Assuming the chest strap must be undone at pulltime... I see two options. I don't know which one I like better? 1) Cross arms, grab opposite side of body. 2) Best box-man belly to earth pull. The goal needs to be to keep both main lift webs across your chest. Option two widens your shoulder area. Option one holds them in place, but rounds your shoulders which might make matters worse... I had option 1 as my plan should the shit hit the fan... But, I wonder if I am wrong???? (Edit - I was typing as Dave posted... While typing, I sat in my chair looking at my arms and thought about the MLW sliding down my arms... I still wonder if crossing arms might actually promote the MLW sliding off rounded shoulders. No proof, just a thought.) Place both arms across the MLW first; then leaving your left arm in place... pull. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Dacron on a PD Reserve 193,,, indicates an older reserve which begs many more questions. How old is it? How many repacks? How many reserve rides? etc. Upsizing to Optimum 218 will increase safety more. In both cases; it depends on your reserve wingloading. I will share this with you... Nobody has ever looked up at a reserve and said, "Ya know, I really don't need this much reserve."

I really want to thank you for posting that. It came on the heels of several of us going down to the National Cemetery yesterday to visit no less than five with whom we served. In years to come, the stories will unfortunately dissipate and they will become headstones without the story.. Not unlike the many headstones we pass on the way to visit those we came to see. You read the headstone on some and wonder, ponder about their lives and their families. He gets to share his story with his family and the family of those men with whom he served. A videography of his time in WWII that can be passed down to his and their great, great, great... Again, thanks.

Just to get back on track.. if there is a surplus and resulting tax cuts to the middle class; they will have more disposable income and therefore buy more goods & services. When people buy more goods & services, it will result in more taxes; rather than high taxes being paid and thus; stimulate the economy even more. It's about moving money around and getting the government to live on a balanced budget. Period. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

You do realize that all of that goes into calculating P1 and P2, right? Sorry I didn't go into the details regarding how those are calculated, but that process isn't relevant to the conversation. Except that your calculation was incorrect and began with... "In general, if it is profitable to hire someone at 1% tax rate, it is also profitable to hire that person at a 99% tax rate."

***Borrow and spend has been the Republican SOP for at least the last three Republican administrations. Ya know, I'm not even really sure how to address this, but I'll try... Let's use the example of - You need a job. Now, let's say you're not in sales (cause the further you are away from the revenue stream; the harder it is to justify the new hire). on top of what you & I negotiate in the way of wages; I have to pay a "burden" to the government. That's what it's called - burden. Burden is defined as the costs associated with the burden rate which are hidden costs that are not readily apparent. Since total labor costs, including the burden rate, may be as much as 50% higher than payroll costs alone.. that's just for payroll taxes, worker's compensation, health insurance, etc (Statutory Taxes). Then, add in "Voluntary" which you need to attract and retain good employees... Statutory Payroll Tax Deductions - Payroll taxes must be withheld from an employee's paycheck. This is required by law. Employers must hand these withholdings over to various tax agencies. Payroll tax deductions include the following: Federal income tax withholding (based on withholding tables in Publication 15) Social Security tax withholding (6.2% up to the annual maximum) Medicare tax withholding (1.45%) State income tax withholding Various local tax withholdings (such as city, county, or school district taxes, state disability or unemployment insurance). Voluntary Payroll Deductions - Voluntary payroll deductions are withheld from an employee's paycheck only if the employee has agreed to the deduction. Voluntary deductions pay for various benefits which the employee has chosen to participate in. Voluntary payroll deductions include the following: Health insurance premiums (medical, dental, and eyecare) Life insurance premiums Retirement plan contributions (such as a 401k plan) Employee stock purchase plans (ESPP and ESOP plans) Chances are real good that if I'm facing static, additional or higher taxes in my forecast model; you're not going to get hired. However, if there is a surplus, which results in tax cuts, which results in more spending on my organization's goods & services; then you've got a shot. Unfortunately, you failed the interview, so we must part ways. Sorry, we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Agreed; of all the things people bitch about, this is pretty retarded. Objecting to violence against women is "retarded?" I "think" (hope) what joey meant was that of all the bitchin people do about other things in life... this is bad [retarded] Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

No, the counselor is wrong. President Bush successfully championed for a tax rebate, which is literally a reduction in tax. He also successfully championed other tax cuts, i.e., the Bush tax cuts. Do you dispute that? Further, under the Bush administration there was little to no job growth. Considering how low tax rates were, if supply side economics actually worked as advertised, job growth would have been much higher than during the previous administration, but it was actually much, much lower, nearly zero. First, Bush was an idiot that tried reducing taxes while increasing the expenditures for war... In effect, no tightening of the belt by Americans as was done in previous wars. Now, that was a single instance in time and should not be factored against the previous five Presidents who were successful in stimulating the economy by applying surplus to tax cuts. True tax cuts... not that stupid rebate shit. And, yes, the counselor IS correct and your mathematical equation borders on the silly. I've run four multimillion dollar businesses with as many as 300 employees and a couple with as little as five. I can guarantee you that the tax burden on business WILL be a factor in either hiring additional personnel OR adding capital equipment (jobs of suppliers) into the business forecast model.

That's one way to fictionalize history. The reality is that President Bush clearly demonstrated that tax cuts do not promote job growth and that eliminating a budget surplus in order to decrease taxes is a foolish fiscal strategy. Sorry, but you're mistaken in this case and the Counselor is correct. In the first place, there is a huge difference between a tax cut and a rebate. The bottom line is.. Extreme conservatives always push for tax cuts for the wealthy. Extreme liberals are against all tax cuts, believing that we need higher taxes to pay for government programs ... and that taxes somehow won't create any drag on the economy. Both extremes are wrong. Of which I spoke - Tax cuts for the middle class and poor stimulate the economy, but tax cuts for the wealthy hurt the economy.

On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking Encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed. This scenario was repeated each time they made Love, for more than 40 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that She needed. Arriving home around noon one day, she was Surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that His employer was going through a process of corporate Downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find Another position that paid anywhere near what He'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined. Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which Showed more than forty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued By the bank which was worth over $2 million, And informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank. She explained that for more than Three decades she had 'charged' him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the Results of her savings and investments. Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, 'If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!' That's when she shot him. You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
