Tough sell to begin with but fait accompli were the prices. Way, way, way overpriced were the juice blends. Upon inquiry, was informed that the price of the blending machine(s) were at root.

Re: Jersey City Council grants 20-year tax exemption for Downtown hotel
#94
Home away from home
Home away from home


Tax abatement, err tax exemption.

What's that? What is an abatement or exemption? In this particular case, it is a lessening of or elimination of tax that this hotel would otherwise pay to the city over a twenty year period, right?

So, somebody please help me out here. Because it seems to me that a 152 room hotel at 80 Columbus ought pay approximately $1,000,000 (one million) to $1,500,000 (one million five hundred thousand) per year in property tax to the city. At least this amount. Am I close? So then, a million dollars per year amounts to twenty million over twenty years. So, twenty million in lost tax revenue is what all the hub bub is about.

But, there was talk of an 11 million dollar Payment In Lieu, so right there, we're down to 9 million. And there were other sweeteners as well, further mitigating the "give-away."

Bottom line, in a city with 250,000 people, the amount paid by John Q. taxpayer for this abatement is negligible. The question in my mind is why are we allowing for another corporate entity to snake its way into the prime real estate zone. THIS will have lasting consequences. For a brief time, Jersey City was cool, but then came the capitalists, with their Marriots, and Westins and Hyatts. Who decided that this address -- 80 Columbus -- is fit for a corporate hotel entity? I'd rather a museum, concert hall or University building.

Wow, no arrest yet. Time for a new investigative team.

After seeing the video, it occurs to me that the Black dude in the biker vest knows who shot Tallington. Why no full court press on him? Why not release his name? Surely, investigators know his (the Black dude in the biker vest) name, right?

Someone within the Newark Knights biker organization does, I'll bet. Just ride West on Springfield Avenue on a Saturday, only spot in the tri state I've seen that has an all Black biker club sporting scores of Harley Davidson motorcycles in front of its clubhouse.

Somebody knows him.

Re: 333 Fairmount - Info on the area and crime in McGinley Square

Saint Peter's University is in the area, you'll benefit from its presence as no University survives without a secure neighborhood.

But, it IS Jersey City and it isn't in Ward E. So, it is true, you are near Duncan Avenue and low income housing. As is the case in any setting that harbors low socioeconomic housing, you'll get your low level crime, like smashing into cars to grab something of value.

That area though, I think, is a good investment long term. I pretty much feel that way about all of Jersey City, with the exception of both the Heights and Greenville. Wouldn't touch either with a ten foot pole.

Re: Plumber?

Home away from home


Carmine Aumenta sent one of his son's to install a kitchen sink in my unit. The kid did an excellent job, my sink is looking great over a year later.

But I paid $700. And that was after Carmine initially quoted me $750 over the phone. I'm no plumber but for a few hours of work, albeit quality work, and a sink which sells at Home Depot for far less than the quoted price, I am feeling like I overpaid.

But, at least the job was done well.

If he were White, he'd already have been kicked to the curb. But maybe, given this country's long history of oppression towards African Americans, his comments in '95 were justified.

Apparently there is no transcript, or at least I haven't seen one. I'd be curious to know the context within which he made the Abrham Lincoln remark. This one is most interesting to me, the idea that Lincoln was a wolf in sheep's clothing is one I've never heard. Wonder why he felt this way and what supporting ideas he used to back up his argument, that Lincoln was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Most literacy courses emphasize "meaning-making" when transacting with text. From an authorial standpoint, I'd say I hit the nail right on the proverbial head. Because, most people know what is meant when they read the sentence you call into question. MOST people do anyway, lol. Sorry if your sense of decorum was somehow offended!

Repurposing containers is something every daycare and school do - they use them for arts and craft, storage and this has always been done as a good business practice. Buying products and non perishables in bulk, is what keeps many businesses viable, thus the need to repurpose containers is how one makes using liquids or products in a more manageable and safe way. Bleach can be bought in 55 gallon drums and the cost savings is huge.

The storage of cleaning products in a kitchen is common practice as its an area totally out of bounds for children and always with an adult present.

I still stand by the opinion that the kitchen aide is a knuckle-head and it was a justifiable firing and they are lucky not to be sued directly by a parent for negligence. If you do a search on a position description of a (general) kitchen aide, you will learn that they are accountable for many duties within the kitchen and the transference of bulk items into small manageable ones ... it also includes the hands on use of chemicals to clean pots and pans, equipment and prep areas.

If you're looking to blame someone, then its the kitchen aides training and their certification / accreditation to apply and do the job. Clearly they lacked common sense or slept through their classes!

Note: Parents always complain the high cost of childcare and the only way many daycare places can save money and keep overheads down is via bulk buying - nearly every business does it and any staff in a daycare would be especially aware of it, thus the need to repurpose containers to manage their bulk purchases.

score09, you need a reality check and look into some of these daycare places or even aged care facilities and get out of your cocoon of ignorance. Just recently there was a drive for plastic bottles, butter tubs and cereal boxes at our local daycare - I gather they were doing some sort of art project with the kids.

This missive is utterly ridiculous. Frankly, it's downright offensive.

Why?

Because I know FOR A FACT that existing and RESPONSIBLE daycare centers in DTJC do not allow Bleach or any other hazardous material within confine. Bottom line. Repurposed containers aside, NO RESPONSIBLE day care center allows hazardous material on site, none whatsoever.

Here we have some FAT ASS BIKE whose supposed address matches Stevie, carpet bagger, Fulop, and who lays claim to knowing everything about day care centers. Lol, what a tool.

Sounds fantastic! I look forward to the future and the days when street justice is commonplace, and shitbags that think they can screw over the "haves" (the people who work hard at their jobs in this case) can get their hands cut off like in many other parts of the world.


Right. There's a civilized and humane thought.

Are the people at the bottom of the current socioeconomic paradigm stealing from those above them? Or, is it the other way around, as with the housing crisis? Maybe you missed that one, lol. And, maybe if the owner paid a better wage, there would be no need for a tip jar.

Note: The report did state a label was on the MILK container that was overlooked and a note was made to make the label bigger to help prevent it reoccuring by employees that aren't so observant !
Obviously other staff didn't and hadn't made that basic mistake, thus this employee lacked simple common-sense or have a basic safety aptitude when dealing with kids.

This is a classic example of 'if in doubt, stay out and find out - before proceeding'. On many of my building sites I would erect signs with this message when acting as the safety officer.


Oh wow, where to begin, lol. FAB, FAB, what up my friend? You all wrong here -- and way, WAY, wrong, digging a deep hole.

Your comments are so totally far right-wing conserva -- TIGHT! I'll not embarrass you further. But to rationalize the firing of the kitchen worker, whether a native English tongue or not, is just downright inhumane. Goody, goody for you FAB, lol, you have it ALL figured out. Bottom line is the "director" of the day care center is the person worthy of condemnation. NOT, the worker FAB.

But, if you a Capitalist, well then, so you be. Be aware though, that The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

But credit should go the management for acting fast


Can't believe I'm reading this FAB, like some of your posts but this one is totally ridiculous.

The day care center fostered an environment in which "repurposed" milk and water containers were used for bleach and neglected to properly label them. I can't cay for sure, but I suspect without doubt that the unceremoniously fired kitchen worker was uninitiated and in no way lacking in common sense or "aptitude."

Ultimately, it was the day care center director's negligence that paved the way for bleach into the drinking cups. It is both disgusting and reprehensible on the part of the director that he has opted to NOT take responsibility and that, worse -- WAY WORSE -- he decided to fire the kitchen worker! Tells me all I need to know about him -- he's a coward!

teachparentlove wrote:
From one of our teacher facebook pages a list of things we witnessed the Source4Teachers substitutes doing this year. We are giving this company millions of dollars to sell us substitutes that can't get jobs anywhere else.


The characterization of S4T subs as unable to find jobs elsewhere is so incredibly arrogant, and totally uncalled for. I am a S4T sub, have a B.A. in History and am six credits shy of my M.A.T. In addition, I have six continuing education credits in my content area. I passed the content exam, Praxis 2, on the first take. My GRE scores in verbal reasoning were in the 73rd percentile. In the last year, I have submitted well over two hundred Social Studies Teacher applications to various New Jersey school districts and have been called to interview ONLY TWICE. My recommendations are impeccable, two of which are from recommenders who hold PhDs. My essay questions are on point and thoroughly vetted, my GPA at the graduate level is a 3.86 (which granted should be expected) and while my undergraduate GPA isn?t so red hot, it is still above the minimum standard set by the State. (I?m older, partied a lot in college back in the day, was immature and did not graduate Magna cum laude, sorry.) I also have a well rounded extra curricular background, having participated in collegiate athletics, for example.

The anecdotes you proffer are merely anecdotal. Sure, it is a travesty that S4T cares little about the educational pedigree of its subs. Of course you?ll get a few boneheads coming in and out of your classroom. But what about all the boneheads who by way of political patronage get teaching jobs? I?ve seen more than my fair share of teachers whose lesson plans aren?t aligned with the Core Curriculum Content Standards.

As a S4T sub, more often than not, the teacher leaves no lesson plan and if by chance, the teacher does leave a lesson plan, it is often vague, i.e., ?have the students read pages 402 through 406 in their textbooks, then have them work on their projects.? What projects? There are some schools in Jersey City, such as Snyder High School, that no matter the substitute, there is no controlling the classroom, no matter how skilled the sub is in the art of classroom management. I?ll bet your first grade class isn?t much different as far as classroom management goes.

S4T pays its substitutes $91 per day, or roughly $11 per hour. There is no pay for Holidays, snow days, summer break, and of course, no healthcare benefits. Essentially, a S4T sub is paid one quarter of what a newly hired teacher is paid. So, you get what you pay for.

Frankly, I find it difficult to believe that any S4T stole anything from your class. Is there any evidence? Some rather specious and dubious claims you make.

Incidentally, anyone wanting to know what it is like to be a substitute teacher ought to take a look at this well-written piece:
The farcical expectation that substitute teachers maintain classroom order

Not even score09 below who makes predictions with enviable certainty. Think about it this way, if he were really that good at the real estate price predictions, after all the volatility of the last decade, he'd be a multi-millionair right now.



What volatility? Jersey City real estate values are more than sixty percent higher than they were a decade ago. I know this because my property,purchased in '04, is currently on the market. Even accounting for the financial crisis of '08 and '09, there isn't much support for the notion that the Jersey City real estate market has been "volatile." Moreover, when you consider the incredible amount of capital investment infused in just the last few years alone, you'd be foolish not to be bullish on Jersey City real estate. Granted, you are correct in so much as no one knows with one hundred percent certainty as to what may befall the economy. But, the OP was worried and in the interest of allaying unwarranted fear, a bullish call was made.

One step further, I predict a doubling of market value over the next five to seven years for downtown Jersey City. It is essentially part of Manhattan now. Please tell me you live downtown because if you don't, you haven't a clue.
