Presented by Texas Performing Arts and the Department of Theatre and Dance
Texas Performing Arts and the UT Department of Theatre and Dance present two of today's most distinguished choreographers in an exciting evening of dance.

Anderson is artistic director of Dance Theatre X. Founded by Anderson in 2003, this Philadelphia based afro-contemporary dance theatre company was selected among the "25 to Watch" in 2008 by Dance Magazine.

Recent reviews:
September 30, 2013 - This is a stunning sweater! The uniqueness of it, the feel of the cloth - feels lovely and looks great! A perfect accent for any outfit.
September 11, 2013 - Not sure what the sizing issues are. I ordered a size Medium hoping that it would be small - and nope, it was Medium. So a size too big, but forgiving and drapey and soft and pretty. I'm thinking about ordering the small grey one.
February 19, 2013 - The sizing on this is way off. I wear a 1X and bought the 2X which I couldn't even get on. I was very disappointed and strongly urge that sizing be checked before. Shipping it back cost almost $10.00!
February 4, 2013 - Runs very, very small .. I wear medium and ordered XL .. turned out to be like a size 4.
November 26, 2012 - Cute, soft. Pretty colors. But runs VERY small. I wear XL; ordered the 2x and it didn't fit at all. Need to order at least 2 sizes larger than you normally wear.

I am curious what benefit a shop would provide vs a mobile inspection service. I know a lift is helpful in seeing certain parts of the car, and an engine code scanner is very helpful. Any others?

Really depends on the car, but I'd certainly include a good pair of drive-on ramps in the list (so you don't need to put it on a lift) and a strong flashlight or similar light source.
Also, I'd take a magnet depending on the age of the car, so you can detect rust or collision "repairs" that are 90% bondo. If we're talking older or more valuable cars, I'd think a compression and a leakdown tester would come in handy, too.

You show two tall plastic cups. The cups are tipped, and 4 coins come out of each cup. The coins are dropped back into the cups, and the magic begins!
You pretend to remove a coin "invisibly" from one cup, and toss it "invisibly" into the second cup. When the cups are tipped, 3 coins emerge from the first cup, and five coins from the other! The coin really did travel invisibly from one cup to the other!
The coins are replaced and this is repeated, with one coin removed from one cup and re-appearing in the other, until all 8 Coins have gathered in the same cup!
Best of all, once you know the basic principle, you can modify this routine and use eight coins, six coins or four!

Although this is more a general food related question, I wonder why chewing gum sometimes changes its texture and looses its chewy quality?

I think it has something to do with the type of hydrocolloid that is being used in the specific gum you are chewing. Most are pretty stable but also need a specific combination of pH, moisture, and temperature to stay within their desired texture range. A comprehensive understanding of the different types of hydrocolloids can be found here:

Sensible. Prudent. Practical. What do these words have in common? They're all adjectives that no one ever really uses to describe candy. You can change that, however. By incorporating small candy giveaways into your business's marketing plan, you can demonstrate that you know what your customers really want, which is sugar. Hand out a few mints, and you'll demonstrate that you also know what people need, sometimes even before they do--whew!
How many people are you trying to reach with your promotional giveaway? To spread your company's name far and wide, put your logo on our custom candy packets. Inside the foil packet will be a few pieces of tiny candies, like mints or jellybeans. Outside will be your company's logo, printed in vivid color. These candy packets are priced to appeal to even the most budget-conscious marketing professionals. Spend a little bit of money, get your name in the minds of a lot of people.
For a bigger takeaway, consider giving away our customizable candy totes or cardboard candy boxes. These bags and boxes are still the right size for your customers to bring home, but they hold a few more sweet treats than the foil packets, giving your logo more time in front of your customers while giving your customers more candy to enjoy. Candy totes and candy boxes come with your company's logo imprinted on them, and our "show-me" candy boxes also have slots on the inside of the lid to hold business cards (just above the plastic window that gives customers a sneak peek at their treats).
If you're worried that customers will forget your company's name as soon as they finish snacking, first of all, don't underestimate the power of sweet, sweet candy. If the mighty goodness of sugar does nothing to convince you, though, or if you're just looking for a long-lasting promotional item, take a look at our many customizable candy jars and tins. They'll remain on your customers' countertops well after the candy is done, and as a bonus, many of them can be filled with candies that are also stamped with your logo.
That's right, we can print your company information not only on the candy's packaging, but also on the candy itself! From chocolate mints to chewy fruit Sprees, we have a hard candy for you to personalize and give away, though we'll tell you now that logos and icons work far better on candies than company web addresses. To get an idea, take a look at some of our bulk candy offerings.
While you're searching, be sure to note that we offer sugar-free candies as well. Although we here at Quality Logo Products have been known to enjoy the sugar, we know that not everyone can indulge. Sugar-free candies make sure that everyone gets to enjoy your marketing message.
Whether you give them away at trade shows, school events, or client meetings, customized candies will tell people what a treat it is to work with your company!

I dont know about the stuff about the chat being better because some of the very VIP members were jagoffs for free so why would they all of sudden become civil. Back to my basic arguement why not have Gold, Silver and Bronze donators that would all be able to talk in the special people's chat room and then designate other stuff among the levels. I'm sure that you would get more participation and better serve the site, make the levels 12, 24 and 36 dollars respectively. This is a great site and I'm sure all members want to do thier part, I just don't think everybody wants to do thier 36 dollar part. I do have one complaint about the site though when you have a question or a problem and send an email to the site moderator how come you never get a reply or is it just me.

We love it. The fans love it. We caught up with several NFL players to get insight on who their favorite celebration dancers presently in the NFL. Click through the list above and prepare for some interesting answers. You may be surprised. Question: Who has the best celebration dance in the game?

"Victor Cruz"
DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys
"Dez Bryant"
Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
"This is a tough one. I like guys that mix it up and come with something different every time."
Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs
"If I don't count myself....I would have to say Von Miller. He's always coming up with new and unique dances when he gets to the quarterback."

"My teammate Victor Cruz"
Darren McFadden, Oakland Raiders

As every weather watcher knows, rain falls unevenly across the state. That's why meteorologists use phrases like, "scattered showers" and "50 percent chance of rain." Unfortunately, Maryland's infamous "rain tax" falls just as randomly upon Maryland's beleaguered taxpayers.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decided to improve the Chesapeake Bay's water quality by putting all the Bay's watershed states on a "pollution diet." Now each state must reduce its stormwater runoff (containing oil, dirt, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.) by building very expensive runoff control devices. Maryland's cost is $14.8 billion.
Each of the watershed states is free to find its own way to pay its tab. Maryland decided to go with a "rain tax," an annual tax levied on the amount of "impervious surface" you own. Impervious surfaces (driveways, parking lots, rooftops) "cause" pollution runoff by blocking rain from soaking into the earth.
Up to this point Maryland's rain tax, although onerous, was at least uniform (i.e., everyone paying the same tax rate on the amount of impervious surfaces they own).
Then things got screwy. First, state lawmakers limited the rain tax to only 10 of Maryland's 24 local jurisdictions (Baltimore city and Anne Arundel, Howard, Carroll, Harford, Charles, Montgomery, P.G., Frederick and Baltimore counties).
So, a shopping mall in Charles County must pay a huge yearly rain tax while a similar mall next door in Calvert County does not. Shouldn't we all be saving the Bay together?
State lawmakers further decided that, within the 10 rain tax counties, certain properties should be exempt, namely those owned by the state and local governments (and volunteer fire departments). That's right, they included churches and nonprofits but excluded themselves.
So, while most of us are paying an annual rain tax on our humble abodes, the 54-room governor's mansion will be rain tax-free. What happened to "One Maryland"?
But the final unfairness is letting all 10 rain tax counties devise their own separate rain tax laws. The result is a hodgepodge of different tax rates, different exemptions, different credits, different phase-ins and so on.
Beginning July 1, Maryland will have 10 different rain taxes and the amount you pay will depend, entirely, on your ZIP code. In other words, Maryland's rain tax will fall just as randomly as the rain itself.
For starters, the 10 rain tax counties don't even agree on a common name for the tax. They do agree that impervious surfaces should be measured by a standard unit, an "equivalent residential unit" or ERU. But then they all adopted different size ERUs. Anne Arundel's ERU is 2,800 square feet of impervious surface, Harford's is 500 square feet. A standard unit cannot have 10 different definitions.
Not only are there 10 different ERUs for measuring a standard unit of impervious surface, there are also 10 different tax rates per ERU. Howard's rain tax is $15 per ERU, Montgomery's is $88.40 per ERU.
But wait, it gets worse. Based on local politics, each county is treating different types of property differently. Most counties are taxing condos and townhouses less than detached homes. Likewise, commercial property is getting hit harder than residential, but in very different ways county-by-county.
In Baltimore County, for instance, the rain tax on commercial property is $69 per ERU but only $39 to $21 on various types of residences. In Baltimore city, the mayor's plan taxes residences at $48 to $144 per year, but commercial owners are taxed at $2,987 per acre, the highest in the state. As a result, commercial properties, 11.6 percent of the city's total area, will pay 67 percent of the city's rain tax.
As we speak, the city council is revising the mayor's plan with some bizarre results. For instance, some businesses whose stormwater runoff goes directly into the Bay say they should get a rain tax break because they aren't using the city's storm drain system. Huh? Runoff is runoff no matter how it gets into the Bay.
The rain tax on nonprofits (churches, schools, hospitals) also varies between jurisdictions. In Anne Arundel, it's a flat $1 per year, in Montgomery it's capped at $2,033 per year while in Howard and Baltimore the nonprofits are treated the same as businesses. Some Baltimore city lawmakers want to give nonprofits a break but several city council members view the nonprofits as freeloaders because they don't pay city property taxes.
Completing the chaos are the rain tax counties' 10 different tax credits, caps and phase-ins. For instance, the rain tax is being phased-in over 10 years in Harford County, over three years in Anne Arundel County and over three years (for first-time rain tax payers, only) in Montgomery County.
Some local lawmakers are in rebellion. Anne Arundel's new county executive, Laura Neuman, vetoed the council's rain tax, leading to an improved revision.
And Frederick County's commissioners "complied" by passing only a one-penny rain tax, raising a total of only $487. Thumbing his nose at the environmental madness, Commissioners President Blaine Young said, "I'm just not willing to fall in like some little minion because the governor says you're going to."
It appears that plenty of state taxpayers agree with Young. State and local lawmakers made a complete mess of the rain tax which was a bad idea to begin with.
The General Assembly has one last chance to repeal the rain tax before next year's elections, it ought to take it.

If you are an older adult and live alone, you may not be giving your meals and nutrition enough thought. This can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, weight loss or gain, constipation, and energy loss.
You can avoid nutritional problems by selecting the right foods, making mealtimes more enjoyable, and adjusting your cooking habits, says the National Institute on Aging.
Don't skip breakfast. Missing the most important meal of the day can make it less likely you'll get all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you need. To make it easier to start your day right, have things on hand that don't require cooking or a lot of fuss. Examples include high-fiber cereal with bran, fresh fruit, fruit juices, and bagels. (To keep bagels and bread from spoiling, store them in the freezer in individual servings. You can store cereal in the freezer, too.)
Eat nutritious midmorning and midafternoon snacks. Doing so provides extra energy and will boost your nutrient total. Try apple slices spread with peanut butter or cottage cheese with fresh fruit slices.
Healthy frozen dinners are fine, just not every day. For balanced nutrition, eat a small green salad with these meals.
If you use a cookbook, cut recipes in half. Serve yourself enough for one meal, then freeze the rest in serving size portions you can microwave.
Pay attention to serving sizes. To maintain a healthy weight as you age, you'll need to consume fewer calories.
Make every calorie count toward good nutrition. To do so, eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. (You can keep a variety of frozen fruits and vegetables on hand, if fresh fruits and vegetables are liable to spoil before you can eat them.) Avoid high-fat or deep-fried foods. Eat lean protein such as chicken, fish, and lean meats.
Take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement. Many older people are deficient in vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin D. The best way to consume nutrients is through food, but you may need more vitamin D, calcium, and folic acid than your diet can provide. Ask your health care provider about supplements if you think they may interfere with medications you may be taking.
Eat more fiber. Fiber can help prevent constipation. To consume more of it, eat more fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
Keep meals interesting and appealing. As people age, smell and taste begin to diminish. Add more spices, herbs, and lemon juice to foods to enhance the flavor.
If you have difficulty getting out to the store for groceries, consider signing up for Meals-on-Wheels or similar program. Most communities have such programs.

The Ridgway Elkers wrestling team handed the St. Marys Area Flying Dutch squad a 40-24 setback last night at the SMAHS Dutch Oven.
Ridgway opened a 17-0 lead, only to see the Dutch battle back to close to within 25-24. However, Ridgway won the last three matches to win the match 40-24.
"We took a couple of steps forward again tonight," said St. Marys coach Dominic Surra. "Ridgway has been a quality team for some time, and this is just part of the growing process.
"All the kids gave good fights tonight. Their (Ridgway) experience paid off in some matches.
"We put ourselves in a position to win and it didn't happen. We need to get better."
Ridgway took the early lead when Steve Mitchell recorded a 4-2 decision in overtime over Allan Gursky at 145 pounds. Jake Himes of the Elkers made the team score 7-0 when he recorded a 12-1 major decision over Josh Cameroni at 152 pounds. Ridgway increased their lead to 11-0 when D.J. Skraba recorded a 12-0 major decision over Michael Brennen. Seth Stahl made the score 17-0 when he pinned Kyle Wolfel at the 3:28 mark of their 171-pound match.
The Dutchmen got on the board when Joe McLaughlin pinned Cortland Smith at the 3:19 mark of their 189-pound match. Jimmy Antonelli pinned Chad Quail at the 2:39 mark of their 215-pound match, cutting Ridgway's lead to 17-12. At 285 pounds, Ridgway's Jesse Sheasley recorded a 4-2 decision over Kevin Hoy, giving Ridgway the 20-12 lead.
Dutchman Damien Wensel decisioned Cody Stahl 12-9 at 103 pounds, making the score 20-15. The Dutchmen took their only lead of the night when Trenton Bowers pinned Ricky J. Javier at the 1:59 mark of their 112-pound match. At 119 pounds, Ridgway's Corey Bush recorded a 15-0 technical fall over Evan Smith at the 4:34 mark of their match.
Dutchman Alex Coudriet cut the Ridgway lead to 25-24 when he recorded a 7-4 decision over Trevor Delhunty at 125 pounds. Dakota Dahler of the Elkers pinned Bill Gabor at the 3:25 mark of their 130-pound match, 31-24.
At 135 pounds, Slade Horner pinned Tyler Yetzer at the 1:28 mark of their match, 37-24. In the final match of the night, Kyle Caggiano of the Elkers recorded a 4-2 decision over Sam Miller, making the final score 40-24 in favor of the Elkers.
"St. Marys is a good-looking young team. Coach Surra is doing a good job," said Ridgway coach Gary Gerber.
"Our kids, after stumbling over DuBois, were more motivated tonight. The kids did what they had to do in tough situations," added Gerber.
St. Marys, now 3-4 on the year, returns to action next Tuesday when they play host to the DuBois Area Beavers.
Ridgway 40, St. Marys 24

Oldie but goodie
By Old man
from Houston TX
I bought one of these back in '07 and was surprised to see it still available. The only reason I was looking to replace it was the age and wear on my old helmet. Living in Texas where heat is a nearly a year-round concern, I really like the ventilation and solid design. I've had lower speed mountain bike crashes and have always been protected. You can pay more for a helmet, but this is in the sweet spot of having great ventilation and solid design, not be a "one size fits all" but still be in a value price range. Cheaper helmets I've seen are not well ventilated and generally fit less well. I also bought one for my thrill seeking daughter.
Good fit, Good looking, Fast Delivery

About Me Casual/ Recreational
The helmet is called a mountain bike helmet, but I use it on my road bike because of the visor which helps with the sun. Fits exactly as spec'd. Looks great. Has plenty of vents to keep my head cool. I attached a mirror to the visor with thin steel wire. Great view of what's behind me.
Nice helmet
By Salty

Great looking helmet,hope it holds upas. Long as my old Trek helmet did
Great value
By Malone's mom
from Saint Paul, MN
This helmet is a big improvement over my previous model. The ability to customize the fit gives me more confidence that in an accident or fall I'll be protected.

i have about a 7.25 head. bought the large but was too big and quite bulky. it was huge on my head. kept it for winter riding with a liner under it. then got the medium which fits well when adjusted all the way out and is not as bulky.
Becoming a new friend
By Can't ski, time to bike
from Wisconsin
I recently had to replace some recalled helmets that I really liked. I bought a couple Bell models knowing that Bells used to fit my head shape. I found the Delirium to be a nice helmet for the price. The length to width fits my long oval head shape well and still has room to fit over a cap on cold days. The visor comes in handy on morning and evening road rides to block the low angled sun.
Decent helmet, decent price
By Ben
from Bedford
Replacing an elderly Bell helmet that has worked well for me. This seems similar and was a good price with discounts. I have fortunately never tested the crashworthiness of a helmet.
good feel,good fit

Lots of mountain biking. Frequent spills. On my 5th helmet. Still my favorite. They have cracked, but no concussions so they seem to be pergorming super. Just bought my son one.

Recipe by Chef John
"All you need is a couple cans of beans, an onion, some bacon, and spices to whip up this simple but delicious soup."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

6 slices
bacon, chopped
1 large
onion, diced
3 cloves
garlic, minced
2 cups
chicken broth
pinch of dried oregano
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
salt to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans
black beans, rinsed and drained
14 1/2 fluid ounces
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/3 cup
minced green onion
2 teaspoons
sambal paste (or minced red chiles)
juice of 1 lime
chopped green onion
sour cream
This was quite good. I left out the bacon to cut calories and replaced the can of water with more chicken broth to up the flavor. Came out delicious. Do make the garnish and use either sour cream or yogurt to top it off. Black beans are so healthy so any way to incorporate them into your diet is a winner - if it's tasty too than all the better!

I am really surprised that no one has mentioned the use of an immersion blender for this recipe. If you don't have one of these handy "stick" blenders, I strongly suggest you invest in one. It's much easier to use and clean than a regular blender for this type of application. You can control how thick you want the soup to be by the amount of time you blend the soup, and you do it right in the same pot! What could be easier than that?
subbed basil for oregano and simmered an hour to thicken and blend flavors. Cheated and used blender. Awesome flavor! Loved this - will make again for sure.
Best Black Bean soup I've ever had! BONUS: I made it! :) I used low sodium beans, but followed the recipe exactly and the result was perfection! I didn't even make the relish, but I did use sour cream. It was a big hit with the hubby too.
Really good! I have a always relied on a wonderful recipe from a Seattle restaurant (Cafe Sport -- now gone), but it took a better part of a day to make. This is just as flavorful and easy to make for a weeknight dinner.
I made the recipe as written and added a large diced carrot for color. I used an emersion blender and cooked it down to a thicker consistency, so it made about 2 large bowls worth.
Thanks for the recipe.
Just tried this recipe. Is it just me, or would this be EPIC with some grated cheddar on top? Just an idea. Also, I think the soup will taste good no matter what, but would probably look "prettier" if it was blended/pureed a bit if you're willing to take the extra time. All in all, a scrumptious hearty soup! Also, I think because of the bacon it doesn't need a lot of extra salt-- just be wary with that shaking hand!
This is so good, I'm not even done with it and I have to come give it a good review! Don't change anything about it, it is perfect. I didn't have red chili or sambal but I did have red curry paste which had red chili peppers in it. I used it for the relish and I can't imagine the dish without these flavors.

One issue that seems to persist in discussions in the DC Forum relating to aspects of cloud-storage is the safety/security of your data whilst it is in cloud-storage.
These discussions sometimes referred to Wuala, which has been discussed quite a bit on the DC forum, but seems to have been mainly "in passing".
I found some interesting links on this post: SkyDrive storage space land grab for grandfathers
One of them was in reference to Wuala.
So, today I followed the link in sciencetext and took a look at the Wuala site: Wuala - FREE 6Gb offer.
And I watched the simple Wuala - Promo Video
It's about a guy (John) who is concerned about his data security, after being bitten. (Maybe his data was on dotcom, or something, and he lost it all.)
Wuala looks like it is good tech and encrypted as well.
More choices!

I have downloaded gs904w64 for my Win 7 64 bit. I have added the C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.04\bin\gswin64c.exe system variable to GS_PROG. Still get the error when trying to open up an .EPS in GIMP 2.6.11
Any ideas much appreciated.
Change to C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.04\bin\gswin64.exe
That works for me on my win7 64bit.
Ghostscript doesn't work for me with gimp 2.7, no problem with the stable version
Could anyone of you try to check why this happens? A first step could be the Process Monitor Tool from Microsoft, this will tell which files are being opened. The Process Explorer tool (or the task manager in recent versions of Windows) can also be used to make sure that the GS_PROG environment variable is actually present in the environment of the plug-in process when trying to load a Postscript file.
If you use the GIMP Portable 2.7.3 64 bit (Partha) change the two files (gspawn-win32-helper.exe and gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe) in the bin folder to the 64bit versions.
that you have to make sure you add it to the system variable and not the user variable.
This works on some systems.So make sure of that before you go any further.It's easy to confuse one with the other. :)
Add GS_PROG as a SYSTEM Environment Variable with following text (your version may vary):
C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.05\bin\gswin32c.exe
Note the path should NOT be enclosed in quotation marks, unlike the format for Windows shortcuts et al.
Close all open GIMP processes after installing, then start a new GIMP. I am running GIMP v2.6.11.
GS_PROG was defined before installing Ghostscript, but I think the key was removing quotes from around the path.

INDOT Shifting U.S. 31
To Final Traffic Pattern
Beginning Friday Night
CARMEL, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will begin placing traffic on US 31 into a permanent configuration tonight. Walsh Construction, the state's contractor for the $35 million project, plans to shift northbound US 31 traffic to new northbound pavement between 9 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday.
In order to modify pavement markings where northbound Keystone Parkway merges with US 31, the northbound Keystone Parkway ramp to US 31 will need to be closed for approximately 3 hours late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
Work will also take place on the southbound side of US 31. Crews will remove temporary pavement markings and place permanent markings one lane at a time. Because both directions of traffic will no longer share the southbound side of the highway, pavement markings will be modified for one direction of traffic and the extra space will allow for a third lane of traffic.
The work to change the traffic configuration will require alternating lane restrictions in both directions of US 31 between 136th and 151st Streets from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night through Tuesday, November 20. Crews will restrict lanes of US 31 Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in order to take advantage of warmer pavement temperatures, which will help the pavement markings dry faster.
INDOT and Walsh plan to place all traffic at the new interchange in its permanent configuration before Thanksgiving. The northbound US 31 exit to 146th Street will be opened as soon as the traffic signals at the top of the ramp are activated. Access from westbound 146th Street to the southbound US 31 ramp will also be opened. Some temporary lane restrictions on US 31 and 146th Street may be necessary after the holiday weekend to allow contractors to finish various tasks.
The interchange upgrade creates a more efficient ramp system connecting US 31, Keystone Parkway and 146th Street. Six new bridges and more than a mile of six-lane highway have been constructed while maintaining traffic on US 31 and limiting ramp closures to the shortest possible times by using financial incentives to expedite construction.
The new US 31 Hamilton County is part of a Major Moves program to upgrade or bypass congested sections of US 31 between Indianapolis and South Bend. Upgrading the existing highway between I-465 and State Road 38 to interstate standards will be the largest and most aggressive road project ever implemented in Hamilton County. The US 31 Hamilton County project is intended to reduce congestion, improve safety and provide continuity of commerce and regional travel for a US highway that stretches from Michigan to Alabama.

ReadyLIFT® 69-3416 4" SST Lift Kit for the NEW 2014-UP GM 1500 4WD & Z71 Trucks with Steel Front Upper Control Arm Suspension
At ReadyLIFT® we take our product engineering very seriously. When General Motors first released the newly designed 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 4WD & Z71 trucks we purchased one of the very first truck trucks off the line so that we could test fit and engineer the proper 4" SST Lift Kit. The 2014 4WD & Z71 suspension has many completely new design features. Some of these changes include evolution to an electric steering rack, completely different differential mounting system and an aluminum control arm design and different spindle than its predecessor.
The new ReadyLIFT 69-3416 4" SST Lift Kit combines many of the great features of our time-tested and very popular 4" SST Lift Kit for the 2007-2013 trucks with new innovative features. Some of the new features implemented into this system include a completely different differential drop mounting system which now utilizes machined billet circular spacers which allows for just the right amount of differential drop without interfering with the new rear mounted electric steering rack. Additionally, a newly designed skid plate accompanies our differential drop system.
Factory changes to the spindle/upright allows us to now include the super strong heavy duty ball joints we developed for the GM 2500 HD trucks but designed exclusively for the STEEL suspension on 2014 GM 1500 trucks. These ball joints are vastly superior and are already installed into the tubular steel upper control arms provided in the 69-3416 kit. But that's not all! This kit also includes newly designed UCA inner bushings and new washer backing spacer sleeves which greatly prolong the life of the bushings.
Our engineering testing has shown this new 69-3416 4" SST Lift Kit is extremely versatile and strong and like our previous SST Lift Kit, allows the customer to install up to a 33x11.50 tire (max) on 5.25" backspacing wheels. NOTE: The ReadyLIFT 69-3416 SST Lift Kit is designed for use with Aftermarket Wheels with a backspacing of 5.25". If you intend to run the stock wheels with an aftermarket larger tire, a wheel spacer is required to prevent the tire from touching the control arm at full locked turn. ReadyLift has developed a CNC-machined billet aluminum wheel spacer 10-3485 for use with factory wheels which have the stud pockets cast into the wheel next to the lug holes on the back side of the wheel.
To run the OE/Factory wheels AND tires, you will need to use the "ReadyLIFT 1/2" Billet Wheel Spacers for use with OE/Factory wheels and tires".The 69-3416 kit is for use on trucks with the factory steel upper and lower control arms. Not for use on trucks with aluminum upper control arms or Z-71 OFF ROAD trucks. If your truck has aluminum upper and lower control arms, you will want the 69-3414 kit.
Features & Benefits:
• Designed Exclusively for the 2014-UP GM 1500 4WD & Z71 Trucks with Steel front suspenion.
• Includes New Evolution Bushings and Backing Spacers

Any guys located in London, UK would like to meet to maybe build some project/s as a hobby or commercially?
Let me introduce myself:
I have something like a college degree (I think that probably is the most similar equivalent in the UK) on Telecoms, but I've been in workshops using manual and power tools for wood and metal since very young doing mainly hobby projects.
I moved to London about 7 years ago, I couldn't avoid having a workshop with lots and lots of tools, equipment and books for electronics, electricity and light metalworking, looking to incorporate a small lathe, milling machine, etc. (Ebay it's an addiction).
It is really impossible for just one person to run a business like I pretend, which includes learning new things very often, doing the numbers, the work itself, etc plus it is quite hard to be on my own all the time, so it will be great if I can meet some other enthusiasts. To be honest I quite dislike to work together with guys who don't really enjoy what they do. I am not sure if I will find such a person/s so I also consider getting a job somewhere and having my workshop just for hobby and/or doing some private projects. Of course I will love to visit any workshops in London or around! I know it may sound quite strange this post, it's just that I though trying this way may be a shortcut as I already been almost 7 years without finding much.
I don't want to make this post much longer so any questions please just ask.
