold sway when we are talking about
something like that. They just opened for god sakes. The laws for the
venting if they allow it like that are stupid. Complain, complain,
complain. But then again, every night standing on the times sq

again, rationale for a buffer between residences and certain uses.
there is a way to be business friendly and respect everyone's use of
their property. it is called planning and zoning. call don sammett.

The market is the same way - the best mathematicians/programmers win.

From an old article:.

They pointed out that if countless traders are competing to buy and 
sell stocks at what they think, based on rational considerations, are 
their proper values, then the market will always instantaneously 
adjust the price of each stock to what it's worth. Moreover, any 
information relevant to the real value of the stock--news, or insider 
information, or anything else--will also be instantaneously absorbed 
into the price. When the market moves in response to any news, so the 
theory goes, it will move so quickly that no one will be able to make 
money reliably.

To Lo, the EMH has a Zen-like, beauty. What it says is that the 
more people who try to forecast markets, the less forecastable 
markets tend to be, he explains. If there is any kind of fore-
castability in prices, somebody is going to take advantage of it, so 
if there are enough people competing with each other to try to take 
advantage of small forecastabilities, then all of those 
forecastabilities will be dissipated.

[AsburyPark] From Con to Collar

2007-11-09 Thread dfsavgny
I know there must be some moral to the fact the so many cons become
clergy when they get out of the joint.

Convicted former public official hopes to start ministry
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 11/9/07

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Story Chat Post Comment

TRENTON — A former Essex County executive has seen the light of God
from inside the walls of prison.

James Treffinger tells The Star-Ledger of Newark 10 months in prison
led him to a spiritual rebirth.

The 57-year-old is enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary with
plans to start a ministry for prison inmates.

Treffinger was a rising star in Republican politics and the favorite
to win his party's nomination for a U.S. Senate seat when federal
authorities raided his office in 2002.

The one-time popular Verona mayor later admitted putting two campaign
staffers on the county payroll and obstructing the federal probe.

Treffinger isn't the only fallen politician to enter the seminary.

Former Governor Jim McGreevey, who resigned in 2004 after declaring he
was a gay American,'' entered the General Theological Seminary in
Manhattan this fall with plans to become an Episcopal minister.

[AsburyPark] Understand ?

2007-11-09 Thread Mario

In Charles Barkley's book Who's Afraid of a Large Black
Man, Barack Obama recalls a few college professors asking him,
Man, why are you pretending that you're not smart? Obama
continues, And coming from black professors, especially, that was
important, because I couldn't throw back at them, `Oh, you
don't understand.'

Looking back at his own educational experience, Obama concludes,
That's a big part of the reason it is so important to have
black teachers, especially black male teachers. I'm not saying
exclusively, but in many situations you need someone who can call you on
your stuff and say… that it's not `acting white' to read
a book.

I asked the teachers and the students at our all-black school if they
believed there were fundamental differences between white teachers and
black teachers.

[AsburyPark] FT's Transition

2007-11-09 Thread MarioAPNJ
What used to be the Foodtown on Sunset Avenue in Wanamassa will be  
re-opening on Saturday as a Spirits Unlimited discount liquor store.  I  
wandered in 
with some of the liquor stockers yesterday.  It's huge.  
 
I noticed that they have a food section, as a convenience; however,  lots 
more food there than one would expect-- I guess because the space is so  large 
and because Azzolino is still involved there.  So those who regret  the loss of 
Wanamassa's FT still have a nearby place.
 
One caveat: You have to walk past all the liquor aisles to get to the  food.  
Like you have to walk to the farthest corner of most supermarkets to  get to 
the basics, milk, bread, etc.  Not a good place to make a quick stop  for your 
Daily Bread if you're on your way to an AA meeting.   
 
Although I'm not a fan of Joe Azzolino, I will give him credit for the  
transition: I'm told that none of the employees lost a job in the process.   My 
favorites moved to Middlebrook, and accommodations  were made for those  with 
transportation problems.
 
Looking forward to the NW AP market promised by Fasano.

 Open/fix the movie theatre in the downtown and i think you'd be set for 
awhile.  That would be something major that people would flock to.  Walk around 
and find places either before or after.  One day i suspect someone will come

I wonder if Asbury Partners will ever use the Paramount for regular

I agree with you that a downtown movie theater would be great.  Just  
look at how much traffic the Bradley Beach theater gets each week.
