Washington has one of highest sales

Consumers in Washington state pay the fourth highest sales taxes in the country, according to a new data from the Tax Foundation.

The report on combined state and local sales taxes put Washington average rate at 8.87 percent a 6.5 percent state tax plus an average 2.37 percent local tax rate.

Washington combined average rate placed behind only Tennessee (9.44 percent), Arkansas (9.18 percent) and Louisiana (8.89 percent), according to the nonpartisan national think tank.

The outcome is no surprise, given that Washington is one of nine states without an individual income tax (Tennessee is another). But local Republicans still seized on the study as evidence that the sales tax should be lowered.

should continue to find opportunities to provide relief and create some incentives to our businesses to promote good economic growth and jobs, said state Rep. Gary Alexander, R Olympia, the ranking Republican on the state House Budget Committee. push to increase that sales tax would just do more to discourage economic growth in our state. state Rep. Reuven Carlyle disagreed,

Volkswagen Golf 2,
titleist 915 d3

Believe it or not,
titleist 915 d2, you can join the money saving club with a Volkswagen Golf. As well as having a desirable badge and one of the classiest interiors around, the compact family car puts paid to its rivals in our pence per mile play off.A diesel engine is a good start. And to chip some decent money off your monthly bills, you’ll need the 2.0 litre SDI oil burner. That’s because the 12,280 car costs only 31.4 pence per mile to run. Fuel consumption is one mile per gallon worse than in the smaller, more hi tech MINI One as well. So what’s the catch?The answer is apparent as soon as you get behind the wheel of the VW. Its normally aspirated diesel powerplant can really struggle on the open road. With a power output of only 73bhp and 140Nm of torque at its disposal, performance is at best relaxed.But while the 0 62mph sprint takes a leisurely 16.7 seconds exactly the same amount of time as the 1.0 litre Smart ForTwo you can revel in fuel economy of 52.3mpg, The 350 litre boot extends to 1,305 litres if you fold the rear seats, so luggage space is generous, too.To minimise outgoings, you’ll also have to buy the cheaper three door S model. It has just as much room as the five door inside, but it’s the less versatile option of the two bodystyles.And that’s not all, because VW has made other sacrifices to earn a good score in the pence per mile challenge. Open the door and you’ll find the same high quality cabin that features across the Golf line up. but look at the spec sheet and you’ll see lots of gaps.While the soft touch plastics, solid build and neat design all meet with approval, there’s no getting round the shortage of standard equipment. It does better than the entry Smart by providing air con, six airbags and remote central locking as standard in entry level S trim. If you want electric rear windows,
titleist vokey sm5, alloys or cruise control,
titleist vokey sm5, though, they’re all options. You also get a horrible plastic steering wheel to remind you every time you sit in the driver’s seat that you own the basic model.The lacklustre performance can be overcome quite simply. Our advice would be to pitch in a few extra pence to get the more punchy 103bhp 1.9 litre TDI variant we’ve used in our pictures.Running costs for this car start from just 36.8ppm (still bettering the majority of its rivals), and its turbodiesel engine is much punchier. It has more mid range torque for overtaking and merging with fast moving traffic both unnerving experiences in the slower SDI. The TDI is 5.4 seconds quicker from 0 62mph, too. It even provides superior economy of 56.5mpg combined,
titleist 915 d2, as well as lower CO2 emissions, at 132g/km.The 73bhp SDI gives the Golf victory in this part of our challenge, as it has the class’s lowest ppm figure. But the greater performance of the TDI makes it worth each one of the extra 5.4ppm it costs.

MK Dons vs Manchester United League Cup match report

It was a defeat for which Louis van Gaal must carry some degree of personal responsibility. When Liverpool played Notts County at the same stage of the League Cup last season they played a first team,
ugg canada, knowing the potentially cavernous, empty weeks ahead. Van Gaal dispensed with game changing players and instead watched a youthful defence submit itself to carnage erring again and again to deliver United, Champions League finalists a mere three years ago, to a new and desperate low. Van Gaal defended himself against criticism citing nine injuries and Sunday’s recent Premier League duties but the argument wore thin. United have so many free weeks this season that the League Cup was something to be embraced.

The defeat requires a little perspective. It was a group of predominantly young players who capitulated; the hammering of an elite group would have been worse. But in the carefully argued, garrulous case van Gaal made as to why his team’s defeat was "no shock" we heard a man who seemed as out of touch with fans’ expectations of United as David Moyes often was. The plain,
Michael Kors canada, uncomplicated fact was that United were pummelled and overwhelmed in every department by a side who did not even allow his own a shot on goal until the game’s 72nd minute.

Just one of the game changers on the bench would have offered something. Even Cristiano Ronaldo once sat on a bench at Exeter City. The deployment of Wilfried Zaha, an unused substitute,
http://www.voyagix.fr/, might have delivered a step change. His night of bench warming was a mystery.

The hurried press conference was curtailed before there was a chance to explore the defensive errors which characterised the game and to ask van Gaal whether he is shocked by the defensive incompetence he has inherited. His 3 4 1 2 system carries risks which require resolute defenders to enforce it. Even the defender he feels best equipped to cope Jonny Evans had a horrible night. If van Gaal can’t bring in a defensive reinforcement, it would seem prudent to revert to a four man unit.

The night revealed the fear which has been eating away at the fabric of the club for over a year, though perhaps that was not so surprising. A starting XI containing Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck, Anderson and Shinji Kagawa who all seem so transparently to be on their way out of Old Trafford if suitors can be found in the next five days is not conducive to expressive, confident football.

They actually began quite brightly, speculative shots from Hernandez and Nick Powell reflecting some kind of intent, but then disappeared, cleaved by defensive errors. The MK Dons central midfield combination of Dele Alli the locally born England under 18 international, who was being watched by Bayern Munich here and Darren Potter assumed a control that United could not wrest from them. Shinji Kagawa’s departure with a head injury after a clattering challenge from Alli was significant only in the opportunity it created to send in Adnan Januzaj briefly a source of invention.

The goal which took the League One side ahead was a metaphor for the forlorn sight that United have become. Evans was attempting to play the ball across and out of his own penalty area in the new United way when, under no real pressure, he allowed the lurking Ben Reeves to stick out a foot an intercept it. He quickly found Will Grigg here on a season long loan from Brentford who did not waste a moment which will always live with him.

Evans was lucky to have avoided a penalty appeal for handball a strong Dean Bowditch shot inside the area struck his left arm before a second goal which was equally pitiful. A ball conceded weakly on the right flank by Will Keane, allowing Danny Powell and Dean Lewington to work the ball rapidly from their own half and release Reeves down the right to dispatch a cross which Grigg chested in. It said everything about the chaos in United’s defence that Anderson was nearest to Grigg when he finished.

The humiliation was complete when Reece James conceded possession and allowed George Baldock and Reeves to work the ball through the right channel for Benik Afobe to score again. Mamik Vermijl was the humiliated defender when the fourth went in allowing a speculative long ball to strike him on the back and then finding Afobe bulldozing past him and a helpless Evans

Mel B in hospital and set to miss final with mystery illness,
http://www.axis-froid.fr/

SICK Mel B was being treated in hospital last night for a mystery illness just hours before this weekend’s X Factor final,
http://www.blog-deserts.fr/.

The Spice Girl, 39, is "seriously ill" and being kept in overnight for further tests after spending the day being treated on a private ward.

Insiders said there was a "90 per cent chance" she would not be on tomorrow’s X Factor as contestants Andrea Faustini, Fleur East and Ben Haenow head into the final weekend.

A source close to Mel confirmed: "She is in hospital and is seriously ill.

"We are awaiting the result of tests and then we will know exactly what is wrong.

"If I had to predict it, having seen her, I don’t think she will be able to do the show.

"Miracles do happen and the doctors may say she is well enough to leave but, looking at her, I would be amazed if that happens."

X Factor bosses were last night considering bringing a guest judge in to replace her,
http://www.restaurant-surlaplace.fr/.

A source said: "If she does make it to Wembley this weekend she won’t know what to do as she missed rehearsals.

"On top of that Mel hasn’t spoken to her act Andrea since Tuesday. Mel was very supportive until then but her illness has affected him too."

Last night a spokesman for Mel said: "We’re not making any comment. It’s a private medical matter."

As Andrea, 20, struggled to prepare for the Wembley final without his mentor, he was heard saying: "I feel abandoned."

It is thought if Mel is unable to turn up tonight, judge Cheryl Fernandez Versini could support him.

The source added: "Cheryl will be there for Andrea if she needs to be. She also won’t want the final to flop and wants to make Simon Cowell happy."

The drama is a fresh blow for The X Factor, which has lagged behind BBC rival Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings.

There had been high hopes for the ITV series, with the return of Simon and Cheryl to the panel alongside Mel and Louis Walsh.

All of Cheryl and Louis’s acts have already been eliminated, with Simon Cowell mentoring Andrea’s fellow finalists Ben and Fleur.

On tomorrow night’s show each contestant will sing three songs: a song of their choice,
http://www.estheti-chien.fr/, their "best performance" on the show, plus the single they’ll release if they win.

Poll loading end of widget id: 2889564, name: poll, view: simplePoll >

Fleur will sing her winner’s single, Something I Need by One Republic, Can’t Hold Us by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and her much praised performance of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk.

Andrea will sing his impressive rendition of Feeling Good by Nina Simone, his winner’s track of I Didn’t Know My Own Strength, by Whitney Houston,
http://www.ntbarraschool.com.au/, and Michael Jackson’s Earth Song.

And Ben will perform Demons by Imagine Dragons, Michael Jackson’s Man In The Mirror. He has chosen the same winner’s song as Fleur Something I Need by One Republic.

All three will sing Rule The World as a group with Take That.

It will be their final chance to impress the audience. But the trio can’t get too competitive as they’ll have to be in sync with each other on stage and with the Take That trio.
