I just checked additional weather stations.. basically strong tropical storm / Cat - 1 sustained winds.

I am wondering if this is another Irene... super-hyped storm that suddenly falls apart as it approaches shore... turning into a major rain event rather than wind / storm surge.

Seems to have all been triggered by a fight on a train. Seems a bit excessive on the force front.

The Euro model has the storm going far enough out that it will only impact eastern Long Island with any significance.

It is way too early to predict its path with any certainty.

Let's give the fear-mongering a rest for a few days, shall we?

MDM -- what are the odds and what is the time frame we are looking at -- I like having advance notice.

No one can give you accurate numbers. Seriously. It's too early.

Just watch the news in a few days.

It was actually really easy once you succumb to spending the money. I went with Pella and they did everything. Told me the correct windows, filed the paperwork with Dan, installed them and even repaired the rotted frames.
At first I was really upset about it, they were SO much more expensive than the vinyl ones I used on the non street facing windows, but now that's it done they look SO nice. The quality really is so much nicer.

If you live in a condo just make sure your association is aware that EVERYONE must replace their windows with the same thing.

I stand by my comments. I believe that Dixon should be held to a consistently high level of responsibility and accountability wherever it invests, not just within a couple of blocks of the PATH. I would expect the same of Americans investing in Australia.

I sympathize with the inclination toward higher or lower expectations for a property owner depending on the perception of their wealth. But ownership standards are not determined by the bankroll of the owner.

Standards are the same for homeowners regardless of their economic status and it should be that way. Otherwise they would be impossible to enforce.

If neighbors accepted the conditions of a property prior to the acquisition by new owners, it seems a bit capricious to attack the new ownership for the same previously accepted conditions. Had they created the conditions about which there are now complaints, that would be a different story. But that's not what is being said here.

There is a place for how we as neighbors act based on who owns a property. For example, if a large corporation was not shoveling its sidewalks, I might be inclined to report them. If the senior citizen next door was not shoveling her sidewalks, I would just shovel it for her.

At the same time, if any homeowner is causing a nuisance or is in violation of the law or housing codes, neighbors should feel free to address the owner directly and if unsatisfied, report them to the appropriate authorities.

Hi all -

As it relates to the speed humps that have gone in, I have gotten many complaints about how high they are and questioning if they are in accordance with best practices. I reported those findings to the administration and they have told me the issues will be resolved.

Best,
Candice

It seems that over the last year the helicopter traffic has stepped up considerably flying west from NYC. It appears that Route 1-9/78 is the new route for choppers headed to Newark. Many of the choppers are barely 600-1,000 feet in altitude. Though annoying I really don't notice the choppers until there are news choppers hovering above the neighborhood.

He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2002. That makes him just as American as anyone else.

I don't know any Americans who were born South African, changed to an Canadian citizen, then became a naturalized American-sounds like he's a bit of an opportunist, no? :)
