It's official... The Little Falls Township Council approved a construction plan for the new Justice Complex. The Complex will house both the Police Department and Municipal Court and it will be attached to the existing Township Municipal Building.
The plan would exceed the $4.4 million the township borrowed for the work by only $300,000 whereas a competing plan would have overrun that number by $900,000.
A multitude of safety violations at the current Police and Municipal Court building on Stevens Avenue - built in 1914 - made the new facility a necessity.

WHAT IS FENG SHUI? You have probably experienced areas of your life that do not respond to your usual efforts. It is often these areas that respond best to feng shui. Among situations that can be successfully treated with feng shui are:
* selling or finding a home * creating a personal oasis at home or at work * protection from harmful intent of others * increasing wealth * renewing family harmony * assisting safe travel * enhancing health * overturning threatening situations * activating career changes * promoting the recognition you deserve * rekindling romance * liberating creativity * developing a business style to bring in more customers * many others
Feng shui is more than moving furniture for good luck... What if you could compel the power which moves the oceans and lights up the sun to enter your living room or office and bring you health, happiness, wealth and good relationships? Over 5000 years ago, the Chinese discovered that you can. They then developed an intricate system of ways to put one's personal or business environment in harmony with these great forces and thus benefit daily from the blessings received. Their system is called feng shui (pronounced "fung shway").
It includes the placement of one's home or business on the building site, the arrangement of furnishings within the home and office and the purposeful design of interiors and landscapes to enhance chi, the life-giving energy. Taken to it's deepest level, feng shui creates external environments to enhance the journey of the soul.
Feng shui is an environmental medicine creating the frequencies which stimulate well-being. It places the ordinary items of your daily material reality, such as plants, furniture, lighting and color, in positions which create a harmonic resonance with good fortune. Feng shui gets results!
Rate your present level of satisfaction (very blessed, tolerable, suffering) in the Nine Life Endeavors:
--Career --Self-Knowledge --Family --Wealth --Recognition --Marriage --Children or Creative Output --Helpful People --Health If you find your life lacking in any of these areas, you may benefit from a Feng Shui adjustment. This can be as simple and fun as rearranging your furniture or as big as moving to a new house. The way your house is sited and how your furnishings sit, directly affects every part of your life for good or ill.
Because the life force, called chi, is the bearer of all blessings, we must invite it into our homes and workplaces and give it a smooth course to travel inside. If we make the way for good circulation of chi, our lives will become healthier in every way. We now know scientifically what has always been known spiritually, that everything is connected, and any part of creation affects every other part of the whole. Chi, though invisible to the naked eye, can be recognized by the material results manifest in our homes, bodies and lives.
If you are suffering financially, for example, it could be that the "wealth" corner of your home is piled with unused goods, thus causing obstruction in the flow of chi. Perhaps you have lost a relationship or had trouble making friends. This could be due to an unusual shape of your house, such as a missing "marriage" or "helpful people" section. What can you do if your home and life are not filled with chi blessings? There are hundreds of simple feng shui adjustments that are fun, easy and which bring amazing results.
It does not matter if you believe feng shui to be superstition. It can still work for you if done correctly. At worst, you will have engaged in a playful entertainment. At best, your whole life could take a turn for the better. What kind of situations can be helped by feng shui adjustments?
--troublesome neighbors --finding a job --selling a home --improving a relationship --earning more money --leaving a bad situation --making peace with family --career advancement --many others
What if I am not Chinese or Buddhist? Feng shui is adaptable to any spiritual tradition, for in essence, it is simply creating a physical prayer out of the material environment. Even if you prefer to consider life from a philosophical or scientific viewpoint alone, feng shui works. One does not have to "believe in" electricity in order to turn on the lights. With feng shui, a resonant vibratory field is created which draws like circumstances to itself. Your heartfelt intent, expressed through the words and gestures of any tradition is combined with the feng shui adjustments to form a powerful attracting force which draws your dreams into reality.

Since a few of you enjoyed my first Jersey Music post about that Jersey boy Bruce Springsteen and most people were more familiar with his later more mainstream work, I thought I'd share one of his more popular concert songs - which was included on his third album - Born to Run.
Jungleland
This is a poetic tale of life on the streets of New Jersey.
Springsteen and the E Street Band performed this live for over a year before they recorded it. It developed into a longer song with a grand sax solo when it was finally released.
This features the piano of Roy Bittan. He joined The E Street Band for Born To Run after playing in orchestra pits on Broadway.
This was a highlight of Springsteen's 1999 reunion tour with The E Street Band. The tour went very well, and the band continued to play and record together.
Here is the song performed live in NYC in 2001 and featuring the sax solo of the "Big Man" Clarence Clemons
And the lyrics
The rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine over the Jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance and disappear down Flamingo Lane
Well the Maximum Lawman run down Flamingo chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands
From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world
As we take our stand down in Jungleland
The midnight gang's assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign that brings this fair city light
Man there's an opera out on the Turnpike
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
Until the local cops, Cherry Tops, rips this holy night
The street's alive as secret debts are paid
Contacts made, they vanished unseen
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine
The hungry and the hunted explode into rock'n'roll bands
That face off against each other out in the street down in Jungleland
In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the D.J. plays
Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and they're gone
Beneath the city two hearts beat
Soul engines running through a night so tender in a bedroom locked
In whispers of soft refusal and then surrender in the tunnels uptown
The Rat's own dream guns him down as shots echo down them hallways in the night
No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light
Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
Between flesh and what's fantasy and the poets down here
Don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be
And in the quick of the night they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand but they wind up wounded, not even dead
