Thanks for your work in finding and helping vet machinery for the company. If they could get hungry enough steel mills willing to pay for the product (unlike a thousand mini mills-thus the need for DLC's) they could start on 1 of the veins on South Baja also-as they mentioned as a possibility ca spring of 2011. If only there were steelmakers in Southern California-I dont remember any there when I looked.
As for the ramen I wonder whether white rice might be the cheapest commodity-I came across some and rather than putting it in the garbage gave it to help feed the fauna-its still there months later untouched and unchanged as if it were quartz- not even the scavenger ants would touch it-maybe its a natural organic pest killer.
