Couple’s ‘last hurrah’ bash at foreclosed Hamptons house
A couple that has lived at a multimillion-dollar East Hampton mansion since it was foreclosed on in May 2014 were finally given the boot on Thursday — but not before getting in one last free summer of fun.
“They partied here all summer,” a source said of David and Gia Walsh, who had been staying at the 80 Further Lane home even after it was sold to the mortgage lender for $8 million at auction in April. “It’s $300,000 to $500,000 to rent for the summer. They got a free summer out of it.”
…
The couple, whose primary residence is in Bronxville, even threw a “huge” party, the source added. But it was their last hurrah in the lavish home after receiving an eviction notice in mid-August.On Thursday, a sheriff showed up to the beachfront property with a moving company, which chucked everything the couple left behind to the curb — including three 50-inch flat-screen TVs, a pool table and disassembled treadmills.
Their belongings were taken to the town dump, where they have 24 hours to claim them.
David Walsh, who is president and CEO of a networking and software company, and Gia Walsh, a small-time movie producer, bought the 8,000-square-foot home for $2.7 million in 1999.

Hey btw the way. What is the going rate now on real estate commission? Lets say a good house to sell 800K listing.
Twitter continues to amaze me with it’s ability for ongoing conditioning of the feeble minded. No wonder the media and politicians love it. Just drop in a few clichés no matter how incoherent and morons eat the stuff up.
There’s a not-so-interesting debate over the renaming of a school in Montclair. Though, probably much more brave than Yogi Berra, Buzz Aldrin was born and raised in Montclair. He was a military hero too. Well, word got out that he’s a climate change denier so there’s a big push not to honor him.

That was going to happen anyway. Did not a number of Billionaire Businessman say Americans are over paid. You can Google it. Greenspan is one of them.
If they get their way, they will pay less than the 3rd world salary. Why do you think Koch Brothers spend Millions lobbying. I guess they are winning. You need to go underground to get paid $7 an hour,if you are unemployed. That is if the business is brave enough to hire them.

Just curious. Have I just had a recent string of bad luck, or are there more accidents than ever on our highways. It appears everyday I get caught in one when commuting home or to work. It has not been unusual for it to take me 60 minutes to get from Union to Glen Ridge at 3pm. Is it the proliferation of smart phones? I am this close to mounting an old iPad mini with banner running in my rear window that scrolls, “Get the fcuk off the internet when I’m driving.”

New Jersey to seize beach property in ‘selfish’ town of Margate
Making good on a long-delayed threat that was reiterated last week by Gov. Chris Christie, New Jersey went to court Thursday to seize 87 publicly owned beach parcels to be used for a protective dune system that a South Jersey shore town and its residents bitterly oppose.
The state attorney general’s office and the Department of Environmental Protection acted less than a week after Christie called Margate “among the most selfish people in the state of New Jersey” for refusing to allow the dunes to be built.
The town, just south of Atlantic City, says its wooden bulkheads are sufficient to protect against ocean flooding, and that most of the damage from Superstorm Sandy in 2012 came from the bay on the other side of town.
In order for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ dune project to begin, 10 private lots still need to be acquired in Margate, which are not part of Thursday’s court action.

There is indeed humor in truth. It’s the age of the glass-touching, muppet generation.
Back in the day, I was going to try to build a device to try to plug into my cigarette lighter. It was going to be a microphone radio that broadcasted a signal at every FM frequency. I was going to be able to scream at anyone driving through their FM radio if it worked. Would have totally been an FCC violation but I thought it would have been the coolest invention ever.
Ben…My old 200-in-1 Radio Shack kit used to let us build a small radio broadcast station. Of course, it only broadcast out to one frequency. I used to stay up late chatting with the kid across the street from me who did the same. Until, of course, all of the neighbors found out that we were responsible for ruining their TV sound. Apparently, sound on TVs were broadcast just off the FM dial as well.
In order for your idea to work today, you would probably have to jam their Bluetooth or Sirius XM broadcast.

30-year mortgage falls below 4%, and lots of borrowers take advantage
Mortgage rates fell this week following the release of a disappointing jobs report. U.S. employers added 142,000 jobs in September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The rate was much lower than the 200,000 that analysts expected.
On the other hand, yields on government bonds have been gradually increasing after falling last week, as investors decided to take on more risk in the stock market, MarketWatch reports. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is up from about 1.92% on Oct. 2 to around 2.07% Wednesday afternoon.
“I think the stock market’s rallying on the idea that the (Federal Reserve) may be on hold longer or be more accommodative longer,” says Michael Becker, branch manager for Sierra Pacific Mortgage in White Marsh, Maryland. Usually, when stocks rally, bonds sell off, Becker adds.

24 – I don’t get it…
“Now that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal has been finalized, the Obama administration is telling anyone who will listen that it has the strongest protections for workers of any trade agreement in history. But nothing we know now about the TPP gives me any confidence that workers will end up with the good jobs and protections they deserve.
There’s been a lot of talk about winners and losers in various aspects of this deal. Spoiler alert: Corporations seem to win at every turn at the expense of working people. As my friend Steelworker President Leo Gerard said, “TPP may be the final blow to manufacturing in America. Our producers and workers are under siege from other nations’ massive overproduction, foreign currency devaluation, our own lack of long-term infrastructure investment and the strong dollar.”
Consider the following:
1. Omitting currency rules from TPP will undermine all of its touted market-opening benefits. Currency manipulation has already caused thousands of U.S. factories to close and millions of workers to lose their jobs. A TPP without currency rules turns a mighty river of offshoring into a tsunami.
2. The inclusion of corporate courts (for investor-to-state dispute settlement) is a win for global business. Giant firms who use the U.S. as a flag of convenience but produce little here can now invest in Australia, Japan and Malaysia, then sue over laws and regulations they don’t like. They will be able to collect billions from taxpayers to compensate for lost profits.
3. It could hurt U.S. automakers. Japanese auto manufacturers are thrilled with the new rules because TPP will reduce U.S. tariffs on cars and trucks Japan sends to the U.S. Those cars may have a Japanese name on the outside, but everything that actually makes it a working car could be Chinese. I don’t know how U.S. Trade Representative Mike Froman can look at any auto supply chain worker in the U.S. (or Canada or Mexico for that matter) and tell them with a straight face that TPP is a good deal.
4. It’s unclear whether the labor provisions will benefit workers. While there may be some small improvements to the labor chapter, we have first-hand experience that rules are worthless without enforcement. Until we see the actual text, we won’t know how much these promises live up to their hype.
Sadly, terrible trade deals have affected working people for the past four decades. Based on past performance, those who believe the same old promises will suffer, while those who wish to abuse and exploit workers with little pushback from governments will profit.”
The trans Pacific partnership effectively makes corporations our new government. But without the social obligation that governments are supposed to fill for their citizens. That means the government will now engage in its new duty to maximize corporate profits. No matter how much it costs the American taxpayer to sustain our new government. Welcome to fascism, America.

Why should we export oil and import it all over again? How does this lower the price? We still import oil with all the excess we have domestically.

41- If the market is so efficient under the current economic model, why would they be acting in this way? Exporting oil and at the same time, importing oil. Makes as much sense as bottling water and shipping it across the globe. What a waste of resources.
What a great economic model, so efficient with our limited resources. That’s the problem with this economic model, money is not the driver of efficiency, it actually causes inefficiencies. People will waste our limited resources, because the profit(the ripoff) is so good, they will do idiotic things like waste resources shipping water around the globe. How they can profit on such waste, says all you need to know about the system. You shouldn’t be able to profit on waste, but here they are profiting on a complete waste of resources.
#40..the oil companies can make more money that way. duh. Also, there is something to the different types of crude that we can refine vs what we would be exporting. Our refineries pretty much lock us into a certain type of crude that we import.
43 – you sure about that? As far as I know, they refine Baaken shale oil right here in Linden. They can’t bring the trains in fast enough and they want to build a pipeline through NY and NJ too.
Yes, bs excuses they use to rip you off.
“Also, there is something to the different types of crude that we can refine vs what we would be exporting. Our refineries pretty much lock us into a certain type of crude that we impor”
It was illegal to export domestic oil for a long time. I think this happened after the oil shortages that occurred because of OPEC in the 70’s.
Only recently (maybe this year?) could we start selling domestic oil to other countries….and I think it’s only Mexico right now. The situation we’re in is because of market manipulation…not free markets.

If we start exporting oil WTI will be running same price as Brent Crude. Today
WTI has more than $2 spread against Brent. Remember when the spread was almost $25? How can prices be lower when you are giving up margin? Yes we export refined gas but we still buy it cheaper from domestic so we pay lower for refined. You tell me we buy oil at the price of brent and we get the price of refined wti at the pump? bs

Can’t make money on storing oil. Once it is pumped from the ground whether liquid, shale or tar sands the clock starts ticking.
49 – They are manipulating markets. The US needs oil, and domestic production is good for the US. If domestic producers produce too much oil…many will go out of business because they cannot produce oil at profitable prices. So, government gave them a bigger market….and allows exports. That keeps more domestic producers in business so we can produce more oil….keeping domestic oil prices relatively low. (or so the theory goes)
It’s a balancing act.
Trust your government…they are taking care of you yome…
I am sure of nothing..but from Aspen Institute:
The reason for allowing exports is primarily that not all oil is the same. Most of the increased production in recent years has been in the form of lighter (“sweet”) crude oil. Unfortunately, this type of oil is not well-suited for U.S. refineries. U.S. refiners have invested over $85 billion in the last 25 years to reconfigure their plants so that they can efficiently process heavier crude oil slates because this oil sells at a discount and has been increasingly available to U.S. refineries. Much of this heavy oil originates in Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela. These refineries can process lighter slates of crude oil, but given the way they have been configured, their efficiency, in terms of the yields of petroleum products like kerosene, light diesel oil, heating oil, and heavy diesel oil would fall.6

53
the US produce 9.3 million barrels per day most of it refined and consumed in the US. We are a net exporter so the link dont make sense today.
54 Net exporter of refined gas
We make more money exporting our light sweet crude and importing heavy sour since our refineries are set for heavy sour, makes some sense to me…

“If you attended a Bernie Sanders rally this summer, when his seemingly quixotic Presidential campaign began gathering force, you might have noticed a few surprising things about the crowd. One was the scarcity of nonwhite faces—a problem that the campaign would soon be confronted by, very publicly. Another was how many young people were turning out to see an irascible seventy-four-year-old senator from Vermont. But that’s a little like being surprised that some millennials appreciate Neil Young or Joni Mitchell at a time when it’s easy to find songs from different decades in a promiscuous jumble online. Young people who like Bernie Sanders like him because he sounds like an old record. He’s been talking about the injustices done to working people by unequal income distribution for more than forty years. His voice, often hoarse from his habitually loud and impassioned speeches, even has the crackle of worn vinyl.”
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/10/12/the-populist-prophet?
“At the Portland rally, I met a group of five friends who were drawn to Sanders because of his commitment to banish money from politics: he has sharply criticized the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision, in Citizens United, to permit unlimited campaign spending by corporations, and has lamented the outsize influence exerted by billionaires. Several of the friends praised Sanders’s pledge to raise the federal minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour. One member of the group, Erin Kiley, a millennial who owns Portland Flea-for-All, a marketplace of vintage and artisanal goods, said that she developed “a huge political crush on Bernie” in 2010, after Sanders delivered an eight-and-a-half-hour speech on the Senate floor to protest the extension of tax cuts instituted during the Presidency of George W. Bush. Sanders’s gruffness, didacticism, and indifference to appearances—both he and his wife, Jane, told me how much he loathes shopping—are central to his appeal. All the friends described Sanders as “authentic,” a word that many people would be hesitant to apply to Hillary Clinton. Kiley acknowledged that Sanders’s unvarnished qualities might turn off some voters, but noted that in the current election cycle “the whole spectrum of candidates is less schmoozy, polished, and warm.” She went on, “Everyone seems a little off the wall. Howard Dean was thrown off the national stage for being angry. But people like Trump because he’s an asshole and says whatever he wants.” Kiley’s friend Dawn York, who runs a vintage-clothing shop, said, “Most candidates are robotic and rehearsed.” She saw “a real person in Bernie.””

Sounds like some of you, esp the last paragraph. I’ve been trying to get you to see the light to no avail.
“Sanders has been known as a democratic social!st for decades. This didn’t matter much to Kiley or York, or to most other Sanders supporters I met during the next few weeks; mainly, they were impressed that he hadn’t shed the term. York thought that, because of Sanders and his “social-media-driven fans,” social!sm was “getting a bit of a P.R. makeover.” She noted that sites like Reddit and Twitter were circulating videos of “Bernie explaining why he identifies as a social!st, and what it means to him, in a really positive light.” She added, “The word had a retro connection to Commun!sm and was originally thrown at him as a damning label by his opponents. But for his supporters it isn’t a deterrent.”
A 2011 Pew Research Center survey found that, among voters under the age of thirty, forty-nine per cent had a positive view of social!sm. (Only forty-six per cent had a positive view of capitalism.) Peter Dreier, a professor of politics at Occidental College, who has written about Sanders, says that younger voters “may not be willing to entertain a whole new system, but they are open to a pretty profound critique of the current one. They’re not as naïve as Americans used to be during the Cold War—they know that there are varieties of capitalism, that there is soc!al democracy in Scandinavia and Canada, where the government plays a bigger role in regulating corporations and in expanding the safety net.”
At a recent San Francisco gathering for Sanders, I met Derek Zender, a twenty-three-year-old marketing student. He told me that his parents, who live in Orange County, dismissed Sanders as “a decrepit old social!st who means well but doesn’t understand how the world works.” Zender thought they were overlooking the fact that “many American institutions—Soc!al Security, unions, Medicare, the postal service—have elements of social!sm.””
Preach!
“In Portland, Sanders took the stage, a little hunched in a gray suit jacket. His flyaway white hair was largely subdued, but his face turned pink with exertion as he delivered an hour-long speech, during which he did not use a teleprompter and barely consulted a sheaf of loose yellow papers on the lectern. “America today is the wealthiest country in the history of the world,” he declared. “But most people don’t know that, most people don’t feel that, most people don’t see that—because almost all of the wealth rests in the hands of a tiny few.” Sanders signals his moral ferocity by choosing words like “horrific” and “abysmal” and sonically italicizing them, as in “This grotesque level of income and wealth inequality is immoral.” He was born in Brooklyn, and his unreconstructed borough growl reminds voters that he stands apart from the “oligarchy.””
How can he lose with this message? He is truly for the people. BERNIE!
“Most of his policy proposals have to do with helping working people and reducing the influence of the wealthy. He would like to break up the big banks, create jobs by rebuilding infrastructure, and move toward public funding of elections—and provide free tuition at public universities. (This program would be subsidized, in part, by a tax on Wall Street speculation.) He wants to end the “international embarrassment of being the only major country on Earth which does not guarantee workers paid medical and family leave.” In the speeches I heard, Sanders rarely discussed foreign policy, though he spoke with conviction about climate change and the need for the U.S. to set an example for Russia, India, and China by using fewer fossil fuels. He tends to sound both doleful and optimistic, like a doctor who has a grave diagnosis to deliver—and no time for small talk—but is convinced that he can help his patient heal.
Huck Gutman, one of Sanders’s close friends, is an English professor at the University of Vermont; from 2008 to 2012, he served as Sanders’s chief of staff in the Senate. “It doesn’t matter what issue comes up—Bernie understands that the fundamental issue for Americans is economic,” Gutman said. “His record on abortion, on gay marriage, on a great number of things has been very good and very liberal, but he never sees those as the central issues. The central issue is: Are people doing O.K., or are a small number of people ripping them off?””

“Sanders’s congressional career did not get off to a promising start. As an Independent, he had a hard time landing committee assignments. Garrison Nelson recalls, “Bernie shows up in Washington in 1991, there’s still a chunk of Southerners in the Democratic caucus, and they do not want Bernie in the caucus.” Sanders didn’t help matters by giving more than one interview denouncing Congress. “This place is not working,” he told the Associated Press. “It is failing. Change is not going to take place until many hundreds of these people are thrown out of their offices.” He went on, “Congress does not have the courage to stand up to the powerful interests. I have the freedom to speak my mind.””
“Nelson told me that, when he ran into Sanders in Burlington, he warned him not to keep “pissing in the soup,” adding, “You’re our only representative!” According to Nelson, Sanders said, “Gary, you have no idea how totally corrupt it is.” Nelson responded, “Bernie, I’m a historian of Congress. Give me a year, I’ll give you a scandal.”
I like Bernie Plumps. But even if he got elected, nothing is going to change. The pay to play model is not going away.
Who turned on the monsoon?
Bernie is the perfect candidate for losers. His message is that nothing is your own fault, and he via the government will take care of you, and your inability to succeed on your own two feet. All to be paid for by the evil 1% who will be held upside down to shake the dollar bills out of their pockets (i.e. their assets will be nationalized).
Sanders can’t even control his own stage while giving a speech, and has no hope of controlling anything larger than that stage.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/08/bernie-sanders-leaves-seattle-stage-after-event-disrupted-by-black-lives-matter-protesters/
Sanders has never held a meaningful job, has certainly never created any jobs, does not know how to manage, and is not an executive. The people have had more than enough inexperience from the “community organizer” sitting in the White House.

I’ve thought for a while that any serious candidate that dares to get up and yell that the emperor has no clothes would run away with an election. Lay it out, no bs, “we’ve been giving it to you without lube for years!”
