Comments about LG 24.2 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless Steel:
Along with two controlled vegetable/fruit trays, there is an additional center tray and a long deli or fresh meat tray. The multiple shelves provide additional options for storage. The freezer space is much larger than I ever anticipated. We do not use that much ice, so the extra ice storage space in the freezer also provides a great space for ice cream.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great refrigerator
By jim33
from St. Joseph, MO, USA
We needed a 33" refrigerator for our kitchen. This model had all the features we were looking for. It is beautiful. The bottom freezer is great with plenty of room. The crispers keep the vegetables fresh longer than our old refrigerator. I like the deli drawer and the adjustable shelves which makes it easy to organize the food storage. We are spoiled having the automatic ice and water in the door. We have had the refrigerator for 6 weeks and I would recommend it to a friend. I love the stainless steel finish which is easy to keep clean. This refrigerator makes our kitchen look brand new
Not completely happy
By karensuzyq
from Friendswood, TX, USA
For the price-not happy! I knew ice capacity was small; but no one told me about food freezing in the refrigerator on the side where the icemaker is. I can't put vegetables in the bins because of this. Also the drawer mechanisms on the bottom freezer are cheap; they broke within a couple of months.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent product
By mfj
from Redwood City, CA, USA
Could not be happier with the Kitchen Aid Customer Service. Have not experienced this with any other appliance. Although I have not experienced any problems or questions with their product, I appreciate the e-mails I receive with recommendations for proper use of the refrigerator, proper food storage recommendations and optimal maintenance for continued performance.
Wortless icemaker
By xjacksmith
from North Carolina, USA
Had this refrigerator 6 months ice maker has quit working at least 4 times. Gets stuck in the down position. Always running out of ice. There is only two people in house. The rest of the refrigerator works ok.

Function and Innovation...
By Cee
from Shoreline, WA, USA
are the markers of this product. The forethought that went into the design of the ice maker in the door to save valuable space for freezer/refrigeration makes this an appliance above the rest. The roomy interior and shelf adjustability further make this appliance functional for all occasions. We could not be happier with our purchase.
I want it to stop running & cycle.
By dumbo
from benton kentucky
We had this refrigerator installed last Friday morning. It's now Monday afternoon. The refrigerator has not stopped running yet. I called the installer. They told me to keep an eye on it a while longer. I'm not too happy right now.
We are so pleased with all the features.
By Roberts
from Snohomish, WA, USA
This is the best designed refrigerator we have owned. The freezer on the bottom with compartments creates organized storage. The pull out drawer in the freezer allows for small or flat items to be easily found. Most of all we appreciate the French door style which provides easy access of food. My favorite new feature is the Glide n' Serve Drawer where we keep cheese, meats, small items. That has helped refrigerator organization so much.
Love my LG!
By Kevin
from Lexington, KY, USA
My wife and I have researched refrigerators for many months, trying to determine what would best suit our needs. At the time, we had no idea that shopping for a refrigerator would be so similar as that of buying a car - 2-door, 3-door, 4-door, hatchback?? We read consumer reports and took several visits to local appliance distributors and finally decided on this particular LG. Once home and installed we are far more pleased than we expected. It's spacious, the LED lighting is great for not blinding oneself during that late night trip for a snack. The water and ice dispenser is extremely well engineered. All the bells and whistles are really cool! We hope to get a lot of use out of our LG and we are immensely pleased with our decision to purchase this model!
Great refrigerator and just the right size
By papam
from Boise, ID, USA
We had looked for a larger refrigerator but had to go to the 25 foot and that was only in LG so we could open the door against a wall. Have been highly pleased with the quiet, the ice maker, and the cold water. We almost gave up our secondary freezer since most everything fits into the slide out freezer bin on this LG. My wife insisted on the white color and it does compliment our kitchen. Controls are great and the settings easy to see.

School's out. Temperatures are soaring. Summer's almost here and the livin' is easy. For now.
But wait for it. It's sure to come.
"I'm bored." "There's nothing to do."
If a summer vacation is not in the cards (or in the budget) for you, take advantage of the many fun, family-friendly attractions in our own backyard.
Each year, nearly one million people visit the zoo to experience the wonders of the natural world, stroll the scenic grounds and explore the historic WPA-era buildings. Zoo highlights include the Arctic Encounter, the Africa! exhibit, Nature's Neighborhood children's area and more.
The Toledo Zoo is known for being at the forefront of many conservation efforts, working to preserve endangered and threatened species--from butterflies and birds to crocodiles and elephants. The zoo participates in dozens of important breeding programs that are helping to ensure a future for some truly amazing species.
Other highlights include the Sculpture Garden outside and the architecturally renowned Glass Pavilion, located across Monroe Street. The museum also offers a number of temporary exhibitions each year, along many free programs including glass demonstrations, guided tours, weekly "It's Friday" after-hours programming, hands-on children's activities in the Family Center, and more.
Admission to the museum and most exhibits is free, though special exhibitions or events may require purchase of a ticket.
Defy gravity as you ride the High Wire Cycle 20 feet above the atrium; or visit the Learning Worlds designed to focus on a specific science genre – Energy Factory, Mind Zone, Water Works, Little Kidspace, and more. A number of special exhibits and events are planned throughout the year.
Lunch and dinner cruises, ecological and historical tours and educational field trips are available. Special cruises include Discover the River Cruises and Sunset and City Lights Cruises,
A living museum for plants, Toledo Botanical Garden's notable gardens include shade, perennial, English border, aquatic, herb, rose, dahlia and grass, among others.
Special events include the Crosby Festival of the Arts (June 24-26) and summertime jazz concerts.
• Pearson Metropark, located at 761 Lallendorf Rd., Oregon, is one of the last remaining stands of the Great Black Swamp, a notorious forest that once blanketed much of northwest Ohio. The thick woods and location close to Lake Erie make Pearson a favorite stopover for a wide variety of migrating birds.
Buildings, shelters, bridges, ponds and a garden with a waterfall were built by workers enrolled in Depression-era work programs, such as the Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps.
Park attractions include a pedal boat concession, sledding hill, a "Window on Wildlife," playground, ball diamonds, tennis courts, fishing and an 1800s Black Swamp cabin.
Open 7 a.m. until dark every day; extended hours for winter recreation.
• Magee Marsh State Wildlife Area. With more than 2,000 acres of prime habitats and more than 300 species sighted in the past, Magee Marsh is a birding "hot spot." A handicap-accessible boardwalk winds through marshlands reminiscent of what was once the Great Black Swamp. Birders gather and compare sightings at the Sportsmen's Migratory Bird Center and an observation tower.
• Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, located at 14000 W. SR 2, has been designated as a site of regional significance in the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network. In 2002, "Birders World" readers voted the refuge as one of their Top 15 favorite spots to see birds, and the American Bird Conservancy has identified the refuge as an Important Bird Area.
• The Wood County Park District oversees several park facilities in the county, including Cedar Creeks Preserve, a 42-acre tract located east of Walbridge where Woodville Road (SR 51) crosses Walbridge Road. The park is an excellent example of the former Black Swamp that once covered a large portion of Northwest Ohio and includes hiking trails, a footbridge, picnic tables, restrooms and an information kiosk.
• The Sandusky County Park District operates 10 facilities, White Star Park, located south of Gibsonburg on SR 300, has a quarry up to 40 feet deep that is used by scuba divers throughout the region as well as for non-power boating and fishing; a beach with changing rooms and a concession stand, and a campground located across from the park's main entrance that has electric and water hookups and primitive campsites on a reservation basis. In addition, the park offers picnic tables, grills, well water, restrooms, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, playfield, nature trails, mountain bike trails, shelters, day camp area and more.
• East Harbor State Park, 1169 N. Buck Rd off SR 269 in Marblehead, on the shores of Lake Erie, offers boating, fishing, swimming, picnicking and camping. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the abundance of waterfowl, shorebirds and other species of wildlife found in the park's scenic wetlands.
• Marblehead Lighthouse State Park, 110 Lighthouse Dr., Marblehead Marblehead Lighthouse, one of Lake Erie's best known and most-photographed landmarks, is one of Ohio's newest state parks. The grounds surrounding the lighthouse offer excellent picnicking and views of Lake Erie, Sandusky Bay, Kelleys Island and South Bass Island. Tours are offered on summer weekdays after Memorial Day until the Friday before Labor Day and on the second Saturday of the month May through October.
The arboretum has more than 17 scenic acres that border along the Portage River the Ohio Turnpike, just outside of Elmore. See gardens of nearly 20,000 annuals, roses, perennials, irises and lilies, including a Japanese garden complete with Torii, waterfall, pools, lanterns, bridges and a pagoda. A number of special exhibits and events are planned throughout the year, including exhibits in the Trellis Gallery, which has become a showcase for local artists.

Now celebrating its 100th year, the Boyer serves as a floating testament to Toledo's rich maritime heritage. Retired in 1980 and opened as a museum in 1987, visitors will be awed by the massive engine room, posh officer's dining room, stainless steel galley and the captain's quarters.
Located in the "Old Number 18 Fire House," the display includes many large pieces of vintage firefighting equipment, including an 1837 Neptune – Toledo's first fire pumper.

Once a month throughout Year of the Alumni, an alumnus will share a My Marian Moment.
This month, Sr. Norma Rocklage talks about the Franciscan Sponsorship Values and the great agents of change Marian University graduates are throughout the world.

While students may have headed home for summer, we are wasting no time readying the campus for their return in the fall! The construction of Alumni Hall, Marian University's new student center, is moving quickly and is scheduled for completion in August 2014. As of May 21, plumbing, electrical rough-ins, and roof installation have been completed.
Projects scheduled in the coming weeks include:
Students are eager for Alumni Hall to open. Becca Wagner '15, clinical laboratory science major says, "It is funny to think that the foundation started as a pile of dirt and now there is an actual building there. I am excited to have a new place to study, and having Starbucks on campus will be nice."
Marian University will officially open Alumni Hall in August. The ribbon cutting will be a special part of the 2014 Homecoming festivities and takes place on Saturday, October 18.

My guess is at some point during the healing from this you will wish she went to that hotel and you found out after she did what she was going to do.
I sometimes think that as well (pre D-Day, my WW and OM were planning a completely unnecessary overnight work trip 2.5 weeks later), but I know that had she slept with said douche-bag, I wouldn't have had any inkling towards R.
How are things going oblique?
Me BS (34) WW (29)
Married 2 years
2y old Daughter
D-Day 05 Nov 13
1. She (or OM) should leave the job.
2. OM's BW should know
None of this means that R is certain. It means you'd try if she did that.
Also #2 is not about revenge. You need an extra pair of eyes to cross reference stuff. The fact that it looks like revenge is just a plus.
Or you can negotiate #2 to get OM out of the company.
Question, how do you recover deleted text messages?
[This message edited by UneasyFeelings at 12:15 AM, February 14th (Friday)]
How many times have you talked to the OM? How was his attitude towards you when he then knew you knew?
I would not believe anything he tells you actually, why should he be honest with you and if he is, he will still minimize the truths to cover his butt.
You might want to actually find out more about this guys wife, from what I read, you are only going by what the OM told your wife. This OM could have told your wife this to get sympathy.
Your wife should be on the look out for a better job if possible, but remember, her changing jobs does not mean an affair ends.
I also think you are doing too many what-ifs in your mind, you are playing mind games with yourself and that can really wear a person out.
Try writing to yourself everything. And if appropriate, let your wife read what you write. Writing is great therapy and can help you think of things you never thought of before.
What is important to you know is knowing the entire truth. Why you wife felt she needed to do this in the first place, which will help to make sure it never happens again.

I adore Jenny's baking and her party styling. It's simple, refined, and always elegant while still fitting of the theme. When the book first arrived I couldn't put it down. I looked at every single page, I just couldn't stop myself. The 2nd time I went through I did so with little sticky flags, marking recipes I hope to create for parties in the future. I also decided I need more milk glass cake stands :)
Swooning over this perfect Ice Cream social. Jenny knows when to say when and not go overboard on loading down a table. And the playing with heights is something I really have taken away from this book.
And while I might not tackle making this gorgeous 3 scoop cake that she details for you, you can bet your bottom dollar I will be making these brownie sandwiches.
Jenny has over 100 easy recipes in her book from sugar cookies, to cake pops, cakes, and beyond. My favorite thing is that she always starts with box mix!! That's my kind of recipe.
Jenny has graciously agreed to give one She's Kinda Crafty reader a copy of Eat More Dessert: More than 100 Simple-to-Make & Fun-to-Eat Baked Goods From the Baker to the Stars

At the venue until Saturday, August 30. Stars Alison Steadman.
If Shakespeare could see Helen Edmundson's adaptation of Emile Zola's 1867 novel, a story of lust, murder and madness, he might have wished he had written it instead of Macbeth. This production really is that good. Horrific but funny.
Alison Steadman, magnificent as ever, plays Madame Raquin, as a good-natured but bossy old biddy who marries off her quiet niece, Therese, who she has brought up as a daughter, to her immature chump of a son Camille.
The desultory marriage remains unconsummated. The highlight of the family's dull week is when Madame Raquin's friends arrive to play dominos and drink tea.
Then, one evening, everything changes. Camille's old friend, the handsome and charming Laurent turns up. Suddenly the young girl who says she felt as "dead as a pressed flower" finds herself surprisingly alive.
In the midst of a passionate affair, the lovers conspire to kill the foppish Camille because he is in their way. Like the Macbeths, they think it's what they want but instead of bringing them happiness, they are locked into a creeping horror.
As with the Scottish couple, the chemistry between them is so convincing that, despite the terrible thing that they have done, you don't want them to fail. We all make mistakes.
Playing the oafish husband Camille, Hugh Skinner (memorable for his wonderfully well-observed work experience guy in the television spoof W1A about the BBC - he didn't say much more than "cool" but stole the show) would walk off with this one too if everyone else wasn't similarly luminescent.
Pippa Nixon offers a tour de force as the ever evolving Therese, who shocks herself at what she becomes. This is a delicate performance of great strength. It could so easily be melodrama, but it never is. This is a balletic show with satin smooth scene switches and slinky on-stage costume changes which involve her in graceful dance lifts.
More than one scene is reminiscent of a ballet to Dominic Haslam's powerful score, mainly for cello and piano. The lovers' passion and the murder scene have ethereal flair.
Alison Steadman's grief as the old lady bereaved of her son, her rallying of spirits when she thinks it's her idea to marry Therese again – this time to Laurent - and her final disintegration when she discovers the truth make a performance it is a privilege to see.
There is lightness and humour throughout, even at the grimmest moments of the plot – but a lot of fun comes from the domino-playing friends. Michael Mears is wonderful as Grivet the railway clerk with his dead-pan delivery, his obsession with punctuality and his insistence on the table being in exactly the same place each week, to the centimetre. Other characters can be having a nervous breakdown but he will observe that "well...if we want to play two games...."
Charlotte Mills is utterly believable as the breezy and bonny Suzanna, niece to Superintendent Michaud, played with solid realism by Desmond Barrit. There's one of her at every hen night, usually organising it.
This beautiful production from the Theatre Royal Bath directed by Jonathan Munby flows as a single torrent like the river in the story. Everything works, including the design (Mike Britton) the costumes (Caroline Hughes) and the sound (Carolyn Downing).
It's edge of your seat stuff, unforgettable, one of the best things on stage in a decade. Magnifique.
1 comment
I thought of Shakespeare too but left the theatre considering that Therese Raquin might be more of an anti-Romeo and Juliet. All is by arrangement, the antithesis of love struck by lightning, there is family arrangement unlike Shakespeare's 'two houses both like in dignity'. There is death and and a sort of freedom in it. Our Malvolio for this evening was the really beautifully played Grivet and of course he like Malvolio faced the end of joy in his own life- but there again the opposite of Malvolio in that his end is to be unconnected with the marriage in the plot. There are mirrors to Romeo and Juliet for me everywhere in this Zola story. I agree about the balletic stage production which really was enchanting and brilliantly choreographed.

Security guard
Once burned, lesson learned, the adage goes. So why do IT departments keep getting burned by the same security issues?
In large part, its the nature of the beast: network security is a moving target, with parameters and conditions shifting with each software version or patch deployment, hardware upgrade, merger or acquisition, and every new hire who receives a logon. The situation is further tempered by pressure to stay cost-effective, on budget, and on schedule.
The result: Even supposedly repaired problems can come back to bite you, and ongoing vulnerabilities can result from a missed server on a patch deployment. Microsoft, itself, was recently taken out by a good old-fashioned denial-of-service attack. And some security issues, such as e-mail hoaxes, get little or no IT attention at all.

New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg, the oldest member of the senate, announced today that he will not seek reelection.
"'This is not the end of anything, but rather the beginning of a two-year mission to pass new gun safety laws, protect children from toxic chemicals, and create more opportunities for working families in New Jersey,' he said in a statement. 'While I may not be seeking re-election, there is plenty of work to do before the end of this term, and I'm going to keep fighting as hard as ever for the people of New Jersey in the U.S. Senate.'
"Mr. Lautenberg, a Democrat who earned his fortune as a founder of the huge payroll firm Automatic Data Processing, had left the Senate once before, in 2001, but hated retirement so much that he jumped at the chance to return when the state's Democratic Party was looking for someone to replace Senator Robert Torricelli, facing an ethics investigation, on the ballot in 2002."
USA Today reports this opens the way for Newark Mayor Cory Booker to run for the seat. The paper reports:
"Newark Mayor Cory Booker has declared his intention to run for the Senate next year, causing some awkwardness in the heavily Democratic state. Rep. Frank Pallone, a longtime congressman, wanted to run for the Senate if Lautenberg retired.
"Lautenberg suggested Booker deserved a 'spanking' for openly coveting his Senate seat and said he was sure the mayor would not be a 'lone soldier' in a 2014 race. Polls by Quinnipiac, Fairleigh Dickinson and Monmouth universities show Booker would have had a substantial lead over Lautenberg in a Democratic primary."

Publisher Sony snuck this latest entry in its long-standing Navy SEALs-based shooter onto store shelves with very little fanfare. Odd, considering this was one of PlayStation 2's biggest franchises and the game introducing the PS3's swish new wireless headset (which is fantastic, by the way) – but we saw almost immediately why. This game simply wasn't finished when it was shipped. In fact, we considered holding our review until all of the game's problems were addressed in the patches we know are already on the way. But that may be awhile.
The first thing SOCOM: Confrontation did was spend 25 minutes installing more than 3 gigabytes of data onto our hard drive – this isn't optional, which is a worrying trend for PS3 games. But more worrying was the game's second act: immediately downloading a sizable patch that corrupted the save game data that the game had automatically generated when it installed. Once we exited the game, manually deleted the save data from the hard drive, then restarted the game, we were golden (well, except for all the other issues). But don't plan on playing anything but the blues for the first 30-60 minutes after inserting the game.
Moving on, let's assume for the sake of continuing this review that you've got the game all patched up and you're ready to rock. The first thing you should know is that this is online multiplayer ONLY. There's no single player mode – not even a tutorial that lets you get your feet wet. This is not a complaint necessarily; it's just a statement of fact. Don't come here looking for any sort of story or campaign mode or training wheels. That stuff's not here.
Also not here: Trophies, decent matchmaking and stat tracking, reliable servers, more robust clan features, graphics that are high quality or free of glitches, working sniper scopes and a smooth, lag-free framerate. This is, at present, a badly broken game. However, there are patches already cooking that should fix pretty much everything but the average-at-best visuals, so if you're patient, you should be rewarded.
So, what IS here? Seven maps, many of them vast and expansive and all filled with some of the most tense, gritty, realistic military combat you're going to get from a game. This is hard stuff, gang – if you run-and-gun, you will die, quickly and repeatedly, and in some matches you only get one life.
You'll also find the series' trademark cornucopia of equipment for the modern soldier fully intact, enabling you to customize your gear loadout exactly how you want it. The new motion controls for leaning around corners and jumping out from cover actually work pretty well.
Finally, the excellent quality of the headset (which we can attest also functions perfectly in Resistance 2) enhances perhaps the game's biggest strength: The teamwork with other human players that carries you through the nail-bitingly intense combat. This is why people love SOCOM, and why they will love this SOCOM as well. Once it's finished, at least. For now, buy this to get the headset for Resistance 2 and come back to SOCOM in a couple months. Maybe it'll be completed by then.

Grammy-winning guitarist and composer Bill Frisell recently spoke with Premier Guitar about his prolific career, the modifications he's applied to his Fender Telecasters and his current project, Floratone, with drummer Matt Chamberlain and producers Lee Townsend and Tucker Martine.
Frisell explained that Floratone – with an eponymous debut that came out in 2007 and the upcoming Floratone II - is an effort based in improvisation.
"Of all the things I've done, Floratone is definitely the most studio-involved," he said. "Most of my own music is more of a documentation of a band or some composition that I write, and it sort of captures whatever happens in a particular couple of days. The germ or the seed of Floratone comes from this wide-open improvising with Matt Chamberlain and myself – it's a completely spontaneous thing.
"We'd go in the studio for a day or two and put hours of stuff on tape, and then just leave Tucker Martine and Lee Townsend with this big mess of stuff. We give them the tapes and let them go wherever they want to, and it's wild to hear what comes back."
Read the full interview here, and check Frisell's official website for more information.

In what appears to be a terrorist outrage, twin bomb blasts rocked the highly crowded area of Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad on Thursday evening, killing at least 16 people and injuring more than 50 people.
The first bomb exploded at a bus stop and two other bombs exploded outside two cinema halls in the same area.
The first blast occurred at 7 pm when the traffic in the area was at its peak and people were returning to their homes. The second blast took place two minutes later.
The blast at the bus stop was so powerful that it had a devastating impact on the surrounding shops and the people ran helter-skelter.
The police suspect that the bombs were kept on a bicycle parked at the bus stop
The police, along with the bomb squads and forensic experts rushed to the explosion site. The police has closed all the roads going towards Dilsukh Nagar area and frisking operations have been launched.
A red alert has been sounded all over Hyderabad and other major cities and towns of the state.
Ten bodies have been brought to Osmania Hospital and anxious relatives were scrambling to find out the well-being of their missing members.
Significantly, the Dilsukh Nagar area has been target of terrorist attacks twice in the past. A bomb kept under a foot over bridge in the same area in August 2007 was found in time and deactivated, while the two other bombs planted at Lumbini Park and Kothi areas exploded and killed nearly 40 people.
Earlier a bomb planted at the Sai Baba temple in 1993 had claimed two lives. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, after visiting the scenes of the blast has ordered a high-level probe in to the incident.
What has added to his woes was that the Central government and the intelligence agencies had given a warning to all the states about possible terrorist attacks in retaliation to the recent hanging of 2001 Parliament attack accused Afzal Guru.

Re: AMRocky25 Presents: WWE - The Future
Hey man. I just wanted to give a few thoughts, because of all my reviewers, I've neglected you the most, and I just want to apologise for that. So, here are some thoughts about bits and bobs, and I
you a Cyber Sunday review.
The Revolution is an interesting concept. I like Edge and Jericho as leaders, but I feel it's a bit big, tbh. There's quite a lot of superstars in there, but at least you can tease break-ups, mutiny, and more, so it has potential. Loving the stipulation for the choice in Guest Referees, three men who hate the Revolution - have you made a decision about the voting? Do we get to do it, or are you just gonna choose it yourself? Either way, it looks like it's gonna be a good match.
I remember I dropped some feedback for ECW a while back, and Burchill has worked really well as Champion. It doesn't really matter who gets picked to face him, cause you'll put him over them, no doubt, but you've built Bourne up excellently so he looks like a strong contender, rather than making him look like a cruiserweight who's out of his league, so I'll give you props for that.
Again, I'm sorry I haven't given you any proper feedback recently, and I'm sorry I couldn't really talk about much here either. I just wanted to drop by and let you know I'm still trying to follow this, and you can bet your house I'll review your Cyber Sunday.

Council fields world's first rubbish-fuelled rubbish truck
For a brief moment this week, the focus of electric vehicle development in Britain was Huddersfield town centre and while the location may lack the glamour of Geneva, Monaco or Los Angeles what was on show was not without interest. Kirklees 'leccy rubbish truck Kirklees Council's 'leccy truck: local van for local people In …
Just one other problem...
So...let me get this straight...you have an electric truck...brilliant! Charged with electricity which is made by burning rubbish...which negates the Carbon Dioxide advantage. Thus completely negating the point of having an electric vehicle in the first place.
In fact...I'm pretty damn sure it'd be MORE green being run off diesel.
What lunacy.
Damn, I had visions of some vaguely steampunk looking contraption, trundling slowly down the street belching flames as it incinerated the rubbish that passers-by threw into its gaping maw. Or something.
Green Cross Code?
"... could pose safety issues for any locals who forget to look both ways when crossing the road ..."
Well, how about pedestrians actually F***ing look before crossing the road? Or is there a plan to retrofit bicycles etc. with "a recording of a thumping big V8"?
I say run the fsckers over.
Makes sense - when will other Stoopidz-Cooncils roll this out?
Next they'll realise land-fill-contents = "fuel" for burning, which means 'leccy for putting into the grid.
Surely bio-digestion would be better ?
I dunno, but burning the rubbish seems less green than putting suitable material into a bio-digestser. Once the bacteria start feasting you capture the methane and either use that to power the vehicle (the CO2 has already been locked into the plant / waste matter so it's not adding CO2) or to generate the leccy for the vehicle. The point being that the solid waste from the bio-digestion process can be used in fertiliser for growing more green matter that will lock in more CO2 and can be put through the process again and again and again ....
I'm not sure the ash woud have the same nutrient / calorific value. But who knows, somebody knows, but hey it's Freitag and these pine-kernel, olive and Rochfort toasties are helping me to produce plenty of methane.
(The futures a muddy sort of grotty brown imho - but not of the Gordon variety)
Council fields world's first rubbish-fueled rubbish truck
Not quite a DeLorean, and they need to get the electrical supply incorporated into a Mr Fusion device in the back - but they're on the right track...
Nothing changes
Why oh why etc... First we have garbage trucks that have horrendously noisy engines and now they're completely silent. I wish they'd electrify those horrendously noisy buses too.
Reminds of an apocryphal story from some years ago when some bright spark in health and safety thought it was a good idea to make the indicators on motorbikes beep when used (non-bikers: the indicators don't self-cancel). Apparently when a bike was waiting or turning slowly at a junction with said beeping indicators deployed the sound was uncannily like the beeping pedestrian crossings when it's safe to cross. Only it wasn't. Funnily enough they don't fit them anymore.
They're not the first...
We've had an electric powered behicle collecting food waste, which is them used in a biodigester to recharge the vehicle since mid 2008.
not First
Russia during WW2 converted quite a few vehicles to run on gas-generators. You load a tank with rubbish and wood chops, warm it (by burning some of it) and use the carbon monoxide, methanol, formaldehide and other nasties mix which the dry distillation of wood (and suitable rubbish) produces as a fuel for an engine. Hideous, smelly, inefficient but works.
Germans also used the same technology (to a lesser extent) in the later stages of the war.
So it is most likely not the first rubbish truck powered by rubbish.
A vroom box would do the trick!
Surly a "rubbish collection vehicle" collects rubbish and not garbage, unless the US has now taken over good ol' Blighty?
It would be interesting to compare the energy created from the burning of the refuse picked up by the van with the energy needed to run it.
Your figures only give the total amount of energy produced by the burning of waste, which I assume, doesn't all come from this little white van.
Electric vehicles....
... alternate fuels.....yawn.
None of this is new. I'm sure I'm not the only person to remember the fleets of electric milk floats trundling around our towns at the crack of dawn.
I also (vaguely) seem to recall Bristol University, in conjunction with a local power company, running a number of prototype electric cars back in the mid to late 80s. Even earlier still, Wessex Water Authority (as it was then) had plans to run vehicles on methane produced at it's water/sewerage treatment plants.
This is not new, peeps. True, vehicles powered by the waste they collect is *slightly* novel, but come on...
Bwa ha ha!
Great caption for the first photo... so you've been to the Cleckhuddersfax Triangle, then?
Interesting about the lack of noise...
...because just yesterday I nearly hit two pedestrians coming down a hill on my electric bicycle as they just stepped out into the road.
The road was recently converted to a one way, that is, UP the hill. So nobody bothers looking the other direction any more as they cross over.
Obvious conclusion, fit a V8 noise maker to my bike, oh and to every other normal pedal powered bicycles in my town too as the locals are far too stupid to bother looking.
And before anybody goes querying why I'm going the wrong way down a one way street, well its either that or the pavement, or a hundred odd metre detour which goes along a busy and dangerous main road with a huge bus lane where a bicycle lane should be. It was (or maybe just felt) less safe for me when it was a two way road!
There is a cycle lane on it too, but its on the right hand side when coming down the hill, and so drivers always think you're passing them on the wrong side.
Its all very complicated ;-)
Smith Electric Vehicles
Having seen Smith mentioned in this report, I found it worth taking a look at the Case Studies page on their website http://www.smithelectricvehicles.com for some fascinating examples of other situations in which these trucks have been used.
@ Roffey123
One interesting fact that arose during our visit to the EfW plant yesterday was that they have no idea how much Co2 the place produces. Apparently that measurement is not one they are mandated to take by either central or local government.
Of course the EfW plant would be producing the same amount of Co2 even if the leccy Transit wasn't being charged on-site, so from that point of view they are "saving" the Co2 a conventional lorry would generate.
The firm that built and run the EfW plant, SITA UK (http://www.sita.co.uk/local-authorities/integrated-waste/kirklees) take the view that the Co2 produced is far less damaging to the environment than the methane that would be produced if the same rubbish went to landfill rather than being burned.
As a road-user, you should be able to comprehend road signs... Could you not have (gasp!) got off yer bike and walked those 100 yards? Ignoring no-entry and one-way signs makes all cyclists unpopular. I'm guessing that traffic lights hold no meaning for you either?
I'm with Jerome. A total let-down.
Ya gotta love the little shed roof on the blue pole though.
@Bah by Stevie
That 'little shed roof' is probably a solar cell array for backup purposes.
If you bury organic matter in a shallow landfill, it decays to methane -- which is 20 times more damaging in its unburned state than the carbon dioxide you would have got from burning it. You could try processing it via some sort of biological digestion, but Hess's Law says the energy you get out of it in the end will be the same, irrespective of the exact sequence of chemical reactions.
Consider also that every molecule of CO2 that comes from this plant -- and much of it will invariably be from plant or animal sources, hence originally from CO2 already in the atmosphere -- means one less molecule of CO2 from a fossil-fuel power plant somewhere else .....
Co2? Dont' forget..
CO2? Don't forget, fossil fuels *also* were plants at one point or another. That said I think burning trash is far better than just tossing it in some landfill.
@Anton: Yep, I remember seeing a photo somewhere of a wood-converted Beetle. Same concept, you don't really *burn* the wood so much as gassify it, and the engine burns that. I remember the gassification made about half the power of gasoline.

Appearance: PPUG Saturday in Philadelphia (Withings WS-50 preview)
Summary: If you're in the Philadelphia area come see an exclusive demonstration of the new Withings WS-50 Wi-Fi scale that measures weight, body composition, heart rate, and air quality at PPUG.
I'll be presenting at the Philadelphia PowerBook User Group (PPUG) on Saturday, March 30, 2013, from 12 noon to 3pm local time. PPUG is the first dedicated PowerBook User Group in the United States and was founded in 1999.
We meet at the Manayunk Brewing Company along the beautiful Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and our meetings are open to all. We usually have lunch (or a brew) while we talk mobile computing.
We've got a big slate to present.
I'm going to present the latest in wearable fitness computers, including the Jawbone Up band, the BodyMedia Fit Link, and their associated iOS apps. I'm also giving an exclusive demonstration of the Withings WS-50 Smart Body Analyzer. It's your chance to preview the new wi-fi scale that measures weight, body composition, heart rate, and air quality before it starts shipping in mid April.
Rob Parker will do a roundup of the latest gadgets in the ParkerDigital stable, including the Pebble watch, Nike+ Fuel Band, FitBit One, Mophie Juice Pack Air for iPhone 5, and some iPad mini cases. Apple Distinguished Educator Youngmoo Kim will give a presentation about issues and tricks he's encountered doing presentations wirelessly using AirPlay. He'll be presenting using an Apple TV connected to a BenQ 761 projector.
Join us for a great meeting, it's free and open to you and your guests. Feel free to bring items to sell or swap as well.
