I bought myself and the wife a single game ticket back when Sproles was running all over the place...the game was vs. Missouri before they were any good. Anyhow, it was cold as eff and standing actually helped keep warm a little bit. People behind us kept yelling for people to sit down. Well, a Missouri fan was in front of us and they FINALLY scored and he was all jumping around excited. So I mockingly yelled for him to sit down. He turned to me and said that this is one of the few times he could be excited and to let him have his moment. I told him I was just kidding. True story.You should write a tell-all book.
I honestly don't think Tressel would come here if OB resigned also.warm up the urban meyer to ohio state rumors
You're missing the bigger picture...Tressel is available.
Texas can't beat us at anything.Seriously, Texas, what's our taint smell like? I'm pretty sure it smells fresh, but still, it must feel degrading with your nose in our young, rich crotch.
ANYTHING!!!
Currie truly "gets it", doesn't he? What a wonderful man.Quote"It's not just football. LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium is an icon of Kansas State University, of Manhattan and the state of Kansas. When people ride down Kimball Avenue and see our stadium, there are some aspects of it that are highly functional and really great, and there are also some aspects of it that don't reflect the beauty of our campus, that don't reflect the beauty of Anderson Hall or Hale Library. We need to gradually look at making sure we fit."

niceI'd like an umbrella, but I have absolutely no clue on where to buy one.You mean all automobiles don't come with them standard inside of the door?
austin box was a dick, pretty glad he's dead. (not the "ok_cat" character talking)deets, give them up pleez.
known the little shithead since he was a little kid. of all the crap he did in his life, his daddy finally couldn't pay his way out of this one.
LOL @ two countries optimisitically hoping they can get up to 40% from renewables, the earliest by 2020 (won't happen). Also no mention how much will be from solar, guessing not much. They are most likely talking about biomass plants.My initial source:
http://www.solar-facts-and-advice.com/solar-investments.htmlQuoteFor example: First Solar (FSLR) – (up 4,685%) and Trina Solar (TSL) – (up 1,774%) during 2010 have both had good years – and investors who got in early are no doubt very happy they did so.
This just keeps getting more interesting
Apparently google searching for some quick information has its limitations.
Not a big deal. Whatever happens to First Solar in the future, it will always live on as part of goEMAW folklore right up there with the Amare Camp and the selection committee.
First Solar's a giant in the industry. It's not going anywhere. Like I said, though, the solar industry is going through a transition phase right now, and a lot of the smaller companies will start to consolidate with companies like First Solar in the future.
If this was 2001, beems would be investing his entire 401k in Enron.
First of all, I would never pour all of my money into one stock. Diversifying investments is one of the first things you learn about in economics/finance. Second, pretty much everyone who follows the energy market will tell you that solar energy is the way of the future. It's not a matter of "if." It's a matter of "when."
I'm with Ben...I think solar (and other renewables) are coming; the rest of the world industrialized world is banking on it. Below is a link to an NPR story from the other day, there was a blurb about Germany and Japan moving away from nuclear, and abandoning large nuclear projects that had been in the pipeline, and getting upto 40% from renewable energy, the majority of which is solar. <Like most things, the US will probably lag behind...>

All power will grow in the coming years becauseThe sun casts enough energy on the world to power humans super easy, but I'd like a raise of hands from all the respects in class that think we're anywhere remotely close to having it a viable option to supply enough electricity. Anyone besides Ben? There are so many reasons why we're nowhere close to it being realistic. Like, not in our lifetime without a major advancement in technology. If you think we can find a cheap, reliable way to collect the power above the clouds, relay it to ground level without major losses and can store that energy for the dark hours, then yeah, we’re really close.
Right now, the best are concentrated solar power plants in the world are only supplementary for peak hours and only worth a damn if they are in a super sunny part of the world like deserts (which most of the population in the world don't live). The best design I’ve come across are parabolic mirrored troughs with piped oil running down the focal point. This oil gets heated to 500* or thereabouts. Some of this oil gets stored in insulated banks while some goes on to make steam and then recirculated through the troughs. After the sun starts going down, you pump the stored oil out to make steam. It’s a great design, but still won’t work for all hours and sure as eff doesn’t have an solar panels.
This.
I don't expect solar power to be used as a replacement for fossil fuels, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the solar power industry grows in the coming years. Europe has a very vocal environmentalist community, and renewable energy is stressed heavily. Renewable energy infrastructure will only grow in the United States, as well, but not as fast as it will in Europe.
Looks good, yo.It's cloudy and a poor picture.

Speaking as someone who works in the power industry, no it won't. At least not from current solar cell technology. Sink your massive trust fund into it if you're so sure, though.Lots of green energy companies up here in the Northwest. I highly recommend investing in solar power before it explodes in the next several years.
omg(I love you beems)
Can we move this to the "investment advice I have heard from my grandfather, people older than him and tons of other people over the past 25 years" thread?
Not to get political, but the landscape would currently be a lot different if George W. Dumbsh*t wasn't in office for eight years throwing our country's future into the toilet. By 2025 (optimistically), solar power will be much more integrated into our energy grid.
Yeah, nice choice in a masters program, Beemz.I guess Manhattan's cool if you like Riley rats, chewing tobacco, country music, belt buckles, and the smell of farm animals.
Look at you, narrow-minded Beems, grouping an entire community of people together by generalizations.
It's okay. He wasn't rich enough to go to grad school like some of us.
I'm getting a masters in environmental economics at Oregon, dumbass.
Which costs less: dumping my toxic waste in the local wildlife reserve or going "green"?
