An Amazing Life: Robert de La Rochefoucauld, World War II Saboteur
As brother Jim Memmott tweeted: "Good heavens, what a life."
Read this New York Times obituary of Robert de La Rochefoucauld and we bet you'll say something like that too. As the Times writes, in World War II the French count's exploits as an agent for the British:
"Were legend, involving an eclectic and decidedly resourceful collection of tools in the service of sabotage and escape, including loaves of bread, a stolen limousine, the leg of a table, a bicycle and a nun's habit, not to mention the more established accouterments of espionage like parachutes, explosives and a submarine."
He died on May 8 at the age of 88. But as the Times says, "perhaps befitting a man whose wartime adventures were accomplished out of the public eye" word of his death is only slowly emerging.
Count de La Rochefoucauld's "epic awesomeness," The Atlantic Wire notes, included:
-- Being captured and condemned to death by the Nazis twice, but escaping each time.
-- Faking an epileptic seizure to draw a guard's attention then killing the guard with a blow from a table leg.
-- Dressing in a nun's habit to sneak past Nazi patrols.
-- Blowing up a Nazi munitions factory. He smuggled the explosives "in hollowed-out loaves of bread," the Times writes.
-- Parachuting into France twice. On one mission, he destroyed an electric substation and blew up railroad tracks, the Times says.
Also amazing to think about: at the age of 15, according to The Telegraph, "he was taken on a school trip to Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat. The Fuehrer patted La Rochefoucauld on the cheek affectionately — at the time a dream come true for the 15-year-old, who along with his schoolmates had attached swastikas to their bicycles."
Four decades after the war, The Telegraph adds, the count testified for the defense at the trial of Maurice Papon, a Vichy official "accused of deporting 1600 Jews from the city." Papon claimed he had helped the resistance during the war, and Count de La Rochefoucauld said that was true. But Papon was convicted. Soon after, Papon fled to Switzerland — using Count de La Rochefoucauld's name and passport.
The count is, appropriately enough, being featured at the blog Badass of the Week.

NEW YORK – Tomas Vokoun and the rest of the Penguins have Madison Square Garden figured out. Now they just have to find their comfort zone back home in Pittsburgh.
Vokoun stopped 28 shots for his 49th NHL shutout, and the Penguins scored on the first shot of the first and third periods in a 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday night.
The Penguins are 0-2 in Pittsburgh but 4-1 on the road — including a 2-0 mark at Madison Square Garden, with the veteran Vokoun backstopping both victories in his first season with the team.
"We knew we were going to get a guy who can come in and win big games for us, and he's done that twice in this building," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said of the 36-year-old Vokoun. "He had two or three big saves that he had to make. He was great."
Two or three was basically the extent of the offensive pressure generated by the Rangers, whose best scoring chances were a pair of drives that struck posts in the third period.
Vokoun played with the lead all night. Evgeni Malkin made it 1-0 just 1:24 in, James Neal added a power-play goal 28 seconds into the third period — after another costly too many men on the ice penalty for the Rangers — and Simon Despres netted his second NHL goal to give Pittsburgh (4-3) its second win in five games.
Malkin added an assist, as did captain Sidney Crosby, on Neal's goal. Despres, a young defenseman, came out of the penalty box to score at 10:23 of the third right after Rangers defenseman Anton Stralman hit the post at the other end.
"I was imagining it in the penalty box," Despres said with a smile, regarding the pass from Pascal Dupuis that sent him in on a breakaway. "It's the first time in my career. I have been imagining it all my life."
Pittsburgh has only one fewer win in New York this season than the host Rangers, who had won three of four overall.
Vokoun was steady throughout in earning his 289th NHL victory, but wasn't challenged much by the Rangers (3-4), who have scored two goals or fewer in four games.
Even he acknowledged he had a less taxing night than Rangers counterpart Henrik Lundqvist.
"All the shots were coming straight at me, so it makes it a lot easier," Vokoun said. "Certainly my game was a lot easier than his."
New York struggled in its first game without captain Ryan Callahan, expected to be sidelined 10-14 days by a shoulder injury sustained Tuesday in a win against Philadelphia.
"It was probably the worst we've played all year, collectively," Rangers coach John Tortorella said.
Vokoun, who relieved goalie Marc-Andre Fleury in Pittsburgh's 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday, got another start against the Rangers. Vokoun (2-1) has split time with Fleury, playing in four games.
The Penguins jumped on the Rangers early, just as they did in New York's home opener on Jan. 20 when Pittsburgh chased Lundqvist from the net.
Malkin fired a drive from the lower portion of the right circle that got through a screen and beat the surprised Lundqvist at 1:24. Pittsburgh scored just 1:48 into the previous matchup — the first of three first-period goals en route to a 6-3 victory.
Lundqvist, who has played in every game this season, made 26 saves.
"I thought it was a terrible game," Lundqvist said. "Early on you're looking for a good start and good things to happen so you can build from that, but obviously that didn't happen.
"It was still a 1-0 game until the third so we definitely had our chances to come back. We just had a tough time trying to get things going."
Play was disjointed in the second period and filled with numerous offsides and icing calls along with a variety of penalties on each side. The Rangers were whistled for four penalties, including the too many men call that carried over into the third.
Tortorella fumed Tuesday after Carl Hagelin jumped onto the ice early, a penalty that led directly to Philadelphia's only goal in the Rangers' 2-1 win. The coach was no happier after this one.
"Not paying attention," Tortorella said.
It marked the third straight game in which the Rangers gave up a goal after a penalty for too many men.
"It's something that needs to stop, obviously," defenseman Marc Staal said.
The call came right after the Rangers managed to keep their deficit at one goal when Lundqvist deflected away a drive by Crosby on a breakaway with 50 seconds left in the middle period.
"It was a sloppy, sloppy game," Rangers forward Brad Richards said. "I can't imagine anybody said either team played that well. They scored and that was the difference.
"We couldn't make passes, couldn't make plays. It was just a mess. We didn't make it too tough on their goalie. That's why he gets a shutout."
NOTES: Vokoun, a 14-year veteran, is the only NHL goalie with at least four shutouts each season since 2005-06. ... Rangers D Matt Gilroy made his season debut, taking the lineup spot created by Callahan's injury. ... Pittsburgh claimed LW Zach Boychuk off waivers from the Carolina Hurricanes. He is expected to join the team on Friday. ... D Robert Bortuzzo made his season debut for Pittsburgh. D Ben Lovejoy sat out. ... The Rangers were 0 for 4 on the power play and are 3 for 28 this season. Pittsburgh was 1 for 6 with the advantage.

OLD BRIDGE, NJ – A New Jersey woman is looking to break an unusual record and has piqued the interest of Tonya!
Donna Simpson, who already tips the scales at 600 pounds, is looking to double her weight in a bid to become the world's fattest woman. The 42-year-old says that she is set on reaching the 1,000 pound mark over the next two years.
"My favorite foes is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go," she told London's Daily Mail in an interview. "I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favorite."
Health concerns will certainly be at the forefront, but Simpson insists she's healthy. Hard to believe when she can't walk and needs a motorized scooter to move around. Simpson wears 7XL dresses and makes fast food such as hamburgers and french fries a staple of her diet.
"Donna makes my eating routine seem like a joke. She does, however, make 7XL dresses look good. Bigger is Better!" Tonya, the world's fattest cat, said through her spokeswoman.
To reach this unbelievable goal, Simpson says she consumes roughly 12,000 calories a day – the average woman should only consume 2,000. Her food bill runs somewhere in the $750 range for the week and she funds her eating habits by running a Web site where men pay to watch her eat.
"This is a woman after my own heart," said Tonya through her spokeswoman. "I love sushi! I love sweet things! I love doughnuts! Donna Simpson has brought a tear to my eye and she has my full support in her quest. Come to think of it, I would love to be with her on her journey because I certainly would never go hungry."

The Memphis-Shelby County Economic Development Growth Engine board has approved a five-year tax freeze for TJX Cos. Inc., which is opening a new distribution center in Memphis.
The company's tax incentive will be used to help it complete the project, which will include creating 40 jobs here and investing almost $7 million. The retail and home furnishings company owns and/or operates under brand names such as T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, and it recently signed a lease for 414,076 square feet at Chickasaw Distribution Center Building D, 6100 E. Holmes Road, suite 101.
The company's goal is to boost its local employment eventually to 117 full-time positions.
John Alexander is the new CEO of Hunter Fan Co.
Alexander replaces Chuck Smith, who is transitioning to a senior advisory role for the company's board. Smith worked with Hunter for 14 years, including six as CEO.
Alexander spent most of his career at Whirlpool Corp. As vice president and general manager of Whirlpool's $3 billion Whirlpool brand, Alexander helped grow market share by creating customer loyalty programs, introducing new products, and working closely with key customers. As vice president of new business development and innovation, he led new high-growth businesses such as Gladiator, Commercial Laundry and Whirlpool's licensing business.
Most recently, Alexander was president of the Americas for Diversey Inc., a $3 billion leading global provider of cleaning and hygiene products.
During his three years at Diversey, Alexander helped introduce new products, expand international distribution, and led his organization to sustained annual profitable growth.
Pennsylvania-based Exeter Property Group has awarded the facilities management assignment of its newly acquired, 2.5 million-square-foot industrial portfolio to Cushman & Wakefield/Commercial Advisors Asset Services LLC. The four buildings were acquired from DCT Industrial.
Mark Jenkins, principal of Commercial Advisors Asset Services, said in a release that it's an assignment his firm had previously with an institutional owner. Memphis-based Commercial Advisors manages and/or leases a portfolio of 24 million square feet in the Mid-South region. Commercial Advisors already works with Exeter as leasing agents on several of Exeter's other buildings.
The four Class A buildings in the Southeast submarket include Memphis Trade Center III – a 74.1 percent leased, 1 million-square-foot building at 3955 E. Holmes Road completed in 2001. Commercial Advisors also has the leasing assignment for the 269,000-square-foot availability in the multi-tenant building.
The other three buildings are all fully leased to single tenants. Completed in 2003, the 806,000-square-foot Memphis Oaks Phase II at 5140 Memphis Oaks Drive is fully occupied by Technicolor Inc. The 400,000-square-foot Southpoint building, at 5155 Citation Drive, was completed in 2000 and is home to AT&T Cingular. And Ozburn Hessey Logistics occupies Distriplex Farms, a 300,000-square-foot building at 6225 Global Drive built in 2000.
The Memphis City Council approved Tuesday, March 19, on third and final reading an ordinance that gives the police director the discretion to set conditions on parades, marches and demonstrations.
The conditions include requiring any group from outside Shelby County seeking a march permit to put up a surety bond or deposit that is half of the cost of providing police protection. It also bans those in the gathering from carrying guns under Tennessee law or wearing masks or other disguises.
The council began its consideration of the ordinance last month as a Ku Klux Klan organization announced its intention to demonstrate March 30 on the steps of the Shelby County Courthouse. The organization later filed for a permit with the city and the permit was granted.
The ordinance's provisions for a surety bond or deposit for police services will not apply to the Klan march, Collins said, on the advice of city attorneys.
The council also approved a resolution designating four on-street parking spaces for car-sharing vehicles as part of a three-year pilot project run by the Downtown Memphis Commission.
The commission is working to find a company that will operate under contract to run the business in which customers could rent the cars on a short-term basis.
The parking spots will be free of charge to that company during the pilot period.
Two of the parking places are on the north side of Gayoso Avenue in the block between South Main Street and Nov. 6 Street. The other two are on the east side of South Main between Huling and Talbot streets.
The leader of the steering committee of school administrators making schools merger recommendations to the countywide school board may be leaving.
Tim Setterlund, Shelby County Schools assistant superintendent, is one of seven finalists to become superintendent of the Oak Ridge, Tenn., school system.
The Oak Ridge Schools board hopes to make its selection at the end of March or sometime in April.
The national search in Oak Ridge began in July.
Setterlund, the former principal of Collierville High School, became superintendent John Aitken's assistant superintendent of research, planning and transition in December 2011.
Aitken resigned this week as superintendent in a contract buyout approved unanimously by the countywide school board.
Setterlund's departure would be a second blow to the merger efforts, which are reaching a critical stage less than five months before the first day of classes for the consolidated school system.
Setterlund has been leading the team of administrators who review merger recommendations from the consolidation planning commission and then present the steering committees recommendations to the board for their action.
Duncan-Williams Inc. has tapped Jim Cherry, a 15-year veteran of the financial services industry, to be the firm's new chief compliance officer.
As such, he'll be responsible for reviewing, analyzing and evaluating risk assessment across all business units. He also will oversee the compliance program for the firm's broker-dealer and registered investment adviser and serve as the firm's regulatory liaison.
Cherry joined the firm's compliance department in 2009 as director of fixed-income compliance and later served as director of private client group compliance.
Imagine Vegan Café has found a new home about three blocks east of its current location in Midtown's Cooper-Young neighborhood.
The family-friendly, 100-percent vegan café's last day at its current 2156 Young Ave. location will be Friday, March 29. Imagine hopes to re-open its new location at 2299 Young Ave. at the corner of East Parkway and Young by Friday, April 5, if inspections go as planned.
"We kind of wanted this place to be like you're walking into our house for dinner," Kristie Jeffrey said. "We're moving into a house, it's just fantastic. It really is going to be like our second home."
Chef Kristie Jeffrey and her husband, Adam Jeffrey, opened Imagine in April 2011 in the old Casablanca space. The new location is a bungalow house built in 1912 that formerly housed Fork It Over Catering space.
Kristie Jeffrey said Imagine's landlord at 2156 Young, listed as Brown Family Revocable Trust and Larry McCulley with the Shelby County Assessor of Property, wanted to either raise Imagine's lease by 10 percent or terminate its lease.
Jimmy Lewis with Rasberry CRE handled the deal for landlords Jay and Michelle Campbell.
Mayors from Mississippi River communities are joining with members of Congress to draw attention to the waterway and the needs of communities dotting its banks.
About a dozen mayors from communities big and small were in Washington on Thursday to announce formation of the Mississippi River Platform. The goal is to raise awareness of issues such as water quality, community development and drought and flood preparation.
The mayors, members of the Mississippi River Cities & Towns Initiative, will work with the newly formed Mississippi River Caucus. That's a bi-partisan group of members of Congress.
The river attracted a lot of attention over the winter when drought caused it to dip near record low levels between St. Louis and Cairo, Ill. Barges were forced to reduce loads and traffic was nearly halted.
A measure of the U.S. economy's health over the next six months increased in February from January, a sign that growth could be improving.
The Conference Board said Thursday that its index of leading indicators rose 0.5 percent in February to 94.8. That followed an equal gain in January, which was revised higher. The gauge is designed to anticipate economic conditions three to six months out.
The increase was also more broad-based, with eight of its 10 components rising. That compared with only five in January and six in December.
A gain in housing permits, a longer manufacturing workweek and rising stock prices were among the elements that drove the index higher. Lower orders for large manufactured goods and lower consumer outlook for business conditions limited the gain.
The economy "may be developing some resilience against headwinds from ... federal spending cuts," Ataman Ozyildrim, an economist at the Conference Board, said.
A steady recovery in housing and rising job gains could be offsetting the cuts, he added. Automatic government spending cuts of $85 billion kicked in March 1, though their impact may not be felt until April and May when layoffs at government agencies and contractors will likely start.
The index is derived from data that for the most part have already been reported individually.
The developer behind a planned $1.1 billion steel mill in Northeast Arkansas says he hopes to break ground on the project this fall if everything goes as planned.
The Legislature still needs to approve $125 million in state financing for the proposed Big River Steel mill to be built near Osceola.
Developer John Correnti spoke Tuesday with Mississippi County officials regarding the project.
According to the Courier News, Correnti says he hopes to have a construction and operating permit by the end of April.
Officials say the mill will create more than 2,000 temporary construction jobs and more than 500 jobs once it's up and running.
The Legislature is expected to discuss the financing next week.
Freddie Mac has sued 15 big international banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup, accusing them of rigging a key interest rate and causing huge losses for the government-controlled mortgage giant.
Freddie filed the lawsuit in federal court in Alexandria, Va. It names the banks that set the London interbank offered rate, known as LIBOR, which provides the basis for trillions of dollars in contracts around the world, including mortgages, bonds and consumer loans.
In a growing scandal, two big British banks and Switzerland's largest have been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for manipulating LIBOR by U.S. and British regulators.
A U.S. watchdog has found that Freddie and its larger sibling Fannie Mae together may have lost more than $3 billion on their investments from banks' rate-rigging.
United Housing has helped launch a new national movement called Home Matters, aiming to build public support for the role that a home plays in thriving lives, families and a stronger economy.
Home Matters is spearheaded by National NeighborWorks Association – of which Memphis-based United Housing is a member – along with a coalition of housing and community development organizations and nonprofits.
As it expands, Home Matters will go beyond housing and illuminate the connections between stable housing and other important facets of American life, such as individual success, education, health and public safety. The Home Matters website is www.HomeMattersAmerica.com.
Now in its 18th year, United Housing offers homebuyer education, credit counseling and affordable lending practices to low to moderate first-time homebuyers. The nonprofit earlier this year moved from its long-time Midtown offices to 2750 Colony Park Drive, near the old Mall of Memphis site in the Oakhaven/Parkway Village area.
U.S. builders started more homes in February and permits for future construction rose at the fastest pace in 4.5 years. The increases point to a housing recovery that is gaining strength.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that builders broke ground on houses and apartments last month at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 917,000. That's up from 910,000 in January. And it's the second-fastest pace since June 2008, behind December's rate of 982,000.
Single-family home construction increased to an annual rate of 618,000, the most in 4 1/2 years. Apartment construction also ticked up, to 285,000.
The gains are likely to grow even faster in the coming months. Building permits, a sign of future construction, increased 4.6 percent to 946,000. That was also the most since June 2008, just a few months into the Great Recession.
Separately, a private report showed the number of Americans with equity in their homes increased last year. That suggests one of the biggest drags from the housing crisis is easing and could clear the way for more people to put homes on the market.
Housing starts jumped in the Northeast and Midwest, while they fell in the South and West. Permits rose in the South, West and Midwest, falling only in the Northeast.
The U.S. housing market is recovering after stagnating for roughly five years. Steady job gains and near-record-low mortgage rates have encouraged more people to buy.
In addition, more people are seeking their own homes after doubling up with friends and relatives in the recession. That's leading to greater demand for apartments and single-family homes to rent.
Sen. Bill Ketron has delayed a final committee vote on supermarket wine so he can rewrite the bill to keep cigarettes from being sold in liquor stores.
The Murfreesboro Republican said Tuesday that he still intends to move the bill to hold local referendums on whether to allow wine sales in grocery and convenience stores through the Senate Finance Committee as early as next week, but that he would then put the measure on hold before receiving a full floor vote.
The House version of the bill surprisingly failed in the Local Government Committee last week. Proponents hope the measure could be revived this year or next.
Under current law, supermarkets can't sell any alcohol stronger than beer, while package stores can't sell anything other than wine, liquor and lottery tickets.
The Assisi Foundation of Memphis has awarded Briarcrest Christian School a $100,000 grant to be used for the construction of the Dr. Willard R. Sparks Chapel and Performing Arts Center.
The balance of the project will be funded by net proceeds from the sale of Briarcrest's East Memphis campus to Highpoint Church, a lead gift to the school by the Sparks Foundation and a modest capital campaign.
The new 35,000-square-foot facility will be the centerpiece of the Houston Levee Road campus, featuring a 1,000-seat venue, which will be named the Dr. Willard R. Sparks Chapel and Performing Arts Center.
In addition to the chapel and performing arts center, the new facility will include additional classrooms and practice rooms for the performing arts, a full theatrical stage, backstage holding areas, full dressing rooms, set workshop, orchestra pit and an informal art gallery. The addition will also be the new home of the administrative offices, which will include the admissions, business affairs, communications, development and information technology departments, as well as the headmaster's and president's offices.
Construction of the Sparks Chapel and Performing Arts Center is currently under way and is expected to be completed by fall.
A division of FedEx has agreed to pay New York City $2.4 million to settle an accusation that it improperly delivered up to 70 tons of contraband cigarettes.
The city sued FedEx Ground for accepting packages from a Kentucky company called CigarettesDirect2U, which helped New Yorkers evade high cigarette taxes by shipping untaxed cartons from out of state. Those types of sales are illegal. CigarettesDirect2U was shut down by federal authorities in 2009.
FedEx Ground said in a statement it was paying the money to avoid expensive litigation, and not because it had done anything wrong.
The company said it already prohibits illegal tobacco shipments and would cooperate with New York City to ensure that shippers comply with that policy.
Starting this week, Magna Bank will begin airing a 30-second TV ad as part of its "We're For You" print, online and broadcast advertising campaign.
The ad will air in the Memphis market on local networks, select cable channels and also on YouTube.
Magna's "We're For You" campaign was developed with Memphis-based Sullivan Branding, and it's built around showing how the bank helps customers meet their financial goals.
Magna's TV ad will air in the market through June, then again during the fall.
Accion in Tennessee is opening a new Memphis office Downtown this week.
The Accion office will be at EmergeMemphis, 516 Tennessee St., with a grand opening Thursday, March 21, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Accion is an extension of Accion Texas Inc., a microlender, which began operations in Tennessee in early 2012. To date, Accion has loaned almost $90,000 to Memphis-area small-business owners, according to the firm.

Five DIY Recycled Kitchen Countertop Ideas
There are so many clever, earth-friendly upcycling projects to do (and so little time!). Among the more dramatic of these projects is replacing a kitchen counter. The upcycled kitchen counters that I am about to discuss fit best into farmhouse-style or rustic-looking houses. Most of them involve some carpentry work or tile work, so if you are inexperienced, either hone your skills before attempting this project, or hire a highly skilled handyman to execute the project for you.
The upside of these projects is that they are a fantastic way to make use of large, leftover pieces of lumber. The downside (well, it is not exactly a downside; maybe it's a limitation) is that the look is rustic. If chippy, or shabby chic, is your style, then one of these countertops could complete the look of your vintage-inspired, ecological farmhouse haven.
Now let's rumble.
Upcycled fence board countertop: Blogger Shannon from Fox Hollow Cottage built a countertop from old cedar planks. She painted it chippy turquoise. Her counter is built like a floating shelf, but a similar design and a more resilient, water-tight finish could be employed for a kitchen island countertop.
Pine plank countertop: For a more polished look than the upcycled fence board countertop, consider a pine plank countertop like the one built by Lisa Pennington from The Pennington Point. Lisa built her countertops for $61! Just seal it well.
Countertop made from an old door: What can old doors not be used for? Interior designer and design blogger Linda Merrill built her own custom countertop by upcycling an old door. The look is quite polished, though slightly rustic. A handmade skirt ups the sophistication factor. Linda achieved a high shine on her countertop by painting it with glossy exterior trim paint. She prepped and primed the door carefully to ensure the smoothest paint application.
Countertop tiled with pennies: Though not a professional tile contractor, San Antonio blogger Ashley from Domestic Imperfection tiled her countertop with pennies. Question: Is this a good use of money? Well, all those pennies add up to less than it would have cost her to install a granite slab. Ashley reports that her epoxy-covered penny countertop is very watertight (she even dries her dishes on it).
Butler pantry counter made from upcycled old dresser: If you need a counter area right away for a small space, consider upcycling an old dresser. Gypsy Barn, a furniture upcycler in Ontario, has built quite a few coffee stations from old dressers. The old dresser becomes a mini-kitchen island or cabinet with counter.

NEW YORK (AP) – Two major airports reopened and the New York Stock Exchange got back to business Wednesday, while across the river in New Jersey, National Guardsmen rushed to feed and rescue flood victims two days after Superstorm Sandy struck.
For the first time since the storm slammed the Northeast, killing at least 62 people and inflicting billions of dollars in damage, brilliant sunshine washed over the nation's largest city – a striking sight after days of gray skies, rain and wind.
At the stock exchange, running on generator power, Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave a thumbs-up and rang the opening bell to whoops from traders on the floor. Trading resumed after the first two-day weather shutdown since the Blizzard of 1888.
New York's subway system was still down, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo said parts of it will begin running again on Thursday. And he said some commuter rail service between the city and its suburbs would resume on Wednesday afternoon.
Kennedy and Newark Liberty airports began handling flights again just after 7 a.m. New York's LaGuardia Airport, which suffered far worse damage and still had water on its runways, remained closed.
It was clear that restoring the region to its ordinarily frenetic pace could take days – and that rebuilding the hardest-hit communities and the transportation networks that link them could take considerably longer.
About 6 million homes and businesses were still without power, mostly in New York and New Jersey. Electricity was out as far west as Wisconsin and as far south as the Carolinas.
The scale of the challenge could be seen across the Hudson River in New Jersey, where National Guard trucks rolled into heavily flooded Hoboken to deliver ready-to-eat meals and other supplies and to evacuate people from their condo high-rises, brownstones and other homes.
The mayor of the city of 50,000 issued an appeal for people to bring boats to City Hall to help with the evacuation.
Natural gas fires raged Wednesday in a section of Brick Township, N.J., where dozens of houses were devastated by the storm's surge. No injuries were reported.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie issued an order postponing Halloween trick-or-treating until Monday, saying floodwaters, downed electrical wires, power outages and fallen trees made it too dangerous for children to go out.
President Barack Obama planned to visit Atlantic City, N.J., which was directly in the storm's path Monday night and saw part of its historic boardwalk washed away.
Outages in the state's two largest cities, Newark and Jersey City, left traffic signals dark, resulting in fender-benders at intersections where police were not directing traffic. At one Jersey City supermarket, there were long lines to get bread and use an electrical outlet to charge cellphones.
Amid the despair, talk of recovery was already beginning.
"It's heartbreaking after being here 37 years," Barry Prezioso of Point Pleasant, N.J., said as he returned to his house in the beachfront community. "You see your home demolished like this, it's tough. But nobody got hurt and the upstairs is still livable, so we can still live upstairs and clean this out. I'm sure there's people that had worse. I feel kind of lucky."
As New York began its second day after the megastorm, morning rush-hour traffic was heavy as people started returning to work. There was even a sign of normalcy: commuters waiting at bus stops. School was out for a third day.
The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan, and the Holland Tunnel, between New York and New Jersey, remained closed. But bridges into the city were open, and city buses were running, free of charge.
On the Brooklyn Bridge, closed earlier because of high winds, joggers and bikers made their way across before sunrise. One cyclist carried a flashlight. Car traffic on the bridge was busy.
The subway system suffered the worst damage in its 108-year history, with floodwaters swamping tunnels and stations and threatening the electrical wiring. Experts said the cost of the repairs could be staggering.
Amtrak trains were still not running in or out of New York's Penn Station because of tunnel flooding.
Power company Consolidated Edison said it could also be the weekend before power is restored to Manhattan and Brooklyn, perhaps longer for other New York boroughs and the suburbs. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost power.
The recovery and rebuilding will take far longer.
When New Jersey's governor stopped in Belmar, N.J., during a tour of the devastation, one woman wept, and 42-year-old Walter Patrickis told him, "Governor, I lost everything."
Christie, who called the shore damage "unthinkable," said a full recovery would take months, at least, and it would probably be a week or more before power is restored to everyone who lost it.
"Now we've got a big task ahead of us that we have to do together. This is the kind of thing New Jerseyans are built for," he said.
Forecasting firm IHS Global Insight predicted it would cause $20 billion in damage and $10 billion to $30 billion in lost business. Another firm, AIR Worldwide, estimated losses up to $15 billion.
In Connecticut, some residents of Fairfield returned home in kayaks and canoes to inspect the flood damage.
"The uncertainty is the worst," said Jessica Levitt, who was told it could be a week before she can enter her house. "Even if we had damage, you just want to be able to do something. We can't even get started."
In New York, residents of the flooded beachfront neighborhood of Breezy Point in returned home to find fire had taken everything the water had not. A huge blaze destroyed perhaps 100 homes in the close-knit community where many had stayed behind despite being told to evacuate.
John Frawley acknowledged the mistake. Frawley, who lived about five houses from the fire's edge, said he spent the night terrified "not knowing if the fire was going to jump the boulevard and come up to my house."
"I stayed up all night," he said. "The screams. The fire. It was horrifying."

What's New
Transat Standard Font by Typetanic
Transat is a geometric sans serif typeface, with caps inspired by Art Deco signage — found inside the "Gare Maritime" (literally "sea station") ocean liner terminals in both Le Havre and Cherbourg, France, in the early 1930s. The name "Transat" is the common shortening of "Compagnie Générale Transatlantique," the company that operated majestic ocean liners like the SS Normandie out of Le Havre from 1862–1974. (Transat also has a more rational text-friendly companion font, "Transat Text")
Transat includes many OpenType features, such as ligatures (ff/ft/fft), small capitals, case sensitive forms, stylistic alternates, arbitrary fractions, and a full complement of proportional, tabular, and oldstyle figures. Transat is released in 5 weights plus including optically-corrected obliques.

Strategic Organization DesignAdd to Favourites
Strategic Organization Design will introduce new topics and modules with even more real world examples and opportunities for student interaction than its predecessors Competitive Strategy (https://www.coursera.org/learn/competitive-strategy) and Advanced Competitive Strategy (https://www.coursera.org/learn/advanced-competitive-strategy). The final course in the Competitive Strategy and Organization Design specialization covers the internal workings of an organization and its interactions with the outside world. Where the first two courses mainly covered the way firms interact with the outside world, in particular competitors and complementors, the third course looks at the way a firm's organization should be designed to compete effectively.

Simply beautiful!ReplyDelete
Inspiring shots, Rosa...gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Amazing photos here. They do transport me there! Well done.ReplyDelete
Pretty, so pretty :)ReplyDelete
So pretty. Although I love color and love to play with it in photos, black & white is so great. Although I prefer digital to film, I have to admit I miss Tri-X. Anyway, really good job. Like both of them, although the one of wheat is my favorite (I like the tonality, texture, and just the whole look). Thanks for this.ReplyDelete
Small pleasures are great pleasures. There is something about wheat that always draws me in - so basic - ancient and nourishing.ReplyDelete
Tu rends la vie monochrome.. superbe:)ReplyDelete
Superbe! Tu as raison, il n'y a pas de petits plaisirs... Tous sont bons à prendre! Bises...ReplyDelete
what would we cook without flour ?ReplyDelete
Liebe Grüsse
I love both photos, especially the wheat. Happy B&W Wednesday!ReplyDelete
I adore your B&W Wednesday. Fabulous Photos!ReplyDelete
Love the 'Waiting for Harvest' photo!ReplyDelete
Rosa la seconde est une merveille ! la nature...ReplyDelete
si pleine de vie !
Douce nuit et à bientôt...
I love the last picture!ReplyDelete
Love the harvest photo! Your black and white photos are always so striking!ReplyDelete
Absolutely serene and beautiful! Gorgeous Rosa!ReplyDelete
I always admire your monochrome pics - your eye always sees something different.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure which one I like better! :)ReplyDelete
You have a wonderful eye. You capture the common and make it extraordinary.ReplyDelete

Pictures of sheer beauty...ReplyDelete
A kiss from Greece,dear!
I have a friend who has a phrase for life: "A few good things." Words to live by.ReplyDelete
I love both of them, especially the wheat shot, it's amazing!ReplyDelete
I didn't know that B&W shots could add such uniqueness and drama to a picture! You always make feel happy with your B&W Wednesdays. Beautiful!
Gros bisous and have a nice weekend Rosa.
Interesting to see both colors and black and white with that first photo. Your photo edit skills are amazing as always Rosa!ReplyDelete
when the color disappears, i feel like i notice other things more prominently! very nice, rosa!ReplyDelete
Beautiful, as always:)ReplyDelete

Perfect pleasures!ReplyDelete
Wheat has never looked so gorgeous!ReplyDelete

Stunning pictures, as always. I love your black and white shots - full of creativity!ReplyDelete

|Will no one rid me of his turbulent chicken grease?
Let's face it, Beckett was lousy with the Red Sox this year. Still, Angevin him a partial pass for his performance since it's not entirely his fault that Boston Canterbury the hatchet with him over his clubhouse antics and his disinclination to perform penance for their historic 2011 collapse. After that, the rift was already too great to be bridged, it seems. When facing off against (de) Tracy's squad in Denver, let's hope that a change of circumstances restores him to being the pitching (de) Morville Josh instead of the the pompous (fitz)Urse Josh.
A major factor in our favor tonight is that we're facing off against Francis again, who has a 6.65 ERA in August, and gave up 3 runs in only 4 innings the last time the Dodgers faced him. I'm not a (le) Breton man, but if I were, I'd be inclined to take the over on this one.
*American League numbers, but they still count, people.

Lemon Tree Dress
This is made from a silk and cotton blend that I bought at Mood. I love fruit prints, don't you? And this one was so unusual I couldn't pass it up, especially in this luscious, slightly sheer blend.
The pattern is Advance 9441, one of the first vintage patterns I ever bought!
The only fitting change I made was to add a little width to the waist (no girdles in the summer, please!) and shorten the sleeves just a tad. And of course take some major length off the skirt, but that's a given for me with vintage patterns. I'm wearing it here without a crinoline, but it would be fun to add one for a super fluffy skirt.
Hey look, here's a shot with my new beige shoes! These are the Clarks I posted about here. I love them!
Henry doesn't care about the shoes, he just wanted to know when he was getting dinner.
This pattern is pretty simple and I went with a minimal, vintage-style construction. I used a metal zipper (one of the Riri zips that I lusted about in this post) and hand-picked it.
I just love this technique; it makes a garment feel so special I think. (Here's an excellent article on hand-picked zippers, by the way.)
I opted not to line and am wearing a slip with the dress instead. I pinked the seam allowances and facings.
Because this fabric is ever-so-slightly sheer, facings were a bit of a challenge. With a bold print like this, you run the risk of the facings showing through to the outside. First, I used a flesh-toned silk organza as interfacing. Then, to avoid show-through on the right side of the dress, I lined the back of the facings in a rayon lining fabric that matches my skin tone. This works like a nude bra - you can't detect it from the outside. Here are the layers of my facings:
(You'll notice that I got a cutting mat and rotary cutter - a birthday gift from my parents! I don't know how I lived without these tools.)
This pattern has underarm gussets - my first! They went in just fine.
I covered a belt buckle using a Dritz kit, purchased from Pacific Trim here in New York. I used 1" belting from Steinlauf and Stoller for the actual belt itself.
That's all for now! I've got a kitty that needs feeding . . .

That dress is utterly gorgeous and you look fab in it.ReplyDelete
I just love your Lemon Tree Dress. It makes me think of a bright and happy day. Thanks for the sewing tips on the facing. I am new to sewing and love hearing different ways to do things. Love your kitty too.ReplyDelete
I love it! So summery yet refined. I love all the details you put into it, they definitely make a difference. And of course - you look fabulous in it.ReplyDelete
Very cute dress. I love the lemons, it makes me think of summer inmediately. Thanks for the link to the hand-picking of the zipper. I never thought of doing it that way, but it sounds like something I absolutely want to try!ReplyDelete
Oh and the shoes? Gorgeous!
I used to have a dress with a print very similar to that when I was a little girl. :-)ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing the inside details. It's always interesting to see how others makes the finishing and how the thoughts go.
Ooh, those shoes are nice - and they look even nicer on! Are they as comfy as you were hoping for? The dress is lovely too of course! Love the print.ReplyDelete
That dress is fantastic -- perfect for summer.ReplyDelete
Marvellous. Love the fabric. Thinking now whether any of my patterns have a gusseted pit that I can practice. Hmmm....ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 10, 2010 at 9:12 AM
What a gorgeous print! And the dress is perfection with your new shoes.ReplyDelete
Lemon is such a mood brightener, good choice! The dress is so sweet. I love it when you show construction pics and details of your sewing, thanks! The shoes make your legs look long slender:)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 10, 2010 at 9:20 AM
A "little project" - ha!ReplyDelete
This is so pretty. The fabric is so lovely - perfect for spring/summer. I appreciate the construction pictures; I find them to be very helpful.
Beautiful dress! I'm glad that you got those shoes, they look great. Your technique on the facings is genius, I've been wrestling with buying semi-sheer fabrics for the sheer (ba dum dum chhh) difficulty of facings that won't show through. I never thought to use flesh-toned fabric! I am really jealous of your fabric selections - there just aren't any wonderful fabric stores in Boston (Winmill is about as close as we get to having "fashion" fabrics, but they're mostly super stretchy and/or chiffon). They did, however, have a great selection of organza. Maybe next time I'm down there I will buy a yard or two of flesh-tone fabric.ReplyDelete
Beautiful, really, just gorgeous. And so glad you got the rotary cutter!ReplyDelete
It's great. You must have a pretty freakin' awesome wardrobe by now!ReplyDelete
Wonderful dress on you ! Yes, I agree linings sometimes do take away from certain styles - I can't see it on the Lemon dress without weighting it down. I love the shoes - we have a clark's outlet here and I have been smitten!ReplyDelete
I especially love the placement of the pattern on the front bodice! The way the vines kind of look like they're creeping over one shoulder is really beautiful.ReplyDelete
you look great, and I love the dress! That fabric is so perfect. I am impressed by the belt, as well ;]ReplyDelete
fantastic job.ReplyDelete
Oh gosh! It's so sweet and the perfect compliment to some summertime groove. Love love love it! Thanks for the tip about the facings. I'm actually facing this problem and will be incoporating this into my next project.ReplyDelete
Pretty please could you do a tutorial for the Dritz buckle kits? I can not figure them out!ReplyDelete
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the lemon print, so summery! And what a nice job you did on the zipper, too. Love the dress, looks great on you!ReplyDelete
Cute dress!! It's perfect for spring! I love the metal zip!ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous spring dress! So uplifing, and it looks perfect with your new shoes.ReplyDelete

I just came across your blog looking for sewing tutorials. I love your idea to create Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing. Such an incredibly creative idea. I can't wait to try some of the looks (esp. the bow-tied blouse and gathered skirt)ReplyDelete
This dress is gorgeous, btw. Ahh, you are going to make me spend way too much money at the fabric store ;)

Lovely fabric, lovely dress. I think it would look awesome with a crinoline!ReplyDelete
Did you do something to you hair? It looks even nicer than usual. (There's some major hair-jealousy going on here...)
Great job. Love the self covered belt. The dress is just gorgeous.ReplyDelete

Gertie, when you post a finished project I always make gasp with delight and surprise. I love the lined facing tip. This is such a happy! dress. I love yellow and green.ReplyDelete
This turned out really cute. Love the fabric, and great idea with the nude facings/lining!ReplyDelete
Ii have been searching for a belt buckle covering kit all over and can't seem to find one! I'm glad to see that they still exist and I wasn't just imagining them. Do you know if they are carried online anywhere?ReplyDelete
And I'm also in love with that lemon fabric, it's so fresh and summery.
Oh this is pretty. I really like the colours and the print and the style. I have green shoes that would match, so when you get tired of it, send it my way.ReplyDelete

Love your dress, you are so talented!ReplyDelete
Love Ms Stef...
wow, seeing the fabric posted and now the dress is like... watching a pretty little girl grow up into a voluptuous and beautiful woman. You look so stunning in the close up shot of you, guess its hard not to beam after such an accomplishment. Glad to see you are rocking the nude shoes with a light and airy dress the way they were meant to be.ReplyDelete
The dress is beautiful and fresh - you look gorgeous in it. The shoes look absolutely fabulous. Great job. Hope Henry enjoyed his meal!ReplyDelete
Beautiful.. the dress and the kitteh! The pinked facings are so pretty too... something I haven't considered since I have an overlocker, but they really add to the vintage feel.ReplyDelete
Speaking of which... can you, Gertie, or any of your readers solve a retro pattern mystery for me?
Your dress truly has a vintage feel. It must be that gorgeous lemon print! (Why am I suddenly thirsty?)ReplyDelete
The dress is sooo gorgeous. I love everything about - from the pattern over the fabric up to the fabric covered belt buckle!ReplyDelete
Gertie, I really love this dress. I love how bright and happy it is. I think the shoes are very nice, too. I think because they are nude, the eye automatically goes up to the dress; basically, the shoes do not take attention away from the dress.ReplyDelete
Beautiful dress - very happy, summery and quite delicious. Love those shoes too!ReplyDelete
Always fabulous!!ReplyDelete
So creative to use nude colored facing! I'll have to remember this sometime.ReplyDelete
Also, loving the nude sandals. Major shoe lust!
I'm in love with that dress. The fabric is so lovely!ReplyDelete
-Andi x
Smashing... Love the print! And the shape is also gorgeous. Always inspiring, Gertie! Even making a non-print-girl thinking of prints...ReplyDelete
Eep! I love that print, mostly because I have a minor obsession with citrus. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
This looks exactly like a vintage dress I have! I wonder if it's the same pattern. I wish the person who made it was as clever as you, though, because it's not lined at all and the polka dots in the facings always show through.ReplyDelete
Hi Gertie, just letting you know and hope u don't mind that I used one of your images from this post for my post on handpicked zippers (http://www.sewmelove.com/2012/11/goodbye-invisible-zippers-hello.html)ReplyDelete
