Suntech Announces Preliminary Financial Results For The Second Quarter Of 2012
"While the current climate is very challenging for solar manufacturers, there has never been a better time to be a solar customer and we are optimistic about the long-term growth potential of the solar industry. With roughly seven gigawatts deployed in more than 80 countries, Suntech has the right experience, scale, and people to lead the industry through the current instability," added Mr. King.
Suntech expects shipments of PV products in the third quarter of 2012 to be relatively flat with the second quarter of 2012. The gross margin in the third quarter of 2012 is expected to be in the low single digits. Suntech now expects 2012 annual PV shipments to be in the range of 1.8GW to 2.0GW, compared to previous guidance of 2.1GW to 2.5GW.
Mr. King noted, "We are continuing to pursue a number of options to refinance our 2013 convertible notes and intend to address this issue in the near future. In addition, we are making good progress with our due diligence of GSF assets and we will provide an update when we have new developments."
The estimates presented in this press release are preliminary, unaudited and subject to further adjustments. The actual results could turn out to be higher or lower. In July, Suntech announced that it is conducting an investigation into a security interest the Company received in connection with its investment in Global Solar Fund, S.C.A., Sicar. Suntech is currently assessing the potential impact of the GSF investigation and its dispute with a supplier on its consolidated financial statements and is not in a position to provide additional financial data at this time. The Company intends to publish its consolidated financial statements once the financial assessment is complete later in 2012 and will continue to inform investors of any material developments in a timely manner.

Clear Lake still waiting for nesting Ospreys to return
Wednesday, 13 March 2013 14:27
Statewide re-population efforts are taking off
by Marianne Morf
"If you build it, they will come."
That's what they said about Iowa's Field of Dreams. But seven years after nesting poles were readied to attract ospreys, Clear Lake is still waiting to attract its first nesting pair.
"The volunteer support and stewardship of Ospreys released at Clear Lake was phenomenal," said Pat Schlarbaum of the Department of Natural Resources wildlife diversity program. "The patience of your Osprey volunteers is being tested, but the future bodes well for nesting Ospreys at Clear Lake."

Siege of the City of Mexico

Tucked inside a cozy studio within InStyle Salon & Spa Suites, Face Value Skin Spa & Wax Studio whisks male and female clients into a realm of relaxation. Here, a team of talented aestheticians help clients achieve states of beautified Zen through custom-blend Bioelements facials, Brazilian waxing for men and women, as well as speed waxing and eyebrow design. They also brandish Bioelements products while divvying out a dozen different facials that range from a deep-cleansing signature treatment to a potent acne-clearing facial laden with antioxidants. The crew also attacks hirsute skin, removing hair from backs, chests, and faces with Cirepil wax, or wielding light-based hair-removal techniques to deliver a more permanent punch and thwart hair regrowth across the body.
Executive Tans' friendly, Smart Tan–certified staff guides customers through six different levels of tanning beds seven days a week. From basic 15-minute systems to advanced high-pressure tanners, each bed is located in a room that's also equipped with satellite radio. Instead of exposing their skin to UV rays or waiting for a bear hug from King Midas, customers can turn to a trained technician for a sunless spray tan. Using a fast-acting formula that simultaneously firms up skin thanks to an antioxidant-packed solution, bronzing levels can be customized for each individual's skin tone.
At Creative Nails Too, courteous nail technicians add a little dazzle to hands and feet. Once all 20 fingers and toes have been trimmed and filed, technicians can emboss them in glossy no-chip polishes or carefully paint on intricate designs such as snowflakes or tiny portraits of your favorite Baldwin brother. Once toes and fingers have been freshened up, eyebrow and lip waxes also can be booked to help ensure clients leave with a fresh face to match.
Each location offers the regenerative properties of various varieties of massage that make a soul vessel feel springtime fresh. Of your 90-minute massage session, 10 minutes are set aside for dressing time and a consultation with your therapist to ensure your massage is customized for you.
As a physical therapist with his own private practice, Hand & Stone founder and chief operating officer John Marco made sure that he kept abreast of the rapidly growing health and wellness industry. After a period of careful research and planning, John decided to create a spa based around convenience and affordability?Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa.
Since its launch, Hand & Stone has expanded to more than 20 states. The spa?s core concept is to offer massage, facial, and hair-removal services performed by licensed, certified, or registered professionals and offered at convenient times, seven days a week. Each location adheres to a traditional spa aesthetic with soft lighting, heated treatment tables, and plush linens.
Alicja and Haley want you to have fun in their salon??they set the tone on their website by introducing themselves with personal tidbits such as "admitted shopaholic" and "Frank Sinatra fan." They aim to be approachable to all clients, welcoming adults, teens, and kids alike with a selection of hair services that includes cut and color. Beauty Island Salon & Spa also has private treatment rooms, where aestheticians perform waxing and facials with spa-like touches such as warmed hand mitts. Back in the salon, the mani-pedis also incorporate luxurious extras: nail technicians exfoliate appendages to the elbow and knee, and mix custom foot baths with a choice of essential oil.

Incipio shows off their next generation Offgrid Pro battery case for iPhone
Live at CES 2012, accessory maker Incipio shows us their next-generation Offgrid Pro case for iPhone. The big difference with the Offgrid Pro is that it has user-swappable batteries so that if you're going to be away from power for a really long time, you can back just as many 1700mAh cartridges as you need.
The Offgrid Pro will be available "soon", and will ship with two batteries, the charger, the case, and the band.

Three Bears in A Boat
Three bear siblings break their mother's favorite blue seashell, and rather than tell her, they decide to set out in their sailboat to find her a new one. On their quest they encounter salty sailors, strange new islands, huge whales, and vast seas but no blue seashells. When a treacherous storm suddenly blows in, the three bears find themselves tossed about in their little boat, far from Mama. What will become of their search, and what will it take to bring them safely home?
This read aloud shares its best qualities with classic picture books: breath-taking illustrations, epic adventure, and a subtle message about taking responsibility for your actions.
Baker & Taylor
A tale inspired by Little Bear and Where the Wild Things Are follows the adventures of three bear siblings who embark on a high-seas quest to replace their mother's broken seashell. By the illustrator of the best-selling Ladybug Girl series.
& Taylor
Afraid to face their mother after breaking her beautiful blue seashell, three bears set out on an high seas adventure to try to find a replacement.
Community Activity
Add a CommentAfter accidentally breaking their Mama's beloved blue seashell, three bear siblings named Dash, Charlie, and Theo sail away in search of a replacement. Although they meet other bears in boats, explore an island, encounter enormous whales, and get caught in a sudden storm, finding another blue shell proves more difficult than they expected. Using the exhilarating sweep of the ocean as a backdrop, Three Bears in a Boat combines visual drama with gentle humour to create a high-seas adventure -- one with a reassuring ending that may remind readers of Maurice Sendak's classic Where the Wild Things Are.
Picture books newsletter July 2014
Even if a child has never set so much as a sandy toe in the waters of a lake, river, or ocean, there's something compelling in Soman's voyage by sea. The thrill of setting out on your own with friends/siblings along for company is inherently enticing. Plug in adventure and an escape from parental oversight and you've got yourself a snazzy little number. David Soman isn't afraid to get pretty. His ocean scenes are some of the best I've ever seen in a picture book, and his story holds up in the end. If you're looking for a gift book, a bedtime book, or just something uniquely attractive to the eye, seek ye just three little bears. Charm incarnate.
Add Age SuitabilitySummary
Add a SummaryIt wasn't their best idea. But Dash, Theo, and Charlie were so sure they'd be able to reach that distant jar of honey their mama put out of grasp on the mantle shelf. Unfortunately in their bid for sweets they accidentally destroy their mother's lovely blue seashell. The solution? If they can set out across the sea in their little boat and find a replacement seashell, maybe their mother won't even notice the switch. So away they go, but after asking for advice it seems the only place to find such a shell is on an island shaped like a lumpy hat. As one old sea salt advises them, "Just look the right place." Thus begins a mini epic, as the bears encounter creatures, storms, and even dark caves in their quest for the near impossible.

Homestuck? More like homeSUCK. (An elaboration)At the risk of my watchers looking down on me, I've decided to express my distaste for homestuck.It seems like everyone either, 1) Likes the fandom (art) of homestuck, but doesn't actually like homestuck itself, OR 2) Likes homestuck but can't stand the fandom surrounding it.I, personally, don't appreciate either.I find homestuck to be an incredibly mediocre...webcomic? that got really really blown up for whatever reason and now I cannot escape it. It's everywhere online. The overhype is oozing into every crevice of the internet like a mildly warm combination of masturbation-sweat and zit-puss.

IP confusionIt's sad to see people fighting about intellectual property rights when they apparently have no clue what those are, how they work and what is allowed (and not).Prime example: http://boltstrueno1fanever.deviantart.com/art/Onyx-Forepaw-Feb-2012-Ref-286737985 vs. http://yasuoxingxing.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4vcimaObviously the latter is similar to the first.The question is: is this allowed?To answer that question, it is important to understand what rules apply and what intellectual property (IP) is.There are three different kinds of IP that can apply here:1. CopyrightAs the name hints this is the right to make copies of a work. It does not protect ideas, only the actual recorded work - artwork, documents, music etc.This means that if someone copies your art (by directly copying it, by tracing it or otherwise adapting your work) you can certainly take action, but there is little you can do to prevent someone else creating their own
PE - The Beef with BasesWelcome to the Beef with Bases article. This may get a little controversial, so put on your heavy duty hats!By now, we should all know what a base is. But just for a refresher - A base is a bald, naked figure for people to 'doll' clothes onto. Lately, more people have been making animal bases as well. Some argue that since they can't be dressed up, they aren't proper bases. But a base is a vague term to begin with. Why do so many people make bases? What's the allure? Many people just start doodling and end up with a body they don't plan on finishing. So why let it go to waste? They fix it up a bit and let other people use it, so maybe others will find inspiration where theirs left off. Other times people are inspired by a pose, and want to practice their anatomy and draw the body. Sometimes people even have an idea in mind - say... a big set of mermaid poses! And more frequently, people see a piece of art t

Sorry to bother you...Hello all,I thought I'd take a moment today to write a journal which is probably long overdue. I believe there is a common misconception floating around that CVs are so busy, that when you send us DD Suggestions, or other messages, you are being a bother. Quite regularly the DD Suggestions I receive start with something along the lines of "I am sorry to bother you..." or "I know you are busy but.." I'd like to assure you all that no suggestions you send, or any other type of contact made with me (or any other CV for that matter) is something to feel sorry or bad about (unless you are legitimately harassing us or something). I've often heard community members talk about how many notes CVs get daily (often this number appears to be near 100) and I feel the need to say that this is very far from the truth. On average I receive maybe 5 notes a day. On a slow day I may not get any at all and on a busy day I may get up to 10. While I can not speak
Jealousy on deviantART......Is a dangerous, dangerous thing. And really, it's not worth it I think I've finally realized why I was in that art slump for so long, and only drawing portraits. Because, like every other artist on deviantART I aspired to be recognized for my art-- not for fanart, but for my art. And since headshots were so much easier to draw than full bodies and because they always seemed to get more recognition than artworks that I actually spent time on, I got into drawing them more often. Until sooner rather than later, I just lost inspiration to draw full bodies.Then things get worse when I started comparing my work to other artists. I don't know HOW many times I've encouraged other artists to do art for themselves and never compare their art to others. But for the longest time, I was doing it without even realizing it! Always obsessing over the front page, comparing my work to other artist's-- it's especially worse when you see a younger artist getting more recognition than you; but m

Its an attitude where people feel that you owe them something for no particular reason other than your work is gaining exposure?

Homophobic #ToMyUnbornChild tweets turned into PSACharlotte Moore (Cavatica) from Raleigh, North Carolina has created a PSA against homophobia after the Twitter hashtag #ToMyUnbornChild attracted homophobes to publicly announce that they would murder their child if he or she was gay.#ToMyUnbornChild became a trending topic on Twitter a few weeks ago, and while most people used it to write loving tweets to their future children, some homophobes decided to do just the opposite.@Homophobes, a Twitter account that retweets homophobes to expose their ignorance, published an article of 100 extremely homophobic tweets, which gained quite a bit of attention around the web.Charlotte Moore was inspired, and decided to write and direct a PSA using the tweets. The video was produced by Brian Lee and Nick Heim. From the video's d
CEA Blog: Mature ContentHey guys, today I want to talk about Mature Content on deviantART and hopefully clear up some misconceptions that exist around it. For those of you eager to look at some boobs and hot male torsos, I'm afraid I won't be including any here .How the mature content filter worksAll members over the age of 18 can choose to enable or disable the mature content filter to suit their needs. All members with a registered date of birth under the age of 18 have the mature content filter locked on and can not disable it. All logged out visitors have the mature content filter enabled and can not disable it.The mature content filter is split in to two types, strict and warning. The strict filter is completely voluntary and prevents any deviant with the mature content filter on from accessing the work. The general or warning filter is the standard mature content tag and will remove the image from immediate view when browsing and place an warning page on the devi
PE DD Week: Why did an icon get a DD?Why did an icon get a DD?Daily deviations tend to be a controversial topic within the community and whether or not a DD is worthy of the feature is, as such, often discussed.As a CV for Icons & Handhelds I often find it interesting to read these discussions, since that way I can see what the community expects of the features, but the recent negativity on the Icons & Handhelds DDs is something I would like to address, which is why I'm thankful I'm given this opportunity during the Daily Deviation PE-week. I will try to explain why I think icons and handhelds are worthy of the feature and why they may be dismissed just a bit too quickly.Let's begin at the beginning.When deviantART first started, it was a site that mainly geared towards customization. Be it wallpapers or icons, if you take a look at some of the first DDs. So how come there'
PE: Daily Deviations - The Myth and the LegendDaily Deviations, or DDs . . . for some deviants, receiving one is the epitome of awesomesauce in the deviantART world. For others, they are a nice way to show off the work of lesser-known artists. Still others treat them as a special way to bring attention to great art that exemplifies works being done by a particular gallery or community.Perhaps because there are so many different ways of conceptualizing DDs, there are also many myths and misconceptions. I would like to address some of those myths by responding to the ones most frequently heard. Please note that these opinions are mine and reflect my experiences with the photomanipulation community, but perhaps they will be informative nevertheless.Myth 1: DDs should always be perfect.To many of us, the ideal Daily Deviation goes to an artist with amazing talent whose work draws you in and makes you think, "Wow, everyone needs to see this!" A DD should move you, inspire you, and provoke you to think, b
A Note on Daily Deviation FeaturesAt ten features into my tenure as Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal Photography I am noticing a certain trend in response to abstract and surreal Daily Deviations. I shall address some of the recurring themes here, and hopefully answer some questions along the way. At this point I would like to mention that I am talking about a small and vocal minority, and I sincerely thank the overwhelming majority for supporting the featured artists and their work. You're what makes this site such a great community.With that said, let's get to the troublesome themes I am coming across.The "This is crap!" ArgumentAs an observer and a critic, you're entitled to think that something isn't very good. However, exclaiming as such on the comments of a piece of work that an artist has spent time and energy creating is not only counter-productive, but rude and insulting, especially if it's not followed up with some advice about how you think they could make their
PE: Tolerance Towards Daily DeviationsIf you're like me, one of the first things you do every morning is turn on the computer to check the DDs for the day, if you make this a habit sooner or later you'll see something featured that you won't like at all, making you spill your morning coffee all over the screen.Oh the crime! That poor coffee going to waste.Before you hit the Caps Lock button and begin an essay about the drop of quality of DDs, stop. Take a deep breath, maybe walk around for a bit to cool down, and think about what you're going to do. To begin with, complaining about the DD leaving a comment is extremely disrespectful for the artist because most of the time, they didn't even ask to be featured. Instead, take a moment to consider why was it picked, DDs are chosen for far more than just being visually attractive, as the article Daily Deviations - The Myth and the Legend explained; we often look f

I absolutely love this product! It is seriously holy grail material to me. I know people talk about it being chalky and powdery, but I definitely do not have those problems. It does have some fallout, but it depends what kind of brush you use. I use a dense blush brush and have no problems with fallout. The color honestly last me all through the day. I go to school and have personal fitness, where I sweat like crazy. We run bleachers and I still have this blush on at the end of the day. The color goes so well with my medium skin tone and it can be built up for a more intense pink. It's so bright and gorgeous that I couldn't go without it.
There is NO WAY IN HELL THIS IS EVEN CLOSE TO BOBBI BROWN'S PALE PINK! I have pale pink and it's ridiculous how anyone could even fathom comparing the two! Just because it's bright in the pan alike- doesn't mean it's comaprable or a dupe! Wow, first of all you get what you pay for- this blush in any color is CHALKY as hell..I mean really???
Pure rubbish. If you want cheap, stick to something like Revlon or Maybelline!
The FALLOUT is like crazy! Pigmentation sandy not smooth. I absolutely HATE this product.
Tried to give this away but just threw it in the trash. Waste of a dollar- seriously the plastic container it's in is worth more than this rubbish!

This is a lovely blush, and slightly more yellow toned version of Nars Gaiety. If you're not comfortable spending over $20 on Gaiety or you're worried you wouldn't like it or get the use out of it, I recommend this. It'll still give you that pop of bright pink that you'll want in a more comfortable expendable price range. Also, Gaiety can come across as extremely chalky on deeper skin tones due to it's paleness, I find this to be more flattering due to the yellow in it and not nearly as chalky in appearance when applied.
This is by far the best blush! The first time i used it i kinda looked like a clown. Lol a little goes a long way light skinned girls. The best way to apply this is with a stipple brush or powder brush. I use lancome brushes (:

This is a gorgeous pink blush. For the longest time I thought I could never wear bubblegum pink blushes, but after a brave try with this, I was in love. I wore this blush nonstop for almost a month because this is everything I was from a blush-- natural healthy pink flush that instantly brightens my face. It is a gorgeous matte bubblegum pink that honestly looks neither cool nor warm, so anyone can really pull this off. And the the price, one could never go wrong. Good job ELF! :)

I was really hesitant to buy this at first. A fellow makeup artist recommended it me but when I saw it in the package I thought it looked to bright, expecially for a red-head. However, since the product was only $3.00 I decided there wasnt' much to lose and purchased the blush. OH boy, am I glad I did. This is a stunning color! The blush gives a soft pink flush to the cheeks without being to overpowering and looks amazing! I am so glad I decided to take a chance. The price is astonishing and worth every penny and more. I now recommend this to all my friends and clients as well and have purchased it to keep in my makeup case as well as my persoanl collection.

I always went for really soft, light blushes, until I read the reviews for this one and thought I'd give it a try. What a lovely product.
I use the big e.l.f. stipple brush to apply it, and I get the prettiest pink flush. It's scary in the package but don't let that stop you! I'm relatively fair and it looks so pretty on my skin when I apply it this way.
It's only $3, the packaging is sturdy and expensive-looking, and the product is great. Can't say enough good things about this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Simply awesome. I have a very similar color from Lorac, but that one has shimmer. I love that this is matte and the color pops without looking obnoxious. It goes on sheer, but still has nice payoff. Don't be afraid, try it especially if you have olive skin. It's a glow-from-within look.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was getting tired of using the same colors over and over again and decided to go ahead and try this based on such good ratings and reviews here. I am not disappointed! Yes, the color is very intimidating, but just like everyone else says...it's so beautiful on! It's very pretty on its own, or paired with a light bronzer. So happy that I took a chance on it, and for $3.00 you certainly can't go wrong!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Such a beautiful color! I was terrified of the color but it goes on so beautiful. It is a little chalky and you'll have to apply more than you would with most blushes, but for the price I don't think that's a problem. The color is a great day to day for my pale skin and it always makes me look awake and healthy.

Joel Madden on Marijuana Bust: 'I Hope I Didn't Cause Too Much Drama'
The Good Charlotte frontman landed in hot water after police found a small amount of marijuana in his hotel room at the Star Sydney Casino & Hotel in Sydney, Australia, where he has been living while appearing on an iteration of The Voice.
But before the situation could spiral too far, Madden, 34, confronted the issue head on in a post on his Tumblr page:
Madden's message came after the Sydney Morning Herald reported that the rocker was on hand when police searched his room, after which he was asked to vacate immediately.
It seems Madden — who is married to fashion maven Nicole Richie, with whom he has two children — was let off with a mere warning because he had less than five grams of green.
Seems only right since Rihanna can get away with lighting up all over social media.

A striking, 400-year-old higgledy-piggledy pub with a classic interior of flagstone floor, low beams and blazing fire in the inglenook, The Chequers Inn is run by Master Chef Tim Neal, also the holder of an AA Rosette. The bar offers Harvey's Sussex and Long Man Best Bitter on tap and an impressive wine list to partner the extensive bar menu (home-made sausages and mash; roast beef baguette; steak and chips), which may also be eaten in the inn's restaurant. Tim delights in using only the best local produce, often sourcing seasonal wild mushrooms and even truffles from the generous woodlands near the hamlet of Rowhook. From the restaurant menu (also served in the bar), begin with risotto of king prawns, followed perhaps by crispy confit duck on beer mustard mashed potatoes, buttered Savoy cabbage and thyme jus; or blue cheese and leeks tartlet with spinach, asparagus and chive butter sauce.

IV: 1987 Clubsport
1987 911 Clubsport: This was the time Porsche discovered that less could be more - as in more money for less weight and less equipment. The 1987-89 Clubsport cost about five percent more than the standard coupe, which was not exactly lavishly equipped, either. Missing from the Clubsport (or CS) were such items as rear seats, door trim, a parcel shelf, insulation, electronic heater controls, the passenger's sun visor, a radio, a glove-box lid, power windows, and foglamps, netting a savings of 220 pounds. While the engine delivered a nominally unchanged 217 hp, lighter intake valves pushed the rev limit from 6570 to 6840 rpm. Together, these measures knocked 0.4 second off the 0-to-62-mph acceleration time. Even more significant was the urgent kick-in-the-butt midrange punch, the sharper handling due to a variety of suspension tweaks, and the enhanced directional stability thanks to the whale-tail rear spoiler. Despite a fetching delete-option CS decal that straddled the entire right front fender, Porsche's increasingly comfort- and convenience-hungry clientele failed to see the attraction of the go-faster-by-taking-out-weight concept. In the course of three model years, Porsche sold a mere 339 Clubsport coupes and only a single CS Targa.

1980s TECHTONICS | By Don Sherman
The 911 family expanded with the first convertible in 1983. The 959 Group B concept also debuted with a wealth of technology that would trickle down to regular production models. From this acorn, the 911 family tree's branches eventually sprouted electronically controlled four-wheel drive, twin turbochargers and intercoolers, dual overhead cams, adjustable damping, cast-magnesium center-lock wheels, highly functional aerodynamic appendages, aluminum body components, and a six-speed transmission. A total of 292 examples of the 444-hp wundercar were built; the factory brought a few to the United States for track duty, and gray-market importers courageously sold some for road use. In 1989, a third-generation 911 code-named 964 arrived with air bags and ABS as standard equipment and all-wheel drive as an option.

Paper cups: from hygenic 'Health Kup' to symbol of 20th century waste
The disposable paper cup came to prominence during the 1918 influenza pandemic as a hygienic option to avoid spreading germs at drinking fountains. But now it's come to symbolise everything destructive about 20th century culture, and may itself be tossed on the scrap heap.
At the beginning of the twentieth century advances in medical research were providing the public with a growing awareness of how diseases were transmitted. In America in 1907, a lawyer called Lawrence Luellen was worried that one of the worst culprits in spreading germs was the humble public drinking fountain, many of which were installed in schools, office buildings and railways stations.
Here, a single glass or metal cup might be shared by hundreds of different people. Luellen came up with the idea of a placing a paper cup dispenser beside a water cooler so that the drinking utensil could be thrown away after the water had been drunk.
With the burgeoning fashion for takeaway drinking, it is therefore not surprising to learn that the simple paper cup is responsible for the felling of over 6 million trees a year in America alone.
The cup was a simple thing made from a cylinder of plain paper wrapped around a disc of paper as its bottom. Paraffin, a waxy by-product of petroleum, was used to make the paper waterproof. Evangelical in his drive for disease prevention and backed by businessman Hugh Moore, he formed the Individual Drinking Cup Company of New York and carried out a widespread campaign to educate people on the dangers of sharing drinking vessels.
The idea of using a paper cup quickly gained popularity, especially following the influenza pandemic of 1918 which wiped out an estimated 5 per cent of the world's population, at least 675,000 of them American. Commercial premises ordered the water and cup dispenser in much the same way as water coolers are ordered today. The cup itself was originally marketed as the Health Kup (the cup spelled with a K to inject it with some marketing zip and to indicate that this cup was your friend) although it was renamed the Dixie Cup in 1919 after a popular range of cute dolls. (The origin of the word Dixie is obscure, ranging from a slang term for a ten dollar bill in Louisiana to the common name in the nineteenth century for the Mason-Dixon Line which divided the states that used slaves from those that didn't).
Although the original cup was tiny -- big enough only for a gulp or two of water -- the basic design has changed little since then. The overall shape remained constant whatever the size, with the same rolled lip adding a touch of structural reinforcement as well as making it more pleasant to drink from. Manufactured in several variations, including a double-skinned version that helps insulate hot drinks, it is often thought of as an eco-friendly design due to its paper content. Most cups, however, are lined with either wax or polyethylene which stops the paper from getting soggy but makes it difficult to recycle. With the burgeoning fashion for takeaway drinking, it is therefore not surprising to learn that the simple paper cup is responsible for the felling of over 6 million trees a year in America alone. And while we may well be drinking more hygienically, it's a reminder that the simplest designs can have a huge global impact.
The invention of the Styrofoam cup in 1960s created a new buzz, outdoing the simple paper cup until people caught on that it couldn't be recycled. Scares about Styrofoam's potential link to carcinogens have also caused customers to turn back to the paper cup. In recent years, however, multi-use ceramic, steel and silicone takeaway cups have become popular and it's charming to see how often they replicate the shape of Lawrence Luellen's design of a hundred years ago.
While this humble paper cup stands as a symbol of the historic change in infection awareness, it also heralded a major change in human behaviour: the throwaway culture. With growing environmental concerns, it's interesting to consider whether other disposable items such as razors, cheap pens and even chopsticks will also go the way of the paper cup, being replaced by sturdier, long-lasting, multi-use versions. A kind of circular design evolution, in other words. Who could believe that a simple paper cup might symbolise so much?

That is a lot of trees, but I think it pales by comparison with the numbers felled to make newsprint. If some philanthropist (Gates?) could give away small, folding or 'collapsing'plastic or preferably metal cups like those made for picnics or camping, they might catch on as "Pocket Bottles" and solve the problem.

To put a positive spin on the trees, we could say the use of paper cups caused the planting of 6 million trees, because as we know, paper cups are primarily made from fast growing softwood, and like a field of corn after a harvest, would immediately be replanted. The history of the paper cup, is very interesting and you can see more on The Paper Cup Company web site.

Actually, most recycling creates more pollution through the extra trucks needed to drive around and collect it, extra chemicals required for refining and so on. It is in most cases better just to make new things. One exception is aluminium, which takes about 7 times as much energy to produce per unit mass as iron. We can recycle that- but most of what goes into your recyling bin ends up in the land fill anyway.

@JPC: as explained in the article, paper cups are waxy which makes it more difficult to recycle. Also, production and recycling of cups uses energy and produces carbon emissions. Even though the production of a reusable cup uses some energy, it uses less overall.

6 million trees is a lot and as the other commentators have mentioned we could do well to get rid of newspapers and also regrowing them more quickly. But in my opinion all the plastic bottles and especially the water bottles is more of an issue.
Every time you look at a bottle of water imaging it being 1/4 oil and you will appreciate the impact it is having on our planet and what are we doing about it? Nothing. -

More power to the Greens I say. I'm sick and tired of seeing the concept of a sustainable environment characterised as ridiculous. The Greens are the only political party who put environmental sustainability and a safe climate as a mandatory foundation for a vibrant, sustainable economy. The other parties look at the environment as just another issue to be "balanced" with the economy. What do we say to our children - sorry, we were only able to partly deliver you a decent environment, because we had to consider the shareholders, profits, jobs, the economy.... Sure, the economy is important, but not at the expense of the environment. Let's live off the interest provided by nature and not the capital.

I wonder what resources are wasted by those silly little plastic soya sauce fish that Japanese think are a necessary part of sushi... and how much sea life is killed by eating them as they float around the Pacific.

Oh really? Were choking the fish now too? I thought this was about paper cups?
P.S For your information the soy (in those silly little fish) definitely "IS" a necessary part of sushi in my book ;-)
If paper is an issue get a stainless steel cup you can wash and keep it forever.

I use a KeepCup personally...they have some really great info on their site that tackles this very issue. http://vs.keepcup.com.au/

Paper cups were used by the Chinese in the 2nd Century AD and modern use began 1908, 10 years before the Spanish Flu Pandemic (source Wikipedia)

When I ask Cafe assistants to fill my BYO mug I have always had a positive response. The staff at the Cafes that use paper cups either can't stand the wastage of the paper cups or they only take a few seconds reasoning with to agree with me and prefer to fill my BYO cup. I have managed to use zero paper cups and each time I see one I see Gunns logging one more old growth rainforest tree.

I have a keepcup that I often use but it seems sort of ironic when there is no tea towel in the kitchen at work and I have to use paper towel to dry it. Also rather than paper going to landfill in the case of a paper cup (or being recycled), to wash the reusable cup, you use detergent from a plastic bottle, generally use hot water, that was probably made hot by burning a fossil fuel, then this detergent and water has to get pumped out somewhere. If I am able to use a tea towel, it has to be made some where, the cotton is probably bleached, this bleach ends up somewhere, the tea towel has to be washed periodically, using more detergent and hot water...

The London Metal Exchange's steel contract may need some "fine-tuning" after the possible sale of the exchange is completed, said Martin Abbott, chief executive officer.
"The billet contract as a relatively new contract is under particular scrutiny," Abbott said in an interview in London today. "My guess is that at some point we'll have to do some fine-tuning at least and we'll be ready to do that, but probably not while we're otherwise engaged with the potential transaction. I don't think we need to focus on the billet contract right now."
Steel billet trading on the LME fell 30 percent to 11,307 contracts in May from the year earlier. One contract is 65 metric tons. The contract, introduced in 2008, traded at $400 a ton for a three-month delivery yesterday.
Shareholders of the 135-year-old London exchange are expected to vote on a 1.39 billion pound ($2.2 billion) takeover proposal by Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. at the end of next month.

Stow welcomes the fans and kicks off the game with "play ball!" The Giants won 11-4 to even the series.
Bryan Stow hollered "Play ball!" and the sellout crowd roared.
Months after receiving an $18 million judgment against the Los Angeles Dodgers over his brutal beating in the stadium parking lot, San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow is suing the team again.
Months after receiving an $18 million judgment against the Los Angeles Dodgers over his brutal beating in the stadium parking lot, San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow is suing the team again.
Despite winning a nearly $18-million judgment against the Dodgers and two men who beat their son on opening day 2011, Bryan Stow's parents said the verdict Wednesday doesn't end the family's ordeal.
The nearly $18-million awarded to Giants fan Bryan Stow by a jury on Wednesday was "like a big weight" off the shoulders of his family, his mother said outside court.
A Los Angeles civil jury on Wednesday awarded about $18 million in damages to Bryan Stow, a San Francisco Giants fan who suffered permanent brain damage after a fight with two other fans at a Dodgers Stadium parking lot on Opening Day in 2011.

Jury awards damages of $18 million but clears former owner Frank McCourt in attack that left Bryan Stow brain-damaged and disabled
A jury found in favor of Bryan Stow in the beating of the San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodgers Stadium in 2011. The jury awarded the permanently disabled man about $18 million for lost wages, pain and suffering and medical costs, past and present.
A Los Angeles jury today ruled that the Dodgers are partly liable for the devastating injuries to Giants fan Bryan Stow, who was attacked in a stadium parking lot after an opening day game in 2011, and must pay millions to cover medical bills and other expenses.

The jury tasked with deciding whether the Dodgers and former owner Frank McCourt were responsible for the brutal 2011 beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow told a judge Wednesday that they were deadlocked, but were ordered to continue deliberating.
Jurors tasked with determining whether the Dodgers and former owner Frank McCourt were responsible for San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow's brutal 2011 beating were ordered to resume deliberations Thursday after indicating they were deadlocked in the case.
A Los Angeles jury said Wednesday it was deadlocked over whether the Los Angeles Dodgers organization was responsible for the devastating injuries suffered by a Giants fan beaten during the 2011 home opener at Dodgers Stadium.
What happened to Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium on Opening Day in March 2011, leaving him with lifelong injuries, was either a crime of heated passion that was over in a matter of seconds or a preventable security lapse hours in the making.

Smartphones coming for AT&T's high-speed network
Smartphones from Motorola, HTC, and Samsung will run on AT&T's 4G network, which is due out later this year.
Isaac Brekken/AP
AT&T Inc. says it is on track to start rolling out its next-generation wireless technology in the second half of this year, and the company joined handset makers Wednesday to show off several smart phones that will take advantage of a speedier version of the current network.
AT&T previously said it planned to roll out the next-generation LTE, or Long Term Evolution, technology this year. But the head of AT&T's consumer business, Ralph De La Vega, had not narrowed it down to the second half until Wednesday. The company also said it expects to finish the new network by the end of 2013, sooner than it had expected.
LTE is a standard technology behind the next-generation cellular networks, known as 4G. It is designed from the ground up to carry data. Network operators expect not just higher speeds but lower operational costs with LTE.
At a developer summit in Las Vegas ahead of the annual International Consumer Electronics Show, De La Vega said AT&T has nearly finished its rollout of HSPA+, an upgraded 3G network that AT&T considers part of its 4G network because it offers similar speeds.
After initially resisting, the International Telecommunications Union, a standards-setting body, has approved the practice of calling upgraded 3G networks "4G" — something that AT&T competitor T-Mobile USA also does.

Fussy eater on the DDP
Hi everyone!!!
A bit of a strange question but how flexible are disney with their menus? I am going on my honeymoon in August next year but I am the fussiest person in the world and I find a lot of the menus very 'posh' in terms of what I like! I'm much more of a quick service person but my fiancé insisted on a sit down meal each day! So would they do their meals without sauces and with chips instead of veg etc? I really want to eat at jiko and have the steak in macaroni cheese that they had on their menu a while back but it's no longer there! Would they do this for me? It's been 8 years since I last went and have never really eaten at TS restaurants with my family! Also can you yse a TS credit to have a QS meal? Thanks a lot in advance for your replies! :D |
At most table service restaurants you can request to have chef come to your table and you can ask them questions you have about the menu.
2. You can still get it. Mac and cheese is offered as a side dish, so I'm 90% sure you could substitute it into the filet dish for a small upcharge. 3. Yes, you can use a TS credit for a QS meal, but to me that's a waste. TS are so much more expensive than QS so I would use it to get its full value at a good restaurant rather than waste it on an overpriced burger. |
I had the filet with mac and cheese at Jiko on Wednesday. The waiter said it was not a problem and people make that request every day.
Another question though - can an adult order a child's meal but in an adult size portion? |
For example, as Jiko - maybe you want the filet mignon but don't want the rice (I'm looking at myself here). But, there is herb-crusted potatoes offered with the chicken just one item away. I would order the filet mignon and substitute the rice with the potatoes. And you can always order something "naked" without sauces. I have learned with any restaurant, if you say "hold *whatever*" about 99.9% of the servers will say "do you want something else?" The other .1% of the places shouldn't be in business. But at Disney World it's 100% that will attempt to please you. No worries. |
Overall, all the restaurants are quite accommodating but be aware that they don't have to be, so it's not a guarantee. You can use TS credits for buffet restaurants (Crystal Palace, Hollywood & Vine, Trails End, 1900 Park Fare etc.) which is often the best way to go. I am a little fussy too, so we tend to go to buffet table service meals then everyone can get what they want.
In terms of switching TS for CS and adult meals for kids offerings, you'll find that most will do it without a problem but again, there are some "jobs worth" types who do say no. I think it would be wrong of us to give you certain answers based on our own experiences because as most of us know things are not always consistent. I have read in multiple places and it frequently comes up on the DIS and DIBB boards that some people have managed to trade counter service meals for 3 snack credits. It does happen and we did it, but most places we tried said it couldn't be done. We were lucky and found a nice CM at the Contemporary who did it for us, but it's not a sure thing at all. You shouldn't have too many problems but just bear in mind that they won't always do these things and at the beginning if they can help you. |

One time I was at the range, practicing my dry fire. The range master was a serious nag, and decided she needed to literally follow me and my husband around, and point out everything we did wrong. There are no rules posted, so I guess you're supposed to figure things out the hard way.
In order to dry fire, I had to cycle a bullet through, then drop it out. In order for it not to fall on the ground, I had to sort of lean over the bench and tip it out. Well, apparently this woman saw me sweep my muzzle, and, even though there was no one else there, this is a no-no. Frankly, I had no idea. I always keep the business end from people, no matter what, but it never occurred to me that a gun with the mag out, me pulling back on the slide, and the last round being tipped out, could be a danger to the invisible people to my right, who would have also been hanging out near some targets.
She said something about my gun misfiring, and I explained to her that I was practicing a dry fire. It pissed me off that first, she assumed I didn't know how to handle a weapon; second, that she had already nagged about a hundred other things; and third, she embarrassed me.
I guess my point is that everybody makes mistakes. Some are worse than others. Make sure if you point out someone's mistakes, you are doing it to help them, and not make yourself feel superior, because I can guarantee everyone here, and elsewhere, has done something really stupid at least once in their life.

I read on a extension office web site that a mix of 20% egg and 80 water would keep deer out for about 30 days. Even after it rains. I made a batch and added some ground habinero and minced garlic for good measure. It poured the rain all the next day after I sprayed . Just wondering if I should spray again ? Anyone had any luck with a similar mix? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most everything I have read about using eggs as a deer repellant is that they need to be rotten, smell really bad, and the mixture needs to be reapplied after every rain. |

if you want other ideas ... using the GW search engine up under the banner on the right... you might find a couple hundred.. or thousand deer posts ... ken |
Perhaps this PBS video might be of some help. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The Private Life of Deer
The only thing I know of that will keep deer away is mountain lion urine. And if you kind find a source of that, one of the deer may smarten up and convince the others that it's all a bluff anyway. DMF P.S. .30-06 works too but may have to be re-applied at regular intervals. |
Urine from predators does not keep deer away from the garden, if urine did what the sellers tell you it would limit their range of travel severely. Suggesting using a rifle is disingenuous since many people cannot due to laws restricting discharging firearms in populated areas. Deer are seen in the video linked above easily scaling a 9 foot high fence. Doing as Ken suggests will lead you to mostly myth and not real solutions to the problem. |
the best defense is a good fence. Spraying eggs around is a good way to attract Raccoons, Opossums, Skunks and Rats. |

> "Suggesting using a rifle is disingenuous" Dude, the whole post is disingenuous. Lighten up. |
The video linked above shows deer easily scaling a 9 foot high fence. I would not classify the whole post as disingenuous, just a couple of comments. |
One of the best commercial deer repellents that I've ever used has rotten eggs as well as other smelly stuff in the recipe. Its formulation allows it to remain effective after rains. It's called Bobbex. I used it to protect an historical garden of vegetables, herbs, indigo, and cotton. The deer pressure in the area was pretty intense and we were not allowed to use anything but a very rustic four foot fence. We noticed that the rabbits stayed away, too. The very strong odor went away (mostly) after a few hours, so we didn't chase the tourists away, too, lol. |
A few years ago someone wrote an article that appeared in Fine Gardening magazine about these various deer "repellents" and their analysis of them is they are not very effective although they would work if switched around regularly. |
Sometimes, it is wise to heed the advice of those with years of personal experience. I used Bobbex for many years all over the southeast, on the many properties for which I was responsible as a consultant. IPM guidelines always suggest that control of pests and diseases requires a multifaceted approach. In some cases, there are few options. In my case, which is similar to many responsible for commercial sites or homeowners who simply don't want to build a stockade around their property, a successful repellent (without the denigrating quotation marks) was a gratifying discovery. Deer feeding is another instance where home remedies often fail. Or, they work for a very short time. It is often, not always, wise to use a commercially formulated product rather than try a battery of pantry remedies. |

"Suggesting using a rifle is disingenuous since many people cannot due to laws restricting discharging firearms in populated areas. " DMForcier, admit it. He is right. What the man needs is a crossbow. |
I'm another satisfied long time Bobbex user, my new property has deer almost daily, often for hours at a time - they bed down on the lawn and make themselves quite at home. My issue with the Bobbex product is that it requires spraying so infrequently, often a new growth spurt will take place and I'll have new foliage I haven't noticed that is not protected and that will be munched back. It seems to be most true of roses though, and I've given up on those, I'm not going to grow them this location. My goal with this house and acre was open, welcoming, friendly to neighbors and 2-footed guests, I do not want a stockade type fence and given the steepness of the lot in back, fencing would limit my own access for maintenance from the street below. Anything over 4' across the front doesn't meet city code either, making a three sided deer fence mostly useless. I'm learning to work around them - it's been a process ;) |
> "What the man needs is a crossbow." Yeah - what I said. A .30-06 crossbow load - with a power head! ;D |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
