Kara Homes, a home builder based in East Brunswick, has constructed "Millionaire's Row," said the company's president, Mr.Zudi Karagjozi. He has promoted the development as a first: very-high-end homes, actually on New Jersey's oceanfront, only a 45-minute ferry ride from Manhattan. Mr.Karagjozi said he likes to think of the project as a renaissance for Sea Bright, a "restoration" of its period of highest elegance in the late 1800's when big names of the day -- Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, William Nelson Cromwell, Sir Thomas Lipton of World Cup racing fame -- summered there, engaging in chic festivites like an annual horse-drawn carriage race between Sea Bright and Long Branch.By 1870, the railroad had come through the little town, which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Shrewsbury River on the other. Sea Bright's barrier beach, which is the southern half of the Sandy Hook peninsula, had been purchased by its first developers, who brought in topsoil from Rumson Long Branch to smooth out the hilly dunes and began building enormous Victorian "cottages" and huge, sumptuous hotels.The half-dozen grand old hotels that once stood on the barrier beach are now gone, according to the Monmouth County historian, George H. Moss Jr., who has pored over their ledgers to find evidence of the past.
Mr. Moss has written a number of books about the area and published a pamphlet on Sea Bright's early history. He describes how people coming from New York by steamer in the 1840's and 1850's, when Nauvoo was still just Nauvoo, would disembark at the ocean House Hotel near the village and continue on if they wished to their favorite hotel in the more established Long Branch.???? Mr. Karagjozi and his architect, William Tagland, who is known for his work on Long Beach Island, say the new community will outshine what is available even in those highly affluent towns."When was the last time you heard of ocean front homes becoming available only 45 minutes from New York?" Mr. Karagjozi said,"This is going to be a whole neighbourhood of them, each one with incredible views and great amenities for relaxing and for entertaining."Mr.Karagjozi painted Sea Bright as potential "New Hamptons," providing an alternative to the famously gridlocked multihour drive along the Long Island Expressway from Manhattan to the Long Island resort communities.
The trip to Sea Bright is only about an hour by car, he said. The ferry from Manhattan runs frequently to nearby Highlands, Atlantic Highlands and Belford.Mr.Karagjozi, who has been promoting his company through radio and television advertising, founded Kara Homes in 1999. Three years later, it was named the fastest-growing building company in the country by the industry publication builder, Builder Magazine.The Kara founder said one thing the company always tries to do is develop neighbourhoods that are sensitive to the surrounding community -- not crowding homes onto property, but rather using designs that are compatible with what exists and having to local planner's wishes.The $2 million-plus homes which are constructed, most of them have already been sold."Getting out to the Hamptons has become difficult'"Karagjozi says. The trip from Manhattan to Sea Bright, on the other hand takes less than two hours by car and a mere 35 minutes ferry.For buyer Andrew Czujko, a New Jersey business owner, the Jersey shore location was just what he was looking for.Tradewinds' homes shouldn't lack for elegance. The houses will range from five to six bedrooms, with trickedout oceanfront properties
(featuring hardwood floors, designer ceramic tile and the ever important four-car garage) beginning at $3.8 million.
More modest oceanview homes will start at $2 million.The website is www.karahomes.com.
Is A Baby Allowed To Play In Its First Month?
What should you do to have a happy pregnancy? Many things you could do, but what most pregnant women rarely do is having a vacation. Get a life and try to relax a little bit. Or take an extended weekend just to refresh and recharge your batteries.Downtime is very important, and in a world where nearly all of us are tied to cell phones and lap tops, even away from the office, it is good to get away from it all from time to time. Having time to walk along the beach or play golf or even to stay inside and read a great book without interruptions can help us recharge our batteries.When the baby comes, your number one job is to be Mom. So, you will not have much time for yourself, at least not in the beginning when the baby depends on you for everything.
Capitalize on those spare moments of highly valued free time now.When you are refreshed, you are more effective and productive anyway. You will also be easier to get along with, and it will be easier for you to deal with others (even...

No, it wasn't about the surprises that came out of the Iowa caucus.

The report on 1/19/04 that focused on the necessity of Vitamin D in maintaining good health with the main source of the vitamin coming from the sun.The indoor tanning industry has been fighting to educate the public and the media for years about the advantages of UV light.
Planet Beach and tanning salons across the nation now have a partner in that fight, Dr. Michael Holick of Boston University.

The Wide Range of Maui Wedding Ceremonies
Whatever your religious affiliation, or whatever you'd like to experience, there is a Maui wedding ceremony that will suit you. A lot of people prefer the traditional Hawaiian wedding ceremony and there is an interesting tale to tell about that.
Since the early Hawaiians had no written language, a traditional Hawaiian wedding is nothing more than speculation. Some of the traditions have been handed down, from generation to generation, in stories and songs from the past. But other features are simply guesswork.
It is believed that the wedding ceremony was reserved for royalty but is now available for anyone who cares to use it. On Maui there are houses of worship for almost every religion on earth, churches, temples, etc. that can be adapted by lesser-known sects for an appropriate service. In addition, by bringing in your own religious person to perform the ceremony, you can be assured that your wedding vows will conform to whatever specifics your religion requires.

Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica
One of the ports of call for our Royal Caribbean cruiseship was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Probably the most famous site in the region is Dunn's River Falls and we chose to tour it on our own rather than through one of the cruiseship tours. Once we disembarked from the cruiseship, there were cabs and shuttlebuses available at the pier. Cabs to Dunn's River Falls were $22 US for a return trip. Cabs allowed 1-3 people per vehicle.
We were also told at the pier that small shuttlebuses also go to the Falls at $5.50 US per person. These were also based on return trips. The only problem with shuttlebuses was that we had to wait until they filled up the shuttle before leaving for the Falls so since we were the first on the bus, we had to wait about 15 minutes for it to fill up. The driver then asks you when you want to be picked up at the Falls for the return trip. Our driver suggested 2 hours to see the Falls so we agreed on this time duration.Once at the Falls, a woman then came onboard the...
