Practice, Practice — It's Not About Being Perfect by Beth K. Vogt Ah, the agony and the ecstasy when my child performs! Am I the only mom who sits in the audience, a wretched mass of mixed emotions? Delight and dread twist together with equal parts enthusiasm and anxiety. I may have a calm, cool demeanor, but my husband knows I'm wishing I was anywhere but waiting for our child to take center stage. Thanks to my three much-older children, I've had years to figure out why I'm such a wreck when my child's selected to act in a school play or volunteers—volunteers!—to play piano for a school assembly. I'm a perfectionist. There. I've said it. As much as I believe my "Motherhood: Perfection Not Required" mantra, that doesn't mean I don't trip over the truth. My goal as a mom? To avoid passing the dreaded affliction of perfectionism on to my children. So when my 9-year-old signed up to play piano in chapel, I smiled. I listened to her practice for weeks. She played the song beautifully, albeit not perfectly. And she didn't think of backing out once. The morning of the performance, her dad and I sat in the auditorium with the other parents of children slated to perform, as well as all the students from kindergarten to fifth grade. My daughter sat at the piano — selected as the first one to play. Nerves were finally hitting her and she looked as awful as I felt. But I'd prepared her for this moment, despite my inner-angst. Here's what I'd told my daughter, who loves being center stage:
Beth K. Vogt and her husband experienced a double-dose of parenthood — three children in their 20s and a surprise fourth in their 40s. The author of Baby Changes Everything: Embracing and Preparing for Motherhood after 35, Beth edits Connections magazine.

Earlier this month, Governor George Pataki and the leaders of the state Legislature signed a Memorandum of Understanding establishing three new Empire Zones this year, including one here in Nassau County. In addition to Freeport, Nassau County's Empire Zone will assist business development in Roosevelt, Bethpage (at the former Grumman site). Glen Cove, Elmont, Inwood, New Cassel, Uniondale, West Hempstead and the village of Hempstead. Ellen Kelly, director of Freeport's Community Development Agency, told The Leader that the areas covered in the Empire Zone designation include the "North Main street corridor, the central commercial corridor [along Sunrise Highway and Merrick Road from Guy Lombardo Avenue heading east] and a large portion of the industrial park." The Empire Zone program utilizes a variety of tax incentives to stimulate economic growth and job creation. Qualified businesses located in an Empire Zone as well as businesses that relocate to an Empire Zone may be eligible for sales tax exemption, real property and business tax credits. In a press release issued by state Senator Charles Fuschillo, who supported Freeport's participation in the Empire Zone program, there are additional benefits, including wage tax credits and utility rate reductions "that enable a business to operate almost tax-free for up to 10 years, with additional savings available on a declining basis in years 11 through 15." "This is a great opportunity for the residents of Freeport to benefit from this valuable state program. It has been a long wait for this but now this area can expand existing businesses, attract new businesses and create much needed opportunities for employment," said Senator Fuschillo at a news conference earlier this month. He was joined with other state Senators from the Nassau delegation as well as Empire State Development Corporation Chairman Charles A. Gargano, Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi and Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray. Statewide, more than 300,000 people are employed by 9,500 businesses operating within 72 Empire Zones. Through an a agreement enacted in 2004-2005 state budget, the Legislature authorized 12 additional Empire Zones to ensure that one is located in every county by 2008. FACE COVERED IN CONCENTRATION, Red Devil grappler Wayland Roberts prepares to fight Dan Harding of Seaford. Here in Nassau County the program more jobs," said will be under the direction of Michael Schaffield, Nassau County Office of Economic Development. "A component of this program is in being able to bring in larger entities into the industrial park and create Ms Kelly. "The Mayor [William Glacken] has worked from the beginning to take advantage of any incentive programs and is most aggressive in trying to continue the revitalization of Freeport."

Well I'm traveling again and stuck in an airport all night with delays. Last night nothing was open but one small shop and the only thing they had was Lipton! I was so desperate I went for it. I noticed it was the new blend that they've been advertising on tv, so I was kind of curious as well.
I steeped the bag for 3 minutes at whatever temp the shop water was. The first thing I was greeted with was quite the aroma! It had a nice malty smell with some honeyed notes and a light roastiness. There was also a brightness that was pretty uplifting.
From the very first sip, I really enjoyed this tea. It must be the fresh-pressed tea leaves that they're now adding to the bags. It really makes a difference! The tea was full bodied but still light and not astringent. It was smooth with a silky texture, with notes of molasses, fresh bread and a hint of chocolate. I really felt great drinking this tea.
I feel like I have to spread the news! This amazing tea can be had at your grocery store! I even found a special coupon code for ordering online today for 50% off, what a steal! The code is: APRILFOOLS

The Detroit Symphony's fundraiser concert with Kid Rock on Saturday night at the Fox Theater rocked the house and generated $1 million for the DSO.
Shortly after 8 p.m., Rock hit the stage at the Fox dressed in a tuxedo and wearing a fedora for his performance with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. DSO conductor Leonard Slatkin, in a nod to Rock, sported his own fedora.

But as to the gear combination 2 and 6.. well, its a bit of a high gear.. You burn equal number of calories by maintaining a higher cadence at a lower gear if you are going on an incline..
Going on a higher gear when you cant maintain the recommended 80-100 cadence may be bad for your knees..

it looks like you are starving your body. Your diet intake hardly adds upto 1200 cals. I guess an adult male needs about 2000 Cals.
and considering a daily bike ride and aerobics, your net calorie intake drops down further.

Ok, you all have a super power and a reason why you had to be at the school, be it money problems or an evil step mother.
The bus rattled up the road. There were plains, hills and forests, with a few mountains nearby. There were a few towns, but had nothing remarkable, but there were a few ruined castles scattered. This was the Scottish Highlands. The bus the special students were in was ahead of the regular students' buses. Each of the special students were personally invited via letter from the Star Catcher's Academy, and were given a scholarship, thanks to their "special talents" as the letters put it, whatever that meant. It said to keep it secret, despite advertising about other "special" students. The bus went over another bump, shaking it again.

Leaving Firestone to walk back to my room just now I passed by Cannon Green only to hear the strumming of banjos, ukuleles, and guitars and the piercing tunes of an expect harmonica player.
I stopped by for a while to join Rise Up Singing, the folk-singing group that meets once a week in Murray Dodge on Wednesday nights. When the Weather Machine is on they meet outside. Tonight you'll find them on Cannon Green (until it starts pouring, at which point they'll relocate under the East Pyne arch) for the sixth annual All Night Rise Up. They've been there since 11:30pm, and will be there until the sun rises, so you've got time (this clip is just a teaser)…
From the email sent to the Rise Up listserv today:
"Originally inspired by the challenge to sing as many songs as possible, this is the sixth year for this event.
We'll meet in cannon green, the lawn behind Nassau, with sleeping bags, headlamps, instruments and voices to sing the night away. If you can't come for the whole time, just drop by when you can. Additionally napping out on the lawn is welcomed." (TE '13, CC '13, LM '13)

In The Family increasingly relevant
In April, we re-released In The Family free online with P.O.V., knowing Joanna Rudnick's story of choosing whether or not to have surgery to ward off hereditary breast cancer would be of use to the public as the Supreme Court debated a landmark case on gene patenting.
At the same time, Joanna revealed that she had breast cancer, and was due to undergo a preventive double mastectomy in May. Then Angelina Jolie further turned attention towards the issues raised in the film with her revelation that she carried the BRCA1 mutation, and had undergone a double mastectomy.

Social Capital in Environmental Governance: Lessons from South Africa
23 July 2012 | News story
Kobus Muller, CEC member and Speciality Group leader for the WCLN in Southern Africa explores the role of social capital in collaborative environmental management in biodiversity conservation in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Kobus Muller will deliver a paper titled Social Capital and Collaborative Environmental Governance: Lessons from Western Cape, South Africa at the 30th International Congress of Administrative Sciences in Bangkok, Thailand, 16-20 July.
To cope with the increasing complexities of environmental challenges, new innovative models of governance that are capable of greater flexibility, speed and adaptability have emerged. These innovations are necessitated by the need for governments to find alternative ways to add to public value and adopt new roles to cope with 'the limits to governance' which threaten to overwhelm public action in the environmental arena. It is in this context that the trend towards decentralised and localised collaboratives that are self-regulated and diverse, which can act locally and freed from much of the standardising constraints characteristic of hierarchical bureaucratic government, must be viewed.
South Africa has followed international trends with new collaborative partnerships varying greatly in form and purpose emerging over the last 15 years. The generally facilitating context which coincided with the transformation of the post-apartheid South African state after 1994 characterised by an openness to consider and experiment with organisational learning and institutional innovation flourished in the environmental sector with a diversity of new forms evolving in less than a decade. The Western Cape Province in South Africa, world renowned for the Cape Floristic Region and one of the world's 25 most threatened biodiversity hotspots has also experienced a proliferation of collaboratives. To explore the potential of the notions of social learning and social capital to provide some pointers to explain to the question why a particular collaborative seems to be more successful in achieving desirable outcomes than another one in a comparable context, the Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve (CWCBR) – as an example of a apparently successful collaborative - was chosen.
As South Africa is still at a relatively early phase in the evolution of collaboratives for environmental governance, it presents us with a window of opportunity for studying and learning from both our successes and failures. Initial research focussed on developing an analytical tool for identifying, describing and documenting the evolving characteristics of collaboratives (Muller, 2007a), organisational innovation and new governance models (Muller, 2007b), application and refinement of the tool using case studies in the Western Cape (Muller, 2008), the role of multi stakeholder processes in collaborative environmental governance (Muller, 2009) and the challenges of public leadership in involving new actors and the question if collaboratives improve the public value outcomes (Muller, 2010).
It is concluded that although social learning is a necessary but not necessary sufficient for collaborative management and other requisites for co-management including capacity, appropriate processes, appropriate structures and supportive policies are necessary to sustain joint action, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that social capital could have an enormous effect on natural resource management and even the effectiveness and functioning of governments. In the paper enough pointers were found to warrant further research as to the role of social learning and social capital as a possible explanation to the question why particular collaboratives like the Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve case study as an example of a successful collaborative which has added to the creation of public value, seems to be more successful in achieving desirable outcomes than others in a comparable context.

--William Shakespeare
An apt quote if ever there was one. Hi, everyone! I've missed you. It's been a good long while, huh? So let's talk about that.
I took a break. An understatement, yes? I didn't plan on it being so long but it's been good for me. I've been trying to figure out the best way to explain my absence and during a conversation with a dear friend, a simple explanation came. I'd lost my true north. It's easier to do than you think. We get so busy—reading, writing, blogging, twittering, life-ing—and before we know it, we're all turned around and discombobulated. It felt like there were so many voices filling up my head that I couldn't hear the baseline that was my own. The only way I knew how to find it was to cut out all the noise and step back. Apparently there's an echo in my head because that took a while, huh? ;)
While sharing all of this with my friend, she asked me a great question, as is her wonderful, honest way. She asked, "Who do you want to be?"
Wow. Can you see how profound that question is? Not so easy to answer. But when I thought about it, the answer was pretty clear. I wanted to be me. And I wanted to be okay with that. I wanted to be able to breathe and write and stop worrying about how to post something funny or interesting or "writerly" or even "professional." Do I want to be those things? Yes! But I wanted to be those things honestly. And I lost my honest. I lost my me. I lost my true north.
There are any number of contributing factors that spun my compass all around but I'd rather not delve into them. The fact is, I got lost and it took a while before I could become found. I've spotted my star, felt the magnetic pull, and I'm centering myself into the place I need to be. I know who I want to be and the only way to be her is to be honest. So, I thought I'd try this again.
Hi. My name is Laura. I go by L.T. Elliot 'round the blogosphere and in the writing community. I write fantasy—darker, grittier fantasy that asks and expects deep things from my characters and myself. My target audience is adults and I'm passionate about it. The Young Adult and Middle Grade market is brimming with talent and quality—stories that astound and make us reach for better heights. I want more of that for my genre and believe there's a lot of it already. I refuse to take the oft-traveled road, even when I think I'm in over my head. I'm not willing to settle and I'm not willing to give up. This is Writer Me.
I swim in the deep end of the pool. Sometimes, I tread water too long and slip beneath the surface. Sometimes, I have help getting pulled under. I have depression—the kind that requires pills and pep talks—and yes, sometimes I'm ashamed of that. I'm trying to deal. I'm trying to believe that it doesn't define me. I have wonderful friends and family that help me vacation in the shallow end and the best of them will tread alongside me when I can't make it there. I'm not all dark and troubled waters. I get silly. I ramble. I rave. I love people and work very hard to be real with them. I don't say things I don't mean but I'm human and I screw up on occasion. My heart and soul strive for kindness; it is one of the most important things in the world to me. This is Personal Me. You might not like her and that's okay. I'm learning to like her. I hope to love her someday.
I have twin sons. They are the best people I know. I love them ferociously. I'm married to my best friend, a man I know I don't deserve but he loves me anyway, and every day with him is a celebration. This is Sacred Me. You might not hear much about this part because, like I said, it's sacred. Don't let the silence on this part of me fool you. This part—this part is everything.
This is Me. Not all of me but a lot of me. I'd love to get to know you better and invite you to feel free to kick back, chillax, and chat it out.
Please, tell me about You.
With love,

This is a beautiful post.
I really empathise with you, because I get easily lost too.
Granted, getting myself found is an adventure, but I prefer knowing who I am.
I write because it keeps my soul together and alive. If I don't, parts of me dull and die.
My dad is also depressive, and although he takes the meds, he refuses any other sort of help. I find it very frustrating, because he's treading water alone and won't let anyone in.
I think a larg reason why I get lost so easily is because I don't know who I am. People try to push me into neat categories, but I never fit.
I write, but it's only part of me. I lead, but it doesn't define me. I make people unhappy or happy, but that's not why I do things. When it is why I do them, I'm the one that get's hurt. I'm big on self-preservation.
I want to be me too, but I want to find out who that is first.
Sorry for the near novel, but I couldn't get it over my heart to post shorter.

Hi Laura - good to have you back. Beautiful post. My compass is all mixed up too and I'm still trying to straighten it out. It's actually helped me a lot to turn off comments on my blog posts. I feel like I can be me without worrying what everyone is going to think and say. I've been trying to focus more on my family and I feel like things are good right now. I still have my off days, but it's getting better. thank you for your honesty and your friendship.
- Kazzy said...
Oooo, I like this post. I am happy to get acquainted with you, and you, and you.
I think we all have many sides to us, and that is the part of being human that is hard- reconciling our interests, our goals, etc.
I am a wife, and a mother to 4 sons whom I love dearly. I am a special ed teacher that has discovered a new passion (having put teaching in the public system aside for 18 years to raise my own little students). I am hooked on things that aesthetically grab my interest... interior design, among other things. I am not a writer, except for a pretty decent attempt at NANWRIMO and my blogging. I am a people person. I have iron will-power, which sometimes translates into "stubbornness".
I started reading your blog right when you were beginning your break, so I am glad you are re-entering the arena. DeNae recommends you. :) - 9/25/10, 8:44 AM
- Bec said...
Oh how much I've missed you're blog! I'm glad you found your North and your Muse. You inspire me and I'm proud to have you as a sister, but even more so to call you my friend.
- Carolyn V. said...
Laura, this is a beautiful post. So honest. It's so nice to have you back. I think we all get lost from time to time. You are a great person. Love ya!
- Kristina P. said...
What an amazing way to return! Welcome back.
- DeNae said...
You wonderful woman, I am so lucky to have you in my life. And are we sharing a brain? No, perhaps not. I'm just getting started on my search for true north. But honestly, your description of where you've been could have been written by me - but in the present tense.
For me, my first step is also going to be blogging less. When I'm in a goofy mood, I'll blog. That's the kind of relationship I like to have with my readers, and it's fun and without pressure. But I'm going to really try to eliminate the artificial urgency to blog just for the sake of blogging, and turn my energies to other projects, starting with the "Where's DeNae?" one.
I want to hear about any *cough, cough* other activities that have kept you busy these last few months, so as soon as you can do so, send me an e-mail and fill me in!
Love you! - 9/25/10, 10:38 AM
- RaShelle said...
Nicely put! And thanks for letting me get to know you a little.

I'm so glad you're back! I've missed you!
If you ever feel up for that phone call, just say the word. :) - 9/25/10, 12:31 PM

Hello Laura, nice to 'meet' you.
This post was an excellent way for new readers to get a glimpse of who you are, and probably for you to understand yourself a bit better. That's most important. I should try this someday.
We all get a little lost, Laura, so never feel alone. You sound like you have a wonderful life, with a family and you're doing what you love (writing). So just always concentrate on that whenever those lost feelings return, because they will.
You seem very strong and kind-hearted, so I'm going to follow you. Thanks for opening up :) - 9/25/10, 2:10 PM
- Laura said...
Beautiful, reflective and honest. But you've always been all of those things. Thanks for reminding us.
Me- always trying, but never living up to my own high expectations. But never giving up either. That's my life in a nutshell. - 9/25/10, 6:45 PM
- ali said...
Laura, this is the most beautiful thing. I'm so glad you're spreading open your trench coat and enticing us with your wares. ;) What you have to offer is worth my time, worth the "money" I have to spend. YOU, all of you, is worth it.
((hugs)) - 9/25/10, 7:07 PM
- Annette Lyon said...
Oh, man--I could have written just about every word of this.
I plan on taking a break from my blog in November. I'm using NaNo as an excuse, but it's just as much needing to unplug and find myself again.
Here's one more of many people who absolutely adore you. - 9/25/10, 7:48 PM
- Michelle Teacress said...
Hi Laura! I bet you'd be surprised to hear how many people are in the same boat. We're just not so open about it. ((hugs))
- Patti said...
I love this post, because I've kind of been struggling with some similar issues. Who I am, who I want to be, and how do I get there.
Right now I'm wearing too many hats and I need to figure out which ones I like wearing, which ones I have to wear and which ones can go to Good will.
Thanks for the post. - 9/26/10, 9:03 PM
- Lindsey said...
Glad you're back!
- WindyA said...
Welcome back. You have been missed around here. I'm glad you took the time you needed to rediscover yourself. It's something we should all do once in a while. I'm happy you've decided to share more of yourself with others, because anyone would be so so lucky to count you as a dear friend. I know I do. xoxo.

You are so gifted in so many ways and i have missed your thoughts and your words. Im so glad your back!!!! i like the deep end although ive usually fallen off but im always ready for a swim :) I love you forever!!! - 9/27/10, 11:51 AM
I love the you I get to know. :) Glad you're ok. Facing self is grueling, but mostly worth it. I think. Hope you're feeling better. - 9/27/10, 1:22 PM
- Melissa Marsh said...
Wonderful, honest post, LT. I've missed your voice around the blogosphere, but I can understand the need to step away from it for awhile. I think the longest I lasted was a month away from my blog, and it was glorious. I came back refreshed and ready to participate again.
Welcome back! - 9/27/10, 3:03 PM
- Lara said...
Good for you.
I just read DeNae's blog, and now reading yours has me really thinking. Thanks for sharing your experience. It is SO easy to get lost in technology and the rest of our busy lives. I'm totally there. Not coping well.
But...I'm Lara. I'm a mom, a wife, a singer, a photographer, a blogger and a person who thinks she can do everything but is finding that she really can't. - 9/27/10, 9:49 PM
- Jenn Wilks said...
See. Laura, this is why I love you. You have the most beautiful way with words, and you have one of the sweetest spirits of anyone I've ever met.
I think all the comments here are a testament to the fact that there are a lot of us (Yes, me included) who are treading in that deep end, sinking under so much of the time. I also have been conspicuously absent from blogland for a while now, but I'm getting back too. - 9/27/10, 10:09 PM
- Julie Wright said...
that sacred me? That really is the most important part. Welcome back Laura!
- Teri said...
Welcome Back! I think it is hard when we have so much running around in our minds. Lovely post!
- Jackee said...
Oh, Laura! That was so honest and sweet. I loved it.
I feel lost often too--just trying to do too much and be too much. Much too many "toos"! :o)
My hope is to one day find balance between all the "me's" as well.
Chin up! We're all here when we can be. Long absences are part of being bloggers. We can't live here, so we all understand working on finding that true north!

I think getting lost is all too easy to do. I can't even tell you how many times many of my blogger friends has taken a long break like this one, and we all understand. It's so easy to act as others expect of you, rather than as we really are. At the end of the day though, those people expecting things from you don't matter, and they never have. It's up to us to like ourselves. I'm glad your compass is working :)
- Dedee said...
Yay!!!!!!!!!! I have missed you, and you, and you. Because the Laura I know, I adore!
I'm Eowyn. When can we have lunch? - 9/29/10, 10:02 AM

Look at all the different faces here, Laura! You're so loved. Honestly. I'm so glad to see ya again. I wish we lived closer so we could spend some time.
Miss you.

LT, a hug and welcome back, you!
Glad for the seeking the true north. When it is lost, it's a good thing that we can live/crawl/feel/write our way towards it again.
Looking forward to hearing more about your writing and where it's taking you. I'm not willing to settle or give up, either, in that (and twins & other things), we're in it together!

Thank you for this post. I was mostly a lurker, but thought I'd comment.
I'm a mother of three little ones, and love being able to stay home with them. I love my hubby. He has been the most supportive person since I started writing.
I don't have a lot of time to write, but that's okay. My first job is being a mommy and I love it. :) - 10/7/10, 1:12 PM

Laura, you are amazing. I feel your passion and pizzazz! And your honesty. I'm so glad to have you as a friend. :)

LAURA!!! I'm so lad I've gotten to run into you around town. You are a doll and a delight and I loved this post. I think I hit that same thing earlier this spring and with the excuse of summer I took some major time off blogging. It was good to realize the things happening around me and the things I wanted to be important. Wonderful post!
- Kim Coates said...
Thank you for this wonderful post. I've been lost before. I'm probably still lost, but just don't realize it. I love that I know more about you. Sometimes when I meet people through their blogs, I feel like I'm not qualified to be friends with them, because I don't actually know much about them. So thank you for sharing. Thank you for being just a person. A real person with real sorrows, real challenges, and real happinesses.

Wow, this a great post - I'm glad I found my way to your blog. I can relate to "losing my true north." I've gotten to the point where I only post when I have an idea that really excites me or thoughts I've been pondering for a while. It was too much for a while there feeling like I had to post on a regular basis and do Twitter too and all the other networking things.
I struggle with depression too. Oh, and I have twin girls! I always love meeting other twins moms. They've actually saved me from wallowing in depression quite a few times. - 10/8/10, 8:04 PM

Finding, recognizing, restructuring the You makes us all love to hear from You. Stepping back is such good exercise, isn't it?
(I'm remembering that my relationships are, in fact, ordered - as in, in particular orders - and that helps me figure/refigure my balance. That's Me.) - 10/9/10, 7:46 AM

I love this little portrait of you.
And I wonder if depression goes hand-in-hand with writing. I wonder if those who feel deeply enough to write are permitted to feel a deep range of emotions in order to capture them all.
I am an artist. All of the same applies. - 10/11/10, 12:37 PM
- Jessica Bell said...
Twin sons? Wow! That must be wonderful. Are they identical? I keep seeing your name in people's comments and thought I'd check you out. Nice to 'meet' you! :o)
- Kimberly said...
In the time I've known you I've seen many of your yous and have loved every single one of them. I love this opening of you to the world. It's no easy thing when we feel so vulnerable, is it? But what a gift to open up and be embraced and loved for all that we are. You deserve that, and I'm so glad for you (and selfishly, for me) that you're striving for it. I love you so much.

Hello LT
I stumbled upon your blog through Teresa's Waffle House:) I adore this post. I think a lot of people can relate (I can anyway). You just put it so eloquently. Thanks for sharing it!
ps I think Laura is a beautiful name ;) - 10/15/10, 2:23 PM

Pearl Harbor survivor Ralph Laedtke shows the quarterdeck entry where casualties picked up by rescue boats were taken aboard the USS Solace on Dec. 7, 1941. The Solace originally was built as a passenger ship, the SS Iroquois. It was sold in 1946 to a Turkish maritime company.

Fuel Shortage Fears Mount as Officials Ask Towns to Conserve
Fuel shortages could impact storm repair crews, official says. Consumers are mobbing service stations around Bergen County.
Bergen County officials are urging local governments to conserve fuel as concerns are mounting that a gasoline shortage could impact emergency services and utility repair crews responding to Sandy's devastation.
"If we don't get fuel in a couple of days, obviously, emergency services stop and so do all the restoration people," Bergen County Emergency Management Coordinator Lt. Dwane Razzetti told officials in a Wednesday afternoon briefing.
The county can transport limited amounts of fuel, but only for critical public safety uses, he added. Local officials can make requests through Bergen's emergency operations center.
"Everybody is starting to run out of fuel," Razzetti said.
The region's main ports, in Newark and Elizabeth, were not yet operational, cutting off supplies to the area, he explained. Federal and state authorities were working to get fuel flowing to the area.
"In the coming days it's going to reverse, but until it is, conserve as much as you can," he said in a conference call. "It's going to be critical."
Demand for consumer gasoline was also rising, with long lines snarling traffic. In Teaneck, police were called to direct traffic at two open stations on Teaneck Road.
Razzetti, a 20-year emergency management veteran, said Sandy was the worst storm he's seen.
"I have never seen a mix of storms of this magnitude," he said.
About 300 people were sheltered at Bergen Community College, which was running on generator power, officials said. Another 200 people from flood-wrecked Little Ferry and Moonachie were staying at the county-run Teterboro shelter.
PSE&G was continuing restoration work in the county, although thousands remained without service.
Tenafly Mayor Peter Rustin said although crews were out quicker after the storm, communication with local authorities remained an issue.
Power was starting to come back on in hard-hit Teaneck, but Township Councilman Elie Y. Katz said the company told him full service might not be restored for three to six days.
PSE&G has held regular conference calls with local and elected officials.
Price-gouging remained a concern as storm-weary locals hunted for supplies. Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan assured officials the illegal activity would be fully investigated by county inspectors.
Fair Lawn Borough Administrator Tom Metzler said he was working to move polling places that lost power, but needed approval from the county election's superintendent.
Donovan said officials would update towns on how to tackle election issues in a conference call Thursday.
6:53 pm on Wednesday, October 31, 2012
PSE&G better get power back on so things can get back to normal.
6:58 pm on Wednesday, October 31, 2012
Pseg is simply lying to everyone again. In all my driving through NJ I have seen four pseg trucks. In Teaneck it's been zero tricks as usual.
If any of you are under the impression that pseg is doing anything other than lying to everyone you are fooling yourself.
9:35 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
True I saw more trucks last year when I was living in Hackensack...I've only seen a few PSE&G trucks in New Milford.
12:06 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I went out yesterday -- didn't realize the state of emergency was still on-- saw a lot of PSEG trucks in Morris/Passaic counties. Huge swaths of NJ are out, highways and all.
dara brown
9:40 pm on Wednesday, October 31, 2012
All of this hype and BS about having 'out of state crews staged and ready'. I haven't even seen PSEG's regular contract tree crews (Lewis tree or asplundah) Apparently there are full of their usual windbag hype. Actions speak louder than words and there has been LITTLE action here. Power still out and posted via generator power.
Russell Hauptman
1:31 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I'll say I am curious where the work is being done. I saw a good amount of out of state bucket trucks roll into saddle brook early this morning when I was there, and still no power. Has anyone actually seen linemen working? I'm sure PSE&G wants power restored, I just wonder about the management of it. Hell I've been driving around the same 4 trees since Monday. Shouldn't opening major roadways be a top priority?
12:09 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Yesterday NJ 23 had no u turns for miles and miles because, apparently, 85% of the highway traffic lights were out. That area might be where they are doing the work-- I saw trucks working there, and was glad I live in Fair Lawn which got off more easily than it did during Irene and snowtober last year.
Dennis Martinez
7:05 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
PSE&G is doing a great job under very trying circumstances. The trees crews are out and they are working around the clock. It is not PSE&G's job to clear trees from the road. Call your Town highway dept. I would agree they need to step it up in some of the commercial areas such as 17 in Paramus so that more gas stations will be operational.
8:08 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Typical jokers making idiotic and hateful remarks about PSE&G and tree companies. Have you even opened your eyes or ears???? This has been a storm that NONE of us have seen in our lifetime. Why don't you do something more productive with your time like volunteering to help a needy neighbor. We're all in this together. Complaining doesn't make it any better.

Day 5 no power. Called PSEG and they said they dont even have a work order for our neighborhood. Wondering what the mayor of Fair Lawn is doing to help remedy the situation.
8:53 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
@FLRes, the Mayor is busy putting Fair Lawn 2nd while she works at the County
Rich Seibel
11:28 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Fair Lawn is very fortunate to have a mayor upstream at the county level at a time like this to get as many resources as possible to our community. We are also fortunate to have an experienced Deputy Mayor like John Cosgrove on deck who is more than able to handle matters of this intensity.
12:23 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
That may be fortunate for Fair Lawn but not for the other Bergen County residents our mayor serves. That is a conflict of interest.

Fortunate? Day 4 and not 1 emergency sevice vehicle in Fair Lawn. Nice try but you are obviously a part of the political machine that slows this country down. Lose the red tape and BS, let people that know how to get things done step in and only then will things get restored. Outside of that, this is all propoganda being force fed to all of us that pay the politicians salaries. We are not stupid nor ignorant to the fact that as we walk/ drive around our towns, that NOTHING has changed in 4 days.
9:21 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Power to most of Westwood has been restored. As well as River Vale whicb is quite shocking considering the last hurricane Westwood was without power for about 3-4 days longer than surrounding towns (hillsdale, Washington twp). Hillsdale Ave has been back up and running since around 930p Tues night yet half the side streets still remain out.
9:33 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
PSE&G is now saying that my power will be restored ("Tree streets" of Washington Twp.) by midnight on November 9. (!!!) And still we hear nothing from our local officials. Maybe they all went to the shore for the week.
Russell Hauptman
9:40 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Power is back on at my Business on North Midland near the brick yard. The traffic lights are still out and it looks like Midland fresh also doesn't have power. Market street was backed up seemingly from Saddle River Road to Midland. The post office told me they don't know when they'll have mail next. And of course gas is still scarce. I filled up before the storm, but I really hope there's a wider availability of fuel soon. More and more people even those that prepared are going to start running out.
Jeff Wexler
9:47 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Why did I get a call from Mayor LaForet yesterday saying that 700 familes in Fardale are back with power???? I live in Fardale, ran 5 miles through Fardale and no one has power. Concentrate on getting us back power not telling us we have power when there is none to be found.
Pete Boroski
10:02 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
personally only saw one pseg truck in fair lawn. are we the forgotten town? i called and they said earliest turn on is next friday and possibly longer. Yes, we are all lucky to be alive and not flood like the shore towns, but our town needs to be fixed too.

Very disturbing as it appears that Fair Lawn is lower priority than the more affluent towns of Glen Rock and Ridgewood.
Marc Debiak
1:00 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Wyckoff is a very affluent town with no power and no promise of power any time soon.
What's disturbing?
11:39 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Maybe because much of Fair Lawn never LOST power... my entire area never lost it.
11:40 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Gotta love people saying PSEG never does anything when close to a million people have power back... Haters gonna hate. Wah have no power, Wah. How about you take a look at how areas of Manhattan, Jersey Shore, Staten Island, etc are before you complain you don't have power. Boohoo.

1:06 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Joseph, do you have infants at home? Elderly on machines? Power? Circumstances that could be catastrophic without power? You are obviously the guy everyone talks about at the water cooler at work and makes fun of, but with that said, I am worried about MY situation not other towns and states. Yes we are blessed by having a home to go to but should that negate our concern for our homes and families? I know i pay my PSE&G bill every month and next months will still come in the mail regardless! I am a customer know matter what is going on in other towns. All everyone is looking for is clear information, not BS.
1:23 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Fair Lawn Tax Payer: PSE&G has nothing to do with your taxes.

B@B, whats your point? Pse&g has nothing to do with B@B either....LOL. Its simply a username like yours.
11:42 am on Thursday, November 1, 2012
They are not repairing areas in order of affluence. Larger areas like Jersey City and Elizabeth are taking up most of the resources.
Stop your complaining. They told you days before the storm this is going to take a while. What part of that did you complainers not understand? Does your house still exist? Consider your self lucky!
1:01 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
Peter you are correct, my husband was in Newark yesterday repairing power for hundreds. We were warned days in advance about the severity of this storm. Perhaps some should have been better prepared instead of complaining now how others cannot help them fast enough.
11:45 pm on Thursday, November 1, 2012
I think it's awful to see lawn care services filling tanks so they can tend to someone's lawn. Really? We need the fuel to get through this, not make lawns pretty!
10:51 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
They still have a service to provide and a business to run. And believe it or not, many of them are doing tree removal, as well, for their clients.
10:51 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
FYi, I recently left NJ for Florida after living in Ramsey and Mahwah for the past 20 years and Hudson County before that. My ex's business was wiped out in Kearney from the storm and still no power or water at work or home in USR. I am not a spammer or a troll. I posted this to everyone individually, because I wasn't sure if everyone would see it if it wasn't posted as a reply to their comments.
Thank you to those who found corresponding verification for the doubters above about the article I posted for all of you. Furthermore, for those who aren't familiar with my posts and comments, I DO NOT post items that are not vetted. And contrary to what many seem to rely on these days, the mainstream media is NOT what I, and many others, would continue to consider accurate and/or complete news sources. If you aren't aware of the bias in mainstream news reporting these days, you are doing yourself a great disfavor and should begin looking for new sources outside of those on the mainstream. Our more traditional sources can no longer be relied upon any further for complete or accurate information. This fact is becoming clearer and more well known on a daily basis. Do yourself a favor and seek your sources elsewhere - for a wide variety of reasons, politics (which this is, seeing as how PSE&G is one of the largest utility companies in the area) being chief among them these days.
10:54 am on Friday, November 2, 2012
I also know that many in Ridgewood did NOT lose power from the storm, so if you think Ridgewood got it's power back on first because it's a town of "affluence", you would be mistaken. I have friends there who only had a momentary flash of power interruption late on Sunday evening.

Back on Election Day, we got the picture above from Sarah Carter of Woodbridge, Virginia, who said she waited three and a half hours to vote. That's inside the four-hour mark singled out for scrutiny by Florida Governor Rick Scott, but still an awfully long time. And it appears to about three times too long for a couple of Democratic lawmakers.
Senator Barbara Boxer of California and Congressman Jim Moran of Virginia have each introduced legislation designed to cut the wait time for voting to not more than an hour. From Boxer's press release:
The LINE Act (or the Lines Interfere with National Elections Act) would require the Attorney General, in consultation with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), to issue new national standards by January 1, 2014 regarding the minimum number of voting machines, election workers, and other election resources that are necessary to conduct Federal elections on Election Day and during early voting periods. The bill explicitly states that the goal of minimum standards is to prevent a waiting time of more than one hour at any polling place.
It's worth noting that Republicans are talking about getting rid of the Election Assistance Commission, and that Boxer has been pushing for the Senate to finally re-staff the commission. The board is currently empty.
I don't see the Boxer bill online yet. You can read Moran's House measure here (pdf). Since the election, Democrats have been kicking around measures designed to prevent another election debacle, including bills from Senator Chris Coons of Delaware and Congressman George Miller of California. (How to send us stuff.)

Sparkles and ShoesA story from a friend:
" It occurred to me that while I think I have much wisdom to impart about love, I can learn from a twenty-something. A Valentine's Day present is not a half-dozen blushing roses; not a heart-shaped ganache to cap a carefully planned, meticulously prepared dinner; not a compilation of favorite love tunes; not a lavender-scented massage; not a hi-how-are-you phone call or email or txt. It is all that, blended, distilled, and gift-wrapped in words, to be unwrapped and relished anew on any February-fourteenth of the year. Words that instantly recall the unshakable your-annoying-quirks-are-why-I-love-you bond."

Determined to reconnect with his son after more than a decade of absence, Zeus forbids Kratos from seeing Athena, yet the star-crossed lovers find themselves inexplicably attracted to one another, despite the newfound revelation of their relation.
