From the Star Ledger:
Snooki’s and JWoww’s Jersey City ‘Guidette Barbie house’ for sale
Jersey City’s very own south Jersey Barbie dream house is now on the market.
The one-time home of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jenni “JWoww” Farley near Van Vorst Park is on the auction block in Jersey City for $2.5 million, according to trulia.com.
The two reality-television stars lived in the firehouse-turned “guidette Barbie house,” located at 38 Mercer St., for five weeks in March 2012 during the filming of their spinoff show, “Snooki and JWoww.”
The “Jersey Shore” duo were repeatedly spotted hauling animal printed curtains, chairs and other items back to their home during their stint there.
“It’s very big, just think of a guidette Barbie house, that’s what it looks like,” Snooki told Us Weekly at the time.
The two-story, brick building which still retains its large firehouse garage door in front, is located around the corner from city hall. The home, a 4,700-square foot duplex with three bedrooms, boasts 12-foot tin ceilings and walls, the original firehouse spiral staircase and two-car garage, according to trulia.com.
Good Morning New Jersey
Urban living is now officially uncool, from the Record:
North Jersey empty-nesters move downtown
Since she moved from a single-family home to an apartment in downtown Englewood, Linda Kourakos has been able to spend less time in the car and more time on foot.
“You walk out the door, you have shops and restaurants, you have the Bergen Performing Arts Center,” said Kourakos, 62, a retired interior designer who moved from East Brunswick to be closer to her daughters in Bergen County. “I felt if I was downsizing, it would be nice not to have to get into a car all the time.”
Her neighbor, Andrea Diamond, also moved from a single-family house to the Towne Centre apartments in Englewood.
“You can walk to everything, the supermarket, the post office, the library, restaurants,” said Diamond, 65, who has children and grandchildren nearby.
As Diamond and Kourakos found, a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle can be a good fit for people who want to drive less (or not at all) as they age. And North Jersey was highlighted in a recent report by New Jersey Future for having towns that can work for seniors because they offer walkable neighborhoods, downtown shopping areas and good access to public transportation.
But there’s one problem: Seniors often want smaller, low-maintenance rentals or condos, and there’s not enough of this type of housing in North Jersey, even in towns that are otherwise a good match for aging residents, according to the New Jersey Future report, “Creating Places to Age in New Jersey.”
“Plenty of towns in Bergen and Passaic counties with traditional downtowns and walkable neighborhoods have relatively short supplies of the smaller homes and apartments that are more suitable for older residents,” the report said. “Many municipalities will need to create more aging-friendly housing options.”
The joint that Snooki and JWoww stayed in JC has been on and off the market for years. Owners are smoking crack at that ask.

Plenty of hotels nearby for guests to stay.
Only bathroom/sleeping facilities need to be made, aka interior walls, easy enough to do.

“so it’s baffling that right-wingers insist in sending their kids there”
Their kids are usually smart enough to know when they are being subjected to programming and propaganda. They ignore it.
The smart ones keep their heads down, parrot back the PCBS to get good grades, then go out and get into Ivy grad schools that, with the exception of a few law schools, are not bastions of liberal groupthink.
Heck, it isn’t just Ivies. I was subjected to the leftist BS but I simply told them what they wanted to hear, got good grades, and went on my merry way.
Or is that too obtuse?
In 2012, “96 percent of all campaign contributions from Ivy League faculty and employees went to Barack Obama.”
A liberal arts education is NOW an education in the art of liberalism.
[19] redux
Consider also that the classrooms that teach the PCBS courses would be empty but for the fact that universities, in their belief that students should be exposed to subjects outside their areas of interest require that these courses be attended.
Finally, the sort of person who is going to waste mommy and daddy’s money on a major in Scandinavian LGBT Literature isn’t bright enough to see through the B.S. There’s a reason these people can’t find jobs in their majors, except by going back to universities and teaching the PCBS courses.
Essentially, requirements that students take courses in these areas are really jobs projects for people who would be woefully underemployed but for the programs. It’s just like government make-work.
[20] juice
“96 percent of all campaign contributions from Ivy League faculty and employees went to Barack Obama.”
For the same reasons that 90+ percent of the black vote went for Obama, and a huge majority of the government workers voted for Obama. Its in their self-interest.
And what would the indoctrination ratio be in NJ public grade and high schools? Very high I suspect.
I had another shop rite high schooler this weekend who was unable to make change in her head. Great reasons to do everything you can to send your kid private.
If you look at major endowments from wealthy alums, they usually go to build a business school or engineering building. Few wealthy alums fund a Women’s Studies chair although I suppose it happens from time to time.
I would LOVE to see a billionaire offer to donate a substantial sum to his or her alma mater with the proviso that the school has to axe one of its B.S. programs.
The fury would be epic–I’d get the popcorn, fruity drinks, and a nice comfy chair so I can watch.
[23] nwnj
When you have video of children learning songs praising Obama, that’s all you need to know.
I know of no other examples in modern history where children were taught songs lionizing a single president.
But I don’t fear that, or the shoprite example. The same right wingers that send their kids to Ivies have either sent their kids to private schools or sent them to supplemental learning centers/tutors/additional homeschooling, etc.
I think you will find that the children who are coming out of schools dumber than a bag of hammers are also the ones that are most susceptible to the liberal brainwashing.
From MarketWatch:
Pending U.S. home sales decline slightly in June
Pending home sales fell 1.1% June to mark the first decline in four months, according to an industry trade group. The National Association of Realtors said its pending sales index dropped to 102.7 in June from a revised 103.8 in May. The number 100 is considered an average pace of sales. Still, the index was 7.3% below the year-ago level of 110.8, showing that sales of U.S. homes continue to face headwinds such as higher interest rates, difficulty obtaining mortgages and stagnant wages of prospective buyers. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, predicts that sales are likely to increase modestly in the second half of 2014 as home prices level off and more properties go on sale. By region, pending home sales rose 1.1% in the Midwest and 0.2% in the West, but they fell 2.9% in the Northeast and 2.4% in the South. A sale is listed as pending when the contract has been signed but the transaction has not closed. Not all contracts lead to closings

As a father who put through two kids in the Ivies and one still in a NESCAC school, I have to admit that liberalism, radical type for the most part, is definitely there. My daughter (the NESCAC one) spent time with me this weekend determining how her fall schedule was to be filled after the mandatories. The choice of studies were horrendous. Each discipline, including geography had a ‘social justice’ bent to it. The courses that had no particular political mission were the first ones filled to capacity. We were beside ourselves trying to find something acceptable that she would actually benefit from once she graduated. The lack of courses catering to those that wanted to find practical jobs in life were minimal. It seems as if the Board of Trustees wants to go this way as if they have one big guilt complex. My daughter says that many kids do see through the propaganda, but a substantial number of students and parents just go along with it.
This is for a school that has an student’s average family income of $165000.

That’s because the kid has been using calculators her whole life. You are sadly mistaken if you think sending your kid to private school will change that. In fact, in New Jersey, the math teachers in private school are the worst. Why? Private schools pay 30k a year. They don’t teach math and science at all in private school. It’s a joke.

Ben,
Were you the one who heard some Pingry horror stories, re teaching quality?
BTW,
Based on my visits, Pingry does as much or more indoctrination than public schools.
They wanted me to sign a form that said I agreed with and would support their green+ noblesse oblige philosophy. Teaching kids early how to be hypocrites pretending to love rainforests and Tanzanian children while running a campaign for office (in an ivy league school). Public school tries to promote the same agenda, but at least there the hours per semester requirement is mostly optional rather than required.

It really is not that surprising. Humans are animals. The smarter of us think for ourselves and can see marketing for what it is. I figured it out at a pretty young age when I chose not to dress in designer labels in junior high/high school. I can thank my parents for instilling this knowledge in me. Now that does not mean I am cheap. I will buy decent shoes (that can be resoled), quality appliances, really anything that will last, even if it expensive. Heck, I used to even purchase Co@ch belts back when Co@ch cared about quality.
I remember when my dad purchased an Audi growing up. It was when Audi was going through their issues with involuntary acceleration issues and a whole slew of other electrical issues. This Audi was such a POS. I recall my dad cursing it daily and regretting the decision to purchase it over and over again. When the horn started going off every time he took a sharp left turn, he traded it in for peanuts.
re # 35- Christian propaganda? How about “religious propaganda” comrade. They all do it.
I was going to say the same thing. Whoever made that comment is probably old and has lost touch with how the young generation learns today. Just because they can’t do simple math on top of their head, doesn’t mean they are stupid. In the 1960’s, that statement would be right, in 2o14 it is totally wrong due to “technology”. I’m sure spelling has gone out the door too due to technology.

If Trulia and Zillow haven’t killed the Realtors already, they never will.
Look, it’s easy to take MLS data and present it to buyers, but what about getting the listing?
Until these guys can attract listings in mass, they are simply rebroadcasting third-party data. The business models are all geared towards attracting buyers through new channels and pairing them with agents. This ain’t a game changer.
From a monetization perspective, all about selling the service to Realtors and ancillary service providers. Kill the Realtors and MLS, and they kill their cashflow.
re: “Teaching kids early how to be hypocrites.”
No need really it is ingrained now in everything we do.
I read somewhere that American kids today get upwards of 11 hours a day of screen time between TV, computers, video games, tablets and smartphones. I am pretty sure they are all going to be damm good hypocrites when it comes to being green and lets not even mention the labor that went into making those devices. There is no social justice when it comes to our electronic devices made by workers in far away places.
I’ll take my iPhone with a good amount of old fashioned East Asian human suffering, OK!
(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says the United States must look to Qatar, an ally of the terrorist group Hamas, for advice in resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
“And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization,” she told CNN’s “State of the Union” with Candy Crowley.
As CNSNews.com reported last week, Qatar is a strong supporter and funder of Hamas. Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal operates from Qatar, and has so far rejected ceasefire proposals put forward by Egypt and promoted by Secretary of State John Kerry.
The U.S government designated Hamas as a “foreign terrorist organization” in 1997. Its founding charter calls for Jews to be killed and says all Muslims are duty-bound to join a jihad to destroy Israel.
In an interview aired on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday, Hamas leader Meshaal said Hamas does not fight the Jews just because they are Jews. “We fight the occupiers,” he said. As if he wants to recognize Israel as a Jewish state?, Meshaal said “No.”
“War is a deadly thing,” Pelosi said on Sunday, speaking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“And I have many Palestinians who live in my district, and I am hearing them regularly about how their families are affected who live in the region. It’s a terrible thing. But let me just say that any missile that comes from someplace has a return address. And if Israel is responding to that address, then that’s a shame that the Palestinians are …rumored to be using children and families as shields for their missiles.”
Pelosi said the first thing to do is to “avoid conflict” that “Hamas initiated.”
“[T]his has to be something where we try to have the two-state solution, that we have to support…(Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud) Abbas and his role as a leader there. We have to support Iron Dome to protect the Israelis from the missiles. We have to support the Palestinians and what they need. And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization, maybe they could use their influence

I agree with the philosophy wrt critical thinking, but when the internet was popularizing, one of the mantras was for empowerment of the small voice vs the mass media.
But now that all dopes like anon have joined the cyberworld, the mass media have adapted to their tactics to the web and social media. So as far as the online tools empowering the little guy and reducing the influence of mass media, that theory is dead and buried. The internet has become the 21st centery b00b tube.

The only avenue is to charge either buyers and sellers, which sounds awfully similar to the current model.
And this doesn’t even get into issues of state licensure to act in this manner. Plenty of discount brokers have already went belly up trying to do this.

There is nothing really new in this tax piece but something that the author said, and perhaps didn’t even realize the implications, piqued my interest.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/101867628
The idea that the spate of inversion transactions now as evidence that US corporations were looking for tax reform and, seeing that it wasn’t forthcoming, decided to create their own is, itself, an intriguing notion. It suggests that corporate leaders had given up on the idea that the USG would do anything to help them compete.
But to me, it has a darker portend. Corporate leaders are paid to take a longer view and try to position their companies for the future, and the rush for the exits, both by corporations and individuals, suggest that these people, who must be acknowledged as wealthy, smart, connected, informed, etc., have taken a long look down the road and don’t like what they see. And I think what they see is that the anons of the world will gain ground and make the reflexive grab for accumulated capital rather than foster conditions for its continued growth. Why learn to fish when you can simply take the other guy’s fish?
The wealthy can see that they won’t win a true class war since the have-nots control the votes. And since no one wants to live in the next Venezuela, the “plutocrats”, as anon would call them, are getting out of Dodge, lock, stock and barrel.
I remember when my Realtor TM tried to pitch me his companies services in the Mortgage market, prequaifications, fast approvals bla bla bla. I basically told him that if he spoke another word about me and my finances that I was getting up and leaving. Realtors however apparently are still ” The most influential people in the mortgage business”. It cost several times the $$$ to advertise in print or web 2.0 media to get business over a referral. That old marketing adage has not changed all that much in the mortgage business yet, referrals are still everything and hence the Realtor and their referrals.
Not sure what evidence you’re seeing to justify this statement.

65. Joyce,
I understand what Nom is saying, it makes sense if that is your job title.
Speaking of pitching services, a long time reader here and member of my investment club recently went to Carl Nielson (the dude I always recommend as I used him 6 times) for a mortgage on his first home. He was super happy and Carl matched an internet quote from a questionable internet originator even though he was convinced it was a bait and switch. I don’t know the details of the loan, but I know they expedited the closing to a week and Carl was able to do it and at an 1/8 lower than anyone else.
Full disclaimer: Occasionally Carl sends me Devils tickets. Though I’d still shill for him if he didn’t. Though not everyone I referred to him was happy. Probably, because he works on quantity and not quality. He is not a hand-holder. Know what you want, bring him the best numbers you can find online and that’s it. And tell him Stu sent you. I want to keep those tickets coming.
67. To a corporation, the USA is a nothing more than a vessel.
Shareholders/corporation have no national pride. They don’t wave flags.
They don’t have ethics or morals, yet in the eyes of the law are considered “beings” with rights and benefits.
As such, they are like lightning– they look for the path of least resistance and could care less about what damage/good they do. They can justify either.. at least to themselves anyway.
Public relations are just like Carlin would say, bull.
They will strip the land bare if allowed.
If not allowed they will find other land to strip.
In the USA, most of the things we need we have already.
The majority of other things are just wants.
People here should focus on the needs, and let the “wants” corporations fly away to wherever they would like.
Then tariff them so bad they wished they never left.
They can’t sell most of their crap to anyone else in the world, cause no one else has the ability to go into debt as much as the American overleveraged marketingbrainwashed consumer.

B. Not listing the first 10 years of professional experience.
C. Stating “Over 20 years of professional experience”, when they have over 30.

Didn’t someone post the DJ Bebo page and he had relocated to the Boogie Down?

Bebo’s pad in JC, which sold in 2005, was renovated and the taxes went from $4020 to $10,066. This really could be Bebo!
Stu: off my desk tomorrow…will forward Wednesday….a new age driller and new age Cisco….the original ping was for the former, but now I am leaning toward the latter……
No promises or guarantees. Sltd. Sorry for the late post. My daughters first birthday today. Took her down to point pleasant for the afternoon. Great day with my family and this stock ripping for 40% today was just icing on the cake. It’s a true penny stock, but it is pulling a profit for the year, and sales jumped 600% from the first qt to the second. Be careful though, in case there is pullback tomorrow after such a large gain. But stock looks like it’s going to rip.

Were you the one who heard some Pingry horror stories, re teaching quality?
Pingry, Delbarton, Rutgers Prep… doesn’t matter which one. They all suck math and science wise. People seem to think privatization always results in better quality. Private schools pay their teachers 30 to 40k max. They’ll even try to start out the younger ones at 25k. You get some really really crappy teachers at that rate. We clean up tutoring because these kids need to score well on their SATs and AP exams. It’s pretty common for all of these kids to have about 4 tutors a year which costs their parents an extra 16k on top of tuition.
This is in contrast to pay day loan Do make sure to pay .
Hmmm for some reason only half the post can be seen. I tried reloading but still same.
