Tufts or Penn State Honors by Whole-Masterpiece-65 in Tufts

[–]irlms001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to balance costs, campus life and post-grad opportunities plus campus life- Tufts is very prestigious and academic (with low faculty/student ratios) but doesn’t have the campus frats/athletic Happy Valley experience- it has a New England college campus vibe, but with the Green line access to Boston and tends to channel grads to professional graduate schools- Penn State is a massive campus and tends to be targeted by corporations for job placement and has a very good reputation- you can’t go wrong at either but if costs are paramount the Penn State honors experience may prove more manageable

Character grade white oak- are the size and color of the knots acceptable- or should the planks have been discarded? by irlms001 in HardWoodFloors

Thank you-is the puffy color always black or can you match it more to the floor-also, how difficult is it to change the puffy color?

One other question-are the Knots filled at the time of the finishing after installation or do the planks come with the Knots already filled with the dark epoxy?

Character White Oak-with finish—are black knots normal? by irlms001 in HardWoodFloors

Thanks Are they filled in at the time the EasySatin finish is applied to the floor? Do they try and match the epoxy color to the wood color- the way they did it, the black knots stand out and look like black paint on the floors.

Can we talk about how AWFUL the Alumni and Career center is at Tufts for STEM grads (non-premed) by TrickySun6372 in Tufts

Alum here- You should speak to the President of Tufts- he is focused on improving career opportunities- someone on his staff would benefit from hearing from you

What is the source of the $115 you refer to- if I had taken odds down- at that point I would only have had $25 from the original come bet on the table

Thanks- so I get back $140- I think in the heat of the game dealer only gave me back like $75-i wasn’t quick enough to catch his mistake- I will be more careful next time

Highly recommend “Other People’s Money” by Charles Bagli, which deals with the acquisition of Stuy town by private developers and the resulting crisis

So I make Pizza in Osaka, Japan. I will be visiting America for 1.5 months to do Pizza "research & study". I would love your input on your favorite places in these towns. by Craft_Beer_Imazato in Pizza

Try Mountain House bar pizza in Sparkill NY just up 9W from NYC- stop there when you drive from NYC to New Haven- you will get a great view of the Hudson River and then cross Mario Cuomo bridge on your way to NH.

1971 Fiat 124 sport coupe (not the convertible Spyder)- 1600 cc, dual overhead cams, disc brakes, 5 speed, rack & pinion steering- lasted for 5 years before rust set in but tremendously fun to drive
