There are roughly 4 million married couples in the United States between the ages of 20 and 35 who don't have children. Many of them want to have children – at some point. Unfortunately, there's a growing gap between the desire couples have for future children and how things actually turn out. While only 3 percent of couples reported in a World Values survey that they don't want children, the reality is that about 20 percent of couples end up childless.
For some of them, the gap between desire and reality exists because they don't know the limits of their fertility. Couples who marry after the average age of 27 sometimes try to spend a few years enjoying life without kids, yet when they finally decide to start a family, they're surprised to find they are already past the peak of their fertility. Many of these couples end up having to work a lot harder to have children than their parents or grandparents did. (Many of these couples – as well as many couples who aren't infertile – have discovered the redemptive possibilities of adoption).
Other couples must deal with this gap between desire and reality because starting a family has become a wedge issue in their marriage. Often, one spouse is more ready to have children than the other. Even couples that are on the same page about kids tend to worry how becoming parents will affect their marriage, so they decide to just wait a little longer.
In the meantime, a third of all pregnancies in marriage are unplanned. That means a lot of couples who weren't sure how they felt about kids are sent headlong into parenting without a lot of vision or preparation. These parents often end up like people who are "taught" to swim by being thrown into the water; fear and desperation can work wonders. But learning to swim that way is all about survival – there's little, if any, enjoyment. Not surprisingly, we see a lot more flailing among parents today and a lot less visionary parenting.
The purpose of these articles is to help couples become more intentional about their path to parenthood. Couples who arrive at a shared vision and a purposeful approach to starting a family are able to experience greater joy in their marriages and in their future roles as parents.
"Why have kids?" That's a question couples are increasingly prone to ask. If you were to ask your grandparents or great-grandparents why they had children, they would probably give you a baffled look and say, "That's just what married couples did." Today's couples, however, stop to ask, "Why?"
We don't just do things out of tradition or expectation. We don't just have kids because that's what's expected or because it's what our parents did. We are more likely to have kids as a statement, as a lifestyle choice. But the choice to have children now sits on a shelf in a growing supermarket of options, prompting couples to ask why that particular choice is better than any other.
Couples weighing the decision to start a family are increasingly surrounded by books, articles and Web sites spotlighting the costs and sacrifices ahead of them. Those messages encourage couples to think long and hard about the world they'd be bringing children into, and remind them to count all the costs before making such a monumental decision.
Caution and preparation are helpful, but sometimes it seems that's all couples can find on the topic of having kids these days. Churches, as well as some pro-family organizations, often have little to offer on this subject. Even friends with strong families and children of their own seem unable to articulate why young couples should pursue what they have.
Plenty of people have started their families without some sort of great vision. Increasingly, though, it takes vision for "why" to overcome the growing – and often compelling – arguments for "why not."
To that end, here are four positive reasons why when it comes to starting a family:
Babies require a great investment from parents. The expense of their care, as well as the opportunity costs resulting from lost income, can be daunting even for marriages in a strong financial position. Those costs can seem more overwhelming for couples struggling through an economic downturn. Starting a family requires couples to show good economic stewardship, but raising a child need not be out of reach even in tight times.
Unlike many of the depreciating assets people take on, babies are a source of wealth, delivering a return on investment that is beyond measure. No cost/benefit analysis can capture the true value of a new little person. Children are truly priceless.
One of the few welcome side effects of the economic crunch that hit in late 2008 was that people became more likely to look beyond their wallets in order to experience the truly good things in life. After getting the message for so long that children stand in the way of exotic vacations and a catalog house filled with cool gadgets, many couples discovered that it's those (often disappointing) pursuits that stand in the way of experiencing the joys of parenthood.
The Bible tells us that children are a blessing, but that message seems at odds with the headaches our culture insists children bring. Yet new life continues to offer the wonder and goodness that often eludes us. It gives us a chance to see the world through fresh eyes – restoring the magic and innocence that tend to fade with age. It teaches us more about the "life of love" that God calls us to as His "dearly loved children" (Ephesians 5:1-2). And it gives mere mortals an opportunity to touch the divine – to participate with God in making a new creation in His image.
Babies require great care – especially as they transition from toddlers to teenagers. Parenting is not for the faint of heart. It is grueling at many levels, and this can be intimidating for many couples who don't feel particularly mature. But it's when committing to the needs of a new life that couples are stretched into greater maturity. Children shape our souls like few other things in life, conditioning us to be more other-centered and to take a longer view of life. The demands of children that frighten so many would-be parents are in fact a crucible that can bring out the person God designed them to be.
Many couples reading today's headlines are convinced that this world is too unstable – how can you subject children to such a place? And you can hardly blame them. Trying to raise a child in our current culture can feel like trying to raise a flower in the crack of a New York City sidewalk. But while fear and anxiety are natural emotions for would-be parents, the choice to be fruitful is an enduring and courageous encounter with hope.
In his book The Mystery of Children, Mike Mason describes babies as "renewers, groundbreakers and world-shakers, bearers of new seed, heralds of a new age." Instead of letting the problems around us frighten us away from having children, we should recognize God's pattern of using new life to fix those problems, to bring renewal and fresh hope.
Most couples have some kind of timeline in mind for when it feels right to start their family. Maybe it's vague, maybe you haven't talked it through thoroughly enough to land on a precise target, but you likely have a sense of how much "child-free" time you'd like to have in your early marriage, what you think needs to happen first, and what conditions you think would be optimal before starting a family.
Conventional wisdom says timing is everything – that it's essential when preparing to welcome a child. It seems that more and more couples believe that if they get going too soon they'll get themselves and their babies off to a bad start. Admittedly, there are few things in life more daunting than launching a new life into the world.
Anyone who soberly reflects on the magnitude of the venture and of all the things that could go wrong can be motivated to think more cautiously about their timing. But for today's couples, the factors guiding timing have grown more complex. Couples have always worried about being able to provide for a new family – economic challenges, employment concerns and debt issues have always been considerations. Today couples are more likely to go into marriage with much greater consumer and educational debt than their parents did, leading many to put off having children.
Unfortunately, the intention to have children someday – at the best possible time – often gives way to what one woman called "a creeping non-choice."1 The passage of time can lead couples to choices that are far afield of what they planned.
Reflecting on the brevity of life, Moses prayed, "Teach us to number our days aright" (Psalm 90:12a, NIV). Couples can apply that prayer to their timeline for starting a family in the areas of their fertility and energy level.
Extended life spans and fertility technology give couples the sense that they have quite a bit of control over the timing of starting their family. Surveys, however, reveal a growing gap between desire and reality when it comes to having children. While only 2 percent of couples say they don't want children, 20 percent actually end up childless. And while just 3 percent of couples say one child would be enough for them, 16 percent find themselves limited to one.2 Even though couples today tend to marry later and need more time to finish their education and kick off their careers, the window of natural fertility remains fixed. Women today are often surprised to find that their fertility begins to decline when they're in their late 20s, accelerates its drop when they're in their mid-30s and plummets when they're in their 40s.
Assisted reproductive technology can extend this natural window of fertility to some degree, but not without a cost. In addition to the thousands of dollars assisted reproduction can cost, many worry about the unintended consequences it can create. "Assisted reproduction is like so many technologies," writes Liz Mundy in her book Everything Conceivable, "in that it makes certain situations possible that never were possible before and it suffers from unforeseen glitches; it sometimes delivers the desired outcome faster, and in greater number than a person can handle. It solves problems, and creates them."
A clear pattern in the Bible is that God opens and closes the womb. Regardless of age and technology, He is able to work out His sovereign will. It's our job to be good stewards of the fertility He gives us and then trust Him with the rest.
A couple's age also affects their ability to keep up with children. As life expectancy lengthens, it's easy to forget that age matters. It's tempting to enjoy as many adventures and experiences as we can during the same years that our parents and grandparents were already diapers-deep into the parenting enterprise. Unfortunately it's much easier to achieve a lifestyle of endless youth than it is to keep our bodies from aging. In her article "How About Having Babies Earlier?" columnist Pamela Bone wrote: "Adolescence may now linger through the 20s, and 50 may be the new 40, but biology tends not to take notice of cultural change."3
Regardless of our perceptions of our potential – and the steady stream of technological breakthroughs – our bodies stubbornly grow less conducive to conceiving, gestating and caring for babies the older we get. But it's not just the wind-down of our biological clocks that we must consider. We should also consider those other factors that tend to coincide with when we're most able to conceive: energy, physical stamina and flexibility, and the ability to recover quickly from illness and injury.
While couples that put off having children are more likely to have more money in their bank account, they're more likely to find themselves exhausted by parenting much quicker than younger parents are. This is also true for grandparents. Children need grandparents who can get down on the floor to play with them … and still be able to get back up.
Your timeline, your launch, is important. It is worthy of careful prayer, but not hypercare. Think about your timeline. Are you being overly cautious? Are you being realistic about your fertility and about the capacity you have in the years ahead of you?
Many couples would like to start their family, but worry they can't pull it off financially.
I remember when my wife and I first started thinking about having a baby, one of the first questions I asked was, "How can we afford this?" Our combined income was manageable, but we had a lot of education debt and my wife really wanted to stay home with our baby – which meant potentially cutting our budget in half.
In the midst of our anxiety about affording a child, however, a mentor couple said something we'll never forget: "budget for everything except children – children are wealth."
On its face, this sounded totally irresponsible. Budgets are good things and children can be expensive. But we've found wisdom in this countercultural idea that might be helpful to you.
First, it's reminded us over the years that the costs and financial sacrifices associated with children really are different from the other ways we spend our money. Few expenditures provide as much return on investment or have the same eternal value. Seeing children as wealth can help you rethink which things in your budget really are must-haves and which things are worth exchanging for the gift of new life.
Secondly, this phrase has helped us realize that as important as it is to count the costs, our checkbook shouldn't be the final word. God is the creator of new life and He's also the one who sustains that life by providing for us as we follow His call to be fruitful. As you objectively look at your expenses and income, don't rule out God's desire to bless you. We've traded stories with our friends over the years about raises, gifts and other unexpected provisions that followed after trusting God to provide for our new families.
For some couples, a dedicated period of fiscal stewardship can help them knock out debts and build up savings that make starting a family more affordable. But as couples get married later, they also have to be good stewards of their fertility and energy.
If God has given you the desire to start a family, you can trust that He's also able to multiply your efforts as good stewards of what He gives you – including the possible wealth of children.
Looking at your personal circumstances, you might see challenges that could make the next year a tough time to start a family. Psalm 139 reminds us, however, that God ordains the days for each person before any of them come to be. If God has ordained this year as the time for a new child to join your family, you can believe that He is also able to "meet all your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). Whatever your circumstances, you can trust the Creator of life to help you start a family.
Do you and your spouse have different beliefs about starting your family – about when to get started or whether to have children at all? Often wives are ready for a baby before their husbands, but sometimes it's the other way around. What do you do when you're not on the same page about starting a family?
What you don't want to do is nag and drag – to cajole your spouse and drag them into the parenting enterprise. You both need to be committed to the mission. A spouse who is dragged into it is more likely to shirk the responsibilities ahead – and to justify their passivity by saying, "Don't look at me, this was your idea."
Contemporary marriages are often battlegrounds where two individuals with strong opinions clash over whose preferences will win out. As Christians we are called to the challenging task of becoming one in marriage. If you are on different pages when it comes to having children, God wants you to pray for unity.
A spirit of oneness and unity is a distinct concern of Christ. It was one of the most pressing messages in His prayer for the disciples during the Last Supper: "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you" (John 17:20).
Oneness in marriage communicates even more about God. In the Genesis story of Creation, we read that when a man and woman are joined together they become "one flesh" (2:24). This concept from the first book of the Bible is reiterated in the last book of the Old Testament where the prophet Malachi writes: "Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth" (Malachi 2:15).
Because children symbolically represent the oneness of marriage, couples should be unified with regard to having them. But Paul's letter to the Ephesians takes it further: " 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' This is a profound mystery – but I am talking about Christ and the church" (Ephesians 5:31–32).
From the marriage of Adam and Eve in Genesis, to the marriage of Christ and the church in Revelation, the marital union is intended to model a selfless exchange of love for those who participate in it as well as for a watching world. How might God use the decision about children in your marriage to demonstrate oneness to you and those around you?
Two valuable steps you can take as you pray for oneness about children include fasting and spending time with mentor couples. Too often, our prayer life suffers from distractions. Fasting from a meal (or two or three) can help you focus with greater intensity on your prayers to God, giving you an opportunity to better seek His purposes and to trust the timing of His plans for your marriage. Additionally, mentor couples can support you in your prayers for oneness, while also sharing their stories about the challenges and joys of children and becoming one in marriage.
Starting and raising a family is certainly a soul-shaping, world-altering experience – but first it's a marriage-shaping and relationship-altering experience. No marriage is ever the same once children come into the picture.
"When a baby arrives, everything changes," says family researcher John Gottman. "Parents must adapt to the 24/7 care of a new, vulnerable infant – an enormous task. Not surprisingly, 40 to 70 percent of couples experience stress, profound conflict and drops in marital satisfaction during this time."
Children can bring significant challenges for couples who married with the hope of spending their lives enjoying a soulmate connection. "Most Americans today don't marry in order to have children," writes author and researcher Barbara Dafoe Whitehead. "They marry in order to have an enduring relationship of love, friendship and emotional intimacy." But therein lies the rub. Whitehead explains:
Achieving this new marital ideal takes high levels of time, attention and vigilance. Like new babies, contemporary marriages have to be nurtured and coddled in order to thrive. The problem is that once a real baby comes along, the time, the effort and energy that goes into nurturing the relationship goes into nurturing the infant. As a result, marriages can become less happy and satisfying during the child-rearing years.1
Contrary to popular thought, however, your marriage can survive and even thrive as you take on the mission of a family. In fact, having children has the potential to deepen and mature a marriage.
Marriage therapists today often seek to correct the myth that having a baby will make a couple happier. They point out correctly that infants can add tremendous new stress to a marriage and aren't a good prescription for turning a bad marriage into a good one. What couples don't hear enough, however, is that letting their love spill over into a new life can give them a fresh sense of purpose in their marriage. Parenting requires couples to adjust expectations about their sex life, their sleep patterns and their ability to embark on last minute dates, but the parenting mission can mature and sweeten a marriage over the years when a couple commits to do it "as unto the Lord."
"[T]here is no substitute for the contribution that the shared work of raising children makes to the singular friendship and love of husband and wife," write Leon and Amy Kass in their book Wing to Wing, Oar to Oar. They go on to explain the unique distinction of that shared work: "Precisely because of its central procreative mission, and even more, because children are yours for a lifetime, this is a friendship that cannot be had with any other person."
A very old book about marriage and family offers a vision for how couples can grow through the process of starting a family. The book Home-Making, written by J. R. Miller in the late 1800s, uses some language we don't hear much anymore, but provides a vision that is timeless:
It is a new marriage when the first-born enters the home. It draws the wedded lives together in a closeness they have never known before. It touches chords in their hearts that have lain silent until now. It calls out powers that have never been exercised before. Hitherto unsuspected beauties of character appear. The laughing heedless girl of a year ago is transformed into a thoughtful woman. The careless, unsettled youth leaps into manly strength and into fixedness of character when he looks into the face of his own child and takes it in his bosom.
Yes, having children will change your marriage, but you can trust that God designed your marriage to grow and deepen through that change. The marriage ceremony in older versions of the Book of Common Prayer explain that marriage was ordained for "mutual society, help, and comfort," but it also says that marriage was ordained "for the procreation of children." God didn't design those reasons for marriage to contradict each other. With His grace and wisdom, you can have both kids and a great marriage.

Jay and Nancy Gueldner couldn't have been happier when they discovered their first baby was on the way. Both in their 30s, with solid careers and a happy marriage, the Gueldners were confident they could handle their new roles as parents.
"We knew an infant was an enormous responsibility, and we knew it would be a huge life change," Nancy says. "But we had no idea that one little baby could be so all-consuming."
When Robby arrived, it didn't take long for the Gueldners to notice the effect on their marriage.
"I'm sure we neglected each other," Nancy remembers. "We used to have all the time in the world to spend together and nurture our relationship, and then suddenly, the baby was the first priority."
It's no secret that most moms and dads are blindsided by the magnitude of this transition. Indeed, even the most unflappable person can become unhinged following the baby's birth. But what many couples fail to realize is that stress, sleep depravation and emotional exhaustion can seriously damage a marriage.
Studies show that more than half of all married couples experience a decline in marital satisfaction following the birth of a baby. 1Furthermore, most couples report having eight times more conflict in their marriages after the baby joins the family. 2Trouble is, finding time to cultivate your relationship with your spouse – without your little one wailing in the background – isn't always easy.
"So many people told us to leave our son with someone so we could connect as a couple," Nancy says. "But we didn't have family nearby at the time, and we didn't feel comfortable hiring a babysitter we hardly knew."
If a weekend getaway or even a romantic dinner for two isn't realistic, there are other do-able ways keep your marriage on solid footing.
Communicate positively with one another. In spite of the emotional ups and downs common to new parents, make a habit of supporting and encouraging your spouse.
"Jay and I really tried to be kind to each other even when we didn't feel like it," says Nancy.
Scorekeeping, nitpicking and those niggling feelings of jealousy may be normal, but tearing one another down won't go unnoticed. Sharing emotions and coming up with appropriate solutions is a key component to a healthy marriage – now and in years to come.
Make it a priority to spend time together. Whether it's enjoying an evening walk, ordering carry-out after the baby has gone to bed or grabbing a few minutes to talk over breakfast, try to find ways to engage in conversation that work for both of you. It's easy to get hyperfocused on your baby's day-to-day care. Still, having fun together as a couple will create a loving foundation for the whole family.
Maintain an overall sense of team. On top of issues like who will earn what portion of the income and who will do the laundry when, ease the parenting transition by detailing role responsibilities. Nagging one another about who should load the dishwasher – all while the baby is screaming to be fed—will only result in increased irritability. Rather, compromise with one another, maintain flexibility and work through expectations. If each person helps out, then you can avoid resentment and establish a united front early on.
Understand that intimacy changes. It's common for a new mom to experience sadness and frustration at the ways pregnancy, childbirth and nursing have changed her body. Fatigue and sleeplessness further complicate the physical aspect of many marriages. With less time and energy for sexual closeness, it's crucial for husbands and wives to discuss new approaches to intimacy. As unromantic as it may sound, sex can be thoughtfully planned into your schedule. And don't despair: you can rediscover that pre-baby passion.
Remember: Parenting your infant won't last forever. Surely most moms and dads with little ones have heard the well-intentioned advice, "They'll be grown and out of the house before you know it!"
While this may be true, it may not feel like it during those first few years. Nevertheless, you and your spouse will be with one another long after the kids are grown. So in the midst of 2 a.m. feedings and emergency visits to the pediatrician, keep in mind that this is only one stage in your long life together.

The 42-year-old, a 16-year veteran of the department, said she applied for the supervisor position last year because it was a good career move after working several years on patrol.
"I love, love, love patrol, but I couldn't pass this opportunity," she said. "I have the opportunity to supervise a lot of units and learn a lot of things," she said. "Deal with a variety of situations."
As sergeant, Ysit is also the first female to hold such a rank in the traffic unit. She is responsible for overseeing a team of about 10 officers from the School Resource and Neighborhood Resource units and Volunteers in Police Service.
"I understand I'm unique, but I spent my whole career making sure my successes had nothing to do with my gender," she said. "I'm unique, but it's silly. I'm just another cop."
Tracy Police Chief Gary Hampton said he never considered her gender when she was appointed to the position.
"She is a very wise and experienced sergeant that happens to be a female," he said. "She is a seasoned officer that has developed into a very wise and skilled supervisor, and this is a special assignment for four years. She was a natural fit."
What truly makes her promotion to traffic
different is that Ysit had little experience riding a motorcycle, other than a bit of dirt bike riding.
In fact, she said she banned motorcycles from her own home when her husband, Mario, a former Tracy officer, was seriously injured while riding his personal motorcycle in 2009.
On March 11, Ysit completed the two-week motorcycle school held by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office. She completed the course with her husband.
Mario Ysit took the course to become certified for the Ripon Police Department, she said.
The pass-or-fail school teaches officers from Northern California different riding techniques, such as pulling into traffic and making u-turns both uphill and downhill.
"You're constantly looking and doing 'what ifs' while riding down the road," Ysit said. "However, compared to day one, I'm doing a lot better. I like it."
She has "a lot of scrapes and bruises" from the school but is excited about the challenges of mastering her motorcycle.
Before attending the school, Ysit spent time training daily with Tracy motorcycle officers.
"They were awesome," she said. "They're really good riders themselves, and I couldn't have passed the school without their help."
Ysit will adjust to her work bike before considering a weekend cruiser.

I bought it with a JVC KDR330 radio and installed it at the same time. Very Very easy installation Pros: Answers calls and people tell me it is crystal clear.

Yes | No 4 out of 5 JVC Bluetooth adapter Written By Chad F., Illinois on Sunday, March 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works better than most oem Bluetooth devices. No one can even tell we are talking on it, sounds great! I can even use voice calling by name with my Iphone4. Installation was a breeze. No issues so far, had it for a few weeks now. Pros: Good echo and wind cancellation, easy install, and works great. Cons: None so far Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 JVC KS BTA-100 Bluetooth Written By Joel, Alamogordo New Mexico on Saturday, March 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My sole purpose for purchasing & installing this item was for it's audio streaming capabilities. Install was cake, as wires are the same color as the head unit's. Now I can tune in to Bassdrive dot com on my commute! Pros: Easy install; can stream music from my smartphone, or internet radio; easy to use; I have not used it for calls yet, nor do I intend to: just hold the round button to ignore then rock on! Cons: Only con I can possibly think of is that it came with double sided tape as mounting hardware, my cabin hits 130+ degrees in the summer! Gooey dash is not in my future, as I tossed the tape I secured it via alternate means. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great product Written By Andys, Spartanburg, SC on Thursday, December 27, 2012 I got this as a gift and installed it in about an hour. It works great with my samsung S3. Everyone needs to get this for ease of use and driving while talking on the phone. After installation the phone registration was easy no pass code required just, search and match. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent add-on! Written By Josh, St. Johnsbury. VT on Sunday, February 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This add-on to my JVC stereo was easy to install and works beautifully. The hands-free calling and audio over bluetooth is fantastic. I am super happy I picked one of these up. Pros: Hand-free calling, excellent bluetooth audio quality, small 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great bluetooth module Written By Onal, Georgia on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just installed it in my old Jeep with the JVC receiver. Worked flawlessly! After reading so many bad things about bluetooth systems, I wasn't sure what to expect. Paired with my HTC Radar in seconds and now can receive / make calls, and also stream audio! Switching from phone to streaming to listening to the radio works simply great. Very pleased. Pros: Streaming works. Handsfree works. Paired quickly. No issues. Cons: Would have liked to have a dedicated "hang up" button (you have to press and hold the call button to hang up) 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Simple & effective Written By LCH, Worcester, MA on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As close to plug and play as one can imagine. Installed in my 03 Civic with a JVC KD-HDR44. Mounting right next to the heater controls seems to let everyone hear me just fine. The location is also convenient for blue tooth audio streaming control (i.e. pause, next, previous etc.). Pros: Simple, nearly plug and play. Good voice capture. Cons: Wiring instructions were slightly confusing but I guessed right ... 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 JVC KS-BTA100 Written By cmp, Rhode Island on Saturday, January 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy installation. Works very well. Has not yet failed to pair automatically during 4 months of use. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 A Bit Clunky But Works Well Written By JohnP, New Jersey on Wednesday, December 21, 2011 I bought this JVC bluetooth adapter for use with a JVC KW-HDR720. Unit installed easily- hook up three wires and plug it in the rear aux input. Paired up easily with my Samsung Convoy and streamed music and answered calls as well as making them. Radio mutes automatically when making or taking a call. On my 2011 Xterra I placed this unit on the lower dash near the 4wd switch. The microphone picks up my voice well and the people I call say it sounds clear. I'd have placed it higher on the dash but the cord is visible and colors dont match my dash. I dont make many calls while driving but this will make it safer and easier when I do. For those who use theor phones a head unit with integrated bluetooth may be better. But I have HD radio (awesome) and bluetooth for less than what a bluetooth enabled head unit costs. Pros: Works well, streams audio and makes and receives calls well Cons: Lack of color choices, a bit obtrusive Sometimes plays music when you want to make a call a bit pricy for what it is 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 JVC KS-BTA100 Written By Keri, Las Vegas, NV on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was skeptical about the quality of bluetooth audio, but after I hooked this up with my JVC KD-AHD79, I was blown away with the quality. I should have believed Crutchfield's research regarding bluetooth audio, but I was skeptical because I didn't think wireless technology sound quality would even come close to a direct usb connection. Pleasantly surprised. Pros: Bluetooth Audio Cons: Cost 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Works great! Written By Steve, Missouri on Saturday, October 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this to go with my new JVC KD-AHD79 head unit to install in a 2003 Infinity G35 sedan with the bose system. It works great and sounds better than I expected! Head unit automatically pauses the sound and plays a tone to let you know a call is coming in. It works just as advertised. Only reason I knocked off a star was the price. Quite pricey for what it does. 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Wished they provided mounting suggestions but once you figure it out it is was easy to install. Product works very well with the stereo I bought. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

My phone syncs easily and automatically every time I get in my car. It is also great to be able to play music from my phone wirelessly through the Bluetooth adapter. This was a great purchase for me. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Works great..was a little hesitant that it wouldn't work because on the JVC site where it shows the applicable phones the HTC Droid Incredible (Verizon) wasn't listed..But it woks great..hands free and mutes the music and rings over the car speakers when you get a call...and my friends say that they can hear me better on their phone on the hands free than on the actual phone...Thumbs UP !!!!!! Have it paired with the JVC Arsenal KDAHD79 head unit....AWESOME as well...and easy to install... 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great BT option! Written By ericO, Austin, TX on Friday, June 10, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this BT adapter with my new JVC HDR720. Install was super easy. I was able to place this just to the right of my steering column, and it still picks up my voice perfectly even though it's sitting a bit low on the dash. Playback through the receiver is very good. Functionally, it's very easy to use, which is important so you don't have to look at it to use it. It works with my voice dialing on my phone, so I can just say who I want to call and it dials for me. Syncing has worked flawlessly. Switching from head unit to the phone,or phone to the head unit is effortless. Overall I am very impressed by this adapter. I would buy again.

Yes | No 3 out of 5 Works Like a Charm Written By Tropicalspeed, Houston, TX on Friday, April 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Provides full functionality for the iPod. The iPod is kept in the shirt pocket. The phone and MP3s are all controlled via voice commands. The mp3 sound delivered via bluetooth is very good and the audio delivered by speaker phone is typical. A bit expensive but still worth the money. The controller comes with double-sided tape for surface mounting. Would've been nicer if it had the capability of being flush-mounted in the dashboard. Oh, and the customer service provided by Crutchfield is second to none. Was this review helpful?

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
Staying "lean and mean" should be the bootstrapper's mantra, according to tech entrepreneur Jeff Hester. In this blog post, he shares his advice and insights into protecting and growing your business during the early years.
Investors can have a high degree of influence on the operations of their portfolio companies because of their capital and their board roles. Such influence, at times, may push through ideas that are not in alignment with the leadership team's strategy. This article offers one VC's insights into the relationship between investor and the entrepreneur or CEO.
This tool contains descriptions and examples of the eight major types of ratios used in financial analysis: Income, Profitability, Liquidity, Working Capital, Bankruptcy, Long-Term Analysis, Coverage, and Leverage.
The mysteries of how VCs determine company value can be daunting to entrepreneurs. This uncertainty is due, in large part, to the uncertainty of the valuation process itself. From the VC Confidential blog, here is a glimpse of what that process looks like.
This brief, to-the-point VC blog entry explains why investors often consider operating cash flow as the best measure of business health. The piece also explains one way for entrepreneurs to calculate it with investors in mind.
Serial entrepreneur Will Herman shares 11 best practices for working effectively with a Board of Directors, including determining support, maintaining focus and direction, communication tactics, incorporating the management team, and presentations.
This article covers an emerging trend in how some tech companies finance their growth today. Rather than approach equity investors for early-stage funds, many entrepreneurs now prefer to bootstrap their growth by generally taking advantage of lower startup costs.
When going for round one financing, what should your five-year projections look like? This brief article provides excellent, practical advice. Key points: Know your numbers inside and out, show clearly how your projections were built, and be ruthlessly honest with your potential investors and yourself.
Successful bootstrapping requires getting your hands on cash and managing it wisely. This article points out uncommon sources of ready cash that go unused--negotiating extended payment terms from suppliers, for example.
For quick reference and review, present your board with a one-page summary of your company's finances at your quarterly meetings. Open-book management companies can use it for employees, too. This technique doesn't exempt you from standard financial reporting, but it does help key stakeholders more quickly see and appreciate the big picture.

MiVote.org to visit 16 Michigan cities to interview candidates in key races
June 14, 2010
DEARBORN / June 14, 2010 ---The groundbreaking civic engagement website MiVote.org has been updated with new interactive content that will empower and prepare the citizens of Michigan for the upcoming elections. MiVote.org is a non-partisan, interactive, video-based website that allows Michigan citizens to connect directly with candidates, share their opinions, debate fellow voters and upload their own opinion videos. The project is a partnership between The Center for Michigan, Detroit Public Television and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
Throughout the 2010 election season MiVote.org will highlight the top political issues in the State and include candidates running for Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State and Supreme Court in Michigan and open Congressional, State House of Representative and State Senate races.
"This is one of the most important elections in Michigans history," said Rich Homberg, president and general manager of Detroit Public Television. "MiVote will provide the citizens of Michigan young and old with the information they need to be empowered and informed when voting."
This roadshow and the five-minute videos on MiVote.org offer terrific and convenient ways for Michigan voters to get a feel for where their future legislators stand on the big-picture issues in this important campaign the economy, education, and reforms, said John Bebow, executive director of the Center for Michigan. In an age when money is tight for all non-profits, this partnership between Detroit Public Television, the Center for Michigan and UM-Dearborn shows the value and leverage in multi-group collaboration.
To collect content and track the political climate throughout the state, MiVote: On The Road will travel to 16 cities June 14 July 13, 2010 to interview more than 200 candidates running in open State House of Representatives and State Senate races. During the MiVote: On The Road tapings candidates will be asked to comment on a single, uniform set of questions addressing the issues that are most important throughout the state - education, jobs and the economy, balancing the budget and their views on government reform. Videos will be posted on MiVote.org within 24 hours of capture for news outlets, politicians, and community members to view, comment on and download.
Michigan political pollster Tim Kiska will be blogging about the political climate in Michigan as he tours the state with MiVote: On The Road at www.MiVote.org/blog. MiVote.org provides a great opportunity to get students at UM-Dearborn and around the state involved in this election, said Kiska, associate professor, communications at UM-Dearborn and producer/editor, WWJ-AM. I am excited to get out in the state with MiVote: On The Road and begin speaking to candidates and citizens to hear what really is important to them as we move towards the elections.
Members of the media can visit www.MiVote.org/media to view materials and visit http://media.mivote.org to download hi-definition videos for broadcast. Media is also invited to attend the daily tapings to speak with MiVote representatives and the candidates about this important voter information tool.
Throughout the primary and general election season MiVote.org will continue to be updated with new interactive content, including content relating to Great Debates 2010, which will provide Michigan citizens an in-depth, issues-oriented look at the candidates for governor and dozens of Michigan House and Senate. An unprecedented partnership of 20 leading trade organizations and public broadcasters across the state, Great Debates 2010 will provide three one-hour gubernatorial debates, 50 half-hour legislative debates and several multi-candidate legislative forums.
MiVote.org was launched during the 2008 Presidential campaign as a partnership between the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Detroit Public Television, as a way for students and others in the community to express their views on issues important to them in the ongoing campaign. The site was also utilized during the 2009 Detroit City Council races to profile candidates.

Letters to the editor - Tuesday (10-8-2013)
Individual mandate makes
Obamacare immoral
Leave aside all the talk of politics and economics and cost, and consider the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) from a different angle.
With its mandate requiring that individuals purchase health insurance, it has the effect of forcing those who neither want nor need insurance to subsidize the health care of others. Specifically, it forces the young to participate in an expensive market which does not benefit them, thus hindering their economic freedom and opportunities and forcing them to prop up the elderly and infirm, a requirement which is cynical and immoral.
It may be a brilliant procedural or financial move (though that seems unlikely), but that pales in comparison to the simple fact that it is morally wrong to force individuals to purchase services that do not benefit them, especially since the only reason they are being forced to do so is to benefit others. Furthermore, it is a dreadful law in that it fails to meet the litmus test of benefiting the whole of the people, and not just certain factions of the populace. In fact, while the Supreme Court has declared the law constitutional, it is obvious that it violates the spirit or ethos of the Constitution. Per the Preamble:
"… in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity…"
The act in question does none of those things. It divides by treating citizens differently; it sets the young and old at odds; it promotes general resentment and mistrust; it insults the very notion of liberty by saying (for all intents and purposes)that there is no such thing as freedom of commerce, and giving the government complete jurisdiction over it.
— Tom Hervey
Pawns in shutdown
The government shutdown has hurt hundreds of families in North Carolina and other states. We all are affected one way or another, but how disheartening and shameful it is for some among us to relish those that are suffering, just to prove a point and treat citizens as pawns.
If my neighbor has the flu and I interact with him or her, I had best hope we both have some type of insurance coverage. The ACA is saving lives and was sanctioned by the Supreme Court and signed by the president. Let us proceed with elected officials who will move their attitudes and egos out the way in order to benefit real people. Please read and study the real facts before voting. The majority of the politicians attempting to derail Obamacare do not want the average person to have insurance, but they have insurance that is mostly paid for by taxpayers.
It's time to elect positive officials who want more for our city, county, state and country. Salisbury, it is time to take a stance.
— Emily J. Perry
Pay attention, veterans
My intentions are to call all 18,000 of Rowan County veterans' attention to the staffing changes in the Veteran Services Office.
My belief is that our county commissioners are once again trying to balance the budget on the backs of our veterans. At present 7,000 or more of our deserving veterans are still awaiting resolution to claims that have been pending for a year or longer.
Our veterans officer stands alone in trying to professionally and in a timely manner provide for the needs of our 18,000 veterans and their qualifying dependents. My personal experience leads me to believe that part-time help without supervision is nonproductive and inefficient. I believe most in a management position would agree with me.
To the Rowan County commissioners, be forewarned. At the present time, Republicans hold all five seats in a county with approximately 33 percent Republican voters. The last numbers I saw quoted, during the Al Gore-George Bush election fiasco, indicated that approximately 80 percent of the active duty personnel voted Republican. My belief is that you'll find the similar voting patterns among veterans in Rowan County.
In closing: Veterans, we defended our country; now let's defend our rights and the rights of all young troops proudly serving behind us.
Stand and muster ... be counted.
— A.H. Garner (U.S. Navy, ret.)

While this song is not my absolute no.#1 favorite song from the album (my own preferences lean towards Write Me a Letter, and Where Did You Go as singles) the band's appearance on Letterman provides a good excuse to post a Sallie Ford track.

Stella & Chewy's Freeze-dried Raw Carnivore Kisses Dog Treats are diced, naturally raised, USDA inspected, all-meat treats. Available in 100% Angus Beef, 100% Chicken, 100% Turkey Liver, 100% Bison and 100% Duck. Each Carnivore Kiss is freeze-dried to lock in freshness and flavor.
Freeze-dried vs. Dehydrated
When you freeze-dry a product, it starts out frozen. The ice crystals turn directly into water vapor, skipping the liquid stage. Through this process, practically all the nutritional value of the raw meat and produce is retained. In contrast, dehydrating a product requires high temperatures to evaporate the water. Since dehydrating is similar to cooking, many of the vital nutrients are lost.
Beef, Bison, Chicken and Duck are available in 2.5 oz
Salmon is available in 1.65 oz

I have 3 dogs with unique dietary needs. These treats are perfect for all three! Sometimes I crumble over the top of their food, sometimes I give by themselves. They love all the flavors and are easily digested! Easy to take along on trips too!

F&G Moulding fire caused by sparks from a flue pipe and grinder
Fire investigators say sparks from a flue pipe and grinder caused a weekend fire at F&G Moulding that destroyed a storage room with sawdust and other wood products inside.
Fire Marshal Aaron Youngblood said employees at the business, located at 250 Ridenhour Road, off 7th Street Extension and Old Mocksville Road, were using a grinder on a flue pipe. The fire occurred Saturday after 3:30 p.m. and was contained to the storage room. Ridenhour Supply is also located on the property.
The employees were working outside and the sparks caught sawdust that was on the ground on fire. The sawdust traveled underneath the door of the storage room and ignited other wood products that were in the storage building.

WICHITA — In today's economy, it's a gamble to build a speculative shopping center and hope to find tenants for it, but it's a move that's paying off for Paul Jackson.
The Vantage Point Properties developer has Andover MarketPlace, a 140-acre development on the southeast corner of Kellogg and Andover Road in Andover.
In May, Jackson began building the Shops at MarketPlace, a 14,000-square-foot center next to Dillons Marketplace.
He now has four tenants to announce:
– Scooter's Coffeehouse, which will have 1,400 square feet and a drive-through on the north end of the center.
– H&R Block, which will have 1,400 square feet.
– Martinizing Dry Cleaning, which will have 1,400 square feet.
– Spa Pedicure, which will have 1,200 square feet.
"We have a nice amount of interest in the remaining space," Jackson says. "We feel like it's been a good decision to build that."
When Jackson first bought the property several years ago, his plan was to hold it for the long term.
"We weren't looking to develop it immediately."
Dillons wanted to expand with a Marketplace concept, though, and the YMCA decided to build a new branch about the same time.
"They just came into play a lot earlier than we expected them," Jackson says. "Once those started, we started full speed into the development process."
