I'd definitely go but I've already got tickets for Cornell-Michigan at MSG on Saturday so I'll be going there. If anyone wants their hockey fix, they can get tickets to that since they aren't outrageous price wise on some of the secondary sites.
I really want to go to that, but I can't make it.

He's going to have to come up with a clever way of doing it. FedEx isn't going to work this time.
Also, more progress has been made in Mantoloking, pretty impressive turnover for 3 weeks
Pictures for contrast/comparison
Do they know for sure if this area will ever be the same really? (i.e. is the character of the beach before the "split" eroded so much that the next big storm will just wash h2o into that area again or has it replenished itself)

Well the beach wasn't exactly large pre storm (see picture below), but my guess would be they'll dump sand where the water meets the sand now to try and extend it somewhat
What is interesting about where that part of the new inlet was formed, was apparently where an old inlet was prior to the bridge being built in the 1800s and people were pushing to keep the inlet now as it is (why I couldn't tell you)

2 reasons:
1. Mother Nature obviously thinks that inlet should be there, she's gonna win out time and time again. It's arrogant to think you're going to build in her way.
2. People who live on the bayside, would have a much much quicker trek to the ocean. It would take me 15 minutes to get to the ocean as opposed to the hour it does now, and I'm moored at the mouth of the canal - essentially the shortest path to the ocean from that the Barnegat north of say the 37 Bridge.

From a boaters standpoint, absolutely its gotta suck having to trek down to the inlet by the lighthouse to get to the ocean
Mother nature may think that way and from that standpoint it makes sense not to built in its path again, but then with the surge we saw occur, now it may or may not be as bad in future storms, but that inlet being allowed there allows for the water to surge in far more easy and could flood the bay quicker and cause worse flooding to the streets/homes behind the bay
Well yeah repairing the barrier is a must from the standpoint of protecting the folks inland. The house I grew up in was 6 blocks off the bay, 2 from the canal and 4 or 5 from the swamp/creek. 2 feet of water.
Can't imagine what that would've been had that been a full on inlet at the start. But even that spot, like the island, just isn't a place we should be building **** on, it's going to get swept away again and again.

Unfortunately there really isn't a winnable situation out of keeping it or not
I hated the Sens the same way a lot of us hate the Hurricanes. From our pathetic showing on the last day of the regular season in 96 against them when we lost. All we had to do was win that game, and would have made it, and we lost in convincing fashion. He was on that team. Then the 98 playoffs, the 03 playoffs, and 07, and the time he fired the puck at Niedermayer in the 07 SCF. Not to mention our pathetic showing against them two weeks in a row late in 10/11. They were even worse than us that year!
I always respected him, but didn't like him. Sometime last year I actually started to like him, and the Senators. I had been coming around to him for a few years, but last year I put it aside.
FYI - if you're going to the after party (for the charity game in AC) at Dusk, we can confirm that jeans and sneakers will be allowed for people coming from the game.. No hats.. And if you do wear jeans/sneakers, try to wear darker colors since they normally don't allow that stuff.. Jerseys are also allowed
If they are going to do anything to it, tow it out to sea and let it become a natural reef.
This!!! I have been a Benny at Seaside Park for 48 years own a water logged cabin in the Park and want nothing to do with keeping it as a tourist attraction. None of the people I know from there thinks this is a good Idea AT ALL. Cut it up and drag it out to sea. Place a nice plaque on the boards with a good deal of info as a dedication. Spend the money they would have on rebuilding the boardwalk.

Doesn't matter. This was the fastest dump of sand on the shore ever. Three letters - DEP. Wait too long and all the enviro arguments arise to leave the new (old) inlet as carved. No one - homeowners, municipality - wanted the purple haired, duck booted ladies with too much time on their hands involved screwing things up.
On the other topic, the Hat Trick fundraiser, I didn't even hear about it until recently and would have love to have gone. Cornell v. Michigan at the Garden though, sold out. Real shame, whoever scheduled the AC event. Wake up and check the calendar. There really aren't that many conflicting hockey events given the strike and you hit one on the books for nearly a year with exactly the target donor audience you want. Alot of Red will be in the Garden tonight, not the Shore.

Any other day but today and I would have been at the game. Was hoping they'd possibly be able to do a game at Barclays since it's technically not an NHL arena yet but probably not since they're connected to the Isles now. I guess Izod could have been an option too.

where to begin on the stupidity of this idea
