Reviews for Make-Ahead Spinach Manicotti
Average Rating
"Will try but looks scrumptious"
"This was very yummy and even meat eater husband liked too. I did change a couple of things. 3 jars of spaghetti sauce as alot and I didn't have that much. I used 1 jar and 2 regular cans of tomato sauce with added Italian spices and left out the water. Worked great."
"Love it! I pretty much follow the recipe,with a bit less sauce. One tip for filling manicotti shells. Fill a sturdy plastic storage type bag or freezer bag with cheese filling and cut a hole in one corner about dime size. Twist the open section to close. easy peasy!"
"Outstanding flavor and love to be able to make them ahead of time."
"We loved this manicotti. So easy to prepare too."
"As suggested, I used 700ml of sauce with the water added meat and mushrooms. Cooked covered for 50 minutes. Took foil off and brown lightly. Absolutely easy peasy and delicious!!! Will keep this recipe."
"Love the recipe. Very easy to prepare, and freezes well."
"This tasted great. Only problem was apparently too much sauce. The manicotti feel apart completely. All was completely swimming in sauce. Suggestions as to what I did wrong? I think to leave out the water would help, and maybe one of the sauce? ??? Not experienced with manicotti. We liked it regardless!"
"Made this for my daughter, her guy friend and myself. Hubby is on a fishing vacation. Saved this for when he wasn't home, since he doesn't care for spinach in anything except alone or creamed. Definitely gonna make this again! I only did a couple of things different. 1) I only used 1 jar of spaghetti sauce in the pan, with a second jar warmed up to ladle over if anyone wanted more sauce. 2) I didn't think about making this the day before, so I couldn't let it sit overnight. Rather, I let it sit in the frig for a couple of hours, and then left the foil on when I put it in the oven and baked for the full 50 min. Noodles were perfect! 3 )I used a vodka spaghetti sauce, since I really like that flavor spaghetti sauce. It was all perfect! Rounded it all out with garlic bread and a tossed salad. Kudos to the recipe creator!"
"I've made this recupe a few times now and I've always loved it, both for guests, for my family, and as a freezer meal. It is time-consuming but I can't imagine a manicotti recipe that's not. However, the fact that you leave the manicotti uncooked is so helpful, particularly in stuffing. I've used a lower fat ricotta cheese and generally tend to add more garlic powder and even a little feta if I'm in the mood. A little basic and oregano are delicious too."
"My family love this manicotti. I have made with and without meat. So easy and great to have done ahead."
"This is my favorite recipe to make when I have too many things to do and company coming next day."
"I was getting the recipe ready to give to a gal that attends my church and realized just how long I have been making this. This is a good, flavorful and tasty recipe, and because it's meatless it can save a bit on your food bill. I do cut back on the sauce by 1/4 to 1/2 of the amount. This is one recipe you never want to lose."
"Not very flavorful. I was hoping for a better flavor with the cheese, but this didn't have it, which was surprising."
"Been making this for years. I love that you make it in advance. I usually make 3 or 4 trays and yes, I do FREEZE them. I let them sit overnight in the fridge as in the directions, and whatever I don't put in the oven, goes right in to the freezer. I don't add the cheese on top of those. When taking out of the freezer, I counter-top thaw them, then sprinkle the cheese and bake."
"I was disappointed because I found the manicotti to be very bland."
"oops...didn't know I had to click the stars...this recipe is the best!!"
"I absolutely LOVE this recipe. It is great for potlucks and family dinners. I also sneak in extra veggies by grating a carrot and small zucchini squash!!! Family favorite for sure!"
"I liked this recipe enough, but 2 jars of sauce was waaaay too much..it overwhelmed the rest of the dish. I will try to make this again, but with half of the sauce recommended."
"Very simple to make. Love that you don't have to cook the noodles before you stuff them. Next time, I think I'll add some italian sausage into the sauce before I pour it over top the noodles."
"This recipe is very tasty, my entire family loves it."
"Has anyone tried freezing this after assembly?"

YUMMY, YUM, YUM!!! I remember when I was very young, my mom and dad used to wake me up early Saturday or Sunday morning to watch my younger brothers, so that they could go to Chinatown and pick up some dim Sum, pork hash and manapua for breakfast. I grew up eating these wonderful chinese foods.
Now we go and get them and bring it home for breakfast for the kids and grand children. We also try to mimick these recipes and they turn out pretty good!

Campus Landscape
This drawing depicts the College's landscapes. The map reveals a strong pattern consisting of a few simple elements that generate a memorable setting.
First, it is clearly evident that the College sits in the midst of a rolling, wooded tract. Forested areas shown by the
dark green
tree canopy envelop the campus to the east and west. A more sporadic (but not sparse) pattern of tree plantings highlights the core of the campus. An underlying tone of
lighter green
indicates the area that was labeled during the campus plan study for convenient reference as
The Lawns this is primarily the academic core precinct.
Two other types of landscape elements highlight the drawing. The first is the
bright green
, depicting the athletic fields and recreational courts, evidence of a strong athletic tradition and vital recreational program. The second landscape type is shown by the
color, indicating cemeteries, an unusual, but not rare, element within a College campus. The cemeteries are not, in fact, College-owned property; they are College Church and Union Seminary properties. Physically, however, they are an integral part of the visual experience of Hampden-Sydney.

Here's a look at the truly gorgeous mixed media kit:
I am in LOVE with everything about this kit...the wood embellishments are gorgeously handmade, and that ephemera sheet is my new favorite.
I created a sea-themed wall hanging with my kit:
After altering the white bag that the kit comes in, I decorated the front with a set of 6 ATC's.
I filled the inside of the bag with paper+photo groupings, and let the kids write favorite oceanside memories on the back of each one:
For my 2nd project, I created a series of ATC inside cellophane bags...that way I could add confetti & other fun little loose tidbits!
I'm telling you, the glitter paste in this kit is awesome...it has so many uses & I love how it takes color & builds for layering.
This month, I also had the chance to play with Frog Dog's scrapbooking add-on kit. It features gorgeous papers from Fabscraps, and some gorgeous chipboard, washi, and rhinestone trim. Plus three different art mediums to get messy with!
Here are my layouts:
To check out all the amazing DT projects, head to the Frog Dog blog HERE.
I'll hope you'll join me later in the month for more details & tutorials about the mixed media techniques I used on all these fun projects!

I am trying to find out if there are any descendents of Edward & Blanche WATERFALL still in the area of Cass. They were farmers at Gardner. Edward emigrated from the UK in 1891. I am descended from the same family group of WATERFALL in the UK, and would be pleased to communicate with any interested family in Cass.

ITworld.com –
Several companies are competing to provide you with DSL service. They provide the Internet connection, but the signal must be transmitted over normal telephone lines. That means the good old phone company must become involved.
In my experience, it seems that a DSL ISP's favorite words are "we won't support you." If you ask Earthlink for the password to access your DSL bridge, they won't support you. If you use a device other than the one provided by the ISP, they won't support you. If you run Windows 2000, they won't support you. One can only hope that attitude will improve as ISPs learn about the business.
My ISP is BellSouth Internet Services (formerly known as BellSouth.Net). My telephone company is BellSouth. One might conclude from this that getting DSL should be pretty easy. Not so fast!
According to the BellSouth FastAccess Website, I should have been able to get DSL service last May. When I ordered it, I was told I'd have it by June 13. I won't go into the blow-by-blow, but the service was finally activated on Oct. 4, and I received my "self install" kit on Oct. 6.
BellSouth figures that its customers are too simple-minded to install an Ethernet device, so the only "self install" options are a PCI card and a USB device. Slots are more precious than gold around here, so I elected to try the USB device.
The Alcatel Speed Touch USB is a cute little thing. It looks like an aquamarine manta ray with a long tail. The tail has a jack for the phone line and a USB plug at the end. Simple enough.
The software should have been easy to install, too. But here, the plot takes its first twist. BellSouth provides version 1.3 of NTS EnterNet 300. This software installs PPPoA (Point to Point Protocol over ATM) or PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet). The manual said to use PPPoA, so I tried that.
The first rude awakening was that version 1.3 doesn't support symmetrical multi- processing (SMP). At least the installation software was smart enough to tell me this before it loaded into the OS and killed the system. According to the NTS Website, version 1.4 is available, supports SMP, and improves support for Windows 2000. I downloaded the demo version. It's only $29.95 to register, which I wound up doing a few days later.
This version installed properly. I followed the instructions, installing the software before plugging in the USB device. Then I connected the USB adapter to the computer and plugged the DSL line into its tail. Guess what? It actually worked -- for about 20 minutes.
There are only two lights on the Speed Touch USB. One is labeled USB, the other ADSL. After 20 minutes, both lights went out. I tried switching over to PPPoE. No change.
A check of the manual and some research on the Web revealed that the USB port is limited to a half an amp of current. The Speed Touch USB is right at that limit. A warm boot failed to bring the USB port back to life. Only a cold boot -- either power or the reset button -- would. According to the documentation I found, this indicates that the USB is probably overloaded and shut down.
I was able to keep the USB device up for about three hours once -- by not touching my computer's keyboard or mouse, and letting Win2K function as the NAT for the rest of the computers. As soon as I moved the mouse, KABLAM! The USB turned off again.
Oct. 6 was a Friday, so naturally, all of this occurred on the weekend. I called BellSouth as soon as possible to switch to an Ethernet device. Despite the fact that I've already gotten one DSL device running, BellSouth insisted that only a professional installer can install the Ethernet variety. (What am I, chopped liver?) I agreed to pay the $150 for the installer to come out and install the DSL/Ethernet bridge.
Of course, when the installer showed up a few days later, he didn't want to touch the Windows 2000 machine. I directed him to one of the Windows 98 computers. He merrily installed Ethernet drivers on the single-CPU Windows 98 machine, attached the computer directly to the Alcatel Speed Touch home bridge, got it running, and left. I then shut down the software on the Windows 98 computer, disconnected the bridge from the computer's Ethernet card, and connected it to my Ethernet switch (swapping from a straight-through cable to a crossover cable). Since the EnterNet software was already installed on the Windows 2000 server, I fired it up, created a new connection, and configured the NAT. All the other computers now have access.
So far DSL service has been less than 100 percent reliable (we've had two four-hour outages already), but vendors are rolling out the service so rapidly that that's to be expected and, almost, forgiven.
Based on my experiences, I recommend:
- If your ISP allows you to do a self-install of an Ethernet-based bridge, go for it. (Earthlink/Mindspring does.)
- If your ISP offers a USB device, think twice about it.
- Get the service: be prepared for some outages, but enjoy the speed. As Tony the Tiger says, it's grrrrrrrrreat!

Lady Gaga's Angelic Tribute To Michael Jackson (PHOTOS)
On the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, Lady Gaga was seen strolling through the Heathrow airport donning an angelic, yet somewhat bride-to-be, tulle skirt and bra covered with a red blazer that had a hint of MJ to it. Coincidence? You be the judge.
Click through the gallery to Lady G tip her hat (figuratively, of course) to the music icon. And for more fantastical fashion check out our coverage at Fashion FAILs & FTWs.

Cheapskate: Fall's Shoe And Bag Trends For Less Than $120
As hard as it is to comprehend, it's time to start looking forward to fall. Contrary to what you might believe, a lot of online shopping sites have fall trends at really affordable prices right now. Let's take a look at the fall shoes and bags available, so you can get a head start.
Booties are big for another season, but look for softer styles in suede.
You can get two trends in one with an "exotic-skinned" purse in a classic shape.
Or go for a classic shaped purse in an unlikely color.
Pointy-toe shoes are back and so are Mary Janes.
If you prefer an almond toe, then keep things current with an embellished Mary Jane.
Speaking of embellishment, it's super huge this fall.
Go for embellishment in small doses.
A leather riding boot never goes out of style, but will look really classic with all the camel-colored clothes this fall.
You can't go wrong with a pair of animal-print stilettos.

The singer, whose role will include working with designers, app developers and content creators, said she is looking forward to becoming involved with a technology company.
"I'm fascinated by technology. I've always wanted to work directly with a technology company," Keys said. "I wanted to do something where I could grow professionally and personally."

Henry Covarrubias, a second-year doctoral student in the Department of Education at UC Santa Barbara's Gevirtz School, has received a Carlos J. Vallejo Research Fellowship for Latinos/as in Education. This program is sponsored by the Multicultural/Multiethnic Education (MME) special interest group of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). The Vallejo fellowship is Co-Directed by Caroline S. Turner (CSU, Sacramento) and Eugene Garcia (Arizona State University). The Vallejo Research Fellowship is designed for graduate students and newly minted doctoral degree holders (without a tenure track position) who are pursuing careers in the professoriate. The participants will have the opportunity to engage in a day-long seminar with leading Latino/a scholars in the field of education on Saturday, April 27 at the 2013 annual meeting of AERA in San Francisco. Covarrubias is one of 30 fellows selected from a pool of 137 candidates.
The applications for the fellowship were reviewed and ranked on the following criteria: 1) diversity of participants (gender, area of study); 2) exhibiting a sense of passion for the field; 3) indicating a need for mentorship; and 4) an essay which was focused specifically on the potential benefits of this fellowship. Dr. Carlos Vallejo, an associate professor of curriculum and instruction at Arizona State University, was an ardent advocate for social justice in education with a focus on applied research and praxis designed to enhance outcomes for historically underrepresented and underserved communities, particularly Latino/a populations. Dr. Vallejo was the impetus for the Multicultural/Multiethnic Education special interest group – the group's awards and fellowship program both bear his name.
Covarrubias earned his Masters of Education degree in Postsecondary Education and Student Affairs from the University of Southern California and Bachelor of Arts degrees in History and Chicana/o Studies from UCLA. His faculty advisors at the Gevirtz School are Drs. Judith Green and Richard Durán. His research interests focus on higher education and issues of equity and access for first-generation and underrepresented students. Moreover, he is also interested in the relationship of cross-cultural learning within global technology-enabled educational environments. Covarrubias is also currently a Graduate Fellow at the UCSB Center for Educational Research on Literacy & Inquiry in Networking Communities (LINC).

Bill Balboa, of the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, shows the mouth and teeth of a small shark. Other sea creatures - such as rays, alligator gar and redfish - were also on display. Children learned about the different creatures, asked questions and were invited to touch the animals at the end of the program. This was a great final program for our 2012 summer. Attendance at programs was high, children read books for prizes and all seemed to have a great time. Thanks to the Friends of the West U Library for providing funds for many of the programs and library decor.

Veterans Chris Albright and Clint Mathis also changed teams in trades as teams underwent renovations, some extensive and some minor, in four rounds of picks at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Albright, a native of Philadelphia, was traded by the Revs to New York after New England declined to pick up his option, and Mathis will go back to Los Angeles, one of several clubs on his MLS resume.
The first four picks -- Danny Mwanga (Union), Tony Tchani (New York), Ike Opara (San Jose), and Teal Bunbury (Kansas City) -- didn't surprise anybody, but the Union's aggressive moves did.
Philadelphia used its some of its liberal allowance of allocation money as an expansion team to get the No. 6 pick from FC Dallas, and used more cash plus a swap of allocation places to get Fred and the No. 7 pick from D.C., which brought goalie Troy Perkins back to MLS with the allocation it acquired.
FC Dallas kept its No. 5 pick to take midfielder Zach Lloyd (North Carolina), one of a midfield crop rated as very strong this year.
With three of the first seven picks Philadelphia went heavily for youth: Mwanga (18), midfielder Amobi Okugo (18) and forward Jack McInerney (17). Combined ages: 53.
"Rather than fill the roster late in the draft, we made the decision - especially with some personal knowledge of these guys - that these are very talented guys, so let's move up and get them early and build our roster," said assistant coach John Hackworth, the former U-17 national team coach. "I personally coached Amobi for two years and I always thought he was one of the brightest talents we had coming through our national team programs. He is a very talented individual and I have no questions about his mentality adjusting to the professional game. I've watched Jack over the last few years and with the 17s, and he's one of the best attacking players at his position at his age that we've seen in a long time."
The Union also took rugged midfielder Toni Stahl (UConn) with the first pick of the second round, during which two well-regarded forwards - Andrew Wiedeman (California) and Andre Akpan (Harvard) - were taken by FC Dallas and Colorado, respectively. The Rapids, which didn't have a first-round pick, chose Virginia midfielder Ross LaBauex with the No. 23 overall pick.
New York began its rebuilding under Swedish coach Hans Backe in midfield by taking Tchani, the draft's top-rated player at his position, at No. 2 and midfielder Austin da Luz at No. 14.
"Tony was the best player available, said Red Bull assistant coach Richie Williams, who headed the scouting of players while the team underwent the search that eventually yielded Backe. "For sure, the best player in the Combine: 6-foot-4, two-way midfielder, box-to-box, very good skill, good touch, good passer, big, physical, good kid. I followed him a lot and we think he's going to be very good."
Da Luz, one of several talented playmakers in this year's draft crop, is one of four Demon Deacons taken in the first round. He played at Wake Forest, where his father Tony, is the women's coach.
"He's the one who got me interested in the game and kept me involved all my life," said da Luz. "He's always been in my corner both as a coach and a parent, and that's been invaluable. He knows when to be a dad and when to be a coach, so he knows when he has to give me a kick in the butt and some criticism, he does it."
Albright, who had reportedly requested a trade to Philadelphia, played just one game while battling a severe hamstring injury last season and requested a trade when his option wasn't picked up.
New York gave up its later second-round (No. 31) and third-round (No. 48) picks to get Albright.
"If he can get back his fitness and get back to the level that he's been playing, he's one of the best right backs in the league," says Williams. "He's won championships and has experience with the national team, and we think he can help us. For us, there's no way to go but up."
New York, despite trading those two picks, came away with five players. Irving Garcia, a 5-foot-5 midfielder from UC Irvine, also came in for praise from Williams.
"He's a good player, too, and he's little guy, so I have to mention the little guys," said the former D.C. United, MetroStar and national team defensive midfielder.
Four Demon Deacons - Tchani, Zack Schilawski (Revs), Corben Bone (Fire) and da Luz - were taken in the first 14 slots.
Akron, which contributed the No. 1 pick last year when expansion Seattle took Steve Zakuani, supplied Bunbury and No. 10 pick Blair Gavin (Chivas USA) to the first round.
UCLA contributed three in the first round: Okugo at No. 6, David Estrada (Seattle) at No. 11 and No. 16 Michael Stephens (Galaxy). Another Bruin, former U.S. U-20 midfielder Kyle Nakazawa, dropped all the way down to the third round when the Union took him at No. 33 overall.
New York's pick in the second round, No. 18 overall, was used on defender Tim Ream. During the draft, rumors circulated that the Red Bulls were discussing a trade with Kansas City for defender Jimmy Conrad. In the second round, the Wizards selected Olukorede Aiyegbusi, but the draft unfolded without confirmation of any trade.
Columbus took highly-rated U-20 midfielder Dilly Duka with the No. 8 pick, then went for massive (6-foot-1, 223 pounds) forward Bright Dike at No. 12, higher than most teams had projected the Notre Dame senior would go.
"I think the first four picks went about the way that everybody expected," said Crew assistant coach Brian Bliss. "When Philadelphia moved up and took those young players, that helped us, and we were pretty sure at that point that guy we were isolating was the guy we were going to get, and that was Duka. We didn't think McInerney would go that high; we like him, we just didn't think he'd go that high. That opened it up.
"I saw Duka with the 20s and I talked with some of his coaches with the national team, they gave good remarks and we thought had some good moments at the Combine to back up those remarks. He can play a little bit in the middle, based on his national-team success, but in MLS against guys who are bigger, I think he's better suited as a wide guy, maybe on the left and coming in on his right [foot]. Robbie [Rogers] could be gone with the national team a lot so that might open up some opportunities. We like his quick feet in the offensive end of the field. We didn't get him to defend.
"Dike we thought was the second- or third-rated forward in the Combine, and we've seen a lot of Notre Dame, too, so we're more familiar with the kid and what he's done over his career. We kind of like his physicality. We think he could stand to lose a few pounds, but we'll get that off him once we get him into camp."
Dike's selection brought the total of forwards taken to five, and at least two of those had been on the Galaxy's radar screen. During the first round, Los Angeles talked trade with Real Salt Lake; the MLS Cup 2009 finalists switched the 15th and 16th places in a deal that sent Mathis back to Los Angeles, one of several teams listed on his MLS resume.
"Clint expressed a desire about coming back to LA -- his wife's family is from Orange County -- and credit to Real Salt Lake for taking that into consideration," said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, who coached Mathis with the U.S. national team. "We all could see that Clint has some soccer left in him, and he's a very talented player. I think he can play another two years in the league. He's a still a very good attacking player, creative and still capable of scoring goals. He would be in a less-demanding role but he can give depth to our roster. Clint's a champion now. There are no knocks on Clint. All the knocks are on the Galaxy. We haven't won anything and Clint did. That's a big positive."
Both MLS Cup finalists went for midfielders at the end of the first round. Collen Warner of Portland went to RSL; Los Angeles took a local product, Michael Stephens from UCLA.
"Clint is a second forward and can play anywhere in the midfield," said Arena. "We maybe made ourselves a little bit deeper and won't have to force Landon Donovan play a bunch of different positions depending on where we need him. Hopefully, we can give him a more consistent responsibility on the field."
Arena summed the draft both for his team and overall when he said, "On paper it looks good, but you don't win games on paper. I think we feel pretty good where our team looks in terms of ability and experience on the field. We need some guys to play better and produce better and be coached better. We could finish anywhere from first to 16th this year, and that's the motto for every team in MLS. It's almost like the NFL. The Super Bowl champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, didn't make the playoffs this year, and we almost follow the NFL model. We're a league of parity."
The Union led all teams with six selections. Coming next with five apiece were Chicago, Chivas USA, Columbus, FC Dallas, Kansas City, New England, New York, and San Jose. Making four selections apiece were Colorado and Real Salt Lake; Seattle and Houston made three selections each, Toronto FC - which had three first-round picks last year -- - made just two selections, and D.C. United's only selection - after it traded the No. 7 slot to Philadelphia - was Jordan Graye of North Carolina.

2.5L 50s Edition 2dr Convertible
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Reviews
2013 Beetle New Car Test Drive
The Volkswagen Beetle was completely redesigned for 2012. For 2013, Beetle convertible joins the lineup.
As with the coupe, the 2013 Beetle convertible is longer, lower and wider than the New Beetle, which is what we called the old one that was phased out after the 2010 model year. Today's Beetle has a roomier interior than did the pre-2012 models, with more headroom, legroom and shoulder room. It feels like a capsule inside than it did before.
Front legroom is plentiful, but the Beetle coupe's rear seat has just 31.4 inches of legroom, which is 1.9 inches less than the subcompact Toyota Yaris, on a wheelbase that's 1.1 inches longer. Still, two adult passengers will fit back there; they just sit rather upright.
The rear hatch area of the Beetle coupe is spacious at 15.4 cubic feet. With the rear seat folded, the coupe has nearly 30 cubic feet of cargo space, and the high-swinging hatchback enables giant things to fit inside, making the coupe handy for hauling. The Beetle convertible has a trunk with only 7.1 cubic feet of space.
The Beetle seats and trim are neat but not fancy. The bucket seats are simple and comfortable, with excellent bolstering.
Instrumentation is so clean it's memorable for its rarity. In the center of the big clear speedometer there's a multi-function digital display, accessed with a flick of the driver's right thumb, scrolling a small wheel on the steering wheel. All of the trip computer information you need to know is right there, almost automatically without thinking or searching for it. It makes for safe driving.
The 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine, with an iron block and dual overhead cams, carries on, delivering 170 horsepower. Torque is 177 pound-feet at 4250 rpm. Acceleration with the 2.5-liter engine is adequate, and 75 mph on the freeway is smooth and mostly effortless.
A 5-speed manual gearbox is standard, with a 6-speed automatic transmission optional. The automatic did not wow us. The automatic has manual shift capability, but it's done with side-to-side movements using the lever. It's better than nothing, but it's not racy. The manual gearbox is satisfying and gives the car pep when accelerating. We recommend the manual.
A 2.0-liter Turbo model is also available that comes with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automated manual that VW calls a DSG for Direct Shift Gearbox. The Turbo also has sportier suspension tuning. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine makes 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque at a low 1700 rpm, and it gets about the same fuel mileage as the 2.5-liter engine although on more expensive Premium gasoline. It's hot, with acceleration not far behind a Mini Cooper S.
Also available is the turbocharged TDI Clean Diesel engine, which delivers jaw-dropping torque and fuel mileage on the far side of 40 mpg (EPA Hwy). The 2.0-liter turbodiesel delivers 236 pound-feet of torque. Torque is that powerful force you feel propelling you from intersections and the diesel has a lot of it. The TDI engine has been used successfully for some time in the Golf and Jetta models and is well-proven. It's clean and runs quietly.
Coupe or convertible, the Beetle chassis is rigid and the body solid, with subframes front and rear, supporting the suspensions. VW did a lot of work to make the convertible impressively rigid.
The base coupe uses a torsion beam rear suspension, but the Beetle Turbo and all convertibles use a more sophisticated multi-link, for a higher threshold of cornering. The freeway ride in the base coupe doesn't suffer for the torsion beam. It's comfortable and consistent. Potholes don't hurt, but rough pavement can make the rear end of the coupe want to dance. The other models are more composed over rough pavement.
The 2013 Beetle model lineup includes 2.5L, Turbo and TDI models in coupe and convertible body styles with additional models defined by extra equipment. Special edition 1950s, '60s and '70s models are also available in the convertible lineup. The base engine is a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter 5-cylinder. Turbos get a 200-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. TDIs are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine that makes 140 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque.
The Beetle 2.5L coupe ($19,795) comes with V-Tex leatherette (vinyl) upholstery, air conditioning, tilt/telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, height-adjustable front seats with driver's side lumbar adjustment, heated front seats, split folding rear seat, heated power mirrors, power windows, power locks, remote keyless entry, AM/FM/CD/MP3 player, auxiliary input jack, iPod interface, Bluetooth cell phone link, theft-deterrent system, and P215/55HR17 tires on alloy wheels. The Beetle 2.5L convertible ($24,995) adds an interior air filter, satellite radio, trip computer, outside-temperature indicator, rear spoiler, and a power convertible top.
The Beetle coupe is offered with three additional 2.5L models. They start with the 2.5L Sunroof ($22,295), which adds a sunroof, a center console, keyless access and starting, satellite radio, and steering wheel audio controls. The 2.5L Fender Edition ($24,440) gets the Sunroof equipment, plus a Fender sound system, bi-xenon headlights, and P235/45R18 tires. The 2.5L Sunroof/Sound/Navigation ($24,095) gets the Fender equipment, plus a navigation system, though it deletes the bi-xenon headlights.
The Beetle convertible comes with four additional 2.5L models, including two special editions based on cars from the past. The '50s Edition ($26,095) comes with tan leather upholstery, a center console, black paint, and unique alloy wheels inspired by steel wheels from the 1950s. The 2.5L Technology model ($26,695) adds a center console, keyless access and starting, satellite and HD radio, and steering wheel audio controls. The 2.5L Sound/Navigation ($28,495) gets that equipment, plus a navigation system, the Fender sound system and P235/45R18 tires. The '70s Edition model ($28,595) comes with the Sound/Navigation equipment, plus Toffee Brown paint, tan upholstery, and chrome disc-style wheels.
The Turbo coupe ($23,395) and convertible ($27,795) add to the 2.5L model fog lights, sport-tuned suspension, and P235/45HR18 tires. The coupe also gets cloth upholstery, a center console, and a rear spoiler. The Turbo coupe is offered in Sunroof/Sound, Fender Edition and Sunroof/Sound/Navigation models that mirror the equipment on similar 2.5L models. The Turbo convertible also gets a '60s Edition model ($32,395) with the navigation system, leather upholstery, 6-speed automated-manual transmission, center console, keyless access and starting, Fender sound system, satellite and HD radio, and steering-wheel audio controls.
The TDI coupe ($23,295) and convertible ($27,895) add to the 2.5L steering-wheel audio controls, center console, keyless access and starting, and satellite radio. The convertible also gets HD radio. Like the other models, the TDI is offered with additional equipment. The coupe comes as the TDI Sunroof and TDI Sunroof/Sound/Navigation models, while the convertible adds only the TDI Sound/Navigation model.
Safety equipment on the coupe includes dual front airbags, front side airbags, antilock disc brakes, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, a tire-pressure monitor, and Volkswagen's advanced Intelligent Crash Response System that shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and switches on the hazard lights under some crash situations. The convertible also adds automatic pop-up roll bars. Rearview camera is optional.

This was my second purchase from DrillSpot and I am completely satisfied with my overall experience.
Drillspot had the best price I could find. They shipped very quickly. The item was well packaged. I could not have been more satisfied.
Cheapest price I could find, and fast, free, damage-free shipping too. The item I ordered arrived in perfect shape, just two days after placing my order. The price was about 40% less than the MSRP or highest price at other places online or nearby. Who could ask for more?
Drillspot provided the best price for this item on the net. Their delivery was ahead of schedule and the items arrived in perfect order. I would definitely use Drillspot again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally run company with competitive prices.
Have no hesitations on ordering from this seller. The fan was actually broken when I received it, not due to their fault, and the customer service was awesome!! Immediately refunded my money. No hassles. This is the kind of company I love to do business with. Thank you!!
Ordered a Weber Smoky Mountain Smoker on Monday and received it Friday in Ohio. Just wanted to say thanks on the great price and great delivery. Best price on this item anywhere.+ More Testimonials

Mar 28, 2007 08:14 AM|MAlex001|LINK
In my last project I was using VS 2005, SQL 2005 and a dataset.xsd to retrieve and execute sproc. It was very easy and clean.
Now I want to do the same but using MySql Server 5. Using the mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.14 I am able in Server Explorer of visual studio to establish the connection and see my database and tables. But if i try to drag a table in the dataset.xsd I get an error.
Error: 42000 MySql ODBC 3.51 Driver mysqld-5.0.37-community-nt-nt you have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that correspond to your MySql Server version for the right syntax to use near .......at line 1
Nothing is wrong with my database, I am using EMS Manager client and it is fine.
The next I tried is to install mysql-connector-net-5.0.6 with MySql Tool for Visual Studio (Visual Studio Plugin) to try to resolve the problem. Now in Server Explorer I can add a connection with MySql Database Data Source and data provider .Net FrameWork Data provider for Mysql .
But when i tried to drag a table to the dataset.xsd nothing happen . I can open the table, introduce data, create sproc..ect but I cannot use Dataset feature.
I know the database is ok becuase I have used Msql.Data.ddl to retrieve data in the traditional way and works.
Then?? Do you know if is possible to use Dataset with Mysql and how ???? I do not know what to do next, I have being searching the net and I cannot find a solution.
Thank you very much
Mar 28, 2007 09:58 AM|LSU.Net|LINK
If I understand your post, you are trying to "drag" a table from the Server Explorer in order to allow the wizard to create a DataTable and DataAdapter for you.
I don't think any of us can support this feature working or not working. You may need to go to the MYSQL forums.
Alternatively, you can manually create your tables and tableadapters by right clicking anywhere in the Dataset.xsd designer.
Hope this helps!
Mar 28, 2007 11:30 AM|MAlex001|LINK
Thank you. Finally I could manage to create dataAdapters and table adapter by hands using the connector/net plus the plugin.
I also managed to populate combobox and other controls. Good enough.
Though I need to find out why I cannot drag the table directly on the DataSet file. it should be possible to do that.

Dec 02, 2008 03:20 PM|Valerik|LINK
MAlex001, I would like to implement the same funtionality that you did - to connect to MySQL through DataSet.xsd.
I already have MySql.Data.dll in my bin folder - and I can programatically connect to MySQL. But when I try to connect through Dataset.xsd I stunble in very beginning, where I need to define connection to MySQL.
You example would very appreciated.
Oct 20, 2010 04:47 AM|anunet|LINK
hi Valerik,
Iim facing the same problem as u were ,i have a project writen in mssql and now i need2 convert all codes to use MYSQL and ive used xsd files (exp: Dataset.xsd )for all queries ..did u manage 2 find any solution.
Hope u can share it cz m really stuck .
Thanx in advance

The Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was this country's bloodiest conflict. More Americans served and died during those four years than in any other war this country has participated in. The Civil War had a particularly profound impact on this state, more New Yorkers served in the military during the War than from any other state and many communities never fully recovered from the experience. New Yorkers not only served in great numbers but many of them served with great distinction. The only woman who has won a Congressional Medal of Honor, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, was a New Yorker who earned her medal while treating wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Other New Yorkers, like Generals G.K. Warren and Daniel Butterfield, led their units with distinction and steadily rose through the command ranks.
In many ways, the Civil War changed the nation. For five million black Americans living in the South it ushered in a period of radical social change and a century and a half long struggle for the equality the War was supposed to guarantee. In the North, men and women from a variety of different backgrounds adopted a new sense of American identity, one that was shaped by the terrible conflict they had all endured to preserve "the Union."
For some individuals, like General G.K. Warren, the War would become the high point of their lives. For others, like General Daniel Butterfield, the War was a dramatic point in a life that was filled with other opportunities to serve.
General Daniel Butterfield
Butterfield was born in Utica on October 31, 1831. After graduating from Union College he went into business, working in a variety of fields that included telegraphing, stage-coach line management and steamship trade. When the Civil War broke out, Butterfield immediately enlisted. He was given a non-commissioned officers rank, but by virtue of his college education and limited participation in the New York militia he quickly attained the rank of colonel in the 12th New York Infantry regiment. Butterfield participated in almost every major battle on the Eastern front from the start of the War until Gettysburg. For his bravery in the Seven Days' Battle, during which he was wounded, Butterfield was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
While his valor on the battlefield was recognized by the soldiers under his command, Butterfield's longest lasting contribution may have been the bugle calls he wrote. At the time, bugle calls were important signals used to command and move units both on and off the battlefield. Butterfield's most famous bugle call is the melody, "Taps," which was originally composed in 1862. It was not long before armies in the North and the South began playing it for "lights out" and to bury their fallen comrades.

Go behind the scenes with Ryan Seacrest shortly before Tuesday's taping of American Idol's Top 13 performances, which airs tonight (8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central, Fox).
We won't take you behind the scenes for tonight's "Your Personal Idol" performances (though you can check out a spoiler list here), but I'll be live-blogging during the show. Give your thoughts on the singers, grade their performances in our polls, and see if you can figure out which words Paul McDonald had to change to get his song choice on the air.
By the way, the full-length studio versions of the songs the Idol finalists will be available on iTunes tonight (at 10 p.m. Pacific). But there's a new twist: For the first time, buyers will be able to purchase them not only individually but as a compilation album -- 13 tracks from a $7.99 price, well below iTunes' per-track price. And the producers working with the contestants are heavy hitters: Rock Mafia, Rodney Jerkins, Don Was, Jim Jonsin, Ron Fair and "Tricky" Stewart, among them.
Nashville-based Brian Mansfield began writing about music for USA TODAY in 1997 and took over Idol Chatter just before the start of Season 8. He co-authored Make Me a Star: Industry Insiders Reveal How to Make It in Music, and while he has never auditioned for American Idol, he did sing Boot Scootin' Boogie at Disney World's American Idol Experience the day the attraction opened (he lost).

* Canadian dollar at C$1.2640 or 79.11 U.S. cents * Bond prices higher across the maturity curve TORONTO, July 6 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar softened to its weakest level since mid-April against its U.S. counterpart on Monday, as a stronger greenback helped pushed oil prices down more than 3 percent following the Greek referendum, which saw more than 60 percent of voters say 'No' to conditions for a rescue package. The U.S. dollar firmed against a basket of key currencies, but overall currency market moves were subdued as market participants held off making snap judgments on what's next in the euro zone. The price of crude, a key Canadian export, was also hit by emergency measures out of China over the weekend meant to prevent a stock market crash that could threaten the world's second-largest economy. China stocks have plunged some 30 percent in the last three weeks in what was originally deemed a market "correction." * At 8:56 a.m. ET (1256 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.2640 to the greenback, or 79.11 U.S. cents, a sharp retreat from the Bank of Canada's official close of C$1.2560, or 79.62 U.S. cents, on Friday. * The currency's strongest level of the session was C$1.2551, while its weakest level was C$1.2646. * The Bank of Canada's second-quarter Business Outlook Survey is due at 10:30 a.m. This data set will be scrutinized by market participants and will help guide expectations on the central bank's monetary policy intentions. * Canadian Ivey PMI data for June is due at 10:00 a.m. EDT . * U.S. crude prices were down 4.23 percent to $54.52, while Brent crude lost 2.22 percent to $58.98. A strong U.S. dollar tends to pressure commodities as it makes them more expensive for holders of other currencies. * The Canadian dollar, which was lower against most of its key currency counterparts, is expected to trade between C$1.2590 and C$1.2660 against the U.S. dollar on Monday, according to National Bank Financial. * Canadian government bond prices were higher across the maturity curve, with the two-year price up 6 Canadian cents to yield 0.452 percent and the benchmark 10-year rising 46 Canadian cents to yield 1.65 percent. * The Canada-U.S. two-year bond spread was -14.5 basis points, while the 10-year spread was -64.9 basis points.

The product of this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors. This family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This receptor is coupled to the stimulation of the phosphoinositide and adenylyl cyclase pathways and behaves as a selective purinoceptor. Naturally occuring read-through transcripts, resulting from intergenic splicing between this gene and an immediately upstream gene (PPAN, encoding peter pan homolog), have been found. The PPAN-P2RY11 read-through mRNA is ubiquitously expressed and encodes a fusion protein that shares identity with each individual gene product.

Brighton Purses -Information when Shopping for Brighton Bags
Brighton Purses -Information when Shopping for Brighton Bags
The Brighton handbag was included with the line of fashionable components in 1993. Each Brighton bag experiences 20 steps during its design. Upon completion of the procedure a leather patch, printed with Brighton's statement of quality and an individual serial number is included. As you can easily see they do set their heart in-to every product they make. It's for this purpose the company is famous for its heart logo. Components for many of the purses are made internationally in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.
Brighton handbags are handcrafted in California. At no time is there a lot more than five being built at a time. Visit my driveway paving to discover why to acknowledge this concept. There is an attention to detail followed usually by Brighton builders that is an exception within this business. As an example there's no draw explaining that the 'marks' and 'scars' are your 'assurance' of real leather-they meticulously cut around the scars- to provide you, a perfect leather purse. Each purse is authorized by its owner, and is individually numbered. Once registered, they're fully guaranteed. Browse here at the link analysis to check up why to deal with it. The hardware all originally created by craftsmen and Brighton artists, and the leathers selected would be the best from all over the world, gold finished, and protected from oxidation for daily use.
The Brighton name is becoming to suggest one-of-a-kind jewelry and fine Italian leather articles that are decorated with lovely silver-plated decoration. Brighton's center logo suits the company philosophy the difference in products and services can be a true awareness of detail. Most of the objects in the Brighton series have some special aspect, an email engraved on a diamond or a Brighton purse with a favorite picture, that provides them special meaning to the master. This then leaves a lasting memory to cherish for a lifetime. It's also resulted in many women having their own Brighton variety.
Brighton handbags can be found in very nearly 6,000 specialty stores nation-wide and 50 all-Brighton stores from coast to coast. Brighton bags are not sold in shops or on the web. This is keeping with the plan to only do business with stores with first class customer service. This can be reinforced with a 2 year warranty against any manufacturer defects.
