House Votes To Block Light Bulb Efficiency Standards
Those standards were first enacted in 2007 under the Bush Administration by the Energy Independence and Security Act — though Congress has delayed implementation of the standards since. Many commentators characterized the standards as a "ban" on incandescent light bulbs, but technically they weren't. They were merely new efficiency requirements that apply to the manufacture of all light bulbs. Incandescent light bulbs are inefficient energy users, making the new standards a nearly impossible technological hurdle for them to clear.
Of course, that's how efficiency standards are supposed to work. Take the inefficiency of any given incandescent, multiply it by all the incandescents used across the nation, and that translates into a lot of wasted energy. That, in turn, means unnecessary energy costs for consumers and unnecessary carbon emissions, adding to the growing global threat posed by climate change. And as Times' Michael Grunwald pointed out, even without the standards in place, alternative LED bulbs are becoming more advanced and dropping rapidly in cost, while a new super-efficient incandescent bulb that uses nanotechnology was just released as well. The standards would merely serve to speed this process even further.
It's how markets are supposed to work: present them a challenge, and they adapt. None of that moved Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), however.
Last year he proposed language prohibiting any Energy Department funds from being used to implement the standards. He re-proposed that language this year, and today the House approved an amendment affixing it to the energy and water bill. "If the new energy-efficient light bulbs save money, and if they're better for the environment, we should trust our constituents to make the choice on their own move toward these bulbs," Burgess said while justifying his proposal. "Let the market decide."
But the way markets work is through price signals — that's how we sort out the value we place on the environment, versus the value we place on convenience, versus the value we place on energy, etc. And an appropriate signal for carbon emissions is precisely what we don't have. Carbon emissions threaten future damage to lives and the economy through the droughts, heat waves, and extreme weather brought on by climate change. Right now we don't pay for that damage when we use the types of energy that release carbon dioxide. Because of that failure, the U.S. actually subsidizes fossil fuel use far more than any other country in the world.
So for Burgess to suggest that blocking the standards amounts to "leaving it to the market to decide" is nonsensical. Without price signals, the market can't decide.
A cap-and-trade system or a carbon tax would address this problem directly. But in their absence, efficiency standards are a decent substitute. (And even in their presence, efficiency standards are a useful compliment.) If Burgess doesn't like the standards, and would prefer a more "market-based" solution to the problem of carbon emissions, he should put his money where his mouth is and propose one.

Burgess: another person who can't effectively administer his own metabolism but is supposed to show the rest of us the right way forward. I question his judgement.
A deranged metabolic state also predisposes to a deranged psyche. A brain in the early, or late stages of metabolic dysfunction, a type of neural diabetes, is on the road to dementia. Add to that the effects of Rightwing ideology, with its all-encompassing fears and hatreds, its rejection of empathy and its deification of greedy self-interest, and you produce a new species, the Reptilicans.
Nonsensical beyond belief. We haven't been able to buy incandescents for years now. Saves you lots of trips to the shops as well as electricity, ME
Sales of electric cars are finally beginning to accelerate – we'll get the latest trending report from Doug Fox, President of the Michigan Automobile Dealers Association. Next, a prolific author on climate change joins us for some analysis of Obama's climate plan. Dr. John J. Berger makes his debut appearance on The Green Front with some VERY quotable insights about the urgency of our situation. In our final segment I'm joined by two dedicated filmmakers–Alice and Lincoln Day–to talk about their award-winning documentary, "Scarred Lands and Wounded Lives, The Environmental Footprint of War". This important but overlooked aspect of the consequences of our military action gets a close-up look in their film.

Burgess didn't really give this any thought, it was an instinctive reaction. When the power and fossil fuel companies want something, he clicks his heels and says "yes sir!".
His district could be anywhere in Texas outside of Austin. I still like the scrawl I saw inside a restroom stall outside Dallas in 2005:
"Nice going, Texas. You f'd up the whole world".
So just don't buy incandescent light bulbs. Who cares what Congress says, the final decision is up to us.
In a country that produces huge amounts of light pollution and wastes electric energy by lighting up the night, do people think that energy is a problem? Inefficient trucks and cars abound. Wars with no purpose going on and on, spewing huge amounts of energy. A government and business complex that is leading us to oblivion, and we worry about a few incandescent light bulbs? How about all that flared gas at all those newly drilled oil wells? Much like our food, we throw energy away like it does not matter. So stop worrying about the little stuff, there are much bigger fish to fry.
I thought the industry was already behind the efficiency effort. I was under the impression that the manufacturers had done the necessary retooling. The "controversy" was just another Limbaugh hot air rant that he kept fueling.
The manufacturers mostly see the efficiency standards as a win-win for themselves and consumers.
Typical Republican BS. They have no plans to save this planet for inevitable disaster. They do not realize that it will impact the bottom line of big business and make it harder for companies to make a profit. Blind free-market economics will lead us down the road to nowhere and ultimately harm the market system itself.
"Many commentators characterized the standards as a "ban" on incandescent light bulbs, but technically they weren't. They were merely new efficiency requirements that apply to the manufacture of all light bulbs, and incandescent light bulbs are inefficient energy users, making the new standards a nearly impossible technological hurdle for them to clear."
Boy, in supposedly correcting a factual error, a new factual error was advanced!
The incandescent lamp manufacturers in the US and Europe agreed to an efficiency standard that knocks out cheap bulbs while giving their own improved incandescent lamps competitive parity. The standard demands increased efficiently that is precisely their state of the art for halogen incandescent lamps, which are made efficiently by highly automated equipment. This does prevent old obsolete lamp making equipment from being used in Asia to make lamps for the US and Europe.
The efficiency standard is intended to promote US made incandescent lamps over imported lamps.
Whether that occurs in irrelevant – Asian manufacturers will invest in new machines made in the US and operate them with lower profit margins.
But the correct description of the Republican actions are as "promoting cheap Chinese imports to kill US manufacturing jobs." Other than specialty lamps, none of the affected lamps have been made in the US and Europe for a decade.
Furthermore, Republicans are arguing that capitalism is a failed concept – rather than investing in higher technology to save money in the long run, Republicans are advocating the "pennywise pound foolish" strategy of cutting corners with cheap goods and spending lots more daily operating them. This is like skipping college or trade school to quickly begin earning a low wage without benefits without job security or any possibility of advancement.
If conservative Republicans had their way, we would still be heating and cooking with wood in the East while on the prairie they would be burning buffalo dung, because the capital cost of investing in mining and railroads can not compete with burning wood. Today's Republicans would oppose the radical leftist big government President Lincoln who made a career promoting railroad building and oversaw the beginning of the transcontinental railroad that opened up California.
Again, incandescent lights using the very mature halogen technology are the favored technology for the new lighting standard.
So they attach this amendment to a House bill – that doesn't mean anything without a matching amendment in the Senate right?
The Senate in Dem hands has zero chance of passing this nonsense (although they pass plenty of other nonsense). It's nice to highlight the GOP never ending to pass nonsensical items in the House but from my understanding its really meaningless since they can't pass it in the Senate.
This is true, the industry is behind the change and already invested in it.
Without compatible Senate legislation I don't think this legislation would ever take effect – and the Senate isn't going to pass anything like this.
It's a knee-jerk reaction against "anti-freedom" regulation. I suppose Asiana ought to have been free to equip their plane however they wanted. Luckily, regulations were in place to retard the fire and anchor the seats, and most people walked away.
why do some people see regulation as an infringement on their personal choice instead of a pragmatic, common-sense way to protect all of us? It drives me absolutely nuts.
The Reptilicans simply love the word 'incandescent', because they are habitually incandescent themselves, burning brightly with rage at all that is different from themselves. I myself, being of Incan descent, worship the Sun, and have no need for self-immolating anger or angst.
It is, of course, important that people be free to be as moronic, greedy, paranoid and venomous as their spleen desires. But they really have no right to impose their character flaws on others.
High efficiency LED lighting is a no brainer as are the GOP laggards who voted against it.
Thanks for a dose of reality, which, for a change, is a WELCOME dose of reality.
That's what the article is proposing – impact pricing so that if people really want the bulbs they pay a premium for them. And not to prod the metaphor, but all that action may have no change on the fact that every year there's smaller and fewer fish to fry.
Three speakers that help to bridge the ideological divide on climate change. http://bit.ly/135gvNa
It is the low mental wattage voters that put this "dim" wit into office that we should be concerned about!
Particularly stupid, even w/o climate change considerations because shale oil and gas are looking more and more like a flash in the pan. Like in 5 years the Bakken, etc., will be producing less than 10 barrels/day. (Which is why no attempt to build pipeline.)
In link below, Deborah Rogers, from Energy Policy Forum, explores corollaries between the recent shale gas drilling frenzy and mortgage crisis. Investment banks are at it again.
She, in her blog, also quotes Exon saying in 2012 that 40% of their reserves are in shale oil. Includes this quote:
"As one geologist put it: these companies appear to be in slow liquidation."
Talk about interesting times.
The story is good but your spelling not so much. The word in the first paragraph should be since, not sense. Sounds the same but two entirely different meanings.
Incandescents lasting 20 000 hours can and are being made for industry (eg mines).
The current 1000 hr life of banned incandescents is by agreement among GE, Philips and Osram/Sylvania for the consumer market.
The same manufacturers lobbied for and welcomed the current ban on generic patent expired unprofitable simple bulbs
(why welcome what you can or can't make? )
To add to my last comment, in the EU which has a ban already, the UK Gov advising Cambridge Scientific Alliance, normally supportive of energy and climate legislation, was critical of the ban regulation:
"The total reduction in EU energy use would be 0.54 x 0.8 x 0.76% = 0.33%
This figure is almost certainly an overestimate……
…..Which begs the question: is it really worth it?
Politicians are forcing a change to a particular technology which is
fine for some applications but not universally liked, and which has
The problem is that legislators are unable to tackle the big issues of
energy use effectively, so go for the soft target of a high profile
domestic use of energy…
…This is gesture politics."
Hey repubs! How is the jobs bill coming along?
Based on the shenanigans and peccadillos of a few, they are not so much incandescent as merely "flaming"
Joe. You were right to delete my Rick Perry comment and I thank you for doing it. It was over the top and not appropriate for the subject or the site.
"the final decision is up to us." That's true, directly or indirectly, for all energy use. But, that means we would have to take responsibility for the climate change problem, so let's blame it on some third party.
You can generalize that statement for most of the 535 members of Congress.
Oh, please. Even a broken clock is right twice a day!
A rude gesture, in fact.

Coating Materials

Asia Pacific;
North America
Riding a wave of "remarkable growth," the global protective coatings market is in for some boom years, boosted by spiking end-user demand and a push for environmentally friendly products, a new report says.
"The global protective coatings market, along with its end products, has witnessed remarkable growth in the past few years," reports "Protective Coatings Market by Resin Type, by Technology & by Application—Global Trends & Forecast to 2019."
And the next five years should be strong as well, the report adds.
The market is expected to be worth $18.4 billion by 2019; in 2013, that estimate was $10.5 billion. The market will enjoy a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.75 percent from 2014 to 2019, the report says.
End-user industries and the development of new products are expected to drive protective coatings market growth from 2014 to 2019, according to a new report.
Potential in the construction, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace and product finishes markets will drive growth; the introduction of, and continuing demand for, new and improved products will add their own push.
The report was published July 23 by MarketsandMarkets, a global market research and consulting company based in Dallas, TX. The company publishes several hundred reports per year for various industries.
Construction Takes Control
Construction applications dominated the market in 2013, accounting for almost 49.82 percent of the total demand, according to the report.
"Rising need for infrastructure is driving the consumption of protective coatings in the construction industry," the report says.
Construction was followed by the automotive industry, mainly because of its "high penetration" throughout all regions.
The automotive and aerospace industries' market for protective coatings is expanding due to "accelerating demand for efficiency."
In the oil and gas industry, increasing demand for protection from corrosion and environmental factors is expected to rapidly grow the market.
The Asia-Pacific region dominated global growth, accounting for 68.52 percent of demand in 2013. Europe was the second largest region, followed by North America.
"Other end-use industries such as marine, wind turbines, chemical & fertilizer industry, and OEMs have not commercialized the use of protective coatings and are thus set to record a lower growth rate," the report says.
Asia-Pacific: 'The Most Important Market'
According to the report, the global protective coatings market is experiencing a "huge surge," particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, which is currently the fastest-growing market, driven by flourishing infrastructure and automotive sectors.
Accounting for about 68.52 percent of the global demand in 2013, the Asia-Pacific region is "the most important market," the report says.
High growth potential for protective coatings in the infrastructure and automotive sectors in China and India will bolster the region's future growth, the report says.
Europe and North America were the second- and third-largest regions, respectively, for coatings consumption.
Resins Restrict Growth
Market players are developing new products to drive growth, and most companies are developing new and improved products to meet end-user industry demand. Additionally, companies are reaching into new regions by geographically expanding their operations and production capacities, the report says.
Technology types analyzed in the report include solvent-borne, water-borne and powder finishes.
"Stringent government regulations" are forcing the rapid replacement of solvent-borne coatings with water-borne and other environmentally friendly technologies.
The value of the protective coatings market in 2013 was estimated to be $10,594.6 million, and that total will continue to grow from 2014 to 2019 with a projected CAGR of 9.75 percent, the report says.
"The quality, durability, corrosion and fire protection properties, and the upcoming safety regulations and innovative techniques for its use will be the key influencing factors for the global protective coatings market with the increased emphasis on its different types and applications," the report says.
The report also takes a look at resin types, including alkyd, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane and polyester.
Epoxy led the market in 2013 with a maximum share of about 32.79 percent. The report attributes this to epoxy's high level of mechanical, corrosion protection and chemical resistance properties.
"However, fluctuations in the cost of resins and lack of innovation in the industry are restraining the growth of the protective coatings market," the report notes.
Key Players
Looking forward, the report says the protective coatings market has an "immense potential toward attracting small and big level industry players."
The report also profiles the industry's leading players and provides detailed discussions of their competitive scenarios, recent developments and strategic industry activities.
Key manufacturers identified by the report include AkzoNobel N.V. (the Netherlands); PPG Industries (U.S.); The Sherwin-Williams Company (U.S.); Jotun (Europe); Arkema Group (France); Kansai Paint Company Limited (Japan); and The Valspar Corporation (U.S.).

Researchers at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry have uncovered how a new class of antibiotics works. Their findings may lead to development of drugs that could someday be a key weapon in the fight against deadly antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
Despite guidelines to restrict blood transfusions, a wide variation in practice persists across New York State, resulting in complications such as infections and pneumonia, a URMC study concluded.
The discovery of a new way that platelets get switched on after a heart attack or stroke may help inform the development of drugs that prevent dangerous clots in patients.
A small number of testicular cancer patients—about 11 in 6,909—died of cardiovascular disease in their first year after diagnosis and treatment with chemotherapy, a statistic that's noteworthy because the cancer itself is usually curable and tends to afflict young men, according to a Wilmot Cancer Institute study.
URMC's Heart Research Follow-up Program is home to an electronic database of millions of ECG recordings that are used by companies and universities to test new ECG technologies and the safety of new drugs. Boston Scientific is the latest company to tap into this resource.

We found out our baby daughter will have a cleft at the 20 week ultrasound (the perionatal thinks it is just the lip) and it's isolated. We have a 2.5 year old boy who seems to be looking forward to having a baby sister. As you would expect my wife is devastated. As others have said, she has gone through every emotion imaginable (guilt, why is God punishing me, what did I do wrong, why do all my friends who did drugs and alcohol and took the pill have normal babies, being a good person wasn't worth it, etc ...). She wanted to abort when she found out which in California is legal up to 23 weeks. She says she wants to die and if she had the courage she would buy a gun and kill herself.
While I am disappointed, I am a person who doesn't fret over what I have no contol over. I figure it is what it is and we will get through it; it doesn't really matter to me in the long run. I also know we are very fortunate, we have good insurance and a good surgical team. We have the ability to provide her with what she needs.
So, here is my question to anybody who has some experience with this. How do I help my wife with this? At my insistance we are going to a therapist on Friday. But I don't know what to say to her. When she says she wants to kill herself I ask her what about me and our son. She says we will be fine without her. (To be clear, I am a trained social worker and I know about suicidality; I am extremely confident that she is being dramatic and this is her way of coping.) She is withdrawn, depressed, cries a lot, and thinks that nothing in life should be enjoyable.
I don't know how to respond to her fatalistic thinking. She admits she is being selfish and superficial, but it doesn't change her attitude. I find it difficult to counter what I think is irrational thinking. Now, I understand the disappointment and fear, but I don't understand thinking that the world has ended. I have to be strong, but her demeanor is affecting our relationship as well as those with our son and our daughter to be. I really don't know what to do or how to respond to her. I don't know what a good husband can do in this situation or what a wife expects from said husband.
Thank you for listening to this long and somewhat disjointed plea for help.

all my googling only turned up issues that should always happen. not random, sporadic occurrences.
any suggestions?

A man, his wife and son were cited for obstruction for lying to police about an accident the boy had that caused a tree to hit a neighboring house.
According to the Glendale police report:
The 15-year-old boy lost control of the car while pulling out of his driveway and drove onto a neighbor's yard knocking over two trees, one of them hitting the house, in the 1800 block of West Wayside Drive about 7 p.m. Oct. 9.
The woman, 55, said she was in the car with the boy who had a learner's permit.
The boy and his father, 53, told the same story. However, the boy did not have a permit and the woman was not in the car.
The father was also cited for permitting an unauthorized driver to drive and the boy was cited for driving without a valid license.
The father said he would pay for damage, which were not listed.

The U.S. Geological Survey says a 6.9 magnitude earthquake has struck off the southeast coast of Taiwan.
The agency says the quake hit at 10:59 a.m. local time (0259 GMT) Monday, 195 miles (295 kilometres) off the southern Taiwan city of Taitung.
Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau says no tsunami warning has been issued.
Buildings swayed in Taipei, the capital, when the quake hit, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

Either Twitterverse is showing Mitt Romney some love, or there are quite a few bogus accounts now following him.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee gained 116 thousand followers last Friday and another 24 thousand followers Saturday, according to Twitter Counter.
By Tuesday morning, Romney's followers totaled about 807 thousand, up from 670 thousand four days ago.
Zach Green, with 140elect.com, a site that monitors social-media activity in politics, says someone else may have added fake followers in an effort to embarrass the Romney campaign.
Green says he hasn't seen any increase in Twitter mentions, retweets or other signs that point to authentic growth on the site.
The Romney campaign say it has reached out to Twitter to find out the legitimacy of the new followers.
In case you're wondering, Romney's opponent, President Obama, has 17.8 million followers on Twitter.

Nostalgia wins in best ice cream poll
Updated 5 p.m.
With the unofficial start of summer kicking off on Memorial Day, sweet frozen treats are top of mind.
So I asked readers last week to vote for their favorite ice cream shop in Orange County.
The 20 brands represented in our unofficial survey ranged from giant chains such as Baskin-Robbins and Dairy Queen to hidden gems like Strickland's in Irvine and Hans' Homemade Ice Cream in Santa Ana.
As of midnight Monday, nearly 2,500 votes were cast.
In the end,� nostalgia took top honors.
With 20 percent of the vote, Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour won, followed by Thrifty Ice Cream and Hans' ice cream.� The trio have been around (on and off) for decades and have a fierce loyal following. Together, Farrell's, Thrifty and Hans' - a mom-and-pop scoop shop near South Coast Plaza -- nabbed 47 percent of all votes.
"I went to Farrell's and their ice cream was just as I remembered," wrote reader Beth Sparks-Jacques. "I was able to order my favorite sundae even though it wasn't on the menu. I was in retro bliss!"
For Farrell's, the win marks an amazing feat.
The ice cream shop made its Orange County comeback less than a year ago, giving it less time to woo every sweet tooth in the area. Yet it managed to beat Thrifty by more than 100 votes.
"Even though we have only been open for� seven months, we are continuing to bring the ice cream quality that made Farrell's famous for over 30 years," co-owner Mike Fleming told me late Monday.� "Our entire Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour team is very excited about winning the 'Best Ice Cream' poll, and we greatly appreciate all those who voted for us."
Now there's a funny little twist to this story.
It's not surprising that Orange County ice cream lovers chose Farrell's and Thrifty as their top two choices.
Fleming confirms that Farrell's gets its ice cream from Thrifty, a beloved El Monte-based brand served in Rite Aid stores. The ice cream's famous cylinder-shaped scoops were first sold in Thrifty drug stores for decades.
Rite Aid bought Thrifty in the mid-1990s, and kept the scoop shops inside many drug stores, including those in Southern California. It's biggest fans are those who recall buying a single scoop for as low as 5 or 10 cents in the 1970s and 1980s.
Even today, the ice cream is inexpensive compared to rivals.� A single scoop costs $1.29, while a triple scoop is $2.49.
"Thrifty's ice cream is by far the best," one reader wrote. "And you can't beat the price."
And apparently you can't beat the taste.
Farrell's tested several ice cream suppliers before opening its much-anticipated comeback store in Mission Viejo. In blind taste tests involving more than 100 people, Thrifty always came up on top, Fleming said.
"We take ice cream very seriously because our guests expect and deserve the best," he said.
"It appears we made the right choice."
Farrell's favorites: Farrell's most popular ice cream dishes are the Hot Luncheon Sundae, the Brownie Sundae and the Oreo Bliss.� (The latter, by the way, is my personal favorite.) Top flavors include chocolate, vanilla and mint chip.
Other Farrell's news: Farrell's is holding its first ice cream eating contest July 18 -- coinciding with National Ice Cream Day. Qualifying rounds will be held June 21-25.� Contestants will be timed while eating a three-scoop sundae. The top 8 fastest in each category will go to the finals July 18. For more information, visit www.FarrellsUSA.com.
Thrifty news: Rite Aid is hosting a contest to celebrate 70 years of Thrifty ice cream. Vote for your favorite scoop, and win a chance for an all expense-paid ice cream party.
Honorary mention: I'd like to give a big shout out to the fans of Hans' Homemade Ice Cream in Santa Ana. This indie scoop shop (top photo) has dedicated fans who rave about Hans' homemade flavors. The shop, which maintains its old Swensen's decor, is so old-fashioned it doesn't have a corporate website.� Oh and forget plastic. Hans' only accepts cash, so grab some dollar bills to cover the cost of a $3.50 scoop of delicious 16% butterfat ice cream.� Congrats Hans for nabbing third place. Address: 3640 S Bristol St. (near South Coast Plaza)
(By the way, my vote went to Quinn's in Los Alamitos, which sells Fosselman's ice cream.)
BEST OF O.C. BEGINS: Help choose the best of Orange County by voting for your favorite restaurants, shops and more.� Win prizes for voting and commenting. Go to ocregister.com/voteocbest to cast your ballot.

Schools start the year right with food direct from farms
Published: Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 7:27 p.m.
RALEIGH The first deliveries of North Carolina produce have hit cafeterias in 55 school systems as part of the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Farm to School Program.
Participating school systems placed orders for locally grown watermelons, cantaloupes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes and four varieties of apples. Deliveries were made Monday and will be made again Sept. 12.
Polk County is making Farm to School purchases.
We have seen steady growth in the Farm to School Program since it started 13 years ago, and this year is no different, said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.
Orders were up for each of the produce items offered, plus 12 more school systems are purchasing these start-of-school commodities compared to 2009. We are proud because this program is great for students and farmers.
The N.C. Farm to School program is managed by the NCDA&CS food distribution and marketing divisions, supplying fresh North Carolina-grown fruits and vegetables throughout the year to school districts statewide.
The food distribution division works with child nutrition directors to secure orders and is also responsible for picking up and delivering the fresh produce from the Farm to School systems. The marketing division works with local farmers to source the commodities for orders and designs promotional materials for school districts that focus on nutritional information and the benefits of locally grown produce.
The fruits and vegetables in the N.C. Farm to School program are grown by farmers from the coast to the mountains. Each participating farm is certified in good agricultural practices, which is a food safety certification that ensures all produce is grown and packaged under safe conditions. Farms are also members of the NCDA&CS Goodness Grows in N.C. program.
For the 2010-11 school year, the N.C. Farm to School program will offer the following fruits and vegetables to school districts statewide: watermelons, cantaloupes, slicing and grape tomatoes, several varieties of apples, broccoli crowns, sweet potatoes, green and red cabbage, Irish potatoes, collards, romaine lettuce, apple slices, sweet potato chunks, strawberries, yellow squash, zucchini and blueberries.

How do you know when to replace the elastic in your BG 4.0's? I used them for DS for about 18 months and now DD has been using them for a few months. She tends to leak out the front sides of the legs and I don't know if it is because she still has such tiny legs (she wears them on the tightest setting possible still) or if the elastic needs to be replaced. I never had the issue with DS. The inserts are soaking when I take them out, so maybe she is a heavier wetter and I need to change her more frequently or put hemp in for the inserts. Any thoughts? Thanks!
replacing elastic in BG's.
Comments (5)
if they've been used 18m i would put money on the elastics being relaxed.
you need to either 1- spend more money on cottonbabies crap elastics in the form of 'refresher kits' or 2- go to a fabric store and buy some good quality 5/8" elastic (you will need to cut them to 4.5" lengths, so a single diaper X3 elastics is 14")
locate elastic inside the pocket, the very end of the elastic will be sticking out of the casing. use a seam ripper to very gently unstitch one end of the elastic (don't lose it though cause its going to help you get the new elastic through the casing). i like to tack one end of the new elastic to the end of the old elastic with coloured thread (easier to thread through than a safety pin and easy to undo) sew the other end of the new elastic down to the place you ripped off the old one with polyester thread. pull new elastic through by pulling the opposite end of the old elastic. seam-rip old elastic on the other end. sew new elastic in
its slow since you have to be very careful and the there's a lot of layers to sew through...but its easy enough. i just did a bunch of mine the other day
I don't get 'drunk' I get less classy and more fun
Thanks! I had a feeling the elastic is relaxed since I bought a new one and the legs seemed to fit her much better.
Oh boy, the process sounds intimidating! Thank you for walking me step by step though! I saw the replacement elastic at Diaper Junction- that would be the same from cottonbabies right? I'll head to Jo-Ann's and grab some elastic! Thank you again!
If you have about an inch of stretch left or so, I'd definitely replace the elastic. Their elastic really is craptastic. Get Stretchrite polybraid elastic if you can find it (Dritz is craptastic too, but similar to the CB one). You can use 3/8 inch elastic but BG uses 1/4 inch.
However, if the inserts is soaked when she's leaking through, you probably do need more absorbancy.
Camilla, DH '06, DS '08, DD '10, DS '12
Don't be intimidated. When I replaced the elastic in my well-loved BGs, it was pretty simple and straightforward.
Locate elastic and cut right by where it's attached (I didn't bother seamripping). Attach elastic on one end by where the old elastic was/is attached (in the seam allowance). Grab a safety pin, pin it through the other end of your new elastic and pull through the casing. Attach on the end where your safety pin comes out (I did some hand sewn stitches). Done.
Camilla, DH '06, DS '08, DD '10, DS '12
geez, cutting the elastics!! why didn't i do that!? could have saved so much time. sitting there slowly and carefully seamripping i managed to stab myself a few times
I don't get 'drunk' I get less classy and more fun

I have a Java web application at my work and I'd like simplify how we deploy to our DEV, QA, and PROD environments.
The application reads in a series of properties at startup, and the properties files are different for dev, qa, and prod. Whenever I want to deploy to a certain environment I drop the environment-specific properties file into my app folder, build the war, and then deploy it to one of the three tomcat 5.5 servers.
What I would like to do is have to have a single .war that has the properties for all environments, and have the app interrogate the webserver during the init process to figure out which environment the app is in, and hence which properties to load. Is there an easy way (or, failing that, a standard way) to do that?

|Growth patterns of a proximal terrigenous margin offshore the Guadalfeo River, northern Alboran Sea (SW Mediterranean Sea): glacio-eustatic control and disturbing tectonic factors

|Marine Geophysical Researches 29(3): 195-216 (2008)
|The shelf-upper slope stratigraphy offshore and around the Guadalfeo River on the northern continental margin of the Alboran Sea, Western Mediterranean Basin, has been defined through the interpretation of a grid of Sparker seismic profiles. We tried to identify evolutionary trends in shelf growth, as well as to determine the regional/local factors that may modify the influence of glacio-eustatic fluctuations. Four major depositional sequences are identified in the sedimentary record by a detailed seismic interpretation, which defines three significant intervals of shelf-upper slope progradation, dominated by deposition of shelf-margin wedges, which resulted in uniform patterns of shelf-margin growth in response to significant sea-level falls. In contrast, the record of transgressive intervals is more variable, mainly as the result of distinct patterns of regressive-to-transgressive transitions. Major progradational wedges are internally composed of seaward-prograding, landward-thinning wedges, interpreted to represent shelf-margin deltaic deposits. In contrast, the last aggradational interval is composed of shelf-prograding wedges that show distinct characteristics, in terms of seismic facies, morphology and distribution when compared with previous shelf-margin wedges. These shelf wedges are thought to represent the particular case of Regressive Systems or Shelf Margin Systems Tracts, and their development seems to be controlled by a drastic change in main depocenter location, which moved from the upper slope to the shelf during the Pleistocene. The stacking pattern of seismic units, the shallowness of the acoustic basement and the migration of the shelf break are used to infer spatial and temporal changes in tectonic subsidence-uplift rates, which interact with low-order glacio-eustatic changes. For much of the Pliocene-Quaternary, uplifted sectors alternated laterally with sectors experiencing more subsidence. Subsequently, a significant change from lateral outgrowth to vertical accretion is recognised. This stratigraphic change could be related to the combined influence of increased subsidence rates on the shelf and the onset of higher-frequency glacio-eustatic cyclicity after the Mid Pleistocene Revolution that occurred around 1 Ma.

Convicted killersays he's changedMay 06,2014
Killer says he's changed
BRATTLEBORO — A man who fatally shot his foster mother to death in 2000 in their West Burke home and served more than a decade in prison says he is now focused on being a contributing member of the community.
Scott Favreau was released from prison in April 2013 and is living in Brattleboro on furlough.
"What I did was horrible, but I'm not that person anymore. I've done a lot of things to change that," said Favreau, now 31. "I made a mistake. I'll move forward and do the best I can."
Favreau works at a local business and recently moved in with his girlfriend and her 7-year-old son.
Favreau pleaded guilty in 2001 to second-degree murder in the shooting of Vicki Campbell-Beer, a Lyndon teacher. He was 17 at the time and had been taken in by her as a foster child.
He was sentenced to 17 years to life in prison. He is out of prison on furlough, which means if he violates the conditions of his release he can be returned to prison with few formalities.
"It's up to him to continue to take responsibility and really attempt to make amends for his actions now that he is in the community," Favreau's probation and parole officer Melissa Barton told the Brattleboro Reformer.
Campbell-Beer's family declined to comment.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
In another twist in the growing family feud, three children of famed fantasy and comic artist Frank Frazetta have sued their brother to prevent him from selling or reproducing their father's artwork and claiming to be his authorized representative.
In the lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Frazetta Properties — now managed by siblings Heidi Grabin, Holly Frazetta Taylor and William Frazetta — accuses Alfonso Frank Frazetta of using his Frazetta Art Gallery website to sell lithographs, books, clothing, jewelry, statues, "so-called Masters Collection" reproductions and other items in violation Frank Frazetta's trademarks and copyrights.
Alfonso, known as Frank Frazetta Jr., is the son arrested in December after he allegedly used a backhoe to break into his father's museum in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, to steal 90 paintings worth about $20 million. He's charged with burglary, criminal trespass and theft.
The incident cast a spotlight on a family fight that reportedly began in July 2009 after the death of Frank Sr.'s wife Eleanor "Ellie" Frazetta, who had long run her husband's business.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for trademark and copyright infringement, counterfeiting, breach of contract, unjust enrichment and false designation of origin.
In addition to the copyright claims, Frazetta Properties asserts that Frank Jr. is using the trademarked "stylized Frazetta signature" without authorization. It's noted that while the website offers a service allowing customers to have items signed by the 81-year-old Frazetta for $250, "Mr. Frazetta has not signed any such items for customers since at least July of 2009."
Frank Jr. also is accused of making unauthorized commercial use of the Death Dealer, and misrepresenting himself as the "authorized representative" of Frank Sr. when a life-size statue of the character was commissioned and erected in September 2009 at Ft. Hood, Texas.
The lawsuit also disputes the authenticity of an agreement that Frank Jr. allegedly made in 2000 with his father and mother that supposedly granted him the authority to represent Frazetta Properties.
But even if the agreement were valid, the plaintiffs allege, it was breached because Frank Sr. hasn't been paid royalties on any of the sales since July 2009. Further, a Jan. 28, 2010, cease-and-desist letter notified Frank Jr. that he isn't authorized to sell or license Frank Frazetta original art, prints or related merchandise.
This right here? A perfect display of an excellent reason never to have children.
Also, "Kids" from the Popeye movie:
So is this the death of Image's Frazetta Comics line? Because I'm pretty sure they did most of their dealing with Frank, Jr.
March 16, 2010
Frank Frazetta is a visionary painter. I grew up reading those scfi novels because his work was used for their covers. It is sad to think in the twilight of his life, his family would be tore apart by his son's avarice.
That aside, a Frank Frazetta painting reproduced results in reproductions. Lithographs, as an artist who creates them and as a scholar who documents with authority, are original works of visual art just like Frank Frazetta's paintings.
In other words, Frank Frazetta reproductions are -not- lithographs.
Therefore, the misrepresentation, with or without intent, of reproductions of Frank Frazetta's paintings as lithographs, is troubling since it undermines his legacy and poisons the marketplace against legitimate artists who create lithographs, much less those who sell fully disclosed reproductions.
You see, lithographs versus reproductions are not interchangeable, much less the same. Under U.S. Customs Informed Compliance May 2006, lithographs "must be wholly executed by hand by the artist" and "excludes any mechanical and photomechanical processes."
In lay terms, notice in a so-called lithograph from a painting, a {reproduced} signature in the image and usually an artist pencil/pen signature below. When a painting with a signature is reproduced, it reproduces the signature (obviously). So, when the artist signs the resulting reproductions, you end up with what looks like two signatures (once again one reproduced in the image and a second usually below in pencil/pen).
It is a dead giveaway that it is a reproduction. Why sign twice? (Of course one is actually reproduced.)
Finally, these legal issues surrounding his family's avarice may be resolved but the continued misrepresentation of reproductions of Frank Frazetta's paintings as original works of visual art ie., lithographs may eventually undermine his legacy and bring in serious questions of law to those who would profit at the consumer's expense and unfairly compete against artists in the marketplace.
In closing, with full and honest disclosure to Frank Frazetta reproductions as reproductions, the consumer might be able to give informed consent on whether to purchase one or not and with that kind of transparency, I wish Frank Frazetta and his family harmony and much success.

In my opinion, most of the Frazetta autographs/signatures over the past ten years have been done by Frank Jr.. There is a marked difference, even accounting for the strokes, they are the signatures of someone other than Frank Sr. I also find it sad that various individuals have taken advantage of the Frazettas' over the years, including certain "authorities" who used friendship for financial gain and a recent business agreement in which many originals have suddenly popped up in the collections of so-called "business partners".
I've been noticing that art has been showing up in certain collections as well, and it seems an odd coincidence. Only know what has been said by Frank in documentaries and in print and what is going on seems to be the exact opposite of Frank's public statements regarding his originals. Don't know anyone involved personally but it just reeks of the same old story regarding the assets of elderly parents I see and hear play out over and over again. Elderly people need better protection from family and other people who seek to gain by hurting them. Reading the above article and the one attached is heartbreaking.
Gary Arseneau-
Very interesting post about lithography but I'm lost as to how it relates to Frazetta. The 'Masters' Reproductions on his site are not referred to as lithographs and neither are the prints. They have a few lithographs available from long ago, are you suggesting that those are not legitimate?
Charlie C…
Sorry. No one cares that you are a lithography scholar. You sound like you are living in the wrong era.
"Poster"…"print"…"lithograph." We all know it is not an original painting. The term lithograph has been mis-used for over 150 years.

Here is a prime example of a reproductions of Frank Frazetta's paintings being misrepresented, with or without intent, by "Live Auctioneers" as an original work of visual art ie., lithograph:
Lot 814
Frank Frazetta Signed & Numbered
ARTIST: Frank Frazetta
TITLE: Countess
MEDIUM: Lithograph
SIGNED: Ink Signed – Lower Right
NUMBERED: Numbered in Ink from an edition of 500 pieces – Lower Right
DIMENSIONS:25 X 31 in. (paper), 39 X 38 in. (framed)
CONDITION: Excellent Condition, not examined outside of the frame.
This piece can be seen on the internet for $5500.00.
An appraisal for this piece, by a certified independant appraiser from the International Fine Art Appraisers Association (IFAA), is available for an additional $50.00.
The link is: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/1218048
This is a non-disclosed reproduction/poster.
The internet is flooded with these non-disclosed reproduction/posters of Frazetta's paintings being misrepresented as original works of visual ie., lithographs which are no different than any other original works of visual art such as a painting. In other words, if the artist created it, it is an original. If someone reproduces the artist's work, at best, they're reproductions.
Remember, lithographs versus reproductions are not interchangeable, much less the same.
Would you pay $5,500 for a poster?
Buyer beware.

Did Frazetta actually make any lithographs at any point? Is that from the same run Frazetta store sells as a lithograph or did an individual just have a posted signed and misrepresented it ?
March 31, 2010
As far as an publication about Frank Frazetta that I have seen, he is a referred to as a -painter-. A very accomplished one at that. If Frank Frazetta created any lithographs, and I believe he was certainly capable of doing so, thats sort of labor intensive creative medium would have most certainly been disclosed by Frank Frazetta himself.
No one I know who draws on a stone, plate or mylar, chemically prepares that image for printing, laboriously prints that edition of original lithographs, and subsequently signs and numbers their edition of original works of art ie., lithographs would not want the public, much less patron, not appreciate how they created it.
That doesn't even take into account, if an artist creates a color lithograph (multi-color means multi-images drawn on stone, plate or mylar by the artist) and/or hand-paints and/or combines with other mediums their original works of visual art a.k.a. lithographs.
With the abuse of terminology in the marketplace, any artist, who creates original original works of visual art in lithography, etching and the like, cannot afford not to belabor their creative processes. Otherwise the public will dismiss their accomplishments as nothing more than copies.
Unfortunately, as a creator of over 10,000 lithographs, I speak from experience.
Now as for so-called -Frazetta lithographs-, if one Googles -Frank Frazetta- and -lithographs-, one will find hundreds of more websites selling reproductions of Frank Frazetta's paintings misrepresented as original works of visual art ie., lithographs.
Remember, paintings reproduced results in reproductions, not lithographs. Lithographs would -never- be trivialized as copies of anything, much less a Frank Frazetta painting.
If the unsuspecting patron only knew they were paying hundreds of dollars for nothing more than a poster?
This misrepresentation poisons, with or without intent, the marketplace against legitimate artists who create and sell their lithographs, not mention those who sell fully disclosed reproductions.
In closing, there are many more than I who would argue, have argued and will continue to argue that -lithographs- are copies and/or their copies are lithographs. Respectfully, they could not be more misinformed. To them and those who would believe them, I cite U.S. Customs Informed Compliance Publication, May 2006 that ,in part, states: "lithographs must be wholly executed by hand by the artist and excludes any mechanical and photomechanical processes."
I hope this addressing some of your questions.

I realize I enter into this discussion very late compared to the previous posts but I will anyway. Just reading the
post regarding lithograghs and the history behind them is enough to confuse people and gives me a headache.
I will attempt to present a few facts to people regarding Frank Frazetta and lithographs. There were in fact
lithographs made of Frazetta paintings (the gentleman is correct when he said the original Frazetta signature
is reproduced that you see on the original oil paintings, he is also correct when he says the artist then signs and
numbers the lithograph, this is Frank's original signature) I refer to them as lithographs because that's how Ellie
Frazetta refered to them when I bought them from her. I also believe this is how the L. Ron Hubbard people
refered to them when they were sold in editions limited to 500. Frank was commisioned to do paintings, some
of which graced the covers of the L.Ron Hubbard book series "Writers of the Future", "Dream Flight" was one.
A company affliated with L. Ron Hubbard, which I believe was called Author Services then sold lithographs of the paintings they commisioned Frank to do. Frank signed and numbered all 500 and "The Countess: did in fact
list with an original price of $5,000.00 as I believe several others did. Somewhere I have an original brochure showing these for sale.Do not confuse these lithographs with paper posters of his work. For one thing they are
much larger than the paper posters/prints. They are very thick and have a plastic feel to them with an almost
mettalic like finish and are of very high quality, as close to the original as you can get. They were not produced
or signed by Frank until he approved of them, then the run began. There were also Artist Proofs made and were
sold by Ellie Frazetta, most of these were numbered and signed by Frank in editions of 40, I own some of these.
I am glad that I have credit card receipts and letters from Ellie Frazetta discussing items I bought from her because there are lithographs out there on the internet that are simply not "the real McCoy". I don't know how much my Artist Proof lithographs are worth but I know there are Frazetta fans out there somewhere in the world
who would like to get their hands on one. In closing I would like to mention that the "Masters reproductions" were simply the posters sold at the museum in a fancy frame, I don't know anything about the signatures on these but they were certainly not the $5,000.00 lithographs, I believe they sold for about $300 – $400.00
Yours Truly,
Rick Watson

New poison from G. Rap's Riches, Royalty, Respect, in stores now.
Don't know what y'alls are talking about G Rap is still running laps around most of these corny kids and what does age gotta do with anything anyway!?! I hate this mentality in the Hip Hop community that rapping is something only kids and people in their twenties can do, GTFOH!!! I for one rather listen to whomever, old or young, that makes great music! This age limit thing is ridiculous! Guess someone should go tell Mick Jagger or Pete Townsend to hang it up because they are too old!?! Weak Hip Hop community real weak! Think it has a lot to do with the immaturity and ignorance that is so prevalent in the Hip Hop world…
I think comparing rock and roll to hip hop isn't really going to work… too different.
Its not about the old guy getting laughed at cause he rhymes… more like seeing an old nobody on the steps of a ghetto smoking weed, missing most of his teeth and having a gold chain around their neck… pathetic.
Hip hop has a problem with subject matter, as the tracks get old quick and only a few survive the test of time. This is not the case with most of rock n roll.
Nobody cares if you want, have money or run the block. It's understandable at the age of 20.. but at 50… if you're still rhyming about it than you certainly aint running shit.
