7 Great Cake Mix Hacks
"Research suggests that it's the social aspects of this holiday that provide the best experience. Some of the details we're obsessed with—buying the perfect centerpiece or cooking the fanciest dishes—don't contribute to the boost you get from spending time with family and friends. Refocus your energy so you can enjoy the best aspects of Thanksgiving, like loved ones coming together." —Elizabeth Dunn, coauthor of Happy Money
"In my family, the rule is, if we're entertaining in a big way, the table is set at least one day ahead of time," says Nate Berkus, designer and author of The Things That Matter. "I don't want any last-minute surprises, like we need 16 white wine glasses but there are only 12, or the table runner is missing."

Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages one to four.
Young children drown quickly and silently in as little as one inch of water. For every child who drowns, five more need emergency medical care for injuries that can result in life changing brain damage. The good news is that drowning tragedies can be prevented by constantly supervising children at all times when they are near water.

DCFS has the primary responsibility of protecting children through the investigation of suspected abuse or neglect by parents and other caregivers in a position of trust or authority over the child. Call the 24-hour Child Abuse Hotline at 800-25-ABUSE (800-252-2873 or TTY 1-800-358-5117) if you suspect that a child has been harmed or is at risk of being harmed by abuse or neglect. If you believe a child is in immediate danger of harm, call 911 first. Your confidential call will not only make sure the child is safe, but also help provide the child's family the services they need to provide a safe, loving and nurturing home.
Children are the embodiment of innocence and hope for the future. We all agree that every child deserves to grow up in a nurturing environment where they are loved, cared for, secure, and protected from verbal, sexual, emotional and physical abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Both child abuse and child neglect cause serious harm to child development and have lifelong effects that reduce well-being and productivity and create greater demands on society.
Agencies and organizations that seek to do business with DCFS can now open a new road map to navigate the procurement process. DCFS has launched the tailored and targeted on-line training, Doing Business with DCFS, which includes a comprehensive how-to guide and a useful resource directory for technical assistance.

Times may have changed, but courtesy never goes out of style. In today's world sometimes it's complicated to figure out how to do the right thing. Local etiquette expert Karen Hickman answers your questions or helps solve your dilemmas on Fridays in The News-Sentinel and at www.news-sentinel.com.
Q. Karen, my co-worker who sits very close to me wears overpowering cologne that makes me slightly ill after breathing it for a few hours. Do I ask him directly to stop wearing it, or ask our supervisor to speak to him?
A. Any fragrance, such as cologne, perfume and aftershave should be used sparingly in any situation, but especially at work. People should have to get fairly close to you before smelling your special potion or signature scent. You would never want your fragrance to precede you into a room or hang in the air like old cooking smells after you have gone. Your scent should attract people, not irritate them.
Many people are hypersensitive to perfume or even allergic to it. It can cause migraines, nausea and a general unwell feeling for some who are exposed to it for long periods of time. If you work with someone and have to share a fairly small space and their scent is causing you discomfort, it may be time to tell the offending person. Telling a person politely that his or her fragrance is causing you to feel sick may be all that is needed. However, if the individual doesn't respect your request to lighten up, you may need to take the issue to your supervisor or HR person so he or she can intervene. Today, the continued exposure to an unwelcome scent can be equated to having to endure secondhand cigarette smoke in the workplace, and some companies are being taken to task on the issue.
So here are some guidelines to keep in mind before you splash on your favorite scent:
•Consider the two-foot rule — people should not be able to smell your fragrance until they get fairly close to you.
•Choose lighter scents during the day and in summer months. Leave the heavier and exotic scents for nighttime and winter.
•Avoid wearing perfume in hospital settings (this applies to visitors, too) and on planes.
•Use lightly scented body lotions instead of perfume when you know you will be in close quarters with others.
•Don't mix your fragrances.
•Don't reapply a fragrance in public, and be mindful that the person wearing the perfume stops smelling it long before others do. Ask someone if he or she can still smell your fragrance before putting on more.
•If more than one person tells you your perfume is strong, believe them.
Less is more!

Evening all,
Got a quick question for you if I may. I am loving my new 211 Autoset. How I have done without a welder all these years I'll never know. I am replacing the sheetmetal floor in my cargo van. I have somehwere between 16 and 14 gauge sheetmetal that I am butting up against 1/8 plate that was given to me. I have next to no overlap at all between the existing 14-16 gauge floor and the big 4' x 8' sheet of 1/8 thick piece I am trying to put it. I being the new welder that I am am having problems blowing through thin metal when trying to weld to a thicker piece. So far I've done ok learning to build the pool up and let it cool and slowly cose the hole back up that I created. I do NOT want to play this game over a 4 x 8 sheet trying to weld 14-16 gauge to it. Any tricks of prep work to either thickness of metal or ideas to make a good weld? Doesn't necessarily need to be pretty or need to be terribly grindable because the bead will be around the outside edges of the floor in the van.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Tabs perhaps
Thanks for the quick reply. What about if I welded little pices all along the 1/8 thick piece spaced say 12 inches apart. Kinda like tabs to create some sort of UNDER-lap so I'd have something to bridge the gap. This is provided once I get the tabs all on, then I'd be able to manuever the large sheet to get the tabs under the thinner sheetmetal. Just a thought.

sure, good idea, that will give you the strength needed, as mentioned by the last poster, welding it all the way around will be a nite mare, then seal the rest with what ever, but lets say that you wanted to weld the whole thing up, fairly simple, start welding with a colder setting, after a few inches of welding, the heat will build up, then favor the thicker piece, also back stepping your welds are necessary, rule of thumb, always weld in the direction of a weld that is cooling

Thanks for the tips. Like I said, I have a complete 4 x 8 sheet that I'd like to put into the floor as a whole piece. But I KNOW I didn't cut the floor out exactly square given the rot was not square and I tried to leave as much floor as I could. I was thinking if I do the tab/underlay trick it would be easier to "shoehorn" the tabbed end under each side of the sheetmetal floor but do the sheet in two pieces. It would be easier to manipulate two pices than a large 4 x 8 sheet and try to keep that whole thing square. Then after I weld each half of the large sheet in, then just weld the two halves back together again. What do you think? Also, how do I put up some pics for you guys?

Jan. 19: Back to the grind today. Did well on the diet with shakes, bar, fruit and balanced dinner. Four swim meets this week so it will be tough to get the workouts in, but we are scheduled for Wednesday and Friday night. I am starting to feel some difference in the fit of my work clothes and hope to soon go down another notch on the belt. Several people at church noticed that I had lost. That was a good feeling.
Jan. 20: - Good Day today with the eating - never really felt hungry - busy all day so that helped.
Jan. 21: Eating was tough today because work was very busy - lots of time on the phone and following up with past customers. Workout was good tonight, although Trevor and I both agree that we need to try to get more of them in early in the morning. Right now with his schedule and my meet schedule it is hard. I have increased repetitions and weight on most exercises with increased reps on all of the core work. It has been hard, but an enjoyable hard. As I have said before, I thoroughly enjoy the workouts with the eating continuing to be the hard part.
Jan. 22: Eating was better today because I did a better job of planning ahead on what and when I was eating and drinking. It is still hard for me to drink plain water, but it is becoming more tolerable, especially if it is cold and I drink it quickly. I have also found that it takes less to fill me up than it used to.
Jan. 23 - Friday eating was tough because I didn't plan as well and work was very busy. I don't know if it was the workout or the fact that I didn't eat often enough, but I was so tired that when I got home I ate a couple of oranges. They were easy to fix, and I fell asleep in my chair. It was a very exciting evening for my wife.
Jan. 24: Saturday we had our annual kick-off for work. Everyone from all the dealerships gathers for a sort of "state of the union" message from our owner, presentation of awards and cash to the sales winners for the year - not me - and a variety of contests with cash prizes. A very nice spread of food and drink is provided, and we have a putting contest, corn hole tournaments (got second) guess how much cash is in the fishbowl. I was "very good" and only had a couple of Diet Cokes and one chicken wing. We were there about three hours and had a great time - don't know too many other businesses that would do something like that on a Saturday morning! Got to the gym that afternoon and went on the bike for 30 minutes and had a good sweat. We went to the movies that night and I was able to stay away from the popcorn. I did break down and have a couple of pieces of pizza - it was good.
Jan. 25: Sundays seem to be my toughest days so far. We went to church and I was very hungry. When we got home I had a piece of peanut butter toast and an orange. Later in the day, we went to Sandusky to do some shopping and then we went to Panera and I had chicken noodle soup and half of a roast beef sandwich and took a bagel home to eat later. Too many carbs today, but I am still eating less than I have in years. Gained that belt notch today and am close to 25 pounds lost and I know I have lost more inches. Will be anxious to measure and weigh in the end of this week to see the total progress for the month. I am sort of hoping to break the 300 pound barrier very soon! I will keep you posted.

Interpretive Handbook
9318 :
Specific Gravity, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Specific gravity (SG), the ratio of the mass of a solution compared to the mass of an equal volume of water, is an estimate of the concentration of substances dissolved in the solution.
Urine SG can be used to assess the kidney's ability to concentrate or dilute urine. However, because protein, glucose, and contrast dye have molecular masses that are relatively large compared to other major components of urine (eg, sodium, chloride, potassium), they disproportionately affect SG. In these cases, urine osmolality is a better measure of urine concentration.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
As a partial assessment of the kidney's ability to concentrate urine
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Low specific gravity (SG) (1.001-1.003) may indicate the presence of diabetes insipidus, a disease caused by impaired functioning of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Low SG also may occur in patients with glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, and other renal abnormalities. In these cases the kidney has lost its ability to concentrate due to tubular damage.
High SG may occur in patients with adrenal insufficiency, hepatic disease, congestive heart failure, or in patients experiencing excessive water loss due to sweating, fever, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Urine with contrast dye, glucose, or excessive protein should not be evaluated with this test.
Urine osmolality is a better measure of urine concentration.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

I'm not a html developer at all. This program made it pretty simple to bang out a quick page to keep track of data. Well done guys!
This does'nt work with HTTPS-Sites. There are nothing but error messages. I think COMODO certificates are reliable.
I have used the old version of Kompozer for years. Overall I found it really good but it had quite a bugs. Now I am using this new version and so far it seems really good! Thank goodness this great app got revived before it died!
The best 'portable' HTML designer.
Where can I find a very detailed procedure for installing Kompozer in Kubuntu ? Pierre

For John Clayton, artistic director for the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho, the annual festival is more than a celebration of great music – it's a powerful chance to educate and inspire students.
Since the first festival in 1967, the event has grown into chance to teach young people a uniquely American art form, as well as an opportunity for University of Idaho students to learn from jazz masters firsthand.
During the week of the festival – in 2014, it runs from Feb. 19 to Feb. 22 – the "Jazz in the Schools" program brings visiting jazz greats to elementary schools in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Students from all age groups also come to the Moscow campus, joining UI students in meeting jazz musicians, participating in workshops, attending concerts and presenting their own vocal and instrumental arrangements. That hands-on approach motivates Clayton.
"What's happening here is we're talking about thousands, not hundreds, of students who touch this music," said Clayton. "They don't just listen to it. They actually are part of making those jazz sounds. They are part of the excitement that is part of this festival."
Clayton, a six-time Grammy-nominated bassist, composer, arranger and conductor, joined the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival as artistic director in 2006. He facilitates artist participation in the festival, shapes the direction of concerts, and helps coordinate the student workshops and other events.
The student experience, he realizes, has an often "life-changing" impact for participants, planting a "seed" for musical appreciation that will continue to grow and serve students throughout their lives.
"That's how the continuum works," Clayton said. "It's all these people who have touched this music that now move into different parts of the world, that will on their own go to jazz concerts, will on their own tell other people about this music. Therefore, it won't die. And it will have begun right here at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival."

Ross Brawn says he's expects there will come a time this season when Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton clash both on and off the track...
Ross Brawn says he's expects there will come a time this season when Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton clash both on and off the track.
Although all seems well at Mercedes at present there was a moment earlier this season in Malaysia when the relationship between the two drivers could have turned fractious.
Told to hold station behind Hamilton at the Sepang circuit, Rosberg adhered to the team orders and chose to congratulate Hamilton on his podium result rather than sulk about it.
However, Brawn is adamant that there will come a time when something puts a damper of their relationship.
"Our drivers get on well, they have raced together before, they have got some nice history together, but we all know there will be events and incidents where they get angry with each other," the Mercedes team boss told ESPNF1.
"But that's natural, they are competitors and it's important that we recover from those very quickly so it doesn't become damaging. But they will have their moments for sure."
The Englishman added that while Rosberg and Hamilton work well together, their natural desire to better each other has helped push Mercedes forward.
"I think with any driver you need the pace and speed, because without that you are not going to succeed - the first thing any top F1 driver needs is the pace.
"Then you need an intelligent approach and if you both drivers working in harmony to improve the car and the way the team works, then you've got an ideal situation.
"Our drivers work very well together as team-mates, they want to beat each other and they are very quick and that's combination that we are enjoying at the moment."

Easy to set up. Sounds good, more bass would be good. Pros: As above Cons: None so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Speaker for the Price Written By GPop, Irving TX on Monday, September 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sound and value for the price. Configuring the speakers was a bit clumsy, but once done, I was able to get them situated in a couple of rooms and can stream iTunes to both simultaneously using AirPlay. Very attractive speakers, as well. Pros: Price, sound, appearance. Cons: Configuration. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice addition to my new kitchen! Written By Bill E., NYC on Thursday, August 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The unit is nicely designed and was easy to set up. The sound is quite good and the controls are very easy to use. I think the unit works best with a good wired or strong wireless connection. I originally paired it with a range extender and it skipped very often . When I then paired it with the weaker, but primary, wireless router it worked fine. It is a nice looking and nice sounding machine. Pros: One of the few such units you can get in white Easy set up Nice sounds - good bass Cons: Does not have Bluetooth built in 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Boston Acoustics MC200Air Written By JohnS, Millbury, MA on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is one of the best products I own right now. Set up once and ALL your mobile devices set up on your network as the MC200Air can switch and play through these speakers. How cool and awesome is that? Way cooler that cool. And sound will blow you away which is fantastic sound. I love it. Pros: Size (not to big), Design, Sound, remote, bag, input options to name a few. Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Great package Written By JS, California on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very impressed with this speaker. I bought it specifically for the Airplay functionality and the fact that it would produce better sound than the typical similarly-sized package. First, the wireless setup was extremely easy and fast. I have not had a single problem with it being able to connect to the wireless router even though I have power cycled it and moved it around the house and outside many times. It is small and portable enough to move with ease. The remote works as advertised. And it is so simple to use an iPod, iPhone, or computer with iTunes to play music. But I am really impressed with the sound. I have been a musician for decades and I know what live acoustic music (without over-engineering in the recording process) should sound like. Wind instruments, percussion, piano, voice, and strings all sound very good. This speaker reproduces the attacks on fretted stringed instruments with precision. The total sound package is open and natural with some of the separation you would expect on a pair of high quality mains. Keep in mind this is with higher-bitrate MP3 files transmitted over Airplay, there is some quality loss of course but what remains is really good. In my opinion, this speaker is a good compromise between portability, sound, convenience, and price. Pros: Great sound, really easy to use. Cons: Haven't had it long enough to find a big one. 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box?

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Kristen Schaub Powerful tower speaker performance Looking for speakers that deliver the kind of impact and clarity that make you feel like you're right there in the movie or on the stage with your favorite musical artist? Check out the RF-62 II from Klipsch®. This floor-standing tower speaker offers dynamic, full-bodied sound that makes it ideal for larger rooms. Building on Klipsch's previous Reference speaker line, the Series II models have updated drivers and a new crossover system for even more spacious sound. Pick up a pair for stereo music, or use them as your front left and right speakers in a home theater setup. Horn technology for "front row" sound All Reference Series II speakers feature a redesigned version of Klipsch's famous horn-loaded tweeter. Because high-frequency sounds are more directional than bass frequencies, it's especially important to target them right toward your ears. Klipsch places their titanium tweeter inside a flared opening, known as a "horn," which disperses the highs evenly across your listening area in a 90°-wide, 60°-high pattern. With their Series II speakers, Klipsch has redesigned the shape and slope of their famous horn enclosure, so your movie soundtracks and music will sound more "open," with improved dynamics and efficiency. All in all, you can count on powerful, "front row" sound that's crystal-clear at all volume levels. High-tech driver design The RF-62 II uses newly machined, light-yet-rigid Cerametallic woofers with a folded edge to produce smoother mids and tighter bass. The specially treated aluminum in the cones helps to dampen unwanted vibrations and reduce distortion, while integrated dustcaps add stability. The RF-62 II also has dual five-way binding posts, giving you the option to bi-amp or bi-wire this speaker for even better performance. And the rigid, braced cabinet comes in a handsome woodgrain vinyl finish. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Tower speakers produce powerful sound with excellent bass, making them a great choice for serious music lovers and for folks who want high-impact home theater.

I'm sure if you buy you will feel the same. Pros: Everything Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Great speakers Written By James, Utah on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers. I am hearing new music in everything I listen to. Fun!!!!! Pros: Great highs. Easy to put together. Makes music come alive again. Cons: Perhaps a bit shy on bass, ok for me however. Was this review helpful? Yes No great sound and value Written By Mike R, Connecticut on Monday, June 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers arrived as promised in excellent condition. Easy set up. As a complete novice audiophile I relied on the advice of the sales person in selecting these speakers. They are everything he said they would be- nice base, crisp clear higher tones and very little distortion at very high volume. These replaced some classic bose bookshelf speakers which sounded pretty good. The improvement is substantial even to my untrained ear. Great look, sound and value. Outstanding customer service. Pros: Excellent speakers for the price Cons: I will now need to upgrade my receiver to realize the full potential of the speakers 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Exceeded Expectations! Written By Chris, Deland, FL on Monday, June 08, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've used these for about 45-52hrs so far. 2-channel only. I listen to metal, nordic orchestral metal, reggae, reggaeton, late 80s-2005ish rap/hiphop, and trap. Played with a short length rca to 3.5 from an IPAD 3 or custom pc on a soundblaster zx. 320 kbps .mp3 files vs .flac vs CD are definitely discernible. I have not watched any movies with these yet. I am 29 and would not consider myself an audiophile. Living room is 20x30 with tile. The house is solid block with no crawlspace. The speakers are 1.5 ft away from the wall due to rear ports and not on the included spikes for carpet. These exceeded my expectations. 35hz out of a 6.5 woofer was hard for me to believe until you get these. They were tinny during break in, but the clarity and bass increased drastically later on. Powered by a yamaha rs201, bridges removed and dual wired 6 ft runs with 14g oxygen less copper. Much better quality than the versions sold in the box stores. Magnetic covers are great! Pros: Price and Quality of the speaker build. They look great even naked! Crutchfield Shipping! Huge improvement over previous generations that I have experienced. Wife likes them a lot. I blame her for a quick break in with her trap collection lol. She had to do the instagram with them(women).These speakers are in the piss off your neighbors crowd especially for the apartment/condo, zero lot line cookie cutter neighborhoods. Cons: Have to re-listen to the collection. None at this time. I probably should get a higher end standalone, stereo amplifier in the long run. People complaining about lack of bass must need a new amp or room layout. Or you are a giant basshead like the bass zombies in cars. I was into car audio 10 years ago! Was this review helpful? Yes No Wonderful Sound! Written By RedsIndians, Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am using these speakers with a Sony HAP-Z1ES hi-rez audio player and TA-A1ES amplifier. These have really brought about a new appreciation for my music collection. As corny as it sounds I am able to pick out things that my previous setup just simply didn't allow. The train passing by during the intro to Bowie's "Station To Station" has never sounded so realistic. The guitar during the chorus of the Beatles' "Wait" leapt out of the speaker. The depth of Waylon Jennings voice has never hit so hard. These have far surpassed my expectations. Pros: Crisp, clear sound. Display nicely when the grill is removed. Cons: A little weak on the bass side Was this review helpful? Yes No Super Duper Written By John A, Montana on Thursday, May 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are replacing some 35 year-old Advents that finally dried up and blew out while playing ZZ Top. They deliver smooth bass and I am hearing lyrics in the midrange that I never knew before. Pros: Excellent clarity and power. Cons: Virtually none. They are big, but that's what I was looking for when I ordered them. Was this review helpful? Yes No Really awesome speakers. Written By Jwall121988, Michigan on Sunday, May 03, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just got a pair of these speakers maybe 2 weeks ago and have been watching blu-rays and listening to music on them for a few hours every day. They sound amazing in my opinion. I was a little afraid of what I was reading online about Klipsch speakers, being that they are "too bright", but honestly I don't agree with this notion. I just think they sound really good. Doesn't fatigue my ear in the slightest, and this is often time after listening to a full album (40-50 minutes at a pretty decent volume). The bass on these is very impressive as well I might add, as they are able to reach incredibly low notes. I have these without a subwoofer at the moment (I will be getting a Klipsch 12" soon!) and they still make watching blu ray action movies super enjoyable. I almost find myself wanting to keep rewinding parts to hear them over because of the wow factor on these speakers. As far as the build quality, nothing more needs to be said other than they are masterfully put together. Most solid speaker housing I've ever felt to be honest. They look sexy and they make me smile ever time I put them on. I really do love these speakers. Buy a pair and see for yourself! Pros: Fantastic sound. Powerful. Insanely attractive design. Outstanding build quality. Cons: none that I can see or hear 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By starman, Michigan on Friday, April 17, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) luv'em Pros: it's the sound !!! Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No RF-62 11 Speakers Written By Charlie, Arizona on Sunday, April 12, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As a lover of strong bass, I might have preferred the 82's, but these do produce most acceptable base along with crisp treble. Driving them with a new Onkyo TX 8050 and am very pleased with the overall sound. Very attractive in the environment. Pros: very good bang for the buck Cons: maybe could have a tad more bass Was this review helpful? Yes No Very musical, excellent for movies Written By David, Texas on Monday, April 06, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall I'm very pleased with the RF-62 II. They haven't completely broken in yet, but every time I listen they open up more. I've always liked the sound of Klipsch, so I may be biased towards the sound a horn speaker makes, but I find these speakers to be very musical, even at low volumes. Push the volume, though, and they respond willingly. I'm pushing them with a Marantz SR6003 and it seems to be plenty of power. The only reason I haven't given a full 5 stars is because of my indecision between the 62 and 82. If I had to do it over, I would likely get the 82. I find i still prefer the sound, even music, with the support of a sub. I'm not a total bass-head, but I like to hear low the frequencies. While sharp, the 6.5" woofers in the 62 struggle to provide that umph that I desire on the low end. I'm not sure how the 82s compare. I do have to say that the 62s are very responsive, and paired with a sub sound fantastic. So if you don't mind running a sub with your music, these are a sure bet. Placement does matter, but the sound will fill a room. Pros: Very musical, low distortion, precise sound Cons: Fairly large box (even for a floor-stander), woofers probably can't stand w/o a sub. Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By Mike H, Minnesota on Sunday, April 05, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After buying the RB-61 II for my computer I decided to to buy these to upgrade my AV system. I had a 'Energy classic 5.1' surround speaker system which was OK for movies, but I really wanted better sound for playing music. These Klipsch speakers had so much more body, clarity & presence than I had before. I also bought the Klipsch RC-52 II to replace my center channel speaker. Next up is to replace the rear speakers with some Klipsch Reference RS-41 II. Pros: Great sound for listening to music. Cons: Not a fan of the tower look, but I understand the design dose get the horn closer to ear level. Was this review helpful? Yes No RF-62II's are Fantastic Written By Jamie, Georgia on Thursday, March 26, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered these as I was thinking the RF-42's I had ordered was not going to do the job. The speakers arrived but one had a broken Speaker grill and a blemish on the cabinet. These things happen.....not a big deal as Crutchfield has done a fantastic job of taking care of it. I have these hooked up to a Denon AVR-X2100 in a room that is 14x19 open concept with 12' ceilings. After calibration these sounded great! Much fuller than the 42's did. These speakers blended much better with the subwoofer than the 42's did. Audyssey actually set the crossover at 40hz and I was amazed how full they sounded. I used Pink Floyd and Carlos Santana as reference music. I also tried these speakers with the receiver set to Direct and Pure Direct sound settings and they actually sounded great! I will be getting the matching center channel very soon. Pros: Build quality Full sound even with out a subwoofer Look great! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By iblues, California on Sunday, March 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I added 2 of RF-62 along with a BIC F12 subwoofer with an Onkyo TX-NR636 for a simple 2.1 setup in a 10x12 hall in a small apartment. They seem perfect for my taste of listening. These speakers are so amazing to hear. I didnt have much issues with the "brightness" of the horn tweeters as I had set both my front speakers to -2db in my amp. Will probably add some surround speakers and a Klipsch RC-52 later to complete the 5.1 setup. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great speakers Written By Richard w., Florida on Monday, March 16, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Shipping was on time and the speakers were in good shape. Easy hook up and the sound blew me away. These speakers sound excellent. The price was the next best thing. Thank you Crutchfield. Pros: Sound for the size Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes No RF-62II Great speaker Written By HYPURR, Oklahoma on Sunday, March 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) While not a dyed in the wool audiophile, I do appreciate good sound. The bass these produce is tight and punchy, almost sounded as if i had left my sub woofer on. I actually had to check my sub to make sure it was off and it was. The clarity is great, the highs are crisp and clear, as other reviewers have said, you will most definitely hear things you hadn't heard before in movies. Vocals in music are very clear and the music is enveloping. I do not find these to be too bright at all. I am powering them a Sony STR-DN1050 AVR and they sound great. I am very pleased with them. At this price, I don't think you'll find a better speaker. If movies and rock are your primary material, then pull the trigger, you will not be disappointed. I would not use these in a small room or small apartment, the bass may be too much. I am also very pleased with Crutchfield, they shipped right on time and arrived on time with no issues. If you can afford these speakers, get them, you absolutely will be glad you did. Pros: So far everything about them. Some have said they do not look pleasing to the eye, a bit mundane I guess. I find them to look very nice, they are big, not huge, but big and will need some room to fit, so make sure you have the room for them. Cons: None so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By Eddie C, California on Wednesday, March 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Been searching for a new speaker for my new home. After months of researches, I lock down into Klipsch because of the reviews i read online. Recently I see theres price drop, I jumped onto it. Been using it for 2 weeks now, it's probably the best money speakers you can get on the market right now ! Pros: Great looking , awesome pricing, strong mid range , crystal clear sound, good bass Cons: zero 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Speakers!! Written By Dan, Mansfield, TX on Sunday, February 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are my very first pair of stereo speakers and they fill my moderately sized living room with full stereo sound. They have amazing bass presence so I didn't need to add a sub woofer! Thank you to crutchfield for guiding me to these speakers! Pros: Amazing sound! Beautiful pieces of furniture! Cons: None! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Just right! Written By John, Kalamazoo, MI on Monday, January 26, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was in the market for a good quality 2-channel audio system which would fill a room with sound and bring all my favourite music to life - these speakers do that job really well! My listening range is very broad from pop through to Indie, rock, and a bit of classical. My previous speakers were a pair of B&W 600 series floorstanders which I had to sell due to an international relocation to the USA. It took me a few listens to get used to the Klipsch speakers after being used to the bigger sound I got from the B&W's. But I think the sound is crisper and more detailed. The Klipsch proprietary horn design works very well provided that you position yourself directly in front of the speakers. I paired these speakers with a Marantz PM6005 amplifier and matching CD6005 CD player and I haven't switched the system off since I took it out of the box. These speakers perform well above their price bracket and I am very happy with them. Pros: Fantastic performer for the price and the Crutchfield team are great to deal with. Cons: None at this price 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect! Written By MD, Tampa, FL on Wednesday, January 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After researching a pair of speakers to go with my new Yamaha R-S700 receiver, I decided to go with the Klipsch RF-62 II speakers. They are a perfect match to that receiver. I made my choice after reading every possible review from all of the available sources as well as feed back for other sites and reviewers. I made the right choice and love the quality sound over all ranges with them. Highly rated! Pros: Perfect match for my R-S700 Yamaha receiver and they look fantastic! Sound quality is outstanding. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch RF-62ii Written By Anonymous, the Washington, DC Area on Thursday, January 01, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are very nice..."fast" and so much detail that was missing...Iisten to primarily Baroque string concertos, Corelli, Locatelli, Geneniani, so beautiful and clear and dynamic, it goes right to your soul, I haven't listened for three hours in a row in a long time....a quantum leap over what I had, doesn't even sound like the same cd's. Some people have said they are large and can overpower a small room...I have them in a one bedroom apt living room, I don't think they are too big at all.I think they are just the right size...I am using them as two channel stereo with a tube amp and preamp with just superb, exquisite results. Thank You Crutchfield I am very happy with this purchase from you. Pros: dynamics, balanced, detail, fast, bass, looks Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Sounds much bigger than they are Written By EricG, Lincoln, NE on Wednesday, December 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these towers to compliment the RC-52 center channel I bought several years ago. They are really nice speakers, and if you get them on sale, they are a great value. The highs are clear and articulate, but not harsh or brittle. Some say you either like Klipsch horn tweeters or you don't. I somewhat disagree with that as these are much smoother sounding than horn tweeters of 10-20 years ago. They are still not as soft or smooth as a silk dome tweeter, but they are definitely pleasant to listen to and I do not experience any fatigue while listening to them. Mids are very lush and full with just a hind of bass bleeding into them. The bass is warm and full, but somewhat muddy. It is perfect for movies and general music listening. It does not handle sustained deep bass hits well like you would find in rap or hip/hop music. I don't listen to much rap, but I did throw in some Lil Wayne to see how they handled it. They sound find with quick hits, but with hard, sustained synth bass, they distort badly at high volume. This is the only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars. Flip to rock music (which is much more my style), and they shine. I'm more into hard rock and metal, but there is nothing more musically beautiful than listening to a lossless recording of some old Santana, Fleetwood Mac, or Pink Floyd. The clarity, articulation, and soundstage put out by these speakers is nothing short of breathtaking; enveloping you in sound. Close your eyes and smile. Pros: Clear, articulate, yet smooth highs Lush, warm mids Smooth, warm, full bass If you want them for a theater room or for listening to anything other than rap, you'll love them. Cons: Lack of dynamic punch for really low sustained bass A little bit of bass bleeds into the low mids (I suspect using a larger sub combined with the current mid woofer would sound much better, but who asked me) The vinyl "wood" veneer looks really cheesy. Either use a real wood veneer, real wood, a leather or leatherette, or just skip it and paint them gloss black. This is really nit-picky, but the "feet" on the rear of the speakers should really be one bar that goes all the way across the spea 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No great speakers for the $$ Written By ChrisL, Baltimore, MD on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are great speakers for the money. They sound good and are solid and attractive. I'm using with a subwoofer, so I can't speak for the bass. WIth my sub though, they handle the highs and mid tones perfectly with my sub. I used my Denon-auto-setup and tweaked the crossover levels. Now I have a wall of sound whether listening to pure stero music or with surround mode on. I'm happy about this purchase. I didn't give 5-stars only because I know there are bettter (more expensive) speakers available. For my small room though, this is more than enough and I am picky about my music and video. Pros: Clear sound, attractive design Cons: none yet Was this review helpful? Yes No Wonderful Written By DOUG, Downingtown, PA on Friday, December 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speakers out of the box. Very crisp highs and good bass, good looking cabinets. I ordered these Monday morning and they were on my doorstep in less than 24 hours!

Klipsch sounds great Pros: Cherry is beautiful and the sound is moving Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Happy Written By Andrew, Grand Rapids, MI on Friday, September 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was my first set of speakers that wasn't one of those home theater in a box sets. So I am no expert by any means, but I left my old $300 sony system hooked up so I could compare the sound, and I can't believe what I was missing. My old speakers just seem so muffled and dead compared to these. Also, I bought these Open box and they are perfect looking, and both sound great. Pros: Awesome sound! Cons: The tweeters do bother my ears a bit and they are quite large. Was this review helpful? Yes No Cheap Materials Written By Jeffrey, Sarasota FL on Tuesday, September 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound good,The cabinets are cheap,Chinese quality for sure are only one year the black ash vinyl is coming off and Klipsch is giving me a hard time about repairing or replacing the speaker or cabinet.This is the second pair this same thing has happened.8 years ago i bought a pair of RB 81 bookshelf speakers and the same problem. Pros: Good Sound Cons: Cheap Materials. 4 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch RF-62 II towers Written By jtown, Windermere, FL on Saturday, August 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very crisp design. Love the bi-amp connections, they pack a great punch. Beautiful with grills on or off. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Speaker bargain of the century Written By Jackson, Dallas TX on Tuesday, July 08, 2014 It's hard to believe the cherry finish is cheaper. It looks very warm and realistic. But you want to know about the sound. While they do require a break in period to bring out full depth (they are bright out of the box), once they are broken in the deliver phenomenal sound. Particularly with vocals, these speakers are relaxed and won't wear you out for hours of listening enjoyment. The high efficiency design ensures that any amp pushing 8ohms can handle these speakers with ease. I am very fond of the transparency of the sound. The cabinets and the grilles don't impart any noticeable character to the sound source. Although, the copper cones are so beautiful with the cherry cabinets you may leave the covers off permanently. I was originally blown away by a demo set of the RF52 II speakers but after finding this deal, I figured why not go a little bigger, a decision I do not regret. I am quite impressed by these, coming from some less musical yet decent JBL speakers, and they have made the perfect match to my Rega turntable and Yamaha two channel receiver. I do suggest dual wiring them if your tuner supports it. Pros: Looks, sound, craftsmanship, stability Cons: A little on the heavy side but not much of a con. Requires some break in time to truly sound expressive. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Exactly what I expected ! Written By Dan, Soldotna, Alaska on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers perform just as I expected and had read about , they are a perfect fit in my Klipsh home theater system and I got the heavy punch and power that I was looking for without being to huge or expensive. Pros: Perfect size for a tower speaker with awesome music sound quality and high performance, movies sound much better as well. Cons: none 1 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Blown Away Written By DonD, Hoover, AL on Monday, June 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Yes No Next Generation Loudspeaker Written By Lambo, Orlando, FL on Friday, January 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice speakers, beautiful cabinets and very excellent sound quality. They play very sharp clean sound at any volume and take little power to drive compared to my old speakers. I did however like the powered sub-woofers in the Polk towers I previously owned although at 15 years old with one blown it was time for a change. I'm thrilled with these Klipsch RF-62's and with the loudness button on my 85W RMS Onkyo receiver I still get a decent base response. Pros: Clear crisp sound at any listening level, beautiful cabinet and reasonable price for a speaker at this level. Cons: None regarding the speaker but I do miss powered sub-woofer thump! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Solid Written By Damon, Middletown, DE on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love these speakers. They do sound a little "bright" out of the box, but everything I read says they need to be broken in for a little while before they give a nice "warm" sound. I have them paired with a Pioneer SC-1223-K which I've also read will contribute to that endeavor. They are very solid and well-built, and look beautiful with grill or without. The grill is magnetic for easy removal and restoration. Very happy with purchase. Pros: Construction, Crystal-clear sound, looks, Klipsch brand. Cons: None. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great pair of speakers Written By Gene, Hawaii on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First, Crutchfield service is outstanding. Now for the speakers, they exceeded my expectations in looks, build and sound. The cherry finish looks much better in person and much better than the black. The speakers are heavier and more solid than I was expecting. The sound is great. Large, deep sound stage, the "front row" sound is just that. The sound stage is projected out into the room creating a great sense of depth. Imagine is terrific as well, especially for the price. Detail is of course excellent. I was a little worried that the horns would be harsh for music, but my worries were unfounded. The mids and highs are very good and spectacular respectively. Certainly no complaints. Biggest surprise is the amount of bass. These towers surprised me in the amount and depth of the bass. It's tight and controlled. I noticed no booming or muddiness. A very nice speaker. 5 stars for the price. Pros: Detail in the highs, efficiency and bass 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent -beyond expectations Written By Larry W., Coarsegold, CA on Monday, September 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wasn't expecting the beautiful sound recreation from these speakers. What a wonderful addition to our surround sound. An exceptional enhancement to our music listening experience. Pros: Love the high range clarity. Warm and comforting mid and high range. Low range superb. Cons: None 3 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No RF62 II's Written By Shaun, Kansas City, MO on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very full sound. Have used primarily for watching movies for the moment. Sound nice even at lower volumes. Slowly replacing an onkyo home theatre in a box system I have. These loudspeakers are definitely a great start. Have no doubt enhanced my movie watching experience. If you're on the fence, just do it and thank me later. Pros: -Great sound at lower volumes -Nice highs -Just enough bass without sounding too boomy -Take up less room than I thought they would -Solid construction with good weight Cons: Double check to make sure you've got enough space. Not so much width but the speakers are pretty long right around 15 inches long. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

These replaced my very old ADS speakers and are paired up with a Pioneer Elite VXS-84TXS receiver. They sound wonderfull.

Yes No RF-62 II Written By KevinH, Ashland, OR on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I originally bought the bookshelf version RF-62 II's. I loved them so much. Then when I saw the Tower's were discounted I didn't hesitate and immediately bought them as well. Now with the towers in front and the bookshelves as surround I am in 7th heaven (this set up is in my bedroom). I don't have space for a subwoofer, but I don't need them. I moved my turntable to this set up so I can play all the classical and jazz vinyls I have while reclining in my sleep number. It is sound, sound all around and when I close my eyes I feel like I am lying down in the middle of the stage. Pros: Deep, rich and smooth sound reproduction all up and down the frequencies. No need to mess with the spectrum analyzer it is so balanced. It doesn't matter what volume the sound is being played at. 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Klipsch RF62II speakers are made right here in the USA and they are an outstanding product. Pros: These speakers sound great! They create a great theater experience! They look fantastic!

I am a drummer who enjoys playing to music and I need to have some volume behind me and these definitely put out the volume. They have a great bottom end (bass) and the highs are clean and crisp. You can hear every little detail of a song. I couldn't have been more impressed with a speaker. Pros: Great bass and great high's and nice, loud volume that is clean. Nice looking speakers (all black). Cons: Screws to install feet have a phillip's head and the screw head can strip out when attempting to tighten. I have preferred a torque's or square head screw. 11 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I ordered two of these speakers and they arrived in perfect shape, within 3 days, and they sound incredible! I only wish my listening room was the size of a concert hall so I could fully enjoy their gorgeous sound. While they are fantastic easy listening speakers, these dudes were made for volume.

Also, as with their bookshelf models, Klipsch speakers are crisp, clear and love to be cranked up. I upgraded to these towers and not only did the sound level go up, the bass picked up dramatically. I no longer need to upgrade my two sub woofers. These speakers are well worth every penny. 14 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Sound!

I purchased five of these (along with the equivalent center channel model) for a new home theater installation, and I could not be more pleased with their performance. From their crystal clear highs to their organ pedal-tone lows, these speakers deliver very refined, uncolored sound at any volume - along with excellent imaging characteristics. I consider these speakers to be a very good value. 13 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Klipsch Reference RF-62 II employs dual 6.5-inch woofers and a 1.0-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver loaded with a square Tractrix Horn, inside a bass reflex enclosure. The Klipsch Reference Series floor-standing loudspeaker will bring out the power, detail, and emotion in your music, movies, or video games. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology Highly-Efficient Design: The Klipsch RF-62 II utilizes a highly efficient design to produce more output using less power & energy for louder sound with less distortion. The RF-62 II is able to fill large rooms with outstanding, accurate, non-fatiguing sound that you can listen to for hours. Tractrix Horn Tweeter: The Klipsch RF-62 II features a professional-grade 1.0-inch titanium-diaphragm compression driver inside a square Tractrix Horn for smoother high-end response with greater extension, enhanced imaging, and more powerful dynamics. The Tractrix Horn delivers a 90-degree wide by 60-degree high dispersion pattern for a broader sound-stage. Behind the horn lies a 1.0-inch titanium tweeter with a linear travel suspension for open, natural, sound. Dual Woofers: The dual 6.5-inch woofers of the RF-62 II feature Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic cones. Made with an anodized aluminum, these cones are strong and dent resistant. The anodizing process converts their inner and outer surfaces to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range. The 6.5-inch woofers also employ a rubber surround for added durability. Crossover Network: For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the crossover on the RF-62 II features the finest components and Klipsch custom internal wiring. Enclosure Design Bass Reflex Enclosure: The dual 6.5-inch Cerametallic cone woofers and 1.0" titanium diaphragm compression driver are mounted in a Bass reflex enclosure which features dual rear-firing ports. The RF-62 II's rigid cabinet offers improved internal cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that can color sound and dual rear-firing ports to eliminate turbulence noise. A black metallic finished baffle around the horn mouth and dual woofers dramatically improve acoustics across the sonic range. The bass reflex enclosure features a MDF cabinet finished with either a Black Ash or Cherry wood-grain vinyl. Magnetic Grille: The floor-standing loudspeaker features a removable magnetic grille which easily snaps into place over its cast-aluminum front baffle. The speaker can be used with or without its grille in place. Connections Dual Binding Posts: The speaker has two sets of binding posts connected by jumpers. Using the dual binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (single only), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire. Mounting Options Feet: The RF-62 II feature two integrated front-feet and two stabilizer rear-feet with rubber bottoms so you can safely place the speaker on your tile or hardwood floors. The Reference RF-62 II also comes supplied with a set of carpet spikes so you can place the speaker comfortably on your carpet. The supplied carpet spikes add approximately 1.0-inch to the height of the speaker. The carpet spikes screw in directly to the bottom of the floor-standing speaker's feet. Placement: The Reference Series floor-standing loudspeaker is designed to perform well in a wide variety of locations but you will get the most out of the speaker by following these simple guidelines. The speaker requires a few inches of clearance behind it to allow its port to breathe and will sound best when they are at least two feet from any nearby walls. A pair of RF-62 II loudspeakers should be equal distance from the wall behind them. It also helps to have the left and right speakers at different distances from their nearest side walls. This sort of staggering helps smooth the bass range. Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

Michelle Obama
Ms.Obama spoke eloquently in defense of her husband. Michelle made it clear, that she did not want to come across as the woman standing behind her man. I liked this, as often political wives are viewed as accouterments. When she continues in her praise, Barrack tried to cut her off. Michelle made it clear, that she was aware that he was attempting to silence her, and continued speaking. Though she said that he was trying to stop her because he was embarrassed, I believe that it is important to take note that not even a presidential candidate can silence this woman.
Often when women speak we are interrupted by men. It is assumed that we have nothing of value to add to any conversation. What a man has to say often takes primacy. I applaud Ms.Obama for publicly declaring her right to speak. The next time you are interrupted by a man when you are speaking, regardless of the reason, have the courage to finish your thought. What we as women have to say is just as valuable as any man.

Again what problem do you have with a woman standing by her man.It worked for Hilary,why is a Black man not worthy of this?The White man conquers the world not on his own but because these White girls are taught to respect men.That is the way the world is I am sorry.Men build civilization,nations,governments,women benefit from this.

No man despite his position has the right to silence a woman. This is what a post is about. Michelle was speaking in defense of her husband when he attempted to silence her. I did not comment on the nature of what she was saying my comment referred to Barracks attempt to silence his wife. This is not a color issue it is a gender issue.
All women are socialized to submit to men and this quite different than respect. Submission is not a natural state, it is a condition of patriarchy. Finally you will never be able to point to a single accomplishment of "man" that does not involve the participation of women to some degree. Men may hold the majority of the positions of power due to the systemic nature of sexism however women have always performed in supporting roles.

But yet what do you call Hilary letting Bill run around on her all those years?You see how you are not consistent.Women want what they want,if submission will get it fine if being independent,then fine also.Most men are not buying what your saying because it it male bashing 101.

Now you are making an assuption on the nature of the Clinton marriage. You cannot state for an absolute certainty that they have a monogamous relationship. Many people lead polyamourus lives. You further do not know that she was upset by his sexual relationships you are making an assumption based on your moral conceptualization of what constitutes a marriage. For all you know Hilliary could have been in the tea room having her own fun with a secret service agent while Bill was busy with Monica. D

You cannot make sweeping comments like 95% of black people without referring to some peer reviewed study.
I am tired of your constant reference to the bible. I beleive as Marx said that religion is truly the opiate of the masses.
What people say and what people actually do sexually are two different things. I suggest you look over the work of Kinsey. Sexuality is experienced as a spectrum. There is no sexual act that is universally considered disgusting. It is hardly sick to suggest that the Clintons may be polyamorous many people engage in this and are very happy.
