Monmouth County Officials Vent Frustations Over JCP&L
Summit held in Tinton Falls for discussion of utility company's service during and after Hurricane Sandy
Officials from Monmouth County towns gathered at Tinton Falls Borough Hall on Monday afternoon to discuss and critique Jersey Central Power and Light's (JCP&L) service and communication during Hurricane Sandy.
Most officials in attendance agreed that JCP&L did not effectively communicate with their towns during the hurricane and that many were left without the information they needed to get out to residents.
"It was absolutely poor execution by JCP&L," Marlboro Mayor Jonathan Hornik said.
"A little anger and venting is exactly what JCP&L needs to hear," Long Branch Mayor Adam Schneider said.
The discussion was hosted by Tinton Falls Mayor Michael Skudera and Middletown Mayor Tony Fiore.
"The goal for today is not for this to become a gripe session," Fiore said. "We wanted to meet, get feedback and go through the proper channels to get this information out."
"This is a utility company that we do not control, so we want to think of what things we can do for the next time this happens," Skudera said.
Fiore outlined some ideas that he had come up with that he felt could improve JCP&L's communication with towns.
- JCP&L's update calls with mayors should be regional and not statewide;
- How outages are reported needs to be addressed;
- A need for better communication between JCP&L and Verizon;
- JCP&L needs a better understanding of each town's grid;
- JCP&L needs to know which streets are a priority in town when outages are reported;
- Towns needs to know what JCP&L's infrastructure improvements are.
The mayors and office of emergency management officials also met to have a round-table discussion about JCP&L, but that part of the meeting was not open to the public or media.
Holmdel Mayor Patrick Impreveduto said whatever decisions were made by the officials should be given to the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
"We need to have them expedite what we are trying to do," Impreveduto said.
Freeholder Tom Arnone agreed and said JCP&L must show its capital plan with the county and municipalities.
"The JCP&L representatives we talked to had no answers for us," Arnone said.

JCP&L has highly trained and professional linemen who perform admirably under the worst of weather conditions. Some of these guys could fix the crack of dawn in a blizzard.
We all understand that safety must be the utmost of concerns since the voltages they work with allow no margin for mistake. They are hardworking fellows, well met, that understand the infrastructure that they are working on. They work 16 hours a day until the system is up and running, power returned to the company's customers.
It is a shame that more of the managers in the company are not as well versed in the circuitry and time required to safely execute power restoration. Perhaps more management should be recruited from the ranks of line crews.

It wasn't JCP&L , It was all the wonderful crews from all over the country thay saved JCP&L AGAIN

Joe, not really, but thank you. I made my career in construction management and I amretired now. I served an apprentiship in the trades and got a BS in management at night. I know craftsmen when I see them perform. I also know, to manage them you need to understand their technical and everyday world. You need some dirt under your finger nails.

JTA. Are you saying JCP&l didn't do any work restoring power?

Again, the way I see it is this..More Super Storms are needed for power companies to practice..Practice makes perfect...I sure as hell hope this doesn't happen..How does anyone develop a game plan when you don't know what your opponent has up his sleeves..I sure as hell cant

IF the Monmouth County chosen freeholders and the mayors in Monmouth County did their jobs our electricity would not have been knocked offline by trees that the Townships and the County should be trimming to help prevent outages. It certainly is not the fault of JCPL that homeowner owned trees, township owned trees and County owned trees destroy and damage the electric grid. Instead of complaining___please trim YOUR trees to help prevent this from happening again. Mayors in many towns have placed limitations and restriction on tree cutting and contributed to the problems by not allowing tree owners to remove or trim down their own tress.

If I may - in my opinion, it is absolutely, completely JCP&L's fault. (1) JCP&L has a duty to trim trees that endanger its wires; (2) JCP&L chooses to string wires from wooden poles, using 19th century technology in the 21st century; (3) JCP&L chooses where to put its wooden poles - in proximity to trees; (4) municipalities, the county, homeowners, or anyone other than JCP&L can get into major trouble - or be electrocuted - for trimming trees in proximity to JCP&L wires.
Our gas service is (of course) underground, and it has never failed in any storm over the past 25+ years. If JCP&L would place its wiring underground - at least major feeders - trees would be irrelevant. Then again, our above-ground tv cable and telephone wires weathered Sandy just fine, too. Perhaps JCP&L should have a nice chat with the cable tv and phone companies about dealing with tree limbs.
If JCP&L wants me, a homeowner and customer, to maintain its infrastructure, then I expect to be paid for it. If JCP&L wants me to hire a contractor at their expense ...
4:48 am on Friday, November 23, 2012
You are absolutely right. A lot of the problems causing the loss of power for so long was the trees. Although my family and I did not enjoy sitting in a 50 degree house for 10 days, we think JCP&L and outside power companies did a great job considering what they had to deal with in some areas.
9:03 am on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
I agree - open your eyes and trim your own damn trees, people, municipalities, and quit whining!!!
Itchy Foot Moe
9:36 am on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Just one problem with your condesending "fix". Most towns including mine wont touch any trees that are near/touching live wires on the curb line.
JCP&L sends out a contracting crew to do these but not often enough.
And it appears with the amount of damage we received this go around they werent even close to being prepared ahead of time in this department.
8:21 pm on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Peter.....not sure where you live, but in my experience Cablevision's performance was worse than that of JCPL. I was without power for 11 days and without Cablevision services for 16 days. And it was only restored after 16 days because of help I was offered. I am in the process of switching to Verizon. As the widow of a JCPL lineman, I know how hard and in what conditions these people work. I also know that JCPL sends their employees to other regions when disasters strike in there. JCPL needs to get it's act together and update their system. But please don't blame the linemen. They risk their lives for us.

I have Zero Respect for the City of Long Branch! Once the Mayor & some officials are removed, the City will be a better place! But alot of damage has been done! So the better part of Long Branch will probably never come back. Wait for the Wave to hit Pier Village! And it won't be green! It will be the Payback for stealing land! Enjoy it while you can. The Time is near! And if the power should go out in Long Branch for a week again! You will know the Mayor won't be showering! The Mayor knew zero about JCP&L's lack of upgrades, that has been going on for many years before the Sandy storm. Only after the fact! The Mayor makes a big deal about JCP&L! The way I look at this is: If the Mayor showered & stayed clean! He may have been aware of JCP&L's many problems way before this Sandy Storm! Even if the shower was used! It still stinks!

The Four Agreements are very simple, but very profound. To embrace and live each of the Four Agreements is to find yourself experiencing personal freedom--possibly as never before. The Four Agreements are:
Be Impeccable With Your Words
Don't Take Anything Personally
Don't Make Assumptions
Always Do Your Best
From the cover of the book:
Be Impeccable With Your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Don't Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
Don't Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
This book may be small in size, but it packs a hefty punch in terms of shattering personal illusions and opening up a path to personal freedom. I consider this book a must-have for anyone wanting to become more conscious and wanting freedom from personal stories and agreements that cause suffering.

Hi everyone. Great forum, really informative.
I have an 1868/70 house that was completely abandoned a couple of years before I bought it. I'd say it was also badly maintained for about 30 years before that. I'm putting it back together bit by bit. This summer has been moisture control at the foundation.
In the basement -- probably a crawlspace converted to basement when contemporary ("modern") heat and plumbing were installed -- I've repointed the rubble walls with lime mortar, filling voids and replacing broken/ missing stones etc. On the outside, I dug down about two to three feet around the house and removed impacted soil/ roots from the mortar joints and repointed the exterior walls. (Deeper than about three feet, it's hardpacked clay. Based on test holes, it hasn't compromised the mortar.)
All around the house, I removed about a foot of soil that had accumulated against the brickwork, returned the elevation to just below the top of the rubble stone foundation, and graded it away from the house. (That was a lot of work.) The basement is much, much drier.
However, the house doesn't have gutters, never did, and I can see where rain coming off the drip edge is compacting the soil and, I assume, is sending water toward the foundation. The situation is worst at the roof corners, and I do notice that the basement gets wet at those spots. I do not want to install gutters because it will ruin the cornice moldings on the house and I can't imagine getting up 30+ feet every year to clean them out.
It has been recommended that I install a french drain/ tightline along the drip edge of the house and attempt to channel the water away from the drip edge and into the open yard. Has anyone done this? Is it advisable? Has it worked? What did you do?

text: March 10, 2009 SALT LAKE CITY – For the first time in school history the Westminster men's basketball team are the champions of the Frontier Conference Tournament. No. 7 Westminster (28-4) used a stellar defensive effort and three players in double figures to beat No. 21 Rocky Mountain College (23-9) on Tuesday night, 71-53. With the win Westminster claims an automatic invite to the 2009 Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship in Kansas City starting on March 18. With the game tied at 12 with 13:54 to play in the opening half, Westminster went on a 15-0 run and held Rocky without a basket for over nine minutes. The Griffins got four layups during the run and forced Rocky into five missed jump shots. Westminster shot 48.4% in the half and forced eight turnovers to just three of their own. Rocky started a comeback in the second half, cutting the lead to 47-39 with just over 12 minutes left. A quick 7-0 run by Westminster capped by a three from Jordan Jacobs put the lad back to 15 and out of reach. Rocky finished the night shooting just 38.9% from the field and committed 16 turnovers. "Defensively I just thought we were terrific," head coach Tommy Connor said. "I'm really proud of the guys, this wasn't easy to do." Geoff Payne led the Westminster attack with 22 points and 10 rebounds, his seventh double-double of the season. Payne went 8-of-12 from the field and added four assists, two blocks, and one steal. Danny Stosich led a 19-1 bench advantage with 15 points while grabbing seven rebounds. Westminster turned the 16 Rocky turnovers into 19 points. "Coaches had us ready and they wanted us to get on them quick," Payne commented. "We were able to do that and it paid off for us." Jeramie Hopson finished with 11 points and four assists. Les Brown and Nate Sanchez scored seven points apiece. Westminster only had seven turnovers in the game and had 32 points in the paint. They were 5-of-17 from beyond the arc while handing out 18 assists. Rocky received an excellent performance from Devin Uskoski. He finished the night with 21 points and 18 rebounds, including seven on the offensive end. Chase Sukut added 14 points and James Bulluck chipped in 13. Rocky had a 39-32 advantage in rebounds. Westminster will now wait for the bracket to be announced for the national tournament. The qualified teams should be announced on Sunday, March 15 with the complete bracket one day later. Westminster is a nationally recognized, comprehensive liberal arts college. With a broad array of graduate and undergraduate programs, Westminster is distinguished by its unique environment for learning. Westminster prepares students for success through active and engaged learning, real world experiences and its vibrant campus community. Westminster's unique location, adjacent to the Rocky Mountains and to the dynamic city of Salt Lake, further enriches the college experience. For more information, visit www.westminstercollege.edu.

Entry tags: | eoff, little rock ar, roselawn cemetery, sorting saturday, williams |
Recently the issue was how many plots there were in the Williams family plot at Roselawn Cemetery in Little Rock, and who owns them.
So yesterday, I found myself looking at Roselawn's official records on the subject. It was interesting information.
On 24 Feb 1958, my grandparents, Joe Duffie Williams and Doris (Balding) Williams bought six plots at Roselawn.
Although that information was interesting to me all on its own, it was even more interesting when I considered their ages. They were in their fifties, the same decade as I am in now. They had been grandparents for 4 years, with two granddaughters at the time.
Is it time for me to be making that decision? I wonder what caused them to be making it at that time? Had Papa Joe gotten a big bonus and that was one of the things they could check off the list of business they wanted to handle?
Three years later, on 31 Oct 1961, they sold and deeded two of the plots to Lee E and Kathryn G Eoff. Mr. Eoff died in 1972, and Mrs. Eoff in 1976. They are buried in the lots purchased from my grandparents, although their graves have no markers.
I don't know how they knew the Eoffs, or even *if* they did - yet. Maybe the cemetery helped arrange that sale.
Really curious, though...

Dat Lass: Man, that last post has me thinking about how religious institutions...
Man, that last post has me thinking about how religious institutions are so incredibly adept at making their belief system intrinsic to the core identity of their followers. THEY ARE SO GOOD AT THAT. It's that whole Dunbar's number/monkeysphere thing ("god knows and loves you personally! He…
See, it's hard for someone like me (left by my Catholic/agnostic(?) parents to decide for myself, starting to decide around the age of 10 that it was all rubbish) to understand just how badly this sort of thing can affect people and how hard it is to work through and adjust to not having that support structure behind you any more, propping up your life and entire world-view. Plus religion is not a very major thing in this country, more a sort of annoyingly discordant background hum that you can mostly ignore. But I know that it's a very different situation in North America.
I'm glad that you managed to sort it out for yourself in the end.
Thanks Taly. <3
Canada is actually far less religious than the rest of North America (only about half of us believe in god and way less than that are a part of any organized religion [Canadians aren't very nationalistic but we are definitely brought together in a mutual pride that we are less fundamentalist and more liberal/socialist than our neighbors to the south]), but I was raised in a brand of Christianity that teeters juuust on the boundary between progressive and fundamentalist. My religion shaped every part of me. It was a pretty slow journey from theism to deism to agnosticism to atheism.
And you're so right about religion being a support structure. Without it I was afraid shit would just fall apart and man, what do you even build on the spot that used to be your whole life? even if that life was full of helplessness and guilt and shame and never enough faith to trowel over the important questions it couldn't answer? and then it was a lot of painful work to dismantle it and after that there were some really fun existential crises because I thought the alternative to believing in god was believing in nothing.
But of course, that was silly: I believe in logic and science and love and compassion and responsibility and sincerity.
And obviously I'd be kidding myself if I said I have it all figured out because man look around the universe is infinitely vast but that's ok now because I get to choose my own standards of measurement. Now I get to decide what's important in my life. I can say "fuck destiny" and take shit into my own hands. I can live as large or as small as I want to. I get to choose what the answer to the open question that is my brief existence is.

Sorry, but you're dead wrong again. Just like when you said Spain wasn't part of Europe.
This finantial crisis was the direct result of policies put in place under Clinton, and the practices of Freddie and Fannie.
Obama is bankrupting the country, at the tune of a trillion+ dollars a year. He's spending over 4 times more then any president in the history of the united states.
Look, get this straight right now b/c apparently your reading comprehension is sub-par.... I never said, implied or insinuated that Spain was not part of Europe, my point was that Spain is as European as "Apple Pie is American".... just to use a common phrase... I can't even talk to somebody that can twist shit so far out of whack . there is no sense b/c a person can never have a rational conversation if there is ever a disagreement between the two...
You said spain wasn't really part of Europe, it was just a peninsula, and their people weren't really considered europeans.
Then you realized how stupid you looked and started dancing.
You're not only ignorant, but a bold faced liar.

@Kevin-V Ah, sorry about that, i made that comment before i actually tried the update and i was expecting much greater improvements in terms of visuals. The trailer for the update made it seem like the dx11 features would be noticeable throughout the game but it seems like there was very little dx11 tessellation and the lighting improvements seemed fairly minor for the most part. It's very hard to see the differences in a video.

Yesterday evening I was just a normal guy going to get dinner in Portland, when I was returning to my car which was parked at the corner of Hawthorne and 49th I walked into the middle of a heated anti-police protest being carried out by a group of about 30-40 vocal protesters. This is my first hand account citizen witness of the protest incident as it unfolded. Here are links to all of my witness photography of this protest on flickr and all of the videos I shot of the protest on Vimeo.
Prelude to a Random Protest
I was working all day and up into the evening on Tuesday March 23rd on my laptop at cafe on Hawthorne. I drove up and parked my car the the corner of 49th & Hawthorne walked up to the Sapphire Hotel and ordered dinner to go. I got my dinner and walked back down to my car, but as I crossed the street I noticed that something was going down on Hawthorne. A black line of people were silhouetted in the night against a backdrop of red and blue flashing lights, they were advancing towards me. I hopped in my car, set my to-go dinner on the passenger seat and quickly pulled my car off onto the side street parking it there, as I did I could see in the rear view protesters rapidly approaching and heard shouting.
Citizens of Portland, Carry a Camera
I felt in my gut that something important was happening or going to happen. So I grabbed my camera out of my bag, locked my car stepped out to the corner of the street and just started shooting the protest. The protesters turned off of Hawthorne Blvd onto on 49th Street headed into a residential area. I think it is important to say here that I have no knowledge of what occurred with the protest or the police up to this point.
The Protesters Turn onto 49th
There was a lot of police following them marked cars, unmarked cars, motorcycles and officers on foot. I estimated the group of protesters to be about 30-40 in number and they were on foot, skateboards and bicycle. As the group of protesters rounded the corner onto 49th a few of them knocked trash cans and a street sign from the side of Tanker Bar out into the street to block the police cars who were driving very close behind them. At this point I figured out what the protests were about, because I overheard two people who were watching talking about the Police the fatal shooting and of a man with at the Hoyt Arboretum.
Some people came out of the bar to see what happened and one woman commented
"Well that is a good way to get yourself arrested." – A Bystander
A police officer stepped out of his patrol vehicle and threw the sign from the Tanker back onto the side walk, then resumed following the protesters up 49th Street. You can see this here in Video 1 -

Why not just walk to the sidewalk an place the sign back where it belonged? A few Portlanders did put the signs and the trashcans back on the side of the building. At this point I decided to follow the protest, photograph and shoot video of it.
The Second Protest In Two Days
The protesters were chanting angry anti-police slogans like this:
"FU*K THE POLICE! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!" – The Protesters
"Cops! Pigs! Murders!" – The Protesters
Here you can see, hear the chants and the police ordering the protesters out of the street, threatening that anyone could be arrested and anytime here in Video 2 -

This video contains footage of exactly how the anti-police protest escalated. The protesters were walking in the street on 49th/50th Ave, the lead line of police on motorcycles who were following began to rev their motorbike engines accelerating up too close behind the protesters.
Portland Police Brutality Protest and Assault 3 from Todd Pitt on Vimeo.
Shocked witnesses, concerned citizens, photographers began shouting at the Portland Police -
"Look what you did! Look what you did! I saw you" – witnesses
"Are you going to run people over?" – witness
"You are running people over! Look at you." – witness
Here is some more footage of the same moments of the assault taken from a different angle by a East Portland KATU news.
A Portland Motorcycle Policeman escalated the situation at the protest to the point of violence by running into a protester with his motorcycle, then a protester retaliated, hurtling his bicycle at and striking the Police Officer. The man who allegedly assaulted the Portland Motorcycle Policeman was named Joel David Dow. He was charged with assault second degree and assaulting a public safety officer, bail was set in the ballpark of $290,000.

March Continued to Police Building On Burnside
The protesters took the march to the police literally. They marched too and stopping right in front of the SE police traffic division building on Burnside. The police set up a perimeter, guarding the station. The protesters rallied around the station Flag, periodically chanting and drumming.

I want to make a few things very clear. I was first person witness, a citizen journalist by happenstance and I am not affiliated with any government organization, the cops and was not a part of the protesters or the protest group who organized this event. I just saw what happened. All of the videos and images I took are original and unedited, you can use them but must link to the sources and this post.


text: Welcome to the Guild, MissyChan. I hope you find plenty of RP to enjoy here. Don't worry about your spelling and grammar, it is very good. We have native speakers here who don't do so well. Not to mention plenty of other members for whom English is not their first language. If you have any questions about how things are done around here just ask, plenty of helpful people around to answer. I do suggest you read this Guide just to see how things are set up just in case it is different from what you are used to. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Happy RPing.

Hope's Charitable Christian Medical Clinic Gets New Home
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: March 6, 2013
The organization began working in the town's health office, but due to a high volume of clients, they quickly outgrew the space.
They have now settled down in a building on Main Street, which had been vacant for more than 25 years, but was recently cleaned up and restored.
Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality's (ADEQ) Katherine Benenati says it was a grueling process:
"There was lead paint, there was asbestos, so all that had to be removed," she says. "But before that could take place, there were a number of chemicals, number of pharmaceuticals that had to be taken out."
The facility will serve low-income and uninsured people in Hope and Hempstead Counties.
