I do like his position on the following

 Withdrawal from NAFTA and WTO

 Guaranteed Quality Education, Pre-K Through High School

 Full Social Security Benefits at Age 65

However, I do not agree with the rest. It is a shame that the Corrupt Democratic Machine in NJ prevents him from a wider audience. When he comes back to JC , I will make time go see him.

A sincere "Thank you."
And a pre-midnight "Please."

To all the thousands of you who have taken the time and effort to vote for me in the Democracy for America Presidential Pulse Poll, I want to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude. Your confidence in me and your willingness to take a few moments to register your support for what we both believe is making a huge difference.

We're ahead in the balloting so far, but it's too close to call. And that's the reason for this final personal message. Voting ends tonight, Monday, midnight (Eastern Standard Time).

You've been gracious enough to take our messages over the past few days, and, with everything else going on in your lives, I know that may have been a burden. But, without your vote, without your voice, the Presidential "debate" would be little more than a political dance that carefully avoids the issues we really care about.

Today, long before the primary elections and the caucuses, YOU have a chance to vote to:

*end the war in Iraq,

*prevent the next war in Iran,

*take profit out of health care and give people the protection they deserve through real universal health care,
repeal the Patriot Act,

*end the Constitutional abuses by the White House and the Executive Branch,

*cancel NAFTA and other trade agreements that wipe out American jobs,

*expand educational opportunities, and put millions of Americans to work in a Works Green Administration that makes environmental conscientiousness an economic engine.

If you haven't voted in the DFA poll yet, please do. If you have, thank you. If you have any family members, friends, or colleagues who haven't voted, please forward them this email and urge them to do so.

THIS vote today may set the course of this election. THIS is the chance to make a difference. THIS is when one vote - your vote - may count more than ever. Vote your beliefs. Vote your conscience. Vote your heart. But VOTE.

Thank you for your support

Dennis J. Kucinich

Let's stop them from abusing our neighborhoods.

I used Martin's Tree Service last year. Found him out of the yellow pages. He came right a way and was ready to work there and then. Took a dead sumac off of another tree it had fused with for $200 (without removing the debris - I did that myself). It wasn't a huge tree but it seemed like a decent price.

I also love the equipment at Brick Haus. Nice gym so far.

No doubt you have all voted in the DFA Presidential poll here, http://democracyforamerica.com/pulsepoll , and Dennis is leading Al Gore by a significant margin. The active candidates lag far behind as you can see here, http://www.democracyforamerica.com/ . If you haven?t voted, please do so as the poll closes tonight. However, there is a new poll that started this morning for NJ voters. It is at the NJ blog Blue Jersey which also provides good coverage and comment on progressive issues in NJ. Go here: BlueJersey.com to log in and vote. If you don?t already have an account it?s easy and free to sign up. Let?s show NJ that Dennis has as much support here than as in the national DFA poll. LET?S VOTE, PEOPLE!!!!! Vote Now - Time Is Almost Up The final DFA Presidential Pulse Poll ends tonight at midnight Eastern Standard Time. That means you only have a few hours left to vote and make sure your voice is heard. Today is a big day. With over 130,000 votes cast, the poll is already the largest presidential poll of progressive activists this year. Yet this isn't even close to over. Traditionally, tens of thousands of votes come in on the last day. That means the winner is still very much up for grabs. Cast your vote right now: DemocracyForAmerica.com Barack Obama has moved from second to fourth and currently back to third. Can Obama finally hit the top spot and repeat his previous DFA Pulse Poll victory from April 2007? You decide. As of this morning, Dennis Kucinich has over 40,000 votes and a striking lead in first place -- proving that the Kucinich get out the vote campaign is delivering results. Will he win? You decide. Early in the poll, DFA members wrote in Al Gore and propelled him to first place for almost a week. Will the unannounced candidate manage to take back the lead? You decide. John Edwards held the top spot on day one of voting and held it throughout the first week. Can Edwards return to the top for an incredible finish? You decide. Today is your last chance to vote: DFA Pulse Poll This is not an ordinary poll. Several candidates have sent you "vote for me" messages and videos on the issues they believe you care about. The count is based on one vote per email. So if one of the candidate's messages swayed you, you can change your vote today and it will override your previous choice. After you vote, get your friends, family and co-workers to support your candidate. Think of this as Election Day. You have the power to choose the winner. It's up to you to make it happen.

Ed Hufnagel and his son Mike run a large operation with multiple trucks and at least a couple different crews. Ed, Mike, and a 3rd employee are all both NJ Certified Tree Experts and ISA Certified Arborists. They do what they are told, work quickly, and don't leave a mess. My only complaint is their popularity can make them hard to reach. The phone always goes straight to voice mail, but they usually call back within a day.

When high sea levels result in sewage in your apartment, sea levels get your serious attention, not a chuckle. The city is already in the process of reducing property values by reconsidering C of O's for garden apartments.

This year, your vote on statewide public question #3 will decide the future of New Jersey's preservation efforts. Vote yes on #3 to preserve New Jersey's parks, natural areas, clean water, wildlife habitat, farmland and historic treasures and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

On November 6th, New Jersey voters will be asked to approve the Green Acres, Farmland, Blue Acres and Historic Preservation Bond Act of 2007. By authorizing the state to issue $200 million in bonds, the Act would provide much-needed funds to keep the state's open space, farmland and historic preservation programs afloat for one more year and to support the Blue Acres program to purchase flood prone properties from willing sellers.

The Garden State Preservation Trust has funded New Jersey's preservation programs since 1998 when voters approved a ballot question by a 2 to 1 margin dedicating nearly 10 years of funds for the Trust. However, the Trust is now running out of money and passage of this question is necessary to keep the state's preservation and park improvement efforts going until a long-term funding source is secured.

Even with current preservation efforts, New Jersey loses more than 40 acres of open space to development everyday. At this rate, our state is projected reach full build out within 30 years. Your yes vote on #3 is needed to ensure that New Jersey can continue to preserve open space, farmland and historic treasures across the state before it is too late.

This November 6th, invest in the future of New Jersey by voting yes on this ballot question and encouraging friends and family to do the same. To find your polling place, visit https://voter.njsvrs.com/PublicAccess/ ... Place/PollPlaceSearch.jsp.

Learn More about Question #3 Below

How will New Jersey residents benefit from the passage of the bond act?

Protecting our state's natural areas, farmlands, parks, and historic sites enhances the beauty and quality of life for all New Jersey residents. Even with current preservation efforts, New Jersey loses more than 40 acres of open space to development everyday. At this rate, our state is projected to reach full development within 30 years. We must preserve these lands before it is too late in order to protect our clean drinking water supplies, provide parks for our children, reduce the impact of floods and storms, and keep our communities attractive and safe. Parks and natural areas provide places for hiking, jogging and other physical activity, which increases fitness and reduces obesity. These areas also reduce air and water pollution impacts on public health and associated costs for health care and drinking water treatment. Finally, urban parks have been linked to community revitalization through job creation and neighborhood crime reduction.

How will the money from the bond act be used?

Passage of public question #3 will provide funds to continue the existing Green Acres, Farmland Preservation and New Jersey Historic Trust programs. These valuable state programs preserve open space, working farms and historic sites in communities across the state, protect our drinking water and provide parks and recreational opportunities for New Jersey residents. The bond act will also provide funds for the Blue Acres program to purchase flood-prone lands from willing sellers for open space preservation purposes. Eligible lands are either prone to or have already incurred flood or storm damage and are located in the Delaware, Passaic and Raritan river basin floodways.

Will the passage of public question #3 increase my taxes?

Passage of question #3 will not impose any new taxes, and the funds made available can be paid for with existing revenue. The act allows the State Treasurer to issue bonds, which must be paid back within the next 30 years. Bonding, a common method for funding land acquisition and capital improvements, is the most logical and successful way to fund preservation because it takes advantage of current market values by purchasing land now instead of waiting until it is too expensive or already lost to development. New Jersey voters have approved 11 bond measures since 1961 dedicating funds for preservation efforts.

A yes vote will also help stabilize property taxes. The loss of open space and farmland to development results in increased property taxes as municipalities fund new schools, roads and public infrastructure to support this development. According to a recent report by the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions, studies show that for every $1.00 collected in taxes, residential development costs between $1.04 and $1.67 in services. These costs are ongoing and generally increase over time. The acquisition of open space, on the other hand, requires fewer services and costs taxpayers far less over the long term. These areas quickly pay for themselves, providing ongoing savings and substantial environmental and economic benefits to the community, such drinking water protection, public recreation opportunities, critical wildlife habitat and job creation through ecotourism.

How will passage of question #3 support my town's local preservation efforts?

Passing the act will significantly strengthen local and regional preservation efforts by providing matching funds for the local dollars collected by over 225 municipalities and all 21 counties for open space and farmland preservation projects. The funds will also be used for statewide preservation efforts that do not involve local money.

Where can I get more information and how can I help spread the word?

Visit the Keep It Green Campaign website at www.NJKeepItGreen.org for more information. You can help by voting yes on question #3 and by spreading the word about the ballot question. Please distribute a copy of the vote yes flier available in English and Spanish on the resources page of the website or contact Volunteer Coordinator Liz Silvernail at 215-630-2832 for other opportunities.

The New Jersey - Keep it Green Campaign focuses on ensuring voter approval of this bond act in November as well as securing a long-term funding source for the Garden State Preservation Trust in the future. Members include over 90 statewide, local and regional organizations ranging from sportsmen's groups and environmental organizations to affordable housing and urban park advocates working together to secure a long-term stable source of funding for the acquisition, capital improvement, operation, maintenance, and stewardship of state and local natural areas, parks and historic sites in New Jersey.

There's nothing I hate more than unreasonable sea levels. If the sea wants to be seen as a reliable partner in Jersey City's development, I think it should pick a level and stick with it. If the sea can't hold up its end of the bargain, we should call in the Army Corps of Engineers and start building levees. I hear those boys do good work.

Meh. I stopped in Friday night to check it out and still am not sold.

(I belong to Gold Coast now, which has its own issues -- I'm looking at YOU, people who bathe in perfume and AXE body spray before working out, wear JEANS TO SPINNING CLASS and never clean up after yourself -- but it's also cheaper.)

For me, the deal-breaker was the crappy lighting; I could see my shadow when I was walking around the place. Just weird. Made me instantly feel tired. And I like to get my reading on when I'm getting my cardio on. I'm efficient that way.

The music was also a little obnoxious. I felt like I was in a teenager's bedroom or something.

But the equipment is undeniably awesome.

Maybe if the prices come down, I'll get on board. Until then, it's the basement for me.

Seriously, Newport isn't really the luxury community that LeFrak is pretending it is, but it's no worse than a lot of Battery Park City.

In the long run, because of history, architecture, interesting shopping (the India Square markets) and street layouts, Journal Square is probably the neighborhood in Jersey City with the most potential to be a really gorgeous, tourist-attracting neighborhood, but, right now, it's really a tourist-hostile area. For one thing, nothing aimed at tourists does anything whatsoever to tell them where Journal Square is.

Maybe an out-of-town writer could write about the glorious of Exchange Place/Paulus Hook, but, if tourists showed up there, about the only place they would figure out where to eat would be the Au Bon Pain, and the only place they could go to shop would be the pharmacy by the Essex Street light rail stop.

Quote:

I never thought about the sea levels and how they might impact my property value. Great, one more thing to worry about.

COME ON.

Seriously.

I am more worried about Newport representing this city to the rest of the world than sea levels. Because if the river rises, we're all going down.

Blub blub blub...

Quote:

If you were writing this about police officers occasionally drinking in public, well, OK.

But the idea that a developer systematically uses the police force as a private army to help him break the law over the course of months really is repulsive.

Maybe that often is "how things are done," but I don't think it's very good if violations THAT flagrant go on and aren't even the target of ineffective legal protests.

If Goldman and the city really were that awful, why isn't some lawyer somewhere still filing some kind of RICO suit against them? Or is it possible that there is a suit out there somewhere, or that the statute of limitations hasn't passed and there's a suit in progress somewhere?

Quote:

In my opinion, what used to be holding Jersey City down was crime. If the city gets a grip on crime downtown and along the water, and sea levels stay reasonable, then real estate here will end up doing reasonably well, in the long run, even if the market goes through a few years of panic.

If crime really gets out of hand, or, of course, if climate change puts Jersey City under 20 feet of water, then real estate will do badly here no matter how well the rest of the world economy starts to do.

We saw this guy perform a week ago at the St. Jude's fair.

He was great. What was an interesting multicultural Jersey City moment was when I realized that one of the first (maybe the first) songs he was puppeteering to was "Fiddler on the Roof."

Quote: I am all for protecting historic buildings, but funding of this sort should be done with private donations not public tax dollars.

This is better!

NJ does not need any more tax increases. People are leaving this state in droves because of how overtaxed we are. Don't let the politicians fool you with their clever rouse to increase our taxes. Vote NO on all the questions!

I didn't know where Fatso was pulling his money out of. His ass? I thought he was talking about stocks that are not blue chip.

What do you consider a "proper pec deck"

I'm pretty sure they have the one where you keep your arms sraight out and grasp the handels, can be reversed to do read delt.
I'm lifitng chest tonight so I'll double check and report back.

They have a lot of really nice cardio equipment, all top of the line stuff.
The space is great, well lit and good air circulation.
The steam room and sauna are roomy and very nice as well.

Bottom line, it was worth the wait and it's def a great place to work out.
