[AsburyPark] Good Answer
At last nights Council Meeting I anticipated Bill Gray's description of the 'code enforcement process' to 'dispelled rumors'. He was a no-show, that item was removed from the agenda. At public comment time I asked the following: How many summonses, how much in fines and how much jail time have the owners or managers of the following properties received. -Metropolitan Hotel -Wesley Grove 'stump field' -Abandoned Esperanza -Collapsing 3rd Ave house East of Grand -Boarded up house across from Bradley School -Collapsing house on Memorial across from City Hall -Elks Lodge - aka Charms Building -Cookman Ave building across from Wesley Grove -Boarded up buildings on 4th Ave - Terry Reidy's block -Sewall Ave buildings that were eminent domain'ed .. The Answer was a diatribe from Terry Reidy about having given me a 30 break from Bill Gray a few years ago. That was the non-answer given. Classic Asbury Park Werner Yahoo!

Jack, I agree! So why aren't well-heeled Thieves like Madoff, not being prosecuted? While this country has taken a giant step in electing Obama, an everyman from the generation, I thought, years ago would lead us into seeing the worth of everyone. A young man from your generation, with fresh ideas that seem honest on its' face. Look at the treatment he's (Madoff), getting for defrauding millions from honest, hard-working Americans and using them in the biggest Ponzi scheme perpetrated so far. As far as some party going posters here, I don't think Obama would waste $20 bucks on a drink! Neither would I. Matter of fact, I told a very dear friend, that I would concoct my OWN Cosmos myself, at home! I don't consider myself cheap, by the fact I own bottles of scotch worth over $200.US and wines worth over $50. right here! I find those prices excessive and I guess though it's whatever the market will bear, so for those who think it's a bargain, go for it! I have to smack my own wrist for paying $20 bucks for an absinthe, so touche! On a PS, my Bush clock ran out to 00:00 at 12:01 AM, 1/20/08. Our long nightmare is OVER!

The trick is to manage IF and WHEN they come to your site - what do have to offer when they get there. You have maybe 2-3 seconds to get their attention... It can more complicated if you attempt to place a value on IMPRESSIONS (how many times did the ad appear) BUT no one clicked on it. There is a factor to apply to determine what is the value of the IMPRESSION - did they come directly to the site. So if I spent $100 on adwords in one day, received 500 clicks (cost me .20 to get someone over to my page), but also had 60,000 impressions in one day - I'm down to .002 for someone to see my website name. then go over to the TriCity - 10,000 published. How many times is ad viwed? 10,000, 8,000, 12,000?. If you use 10,000 impressions and their cheap $50 ad (I think) it cost you only .01 cents. AP could advertise AP pretty cheap around the world.

[AsburyPark] Re: Impact of Unsold Condos on AP Appraisals
Hi, Jennifer - Thanks for the information. I imagine it's hard for someone buying a unit in North Beach to get a mortgage since they instituted the process by which they only finish off a unit as it's sold. That's why it's so important for a community to have a detailed performance agreement-- and a bond for security -- so the community can collect from the bond insurer if for some reason construction is halted or the units don't sell. And thanks for that link. It looks like that form is used in appraising a condo within a condo community. What I was wondering was if communities of unsold condos affect the values of the housing throughout the immediate area. It's very helpful though to see what forms appraisors are using. They seem to have a lot of freedom to be subjective. I heard of another report that you might know of, the BPO? Not sure I have the acronym right, but it means a broker's opinion. Heard of that one? I think banks use it for ballpark figures, before they decide whether the loan is going to go through and a full appraisal is justified. Thanks again, Maureen --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jennifer jennifern...@... wrote: I am not an appraiser. I know that banks appraisals determine value using a form called the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR). You can find a copy online through this link https://www.efanniemae.com/sf/formsdocs/forms/pdf/sellingtrans/1004.p df URAR has always asked questions about one unit housing trends and you will see there is a box asking if the house is in a high demand or over supplied area. Condos as a whole can be difficult to mortgage if a large percentage is not owner occupied. Fannie, Freddie and FHA require that 51%+ of the condo units be owner occupied in order to obtain a mortgage. This can be a big problem if people buy into a complex, over time it becomes mostly rentals and cannot be conventionally refinanced. So, yes empty condo units can have an adverse effect on both value and ability to mortgage. Jennifer Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: Save GRock
I've been hearing that for over 20 years now. Radio station groups purchased radio station the way unqualifed homeowners purchased homes. Radio stations still make money, even in these hard times, if you aren't paying off a large note on the station. I will agree that satelite radio may not make it through but terrestrial FM still has many years to go before it is dead. I like free medium not the pay-to-play for every bit of music or information model. As the economy tumbles, free radio and TV will become viable again. On-demand costs money and as discretionary spending goes away so will the demand for on-demand. At least until things get better.

--- My motherworked at RCA in NYC when she was kid as a file clerk. Floors and floors of files. Eventually, you didn't need all those file cabinets or manilla folders. Some guy went around buying up all little cell companies. Same for radio. We don't know the real future of owning these rights to broadcast, do we? It's a bet. I would guess it's pretty easy to package a broadcast to many markets from one studio in NYC, Kansas or in Bangladesh. Mike seems to be the pro at this.

[AsburyPark] Re: Save GRock
For me, the biggest issue is that a whole genre of music has now disappeared, and the new programming is totally aimed at the early teen market. It's definitely all about money, and unfortunately music fans that are more interested in more then sugary pop are going to find new alternatives. Also, this is a blow to local clubs that advertised on GROCK, such as the Saint. I don't know what the answer is, but I tend to think that either a new station, probably one of the local college ones, will rise up in GROCKS absence. And as much as I love Sirius, it's national, with no local content. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Mike Hemeon tvnetdude2...@... wrote: I've been hearing that for over 20 years now.

I've been to shows that Grock promoted that only brought a dozen people to The Saint. It didn't surprise me at all that the station changed formats.

You seem pretty knowledgeable about radio. In your opinion, besides the money aspect, what do you think it would take to create a similar radio station to GROCK. How could one scale down and operate on a smaller budget and still serve the community? It seems like the audience is there.

When I got a copy of the Budget (in completely unaccessible form for the average person) they handed me a pack of paper that would have cost a decent amount to photocopy.

Station 101.5 is NJ101.5, the New Jersey Station. 105.3 is classified as urban/Black radio. The term Black was coined in 1964, when James Brown had a hit called Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud. Saying that one is Black is a self defining word in the Black Community. Even though most of us self define ourselves as African-Americans, the term Black simplifies who we are. Because of slavery, most of us don't know which tribe in Africa we came from. Better yet, study Black History and the bizarre system that separated families or better yet, read up on The Katrina Effect, how Blacks were given one-way tickets out of town, separating children and pets. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakd...@... wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, fancypaaantz fancypaaantz@ wrote: http://www.petitiononline.com/grock/petition.html Interesting you bring up the radio.

I was hoping for some dialogue in response to the mp3s. Kind of dry without it, actually. Thanks again - oh, I've got the poll up there now about dining out.

I don't go to it often enough. You can leave comments there, which would obviously be more to the point of her articles, and I am guessing she monitors them. Also, maybe some help could be sent her way to have more advanced recording equipment, tech help etc in the form of $$ or pro bono help. just a thought. There are two different sites, which I'm a little confused about, a blog and regular site. Is there a difference Maureen? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer hinge98@ wrote: Something Gabrielle said recently made me think of this concept. I think (hope) there are many people in our city who have good ideas that they would like to be heard and discussed on the city level, but I also think that it may be tough to find the time to actually attend council meetings and such. Of course, it would take moderation and time, which costs money, but perhaps the effectiveness of such a forum would justify the cost. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Michael W.

Yesterday during the transition of power, a new website was launched. http://www.whitehouse.gov Part of the website is a section called The Office of Public Liason which I've read will evolve into a public forum. Wouldn't such a thing be a great addition to our cities website? A place similar to this where people can brainstorm, post ideas, think aloud?

[AsburyPark] Re: January 21 Council Meeting mp3s on Asbury Radio.com
Speaking of hard questions, Werner, you asked a few last night. And Reidy's nonresponse response prompts a comment from you. You can't let it hang like that. We've talked about it before. It's a confusing mess that contempt of court business. But you can find a way to summarize so we don't all die of legaleze. Please post the comment on AsburyRadio.com where the exchange can be heard. And please explain why Bill Gray isn't heard on there even though his name is on the agenda. I wrote Reidy to ask the reason for his not being there. If I get a reply, I'll post it.

[AsburyPark] Re: Henderson
Somehow I just don't think so. Sue has always struck me as someone who likes to do a lot of things for the community, because they need doing -- not because the click is doing something. And I think she keeps her own counsel, if you'll pardon the pun. If Loffredo thinks he can run-herd on Sue, I think he's in for a surprise. I've watched her conduct the Homeowners Assn. meetings. She's fair and pretty stern. No nonesense. I don't see her acquiescing to the Partners when they balked at developers having to post performance bonds. No sir. That would not fly with Sue. Just a feeling. By the way, what about that letter of credit? Remember how Fishman kept putting it off? Was that when MM came into the picture?
