You've exposed the real problem. Most cops just aren't that bright.

We need more cops in JC, thats a fact! Cops should make good money as they risk their lives every day. We also need the old time cops to retire since they do NOTHING and get paid the most. Now firemen on the other hand are way OVERPAID! Yes they risk their lives but 99% of the time they are doing nothing!

Heres the deal with the Building Department. They do not take bribes anymore since they have been investigated. What they do is delay everyone and abuse what little power they think they have! They blame the delays on the fact that they have to take furlough days. THEY ARE DELAYING EVERYONE because they are pissed off that they cant take bribes and they have to take mandatory days off! THEY ARE GARBAGE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS GARBAGE!

I knew it was only a matter of time, as far as back and forth it is more like the constant new-comers in droves that bring the little buggers here. The airlines are the next stop for these bed bugs. Just look at the stories of the ships bringing immigrants in at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, it was a menace to society. 21st century in the age of technology and we have to contend with this culture shock.

Walk down stairs to PATH, three PATH employees sitting on stairs blocking people from walking down, swearing \"F*ck this, F*ck that\" about something they\'re evidently all pissed off about. Dude is about 300 lbs of fatness and blocking the entire stair, I have to shimmy past him. They don\'t budge.
WTC train sits there for about 8 minutes not moving.
Me loves my PATH train. So delightful.

The guy mopping is sub-contracted hired by PATH. He should have heard you, it happens to me as well especially at the 9th St. station the guy even looked at me and smiled they just don\'t get it. People today are quick to tune out others.
Were the PATH employees that were blocking the stairs wearing blue security uniforms, they too are sub-contracted hired by PATH. They have some sort of authority and convey information along with the actual PATH passenger information agent employees wearing the red jackets and shirts.
Also did you check the Newark bound train schedule to see if it was time yet for the train to depart ?? I hate it when the security guard blocks the threshold area when exiting the handicap turnstile at the WTC and the threshold to the corridor to the WTC elevator.

For Newporters who come into the JCList, let's use this thread as a place where we can trade information about bedbugs whether in the rentals or the condos.
I know that Lefrak will be totally silent on the subject and would prefer that our first clues as to the danger will be our awakening some morning with suspisioud itchy bites.

A friend in the Thomas Jesfferson told me there was an outbreak on the higher floors including his apartment. I have seen several discarrded mattresses whose seams were covered in red and brown spots and crusty exoskeletal remains. These were deposited next to the dumpsters aside the George Washington.

I talked to our exterminator about extent of infections, and methods employed to combat them, but he seemed deliberately vague.

I don't have them and I don't want them but with the endless stream of transient South Asians with their bevy of suitcases going back and forth every holiday, I think the infections can only spread.



Do you know anything? Can you think of any suggestions to get management out of the DENIAL stage and face reality...I know, rhetorical question.

No one is arguing about being underpaid. I think at this level, we are duly compensated.

If you're ill about our benefit package, I invite you to take the civil service test.

Best of luck.

At the risk of feeding a troll: what crap about being underpaid! An NYPD officer with 5.5 years in makes $91k BEFORE the usual overtime, and not counting health and retirement bennies. I'd be surprised if many readers here make more than the whole package. As a freelancer, I probably would have to make well north of $150k to equal it when you factor in the healthcare, social security and pension.

source: http://www.nypdrecruit.com/NYPD_BenefitsOverview.aspx

It's the constant whining about pay that convinces young people that being a PO, nurse or teacher is a bad idea, when in fact they are well paid, and have great benefits. I know a supervising social worker with both BA and MSW from ivy's and 15 years experience who makes $15k less than the above with far less benefits. Granted he's not risking getting shot on a daily basis, but there's lot's of risky jobs with pay nowhere near a cops.

Posts like this lose you respect, not gain it.

Hehe yeah, the new trains do have a slight crap smell to them. But that's definitely a different smell from the rotten eggs smell from WTC to Exchange. The combo smell of both is pretty awesome.

I've noticed it, too. This time of year, I suspect it has to do condensation/mildew in the air conditioning system.


I've only noticed it on the WTC trains (new and old), and wonder if maybe that tunnel runs parallel to a sewer line.

Sadly, public safety seems to always bear the brunt of animosity and is the onus of government despondency.

The age-old mantra of “police make too much” for so long (and too long) has been cried.

The attraction to becoming a police officer or fire fighter because of its benefits should not be surprising or admonished. Are there any doctors, attornery, brokers reading this? Many of us chose professions outside of public safety for the very same reason!

Prior to becoming a police officer, I was a consultant for a prominent firm after having earned my MBA from Columbia University. I chose this profession because of its lucrative benefits. As the possibility of downsizing was on the horizon at my firm, I decided to fulfill a childhood dream and pursue a career as a police officer, taking a substantial reduction in pay, but with the promise of job security.

The benefits of policing may seem overly generous and even undeserving; however I challenge you to ask yourself, would you do the job for the same pay? Furthermore, lowering the pay or stripping the (few) benefits afforded to public safety will only reduce the hiring standards because no (qualified) individual will subject themselves to the harsh and hostile working conditions as they are today for miserly compensation.

You only need to look at the NYPD to see evidence of my argument. Because of their poor compensation, they are forced to lower their hiring standards and hire in droves because of attrition but more importantly, termination for cause.

You may think that police do nothing…just go out and purchase a scanner and listen for yourself just what’s going on in your district. I bet you’ll think differently once you hear just how busy (and depending on the call) just how scary policing is.

“A policeman is a composite of what all men are... a mingling of saint and sinners... dust and deity. Cold statistics wave the fan over the stinkers...underscore instances of dishonesty and brutality because they are news.

What that REALLY means is they are exceptional, unusual - not commonplace. Buried under the froth is the fact that less than one half of one percent of policemen misfit that uniform. And that's a better average than among clergymen.

What is a policeman made of. He of all men is at one the most needed and the most unwanted... a strangely nameless creature who is "sir" to his face... and "pig" to his back.

He must be such a diplomat that he can settle differences between individuals... so that each will think he won... But if the policeman is neat, he's a flirt. If he's not, he's a grouch.

In an instant he must make decisions which require months for a lawyer. But if he hurries, he's careless. If he's deliberate, he's lazy. He must be first to an accident... infallible with a diagnosis... he must be able to start breathing, stop bleeding, tie splints and above all be sure the victim goes home without a limp, or expect to be sued.

The police officer must know every gun... draw on the run... and hit where it doesn't hurt. He must be able to whip two men his size and half his age....without damaging his uniform and without being brutal. If you hit him, he's a coward. If he hits you, he's a bully.

A policeman must know everything and not tell. He must know where all the sin is and not partake.

The policeman must, from a single human hair, be able to describe the crime, the weapon and the criminal.. and tell you where the criminal is hiding. But if he catches the criminal he's lucky... if he doesn't he's a dunce. If he gets promoted he has political pull. If he doesn't he's a dullard.

The policeman must chase bum leads to a dead end and stake out ten nights to tag one witness who saw it happen, but refused to remember.

He runs files and writes reports until his eyes ache to build a case against some felon who will get dealed out by a shameless shamus or an honorable who isn't.

A policeman must be a minister... social worker... a diplomat... a tough guy... and a gentleman.

And of course he will have to be a genius... for he will have to feed a family on a policeman's salary.”

Due to safety reasons, a 70’ Silver Maple must be removed from Van Vorst Park. We have planted a 25-year-old Copper Beech next to this maple to replace the loss.

The Friends of Van Vorst Park and Marco and Pepe will donate a $100 voucher toward a dinner at M&P to the person who comes closest to guessing the age of this magnificent old tree.

To give you some history and parameters, VVP was deeded to the City of Jersey City in 1835 and was first planted by Peter Henderson in 1851. A Silver Maple has a life span of 130-150 years, however in 1901, a tornado ripped through the park and leveled all but 15 of the original 75 trees.

The tree is located 40’ inside the northeast entrance at Montgomery and Barrow on the Montgomery side of the park… a sign will be placed on the trunk. Use the Internet, you’re intuition, or guess, and e-mail the answer to: marcwesson2@aol.com with contact info …only one vote per e-mail address (please don’t get piggy by trying to get around a single vote per person). A drawing will break ties.

The tree is scheduled to be removed between July 27-30. At least three people will count the rings of the trunk to determine the exact age.

parkman
Tomorrow, the 29th at noon, is the deadline for guesses to be submitted. So far I have ages ranging from 52-159…good luck to all.

Thank you David once again for clearing up all the questions, I for one have. Rather then a half assed post that no one can understand, I think it is important right now to address any of the concerns that the animal community has I have asked over at DogJC but was told that they will not "discuss" it on that board and I was told I should find out more over on JCList. That kind of made me shocked because DogJC is I think a community group for dog owners of JC that was created for owners to talk about concerns regarding the dog community, their dogs and just general chit-chat. I have met some great people and dogs from DogJC but still was appalled that I was told I couldnt talk about that very important dog issue in that group. I have been meaning to post on here concerning this issue and i'm glad I have.

Well yoyoaco - let us start with a few facts and then some questions.

Fact 1 - Yes, Harry M. knows that Diana Jeffrey is back on the Board. He has in fact been working closely with her on the current issues and been very helpful. He is particularly thankful of the fact that Diana's quick thinking the night the Board resigned is what saved him from having to take it over and run it as a pound.

Fact 2 - Niki Dawson's lawsuit is against a particular city employee, not "the city." She also spearheaded the State project to create an emergency plan for rescuing and transporting domestic animals in the event of a terrorist attack or other cataclysmic event. There is not a single animal advocate on any of the so-called "sides" of this argument who has not benefited from work she has done. If they say they haven't, they are simply lying or don't realize that what they got came from her work. That said, Niki is helping to asses the situation at LHS as a favor, and is not seeking or desirous of a position within LHS or it's Board.

Fact 3 - The same Diana Jeffrey whom you hate having around LHS co-founded it and was the attorney who worked so hard for OVER TWO YEARS to shut down the HCDSPCA and get Hector Carbajales stripped of his animal control certification. You may not agree with all they do, or how they do it, but you would be VERY hard pressed to find two people who have done more to fight for the lives and welfare of domestic animals in New Jersey than Diana and Niki.

Unfortunately, I do not know who DH is supposed to be. Perhaps if you wrote like someone with something real to say who used full names including their own, instead of a bullpenner on TMZ, that could be addressed as well. Hell without a name we don't even know if you really do clean cages and walk dogs.

Instead you ask if people want to know what is "really going on" and then pose a bunch of questions that make it clear that you don't have a clue what is going on. Yes, Melendez knows. No, he is not trying to or desiring to get rid of them. They worked together to create the place starting 12 years ago and for all that has gone on since then they all want to see it survive and thrive.

So as long as you are taking questions here are two:

1 - Who are you?

2- Are you smart enough to help the new Board save the shelter you profess to love from going bankrupt and becoming a pound, or would you prefer to spend your time attacking the people who founded it and are now working their asses off to save it?

Oh dear readers, how little do you know. Does everyone think we just clean cages and walk dogs? Wanna know what's really going on?

Firstly, Harry M must be freaking out! DJ is back in the saddle at LHS. Does he know Nikki D is snooping around our shelter?? How humiliating. He can't seem to get rid of the pair of them. One is suing the city and the other is the lawyer!! Poor H. Also does he know that Pinky has been chi chatting with DH on a palsy walsy basis for the past year???? OY.

Stay tuned......and just so you know, we take questions from the audience, that's you guys.

Lets make it as hard as possible, and shake em down while we're at it! If we make it too easy the next thing you know they'll be getting into politics and trying to change that too, then we'll all lose our no-show jobs...

"Now class, listen up.
If you MEASURE it, clearly this room is 10 by 12. BUT if you have potential buyers WITHOUT a tape measure, you can call it 12 by 14 and the buyers will never know until they try to move in their king sized bed and dresser.
But you will have already deposited your commisssion check. That's called CREATIVE SELLING!

If they SHOULD bring up 'this room seems small' just keep telling them how BRIGHT it is!"

(PS...the bedroom I described was actually shown to me yesterday!)

looks like progress has ground to a halt.... just saw red "stop construction" stickers in the windows of the old wamu/future barcade on newark ave. the reason? no permits. (which is probably shorthand for "no donations to the healy defense fund")


While I'm no fan of 30 Montgomery, they should have known that in JC they need permits to do anything more than paint. You can't build or demo a simple closet without a permit, or hang a cabinet, and forget about electric past the outlet box or plumbing beyond the sink trap.

Of course everyone does all of the above on the low down, but that's hard to pull off when renovating a storefront!

I guess you have to define residential, the area could be considered commercial. Either way, good luck getting anyone to do anything about it if it is illegal

I guess you're right. But the combination of the public act, being around children and then also having a penis piercing AND that it might be infected. how do you think the hospital personnel felt evaluating this guy? gross.

Rugs do help. When I moved into my building, my downstairs neighbor complained every day that just the simple act of my walking around was a disturbance.

I bought a couple of rugs and now she only complains when I vacuum the rugs when she's trying to sleep.

Jersey City gave away all the land next to Liberty State Park for a magnificent golf course that the residents ofJersey City cannot play at, so thank goodness we now have a mini golf course!!

check out the rentals on jclofts.com. I think it might be exactly what you are looking for.

This is alarming ! It seems that jclofts is selling and renting apartments in the same building. If I were to buy in a place like that I wouldn't want absentee landlords ie: (renters) as neighbors.

I've been to the Spa at Port Liberté a few times, once for a massage and once for a facial. They're very good in my opinion. I also just discovered a new spa within walking distance of my place in the Heights. It's actually in Hoboken, right by the 9th St./Congress St. Light Rail station- Pleasant Road Spa. It's in the Monroe Center building. I've booked a prenatal massage there Fri. I got a mani/pedi there a couple weeks ago and liked it!

Yes, I agree about the affordability of using Elance.com. I've used it in the past and got pretty solid results. This time around though I am looking for something much more straight forward and would really love to have a local artist or programmer to have some insight into the page design. If anyone knows anyone that might fit the bill please let know.
