Yesterday I alluded to the shortcomings of small wind turbines, and today I read about a device being sold by Honeywell that only reinforces my belief. I can't really think of look there super viagra anyone who'd benefit from Honeywell's Home Wind Turbine.
The device itself is a six foot wide turbine which generates 1,580 Kwh per year, according to Honeywell's promotional video. They went on to claim that it will provide you with 15% of your energy needs, and pay for itself in 12-36 months. In some states.
Let's examine this, shall we? The 15% comes from the assumption that the average household uses roughly 10-11,000 Kwh of electricity per year, 1,580 Kwh being roughly 15% of that. That's fine, except I have no doubt that the average suburban household uses more than 10-11,000, and those are the only households that would be interested in purchasing this system anyway.
Especially because it costs $4,500. I don't understand how they calculate the payback to be so short – the EIA estimates that electricity will cost an average of 12 cents/Kwh in 2010. 1,580 Kwh times 12 cents/Kwh gives you… $189.60 worth of electricity every year, which means you will pay off your system in 23 years. Even if electricity cost a whopping 30 cents/Kwh, it would still take 9 years. Unless my math is wrong, in which case please – correct me.
Parallels are often made between the try it buy cialis professional cleantech industry today and levitra free samples the computer industry of, say, the late 80's and early 90's. Perhaps some believe that, just like we used to pay thousands of dollars for computers that are now completely obsolete, people will pay similar prices for wind turbines, solar panels and electric cars at this stage in the game. I say – they won't. Computers were cool, and they made our lives better and easier. A six foot wind turbine that only produces a trickle of electricity doesn't affect my life very much, and isn't all that cool.

Also, my energy consumption is somewhere around 6 KWh/day, so this turbine would produce a whopping 72% of my household needs. Pretty amazing, really. How real are these figures? 1.5 MWh/annum in a 6ft turbine sounds too good to be true.
I can't immediately tell from the video, but it looks like it is generating power by dragging permanent magnets around a circular track -- presumably filled with coils? Genius! Why has it taken this long for someone to figure that out?

* on roofs of houses in urban areas often much less wind is available, there are turbulences caused by the buildings, trees, ...=> much less energy can be harvested
* with that: to build such mills it costs more energy than it can be harvested before they break
* additional costs: installation and levitra online pharmacy no prescription maintenance
See in the articles below, why small windmills seldom do deliver the promised energy.

Whether a wind turbine works for you depends greatly on how windy your site is. I know people living within a few miles of look there buy cheap viagra me who get almost all their electricity from a small windmill. I don't live in as windy a spot, I can't.
I'm getting 80+% of my power from PV solar. I have to burn some gallons of gas in a generator during the very good site cheap quality cialis cloudy months of winter. When I look at the price of a generator, tower, and installation I can't make the numbers work with gasoline in the neighborhood of $3 per gallon. When gas goes back above $5 per gallon I'll redo the math.
Unless one had an excellent site and lived where grid prices are high I doubt that this a windmill would be a good expenditure of personal/tax payer money.
Next, this turbing with its ~6 foot diameter is almost twice as expensive as a Bergey or Whisper turbine of the same size. I'd sure want to see some field tests to see if the extra money is somehow returned. There are issues of viagra generic canada reliability, frequency/cost of maintenance, performance in various wind speeds, and ability to withstand very high winds that need addressing.
If you'd like to get a basic understanding of what's on the market try this site...
and on the "Select a Product" drop-down pick "Windmills".
Also Home Power Magazine recently published a very thorough review of wind turbines.
There are products on the market which are pitched at "homeowners". Some are very over-hyped. I don't know if this is a similar product or not, so would advise careful study for dropping a few grand.

The main technological point is that this "edge generator" design can generate electricity from lower speed wind than many conventional design wind turbines can do, so there will be SOME locations that are not economic (even including rebates) with conventional designs, which will be economic with this design.
The open question is how many areas are in that situation. And, realistically, early adopters of the design are in part the buy viagra in europe guinea pigs who will help answer that question.
However, give that the target is a rooftop or similar installation, it seems like it ought to be possible to design some kind of inexpensive wind speed meter that can give an on-site estimate of its viability for a given site.

The thing is an expensive toy that will never pay for itself.
2000 kW is maybe 200 bucks - they are depending on incentives and subsidies - your tax dollars down the drain
Commercial turbines use a capacity factor of 30 to 35% - these guys are using 100%
They give some fancy way to determine output but simply take your average wind speed (say 10 mph) provides an output of 100 watts * hours (8760) * capacity factor (35%) / 1000 = 300 watts per year. Hell of a deal! Maybe 30 dollars per year return!
If you have 4500 dollars plus another 1500 to 2000 for installation why not just give it to Honeywell and save yourself a big headache - forget the turbine

The fact that even Honeywell claims that a handful of CFLs deliver a similar energy value *should* tell you something.
And Bruce... wind power varies with the cube of wind speed. So even if the rotor turns in 3mph winds, it's not going to generate much. Try cranking a 100 watt generator by hand sometime. It's a LOT of work.

A combination of a smallish PV system (1.5kW) and a decent small wind device (average wind speed in my location is excellent) would easily see me selling energy back to the grid.
Thus, these sort of small scale devices (I haven't looked at the technical details of this particular machine, though) are useful in some situations.

I'm happy to chime in.
As VP of Business Development and Marketing at WindTronics, I believe these comments assume same old same old, but there is nothing traditional about this technology. As per our web site, "the Honeywell Wind Turbine's (HWT)Blade Tip Power System (BTPS) replaces the traditional gear box, shaft and generator of typical wind turbine technology. The Honeywell Wind Turbine's gearless Blade Tip System creates a "free wheeling'' turbine, generating energy from the blade tips (where the speed lies) rather than through a mechanical center gear".
I'd be pleased to share footage from a wind tunnel demonstration of how the system operates at 8mp when traditional turbines are just kicking in...the velocity of the HWT is off the charts.
WindTronics was created to make Wind Energy Generation affordable and efficient. This required a complete redesign. That's what we've done and www.pereverges.cat yes we come to the cusp of maximum efficiency which was our plan.
In regards to payback, DOE states as average power consumption is 11,000kWh. At 2000 kWh in Class 4 wind, this represents 18%. No doubt Federal, State and Utlity rebates play a significant role in the payback equation, but thankfully we have these rebates and incentives to help us make a difference.
Think about magnets at the blade tips, no gears or shafts, startup at 1mph and the physics of weights on the blades tips.
We undertsand that small wind has disappointed to date. We didn't set out dressup exisiting technology, we literally turned existing technology inside out.

2. The wind speed readings on this, and most other wind speed charts, were taken at an altitude of 50 meters which is relevant only if you live in a tree house.
3. At 15-18 feet (the height of a typical one story house) you would be hard pressed to encounter mean, average, or any other measurable wind speeds greater than 12 mph.
4. At 12 mph, a 5.7 foot prop (the diameter of the Honeywell) would generate approximately 67 kWh of electricity per month.
5. This would translate to an estimated annual savings of $96 at $0.12/kWh.
6. Payback: $4,500 - $1,350 (30% tax credit) = $3,150.
$3,150/$96 = 32 years.
On the plus side: Over the 20 year useful life of this turbine, the cost per kWh would average out to around $0.20 which isn't bad in the world of alternative energy systems.
This amount would further be reduced by an additional 20-25% depending on your state's energy rebate policy and, of course, the payback period would be reduced by the same percentage.
Assuming an additional $1,000 for installation, I estimate the http://www.calamusdesign.it/cialis-china cost per watt for the Honeywell system to be slightly under $7(before rebates) which is a buck less than the average $8(before rebates) per watt cost for solar. Once again, not bad.
Finally, I really like the idea of prepackaged electronics (inverter, etc.) sized to match the system. This concept is much like the "boiler room in a box" system used for hydronic heating and will really keep a lid on installation costs.

Wind can go so far - maybe 5 to 7% of our mix. Then it becomes the dominant factor (over demand fluctuation) in voltage/frequency regulation = negating much of the purported emissions reduction it advertises. Has anyone seen Michael Goggin?.

I think your math is faulty, as many in this thread have already mentioned - with incentives etc - we are now down to about $1 per KW for wind and this Honeywell comes in around that price - The thing I like most about it - is it is easy to set up - not complicated with a lot of moving parts - and the "idea" is revolutionary - One of the big efficiency issues with wind - and I see thousands of them popping up here in Germany when I'm flying over here - is that they all have gears etc - which brings up their cost and lowers overall efficiency. The Honeywell ingeniously IMHO - has figured that issue out by placing the magnets that will generate the electricity on the blades themselves and enclosing the blades in a "housing" that acts as the coils housing in a generator - very cool. Next time you fly on a jet take a look at the high by-pass fan jet engines - they are built almost exactly the same way - When engineers moved to these engines from the "old style" engines - we saved about 70% of our fuel by - by-passing about 80% of the air through that housing but not through the combustion chamber. When I saw the www.nextstagecapital.com Honeywell for the first time I kicked myself for not thinking of it myself having been flying jets for over 25 years now. Bottom line for me is not that we can make our own energy as cheaply today as we can from oil or gas or god forbid coal - but that when we factor in all the social, as well as financial costs - let alone the costs to those troops I keep carrying over to the sands of the Middle East - There is simply no option for me. I'm in the process of building a new home on a south facing ridge line in upstate NY - yes I love the view from the property - but the real reason I'm there - is the last time I sat on the tarmac in Iraq watching them load those caissons - I promised myself I'd do something - if only for my own home and own family - to show what was possible - maybe not practical yet - but possible - Only then - can those of us with - progressive minds - Hope to change the minds and viagra from canada actions of others. I thank you for starting this thread but humbly disagree with your final analysis.

This thing would be excellent for powering remote repeater sites or cell towers in places, where there is not much sun to install solar batteries and power consumption is decent. Anyway this thing IS cheaper, than solar one, isn't it?

Look at your electricity bill. PG&E charges 12 cents/ Kwh for your baseline usage. 14 cents for 101%-130% of baseline. 29 cents for 131%-200%. 42 cents for 201%-300% and 50 cents for over 300%.
In May, we used 61 Kwh over 300% of baseline. At 50 cents per Kwh the cost was $30.50. We used 378 Kwh at 201%-300% at 42 cents per Kwh at a cost of $159. So we have a total 439 Kwh at rates about 4x higher than the baseline price discussed in the article.
If the turbine produces 130 Kwh per month (+/- 1,580/yr) our savings would be:
61 Kwh @ 49 cents per = $30.50 plus
69 Kwh @ 42 cents per = $29.00 fot a total savings of about $60 a month. On top of that we pay a bit over 5% for "taxes and other" bringing the savings to $63/ month.
So that's about $750/yr. savings. We'd save $4,500 in 6 years; $5,250 in 7 years; $6,000 in 8 years.
The next part of the calculation is to compare the savings to the opportunity cost of the $4,500 initial cost(also known as Net Present Value). Say you parked $4,500 somewhere with a 3% annual return. in 6 years you'd have $5,534. In 7 years $5,700. In 8 years you'd have $5,871.
So after 8 years, you'd save as much money for investing $4,500 into the turbine as if you invested the $4,500 into a 3% bond.
In year 9, the savings start to mount. The $750 annual electricity savings compare to about $150 in interest on the bond to produce a roughly $600/year advantage for the turbine. This advantage gets eaten into by 3%/yr compounded.
This presumes that electricity rates don't rise. Probably not a safe presumption. It also presumes that you spend $0 on maintaining your turbine, another unsafe presumption. It also presumes that your bond doesn't default. You tell me if that's a safe presumption these days.
Bottom line: If you pay a premium for electricity usage substantially over your baseline quantity, the break even point on your $4,500 investment is 6-8 years. Cut that time in half and I think I still have a hard time convincing my wife to put a 6 foot fan on the roof of our house in order to save $750 a year.

Well before Sandy's arrival, I've been doing due diligence on a solar/wind/geothermal triple-play. I'm fortunate and $ is not my gating issue. I don't expect the solar/wind combo to alleviate my electric bill in any significant way, as I've got a lot of square footage to account for. I just want to have the independence to generate power apart from the grid to run essential systems like heating, refrigeration and lighting to whatever degree possible with a sizable and it's great! sales cialis fully charged battery storage capacity, when needed.
I dig the environmentally clean aspects of each of these 3 techs and would rather put the financial investment here, rather than into a diesel generator, as power outages are far too common in this area, even without major storms.
I came to this thread hoping to find a few testimonials from current owners of the Honeywell unit, as this is the unit I'm focused in on. I'm liking it's magnet tech, it's size, It's light weight, it's 2 MPH start-up speed, it's quiet operation, the fact it's backed by an established brand/company like Honeywell for warranty purposes and it's sensible and compact control panel.
Any current owners out there willing to share? Would appreciate the feedback.

The head of the Dare County Board of Commissioners had rave reviews for Secretary Tony Tata and the North Carolina Department of Transportation after the Bonner Bridge was re-opened.
The bridge over Oregon Inlet re-opened Sunday after being closed since Dec. 3 after erosion raised questions about the safety of the bridge. The DOT hired a contractor to pump said under the bridge to support it.
Warren C. Judge, the chair of the board, wrote to Tata Dec. 16 to praise the DOT for its response to the Bonner Bridge. The letter was posted on Tata's official Facebook page.
Judge wrote:
"In a stunning and strategic way, NCDOT immediately mobilized a comprehensive, multi-faceted response to the Bonner Bridge crisis. We witnessed first-hand a unified team approach that involved countless NCDOT staff across the State of North Carolina."
Judge said the DOT "faithfully kept local leaders and the public well-informed each step of the way. Sometimes we were given news we didn't want to hear, but even then we deeply respected the way NCDOT always put public safety first."

Meet me. | Tweet me. | Read me. | Need me?
When music writers grow up, they become food writers. Or so says my long time friend and colleague Evan George from the veggie and beer blog, Hot Knives. Evan and I both began our journalism work at the long defunct L.A. Alternative, an alt-weekly (remember that term?) where he was an editor and I was a writer. We covered "fringe L.A." which meant going to shows, delving into creative projects, and occasionally embarking on "adventure dining," where he explored restaurants that had earned "C" health ratings, and I debunked the mysteries behind strip club lunches. Eventually George moved on from reviewing bands and writing about music, to take on covering health care for L.A.'s Daily Journal, cooking at the phenomenal bite-sized vegan/vegetarian restaurant Elf in Echo Park, and drinking lots of beer for Hot Knives. But he's not the first music head to turn to the food side, the esteemed food guru Jonathan Gold, even started as a music writer. His N.W.A. cover piece for L.A. Weekly, is the stuff of legends. So why is there this overlap between music and food writing? How do they differ?
Both music and food journalism deal with writing about something intangible—something invisible. Sure, sound waves exist, but you can't see them. And taste; there's no accounting for it. So how do you describe something that is not there? Analogy, comparison, hyperbole, these are often the (overused) tools of a music journalist. Music journalists coin phrases and make up terms for genres that have never existed before. Chill wave? Witch House? Coke Rap? We describe something by its effects, like describing the wind by the movement of the trees. We ask how did these invisible soundwaves make a group of people dance, or cry, or riot? A concert is often described as a revelation, a moment to connect with something else out there, something unknown. Music accompanies religion whether it be in Gregorian chants, the great vibration of the Karmic Ohm , or a sweaty soul revival in a Biloxi Baptist church. We tune in, and turn it up, basking the sacredness of sound. After a rock show, critics evaluate the moments of silence after the clamor, enjoying that ring in your ears all that's left of an evening well-spent.
Food writing chronicles destruction by consumption. A culinary piece of art is created by an imaginative chef, then promptly destroyed by the critic. The speed and voracity by which the critic demolishes this piece is part of a chef's success. Then the critic is left with the aftermath. There's nothing left. Food writing deals not with the calm after the storm, but the fallout from an A-bomb appetite, a scorched earth-scenario left behind in cleared plates, empty glasses, and scattered crumbs. Shiva destroys the world, and rates the wreckage on a five-star scale.
Food writing is much more sensory related. Chemical reactions happen when tiramisu touches the tongue, or a cloud of bacon-wrapped hot dog scent wafts into the bar from the late night vendors lining the streets. So food writers utilize the language of the senses to unpack their experiences. And more often than not, this language is sexual. May we for ever forget the Top 10 Food Channel Foodgasms? The food-sex connection, much like the dancing/sex connection (Footloose was right!), is there, and food blogging at least, acknowledges that. Pornography is the only other media form that creates an actual physical reaction while viewing. Food writing does the same—especially in this age where a camera is attached to everything—as food writers capture meal, after meal in their iPhone's eye, broadcasting to the world a taunting image, inviting to look, but don't touch. The Food Network is Skin-a-max for Puritans. The explosion, mind the pun, of the term "food porn" in the blogosphere only further shows what we already know, but are afraid to say.
Despite these differences, food and music writing are linked. We communicate the way our bodies and imagination react to a stimulus. Food and music aren't typically meant to be experienced alone. In restaurants and concert venues, patrons and audiences are surrounded by people, by strangers with whom they interact, and look to for cues on how to act. What is that person ordering? Should I dance to this song, or just cross my arms and sway? Choosing a restaurant, at least here in L.A., is much like going to the record store (remember those?); as you stare into the abyss of possibilities, wondering what experience you want for the day. And for music snobs, as we, ahem, they get older and fewer people are impressed by your knowledge of Black Flag B-sides or Kraut rock samples in Kanye West songs, foodie-ism is the next frontier of one-upping your friends. Can you taste the cave in cave aged cheese? Can you feel the freedom in your free-range chicken? Who knows, but it at least it sounds good.

Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law allows a person to use deadly force to save his or her own life -- even if there is a chance they could retreat. It eliminates a person's duty to retreat in the face of a serious physical threat.
Before Stand Your Ground became law in 2005, a person could not legally justify the use of deadly force if it could have been avoided.
Jeff Brown, a criminal defense attorney and legal analyst, predicts that Curtis Reeves will use Stand Your Ground as a defense, and this case will be a major test of the law.
"This isn't just a guy who goes into a movie theater and shoots someone. He is a retired cop, and I guarantee you there is going to be a defense that he felt he was in fear of his life, that there was great bodily harm that he felt was coming toward him, and he's going to say he can stand his ground and use a firearm."
There are conflicting reports about what exactly took place before the shooting. Investigators say that before the shooting, the victim threw popcorn at Reeves.
An arrest affidavit also says Chad Oulson "turned and stood up, striking the defendant in the face with an unknown object."
But Tuesday afternoon, a Pasco sheriff's detective said in a media briefing that there was "no physical contact" between the two men.
"You can bring a firearm to a popcorn fight now, because that's what Stand Your Ground is all about," Brown said. "If you are lawfully there, and you feel your life is in jeopardy or that you are threatened, you can defend yourself with deadly force. And that's what this issue is going to be."
Brown added that Reeves' background as a law enforcement officer used to working in high-pressure, SWAT-team situations will play a part in his defense.
"We're gonna have someone who…is going to say, as a retired cop who is used to being in traumatic situations, who ran a SWAT team, he's gonna say, 'I was in fear for my life, I felt as if this 43-year-old man was going to cause me great bodily harm,'" Brown said.
The question then becomes whether that's a reasonable defense or not.
"But I'm telling you, it's not going to be a case where someone just sat in a movie theater and didn't like that he was on his cellphone and shot him. This is going to be a Stand Your Ground defense."
But that's a defense the Pasco County Sheriff's Office plans to fight tooth and nail. Sheriff Nocco said assistant state attorney Manny Garcia was at the shooting scene early on. Nocco said he, Garcia, and the detectives discussed Stand Your Ground, and all said they did not think it would not apply.
"We did not determine that Stand Your Ground was a justifiable reason why [Reeves] shot the victim," Nocco said. "Stand Your Ground does not fly in this case."
Reeves is being held in the Land 'O' Lakes detention center without bond.

The Miller Grove boys' team may be young and less heralded, but the results are looking mighty familiar.
Kyre' Hamer scored 25 points and Keith Pinckney added 20 as the Wolverines pulled away from Sequoyah in a 79-57 win to advance the second round of the Class AAAA playoffs. The Wolverines, who are seeking their fifth straight title, picked up the tempo and that freed up Hamer, who drilled five 3-pointers.
Miller Grove led by six, 33-27, at the half and coach Sharman White said Sequoyah was the aggressor. But the coach challenged his team to play harder in the second half. They did. The defense came up with timely stops and the offense began to click to break open the game.
The Wolverines (26-3) have only three seniors and no All-Americans, White said. But White said he loves coaching this group of kids.
"Nobody gave us a chance so they play with a chip on their shoulder," White said. "It's making a difference as we continue the season."
Dalton Satterfield led Sequoyah with 16 points.

Screw Teacher Appreciation Week
Angry Mom: I am not a big fan of my daughter's teacher. Sometimes you click with a teacher, and sometimes you don't. I'm basically just counting the days 'til my daughter's out of Mrs. Johnson's class.
My daughter has ADHD, and the teacher has basically refused to work with us on this. She suggested we "transfer her to a more appropriate school." HELLO?!
Well, last week, I got the sheet from the room mother announcing Teacher Appreciation Week. It listed what the kids were expected to bring each day. My immediate thoughts are italicized.
Monday: Bring a sweet treat for Mrs. Johnson (home-baked, if possible).
Um, I don't have time to bake! I have two jobs, just trying to keep food on the table. But I'd be happy to slip her a Chips Ahoy!, if she'd like that ....
Tuesday: Bring in a flower from your garden for Mrs. Johnson.
I live in an apartment. I don't have a garden. Maybe a weed from the patch of grass next to the parking lot?
Wednesday: Write a poem for Mrs. Johnson.
Roses are red, violets are blue, this week sucks, and so do you!
Thursday: Bring a small gift for Mrs. Johnson ($10 limit).
In these tough times, ten dollars is tough to scrape together. Is the 99-cent store OK instead?
Friday: Please donate $20 for our class gift fund. We are going to get her a day at the spa!
Um, MOMMY could use a day at the spa ... what about me?!?!?!?!
Look, don't get me wrong ... I love teachers! I think it is the hardest job in the world. But this particular teacher is less than great, and I don't want to be forced to show how much my daughter "appreciates" her.
Plus, don't working moms have enough to keep track of? Now I have five more things to add to my to-do list this week. THANKS.
What do you think about Teacher Appreciation Week?
Gee it's only a suggestion, not a mandate. Lighten up will ya? No one is putting a gun to your head and saying do this or else. Some moms really like the direction, some don't. If you don't like it, throw the paper in the trash and get over it. The fact that you even feel the need to blog about it shows how many issues you have. Maybe the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree.
If she's really been that much of a problem I wouldn't waste my money on her Spa Day. Sorry you had a poopy teacher this year. I hope next year is better.
Um, maybe no one has bought you a spa day because you'd complain about it. Your teacher suggesting that your daughter might require some additional resources sounds like a teacher that's paying attention…I'd rather have that than one who didn't know my kid's name. Maybe if you weren't so busy blogging lists of how much time you don't have to appreciate your child's teacher, and how angry you are that McDonal's won;t be allowed to shill crap toys along with their crap food, you'd have more time to appreciate your child's teacher. Hey, maybe you could give Mrs. Johnson a happy meal toy as a thank you?
I think this is a good example of how not to do Teacher Appreciation Week. Sending out a letter like this puts pressure on the parents to give something every day. You worry about what the teacher will think of your kid if they don't bring flowers. It's really unfair to everyone. A much better approach would just be a reminder that you can send in a baked good, poem, plant, or contribution, if you wish. The class gift should have every kids name on it, whether or not the parent actually gives anything.
i wouldn't participate either
I believe the note is for the student, mainly. Children need to learn to show appreciation for others and it's a way for them to express themselves in a socially acceptable manner. Whether or not you appreciate that teacher is another matter. secondly, some people are more willing to or easier to cooperate than others. in this case, there are 3 factors: your daughter, her teacher, and you. as far as i can tell from what you've expressed, your attitude is not helping the situation. children can be a handful, especially those with adhd. try to think from the teacher's perspective. maybe take some time off work and audit the class. everybody's busy, but in order to get things done and done right, sometimes, we have to make some sacrifices and do it ourselves. good luck and have a happy mother's appreciation day!
Hmmm…coercing gifts from children, classy. Very classy. Quite frankly, your gift is having a job. A lot of people don't. It's ridiculous..if you need it mandated that someone appreciates you, then you probably need a different job.
Oh, and to the person who commented about Mother's Day, teachers don't give birth to you, feed you, clothe you, love you, and make sure you have a roof over your head. Mothers (most mothers, that is) deserve a day..teachers, not so much.
Sheesh, what happened to "Love One Another?" I am sure the paper sent home is just a SUGGESTION- my child's school does the same thing. True, it may seem a little forward, but it is NOT snet by he teachers, it is sent by the PTA. You do not have to participate! And to trash all teachers, because you do not see eye to eye with one? All of these comments filled with back-biting- how many of you have a Master's degree and work with close to thirty children, many with parents who do NOT teach them respect, accountability, or manners, for such low pay??? I am so tired of all the ignorance and hate! If you loathe teachers that much, here's an idea: HOMESCHOOL!!!
And Gail, where did you get the idea that teachers do not deserve a day because they do not love you?!?!? All of the teachers I know, teach because of their love for children and education. I am sorry you feel so much anger that you must lash out in hurtful ways.
teaching is definately not the hardest job in the world and most of them dont even do their job right…i should know i have some pretty stupid teachers
This article speaks to my heart! OMG! I wish I would get a letter home requesting all that mess for a teacher that I don't appreciate at all! lol Teachers week..please..I'm a mom! Where's my day at the bleep spa! I work two jobs and I go to school and still try to make more time for my kids than I do myself.
I am all for showing teachers appreciation, but that list is a bit much. And from reading that list it sounds to me like that teacher might have meant something else when she suggested that the child be sent to a more "appropriate" school. That list sounds like something you would expect a stay at home mom to do, not a child.
Mindy, I'm not angry, I'm just saying that I don't think that children should be influenced into a gift(s) that aren't spontaneous…one would think that a forced gift is less of importance than one given because it's demanded. And a whole week of presents…sounds a little ridiculous. And regardless of whether teachers love the kids they teach, if the kid doesn't love them… I love my co-workers, but it doesn't mean I'm going to hand them presents. And certainly not a whole week's worth.
About $35 dollars right? Um I don't think so!
I don't care for my son's teacher at all. But my son loves her. So for TAW a small gift (made by him) is appropriate. I can't imagine getting a list like that! I would probably send a list back of priorities that come before gifts to a teacher I don't like!
Even when I really like their teachers I don't send extravagant gifts like $20 for a spa day. Like you, I need a spa day too. But who has the money for that?
And for her information, that school is the appropriate school for your adhd child!
Like everything in life there are good and bad. Good teachers,bad teachers The good ones need the appreciation for doing a unthinkable job. I can't imagine being in a room all day with 30 kids. But appreciation comes in a lot of forms. Gifts are not the only way to show them we care. Time is more useful to good teachers and they will tell you that. So no I won't be sending any gifts to school for TAW. But I will be there to help them in whatever endeavor they send me on!
Ummm Mindy just finished saying that its NOT forced, that it's more than likely a suggestion…AND it was even said it was from the room mother rather than the teacher….READ people…maybe if you weren't so angry at teachers you could have learned too from one…
Do you have any idea how difficult parents like you make teaching?
What about the child who is left sitting there with no 'home baked treats' or flowers, or gift because really people - thousands of families are losing their homes everyday in the USA.
Someone above said it is a 'suggestion'. Tell that to the child with tears in their eyes because they are 'left out' of the celebration when they have no gift.
I would write a letter to the principal of the school and.
A week ?! That's crazy. One day is more then enough to 'acknowledge' anyone. Even mothers ;)
I really value teachers. I feel we should appreciate them every day by supporting fair wages, working conditions, and telling them every day we appreciate them. Especially the good ones.
I have to wonder how an 'official week' of appreciation was passed ?
I would like a national Vet appreciation week -and a postal worker week- and a housecleaner week- and a police officer week. There wouldn't be enough weeks in the year and we'd all be broke. A single day is more then enough for an 'official appreciation'.
As a teacher it's the PTA and room mother
that help during our teacher week. Here is a easy idea just have your daughter draw a picture for her teacher. The way you talk about the teacher is not helping your daughter, I hope you don't say anything negatIve in front of your daughter, kids come to school and repeat what parent's say.
why don't you try teaching for one week and see how appreciated you feel. Your teacher obviously cares or she would have just ignored her concerns about your daughter.
Well. I'm a teacher an elementary teacher to narrow it down. I do not expect to be pampered, Would be embarased if a list like this was sent home on my behalf and would cry if the comments above were about me.
Some of the comments above are plain hateful. Do you know that I do love a lot of my students more than their mothers do? That I pay for their lunches and breakfasts on a regular basis? That I make sure they wash their faces and brush their teeth because no one at home helps them. I give them books, crayons, pencils, and glue. I have bought clothes, coats, and shoes.
I have never asked for a gift and cringe when I know some of my families have spent money on me. I know peer pressure is a hard thing to deal with but a homemade card and a hug will stand out above all of those other gifts. Your child's teacher I would hope understands your financial situation and will express her gratitude to your child with a smile, a hug and a sincere thank you.
The note sent home was not about you but rather your child and their teacher. You might not like her but your child does. Be the grown up and don't corrupt that for them.

Wednesday afternoon I was sitting in my office when a knock came on the door. It was my friend Sal from the mailroom who had a package for me. He just sat it on my desk without comment. When I pealed back the plain brown paper wrapping, all that I found inside was a soiled, soggy milk carton.
I looked up and asked, "What…what is this? What does this mean?"
Sal replied, "It's a message from Todd White. It means your milk carton sleeps with the fishes".
A message…from Todd White? Why, what for? I mean, what in the world did I ever do or say about Todd White that would make him want to send me such a message? Hmmm…??
Later in the evening, I then found out why he wanted to get my attention. White suited up in a New York Rangers blue shirt and scored a goal against his former team. Trailing 5-2 to the Thrashers, Whitey backhanded home a rebound to pull the home team to within two. Atlanta forward Fredrik Modin allegedly was defending White on the play.
It was his first goal of the season and it turned what was a comfortable Thrashers lead into what would become a bit of a nail-biter just moments later. White's goal was then followed a few minutes later by another, pulling the Rangers to within one. Brian Boyle did the honors this time as he was left alone on the far post.
Someone in a Thrashers jersey really needed to just clear him out from in front of the goal, should have put a hit on him, should have …ahem…popped that Boyle when they had a chance.
However, with the score 5-4, Andrew Ladd's empty netter iced the game for the Thrashers fourth win of the season.
"It was kind of stupid to let them back in the game," Nic Bergfors said afterwards. "We stopped working a little bit there and they took care of it, but we got it done". Bergfors scored his first goal of the season in the victory, an unassisted top-shelf blast from the right side that put Atlanta up 3-2 in the second period.
Bergie wasn't the only Thrasher who found net for the first time this season. Bryan Little also did so when he sliced his way through the defense and beat Marty Biron. That tally tied the game at one-all in the first period. Later in the game Eric Boulton joined Little and Bergfors in getting off The Schnide as he scored off a rebound to provide what would turn out to be the deciding goal.
Alex Burmistrov set up Evander Kane on a goal in the second period to put the Thrashers up 2-1. It was the first NHL point for the rookie forward.
Another first for this team…in holding New York to 28 shots on goal, it was the first time Atlanta has held an opponent to less than 30 SOG all season. It only took nine games to do so. I wish I could report that they also outshot the opposition for the first time this fall, but the Thrashers only got off 26 of their own.
What was not a first, however, was seeing the Thrashers' defense let up another goal due to sloppy play around their goal. A turnover early in the first period led to a Ryan Callahan goal that put the Rangers up 1-0 only 38 seconds into the game.
Also, and I try not to hold netminders solely responsible when goals are allowed, but the Sean Avery wrap-around tally that tied the score at two all was due to Chris Mason's slow reaction to Avery's move around the back of the net. The Thrashers goalie then was unable to get to the post before the puck was snuck in.
For the game, Mason stopped 24 of the 28 shots he faced.
By winning in New York, Atlanta improved their overall record to 4-4-1 and bumped their road record to 3-2-1.
And finally, I want to thank my good friends at Guston's restaurant in Kennesaw for hosting a small group of us Wednesday night to watch the game. Donnie runs a great little place there and he set us up in a nice private room to enjoy the night's festivities. The lovely and charming Katie took great care of us, providing some much-needed "mojo" when the Thrashers really needed it.
Thanks guys…we'll see ya again next Wednesday.
And I'll see you all at Philips Friday night when the Thrashers get a chance to make amends for the giant, steaming pile of FAIL that they dropped on the ice last week against the Sabres.

Nice play from the thrashers, except when Rangers were scoring! Very impressed with these Chicago boys so far.

12:20 am
Guess who drew another penalty with his slick skating and strong puck skills?! Yep, Johnny Burma. That kid is gonna be special in time. Could be the perfect set-up man for the "man" named Kane.
Also, how many more lousy efforts by Modin will it take to convince Ramsay that his best position is "healthy scratch"? Someone, ahem Dudley, needs to get on the horn with Lever and tell him that he needs a more macho man to replace Swedee Modin. Yeah, that kid Spencer deserves a shot to play with the big boys on a line with Kaner and the Burmise Python.
October 28th, 2010

Waive Modin!
If you can't cover Todd White, you shouldn't be in the NHL
Do the Swedes have a toilet paper with the brand name Modin?

I think Noah Welch deserves to be here. He played a heck of a game! Brian Little's goal was an amazing goal, wonder where that has been all season.

I want to state that NO ONE hates the New York Ranjerks more than I! That said. I am pleased the Thrashers secured a victory at Madison Square Garden. Offense was in above average form. I am still thoroughly disgusted with Marshmallow Chris Mason between the pipes! A lead of three goals almost squandered by the Sori Letemin wannabe. Is there a rule which states Thrashers must surrender four or more goals per outing? Please clue me in if there is! Forgive the Devil's Advocate response. I am happy with regulation victory. Baadly needed. Badly! Hope guys in blue can string a few wins together. At least act like professional hockey team. Hear that Marshmallow man? STENDEK

I nominate this sentence by Mr. Stroz for comment of the year.

Also, I want to add that the Devils were losing, 5-2, to San Jose tonight. Heatley, Marleau and Thornton had stellar nights for the Sharks. The Devils fall to 5 games under .500, NHL-style. 2-7-1, I believe. That's five out of a possible twenty (5/20) for Lou Lamoriello's Devils. No one loses the Cup or the possibility of playoffs in October. The Devils could be five games under .500 at New Year's Day, they'll still make the playoffs, and could, in theory, win the Cup. They're working out the kinks.
Unfortunately, TB won. Again. Over Pittsburgh, this time. Washington beat Carolina, 3-0, with Neuvirth's first career shutout. Only 111 more, to catch Brodeur. The Islanders gave Montreal a thrill ride, but came up short. Chicago beat L.A., in what could be a playoff preview, out west, 3-1.
October is nearing a close … and I've been thinking, lately, about our Thrashers Player of the Month. Early on, I thought it was Chris Thorburn. Then, I though, Anthony Stewart. But now, I'm almost certain it will be Andrew Ladd, the points leader, with a nice streak going.
October 28th, 2010

At 4-4-1, we're one-point up on Carolina, but the 'Canes have a game-in-hand.

Fun game to watch. After the game, I flipped over to the Tampa game. They have a new GM, a new coach, an improved team and something we are missing-fans in the seats. Go Thrashers!
October 28th, 2010

How about Kovalchuk with zero SOG's last night in 20min. of ice time?!
Patrick Sharp is a man possessed in Chicago. Still wish we could have swung a deal for him.

I am still very concerned over the number of defensive zone turnovers. Improved team defense was one the positives I expected from Rammer, but I have to say this team is only marginally better in their zone than John Ander-bums teams.
The team defense, especially down low in our own zone has to get better. These defensive pairings still do not have the synergy required to protect a lead. Mason has been OK so far. The Avery goal looked "age-induced" meaning an older goalie that cannot move side to side with great efficiency.
October 28th, 2010
8:12 am
The wailing about "Who will score our goals?!" should subside a bit. The Thrashers are tied for 3rd in goals scored at 29. Unfortunately, they are also tied for 3rd in goals allowed at 33, which gives us our 4-4-1 record.
It could be a lot worse….say, like signing Kovalchuk for $100M and having a 2-7-1 record. I expect the Devils to improve but you never know with the funk they are in.
October 28th, 2010
8:14 am
Glad I got to see this game in the form of a glorious black screen that said "This game is blacked out in your area" ….which is humorous in that I live in the city of ATLANTA…..are you kidding me, how in the world are we supposed to watch the game, is it my u-verse or what? And I'm sorry but listening to the game on the radio with the guy with the speech impediment on 680 is just plain horrendous
October 28th, 2010
8:17 am
It's too early to worry about TB and he Crap's. ATL must reduce their bad penalties and turnovers in the own zone if they are to have a chance of reaching 90+ pts this season. Regarding NJ, I still do not understand why Lou jeopardized a proven winning formula over the past decade by paying $100 million for a foward who refuses to backcheck…

Kane's goal was a beauty. There is so much young offensive talent on this team. It makes one a little optimistic. I hope the crowd is big Friday so we can shut down those obnoxious Buffalo fans. It was great to see a smile on Bergfors face last night.
October 28th, 2010
8:46 am
This team was fortunate to have scoring come alive from different players last night. They will NOT win 80% (or more) of the games where they allow 4 goals. Mason and whoever is back there at the time seem to have no idea what to do to clear a puck out. Complete failure at this one "skill" has resulted in turnovers and most of the goals scored against us this season!
I'm sick of seeing them fiddle around with the puck around our net! I squirm and squirm and nearly crawl out of my chair every time I see Mason touch pass a puck to one of our guys who then seems to forget which side of the rink he's on. You'd think this would've been corrected by now.
Mason just seems out of it. It almost looks like he can't see out of his mask and spot the puck. Sorry, but he's not the answer unless he rapidly improves his game. Watching him makes me long for Pavs or Moose. I'm so disappointed in Mason I can't describe it. Yeah, he's been taking shots that wouldn't be there if defense was better…But that's what he gets paid for. What alarms me is the goals that are scored on him – by all the opposing teams so far – aren't slap shots. They just maneuver the puck right up in his face and chunk it in either around, above or below. Then he's so slow, he can't react fast enough and it's a goal. His post-goal reactions also indicate he knows he should've stopped it. It's like they all have the book on how to score on Mason.
It's still a win….But 4 goals against will be a loss most of the time. I hope Pavs brings his A-game when he gets back. And someone needs to make sure Mason drinks a Red Bull or two before every period…..
October 28th, 2010
8:51 am
If that Kane goal was a preview of things to come from the kid then I say HELL YA ! That move to the net reminded me of someone from the past (Not in ATL) but let's just try walking first.
C'mon Dude ! Twice in one early Thrasher PP Enstrom made two lackluster passes that were inches from being picked off and a clean breakaway for the Rangers. The way Mason was playing I bet I know what would have happened.
October 28th, 2010
9:06 am
Some sweet, sweet goals last night, boys! Kane's and Little's were especially pretty. Keep it up!
October 28th, 2010
9:08 am
Seems to me that every goal scored in close against us is a result of defensive non-mobility. In other words, standing still and the opposition darts in through the statues. Appears more like a zone defense as opposed to man to man. I've said it a million times, standing still in this league is a recipe for goals against. Why on earth are two defensemen standing in front of the goal looking behind the goal?! Take a friggin' man! If you have a body on everyone, no one is open, and no easy bang-bang goals against. I see them follow a guy, then peel off and leave him for the next guy. If the rotation doesn't work, they end up wide open. Wings should stay with opposition d-men, our-d-men mark their wingers and center on center. It's not that complicated. You can see when we're moving on D and chasing the puck carrier, it works. When we chase and peel off, they seem wide open right on the door step.
October 28th, 2010
9:26 am
Good to see Bergie get a nice goal last night.
You all know that I am a Thrasher fan through and through even when the Sabres come to town. The upcoming BUF-ATL game gives us another opportunity to talk about the obnoxious Buffalo fans. The truth of the matter is that they buy tickets, concessions (especially beer) and cheer for their team. You want Buffalo fans out of Phillips? All we need to do is buy the tickets so their there's no seats left for them. Trust me, Sabres fans feel the same way about obnoxious Maple Leaf and Canadian's fans so we are not alone.
October 28th, 2010
9:38 am
The Avery wrap around was all Hainsey…he we was totally out of position and then helped redirect the puck in with weak poke check. He may need a couple nights off.
October 28th, 2010
9:40 am
Sabres fans are no different than any that have a bit of frustration on their side during a 40-year history with runner-up status as their only rallying cry. Frankly, I'd rather sit in a building with someone cheering rather than no one at all. I welcome their money, their passion and their cheering. You want to do something about it? Put a winning team on the ice and sell some freaking tickets…it's that simple.
October 28th, 2010
9:40 am
After the scoring drought of the pre-season games who'd ahve thought we would be outgunning teams 6-4. Good win, good to see the Chicago guys play well and Bergie SMILE, however, where's the defensively responsible team everyone was talking about? Poor defensive play is killing us.
October 28th, 2010
9:44 am
I would blame the second goal on Hainsey being out of position……again….
October 28th, 2010
9:44 am
After the scoring drought of the pre-season games who'd ahve thought we would be outgunning teams 6-4.
Probably most of us who weren't in "OMG PANIC WE SUCKED DURING THE GAMES THAT DONT COUNT" mode.
Just sayin'. That irrationality has made quite a few people look silly.
I liked a lot of what I saw last night; however, our guys have got to start knocking around those guys hanging around in the crease.
I mean, we let milk carton man score on us last night. Seriously. That's not supposed to happen.
October 28th, 2010
9:52 am
Sorry, but he's not the answer unless he rapidly improves his game.
Mason has played in all nine Thrashers games thus far.
Mason is not the kind of goalie that should be doing that.
See, the problem is, Mason is tired. The Thrashers' plan was to use Mason to help teach Pavelec more of the game. Give the kid confidence and a veteran in the room to talk to. Pavelec and Mason are a 1a-1b tandem. When Pavelec went out, Mason came in and played huge for us.
Mason is an awesome goalie, but not when you play him so many games in a row.
October 28th, 2010
10:03 am
Blackout: Mrs. DWTOO here – we had the same situation with U-verse blacking out the game and we live in Lawrenceville, so we couldn't even get the radio broadcast because 680's signal is too weak to reach out here. (I'm not sure why since it's U-verse and not Dish.) I settled for the free link posted on the Blueland Chronicle's site with the Rangers announcers. It was the best I could do, and it wasn't half-bad, except for the announcers and the skipping. I was also multi-tasking at the time-a woman thing, you know… But I wanted to give a shout out to the Blueland Chronicle boys for the link and a big THANK YOU for posting it.
October 28th, 2010
10:04 am
A little nit-picky, but I think Buff's goal was the game-winner, not Boulton's.
Agree that the D has got to stop fiddling around with the puck in our own zone. They just look tentative to me. Not sure if that's because they can't find anyone to pass to up-ice, or if they're unsure if they should be the ones to begin the rush, or what.
Interesting stat from last night: Of the forwards, Burmy had the highest TOI at 17:18.
October 28th, 2010
10:10 am
That is a concern…but then again, they hadn't played since Saturday and it's still early in the season.
That's all true, too. I still look at the whole "nine games in a row" thing, though. I sincerely hope Pavelec or Mannino starts the game on Friday against Buffalo, because I'm having very bad visions of that Buffalo game last week.
October 28th, 2010
10:17 am
Red Light-toss in 40+ years of Buffalo Bills frustration (including 4 straight Super Bowl losses)! It's not hard to see why Buffalo sports fans go nuts at every goal and win. Gotta take victories, even small ones. I told my buddies in Buffalo about the hate for BUF fans and they all laughed aloud-they agree with most of you!

Chicago Blackhawks traded Andrew Ladd to the Altanta Thrashers for Ivan Vishnevskiy and a 2nd round selection in 2011.

Regarding Modin and Swedish toilet paper brands, your question can actually be answered with a nyes!!!
There is a Swedish toilet paper manufacturer formerly named MoDo, which has some similarity with MoDin!
The same company that has given its name to the hockey club MoDo that has fostered an extreme disproportunate amount of NHL players compared to the population of the town örnsköldsvik. Good ones too – how about Forsberg, Näslund, the Sedins, Victor Hedman, Anders Hedberg, Sundström and our own Enström to name a few.
However, MoDin will likely not prefer to be associated to MoDo, since he never played for them and during his Swedish career played for their worst antagonists.
October 28th, 2010
10:24 am
Burmistrov continues to draw penalties and looks very capable of playing a full season with the club. Kane's goal was a beauty although Stewart was standing all alone in front of the goal with no one anywhere near him. Bergfors top-shelf shot was unreal. As mentioned, Mason was awful. Don't buy the fact he can be tired after three full days off prior to the game like Rawhide said. But, it was a nice two points for the Thrashers, regardless of method. No one need ask for a description of how it was done, as long as it was done. It's like a scorecard in golf, where no explanation is necessary, just the score!
The Rangers stink. With Prospal, Gaborik and Drury injured, along with Lundqvist sitting last night, that team looked a far cry from its most recent playoff squad when they dropped the final 3 games to Washington after taking a 3-1 series lead. I stand by my prediction that Tortorella will be gone by Jan. 1, and while he's not the only root of the problem (see Glen Sather), his record against the Thrashers since taking over in 2009 is 1-5, and is 12-14 overall against Toronto, Florida, NY Islanders and Atlanta. That's not going to cut it!
What a dilemma in San Jose for the venom-spewers about former Thrashers! The Devils lost and Kovalchuk didn't record a shot, but Heatley had a goal and three assists. Such a tug on the emotions, eh? But, I'm sure everyone is thrilled that Hossa got hurt last night too!
October 28th, 2010
10:24 am
Hokie – Agreed. In fact, I would cast my vote at this point for Ladd as captain. Kane is the only other one I would seriously consider, but I wouldn't want to put added pressure on someone that young. Ladd deserves the "C".
October 28th, 2010
10:25 am
However, MoDin will likely not prefer to be associated to MoDo, since he never played for them and during his Swedish career played for their worst antagonists.
Sounds like a good reason to make the association to me. It might piss him off, and light a fire under him to actually play well.
October 28th, 2010
10:26 am
I believe I clearly read Whitey's lips after his goal and he said "Take that Rawhide"
The goals were beautiful things to watch; Kane's move, Bergy's wrister, Buff Blast. Nice.
The D was mediocre. We've got to play with more defensive urgency. I think Mason is a bit over worked, not over the hill.
October 28th, 2010
10:28 am
Bill, granted Mason was a little slow from pipe to pipe,But " Mr Hair gel" had Avery in the corner and when Avery reversed to go behind the goal Mr Hainsey stopped and backed off instead of riding him into the far corner and he never should have gotten off the shot in the 1st place. I know that I will defend a goaltender when I can but in this case from what I saw Avery should have been picking his teeth out of the glass in the far corner.
October 28th, 2010
10:31 am
The Rangers do stink and Torts looks like his head is about to explode behind the bench!
October 28th, 2010
10:32 am
Can anyone answer this? The game was on Fox SportsSouth, 1 channel away from SportsSouth. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't they both the same network now? Fox SportsSouth didn't have the game listed but it was there thankfully. Its about time Atlanta gets to see the Thrashers win on TV.
On a related note has anyone successfully canceled center ice since this blackout rule due to the dispute between Dish and Fox?
Charmin should become a Rangers sponsor as long as they keep Todd White. They could call goals like his last night the "Charmin Poop Shoot" of the game.

Hartnell College Art Exhibition to Feature Paintings and Photographs from the Great Depression
August 13th, 2005
In celebration of Hartnell College's 85th year of service to residents of the Salinas Valley, an exhibition of paintings and photographs will explore the historical background of California during the formative years of the college, established in 1920.
The exhibition opens in Hartnell's art gallery on August 22 and runs through Sep. 29.
The gallery, located in the Visual Arts Building, is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Monday and Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is free.
Drawn primarily from Hartnell's own permanent collection, the exhibition will illustrate the rural setting and the agricultural activities that were the norm for the Salinas Valley as seen by artists employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Farm Security Administration (FSA), two federal relief program established during the Great Depression.
The exhibition is titled "Foundations: WPA Paintings and FSA Photographs from the 1930s."
Implementation of the WPA and FSA programs coincided with Hartnell's first major growth period. The college's first permanent building was constructed with funds from the WPA. The single- story structure served as the heart of the campus on Homestead Avenue until it was replaced by the current three-story Classroom Administration Building (CAB).
Gary Smith, gallery director and Hartnell art instructor, said the style of the period was strongly regional and the many different artists represented in the exhibition "shared a common vision based on the dignity of the human spirit, the importance of the workers, the bounty of nature and the central role of agriculture in American life. Scenes of everyday events, like haircuts, visits with friends or neighbors, food preparation and views - both rural and urban - merge into a collage of images that reminds us how much and yet how little has changed since the founding of Hartnell College in 1920."
For more information about the exhibition, call the gallery at (831) 755-6791.

Meg Baker talked to residents of Roxbury, N.J. who say they were recently forced to evacuate their homes recently because of toxic fumes from a state owned landfill.She met up with the residents in that area who are concerned for their safety of their children.Parents are so concerned that they require their children to wear masks before they go out to play.Chasing New Jersey found children in the neighborhood on bicycles wearing masks over their noses and mouths.The site in question is called the Fenimore Landfill in Morris County. The landfill originally closed in 1979 but was reopened in 2011 with plans to cap it and build a solar facility.The state seizing the site in June after Gov. Christie signed legislation to close the facility.That hasn't helped the long-suffering people in the area yet.The state installed meters in several back yards to monitor fumes from the landfill. They post live data from the meters on the township website.Shannon Caccavella has a monitor in her yard. She says levels have reached as high as 700 and 800 parts per billion which she says is worse than before the state took over the landfill.She has sent her children to the shore for the summer because she is concerned about their health.People in the area are waiting for the DEP to answer their questions and help solve the problem. So far, the DEP has covered the landfill with a vapor barrier known as Posi-Shell that is supposed to seal in the smell. They have set up a system of gas flares that burn all night but the DEP admits that they are not fully operational.The DEP has found the odors to be from hydrogen sulfide gas caused by wet gypsum wallboard that was dumped at the site.On Tuesday, the DPD released information about the latest escalation of odors at the landfill.
