The demand for money in Austria
AbstractIn this paper, the demand for real money M1, M2, and M3 is estimated for Austria over the time period 1965-96. The modelling takes place within the framework of a small vector autoregression. To estimate the demand for money, two-equation error-correction models are constructed, which contain the short-run dynamics and the long-run economic equilibrium. It is found that a stable money demand exists for all monetary aggregates. The long-run equilibrium of M1, after accounting for a structural break in 1979, can be characterised as a classical type of money demand, with no interest rate effects and an elasticity of one for real GDP. In the case of M2 and M3, we find a unit coefficient on income and a significantly negative influence of a long-term interest rate. The statistical properties of the estimated short-run money demand equations - considering in-sample and out-of-sample tests - are generally very good.

El Paso — We've been seeing the price at the pump fluctuate lately. On Wednesday morning we saw a brief drop in price. According to gasbuddy.com, gas prices in El Paso dropped down by 1 cent from $2.96 to $2.95.
Although the price drop is not dramatic, we spoke with El Paso residents who were pleased with the temporary change.
"I think it's great. I think as low as it can get, the better. I have family so I think it would be help every body's economy if it keeps going down," Jaime Palma of West El Paso explained.
Nationally, gas prices have been increasing to an average of $3.25 per gallon. Experts say holiday travel has caused the price at the pump to increase, however, they are expecting the prices to drop down.
Experts add, that gas prices usually go down in the Winter season because of cheaper costing production costs as well as fewer drivers hitting the roads.

Just A Straight Honest Answer - JUNE 2714 Reviews
Bob calls Kara and Gee Calls Too Late
"Bob, wait until you see where we're going tonight. We found the greatest underground club. They play nothing but 80's hits. I can't wait to see you in your boogie shoes."
Bob barely hesitated before moving past and into the green room. Crap, it was full of people. There wasn't a quiet place anywhere backstage. He'd get a ride back to the hotel. Hopefully, he'd have the room to himself for a while. Hell, since he was sharing with Gerard, he'd have it to himself most of the night if Gee stayed true to form. He looked up and spotted Frank and James heading out. He gave a shout and ran to join them.
At the hotel, Bob keyed into the room. He was actually excited to call. He took a deep breath and flipped the phone open. He ignored the 'you have 1 voice mail' message and pulled up Kara's number. Another deep breath before he hit 'talk'. She answered on the first ring.
"Bob, I'm so glad you called. I don't know what happened to that stupid phone. There was water in it. Stupid thing. So I missed your call. But why didn't you call the house phone? Why'd you call that stupid sister of mine instead? Why didn't you talk to me? Bob, are you mad at me?"
Although he didn't quite catch all of Kara's ramblings, it was clear that something had happened to her cell. That explained a lot.
"No, Honey. I just had a very long night and I was sure you were just blowing me off. Are you mad at me?"
"No, Pookie. I'm sorry I missed your call. I wanted to talk to you so bad and then I thought you didn't call... and then today I figured out the cell phone wasn't working and I had to wait to get a new one. Boy do they eat slow... and do you know what Jamia ate on her pizza? Pineapple and jalapenos. Can you imagine? Those babies are going to be seriously messed up..." Kara continued on as Bob leaned back against the headboard of his bed. He inhaled deeply and smiled to himself. It was going to be all right.
Monica lay in bed staring at the clock. She tried to close her eyes; she just wanted to fall asleep. It was 3:38 in the morning for Gee. Had he been so tired that he had fallen asleep after the concert? Jamia and Frank had talked hours ago. She had heard Jamia ask Frank if Gee was rooming with him but he had told her that he had his own room. Did Gee have his own room too? If so, was he alone? Monica rolled over refusing to look at the clock any more. She closed her eyes and thought back to the park. It had been a wonderful day. Every time Elle said her name it touched her heart. She prayed that she would get to be a mommy to Elle. Once she and Gee married, she wanted them to have Elle part of the time. Even if he was away on tour she wanted Elle to stay with her and the girls in their new home. In her mind she tried to picture how the guest bedroom could he turned into a room for Elle.
Gerard glanced at this watch and mentally smacked himself in the head. It was almost four in the morning. Where had the time gone? He was still pissed at Bob for not joining them; they had had a great time. It had been a fun night sitting in the bar listening to old American songs from the 1980's. Bob would have had a good time he was sure.
As they waited for the elevator she linked her arm with his, "So tonight was fun, wasn't it?"
"For sure, it was. When they started playing 'The Safety Dance" I thought I was gonna lose it. You guys did a great dance."
"Well thank you, Mr. Way." She smiled. "Tonight was just like old times."
Gerard smiled, "Yeah, just like the tours used to be." The elevator doors opened and they stepped inside. As the door slid closed he frowned, "This whole tour seems so wrong with Mikey and Ray missing."
Reaching out and took his hand, "You really miss your brother, don't you?" She gently stroked his cheek.
Gerard nodded, "Yeah I miss Mikey." He laughed softly, "Weird a guy my age missing his brother but me and Mikey have always been so close. I guess things have to change, he's married now and I'm getting married soon too." She noticed he didn't look happy.
"Oh, that's wonderful, how soon?" She asked. The elevator doors opened.
As they stepped out into the hall he answered, "Well I'm not sure. Monica is kinda unsure I guess." He suddenly felt he should defend her indecisiveness, "The accident sorta changed things."
"Oh, of course." They walked down the hall towards their rooms. "Night, Gee" she leaned foreword and brushed his cheek lightly with her lips. "Thanks for the wonderful night."
He smiled at her then continued down the hall towards his room. He looked up and noticed Frank standing in the doorway of his room. "Hey" he said.
Frank shot him a look of disgust and slammed his door.
Gerard was momentarily shocked by Frank's actions. Shit, he thought what the fuck did I do to deserve that? He got to his room and slammed his own door but seeing Bob sleeping made him regret his actions. He walked into the bathroom quietly and took out his phone. He stood still and stared at it. Suddenly he felt very tired and very guilty. The guilt seemed to overwhelm him. Monica had to be waiting for him to call and she would definitely know he was calling at four in the morning. Briefly he thought of lying and telling her tomorrow that he had fallen asleep after the concert. Would Frank or Bob rat him out if he did? Once more guilt took over and he knew he couldn't lie to her.
She answered on the third ring. "Hey honey." He said softly.
Monica spoke in an even, unemotional tone, "Gee I need an answer from you. No bullshit just a straight, honest answer. Did you just get in?"
He wasn't expecting this. "Uh, yeah."
"Fine, I'll talk to you tomorrow."
The phone connection was dead and suddenly his emotions felt the same way.

A pasta salad should be easy. It should be a just-throw-the-ingredients-in-a-bowl kind of summer food that doesn't require too much messing around.
With that in mind, we designed this salad to be just that. We do a quick boil of the pasta, and we throw in the veggies to blanch during the last 2 minutes. This simple trick saves you a pot to wash and an extra step.
Then we add some flavor in the way of salty prosciutto and sweet melon, and you've got a classic Italian pairing turned into summer side dish. Of course, because it's pasta salad, the combinations really are limitless. You can substitute any shape pasta you prefer. Switch out the prosciutto for bacon or salami, green beans for the asparagus, peaches for the cantaloupe. The great thing about pasta salad is that it's so easy to make it yours.
Prosciutto, Cantaloupe and Orecchiette Salad
Serves eight.
16 ounces orecchiette pasta
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
4 ounces prosciutto, cut into thin strips
1 cup diced cantaloupe
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Salt and ground black pepper
Shaved Parmesan cheese

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!! Followed the recipe exactly. Took the suggestion of another reviewer and served over cornbread with a green salad on the side. SOoooo good! Husband agreed it was great. Next time, I will make it in a slow cooker for the baking part. It is well suited to that.

The world's first short movie on fugitive former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden has catapulted a group of amateur filmmakers in Hong Kong into the international spotlight.
The five minute feature which was filmed over four days on a budget of $542 USD has attracted over 150,000 views on social media website YouTube, and has been featured on news outlets globally.
Named after Snowden's alias, 'Verax' focuses on the whirlwind of Snowden's secretive stay Hong Kong, after he fled there from the U.S. on May 20.
From the five star hotel Mira, Snowden leaked details of top-secret U.S. and British government mass surveillance program such as PRISM, to the press, primarily London's The Guardian.
Freelance film-maker, Edwin Lee, sprang into action two days after a video interview of Snowden was posted on The Guardian website, revealing he was in Hong Kong, sparking a media frenzy.
The former journalist said the group of four co-directors and co-producers debated creating a spoof or an action film, but instead opted for a more measured approach.

He told Sky News, "You know what, I don't think it was explicit at all. You couldn't see anything! I watched it just as an experiment, to check. But obviously you look at it and you go, 'What's everyone shouting about?' ... I know she is dancing with Robin Thicke at the awards -- so what? Come on! We've seen worse than that."

This is completely random and off-topic, but I wanted to toss it out there for anyone to answer:
What do you guys feel about a talent in the marksmanship tree that would effectively boost marskmanship dps by the hunter by about 20%, but make it so that you can't summon or have a pet?
I've thought about this many times. There is no pure ranger/rifleman type class in wow; everyone who shoots a bow and arrow for a living has a pet out. When you think of the Marskmanship tree, that always seemed to me to be the most ranger-like tree out there. Now with camouflage, having that stealthy/sniper type seems even more of a viable option.
Just wondering what everyone thinks.
Grovinofdarkhour said...
The logical extension of this is what I refer to as "The Big Question": Which is the "most quintessential thing" about the hunter class: the ranged physical damage, or the pets?
I tend to agree that it's the ranged part, not the pet part. On that basis, it would certainly be cool if there were a viable no-pet option. But as it seems Blizzard 'wants' us to always have our pet out, if they ever did offer a no-pet option, there would be a penalty. It should probably not be available in BM as it would defeat the purpose, and in the other trees, maybe take away the pet and boost us by three quarters of our pet's damage (in aggregate, a 25% pet damage penalty).
I really don't think it'll ever happen, but it's fun to think about.
There would have to be a penalty, and a substantial one. They'd have to balance around the loss of DPS, for example, that we get when our pet dies. If they didn't balance it well, and there was a clear advantage to going pet-less, then that could result in almost no-one running with a pet, thus radically changing the Hunter class as a whole. (This isn't a new idea, of course, and as far as I know, Blizz hasn't shown any signs of considering implementing it.)

Perfect Wedding Dress I recently bought this wedding dress. I put it on and it was perfect. I got it in Ivory and its just so perfect. A warning if you are looking at this dress. It doesn't view the back of the dress. It is all lace up on the top, which means that there are about 30 to 40 small little buttons. My maid of Honor is already asking me to come an hour early so we have time to button it. March 15, 2011
Very Flattering I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dress. I shopped online and decided that I wanted to see this dress in the store. Tried it on and fell in love. I bought the dress and took it to Vegas. The dress was so flattering with the cap sleeves and the roaching in front. You have to try this dress on.... March 15, 2011
Love this Dress! I love the idea of lace and this dress is wonderful. It has the great back that the website doesn't show off. It is so figure flattering and I can't wait to wear it for my May 2011 wedding! I love that it has the sleeves that make you feel controlled and that you wont fall out. I am sooo excited to wear this in 55 days! March 13, 2011
Gorgeous I have been looking at this gown online for months, so when I got engaged, I just knew I had to try this one on. It was the 2nd gown that they brought me to try on, and as soon as I saw myself in it, I knew it was the one. Being self conscious about my body, I was nervous to begin with that I wouldn't find a dress that made me feel pretty and like a bride, but this dress made me feel beautiful and I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day.

Classes are in full swing at University of Hawaii, Manoa, and we all know how congested traffic can be to and from campus.
"The traffic is crazy and that is why I end up walking to school," said Rie Miyoshi, UH senior.
Now there's a new option for those who go car-less, but occasionally, need a set of wheels. Enterprise Rent-a-Car and UH, this week, launched the "WeCar" program.
This will allow students, faculty, and campus approved businesses to have the option to rent an hybrid car located on campus by the hour.
"It is very inexpensive, we have cars as low as $10 an hour," said Crysttal Atkins, Transportation Demand Management Coordinator, Commuter Services.
"It is meant to be another alternative, so people don't have to bring their car every day and fight for a parking place," remarked Atkins.
Atkins said once you sign up it is really easy. You will get a card in the mail, the "WeCar" card, and it gives you access to three hybrid cars housed on campus. These cars have their own parking spots. When you are visiting the Mainland and go to places with "We Cars," Atkins said you can rent cars there, too.
Students so far are giving the "WeCar" two thumbs up.
"I am super excited about the 'WeCar!" said Miyoshi, while giving two thumbs up.
At first, UH will have three cars for rent on a first come; first serve basis. If the program catches on, you could see more of these WeCars out on the road.
Click HERE for more information on how to be a part of the "WeCar" program. You have to be at least 21 years old and have a valid drivers' license.

Pros: I like that it has the Beatle cove3r but I do not like the fram it is on.If I wanted a Fox or a Golf I would buy one.

While practicing yoga this morning, we realized (with a bit of embarrassment) that it had been awhile since we'd cleaned or wiped down my mat. For a deep cleaning, warm water and mild soap works, but what we really need is a daily spray we can use to wipe down my mat after every use. We know there are "yoga mat washes" out there we can purchase, but honestly, $10 seems like a bit of a rip-off. So, we set out to find a DIY recipe for our own all-natural mat cleaner:
Here are two easy and inexpensive recipes:
Recipe #1:
- Three drops of tea tree oil
- Two drops of peppermint oil
- Two drops of lavender oil
- Distilled water
Recipe #2
This is for a stronger antibacterial/antifungal spray.
- 1 part warm water with 3 parts white vinegar
- Add 8-12 drops of essential oils like eucalyptus, lemongrass, lavender, mint, or tea tree oil
For both solutions, mix thoroughly and place the solution in a spray bottle.
Spray Cleaning Instructions:
1. Spray your yoga mat cleaner liberally over the surface of your mat. If your mat seems especially dirty, let the cleanser sit and soak in a bit before cleaning it off.
2. Wipe the yoga mat with a wet cloth or sponge. When the cleanser has been thoroughly removed, rub the mat down with a soft dry cloth, like a small towel or washcloth. Now repeat on the other side.
3. Allow your mat to air dry, which should take only about 5 to 10 minutes. If it takes longer than this, try rubbing your mat down more with the towel to remove the excess water and speed up the drying time.

If you have space to hang your mat out to dry, yoga mats do well in the washing machine too.
I make my own lavender water for ironing and freshening clothes and it works great for my yoga mat too -- the addition of vodka to the distilled water and essential oil provides deodorizing, germ killing and cleaning power.
I use a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar. Works very well. Too lazy to bother with the essential oils, but I'm sure they make a nice addition.
You can also toss into a front-loading washing machine. I do this every few months and then line dry.
I use one of those mat-sized yoga towels on top of my mat. It keeps me more stable in my poses. I just roll it up with my mat and wash it as needed.
1. Why does re nest advocate use of non biodegradable yoga mat?
2- and even if u did an article on how to clean...why is it that there is not a single mention of whether it is synthetic or not...ever yoga mat sold in stores is 100%polymer
3. Please mention such things so that people are not mis lead
I worked at a Pilates studio for a while and we used a few drops of tea tree oil and a few drops of Dr. Bronner's soap at the bottom of a spray bottle. Then we would fill the bottle with water to dilute the soap. Just a light spritz and voila! Clean Pilates mats!
Wow, this is a great idea. I'm so glad I saw this. Thank you for posting! :)

We make a serious mistake when we become so attached to the preaching or writing of a great Christian leader that we accept his teaching without daring to examine it. No man is that important in the kingdom of God. We should follow men only as they follow the Lord and we should keep an open mind lest we become blind followers of a man whose breath is in his nostrils.
No Christian leader but has his blind spot, his unconscious prejudices, and these will influence his teachings. We will have plenty of our own without weakly accepting those of our teachers.
What then shall we do? Learn from every holy man who exercises a ministry toward us, be grateful to every one of them and thankful for all, and then follow Christ. No free believer should ever sell his freedom to another. No Christian is worthy to be the master of other Christians. Christ alone is worthy to be called Master; there is no other.

breakfast place in central NJ?
Looking for a place for breakfast especially one
that makes fresh pancakes and waffles with real fruit not like the stuff from IHOP.
The Turning Point is a NJ-only mini-chain that serves breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Acc. to their website, they have locations in four central NJ towns. I've never tried it, but I've read some positive reports about the food on another food forum. The menu appears to have what you are looking for.
re: RGR
I've been to the Turning Point in Holmdel many times. While not outstanding, I find the sandwiches, soup, salads to be consistently good and fresh. They have some nice items, like loose tea served in pots. I have never had the pancakes. The staff is always nice. All in all, it's a good place for a good, relaxing meal. You can check the menu on the web site.
The Holmdel location is very popular. If you go, expect to wait for a table. They don't take reservations.
Central Jersey is a pretty big place so if you could be more specific about location it would help. The Turning Point locations are all in the eastern section.
I actually had some good pancakes at the IHOP on Parsonage Road in Edison. The trick was to go when they weren't busy (I would stop on the way to work, well before the rush which seemed to start around 8 AM). I did notice that if I showed up later, or on a weekend, the pancakes were not that great. I guess the cook didn't work well under stress!
re: flourgirl
Jersey is pretty lacking when it comes to breakfast places. Most people "settle" for diners. Otherwise, I would have to agree with the above posters that Le Peep and Turning Point are two of the best choices in Central Jersey. A little bit north but worth the trip IMHO is the Original Pancake House in West Caldwell. Also, although not a breakfast place per se, the best breakfast I have ever had in NJ was the sunday brunch at the Short Hills Hilton. Food for thought. Good Luck.
re: bgut1
If that brunch was in The Dining Room at the Hilton, note that the restaurant has closed. The Terrace Room remains open.
Your mention of Short Hills reminded me that not far from there, in Maplewood, is Verjus, a French restaurant with very good food. We've only been there for dinner, but they do serve Sunday brunch. It's a $20 prix-fixe, and the menu includes French toast with fresh fruit and a caramelized apple pancake. Service is friendly and the decor is very attractive.
In North Long Branch, North Beach Grill. Best breakfast place ever. In Monmouth Beach, the Kitchen Witch on Beach Road. In Little Silver, Felicia's.
re: fershore
fershore - Wow. So many places right nearby that I've never heard of. Thanks!!! If North Beach Grill is your favorite breakfast place, I will definitely try it real soon.
re: fershore
In Little Silver I have always gone to Edies. Although pretty much a dive its still my go to breakfast place.
re: taboni
Wow......never heard anyone describe Edie's as a "dive". Not many places such as Edie's left in Monmouth County. Not a bad breakfast served....simple but good.
re: fershore
Now this is embarassing. I live mere feet from North Beach Grill and have never tried it. I pass it on the way to Amy's. Next time I'll stop in. Do they do brkfst and lunch?
Is Felicia's across the street from the A&P?
Kitchen Witch is that in the small shopping center with the chinese place and dry cleaners? Businesses come and go in there.
re: tom porc
North Beach Grill is one of those places where you feel at home. You can go healthy (fresh-squeezed veggie or fruit juice, fresh fruit, homemade granola, egg white omelet) or not (potato pancakes, loaded waffles). My husband loves the loaded bagel w/salmon. They'll make whatever you like. Go for a blackboard special quesadilla (maybe lobster and spinach). They're open everyday except Tuesday, from very early to 2 or 3 and serve breakfast and lunch.
Felicia's is across the street from A & P near the back by LS Seafood. It's got that old-world coffee shop vibe.
Kitchen Witch is not in the shopping center, but across the street, next door to Wachovia. They have tables outside. You park behind it or on Beach Road. I'd call it gourmet comfort food. Last summer, they opened a tiny takeout market next door, which was very convenient on the way home from work.
re: fershore
Thanks very much. I will definately try North Beach Grill soon. I imagine it gets crowded in the summer.
We usu shop at the A&P in LS so I will take note of Felicia's next time we're there.
re: fershore
fershore, thanks for pointing out North Beach Grill. After a mountain bike tour at Huber Woods a few miles up, we checked out North Beach Grill this morning. And yes, I fully agree with your statement that you feel at home. Nice outside seating, friendly and efficient service and reasonably priced. The fresh squeezed orange juice is really tasty. I had an omlette that was fluffy, just the right texture with ingredients sauteed just to the point. Coffee is good but nothing special.
Certainly worth coming back.
re: FoodFetish
We are always looking for places with nice outside seating and, of course, good food. We don't generally do breakfast out, so presuming North Beach Grill serves lunch and dinner, has anyone tried it for those meals? What kinds of things are on those menus?
Googling around, I did not find anything about NBG, but I did come across a place called Charley's Ocean Grill. Has anyone been there?
re: RGR
I think you would like it. It is a "local" place, no outdoor seating or views of the ocean. I usually order the sea bass which this is the only place I usually order it from. They give you a salad with your meal, and one of the choices is a salad with all chopped hard boiled eggs (that I love!)
Simple food. Nothing outrageous. My husband enjoys the steaks there. I just hate when they serve the baked potatoes, and then they come back with one of those 1970's tray with sour cream, chives, and bacon bits on it. That is such a thing of the past! That is the only thing that probably bothers me.
Other than that, I still like it. More for casual food. Don't go there thinking it is on a high caliber, just good standard food in a warm setting! :)
The service is very good also!!
re: Angelina
Thanks for the info, Angelina! I wasn't expecting Charley's to be haute cuisine. I'm all in favor of solidly-prepared casual food, good service, and pleasant atmospherics. Since it isn't easy to find restaurants with those traits very close to our house, we may give Charley's a try. Oh, and a major plus -- it's not Italian! :-))
P.S. I just took a closer look at the menu. They've got "real" Key Lime pie. That settles it! We're going....
re: RGR
RGR - Since your a fan of key lime pie, I was wondering whether you would like a copy of my "ultimate" recipe. Its not too hard and I have been told its the best that anyone has ever had ... even better than the world famous Joe's Stone Crab in Miami Beach. Let me know and I will email you a copy.
re: bgut1
Thanks for the generous offer, bgut1! Though I haven't made one in a very long time, I do have a couple of good recipes. However, since you say your "ultimate" version has garnered raves, perhaps you could post it on the Home Cooking board.
P.S. I've never been to Joe's Stone Crab. :-o
re: RGR
A word of caution about Charley's. There seems to have been a change in the kitchen over the last several months. I think there is a new owner, at least that seems to be in my fuzzy memory. There used to be nice fish dishes on the menu, now few if any. The last time my guy ordered the monkfish and said it "lacked something." The piece I tried was plenty salty, buttery and sweet-ish. Not bad but not real good, either. No softshells either on the last several visits.
Charley's has had is share of ups and downs over the years. I'm sorry to say that we seem to going into one of the down periods.
re: Deb Van D
Deb, It sounds as though you've been to Charley's fairly recently. Acc. to the website, a new owner took over in May 2005. Of course, it could have turned over again since then. If you've noticed a downhill slide, I may rethink going there.
re: RGR
R, I'm looking over my notes now, and it looks like it has been slipping for awhile. Last November my guy had a pepperpot soup and a pork chop and pronounced them "eh.' Another time his chicken marsala was "okay." In April I had a chicken, sausage and pasta dish that was perfectly mediocre. Ah, a bright note on May 19, I see that Bob enjoyed a "nice" chicken soup.
That may not be enough to draw you there--and frankly I'm afraid you would be disappointed. The menu doesn't have a lot that appeals and if there aren't softshell crabs I'd rather not spend the entree prices. I usually opt for the $9 lasagna, which is, well, it's lasaga and for $9 I can take a joke.
I sorry, I wish it were better, because it is just so darned convenient for us. But I sure wouldn't drive halfway across the county for it.
re: Deb Van D
Thanks, Deb, for that further elucidation. At this point, you know me all too well! lol I'll take a pass for now.
re: RGR
I'm not sure whether I've been to Charley's since May 2005 (its been a couple of years), but for a period from 1987-1995 I ate there pretty frequently with my in-laws who were regulars. I never, ever, ever order prime rib anywhere because nowhere could the prime rib stand up to the one served at Charley's -- it was really that good. The fish selections were also usually very fresh and good, although Deb's post puts into question whether this is still true. I'm way overdue for a return visit and, if I get there before you, I'll post.
re: Angelina
I just came back from dinner with the family at Charley's. With all due respect to Angelina, I must admit the meal was very bad. There were few redeeming qualities if any. A little background. There were seven people in my party. Me, my DW, my in-laws and my three young children. We reviewed the menu online and even called ahead to make sure our kids would not be a problem and that they had kid sized/friendly items. Although we were disappointed that they didn't serve fried items (no fryer) we decided we could make due. Off to the restaurant. First Impressions. The room was a little nicer than anticipated. I was thinking pub but in this case the tables had linens with white butcher paper. On the other hand I wasn't expecting the room to be so small and loud. While not a fault of the restaurant, some gentleman stood up for literally 15 minutes giving a speech to a large party as if it was a private function. I guess no one (including me) had the nerve to get up and tell him he was interfering with our meals. Before I get to the food, I do want to acknowledge the excellent waitress we had. She was exceptional. When you dine with 3 young kids you truly monopolize the waiter/waitress' time. We were very appreciative of her help. Okay - the food. In a word - horrible. Only two appetizers were ordered, the mussels with garlic bread and the chicken wings. While the mussels were plentiful and plump, the garlic bread that came with it was coated in that minced garlic that comes in jars. It was horrid. And what did they do to that broth? What usually is a white wine, butter and garlic goodness at the bottom of the bowl was this indescribable mess of chopped clams and some milky garlic sauce of some kind. How could they do this to those beautiful mussels? I didn't taste the wings however grilling or baking them no longer makes them Buffalo wings in my eyes. This was for my DW and she didn't comment positively or negatively about them. Next came the salads. Nothing remarkable. Fresh greens and cherry tomatoes with chopped egg and baby shrimp. My in-laws commented that theirs dressed with blue cheese dressing was inedible. Entrees. I ordered a Mahi Mahi special which was coated with a "spicy blend of seasonings" resting atop vegetables, My DW ordered sesame encrusted tuna while my in-laws ordered the crab cakes and chicken pot pie. For the good news, my fish was well prepared and tasty. The Creole (?) sauce underneath however ruined the fish. My wife's tuna steak tasted funny and was send back (something I confirmed). My mother in law also sent back her pot pie. While it looked good to me, she complained that it contained dark meat only. I thought she should have inquired before she ordered and was a little embarrassed about the double return. While my father in law enjoyed his crab cakes, I tasted them and found them to be quite bad. They were overly seasoned and mushy. One final note, my sons' hot dog was good with a nice snap. It seemed to be the same ones served at the windmill. My other sons' lasagna was passable at best. I'm sorry but I found few things to like about Charley's. I doubt if I will ever return.
re: bgut1
I am SO SORRY, bgut!!! Honestly, I would have never went on about his place had I known what a bad experience you would have. I have never ordered any app. there, so I can't say anything about that. I would never tell anyone about a place thta was really bad!
(I know now you must hate my pics..ha! ha! i.e. Le Fandy, Charlie's)
Just kidding! Are you going to put me on your block list? :) :)
I am so sorry you had a dissappointing meal, though. I promise, I will find the restaurant of all restaurants for you :) :)
(Thank heavens we both enjoy Shipwreck!)
re: Angelina
Angelina - Don't worry .... I don't blame you at all. You provide a great service to the Chowhound community by providing your reviews and comments. Somtimes the stars don't align and things don't workout. Furthermore, we may have completely different tastes. Keep coming with the recommendations!!! Its all part of the fun in living .... disovering new places. BTW - do I still bother with Jake's (we almost tried it last night) and NBG?
re: Angelina
North Beach Grill
re: Angelina
Sorry double post.
re: RGR
RGR, North Beach Grill is not open for dinner. Their lunch menu includes a number of wrap sandwiches, called pipelines, and other traditional lunch fare. They always have a lot of specials with a wide variety of quesadillas with interesting ingredients, such as lobster and spinach. They'll put anything you want in a wrap or quesadilla. They'll create any type of salad you want. They serve breakfast all day. They're closed Tuesdays.
About Charley's, I had the same thoughts as other posters: that you might be disappointed knowing your tastes and preferences. We've been regulars there for years and have never had a bad meal. We know our way around the menu. The kitchen staff hasn't changed, only the owner. Their steaks, burgers, muscles, and scallops are excellent. We love the Bermuda fish chowder and the sushi-grade tuna served over mesclun greens. The salad is served with a different homemade vinaigrette every day. I've heard the crab cakes are good. I avoid chicken and fish dishes that have sauces. I think they may use a chicken stock base that offends my palate. All the comfort food choices are very good if not exceptional: beef stroganoff, lasagna, meatballs and pasta, and my fave chicken pot pie (you'll take home half), all under $9. The house salad that someone mentioned comes with shrimp and egg. I had their ribs recently and they were good, not great (hard to compete with Jack's up the road a bit). All the specials come with soup and salad.
If you go on the weekend, the host Pete will take your drink order as he seats you. We love this and it helps the servers out as well. If you order any type of martini, it's served with the shaker on the side. In essence, you get two drinks for the price of one at any other local joint.
For us, the jury is still out on Ted the new owner. He values the regulars and hasn't changed the menu much though I've heard that he wants to renovate and put in a fryer. He says that he wants to have more fresh local seafood. The old staff has stayed on and that says something. Most of them have been there for a long time and are good at making recommendations.
They have a nice selection of wines by the glass.
We're usually too full for dessert but recently couldn't resist. The waitress assured me that all the desserts were homemade; the recipes are the previous owner's (Joanne) family recipes. I had apple cake with hard sauce that tasted just like my grandmother's.
Regarding the potato fixin's, I'll bet the bacon is fresh.
I hope you reconsider and give it a try.
re: fershore
Thanks, fershore, for your detailed post. As I've said many times, I'm not wedded to haute cuisine. In fact, most of the restaurants my husband and I go to do not fall into that category. What I do look for above all else is solidly-prepared, very tasty food. Your view of Charley's does seem to conflict with Deb's that it's gone downhill. At this point, I'm still not convinced that it's worth trying. But at some point, that could change.
re: tom porc
I'm also embarassed to admit that I've lived in the area for quite sometime and have never tried Charley's, Jack's or North Beach Grill. My "food" trips to Long Branch had only included Richard's, TastiDLite, and Amy's. It goes to show you how sometimes we live with blinders on. The next time I am lamenting the loss of the Southern House in P.P. (and maybe until that new BBQ place opens up), I'll suggest Jack's to my DW for ribs. Same thing for Charley's instead of the dreaded Chili's/Ruby Tuesday for the kids. BTW, will NBG be able to handle young kids or am I relegated to diners/amy's for breakfast? Thanks everyone.
re: fershore
Feeling great about my meal the night before at One 53, I decided to push my luck and take the fam to NBG. While driving there my DW said, "oh no, not another Chowhound place!" Yup - sorry. I had to do it. :) Anyway, we arrived sometime after 9:30 AM and the place was full both inside and out. Luckily we got a table pretty quick. While I was disappointed with the meal, I must note that I was impressed with the effort put out by the kitchen. The fact that many of the items are fresh (the OJ) and homemade (the granola) is laudable. On the other hand the service was pretty bad. While our server was very nice, there were too many mistakes. For example, it took way too long for our food to come out. We ordered three omelettes and a waffle. What should have taken 10 to 15 minutes took a half hour. My kids were going crazy. Second example, while delivering the food, a server dropped our toast and it took three reminders to our server before we finally got it and well after we finished the meal. As for the food, my whole wheat waffle with granola and berries was excellent. My wife and kids omelettes were disappointing however as they were small and lacked sufficient filling. My DW's in fact was missing tomatoes and had only trace amounts of cheese in it. The final straw was the cost - $50 for two adults and two young kids. The reason - no kids breakfasts (odd considering we were presented with a kids menu containing only lunch items). We had to order adult sized portions for them. One other thing - do you realize they don't serve pancakes? I found out they do in fact serve them for kids but not adults. Almost a deal breaker for one of my kids before we were able to convince him to have eggs. My DW believes that they don't have sufficent griddle space to make them. So while I beleive this place has some potential, I think in some respects I like the food at Amy's better. I may give NBG another try on a week day and with only the spouse. Sorry guys,
re: bgut1
Sorry you had that experience. Another time when you are in the mood to try a place in the general area, check out Kitchen Witch on Beach Road in Monmouth Beach. They do a very nice job at breakfast. I've heard good things about the dinners, too (byo), and my nabes rave about the take away dinners, too. Haven't tried that yet, but she has a nice-looking menu.
re: ieee488
ieee488 - Its been years since I've been to Le Peep but I recall they had these great breakfast skillet dishes. Enjoy and please let us know how it went.
re: ieee488
Well, now that I know your geographic preference I also know that I don't have many recs. for you! I too have heard good things about Le Peep though none of the comments involved pancakes or waffles.
If you're adventurous and have some time on the weekend, drive west to the Cafe at Rosemont (in the New Hope/Lambertville area) and enjoy their weekend brunch. I don't know about pancakes and waffles but their French toast is outstanding! I have a friend who lives near Monroe and makes the pilgrimage twice a month.
re: gudeatz
Can you please be more specific about location. I'm guessing it's west of Wood Avenue but if it's buried in a shopping center it will be hard to find. Thanks!
re: Pink Pepper
What about Princeton--P.J's Pancakes is a local institution, there and if you want college life, you can't get any better than that!
re: veganish
If you can get to the Turning Point, go to the Turning Point. Their breakfast is awesome and in the summer at the Pier Village location you can sit outside(and Little SIlver too but only like 2 tables right on the street). There is also a Turning Point in Manalapan in the same shopping center on Rt 9 as Wegmans and Target. They make these pancakes with zucchini and apples and walnuts...omg so good. You can also get a waffle version.
re: michelinaO
Try The Dish Cafe in Highland Park. They expanded this year and their breakfast menu is the most extensive around, omelettes, breakfast burrito's, great home fries and coffee. Very busy place.
re: sharpfried
In Brielle right before the Rt. 35 Bridge into Pt. Pleasant - The Mariners Cove Most people know it as "The Omellete Place" has the msot amazing breakfast creations, its teeny weenie and apcks up quickly but worth the wait!!! I second the Sunset Landing as well.
re: stack_c
Also try Amy's Omlette House in Long Branch - same owners and menu as Mariners Cove.
re: stack_c
Re: Brielle Omellete Place:
stack c, I think that you are referring to Eloise's Cafe, http://tinyurl.com/2tvnfe . I ate there recently, and, with all due respect, I disagree with the buzz about this place. I was there for brunch and ordered a fried fish sandwich with homefries. The fish was fried nicely, and the standard Kaiser roll was fresh, but the home fries were awful. First of all, they were deep fried, which means that they're not even homefries at all. Second, they must have been re-fried three times-rock hard little chunks of dark brown potato. As for the amazing creations. I seem to recall one or two somewhat funky breakfast specials. My wife had scramble eggs, which she said were just OK.
The waitresses were all very nice. I would give it another try.
Does anyone know about a little breakfast joint in a tiny strip center on Route 71, northbound side, between Sea Girt and Spring Lake Hts somewhere (just north of the Sea Girt Ave. intersection)? The name escapes me right now.
RIP Siderorff's.
re: soigne
I know which place you are talking about but it is def. different. The Mariners Cove is right at the intersection of 71 and 35. Bgut1 is right it is the same owners as Amys Omlettes.
re: stack_c
Cool. I will give it a try as good breakfast joints are so hard to come by. I can say this with some authority as I was an "eggman" for a year in a cafe in Salt Lake City that was (and still is, I believe) beloved for its breakfasts and weekend brunch.
Goo goo ga joob.
I used to live in Woodbridge and the Reo Diner was the place to have breakfast. Incredible diner food. Very crowded on Saturday & Sunday a.m. though. Go a bit later and you have a better chance of getting seated.
Also, IHOP on Parsonage is better also a bit later. You come around 10 and you'll wait for 45 minutes easy, Worse on Sunday than Saturday I found. I always thought they were great.
re: RisaG
I recalled reading on this board that the Reo Diner had new owners and things have gone downhill. A search found this thread: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/413145

Laura designed and pieced this 59½" X 67½" contemporary quilt that's easy enough for a confident beginner! With a look similar to a Drunkards Path design, this quilt was created by fusing quarter circles to squares and half circles to rectangles. The blocks were sewn into vertical rows with alternate rows being half-dropped to achieve the resulting pattern. Once rows were sewn together into pairs, the curved edges were machine appliquéd using a buttonhole stitch (or stitch of your choice) so that the stitching could be completed in one continuous line. The five border strips were sewn together into sets and each corner mitered as one unit.
Deb Jacobs machine quilted this quilt with an overall design. To emphasize the curved pieces even more, each quarter and half circle could be echo quilted within each piece. The motifs in the outer border could also be quilted by stitching around the edge of each one. Just follow the lines!

The NME ran a poll last year to find the greatest Bowie song.
The song that readers topped the poll with was this, a song he wrote not for himself but Mott the Hoople:
with the rest of the chart being:
4. Heroes
7. Space Oddity
8. Starman
9. Five Years
10. The Man Who Sold The World
11. Stay
14. Young Americans
16. Time
17. Changes
18. Wild is the Wind
19. Sound and Vision
20. Let's Dance
What's your favourite Bowie song?
Personally I'm surprised Rebel Rebel wasn't in the NME top 20....or Jean Genie.....Golden Years....Fashion.....
Let me know your favourite in the comments and if we get enough of a consensus (bearing in mind he's written so many), we'll have it as the final Daily Bit of Bowie next Monday.
