Bush Tax Reform: Ignoring Lobbyists and the Doublespeak of Big Accounting Firms, Tax-Reform Champions Continue Their Push for Simplification of the U.S. Tax Code
Berlau, John, Insight on the News
In their responses to the State of the Union Address in late January, Democrats charged that President George W. Bush's tax plan, particularly the repeal of double taxation on corporate earnings and shareholder dividends, would benefit only giant corporations and the rich. But at least one of those big corporations has come out swinging against the tax cuts: the Big Five accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP.
Based in Chicago, Grant Thornton claims in a press release that repealing the tax on dividends "is likely to have a negative impact." Proponents of the Bush plan say opposition from Grant Thornton is revealing. They maintain that the only "negative impact" the dividend repeal and other reforms to simplify the tax code and eliminate double taxation would have is on accounting firms such as Grant Thornton and other businesses that feed on the mind-boggling complexity of the current tax system.
"We want to make it the buggy-whip industry," says Rep. Chris Cox (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Policy Committee and the fifth-ranking Republican in Congress. The "it" to which Cox was referring as he spoke with INSIGHT in his office in the Rayburn House Office Building is the monster accounting industry that feeds on the victims of the vast and convoluted tax code and therefore lobbies against repeal or reform that would simplify the system.
A tax-reform and tax-cut champion since he came to Congress in 1989, Cox has seen this type of lobbying before. Big life-insurance trade groups, such as the Association for Advanced Life Underwriters, lobbied hard in 2001 against the Bush administration's phaseout of the death tax on estates, which Cox and other conservatives had been pushing to eliminate since the early 1990s. The companies they represented sold life-insurance polices to help families pay the tax and pass the family business down to their children. "There are decades and decades of financial arrangements that have been made based upon the tax structure we've had in the country for so long," Cox says. "There are so many economic interests affected by the code now that thoroughgoing reform is opposed from myriad directions."
Yet Cox is optimistic that reform, over time, can be achieved. "If we are relentless in our pursuit of simplification, we inevitably will make progress," he says. Cox sees the repeal of the tax on dividends, as well as the "death tax" or estate-tax phaseout passed in 2001, as good steps toward getting rid of double taxation on income that is saved.
"Eliminating the double tax on dividends also is simplification," says Cox, the main sponsor of the repeal bill in Congress. He first introduced a bill to end the double tax on dividends in 1992, and had argued in his thesis at Harvard Business School in 1977 for its abolition. "When you eliminate a whole class of taxation, it ultimately is simplicity," he says.
So Cox and other reformers aren't in the least surprised that an accounting firm such as Grant Thornton, which profits hugely from the complexity of the tax code, would resist repeal of this tax. In a press release, the firm states that repeal will hurt the midsize companies it serves by "encouraging investors to abandon the middle market in favor of companies that pay dividends." Grant Thornton claims that, "unlike large public corporations, which attract equity investment by paying dividends, many middle-market companies are closely held businesses that finance growth by reinvesting profits in their company."
Economists with whom INSIGHT consulted said the Grant Thornton analysis is false on its face. First, they say, many large public companies, such as Microsoft Corp., have not paid dividends because of the tax penalty to shareholders. Instead, they retain earnings and buy up smaller companies. But, if dividends weren't double-taxed, "you would have less pressure for corporate mergers and more growth of independent companies," says Stephen J. Entin, president of the Washington-based Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation. "There will be more competition for money, and it will flow more readily to the highest returns." Sure enough, shortly after Bush's plan was announced, Microsoft announced that for the first time it would pay dividends.
Dan Mitchell, a senior economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, says Grant Thornton's analysis "flunks Economics 101." He explains that Grant Thornton is "assuming investment is a fixed pie." But, Mitchell says, the dividend repeal would spur "more investment overall," which would help the economy and small and midsize companies.
A Grant Thornton spokeswoman tells INSIGHT that the firm did not base its assertion on either a study or survey of its customers. She promised to have a partner call to explain the company's economic reasoning, but at press time none had done so.
Entin calls Grant Thornton's claims a "special-interest argument," and at the end of its press release the company provides a clue huge financial interest in defeating the reform and keeping taxes complex: "Many closely held companies have elected S-corporation status to avoid the double taxation of dividends." S-corporations are complex corporate structures with a limited number of shareholders that are very difficult to create. The partners need to hire big accounting firms such as Grant Thornton to make sure they don't run afoul of IRS rules in avoiding double taxation on their business earnings. But, the firm says in the release, "If dividend taxes are eliminated, Grant Thornton expects many S-corporations to revoke their elections and convert to C [ordinary] corporations."
And this assuredly would not hurt the businesses nearly as much as it might hurt Grant Thornton, Entin says with a laugh. In fact, it might very well help the accountant's business customers. "It would simplify things," Entin says. "The businesses would not have to jump through all those hoops to qualify for S-corporation status"--hoops that inevitably result in misallocations of investor resources. The partners then could raise money from a broader class of shareholders and still not be double-taxed on their dividends. But of course Grant Thornton "probably would lose business," Entin says. The current tax code, Cox says, "makes accountants smile."
Cox has been a policy leader on many fronts, including national security. In the late 1990s he led a bipartisan congressional committee which unanimously concluded that the People's Republic of China posed a much more immediate threat to the defense of the United States than had been recognized. Since he was just appointed chairman of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security, many thought he would put tax reform on the back burner. Far from it.
In fact, Cox tells INSIGHT that tackling the tax code, which in 2001 was a record 45,663 pages long, remains one of his top priorities. "There is no greater monstrosity in the law than the Internal Revenue Code, the regulations that accompany it and the case law that's necessary to interpret it," Cox says. "We live in a country in which more than 100 million people who want to pay their taxes are genuinely puzzled about what they owe. Imagine running a business in which people actually want to send you money, and a business in which you don't even have to manufacture anything to send to them in return--just a piece of paper. And imagine going out of your way to make it so difficult for your customers to figure out how much they have to pay that not just most, but almost all of them, are likely to get the answer wrong. It's absurd. There is no aspect of American government more in need of reform."
But what are the prospects for reform? Some of the nation's greatest champions of tax overhaul, such as former House majority leader Dick Armey (R-Texas) and former House Ways and Means Committee chairman Bill Archer (R-Texas), have left Congress. The White House has made noises about simplifying the code, but has yet to push legislation to reform it in one fell swoop. Even so, noting the commitment of some of the newer members on Capitol Hill and the fact that the GOP now controls the House, the Senate and the White House, Armey and others see opportunities.
"There's good leadership in both the House and the Senate," Armey tells INSIGHT in a telephone interview from his home in Lewisville, Texas. A former professor of economics who in Congress pushed the flat tax, Armey says there still are champions of that idea on the tax-writing and budget committees of both houses. "Jim Nussle [R-Iowa], the chairman of the [House] Budget Committee and a very influential member of [the] Ways and Means [Committee], is taking up the flat tax, and he's continuing to work with me on that," Armey says. "I understand that Don Nickles [R-Okla.] wants to take it up and be the champion in the Senate. But even if Don Nickles does not do so, John Sununu [R-N.H.] is very eager to move forward. Between Nickles, Sununu and Nussle, we've got very good championship of the idea in both the House and the Senate."
As for the White House, Armey adds, "I think the president is committed to tax simplification, but he has not been bold enough to say I'm for this plan or that plan."
This may be so because free-market tax reformers disagree about whether to overhaul the tax system with a flat rate on income, as Armey wants to do, or to replace the income tax with a retail-sales levy, as proposed by Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-La.). But in INSIGHT interviews with members of the House Ways and Means Committee, the most important tax-writing committee, it is clear a consensus is emerging to accomplish one of the objectives of both tax systems by ending double taxation of income that is saved or invested.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who joined the Ways and Means Committee after coming to Congress in 2001 and whom Armey holds in high regard, summed up the objective for INSIGHT: "We should tax income once at its source and end the bias against savings and investment." Here's how that bias works:
When a citizen comes into money, he or she can spend what's left after paying the income tax to buy, say, a Rolls Royce or go on a world cruise aboard a luxury liner. There are some sales taxes on the luxury car and the cruise, but these don't come close to the tax rate on the original income. Yet if the citizen instead decides to save or invest the money, buying capital tools and creating new jobs, he or she again must pay a tax on interest, dividend or capital gain at the same high marginal tax rates (up to 39 percent or even higher if there's a state income tax) that was paid on the original income. On top of that, when the saver dies, his or her heirs have to pay up to a 55 percent estate tax on the income and returns from the initial investment that already had been taxed twice. (This will change in 2011 if future Congresses stick to the schedule of the death-tax phaseout enacted in 2001.)
"The fact that we are taxing savings twice, three times and sometimes more often than that is much more obvious to economists than it is to politicians," Cox says. "I strongly believe that savings should be the just reward for work. If we've already taxed your reward for work, we don't want to tax it again after you put it in your piggy bank. From a policy standpoint, we want money to circulate and be available for job creation, and a tax policy that's biased against that is wrongheaded." Taxing capital in a capitalist society, in which the means of production depend on savings for investment, just doesn't make sense, says Cox.
When tax cuts are sold to the public as efforts to rid the tax code of double taxation and bias against savings, the public tends to be supportive. Armey is heartened by a new Tarrance Group poll commissioned by Citizens for a Sound Economy, a Washington-based policy group that he now serves as chairman. The group found that, when the dividend tax was explained as double taxation on savings, 62 percent of Americans favored the Bush plan to get rid of it. "I was gratified to find out that this simplification and elimination of double taxation was the most popular part of his entire proposal," Armey says. "I think that's a good message to get into the White House."
Even so, some proponents of ending double taxation have claimed that the Bush plan might add complexity, because companies would have to set up excludable distribution accounts of earnings from which to distribute dividends. "Most people, if they have any income from dividends, still are going to have to have a professional figure it out," says Rep. John Linder (R-Ga.), who wants to replace the income tax with a national retail-sales tax. "My understanding is it's going to be based on the corporation's profits two years ago and things like that."
Cox counters that "whatever complexity exists about dividend taxation was there already. Whether a payment made by a corporation comes out of earnings and profits is a concept that's been built into the code for as long as we've had corporate income tax. These concepts were not introduced by the proposals to repeal the double tax on dividends. There is no question that repealing the double tax on dividends is going to simplify the code." Others who have looked at the plan say any complexity likely would occur only on the business side. Most individuals would have the taxes they owe calculated by their brokerage houses.
Tax simplification and eliminating double taxation on savings go hand in hand, say reformers Armey and Cox. This is one of the hard lessons learned from the battle for the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which lowered tax rates but increased the bias against saving. Some supply-siders such as Stephen Moore of the Club for Growth still maintain that on balance the act was good because it eliminated some foolish tax deductions and decreased rates. But Armey, for one, tells INSIGHT he now regrets his vote and thinks the act has done more harm than good. "I always put it down as the dumbest vote I ever made in Congress," he says. "The problem with the '86 bill is it got out of Ronald Reagan's hands. It turned out there were a lot of things that were left out and done improperly."
Economist Entin, who was Reagan's deputy assistant treasury secretary for economic policy from 1981-88, blames congressional Democrats and (especially) liberal Republican Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon, then chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, for hijacking the Reagan administration's reforms.
The Reagan administration had planned to lower rates, end many deductions and reduce double taxation on savings through the expansion of individual retirement accounts (IRAs), which the administration had made available to those in all income brackets in its 1981 tax-cut package. But without consulting the administration Packwood sharply limited IRA participation with income caps and other restrictions and put in place still other provisions that Entin says sharply increased the tax bias against investment. He used part of the money from these changes to restore business deductions the administration had eliminated, such as those for alternative energy. "Bob Packwood turned the entire bill into something that was anti-investment instead of pro-investment," Entin says. "It increased the tax bias against saving and investment, led to weaker investment later in the decade and paved the way for the subsequent recession."
Packwood, who resigned from the Senate in the mid-1990s amid a sexual-harassment scandal and now is a Washington lobbyist, replies that he limited IRAs because the Reagan administration's earlier expansion of them had not induced more savings. "We had very generously in 1981 increased eligibility for IRAs, and then we saw no increase in saving in `82, `83, `84, `85," Packwood tells INSIGHT. "What we discovered is people were simply shifting savings from less tax-preferred savings to more tax-preferred savings, but not increasing their savings."
Entin and others cite studies that show that IRAs did cause an increase in savings. One of these studies was conducted by Dartmouth College economist Steven Venti, who also found that the 1986 restrictions caused so much confusion that IRA participation dropped sharply even among those who still were eligible to shield their savings from double taxation.
In 1993 the Clinton administration and a Democratic Congress erased much of the reform by jacking the top rates, which had been lowered in 1986 from 50 percent to 28 percent, back up to 39 percent. In the last few years, Congress has expanded IRAs, but the income limits and other rules remain complex, leaving many scratching their heads about saving for retirement. With IRAs, "Congress should stop doing the `unlesses' and the `ifs,'" says Ric Edelman, a best-selling author on financial planning. "They should make simple rules that are applicable across the board."
By both simplifying and expanding IRAs, say such supply-siders as Entin, Congress could achieve backdoor tax reform. They propose a "consumed income-tax" system in which individuals either would deduct the income they save or invest and be taxed upon withdrawal, similar to a traditional IRA, or not be taxed on the returns from after-tax income, similar to a Roth IRA. But there would be no income limits, contribution limits, age restrictions or additional tax penalties for withdrawal. More than retirement accounts, these would be all-purpose savings accounts that achieve the objective of both the flat- and sales-tax systems for ending double taxation.
In the meantime Cox is looking for opportunities to simplify and lower taxes by pulling out by the roots certain types of double taxation, such as the estate and dividend taxes. "Repealing entire portions of the code is the best way to simplify it," he says. "Whenever we try to ameliorate the effect of a tax to make it more fair, we end up having to have enormous amounts of complexity in order to achieve that result. We should simply take away entire categories of tax."

Mike Richards, longtime operator of Midway Trading Post at 3296 Southport-Supply Road (N.C. 211) next to Midway Road, died June 21 at 70.
"Nobody expected it," Richards' wife Carole said. "He was playing golf the day before he went to the hospital."
Richards had been in the hospital seven days before he died.
SUNSET BEACH — Town council has unanimously approved a settlement agreement with owners of 10 lots in Palm Cove at the east end of the island.
Approval came at council's monthly meeting this past Monday night, June 29.
Town Attorney Grady Richardson said highlights of the agreement are to allow a common, privately owned and maintained boardwalk stretching across all 10 lots. The boardwalk will not be on the dunes and will connect to three dune crossovers over the dunes themselves.
The summer heat has taken its toll on air conditioners and the people who repair them.
With pre-Fourth of July temperatures soaring into the humid 90s this week, malfunctioning air conditioners have repair companies and technicians working 'round the clock.

BOLIVIA — The sale of the old community hospital property has officially closed.
After the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution at an emergency meeting Friday, June 26, that placed the county in the final stages of the closing process, the county's attorneys sealed the deal Monday, June 29, Assistant County Attorney Bryan Batton said.
The closing includes a three-day revocation period before the county can officially receive the $750,000 from Centre Development Co., which purchased the hospital property.
BOLIVIA — The Brunswick County Board of Commissioners voted to dissolve the Brunswick County Economic Development Commission after members of the EDC's board of directors resigned their positions,
As a result, the EDC will be a new county department led by County Manager Ann Hardy as the county begins its search for a new director of the department.
Jim Bradshaw, the EDC's executive director, announced he would retire and the EDC would become a contractor to Brunswick County by Oct. 1 at a commissioners' meeting June 23.

Another telephone scam, in which someone calls residents while posing as a government employee, is making its way through Brunswick County, sheriff's office spokeswoman Emily Flax said.
"Basically someone is calling claiming to be from our office and stating that the person failed to appear for jury duty and if they don't pay via a pre-loaded money card (such as a Green Dot card) they will be arrested and jailed," Flax wrote in a Friday, June 25, news release. "The number showing on caller ID is a 910-465 number."

Great Movie,
This review is from: Billy Liar [DVD] (DVD)
As a 18 year old when I first saw this,it convinced me that I was not nuts and that other people had their own fantasy worlds just like Billy's "Ambrosia".
In the days before franking machines, the stamp tin was the personal perquisite (perk) of the junior clerk of the office.
When Billy tries to hand in his notice at the Undertakers where he works, he is told that it will not be accepted until "the stamp book balances".
The piles of unposted Christmas calendards hidden in Billy's bedroom always bring back guilty memories for me!
Also, this movie caused me to fall in love with a young and impossibly beautiful Julie Christie.
A great piece of 1960's Northern life.
Buy and enjoy

What neither of these reviews mention is the fact that the soundtrack is out of synch with the picture. This spoils what is a great film.

No! You would have shot them with an old, badly maintained Webley 38, battered them with a cosh, or slashed them with a blunt cut-throat razor. Happy days!

It is certainly a hell-of-a-lot better than the book.

Get the most out of your new iPhone or iPad. In this course, Garrick Chow provides in-depth instruction on all aspects of the Apple iPhone and iPad: making and receiving calls, emailing, browsing the web, managing your time, getting around town, taking notes, shooting photos, and listening to music. Plus, learn how to install any one of the thousands of apps from the App Store and extend the functionality of your device. Garrick devotes time to the new features in iOS 7, including iCloud Keychain, Control Center, AirDrop, and new Photos organization. The course also includes hands-on demonstrations of how to accurately type and efficiently use finger gestures, and includes tips for setting up the iPhone and iPad so they behave as expected. We also include an extensive section on troubleshooting help when the occasional glitches happen.
If you're like me, you might have noticed that you've been receiving more and more unwanted calls and solicitations on your mobile phone over the past few years. It's probably a combination of more aggressive telemarketers and the fact that so many of us use our mobile phones as our main phone, nowadays. So, our phone numbers are probably stored and listed in more databases than in the past. Whatever the case, unwanted phone calls have always been an annoying time waster. So, one of my favorite new features of iOS 7 is the ability to block specific numbers from ringing your phone. To do this, you're going to open the phone app and locate the contact you want to block.
This could be a number in your Contacts or maybe under Recent Calls, which can be useful if you want to block a number that's not in your Contacts, maybe from an unknown number or a known telemarketer. You can even block numbers in your favorites. Maybe you just want to block calls from a friend temporarily. Whichever the case, just tap the i button next to that contact's name. And then scroll down to find and tap Block This Caller. I see a message informing me that I won't receive phone calls, messages, or face time calls from people on my block list. That's fine by me, so I'll tap block contact. And that's pretty much all there is to it.
Now, any time this person tries to call or text message me, my phone will stay completely silent. Now, in the case of text messages, I'll receive no indication at all that the blocked person has sent me texts, and they won't know that I didn't receive them. If they're on an iOS device using Messages, they'll see a notification that the message was delivered, but I won't see anything on my end, and there's no way to retrieve those messages that you've received while a contact was blocked. And in the case of phone calls, my phone won't ring or offer any other indication that a blocked number is calling me, but callers will be routed directly to my voicemail. Now if they leave a message, I, again, won't get any notifications.
But if I go to my Voicemail box, I'll see I now have a folder called Blocked Messages. And inside there, I can review, listen to, or just delete any messages here without listening to them if I so choose. Now, I should also mention that blocking only works in one direction. You can block them from contacting you, but you're still free to message, call or face time your contacts any time you want, unless, of course, they've blocked you too. Now, if you decide to unblock a contact, there are a couple of ways to do so. You can locate the contact under Favorites, Recents, Contacts, or even here in Voicemail. Tap the i button, and then scroll down and choose Unblock.
Now if you've blocked a lot of people, or you've just forgotten who you've blocked, you can go to Settings> Phone> and Blocked. Now from here, you could tap Add New to block more people from your Contacts list, or you can slide your finger left across a name to delete them from this list to unblock them. And that's the call blocking feature, new to IOS 7.

Viktor Vaughn - "Vaudeville Villain"
by hopefailshearts on Comments
I've been a fan of MF DOOM from way back when he went by the name of Zev Love X in KMD. King Geedorah and MIC, Metal Fingers and Victor Vaughn. Madvillain and DangerDoom... he is one of the most creative lyricists I have ever heard, as is evidenced in one track, "I Hear Voices", from the album "Operation: Doomsday". in that song, he successfully uses "Slobodan Milosevic" and "Ortho Trycyclen" in separate rhymes.
MF DOOM models his hip-hop persona off of Marvel Comics villain "Doctor Doom", hence the sub-pseudonym Victor Vaughn. He wears a metal mask when performing and will not knowingly be photographed without it.
He often fills his albums with samples from old Fantastic Four cartoons, or anything with references to Doctor Doom and villains. Some of his albums have not been welcomed by critics and fans of mainstream hip-hop because of this very feature; a couple of his releases may go on for 30+ minutes, with only 10 minutes of rapping. The rest of the album would be beats and samples.
The album "Vaudeville Villain", or "VV" - as it is sometimes known, is probably the most widely accessible release MF DOOM has put out, as there are fewer samples and the beats are more cohesive and less bizarre then have been on other albums. And every track, other than the short opening "Overture", features a vocal track.
His lyrics are outstanding, as always. I would provide a sample, but there is simply too much to condense, and singling out a couple of lines from any one song would be pointless. His lyrical prowess is something that should be heard. There are a few guest artists, such as Lord Sear and Creature on the track "Open Mic Nite, Pt. 2".
Some of my favorite tracks: "Lickupon", "Raedawn", "Saliva", "Mr. Clean", "G.M.C." and the hidden track "Change the Beat".
Other DOOM albums worth noting: "MM...FOOD?", "Madvillainy", "Operation: Doomsday" and "DangerDoom".

2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Tempranillo
There are plenty of notable native Spanish grapes which have made a big impression on the wine world at large, but none are as renowned or as widely loved as the Tempranillo varietal. This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.
Region: La Rioja
The northern Spanish region of La Rioja has been producing many of Spain's finest and most characterful wines for generations, and is a historic region of country featuring several fascinating examples of ancient wine making practices. The wines of La Rioja stand up as some of the finest in the world, with devoted fans across the globe drawn to their rich flavors, relatively light body, and complex, deep and enticing aromas. Typically, wineries in La Rioja use the fine Tempranillo grapes which grow in abundance on the excellent soils of the region, and occasionally blend their wines with the highly aromatic Garnacha varietal, amongst others. There has also been an increase of interest in La Rioja's superb white wines in recent years, which usually utilize the Viura varietal grape and result in exquisite aged bottles.
Country: Spain
Spanish wines are renowned world-wide for carrying all the passion and character of the Spanish culture within them. Any lover of Spanish wine would undoubtedly be able to confirm this notion, as the variety and range of flavors and aromas coming from the high end of Spanish produce is truly impressive, and continues to delight and fascinate both newcomers and the more experienced. Spain benefits massively from an ideal climate for wine production and vine cultivation, with its long, scorching hot summers and far reaching oceanic breezes working perfectly with the native and imported grape varietals, which thrive on the mineral rich soils that cover much of the country. With centuries of knowledge, and generations of expertise under their belts, Spanish wineries continue to focus on raising the quality of their nation's wines, helped along the way by relatively new laws and regulations regarding regional excellence and representativeness.

what are those?
anyone know where I can buy camo cuffed jeans/pants? I know Levi's made a pair in 511's but can't find those anywhere. Any help is much appreciated
3 posts are hidden due to user account is no longer active or improper post content.
Yes. Thats the one. I'm 5'8" and 160. The waist is pretty slim, but the thigh and calfs are pretty big.http://shop.rothco.com/p/ultra-force-tiger-stripe-poly-cotton-twill-b-d-u-pants
These are the correct ones then, yeah?
So is the sizing between the two any different? I'm athletic, so my thighs are large for my build, I sometimes have to size up to 33 if the cut is super slim. Can't a tailor just fix the legs/butt area, or can they only taper?
Are those the visvim mocs?
also where can i get this or something similar?

Thanks, I failed to identify the tag. ;)^its Futura Labs. you can see the tag
I have a pair and I like them. They're not too slim but not baggy. Sort of like a slim-straight fit. The print isn't the strongest camo (more subtle for camo) if that makes sense. Quality I'd say is good. I bought my pair on sale so I can't complain. I'd say go true to size or try them on before making a decision.
I'm planning on buying a pair of these dockers alpha khaki this weekend...anybody have a pair already? What's the quality and fit on these?
Can some one who has purchased Propper, or Rothco BDU Shirts tell me how they fit? I know the sizing is kinda spotty on them. I cant determine whether I should go Small or XSmall. Any help appreciated.

In this letter, we introduce and investigate the RAKE combining receiver which is widely used in the code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems to the non-spectrum-spreading single-carrier transmission system. The initial estimate of the transmitted data is obtained by linear single-carrier equalizers, and then all the multipath signals are constructed from this initial solution and channel impulse response. By interference cancellation (IC) technique, we can acquire every multipath component in the received signal after cancelling the sum of all the other multipath signals constructed. Finally, all the components are combined together using selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC) or maximal ratio combining (MRC), so that temporal diversity gain from the combined output can be obtained. Simulation results show that bit error rate (BER) performance of the new combining receiver based on zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizers can achieve the SNR gain dramatically in the SUI-5 wireless communication link.
