SREC Registration Program
The SREC Registration Program (SRP) is used to register the intent to install solar projects in New Jersey. Registration provides market participants with information about the pipeline of anticipated new solar capacity and insight into future SREC pricing. Please note that rebates are no longer available for solar projects.
NJ SREC Update:
Implementation of New 10-Year SREC Term
Clean Energy Act of 2018
Please be aware that to conform with the Clean Energy Act of 2018 signed on May 23, 2018, the Board has adopted rules to close the SREC Registration Program to new registrants upon the state solar electricity generation's attainment of 5.1% of retail electricity sales. A copy of the rule adoption is provided.
SRP Registration Processing Update
- SRP Registrations are being reviewed by the SRP Processing Team within 4-5 days from the date the registration is submitted in the online portal.
- NJ Certification Numbers are being processed within one week from the date the Final As-Built is submitted. At this time Final As-Built packets submitted through March 25, 2020 are being processed.
- If you submitted an incomplete Final As-Built packet, the SRP Team is processing deficiencies that were uploaded within 1-2 days. These revisions will be reviewed in the date order they were uploaded into the online portal.
- Additional status of Final As-Built submissions:
- 225 are currently under incomplete status
- 4 which were deemed incomplete have uploaded revisions
- 292 submissions from the portal are pending review
After the registration is accepted, construction is complete, and final paperwork has been submitted and is deemed complete, the project is issued a New Jersey certification number which enables it to generate New Jersey SRECs. SREC's are generated once the solar project has been authorized to be energized by the Electric Distribution Company (EDC). The following charts shows the volume of registrations submitted, as well as acceptance letters and registrations issued:
How did New Jersey Become a Leader?
New Jersey's Clean Energy ProgramTM was established in 2001. That year there were only six solar installations in the state. Since that time, New Jersey has established a model program and an integrated approach to solar development that includes:
- A strong Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) with a dedicated carve-out for solar generated electricity that has helped create sustainable demand and investor confidence in the market. Learn more.
- Excellent interconnection and net metering standards that have made it easier for projects to connect to the distribution system and be compensated for their contribution. Learn more.
- A SREC financing model that provides energy certificates and additional long term financing for those who invest in solar.
How do SRECs work?
Each time a solar installation generates 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, an SREC is earned. Solar project owners report the energy production to the Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS). This reporting allows SREC's to be placed in the customer's electronic account. SRECs can then be sold on the SREC Tracking System, providing revenue for the first 10 or 15 years of the project's Qualification Life.
The Clean Energy Act, signed by Governor Murphy on May 23, 2018, included the following provision: "For all applications for designation as connected to the distribution system of a solar electric power generation facility filed with the Board after the date of enactment of P.L. 2018 c. 17 (C. 48:3-87.8 et al.) the SREC term shall be 10 years." L. 2018, c. 17, 2(d)(3).
On October 29, 2018 the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities clarified the language above as follows: NJ SREC Update: Implementation of New 10-year SREC Term.
Electricity suppliers, the primary purchasers of SRECs, are required to pay a Solar Alternative Compliance Payment (SACP) if they do not meet the requirements of New Jersey's Solar RPS. One way they can meet the RPS requirements is by purchasing SRECs. As SRECs are traded in a competitive market, the price may vary significantly. The actual price of an SREC during a trading period can and will fluctuate depending on supply and demand. See recent SREC trading prices.
What is the SREC tracking system?
All solar energy systems eligible to earn SRECs must report system production based upon readings from a revenue-grade meter that meets the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard C12.1-2008. This meter is in addition to the electric meter installed by the local utility to measure the home or business' electric consumption. On May 1, 2012, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) re-adopted Chapter 8 rules with amendments that became effective on June 4, 2012. In re-adopting N.J.A.C. 14:8-2.9(c), the Board eliminated the use of production estimates for systems with a capacity of less than 10 kW. The revenue-grade meter must be installed by November 30, 2012. Following that date, SRECs will be issued to systems based only upon readings obtained from a revenue-grade meter measuring the system output. See NJ Administrative Code.
Once your solar project has been installed and your online SREC Tracking System account has been established, SRECs will be deposited in your account. The SREC Tracking System also records the sale of SRECs from generators to purchasers.
New Jersey's Clean Energy Program uses the SREC Tracking System GATS (Generation Attribute Tracking System), developed and supported by PJM Environmental Information Services (PJM-EIS).
Call 866-NJSMART (866-657-6278) for more information on NJCEP or 877-750-GATS (4287) for information on the PJM-EIS SREC Tracking System.

Sick Alaska seal shows possible spread of disease
(AP) -- Federal scientists said Wednesday that a nearly bald, lethargic seal recovered from the southeast Alaska coast showed the same symptoms of a disease that sickened ringed seals and Pacific walrus on the state's north coast last year.
Fishermen last week spotted the seal near Yakutat at the top of the Alaska Panhandle, where it was captured and taken to Anchorage. The seal was determined to be so ill that it was euthanized.
Believed to be a ringed seal, it suffered symptoms similar to the ones found in 60 dead seals and 75 diseased seals that were discovered along the Beaufort and Chukchi seas of northern and northwest Alaska beginning in July, according to a National Marine Fisheries Service statement. The areas where the latest animal and the seals were found last year are separated by thousands of miles of water.
"The seal, determined to be a yearling, exhibited almost total hair loss and nodular, ulcerated scabbed skin sores," said veterinary pathologist Kathy Burek-Huntington, who is part of an international group of experts working to the disease's cause. "These sores are consistent with the disease process we have been seeing in the ice seals in the North Slope and Bering Strait areas."
Most of the sickened animals were ringed seals but include 11 spotted seals and eight bearded seals, said Julie Speegle, a spokeswoman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Diseased ringed seals also were found last year in Canada and Russia.
Ringed seals are named for ring-patterns found on their fur. They are one of five ice-dependent seals in Alaska, with a range only as far south as the northern Bering Sea. The smallest of Alaska's ice seals, they are the main prey of polar bears. They're also the only type of seal that can live in seawater completely covered by ice, using stout front claws to dig breathing holes.
When snow covers the holes, ringed seals dig out lairs and give birth on ice. Pups are born without a thick blubber layer and must live on ice. Polar bears gorge on ringed seal pups during the spring, often capturing them by collapsing lairs.
NOAA is considering listing ringed seals as a threatened species because of projected loss of snow cover and sea ice from climate warming.
A DNA sample of the Yakutat seal will be tested to confirm that it was a ringed seal. Its blubber thickness indicated it was in good body shape.
Sick and dead ringed seals began showing up in July on the Beaufort Sea coast near Barrow, the country's northernmost community. Strandings were reported as far west as Point Lay and Wainwright on the Chukchi Sea. Symptoms, but no deaths, were also observed in Pacific walrus.
The animals had lesions on hind flippers and inside their mouths. Some showed patchy hair loss and skin irritation around the nose and eyes. Stricken live seals were lethargic, allowing people to approach. Necropsies on the dead ringed seals found fluid in lungs, white spots on livers and abnormal growth in brains.
The fisheries service in December declared the deaths an "unusual mortality event," giving researchers access to more funds and expertise to find out what had happened. NOAA last month announced that symptoms were probably not caused by radiation, which was considered because of the timing and size of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident that followed a tsunami in Japan last year.
Scientists were looking at immune system-related diseases, fungi, man-made and bio-toxins, contaminants, and stressors related to sea ice change. Dr. Stephen Raverty, a veterinary pathologist from the Provincial Veterinary Diagnostic Lab in Canada's British Columbia, said in December that open sores may lead to bacteria invading tissue, causing the animal's immune system to be suppressed.
Diagnosing the problem could be challenging, he said, because the initial virus might only be present for a short time.
Speegle said NOAA had received only a handful of reports of seals in Alaska with symptoms since the end of November and none could be confirmed. In early January, according to the agency, hunters in Alaska's North Slope Borough killed three ringed seals that had complete hair coats and looked healthy but had small lesions on their flippers.

the CNTBands tool is very usefull, specialy to appreciate the geometrics and electronics properties. I think that it's a very important tool to use in both cases ( education and research). It's gives an excellent introduction to the carbon Nanotubes with a explicit 3D graphics, without forgotten the possibility to compare the properties of many CNTs in the same time. however, there are some problems like the incapacity to simulate some CNTs such as (26,18) chirality. but mainly I think that the CNTBands is very powerful tool.
Provides an excellent introduction to the visualization of a 3D carbon nanotube as a function of chirality. Different geometries can be overlaid and compared. Simple calculations such as dispersions and density of states can be performed. Insigt into the semiconducting versus metallic carbon nanotubes can be gained.

Patricia Green Pinot Noir Hyland Vineyard 2017 750ml
Mcminnville Oregon Pinot Noir United States Willamette Valley
The beautiful state of Oregon has, over the past few decades, become increasingly well known and respected for its wine industry, with several small but significant wineries within the state receiving world wide attention for the quality of their produce. Whilst the first vineyards within Oregon were planted in the 1840s, the state's wine industry didn't really take off until the 1960s, when several wine producers from California discovered that the cooler regions of the state were ideal for cultivating various fine grape varietals. Today, Oregon has over four hundred and fifty wineries in operation, the vast majority of which are used for the production of wines made from Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir varietal grapes, both of which thrive in the valleys and mountainsides which characterise the landscape of the state.
Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
The beautiful wine region of Willamette Valley is located in Oregon, one of the main wine producing states of the USA. As in much of Oregon, Willamette Valley benefits enormously from the long, hot summers the state enjoys, and the mineral rich soils which typify the wine regions found there. Willamette Valley has built up a powerful reputation over the past few decades as one of the New World's leading producers of high quality, flavorful and characterful Pinot Noir wines, as the grapes of the Pinot Noir vine thrive particularly well in the region's climatic conditions. Willamette Valley is a fascinating wine region, and is a fine representative for the state of Oregon. Innovative techniques and wine making methods are fairly commonplace there, and the overall produce of the region seems to get better each year.

Eric Jaffe
Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
Recently I spent six weeks in Tokyo for a project entirely unrelated to my transportation writing at Atlantic Cities, except insofar as they both involve the planet Earth and the human race. Still, I intended to keep a scorecard comparing Tokyo's transportation system to that of New York. I kept score for about two days before stopping, mostly out of pointlessness and a little out of patriotism. It was clear even at this early stage which city would win.
No doubt a glass-half-emptyist such as myself could find fault with elements of Tokyo's transportation network given the proper time and linguistic capacity. But within my admittedly limited sample set I found the network — particularly the intra- and intercity rail system — difficult to overrate. The worst you can probably say about it is that it very efficiency creates a problem of crowding. Which, to keep the sports metaphor going, is a little like complaining about the jog after hitting a homerun.
So I'll invoke the mercy rule and, rather than provide a halfway completed scorecard that was tending toward a shutout, offer instead a few broad observations, for New York's own system to take or leave as it will. Hopefully take.
Airport Transportation
Contrary to popular myth, not everyone arrives into Tokyo in a plane that looks like this:
When you do arrive into Narita Airport, Tokyo's main international entry point, you're about an hour and a half from the downtown area — which itself is often half an hour from other parts of the rather expansive city. You can take a taxi into the city from Narita for a fare on the order of several hundred dollars. You can take public rail transit into the city for a fraction of the cost of a cab but a multiple of the hassle, at least if you have big bags. Or you can do the sensible thing and take what's called the Airport Limousine Bus service for about $40.
That modest fee includes a comfortable ride, an orderly boarding process, great attendance to your baggage, and tip, which in Japan is always zero. Though the system is not limited to English-speaking travelers it's clearly intended for them — which, as I'd later find, pretty much goes for all Tokyo transportation. The Limo Bus doesn't travel to every hotel in the city, but dollars to donuts (yen to rice balls?) it goes to one that's either a short walk or quick cab ride from wherever you're staying.
The service is almost suspiciously well-staffed and as a result extremely efficient. Narita ground transportation is ringed with numbered signs and digital placards whose departure times and places appear in English. People stand in neat lines marked by chalk. Boarding assistants position your bags, after they're tagged by destination, at the precise spot where they'll be loaded onto the bus. When it arrives, luggage assistants run over and load all the bags even before the last person is on board. Announcements are in English too, including the one that tells you to silence your cell phones "as they annoy the neighbors." When your bus pulls away, the boarding assistant bows in its direction.
Public Transit
Confusing as the system seems on paper, it's very simple in practice. That's especially true for English speakers. Automatic card vendors have an English button, and if you're still able to make a mistake a little bell goes off and an attendant pops out of a door in the wall you didn't know was there and fixes the problem. Video displays on board oscillate to English, and the final speaker announcement for each station is also given an English — a practice very welcome to this tourist but which must grate on city residents.
In truth you don't even really need to speak any language to ride: just know how to count and recite the alphabet. Each station, in addition to having a name, has a letter-number combination denoting the line and stop number. So if you have trouble at first recognizing the name Azabu-Juban, you can instead just make sure you're heading for N-4 — the fourth stop on the Namboku line. There is also a wonderfully helpful map on every platform that shows you which car to board based on your destination or transfer needs.
The lines themselves are seamlessly integrated despite being owned by different companies: you can take the JR Yamanote line to the Mita line on the Toei system to the Namboku train on the Tokyo Metro system without ever leaving a station or buying a different fare card. The cars have cushioned seats and floors you could eat off and an abundance of hanging straps. I once counted 87 in a single car. The (numerous) ads not only grace the walls of the cars but also hang from the ceiling, and flap a bit in the breeze of the air ducts.
The entire system is almost impossibly neat and orderly. The bathrooms in the stations are perfectly acceptable to use. I didn't see a beggar or performer on a train once in six weeks, and even the guy who sells concessions on the platform wears a suit to work. In the morning people naturally form lines where the doors will open before the train arrives, and the platform speakers pipe in bird calls to increase the serenity. The floors of both the stations and the cars seemed clean enough to eat off.
Speaking of mornings, the early rush is everything it's made it out to be. Take the most crowded car you've ever been on in Washington or New York and add, oh, 30 percent more passengers. You don't have to worry about holding a pole or a strap because there's nowhere to move: you're essentially a subatomic particle. The only thing between you and any number of moral and federal offenses is a thin layer of polyester; once you reach a stop you feel partly obliged to cuddle with those around you. That said, at every stop, those nearest the door funnel out to allow others to disembark, then funnel back in with great aplomb.
Still there are concerns about groping on trains during the morning rush, so there are Women Only cars for those times. Of course the act of groping implies a freedom of movement which, in my rush-hour experience, did not exist. I'm also told that some men, to avoid such accusations, sometimes ride with their hands above their head — like a basketball player does to show he hasn't committed a foul — in what's called a bonsai commute.
I did ride several buses in the outskirts of the city but found little of note about them besides, once again, cushioned seats, and also the fact that they turn off their engines at every red light, presumably to conserve fuel and/or mitigate exhaust.
Intercity Rail System
I'm hardly the first to say it, but Japanese bullet trains — called the shinkansen — are also as good as advertised. Not to sound like a broken record, but these too are quite easy to use for an English speaker: the same digital arrival and departure signs that oscillate to English; the same on-board intercom announcement in English, though in a British accent; even the car diagrams on the tray table in front of you offer English.
Now the ticketing process can be a bit confusing. Unlike Amtrak, which has a single fare ticket from station to station, the shinkansen requires you to purchase both a basic rail fare and then also a seat fare. The rail fare, for example, covers passage in the Tokyo-Hakata corridor, but an additional seat fare must be paid to reserve an assigned seat. You can also buy a non-reserved seat fare, for slightly less money, and duke it out in the non-reserved cars with other passengers.
Shinkansen platforms, like those of the Limo Bus, are well-organized. Taped lines and hanging signs (again, which oscillate to English) show you where to stand based on which car you've been assigned and which train you're taking. (While Amtrak offers only regional or Acela trains, there are several types of shinkansen, ranging up to the Nozomi, or superexpress.) Platforms have vending machines, proper convenience stores, and smoking sections, where passengers huddle around air vents.
Watching the JR staff turn a shinkensen at the end of the line is really something. Once a train arrives workers blitz through the cars, wiping down seats and tray tables and window sills and generally straightening the place up. Then they flip the seats with the push of a lever so they face the other direction. The task is taken seriously: when passengers are finally allowed to enter, the platform agent bows to let you know it's time.
The bowing continues on-board — it's done every single time a conductor or cart vendor enters or exits the car. There's no quiet car, but there doesn't have to be. Anyone who receives a call steps out to the space between the cars to talk. There's a small vending machine between many of the cars, and smoking rooms between others. In addition to bathroom stalls there is just a general sink area in case you simply want to freshen. Some trains offer both Western and Japanese toilets: to sit or to squat, that is the question.
The seats are often filled despite holding more passengers than Amtrak. Instead of a two-two seating arrangement, the shinkansen have three-two seating. (The automatic ticket vendors intelligently assign the middle seats last, so that you can often ride, at least part of the way, with a free seat beside you.) The only complaint I had was a lack of electrical outlets, though that's only true on the slower trains. On Nozomi every window seat has an outlet of its own.
A lot of people ride bicycles in Tokyo. The popularity of cycling holds true despite the fact that there don't seem to be any bike lanes in Tokyo. That's impressive but also annoying, since it means a great many people ride on the already crowded sidewalks. No one wears a helmet. This is only halfway related to biking, but it seemed worth mentioning that food-delivery people ride scooters with heated compartments that hold the food.
What's striking to an American in Tokyo is just how many women ride bikes. What's striking to a New Yorker is how many people leave their bikes places without locking them. I won't say I thought seriously about starting a bike-lock business and hiring a number of bike thieves for pretty cheap to get it going. But it's possible the idea crossed my mind.
Tokyo is a very populous city so it's not surprising that the sidewalks and crosswalks are often very crowded. I once wondered whether the famous Shibuya crossing was the Worst. Crosswalk. Ever. but having visited in person it's hard not to appreciate how many people are accommodating at a single intersection, all while cars wait patiently. (There's very little honking in Tokyo compared to New York.)
An American pedestrian in Tokyo also can't help but notice the corrugated yellow stripes that line pretty much every walkway. At first I thought this was to separate lanes of walkers, something I've always wanted in the United States, but I'm told these are actually guides for the blind. It seems like a lot of effort for a small part of the population — that's not to say it isn't admirable, of course — but it speaks, like the English announcements and cell-phone courtesies, to a general transportation culture of accommodating others.
The only element of Tokyo transportation I feel unable to evaluate with any authority is car travel. I know they drive on the left and don't honk much, but that's about it. I can remark only in brief on the taxi situation: it's expensive, with a starting fare up around $8-10, but you can pay with your subway pass — a remarkable feat of urban transport integration. (Side note: you can also use the pass to pay at most food vendors inside a station.) Also the taxi drivers wear suits and hats and some of them even white gloves. And they don't talk on their cell phone or headset. That might be annoying to the neighbors.

Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.
There's a fatal history behind the claim that African Americans are more resistant to diseases like Covid-19 or yellow fever.

Dozier's power surge sparking offensive attack
KANSAS CITY -- A power-hitting second baseman is a precious commodity and the Twins have one in Brian Dozier. With five home runs through the club's first 15 games, Dozier entered Friday's series opener against the Royals tied with Mike Trout for second place in the American League. They trailed only Jose Bautista, who had six homers.
Stationed at the top of the lineup, Dozier's instant offense has loomed large for a Minnesota attack which had scored 86 runs through Thursday, the second-highest total in the AL.
"Bruno [hitting coach Tom Brunansky] and I have been working hard on creating more power," Dozier said. "But my job as a leadoff hitter is to get on base and the power is secondary. Let the big boppers behind me drive me in."
Dozier flashed a power stroke last year when he hit 18 homers. His 23 jacks since the start of 2013 rank second among AL second basemen behind only Robinson Cano.
"The last couple of years, I've kind of learned when to take my shots, rather than go up there swinging for the fences," Dozier said. "That comes with experience."
Dozier moved from the leadoff spot to the No. 2 hole on Friday as manager Ron Gardenhire tweaked his lineup to go against crafty Royals left-hander Jason Vargas. It was just the second time this year that Dozier has batted second.
Dozier was delighted to walk out to batting practice Friday with the temperature around 70 degrees. After playing in 31-degree weather at home on Thursday, the Twins were truly basking in the sunlight.
"That [Thursday weather] was the coldest I've played in," Dozier said. "Today feels like 100 degrees."
The Twins can only hope that warm weather this weekend will translate into even more power performances from Dozier, who is now tied for fifth place on Minnesota's all-time leadoff homer list with six. Jacque Jones is the all-time leader with 20.

With the recent news that outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has lifted the ban on women serving in front-line combat roles, it is no surprise that CNN is cheering the decision. On Friday's Starting Point, host Soledad O'Brien attempted to undermine those who disagree with the decision by comparing them to opponents of racial integration of the military during the 1940s. [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Speaking to author Kingsley Browne, who opposes women serving in combat, O'Brien tried to set a clever trap. She read Browne a quote from a man she identified only as "this colonel":
"The Army is not a sociological laboratory; to be effective it must be organized and trained according to the principles which will ensure success. Experiments...are a danger to efficiency, discipline, and morale and would result in ultimate defeat."
O'Brien didn't tell Browne that this quote was from a colonel who served in the U.S. Army in 1941 and was referring to racial integration. She then asked Browne if that quote captured how he felt about women serving in combat. After he gave a brief answer, she revealed the true nature of the quote:
"I want to go back to the quote I read you. You know what that was from? That was a guy in 1941, and that argument was about not allowing black people in the military. That was his exact argument of why blacks should not be allowed in the military, because it's a danger to efficiency and discipline and morale, and will result in ultimate defeat."
Browne, however, was unfazed at being compared to a racially-bigoted World War II-era colonel, calling O'Brien out on the ridiculous comparison. "That's a pretty weak analogy, though, because race and sex are different." Browne went on to explain that the exclusion of blacks from the military was based on (supposed) social inferiority, whereas the exclusion of women is based on biological differences that make it more difficult for them to serve in strenuous, harrowing combat conditions.
O'Brien, however, didn't want to listen to what he was saying, repeatedly accusing him of making the same argument as the colonel, utterly convinced that her trick had worked.
For insulting the intelligence of her viewers and disregarding her journalistic responsibility to be objective, O'Brien should be ashamed of herself.

Home invasion: Man tells of terror on Cleveland Ave.
It was just before sunrise on Saturday morning, December 6, when 84-year-old James Wyatt was awakened in his Cleveland Avenue bedroom by a nightmare.
This nightmare, however, didn't end when he opened his eyes. A hooded figure loomed over his bed in the still darkened room, pressing a gun to the octogenarian's face, screaming garbled demands. As the haze of sleep evaporated, Wyatt realized with horror he was in the middle of a home invasion–- and now he wants to make sure no one else suffers a similar fate.
"Totally traumatizing," says Wyatt, a retired interior designer and World War II pilot, who had accidentally left a sliding door unlocked, allowing unfettered access to his home, located in the 500 of block of Cleveland Avenue off of Fifth Street.
Sadly, his experience, while horrific, is not unique.
In July 2007, two men burst into a Park Street home and held two residents at gunpoint while the invaders robbed the house. The husband and wife were pistol whipped, but survived.
Later that year, another young woman was not so lucky.
On Thursday night, November 8, 2007, Jayne McGowan, a 26-year-old UVA grad who'd recently returned to Charlottesville to work at a nonprofit, was at home in her tiny rental cottage on St. Clair Avenue after an evening at a friend's house. Sometime after 10:30pm, according to court documents, two men came to her door. They had apparently selected her house randomly, and set about committing one of the most disturbing crimes this town has ever witnessed.
They robbed her of her computer and her car, and shot her multiple times–- the last time, allegedly, as they were leaving the house and realized she was still alive.
Concerned colleagues discovered McGowan's body the next morning after she failed to show up for work. The two suspects, William Douglas Gentry and Michael Stuart Pritchett, are charged with Capital Murder in her death and will stand trial next year.
While McGowan didn't live to testify against her assailants, Wyatt will be able to tell prosecutors exactly what happened during the invasion at his home–- if police are able to apprehend the perpetrator. At press time, police had not returned the Hook's call.
"I said, 'What are you doing in my house?" Wyatt recalls. Although the intruder's shouting was difficult to understand, Wyatt says he finally comprehended the message: "I want your cash."
Forced from his bed with the gun inches from his face, Wyatt retrieved his wallet from a dresser. The wallet contained less than $40, and under cover of darkness, Wyatt says, he was able to palm his credit cards.
The whole time, Wyatt says, he stayed focused on remaining calm–- particularly because he feared his physical response could lead to serious health repercussions.
"I'm a stroke victim," he says, "so this was going through my mind also: 'You cannot lose it.'"
The intruder, Wyatt says, seemed to be a young, African American man, between ages 25 and 30, although his hood and the dark room conspired to obscure his features. Wyatt estimates his height to be the same as his own– about 5'10." He also seemed to be under the influence.
"He was either on something or just desperate," says Wyatt. Once Wyatt had handed him the cash, the intruder forced him back into his bed, then fled.
Wyatt called 911 just before 7am, and police arrived in minutes.
Although the invasion was over, Wyatt says his fear remained.
"It wasn't until the police came and kept saying, 'Are you alright?' that I realized I wasn't breathing. I literally was holding my breath," he says, describing the terror as, "Like trying to scream and not making a sound."
Although his children wanted him to stay with them the night after the attack, Wyatt says he needed to sleep in his own bed–- a trick for overcoming fear he learned as a pilot more than six decades ago.
If you crashed your plane, Wyatt recalls, "The first thing they'd do was put you in a plane and make you take off. It wasn't easy, but it's the best thing you can do."
Still, he's making some changes in security. He now locks not only his external doors but his bedroom door as well, and he says he's planning to install an alarm system. But he still feels the anxiety.
"It's going to take a month for me to feel that the house is my own again," he says, "if it ever does."
He says his message to other area residents is simple.
"I allowed this to happen by carelessness," he says. "Make certain, don't take a chance, check your door, check your windows. If I'd closed that door, he wouldn't have been able to get in."

Violent crime in his city, it's gonna get worse before it ever gets better.
Once again, With the history of violent home invasions in this city, this is exactly why Charlottesville police officers shouldn't park their cars blocks away out of sight and be out on foot trespassing and circling residents property late at night in total darkness. It places both the officers and residents in grave danger.
As some of you may recall, one of my outdoor dogs alerted on somebody trespassing and circling my home back in February of 2005. I saw no cars unknown to me sitting out front, and I couldn't see who was circling my home on foot. Before my dogs woke up the entire neighborhood, I decided I needed to go outside and see exactly who it was and what they wanted.
What if I had exited my home with a firearm? Especially considering the fact that when I did finally exit my front door all I saw was three people rushing towards me from the left rear of my home dressed in dark clothing. At this time I still couldn't see any police patches or badges.
One of the officers later stated he was attempting to peep in my windows. A cold February evening, 10:30 p.m., extremely cold outside, and attempting to peep in windows? After already parking marked police cars out of sight? WTF! Who trains these rookies nowadays?
It wouldn't have taken a rocket scientist to get dispatch to look up my phone number in the phone book and call me on the telephone. As a matter of fact, 48 hours later when they needed to speak with me again, they did exactly this... called me on the telephone first.
I still have nightmares about what could have happeend with somebody circling my home attempting to peep in my windows.
When some criminal gets his head blown off the others will learn. I hope a video of it makes Youtube.
And whoever does the blowing faces a minimum of $75,000 to $100,000 in attoney fees presenting his self defense claim to a jury. Don't ever assume the cops and commonwealth attorneys in this area wouldn't place murder charges because you were defending yourself, your home, or your family.
Had Mr. Wyatt been sleeping with a firearm under his pillow and blown this burglar away, there's no doubt in my mind he would probably be in jail right now with a $250,000 bond and awaiting a preliminary hearing and trial.
In the event I described above, if things had not gone south real quickly, I would have at a minimum been charged with brandishing a firearm on my own property.
Again--I will go out on a limb--if and when this mutant is arrested, I will bet anyone on this site a steak dinner that he will have priors AND at least one case where the justice system let him off too easy (I know, that is a subjective criterion).
For any of you who is interested, you can purchase nice black t-shirts from the Upper Darby, PA police department (outside Philly) that have the UDPD shield on the front, and the saying "Not in my town, scumbag." Just Google UDPD Upper Darby. Perhaps more of these t-shirts should be seen on the downtown mall instead of "Well behaved women rarely make history."
The poor lady on St. Clair, this retired soldier...are you getting the feeling that there are more of them than us?
Peace, love and Bobby Sherman to all!
There are indeed more scumbags of all demographics. It's true in society in general. However, instead of holding them accountable for their behavior and lack of any involvement as productive citizens, the welfare state that Charlottesville has sadly sunk into supports their ongoing degeneracy and then make apologies for them.
Sorry to hear that Mr. Wyatt had to endure this. Glad to know you're okay.

Can you imagine a town more idyllically situated than Constance? A question asked not only by visitors, but also by the locals who feel a great sense of pride in their hometown. The largest town on the lake, Constance is a resort of captivating beauty with views across the water to the Alps and the Seerücken ridge in Switzerland.
Constance itself may be the main attraction, but there are also plenty of other good reasons to visit. The Flower Island of Mainau, also part of Constance, is a destination in its own right that draws over a million visitors every year. In the spring and summer months, it is transformed into a mediterranean paradise with millions of flowers, orange trees, palm trees and ancient sequoias. Nature lovers will be in their element on the other islands too, for example on Reichenau with its sun-drenched vineyards and 'Wollmatinger Ried', one of the largest conservation areas in Germany. The Höri peninsula is an area of outstanding beauty at any time of year and a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Then there is Lindau, which can be reached from the mainland via a bridge or by train. The harbour and the famous lakeside promenade are among the features of this delightful island town.
Theatre, art, music and museums
Constance is a popular place to stay not least for its rich cultural scene – the perfect complement to all the beautiful surrounding countryside. Highlights include the South West German Philharmonic Orchestra, the municipal theatre and black light theatre, the arts centre (home to the art association and Wessenberg Gallery) and the 'K9' arts and culture centre with its programme of rock, pop, jazz, plays and comedy. The Regional Museum of Archaeology always merits a visit, as does the Rosgarten Museum, which documents the history of art and culture in the town and region. The Sea Life Centre shows visitors the underwater world of the Rhine and Lake Constance, following the Rhine's fascinating journey from its source in the Alps through Lake Constance to Rotterdam, where it flows into the North Sea.
Jan Hus and his ill-fated visit to Constance
One person who did regret paying a visit to Constance was Jan Hus, who came to the town to present his pre-Reformation theses at the Council of Constance in 1414. Despite assurances of safe passage, he was arrested and burned at the stake for heresy. That didn't stop the Church from electing a new pope, however: the papal election of 1417 is thought to be the only one that has been held north of the Alps. The Hus Museum attracts thousands of visitors every year; it documents the life and legacy of Jan Hus, who is greatly esteemed to this day as an advocate for freedom of conscience. Thankfully, his experiences in Constance remain a historical exception to the many happy visitors leaving with fond memories.

Feel the passion for football in Spain
FC Barcelona www.fcbarcelona.cat
Do you like football? The you will love Spain. From September to June, every weekend, you can see some of the world's best players in action. This is the spectacle of the Spanish football league, considered one of Europe's biggest. Great football in an unbeatable atmosphere. Don't get left out: come to Spain and experience all the excitement of the sport.
If you come to Spain and, walking down the street, you notice that there is almost no one around, don't worry. There's probably football on. We are talking about the king of sports in Spain. During the League season, hundreds of thousands of people head to the stadiums at the weekend to cheer on their teams and to enjoy a championship that is considered among the world's best for its high level competition and quality players. Spanish football is so famous all over the world that crowds of people come year after year to admire the Real Madrid Trophy Room at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, or to see the FC Barcelona Football Museum, one of the city's most visited attractions.
First class football... and more
The spectacle of great football is not the sole reserve of Saturday and Sunday, however. Excitement is guaranteed almost daily with the European competition games: on Tuesdays and Wednesdays there are Champions' League games, and on Thursdays, the UEFA Cup. Would you like to see incredible come-backs, fantasy football moves and impossible dodging and dribbling, all live? In Spanish stadiums you won't find it hard. There is something else you will discover, too: in Spain football is a fiesta that people live both inside and outside the stadium.
Hours before the game you can already feel the atmosphere in the area around the ground. Local bars and restaurants fill with lively fans who get together to have a drink, chat about their opponent's chances, and make predictions about the final result. The time comes and it's off into the stadium. Good sportsmanship and passion for the team colours reign in the stands: fans burst into chants in support of their team, applaud the best moves (including those of the opposition), and complain about the referee's decisions. Get carried away by the atmosphere - you are sure to have a great time.
Shared enthusiasm
If you don't manage to get a ticket and the game is on television, stay around to watch it in a bar or pub: there is usually almost as much atmosphere as inside the ground. Once the match is over, there is still time to have a drink and dissect the ups and downs of the game. This is as long, of course, as victory has not meant a title for the team or a defeat at the hands of the eternal rival. In which case fans will be off to celebrate in one of the city's emblematic spots: every team "owns" its own. For example, the La Cibeles Fountain for Real Madrid fans, the Canaletas Fountain for Barcelona supporters, or the Neptuno Fountain for fans of Atlético de Madrid.
If you want to see a live game, tickets usually go on sale a few days before at the stadium's ticket office. Some clubs also offer tickets on their websites or by telephone. If you want to live all the excitement of football up close, then come to Spain. You will become a die-hard fan. More information: UEFA

On Thursday, July 19 at 6 pm, I'm doing a blueberry jam canning demo at TAGS Hardware in conjunction with Porter Square Books in Cambridge, MA. I've also packed a number of preserves from my pantry to serve up at this event, so make sure to come hungry. Click here for more information on that one.

We'll be gathering at her place to eat, drink, be merry and sign books from 7 – 9 pm (we'll have them to sell if you don't have one). The event is free and we just had a cancellation, so there's still one spot. Click here to sign up.
I'm teaching two classes at Create-a-Cook on Saturday, July 21. Currently, they're both sold out, but it never hurts to grab a spot on the waiting list.
Finally, there's a last-minute addition to the Boston-area line-up. From 11 am – 1 pm on Sunday, July 22, I'm doing an apricot jam canning demonstration at the Woburn Whole Foods Market in Woburn, MA.

Challengers & Satellites
28.07.2006 -
Kiev Hosts Fifth FIVB Challenger
the capital and the largest city of Ukraine, hosts a FIVB Challenger for
the fifth-time where teams from Latvia have dominated the competition.
In the previous four events, Latvia has captured five of the 12 medals,
including a 2004 gold medal by Janis Grinbergs and Andris Krumins.
Grinbergs has four total Kiev medals with bronzes in 2001, 2002 and
2005. Krumins claimed a 2005 silver medal with Ruslas Sorokins after a
2001 bronze and 2004 gold with Grinbergs. Brazilians won the first two
Kiev events with Ukraine�s Mykola Babich and Oleg Nikolaev the 2005 gold
medalists. Kiev is located in the north central part of the country on
the Dnieper River. With more that two-million inhabitants, Kiev is an
industrial, scientific, educational and cultural center in Eastern
Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education
institutions, world famous historical landmarks. The city has an
extensive infrastructure and highly developed system of public
transport, including a Kiev Metro system. During its history, Kiev, one
of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, passed through several stages of
great prominence and relative obscurity. The city is considered to have
been founded in the fifth century as a trading post in the land of Early
East Slavs. It gradually acquired eminence as the center of the East
Slavic civilization, becoming in the tenth to twelfth centuries a
political and cultural capital of Rus', a medieval East Slavic state.
Completely destroyed during the Mongol invasion in 1240, the city lost
most of its influence for the centuries to come. It was a provincial
capital of marginal importance in the outskirts of the territories
controlled by its powerful neighbors: first the Grand Duchy of
Lithuania, followed by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and, finally,
Russia. The city prospered again during the Russian industrial
revolution in the late 19th century. After the turbulent period
following the Russian Revolution of 1917, from 1921 onwards Kiev was an
important city of Soviet Ukraine, and, since 1934, its capital. During
World War II, the city was destroyed again, almost completely, but
quickly recovered in the post-war years becoming the third most
important city of the USSR. It now remains the capital of Ukraine,
independent since 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Our One Ounce Precision Oiler's unique needle applicator puts Bluecreeper exactly where it is needed.
No Mess, No Waste, No Fumes
By: MRowley on 06/30/2017 05:32:16 PM
Just wanted to tell you about my experience with Blue Creeper. I had bought a Singer 401A, that had some issues with frozen feed dog cover post, which meant that I couldn't get it off to try to unjam the bobbin area, which meant machine couldn't be cleaned or even gotten moving. The post was just stuck and I really thought would have to just give up. Steve Wood of Woodland Quiltworks LLC asked if I had Blue Creeper handy, I did as I had bought some on recommendation of Scott Kennedy but hadn't ever used it. I put some on the post and it worked to loosen it up to where I can move it up, got bobbin area unjammed and things are fine! Will recommend it heartily now.
1oz oiler
By: Compensation on 10/06/2014 11:46:10 PM
I'm just going to start off by saying Buy It! After using the same penetrating oil for 14 years I have switched to the blue creeper. At first I was skeptical and it didn't impress right off the bat. Either the 3rd or 4th time I used it I was blown away. I used this "freeze off" stuff that people talked about. It was a vacuum pump on a diesel held on with 3 bolts. This one stubborn bolt made me reach for the freeze off stuff. I used it as directed and stripped the bolt head. After a few personal conversations with myself I remembered the creeper. I put two drops on the bolt and went to wash my hands. Came back outside and used the same wrench. Couldn't believe it, it came off like it wasn't stuck. No fight at all. You won't be disappointed. Only advice I can give is to let it work for 2 minutes.

I highly recommend Bluecreeper to anyone who maintains or fixes things. I have been using Bluecreeper regularly for about 2 years on my truck and sawmill business equipment. So far, one or just a few applications have loosened anything I've encountered that was stuck because of corrosion. My latest use just the other day, was to free up a hinge tensioning the up/down motor on my 14 year old sawmill. The belt from this motor was not tensioning properly, because the hinge on which the motor was hanging would scarcely move. I could not take this hinge apart, because I couldn't turn the 6" long, 1/4" bolt running its length. I saw that if I tried to turn this bolt I would break it, and go into a repair that would probably cost more than a hundred dollars and put me out of business for a week. I had no alternative but to be patient, and see if Bluecreeper would save me. Over an hour, using only a dozen or so drops from the little needle bottle, I made three applications at the ends and the two available places along the length of the hinge. The next day, when I remembered to check it, the hinge motion and belt tension was completely restored, and a repair was no longer necessary. I have several of the little needle applicator bottles in my vehicle, garage, shop and kitchen, and a couple of other refill bottles, and have given the the little bottles as gifts to friends and family. I also use Bluecreeper when drilling and cutting threads in rusty metal. JUST GET ONE OF THE LITTLE BOTTLES AND TRY IT!
BC 1 oz precision oiler
By: Joe A on 09/03/2014 04:58:38 PM
Started using Bluecreeper around the shop about 8-10 months ago after having used an aerosol type penetrating oil for years prior. A lot of my techs were skeptical at first wondering how such a little bottle could do anything close to what their beloved aerosol cans could do. Well after a couple days of use they were sold. The needle applicator is perfect for getting BC where you need it as opposed to everywhere else around where you need it. Less wasted product and more productivity. We use this product on all rusty engine components, seized suspension/steering components, and to service our own tow fleet. We had several ratchet straps in a bin ready to be tossed due to rust/age but figured we'd give BC a shot on them, a couple drops and a few minutes later and they were working like new and back on our tow trucks for regular service. A huge time and money saver all around and for those us in the automotive industry we know how important that can be. All in all BC is an excellent product and has earned a permanent home in our shop.

Had to replace the cab door handle on my 12 year old JD tractor. Screws were VERY RUSTED. I was afraid I might never get it off. Put a little Blue Creeper on each screw and all screws came loose with little effort. Great product!!
Stuck Oxygen Sensor
By: Magicman on 09/02/2014 12:26:48 AM
I had to replace a defective oxygen sensor and at first it would not budge. I guess after 8 years in an exhaust system, it should not have moved. After applying Bluecreeper, it moved just a bit. I just kept adding Bluecreeper and working the sensor back and forth. Bluecreeper saved me an expensive car dealer repair bill that day.

I used Bluecreeper to unstick the brake cables on my tractor. Put quite a few drops into the metal cable housing and in 15 minutes the cable was freed. Also worked great on freeing up a "grabby" door lock. Dana

One ounce precision oiler
By: ET on 08/30/2014 08:16:45 PM
I have large recessed bolts and nuts holding a 30" sawblade on my mill. These bolts have anti-sieze installed each time the blade is remounted. Sometimes over 3 months between changouts. They sometimes are exposed to the elements and on occasion been completely stuck. I discovered bluecreeper and purchased a bottle knowing I would have a future problem. Sure enough, it happened, so I placed a few drops on the bolt, I saw it penetrate immediately and the bolt started to move. What a relief. I carry that little bottle in my tool box from now on!
By: beenthere on 08/30/2014 07:46:02 PM
So many uses, hard to remember all of them. From 50 yr old rusted bolts in an old JD lawn mower left outside for many years (a drop of bc freed them all), to freeing up an old pistol hammer left in a damp basement for years, to oiling the hair clippers after each use, to freeing up a stuck chain sprocket on a 35 yr old haybine when heat wouldn't do it, to oiling the fine sewing machine mechanism, to carburetor parts that were sticking, to salt-corroded door locks, to oil for tap and die cutting, to etc. etc. and the list is endless. An amazing product, to say the least.
