Our Tax System Explained In Simple Terms
Simple Scout's "Urine Test" thread got me thinking.
I got this via email a while back....hope you all enjoy it.
I hope this isn't a repost.
Federal Tax System Explained In Simple Terms
Sometimes politicians, journalists and others exclaim; "It's just a tax cut for the rich!" and it is just accepted to be fact. But what does that really mean? Just in case you are not completely clear on this issue, I hope the following will help. Please read it carefully. Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand.
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner and the bill for all ten comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
a.. The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
b.. The fifth would pay $1.
c.. The sixth would pay $3.
d.. The seventh would pay $7.
e.. The eighth would pay $12.
f.. The ninth would pay $18.
g.. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.
"Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20." Dinner for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free, but what about the other six men, the paying customers?
How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to eat their meal. So, the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
a.. The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
b.. The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
c.. The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
d.. The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
e.. The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
f.. The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to eat for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than me!"
"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start eating overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Now THAT's good!
You wouldn't believe the flames I got from that post on the TTORA (Tacoma) Board.
I am just glad I'm not a weak-minded sheep that believes everything Al, journalists, and the left wing liberals shove in my face.
You really got flamed for that? What the hell were they saying?
The flames were just plain ol, run of the mill profanity laced rants. There weren't any logical or even coherent arguments.
There were alot of people on there talking bad about the "fair tax", too.
I posted the same thing on a predominantly H1/AMG populated Hummer forum (of which I am also a member) and got a lot of really well thought out and eloquently written responses. Go figure.
It really puts things into perspective. The rich man might save the most $$$ but the percentage that he is saving is far less than the rest of the men.
Exactly right, but try explaining that to the uneducated liberal sheep that are so plentiful now-a-days.
So you are saying that I will get less if I pay nothing. THAT AIN'T FAIR. Oh, but I still get to eat? Cool.
Can I have a to go box for the buffet?
Everyone has their part to play.
This was very interesting to see it laid out in such simple terms. I made sure I called and thanked everyone for lunch!
im a poor college kid, so I better do the same Monjo :p
Very nice post stainless. Our tax system has its faults IMO, but everyone does have to pay to play. And this story is a great basic explaination of the greener grass on the other side of the fence.
I can't believe you actually said the L work in public:D :D :D
:D yep, thats right
I'm reminded of a quote I heard several years ago.
"Say what you mean and mean what you say and many will trust you and respect you."
I can't remember who said it...John Wayne, or maybe Ronald Reagan... ?

"How to Wear Your Bright, Warm and Deep Colors… So That You Look and Feel Beautiful Everyday"
Learn how to use your bright color wheel and style guide to create unique and amazing outfits… while shopping or staring blankly at your closet…
From the Desk of Jen Thoden
February 17, 2017
How many times have you picked up a sweater while shopping, only to put it back because you have no idea what you would wear it with?
Or worse… you purchase the item, only to have it sit in your closet because you nothing seems to go with it. What a waste!
Imagine if you had a tool at your finger tips that will help you discover endless options to wear that beautiful sweater.
Imagine shopping with confidence because you KNOW what colors look perfect on you. Better yet… imagine being able to combine different pieces of clothes like a professional stylist… designing a stunning outfit that makes you simply GLOW.
It's easy to shop for a top in a color from your color palette… wear it with jeans and you're done! And that's OK some of the time…
But what about all those times when you want to dress BETTER than a top and jeans? How would it feel to dress everyday looking like a professional stylist pulled you together?
My name is Jen Thoden and I'm an online color style coach and founder of the proprietary color system, Your Color Style™. My passion is color and I LOVE transforming women from drab and tired… to stunning and glowing. I've seen it over and over again.

A professionally styled outfit in your perfect colors can make all the difference in a day. You feel beautiful… you walk with more confidence… you'll love looking in the mirror… you'll smile… you will literally GLOW!
I've seen so many beautiful women get it wrong. They may we wearing the right color on top… but then they've paired it with the WRONG accessories or pants… and instead of looking great… they look frumpy and mismatched. Just a little off.
It's easy to dismiss not needing a perfectly styled outfit… but you DESERVE to look and feel beautiful everyday. It's not like it takes anymore time to add one accessory that will set you apart and have people wondering what you've done differently.
This is what inspired me to create a style guide for each color type. Once you know your color type… I want you to be able to know how to use your color palette as your secret weapon.

You're going to have so much fun combining unique color combinations and pieces of clothing… that you'll find a dozen ways to wear just one top. It's like the door of your imagination is finally unlocked!
And that sweater you never wear… because you have nothing to wear it with… may become your favorite piece of clothing!
PLUS… you'll discover your friends and family asking you to help them with their colors. How fun is that?!
A 45-Page E-Book That *SHOWS* You Your Perfect Color Combinations In Your Bright, Warm and Deep Colors… With Over 70 Outfit Ideas and Unlimited Color Combinations… You'll Dress With Confidence and Style Everyday!

Discover color combinations that are unique and surprising.

Atlas Copco CEO Ronnie Leten visited Turkey in early October and closely reviewed the developments in Turkey market, which they deem important. Mining Turkey team was also invited to a special press conference during his visit. You can find the interview with Ronnie Leten on page 18. October 2014 1 Editor www.miningturkeymag.com New regulations and new safety standards O. Çağım Tuğ | [email protected] Soma disaster hit close to the heart. 301 miners died because of this terrible calamity. The incident took its place in the country's history for being the worst-ever mining disaster of Turkey and it revealed how unprepared Turkey is to such emergencies and how it terribly fails to meet global work safety standards. A detailed summary of the disaster is compiled under "What happened in Soma", free of criticism or discussion. Since the disaster in May, Turkey has been especially working on workplace safety. The terms of the latest omnibus bill resulted in cessation of operation in many small and medium scale enterprises around Zonguldak, a region known for extracting the highest quality hard coal. As the underground mine fire is still burning, Soma investigation expert reports could not be concluded, however, we can say that efforts toward more severe sanctions and higher standards have been intensely continuing. Authorities, especially the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources is focused on specifying proper work safety regulations with the help of experiences acquired from mine tours abroad and suggestions of foreign experts invited. International standards and technological advances have been presented to the Ministry at workshops, in which Güner Gürtunca, a former executive at NIOSH in USA and a mining engineer who had worked in Soma basin, was also present. It should be noted that facilities must be kept able to continue their productions whithout compromising the safety standards. In this context, we, as Mining Turkey, decided to organize a seminar on New Mining Technologies and Maximizing Benefits by inviting one of our writers; Mustafa Kahraman, from University of Arizona and MISOM Technologies, to Turkey. We believe that this seminar, scheduled for October at Hacettepe University, will provide important contributions to the sector. Preparatory periods of new EIA regulations and Mine Waste regulations are going through a similar course. According to the new EIA regulations, marble and natural stone miners will be processed the same as other mining facilities. Another change planned is to include prospecting activites in the same context of oil, natural gas and geothermal search. To consider these two fields that have different circumstances and conditions in the same context will bring extra workload to mineral prospecting that is already in decline due to the Ministry Circular; making it more challenging. Some important changes are planned for Mine Waste Regulations, as well. In the Mine Waste Regulation draft, mine wastes are exempted from special waste status by adaptations from and with references to current Hazardous Waste Control Regulations and Regulations on Systematic Waste Storage, and it contradicts with 2008 "Regulations on General Principles on Waste Management", which conformed to EU acquis. This will cause juridical conflicts and result in public perception of mine wastes to be hazardous wastes. In our country, when applied and future legislations are being prepared, European Union Directives are taken into account. However, as we pointed out above, some of the bills in the preparatory period contain conflicts with EU Directives. In such conditions, hearing the representatives of the sector and involving the sector in preparation of new bills and regulations is of utmost importance for the future of the industry and to assure that the regulations are enforceable. Production in our country persists despite lower metal prices and closed down facilities. However, Gold Miners Association have announced that the numbers are expected to be below production targets for 2014. All these make up a base for the notion that finding projects that will lead to production will become a challenge in the following years in our country, where especially prospecting is already struggling.

Below are a list of commonly asked questions from WCMS users.
Q: Our site uses ".shtml" file extensions to use server side includes. If we decide to use Site Builder, could we create pages so our redesigned site would have the same result -sections of the page are "pre-loaded" and consistent from page to page, with other areas that of the page that could easily be edited by a content contributor?
A: Yes, to repurpose content you could use Site Builder's feature boxes, which are customizable per entire site, or per individual page. You could also use XHTML blocks, which are static snipits of XHTML that can be plugged into any region of your template. See more information on blocks.
Q: I currently maintain a local version of our site so that I can make changes and check them out before publishing. Webtest does the same thing but allows us additional flexibility since it has a URL administrators or other stakeholders could look at it before we go live. Is this possible using the WCMS?
A: Yes, the WCMS allows you to render/preview pages before publishing them out. You can also publish pages to Webtest so they have a corresponding URL.
Q: Can I use .htaccess to restrict access to specific folders, like I do on Webserve?
A: Yes, you can create an .htaccess page asset in the WCMS and then publish the .htaccess to your Webserve site. You can also use the WCMS directly to manage permissions and groups and restrict access as necessary. See more information on access rights.
Q: If we decide to use WCMS, could we still use newsroom to populate our directories?
A: Yes, newsroom uses PHP code which can be included in the WCMS and published. You will not see the results until you have published it out to a server that supports PHP (i.e. Webserve, or Webtest).
Q: If I know HTML, CSS, some basic Dreamweaver editing, and understand XML in principle, how much of a challenge will it be for me to make the transition to WCMS and Site Builder?
A: Site Builder comes pre-packaged with the necessary templates and stylesheets. XML and XSLT will become necessary if you plan on modifying the template or stylesheets, but is not needed for basic content editing. See Using Site Builder.
Q: We use Javascript code called spamspan to create e-mail links because it adds extra coding to avoid bots. Does Site Builder recognize this tool, or have an alternative?
A: Yes, The WCMS does support/render Javascript, so this will work.
Q: I am new to WCMS where do I get started and learn more?
A: You can learn more on the below pages:

China-German economic ties set for rebalancing By: Published on: December, 2013 Germany's export machine will be hit by a rebalancing of China's economy, but the special relationship between the world's second- and fourth-largest economies might provide a springboard for the development of more sustainable economic ties. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus That future will see a blurring of their respective traditional economic roles: China selling Germany textiles, electronic goods and toys; and Germany selling China capital goods the machinery and equipment that helped turn it into the worlds factory. If China delivers on the domestic-driven growth it has promised, Germany might sell less machinery and power-station turbines, but it will sell more and more of the quality consumer goods it is so good at producing, from cars to luxury kitchens, and high-end audio equipment to sporting goods. Although two-way trade is down, Germany ran a trade surplus of 4.7 billion with China in the first six months of this year, according to figures from Eurostat, placing it on track to reverse the 10.7 billion surplus registered by China in 2012. Germany accounted for 45%, or 32.4 billion, of the EU's exports to China in the first half of 2013, according to Eurostat. Source: Eurostat Investment is already an increasingly important feature of the Sino-German relationship. In addition to an ever increasing tally of joint ventures, China is buying up a small but growing number of Germanys Mittelstand small and medium-sized private firms and Germany is investing in manufacturing plants in China. But analysts warn that slower Chinese growth will hit both sides, as China transitions from its current export-led investment growth model to a consumption-driven domestic economy. The old Schumpeter idea of creative destruction sounds good, but the fact is in the real world the destruction comes first and the creation comes later. A big change for an economy like China invariably involves a slow patch, says Charles Dumas, Lombard Street Researchs chief economist. In the past 10 years China has been growing at 10% a year and consumption growing at 7%, but investment was hugely increasing its share. In future we expect consumption to continue to grow at 7% but GDP to grow at only about 5% a year. This means investment, which is the main source of German sales to China, is hardly growing at all. If China is slowing down in general, and particularly in the area of investment, then that does mean that the German export machine will see very much less growth than in the past. Dumas says German exporters are feeling the impact already, with weaker October orders. Orders for capital goods from outside the eurozone are down more than 5%. Ultimately, domestic-driven growth can replace investment growth. But if you have an investment rate of 48% of GDP when it should be 35%, if investment is falling the other 52% has to do quite a lot of work just in order to keep the economy moving at all, let alone going up. He adds: The 52% is mostly government or personal consumption, but also a little bit of net exports and since theyre heavily overvalued as well, the net exports piece is not very constructive, so you dont get this rebalancing in any easy kind of way. The days of Sino-German interdependence might already be numbered. Chinas growing importance to Germany can be seen in the number of German firms attributing their resilience to European austerity to China orders, and Berlins reluctance to confront China on virtually any issue. China is moving up the manufacturing value chain, becoming an increasingly effective competitor in Germanys traditional industrial domains. A recent study by a global investment bank identifies several sectors expected to face rivalry from China before long, from power generation to high-speed rail. With rebalancing likely only to slow, not halt, the rise of Chinas industrial power, German industrys competitiveness might increasingly depend on retaining its edge in technology, design, and quality. That edge shows little sign of being eroded. For example, BMW is launching its new cutting-edge i3 all-electric car in China next year but Brilliance Auto, its local partner of 10 years, is lagging behind with its own green-car projects, and will need BMWs help to try to catch up. So far this year, there have been 13 Chinese acquisitions of German firms, worth $1.3 billion, according to Squire Sanders, a law firm that advises Chinese clients on outbound investment and M&A. Thats down on last year when 15 deals worth around $3.2 billion were four times the value of deals in 2011. By comparison, VW alone is investing 18.2 billion in China in new production facilities and products between 2014 and 2018. However, like most foreign investment in China, it will be through VWs joint ventures with Chinese partners.

Visiting this idyllic setting may change your life.I picked this setting for my 59th birthday trip because I wanted to hang out with animals and I got my wish. After meeting Jack, Sophie and Alice(an extremely cute chicken) as well as many other chickens, two turkeys and two beautiful horses and one of the three cats...I realized that I could no longer justify eating animals. The owners are very dedicated to their flock but equally to their guests. The breakfasts were out of this world yummy. Lin and Lynn were the perfect hosts - attentive but not obtrusive, and the best thing was we got to visit up close with the animals. The entire farm is immaculately clean and cozy. I am already trying to figure out when I may be able to return. Very relaxing!! Almost forgot - I was made a birthday pie! Thanks Lynn!!!

we loved this place and hope to return one day soon! Our studio was very comfortable & quaint. But the fun starts when you stroll around the farm & meet the family-dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys...all interested in meeting you! Town is within walking distance & has some good dining options. But what I enjoyed the most was talking to Lin-he made us feel at home & had many interesting insights on nature, farming-everything. It was a great way to start our vacation!

In February, my husband and I spent four nights and almost five days at Shady Grove Farm during which we relaxed in the warmth of Lin's caring attention to detail, unobtrusive but friendly presence and gourmet meals. From the moment we walked into the spacious main house suite and living room we felt refreshed by its light-filled beauty and the gracious style of our hosts. The private hot tub just outside the suite was a nurturing bonus that we enjoyed almost daily. Lin put extra effort into preparing meals and snacks that we would enjoy; we felt pampered! Lin and Lynn truly enjoy getting to know their guests. We were honored to be welcomed into their home and will certainly return to experience the beauty of Shady Grove Farm in another season.

A lovely setting with welcoming hosts. A delicious outdoor breakfast on a slightly chilly autumn morning next to a fire was heavenly.

Warm welcome, beautiful surroundings, comfortable room, yummy food. I wish everywhere I stayed was like this.

My husband and I stayed at Shady Grove for 3 days in the main house. Accommodations were roomy, comfortable, and well-appointed, and Lin and Lynn are exceptional hosts. From the arrangements prior to arrival, to making us feel at home, to feeding us exquisite breakfasts, to chatting about any number of topics, we felt like old friends. And the horses, dogs, chickens and cats were all delightful, also making us feel right at home. This is a very unique B&B experience - we highly recommend Shady Grove to anyone visiting the Ashland area - don't worry about being outside of Ashland, it's very close, and nice to stay outside of town. We will definitely be going back soon!

My wife and I spent four nights at Shady Grove and enjoyed it immensely. Lin and Lynn are gracious and outgoing hosts and our accommodations were more than pleasant. We loved the animals on the farm (which are all rescue animals--KUDOS!), especially "Jack the Wonder Dog". The breakfasts were superb--nutritious and beautifully served on the patio. We had a great time!

The location is a gem for those wishing to explore Jackson County, Oregon, as it an easy driving distance from Ashland, local wineries, and Jacksonville. The setting was a lovely country farm, with views of evergreen-covered hills. Our room in the house was beautiful, with a large bathroom, and access to private deck for breakfast dining and hot tub (also available are detached studio, rental house, and "glamping" tent. The hosts were hospitable and knowledgeable, making for a very pleasant stay! We definitely would return.

Wow, we really recommend this awesome B&B. From the start, we were sincerely welcomed and cared for by Lin and Lynn. You really feel in touch with the land here. Lynn cooks up truly crafted, mouth-watering farm-fresh breakfasts (sometimes right from their own chickens!) with herbs from the garden, while Lyn works around the farm and kitchen. The home and grounds are relaxing and well cared for. Jack and Sophie, the dogs, and other animals, are a delight, as are Lyn and Lynn. We were truly refreshed. Lyn and Lynn's attention to details (e.g. gluten-free options, a newspaper, chocolates on the bed) were all so thoughtful!

~ Love Gone ~ - Poem by Brandy Avery
With you gone, I've never felt so free. Just being alone with my kids and me. My stress remarkable is low. With no help from above and below. My love for you is ready to die. Our love was nothing but a lie. My strength and dreams come back to me. With you I could not see. My eyes are wide open for the first time. My heart and soul are once again mine. You pushed me down to the ground. My faith will never be unfound. The things you said and did hurt. You treated me and kids like dirt. Once again I am able to dream. Without waking up in a scream. I'm feeling like a bird flying free. Free once again to just be me.

Looking at lifts... Zone Offroad???
I bought a 98 Tj a few months back and am looking for a lift kit. It is currently stock except 31" tires and I'd like to move up to 33" tires. This is my daily driver and I want it to be fairly capable offroad. I don't offroad a whole lot so it will be mainly used on road. My last vehicle was a 96 blazer. I lifted it 4" and found out it didn't make for a good daily driver afterwords. It road like a park bench and had almost no suspension travel. Always wanted another Jeep, and being that it has a solid front axle I no that in itself will make it better lifted. I'm looking at the zone offroad kit because its cheap ($529.00) and seems to have everything needed to do a good lift. I no it has a transfer case drop and rear pinion cam locks, is that enough so I don't have a driveshaft vibration? Are there any bad things about this kit? anything else I need to buy when doing the lift? Any help would be greatly appeciated!!!
Can u post a link of the lift u are talkin about
I run the 4" Zone suspension lift on a 98 TJ 2.5L. Everyone has their opinions, but I have to say I am very happy with it. If I wasn't a full time student working 2 full time jobs trying to pay the bills I might have gone with something more pricy, but the Zone kit has definitely surpassed my expectations. This was the first life I've installed, and it couldn't have gone smoother. The only issues I've had were removing the rear upper shock bolts, which was no fault of the lift. Other than that, it went very smooth and came with everything I needed. The only extras I got were the upgraded shocks, and a new steering stabilizer. With the transfer case drop and the pinion cam locks, I have no vibrations. I gained more around 5" to 5.5" of lift compared to the 4" it advertises. Keep in mind I have the 2.5l, and little armor, but even so I'm very happy with it.
In short, the kit provided me with everything needed, and I ended up without any vibrations. I've had it installed since September, and so far I have nothing but good things to say about it. I drive over 50 miles one way to work five days a week, and during the school year I add about 30 miles to my commute. So needless to say I put quite a few miles on my Jeep, and it rides quite nice. I've also had the kit up to Rausch Creek quite a few times (as well as many local trails) and its performed very well. If you want to see some pictures, checkout blueridgejeepers.org and look for the white TJ with black half doors. I don't have a ton up there, but there are a few good ones showing how it flexes and what not. Its performed very well off road, especially in comparison with others in the club with similar lifts. I would highly recommend it for someone who isn't looking to spend a ton of money on a lift but wants one of good quality. If you have any more questions about the lift or installing it, don't hesitate to ask. They have great support as well if you need to contact them; I had a few questions and they were very helpful for me.
I have installed two Zone lifts on some friends Jeeps. one on a TJ and the other on a JK. The install was easy and the highway manners were good. We did go with the gas shocks which I think help the highway ride. Very good system for the money.
yeah guess I should have said I'm running 33x12.50s. No issues with rubbing yet, I've stuffed them as much as possible and only had slight rubbing on the flare (was flexed as far as I could have). Could probably get away with 35s if you had everything else beefed up.
Zone is owned/made by BDS, who have a very good reputation. I would feel comfortable buying their stuff... Check the warranty, I know BDS is warrantied for life....
Anybody who's installed one ran into issues with needing an SYE?
I emailed Zone a while back and this was the response I got for those interested:
I have the 4" installed. I'm happy with it but mine needs extras. Brake line extenders for the front, the shift boot doesn't fit anymore, vibrations from hell (I refused to wallow out my upper rear control arm mounts to use those "keys"). I bought rear adjustable upper arms and it still vibs but not as bad, need the SYE. Could use some front upper arms to get the steering back to stock feeling. If I had to do it again, I would buy and install upper arms all the way around, the SYE, and a anti-rock sway before I bought the lift.
here is their warranty info
Warranty & Policy Information | Zone Offroad Products
No SYE needed here, but I used the provided cam locks with the transfer case drop and I have no vibes. I'll be doing an SYE soon though just so I can get things tucked back up; I don't like having that shovel sitting so low when I'm off road.
Well i think I might go with the zone offroad 4" lift. I'm a little worried about the vibration in the rear and not sure why one person would have trouble but another one wouldn't. It seems like the kit was built so you wouldn't need a SYE. I hope I don't run into the same issues. i figured on buying the upgraded shocks and steering stabilizer, what about extended brake lines? Anything else I need to look into buying? I have to wait a lil bit to get started, but want to get a list of parts to get her done so she's not down for more than a few days. The wife says I can't start the Jeep till I finish puttin in insulation and drywall in the garage. Thanks for the help so far everyone!!!
Zone is a sister company of BDS, just to let you know.
I had the same question about brake lines; I asked Zone and they said that they were not needed. I have flexed my suspension as far as I could on the trail and haven't had any problems yet, and I'm very careful to have others watch to make sure things won't bind/break since my Jeep is a daily driver. Also, one of the people who said they have vibrations said they have them because they didn't use the provided cam locks. Thats why they are having vibrations, not because the kit didn't work for them.
Other than the steering stabilizer and upgraded shocks, I didn't purchase anything extra. I did get a pair of coil spring compressors from harbor freight for less than $40 that helped install the springs, but they aren't needed. They just made it easier. The only extra parts I bought to supplement the kit were four bolts for the rear upper shock mounts, but thats only because I ended up needing to cut those bolts out because they were seized up.
There is a vendor on here that sells Zone products in case anybody was wondering
Good Morning!
If you want to run 33s then you can go to the 3" coil combo kit. This kit includes the 1.25" body lift and the JKS motor lift. It will recenter the fan in the shroud and seriously lessen the potential of rear shaft vibes. Click here to see the 3" kit and then click on the combo packages tab.
PM me your zip code for pricing to your door.
Thanks for mentioning I am in the Vendors section. Everyone have a great day.

With my jeep on jackstands, shocks mounted, my lines did not look like tere was enough slack so I unbolted the brackets and they hang
As far as not using the supplied "Cam Locks" and going with adjustable upper arms and still having vibrations, I would not think that's why it didn't work for me..?
You are getting relaxed. As I count back from five to one, you will become more relaxed.
5.... Your falling deeper into a state of relaxation.
4... You feel you arms and feet relax more with every breath.
3... Your eyelids are feeling very heavy and you don't know if you can hold them open any longer.
2... Every part of you is feeling extremely relaxed now.
1... You are fully relaxed and deep in a state of bliss. Even with your eyes closed you can still read this post.
You know you have always wanted a Zone Offroad suspension on your rig. Repeat after me... I WILL buy one... I will call, PM, or email Allen's Offroad and order one.
When I count back to one you will be fully awake, refreshed, and alert.
5... You will be fully aware of where you are and your surroundings.
4... You will be vigilant in your desires for a Zone Offroad suspension.
3... You are becoming more awake now.
2... You are relaxed and feeling confident in your ability to purchase from Allen's Offroad because of their excellent customer service and prices.
1... You are fully awake and alert.
Thanks for playing along.
Quick zone combo question
Sorry I did not mean to bring this thread back to life I meant to make a new post. Delete please thanks : )
I just partially installed the zone combo 4.25" lift. Right now I have the suspension lift installed and the 3" lift makes a world of difference. I do have slight vibration but I haven't installed the motor mount lifts yet. The body lift looks like it will be a pain because the body bolts are severely rusted and I don't think I can the job done without cutting holes in the body in order to drill out the rusted bolts. The kit comes with everything you need just make sure to keep the old hardware for the shocks and coils. I would recommend the lift for sure

text: BLUE BELL, Pa., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) announced today that it has been awarded the Enterprise Computing Center Support (ECCS) contract from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to continue support of the agency's mission-critical computer environment. Under this single-award indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, the IRS can award Unisys task orders to provide support and maintenance services for the IRS computing environment, including Unisys ClearPath Dorado servers. These systems and others in the IRS tier-one computing environment support all of the agency's mission-critical functions such as processing tax returns and maintaining taxpayer records. The IDIQ contract has a one-year base period and nine one-year options, exercisable at the discretion of the government, with a ceiling value of $650 million over 10 years if all options are exercised. All work on this contract will be performed under task orders. The first task order awarded so far to Unisys under the contract is firm-fixed-price and has a one-year base period and nine one-year options, exercisable at the discretion of the government. The value of the contract's base period is approximately $14.6 million.

"With this contract award, Unisys continues our work with the IRS to help the agency with its mission-critical computing operations," said Venkatapathi "PV" Puvvada, group vice president, civilian agencies, Unisys Federal Systems.

Take care of horses, assist in riding lessons, clean stables, organize events.
The project
The main objective of this center is to improve coordination and orientation skills. The center consists of 8 staff members who all have lots of experience working with physically or mentally disabled persons. Volunteers come from around the globe to be a part of this team.
The center has a unique approach which is based on the powerful combination of equine therapy and the use of alpha waves. Alpha waves influence peoples emotional behaviour and the central nervous system. They can also release endorphins which produces happiness and calmness within the person, this means that patients are distracted from mental and physical pain as well as helping with social skills.
When riding the patients alpha waves rise which result in an increase of physical and mental abilities. The centre also offers conventional therapies such as speech therapies to help the patients during there stay this is teamed with alternative therapies such as music therapy.
The centre has a riding hall, a cafeteria, an administrative office, a volunteer house and a therapy house. The aim for this is to improve the patients lives who enter this centre either socially or mentally. The principle objectives are early learning for children up to six years, social integration, equality of opportunities, and rehabilitation for children, teenagers and adults are their principal objectives.
The work
On a typical working day volunteers are expected to take care of the horses by feeding them and cleaning the stables, they are also expected to help take part in riding lessons, while also help in other seminars offered and general work around the centre and inside the cafeteria.
This project is very rewarding and appropriate for people with experience in physiotherapy so they will be able to support the therapists. Experience is very welcomed but is not a requirement as anyone who wants to can join the project. Volunteers should have some basic knowledge about horses and love working with children, if you are unfamiliar with horses you will be given a basic training course.
In your spare time there are many different activities to do such as horse riding and a variety of sports. There are also many bars and restaurants to socialize in Quito which can be reached by public bus within approximately an hour.
Yes, you will be picked up from our service and taken to your destination. On arrivals after 6pm you have to pay the driver an additional 15 USD.
Volunteers will be living in a volunteer house which is on the centers land. The house is very basic but cozy with hammocks and cooking utensils provided. Usually dorms are boys and girls unless there is a room shortage where they may be mixed.

The Clinton Foundation
William Jefferson Clinton, the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice, led the U.S. to the longest economic expansion in American history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs.
After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to improve global health and wellness, increase opportunity for women and girls, reduce childhood obesity, create economic opportunity and growth, and help communities address the effects of climate change. In 2013, to recognize the contributions of Secretary Clinton and Chelsea to the Foundation and to acknowledge their role in shaping the Foundation's future, the Foundation was renamed the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
Today the Foundation has staff and volunteers around the world working to improve lives through several initiatives, including the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which is helping 8.2 million people living with HIV/AIDS access lifesaving drugs. The Clinton Climate Initiative, the Clinton Development Initiative, and the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership are applying a business-oriented approach to fight climate change worldwide and to promote sustainable economic growth in Africa and Latin America. In the U.S., the Foundation is working to combat the alarming rise in childhood obesity and preventable disease through the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the Clinton Health Matters Initiative. Established in 2005, the Clinton Global Initiative brings together global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues. So far, more than 2,800 Clinton Global Initiative commitments have improved the lives of more than 430 million people in 180 nations.
In addition to his Foundation work, President Clinton has joined with former President George H.W. Bush three times – after the 2004 tsunami in South Asia, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Hurricane Ike in 2008, and with President George W. Bush in Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. Today the Clinton Foundation supports economic growth, job creation, and sustainability in Haiti.
President Clinton's most recent book, Back To Work, was an immediate New York Times Bestseller. President Clinton offers specific recommendations on how we can put people back to work and create new businesses, increase bank lending and corporate investment, double our exports, and restore our manufacturing base.
President Clinton's bestselling memoir, My Life, is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact his work and his ideals have had on America and the world.
President Clinton's inspiring book, GIVING: How Each of Us Can Change the World, provides a robust look at how individual endeavors can save lives and solve problems, and it offers compelling examples of both citizen and corporate activism at work in the world today.
President Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas. He and his wife Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton have one daughter, Chelsea, and live in Chappaqua, New York.

does spicework can monitor the network usage for the end user by daily or weekly?
i saw a record show on the lan card can count the bps in /out.
I think if spiceworks can collect those data,it may count the network usage for the end user.

Petes PC Repairs is an IT service provider.
it is the bandwidth monitor you probably saw, it only measures the interface not the user, has you web monitoring software not got something in there to report on what each user has been doing and bandwidth used
Feb 5, 2012 at 11:48 UTC
Hi peter,
i understand that spiceworks can only monitor network interface usage and can't filter web usage only.
i think it is enough for me in this case.
i was trying to setup a report using SQL to collect all device bandwith usage at last day .but it seems diffcult.
besides, i found spiceworks has a default report can collect device bandwith usage.but i can't confim those data's caulation method.
i am still finding the solution.

Good Effort... not quite there...
... long drive but it was a very persistent Supercell near Valentine, SD.
Around Thedford we caught up with the cell and played dodge the Hail core for a bit, taking some structure pictures all the while. Up over a ridge it gave it a good go, with circulation attempting to drop, but just couldn't get the job done.

text: Plot: A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned...

Diet, Work and Lifestyle for People with AS
Questions about diet and arthritis are very common. We all want to know what we can do to help ourselves. Can we change our diet to improve our immune system and help our arthritis? Changing our diet gives us a sense of control over a disease which often seems to have a mind of its own.
Unfortunately, there is no diet that has been proven to significantly alter the course of AS or other types of arthritis. Following the basics of healthy eating can help improve health and well-being in everyone, including those with AS. Keeping a healthy weight can help reduce the load on your weight-bearing joints including the spine and hips.
Work and Travel
The pain and stiffness caused by AS can sometimes limit people's normal activities, including work. But there are things you can do to lessen the impact of AS on your work and daily routine. If you find out you have AS when you're still young, consider choosing a career that won't be physically demanding on your joints, especially your spine.
If you have a job where you sit for much of the day, adjusting features of your workplace can help make working with AS easier. For example, adjusting the position of chairs and desks for proper posture can help. You can also make adjustments to the seat of your vehicle to make driving more comfortable and reduce the stress on your spine.
Traveling with AS
Traveling is still possible when you have AS. It is best to be organized prior to your trip to ensure a smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable time. See our travel check list.
Alcohol Consumption
Many of us like to share a glass of wine, a beer, or a spirit from time to time. Unfortunately, due to the nature of AS, some people may turn to alcohol to help cope with the pain and distress. Alcoholic beverages are not an effective treatment for AS. They can also interact with some medications. Besides, there are so many effective treatments available for AS, you don't need to try to manage your illness with alcohol.
Cigarette smoking, whether you have AS or not, has no positive effects on any aspect of your health. Smoking can be especially harmful to people with AS whose upper spine is affected by the disease. That's because when the upper spine is inflamed and the bones begin to fuse together, it's harder to breathe in deeply. If you are a smoker with AS, quitting could be one of the best things you can do to improve your overall health.
Although AS does not particularly cause a loss of sex drive, it can cause pain, fatigue and emotional hardships. These hardships can create barriers to sexual needs, ability and satisfaction. Take comfort knowing that sex and intimacy can be maintained in people with AS … it can even draw partners closer together, especially through improved communication between mates.
For more information on intimacy and arthritis, a great book is Rheumatoid Arthritis: Plan to Win by Sheryl Koehn, Taysha Palmer and John Esdaile.

The Bengals are facing a backlash over their decision to draft running back Joe Mixon, who punched a woman in the face while at Oklahoma.
Cincinnati added to its reputation for embracing players with troubled histories when it took Mixon in the second round. Even before Mixon arrived in town on Saturday, the choice was getting panned.
WCPO-TV posted an editorial on Saturday afternoon saying the club had gone too far this time. The editorial urged fans to stop buying Bengals tickets and instead donate money to organizations that work to prevent violence against women.
Wearing a black Bengals polo shirt and a gold chain, Mixon got a warm reception at a fan event at Paul...
