Lovely aluminum furniture that will last hundreds of years

"Highly Sustainable"
Bollocks dude. While making a piece of furniture or product last more than five years is commendable, it is only one little piece of the whole "sustainable" picture. Your stuff is "Moderately Sustainable" at best. Put a giant aluminium smelter in your back forty and see how green you think it is then, especially after you get your coal fired electricity bill.
Plus I don't get the pride in having no fasteners. That means your table has to be shipped in a big, table sized box that takes up more truck/boat space, therefore using more fuel. It takes more skill to design something that comes apart and ships flat then just taking laser cut legs and welding them on.
So sorry, but I call bullshit.
And from what I understand, Iceland doesn't have a working wholly powered geothermal smelter yet, but Alcoa did build a giant ass dam in a pristine wilderness area to power one of theirs. Now 80% of the countries total energy generation goes to smelters.

Wow, that explains a lot about Shelton. It is currently a cesspool of meth and domestic violence, and this document sheds a little light on the history that could of led to it's current state...

I am sitting at my desk in the US Science Pavilion as I am typing this(now known as the Pacific Science Center). It all looks pretty much the same outside as it did back then. We find cards and pamphlets and artwork in the tunnels beneath the buildings from the worlds fair all the time. Some people use some of the original Eames chairs from the fair as well.
Thankfully the Christian Pavilion is no longer there. It is now a children's theater.
The Space Needle used to be orange? WTF?

I just read a comment on a news site from a person that was a row up from the woman and child in this story. They heard everything and saw it all play out first hand and agreed with the pilots decision. It seems that the flight attendant did show a lot of patience and the mother did not have the ability to keep her child safely buckled in, so the plane turned back to keep them and the rest of the passengers safe. I don't see the problem. Parents need to accept responsibility for their children, disabled or not. It is one of those annoying facts of being a parent.
