Franklin police seeking males in armed home invasion
Franklin police are seeking two unknown males who forced their way into a home, displayed weapons and stole money from two of the residents on Saturday evening.
According to the Franklin police report:
A resident in the 4900 block of West Tumblecreek Drive called police after he was confronted by an unknown male armed with a long gun as he was opening his back patio door about 9:25 p.m. May 24.
When the male ordered the resident to go inside the home, another unknown male armed with a handgun also entered the home. The two stole $300 from one of the men and $80 from the other, and then fled the residence on foot in an unknown direction.
The males are described as two males wearing all black. Both suspects were also wearing masks and hoodies.

Franklin —The Franklin Police Department is investigating a case of vandalism that took place inside an elementary school early Sunday morning.
The police department was contacted by a custodian of Southwood Glen Elementary School around 1:50 a.m. on Sunday, April 26, after the building's security system had triggered an alarm, said Franklin Police Captain Joseph Spak.
The custodian reported that someone sneaked into the school and had thrown eggs on the gymnasium walls, poured milk on the floor and started a small fire in one of the plastic garbage bins. The melted plastic had caused damage to the floor, Spak said.
An unidentified flag was also burned at the scene. Spak said the item was not an American flag.
The school district also reported that one storage room had been vandalized.

approved a new elementary school to be built within the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District last year. Now, the district has to figure out how to shift existing students into that additional school.
Oak Creek — ResidentsSince the $59 million referendum (which will also fund a new secondary school) was passed in November, a special Elementary Attendance Area Committee has met several times to discuss new student boundaries for each school in the district.
"Right now, all of our schools are crowded," said Superintendent Sara Burmeister, "so we need to reduce the number of students at each of our elementary schools, making them more balanced and providing more room to grow in attendance areas that will most likely see residential development in future years."
Numbers game
The number of students enrolled in the district has jumped from 4,823 to more than 6,000 since 2000. Current enrollment shows that five out of six elementary grade levels as well as Oak Creek High School are above capacity. (The high school enrolls 2,038 students but is designed for 2,000.)

Collmenter looks to give D-backs a shot in the arm
Mets call on Wheeler for road-series opener with struggling Arizona
Both Zack Wheeler and Josh Collmenter will look to return to familiar form when the Mets take on the D-backs in the first game of the three-game series on Monday in Phoenix.
Wheeler allowed one run on six hits in 6 1/3 innings against the D-backs in his last start at Chase Field in August.
Collmenter, who started the season in Arizona's bullpen, is making his first start since replacing Randall Delgado in the rotation.
"It's obviously nice to come back to the rotation. It's something not a whole lot of guys get to do once they are sent to the bullpen," Collmenter said. "To be able to go back and forth really helps out."
Collmenter, who is expected to throw 90 pitches, made 11 starts for the D-backs in 2012, but his best year as a starter came in '11, when he went 10-10 with a 3.38 ERA in 24 starts. He threw four innings of relief against the Giants in his last outing to help prepare him for the shift.
This marks Collmenter's first start since pitching five innings against the Cubs on Sept. 30, 2012.
"Everything is pretty much scripted [as a starter], and you know exactly when you are going to throw," Collmenter said. "The bullpen is fun because you get that burst of adrenaline, but it's definitely fun to have both sides of the coin and know how to do both."
As for Wheeler, he gave up four runs in five innings against the Braves in his last outing.
"I was aggressive [against Atlanta]," Wheeler said. "That was my goal coming into this year was to be aggressive. Sometimes when you miss with your pitches, they take advantage of it. Sometimes they don't."
Mets: Granderson talks Hammer, Babe
The Mets will be in Arizona for Jackie Robinson Day on Tuesday and were in Atlanta last week for the Braves' ceremony honoring Hank Aaron on the 40th anniversary of his record-breaking 715th career home run.
Curtis Granderson said he seemed to hear more about Babe Ruth than Hank Aaron growing up.
"I felt I would see Babe Ruth hit base hits, home runs that weren't even record-breakers," Granderson said. "It just seemed like I heard Babe Ruth's name a lot more. At the time Hank Aaron was the champ, but for whatever reason he didn't get highlighted as much."
D-backs: Ross' return appears imminent
Cody Ross could be activated from the disabled list sometime this series.
Ross, who is recovering from August hip surgery, has been playing for Triple-A Reno while on rehab assignment. The club would like to see him play nine innings before activating him.
"He played almost eight innings [Saturday] so we are getting fairly close," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "We are getting close but at the same time we are just getting him into seven, eight and nine innings."
Ross will likely be limited to playing left field and right field upon his return.
Worth Noting
• Collmenter is 4-0 with 2.84 ERA in 38 innings over his past seven starts.
• The Mets will celebrate Shea Stadium's 50th anniversary by rolling back ticket prices for their April 18-20 games against the Braves at Citi Field. A limited number of promenade outfield and promenade reserved tickets are be available for the 1964 box seat price of $3.50, at Mets.com/1964.
• D-backs are hosting exhibits from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum through Wednesday.
• Mets outfielder Chris Young (right groin), who played his first seven seasons with the D-backs, was scheduled to play for Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

These proprietary vultures (TI, Samsung, etc) are going to play the cat and mouse game with Linus and Dave, giving little bits and pieces of additional functionality over time, but without ever contributing a fully open source, complete 3d driver. It's frustrating to watch them try to get around the policies that have been set forth by the kernel developers and the license, knowing that once it is eventually accepted into mainline, we still won't have any open source 3d support on these chipsets.
They just won't do it. They probably aren't willing to give up built-in S3TC support in the 3d driver, or perhaps they have additional patent fears regarding their 3d code. Or maybe it's the pressure from the DRM cartels that keeps them from opening it all the way up. But so far, these mobile developers are unwilling to compromise and provide open hardware documentation and a mostly-working 3d driver, like AMD has.
I wish AMD would go into the business of making GLES SoC 3d acceleration engines. If they apply the same thought process to that as they have their radeon effort, we'd have excellent smartphone/embedded APUs with open source support. You just can't trust TI or Samsung to play by the spirit of open source, they are just concerned with complying with the letter of the license.

At the beginning of Day 3 of the government's case against Dan Choi, the defense filed a motion to compel production of certain documents. Among them was a Secret Service email sent the day before Choi's arrest on November 15, 2010 for chaining himself to the fence of the White House with 12 others in order to protest Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Defense attorneys Robert Feldman and Norman Kent asserted that there was a coordinated effort among federal agencies to use the power of the government to single out Choi and persecute him in order to silence him. Judge John Facciola decided in favor of the defense, saying that he believed a prima facie case had been made that the government was engaging in "vindictive prosecution" of Choi.
Assistant US Attorney Angela George asked for a recess while she conferred with her supervisors at the Department of Justice. Following a 2 hour break, the trial resumed. There were four Supervising US Attorneys present as George informed the Judge that she was filing a writ of mandamus to prevent him from allowing Choi's attorneys to present a defense of "defensive prosecution" or "vindictive prosecution."

I used them to create the Bardot front bump as one of the other reviewers mentioned. It worked great! If you want to create this look you have to tease your hair. The good thing is that you don't have to retease it over and over. The poufs help to keep the hair bumped up.

EricaChampaign, ILHairMedium BrownNormal HairMixed OpinionThe poufs worked well...the only problem was the poufs are held onto the clips by a thread and when I was trying to get them out of the package I broke one of the threads, so now I only have two clips left, which isn't really enough to do a big pouf...My advice, handle gently and carefuly remove them from the package!

Gwendolyn B.New OrleansHairAuburnFine or Thin HairVolumizer Of The Yearthese hair poufs are the bomb. don't let the small size fool you. they pack a big punch. they give volume wherever you want it and as much as you want it. if you are a big hair girl and like a lot of drama i suggest you buy 2 sets. they 're time savers in the morning because you no longer have to curl your hair and repeatedly back comb and spray hair with holding spray only to have flat hair soon after. these things will more than pay for themselves with one visit to the salon because not using all those holding sprays that build up will give me a longer time in between shampoos. every girl should have at least one set in her beauty essentials box. i live in new orleans so every year mid august we have to pack a bag in case a hurricane is coming our way.....and guess what ? i NEVER leave home without my beauty box and from here on out i will never evacuate without my hair poufs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AC Power Adapter
This precision balance can be connected to a computer using the RS232 port and the included WinCT software. This software can be used with Windows based computers to transmit data to and from your GX precision balance.
This balance is equipped with magnetic force restoration, or electro-magnetic force, to provide super fast, accurate and repeatable measurements.
This precision balance has a splashproof keypad with an IP (Ingress Protection) rating of 54. This means the scale's membrane keypad is protected against dust and splashed water. So, if ya get a little liquid on the GX1000 just wipe it off and get back to weighing.
You can program this precision balance to automatically turn on when the AC is plugged in and to turn off after a few minutes of inactivity.
This precision balance has a really cool dynamic weighing feature that will let ya get accurate weights of unstable items, this is especially great for weighing animals!
To make sure ya get your weights just right, this precision scale has a checkweighing feature that will let ya set your target weight. Once your target weight is set, the GX-1000 will let ya know when you're over, under or just right.
This feature will let ya compare the weights of your samples against a predetermined reference weight. This can be helpful in weight checking, compounding, formulating and more.
You bet it does! All ya need to do is weigh a sample amount of pieces, so the GX1000 can know how much each piece weighs, then start counting. You'll be finished in no time.
This function will improve the accuracy of the unit weight by re-calculating the unit weight with each additional amount of pieces ya put on the scale. This is gonna make counting your parts and pieces super accurate and super easy.
This digital scale has a fancy VFD display with bright blue digits so your weight readings will be nice and clear. Benefits of the VFD compared to LCD are a wider range of viewing angles, brighter digits, better contrast and easy viewing from greater distances.
The A&D GX1000 has an RS232 port built right in. This is important if you're wanting to send your weight readings and other data to an external source like a computer or printer.
The GX 1000 has a durable stainless steel weighing platform to make cleanup a breeze. Unlike gold or silver, stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
You won't have to worry about buying calibration weights for this scientific scale. This GX has automatic internal calibration that uses internal weights to calibrate the scale. The GX-1000 will automatically calibrate with a significant change in temperature, or whenever ya tell it to. This is gonna come in real handy, especially if ya don't like going through the whole calibration process. If ya prefer to calibrate the scale manually with your own weights, you can do that too.
Sometimes the thing ya need to weigh just won't fit on the scale's platform. Now that's a problem for most scales, but not the A&D GX 1000. This scale has a weighing hook built right into the bottom. This hook works by pulling on the weighing platform when an item is hanging from it, just like if ya were to put an item on top of the platform. Just uncover the hook, and hang your item from it to weigh.
The tare button on the front of this digital scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use an expansion scoop to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
This very handy feature will help you quickly and easily get your scale nice and level. A level scale is important for getting the most accurate weight readings.
This compact balance is covered with a 5 year warranty from A&D Weighing against defects in material and workmanship.

Coming to the Museum over the holiday weekend? Remember to stop by the Museum's Rose Center for Earth and Space on 81st Street between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West for a unique type of space show. Bright green waves of laser light will ripple across the Hayden Sphere from 5 to 11 pm every evening until Sunday, November 27, to illustrate how the Hubble Space Telescope analyzes distant galaxies, quasars, and other celestial objects in the universe—and to mark the opening of Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, the Museum's latest special exhibition.

Call it the antithesis of Grey Gardens. While that famous documentary showed how Hamptons socialite Edith Beale and her daughter oversaw the eponymous estate's slide into squalor, the inhabitants of the 17th-century monastery in Portugal at the heart of Convento, a selection at this year's Margaret Mead Film Festival, lovingly resurrected a ruin into a home full of life and art.

I'm a musician in Nashville. I'm originally from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where I was raised in the Church of Christ. The very conservative anti-science thinking screwed up my worldview for a long time. I still have a major guilt complex from it. I stopped attending church around 17 or 18, but it took me until I was 22 to realize that there was no magic being in the sky looking out for me, that I should have paid more attention in science classes, that people who didn't follow the Bible to the letter were not in danger of burning in a lake of fire (and thus were not in need of "saving"), and that I had probably been behaving very ridiculously for my entire life but had not been self-aware enough to realize it. It's been kind of awkward transitioning. I tried being "agnostic" for a while, but with a little help from Richard Dawkins I realized that I was really just an atheist. Or rather I just don't believe. Calling myself an atheist implies that I'm a member of some kind of group that is lumped together because of what the members refuse to believe rather than what they do. I kind of don't like the idea, but I do think that due to the state of things in this culture (U.S.A./Bible Belt) it has become important for atheists to find each other, discuss ideas, and "come out" so that we can no longer be marginalized. I realize it's a long time coming because God is such a taboo, but there are so many nonbelievers out there who are either terrified that they'll be punished with hell, terrified of the social repercussions, or maybe they're just a couple of science lessons away from realizing the difference between fact and... nonsense. I'm ready to learn more and try and make a difference.
Hope I meet some interesting people here!
I'm a musician in the Nashville area.
Hi doubingED,
Most of our activity here in West TN revolves around our meetup groups - we have a free thought and an atheist group that are pretty active. Send me you You Tube channel link so I can check it out. Glad you are here.
Hey everybody, I'll be moving to Nashville this summer.
I once had a car burst into flames in a parking lot after a trip I took to an atheist rally.
You really should know better than to try and park in a church parking lot. LOL!
Welcome WW.
Me and my family have been living near Cookeville, TN for the last 4 years. It is saturated with churches and religion. My children's school has a huge white bible predominately displayed in their lobby. When asked, they claim it has historical value and 'deters the devil'. I have two sons--ages 16 & 8--that attend this school (and they still spank which blows my mind). I actually witnessed a man dragging a cross down Hwy 111 with a bunch of brightly colored signs stuck to it a couple of years ago.

Well you could say it generated quite some buzz in the web. Even the biggest german pc game magazine, GameStar, reported about it.
Phoronix: Valve Updates Its Unreleased Steam Linux Client
Two days ago we started our exclusive coverage of Valve's soon-to-be-released Mac OS X Steam client showing Linux support after saying two years ago Steam/Source is coming to Linux and then yesterday finding more Steam Linux references and even the unreleased Steam Linux client binary and libraries. This has stirred up attention elsewhere on the Internet and within our forums there are now many users dissecting and discussing this soon to be monumental event for the Linux gaming community...
Well you could say it generated quite some buzz in the web. Even the biggest german pc game magazine, GameStar, reported about it.
Well steamclient.so is from 21-04-2010 but i still did not see a gui running. For osx you find miles_osx.zip and webkit_osx.zip which are not there in the linux packages. That miles_osx.zip is also a bit special as it contains a win32 dll (!) named mssmixer.mix and maybe a wrapper libMilesMachOx86.dylib.
Well I do not believe they will make an announcement just yet. Apple enjoys getting a major game platform and wants the showlight, and Valve gets paid by Apple for being nice to them. I think we will have to wait until the Mac client is officially released to the public and then some more weeks before we will here anything official.
That doesn't mean I'd like to be proven wrong and it's coming sooner :P
I kind of hope they don't hurry too much, I just bought a radeon 5770 and there's no DRI support for those yet
Then again: yay!
No worries, unless you use the closed NVIDIA drivers you can't play any of them reasonably well within the next two years.
That's simply not true.
The 3D part of the AMD Catalyst driver is working very well nowadays and is improving monthly. There won't be any problems with this one.

Comments about CamelBak Annadel Hydration Pack (Women's):
I use the Annadel Hydration Pack for long runs (5 miles +) and all-day hikes. In addition to the obvious benefit of keeping me hydrated with fresh, cool water, I've been pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the pack is. The front clasp keeps the pack stable so that it isn't too bouncy as I run. I've found a new use for the pack that I didn't originally plan on, which is that I wear my pack while being a tourist in various European locations. Southern Spain gets very hot, and I've found having my pack is cheaper than buying water as I go, and there is enough storage for my wallet, phone and keys.
The one downfall is that the front clasp doesn't expand very far. This is particularly a problem on cooler days when I wear a jacket. I realize that I could wear it inside the jacket, but the pack is pretty cool, so I would prefer to have it on the outside.

Question for all you TT Neptune owners out there...
Just wondering if anybody has tried using a Neptune without the front dive planes operating? Mine seems to be very prone to porpoising sometimes, and I wonder if removing the front planes and (maybe) installing an auto leveller on the rear planes may cure the problem?
This is my Neptune with modified deck and flashing UltraBrite HiViz LED's.
(I forgot to add that the thinking behind this is that boats like the Seehund and the Biber don't use foreplanes, and the model ones I've seen operating seem to perform extremely well without them)

Foreign Area Officers gear up for 21st century tasks
By Natela Cutter, Strategic Communications
Imagine someone telling you that you may end up working for the Secretary of Defense, giving senior civilian leaders advice about how the U.S. military operates on the ground and how best to achieve U.S. national security ends by working with foreign militaries; or that you may find yourself advising a U.S. commander in combat about the local customs and traditional power structures to help achieve success on the battlefield.
Sound crazy? Not for some 80 Foreign Area Officers who attended the Foreign Area Officer Orientation Course from February 11 to13 at the Presidio of Monterey's Weckerling Center.
"I love my profession. For those who like working with foreign militaries through Embassies and on battlefields, studying languages and international relations, and traveling around the world, this is an absolutely fantastic career," said Col. Dino Pick, director of the FAO program at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center.
The FAOOC, held semi-annually at DLIFLC, brings together newly designated FAOs for a three-day training session, designed to introduce them to their new career path and future training and educational requirements. Today, the Army FAO program consists of about 1,000 officers, 850 of whom are actively working around the globe in various positions to include Combatant Commands, Army Service Component Commands, the Joint Staff, the Army Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, almost every embassy in the world, the Department of State, various other Department of Defense and Federal agencies, and the National Security Council.
"DoD is expanding the program because of the value of the FAO's 'total package:' professional military skills, regional expertise, language competency, and military-political awareness to support the warfighter and advance U.S. interests at home and abroad," said DLIFLC Commandant, Col. Sue Ann Sandusky, a Sub-Saharan Africa FAO who spent 10 years working in U.S. Embassies in the region.
Col. Michael Curci, division chief for the FAO proponent office at the Pentagon, was a guest speaker at the conference. Curci opened his remarks with a message from the Army leadership. "Gen. (George) Casey is a strong advocate of the Foreign Area Officer Program," he said, referring to the Chief of Staff of the Army.
"Gen. Casey predicts that the need for Army FAO skills will grow exponentially as we progress to enhance regional stability and provide security assistance in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world," Curci said. "The Chief was very clear about our mission. Our primary mission is to support the warfighter, in both the strategic and operational context. In order to be successful, we must train long and hard to be able to operate simultaneously on multiple levels with high levels of competence," he said.
Curci reminded the conference attendees that individual Soldier skills, knowledge, and attributes make the difference on the battlefield, not inanimate objects. "Indeed, training is the bedrock of our success; I cannot overemphasize the importance of what you are doing here at DLI and in your other blocks of training," said Curci.
As a result of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, new strides have been made toward rebalancing the Army in order to reduce the strain felt by Soldiers faced with frequent deployments. Along with this change, Curci says the Army is looking for new ways to bring up accessions numbers for FAOs.
"We have not met the needs for accessions to sustain the demand (for FAOs)," said Curci. "The resulting shortfall in FAOs requires the FAO proponent to look for efficiencies in accessions, training, and billets to meet and sustain present and future needs," he explained. "The number of FAOs currently entering the force each year has fallen below our desired numbers necessary to meet and sustain the demand."
To achieve this goal, Curci said the Army is looking to bring officers into the program who already have a masters degree in appropriate disciplines, fluently speak a foreign language and understand the culture and customs of a particular region.
"Accessing the right officers into the FAO program helps reduce the training pipeline without compromising our core competencies," said Curci.
Another option to reduce the training time is combining language and In-Country-Training (ICT) where feasible.
"This type of training will obviously not be available for every country, and it certainly won't be the answer for every officer, but we are looking at the possibilities," said Curci.
Speaking to an audience of young officers, nearly all of whom have served multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Curci said, "It is important to remain relevant to the Army and to our customers. By providing a political/ military perspective with regional and cultural understanding, FAOs have become imperative in today's operating environment."
Guest speakers at the FAOC were Ambassador Edward Peck and retired U.S. Army Brigadier General John Adams, a former European FAO.

"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.

Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
A continuation of our series featuring our new and revised "Common Questions" pages
Many voices in the origins debate have strong opinions about whether their views on science and the Bible are "concordist", yet there is little agreement about what the word actually means.
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
A very important way of avoiding a myopic understanding of our own theories and conclusions is to examine how our forebears in the faith understood things.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
From 2012: The entire BioLogos community would like to thank Dr. Keathley not only for his work in writing his introductory essay, but for his willingness to organize a small collection of essays by other Southern Baptist scholars describing their concerns about the BioLogos perspective. We welcome this opportunity to clarify our positions and remove stumbling blocks where possible.

Turmeric Curcuma longa - a bright yellow spice from the dried, ground root of a South Asian plant related to the ginger family. It is widely used in Indian, South Asian, and Middle Eastern cooking. In medieval Europe it was often known as 'Indian saffron' because it was widely substituted for expensive saffron. It has a mild peppery, bitter flavor, and mild fragrance that is slightly reminiscent of ginger. It is most frequently used in making curries and Indian dhal. It gives yellow mustard its bold color. It is used in egg salad, rice dishes, curries, and lentils, and is especially nice in salad dressing imparting a bright yellow/orange. It combines well with cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. It is used in making curry powder blends along with cinnamon, coriander, cloves, chilies, cumin, pepper, fenugreek, and other spices. Organically grown in India.

There are far better products out there Written By NoCo, Boston, MA on Friday, January 03, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value It's pretty good, but it has absolutely no right to be so expensive. Right out of the box, on its own, it's just a car stereo with a touchscreen display. To make the most of it, you have to buy the bluetooth module, the satellite radio module, the ipod connector, and the GPS controller. Altogether that makes this way over a thousand dollars. On top of that, it requires an ENORMOUS amount of space behind the dash if you're going to be jamming all of the accessories in there. Save your money. Buying something more expensive with more features would actually save you the money required to get the most out of this one. Pros: Sounds very good. Touchscreen ipod controls are great. Touchscreen is very responsive in general. Cons: Randomly forgets the position it's supposed to be set to. Build quality isn't great - sometimes it induces some strange interference or doesn't start for no reason. Accessories are extremely expensive. Kind of useless without the accessories.
Kenwood KVT-516 Written By Eric, Burnsville, MN on Thursday, October 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I've only had this in my car for a little over a year and I am already looking for something else. The interface is awkward - not intuitive. The slide out screen is goofy and vibrates all over with bumps in the road. It also randomly switches between Sirius and FM for no apparent reason. Pros: Enables you to add new technology to an older car. Cons: Slide out screen, factory speakers don't sound good with it, interface is not intuitive, randomly switches input source.
KVT-516 Rocks! Written By Mick V., Clarksville, TN on Sunday, October 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This clearance Kenwood KVT-516 was a great bargain! It has amazing video and sound quality for the price paid. I would definitely buy bargains from Crutchfield again! Pros: Price & Quality! Cons: Only holds one DVD! Wish it held more! Still great though!
Decent but old.. Written By Fred, Bourbon, IN on Sunday, June 23, 2013 Purchased this so I could play dvds for the kids on long trips. Wish I didn't.... And I can say that I "was" a kenwood fan, this deck ruined that. Pros: Easy to install if you know what your doing. Easy to setup and use All the inputs/outputs anyone would ever need Cons: Instruction manual is so complicated it has instructions on how to read it... ? Install manual is not complete, if you don't know what a wire is, DONT hook it up Ugly interface, screen open or closed it looks like its a 50$ piece of junk from the early 90s Almost no iphone compatibility, works ok with ipod. Too many more to list here.
Kvt-516 in 1996 F250HD Written By Cushxr, Brighton, mi on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Nice but very expensive & becoming dated. Pros: Controls and plays music & movies from my iphone 4. Displays iTunes album art. Flexible audio adjustments. Appears well built. Crutchfield install accesories make for very nice installation. Good audio fidelity. Multi zone control. Cons: Clunky iphone interface. Uses iphone analog out instead of digital stream. No iphone 5 cable. Requires special hard to find iphone 4 cable (not simple usb cable). Too expensive considering that bluetooth & HD radio, are expensive add ons. No built in crossover for component speakers. No front usb port. No front display when closed. Much wasted screen space & clunky looking touch graphics. IPhon album art is tiny on screen.
Kenwood KVT-516 Written By KIPP527, MANCHESTER, MO on Saturday, December 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value GREAT STEREO
Info on it was ambiguous, little disappointed... Written By Matt, Seattle, WA 98103 on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Overall a nice receiver with a ton of options.. Pros: A million options Cons: Says iPhone support... But after getting it installed, found out it doesn't really support the iPhone 4 and 4s. Nor do I hear of any plans to. Considering how popular these phones are, and the unit is still be sold new in many places (with no successor model), it really is a shame.. No app streaming video will show on the display. YouTube, etc. only stuff in itunes on the phone... Also, the menu system is pretty hard to get used to.. Not very intuitive.
My second kenwood DVD receiver Written By WAN, Raleigh,NC on Thursday, April 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" rating Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Well i have only had the receiver hooked up in my car for two days so far. I definitely do not like the fact that i am not able to view dvds while driving. That's one of the main reasons i bought this unit. If you just start testing out some of the icons on the screen it is fairly easy to navigate and i do enjoy the different screen angles which should fit just about anyone's preference. I guess i need to read the manual that i printed out since it wasn't included(refurbished item) to figure out how to set the radio stations. Only one complaint with the unit and that is that when closed i wish there was at least a little small display that indicated the time. Pros: big screen easy of navigation through different features motorized screen kenwood brand! Cons: dvd "park" feature to view dvds no clock when screen closed.
Finally, Expectations Exceeded! Written By Mark, Sellersville, PA on Sunday, April 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 1.) Excellent customer service - replaced a Clarion NZ500 that was cutting out the R channel among other things - Crutchfield gave me full credit honoring the 1 year warranty and I had this unit for 1 year almost to the day. 2.) Not going to waste time or words bashing the Clarion - however, Crutchfield does not carry the NZ 500, nor its newer version the NZ501 - so you decide...it was nice in concept, BT and NAV built in, Ipod Sirius ready, etc. ok sound 3.) The KVT-516 now let's me hear what I've been missing! The head unit has more power than the Clarion (installed in a 2006 Jeep Liberty with the Infinity sound system, so i did not add an amp as this system has amps integrated in the front speakers). The power is clean & the equalizer options are plentiful and have allowed me to customize the sound to my ear. 4.) I was able to utilize the Sirius tuner and Axxess steering wheel controls I had from the Clarion installation 5.) I had to add the separate modules to gain back NAV and BT (KCA-BT300 and KNA-G610) 6.) Ipod cable (KCA-IP302) and HU interface works smoothly with my Ipod Nanos (2 gen and 4th gen) 7.) I can finally see this LCD screen even in direct sunlight - a major issue with the Clarion 8.) can set LCD screen angle & how far out it deploys from the dash - nice to be able to adjust this to fit the contour of the dash & viewing angle 9.) best feature - automatically open when the car is turned on & automatically close when the car is turned off Pros: HU power, NAV and BT modules work flawlessly. Sirius tuner and Axxess SWC work seamlessly. Ipod interface is top-notch. Auto turn on and off, seeing the screen in bright daylight and direct sunlight. Crutchfield Tech support - as usual - top notch - when I had wiring harness questions. They make it easy! Cons: Total expense with add-on modules (shop around for best price on these). Also, be aware that with these modules, the Sirius tuner, the Axxess SWC - you need lots of room behind the dash to mount these - panel below jeep steering wheel worked great for this for me - so plan your install before you begin wiring.
Kenwood KVT-516 Written By kmwa, warsaw,in on Thursday, August 11, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) at this time a really nice piece of equipment,great sound and for being refurbished you can not tell.the features are awesome,yes i would buy this again from crutchfield,it comes with the harness and all the accesories.A++++++++++
Spectacular HU Written By Chappy, Brownsburg, IN on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just installed this unit in my wife's `06 Jeep Liberty last weekend and, wow. This thing is incredibly impressive. The touchscreen is very responsive, the menus move quickly, and the ability to expand with nav, sat radio, steering wheel controls, etc. makes this head unit worth every penny. Couldn't be happier.

PowerUp Toothbrush heads
This Philips Sonicare PowerUp toothbrush head is specifically designed for use with PowerUp Battery tooth brush only. Best for those accustomed to the manual toothbrush experience but seeking superior performance.Designed to optimize performance
A manual feel with powerful results
This Philips Sonicare toothbrush head features a larger brush head for better teeth coverage along with criss-cross bristles on the side for gentle and effective cleaning along the gum line.Engineered to maximize sonic motion
Philips Sonicare brush heads are vital to our core technology of high-frequency, high-amplitude brush movements performing over 15,000 brush strokes per minute. Our unparalleled sonic technology fully extends the power from the handle all the way to the tip of the brush head. This sonic motion creates a dynamic fluid action that drives fluid deep between teeth and along the gum line for superior, yet gentle, cleaning every time.Reminder bristles ensure your most effective clean
At first glance it may not be obvious, but brush heads lose stiffness and gradually wear down over months of normal use. Our blue reminder bristles fade to white and help you recognize when it's time for a replacement. For optimal results, replace your brush head every three months.Proven to improve oral health
Part of a better oral healthcare routine
Like all authentic Philips Sonicare branded brush heads, this brush head is safe on teeth and gums. Each brush head has been quality tested for exceptional performance and durability.A brush head that fits multiple handles

Whoever he is I would like to buy him a beer and have a slice with him. I owe him that much.
He is Peter Reinhart?
Didn't want to say anything...but....
Pete, I have a question for you. I see you cloning this and that and helping people formulate doughs, so, what is your favorite style of pizza and what is your recipe for your own dough? Pick your go-to pie, the one you would use to most impress.

received the ring yesterday shipping is fast, my husband fell in love with it, the diamonds sparkle, the only issue is that he wore the ring last night and noticed a diamond missing this morning. The product is sold out so we are waiting to see if the warehouse is able to repair, so we are in limbo for now. I really hope that they are able to repair or replace prior to our 5th wedding anniversary since that was his gift.
The ring looks really cool... Once we received it, we found that it is super light and cheap feeling. From the pics online it looks like a cool masculine ring but I would say it's more on the smaller, femanine side. Two of the diamonds were loose and wiggly when we received it in the mail. The inside of the ring isn't smooth like the pics show, it is actually kind of hallowed out and doesn't look finished. To me it looks fake. The warranty doesn't cover any lost stones so I wouldn't recommend buying this unless you want to be spending your own money to have it fixed all the time. The stones aren't even set in prongs, they are just pressure set. If you have a guy who works with their hands alot, I know this won't last long at all. I really like the way it looks but would not recomend buying it from here. Go somewhere that offers to back up their work.
When the ring came, I was skeptical on how a black diamond would look but after looking at it, I really liked it. The white gold compliments the black diamonds perfectly. Very excited now on recieving and wearing this ring on our special day.
I love the ring buy I was looking for a much bugger ring for a man but, it is a band and it is nice.
Looks beautiful in person... def better than the picture. Very nice quality too!
I just received this wring from my fiance. Unfortunately I can't wear it yet, but I am really impressed with the style and the quality of the ring. The black diamonds give off a really cool, unique kind of sparkle. The white gold gives it the perfect contrast. Looks better in person than online. I'm very pleased and will be proud to wear it.
I bought this ring for my boyfriend to match a watch and bracelet. It looks very elegant, even better then the picture, I was going to have it appraised to make sure of the value, but so happy with the look of it I feel it was a bargain.
You cannot beat this deal. A local jeweler was asking $1600 for a similar ring with less diamond weight, same gold karats (10K). Thanks Overstock!
