Any recommendations for an upscale spa to provide a facial for a Xmas gift in JC? (Christmas gift).

If you're really sure it's illegal, make the call and say you saw ten extension cords powering up space heaters and ratty toaster ovens, along with a gas oven with the door open heating the kitchen. Given some of the tragic fires in JC I'd say you'd get an inspection pretty quickly.

Secure parking is a plus, because I wouldn't want to be driving around at night looking for a parking spot. If the Cordage Building ever gets finished that would make that location much more appealing. But cross Communipaw from there and you're on Ocean Avenue in about a block. It would be a little too urban homesteading for me at this point in time.

I owned a rental property in Millburn, and one of the neighbors had his sister's kids dropped off everyday at his house to take the bus to school-the sister lived in Maplewood. One call to the elementary school principal took care of the issue.

Nonsense. The population of the USA overwhelmingly opposes 'single payer' (which is a nice way of saying government run and controlled healthcare). And your comment about 'throwing the baby' is basically what Obama has been saying about the millions of people who've lost their healthcare already because of his 'signature' accomplishment, lol! And trust me, nothing would be 'simple' about socialized medicine except insanely long waits for care a la Canada. Luckily I can afford concierge doctor care, I feel bad for those who will lose the plans they enjoy now and be forced into more expensive plans with doctors they don't want. This experiment into socialism and wealth redistribution (which is what the goal is) will be an epic fail for the middle class-the wealth earners will end up fine, the poor will gain a bit and the wage earners will be hit hard.

'wishful thinking' has a very apt screen name, because that's exactly what he/she is espousing. Obama had three years and unlimited money to kick start his 'signature' legislation, and he's failed in an epic way. If it wasn't so damaging to so many tax paying citizens I'd laugh, but it's tragic to the millions who've lost their insurance so far, and it will be tragic beyond belief if it doesn't get radically altered.

Hey, I'll ignore the independent facts that show tort reform and cross state shopping (or even in state shopping) would reduce healthcare costs. I'm just alarmed about the hidden costs of Obamacare costing us much more than Obama promised.

vindication has obviously ignored every single poll that has shown support for Obama and his 'signature accomplishment', Obamacare have dropped since October 1. In a non-partisan manner, Republicans, Democrats, and independents all are upset about Obamacare and the lies that re-elected Obama.
Now that's the fact, jack. And Obamacare is the result of one party creating a bill without accepting input from another-I guess we're still waiting for the hearings to be held on CSpan, like Obama promised. Another fact. And the back room deals cut with Mary Landrieu (who's sprinting away from Obama), North Dakota, his union buddies (who are now revolting, after they read it after they helped pass it!) . . . Another fact. According to four non partisan polls Obama's now down to about 41% approval ratings, his worst ever. Of course, Jersey City would probably be much higher, as Hudson County (and Essex County) were the only two counties in NJ to go blue in our Gubernatorial election last month. Which says a lot.

Rather than quote Vindications lame attempt to deflect, just look at the facts. Obama didn't qualify his remarks-if he had, he wouldn't have given his 'mea culpa' about the lies, would he?
As he said-period. As Pelosi said-you have to pass it to know what's in it. The fact is, screwing 85% of US citizens who were happy with their health care to help the 15% who needed help was/is absurd, and the 85% are now finding out. Why are they finding out now? Because they were lied to believing they keep their plans and their doctors. The biggest lie is the dual Obamacare/Affordable Care Act name. What did O/A do to lower costs for those with insurance? Do we have tort reform? Can we shop for insurance across state lines? No, neither of these cost saving initiatives were written into the law by the Democrats. Which is one reason why no Republicans voted for it. What is so scary to the left is that Obamacare is ENTIRELY ON THEM. They wrote it behind closed doors, they made backroom deals to get the votes needed, and they still had to pass it using a shady procedural move with zero bi-partisan support. IT"S ALL ON THEM. No whining that Republicans opposed it has any fact that it's failing on its merits, and that despite Obama having 3 years to get it ready it's fallen flat on its face. A website that should have cost a few million and ended up costing the better part of a billion is the least of the problems. And gee, the government shut down was over the Republicans wanting a year delay for the individual mandate, just like Obama had already given the corporate mandate. Which Obama said he wouldn't do. Until he read the polls. And then he did, lol. What a leader! All that shut down misery for nothing! Lied to by the person who should have more integrity than any other elected official.

Lie about Obamacare, saves a couple million votes. Voter suppression by denying non-profit groups status by the IRS, maybe some more. Stall on investigations on Benghazi and Fast n Furious, add some more. Make up phony employment numbers, dropping unemployment percentages under 8% just before November, yup more of the same. Add them all up, and Obama's squeakier second term voting results besides those moves, and you may have a one term POTUS. But the ends justify the means to the Chicago mob.

As much as vindication would like to have us believe, the facts are that Obama went in front of the public dozens of times and stated, flatly with NO qualifiers and/or exceptions, that if you liked your insurance and doctors you could keep them-PERIOD.
It was a craven lie designed to fool the American public just before an election, one that he won by a lesser margin than his first, and with fewer people voting. It worked. His lies got him elected. But it's apparent, by the fact that his poll ratings are the worst in his Presidency, that in addition to being a liar he's also an incompetent POTUS. Which, after all, is what we knew going in, as his experience was woefully lacking. His legacy will, perhaps, be the worst POTUS in history. The water carriers, of course, will play the race card to diminish the fact, but it's color blind-white, black, mixed race he's been a disaster of his own creation.

Flemings in Edgewater again yesterday for the win. The $6 plate of carpaccio was unreal, a large plate covered with the thinly sliced raw filet, crisscrossed with a creamy sauce, mounded in the center with plenty of greens and basil, and surrounded by 6! large slices of toast to pile it all onto. The $6 prime Manhattan with premium bourbon was excellent, as was the Stiletto my g/f had, a very generous pour of Hendricks gin over muddled blackberry and sour mix and ginger ale. The unlimited house made potato chips are also wonderful.

You don't want him to be Governor, but he is. Yes, raising the minimum wage will stall new hires, as will forcing companies to provide healthcare when they have more than 49 full time employees. That's why just about all the new jobs have been part time or temp jobs, not quality jobs. It's amazing that people who defend Obama point to the gains in the stock market. Doesn't that reflect the rich getting richer, especially when the jobs market is so bleak? It's exactly the opposite of what he campaigned on! Workforce participation is at the lowest level in many decades-just imagine what the 'real' unemployment numbers are if those who've given up were counted. If you are ignorant about NJ tenure reform it's easy to explain. Teachers need to teach and be evaluated for 4 years instead of 3 to be eligible, and teachers are much more easily removed for poor performance. Even Democratic leader Sweeney said it was the first education reform in 100 years! Another bi-partisan win!
