...from California, you simply ship the VEC unit, or cell. To make the tubs, two composite skins are draped over a foam model, and a thermochemical reaction causes them to harden into shape. (Because no metal bending is involved and the "thermoset" process uses chemistry, not immense heat, the molds cost a fraction of the conventional version.) The skins are then attached to a universal frame. The cell is closed and filled with pressurized water, which braces the skins together. Then composite materials are injected into the mold and catalyzed, causing the materials to harden. Unlike injection molding, a common...
Lynne Cheney, perhaps more than any previous contender for second lady status, does not fit the traditional mold of political wife. Her career has kept pace with her husband's; she served as chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities in the Reagan and Bush administrations, and is a longtime member of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington. Her various high-profile positions have allowed Cheney to publish widely (in the New York Times, Washington Post and other national journals) on the subjects that interest her most, including the widespread deterioration of the American education...
...Israelis' understanding of Palestinians is still stuck in a kind of 19th-century "Lawrence of Arabia" mold. They look down on them. And just as the Palestinians don't understand Israel's attachment to Jerusalem, nor do the Israelis and Americans understand why Arafat cannot give up Jerusalem.

Then there's the whole mold thing. Call me overzealous, but when I see something green in the refrigerator, my very first instinct - the one they always tell you is right on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" - is to hold my nose, reach in and gingerly remove the offending foodstuff. (That tendency, now that I think about it, could explain why there are never any green vegetables in my refrigerator. OK, there's really nothing much in my refrigerator at all besides a jar of capers and a few cans of Dr. Pepper, but that's a different story...
