1 pound
hot Italian sausage links
1 (12 ounce) package
bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon
olive oil
3 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 (16 ounce) jar
Alfredo sauce
1/2 teaspoon
black pepper
This was too die for with the following changes:
Omitted frozen spinach and used fresh spinach (2 c.) and added to the oil and garlic mixture during last 4 minutes of cooking then added alfredo sauce etc... Also added 2 tbls. pesto to Alfredo Sauce. We topped pasta off with Asiago Cheese which is what MADE this recipe.We also accidently fried the sauage but would be fine broiled as recipe calls for.
was good, but not special. next time i might cook the spinach a little. i also made a few changes that altered it, but they were by accident.
its a good base.

This recipe is very good and easy to make. To give the jar sauce more of a homemade taste, I added white wine, Romano cheese, and water from the cooked pasta. I also added a can of diced tomatoes (seasoned with Italian seasonings) with the pasta and spinach. This recipe would also be good with chicken.
Simple and delicious! After reading the reviews I made some additions and modifications. First, I just took the sausage out of the casing, crumbled and browned it in a pan. Then, I sauteed some fresh mushrooms in the olive oil and garlic. I also used a bag of fresh baby spinach instead of frozen and wilted that with the mushrooms. I used Classico Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauce and added in 2 TBSP of basil pesto. Next, I mixed in some petite diced tomatoes that I had drained and then added in the cooked sausage. Let everything cook for a few minutes and served over bow tie pasta. Deliciouso!
This was REALLY good! The only thing I did different was I added fresh mushrooms to it and it was excellent. My husband loved it. Because I added a lot of mushrooms, it sucked up a lot of the sauce leaving the noodles only lightly covered. Next time I might add just a little less noodles to make it slightly more saucy. Other then that, it was great.
This was excellent! I am always looking for easy to make pasta recipes that my husband will love and did!! I make the alfredo from scratch... a must and so easy! I just melted butter, cooked the garlic in the butter as directed, added teh heavy cream, parmesan, salt and pepper, brought to a boil, reduced to simmer and let it cook down. Then I just follow the recipe as is. It is a great way to get some spinach into a very rich, delicious meal! I will make this probably more than chicken alfredo, thanks!
Broiling the hot Italian sausage really brings out the flavor. Make sure you break up the chopped spinach before you try to add it to the pasta or you will get clumps of spinach that you will have to break up before you can serve. The end result though is DELICIOUS!
This is my lazy night pasta dish. Incredible flavor! I use the Classico Garlic Alfredo jarred sauce. I stretch the jarred sauce by making a roux with butter/flour/garlic/salt/pepper then add milk....and then I mix the jarred sauce into that. I just like my pasta with extra sauce. I've tried it with mild italian sausage, and also pork link sausage and the flavor is just not the same. Stick to the Hot Italian Sausage. Yum!

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Excellent product for single din openings. Pros: Has everything but navigation Cons: Doesn't have navigation Was this review helpful? Yes No Ken wood Excellon 897- meh. Written By Neil, Marietta, GA on Friday, May 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Lots of features, but no buttons to get to pre-set stations sucks. Pros: Many features, good iPhone connectivity. Cons: No buttons for pre-set stations. Having to dial through menus is god awful! Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Written By MatthewS, Billings, MT on Thursday, May 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought the refurbished unit and I'm impressed. Honestly, if I didn't know it was a refurb I wouldn't be able to tell. The stereo is immaculate and came with everything that I would assume would have come with a new one for much less money. Instructions were easy to follow and because Crutchfield is so awesome and includes the wiring harnesses, factory stereo removal tools and an antenna adapter for my car, I had the factory stereo out and this one back in the in in probably under 30 minutes. It's too bad this model has been discontinued -- because I got a winner here! Pros: Good looking head unit. Ton's of inputs/outputs. Nearly infinitely adjustable display colors to match almost ANY interior lighting. High and low-pass filters build into the deck. Cons: I do have to agree with some other reviews I've read about this that the menus aren't particularly user friendly or easy to navigate. Bluetooth input isn't configured by default to push audio to ALL the speakers -- only the fronts -- and the option to enable ALL speakers is hidden a bit and not mentioned in the users guide included with the deck that I could find. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice stereo Written By Stores, Sebastian, TX on Friday, April 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this stereo as a refurbished item and I have to say that the quality is awesome. Excellent sound, nice features. I was debating about what kind of radio should I get to upgrade the factory one and I'm pretty sure I made a good buy. Plus the Crutchfield customer service is excellent Pros: Nice features, I love the three line display, good price Cons: No cons yet Was this review helpful? Yes No Kenwood Excelon KDC-X897 Written By Tim, Hockley,Tx on Thursday, March 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Nice Head Unit. Good sound Was this review helpful? Yes No Kenwood Written By Mahalo, Honolulu,hi on Saturday, February 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Very good Was this review helpful? Yes No A decent unit with some room for improvement Written By meyestone, Alexandria, VA on Thursday, February 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It sounds good, and I don't find the menus quite as confusing as some others. As many have noted, the display is very hard to see in the daytime - perhaps Kenwood should focus less on making the colors change, and more on making it visible. I note that the Pandora and "I Heart Radio" apss will only work with an iPhone or iPad if it's physically connected via USB - Android phones will work with Bluetooth. It's a bit annoying that the only way to switch between Tuner, Rear USB (which I have attached to an old iPod) and Bluetooth is to cycle through the options that are not connected (Pandora, I Heart Radio, Front USB, etc.) Pros: Sounds is good, nice clean look, lots of input options (USB front and rear, CD, Bluetooth). Cons: Display too dim for daytime, menus could be tidied up. Oh, and the manual is not well written. Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent head unit! Written By AaronP, Plano, TX on Thursday, February 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value A very nice head unit, that is a huge upgrade in sound quality and features from stock. Pros: Looks great. Colors match factory dashboard lighting. Feature rich. Sounds great even with factory speakers. Cons: Would have preferred physical buttons for radio presets, but my wife wanted an uncluttered faceplate. Was this review helpful? Yes No Kenwood KDC-X897 Written By Henry M., Novato, CA on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It does everything it is supposed to do and does it well. Pros: It sounds just fine my old tin ears without an amplifier Cons: I have no complaints. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great, once I beat Bose Written By Keith M, Hilliard, OH on Tuesday, September 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This stereo has every feature you could want and the price. Easy to set up, sleek minimalist style, great build quality and great sound. Installed in a 2008 350z roadster to the existing Bose amps/speakers. The problem there is a built in feature called audiopilot (speed compensated volume feature). It is built in to the amp, not the head unit. And when you connect an aftermarket HU, the default is on. Volume was randomly increasing/decreasing-drove me crazy. Turns out the microphone for road noise on this vehicle is in the steering column. Disconnect it and all is well. Now I love it, love it, love it. Pros: Single button control (Pretty Much) Multiple front/rear source inputs Great sound 4 volt preamp outs Very customizable 2 Year Excelon warranty Cons: None right now 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Unit! Written By scubagoo, Freeport, IL on Thursday, August 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Just what I wanted to upgrade my 2006 MX-5 Miata. Crutchfield's instructions and support are second to none! Installation was very easy since I had great instructions! The first unit did have a slight defect, but Crutchfield support took care of the exchange with no hassle. Pros: Great features, sound, and price. Cons: Accessing all the features a little confusing for an old guy like me! Kenwood should include a better "User Manual". 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Kenwood Excelon KDC-X897 Written By JayS, GR, MI on Thursday, July 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I have to agree with the other reviewer that said that the display isn't bright enough. I drive a convertible so maybe it's because it's often in direct sunlight but despite adjusting the brightness, contrast and color selection the display can often be difficult to read. Overall though a great radio.. Takes a bit of getting used to only a few buttons at first but you get used to it quickly. Love the bluetooth- works great. Sound quality is excellent. Hooked up easily to my (already installed) amplifier Pros: ease of use after initial few minutes of setup, overall good value for $ Cons: display not bright enough. It may be easier to have more buttons for station presents instead of having to scroll up or down the entire list 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesum replacement for the original head unit Written By BMW Al, Fairport ny on Monday, July 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Awesome replacement for OEM unit! The instructions, support and cable kit all worked flawlessly. The car originally came with an integrated cell phone and now with this unit it has an improved integrated cell phone with the Blue tooth link to I phone. Plug and play! Pros: Ease of use and operation Cons: Got to be carefull when hitting the buttons the front panel release can be hit when driving. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome deck Written By Jose M, Manati, PR. on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This is one of the best car audio receiver out there. It plays awesome and it improved how my original speakers sounds. Only con (and is not a bad factor at all) is that it can be difficult to reach some of the features. And the instructions really doesn't explain or say a lot about what the features do. Pros: Amazing sound and look. Cons: Features can be overwhelming to reach. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A Good, Simple Radio Written By danny451, Northern Virginia on Monday, June 03, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I was quite surprised when I purchased this radio. I wasn't looking for anything fancy or flashy and this radio seemed like it wouldn't be flashy. You can configure the display in many ways and pick and choose what song information you want to see. It requires a bit of getting used to in order to use while driving, because the unit does lack buttons. I found it easy after a read of the manual. The bluetooth works very well. In all this is a great radio for the value, if you are looking for bluetooth music streaming. Pros: Simple looking Good sound quality Many adjustable settings Cons: A bit hard to get used to The screen reflects some light 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Sound with Odd Controls Written By Mike B, Ohio on Friday, May 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this because I like the minimal look of the newer kenwood decks. My only gripe is that it can be a little difficult to use and access the settings menus. Also, the color changing buttons and screens can be a bit difficult to read when it is scrolling with certain colors. Overall, I'm pleased with the unit and the sound quality is great. Pros: +Great Sound +Lots of features +Has a cool minimal look +Easy Install Cons: -Display can be difficult to read -Settings aren't easily accessed Was this review helpful? Yes No '03 Highlander - Sounds great Written By Jamex, San Diego, CA on Monday, May 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Installed in an '03 Highlander. Wow what a difference. The install itself was easy. Many ways to tailor the sound which I like. I also installed a Polk component set to replace the terrible stock speakers as well as a 12" sub and the Kenwood makes my car sound like a concert hall. I'm not sure what the previous reviewer is talking about with the display not dimming - mine does when I turn on the lights. The brightness is decent and readable, and you can change the color/contrast of the display. I live in San Diego where it's always sunny and I have no issue reading the display. Bluetooth streaming is great, and using it to take calls is convenient with the supplied microphone. The USB in the rear is key for me as I hate seeing dangling wires coming from the front of the unit (when I use my old ipod). Navigating the unit takes patience. There are menus galore. At this price I would have liked a less "shiny plastic" look but it still looks sharp in the Highlander. This is my first Kenwood receiver and I think they really stepped their products up lately. Pros: Many menu's of customizable audio options. Rear USB port. Bluetooth streaming. Phone call support. Clean sound. Cons: A "little" too plastic-y. Phone calls via stereo can be tricky (talking to someone, turn off car, then phone hangs up). Might be a deep setting I need to adjust. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Kenwood Excelon KDC-X897 Written By MPS, New Tazewell, TN on Saturday, May 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Fine sound output without replacing the factory speakers in my 1982 Rx7. A big improvement over the original equipment! Pros: Great sound, bluetooth, mp3, & iPod work well. Cons: A bit of a bear to install-- power antenna does not retract when unit shuts off. Was this review helpful? Yes No Display not very bright with lots of daytime glare Written By Marc, La Crosse, WI on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) rating "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value First things first. I could hardly read this display during the daytime unless the sky was completely overcast (think: a rainy day). Working with a Crutchfield tech, we determined that the display apparently does not brighten during the day, because it doesn't dim down when the headlights go on, and the night time illumination is just about right. So maybe a bug in this unit or maybe that's the way it's made. The sound and sound tailoring is good. But for sure, the glossy, curved cover over the display lends itself to reflecting any and all daytime light; and if you can't read the display very well in the daytime, no amount of good sounds or "Coolness Factor" is going to matter. Also, my unit tends to skip when playing CDs. I've got a pickup truck with some pretty knobby tires, but we're talking about skips while driving down a normal city street in reasonably good repair, so the skipping seems abnormal to me. Maybe another bug? Installation was a breeze (slow but no errors) using the Crutchfield-supplied instructions and installation kit. The instructions and kit alone make buying from Crutchfield the only way for me to go. The tech support from Crutchfield on my problems has also been excellent, and Ed (the tech I connected with) is in the process of helping me select a replacement that will work well for me. This is the first time I've needed to use tech support, and it's been as good that everyone else has said it is. Thanks Ed, and thanks Crutchfield. Pros: Good sound tailoring, makes factory speakers sound better Lots of setup options Cons: Glare on display cover makes it very hard to read in the daytime Setup options sure seem complicated, but initial defaults are reasonable 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Kenwood Excelon KDC-X897 Written By Jason, Chesterfield, MI on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I'm using this unit for my boat. The sound quality is great, have it paired with a JL amp and Sub, 6x9s and 6.5's. The display is very cool looking and you can program it to constantly change colors, etc. While it took some time to navigate the functions, its easier to use then the newer Sony i just sold. It is compatible with Kenwood wired marine remotes (RC60MR & RC35MR) although Crutchfield does not say that. Very happy with this selection. Pros: Cool display, 4V preamp, compatible with select Kenwood marine remotes Cons: None 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very High Quality and Feature Packed Written By DrH, Muscatine Iowa on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Last year I put a Kenwood X896 receiver in my PT Cruiser. It took several months to find the hundreds of programming settings. It wasn't long before I stopped driving my minivan because of all the conveniences of the receiver in the PT -- BT hands free calling, instant connect with IPhone, Ipod, Iphone Pandora via cable or BT, my entire music collection available on 32GB USB drive, ability to plug in my portable XM receiver to the AUX input (the list goes on). The Kenwood Iphone app and the computer app for creating music catalogs on USB drives works great. I decided to order one for my minivan but found the X896 was discontinued and "upgraded" to the X897. The X897 does NOT have HD Radio but the tuner picks up far more stations in my area than the X896 unit. The X897 has a 2nd rear USB cable (fixed to unit and routable to the glovebox or under dash) as well as the front USB port. The X897 seems a little more solid than the X896 and the buttons are larger and easier to see. The display on the X897 seems brighter and I really like being able to set the display formats, lines, and colors separately for every music source. The Equalizer Pro feature allows you to customize crossover points and sound settings for each of the music sources separately. A great sounding unit once you tweak it. Forget the manual -- it is still useless. Press and hold the volume knob in for each source and you will go into "settings" to program each source. Easy install. Really Awesome! Pros: Integrates all your music sources and allows custom sound and display programming for each source. Easy install due to Crutchfield's guarantee that you get all needed accessories and clear installation instructions. Looks and sounds awesome. Cons: Display can be hard to read in bright sunlight. Manual is worthless. Steep and complex learning curve (but worth it!) 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The power output specs for the KDC-X897 are as follows: Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD) Maximum Output Power: 50 watts x 4 channels 6ch/4V Preamp Outputs: The KDC-X897 features front, rear and subwoofer 4.0-volt preamp outputs. The front and rear speaker preamp outputs are balance and fade adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. The front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs are fixed to the rear chassis of the head unit. Note: You can turn the head unit's built-in amplifier off to improve the quality of the sound from the head unit's preamp outputs. Front & Rear High-Pass Filter: The KDC-X897 features a High-Pass Crossover for the front & rear channels when your front & rear speakers are connected by the unit's speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You can adjust the high-pass crossover from "Through", 100, 120, or 150 Hz. The "Through" selection is a full-range setting.

Title: the power of love - part 2
Date: July 11, 2006
Summary: A doorway opens to the dimension of love.
Onomatopoeias used: "HUG-SPLOSION!", "HISS!", "GRRR!", "BITE!", "RRR!"
Number of panels: 6
Panel 1
There is an HUG-SPLOSION!
Panel 2
Beaver: "Wh-what happened?"
Steve: "The hug power was so strong it ripped a hole in the space-time continuum: a doorway to another dimension!"
Beaver: "Oh no! Which dimension?"
Steve: "The dimension...of LOVE!"
Panel 3
(speech bubble with illustrations)
Steve: "It is the source of all love in the universe. Every time a couple holds hands or a kitten has a birthday a little love leaks into this world. Normally this love dissipates harmlessly into the atmosphere where it is broken down by grumpiness particles..."
Panel 4
Beaver: "Aw, that sounds kind of sweet!"
Steve: "Under normal circumstances, yes, it is extremely adorable, but now [that] the doorway is open there is nothing to stop the flow of love!"
Panel 5
Beaver: "Oh Steve, you say that like it's a bad thing. The world can always use a little more love!"
Panel 6
The Love (represented by hearts) HISS!'s, GRRR!'s, RRR!'s, and BITE!'s Steve.
Love: "Free at last!"
Steve: "AUGH! I am suffused with LOVE!"
Beaver: "Though I suppose it's possible to have too much of a good thing..."
Fun Facts
This time, Steve is correct when he says he is suffused with love, though he might still have a few lice.
- "I am suffused with LOVE!" is a line from the first strip, indeed the very first line in Beaver & Steve.
- "Free at last!" is a line from Comic 35.
- The heart and two plus signs above Beaver's head in panel 5 is taken from the PC game The Sims.

Rosh Hashanah Recipes
|Caramel Apple Cake
This beautiful, moist cake is stunning. With its apple slices peeking out and its wonderful caramel glaze, serve this one at High Holiday season; it will surely earn you high praise.
Caramel Syrup
Apple Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F. Using nonstick cooking spray, grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13-inch glass or metal baking pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan. Spray the parchment. Cut the Granny Smith apples through the belly into a total of 12 (1⁄2-inch thick) slices; you should see the star in the center of most of the apple slices. Pick out seeds if desired. Place into the pan in rows of 3, overlapping slightly if needed. Set aside.
Prepare the caramel syrup: In a medium pot, heat the 4 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and corn syrup over low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted. Remove from heat. Pour 1⁄2 cup of the syrup over the apples in the prepared baking pan. Reserve the rest in the pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Allow the cake to stand for 5 minutes or until the pan is cool enough to touch. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Turn the cake out onto a very large platter. Remove and discard the parchment paper.
Recipe: kosher, parve or dairy, dessert

|Lake Champlain Maritime Museum to Launch Replica 1776 Gunboat
The Philadelphia II Replica 1776 Gunboat
During the American Revolutionary War, Lake Champlain was the scene of much activity with the British moving soldiers and supplies southward from Canada to the fight in the Colonies. The Colonists thought it would be a good idea to stop them there and, as a result, there were some sea battles on Champlain as well as land battles at the British fort at Ticonderoga near the lake shore.
On the water, the rebels and the British used a variety of watercraft. The colonists employed the gunboat whose sole function was to be a platform for a cannon or two. These gunboats were simple affairs, just a bit more than a large raft and often built on the spot. A large, well armed ship could easily defeat one but when the gunboats were used in numbers and spread out, they could inflict serious damage on a larger and more powerful enemy ship.
Archaeologists and re-enactors from the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will launch this weekend a full-sized replica 1776 gunboat at the Falls Basin in Vergennes. The ceremony begins at 11:00 Saturday the 25th and the public will be invited aboard until mid afternoon. At that time the gunboat will proceed along Otter Creek to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Burlington. There will be viewing opportunities along Otter Creek.
The gunboat, named the Philadelphia II, will take part in Sunday's Rabble in Arms event, a reenactment of American Revolutionary War times. The museum's gunboat will take part in naval maneuvers and gunnery exercises.

|Quechee Scottish Festival August 25
The Catamount Pipe Band at the Quechee Scottish Festival [photo copyright by the St. Andrews Society of Vermont]
The 35th annual Quechee Scottish Festival will be held Saturday, August 25, from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm at the Quechee Polo Field.
There will be Scottish music and dancing, arts and crafts, highland athletic competitions, pipe bands, sheepdog herding trials, and Scottish and American food.
The directions on the website show (poorly) how to find Quechee but not the Polo Field for some inexplicable reason. Just drive west on Route 4 from Exit 1 from Interstate 89 and you will probably see it but if not, just ask around. Or stop in and ask at Scotland By The Yard, an interesting store specializing in Scottish goods. It is located on Route 4 in Quechee.
Part of the proceeds benefits a scholarship program by the St. Andrews Society of Vermont.

A few members of a high school girls basketball team from Farmington, Ill., thought it would be funny to slyly flash the shocker in their team picture. As you can see above, it was indeed funny, but the school administration didn't seem to think so, and the girls were suspended.
Here's one of the suspended girls, explaining the situation on Twitter:
farmington's administration shocked us #fuckfarmington
— jessica (@jessica_settles) December 5, 2013
@Kerrdura_3 suspended two games for shocking em in our team and senior picture lol pic.twitter.com/0Bo2O4pDpL
— jessica (@jessica_settles) December 6, 2013
Yeah, #fuckfarmington. But while you're being mad at the school administrators for being stodgy and lame, remember that some narc probably had to explain to them what the shocker is before any suspensions could be handed down. This is all your fault, narc.

expansive / theme
Expansive extends both in space and in emotion: it is a feeling of spaciousness. There is room enough and more to breathe, to walk for hours, to send out an eyebeam that travels like light and still does not reach the horizon. Expansive throws out its arms and encircles without closing the circle. It fills without crowding. It is a vastness that does not frighten or diminish, but rather expands, extends, internally opens the human, makes
him a phenomenon of nature.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

An 18-year-old is dead after he was apparently shot in a Lewisdale neighborhood Thursday evening, and Prince George's County police are now seeking information in the killing.
Around 7 p.m. in the 7200 block of 24th Avenue, police were called for the report of a shooting, police said.
According to police, officers arrived and found Meyder Bladimir Yuman of the 2200 block of Lewisdale Drive in Lewisdale lying outside with an apparent gunshot wound. Police said Yuman was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Yuman's home was less than a half mile from where he was found shot, police said.
Police are looking for possible suspects and trying to establish a motive, said Cpl. Larry Johnson, a county police spokesman.
"If anyone thinks they heard or saw something, please give us a call," he said.
The police department's homicide unit can be reached at 301-772-4925, or tips can be given anonymously through Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS.
A phone number for Yuman's residence could not be located.

Mon Repos (meaning My Rest) embodies a diverse and interesting array of historical, environmental and leisure activities of the Bundaberg region all in this one stretch of secluded beach - no wonder the turtles love it here!
Mon Repos has the largest concentration of nesting marine turtles on the Eastern Australian Mainland which occurs from November to March annually - visitors can witness a mother making her way up the beach to lay a clutch of eggs or from January to March, the hatchlings taking their first breath and scurrying down into the wide blue yonder.
During the day Mon Repos is popular for swimming, sailing and beachside picnics, although pooches aren't welcome due to the fragile nature of the natural environment for turtles.
The beach is open from 6am to 6pm during turtle season and then after dark by turtle tour with the experienced ranges of the Mon Repos Conservation Park.
If you are a bit of a history buff then Mon Repos is where Bert Hinkler undertook some of his first historic glider flights and the Kanaka wall is a testament to the hard work of Melanesians from the South Pacific Islands who were indentured to work in the Queensland canefields from 1879 to 1904 moving volcanic rock from the region into packed rock walls which can be seen all over the regions coastline.

Someone was offering a machine to me. The serial number is lb-174522. The manual from miller states it does do 3 and 1 phase but the back of the machine says different. Was it made 3 phase to keep it from leaving a job site or something? I don't want it if is either stolen or 3 phase only.

Will an xmt 304 that only shows 460/575 3 phase on the back, work on 1 phase?
OK, If you have 460 or 575, its 3 phase. I have a difficult time wondering why you want to run it on single phase 460 or 575.... If your somehow thinking its going to run on 230 forget it!

I don't have 3 phase at my house and I can't use a "3 phase only" machine. It's pretty cheap but I don't want it if I can't use it . I'd imagine that miller would have put "3 and 1 phase" on the back if it could do that. But this only has what I stated above "460/575 3 phase". If you say that it is a 3 phase only machine and won't run or run properly on 1 phase, that's good enough for me. I'll just pass on it.

you should watch more foreign films from multitudes of countries.
I do watch foreign films, I just generally don't like them. So the list only partially reflects what I watch. Thanks for the suggestion though. I do plan to see a few more Bergman films (talking to member Doubt about that recently) and I have a whole list of samurai films in my netflix queue.
BTW Screwtape, I noticed you replaced the menacing Nosferatu with loveable Calvin & Hobbes? LOL!

I'm not much of a Spike Lee fan myself, but seriously no love for the Malcolm X film?
In a world with Uwe Boll, Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, and Michael "butt of all film jokes" Bay,
I've disliked Spike Lee since he said that only black people should direct black films. The way he said it sounded racist. So, as a person I don't like him but I do like his films. Just like as a person I don't like Roman Polanski, but I like his films.-Nam
