    Welcome to the IHoP

    http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/18/1818.asp Virginia Introduces $3550 Speeding Ticket Virginia legislator introduces new speeding ticket tax that boosts penalties beyond $3550, driving business to his traffic law firm. Virginia motorists convicted of minor traffic violations will face a new, multi-year tax beginning July 1. Led by state Delegate David B. Albo (R-Springfield), lawmakers slipped a driver responsibility tax into a larger transportation funding bill signed by Governor Tim Kaine (D) in April. Albo, a senior partner in the Albo & Oblon, LLP traffic law firm, can expect to see a significant increase in business as motorists seek to protect their wallet from traffic tickets that come with assessments of up to $3000 in addition to an annual point tax that tops out at $700 a year for as long as the points remain. "The purpose of the civil remedial fees imposed in this section is to generate revenue," the new law states. (Virginia Code 46.2-206.1) Driving as little as 15 MPH over the limit on an interstate highway now brings six license demerit points, a fine of up to $2500, up to one year in jail, and a new mandatory $1050 tax. The law also imposes an additional annual fee of up to $100 if a prior conviction leaves the motorist with a balance of eight demerit points, plus $75 for each additional point (up to $700 a year). The conviction in this example remains on the record for five years. Other six-point convictions include "failing to give a proper signal," "passing a school bus" or "driving with an obstructed view." The same $1050 assessment applies, but the conviction remains on the record for eleven years. Although the amount of the tax can add up quickly, the law forbids judges from reducing or suspending it in any way. The tax applies only to Virginia residents, so that out-of-state motorists only need to pay the regular ticket amount. Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Texas also impose a somewhat more modest driver responsibility tax which they apply to out-of-state residents.

  7. Tap the left and right channel for it, most of the time the rears are used. You use both , a mono sub sums both channels together so both left and right are coming from the same source. Perfectly fine with such low frequencies.

    Wood Glue Showdown

    Man, if I'm using bubinga, I don't want it coming close to taking 2000 pounds of pressure anyway That'd be one serious turntable plinth or speaker baffle... Bubinga is a very dense wood . It would handle the pressure more than most domestic woods will

    Wood Glue Showdown

    I would like to see a test with some more variety of woods thrown in. From my personal experience pva glues don't work all that well with oily woods such as rosewood, bacote, bubinga . yada yada . Granted we don't encounter exotic woods much. But it would still be nice to know

    Wood Glue Showdown

    Very good , I guess now people will start to realize I'm not just talking out my arse just wished they had included the ever popular liquid nails in the test . But maybe it was left out on purpose as it's not meant for this purpose

    Using Bolts as Terminals for subs

    Used to use them all the time. Only bolts I ever had a problem with were ones that had some kind of anti corrosion coating on them.
