Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you love Fashion and are serious of being part of the Fashion World. Parsons is to Fashion, like Harvard is to Law. No. one in my book.
Tips for prospective students I would encourage any future student to enroll in the summer program at Parsons. its one month, but you are on the go from day one. and you will really know whether Parsons is the school for you.
Bang for the buck My parents spent the funds to send me there, because they wanted to make sure I would accept the NYC lifestyle. I loved it.
Did enjoy being here The Dorm was nice,I learned to live with two other girls,who were very nice and I made a friend from Sweden for Life!
Did learn a lot I attend the summer intensive course this year (2011), I worked hard,long hours, but loved every second . My drawings from day one to the last day improved 1000%, recieved a B+

Categories Comments Campus Safety Security 24-hours in the buildings. They are pretty nice and let us do our homework etc. Just here to protect us from non-students entering.
Clubs and Activities I see a lot of clubs and activities, internships etc. Unfortunately I'm so busy with homework and 2 jobs that I can't do them. But plenty of opportunities for activities.
Great for these types of students Who love to do homework!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The fire drills kinda make me laugh, because it disrupts the class but the guys who organized it were very nice and told us they wanted to keep us safe which was appreciated.
Bang for the buck This school is expensive but I didn't get into FIT and I wanted the recognition so I got it. I do feel like I'm learning in the end result, its not where you learn, how you learn but if and what you learn because ultimately you need to understand what you are learning. I do however feel that its harder for me to learn since I have to work 2 jobs and go to school full time.
Food and Dining No Idea, live off campus. But I'll rate the food around the campus. Lots of options since its in the Garment District.
Dorm Life No idea live in an apartment off-campus
Academic Rigor I do feel challenged, even as a person who has some familiarity with fabric. I definitely think that these programs weed out the shallow and less hard-working students.
Tips for prospective students Be prepared to do a lot of homework!
In three sentences Great, I'm learning all the foundation concepts for my major.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The security gaurds are always on campus and I feel extremely safe. There are always signs up warning students of upcoming events that may interfere with our schooling, for example a hurricane was to hit NYC and they emailed us of some safety precautions to be aware of and/or if school were to be cancelled. The communication and awareness at Parsons is always up-to-date and that makes me feel like I can feel safe at school and not have to worry.
Greek Life Other than different groups and/or activities there is no real Greek Life but this in one positive aspect offers all of us to come together and to work hard and make the most of our school expierence by involving ourselves with school and a professional career at a New York state of mind.
Clubs and Activities Parsons offers many clubs and activities you will never feel alone or bored! They even welcome students to create new groups which inspires new ideas and events.
Great for these types of students The fashion dept. is mainly in the NYC fashion district so you are always around that kind of environment. It's central to all of the fabric company's so if you ever need anything for projects its at your footsteps. When you have a lot of classes, work, internships, homework,etc. it's impt. to have time and convienence at your side!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The fashion dept. is seperated from the rest of the departments/academics offered at Parsons, which can be somewhat annoying b/c I'd like to involve myself with other people and see what they are doing. However, some classes are required at the other location at 14th street and 5th avenue, which than I can communicate and interact with non-fashion students. All in all it is a great community at the school whereever you are.
Bang for the buck You get what you pay for at Parsons; meaning it is an expensive school but the education and opportunities given to you and all of it happening in New York City is worth the funding.
What to do for fun Parsons has so many group activities, they offer low priced tickets to professional baseball and football games, you can attend college games and cheer for your team. They also offer group picnics, weekend trips, community groups to get involved in like student government. I thoroughly enjoy working with career servicees b/c they help me get information about internships and career events to attend so that I can meet people already in the fashion business.
Food and Dining I have not experienced any of the food and dining at Parsons, however being in New York there are so many convienent stores around the classrooms I can always find something that is open and that serves healthy food!
Dorm Life I have not experienced the dorm life myself, however I have had friends who lived in various Parsons dorms for different academic majors, all of which have been positive responses. They loved the communial atmosphere which helped them with friendships, projects and future business connections. The rooms are clean and have everything a student would need while attending Parsons.
Academic Rigor This school is very strict on it's late or no absence policy, for example 3 missed classes is grounds for failure in a class and 1 missed class during summer is an automatic fail. This is rigorous but important, because a lot of information is given during class and you can easily fall behind if missing a class. The school grounds is safe and clean and I respect there strict guidelines b/c I feel I am getting the most out of a school that expects the best, at a professional level.
Tips for prospective students Get all the information you can by speaking to your advisor and the financial aid department before you get started in school and as you progress. These departments and advisors are great mentors and give great guidence that will help you financially, mentally be prepared for a career and help in know all the facts to ensure the students and parents are getting the best out of Parsons.
In three sentences Parsons is a high end school that offers a resonable sized student to teacher ratio. I gained a lot of information in the one semester I attended and find that I have evolved as a student that is preparing for my career in fashion. I am able to focus on not only my degree but all other aspects of the fashion buisness by being at Parsons and it's location in New York City.

Great for these types of students artistic, hipster, hard working, city-lovers.
What to do for fun eating out (nyc is full of places), yoga, whatever you can think of the city probably has it!
Tips for prospective students work really hard and never wait until the last minute. it is extremely competitive so try your very best and take every chance you get at an internship!
In three sentences this is a great school especially for fashion and it is conveniently located in new york city, where many fashion companies are located. there are many opportunities for jobs and internships.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Despite what you may have heard, NYC is a safe place to live. I came from a small town hearing horror stories about the dangers of New York, and have been pleasantly surprised at how safe it is. You cannot get into the school buildings without an ID, and there are security guards at the door. Because the city never shuts down, there are always people around. Most school buildings are within a block or two of the subway, making transportation convenient. I have never felt unsafe walking around at night in NYC. The rule of thumb is to just always be aware of your surroundings.
What to do for fun New York City is like no other place in the county, and there is never a shortage of things to do. The only problem is choosing what to do! Surprisingly, many of the activities are cheap or free. Look at http://www.timeout.com/newyork for things to do, though it usually only takes a short walk down the street to find something.
Food and Dining The food is unmatched in New York City, because you can get delicious, authentic food from all over the world. It is, however, fairly expensive. The key is to balance the pricy meals with packing your own lunch and snacks for between classes. There are also cheap options, like slices of pizza and the food carts, which have great, fast meals for fairly cheap.
Dorm Life The dorms are extremely expensive, though a great option if you are coming out of state and unfamiliar with the area. The dorms provide a great home away from home, and a solid community out of the classroom. Space is limited, but perfectly comfortable and doable. Plenty of clothing storage is provided, and some dorms even have kitchens!
Academic Rigor Parsons academic environment is very competitive, though collaborative. Most likely, at least 50% of your peers will be international, so you will be working with the best of the best from all over the world. The environment is very fast-pace, challenging, and fun. There is no stopping points during the semester. You will work harder than you ever worked, but will most likely have had a great time doing it, so it is worth it. The professors will challenge you beyond your own expectations, so it is up to you to take it to the next level. Parsons integrates critical partnership opportunities that will provide you with real-world experience. Make connections, and NETWORK! These partnerships will prove to be very valuable throughout your time at Parsons, and afterwards.
Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to be different! Parsons welcomes students that aim to shape the next generation of the design field, which is evolving into something that it wasn't before. In your personal statement, don't be afraid to mention the frustrations you've experienced with the field, and how you can address the new challenges that arise.
In three sentences Parsons is one of the best non-traditional design schools in the country, focusing on intense collaboration with your peers and external partners. The school is very competitive, though welcomes students with sharp, creative minds that are not afraid to initiate change. Parsons design will force you to explore the limits of design in theory and practice in a challenging atmosphere.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Financially, it is a bit over-priced given the amount of space and facilities students have to learn and make art. However, this is probably due to its prime location in the city.
Am enjoying being here As Parsons is located in the center of New York City, its culture is pretty much merged with the entire city culture. The school makes use of the unique qualities in New York to inspire students. Most of the social activities happen in the city rather than on actual parsons campus areas, which makes it always an exciting and new experience.
Am learning a lot Parsons provides a very all-rounded curriculum for its students in foundation year to prepare them in establishing strong portfolio with basic skills and concepts in design, such as hues and values, composition, adobe software skills, volume and space.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Well the area is union square, so there's lots that goes on. You can be in times square in matter of minutes. There's lots to see, very busy, lots of activities.
Food and Dining They have the meal plan but i don't intend to take the meal plan hopefully I won't have to. With meal plan it'll cost a lot for my dorms.
Dorm Life Again I have not check out the dorms, this summer though i'm going to see what the dorms are like. For your dreams though you have to be up for anything and be able to adjust to your surroundings. They have security surveillance all the time so you will be very protected.
Academic Rigor I have not yet began the school, but they seem pretty strict on school work. When I was taking a tour the girl told me that she would have an hour of homework for each class. Though, it makes sense it's one of the best art and design school in America.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you know what you want to be before going to this school. If your there just for a try out that's not so great. It's probably best you go to community college first and see your options. If you know what you to be then by all means sign up this school.
In three sentences I definately think that parsons is the school for me. It's filled with upcoming designers and such. The only obvious thing is that the tuition is super expensive.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are lots of free activities: movie screenings, rock climbing, and even ski trips!
Food and Dining Lang is the best for sushi. Always go to Arnold hall for the best hot food- you won't even know a lot of it is vegetarian/vegan! All the food containers are also compostable!
Dorm Life Nice dorms but SUPER expensive. But great if you don't know the area.
Academic Rigor Time management is key, but there is a lot of work.
Tips for prospective students Work on your portfolio! I worked for two years on mine, so I could submit only my best work. Prepare to work hard too, your professors only want your best.
In three sentences Parsons is really geared towards creative people. You don't need talent to go here, just potential. You must always be willing to learn and have an open mind.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Everywhere you go in the city!
Food and Dining They almost dont have a cafeteria.
Dorm Life Very expensive, yet you make great friends
Academic Rigor Compare to other top art schools, Parsons' studio classes aren't the toughest, yet its still tough enough for you to worry about deficiency of sleep and nutrition.
Tips for prospective students Prepare many and a variety of different ideas, and be sure to create individuality.
In three sentences A great design school that focuses greatly on concept creativity, commercial and business intended career, as well as many great opportunities offered by the city. The school also has strong bias on its fashion department.

Categories Comments Campus Safety You must always be on a personal lookout for your own safety but over all security cameras and law enforcements bombard the surrounded area.
Greek Life There is none in Parsons.
Great for these types of students Fashion, Illustation desighn, and Architectual desighn.
What to do for fun For fun i sit down and do nothing. My mind is constantly moving with thoughts project ideas, along with balancing family relationships ans school. And being so determined i cannot rest until i complete each innovative task. This is good because seldom i find myself two steps in front of everyone else but i never have time to relax. So when all is done i love to go to the park and just walk around of lye down, and think only about the beautiful scenery.
Food and Dining With a meal card you are set. The cafeteria is always stocked with all kinds of fresh food, whether you are a vegan, vegetarian, or someone like me who enjoys their turkey sandwiches. Dining outside of campus is no hassle at all. Their are restaurants just minutes away that will not burn a whole through your wallet.
Dorm Life Resources are a short walk away. Study, social and studio space are always available. Although each floor mush share a compact bathroom the rooms are pretty spacious, mindful that they are primarily used for sleeping.
Academic Rigor If you like to challenge yourself, be inspires mat a constant rate, and have to opportunity to learn with hands on projects Parsons is the perfect school for you. The staff is more than experienced, the city is diverse and frankly, clean and safe, and the dorms offer countless resources.
Tips for prospective students Before arriving at Parsons it is recommended that you become familiar with the vibrant city, which if not investigated can become a bit overwhelming, especially during classes. Come into school with an open mind, meeting new people, and seeing brand knew things is inevitable; it is best to take these knew things and be willing to let them inspire you. Overall, stay focused and have a list of priorities. As fun as the school is we must forget that it is intern a very competitive and demanding environment.
In three sentences Basically, Parsons is ideal for anyone looking for an nontraditional college experience! The rules regarding attendance are strict because here you cant just take notes to learn; everything is hands on. The campus is surrounded by life and diversity inside a city that never sleeps*

Categories Comments Campus Safety It's not that it isn't safe. It's that there isn't really a campus. The city is your campus.
Greek Life None.
Clubs and Activities They exist.
Bang for the buck Because of the location, it can feel like you are throwing money away.
What to do for fun ... it's New York City. Let your imagination run wild, because you can find anything. Don't be afraid to take the subway out to Coney Island, Central Park, or whatever. Just get out there.
Food and Dining Just small cafes in different buildings that you can use the dining dollars at which come with the dorms. Nothing too special.
Dorm Life It really is overpriced given the quality of and the living situation in the dorms. But, Loeb, Stuy, and 13th Street dorms are within walking distance of most of the buildings, which is fantastic.
Academic Rigor Projects will consumer your life, especially during freshmen year. Be prepared for the biggest lessons in time management that could ever exist.
Tips for prospective students Really assess your finances. New York is an expensive place to be, and you are going to either work work your tailend off or be emptying bank accounts to keep up.
In three sentences First of all, it is in the heart of New York City! The location and available connections with big names might be the biggest reason to go here. Besides that, it is a very solid art and design school, though expensive.

In three sentences Parsons, so far, has been very challenging, but incredibly rewarding. I have loved the work I have produced and, more importantly, have become really comfortable and confident in views as an artist. I have really matured as a student and illustrator during my short time here.

Greek Life No greek life.
Clubs and Activities Not many clubs or sports teams but the dorm and the university host many activities.
Great for these types of students Artsy, quirky, adventurous people.
What to do for fun Hang out around the city, go to galleries or visit the museum. Attend the many free events around the school and the seminars too.
Food and Dining The cafeterias offer food for any preference and diet, whether you might be vegan or not. They offer breakfast and many different lunch options.
Dorm Life Quiet and no parties in the dorms since the parties happen in apartments in the city.
Academic Rigor Every day homework that requires 2+ hours.
Tips for prospective students The work load is rigorous and it requires attention to detail. But don't worry, the teachers are very much available after class hours to help with whatever you need.
In three sentences A diverse enviroment where creativity is always at work. Also there are very great teachers who help with your creative process. Ideas are always being exchanged.

Categories Comments Campus Safety You can get into some buildings without IDs. Overall good security at dorms and most buildings.
Clubs and Activities Very inactive, even with the few clubs in the school, the Greek Life here is non-existant.
Great for these types of students LGBT
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Small and crowded elevators...
Bang for the buck Overpriced. But as a great man once said college education is how much you put in it. You can attend Harvard and never be active with the school activities
What to do for fun We are a fashion school...parties, girls, alcohol.
Food and Dining Meal plan is a bit overpriced, but it is decent food. Plus, its NYC, there is food literally every 20 feet.
Dorm Life Dorms are somewhat old, except for the new University Center that is being built right now. Other than that, some dorms are very low class, compared to residency you can find with the amount you will be paying.
Academic Rigor Again, terrible first year program. Suitable for people with no design background, but horrible for people who has taken introductory courses already,
Tips for prospective students Try not to antagonize your roommates, as your life in any college will become fun if you have close roommates. Do not procrastinate. Parsons is not a hard school, at least not first year, if you do everything on time. Wait till the last night, then yes, you will not get sleep.
In three sentences A somewhat selective school, based off of mostly wealth and somewhat talent, with a terrible first year program that is being reformed. Definitely one of the best Fashion Design schools in the world. However, there are many improvements that can be done with the extremely easy first year.

Greek Life no greek life we are not your typical college.
Clubs and Activities I dont have time for clubs but we have plenty for students who are interested.
Great for these types of students People who know what they want to do and are passionate about learning.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus You will always experience sleepless nights due to all the hard work.
Bang for the buck It is very expensive but so worth it in the end.
What to do for fun Their is an endless supply of things to do here at Parsons, if you have nothing to do in NYC you are obviously doing something wrong.
Food and Dining normal college food but yu are in NYC so you can go to any resturaunt you want to.
Dorm Life I mean your in NYC. Dorms are small like usual but liveable.
Academic Rigor Lots of sleepless nights but worth it cause you are doing what you always wanted to do.
Tips for prospective students Work hard, sleep is for the weak, and have fun.
In three sentences One of the most innovative and creative colleges in the world. You are guaranteed a job in you field within 3 months after graduation. Parsons is on of the best design schools in the world

Categories Comments What to do for fun For fun, I like to go hang out at coffee shops around campus or go to the galleries in Chelsea area (which is also only a walking-distance away from campus).
Food and Dining The food in school is not that great. Even so, there are a lot of affordable cafes and restaurants around the campus, so it's not really a big problem.
Dorm Life To be honest, The New School doesn't really have a great dorm life. However, I can't deny that the location of most of the dorms are walking distance from campus and everywhere else.
Academic Rigor Parsons is the best design school in the United States. The work load is a lot, but it will surely prepare you for your future. You'll be ready for what you're going to face in the future.
Tips for prospective students I only have one thing to say to all prospective students out there. If you want to learn about art and design, this is the place to be. Not just because what the school's known for, but also it is because of its location (NYC). It is the centre of the art and design world. You'll get easy access to big corporations or companies out there.
In three sentences Parsons offers learning experiences that you will never get anywhere else. All of the faculties are the expert in their fields. However, the most important of all, the school will provide you with all these great opportunities that you will never find anywhere else.

Categories Comments Greek Life There is currently no Greek Life at The New School, but there have been talks about trying to start it up.
Great for these types of students Parsons is great for students who are: -More independent -Want a very urban college experience -Want to work in creative industries -Who are looking for internship experience they may not as easily get at other universities.
What to do for fun The school sends out newsletters by email about different campus activities regularly and they're always really fun cool things that you can do in New York but for a very discounted student price. Being in New York you have access to almost anything you'd like to do. There's always a lot of great restaurants to try out, if you're 21 the bars in the East Village are an NYC college students favorite places to go, there's always somewhere you can go to listen to live music, and all the museums which are always great to go to. Also being a New School student you get free access to the MoMa and the movies they show at the museum on Friday nights.
Food and Dining The food at all of the cafeteria locations I think is good especially for it being college campus dining food. They always have a variety of options for the students to choose from, especially for students who are vegan or vegetarian.
Dorm Life Dorm life at The New School is okay, but I feel you pay too much for what you're actually getting. The RA's and RHD are usually always really nice, friendly, and helpful if you need anything. They also do plan a lot of activities for its residents to create a sense of community in the dorm building. I think the biggest plus though about living in the dorms is you get to meet people from all of the other schools apart of The New School and not just Parsons students.
Academic Rigor Parsons has a very heavy course load from the moment you start as a freshmen. I personally have been basically taking the maximum credit limit you can take in a semester every year since I began attending Parsons, and I know the same goes for many of my peers.
Tips for prospective students -This is a great school for those who don't want a typical college experience since it's located right in downtown Manhattan, but if you're looking for a university that's big on campus life and such The New School lacks in this. -If you're very serious about wanting to go into the creative industries this school is one of the best to go to because of all the opportunities and connections you can make by being at this school and in New York in general. -If money is a big factor for choosing a school don't necessarily rule out Parsons but weigh your options seriously because this school isn't the greatest about giving its students good financial aid which causes a lot of stress.
In three sentences Parsons: The New School for Design being apart of The New School University institution is all about being innovative and thinking outside of the box. Parsons and The New School in general is where all types from all backgrounds comes together in this interesting little melting pot where you can learn from great classmates as well as your professors. This is a school that will work you extremely hard but the benefits you reap from it are well worth it.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Homework....homework annnnnd anything local. There tends to be cool things going on at Union Square and towards the holiday season, traveling uptown towards Bryant Park is fun.
Food and Dining The meal plan is somewhat ridiculous-most people had over $200 left unspent. I was not on that either-the food in the cafeteria wasn't worth it. You're located by Union Square-there's better things to dine on within the area.
Dorm Life I didn't dorm so I only can share what I witnessed and was told. There are a lot of free perks that come with it including a gym, fitness classes, group events and parties in the rec. hall, and so on-but there tends to be conflict of hygiene. Try not to take the staircase alone in the Stuy Residence though you might have to because their elevator always breaks down.
Academic Rigor If you aren't a student that can settle for less, blood, sweat and tears are what it's going to take to soar above the rest. The professors here really push your skills to pro. standards.
Tips for prospective students If you truly believe art is your career choice, be prepared to work as hard as any other liberal major. Projects due within 2 weeks, equipment and supplies to be bought every other day to accommodate a professors preferences, and those dreaded moments when you have to scrap an idea at the last minute. Art is no cakewalk!
In three sentences Truly the New York experience and I'm from New York! The best place for aspiring artists. Will make or break you within the first year.

Clubs and Activities The clubs here are amazing. They focus on helping the community and making the school better and better. The students are passionate and want to be in the clubs.
Great for these types of students Great for students who have an idea of what they want to do in the future. This school isn't for the faint of heart. Art students will love the focus of art rather than math or science.
Bang for the buck Tuition is quite pricey here but with all it gives you, I say it's worth it. You're prepared for more than one career so you have well-rounded skills. This is perfect for our ever changing world. The school sometimes has it's disorganization but overall, it's a fantastic school.
What to do for fun Fun is all around you here. Just walking distance from Union Square Park, there is always something to do. You could go shopping or go biking. Coffee houses are all around if you and some friends want to just sit and hang out. There are also tons of clubs and recreation centers within the school.
Food and Dining The food here is specially prepared by a chef who keeps a student's health in mind. The first day I arrived to the school check-in, he introduced himself to me and promised that all the food here was fresh, organic, and nutritious.
Dorm Life The dorms are beautiful here! Living in NYC, you don't expect to have anything big but the dorms here, especially in Kerrey Hall, are spacious and fancy.
Academic Rigor This school was definitely meant to challenge you. It does get hard at times but if you keep up it'll be okay.
Tips for prospective students Stay on top of your work! The minimum requirement here is 18 hours for the first year so make sure you keep school as a top priority. It may be in NYC, but you can't get too sucked into the fun.
In three sentences This school is a great for an art student who wants a different approach on teaching. Keeping their promise on being progressive, the faculty always keeps the students alert and engaged instead of long, boring lectures.

Government Support Energizes China's PV Market
Government Support Energizes China's PV Market
China's PV industry keeps growing
By Melody Song, SEMI PV Group, China
The Chinese New Year is here. Most businesses and factories in China are closed to celebrate this most important traditional holiday. However, for many solar companies, the production lines will be up and running, some even at full capacity. This is quite a different scene from a year ago when Chinese solar companies had to shut down their lines and let the workers go home due to a sudden drop in demand and tremendous inventory buildup.
Chinese companies have recovered from last year's slump as global demand rebounded. Many companies enjoyed abundant new orders and some achieved record profit due to their low cost strategy. Preliminary data indicates that last year Chinese cell/module makers doubled their 2008 level to reach 8,000MW solar cell capacity and produced over 4,000MW solar cells, representing 40% of the global total production. During 2009, more companies have chosen the vertical integration strategy. Many companies have moved downstream to the project development sector.
Rooftop subsidy and Golden Sun ignite domestic PV market
Chinese solar companies still rely heavily on foreign markets. The industry felt a massive blow at the end of 2008 when overseas orders stopped coming in. Government realized the importance of revitalizing China's PV industry and understood that developing a domestic market for PV is an important step. To jumpstart the country's PV market, the Ministry of Finance, together with the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development introduced a national subsidy program in March 2009 to promote the use of BIPV applications and rooftop systems. The program would give a fixed upfront subsidy of 15-20 yuan per watt of installation. The response to this program was overwhelming. More than 500MW applications were received within two months of the program's announcement. By November 2009, 91MW of installations received government approval. All of China's leading PV companies participated in this program. Suntech was the biggest winner with almost 20% of the total approved projects.
The BIPV and rooftop subsidy program was the turning point of China's PV market. However, the government soon understood that the industry needed much more help. In July, the Finance Ministry, together with the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Energy Administration of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) unveiled the second national PV subsidy program, the Golden Sun Program, which would subsidize 600MW of PV demonstration projects in the next two to three years. The government would subsidize 50-70% of the total installation costs. By November 2009, China has chosen 304 projects totaling 643MW to benefit from the Golden Sun subsidy. Among them, 261 projects are BIPV and rooftop installations totaling 290MW, 35 are utility-scale PV power plant projects totaling 296MW, and 18 off-grid projects totaling 46MW to be built in remote regions.
A national feed-in tariff for PV
Rooftop and Golden Sun subsidy programs were temporary measures taken by China government to help the PV industry cope with an unprecedented industry's downturn. To support a sustained market demand, China government has also been considering an incentive scheme similar to those used in Europe, the feed-in tariff subsidy.
It was widely expected that a national FIT would be in place by the end of last year. However, statements by government officials now indicate that it could take another two or more years to hammer out the details of the FIT. The complexity of a national FIT in China cannot be underestimated. The government is clearly trying hard to lay out the groundwork for such a policy.
China's wind industry struggled many years before a wind FIT was finally established last July. The government employed a bidding process for most wind projects before introducing the wind FIT. An important objective of the bidding practice was to understand the true cost of wind generation. When it comes to solar, government seems to have decided to take the same approach. Last year, the government solicited bids for a 10MW Dunhuang demonstration project. Solar companies were so eager to win that some submitted bids regardless of project economics. The government rejected the lowest bid and eventually accepted 1.09 yuan ($0.15) per kilowatt-hour as the FIT for the Dunhuang project. The winning bid was made by a joint venture of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation, Best Solar and Enfinity.
Many experts questioned whether the project developer could make any profit at all with 1.09 yuan FIT. Some government officials even expressed similar concerns. As the first government solar project up for bidding and China's first PV project of this size, the significance of the 10MW Dunhuang project is perhaps more than just financial returns for the bidders.
It appears that China government will continue using small scale and more targeted incentive programs, at least in the near term. In January, the central government asked eight provinces and autonomous regions best suited for solar energy to submit their PV projects and will soon start the second round of bidding process. Each project should be between 10-50MW, and each region should have a cap of 100MW. Hopefully, China will learn a great deal from these projects and move closer to a national FIT.
New energy stimulus plan - a 30GW domestic PV market by 2020
Premier Wen Jiabao told the Copenhagen climate change summit that between 2005 and 2008, renewable energy increased by 51% in China, representing an annual growth rate of 14.7%. China is indeed taking big stride in the development of renewable energy. As an official effort to boost clean energy development and fight climate change, China has been working on a new energy stimulus plan. A Chinese government official recently said that the much anticipated new energy stimulus plan will be finalized and could be released right after Chinese New Year. A draft plan is with the NDRC for final revision before submission to the State Council for final approval. The draft plan raised national PV installation target to 20GW from 1.8GW stipulated in the current national plan.
The delay of the stimulus plan is partially because the new energy industry, including wind, PV, and others, has been growing much faster than expected. While a national FIT policy has yet to be established, the expectation has spurred the construction and installation of solar projects throughout China. Aggregating every project announcement in hand yields a sum of 12GW of PV projects in various stages of development throughout the country. PV companies, state-owned power companies, banks, and energy investors have been actively forming alliances and signing contracts with local governments, trying to secure a place in a potentially huge market.
For instance, Suntech and China Energy Conservation Investment Corporation, a state-owned company focusing on energy investment and a leader in renewable energy investment, has formed a joint venture to develop PV projects in various regions in China. The first phase 10MW of a 50MW project in Ningxia Shizuishan was already completed and connected to grid. Here is another example. Canadian Solar has formed a strategic cooperation with China's Guodian Power, one of China's largest power generation companies, to jointly build, own, and operate solar projects, totaling 500MW by 2012. The joint venture has already signed letters of intent with government of Gansu, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia.
Not only domestic players, foreign companies are also eyeing China's PV market. First Solar, for instance, signed an agreement last September with Chinese government to build a 2,000MW solar farm in China's Inner Mongolia.
At the end of last year, China set a goal of reducing its carbon waste per unit of GDP by 40-45% from the 2005 level. China has also promised the world to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in the primary energy use to 15% by year 2020. There are speculations that the government would further raise the total PV capacity to 30GW in the new energy stimulus plan in order to achieve those targets.
30GW by 2020 is an attainable goal. Last year at this time, the SEMI China PV Advisory Committee issued a white paper, "China's Solar Future – a Preliminary Report on a Recommended China PV Policy Roadmap". In this white paper, the Committee called for an accelerated adoption of PV in China to reach about 30GW installation by year 2020. It also laid out a PV installation roadmap with clear annual target up to year 2020.
Government strong support continue to drive China's PV market
China is making great efforts to optimize the country's energy structure and expedite the development of renewable energy, and as Chinese PV companies busy filing up orders, they must all get ready to copy with a number of hurdles. Designing and implementing the right subsidy programs, a segmented electricity grid system that needs to be "smart" and "strong", difficulties in connecting with the grid, the growing sentiment of trade protection in other nations, lack of core and innovative technologies, fraud in project application process, to name just a few.
Even with the concerns, there is no doubt that China will find a way. Historically, China's government has played a central role in the country's energy sector. This will also be the case for PV development. Last December, China's top legislature adopted an amendment to the renewable energy law to require electricity grid companies to buy all the power produced by renewable energy generators, including PV. Companies that violate this law will face fines. Last month, China established a new government agency, the National Energy Commission, to centralize energy policy and help steer planning development. Premier Wen Jiabao will head the new agency. All these recent moves clearly indicate China government's determination to aid the country's fledgling renewable energy industry.

You are correct that Atelier games are supposed to be time management, and the Al Revis and Iris games were a step in a different direction.
Personally, the whole point of not telling you how to get the true ending, is that nothing like that should EVER be discussed in-game. That's putting cheats inside of the game. Which isn't fair for people who don't want that, and want to figure out how to get the true-end themselves.
The best way to play the game, is to just play it. Don't use a guide, don't expect any one ending. Just enjoy the game and make choices as you go. Then, when you get the ending, it will be 'your ending', and not something you manipulated to get.
Course, that's a very hard mindset to work with. And it REALLY doesn't help if you're a trophy hunter.
Either way, this is the way Atelier games are meant to be, and I really quite like it ~

When you are a parent there is nothing better than seeing your kid happy. Sometimes this can cause parents to spoil their children in an attempt to make them smile, but if it's a genuine happiness there is simply nothing better. When Maggie wanted a power wheel we let her pick out the color so she could enjoy it more. When she got her first bicycle we let her pick out the style and now that she is turning thirteen it is time for her to get braces, which she will also pick out. On our last visit to the family dentist we had "the talk" with her about getting braces and let me tell yo she was none too pleased by the idea. She pleaded that she shouldn't have to get braces because none of us wore braces and that it didn't seem fair to her. We explained that at one point or another everyone in the family wore braces but they come off after a while so that's why you can't see them anymore.
Luckily our dentist gave us a pamphlet on Invisalign braces for us to look through. Like most things in Maggie's life, we want her to make the decision so she knows what it's like to live with consequences and how to properly think things through. Of course we already knew from the instant she saw the Invisalign braces, that she would choose those, but we went through the process of drawing up the pros and cons for he anyway. When all was said and done the list of "pros" far outweighed the list of cons and the decision that was already made was officially made.
A few of the issues at hand for us and for Maggie were comfort, looks, and duration of time needed to wear the braces. For each of these categories the Invisalign braces won hands down and there was really no competition. I know if I was a kid today and someone gave me the choice between wearing something nearly invisible to having a bunch of metal and cement put in my mouth the choice would be easy. What Maggie really liked was the fact that the Invisalign braces would be undetectable to her friends (better yet, the people at school she doesn't consider to be friends). For a girl going through puberty and having to worry about a thousand other things on a daily basis, I completely understand that.
Our dentist made her feel very confident about the decision by revealing that she used to wear the Invisalign braces and now she has a nearly perfect smile. She showed us a close up picture of her when she was wearing the braces and we couldn't even tell! It's quite remarkable how hard they are to see unless you look very close and know what you are looking for. It's times like that when I thank the stars we chose such a great kids dentist to go to all those years ago.

GoPro Resolution Preference
I know this has been talked about here and there, but haven't found a dedicated thread to it. I just got a new GoPro Hero 2 and took it out for the first time a few days ago. I kept it as a helmet mount on 1080p-30 all day. A couple things I noticed: POV footage is boring, unless you're doing tree runs/theres good powder or you're doing gnarly shit. 1080p 30 seemed choppy to me, I just found out there was a firmware update and hopefully that will help, but I'm wondering if the frame rate is just too slow for fast-action shit? So I started playing around, and both 720-60 and 960-48 seemed a lot smoother to me, and for some reason the image seemed higher quality???
So i'm wondering what you guys use when you shoot. Also, a bigger vertical capture would be nice, 948 provides the best for this? Take care, Nate |

If I'm shooting general footage like touristing, laid back snowboarding with girlfriend, backpacking, vacation\blog crap like that 1080p is allot sharper and should be smoother than normal standard def TV(which is 24fps)
If I'm shooting other people snowboarding, who I know will be doing shit worth putting in slow motion then I'll shoot 720p\60 , 720p\30 is a good compromise if you have a weaker computer or have limited memory card space probably easier on the battery as well. Good luck and don't forget to post your footage in the media section!

i always use 720-60 and when you say the footage is choppy do you mean it kinda skips some frames? if so then thats your computer and not the setting. possibly need more ram or a better processor. either way you should still be able to edit the footage and once you upload it it should look fine even if choppy when watching the raw footage on your computer.

Tour openers can be anxious occasions, but you'd never have guessed it had you been at Colorado's 1st Bank Center Wednesday night for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' first show of their 2012 Tour.
Tom and the band strode on stage just after 9 pm to a standing ovation from the relatively intimate 6,500-seat-capacity arena and promptly ripped into "Listen to Her Heart," the first song in a nearly two-and-a-half hour show that found the rock legends covering material from throughout their storied career.
Mixing old classics like "Here Comes My Girl" and "I Won't Back Down" with rarities like "Something Big" off Hard Promises and "Spike" off Southern Accents, Tom and the guys were on top of their game and having a great time digging deep into their catalogue to the great pleasure of the fans at 1st Bank. Not to be left out, the band rocked four songs off Mojo, the highlight of which was the sublime "Something Good Comin'" that had the crowd standing in stunned silence.
Night two at 1st Bank is up next, and then we head east to Little Rock!

there was definetly something good coming for this show what a setlist. He dug down deep for this show the best setlist i have ever heard him play.KEEP THE GOOD SONGS COMING GUYS
what a killer setlist for the first show of the world tour they dug deep into the tracks for this show great show guys. i knew there was something good coming
Hey man, don't be an asshole, people are just trying to share their love of Tom Petty. Music is open to interpretation, trust me.
sspence put your head in a bucket of water and take a deep breath
expert you are NOT!!!
TPATH ROCKED the house last nite in Broomfield! Best Petty show I've seen in 33 yrs! Nice mix of classic and current - would still have loved more deep tracks but the band looked and sounded great! Poor Scott had alot of technical issues going on but no worries, we couldnt hear them! Wish I was staying another nite to see them again!
WOW That was the best TPATH show I've seen since the rmid 80's! Why? Tom and the boys are on top of their game, they can still bring it and it was the best set I have ever heard. Deep and satisfying. Be back tomorrow night tpathrob
driving in the sunset
driving in the sunset...This is one of the best songs from MOJO. It was a long time after MOJO came out before I listened to MOJO. MOJO needs to be handled in bite sizes because they were expecting classic Tom Petty or a poppier Tom Petty. It is harder to access unless you are a big Tom Petty fan.
A comparison between dogs on the run and southern accents...
Dogs on the run.....this is the deepest end of the south that Tom Petty ever goes. Arguably southern accents..Southern accents chronicles life growing up in the South, Tom Petty's adolescence. This song cuts to the heart of it, it is straight in the heart of it.
Southern accents....this is definitely Tom Petty reflecting on his childhood. I think this song is just accessible as Dogs on the run. As deep as they go in life in the South they are as easily accessible. Dogs on the run is more pop/rockish and Southern accents is more mellow but they both talk about Tom Petty's roots. This song in particular helps me understand Tom Petty's worldview. This is his chronicled life in the South.
Come to Summerfest Tom!
I know your tour is over in late June but we would sure love to see you and the boys do Summerfest this year when you get back! It is just not the same when you guys arn't there! I believe it will still be going on July 13th & 14th being the last weekend of the fest! That would give you guys about a two week break before coming to beautiful Milwaukee! You guys are the "House Band" and it would make my summer and a lot of others as well! I thought about going to Georgia but it is just too far and would cost me almost $300 in tickets alone not to mention gas, food and lodging & a day off work! All I can say it is just where you guys belong & I know you guys arn't getting any younger & I'm worried I will never see you guys again. Anyway hope your tour goes well & be carefull leaving amsterdam with any goodies! This time smoke all your Hash before you leave! I guess I will just have to pray that you come!
anyway you can have a show somewhere like the wiltern for you real fans? That have been in your fan club for all these years.
sure it's all set up already.
Either way see you when you get here!
by the way having jagger sing a song with you would be so amazing! HISTORY!

Rated 4 out of 5 by deca Nice but not for me
The jacket is pretty, true to size,warm and the details simple which makes it a timeless piece but the fit was too odd on me- I'm tall, skinny but 36D and, even though it fit well, the new "shrunken fit" isn't for my body type-not tight, just weird proportions that didn't look right so I returned it. 4 star b/c of the fit, otherwise it is a perfectly good jacket for a more "fashion forward" woman who is more used to the new look. Oh, btw, you can't un-fold the lapels as shown in the pic...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Birdygirl Absolutely beautiful !
The fit is exactly modern, comfortable and will remain a staple in my closet for years to come. A comfortable weight with a little bit of give, I will wear this with a t-shirt, collard shirt.....anything.

Advisory sign |
Six local beaches in Charlotte County were included in beach advisories issued last week on Monday, Oct. 17, but all warnings were lifted on Monday, Oct. 24.
From the north end of Manasota Key at Englewood Beach North to the beach at the Boca Grande Club, all showed bacterial contamination.
Weekly collected samples showed high concentrations of enteric (intestinal) bacteria.
On the south end of the island at Sea Grape Colony, the water had moderate amounts of enteric bacteria, but not in high enough concentrations to post advisory warnings.
Experts at the Florida Wildlife Commission say that red tide still lingers enough to tickle the nose and elicit an occasional cough, though it's not as bad as it was. To check on the status of your favorite neighborhood beach, go to doh.state.fl.us.

In a society that pushes for everyone to have more, be more, and do more, our children quickly get swept into the rapid pace of life that seems impossible to resist. Our over-stimulated world exists as juxtaposition to the inherent needs of a child whose development is best supported by a simple, consistent routine.
This Colorado weather is very unpredictable. Last Tuesday night it was close to zero, and the next day fifty degrees. Wonderful, except we need moisture; lots of snow and rain. It is supposed to snow again next week. It will be worth it to have the water.
