[QUOTE=Converge#12]I searched the thread and couldnt find it but does anyone know what shoe companies dont use slave labor. I think new balance doesnt but I'm not sure. I know this isnt DIY related but this was mentioned before.[/QUOTE]

That's an awesome flyer Jon, where did you see it?

asdf 08-30-2006 04:17 PM

Last night I made a shirt of the cover of the residents album "duckstab." Pictures to come later.

The Sound Of The Suburbs exhibition at Church Farmhouse Museum in Hendon.

There are flyers for it in the library and stuff if you want to go.

Its free to get in but pretty short; don't expect too much.

Its got stuff about the Vibrators, Chelsea, etc, and the Torrington.

What happens when you want to have sex in more positions than just spooning?

Cool bed though.

[QUOTE=plebeian scum]I've kind of been wondering about New Balance also. Wikipedia says they have five manufacturing plants in the U.S., but the lower-end shoes are made in Asia.

Seem better than average, at least.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I'm pretty close to a new balance outlet and I'm pretty sure they are an honest company. I'm thinking I'm just gonna buy a pair because like you said five plants in the US. I'm pretty sure the majority of there shoes come from here.
So I dont get off topic, does anyone know how to fix a zipper on a backpack. Mine open up even when its supposed to be zipped.
Edit: also does anyone have a JFA stencil with a jodie foster picutre in it?

[quote=wiki]
Made in America?

Aside from "Endorsed by no one", one of New Balance's marketing points is that it is "Made in America". However, New Balance, like virtually all athletic shoe manufacturers, is supplied (at least partly) by Chinese factories. [2]

The company underwent sustained scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission on this issue in the 1990s. The F.T.C. insisted that 90% of a product must be American-made to justify a "Made in U.S.A." claim, while New Balance acknowledged that their soles, which the F.T.C. estimated as 75% of the product, were made in China. The percentages, which many companies joined New Balance in criticising as arbitrary, have subsuquently been made less stringent, and New Balance still describes its high end shoes as primarily American-made. Lower-end New Balance shoes are generally made in China, and are described as such on the labeling and boxes.

[b]and are described as such on the labeling and boxes.[/b]
Ambiguous as to exactly how they do it, but you should be able to find primarily what you want.

About the zipper, from my understanding, this should help:

Why, what are public parks for?

Jon 08-31-2006 07:00 PM

This all links up marvelously:

1) Eran, is it illegal to jump the gates of Regents Park or Cavendish Square? (after they're locked at night) They're my favourite shagging grounds.
2) Are you allowed to use fireworks in public parks? We nearly set Regents Park on fire tonight.
3) DIY recipe to remove cumstains please :upset:

I don't know, but I had gay sex in Green Park one summer dawn not too long ago.

[Quote]2) Are you allowed to use fireworks in public parks? We nearly set Regents Park on fire tonight.[/Quote]

When Class War tried it, the coppers tried to confiscate them under the Terrorism Act (this was Guy Fawkes Rememberance Day, 2005). Didn't work, we set them off anyway, 'twas cool.

[Quote]3) DIY recipe to remove cumstains please :upset:[/QUOTE]

Let them dry, then scratch off as much as you can, wet what's left a bit and rub it vigorously (:naughty:), then machine wash and hope for the best.

Jon 08-31-2006 07:31 PM

Thank god it was just my boxers, beats having parksex with a bare arse.

I don't think I'm ever going to have someone come up to me saying they know what it is, but if it happens, that'll be awesome.

What Joe said. You are TOO good at DIY.

You guys are too kind.

Right now I'm doing at home shoe repair! sewing and the use of gorilla glue. Very zen thing to do at 2 AM.

I've got to run to the hardware store to pick up gorilla glue too, today! My damn dorm fridge broke (it was pre-owned). The seal pad (you know, right?) between the door and base of the fridge ripped off. I'm hoping some GG will fix it (might use industrial epoxy if worse comes to worst).

My kicks are also going to hell. The foam sole has finally started to separate from the cloth foot cover, so hopefully the GG will fix that. If not, Duct Tape will. :)

i dont think any one has ever come up to me and said they know what my shirt is, even the more famous bands like "the adicts", or even joe strummer. hell most people ask who they are.

Jon 09-01-2006 07:44 AM

Rory if you don't become some proper famous fashion designerer or something when you're older then the world is broken.

coheneran 09-01-2006 07:45 AM

Does anyone know if there's a better way to record tracks onto a mixtape, using a dictaphone, than just holding it up to the speaker?

Jon 09-01-2006 07:53 AM

Don't dictaphones take mini cassettes?

Why don't you just use a normal walkman?

coheneran 09-01-2006 08:20 AM

It's a walkman/dictaphone. It has a microphone, but recording it open-air makes the song quality [COLOR="Black"]sh[/COLOR]ite, I want to be able to hook it up to my computer so that I can record straight onto it, but I've no idea what sort of cable to use.

Jon 09-01-2006 08:29 AM

Does it have Line In?

coheneran 09-01-2006 08:32 AM

The walkman? Yes.
