Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kenwood Excelon XR-1S by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. You can add a dose of potent power to your system, thanks to the special design of the Kenwood Excelon XR-1S amplifier. Its dual power supplies and efficient Class D design let this amp deliver massive amounts of power to your subwoofer from a compact chassis that'll fit in more places than traditional amps can. The built-in low-pass filter lets you tailor the amp's output so you can dial in just the right bass for your vehicle, while optimizing the subwoofer's performance. A built-in infrasonic filter keeps your sub from wasting energy trying to play frequencies that you can't hear. Kenwood's Dual Sigma Drive extends the amp's control over cone movement for tighter, punchier bass. And the onboard fan and dual vents help keep this amp cool as it pumps out impressive power. If you're looking to build a larger system, preamp outputs give you the chance to add more amps without having to run another set of cables to the back of your stereo. For easy control, the optional wired remote allows you to adjust the bass boost from the front seat.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features CEA 2006 Compliant: The XR-1S's power ratings are measured according to the strict standards dictated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. The amplifier features the following power specifications: 4-Ohm RMS Power Rating: 600 watts x 1-channel into 4-ohms, measured from20-200Hz, with no more than 1% THD+noise 2-Ohm RMS Power Rating: 700 watts x 1-channel into 2-ohm at 100Hz with 1% THD Max Power Output: 1500 watts x 1-channel Peak Mono-Power Amp Design: The Kenwood XR-1S is designed with specific features to power your subwoofers with a frequency range between 20-200 Hz. This amplifier is not designed to power a full-range speaker. Class D Amplifier: For subwoofer applications, Class D amps are very efficient and their small size offers installation flexibility. Before amplifying an incoming signal, a Class D amp converts the signal to digital. Digital signals can be amplified very efficiently, so you get a lot more power with less current. Less input current reduces power supply size and generates less waste heat, thus reducing the heat sink size. The amp then converts the amplified signal back to analog. Dual Sigma Drive: This advanced negative feed back circuit improves damping factor and increases accuracy and sound quality. When a signal is passed to a subwoofer, like a 50Hz note, the speaker will move and create the note. However, because the speaker has mass and a suspension, it will not stop moving instantly once it's in motion. This extra movement (sound) creates a type of distortion that is not part of the original signal. The negative feedback circuit senses this unwanted movement and send out an opposite pulse to stop the speaker like an electronic brake. Dual Power Supply: This design provides one power supply for positive current and one power supply for negative current. The result is a cleaner voltage source, fewer failures due to short circuit, less power loss due to variances in transformer tolerances, and less transformer noise even when the positive and negative loads are unstable. Cooling Fan: There is a cooling fan and vents on each side of the amplifier to help dissipate heat and ensure cool, reliable operation. Make sure not to block these vents or the fan when you install the amplifier. Protection circuitry: The XR-1S features protection circuits that will turn the amp off in case of the following events: Speaker wire short-circuits Speaker output contacts ground Amp overheats Unit malfunctions and DC is sent to speaker output Controls Gain Control: The XR-1S features a gain control with input sensitivity adjustable from 0.2 volts to 5.0 volts. Low Pass Filter (LPF): The built-in, continuously variable LPF (50-200Hz) allows you to adjust the frequency range of the amp. The filter slope is 24 dB/octave. Infrasonic Filter (ISF): The infrasonic filter eliminates inaudible ultra low frequencies that can cause unwanted distortion in the audible range. The filter can be adjusted between 15Hz to 40Hz to match the subwoofer and enclosure being used. The filter slope is 24 dB/octave. Optional Wired Remote: An optional wired remote (item number 113KCAWR10, sold separately) allows bass boost level (0-18dB) and frequency adjustments (40-100 Hz) adjustments from the driver's seat. Multiple XR-1S amps can be controlled using one wired remote. Line Out Filter: The Line Out Filter switch changes the audio signal output to the Line Out terminals on the amplifier: Off: the line output signal doesn't pass through the XR-1S crossover, gain control, or optional bass boost circuitry On: the line output signal is adjusted using the XR-1S crossover, gain control, and optional bass boost circuitry Connections Power And Ground Terminals: The amplifier features Allen head set-screw Power and Ground terminals that will accommodate up to 4 gauge wire. 6 gauge minimum is recommended. Remote Turn-On Terminal: The remote turn-on is an Allen head set-screw terminal that will accommodate up to 8 gauge wire. Speaker Terminals: The amplifier is equipped with two pair of gold-plated speaker terminals for easy parallel subwoofer connection. The speaker terminals are Allen head set-screw terminals that will accommodate up to 8 gauge wire. 12 gauge minimum is recommended. RCA Inputs: The amplifier features one pair of gold-plated RCA input connections. RCA Outputs: The amplifier has a set of line level outputs for feeding a stereo audio signal to another amplifier. The line output can be effected by the gain control and crossover using the Line Out Filter switch. Fuse: The amplifier contains two 30-amp fuses.

I'm using it with a 12" FUBAR (4 ohms wired down to 2 ohms, rated for 800w RMS 1800w peak) in a sealed box, and it bangs pretty hard. I feel like the sub will fail before the amp does. I plan on getting a little better sub and box for this, the sub doesn't handle the higher bass notes as well as I'd like. The bass could be a little louder, but if you know how to tune and EQ your stuff right this amp will sure do the trick. You hit the right note and the review mirror just looks straight to the floor. I'm happy with the little guy is all I'm saying, and if you can find a good deal on this amp it is absolutely worth it. Pros: Small size, big power. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Best Upgrade I've Made! Written By Dana C., Ocala, Fl on Monday, May 13, 2013 I purchased this and wired it to a sealed 12" EarthQuake Magma DVC. Each coil is worth 3.2 ohms so in parallel the amp is sees 1.6ohms. I did not realize how much power I was missing. I had a 520 (peak) amp previously wired and thought that was ok. It runs very cool and though I'm running a .5 farad cap it doesn't dim the lights as much as I thought it would. A lot of my friends still can't believe that it produces a peak of 1500 watts with it's small size. I will definitely say the "feedback circuit" works wonders. With the previous amp the sub would sometimes bottom out on a specific song note and caused concern because the new amp had so much more power but with this one it hits a lot harder but still doesn't bottom out regardless of the song. Definitely worth the money. Pros: Strong and Clean, Negative feedback circuit, Infrasonic filter for cleaner lows Cons: No onboard bass boost but it's not needed in my situation 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitely has the WOW factor Written By kronbts, Southern CA on Friday, February 17, 2012 I bought this amp because i have tried the xr-5s and that was a great amp. I have the xr-1s hooked up to 3 12" efx pro comp subs in a vented box. wired at 4ohms they are getting 200w rms each. the head unit is also a kenwood excelon x994. the sound is top notch. bass is so loud it hurts your ears and presses on your chest. WOW. Dont know why other people are not liking this amp, but maybe if they wanted more bass they should have gotten more or better subs. a nice amp and cheap or only one sub isnt going to wow anybody. fyi i have owned many amps. fosgate bd-2500, jl slash, etc and this setup has been the loudest. Pros: small, amazing sound and power. WOW factor for sure. very reliable, high quality Cons: cant think of any 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

HUGE Disappointment Written By Dennis H, Toms River, NJ on Friday, January 14, 2011 I really became a huge fan & believer of Kenwood after installing a KDC-X494 head unit. So I went & bought this amp to power my Kicker 12" L5. It sounded & felt like my L5 was half asleep. It has a nice chassis... but nothing else. Needless to say... I went and installed a JL Slash 500/1. If you can spend more money... do it. 2 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good things do come in small packages Written By Chris, Montclair, NJ on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 I really like this amp. It is beautifully designed. Very high quality. it compares very favorably to the PDX amps by Alpine and the compact Class D amps by Kicker, JL Audio and Pioneer. Only it's smaller and has a fan. It made my inexpensive subwoofer sound like one that cost so much more, with proper tuning. Only detraction, for an amp at this price, the remote should be included. I already own the XR-4S so it was a no brainer to get this model too. This way I can stack them. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Small in size but no Wow Factor (I agree) Written By thomas, Seattle Wa on Monday, July 05, 2010 I agree with the previous review. I had to replace a failing 400 watt amp that out performed this amp by far. Also it uses a 24db crossover (the previous amp gave me a choice between 12db and 24db) it has 200 watts more power than my previous amp, cost $100 more, with weaker performance. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Small in size but no Wow Factor Written By Todd, Redmond, WA on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 In my 2001 Audi S4 I'm running an Alpine CDA-9885 deck with a single 12 inch Alpine Type R (SWR-1242D) subwoofer wire to run at 2ohms in a seal 1.2 cubic foot box. I am running at 2ohms so I would think the extra 100 watt rms difference vs my old amp would make a difference but not so. The negative feed back circuit which is supposed to improve sound quality is not working or I can't tell the difference. The sound quality is good, but no wow factor. I do like the small design. so I'll give credit there. I do not like how the knobs to adjust frequency and voltage is so small you need a tiny screw driver to make adjustments. It's just annoy when I want to make a quick adjustment. The amp does stay pretty cool. It's warm to the touch but not burning hot. I haven't been on a long drive running it hard so can't say for sure how warm it gets. I used 1/2 inch thick washer to allow some air flow under the amp and between the box which might be helping. Either way it hasn't gone into protection mode. It does start clipping if I push it toward it's limits, which I thought was a grounding issue but I had the ground wire connect directly to the battery and the problem was still there. I don't run the subwoofer that hard so it's really not a major problem for me. My final thoughts is... at this price you likely can get a better amp at a better price. unless you need an amp small in size. At this point the size is the only thing its got going for it. 11 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

1869 - 1877
Arizona Timeline
1871 - Camp Beale's Springs, Mohave County is commissioned and serves as a temporary reservation for the Hualapai Indians.
1872 - General Crook mounts a concentrated effort to defeat the central Arizona Apache and Yavapai tribes.
1874 – Patent issued to Judge John T. Alsap by President Grant for the original Phoenix townsite, 320 acres costing $ 550 per acre, including expenses.
1876 - As of October, 2,000 mines had been located and recorded in Mohave County. Mineral Park had grown to a population of about 200.
1877 - Territorial capitol moves from Tucson back to Prescott. Silver discovered at Tombstone.
Ulysses S. Grant was born in
1822 in Point Pleasant, Ohio. At
age 17, he was appointed to West
Point and graduated in 1843. He
resigned from the Army in 1854,
after serving in the Mexican War.
When the Civil War broke out, he
sought a commission and was
made a Brigadier General.
Julia Dent Grant was born in
1826 and grew up on a plantation
near St. Louis. She met Ulysses
Grant at her home, where he was
welcomed by her family as a West
Point classmate of her brother.
They were married in 1848 and
had four children.
President Ulysses Grant's successes in the Civil War brought him national fame and at the war's end, he was made a full general. He was elected
President in 1868 and served two terms. During his administration, the Amnesty Bill restored civil rights to all persons in the South except the
Confederate leaders. In 1872, he defeated Democrat Horace Greeley, but graft scandals in 1873 created difficulties in his second term. After leaving
office, he toured Europe and worked on his " personal memoirs." He died in 1885.
Julia Grant rejoiced in her husband's fame as a victorious general. She felt her time in the White House was the " happiest period" of her life. During their
trip around the world after leaving the White House, they received many magnificent gifts. In a business failure in 1884, they lost everything, but Grant's
memoirs brought enough to enable her to live in comfort after his death. Julia died in 1902.

Sides tells commissioners he will not support downtown central office
By Nathan Hardin
SALISBURY — Chairman Jim Sides will not write a letter supporting the downtown central office, nor will he add a discussion of the project to the agenda "at anytime in the near future," according to an email Sides sent commissioners Wednesday.
Salisbury City Council sent a letter to the county requesting a letter of support for the downtown central office for the local school system following the council's meeting Tuesday night.
But Sides wasn't having it.
Sides, who has not returned repeated calls from the Post, told commissioners he plans to stand by the 3-2 vote held earlier this year rejecting the use of county tax dollars for the downtown central office.
"I will not be writing a letter of support or opposition for this project. I will not be calling a special meeting to vote in support or opposition of this project. I will not be adding a discussion of this project to our agenda at anytime in the near future," Sides wrote Wednesday.
Sides added he would be open to hearing thoughts from his fellow commissioners.
"Three commissioners, if they so choose, may override the decisions I have outlined above at any time," he wrote. "I certainly welcome your input and will comply with your wishes. However, I will continue to comply with what the majority of this board has decided in the past until that position changes."
Sides has long opposed the downtown central office site, but said earlier this year he would not vote to stop the project.
He clarified his position Wednesday, saying the project's end result is the city's doing.
"I wish the City of Salisbury well with their application to the Local Government Commission, if they desire to proceed. However, this is in no way an endorsement of this project, nor of their actions to credit the Board of County Commissioners and county staff with its failure," Sides wrote. "This is a stand alone project for the City of Salisbury. They are the lone stakeholder, and this project will succeed or fail on its own merits. The Board of County Commissioners is in no way involved."
The Local Government Commission must approve local governments' borrowing. Salisbury recently withdrew its application to the state agency, with city officials saying county officials had questioned its legality and that they feared it could end up in court if approved.
Sides said he has "never supported" the idea of Salisbury agreeing to fund the downtown central office project but added he has never contacted the Local Government Commission about the project.
"The City of Salisbury then inserted themselves as a stakeholder in this project by agreeing to fund and build the central office for the school system. I have never supported this idea in the past," he said. "Neither have I taken any public action, locally or with the Local Government Commission in Raleigh, to oppose this project, as is continually reported by the local media."
The Post has not reported that Sides was in contact with the Local Government Commission.

You do have to hand it to the Patriots. Because if there is going to be trend of heartlessly cutting the players your fans have grown attached to, well, the Patriots are going to be out in front of that. The most productive receiver in football wanted to come back for a reasonable salary? Gone. What, Tom Brady isn't happy either? The all-world quarterback who just restructured his contract, essentially returning armored trucks full of money to his team so it could sign guys like Welker, his football soul mate? Pffffttt.
You think the Ravens irked their fans and their quarterback by jettisoning receiver Anquan Boldin? The Patriots couldn't let that go uncontested. So Wes Welker, he of the five straight 100-catch seasons? On a flight to Denver. The Patriot Way indeed, writes Judy Battista in The Times, which comes as little surprise to anyone who has watched the team treat players like disposable napkins through the Bill Belichick era, writes Ron Borges in The Boston Herald.
Sure makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about how much N.F.L. teams value your fandom, doesn't it?
The caterwauling about this started immediately after Welker finished the "r" on his signature on his new Broncos contract, which immediately drowned out the glee in Denver as John Elway won his second straight off-season, Mark Kiszla writes in The Denver Post. No matter how used to this routine Patriots fans and players must be by now, this one will sting, Don Banks writes on SI.com, particularly because Welker will now be catching passes from Peyton Manning.

text: Billionaire Warren Buffett and many wealthy Americans pay a lower tax rate than middle-class families do. That's just not fair. Warren Buffett knows it and President Obama wants to fix it. The Buffett Rule would require everyone to pay their fair share—a key step to reduce the deficit and invest in what we need to grow and strengthen the economy. Mitt Romney opposes the Buffett Rule because he wants to protect tax loopholes and give millionaires like himself trillions of dollars in tax breaks paid for by either increasing the deficit or by cutting programs critical to the middle class and economic growth.

Taming the Wild Thyme: A Visit to a Za'atar Farm in Lebanon
Grower Tour
At the end of a bumpy, red dirt driveway in a small town in southern Lebanon, you'll find the home of farmer Abu Kassem and his family. For about 13 years, they have been growing za'atar, the once-wild herb that plays a starring role in the increasingly popular spice blend of the same name. The path from field to flatbread is simple on this organic farm, but one fueled by dedication and hard work. Take a peek at how they do it — and you may never look at that bottle of supermarket za'atar in the same way again.
Who: Abu Kassem of Za'atar Zawtar
What: Za'atar spice blend
Where: Zawtar, a small town in southern Lebanon
Before visiting Lebanon, I had a vague idea that za'atar was a blend of many spices — thyme? oregano? — but I learned the truth shortly after arriving on the farm. A good-quality Lebanese za'atar should contain only four ingredients: the dried za'atar herb, sumac, sesame seeds and salt. (But not too much sesame! Because sesame seeds are cheaper to produce than za'atar, a high ratio of the seeds can mean a lower-quality product.)
Za'atar is the Arabic name for the perennial herb Origanum syriacum, also called wild thyme, bible hyssop or Lebanese oregano. It was once gathered in the wild, but due to increasing demand, it is now cultivated. Abu Kassem grows his certified organic za'atar plants from seed in greenhouses and typically harvests in September or October; his farm produces about four tons of the herb every year.
Next to his house, Abu Kassem has a small but airy workshop filled with all the equipment he needs to blend, mix and distill his za'atar products. Everything is done with modest tools: wood sifters and bowls, plastic tubs, glass jars. He makes the spice blend by running the dried za'atar and sumac through a noisy grinder, followed by a mechanical sifter. Then he toasts sesame seeds in an iron pot over a portable gas burner, tossing the seeds in the air until they are crackling and fragrant. Into the mound of soft za'atar and sumac they go, stirred in and then scooped into plastic bags weighed on an electronic scale.
In his workshop, Abu Kassem also distills za'atar water, a powerfully astringent medicinal liquid used to treat everything from menstrual pain to impotence. I tried both the za'atar water and the even more potent oil. In the words of Ralph Wiggum, it tastes like burning! — but my lingering sore throat disappeared the day after I drank it. Coincidence? I don't know, but I brought home a bottle of the stuff just to be sure.
No visit to a za'atar farm would be complete without a taste of the slightly sour, herbaceous spice blend, so one of the highlights of the day was sitting down to a breakfast feast prepared by Abu Kassem's wife, Fatima. It included fresh rounds of manouche za'atar, a chewy flatbread covered with local olive oil and and a layer of za'atar. Women in Lebanon typically bring their own za'atar to the bakery in the morning, so the baker can bake the manouche with their personal herb blend.
Fatima also makes jars of pickled za'atar to sell, and had just spent about two weeks canning 700 jars of the brined leaves, which are the thinner, more tender shoots that emerge after the initial harvest. Packed in jars with a mixture of coarse salt, water and lemon, they are an unusual and tasty addition to a mezze spread.
After a couple hours spent sitting at a sunny outdoor table with Abu Kassem's family and munching on manouche za'atar, labne and cucumbers, gazing at the green fields of za'atar in the distance, it was difficult to leave. Now back at home, I need only open up the bag of za'atar I brought back with me to transport back to the red dirt fields and blue skies of Zawtar. It's not quite the same, but until I can get back to Lebanon, it will have to do.

Anjali, I LOVE this post! Thank you for giving us a view into life on the za'atar farm in Lebanon. I can't wait to try pickled za'atar now.... Here's a link to my recent post at Rose Water & Orange Blossoms on za'atar man'oushe (I do add extra sesame seeds, just love them!):
Where can we buy the distilled za'atar oil or water? It seems like such a wonderful product!
I've loved za'atar for years and new precious little about where it came from. Thank you.
Lovely post. I'm going to go out and pick up some za'atar this week!
Lovely post, and such warm photos. I have been a big fan of za'atar after purchasing during a trip to France many, many years ago. I use it often in side dishes, roasted meats and it is wonderful on hummus. Another spice that is often over looked is sumac.
Really enjoyed reading this! Love to hear about passionate, down-to-earth people from different countries and places. And that za'atar water/oil has me intrigued as well!
Oh, this is so neat! We use and love sumac, but I don't think I've had za'tar before. I'll look it up. I love stories with my food.
Again, wonderful post!
Yes, a revelation indeed. I didn't know the origin of za'atar. This post is fantastic. Love to see more like this. I am so interested in seeing how products are grown, processd and brought to market. Thanks for posting this. Where can we by the water and pickled products?
Thanks for all the kind comments! I am looking into the availability of za'atar water, oil and pickles outside of Lebanon.
If you can get your hands on some second-harvest za'atar leaves, I did get the proportions for the pickle: 120 grams fresh za'atar sprigs and a few lemon slices in 1 tablespoon salt dissolved in 400ml water.
Fascinating post. I'll be looking for the real deal this growing season so my za'atar will be authentic--though it is delicious with regular old thyme as well.
Okay, I've never heard of this before - aside from the flat bread, what else would it be used for?
Jonele, you can use it for all sorts of things! I really like using it as a rub for chicken, with some added lemon at the end. It's all also delicious with labneh (Arabic yogurt cheese), olive oil, and pita for breakfast.
G'day! I LOVE cooking and baking with za'atar TRUE!
Interesting HOW your sore throat went away like magic too!
Very interesting read, always enjoy learning something new...thank you!
Cheers! Joanne
What's On The List?
I adore za'atar, we buy a pkg of it from a Persian restaurant every time we visit Carmel. Having it with labne, olive oil & flatbread is our favourite way,too.
Beautiful post! Learnt so much about this spice blend. I didn't know the spice blend was named after the herb! Does one always have to bake za'atar on to bread or can it be sprinkled over food as well?
oh I am now salivating for some labne.
I was introduced to za'atar 10 years ago on a trip to Israel and also thought it meant a blend of spices. I haven't had it in some time but will look to buy some this weekend. Thanks for a lovely and informative post!
In Jordan it's often eaten by dipping a small piece of bread in olive oil, then into the zaatar flakes. Delicious!
Here in the USA we love it sprinkled on pizza! Or scrambled eggs. Or roasted potatoes.

1605: The arrest of Guy Fawkes, found guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder during a search of the Palace of Westminster in London, foils Robert Catesby's plot to destroy the House of Lords and all within it, including King James I of England. Most of Catesby's conspirators fled from London as they learned of the plot's discovery, trying to enlist support along the way. Catesby was shot and killed in a battle while fleeing and eight of the survivors, including Fawkes, would be tried and convicted on Jan. 27, 1606, and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.
1872: In defiance of the law, suffragist Susan B. Anthony votes for the first time, and is later fined $100. True to her word in court, where she declared, "I shall never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty," she never paid the fine for the rest of her life.
1872: U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant is easily elected to a second term in office, garnering 55.6 percent of the vote compared to his opponent, Horace Greeley, who earned 43.8 percent of the popular vote. Grant garnered 286 electoral votes to what would have been 66 electoral votes for Greeley, but Greeley died on Nov. 29, 1872, just 24 days after the election and before any of the electors from the six states Greeley won (Texas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Maryland) could cast their votes. Most of Greeley's electors cast their votes for other Democrats. Grant (left) is seen here on a campaign poster with his running mate, U.S. Sen. Henry Wilson of Massachusetts.
1895: George B. Selden is granted the first U.S. patent for an automobile.
1905: Actor Joel McCrea, best known for roles in movies such as "The Most Dangerous Game," "Sullivan's Travels," "The Palm Beach Story" and "The Virginian," is born in South Pasadena, Calif. He died of pneumonia at age 84 on Oct. 20, 1990.
1911: Actor and singing cowboy Roy Rogers, who, along with his wife Dale Evans, his horse Trigger, and his dog Bullet, was featured in more than 100 movies and "The Roy Rogers Show," is born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He's seen here at the 1989 Oscars with Evans.
1912: Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson defeats Republican incumbent President William Howard Taft and Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party candidate and former President Theodore Roosevelt to become U.S. president. Wilson won a large majority in the Electoral College and 41.8 percent of the popular vote, while his nearest rival, Roosevelt, won only 27.4 percent, followed by Taft with 23.2 percent. Also running was Eugene V. Debs of the Socialist Party of America, who got 6 percent of the popular vote. This was the last election in which a candidate who was not a Republican or Democrat came second in either the popular vote or the Electoral College, and the first election in which all 48 states of the contiguous United States participated.
1913: Actress Vivien Leigh, best known for her role as Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind" and Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire," is born in Darjeeling, Bengal, India.
1925: Secret agent Sidney Reilly, often considered the first "super-spy" of the 20th century, is executed by the OGPU, the secret police of the Soviet Union, whose undercover agents had lured him to Russia. Reilly, a Jewish Russian-born adventurer and secret agent employed by Scotland Yard, the British Secret Service Bureau and later the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), is alleged to have spied for at least four nations. He had been sentenced to death by a 1918 Soviet tribunal for his participation in a counter-revolutionary plot against the Bolshevik government.
1931: Musician Ike Turner, best known for his 1960s work with his then-wife Tina Turner in the Ike & Tina Turner revue, is born in Clarksdale, Miss.
1940: U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt wins an unprecedented third term in office, defeating Republican candidate businessman Wendell Willkie by capturing 54.7 percent of the popular vote and 449 electoral votes compared to Willkie's 44.8 percent and 82 electoral votes. The ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951 would make this election the only occasion in American history in which a candidate was elected to a third term as president. Roosevelt would go on to win election to a fourth term in 1944, before dying less than three months into that term.
1941: Singer-songwriter Art Garfunkel, best known for being one-half of the folk duo Simon & Garfunkel with Paul Simon, is born in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City.

Cohan, who wrote more than 500 songs during his lifetime, including the standards "Over There," "Give My Regards to Broadway," "The Yankee Doodle Boy" and "You're a Grand Old Flag," dies of cancer at age 64 in New York City. His life and music were depicted in the Academy Award-winning James Cagney film "Yankee Doodle Dandy."
1943: The Vatican's Saint Peter's Basilica (seen here in 2004) is bombed by an Italian aircraft, damaging several windows and a mosaic and causing severe damage to the Vatican's train station and water system. The attack was the only breach of Vatican neutrality during World War II.

I got mine from Academy sports and it came with the rear portion of the fake leather wrap and the thin, fake carbon, stick on pieces that fit in the grooves. They look cool enough but after about 2 or 3 shots the heat from my hand causes the adhesive to give out. The wrap starts to bunch up and it pulls the plastic strip out. I see grips in the catalog but none look like they will fit the exile. HELP, its already bow season here in GA and it was 93 degrees this past weekend in my stand.

Extreme weather is the new normal and poses a threat to the human race, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday as he sought to revive deadlocked global climate change talks.
Ban's intervention came as efforts to agree a symbolic extension of the U.N. Kyoto Protocol, a treaty that obliges about 35 developed nations to cut their greenhouse gas emissions until the end of 2012, looked to be faltering.
In a speech to almost 200 nations meeting in Doha to try to get a breakthrough, Ban said a thaw in Arctic sea ice to record lows this year, superstorms and rising sea levels were all signs of a crisis.
"The abnormal is the new normal," he told delegates at the Nov. 26-Dec. 7 talks. He said signs of change were apparent everywhere and "from the United States to India, from Ukraine to Brazil, drought (has) decimated essential global crops".
"No one is immune to climate change - rich or poor. It is an existential challenge for the whole human race - our way of life, our plans for the future," he said.
The failure to agree a Kyoto extension is blocking efforts to lay the foundations of a new global U.N. deal that is meant to be agreed in 2015 and to enter into force from 2020.
At the last attempt in 2009, a summit in Copenhagen failed to agreed a global deal to succeed Kyoto. Kyoto requires countries to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 5.2 percent below 1990 levels from 2008 to 2012.
Robert Stavins, director of Harvard University's environmental economics programme, said there was some hope that an accord could be struck in 2015 despite past setbacks.
"It's a blank slate and there is always hope for long-term happiness," he said, likening the situation to somebody seeking a new romance after being twice divorced.
Ban said that Kyoto was a valuable model even though Russia, Japan and Canada are pulling out, leaving a group led by the European Union and Australia that account for only 15 percent of world greenhouse gas emissions.
The defectors say Kyoto is no longer relevant because emerging nations led by China and India will have no targets to curb their soaring emissions from 2013. And the United States, the second biggest emitter behind China, never ratified Kyoto.
Ban also said that rich nations should step up aid to help the poor cope with climate change after a $10-billion-a-year funding programme promised for 2010-12 runs out.
World leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama set a separate goal of $100 billion in aid from 2020 at a Copenhagen summit in 2009, but did not set goals for 2013-19. Economic slowdown has made many developed nations less able to pay.
"There should be a clear roadmap" for raising aid towards $100 billion, Ban told a news conference.
"Developed countries must give clear indications that scaled-up climate financing will flow after 2012," he said.
Developing nations also stressed the need for details. "For 2013 to 2015 we must have a clear position on the injection of capital," said Xie Zhenhua, vice-minister at the National Development and Planning Commission, who heads China's delegation.
Britain said it would spend around £1.8 billion ($2.9 billion) to finance climate change measures from 2013-15. It also unveiled new projects from Africa to Colombia, including a 98-million-pound-scheme ($157.75 million) to aid renewable power generation in Africa.
"If anything, the science is telling us it's now getting warmer quicker than we had previously expected," said Ed Davey, British energy and environment minister. "Our actions as a world are going slower than we had previously hoped."

I have noticed for several years that most climate change reports and scientific papers use a less than realistic emission scenarios in their calculations. Since these emissions are long lived, this has led to a deepening concern about the climate situation and it's impacts today, in my lifetime, now. This important talk by Dr. Anderson (link below) at this years Cabot Lecture clearly points the finger at scientists for not accurately reporting how bad the climate situation is. He also explains why we cannot meet the 2 degree C (3.8 F) target set by the world's government and its impacts on us today. His talk is timely in light of this week's paper from the World Bank that found: "Even with the current mitigation pledges fully implemented, there is roughly a 20% likelihood of exceeding 4°C by 2100. If they are not met, warming of 4°C could occur as early as the 2060s." Globally, we are nowhere close to meeting our mitigation pledges and long lived CO2 emissions continue to accumulate in the atmosphere at an accelerating rate. It's like civilization has collectively said: screw it. Dr. Anderson is very animated and I think you will find it enlightening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RInrvSjW90U
