Blade Powersports, Kasea, Dazon, Carter Talon, KPX Xterro/Hulk, Twister
and many more.

These carts are great!

New 250s are about to start pouring out of China giving Peirspeed a run
for their money.

We have a memeber that will be involved with devloping engine swapping
solutions... snow mobile engines, etc.

Come check out the new devlopments at our Yahoo Group:

Thanks and look forward to seeing you there!

Chinese food is made in the US.
Everything in Target, WalMart, K Mart and gokart stores is made in
China. Except Bic lighters. They're made in France.

Assembled in USA from ingredients of mixed origin, it will love you long
time.

Well, with the vast selection of lures in the fishing dept., it's nice to be
able to shop by process of elimination. There's some American product that
has no MSG.

I was looking at those yesterday.
I was thinking "Wouldn't that be a great frame for my 750 two stroke?"
A Honda odesey would be a safer choice, but those cost more.

The chinese restaurants I go to probably have as much in common with
authentic chinese food as gokarts do.

I'll also exclude most food products, but try and get a paper shredder
or some dish towels or a pair of shoes or a shower curtain liner or...

So, I'm having lunch and watching CNN coverage of yesterday's inauguration
parade. They showed Jeb Bush taking pictures of the parade with a disposable
camera. It was a green disposable camera, not a yellow disposable camera.
Fuji Film (er, Japan not China) has been kicking ass on Kodak for years with
(good product and) low pricing.

discuss amongst yourselves.

If you can't make cheap and good products, someone will do. People want to
pay less. Well, except those really rich guys or if the product is really
crap. But, if you have two mechanical pencils... One costs $1 and the other
costs $5. Both works great. Both lasts a lifetime. But one is made in a
small facility in your neighborhood and the other is made far far away in
<insert a third world country here>. What pencil would you buy? And what if
the $5 one is the one that is made close to you? Some people would be
patriotic and buy the "made here" product, but I say that 99.9% of the rest
of the population would rather buy the $1 and $4 in beer. It's basic
economic theory... You can't fight it unless you cut your costs.

Btw, yesterday I went on an Oracle conference. After lunch, I was very
comfortable in my chair, having a nice glass iced water. It was supposed to
be "New Features of Oracle 10g". There are many many experts on this subject
in my country, including a guy I know and work with. But the guy who was
there in front of us was from India and was speaking a heavy accented
english instead of the old and good portuguese. Why this? Because the people
who live here and are experts charge $$$$$$ and that dude charge $...

Just my .2/3 cents (see? My cents are cheaper. What cent would you rather
have?)

Good for them. Some folks bemoan all the lost manufacturing jobs to
overseas nations. Fine. It's when these two groups overlap, that I
get pissed.

If you're (not necessarily you) going to whine about offshoring and
outsourcing, you better not have a fucking thing in your posession
that's stamped "Made in China" on it.

I still buy Kodak film.

You win.

Slide-film: I thought it was, "Fujichrome for greenery and scenery,
Kodachrome for flowers and people." What I learned in college
color-photography class: Fuji uses a differently colored base
celluloid (or whatever film-plastic), and color-layer stack (CMY vs.
YCM) in the film manufacturing process, that bottom-line affects color
rendition. Kodak (probably originally a patent, thus the Fujichrome
differentiation) uses a red-base that makes colors and faces pop.
Agfa has a different layering formula...

My throwaway Fuji waterproof camera is 800ASA which works better
snorkeling around underwater than the 400ASA Kodak, but the green-tint
works against it because of water color.

I'm way out of the league you, MikeW. and Gary(?) are. I just grab a
12 pack of Kodak ASA400 at Sams and shoot away. I used to have a
friend that had a friend... that would get me all the film I wanted.
The ASA 25 slide film was pretty cool.

List of items found today that are only made in China apparently:
-Everything at Bed, Bath & Beyond - including the candy
-Every piece of footwear in this entire country except some $225 boots
at REI made in "Slovakia".

The way the world works anymore it's hard to tell where the company that
builds your suff is based and the place it is made.

I did actually find something made in the USA yesterday: an American
flag, believe it or not.

My Silverado was made in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Where do you reckon the
profits from that Tundra ended up?
