Look at this guy!

This is Scott L. Schwartz. If you ever get into trouble, you'll want him on your side. This guy means business. And his business is playing big and bad. Big may come easy, because he's 6'10" and weighs about 300 pounds. I'm not sure how he pulls off the bad part though, because he actually seems to be very... Well, never mind. Just click on the banner and get ready for some action. www.ultimatebadguy.com This spring he's a henchman let loose on the big screen!!! Starsky & Hutch opened March 5, 2004

Once upon a time there was a man with a gentle voice and quiet charm. He made several movies and worked in a TV show playing a character who rode a motorcycle from town to town, touching lives, and singing a little here and there. Then some of us didn't hear much of him for awhile. We wondered if he would ever come to sing for us again.
Michael Parks is singing, and he recorded 17 songs for us to enjoy, including: I'll Never Be Free Basin Street Blues Don't Go To Strangers Easy Street This CD was a long time coming, but it was worth waiting for. Take a trip to Listen Recordings where you can order your copy.

Joan Garnand creates from her home in Tennessee. Her design styles range from simple elegance to whimsical fun. Joan does hand-painted stationery, uses spare moments at festivals to paint faces, and entertains children at private parties. Only a small sample of her work is illustrated online. Talk to her about what you're looking for!

Radishes were once thought to be everything from a remedy for kidney stones to a cure for baldness. Well, maybe not. But they take about a month to grow, are low in fat calories, and contain nutritional goodies such as Folate and Vitamin C. You may have eaten the little red ones raw, but did you know they are also great cooked? Cooking takes only 5-8 minutes. It will take some of the heat out of them and they'll lose their bright red coloring, but you can serve them with any good sauce for cooked vegetables. The tops can be cooked and served much like beet greens. Some people sprout the seeds and use them as a salad green or a lettuce replacement in sandwiches.
If you like a good story weave to your history readings, you'll enjoy the articles and book reviews at The Historical Fiction Review.		Looking for a deal on used sports equipment? You've probably been to ebay, but have you discovered Gearbay? They specialize in sports equipment auctions.
