Travis In Austin

I heard that was a great sounding amp/setup. It is gorgeous.

They have had a plant in India for 10 years. They announced goals about a decade ago that they wanted to increase international sales to be 50 percent of total sales. Their international sakes have been creeping up, this has been critical to their overall strategy, From recent 2017 annual report analysis (Marketwatch) "Harley said it shipped 241,498 motorcycles globally, at the lower end of its guidance of 241,000 to 246,000 motorcycles it had expected. For 2018, Harley-Davidson expects to ship about 231,000 to 236,000 motorcycles globally. Harley has said it aims to add two million new riders in the U.S. over the coming decade and boost its international business to 50% of its total annual volume from around 38%. The company also is working to expand its appeal to women, minorities, young adults and city dwellers. As part of that effort, Harley-Davidson said it is on target to launch its first electric motorcycle within 18 months. Tuesday, the company said it would invest more aggressively in developing electric-biking technology.

In late 70s their Sr. Engineer over R&D in Japan, Hiroo Watanabe, was trying to capitalize on the "Detroit problem" of sacrificing comfort for style. He pictured a sphere, maximum room in smallest surface area. His team coined the phrase, Max Man, Machine Min. He later came to US in the 80s as President of Honda R&D USA. This was in a lot of textbooks at the time.

Thank you, those turned out very, very nice. Glad you got some @Chief bonehead editions. Thank you for suporting the Museum. Travis

Those look great in that room.

Haha. They sound so different to me (not saying.better, just different) it is almost like the difference between highquality headphones and good speakers. The sound is unmistakeable from Jubes, just as the bass from a Khorn is unmistakeable compared to a lot of other speakers.

I think everyone who has heard them side by side, same room, etc. , notices a remarkable difference. There are a lot of things going on that are quite different between a passive Khorn and an active Jube (apart from the obvious differences in woofer(s) and folded horn design) that cause you to HEAR different base. First, it is time aligned, and so the phasing is different, and the distortion is less, etc. For most (like with anything else) but not all, this is perceived as better sounding bass. I'm sure there are other factors as well that are way beyond my tech limited brain, like cross over points, 2 way vs. 3 way, etc. and as @Chris A mentioned just above, more flexibility in EQ settings, bass bost, etc. also impact how you perceive the bass.

I was there live, it was pretty good there too. WINTERLAND RIP

I'm disappointed in you:

Except for Aretha Franklin

Can you post some photos please?

If it is a direct tax it is unconstitutional unless amended (as in the case of Federal income tax). The 16th Amendment doesn't allow for appointment. Apportionment simply means that if the cost of running the federal Govt is one trillion, you cannot collect taxes based on which state a person lives in and/or how many live in that state. We really don't have "distribution" of federal taxes. For example the military. The military budget isnt broken down by state, or numbers of military personnel in a state, so federal income tax revenue isn't really distributed in that sense. There are a few exceptions like Farm Bill/USDA that may break down funding and grants by state or total acreage in a state. As mentioned earlier, it is pork barrel legislation, and when you try to cut a military base you have to form a commission so someone doesn't have to fear being voted out if they support the cut. On entitlement spending, like medicade, I'm not up on the precise funding formulas for that, I thought it was joint state and federal. I don't know if eligibility is set federally nationwide, or state by state. But I don't think it can be analyzed on a per capita basis. It would be like comparing Collin County with the RGV. I bet the medicade spending is five times greater per capita in the RGV than in Collin County. The conclusion is simply that more people who are eligible for medicare (poor) live in the RGV.than in Collin County. I think you would need to know the absolute numbers of people living below poverty line (I believe medicare eligilibity is based on a percentage of poverty level) in WV as compared to Texas. It is also complicated by other factors like people who are eligible for Medicaid simply dont go for treatment in some areas vs. others.

Are you saying the City, where you don't reside is trying to charge you an ad valorium property tax (tax based on property value)? If so that should be a pretty easy fix. The deed isn't controling by the way, cities can annex after a property is sold and you are responsible for the tax. The address where you tax bill is sent typically doesn't have anything to do with who charges you property taxes. 8t the location of the property and what taxing entities are entitled to charge a property tax.

Thw 16th amendment allows for an income tax so long as it isn't apportioned. In order to use "formulae" to apportion as suggested by Garyrc you would have to amend or you would run afoul of the d8rect tax clause.

It depends on the buyers State. Buy a used car from a private seller in Texas and go register it in Texas. Or even buy it in OK and bring it to TX and register it, you are going to pay sales tax.

Yes the buyer's state. By the way, my billing address is in Oregon, but I will most likely have you drop ship to Texas.

You would have to amed the US Constitution for the federal government to collect a tax and redistribute it to lical school districts, cities, counties, etc

It depends on the State the seller resides in.

Of course!
