Wear your warm coats, because we're setting up outdoors for some live electronic music in the parking lot of NTR for a Happy Hour Concert on Thursday, October 6th from 5-7pm. Come enjoy some tasty beverages in crisp autumn air along with live Electronic Music performances from:
Check out Tleilaxu's latest album bornagain as a free download from UnfoundSound Records. Wrapping up our show is our headlining acts, all the way from Europe on their first U.S. tour…
Toktek (Tom Verbruggen) &
Simon Berz
toktek (Holland) and Simon Berz (Switzerland) battle it out in supercharged music session. Playing their self-made electronic instruments/interfaces, they turn pure human emotion and body language into sound that results in a spasmic, sweaty conversation between toktek, Simon and their machines.

This is a Free, All Ages Event!

For customers still putting their faith in a high-protein, low-carb diet, here's how you can up the protein beyond the ordinary.
The truth about weight loss is that there is no one truth, and the answer is that there is more than one answer. The discussion can't be reduced to high-fat/low-carb versus high-carb/low-fat. The complex carbohydrates in vegetables, fruits and grains have sustained the human race since there was a human race. Unfortunately, complex carbohydrate foods have largely fallen out of favor, to be replaced by simple carbohydrates found in white flour, sugar and fructose.
That said, you may have customers who ask you to menu items that are allowed on high-protein diets. After all, we have been hunting and eating meat for eons; our incisors are not there by chance.
To hike up the protein, remember that high protein is not all beef and eggs. Seafood fits perfectly into the low-carb, high-protein menu category. Per serving, most seafood is lower in fat than meat or eggs. This makes seafood the perfect menu item for customers attempting to keep their intake of calories and carbs low and their protein high.
Easy does it: High-protein seafood does not mean dry or flavorless offerings. Simply broiling fish steaks, fillets or butterflied shrimp or lobster tail, or sea scallops with a maitre d'hotel butter (butter seasoned with chopped fresh parsley and lemon) or other savory compound butters (think of whipped butter seasoned with cayenne or red pepper flakes, chopped basil and lemon or cracked black pepper and garlic), makes for a savory low-carb entrée.
Other simple preparations include stovetop poaching in court bouillon or oven poaching in parchment. Think about salmon steamed with lemon and olive oil, flavored with thyme, black pepper and lemon zest; roasted red snapper seasoned with fresh cilantro, rosemary and oregano; grilled sea bass with Cajun seasonings; grilled catfish with charred Southwestern spices; pecan-crusted halibut; paupiettes of salmon with shrimp mousseline, or steamed black bass with mustard vinaigrette.
For cold seafood salads, hold the pasta and potatoes and add the chopped hard-cooked eggs, flavored mayonnaise-based dressings and a small vegetable garnish. Think of cold poached salmon and halibut salad, shrimp and crab salad, mussel and shrimp salad, chilled ahi and crab salad, or chilled monkfish salad.
Heat it up: Low-carb Mexican cuisine can be tantalizing. Select from hard and soft cheeses, whole eggs and egg whites, poultry and seafood, olives and fresh and dried seasonings.
Go nutty: While not very, very low in carbs, nuts and seeds are a healthy ingredient to use, in moderation, when looking to add flavor and texture to high-protein snacks, sauces, desserts and salad dressings.
Nuts and seeds are certainly portable and convenient and are available all year round. Most nuts are concentrated sources of vitamins and minerals. Yes, nuts and seeds have lots of calories from fat. But nuts are not just fat calories. Most varieties contain protein, fiber, folic acid and some fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin E, and minerals, such as calcium and iron.
The fat that the nuts have is polyunsaturated and monounsaturated—the heart-healthy kind. If you feel the need for something luscious and creamy, nuts are the way to go. To give you an idea: the USDA allows 2 ounces of nuts or 3 Tablespoons of peanut butter in place of a serving of meat or cheese for the school lunch program.
When selecting high-protein ingredients, remember that soy nuts are not "nuts" are all, but roasted soybeans.
You can purchase flavored soy nuts and soy nut butters, to use in sandwiches, snacks, smoothies and desserts. Soy nuts should be OK for people with nut allergies. As always, read the label.

Why can't we use our emotions?
No, s'part of the problem with holistic thinking.
No matter how seemingly pointless or unfair or outrageous our threescore and 10, this is all but a blink against the great equalizer of eternity. "What we do in life echoes (forever) in eternity", and maybe so do we, if we can stand ourselves.
Quetz, no...well...sort of.
It is holistic listening from which selective and exact action can be directed.
Our emotions are behavioural appendages. We don't have to react to what our fingers do instinctively to stimuli. We can select the articulation.
I am saying that this can be done with emotions. You can select the emotion to evoke for use rather than reacting to what emotions arrive to you.
Your means of interaction, however, are on the right line of thinking as the evocation, being human, requires something by which is the reference frame to provoke the desired emotion to be used.
Like a method actor, but not for pretend.
I assume you didn't intend this, but her emotions appear to be fake to the point of caricature. Something to be cautious of, perhaps.
Jayson wrote:Emotions are a state, not objects of our self.
They are a state in which our nervous system is entered into within a moment of time.
Controlling the body can also be controlling the self, but that is another issue. Once you decide that this or that emotion is not right now, even through it is your natural reaction, then you have a split. One part of you judging another part of you - the emotional centers - as being wrong.Think on that youtube clip of Sherlock Holmes boxing that I cited in the other thread in response to you there.
Each move was not an object; it was what his bundle of nerves, muscle, and bone were articulating into in one moment of time after another.
I am sure people can do this, I just think they are treating themselves abusively.It may sound unpredictable and crazy, but essentially, you would flip to outrage from serene and back if so wanting.
Thank you. I can't say it is at all that gentle, but I have found that no longer suppressing, remolding, judging, stopping, stifling emotions has made me feel more like a unified being. It feels right.What I understand you to be saying, however, is that you enjoy simply letting yourself move as a leaf falling in the wind in regards to the emotions.
I won't contest, nor suggest that you shouldn't.

Another Benghazi Tragedy The GOP Will Blame On Hillary
BENGHAZI, Libya — An American chemistry teacher was shot to death while out jogging Thursday, according to colleagues and officials at the English-language school where he taught.
The shooting took place not far from the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi where Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens died, along with three other Americans, in an attack in September 2012.

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan and producer Max McClellan have taken leaves of absence from the network — the latest fallout from a controversial "60 Minutes" story that has now been discredited. The story featured an interview with Dylan Davies, a man who said he witnessed much of the Benghazi attack. However, the version of events he shared on "60 Minutes" differed from what he previously told authorities.

Kultur Shock
Kultur Shock
Throw together a pair of Bosnians, a couple of Bulgarians, three Americans, and a bassist from Japan and you've got culture shock. Or at least Kultur Shock, the Seattle-based band who freely mix punk and metal with Balkan brass. Leader Gino Yevdjevich became a professional musician in his native Sarajevo when he was 16, making a good living playing commercial music. All that changed in 1991, when the war in the former Yugoslavia began. With no money and precious little food or electricity, the local artistic community made art for itself -- and found it well received as locals braved snipers and bombs to get out of their houses. However, he left for the U.S. in 1994 under the sponsorship of singer Joan Baez and ended up in Seattle starring in a play with music about the Sarajevo conflict, Behind God's Back. The band Kultur Shock came after the play closed, playing acoustic music in restaurants. Advised by Krist Novoselic (who has his own Croatian roots in the Balkans) to play louder, they began doing so -- and found themselves thrown out of the restaurants. After a brief hiatus, they returned to play Seattle clubs with guitarist Mario Butkovich, who'd been persuaded to move from his new home in Portland. Brad Houser (New Bohemians, Critters Buggin') took the bass slot, with Amy Denio and Jessica Lurie filling out the horn section. In 1999, they recorded and self-released Kultur Shock Live in Amerika, which documented the outfit at the first full stage of their development. While the music they played was all traditional, the treatment of it certainly wasn't, with loud electric guitars complementing the twist-and-turn horn lines. It was, Yevdjevich admitted, "a party album," and though often impressive, it didn't do them full justice. Changes in personnel ensued. Houser left, to be replaced with Masa Kobayashi from Tokyo, and a second guitarist, Bulgarian Val Kiossovski. With that lineup, they began to make their first studio record, along the way signing with Kool Arrow, the label run by Faith No More's Billy Gould, and continuing to play local gigs as well as touring up and down the West Coast. The album, FUCC the I.N.S., appeared in late 2001, followed by Kultura-Diktatura in 2004 and We Came to Take Your Jobs Away in 2006. ~ Chris Nickson, Rovi

I used to buy canned chicken broth with nary a thought. Then a friend made some black bean soup with homemade stock and I realized how much better my own soups would be if I chucked the cans. (I also became increasingly concerned about the chemicals in the lining of the cans, but that's another story.) So for a few years now I've been freezing my own stock to use when I want to make soup.
But over the holidays I used up my stash of frozen stock, so last week when I made chicken soup I had to start from scratch. What I'd forgotten, however, was the little problem of de-greasing it. The best way to do this is to make it one day and let it cool overnight in the fridge. The fat will congeal on the top in a yellowish, Crisco-like layer (yummy, I know). Then it can be quickly and easily lifted off for a soup that tastes better and is healthier for your heart.
What to do if you run out of time and don't have hours to let the soup cool in the fridge? As my kids and I learned last week, a snow drift works fine, too. We put the stock pot (uncovered) in the snow on our patio, moving its position as the snow around it melted. In about 30 minutes, the fat had risen and could be skimmed off the top!

Sangamo BioSciences Announces Presentation At The Stifel Nicolaus 2012 Healthcare Conference
RICHMOND, Calif., Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGMO) announced today that Edward Lanphier, Sangamo's president and CEO, will provide an update on the progress of Sangamo's ZFP Therapeutic® development programs and an overview of the company's business strategy at 3:50 pm ET on Thursday, September 6, 2012, at the Stifel Nicolaus Healthcare Conference which will be held in New York City.
The presentation will be webcast live and may be accessed via a link on the Sangamo BioSciences website in the Investor Relations section http://investor.sangamo.com/index.cfm under Events and Presentations. The presentation will be archived on the Sangamo website for two weeks after the event.
About Sangamo
Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. is focused on research and development of novel DNA-binding proteins for therapeutic gene regulation and genome editing. The Company has ongoing Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel ZFP Therapeutic® for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Sangamo's other therapeutic programs are focused on monogenic diseases, including hemophilia and hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, and a program in Huntington's disease. Sangamo's core competencies enable the engineering of a class of DNA-binding proteins known as zinc finger DNA-binding proteins (ZFPs). Engineering of ZFPs that recognize a specific DNA sequence enables the creation of sequence-specific ZFP Nucleases (ZFNs) for gene modification and ZFP transcription factors (ZFP TFs) that can control gene expression and, consequently, cell function. Sangamo has entered into a strategic collaboration with Shire AG to develop therapeutics for hemophilia, Huntington's disease and other monogenic diseases and has established strategic partnerships with companies in non-therapeutic applications of its technology including Dow AgroSciences and Sigma-Aldrich Corporation.

While reducing the U.S. budget deficit and living within our means represent moral values, it is also a moral imperative to save vulnerable children from death, hunger and the effects of disaster. The United States can do both. We can get our fiscal house in order and continue funding for global humanitarian programs that make up less than 1 percent of the total federal budget.
The United States' global humanitarian programs are some of the most cost-effective, life-saving programs within the federal budget. For the small cost of a malaria bed net, a vaccine, a meal, or some medication, the life of a parent or child can be saved. These funds are often leveraging private resources, which makes them even more cost-effective. There are few places within the federal budget where cuts could directly translate to lives being lost. The International Affairs budget is one of those places.

Many of these programs are the only beacon of hope that exists in desperate places like the famine-struck Horn of Africa where 12 million people are at risk.
An important American value is the belief that all people are "created equal" and "have value" because they are created in the image of God. This is an important theme in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. It was also a major theme when President Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt advocated for the passage of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. The promotion of human rights and humanitarian causes like disasters or the global AIDS crisis has been a cornerstone of American foreign policy representing the best of American values.
A major success story around both private and public international assistance has been in the reduction of preventable deaths in children under the age of five. In 1960, more than 20 million children died yearly of preventable causes. Two years ago, that figure was 9.1 million. Just this month, a new report showed this number was reduced to 7.6 million children. That's an incredible 60 percent decrease in preventable child deaths, in part because of these programs.
It makes no sense to cut programs that do the right thing and represent the best of American values.

In this compelling portrait of the internationally recognized artist Ai Weiwei, filmmaker Alison Klayman presents an insightful look at China and its transition in a digital age. Klayman followed the outspoken artist over the course of several years, and deftly interweaves the larger themes of art, social justice, free speech and participatory democracy in the film. Small details captured in the film demonstrate a nuanced understanding of the subject.

CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley: Inside Syria
A gripping series of daily news reports from inside the deadly conflict in Syria
Clarissa Ward bravely reported on what was happening inside Syria's dangerous and largely inaccessible insurgent strongholds despite government efforts to keep foreign journalists away. To report this extraordinary series of nine stories, Ward entered Syria posing as a tourist carrying only a small camera. She gave viewers the rare opportunity to meet the people behind the shaky cell phone videos posted on YouTube. With deliberate and straightforward reporting, Ward provided riveting details about activists and regular citizens as their struggle brought Syria to the brink of civil war. Her discussions with CBS News Anchor Scott Pelley added depth and context to her courageous reporting.

Embedded with the Mexican army, CSI teams, and the local police night after night, the team documented execution-style killings and gang shootouts as well as conducted candid interviews with young kids in gangs. Policies on both sides of the border that fuel the bloodshed are explored with clear and accessible writing including the vital role of lax gun laws in the U.S. and the resulting gun trafficking into Mexico.

KCET, Southern California
"SoCal Connected: Courting Disaster"
Important reporting on the consequences of budget cuts to Los Angeles' court system and their devastating impact on families
When KCET's SoCal Connected was granted unprecedented access to the Los Angeles Dependency Court where the fates of hundreds of children are determined every day, they found an already overburdened court system that was being pushed to a breaking point by $650 million in state budget cuts. It was the first time a camera had been allowed in to film the daily proceedings that showed staggering caseloads. Judges had only minutes to decide issues of custody and foster care. Interviews with those struggling through the system were handled with care and respect. Well-written and edited, this important story clearly illustrated the real impact budget cuts are having on families in California.

"Desert Underwater"
An ambitious series of reports that exposed the root causes and repercussions of Nevada's ongoing mortgage crisis
For this exemplary series about the ongoing foreclosure crisis that has hit Nevada harder than any other state in the country, KLAS committed significant time and resources. Starting with a two-week long news series with reports in every newscast, they continued with a comprehensive hour-long special report and a massive online resource base culled from financial reports and government statistics, including practical information to help homeowners navigate the brutal foreclosure process. In clear language, reporters explain the mechanics of foreclosures – practices like "robo signing" – and the lack of government regulation that allowed predatory lenders to profit from the crisis.

A film by Lee Hirsch, The Weinstein Company, Where We Live Films, BeCause Foundation, The Einhorn Family Charitable Trust, The Fledgling Fund, National Center for Learning Disabilities, and The Waitt Institute for Violence Prevention
A vivid portrait of what it is like to grow up as an underdog in America today
In this powerful documentary director Lee Hirsch followed five families affected by adolescent bullying, a social problem so prevalent that the school administrators and other officials profiled in the film seem not to notice it. Their access and rapport with the characters deeply engaged viewers with the families' struggles, and helped start a national dialogue about an issue that is too often cloaked in silence. Each personal story revealed the far-ranging consequences of bullying on families, schools and communities across the country. The film includes an excellent website that makes resources and screenings available to a wider public.

Her reporting from inside Syria at the scene of a massacre and the capitol Damascus documented spikes in violence. Correspondent Kelly McEvers brought a focus on individual stories that made the conflict real in human terms.

"Ghost Factories"
An interactive investigative report that uncovered hundreds of forgotten lead factories and the health hazards they left behind
This important interactive report details how federal and state environmental agencies did little to investigate hundreds of sites of closed factories despite the fact that they were warned more that a decade ago about dangerous levels of lead contamination. The extensive multimedia series was reported by a team of USA Today database, design, digital and visual experts and includes an online interactive that gives users detailed findings about more than 230 factory sites, including historical maps documenting the factories in operation and interactive maps allowing users to examine more than 1,000 soil samples performed by the newspaper in 21 neighborhoods across the country.

"FRONTLINE: Opium Brides" on PBS
A fascinating and haunting exploration of the unintended human price of Afghanistan's opium eradication campaign
Reporter Najibullah Quraishi uncovered a terrible consequence of the Afghan government's war on poppy production; rural families forced to give their daughters to drug traffickers because they were unable to repay borrowed money after crops were destroyed by the government eradication program. Interviews with poppy farmers reveal a commitment to the continued growth of lucrative poppies. This story is well written and edited, and tells a different story about the drug wars and their impact on society. The questions raised by the story linger well after it ends--how many more children will be traded or sold by their families to drug traffickers and what can be done to stop it?

StateImpact Pennsylvania
An important radio series produced in partnership with five local public radio stations about the impact of natural gas fracking in Pennsylvania
This joint reporting project from witf in Harrisburg, WHYY in Philadelphia, and NPR showed the significant impact of natural gas drilling on Pennsylvania residents, and is an important model for reporting on local issues. Reporters Susan Phillips and Scott Detrow covered the public policy, fiscal and environmental impact of the state's booming energy economy, with a focus on Marcellus Shale drilling. Their broadcast reports were heard on public radio stations across Pennsylvania and on a dedicated web site featuring multimedia, data-driven stories. Their work revealed previously unreported aspects of a new gas drilling law, including a provision that would require health professionals to sign confidentiality agreements in order to get access to chemical exposure information and developments in the state's efforts to establish a natural gas impact fee.

"Dirty Deeds," "Hiding Behind the Badge"
Two outstanding investigative series that spotlighted public corruption in Louisiana
Both of these meticulously reported local investigations from WVUE-TV reporter Lee Zurik exposed government corruption, historic and contemporary, in Louisiana. The tireless reporting also got results; in "Hiding Behind the Badge", Zurik's 20-part series about campaign finance fraud and kickbacks resulted in powerful law enforcement officials and a local businessman facing federal jail time. In "Dirty Deeds" Zurik uncovered a 75-year old oil lease deal signed by Huey Long that swindled state tax payers out of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues. Well-written and produced with excellent graphic elements, the stories also included online web videos and extensive historical documentation.

"Wayne County Confidential"
A model series of watchdog investigative reports that exposed local government corruption and resulted in criminal charges and an ongoing FBI probe
It started with one story on WXYZ about a small government contract dispute. By the end, this relentlessly reported series uncovered widespread government corruption, lawlessness and ineptitude inside Michigan's largest county. This is watchdog reporting at its best that has had a significant impact: five federal criminal charges, two guilty pleas, five firings, four resignations, one recall effort and an ongoing FBI probe. The stories served as a road map for how official corruption starts and spreads through lies and cover-ups. Eventually, a number of elected officials were forced out of office. This series performed an important public service in a county facing bankruptcy.

Not only is the Dow up nearly 300 points, but Pfizer and Merck are up strongly. Both stocks are supposed to suffer from Obamacare. Is the market rallying on the certainty of an Obama win or on hopes of a McCain upset? Me: I just don't see how the certainty of higher taxes, more regulation and more unionization helps stocks. Plus, stocks tend do poorly under unified government.
McCain Stocks Soaring
November 4, 2008 RSS Feed PrintReader Comments Read all comments (19)
I'm still trying to figure out exactly how Bush killed the economy. And i'm looking at this from a macroeconomic viewpoint because um...the large troubles do stem from macroeconomic issues.
First, I'd like to thank Bill Clinton for signing NAFTA with China after he accepted illegal contributions from them. Yes, China. Before Billy Boy left office, the trade deficit with Cihna alone exceeded $400 billion dollars. Michigan and Ohio both suffered miserably fromt the $100 billion trade deficit with Japan so Bill Clinton promised to clean that up. Meanwhile, the same problems existed because Clinton never bothered to lower the barrier to U.S. exports. What in the world is so great about Clinton to begin with? Bush was actually trying to hustle U.S. exports abroad when he ran into antiamerican sentiments. Nice job.
Next, I would also like to thank Bill Clinton for passing the Gramm, Leach and Bliley Act. He also supported the CRO. The derivative market started under Bill Clinton's presidency.
Next comes the dilemma of our relations with the Middle East. Now why are we supporting them if they hate us so? We should be able to drill offshore and in Alaska until alternative fuels become AFFORDABLE and abundant for mass use?
And the coal plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania, is it really necessary to bankrupt these guys to make coal cleaner? Do liberals care that all of these employees will be out of work? Or to pimp out the biofuels? I think Obama got lobbied to do that.
But anyways, the typical "enlightened" Obama supporter I ran into couldn't tell the difference between Indonesia and Japan. the reason why Obama had such a nasty campaign is because they didn't want to address the issues. they did so because they couldn't.
McCain is a little too far left for me, and how Obama got the presidency goes against the grain of common sense.
sub prime mortgages are NOW Bush's fault?! where were you when Clinton himself STATED it's the fault of the Dems. THEY did this. They refused to rein in Freddie and Fannie. McCain tried to introduce legislation that would control them, he called THIS very issue YEARS ago. The Dems said: won't happen.
McCain is NOT a Bush. He has his own policies and agenda. And if anyone TOOK the time OR cared to find out the truth, they would see that McCain during his (so far) Senate career has voted liberally 54%. That's NOT another Bush presidency. No matter how much you want to spin it.
Regarding helping others get wealthy: IF they want to work hard and save: they TOO can become wealthy. Everyones idea of wealthy is something different. Mine is having enough so that IF I want to help out my elderly parents, or gosh forbid! send my kids to college! I won't suffer too much. But I'm not looking for anyone to 'help me out'. I figured that the American Dream was in place. IF I want it: I'd better be willing to work for it. And save my money.
I have NO desire to help others become wealthy outside of my own family. I will never believe that it is MY job to give MY money over to others so they can have what I have. And I don't expect anyone to give me what they have either. They earned it.
Don't believe me? Google it.

B A+F Campus Housing: You won't live in a beautiful gothic palace, but at least the dorms are clean and comfortable for the most part. All-freshman dorms (Wilbur and Stern) are incredibly social.
A A+F Campus Housing: Many options for on campus housing. Generally social atmosphere very good. Clean, decent food, free laundry. Coops, row houses, greek life, more independent-style living, typical dorm still living. Housing process pretty smooth. Most housing pretty close to center of campus. Costs decent compared to surrounding area.
A- A+F Campus Housing: Most housing options are pretty good. My main complaint would be that there aren't enough houses (which are the preferred form of housing over dorms) and some of the housing is a bit far from the center of campus. This is just natural, however, as our campus is quite large.
A- A+F Campus Housing: Housing is adequate for graduate students - the sizes of the rooms may be smaller than your typical off-campus apartment, but access to university resources makes up for the difference. Also, the smaller personal space is countered by larger communal space and a larger community of fellow students, which encourages you to socialize more.
A A+F Campus Housing: There is literally a cornucopia of dorm options on campus. Practically everyone (over 90% of students) live on campus all four years because it is most practical and housing is for the most part, great. The one thing that is most important to note is that dorms are selected randomly by a random, tiered, somewhat complicated raffle like system called the Draw.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Alexandria Butler
Student opinions of on-campus housing are appropriately mixed—there are so many different options that your housing experience can vary. There are standard dormitories (with 60 to 200 people), self-operated houses where students manage finances and cleaning (with 25 to 50 people), and co-ops where residents do all of the cooking and cleaning. Mirrielees House is an apartment-style dorm where you don't have a meal plan, and you can do your own cooking. Some students are quite happy living in a regular dormitory, while others have a much better time in a smaller house. Most feel that freshman year is best spent living in an all-freshman dorm because you'll get to know a lot more people and have a better social life. After freshman year, you have the option to live in a dorm again or in a Row house. Stanford's lottery system called "The Draw" has a huge effect on the options you have each year.
Stanford definitely has one of the most diverse housing systems of any university, and there's a large disparity between the qualities of different options. Some students live in crowded one-room triples and have mediocre food, while others live in singles and have a great house chef. The lottery, which gives you a random number that affects where you can live, supposedly mediates the disparity. Of course, some people are just unlucky. Others will manage to find loopholes; some people join fraternities, while others become staff members. Where you live on campus greatly influences your quality of life, though not always for the most obvious reasons. Having good food or a large room is nice, but sometimes having the right roommate or good people in your hall makes the biggest difference.

Chinese parts on a Hudson
Well it finally happened. I have needed to replace the front brake cylinders on my Commodore for the last couple of years. So I went to my local NAPA store where I get the majority of my parts and picked them up. I got home and looked at the box and sure enough they are now made in China! Pretty soon you probably can by the whole car from there.
我知道它! Michel
You can purchase a complete Chinese built Hudson Hornet in 1/18 scale (and many other scales as well!).
Actually the Chinese can make whatever you want, at whatever quality level you specify. For example as far as Hi-Fi stereo gear goes, they're at the top of the tree: http://www.opera-consonance.com/ I'm looking to buy one of their valve amplifiers. For the fantastic quality and performance, the price is very, very good.
You will find that the chinese made wheel cylinders , although they use the 5/16-24 bolts to hold them to the backing plate, they often need a 9mm wrench for the bleed screws! 3/8" is too loose and will round the corners. Some of the chinese wheel cylinder castings were not machined enough for the 5/16"-24 bolt heads to clear, or to even get a socket or wrench on the bolts to tighten. I had these issues with them.
I wish they made also water pumps for Essex Terraplane 8, metrics or american standard is fine ;)Location : France
Been driving my '28 Essex for 56 years and never had trouble with the water pump.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

828 Accents Dragonflies Orange Rug

$360 + FREE SHIPPINGDescription: The Accents collection of cotton rugs offers a wide range of simple yet elegant country designs with animal and beach themes. Woven with cotton in a luxurious hand finished tufted rug.
- Collection: Accents
- Brand: 828
- Material: 100% Cotton
- Weave: Hand Hooked
- Styles: Kids Rugs
- Origin: China
- Available in the following sizes: 5' x 8'
The rug is cute and I plan to keep it, but when it arrived yesterday I was quite surprised at the color difference. The rug, in reality, is a peach color; the dragonflies that appear in purplish tones on my iPad are in pink tones on the rug; the lime green dragonflies are closer to sea foam. Basically the rug is more muted in person. We are re-decorating my daughter's room and I was hoping to paint the walls lavendar, but am going to have to go a different direction now.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
At 828 International, we never sit still. Our company is driven by the desire to deliver rugs of unsurpassed quality and style. To that end, we travel the globe to create rugs that exceed your expectations. From Belgium, England, China and to Turkey, and India, we work closely with leading designers and manufacturers to bring you exclusively licensed collections that cover a wide range of fibers, weaves, designs, sizes, colors and price points.
