Title: had 2 post it: 'heatwave melts road in China' Post by Stimpy on 07/10/10 at 14:38:17 http://web.orange.co.uk/images/ice/quirkies/stuck_in_traffic_quirky_china_news.jpg "Motorist Lao Yang said his car seemed to get heavier and heavier as he drove along the street" ;D ;D ;D Now please stop complaining about how warm it is this summer, at least where you live the road is not getting tangled up in your kevlar band! Road melts in heatwave Stuck in traffic /Quirky China, News 9 July 2010 Dozens of vehicles stuck to a road in heatwave-hit China after the tarmac melted in the hot sun. The road, in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, had just been resurfaced the previous day, reports the Zhengzhou Evening Post. It melted in 40C temperatures which saw the street surface temperature reach as high as 70C. ...and now we know the melting point of walmart :D Source and full article: http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Road_melts_in_heatwave |

Title: Re: had 2 post it: 'heatwave melts road in China' Post by Stimpy on 07/11/10 at 15:33:31 Gotta agree with you, for the money there are actually a few pretty good brands out there. A friend of mine is distributing chinese-made 'Johnson' guitars, and paired up with decent 'Tesla pickups' they sound pretty bad as$ and stay in tune as well. I'll tell you a story.- Personally everytime I need a new guitar and such I go to the pawn shops or trade-in section at music centers, the last little jewel I found was an incredible Ovation balladeer Model. 1111 from the early 90's with the great OP 24 electronics set and a carbon fiber shell (not plastic). This Connecticut made beauty was laying in the corner of "freedom guitar" all dusty, alone and forgotten just because it had little crack on top (maybe 4" long) surely caused by the dry san diego summers (EZ fix with epoxy or resin). I had about $500 to spend and the floorguy was pushing on me an incredible takamine i fell in love with, but after examining and playing the ovation for 30 seconds i was sold. Best $200 bucks I've ever spent! I'll never sell it. Moral of the story: give other peoples' good 'junk' a new beginning ;) |

Chinese made... Ok I gues technically it is pieced together by Chinese but it's Russian ingenuity and design, all they have to do is follow directions! As for the ammo, well shoot, lead is their specialty! The food is delicious tho |

If they build a gun outta pot metal instead of high quality steel, then pulling the trigger could be bad. The guns Ive seen work just fine. IDK who came up w/ the materials , but Id bet someones butt is in a sling. |

Chinese junk is about to go up in price :D Companies brace for end of cheap made-in-China era Costlier labor, currency are ending cheap made-in-China era; manufacturers struggle to adapt http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/fi/gr/ap_106x27.gif Factory workers demanding better wages and working conditions are hastening the eventual end of an era of cheap costs that helped make southern coastal China the world's factory floor. A series of strikes over the past two months have been a rude wakeup call for the many foreign companies that depend on China's low costs to compete overseas, from makers of Christmas trees to manufacturers of gadgets like the iPad. Where once low-tech factories and scant wages were welcomed in a China eager to escape isolation and poverty, workers are now demanding a bigger share of the profits. The government, meanwhile, is pushing foreign companies to make investments in areas it believes will create greater wealth for China, like high technology. * Continue reading article here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Companies-brace-for-end-of-apf-2437567795.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=3&asset=&ccode= |
