...currently in use as "remarkably crude." They are light-years away from that description. Today's presses are computer-monitored precision-production machines that can produce high-quality products at a fast rate. You were also wrong to state that current powder presses are the size of a tractor trailer and demand "the ministrations of at least 200 people to keep them running through a workweek." Many conventional compacting powder presses are certainly much smaller than a tractor trailer, and often they can be handled by just one skilled production worker. PETER K. JOHNSON, MANAGING EDITOR International Journal of Powder...

...nothing especially new about it. Powder presses have been around for 70 years, stamping out everything from truck-motor parts to medical equipment. Remarkably common though they are, these machines are remarkably crude. Most powder presses are great, loud, chugging things, about the size and shape of a tractor trailer and demanding the ministrations of at least 200 people to keep them running through a workweek. Retooling the presses to switch from making one component to another can take days.

He's a guy who on one hand has this freeze-dried rat in his trailer that he tortures people with - and then can talk about Shakespeare's language, about iambic pentameter. He's both those people." The question facing the $25 million man is this: Who exactly will he be in the coming decades? His image - the winking, wisecracking, pistol-packing hero-clown - is already showing signs of age. The '80s-style action movie he mastered is past its prime...

Scour had been working on deals with movie studios and music websites to develop non-infringing uses for its search engine and exchange. For example, it recently launched a promotion with Dimension Films to offer a downloadable trailer for Scary Movie...

...Yankee crowd's appetite for jolly low-cultured fun was certainly satiated as Southern Culture hooted and hollered their way through a set that included a raunchy rendition of "Put Your Teeth Up on the Window Sill," dedicated to an elderly couple Miller met in a trailer park who were still wild about denture-free whoopie. A libidinous "Learn to Belly Dance" in honor of their appearance at the Middle East probably recalled the band's past performances at strip clubs-blond bouffant wig-wearing Mary Huff, the group's bassist, had to turn down more than a few requests...
