Crisscross Active Tankini Top by prAna 2 2
comfortable and cute swimsuit I like a swimsuit that is supportive on my walk to the lake, and comfortable for my swim. This is a cute suit that works like the top serious-swimmer brand that I have worn for years, but is more supportive. I wear a medium in tops, and a 10 or 12 in most swimsuits, and got the L in this. My worry was that the band under the bust would be too loose to be supportive, but I was pleasantly surprised. The fit is perfect, snug enough without being tight anywhere. I got the brown suit, and it is a nice change from my usual black tank suit. Very happy with this purchase! August 24, 2014
Not the style that looks the best on me. Beautifully made and fit buy just not for me. I wasn't in love with the style on me. It was too straight across the top, I need a little cleavage to show. Also the bottoms that I wanted were on back order and I couldn't wait for them to come. I would have like to try the top and the bottom on together. April 13, 2014

Section Information
Section Description Provided by Instructor
The Legal Theory Workshop is a longstanding faculty seminar, in which invited speakers, from law and other disciplines, present works in progress for comment and discussion. The topics of the papers -- and therefore of the discussions -- vary widely, depending on the current interests of the invited speakers.
In recent years, students have been invited to participate in the workshop for academic credit. The current structure of the Legal Theory Workshop is as a year-long 3-credit course, with two main classroom components. First, students will read each speaker's paper and attend the biweekly workshop sessions, which are typically held Mondays 4:10 - 6:00. (This year, a number of the sessions might be held during Tuesday lunch time.) Second, students will attend biweekly one-hour discussion sessions, led by one of the workshop's faculty directors, at lunchtime (12:10 - 1:00) on Mondays of the workshops (or prior to the Tuesday workshops).
The writing requirements are as follows: one 10-15 page paper each semester, typically responding to one or more of the semester's workshop sessions, and supervised by one of the faculty directors; and five 1-page response papers each semester, due by noon the day before the relevant lunch meeting for each workshop.
Students must take the course for the full year. The first semester will be worth 1 credit, and the second semester will be worth 2 credits, although the requirements are distributed evenly across the year.

I've decided that I want to try something new. I have no experience with Virtual Machines but I know how they are used.
I'd like to set up a small virtual machine environment to build and test my website code on.
I need PHP, MySQL (along with the phpMyadmin panel), Apache (obviously) and FTP access. (plus whatever else I'm forgetting that most current day web servers use)
it can be Linux or Windows based, may prefer Windows for ease of use because I don't feel like messing with Terminals as much as I feel like working.
What software or software packages do you all recommend for this? I'm running a quad core AMD Phenom II. As I said, I have no experience working with or setting up virtual machines. So I need to know how to set up it and what to use, and also how to tweak it and whatever.

Hennessey builds 738bhp Ferrari 458
First ever modified Ferrari for US tuner will hit 60mph in under three seconds…
Posted: 14 Aug 2013
Hennessey Performance has modified a Ferrari 458 Italia to the tune of 738 horses and a 0-60mph time of 2.8 seconds, putting it comfortably in the 'ruddy hell that's quick' category of supercars.
It's the first ever Ferrari tuned by HPE - the same bods who transformed the Lotus Exige into the really rather quick Venom GT - and will be displayed over the 'Monterey Weekend'.
There's the same 4.5-litre Ferrari V8, but treated to a pair of low-inertia, ball-bearing turbochargers. Then there's stainless steel tubing, twin wastegates and blow-off valves, an aluminium plenum containing the air-to-water charge-cooler element, and a rear-mounted heat exchanger with dual electric fans that will attempt to cool the inlet temps. This all sounds complicated, noisy and good.
HPE has rejigged the Ferrari's ECU too, and you're looking at a maximum boost pressure of 7psi, holding 6psi through to the 9,000rpm rev limit. So not only does it boast 738bhp, 532lb ft of torque and that 0-60mph time, but it'll also hit a standing quarter mile in 10.5 seconds at 137mph.
In time, you'll be able to option a carbon fibre front splitter and rear lip spoiler, while you can get HPE's 20in monoblock forged alloy wheels, a KW suspension system with two-way adjustable shocks, some custom interior options and a special stitch pattern.
How much for this twin-turbo madness? $59,995 - just under £39k - on top of the price of your 458 Italia, naturally. "Most purists would shudder at the thought of modifying their Ferrari," explains HPE CEO Don Goldman. "But the HPE700 Twin Turbo 458 would easily change their mind".
Do you agree, TopGear.commers?

Inside South Street Seaport
Neighborhood Highlights
by Alyssa Grossman, 06/26/2013
- nyc boroughs/
- more in lower manhattan/
- recently/
The South Street Seaport is back in a big way. The Lower Manhattan attraction has undergone a major makeover and crowds of visitors are already taking notice, arriving by bus, train and boat to shop, dine, catch a concert and bask in some of Manhattan's most striking views. Today, it's difficult to imagine that less than a year ago, Hurricane Sandy forced these historic blocks to a standstill. Even if you were familiar with the Seaport before the storm, its See/Change initiative, a program launched to amp up the area's offerings, is providing even more reasons to visit. A stroll down Pier 17 reveals the eclectic vibe of this storied waterfront stretch: vendors peddle jewelry, gourmet dog treats, macarons and henna tattoos; riders line up for river cruises; and diners fill up on everything from oysters to pigs in a blanket. Read on to discover what else these cobblestone streets have in store.
The retail scene here has something for everyone. Even if you're not in the market for invitations or cards, Bowne & Co., Stationers, operating since 1775, is worth a look just to gaze at the old-fashioned letterpress machines. Further down the pier, The Salty Paw, located in a temporary storefront on Pier 17, takes specialty shopping in a different, four-legged direction, selling treats like dog bones with "I Love NY" written in icing and MetroCard and taxi chew toys. If you need a break from the summer sun, duck inside the three-level shopping center at Pier 17, which houses a blend of bigger-name retailers and smaller, boutique-style shops selling clothes, shoes, bags and other trinkets. On Sunday afternoons between Fulton and Beekman Streets, the Fulton Stall Market sets up shop where the historic Fulton Fish Market served as a community staple from 1822 to 2005. Visitors today stock up on fresh food, snacks and gift items from a rotating selection of vendors. Still, one of the neighborhood's most-striking retail options may be a newly installed, two-story collection of shipping containers, prepped to serve as pop-up shops for new vendors.
Dining and Nightlife
When hunger strikes, the South Street Seaport has several options, from sit-down dining to food carts and stands. The area's latest attraction for foodies is SmorgasBar, located at the corner of South and Front Streets. Find stalls from the likes of Asia Dog, Brooklyn Oyster Party and Red Hook Lobster Pound selling cocktails, beer, wine and signature menu items. Make your selection, then grab a seat at a picnic table lining the block and dig in. Nearby, Fresh Salt, housed in a former smokehouse built in 1885, serves up sharable plates and sandwiches alongside cocktails, beer and wine. When the sun goes down, Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club, located on the north side of Pier 17, is the place to be. About as close as you can get to drinking on the water, this restaurant and bar spans 22,000 partially sand-covered square feet and features light-up couches, foosball, table tennis and a life-size chess board, plus a regular schedule of bands and DJs.
Arts and Entertainment
The South Street Seaport is more than just a place to grab a meal and spend some time shopping. It's also a destination for concerts, film screenings, exhibits and festivals. Still to come this season are Front Row Cinema screenings [PDF] on the turf at Front and Fulton Streets, programming in conjunction with Lower Manhattan's River to River Festival (through July 14), the music-filled Brasil SummerFest (July 21) and the Sound Bites Music Series at the Fulton Stall Market on Sundays in August. And though the South Street Seaport Museum is closed, special children's programming, including sailing lessons and outings, are still taking place. For those looking for a quieter experience, the historic building at 206 Front Street, just steps from SmorgasBar, leads to Cannon's Walk, a courtyard housing a rotating roster of artwork.
On the Water
The scenery here looks just as good—if not better—from the water. At the center of all the action, you'll find kiosks for Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises, sailboat tours from The Clipper City and tickets to board the New York Water Taxi. Historic ships—including the 19th-century schooner Pioneer, Peking, one of the biggest sailing barks in the world, and Ambrose, a lightship used to guide other vessels—are also docked nearby.
With all the action going on around you, it's easy to forget to pause for a minute and take in the sights. Above all the sights and sounds, the deck of Pier 17 affords beautiful views and coin-operated binoculars. To your north stands the Brooklyn Bridge, and to the west, the City's towering skyscrapers paint a picture-perfect scene. Historic ships serve as a centerpiece for the pier.

A room lined with decorative tile can look tired, even tacky, if the tile is old or outdated. When you're working with clients who want to update a room without spending too much money, consider expanding the room's possibilities by working with them to paint the existing ceramic tile.
Removing existing tiles can be costly. If your customers decide to take on this challenge, they'll be dealing with broken ceramic pieces, the expense of repairing existing or applying new drywall, and a room that will be virtually useless for several days or more.
Before you or your clients begin a tile-painting project, there are a few things you should know.
"Don't refinish tile in high-traffic or high-moisture areas," says Steve Revnew, director of marketing, product development at Sherwin-Williams. "Avoid kitchens and bathrooms and focus on areas like mudrooms or laundry rooms."
Almost all ceramic tile can be painted, as long as it's not frequently subjected to water. For instance, you can paint tiles on the wall, floor and countertop, but avoid painting tile that lines a bathtub or shower. Frequent exposure to moisture could cause the newly applied paint to peel almost immediately.
Many experts have qualms about painting tile because the results can vary, depending on the type of tile, the products used to refinish them and the process followed.
"We recommend removing grease, grime, dirt and mold before beginning," says Revnew. "Start by giving the tiles a quick scuffing with sandpaper, and follow up with a good household detergent to clean the surface."
Repair chips, cracks and other surface damage before painting. If using caulk or epoxy to repair damage, give it several days to dry before painting. As with any paint job, use tape to protect areas adjacent to the tile and remember to use safety goggles and a dust mask.
"Once the tiles are prepped, begin with an epoxy or urethane bonding primer," says Revnew. "Epoxy gives greater durability and can be topped with most any painting product after application."
Choose a semigloss or high-gloss paint to refinish tile. Revnew recommends a good quality latex topcoat such as Duration Home® Interior, Harmony® or ProgreeTM 200. If your chosen paint is difficult to spread on the tile, add paint thinner to make the process easier. Refer to the directions on the paint container for recommendations.
After applying the paint, allow two to three days for it to dry. Once the paint has dried, seal the tiles with several coats of clear, water-based urethane. Urethane helps prevent damage from use, such as scrubbing, foot traffic and moisture exposure.
While some contractors and designers are wary of painting tile, others have found satisfying success with the process, when it's done properly. Results can vary depending on products used, geographic location, and the quality and composition of the tiles being altered. Consult a professional contractor if you're unsure about the process.

Thelema is a Greek word meaning "Will". The way that Crowley used the term, he meant *Will* as in a Path that one follows in Life. It has a kinda "higher" feel to it, in that one's life should be spent discovering and then following their "True Will" (cf. *will*, as in a mere fleeting desire or want). Continue reading

PANAMA CITY — As they crossed the stage and got their diplomas Sunday 351 Florida State University Panama City graduates had a special moment.
"Today is the moment in our lives — a snap shot. As an actor, I've learned to appreciate the moments in my life … you can never recapture those moments," said former cast member on "Heat of the Night" Thom Grossom, Jr., who was the guest speaker at the ceremony.
FSU PC held its commencement at the Panama City Marina Sunday afternoon.
The "snap shot" included FSU's College of Applied Studies — which is housed at the local campus — which graduated its first class since its inception three years ago and, perhaps most importantly, hundreds of students became better equipped to enter a competitive workforce.
"It's about having some choice in your destiny, it's about getting to choose the path and appreciate the scenery of the rest of your life," Grossom told graduates.
In taking the scenic route, several graduates say they're choosing to remain within the local scenery.
"I plan on staying in Panama City as long as possible to stay close to family and friends," said 22-year-old Katie Holzer, who received a bachelor's in professional communication.
She said she plans to eventually open a bakery and café in Panama City.
Getting awarded with a master's in corporate communication was Kevin Elliot, 38.

How can we improve plastic recycling ?
Hi everyone!
I am student in plastics engineering and am interested in plastics recycling.
As you probably know, the most popular drawback of plastic is that it's very polluting. The problem is that so much people just throw up plastics scraps into nature, or put it in the ordinary bin, whereas plastic can be recycled. Nowadays, plastic recycling has been well improved and we should continue on that way.
So, I'm looking for ideas which could be developed to encourage people to sort plastic to recycle them in the most optimum way.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

One of the most difficult things is to get people to understand their impact on the environment and give them the ability to make real changes. It's not enough to educate them on the problem - you need to give them a solution that they can easily take part in. I recycle simply because I have a blue recycling bin and a gray trash bin. It's easy for me to do. When I was in NYC, that wasn't the case so I didn't recycle nearly as much. Occasionally my landlord would put out a separate bin out and we would all dump our recycling in there so fast.
There is only so much the public can do to make changes like these. The rest need to slowly start happening with the manufacturers themselves - using less plastic in packaging, giving people alternatives to buying plastic water bottles, etc.Dec 17 2013: Ban plastic... forever. No product should be made that doesn't naturally decompose.
Dec 23 2013: There are plastics that decompose reasonably easily. The most important part is most epoxy resins.
Some products are better made from a non-self-destructing material too, so a wide scale ban is the wrong thing to do. What needs to be cut is frivolous use, such as water bottles, bags, shoes, general purpose clothing.
In most places plastic can be replaced with materials such as glass, fabrics, metals, wood or wood-like products (using epoxy glues).
The main thing plastics have going for them is that they're easy to mass produce by injection moulding. You cannot do that with fabrics or pure wood, but it is possible. The other problem is making the replacement materials light enough. Who wants something that does the same thing but weighs twice as much or is twice as expensive?Dec 17 2013: What? I can be supplied a clean recycled plastic water bottle, but I can't get a clean drink of water from a spigot? Something's not right. Who sold us on the idea of water in a plastic bottle anyway? Follow the money and you'll know.

"Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value."
-Buckminster Fuller
Dec 13 2013: That's a really great quote!Dec 28 2013: the key is kids,,
kids will collect and sort anything if they belive it is in aid of a cause, so a school focused collection drives would be the way forward. the trick is to incentivise the schools to collate it
this could be in the form of "tokens" for each ton of plastic that a school collects redemable for equipment or educational trips and funded either by donations from the recycling companies or preferably the companies creating the surplus plastics, the incentive for the companies is that donations are tax deductable and good for corporate image
it would also be interesting to have items which the schools could buy back or receive in lew of donated plastics, such as play equipment/ picnic benches/ decking etc which are already made from recycled plastics
or even clothing made from recycled plastics, such as jackets, school bags etc
Dec 29 2013: Thanks Charles!
kids could be really involved in such a project.
Nice idea to develop ;)
Tom Preusser
Dec 15 2013: I am an old goat - so my first idea was that goats eat everything, so just have everyone get a goat and the goats will eat the plastic and do the recycling for us (that's supposed to be a joke).

More seriously, in the "olden days" governments wanted to reduce discarded glass, so through legislation they decreed that when you bought a drink that came in a glass bottle the store checkout would add 5 cents (American) for each bottle which would be added on to your bill and be called a bottle deposit. Later on when you finished drinking your bottles you could bring the empties back to the store and get your 5 cents per bottle back - the bottles would go back to the bottler and be reused. A lot of empty bottles never made it back to the store, but kids would earn spare change by scouring all over the place for bottles that they could bring into the store for the 5 cents per bottle deposit.
Aluminum cans proved easier to do than glass because aluminum has relatively high intrinsic value - so most towns have active aluminum recycling available and this is all private sector driven - no government legislation required.
Since plastic has low intrinsic value I suspect you would have to go a route similar to the glass bottle route - that is by legislation put a monetary deposit on plastic containers. To handle the diversity of plastic types you might need a bar code or other type indicator to expedite sorting.
Dec 16 2013: Plastic has a very high intrinsic value, read this study by the university of Waterloo http://www.plastics.ca/_files/file.php?fileid=itemVifKSeNoub&filename=file_Haight_Energy_Value_of_NRP_Study_Final.pdf

Dec 14 2013: Since you are a student in plastics engineering, please read my suggestion below, see if this is practicable.

Is there a possibility that a relatively small recycling plant, conveniently located in the center, or near center of the city, to recycle the plastics and converting, right in the same facility, into some containers or 'utensils" such as combs, forks and knives, etc. using the newly developed 3D printing machine. If this is possible, then people would like to bring only reasonable amount of used plastic bottles, etc. and trade the recyclable materials for some equivalent utensils as a fair trade. Of course, some or all of these plastic utensils could be pre-manufactured, so the "exchange" needs only one trip for the recycle trader.
As you should know that in most of the cities, the municipality hires collecting workers and trucks and other workers, such that the municipality would end up losing money in carrying out the "recycling service". So a free market trading system would be more efficient.
Dec 14 2013: Thanks ! It's such a good idea, I will try to work on it :)Dec 16 2013: Or to take that one step into the future, trade you plastic recyclables for "3D Printer Filament".
(FYI: "3D Printer Filament" looks just like a spool of weed eater line.)
So instead of paying $15 per lb. you can get a cut rate of $10 or less per lb.
Currently people are only printing small one time objects, but in not in the too far off future I can foresee large scale printing projects. Like custom tiles for a restroom or kitchen, personalize mega Lego sets for kids, custom quad-copter frames and blades, etc. etc. etc.
Dec 16 2013: The Filabot is the first attempt at recycling plastics to make 3d printer filament. However, they seem to have been sidetracked somehow and gotten greedy... http://www.filabot.com/
But I'm betting that we'll see the first good product of a system like this within two years.
And people aren't only making small stuff, there have been printed; Guns, clothes, skulls, bikes, shoes, cars and exoskeletons just to mention some.
You can order a gMax today I believe, it prints 16" x 16" x 9" and if that's not enough you can always but a VX4000 which prints 4m x 2m x 1m...
There's also a TED talk from TEDxOjai that aims to print houses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdbJP8Gxqog
Well, there's a ton of stuff out there if you care to google, or you could go to http://www.reddit.com/r/3dprinting to see all kinds of cool stuff.

Dec 16 2013: My idea of recyclable trading FOR utensils is for the convenience of the consumer/plastics owner to have readily useful commodities he can trade for, Most of the people wouldn't need large amount of filament anyway.

Don Anderson
Dec 11 2013: In my area (US Midwest) we have "Single Stream Recycling" AI: all recyclable materials (Paper, plastic, & metal cans) can be placed in the same recycling container. (Plastic bags still need to be separated) This makes it easier to recycle, I have not heard if or how much this is helping.
- +2
PS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-stream_recycling
Personal would love to see and use recycling-exchanges; with a recycling-exchange being a place where you can trade recyclables for near equal amount of building material. AI: empty plastic bottle are traded for plastic chips or sheets, 5-pounds of aluminum cans is traded for 4 pound aluminum bar, etc.
This would encourage people to recycle and learn to build things themselves, like people use to do.
Dec 23 2013: Will trade bottles for wood?
I see a small problem with that system - few people have the tools to actually work in plastic.Dec 11 2013: Here in Oregon recycling is popular. I have a large bin for recycling where we put all paper, cardboard, and certain plastics, and it gets hauled away once a week. The reason we recycle rather than throw this stuff into garbage is that we pay for the garbage (it must fit in one container), while recycling volume is unlimited. If not for the recycling bin, we would need 2 or 3 garbage containers.
A few years ago, recycling company required residents to sort paper, plastic, glass, and scrap metal into separate bins, but now they all can be mixed except glass which is VERY convenient. I agree with Bryan that necessity to sort the junk is a big deterrent for recycling.
There is still a problem - plastic bags cannot be thrown into our home recycling bin. This is a big bummer. Plastic bags make the second largest volume of our waste that does not go into our recycling bin after paper towels. Many grocery stores started to accept plastic bags for recycling. This year, we started to put plastic bags into larger plastic bags instead of throwing them away. Those bundles go into the trunk of our car and when we are at the store, we recycle them. The problem is that we are often driving around with the trunk full of plastic bags for several weeks and forget to recycle them. So, it is still quite inconvenient.
The bottom line of my story - people will use recycling instead of garbage when it will be EASIER and/or CHEAPER for them to recycle than to use garbage. If it takes a special trip somewhere to recycle, very few people would do it. When we had 2 babies, I had to get a larger garbage container from the waste company (diapers) and pay $56 for it instead of $31 or so for the smaller container. I still use the larger container although we don't use diapers any more. $25 is not a huge difference. But if I had to pay $100 more for a larger conatiner, I would, definitely, get a smaller one and get rid of those paper towels as well.Dec 31 2013: This is the Continuation of the comment below this entry
However add in human innovation (Ideas???) and inventiveness; and this mixture could be used to build e.g. artificial reefs incorporating wire mesh to allow coral, to cover them over; blocks for sea walls, to hold back rising sea levels, foundation slabs for construction, the list is only limited by the human imagination.
The outside walls of the solar heated metal vats for melting the plastic could also incorporate pipes, through which sea water would be pumped and heated; this would serve to desalinate the water via distillation, while also supplying steam energy to generate electricity, to be used by the facility.
This brings us to shipping costs; when we consider that shipping costs are already involved in the current practise of dumping western plastic waste, into third world countries; this cannot be said to be an issue.
Sincerely hope this provides a basis; for a flood of related thoughts, comments, and ideas, from TED members.
Cheers CarlDec 31 2013: Before reading this comment in relation to plastic recycling and disposal, it might be worthwhile to use the WWW to refer to such documentaries as Mega Construction, Mega Factories, Mighty Machines etc. and the reason I say this, because it will show that what I am proposing is perfectly reasonable and feasible.
The first step in dealing with the plastic pollution problem, is the organisation of the gathering in of plastic from the environment, and I am sure many TED members will have ideas in this regard; the second or combined step, is to prevent plastic items being disposed of into the environment, e.g. by placing a returnable deposit on all plastic bottles etc. and setting up plastic collection centres. The next step is to build industrial plastic recycling centres on the coastal regions of very hot "sun-drenched" coastal regions, with shipping ports.
These centres would have very large elevated metal vats, preferably made of heat conducting copper or with heat conducting rods passing through the lower part of the vat; the heat supply needed to melt the flakes of plastic being recycled, would be gained from the sun, using multiple concave solar mirrors to focus its rays onto the external surface of the conductive rods, passing through the lower part of the vat.
Below this vat of the resultant molten plastic; industrial sized mixing machinery and vats, would serve to mix the molten plastic with sand, or waste (crushed) concrete and brick from construction sites. The resultant sand and plastic mixture when cooled into e.g. blocks, would then be heavy enough to sink down into the quiet (no currents to cause plastic erosion) deepest areas of the oceans, which are several kilometres deep.

Dec 29 2013: Recycling costs energy. The best way to reduce plastic waste is not using plastics. Bring your own bag to the shop, try to use more organic materials which can easily be composted after use.

The industries should be forced to produce less plastic and think twice before they make products which leave tons of plastic after unpacking the product.
Completely ban plastics is an utopia. I agree that some products need plastic. e.g. cucumbers. The plastic around it makes it that less cucumber becomes waste.

Dec 29 2013: The best way to improve plastic recycling is publicity.Tell people the importance of recycling plastic.Dec 28 2013: this may seem a little far fetched but I was thinking of filling up hundreds - thousands with sand ,gravel or maybe even some other substance ... not sure , then sinking them in the ocean to form a base for a reef . Im not sure if the corals would attach to the plastic may have to punch holes in the bottles so the sand would come out .

Im not a scientist or a biologist just a dreamer , any opinions
Dec 28 2013: the main issue with this would be the chemicals that would leach out of the plactics into the water. but otherwise an interesting idea
Dec 29 2013: and will be eaten by animals before being attached by such a substance
Dec 30 2013: they would not be just floating around on the ocean floor , they would be enclosed in a ss mesh bag then anchored to the floor no chance on getting eaten by a hungry sea,l shark, octopus, etc...Dec 30 2013: not sure of what chems your talking about , we as humans do drink from them and we seem to be safe .
Dec 30 2013: do a little digging on bisphenol A, the levels involved on a bottle by bottle basis are deemed to be safe for consumption, currently
however your idea isnt one bottle at a time, and the lifeforms involved not human
chemical leaching does occur, but usually on a small scale,
as i said your idea does have merit, but its still essentially a pretty landfill, albeit one off shore and out of siteDec 29 2013: What would be the difference between this and landfills? Only that we'd have pollution in the sea instead where it would easily risk getting washed away.
I think that the currently best method of disposal of plastics is in Mike Biddle's idea. We can recycle plastic on a huge scale. http://www.ted.com/talks/mike_biddle.html
Dec 30 2013: the containers could be anchored together to form one giant base maybe enclosed in a stainless steel mesh bag , could easily be anchored to the floor without too much difficulty or cost
Dec 30 2013: While I appreciate the idea of trying to do something good for the ocean I don't think that this is the right way to go.
If we made a steel mesh containing plastic, plastic would still leak out unless the mesh was extremely fine, which would be of great cost. You see, plastic continues to break into smaller and smaller particles through time and those particles would in time leak and be digested by the smaller creatures of the ocean and then proceed to move up the food chain through digestion.
Also the cost of transporting the plastic to ships and then to locations on open sea would indeed be of great cost. And there is no use for any sea creatures of plastic. There is however use for different species of the oceans for different metals like iron and steel.
Some projects around the world are producing iron mesh frames that are then dropped into the ocean, and in time coral reefs grow on them. Thailand has even dropped old tanks (the kind used by the military, not containers) into the ocean to help in the formation of coral reefs.Dec 25 2013: Recycling is not the answer as it still needs fossil fuel, to convert, remould, transport it etc. and the production of plastic is increasing, outstripping recycling and landfill.
The world does not get it!! plastic is purified bitumen/tar/oil solidified, and poisonous to life; and it is constantly recycled in our oceans, as it chokes or poisons sea birds and (On the island of Midway a major breeding ground for the Albatross, every dead bird and dead chick autopsied, had plastic items in their stomachs) and marine life; and as their bodies decompose, it is then released to kill/murder, over and over again.
The Corporate production of cheap nasty plastic crap, is constantly increasing; despite their awareness that plastic is accumulative and disastrous; as nature cannot get rid of it. It is truly a "Corporate Driven Evil" and inhuman obscenity; that there are entire beaches made of plastic granules rather than sand; and smaller granules are being ingested and digested by marine life; which will be forced to evolve to metabolize hydrocarbons in order to survive; then add in Corporate driven petro chemical pollution, ocean acidification, overfishing, and climate change; I do not see much hope for any warm blooded species, as long as these avaricious by proxy genocidal maniacs, are given free reign.
Q. Given. oil has to go through more processes, in order to become plastic, than does petrol which is simply distilled; how its it that we can buy a large moulded and coloured plastic item, for less than we pay for a litre of petrol.
A. Because big businesses can purchase oil and derivatives, for a tiny fraction of the price we have to pay for petrol. To the point; that plastic is so cheap to manufacture, it is now being used to make "trillions" of kids sweet wrappers/sweet bags/sweet containers, each day of the year: All of which end up in landfill, sewers, rivers, and the oceans, and are unneeded, we did not need them 50 years ago; and we need rid of them nowDec 24 2013: I live in Germany since 2011 and I really can see the difference with Italy when we talk about recycling and the answer is..MONEY!
When you go to the supermarket and buy a plastic bottle, you pay it the normal cost + 25 cents for "pfand" = caution. Then it's your choice: you can throw the bottle away and lose your money or bring it back to the store and get your money back.
25 cents sound like nothing, but if you add 25+25+25..at the end of the year it's quite a lot!

Dec 18 2013: Two things that control what and how people do things: Convenience and rewards.
- +1
Make it more convenient to recycle. Most people will not seek out the recycle bin to recycle. More locations need to have more spots to recycle. But not just restaurants and stores either. Lake Michigan is near my home and the areas by the lake are full of garbage. But if more recycling cans/bins were around we could significantly cut down on the litter as well as get more recyclables. Second, people save up cans to get that 5 cents per can. Similar rewards should be given for pastic aterials.Dec 18 2013: Thank you very much for starting this conversation Julie, it's great to see the different approaches being taken to this issue all over the world. Existing approaches that I favour are recycling bins alongisde rubbish bins in the street as well as the home, and the charge on bottles and cans which is refunded if you return the material.
I am working on a project en ce moment on trying to incentivise better social responsibility and behaviour among households. The goal is to formulate an index of how a community performs on a number of variables - percentage of waste recycled, average electricity consumed per household, blood donations, charitable donations, and 3 others - which will allow communities to be ranked on a leaderboard based on how socially responsible they are. Top-performing communities will be rewarded with a periodic prize fund and/or discounts from service providers.
It reflects my belief that a combination of awareness, 'peer pressure'/self-comparison, and financial incentives can improve recycling and other behaviours. A related concept in the utilities field might be of interest to you http://www.ted.com/talks/alex_laskey_how_behavioral_science_can_lower_your_energy_bill.html .

Dec 14 2013: Thank you for sharing ! Very interesting !Dec 11 2013: Ms. Nawfal, I am witness as we all are to this tragic age of disposable products and I commend you on your goals for making this a healthier planet. I would like to suggest two ideas which may be of value to your quest. In Maine we have a refund value for plastic bottles and aluminum can which could be taken to a store put in a machine and a refund slip would appear at the end of the transaction. My other thought is a little more psychological, it would involve getting our roles models out in the public's eye to lead by example. Here in the states many young adults and children have role models be it musicians, athletes and dare I say politicians who they aspire to. Your challenge is noble and I commend you on your choice for it is our present that dictates our future. People such as you give hope to myself and others that apathy for our planet and civilization will one day join the great brains and spirit that we are blessed with .I thank you

Dec 11 2013: My government is earning a lot of money on this... And it's helping...Dec 11 2013: But Pat has a very valid point. Financial gain would be really good for this, then people would think that they were throwing away money, not junk.
In Sweden we have the recycling of cans and plastic bottles and over 98% of all cans and bottles are recycled because throwing them is a huge waste of money (a can costs about $0.15 and a bottle 4 times that).
And the cans that people do throw away are picked up by homeless people, Gothenburg has even made their trash bins two-split, one for the trash and one for the recycling that homeless people can take without needing to go through the trash.
Give the same economic incentive with plastics and we'd see none in the streets or in nature.
Dec 11 2013: You are right guys! Thanks for all your replies.
There is also such a system here, in France : people just pay for each kilo of waste they put in bins.
But what about thinking of something without financial gain ?
The idea of recylcing without sorting seems good, but it's chemically problematic... We have to work on it !
Jimmy Strobl
Dec 11 2013: We're just starting to implement the "pay by kilo" here, it's resulted in much more trash in public spaces and nature... I think the costs are greater then the gains for this, or maybe it's a passing phase...

There's a difference between financial punishment and opportunity for financial gain...Dec 11 2013: I lived in a city that had forced recycling. The efforts to which people would go to avoid it were probably more costly than the effort to do the recycling, but people still did it because they resented government intruding into YET ANOTHER PART OF LIFE. Likewise, since it was government, any entity with political influence found ways to get exempted. Government cannot be trusted.Dec 17 2013: "Financial gain would be really good for this, then people would think that they were throwing away money, not junk."
I got the giggles when I read this because I learnt years ago that our rubbish tips (in New Zealand) had a process of dumping all plastic milk bottles in one area (in the hope that a solution could be found and the plastic easily retrieved) so I could just see the headline "Dump Heist...Robbers steal 52 tonnes of plastic!"

I could empty plastic bottles but with the round odd shapes and small lids, they are only designed for one use.
So what if lot of the plastic packaging could be stacked like Lagos, stuffed with plastic bags and be used to build stuff.

I am Assistant Professor from India, would be able to shell out few ideas on Reverse Logistics On Plastic Management.
Well, my research Topics of Interest..
Please feel free to comment on the above idea and open to discussion.Jan 8 2014: The key word for success is motivation, unfortunately nowadays you can motivate only by rewarding. Here is the answer: reward people for recycling.Jan 8 2014: Recycling is just a way of solution ,not protection. The fundamental way to solve environment problem is not recycling but to protect from concept to daily action.
Jan 8 2014: Plastic not recycling is a bad habit. Bad habit are easy, good habits require forethought, and work. It's easy through marketing to sell bottled water, and ignore the bottles result.
The solution to plastics, is to not make anything out of plastics, that is not recyclable. This can be done, and eventually will be forced to do it, or we suffer big issues. The plastic industry produces unrecyclable plastics, because they can, and no one, no one, is telling or forcing or regulating, not to.
Just ask them, and they will tell you, they will not change until they are made to, period. In Europe, all cars have to be 99% recyclable! there are no piles of dead cars there. It must and will change here, only, when the public, demands, a better habit, of dealing with plastics.
We are now beginning to chock on plastics, our oceans are so dirty from plastics, all animal life has plastics in their stomachs. It is killing the life in all of the oceans.Jan 7 2014: Isn't there some woman in choina who is among the richest in the world, who made her fortune thru recycling?
How about asking HER how to best recycle! That will give us an idea ofhow much money can be made (the profit).
Then make recucling mandatory! If some company or entrepreneur decides that riches are to be made, it will happen!
Everythin g is driven by the bottom line.Jan 7 2014: it's been done. there's even a ted talk on it (search for 'mike biddle'). all that's needed is for governments to build the plants and write the legislation that ensures plastics are collected and recycled.

I love these two young scientists, their idea is brilliant. http://www.ted.com/talks/two_young_scientists_break_down_plastics_with_bacteria.html
As individuals, we can commit to using glass containers and refraining from using any disposable plastics in our daily lives. There is no amount of recycling we could do to reverse the damage. Correction must be done at the production factory level. When we keep on consuming, factories will keep on producing. So a great start is stopping our buying on our end :)
What really changed me is:
http://www.veoh.com/watch/v19503065BjnYRBr7?h1=Manufactured+LandscapesJan 6 2014: I saw a system of recycling based on rewards. In this city, there was a monthly charge for trash removal. Then a new recycle can was issued with with instructions that recycled materials in these cans would not be charged for removal. And since most residents would need smaller cans for regular trash, the charge would be reduced. It was about half. There was an estimated 85% compliance with the new program.
The city sorted metal, glass, plastics and paper from the recycle cans and the sale of these products about covered the cost of the program.
Would these program work everywhere? I think so. The only weakness is the marketability of the sorted products.Jan 4 2014: /
Hi Julie
I particularly like the simple effective smiley face speed trap, which works so well for speeding traffic in school zones. People need immediate positive feedback, even competitive prompts (the plastics recycled from your neighbor three houses down weighed X amount and yours weighs Y amount. Or have kids get caught "green handed" and even a green stamp or sticker for recognition as a badge of pride. Bonus points at local retailers may work wonders.
As far as techniques are concerned, there seems to be a few methods that are worth doing. Dianna Cohen mentions how poisonous the by-products of plastics recycling can be.
Amy Lou Jenkins writes a decent summary of the TED talk with a patented 30-step system used by Mike Biddle here:
http://www.examiner.com/article/mike-biddle-can-recyle-plastic-new-ted-talk-expands-the-possibilitiesJan 3 2014: Like it or not, people generally always take the path of least resistance. I work in the public sector and often see people propose all sorts of ideas requiring people to do various things on their end, but the bottom line is that if something is complicated or requires a lot of time, people won't do it. Do I take half an hour from my busy day to drive to a battery recycling center as the law requires, or do I just hide my dead batteries in the rubbish? Most people choose the latter (fortunately, we have a battery recycling bin at work).
For plastic recycling, we need to rely more on the manufacturers of plastic than on the users of that plastic. The sad truth is most people won't spend a lot of time separating their plastics into various numbered bins. However, if manufacturers make plastic more standardized, this won't matter. It can all just be recycled together.Dec 31 2013: Hi Julie!
I'm very much interested in your viewpoint on plastics.
Have you seen this? http://www.ted.com/talks/mike_biddle.html
or the other 3 particularly relevant talks on the same link?
What do you think of thermo catalytic depolymerisation as it relates to plastic waste disposal?
when plastics are recycled, does the new product have as much quality as products made from virgin plastic? for how many generations? do you think it would be possible now or in the near future to use recycled plastic indefinitely over and over?
My thoughts on plastic recycling is that the different colored recycling bins are very effective. Here in India, there are people who come to your house and weigh recyclable materials and pay you for it by weight. I don't know if plastic is included in that or what the price is since I give all my recyclable to a homeless guy.
I really think that the whole idea of landfill should be reevaluated into a "sorted holding area for non biodegradables"
Julie Nawfal
Jan 1 2014: This summer, I made a training in a company which recycles all the production's waste. As I saw, you can recycle plastic indefinitely, but the recycled plastic wasn't used totally in the production : it was used for 70% maximum in the raw materials (70% of recycled plastic and 30% of virgin plastic, colored plastic etc.). We are able nowadays to make products with 100% recycled plastic.
- +1
For the problem of quality, it's true that recycled plastic has not the same quality as virgin plastic (it's still a good one). That's why we need to improve plastic recycling. We need only 16 plastic bottles to make a pullover !Dec 31 2013: Maybe heat dissolution is one way ,but which cost too much .
Dec 31 2013: Solar energy costs nothing; plus you have desalination of sea water to pure water, and steam energy electricity generation as a by product and bonusDec 30 2013: At Greenbuild this year (Philadephia), the carpet tile company, Inteface, did an amazing presentation on how they're harvesting abandoned fishing nets in the Philippines and other Pacific areas and converting them to carpet fiber. The whole story is pretty amazing, and has so many impacts that are positive for the people. Banking, jobs, recycling, cleaning up the ocean, International relations, zoological society work, and beyond. Link here: https://www.facebook.com/InterfaceAmericas/app_578933638794319
Perhaps similar programs could be created and implemented to reclaim other plastics from roadsides and other undesirable areas. There would be harvesters, central collection points, markets identified and logistics including shipping taken care of. Ambitious, but interesting I think.Dec 30 2013: I would say that as as lot of people have been saying the key issue is in awareness. More people are taking an interest in saving energy but the true benefits of recycling are less clear. So I would suggest a labelling system similar to the nutritional information that has become a law to include in the UK there could be a colour coded system informing the consumer of the carbon footprint of the product, although a new measuring system may be usefull as I have no idea how much 38grams of carbon really is. Or you could do the opposite and inform people how much energy they are saving if they recycle the item but put in terms of everyday things like how long you could power a light bulb or phone for. Putting either of these on the packaging would make it much more difficult to ignore so might help encourage poeple to recycle. But I am not an expert just a design student with an interest in eco friendly design.Dec 30 2013: I write a blog with theoretic leads and solutions to hundreds of humanitarian problems. One of these is about a modal for B-grade vegetables and fruits, to coock them. Well for this I needed plastic at bottom prices so I thought recycling plastic. Well I figurred it is good if certain products their plastic become the same good for easy recycling, and ths to collect specificly. It is pure wilderness at this stage, it needs to uniform plastic packedging.
Dec 30 2013: As a plastics engineering student, you know more about the molecular properties of plastics, so maybe you would know better. Can all plastis be regulated so that they all have at least one similar property enabling them to be manipulated better after they have been produced? I have found it frustrating that most of the plastic used to produce usable structural products cannot effectively be glued together with out remelting or expensive glueing procedures and products. The plastic I like to work with the most is PVC as it has an easy and cheap way of gluing it so as enabling me to remake structures with it. This would enable people to repurpose many plastic products that would otherwise be discarded because the products shape no longer serves its purpose. For example, I recently used old plastic laundry tubs to build a modular portable hydroponics system. one of the challenges was finding ways to fasten other plastic parts to the tubs because the plastic used to make the tubs was not pvc but another form of plastic that I couldn't find any "affordable" ways to glue anything to it with good strong bonds. I was able to accomplish my design due in large part to my selection of the preformed tubs already had most of the functional forms molded into it already and the other penetrations and attachments were done with mechanical fittings. So, perhaps regulating the plastics industry to formulate them so as they can all be rebuilt easier, remolded or at least find a cheap glue that works on them all.Dec 30 2013: We should use the advantage of plastic that is it last for long time in environment. We can make non useful things to use full by creativity. By using plastic we can make furniture, momentos, doors etc so many things......

Buy doing this we can use the plastic as well as we can create employment in in this filed.....

Choose from top brands including: Action Crash, Genuine, APA/URO Parts, Dorman, Febi, Rancho, Crown Automotive, Pro Comp Suspension and Rugged Ridge.
On a day-to-day basis, most drivers can feel confident that the bottom of their vehicle is in no danger of being more or less scraped off by passing pavement. With the exception of the occasional mishap on a driveway or speed bump, the bottom of your car is more or less protected from damage. If you drive a vehicle that regularly heads off-road, however, you can benefit from a skid plate. This add-on component is a relatively flat steel sheet that protects parts in the undercarriage from damage. Think about it: as you pass over uneven terrain, your oil pan, gas tank, transfer case, and exhaust system can be struck and thoroughly beaten up by rocks, bumps, and uneven patches. If youre upgrading a vehicle to be taken off-road, then, this component is absolutely critical. You may also find use for this component if you have lowered your vehicle significantly, making it more likely that you will come crashing into the ground unexpectedly. For this and any other automotive components, remember to visit PartsGeek.com, where youll find a great selection and great prices.
A car's Dorma Skid Plate is a heavy-gauge metal plate welded to the underneath of your vehicle and is supposed to prevent damage to the bottom of the vehicle.

Was a little nervous that this wouldn't work on car due to being folded in half twice, but let warm up out of the shipping box AND WENT ON LIKE A CHARM!! THANK YOU FOR HAVING VERY REASONABLE PRICES!!!!
Very good prices and service
Precise fit at a great price.
Have been looking for this part for weeks. Thanks to partsgeek that they have it. Fits perfectly with no problems. Second time I bought an item from partsgeek and they never fail to impress me. Highly competitive prices and super fast shipping.
I took a chance and I am happy with the part.
But was surprised because when I gave the part number and description of the car your people were asking me the model and all the descriptions. When I give the part number for VW there should be an yes or no answer.
Good price
Great fit

Hi there everyone
I've been wondering this for a while, but why has there not been a Discworld game since Noir in 2000?
Does anyone know of any games currently in development?
Moderators: Tonyblack, Jason, Toothy
Tonyblack wrote:I'm not aware of any plans. Have you tried contacting the company and asking them?
I have to say that your post sounds almost like an advert for GOG.com. If I'm wrong about that I apologise.
Tapasko wrote:Are there any chances that we would see a Discworld 1, 2 and noir on GOG? They are a store that is dedicated to older PC games and every game they sell is DRM-Free, so you don't hassle with online activation or any other thing like that. Also they fix the older title's so that they will run well in modern operating systems.
They are already selling Broken Sword games and Sierra's older point'n click adventure game and i would love see Discworld games appearing on their store.
