Even better than I hoped
dawn from Western MA– Verified Buyer
Wanted two comfortable parson like dining chairs that were not too wide or too tall...these are the perfect size for living small. The fabric is truly linen like and they are made well. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the directions don't make it clear that you can easily put the front legs on facing the wrong way. Really look at the illustration...pay attention to leg shape, make sure the metal hardware on front legs is point out not in or you will have a time attaching...I struggled with one, then realized the leg was facing the wrong way. Wish my table and room could accommodate two more!
You'll like this chair
Carol from Oregon– Verified Buyer
Love the blue color, not too bright. Like the lower back. The combination makes a nice color statement without shouting. Fits well under my table and is comfortable. However, we had a problem with quality control where the screws don't fit correctly into the holes, which made putting them together a problem. However, they were quickly replaced by Modern so now we have two that went together. I'd risk it again. Very happy with the chairs.
Quality, Comfort, and Stylish.
Eddie from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer
I ordered two of these side chairs for a client's Kitchen table. The color was beautiful, fabric was soft and durable, and the chairs are very comfortable. Great product for a great price! They clients and their children loved them!

Cheryl from New Windsor, IL– Verified Buyer
It was exactly like the picture. Very comfortable, the only thing, instructions said the legs were marked right and left. Neither chair I ordered had the legs marked. I ordered 2 chair, so 4 legs were not marked. Still, easy to put together.
Small but sturdy and comfortable
Brent from Dorchester, MA– Verified Buyer
Knowing that we needed 10 chairs for our dining room and not wanting to spend a huge amount, we decided to order these chairs. When we received them, we were surprised by how short they are (the backs are only as tall as a dining table). That said, we really love the look of them and they are very comfortable.
Good Chairs!
Nancy from New York– Verified Buyer
These aren't really high end chairs, but they are just what I was expecting. The price is reasonable, and the quality is good. They work really well for our needs. We are totally satisfied with them.
exactly as advertised
Jackie from Alpena, MI– Verified Buyer
These chairs are great! Very, very comfortable seats & the shorter back works for me because they don't create a visual barrier that would make the room look smaller. The color matches the photograph and the woven linen fabric has a nice texture. I snagged them when they went on sale and got a terrific value.
fun and interesting
Rachel from Northbrook, IL– Verified Buyer
really comfy and unique! my kids love them because the seat is a little higher and closer to the table
Love the chairs...but
Sheri from Pittsburgh, PA– Verified Buyer
I love the chairs. The one problem was that they arrived and the metal plate detached when screwing in the legs. I ended up using a lot of extra wood glue to stabilize the legs. Otherwise, I'd give this 5 stars.
Very pleasing purchase!
Carol from Austin, TX– Verified Buyer
These chairs are beautiful and super easy to put together. The scale is perfect for my setting and super comfortable as well. Just as attractive as the picture and the color is gorgeous. Love!

A demolition tool helps meet a tight bridge demolition deadline in Denver.
When Denver's Interstate 25 and 84th Ave. bridge needed replacing, Performance Equipment Service stepped in to help its client contractor get the job done on time.
Performance Equipment is first and foremost an equipment rental house, but it provides extra workforce when its clients are in a pinch.
The strict timeline for the project required the bridge to come down in just two night shifts, with the area open to traffic by 5 a.m. each morning. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) would impose stiff fines if these times weren't met.
Performance Equipment Service is a store that started out as a family venture 13 years ago in Erie, Colo. Donnie Fetters, owner and president, says client contractors on jobs requiring an excavator with an extended boom sometimes ask Fetters or one of his operators to jump in.
To help meet the strict time requirements, Performance Equipment brought in an Atlas Copco CC 3300 Combi Cutter to help speed things along. "I could have done it with just the pulverizers, maybe. But that was a hard deadline to meet," says Fetters. "The Combi Cutter got us off the freeway faster. Maybe it only cut a little more than an hour off each night, but an hour makes me look better."
Fetters had two five-hour windows in which to complete the work. He arrived for the first shift just before midnight and finished by 4:15 a.m. The next night he arrived shortly after 11 p.m. and was done by 3:30 a.m.
Handling with Care
Donnie Fetters, owner and president of Performance Equipment Service, Erie, Colo., says he liked the Atlas Copco CC 3300 Combi Cutter he used during the Interstate 25 and 84th Ave. bridge demolition enough to buy it outright for his business after the bridge demolition.
The next project using the Combi Cutter was to be a steel building. Fetters didn't anticipate any problem cutting through 14-inches girders with the tool. The CC 3300 has an optional jaw package for metal.
Fetters says he plans to use discretion when renting out the tool. "Well, yeah. I'll rent it out. We're a rental house above anything else. We never compete with our contractors—but I'll have to have a lot of trust in the operator."
To ensure that trust, Combi Cutter rental will come with a thorough checkout and some quality hands-on coaching before Fetters says he will completely put the tool into other hands.
As with all of Performance Equipment's rentals, Fetters says he wants to keep the unit in the absolute best possible condition, guaranteeing that his rental customers will have a similarly positive experience to the one he had when he first used the tool.
This completed the final demolition phases of the 44-foot-wide 1960s-era bridge. Two Atlas Copco HB3000 heavy-duty breakers turned the 44-foot concrete span into "the better part of 60 semitrailer dump loads" of rubble, Fetters says. He recycled the material to provide a base for his company's 7.5 acre equipment yard area.
"I'd guess it would have been a six-hour-a-night job for the pulverizers. What's nice about the Combi Cutter is I could slice the bridge up, take it down whole chunks at a time," says Fetters.
Fetters adds that he liked the capability of the Combi Cutter, with its independent jaws and metal shearing knives. "My first impression was, the knives were sure wearing well. In fact, there's no sign of wear yet, except for the paint that came off the jaws. No nicks—and this was big No. 9 rebar."
"You nibble at it with the jaws, take the end 10 inches, and then get in there with your knives for the exposed rebar," he says of the demolition process.
Fetters looked at other equipment for the job, but he says the Combi Cutter was the top performer. "None of those others have the teeth the Combi Cutter has. One on top and two on the bottom."
Final Touches
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) website, www.coloradodot.info, the bridge replacement project on 84th Ave. over I-25 began in late February 2011. The original bridge was constructed in 1959 and was described as being in poor condition. The new bridge is wider to accommodate an additional left turn lane from eastbound 84th Ave. to northbound I-25. In addition, there are 10-foot sidewalks on each side of the bridge to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety.
Zak Dirt Inc. was the contractor for $8 million project, the majority of which was funded by Funding Advancements for Surface Transportation and Economic Recovery (FASTER), which is dedicated to improving safety and replacing poor bridges. The city of Thornton, Colo., funded the architectural enhancements to the bridge.
CDOT reports all major work had been completed on the bridge as of January 2013.
He found the action to be a unique design advantage. "The self-leveling really impressed me. The jaws don't put pressure on your tractor. One side stays put and the other comes around, balanced. No one else could tell me they had that. [It's the] first one I've seen like that, and it makes it stronger. The other cutter I have doesn't have nearly the strength of this one."
He says he believes there is something to be said about a difference in weight. "This unit is about 2,500 pounds lighter than that other one. That's easier on my tractor, too. Easier to work with."

LONDON (Reuters) - JK Rowling, Britain's best-selling author and creator of teenage wizard Harry Potter, has donated 1 million pounds ($1.68 million) to the campaign against Scottish independence, saying on Wednesday she believed Scotland was better off staying in the United Kingdom.
Rowling lives in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh where she wrote the first of the Potter series in a local cafe and will be among about four million Scottish residents to decide on Sept. 18 whether to end the 307-year tie to England.
Rowling said she was concerned about the economic impact of going alone, with Scotland's oil and gas reserves being depleted and an ageing population, becoming the latest in a string of celebrities to wade into the increasingly heated debate.
"The more I have read from a variety of independent and unbiased sources, the more I have come to the conclusion that while independence might give us opportunities – any change brings opportunities – it also carries serious risks," she wrote on her website.
Rowling said she knew her stance might put her in the firing line of a fringe of aggressive nationalists whom she compared to Death Eaters, followers of Harry Potter villain Lord Voldemort.
"While a few of our fiercer nationalists might like to drive me forcibly over the border after reading this, I'd prefer to stay and contribute to a country that has given me more than I can easily express," she wrote. "I just hope with all my heart that we never have cause to look back and feel that we made a historically bad mistake."
A spokesman for the Better Together campaign confirmed Rowling had donated 1 million pounds to the fight to keep Scotland in the United Kingdom which is the biggest donation yet to the pro-union campaign that is leading in opinion polls.
The largest donation to the team fighting for independence has come from Britain's biggest lottery winners, Scottish couple Colin and Chris Weir, who have given about 3.5 million pounds from their 2011 winnings of 161 million pounds.
Rowling, who was born in England but has lived in Scotland for 21 years, first went public with her opposition to Scottish independence in 2012 but her statement on Wednesday spelt out her thinking.
She said she believed Scotland was more powerful in global markets as part of the union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland and was concerned about Scotland's relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom if it broke away.
"If we leave ... there will be no going back. This separation will not be quick and clean: it will take microsurgery to disentangle three centuries of close interdependence, after which we will have to deal with three bitter neighbours," she wrote.
Other celebrities publicly to oppose independence include singer David Bowie who appealed to Scotland to stay with the United Kingdom at an awards ceremony in February and Scottish comedian Billy Connolly who said it was a time to stay together.
But other big Scottish names are backing independence including James Bond actor Sean Connery, a long-term nationalist who said independence was too good an opportunity to miss.
One major Scottish celebrity, tennis player Andy Murray, has refused to take sides in the debate, although he admitted this week that he did not like Scottish leader Alex Salmond holding up Scotland's blue and white flag, the Saltire, behind Prime Minister David Cameron when he won Wimbledon last year.
Opinion polls currently suggest Scots are reluctant to break away although support for independence has risen this year.
A TNS poll on Wednesday showed 42 percent of voters opposed independence while 30 percent were in favour and 28 percent undecided. The numbers were unchanged from a month ago.

Solar power
I listened a bit early this morning to radio program discussing clean energy - given that the fossil fuel industry is so adapt at controlling the discussion here, there were a couple of points of interest -
The US military is leading the shift to energy independence on their bases - sort of a competition between base commanders to see who can come up with the best solutions. Seems that everybody in the military is well aware that the wars in the middle east are resource wars. A huge number of returning vets are starting up clean energy companies as well.
Then this:
(Reuters) - German solar power plants produced a world record 22 gigawatts of electricity per hour - equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity - through the midday hours on Friday and Saturday, the head of a renewable energy think tank said.
The German government decided to abandon nuclear power after the Fukushima nuclear disaster last year, closing eight plants immediately and shutting down the remaining nine by 2022.
They will be replaced by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and bio-mass.
Norbert Allnoch, director of the Institute of the Renewable Energy Industry (IWR) in Muenster, said the 22 gigawatts of solar power per hour fed into the national grid on Saturday met nearly 50 percent of the nation's midday electricity needs.
"Never before anywhere has a country produced as much photovoltaic electricity," Allnoch told Reuters. "Germany came close to the 20 gigawatt (GW) mark a few times in recent weeks. But this was the first time we made it over."
The record-breaking amount of solar power shows one of the world's leading industrial nations was able to meet a third of its electricity needs on a work day, Friday, and nearly half on Saturday when factories and offices were closed.
and this:
FUENTES DE ANDALUCIA, Spain: A unique thermosolar power station in southern Spain can shrug off cloudy days: energy stored when the sun shines lets it produce electricity even during the night.
The Gemasolar station, up and running since last May, stands out in the plains of Andalusia.
From the road between Seville and Cordoba, one can see its central tower lit up like a beacon by 2,600 solar mirrors, each 120 square metres (1,290 square feet), that surround it in an immense 195-hectare (480-acre) circle.
"It is the first station in the world that works 24 hours a day, a solar power station that works day and night!" said Santago Arias, technical director of Torresol Energy, which runs the station.
The mechanism is "very easy to explain," he said: the panels reflect the suns rays on to the tower, transmitting energy at an intensity 1,000 times higher than that of the sun's rays reaching the earth.
Energy is stored in a vat filled with molten salts at a temperature of more than 500 degrees C (930 F). Those salts are used to produce steam to turn the turbines and produce electricity.
It is the station's capacity to store energy that makes Gemasolar so different because it allows the plant to transmit power during the night, relying on energy it has accumulated during the day.
"I use that energy as I see fit, and not as the sun dictates," Arias explained.
As a result, the plant produces 60 percent more energy than a station without storage capacity because it can work 6,400 hours a year compared to 1,200-2,000 hours for other solar power stations, he said.
We could have been doing this all along... if it weren't for greed.
Yes, I know... it sounds like a broken record, but it's the truth. If the few weren't so wrapped up in greed, and the many weren't so oblivious to what's been happening, this nation, too, could be running on clean energy and a fair playing field.
"Norbert Allnoch, director of the Institute of the Renewable Energy Industry (IWR) in Muenster, said the 22 gigawatts of solar power per hour fed into the national grid on Saturday met nearly 50 percent of the nation's midday electricity needs."
It is a few weeks from the maximum solar incidence in the northern hemisphere. I wonder what percentage of the nation's mid-day electricity needs are fed into the grid from solar in early december?
I would like to know the following: what is the total embodied energy cost of Germany's to date solar installations, vs the year-round total average electricity production from those same installations? That would be much more useful than cherry-picked data.
A small, amazing step by my town with funds from the American Recovery Act.
- Hempstead Town Blows Past 100,000 Kilowatt Hours; Wind Turbine Now Powers Towns Hydrogen Fuel Station
With a high-powered wind turbine at the Department of Conservation and Waterways, the Town of Hempstead has blown past the 100,000-kilowatt hour mark, generating over 128,000 kilowatt hours in just 24 weeks. The wind turbine, erected in December 2011, currently provides power to Long Islands only hydrogen fueling station.
Sitting behind the wheel of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered town vehicle the fuel created as the result of the wind turbine powering the towns water-to-hydrogen conversion process Murray drove through a "finish line" banner marking the passing of 125,000 kilowatt hours.
Joining the Town at the ceremony to mark this green accomplishment were representatives from the wind turbines manufacturer, Northern Power Systems; and installer, Aegis Wind. The town also welcomed the United States Department of Energy, Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), Renewable Energy LI, EmPower Solar, Wilke Engineering, the Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition, the Lido Beach and Point Lookout Civic Associations and the Point Lookout-Lido Fire Department.
"I am proud to announce that the Town of Hempsteads wind turbine has generated over 100,000 kilowatt hours since December, helping to power Long Islands only hydrogen fueling station," stated Murray. "Powered by the winds off Point Lookout, this wind turbine provides an almost constant supply of clean, renewable energy for the town."
To date, the wind turbine has provided an estimated 128,000 kilowatt hours. To put this in perspective, the amount of energy generated could power 14 Long Island homes (based on the average homes electricity demand) for an entire year! Whats more, according to LIPA, the wind turbine is well on its way to generating between 180,000 and 240,000 kilowatt hours annually.
At the town Department of Conservation and Waterways, the wind turbine is used to power a water-to-hydrogen conversion process that results in the creation of hydrogen fuel. This fuel is then stored on location at the towns hydrogen fueling station, utilized by the towns fleet of Toyota fuel-cell vehicles, which include a hydrogen/natural gas bus.
Energy experts estimate that the United States produces over 2,200 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually to create electric power. In fact, if the town had produced these 128,000 kilowatt hours of energy using standard fossil fuels, over 171,000 pounds of carbon dioxide would have been created. Instead, utilizing the wind turbine, the town has generated these 128,000 kilowatt hours without creating a single pound of carbon dioxide.
"We are very excited to have the Town of Hempstead included in our growing global 100kW wind turbine fleet," said Trevor Atkinson, of Northern Power Systems. "Their vision, leadership and commitment to demonstrating 21st century energy sustainability is extraordinary. This clean energy project sets the bar for all others to follow in their footsteps."
The wind turbine, which cost an estimated $615,000, was funded through a $4.6- million United States Department of Energy grant secured by the Town of Hempstead. The town has also utilized this grant to finance the construction of a 60K solar field, two solar trackers (solar panels which follow the path of the sun), a solar-powered carport and a geothermal energy project that will address heating and cooling needs at the towns Conservation and Waterways facility.
So much more potential.
Pat, at the link is the full article on the German shift from nuclear/coal to renewables. Pretty impressive.
Given that the sunlight is now near the max - sure. Maybe in the winter the part of the answer is more wind, and far more efficient use of passive solar to heat stuff, as well as far better insulation and efficiency in electricity use.
With the later, all the incentives now are upside down, industry pays less per KWH the more they consume, not the opposite. I think it safe to say that a whole lot more efficient motors would come into use if the KWH cost went up with consumption.
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Were I very young and not college degree material, assembling, repairing/maintaining wind turbines is what I would want to look into. I think it's the smart wave of the future for many areas of the country (certainly my own) and though some think them ugly, I find in them a kind of clean lined, art-like beauty.
If the 1 percent which needs us to continue to enthusiastically embrace oil/gas energy.
If they were as enthusiastic to be on the cutting edge of future profits from alternative renewable natural energy sources, just think of what point in this quest we could be.
I find it sad that the country I was told as a child was #1
in everything, a world leader in knowledge, education, medicine, science and applied science is no longer in the top five or probably ten in any of those areas.
Our focus shifted somewhere along the way, we lost our edge.
Good for Germany, they can now lead us, guide us to new ideas, all by example - the best teaching tool there is.
I find them to be artistic in form, too, Mylab... even more so because I know they're providing energy from a clean, self-renewing source... the wind! One rather small turbine can power an entire farm, household, or business. Some counties here allow them, and I see smaller units being used by farms and businesses. Imagine how much power those giant windmills put out... Europe has used windmills for centuries... perhaps not for the same purpose, but the concept has been with us for a long time.
And, we've come a long way from yesterday's storage batteries. The concept keeps evolving as new ideas come to fruition.
I don't think they're ugly, at all... nor do I think they ruin the landscape. Think of how ugly the landscape is left by mining, fracking, piping and pumping, leaving behind deforested mountains and piles of useless, poisoned rock... and empty mine shafts that spill poisoned water into our rivers and streams... killing wildlife... oil wells and pipes that leak, spilling and killing... that's ugly.
The Republicans are attacking the Pentagon's plan (meaning President Obama) for alternative energy for the Pentagon
Republicans Order Navy to Quit Buying Biofuels On Monday, the U.S. Navy will officially announce the ships for its demonstration of the "Great Green Fleet" -- an entire aircraft carrier strike group powered by biofuels and other eco-friendly energy sources. If a powerful congressional panel has its way, it could be the last time the Navy ever uses biofuels to run its ships and jets.
In its report on next year's Pentagon budget, the House Armed Services Committee banned the Defense Department from making or buying an alternative fuel that costs more than a "traditional fossil fuel." It's a standard that may be almost impossible to meet, energy experts believe; there's almost no way the tiny, experimental biofuel industry can hope to compete on price with the massive, century-old fossil fuels business...
"We'd be years behind if it wasn't for the military," said Tom Todaro, a leading biofuel entrepreneur whose companies have supplied the military with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel made from mustard seeds.
When Mabus took over as Navy Secretary, he declared that the service would get half of its energy from sources other than oil by 2020. The two-day Great Green Fleet demo, scheduled for the end of June in Hawaii, is supposed to be the biggest step yet towards that beyond-ambitious goal...
Committee Republicans -- unhappy about shrinking defense budgets and skeptical about the White House's green initiatives -- used the biofuel buy as a way to go after the administration.
"I understand that alternative fuels may help our guys in the field, but wouldn't you agree that the thing they'd be more concerned about is having more ships, more planes, more prepositioned stocks," Rep. Randy Forbes said during a February hearing with Mabus. "Shouldn't we refocus our priorities and make those things our priorities instead of advancing a biofuels market?" Then he told Mabus: "You're not the secretary of the energy. You're the secretary of the Navy."
And here's bipartisan idiocy - better to keep funding budget-busting fighter jets that are prone to asphixating the pilots than develop alternative energy technology: Senate Panel Cuts Off Navy's Biofuel Buys The Navy's ambitious renewable-energy plans aren't sunk quite yet. But they took a major hit Thursday, when the Senate Armed Services Committee voted to all-but-ban the military from buying alternative fuels.
The House Armed Services Committee passed a similar measure earlier this month. But the House is controlled by Republicans, who are generally skeptical of alternative energy efforts. Democrats are in charge of the Senate Armed Services Committee. And if anything, the Senate's alt-fuel prohibition goes even further than the House's. If it becomes law, if would not only sink the Navy's attempt to sail a "Great Green Fleet," powered largely by biofuels. It would also sabotage a half-billion-dollar program to shore up a tottering biofuels industry...
The measures -- amendments to the Pentagon's budget for next year -- were pushed by two Republicans. Sen. James Inhofe has long been one of the Republican's fiercest critics of renewable energy efforts; Sen. John McCain has in recent years turned away from long-held eco-friendly positions.
"Adopting a 'green agenda' for national defense of course is a terrible misplacement of priorities," McCain told National Journal Daily on Tuesday, calling it "a clear indication that the president doesn't understand national security."
(CNN) -- In 2010 alone, there were roughly 1,100 attacks on U.S. fuel convoys. This has cost the men and women of our armed forces dearly.
Military officials recently reported that more than 3,000 uniformed soldiers and contractors died while protecting such missions in Iraq from 2003 to 2007. But new Pentagon initiatives could dramatically reduce our battlefield fuel demand through the use of new clean energy technologies, helping save lives and stretch ever-scarce defense dollars.
The U.S. Department of Defense is one of the world's largest institutional energy consumers. Using more than 300,000 barrels of oil daily, the U.S. military consumes more petroleum products than three-quarters of the countries in the world.
In fiscal year 2008, energy cost the department about $17.9 billion. Leaders in the Pentagon, though, are up to the challenge.
The Defense Department played a key role in the development of the Internet, semiconductors and modern satellite-based navigation, used by virtually anyone with a smartphone. Now, as detailed in a recent report by the Pew Charitable Trusts, its efforts to improve vehicle efficiency and use advanced biofuels could similarly lead the way for countless U.S. businesses seeking a foothold in the burgeoning global clean energy economy.
Building on the work of an expert panel convened by the Defense Science Board, the Pentagon has called for a new technology development strategy aimed at reducing risk to soldiers and enhancing our nation's overall long-term energy security. The department considers this one of its top strategic imperatives. snip -
So, lets put a screahing halt to this so the oil companies retain their big lock on the military and economy.
Here is a link that might be useful: link
The two extremes on the energy debate are both myopic, IMO.
To think that we can just continue as per usual with fossil fuels, even with massive efficiency increases, is unrealistic. Equally unrealistic is the idea that we can continue consuming energy as per usual but from 'renewable' sources.
So the criticisms cited in that link, mentioned as "complaints", are entirely viable. No industrial nation will get remotely close to business as usual based on renewable energy. The gap from Germany's current 4% from solar to 100% of current electrical usage from renewables, to say nothing of other energy uses, will not be closed. And that is in Germany, where per-capita energy usage is much lower than US/Canada.
The rosy picture of renewable energy in the fantastic future is very similar to the 1950's space-age futuristic fantasy, IMO. Electricity did not in fact turn out to so cheap as not worth the metering, robots don't do our housework nor much else, we don't live on the moon and shuttle-commute to manhattan and the office. We don't travel with personal jet-packs on earth. Those didn't happen because they are absurd and come pretty close to violating physics if not common sense, yet many people believed such nonsense.
The idea that 3 billion people can continue in their current energy consumption with another 3 billion rapidly increasing theirs while the world switches from the densest forms of energy extant (which made all that population possible in the first place) to the diffused renewable energies which never supported more than one billion people (back when there was a much larger stock of biological riches) is of course an absurdity. That's why getting excited about a super-rich region of the world sinking a lot of fossil-fuel resource into renewable energy gathering hardware is a distraction from what really has to happen.
Well, given that Germany and Japan have both stopped using nuclear power following the recent quake and tsunami, what - a year ago? And have now largely recouped the lost capacity through renewables, its still pretty impressive.
Anyway, whats the alternative? I share your bleak outlook on continued consumption of fossil fuels - just that I see that the sooner the world develops non-centralized, diverse energy sources, the better.
Germany has been investing in solar for a lot longer than one year. The last time I was there-4 or 5 years ago you saw solar installations on the roofs of most the large barns and big buildings all over the country side. I dont believe they think solar is the answer-it is just part of the solution.
Dave is saying that germany has made up for some 6 or 7 nuclear power generation plants with pv panels in one year, not that they have installed all their pv in one year. Did that article actually make that claim, Dave? Seems incredible.
Anyhoo, yes, northern europe generally has been impressive with their progress on pv generation and wind harvesting. Since they never got anywhere close to the per-capita consumption of NA generating a large percentage of total usage from those has been much more feasible. We hogs over here are going to have to kiss the pumpkin at midnight and turn into shoats right quick to be able to do something similar, and then at that Europeans also are going to have to reduce per-capita consumption sharply.
The German government has provided huge incentives for the development of renewable energy sources. Startng in 1991 with the Electricity Feed Act and then in 2000 with the Renewable Energy Sources Act, a massive focus, again with incentives, has been placed on developing alternative energy sources. Nothing that's occurred in Germany has happened in just the last year, it's been 20+ yrs in the making.
patriciae, you're right...solar is just part of the German solution.
I also remember hearing that private property owners (like those who own the barns Patriciae wrote about) can sell their unused energy (solar or wind) to energy companies - they don't necessarily use all they produce for themselves.
Having been to Germany a few times, it was almost always cloudy - in the summer, no less. I just wonder how they can generate much solar energy at all.
That is the point of grid-tie, Dock. It eliminates the battery storage, but a grid can only handle so much pv before it becomes pointless.
PV-generated electric is DC. There is significant loss inverting to AC so that it can travel in a grid, but that loss is less than the massive cost of large battery banks at every point (not to mention converting households to DC appliances). The problem with an all pv-grid however is fairly obvious: households in non AC climates use most of their power as the sun goes down and at night. That means that a grid would have to span a huge east-west axis and pv-generated power has to be sent many, many miles. Not only does the power have to be inverted to AC but it has to be ramped up from 12 volts to about 10,000 volts. Line losses in the grid average about 30%. PV can't afford that.
And thus we run smack up against a good example of the essential difference between dense and diffused energy sources. Diffused sources are a terrible fit for our dense-energy infrastructure. Sure, combining wind with solar helps smooth it out, but its still very far from being anything like as effective and reliable as fossil fuel generated energy. Winter nights can be quite calm.
When I look at a nationwide grid, I see vulnerability and waste - witness the blackouts in the North East and brown outs in CA. There are plenty of dire warnings of how that entire infrastructure of power lines, transformers, etc is aged and needs replacement - at great cost.
I don't know what the power loss is on a transmission line of, say, 300 miles - but I do know that if the disgusting, polluting coal fired power plant is that far away from the point of consumption, the consumers don't give a rip - where they might well the plant was just down the block.
And as Pat has repeatedly pointed out, who controls the power controls the wealth. So there is a subtle, but huge effort, not to decentralize and diversify unless that can be controlled by the existing brokers.
I know I'm repeating myself, but I've a long experience living off the grid, using our own generators, and when forced to be efficient, its pretty easy. Where I live now, some 5-10 percent of the county population lives off the power grid, more off the water mains.
Theoretically, one could design smaller, localized power networks using regional resources and strengths - less vulnerable to a wind storm knocking down transmission lines from 300 miles away.
And as Pat has repeatedly pointed out, who controls the power controls the wealth. So there is a subtle, but huge effort, not to decentralize and diversify unless that can be controlled by the existing brokers.
Pat has it right there also--you can't replace fossil with renewable energy in a nation that makes up 5% of the planet's population yet consumes 25% of the planet's energy.
Germany's nuclear energy industry's net output was 12 odd percent, vs. the wind energy's net output of slightly more than 12%. And that was before Fukushima. Just wind, not even counting solar.
An excellent point, Dave. If I lived near an accursed coal-fired plant, well, I wouldn't. I'd hope I could leave. Of course, it's easy to say, living very far from any power plants. Though Cape Wind looks like it will finally happen.
A very apropos article in today's times below. Even so far south as the keys it is tough to run AC and other uses concurrently despite large arrays. A good example of how modern western lifestyles do not fit with the renewable paradigm.
Here is a link that might be useful: summer in Canada, or grin and bear it.

Hola my special peeps! Oh and if you wanna follow me on twitter my username is @tm_mendes90 although I hate it when they say 'so-and-so is now following you.' it makes me feel weird...like i have all these stalkers o.O Oh and Wattpad HQ interviewed me over the phone so if you want to you can listen to me talk lol because how exciting is that?! ;P just type in the link here: http://soundcloud.com/wattpad of course I'm under mamie1990 I can't see myself not writing. It's become a part of me. My views on things are as people would say 'old fashioned'. I don't believe in sex before marriage The only reason I believe that though is because I want to be able to look at the man I just married and say 'I loved and respected you enough to wait for you' It also shows that I respect myself myself too. If you don't believe this than that's fine I'm not going to shove my beliefs down your throat that's not how I roll lol. To me that wedding night is supposed to be special and something that's worth waiting for. I love my future husband even though I don't know him yet. Call me sappy I don't care it's how I view things. But I also respect others opinions because I think it's stupid when others try to force their way of thinking on you. If you have questions just let me know and I'll try and help! :) TO MY FANS!! i LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!! Oh and my facebook is under Mamie Mendes if you want to look me up! :) UPDATE!!!! I'M GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER ACCOUNT SPECIFICALLY FOR MY OLDER WORKS. ie: I didn't know the guy I fell for was my teacher, switched, Vengeful Love, Love in the trenches, Convicted Love ect.

Best Private Tennis Courts (2004)
Denver Tennis Club
Plenty of new tennis courts have sprung up around the metro area as wealthy residents have pushed into the suburbs. But after a layer of Har-Tru and a chain-link fence, what really distinguishes one place from another? The answer is feel and tradition; after all, Wimbledon without history is just another place for Brits to frolic on the lawn. For this reason, the Denver Tennis Club's dozen courts (two of them clay) get the nod. This past year, the club celebrated its 75th anniversary. Since 1928, the Denver City Open has been held there every year except 1950, when a spat among members temporarily forced the tennis tournament back to City Park. The only downside to the place? No lights -- and the cost of joining has climbed somewhat since the first $5 initiation and $15 annual fees were levied. Today it'll cost you $675 to sign on and $465 per year for membership.

Brazil edge out Black Stars
Ronaldinho returns, as Leandro strike settles friendly contest
Last Updated: 05/09/11 10:07pm
Ronaldinho: Made his first international appearance in 10 months
Brazil, with the recalled Ronaldinho in their starting XI, edged out ten-man Ghana 1-0 in a friendly at Craven Cottage on Monday.
The Samba stars were far from their best on English soil, but picked up the win courtesy of Leandro Damiao's solitary strike.
All of the attention prior to kick-off was focused on the returning Ronaldinho, with the former World Player of the Year making his first appearance for his country in 10 months.
The 31-year-old has been in impressive form for Flamengo since returning to his homeland and was drafted back into the fold by coach Mano Menezes.
Ronaldinho was unable to dictate the game, though, as two evenly-matched sides proceeded to cancel each other out.
The only goal of the match arrived on the stroke of half-time, with a defence-splitting ball from Fernandinho allowing Leandro to find the bottom corner.
By the time the deadlock was broken, Ghana had already been reduced to ten men.
Daniel Opare was given his marching orders on 32 minutes after picking up two yellow cards.
Brazil struggled to make their numerical advantage count, while the Black Cats offered little as an attacking threat.

"I really admire — and I've seen it in some really young actors — coming from a musical background, coming from the street, always worrying about being cool, wanting to be perceived as hip, you don't want to do too many things that may make you look a little skeptical," he continued. "I remember when we were doing 'Four Brothers' and telling Tyrese and André Benjamin to look at Garrett Hedlund, and no matter how ridiculous he looked, he would still be willing to try anything, and I admired it."
And posting this may have just been so that I had an excuse to use a Jack icon lol.
So cute!

A fine example of how the film was made with full cast and crew commitment. Here, Garrett Hedlund is responsible for filling the old car that is practically a character in the film.

Historical Traveler Reviews Golden Eagle Resort at Stowe
Great value, nice property.
A great value. We stayed in the least expensive room; it was clean and nicely decorated. Very nice grounds; my 3-year old enjoyed the playground, and the indoor pool and jacuzzi were great-very clean. I thought the location was ideal. We had a very relaxing trip to Stowe, it was a quiet time, early September. I hope to go back and would definitely stay at the Golden Eagle Resort again.
Our Fall Foliage Place
We have been staying at the Golden Eagle Resort every Fall since 1970.
All the Staff,Top to Bottom are Great. We usually stay 4 or 5 Nights.
The Location is perfect,it's only a few minutes walk into the Village.
R & C Miller Kinnelon,N.J.
We just recently returned from our 4th stay at the resort. The place is wonderful, even though you are far from home the people make you feel welcome and extremely comfortable. The breakfasts are excellent and the staff at the colonial cafe take an interest in you and make you feel like family. It is very well priced and a definate find in the beautiful mountains of Stowe, VT.
Nice, easy going
We spent time there over the July4th holiday 2003. The rooms were clean and we were given a free upgrade without even asking, to a bigger room which I felt for the money should have been ours in the first place but don't go to Stowe if your not prepared to over pay for things. The location was great.We were able to walk across the street to be right under the fireworks, the place is large with small ponds everywhere. We were up visiting family who lived nearby and this was the place they picked for us. Apparantly for Stowe it's a good value. They were very friendly and didn't seem to have the "if you don't like it you can just leave" attitude that unfortunately is very prevelant in Stowe.
Good Value - Not Ritzy
This place is defnitely a throwback to the old style motor inn. My wife and I booked one of the suites with a fireplace and whirlpool tub. The fireplace was wood burning and defintely added charm to the room. We were expecting a full size jacuzzi/hot tub and instead had the jetted tub - nice, but not quite the same. The breakfast that came with the package was outstanding. The room itself overlooked one of the ponds on the grounds. All in all I'd have to say neutral. I expected a bit more from the room, but overall was happy with the accommodations and the staff. If you paid for one of the standard rooms, I think this would be a value.
Golden Eagle hard to beat
My family has stayed at the Golden Eagle on several occasions, in all seasons, over a number of years. Even at the busiest times, we have found the accommodations comfortable and the staff welcoming, competent and responsive to our needs. For convenience of location and quality of hospitality, the Golden Eagle would be hard to beat in Stowe.
The Golden Eagle Soars!
We have stayed at the Golden Eagle Motel several times, most recently over Memorial Day Weekend in May 2002. The rooms are outstanding with excellent views, very comfortable beds, and excellent service. Breakfast is excellent, in the Vermont style with choices ranging from hotcakes to vegetarian egg beater omelettes.
In addition to the amenities, the location of the resort can not be beat ....only a few minutes down the road to downtown Stowe, very close to Stowe's movie theatre, and close to numerous hiking, biking and cross skiing trails. Mt. Mansfield is a few miles up the road which has some of the greatest skiing in the East, but is beautiful year round....
The best value in Stowe
If you're staying in Stowe, my family has found the Golden Eagle to be the best location and value-close to the village, but convenient to the Mountain with extremely comfortable rooms and all the amenities you could ask for. The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. We always have a wonderful stay there, but book ahead... It's a very a popular spot.
Stowe: Golden Eagle Resort Dishonest
Several years ago my family and I had been looking forward to a week-long ski vacation in Stowe during the Holidays. We had booked two of the best rooms at the Golden Eagle Resort almost six months ahead of time and confirmed these reservations several times afterwards. Upon arriving in Stowe after a several hour drive, we were informed that no rooms were available for us. Our information was in the computer including our credit card number, but for some reason our reservations had never been "officially" registered in the computer. Needless to say, it was extremely difficult to find another place to stay during the x-mas break up in Stowe and I am convinced our reservation was given away to some VIP willing to pay more. Never stay at the Golden Eagle Resort!
Charming and Hospitable
Stayed at the Golden Eagle several years ago with my family (2 adults/2 children), but still remember it well. The room was comfortable and charming, the indoor swimming pool/spa area was lovely, the restaurant was very accommodating, and the staff could not have been more helpful. The Stowe area was also very charming and less crowded than many areas in Vermont such as Killington. We usually go to Colorado in the winter, but this year we may go back to Stowe and will gladly stay at the Golden Eagle again.

"Harvest moon" Neil Young
Tuesday 7 October 2014
Like the local maple syrup my sap is falling, driven predominantly by a stinker of a head-cold. Had it now for 3 days and buying suitable medication for the symptoms requires considerable pharmaceutical expertise in the cheap Dollar Stores. I plumped for something that is supposedly the "same" as paracetomol, but it could just as easily be a "horse pill". I am still alive nonetheless.
