This is a defensive/support condition build I've come up with. It relies on condition damage, phantasm damage (iWarlock with conditions), might stack on weapon swap, glamour fields and a reflective focus. This is mainly used for sPvP support, but can work for WvW as well.
My dilemma is I'm not sure what to spend on the last 10 points, each area has its pros and cons. Also let me know what you think of the build.

Surviving Coast Guard Boot Camp (Page 3)
Get plenty of sleep in your last couple of days as a civilian. No matter what time you arrive at Cape May, your first day will not end until about 0030 (12:30 AM). Once you "hit the racks" on that first night, you won't have much time for sleep. A CC will be screaming and yelling at you at 0530 (5:30 AM). (Company Commanders have one very useful purpose in life -- they make excellent alarm clocks. There's no way to shut them off and go back to sleep).
The next two days will be spent inprocessing. You'll fill out about a billion forms, and guys will get their heads shaved. You'll undergo medical and dental screenings, get a whole bunch of shots, receive your first uniform issue. Anytime you're not actively doing something, you'll have your head buried in your Helmsman book (if you know what's good for you). On the second day, you'll undergo a urinalysis test. According to a recent graduate, this is where the CCs began to really turn up the heat.
You cannot wear contact lenses during basic training. You also cannot wear your civilian glasses, once you have been issued your official government-issue glasses. GI glasses are not pretty to look at. In fact, most people call them "BC Glasses," or "birth control glasses," on the basis that nobody has ever been known to "get lucky" while wearing them. During your first couple of days of basic training, you'll undergo a complete eye examination. If you require glasses to have 20/20 vision, you will be issued BC Glasses (takes a few days after the examination to get them). BC Glasses have thick, hard-plastic frames, with thick, hard-plastic lenses (very hard to break). Think of the movie, Revenge of the Nerds. Once you receive them, they are the only glasses you are allowed to wear, while at basic training. However, if you don't really need glasses to see, you won't be required to wear them. Once you graduate basic training, you can wear your civilian glasses again, as long as they comform to military dress and appearance regulations. Generally, that means their color must be conservative (no green, glow-in-the-dark frames), no designs or decorations on the frames, and no tinted lenses when indoors, or outdoors when in military formation (ie, when lined up for marching). Of course, this only applies when wearing a military uniform. In civilian clothes (after basic training) you can pretty much wear whatever kind of glasses you want.
Finally, on the 4th day, your entire company (about 50 to 60 men and women, although some "companies" have been known to be as large as 150 men and women) will be escorted to a room and you will meet your Company Commander and his/her assistants. This day starts your official boot camp training.
The first week will be the toughest. Just like the other military boot camps, you'll probably find that nobody does anything right during this first week of training. During this time, the CC is going to be evaluating everyone to hand out additional duties (including leadership positions) later in the week. Every day starts at 0530 (except Sundays when you get to sleep 15 minutes later!), and lights out are at 2200 (10:00 PM).
In Navy boot camp, recruits live in what is called a "ship." Although the Coast Guard is also a seagoing force, you'll call your living area a "squad bay." Just like any military boot camp, your squad bay will be "ship-shape" at all times.
In the Air Force, it's called "Dorm Guard." In the Army, it's called "Fire Guard." In the Navy and Coast Guard, it's called "Standing Watches." Regardless, it's all the same. It means that you get to spend significant amounts of time (which could otherwise be used for sleeping) guarding the barracks (excuse me, "squad bay") to make sure someone doesn't steal it. You get to entertain yourself by listening to people snore or talk in their sleep ("Oh, Margaret, do that, again!").
During the first week, you'll be introduced to drill, and begin (almost) daily physical exercises. Additionally, you'll undergo a class on the Uniform Code of Military Justice, where you will learn about punishable offenses, and the different ways that the Coast Guard can punish you, should it turn out you're nothing but a common criminal.
In the Air Force, it's called "set back." In the Army, it's called "recycled." In the Coast Guard, if you fall behind on training (or, if the Company Commander decides you can use a little additional "motivation"), you can be "reverted." This means setting you back to another company several days (or weeks) behind the company you are currently in. This is the primary threat that CCs use to keep troops motivated. Like the other services, you can earn "demerits" when you do something wrong. Except the Coast Guard doesn't call them "demerits." They call them "performance indicators," or "performance trackers." Too many of them babies can get you "reverted."
Micheal recalls "performance trackers:"
Performance Trackers - each recruit is required to carry two in his/her left breast pocket folded a certain way. Basically it's a piece of paper where on top you fill out your name, company, week and day of training you're in and lead Company Commander's name. Below you have space to state the "offense" you committed and below that you have space what you did/plan on doing to fix the problem. Then you have Coast Guard's three core values listed and you must check whichever one you beleive you violated, and below this you have a whole list of possibly every thing one can do wrong, you must check whichever one(s) you did wrong. Also you gotta make sure you don't overcheck or undercheck. If you overcheck, the Company Commander will have a little "repair" session with you since you have so many things going on wrong, if you undercheck, the Company Commander will start looking at you very closely since you don't have enough wrong things going on with you.
Coast Guard basic training has one feature that the other military services do not -- the "Performance Enhancement Platoon." Years ago, all of the services had special units/companies/platoons/flights where TIs/CCs/RDCs/DIs/DS's could send problem recruits for a little "extra motivation." However, the military JAGS (lawyers) all got together and decided that these "punishment units" were too much like correctional custody, which is a punishment authorized under the provisions of Article 15 (nonjudicial punishment) of the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). The view was that if you sent a recruit to such "punishment," you must grant him/her all the "rights" of receiving an Article 15, which means you must show an offense under the UCMJ, you must allow the recruit to consult with an attorney, you must provide a hearing, and the length of time (up to 30 days) in the "punishment unit" (correctional custody) is limited to the rank of the imposing commander. All of the services did away with such units, and/or replaced them with official correctional custody facilities.
However, the Coast Guard is not part of the Department of Defense, and its obvious that their lawyers have taken a different view. The Coast Guard still has a "punishment platoon," known as the "Performance Enhancement Platoon." Michael recalls:
You'll usually arrive on Tuesday evening in the Healy Hall first floor with all you belongings and you better have one sharp looking uniform. Before everyone arrives they'll make you stand at attention waiting. When everyone arrives they take you to the classroom in the same building where you go through a little indoctrination on purposes of PEP, how you should be proud to be in CG and stuff like that. Everything, as you can imagine, is not spoken in normal tone of voice. Then you grab your rifle and run outside where the real fun begins. By that time it should be around 8:00 pm. For the first night all you do is some serious Incentive Training (PT+some other rather unusual excercises - see below) until taps, so no shower. Next morning you rise at 5:00 am so you can beat all the companies to chow, where you sit at a separate table right near the Company Commander table. You have only 10 minutes to eat everything and you better not leave anything on the plate.Then you'll do PT, and more PT, and more PT -- all this with your rifle of course. For the rest of the week (you stay there til Saturday morning), you're given around 30-40 minutes every day to do personal hygeine stuff+uniform maintanance. Sometime during the day you also go to classroom instruction where they reinforce your belief that CG is the best thing in the world. The above routine is usually repeated every day and sometimes they even wake you up in the middle of the night to do some motivational stuff on you (after all, they're required to give you only 4 hours of sleep). This happens about three days a week.
Incentive Training - regular PT routine plus some excercises such as the Cockroach Crawl (crawl like a roach with your rifle), Daisy Chain - you grip rifle but of the person in front you you and run around the parade field with everyone running at the same pace and in step. Harder to do than it sounds. The Sniper - you take up the sniper position and the Company Commander sets a coin on the sight, you lay like that for around 30-60 minutes without dropping the coin. Same thing can be done with person standing up and aiming or sitting on one knee. The Chair - sit as if you were sitting on a chair with your back against the wall and arms streched out. The Think Position - sit on the deck cross-legged with rifle in your hands with and arms streched above the head.
Then there is quite a lot of little things aimed at personal humilitation -- they do make you feel like crap.
Ah.. also in PEP you wear pink belt and whenever you walk around everyone must raise their right hand (might be left.. I forgot) and shout "PEP" with every step as loud as you can.
Here's some important advice from Mike (a different Mike from the one above), who recently graduated from Cape May: "If you're ever out walking by yourself (not in formation), make sure you greet each and every Company Commander that you see." If you pretend you don't see them, and ignore them, they will make a special point of *NOT* pretending they didn't see you, and *NOT* ignoring you.
The serious classroom work begins during week 2. During this week, you'll receive classes on Military Civil Rights, Stress Management, the Coast Guard Boot Camp Chain of Command, Rates and Ranks, and Addressing Military Personnel (Officers are called "Sir," or "Ma'am," enlisted are addressed by their rank & last name). Additionally, you'll undergo a survival float test, to test your ability to stay afloat in the water. Of course, all of this is in addition to drill, physical conditioning, cleaning the squad bay, inspections, and just plain getting yelled at.
During the third week, you'll get training in the Freedom of Information Act, Military Pay & Allowances, Deck Hand Protective Equipment, Sexual Harassment, the Montgomery G I Bill, Coast Guard History, Coast Guard Missions and Traditions, Deck Seamanship, Code of Conduct, Advancements (Promotions), Lines, Knots& Marlinspike, and introduction to the 9mm handgun.

TC TO JOHN STERLING ; 3 January 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420103-TC-JOST-01; CL 14: 5-6
Chelsea, 3 jany, 1842—
My dear Sterling,
A happy new-year to you also;—and thanks withal for your many kindnesses to me! I am not worthy of you; yet I have you. Let us be thankful, let us be hopeful, and stand tightly to our work. Ay de mi, I wonder how people can ring bells at this season: I could rather chaunt Litanies; or go, like the Chinese, to "the grave of my Fathers," and sit silent there. God is great, and man is little and mean, and a fool! Coeur-de-lion shall be deposited duly where you have bidden.1 Cardalion,2—O tempora, O mores,3—is a hero of Shakspeare's Parson Hughes!4
The Westminster-Review Article "on the Corn-Laws" is but a Newspaper puff;5 which may the Devil reward. I did write a very insignificant Article, and publish it in that carrion of a Review; but it is an Article on Baillie the Scotch Covernanter's Letters and Journals, and has nothing to do with any Corn-Laws; one paragraph only the wretched Editor I suppose has clipt out, and sent circulating thro' the Newspapers. After all, be it so! I do not know but the Divine Right of Squires may actually come to require treatment by me;6 it is one of the most portentous and momentous questions struggling into articulation in these days.
The Article has nothing in it to attract you, except perhaps an Extract about Strafford's Trial, which is really notable; which I meant to tell you of, ever since the Book came into my hands, three months ago: nay for longer ago than that; for I have known the old edition of the Book this great while; but I always hesitated to mention it to you, lest the impossibility of getting it (for such there was) might only vex you. David Laing of Edinburgh, the new Editor, is a skilful man, and has more than once obliged me. I wrote this Article partly for his sake, partly to bring my own hand in.— If you now think Baillie worth carrying to Falmouth, I can right willingly set him under way; the Book is my own, and I have no immediate need of it. Would to Heaven I had!—
Does John Mill ever write to you? It is something like four months since I last saw him, and then in his own house one evening,—very busy with a Book on Logic.
This paper is made of plaster of Paris; wherefore I am forced to write on it with a steel pen; altogether afflicting to me. Sit finis [Let there be an end].
May this year be better for us than the last was. May we shew ourselves better; truer, braver, humbler: that is the right good!
My Wife, stepping in at this moment, sends you many kind salutations. Good be with you always, my dear Friend.
Yours affectionately /
T. Carlyle
I have got an admirable Portrait of Milton by Cooper; far the best face of him ever drawn. Molteno sells it in Pall Mall for 5/- Sir J. Reynolds got it engraved about 50 years ago, and successfully defended its authenticity.7

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Monday the outlook is largely positive for linebacker Jonathan Vilma and safety Pierson Prioleau, two players who left the field hurt against the San Diego Chargers last week and did not return.
Vilma, who Tweeted after the game that he would be fine and a definite go when the Saints begin the regular season Sept. 9 against the Vikings, will get a second opinion on a groin injury, Loomis told the New Orleans Touchdown Club at its first 2010 luncheon at the Embassy Suites in the Warehouse District.
"We don't think it's serious," Loomis added. "All indications are he's going to be ready to go in the opening game."
Vilma, the starting middle linebacker and an acknowledged defensive leader for the Super Bowl champs, isn't fighting for a roster spot.
Prioleau, however, is and his chances of making the 53-man roster, which the Saints must reach by Saturday afternoon, could be jeopardized by a knee he injured against the Chargers.
Loomis acknowledged Prioleau has played well in the preseason. He recovered a muffed fumble against the Houston Texans and has been a fairly reliable member of the Saints sometimes shaky kick coverage unit. At the same time, however, Loomis noted that evaluations are still being made and that final decisions in some areas - including special teams and at safety, where the Saints have seven players listed on their roster Monday - have not been made.
"I don't want to say anything one way or the other about that," Loomis said, when asked if he thought Prioleau had made the cut.
Meanwhile, word has been limited thus far on two other Saints injured against the Chargers. Wide receiver and kick returner Courtney Roby left the game but told reporters afterward he was fine. So, too, did offensive lineman Zach Strief, who can play more than one position and was inserted into the starting lineup against the Texans when veteran tackle Jon Stinchcomb was held out.
Both Strief and Prioleau are at the Saints facility in Metairie this afternoon with practice scheduled to begin in a few minutes.

Would love to have some feed back on this. How many of you would agree that the answer lies in replacing this political ideology vs. politicians? Pass this along to others considering to pursue office. This was my letter to Hawaii's new political party: Hawaiian Independence Party: HIP. I was requesting to represent them for the Senate seat. I'm officially still under consideration.
50% of all medical cost is lifestyle related. Both parties know this and yet, neither has looked into this side of the healthcare reform.
Why not?
One party is about gov't care, the other, free markets. Other options are simply not considered.
As much as a third of fed deficits are in real estate securities that Uncle Sam bought during the banking bailouts. Of course, both parties know this. Solve the real estate issue, we just paid off $5 trillion of our fed debt.
Why have they not looked at this side of deficit reduction?
Well, one party is about raising taxes while the other is about cutting services. Both overlook the securities side for it is outside their ideological response.
There are hundreds of such leads that have been overlooked. The reason is always the same: the ideological focus of both parties leave them confined to the same cookie cutter answer for any given issue.
We are here to highlight these other options, and yet, that is only part of the purpose of our campaign. The larger purpose is to show how this ideology keeps us from all such alternatives. The problem with American politics might not be the Democrats or Republicans or even the corruption of our political system. The real and larger problem may lie here with the ideology itself.
It becomes unnerving to realize that all the world's political thinking has been confined into this one single, ideological paradigm. All social economic thought is kept to this small fish-bowel of socialist vs. capitalist conflict.
Our campaign for Hawaii's Senate seat is intended to break this ideological straight jacket. We do this with a series of alternate proposals to serve as working models for a new brand of dialogue and exploration. In general, we work with considerations that most have already had passing ideas about, but which never got that second look. Today, we will give them that second look.
First it's important to understand the repressiveness of this ideology. To begin, the conservative vs. liberal paradigm creates this artificial set of conflict postures. The larger issue is the narrow scope of choices between two evils. We are confined into this false dichotomy that imperils our options, our natural sense of common cause and the heart of our humanity. The election process completes this dysfunction by sucking out the life air from all other discourse, considerations and prospects as the two parties dominate debates.
Our campaign is intended to break this ideological strangle-hold upon the America spirit. We do so by showcasing the host of new fortunes to be won by stepping outside the ivory tower of this outdated ideology.
Our program proposals provide greater service for less money, faster turn-around time and broader bi-partisan support over those by either party. These are intended to showcase the ease for such reforms once we look outside the two party system. In short, we are here to convince the country that there is a whole world of new possibilities once we free ourselves of these ideological shackles and in so doing, unleash the best of American resourcefulness into our political process at long last.
We have policy models for most every issue of the day. All are intended to jump start the conversation around the host of other great options just ripe for the picking. Our daring declarations will leave the country double checking 'facts' against our bold claims and so stirring this election into a new conversation. We expect they will make national headlines – and hopefully, grab the public's imagination as it spurs our entrepreneurial spirit into national politics so lacking our nation's magic. This is the purpose of Raghu-nomics and the campaign for the Senate offers the perfect national platform for it.
Best of all, this seems to fulfill the very purpose of the Hawaii Independent Party. I gather, you will find these complementary to your own vision and ideals as well.
8 Books on Economics called Raghu-nomics. Summary highlights below.
Policy Proposals
Federal Deficit:
$3 to $5 trillion of our deficit is in real estate securities. Resolve this real estate (security) issue and gov't can sell – reduce - fed debt by a third. We can do this without raising taxes or cutting services.
Our simple solution: the real estate securities issue is one big accounting mistake. Once understood, Uncle Sam could sell these securities within weeks. Covered in Video.
Please watch this video for it is the basis of the campaign and fund raising – as I will explain at our meeting.
Other articles:
50% of all medical cost is lifestyle related. This means if we each covered our own lifestyle cost, we could reduce both taxes and insurance by this same 50%.
· Obesity: $200 billion a year = equals about 10 cents for every hamburger, soda-pop, ice-cream and French fries. This 10 cent buys us Universal Healthcare for all obesity related care – for free.
· Tobacco: $100 billion a year = a trillion over the next decade. Place all $ into a single pot (trust) and negotiate a $600 billion contract for 3 times the service. Half the cost for 3 times the service.
· Alcohol: $200 billion a year. About 70% are from 4% of the consumers – alcoholics. $10 billion in rehab programs may save us $150 billion a year in social cost.
· Once combined, these 3 programs alone would equal $500 billion a year. That's about $7 trillion over the next decade. All other gov't programs are now saved from this cost burden: Social Security, Vet Affairs, Medicare (cal), etc. Those programs can focus on other areas of service while members still receive better quality care in these lifestyle care services.
· New, $30 tillion, lifestyle insurance industry.
(Numbers from $25k research by Guerrilla Economics.)
American Shopping Party
50 Million American's buy American Made on the 1st Sat of each month. $200 a month equals $300 billion a year (Wal-Mart is $400 billion). Create market for American Made with a simple, one day a month party highlighting our country's best.
We have a GNP of $15 trillion a year. If just 20% of that was in US made products, we would have 100% employment. That's why just one day a month is enough to get us over that hump and up to that 20% American made.
American companies are losing hundreds of billions in market share to foreign competition. Hard to beat competition as long as we keep sending them all our technology and know-how. To save millions in US labor cost, US corps hand over billions in cutting edge tech to our competition. In turn, we lose hundreds of billions in market share to them. Corporations need understand that the 'real money' is made off of market share. The American worker is their partner against this growing international competition and silly to try and save millions on wages when it cost us hundreds of billions in market share.
New Inflation Index: How much gold it takes buy technology vs. how many dollars it takes to buy gold. Technology is the offset to inflation and so measuring our cost to buy that tech is the more accurate measure of inflation.
More policy proposals upon request.

on behalf of the applicant: Steven Schepis, Esq.; Peter Steck, Planner;
Waldemar Ptaszek, applicant; Mr. Puzio, AIA; Marc Walker, PE
Schepis – This is our 2nd meeting before the Board. Reviewed the lot and surrounding area for
the Board. The applicant is requesting
a front setback variance; deviation of slopes and handrail on top of retaining
wall as well as existing lot size.
Puzio, AIA – previously sworn
recent architectural plans are dated 3/30/07.
The revisions show that the height and size of the house have been
reduced. We have reduced the overall
height by 8'. We have reduced the
height of the basement floor to 9'.
Reduced kitchen to 9' where it used to be 14'. The rear elevation has been reduced to 32'. We have eliminated the attic. The front elevation is a single story
structure. The 2nd floor
(street level) has a living room; dining room and kitchen. The 2 bedrooms are on the floor below. 2 bedrooms are in the basement. The highest point of the roof from the
basement to the peak of the roof is 35'.
We made 5 different changes to make the house look smaller than it
is. The width of the house was reduced
by 1 ½'. Overall reduction was close to
30 square feet.
Walker, PE – sworn
- development map exhibit – highlighted area of lot and surrounding area
- Topo map of surrounding area
Walker - Average slope on the lot is less than 35%. The proposed footprint is considerable smaller than the housing
in the surrounding area. We start the
driveway at the lowest elevation we can.
House looks like a 1-story structure from the front. The rear of the house is 3 stories because
of the grade of the
property. The driveway is relatively flat. I have created a highpoint at the end of the
driveway to look over the hump in the road making less of a sight distance
problem. The neighboring house is 2'
closer to the street than what we propose.
We have a turnaround area as required so there will not be backing out
on Rockledge Road. We made application
to the Township Committee to change the speed limit but they did not
agree. They agreed to post a sign in that
area with 15 mph speed limit. We can
either re-align the road or lower the hump in the road. There are 2 houses already on the hump so
that would increase the steepness of their driveways. Re-aligning the road would create a significant amount of disturbance. We can add a curve but there will still be a
hump there. We decided that moving the driveway, as far away from the hump as
possible was the best bet. We moved the
driveway to the far south of the property.
We propose a 15 mph warning sign.
Propose a flashing sign that says, "When flashing vehicle exiting
driveway". This would be a solar
powered sign that turns on when a plate on the driveway is driven on. The homeowner insists on having a mirror
that would give 155 feet of sight distance.
A recent report from Traffic Safety Officer indicated that he would not
approve the sign unless it met DOT regulations. We will consolidate the flashing sign and the 15 mph sign into
one sign as required by DOT.
A5 – sign detail
Walker – The Town Council will have to approve the sign and DOT will have to
authorize construction. Garage floor is
located on the 2nd floor.
The proposed house meets the Township ordinances as it relates to height
and stories. There is a series of 3
retaining walls in the rear. 1st
two are 6' and the final one is 5' in height.
Pedestrian access from front of garage on south side is a series of
steps that go adjacent to the house to the rear yard. The access is along a retaining wall and for safety purposes
propose a 3' high handrail. Since we
raised the driveway to reduce sight distance problem, need a guide rail, which
is 2'10" in height. There is a chain
link fence on the other side of the house so there will not be pedestrian
traffic along that side of the house.
This is the best design for this property. The front setback requested is 33.7' but the right of way along
the property is 34' and had to measure as it was a 50' right of way. If we moved the house back to conform to the
setback it increases the grade disturbance and the garage elevation would be
higher. It would make it look like the
garage is not related to the living space.
If we had a parking pad instead of a garage we would have to back out
onto Rockledge and it would require a 12' high retaining wall. This proposal minimized the effect to the
neighbors. The house on lot 21 is only
2' further back from the road. Many of
the driveways in the area exceed the 15% slope. No matter what the proposal there is no avoiding development into
the slopes.
Walker – Will require soil erosion approval from Morris County Soil Conservation
District. Collected all impervious
coverage runoff on site. Propose 3 -
1,000 gallon drywells. There were 2
prior approvals one in 1978 and one in 1988.
The 1988 approval shows the garage 23' from the right of way where we
proposed 33' from the right of way. Our
proposal has a flat driveway. The 1978
plan is similar but was to be constructed 25' from the right of way. We will be hooking up to sewers where the
previous plans had septic systems proposed which would require more disturbance
than what is proposed. There are 72
houses in the area that are built on slopes higher than 25%. Once the site is constructed do not see any
effect to surrounding area or Lake Valhalla.
Denzler – Requested the square footage of overall house. Mr. Puzio – Approximately 5,000 including 3
floors and garage. Mr. Denzler – How
many truckloads of fill is required?
Mr. Walker – 2,286 cubic yards, so about 152 trucks. Mr. Huelsebusch - Adequacy of turning radii
on the driveway. Mr. Walker – will be
adequate for any car and will be able to turnaround and head out face
first. Mr. Huelsebusch – I believe that
A5 is in conformance with DOT requirements.
Mr. Barile did a letter dated today that would have to be conformed
to. Mr. Schepis – Agreed. Mr. Huelsebusch – Suggest a geotechnical
engineer be on site during construction.
Marinello – We will open to the public for these witnesses, if represented by
counsel then attorney shall go first.
The application will not be finished tonight. Any comments as to for or against the application will beheld to
the end of the testimony. We will be
requesting questions that may not be answered at this hearing but the
applicant's professionals can come back at the next hearing with the answers to
those questions asked.
to public
Pearce attorney for several property owners.
wish to do a power point presentation at the next meeting.
J. Micakowski, AIA - sworn
am testifying on my own behalf. Ihave
compared the 1988 design. I would like
to have opportunity to do a complete presentation at a later date.
O1 – poster board of photocopies
of 1988 site plan and 2005/2007 site plan
O2 – east elevation of 1988 and
comparing data from the past and today, how did Mr. Walker determine that this
house is smaller than the houses in the area?
Why does the current plan require many retaining walls and excessive
land disturbance when the 1988 plan did not?
How was this house designed specifically for this site? We would like an independent architect to
determine what the real square footage is. Will the house be about 16' above
the driveway? Did you develop road
profiles to determine how much this house will be above the road? Most houses along this road are below street
level. How do you justify that this
house is above the road where the rest of the houses are below the road.
Batik – 24 Lakeshore Dr. - sworn
am concerned with the number of trucks that will be required for soil. I would like impact information to the area
of that number of trucks. I am
concerned with the amount of soil to be brought to the site. What kind of soil is it? What is consistency of the soil?
Mickowski – 23 Rockledge Rd. - sworn
would want to make sure that my husband's presentation be allowed in power
point. Can an appropriate home be
built on this lot? The proposal
requested seems egregious.
Mareiniss – 22 Lakeshore Dr. - sworn
does the 1988 design show less impact to neighbors and public as opposed to
present design?
Cartine – How many drywells proposed?
Mr. Walker – 3. Mr. Cartine –
Only see 2. Mr. Cartine – Identify
properties that have the same or steeper slopes in the area. Identify any other house that has 3 stories
exposed? Dr. Kanoff – Have you done the
solar powered sign in any other project?
Mr. Walker – No. Mr. Hug –
Concerned with solar powered sign and mirror proposed. Will sunlight shine off mirror to blind
oncoming drivers? Mr. Marinello –
Concerned with the chain link fence.
Mr. Buraszeski – Are other properties in the area the same size as this
lot? Mr. Ackerman – Suggest a
neighborhood theme be established as to size of lots and square footage of
houses. Mr. Driscoll – Concerned with
dump trucks accessing the site. Mr.
DiPiazza – Who will take care of the sign in the future?

on behalf of the applicant: Steven Schepis, Esq.; Raymond Raykov, applicant;
Joseph Mianecki, PP; PE
Schepis – Reviewed the variances requested for the board. We ran into an issue with the County and
decided to give an 8 ½' easement to the County. It has been submitted to the County for approval.
Mianecki – previously sworn
was last revised 4/4/07. There is an 8
½' right of way easement dedicated along the front of the property to the
County. There will be no parking of
display vehicles in front of the building line and will not exceed 25
vehicles. 5 spaces designed for
employee parking. Proposed 2 landscape
planters and foundation plantings. The
2 lights are wall mounted and are Towaco Style. There will be a painted line extended in front of the building to
designate where the County right of way is.
The County has not posted this as no parking but it is a viable area for
customers to park or maneuver on site.
Mianecki - The proposed shed will have a 2 ½' rear setback where 5' is
required. The purpose of the shed is to
clean up the site of items that are currently stored in the fenced in
area. The existing building is at 7.8'
so the rear setback cannot be met for the shed. The rear neighbor is the railroad track so it will not affect a
neighbor. Mr. Denzler – Requested
additional landscaping along easterly property line. Mr. Mianecki – There are currently bushes in front of the
southerly end of the rock wall. They
are about 3-4' in height. I would not
want to put landscaping too close to the road.
Mr. Denzler – Do you have to walk out into the right of way to get into
the car along Rt. 202? Mr. Mianecki –
Yes. Mr. Denzler – Customers come out
of the building and have to go out onto the street to get around that car. Mr. Mianecki – We are trying to make
establish a more aesthetically pleasing view to the site with the
landscaping. Mr. Denzler – Recommend
concrete planters. Mr. Mianecki – Agreed. Mr. Denzler – 2 or 3 planters can be
installed along right of way. Mr. Schepis
– Would make it less maneuverable on site for display area.
Denzler - As it relates to the lighting detail on the plan the light source
must be 150 High Pressure Sodium. Mr.
Mianecki – Yes, with yellow bulbs, as per the specs that I received from Omland
Engineering. Mr. Denzler - Can the
lights be turned off ½ hour after closing?
Mr. Mianecki – Yes. Mr. Denzler
– Requested the height of the existing sign?
Mr. Mianecki - 18' high. Mr.
Denzler- How is a 55 s.f. sign in keeping with the Towaco theme? Mr. Mianecki – It does not. Want to use the existing pole, the pole juts
out to the front of the building, if hung off the jut out area it would be
about 7' in height and would prevent access from delivery trucks. There is no other location on the site for
this sign. Mr. Denzler – Only that sign
will work? Mr. Mianecki – Yes. Mr. Denzler- Looking for ½ that size for the
sign and lower than what exists. A
smaller sign at a lower height would be more aesthetically pleasing, even if
placed in the same location. Mr.
Schepis – We have not been able to come up with any different signage.
Huelsebusch –Do you believe that 30 cars can be parked on this site
safely? Mr. Mianecki – Depends on the
size of the cars. Mr. Hug – Asked the
Board Engineer if he thought that 30 cars could be parked safely on the
site. Mr. Huelsebusch – Maybe Mini
Coopers. Mr. Schepis – All the display
vehicles will be parked behind the building as required. Mr. Huelsebusch – Stripe should be 8" wide
not 4" wide. I am concerned with the
parking on site and the rights that go along with this type of use.
to public – none
Schepis – Mr. Raykov has brought 3 of his customers to testify to the
Denzler – There was a Board of Health report received this evening. Mr. Schepis – In lieu of waste oil being
stored in 5 gallon containers, this board requested tanks and containment. This was not reviewed by the Board of Health
previously so I sent them a letter clarifying same and they reported back
Shah, customer of Mr. Raykov – 89 Hunter Rd Lincoln Park - sworn
have had repairs done by Mr. Raykov for the past 2 years. Mr. Cartine – Have you ever bought a car
from this site? Mr. Shah – No.
Ispreai – 2102 Cedar Knolls, NJ -sworn
Raykov has been servicing my cars for years at the Rt. 202 site.
Bott – 8 Sheeprock Rd. Kinnelon - sworn
have known Mr. Raykov since 1984. He
has been servicing my car since then.
Schepis – Request painted line along the right of way instead of blockage by
planters. The County has approved this
plan. As it relates to the sign we do
not know what to do. Think it is in the
Towaco theme and any lower it will be smacked by a delivery truck.
Denzler – Reviewed the variances for the Board. Requesting a certificate of pre-existing non-conformity,
expansion of non-conforming use and minor site plan; accessory structure
setback from principal building .5' vs 10'; accessory structure rear setback
2.5' where 5' required.
Marinello – Concerned with the maneuverability of the site onto the County
right of way. I have not seen
definitive proofs that the County has approved that. Mr. Cartine – Concerned with the lack of proofs that this use has
been the same since before the ordinances.
Mr. Cartine asked for an explanation of the use of the right of
way. Mr. Ackerman – This Board cannot
approve the use of a County right of way for maneuverability on site and the
applicant has not agreed to the beautification of the site by using concrete
planters that would prohibit the crossover onto the County right of way. Mr. Marinello – Would prefer it remain open
for safety purposes, but make it clear that the Board does not approve of the
use of the right of way.
Driscoll – What are we doing about the signage? Mr. Marinello – There has been no decision on the signage
yet. Mr. Driscoll – Suggest that the
signage be in conformance with the Towaco Center specifications. Mr. Driscoll – Suggest that we get review by
the Design Review Committee. Mr. Hug –
Can we do this subject to the Design Review Committee and meeting the Towaco
Design Standards? Mr. Ackerman – Yes. Mr. Marinello – You are in effect denying
the sign at this time. Mr. Cartine –
Can we deny the certificate of pre-existing non-conforming use due to lack of
proofs? Mr. Marinello – Yes but we can
approve the non-conforming use. Mr.
Cartine – I have not seen proof that the sale of vehicles has continued since
before 1952.
to approve the application the use is compatible with location as
non-conforming use and is a good use for a site that abuts a railroad, no more
than 25 cars behind the line and no more than 30 total on site, approval of the
shed location due to location of railroad and no residential lots, subject to
all professional and agency recommendations with the exception of the planters
on the west side of the property, subject to signage must be reviewed and

setbacks variances. Mr. Marinello – You
have gone from 5 variances to 2? Mr.
Needleman – Yes.
Walker – previously sworn
s.f. lot size where 27,000 s.f. required.
We have shrunken down our proposed house from the previous
proposal. Variances requested are due
to the size of the lot. This house will
be substantially smaller than the other houses in the area. The applicant is requesting a variance from
unnamed street and rear setback. There
is one issue, recently the ordinances has been interpreted as the height of the
structure and relates to the side setback.
We have to move the house to 17.4' from the unnamed right of way. I would like to amendment our application to
be 17.4' instead of 18.9'. Mr.
Marinello – Did you notice for it.
Notice was reviewed and the applicant has notice properly. Mr. Huelsebusch – The applicant has proposed
extension of the stormwater drain in Berlin Lane. The application would require approval from the Township
Engineer. The revised plan must show
the elevations along with moving the house further from the side property
line. Mr. Walker – The drainage from
the site will be brought to the detention system off the subdivision. There will be no added infiltration to the

on behalf of the applicant: Steven Schepis, Esq.
Schepis – Requesting an interpretation of the zoning ordinance as it relates to
a potential development located at 446 and 448 Rt. 202. The properties are located in the B-1
zone. The ordinance requires that
bar/taverns exist in stand along buildings where the bar/tavern is part of this
strip mall. The applicant is proposing
to create a bank at the residential building in front of the strip mall. There will be cross parking easement to both
properties. Propose an increase of
parking on site. Request an
interpretation that the bar use is not being expanded since the parking will be
changed on site. I agree with Mr.
Denzler's memo. Mr. Denzler – There is
no reduction in the Red Barn lot property, there is no taking away of parking,
and there are no improvements to be done to the building where the existing
non-conforming use stands. Do
see this as an expansion of a non-conforming use. I would interpret this application as being considered under the
jurisdiction of the Planning Board. Mr.
Marinello – We are not condoning any use on the property, just interpreting the
ordinance as it relates to the non-conforming use of the bar. Mr. Ackerman – Based on the fact that the
bank does not exceed FAR or height.

One small step in a new direction can have a huge ripple effect in your life. Meet six women who weren't trying to reinvent themselves, but still found a wonderful new path.
Carmel, Indiana Small Step: Helped a neighbor reupholster a chair Big Result: Now teaches upholstery and sewing One summer evening, Leer spotted her neighbor, an upholsterer, working in her garage studio. Leer's kids were already in bed, so she strolled over to check out her friend's project-and to vent her frustration that she couldn't find enough freelance work as a paralegal. Grateful for someone to talk to, Leer started dropping in nearly every night as her friend worked. After a few weeks, she casually picked up a staple remover and began to help, yanking huge upholstery staples out of an old chair. "It was a great stress release," she says. "It felt gratifying to pull something apart and have a clean slate." She continued helping her neighbor and liked the work so much that she ended up taking a $100 class at a local vocational school to get training in upholstery. It was transformative. She discovered she had a knack for redesigning furniture. Over the next 12 years, Leer worked out of a shop in her garage. She quit her legal work and became adept at a complex upholstery maneuver called button tufting. She reupholstered, or designed and built, around 300 pieces of furniture, such as ottomans and children's rocking chairs, netting $15,000 a year, enough to supplement the household income. But it was lonely work, and she wanted to earn more. Craving companionship, Leer began to give free sewing classes at a women's shelter. She taught the residents how to turn donated jeans into denim skirts and embellish clothes with gold lamé braid and feathers. "I loved how helping them learn one little thing boosted their confidence so much," she says. "That's when I knew that teaching what I know was more important than doing it."

Meat Hook Guys Opening Williamsburg Sandwich Shop Next Year
The menu will include roast-beef, turkey, and roast-pork subs.
Partners Tom Mylan, Brent Young, and Ben Turley sent a note announcing the imminent arrival of Meat Hook Sandwich, a beer-and-submarine-sandwich-based offshoot of the Meat Hook in Williamsburg, their butcher shop specializing in sustainable meats. Cold beer will be served with a menu of five regular items, including roast-beef, turkey, and Italian subs, along with a roast-pork variety and a grilled ham-and-cheese sandwich. (In his characteristically straightforward way, Mylan writes that daily specials will be "determined by whatever we have too much of at the butcher shop.") Meat Hook Sandwich is scheduled to open in January, at 495 Lorimer Street, just next door to Gimme! Coffee. [Related]

Several New Orleans Saints players are taking advantage of their team's bye week to get involved in various charitable activities. The Saints return to action Nov. 28 in a Monday night game against the New York Giants in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
For example, defensive end Will Smith joined the Bridge House/Grace House at the New Orleans Marriott for an NFL Celebrity Waiters luncheon. Smith represented his "Where There's a Will There's a Way," foundation and enlisted the help of several teammates, including linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar and cornerback Tracy Porter. Former Saints Deuce McAllister, Mike Mackenzie, Rickey Jackson, Michael Lewis, Steve Korte and Rich Mauti also participated in the event to raise money for the mission which serves indigent and homeless people in the community.
"Substance abuse is a real issue in our community. It affects not only the individuals, but the families of people who are affected by this problem," Smith said in a statement released by the team. "This event was a great way to help support these people in their recovery efforts, as well as helping them find a place to live and enter the workforce again, allowing them to support both themselves and their families."
Meanwhile, Saints quarterback Drew Brees and other players have collected and donated more than $43,000 to the Navy Seal Foundation, whose mission is to provide immediate and ongoing support to the Naval Special Warfare community and its families, according to the club.
"We, as Saints players, have so much respect for the men and women in our armed forces," said Brees in a statement. "We recognize and appreciate greatly the sacrifices they make for us on a daily basis. They are always in our thoughts and prayers and we wanted to all contribute to the Navy Seal Foundation as a way of supporting those who have lost their lives defending our freedom."
The Lusher Charter School also benefited from Saints players charitable efforts. Offensive tackle Zach Strief, safety Malcolm Jenkins, and cornerback Leigh Torrence participated in Verizon's "Training Camp for Life Initiative." The three, along with other NFL alumni, spoke with students about topics such as overcoming adversity, decisions and consequences and healthy teen relationships.
