Thank you for your interest in editing the Waze maps for the State of New Jersey. Please note New Jersey State follows the US national guidance with a few exceptions. Be sure to click on and read every link from this page for in-depth tips, guidance and advice.
All editors should have a real username, not a usa_username and are required to have their private messaging turned on.
Refer to the Glossary for common Waze related terms.
Tip: Editors are strongly encouraged to download & install the Waze Validator Plugin. This tool will identify map errors and offers guidance on how to fix them. Use this to identify issues in areas you are working on but make sure not to be distracted by errors that do not pertain to you.
Mapping resources
Before editing the maps in New Jersey, be sure to fully review and understand the editing manual.
The Waze user community follows the Waze etiquette guidelines discussed in the Wiki. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these guiding principals while editing the maps and this Wiki, as well as when communicating with other Waze users.
Functional Classification
Please review the USA Functional Classification page for details on this topic. In rare cases, a particular road may require a different type than prescribed in the national guidance. Before changing the type of any road past the bounds of the rules, please post the situation to the New Jersey Forum to receive feedback. New Jersey resources can be found in the following links:

New editors should consider checking into the formal mentoring program available at no charge.
Community Roles
In the Self-managed USA the hierarchy of community roles is as follows:
Global Champ → Local Champ → Regional Coordinator → Expert → Country Manager → State Manager → Area Manager
- If you are presently one of the above and an editor in this State, please add yourself to the table listed below .
- If you are an editor looking to become an AM, please add yourself in this table. Keep in mind, the best way to obtain AM status, is by becoming involved in the Waze community.
The greatest resource for editors of any rank is to learn hands on from editors with more experience than themselves. The Mentoring programs are strongly recommended, whether formal or informal.If you have any questions or difficulties with any aspect of editing, feel free to contact any of New Jersey's Waze Champs, Country Managers, State Manager(s), or senior editors list in the table below. You can also contact the Regional Coordinator(s) orbitc (PM)
Cities and towns
One of the most common errors when editing the maps is when an editor creates a road and does not confirm the road by setting the city and road name (or stating it has none).
Duplicate cities can be caused by incorrectly named segments and should be corrected following the guidelines in the duplicate cities article.
|This revision of the page is currently undergoing modifications. The information and guidance is currently considered accurate enough to be followed now. Content is being prepared by one or more users. Do not make any changes before you post a message in this forum.
In NJ there are 565 municipalities, 250 Boroughs, 52 Cities, 15 Towns, 245 Townships and 3 Villages. There are no unincorporated places in the state of NJ. Every segment of every road type should have a City Name in the Primary Field. When naming a segment use the incorporated name or the CDP (Census Designated Place) name when the place is locally known and/or more commonly recognized by that name. Note that the current map shows CDP names from the 2000 Census, please refer to the 2010 Census List to determine the most current information.
Any segment with the name "Greater XX Area" is a mistake and needs to be updated to reflect the accurate place name.
In the event of duplicate city names, consider adding "Twp" if applicable to one of those places.
|Alternate methods of resolving conflicting/duplicate city names is presently under discussion. Please refer to the forum New Jersey Cities and Towns for more information.
Major roads
New Jersey follows the general road naming and road type guidelines of the USA.
Local Naming Guidance
- New Jersey State uses the short format when naming State and County Highways/Routes and their spurs, loops, etc.
- State Routes: SR-##, SR-## X (e.g. SR-70, SR-70 W)
- County Routes: CR-##, CR-## X (e.g. CR-567, CR-567 SPUR)
- Concurrent routes which are signed/shielded with both names, AND commonly referred to using both names together, should use both names separated by a slash (/) as the primary name, and each individual named as an alternate name. (e.g. US-1 / US-9)
- Highway name descriptors, such as TRUCK, EXPRESS, etc. should be added after the name in ALL CAPS. (e.g. US-1 TRUCK, or on a concurrent road US-1 TRUCK / US-9 TRUCK)
- Highways passing through a local area which have a supplementary name for the road on street signs, use the name of the Local Road in the primary field and the numbered one in the alternate field.
Locking Standard
In New Jersey we have a set minimum standard for locking roads based on segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower.
A great time to implement these locks is while bringing the road types of an area into compliance with the current US road type standards (FC and highway systems). Lock the roads based on type after they've been set to current US road type standards.
|Segment Type
|Highest rank of connected segment
|Major Highway
|Minor Highway
|Primary Street
Special roads
Drivable roads
New Jersey follows the standard USA guidelines for all of the following special road types.
- Divided highways and roadways
- Carpool, HOV, Transit lanes
- Roundabouts and traffic circles
- Culs-de-sac
- Dirt roads
- Toll roads
- Partial and scheduled restrictions
- Private installations and military bases
Non-drivable roads
Review the Wiki guidelines for non-drivable roads to ensure compliance with the general guidelines.
Special Road Guidelines
The following special roads are managed slightly uniquely in some states and territories.
|This new section is currently undergoing modifications. The information presented should be considered a draft, not yet ready for use. Content is being prepared by one or more users. Do not make any changes before you post a message in this forum.
Jughandles are commonly associated with New Jersey State and over the years have been referred to as a "NJ Left" or "NJJI". A Jughandle is a procedure at a signed (signaled) intersection, which disallows a Left or a U-Turn and instead uses a right hand "at grade ramp connector" to allow access off the main roadway prior to or after the intersection and a subsequent indirect turn from the connector or cross street. There are 3 kind of Jughandles in this State per the NJ-DOT. They are:
Type A - Forward: The ramps exit on the right hand side and accommodate traffic turning both right and left.
Type B - U-Turn: The ramps allow a safe U-Turn as the driver will exit from the right. Used in absence of an intersection or at a T-Intersection. Commonly used for left turns as well.
Type C - Reverse: The ramps begin downstream of the intersection to the right and create a loop to meet the cross St/traffic signal.
Note: Exit ramps which use local streets to enable this maneuver are NOT considered jughandles.
|The terms RAMPS and AT GRADE CONNECTORS as used above are simply referencing the NJ-DOT and should not be confused with the same terminology in Waze.
Any Jughandle which is unsigned with "Green Signs" aka. BGS/LGS or signed with BGS/LGS which only have the name of the connecting road, should be treated as a standard At Grade Connector. Type: Lowest connecting routable segment. Name: NO name.
Any Jughandle which is signed using BGS which has a more than one name (street, community, POI) or not the direct connecting segment name fall under the exceptions for At Grade Connectors. Type: Ramp. Name: Match signage. In this scenario the "ramp type" will hide the name in the client, so adding any other relevant signage - white, blue, brown (- ie. All turns, U-turn, XXX State Park) is acceptable only after the wording from ALL the BGS is added.)
Parking Lot Roads
This state uses the following national standard guidelines found in the Wiki for Parking Lot Roads.
This state uses the following unique guidelines for mapping alleys.
- Alleys should always be mapped if they have a name.
- Alleys should always be mapped if they are the sole access to a home or business.
- Alleys should always be set to "Parking Lot Road" type.
- Alleys are normally mapped if they are acknowledged by the municipality.
If an alley does not meet the above criteria, mapping is optional. Leave the name field blank.
Note: Be careful adding alleys which will be closer to the destination pins for house numbers, as this can cause navigation to addresses on that block to route onto the alley instead of the main road. It may be better not to map these alleys, or you may have to adjust all the address pins to be closer to the actual roads.
Dirt Roads
This state uses the following national standard guidelines found in the Wiki for Dirt Roads.
Note: In other Regions/Countries, the usage of Dirt Roads-4x4 Trails may vary greatly.
When managing a section of roadway under construction or being closed for a major event, follow the Wiki guidelines on construction zones and Real time closures.
The Federal Highway Administration keeps a website indexing all states that can provide highway and construction project information. Go to the page, find your state, and check the links for the desired information.
New Jersey follows the USA standard for Places. Do not deviate from the guidelines without first obtaining consensus to do so via the state forum linked on this page.
Locking Standard
Places considered fundamental to the functioning of the Waze app, such as Gas Stations, should be locked to Rank 4.
Complex, intricate, or crucial Places such as Hospitals, Police Stations, Fire Departments, Airports, Parks, etc. should be locked at least to Rank 4.
- This is to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of Place Update submissions from Trusted Users, or Place Update Request approvals from other editors without careful examination.
- If you do not have a high enough enough rank to lock the place a Rank 4+, please lock it as high as you can, and consider asking a higher rank AM, SM, CM, or Champ to lock it higher.
Not every camera-looking device at an intersection is a speed or red light camera. Generally speaking:
Be sure to know your cameras before accepting new camera reports.
Currently only the Waze client app can add cameras to the map. When adding a camera from the app, be sure to review the camera placement recommendations.
Laws regarding speed and red light cameras vary between the states and territories, so be sure to understand the details of camera legality in New Jersey.
Based on information researched at the time this page was created, red light and speed cameras are illegal statewide in New Jersey.
No other camera types should be mapped in Waze.
Important: As of 12/16/14 all red light cameras have been turned off and signage has been removed, pending a statewide vote whether to reinstate them. At this time ALL existing cameras in New Jersey State should be deleted and no new cameras should be approved. (Update: 3-30-15)
If you have any comments/questions please refer to this forum thread.
To do list
Many states and territories keep an active list of pending or closed actions that need to be done in the state by the editors. All editors are welcome to contribute to the list of activities.
If you have any additions, updates, corrections, or suggestions for this page, feel free to edit it yourself, post on the state forum, or send a PM to one of the RCs or SMs listed below.
Thank you, and Happy Wazing!
General Maintenance
Primary issues for maintaining the road network
- Remove unneeded junction nodes.
- Disable all U-Turns at junction nodes (when applicable). Do this by pressing 'Q'.
- Remove excess geometry nodes (those which are not changing the geometry of a segment). When the geometry node is very near the end of a segment, double check while zoomed-in to see if the geometry node is actually changing the turn angle.
- Inspect and correct connectivity of necessary junctions.
- Ensure there is no connectivity of non-drivable segments to drivable ones.
- Update all segment "Street Names" in accordance with the guidelines in the Road Names (USA) wiki article, and the New Jersey State specific guidelines.
- Inspect and correct overpasses/underpasses to ensure that the segments are on different levels, and do not have a junction node where they meet.
- Ensure that any roads crossing at the same elevation level have a junction node connecting them.
- Ensure that Update Requests are being handled correctly, courteously and in a timely fashion.
FC Upgrade
- Update the road network "Street Types" to match FC, for more information see FC update info
- Use this Doc to track completion.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. There are many reasons why the Nets look like a whole new team now, including the fact that Brook Lopez is playing like his old self. But it goes beyond that. It goes from the head of the bench, where the coach sits, to the end, where Mirza Teletovic sat most of the early season.
Teletovic came off that bench and gave the Nets a big spark in a 113-106 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night at Barclays Center. The formerly little-used forward from Bosnia hit three key three-pointers when the Nets needed a jump start in the first half, and blocked a shot that ignited a fast break that brought folks out of their seats in the fourth quarter.
He swatted Terrence Ross' short shot, which led to crisp, quick passing finished off with a behind-the-back dish from Deron Williams to Andray Blatche for an ovation-inspiring basket and a 93-78 lead.
"This is our home," Teletovic said. This is not the sort of thing the Nets showed anyone in December.
Nor was a strong, healthy Lopez, who had 22 points, including 10-for-10 at the foul line, and nine rebounds. The Nets clearly are a different team when he is on his aggressive game. "Night and day," said interim coach P.J. Carlesimo, whose team also got 21 points apiece from Joe Johnson and Deron Williams.
Fact is, it is a new day for the whole club, which has won seven in a row, 9 of 10 under Carlesimo and is 15-0 against teams with losing records.
There is much ebb and flow in an NBA season. Consider the Raptors, who were 4-19 (including two losses to the Nets) before their recent 10-4 stretch: "I just think they're playing at a completely different level than the first two times we played them," Carlesimo said. "They're just a different team now."
Raptors coach Dwane Casey, interestingly, saw the Nets exactly the opposite way. He said he does not see a team transformed after the firing of Avery Johnson.
"You see Avery's team," he said. "A lot of the things they are doing are the same things Avery was teaching. P.J. is a good coach, but they're doing a lot of the same things they did with Avery: the same offensive sets, the same defensive principles. It's unfortunate a good coach like Avery had to lose his job, but that's the business we're in."
His point was, the Nets were a good team and are a good team.
"It's a psychological mystery, what happens in those situations," Casey said. "As long as you stick with your principles and do what you think is right, you're going to have a chance in the end."
The Raptors made the most of their chances at the start. They repeatedly drove to the basket and built a 10-point lead. But the Nets tightened up on defense and unleashed one ingredient almost never seen in Johnson's tenure: Teletovic. He was the 11th player used by Carlesimo, and one of the most influential.
Seconds after he entered, he hit a three-pointer from the right corner. It was the Nets' first basket of the second quarter, and occurred 6:19 in. Teletovic added two three-pointers and a free throw as the Nets took a 54-50 lead, adding extra spice that has been the Nets' strong suit lately. "Everybody can score," he said.
The Nets were in such strong command that Lopez was able to take the fourth quarter off. That was something new, too.
"When he and Andray are physical and scoring inside and blocking shots and rebounding," Carlesimo said, "we're a totally different team."

This story was produced in collaboration with <img src="http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/~/media/Images/KHN%20Partners/washingtonpost110.jpg" />
Almost overnight, Florida has gone from being an ardent opponent of the federal health care law to a laboratory for an ambitious experiment under the law.
If state lawmakers back Gov. Rick Scott's plan to expand Medicaid, it will be an experiment with a determinedly free-market twist. Scott's turnabout on the Medicaid expansion came a few hours after the federal government tentatively approved his application to fully privatize the federal-state program for the poor.
That development has put health providers and consumers in a quandary: Most are elated that more than 1 million Floridians are in line to gain health coverage starting next year and that hundreds of millions in federal dollars will flow into the state to cover their medical services. But they're also concerned that that coverage will be delivered through managed care plans with a mixed record of providing quality care in Florida.
Consumer groups worry about whether the health plans will have enough providers, especially in rural areas, and whether they'll approve services in a timely way.
Nursing home operators fear that for-profit insurers may try to move residents into lower-cost settings even when that may be unsafe.
And doctors and hospitals say they're concerned about getting paid on time and about having trouble getting services approved for their patients.
"Hospitals' experience with managed care varies plan to plan in the ability to get patients into the right level of care … and plans paying claims efficiently and in a timely manner," said Bruce Rueben, president of the Florida Hospital Association.
Scott is not the first Republican governor to support the Medicaid expansion, which the Supreme Court made optional for states when it upheld the health care law last June. The governors of Ohio, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota and New Mexico preceded him. But Scott's decision is arguably more significant due to his state's size (19 million people), its large number of uninsured (4 million) — and his outspoken opposition (he refused to acknowledge the law until the Supreme Court upheld its constitutionality.)
Florida's past experiments with managed care
If the Republican-controlled Legislature approves his plan when it meets next month, Florida would also become one of the largest to require virtually all recipients of Medicaid to enroll in private managed care plans which can limit which health providers patients can see.
Other states that have put nearly all their Medicaid recipients in managed care include Arizona, Tennessee, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, according to Joe Moser, interim executive director of Medicaid Health Plans of America, a trade group. "It's a proven model and not a new concept," he said.
About two-thirds of states already use managed care companies as a part of their Medicaid programs. Florida has done so for nearly two decades, with more than a third of its 3 million Medicaid recipients in the private health plans. These HMO-style plans get paid a set amount of money by the state to provide coverage, and the enrollees generally get care only from doctors, hospitals and other providers who have contracts with the plans.
And in five counties, including those in Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville, it has run a pilot program mandating most recipients be in managed care. Originally there were a number of problems, including patients having trouble getting access and patient confusion about the plans. In addition a number of plans dropped out because of fears about losing money.
A 2009 University of Florida study, however, showed the pilot, which did not include those needing long-term-care, helped save the state about $100 million a year without increasing consumer complaints. But the study could not determine whether the savings came from the plans providing less care or being more efficient.
Under the tentative deal approved last week by the administration, virtually all Medicaid recipients would have to enroll in such a plan, including more than 100,000 living in nursing homes and those receiving long-term-care services at home and in community-based settings.
"People have a right to be concerned about quality of managed care because it does not have a strong track record in Florida," said Joan Alker, co-executive director of the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families.
Another example that critics cite is Wellcare Health Plans, Florida's largest Medicaid plan, which last year agreed to pay more than $137.5 million to the federal government and nine states, including Florida, to settle accusations that it bilked government health programs and systematically dumped patients with expensive health needs. The Tampa-based company never lost its state Medicaid contracts.
But Republican lawmakers who control the legislature say they have addressed past shortcomings with better oversight of managed care companies, increased reimbursement for doctors and more stringent penalties, including fining plans up to $500,000 if they drop out.
Scott, a former hospital executive who ran hospital giant HCA, said paying managed care companies fixed fees helps the state budget by making costs more predictable and also can improve care because the state can hold companies accountable. Florida's Medicaid program costs the state $21 billion a year.
The managed care industry says it can improve care and lower costs by making sure patients get preventive services and have care overseen by a primary care doctor.
"We will bring the benefits of coordinated care to all low-income Floridians and give them access to a primary care medical home, comprehensive care management, and disease management programs," Moser said.
Four companies dominate Florida's Medicaid managed care market — Wellcare, Wellpoint, Centene and UnitedHealthcare — which have 75 percent of enrolled recipients. All stand to gain thousands of new customers and millions in additional revenue.
Long-term care is a key challenge
One of the biggest challenges will be moving the elderly and disabled into managed care plans.
Robert Beck, a lobbyist who represents home and community-based long-term-care providers, said the state has few personnel to assist in the enrollment of the 40,000 people needing home and community-based services through Medicaid. He said the state promises to mail information to people getting long-term-care services, but he doubts most will even open the letter. If people don't choose a plan the state will automatically choose one for them.
"Any 85-year-old woman with dementia does not do well applying for Medicaid," Beck said.
Kristen Knapp, spokeswoman for the Florida Health Care Association, which represents nursing homes, said there are also concerns that plans may try to move residents out of institutions even though they need to be there. About 60 percent of Florida's 71,000 nursing home residents are on Medicaid.
"We think there is a very small fraction of people who potentially could be transitioned safely to an alternative setting," she said.
As a condition of its approval, the Obama administration is requiring an independent authority to monitor the transition and also to measure quality-of-care requirements, an agreement that critics of the managed care industry praised.
"We are happy the administration listened to us and put transparency and accountability in place for the managed care plans so care is adequately delivered and people can access the benefits," said Laura Goodhue, executive director of Florida CHAIN, a consumer advocacy group.
Dr. Aaron Elkin, a Hollywood, Fla., obstetrician/gynecologist, said he is thrilled the state will allow Medicaid to expand, but remains wary of the private health plans and "the hoops they make doctors and patients go through."
Elkin, past president of the Broward County Medical Association, said the health plans have improved, but they still need to pay doctors more to get broader participation.
"Our experience has been dismal," he said of providers, "but most patients don't complain because they are getting free care."

Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas is excited about the challenge of facing two of the game's great midfielders against AC Milan tomorrow night.
Fabregas reckons European Player of the Year Kaka is the man the Gunners must stop.
The Spaniard also thinks he needs to shackle AC's Italian midfielder Andrea Pirlo. Fabregas, 20, said: "To beat a team that contains Kaka and Andrea Pirlo would be special for me.
"They are two of the best players in the world. We must pay close attention to them as they can hurt us.
"It's important to cancel them out. If we do this AC have problems."

Hyperthyroidism Directory
Hyperthyroidism results when the thyroid gland, located in the front of the neck, produces too much thyroid hormone. The thyroid controls metabolism, so if it is overactive, it may lead to weight loss, hair loss, a fast heartbeat, sweating, tiredness, shakiness, and moodiness. Graves' disease is the most common type of hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is easily treated, usually with radioactive iodine and antithyroid medicine. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about hyperthyroidism and how it develops, how it is diagnosed and treated, and much more.
Medical Reference
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system, for largely unknown reasons, produces antibodies to parts of the body.

More Comments:
Is everything on your car stock, at what RPM did you launch and does your car have traction control??? If you get a chance please hit me back. I recently bought an 03' with a Steeda intake and T/C.
My car is bone stock. I ran about 30-35 psi in my BFG G-Forces and launched at about 3500 rpm. I aim for about ¾ of a rotation of the tire on launch (a little wheel spin helps). The track is near sea level, and the temp was about 78. I disabled the traction-control by pulling the TC/ABS fuse.
I hope you enjoy your car as much as I have mine.
Maybe I'll see you at focusfanatics.com
Can't u disable trac control by pressing and holding the button?
No you cannot. The T/C is not defeatable. That has been one of the SVT's main complaints. You need to either pull the fuse or find a tune that can disable it.

2012 NYC Vendy Award Finalist: Uncle Gussy's Traditional Greek Cuisine
"What makes it all worth it to me? I know what makes it all worth it: we built something, from nothing."
Meet Nick Karagiorgos, co-owner of Uncle Gussy's Traditional Greek Cuisine food truck on 51st and Park Avenue in Manhattan. A 2012 Vendy Award Finalist. If you want to talk to someone who's been around the street food business a long, long time, Uncle Gussy's is a good place to start. They began as a tiny food cart in 1971, selling typical, ordinary, run-of-the-mill street pretzels and hot dogs, until they started slowly introducing their mom's homemade recipes, just to see what would happen. The demand for their homemade Greek "specials" became so popular, they expanded the cart throughout the years to accomodate for their growing line of customers. According to Nick, the trick to staying in the business is giving "his people" what they want…and what they want is, apparently, LOTS of tzatziki sauce and his mom's home cooking. Enjoy their fun story!
Be sure to get your tickets to the big NYC Vendy Awards event on September 15th on Governor's Island.
Thanks for watching food. curated.! Happy Eating!
2012 NYC Vendy Award Finalist: Hamza & Madina Halal Food
Meet the Salem Mashriqi, co-owner of Hazma & Madina Halal Food on the corner of Hillside Avenue and Little Neck Parkway in Glen Oaks, NY. A 2012 NYC Vendy Award Finalist.
This halal food vendor is a little out of the way compared to others, but DEFINITELY worth the trip out. What sets them apart from all the other halal food carts are the Afghani flavors incorporated into their special lamb gyro and chicken gyro recipes and sauces. Personally, I've never had a white sauce with so much depth of flavor! Layers of interesting spices and ingredients pop out at you, but I just can't quite put my finger on them, but that's the beauty of it. Here, everything is homemade – right down to the spice blends – and everything's a secret. A true story about coming from nothing and building their own American dream. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching food. curated.! Happy Eating!
2012 NYC Vendy Award Finalist: Piaztlan Authentic Mexican Food Truck
Meet the Perez family of Piaztlan Authentic Mexican, one of the original food vendors at The Red Hook Ball Fields in Red Hook, Brooklyn. A 2012 NYC Vendy Award Finalist. Piaztlan is all about family, and without the guidance of Eleazar Perez, the mom and head chef, their truck would not have the reputation, the commitment to flavor or the loyalty their truck has today. This food truck story is definitely all about setting an example for your kids and being an inspiration to your family. Enjoy!
Be sure to get your tickets to the big NYC Vendy Awards event on September 15th on Governor's Island.

2012 NYC Vendy Award Finalist: The Cinnamon Snail
Over the past two weeks, I've been in and out of all sorts of food trucks throughout New York City, filming profile videos for the 2012 NYC Vendy Awards. This week, I'll be releasing them. It's been a pleasure spending time with very passionate, very dedicated food makers who've chosen to make a living in a very difficult and demanding business. Like one vendor explained: "Having a truck is like every issue a restaurant has to deal with AND every issue a drug dealer has to deal with…"
Though their food comes out quick and effortlessly, it's not easy doing what they do. They'll admit it too: the long hours, the prep work, the inevitable collection of parking tickets. However, each finalist also convinced me why it's all been worth it to them, and that's what I hope to show you in my video stories this week: the love and the passion put into each and every bite of food.
Today, Meet Adam Sobel of The Cinnamon Snail Vegan Organic food truck. A 2012 NYC Vendy Award Finalist.
Congrats to all the finalists! Be sure to get your tickets to the big event on September 15th.
Thanks for watching food. curated.! Happy eating!
Letting Salt Just Be Salt: Amagansett Sea Salt Co.
"I was very surprised when we first went into this that no one was making salt in New York, and very few on the East Coast; but, as we've become more involved in the business, I think there are very few people who are crazy enough to start a project like this."
Meet Steven and Natalie Judelson, sea-salt fanatics and husband & wife team behind Amagansett Sea Salt Co. in Long Island, NY. They are New York State's only sea salt makers and one of only four artisan salt makers on the entire Eastern Seaboard.
The Judelsons' love of salts came naturally: they've always preferred savory over sweet, a preference that got them addicted to tasting and collecting all-natural sea salts over 20 years ago. What they learned is that real salts, salts not heavily processed in factories, don't all taste the same. They have their own unique "terroir" – nuanced flavors that give a product a special sense of place. So, given their fascination and proximity to the ocean, they started making their own sea salt, for fun, out of their beach home in Amagansett. Over the past ten years, Steven has slowly perfected his homemade sea salt harvesting and "farming operation", to the point where in 2009, they took "a leap of faith" and decided to share their passion with others.
Right now, Amagansett Sea Salt Co. offers 10 different sea salt blends. You can find them in various farmers markets out in the Hamptons, or at specialty stores, like Shelsky's Smoked Fish, here in New York City. I recommend trying the East Hampton Blend with Herbes de Provence. It goes great with eggs, grilled seafood and meats. I also really like their Montauk Blend with lemon zest, which is a nice compliment to vegetables and fruits, and also goes great as a salt rim for margaritas.
Enjoy Steven and Natalie's story! I think you'll be surprised how much work and beauty goes into salting up your food.
Thanks for watching food. curated.! Happy eating!

Great little cabin.
About the Owner
Growing up in Orange County, CA, I vacationed in Arrowhead as a kid. Later in life (1980's) I purchased my own vacation home (Sugarbear Chalet 869) as a single man and soon brought my family to enjoy everything that Big Bear has to offer. We have had so many great times.
Our hope is that you will think of our cabin as your own second vacation home that you will return to for many seasons to come.

CLAYTONVILLE, TEXAS (Fisher County). Claytonville is just west of Farm Road 419 ten miles southwest of Roby in southwestern Fisher County. It has had five different locations in the sparsely settled section of the county. The first school was conducted in a tent on the Walter Caves place in 1888, and the post office was established the same year. The office took its name from Rube Clayton, manager of an area ranch established in 1883. The community's meeting place was the attractive Eighteen Springs, the water source for the area. The post office closed before 1940, when the community had a school, three businesses, and sixty people. The population was twenty-one in 1980 and 1990.

Can the symmetric encryption algorithm for S/MIME messages be changed?
Encryption algorithm requirements ensure a base level of interoperability among all S/MIME implementations. Email clients, however, can add additional algorithms, provided they correctly identify which algorithms a particular message uses. Expert Michael Cobb explains how.

To provide these services, S/MIME uses the X.509v3 format for digital certificates, along with various encryption algorithms. Non-repudiation actions, for example, require a public-key algorithm, while privacy and data security need a fast and efficient symmetric encryption algorithm.
RFC 3370 identifies the algorithms that all S/MIME version 3 software must support. These are Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) and Message Digest-5 (MD5) for hashing, Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and RSA for signatures, and RC2 and triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) for message encryption. The requirements ensure a base level of interoperability among all S/MIME implementations. Email clients, however, can add additional algorithms, provided they correctly identify which algorithms a particular message uses.
The United States government no longer restricts encryption strength, and the default encryption algorithm in Outlook, Outlook Web Access and most email clients is 3DES. Although it is slower than the original DES, the triple Data Encryption Standard is more secure. When Microsoft Outlook runs on a 40-bit operating system that does not have 128-bit encryption capabilities, it uses the RC2 algorithm by default.
Depending on the email client you use, it can be tricky to change this default setting. The figure below shows the security properties that you can set in Outlook Express 6, which include the encryption algorithm. In Outlook 2003's online help feature, there is no mention of how to change the algorithm. However, there is no particular reason to need to change this setting.

The Stage Directors and Choreographers Society (SDC), formerly known as Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers (SSDC), is an independent national labor union established in 1959, representing theatrical directors and choreographers, working on Broadway and on National tours, Off-Broadway, and in various resident, regional, stock and dinner theatres throughout the United States.
Member representatives collectively bargain contracts with producers creating the national standards for stage direction and choreography. An executive board elected from membership oversees negotiations.
SDC serves its membership of stage directors and choreographers, and their profession, through various functions:
- Elevating standards.
- Developing communication.
- Dissemination and exchange of ideas.
- Aiding development and training.
- Increasing the esteem and developing all conditions of the profession.
According to SDC's reports to the Department of Labor, the union is composed of "members" and "associate members," with the latter ineligible to vote in the union. Since 2005, when membership classifications were first reported, the percent of total membership considered "associate members" has grown from 18% to 33%, one third of the union.[2]
SDC Foundation[edit]
The Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation (SDCF) is an educational non-profit affiliate of the SDC founded in 1965, dedicated to supporting the craft and artistry of stage directors and choreographers. SDCF goals are to provide opportunities for exchange of knowledge, to provide opportunities to practice the craft, to promote the profession to emerging talent, to distribute craft and career information and to increase the awareness of the value of members' work. SDCF programs include the Observership Program, Artistic Fellowships, Director/Choreographer Network Meetings, Director/Dramatist Exchanges, the One-on-One Conversation Series and the Joe A. Callaway and "Mr. Abbott" Awards. In 2009, as part of the SDC 50th Anniversary, SDCF established the Zelda Fichandler Award to recognize contributions to regional theatre. SDCF also publishes "The Journal for Stage Directors and Choreographers" and "The Stage Directors Handbook."
