Beer, wine sales OK'd at hookah lounge; City Council must give final nod
SALISBURY — Despite a lengthy complaint from neighbors, the Salisbury Planning Board voted Tuesday to allow a new downtown hookah lounge to sell beer and wine.
Fact Box
In other news from Tuesday's Salisbury Planning Board meeting:
• A used bookstore called The Final Word plans to move into 612 W. Innes St. Owner Elizabeth Pope said she is expanding her Charlotte-based business to Salisbury.
The planning board voted unanimously to recommend that City Council grant a special use permit to 612 W. Innes St. to allow retail. The building is located near ProMed and Salisbury Motor Company.
However, planning board members want City Council to limit retail use of the property, which is a former insurance office, to protect a nearby neighborhood. If City Council agrees, the only retail use approved for the property would be a bookstore. Other office-type uses still would be allowed.
• Lazy 5 Vets at 2916 S. Main St. plans to nearly double in size and add a boarding facility.
The planning board agreed to rezone one parcel the practice recently bought to match the surrounding highway-business zoning. The property at 2910 S. Main St. — next door to the existing vet office — had been zoned corridor mixed use.
The vet has sold the house on the property, which will be moved.
Practice manager Scott Julian said he plans to start construction within four months on a 7,600-square-foot addition and expand north onto several parcels the business now owns.
• The planning board approved draft changes to the city's sign ordinance and will send them to City Council for consideration. The recommendations include allowing electronic, digital displays citywide but limiting them to monument signs — as opposed to signs mounted on a pole — no taller than seven feet.
Digital displays are currently allowed only at colleges and gas stations, as well as the VA Medical Center.
The planning board recommends the digital message should not change more than once every five minutes. Members also will ask City Council to appoint a committee to dig into the overall sign ordinance and study inconsistencies, as well as the practice of grandfathering signs indefinitely.

In other action
The King Tut Cafe and Hookah Lounge opened Friday at 5 Easy Street, the former home of A Step in Time gift shop. A hookah lounge — a place where people smoke flavored tobacco from a shared pipe — doesn't need approval from the city, but wine and beer sales do.
Robert Crum and Cherie Turner have argued against alcohol sales at King Tut during two planning board meetings and a committee meeting, totaling about five hours. But planning board member David Post said the couple did not prove that alcohol sales at King Tut would lower the value of their property next door.
"There was no evidence presented in any fashion that would indicate harm in any of those areas," said Post, who served on the committee that studied the issue.
After the committee's report, the planning board voted to recommend that City Council issue a special use permit for beer and wine sales at King Tut. City Council will take up the issue July 16, including a public hearing.
All planning board members voted to recommend approval except Randy Reamer, who recused himself at Crum's request, and Patricia Ricks, who abstained.
The hookah lounge is tucked under and behind 118 E. Council St., which stands next to Crum and Turner's property at 116 E. Council St.
Crum and Turner have a longstanding dispute with Henry and Karen Alexander, who own 118 E. Council St. and 5 Easy Street. Karen Alexander is a City Council member and a former member of the planning board.
Planning board members noted that there are seven security cameras at the Alexanders' property, and King Tut does not plan to change the exterior of the building.
Committee members said they asked Crum and Turner to provide evidence that beer and wine sales would harm their property, but instead, parking concerns took up most of the committee meeting. Members said they determined that parking is irrelevant to allowing beer and wine sales.
Reamer reluctantly recused himself from Tuesday's planning board meeting. He disagreed with Crum's assertion that he had a bias.
Reamer, an attorney, represented the Alexanders in a lawsuit brought by Crum and Turner. Reamer said he no longer represents the Alexanders and has an understanding of the property that could be helpful in planning board deliberations.
However, he agreed to recuse himself to avoid a disagreement.
Crum and Turner sued the Alexanders in 2010 over access to alleys in the vicinity of 114, 116 and 118 E. Council St. After two and a half years of litigation, a judge ruled that neither party could block the others' access to the alleys and awarded no money to either couple.
After Tuesday's vote, Crum said planning board members misrepresented his concerns and he plans to pursue his opposition at City Council.
Karen Alexander said Crum provided misinformation about the lawsuit.
King Tut features more than 50 flavors of tobacco, according to owner Hamdy Kishk of Charlotte. The lounge is open from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday, 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. to midnight Sunday.
King Tut serves sandwiches and pizza. Customers must be 18 years or older, unless accompanied by an adult.

In the simplest form, the role of a newspaper is to record the history of an area as it happens, but making that happen is never quite as easy as it sounds. There is no "typical day" in the life of a journalist because the news never stops. It never sleeps, it follows no schedule.
A normal day in the newsroom of The Daily Tribune News will begin before 8 a.m. and end sometime between midnight and 3 a.m. There will be stories to write, photos to take, pages to design, phone calls to answer, emails to send, visitors to assist and all of it on deadline.
Hot off the press
How the 10 of us Photographer Skip Butler, Family & Living Editor Elizabeth Cochran, Sports Editor David Royal, Associate Sports Editor Andrew Adler, Business and Environment Reporter Matt Shinall, Education Reporter Mark Andrews, Features Editor Marie Nesmith, Copy Editor and Designer Chike Nwakamma, Government Report Jason Lowrey and myself, the managing editor — came to be in journalism varies from person to person.
Among our reasons you will find common themes — a passion for people, a talent for writing, a connection to community.
Cochran began with The Daily Tribune News at the age of 17 and has spent 54 consecutive years with the company, beginning with setting type and cutting stencils, eventually becoming the Family & Living editor.
Royal said he got into newspapers to meet people and tell their stories, adding with a laugh that he never really did because he served as an investigative reporter and news editor.
For Nesmith, it is all she has ever done.
"I majored in English in college and my first job was with The Dahlonega Nugget, which was the small town newspaper in the same town that my college was in, Dahlonega," she said. "That was in the '90s and I've stayed there ever since."
Andrews and Lowrey shared a love of writing that led them both to newspapers.
"I got into news writing because I've always been told I was a good writer, and I wanted to have a job where I worked with the community and kind of stayed neutral," Andrews said. "… I've always felt like I was kind of a fly on the wall. I'm kind of always looking at other people living their lives and this is an opportunity for me to do that for living and kind of just observe people."
For Lowrey, journalism ranked behind fiction, short stories and even automotive journalism on his list of career choices.
"Once I started getting my feet wet …, I realized I did enjoy it because I started thinking of something one of my professors said … It's really fun when you go out and do a story because basically for one day you are an expert on something. You know, you go to a meeting, you do an interview with somebody, put the story together, and for one day, you are the best informed person on that particular topic until the next comes around and you get to do it all over again," he said.
Shinall said he always wanted to write but he stumbled into newspapers.
"…When the time came after I had been graduated — I guess the first summer after I graduated — I had been looking for opportunities in my hometown, in Cartersville, and wanted to stay involved in the community, and this opportunity presented itself. So I pursued that and that's been the combination of being able to write and stay involved in my hometown," he said. "It has been perfect. It's really a marriage of those two things."
Among the newsroom, I am the only one who did not want to be a writer. I came in from the design side, beginning with The Red & Black at the University of Georgia as a copy editor and designer.
"I did not want to have to walk up on the scene of a crash or walk up on the scene of a murder or of a fire where people had just lost everything and have to stick a recorder in those people's faces on the worst day of their life and ask them to talk to me," I told the newsroom during our group interview for this story. "... I came here to Cartersville and I got thrown into a tumbler of being a jack-of-all-trades. The more you meet people you do realize that we have the opportunity to tell stories and to tell the truth. We hold people accountable, we inform people, we meet some really cool people and I honestly could not imagine doing anything else. It kind of found me instead of me finding it."
Similarly, photojournalism found Butler.
"When my dormitory caught on fire at the University of Georgia, it launched my photojournalism career. I took a photo of firefighters on the dorm roof that won me first place in a UGA photojournalism contest and a small scholarship from Georgia Power," he said. "'Finally,' I said to myself, 'I have found something I am good at.'"
The joy of journalism
The fluidity of the news keeps our lives interesting. We have covered natural disasters, battled flood waters, donned hard hats for business announcements, been thrown into the middle of developing school board contentions and told the heartbreaking stories of the terminally ill.
In all of that, we see the best of the community. We work with the men and woman making a difference in the community. We encounter the children who are the future.
"I guess the fondest memories I have are the incredible people that you get to meet. Sometimes it's in the most unlikely places," Shinall said. "Last Friday I went to a site where volunteers were helping an Army veteran. They were doing work on his house, and he was an incredible guy and the people helping him were incredible. …
"You get to meet governors, CEOs and things like that and that's neat but it's the everyday heroes who are probably the most meaningful."
Andrews said seeing the children and focusing on the accomplishments of local youth is a bright spot in an area that can become cloudy with politics.
"I really enjoy being able to meet with people, meet the kids at the schools and highlight what they're doing because so many times the kids might go home and the parents may ask, 'What did you do today?' 'Nothing.' This is an opportunity for the parents to pick up a newspaper and see what their kids are doing, the taxpayers to see what they are doing and to get out and meet the people who are shaping our kids' lives. It sounds cheesy but children are our future," he said. "… It's nice to be able to go see some kids smiling and giving you high-fives and being able to kind of be a part of that life and kind of get away from the negativity that's unfortunately associated with education."
I am blessed to have what I say is the coolest job in the world. I meet the people shaping our community and I have the opportunity to immerse myself in their world.
"Today I can be a cop and tomorrow I can be a firefighter and the day after that I can be a veterinarian. Every day I have a different job," I said. "I like feeling like we are making a difference, that we are improving somebody's life or some organization's goals or a school or a business."
When all the aspects of a story come together, that feeling of making a difference brings satisfaction to Butler.
"The best part of the job for me is when I have successfully collaborated with a reporter on a story that makes a difference in helping someone get through a tough time in his or her life. Sometimes it is an illness or a death of a family member," he said. "I also get satisfaction when the newspaper is able to give someone a voice on an issue when they may not have one."
Stop the presses
With the good comes the bad — the ever-changing nature of the business, the constant distractions and interruptions, and a frustratingly regular train through downtown Cartersville.
A newspaper is born six days a week out of combined efforts of numerous people. The only constant? A looming deadline.
"We have deadlines," Cochran said. "I know a lot of people know that but then a lot of people don't. They think they can give you something today and it can get in tomorrow's paper, which that's not the way it is all the time."
"Some days will be smooth. You'll be able to work on your story, maybe get some other interviews done," Nesmith said. "It's learning a lot of times you have to multitask as far as working on a story for the next day, doing multiple interviews for multiple stories in the future, also answering phones along with everyone else in the office answering phones, if something comes across the scanner and you are the only one in the office you're going and everything else is on hold."
The typical day in the newsroom begins with a plan. Reporters have a plan for stories and Butler has a plan for photos. Sports will plan for games. But, as Lowrey points out, Murphy's Law reigns.
"You walk in here. You know at some point, even though you have your day laid out, you think, 'I'm going to interview this person, send out these emails, type this up, format that.' You know at some point, somewhere along the line, the ceiling is going to fall in on your head and then you're going to deal with it somehow," he said.
Take, for instance, the interview I am conducting with the newsroom late on a Thursday afternoon. In the roughly 45 minutes it takes to finally abandon our attempts, we are interrupted once by a train, I receive four phone calls and the reporters field three or four more.
"A normal day for me? I come in and sift through emails and voicemails and then I might start research for a story and future stories before lunch. Then probably transcribe, if I have done an interview yet, and then right before and then right after lunch, I try to do my interviews if possible and more transcribing and more research. I guess it's crafting the story and editing," Shinall said. "In the meantime, in all that, nothing ever goes as planned. In between all that, there's eight other people in an open office doing stories and interviews and there's people walking in and the scanner is going off and there's a train in the background.
"There's constantly things that are vying for attention and there's constantly something else that needs to be done. The phone is constantly ringing for someone … There's trying to plan for future stories and trying to plan for photos to accompany stories. Putting all those things into a normal day is where it becomes difficult, fitting everything in and all the interruptions and distractions that might seem like interruptions but that's just a part of it. It's unavoidable."
Butler begins his day the day before.
"Planning is the key to getting good photos. One must have the right equipment, sometimes the right clothing and a plan," he said. "The night before, I look over the next day's photo assignments and decide what equipment I need to bring from home, what extra clothing I may need, and what I might need to clarify with the reporters concerning what they have told me on the assignment sheets."
For me, there is no "normal" day and no day off. My job requires answering calls, emails and offering direction or support to the newsroom. I write and occasionally take photographs. And I handle the responsibilities required of a department head.
"On the weekends when I'm home, on the days I'm off, the hours I'm not working, it's constantly reading the news. I never know when the phone is going to ring," I said in the group interview. "When the building in White burned, I'm dead to the world, and my phone is going off at 2:30 in the morning with people saying, 'Hey, this building is on fire. You need to get here.' Or it's 6 o'clock in the morning and the smoke alarms or fire alarms or burglar alarms go off at a bank, I'm going on vacation and I'm somewhere in Macon and my phone is going off with things that need to be handled here.
"… There is no typical day. There is no day in our life. It could be a peaceful Tuesday and a woman is stabbed to death and your day changes, your focus shifts. You have to be very, very flexible in this job, very fluid. … The news does not happen on my schedule. It does not happen on this newspaper's schedule. You don't know when tornadoes are going to rip through the county. You don't know when a building is going to burn. You don't operate on a normal [schedule]."
"You always have to have a plan B story and sometimes you have to go to that story at 2 or 3 in the afternoon," Nesmith adds.
Public information
As public servants, the newsroom often encounters those unfamiliar with the operations of a newspaper.
Newspapers consistently rank at the top of research surveys as the most reliable news source. That could be because, in an age of growing news sources Internet, mobile technology, social media, the legal ramifications for inaccurate reporting by newspapers remain high.
Reporters are required to have documented proof, a recorded meeting or interview with a source to back up a story. There is no room for rumors, hearsay or bias.
"I would say the hardest part of my job is walking the thin line of being a public servant working for a private business and staying neutral because people will come to you with information about the school board that they want reported and you have to look into that information. You have to ask questions from both sides," Andrews said. "You might run a story and people are upset with it because it didn't cater to their interests, but they don't understand just because they come to you and say, 'You think you're going to be a crusader for the community,' you have to be a neutral crusader."
Lowrey echoed Andrews' statement.
"I just want people to know we don't have an agenda," he said. "… We try to report on what's going on here in as unbiased way as possible. When people come to me and I say I can't report on something because it is hearsay or there is nothing to substantiate it or I don't have a physical piece of paper in my hands from a reputable source that I can use as fact and they get angry at me because I can't use that, I can't bow to everyone's viewpoints or what they expect of us just because they want us to."
At the end of the day
When the day is wrapping up and the pages of your newspaper have come together, we are moving forward, thinking automatically of the next day.
"I may have an assignment that puts me wading in the middle of the Etowah River, in an operating room during an actual operation at Cartersville Medical Center or during breaking news where I am chasing a suspect - from a safe distance - in downtown Cartersville who has committed an armed robbery," Butler said. "I try to put Daily Tribune News readers in the best seat in the house. I strive to provide a view that readers don't normally get. I try to serve our reader, not the reporter or the person or organization the story is about. I believe if you can provide the reader what they need then that will take care of all the story's stakeholders."
For Cochran, how The Daily Tribune News handles the people we serve speaks to our role in the community.
"I really think the way we handle people, deal with people is our most important job."

Bryan gives us the low down on how to Calibrate your Hygrometer for your Humidor.
For more information visit CI's Cigar 101 section.
With Winter here, the cool, crisp conditions have likely altered the environment inside your humidor. So, you'll want to keep a close eye on your humidor. But how do you know that your hygrometer is reading the humidity accurately? A simple calibration will do the trick. Here are a couple of ways to calibrate your hygrometer:
The Towel Test:
Dampen a towel (not dripping wet, but good and damp), then wrap the hygrometer in the towel for 30 to 45 minutes. Then unwrap it and read the humidity (quickly). If your hygrometer is perfectly calibrated (few are) it will be reading exactly 100% humidity. Most likely, it will be reading somewhere between 80 and 90%. At this point, whatever the hygrometer reads, you can either set the needle to exactly 75% immediately after the test, or if you're a little lazier, make a mental note of how far over or under the actual humidity is from the reading from your hygrometer.
Wanna get a little more technical? Try the Salt Test:
Luckily, as nature would have it, when salt and water (NaCl and H2O for you studious types), are in a saturated solution at equilibrium, the resultant humidity is 75%. This gives a fantastic reference point to calibrate our hygrometer. There is an easy way to determine if your hygrometer is accurate. Here's the procedure you should use: you need a ziploc bag, a screw-on beer bottle cap (or other small container) a small amount of salt (regular 'ole table salt), and water.
Place the salt in the bottle cap (or other small container).
Dampen the salt with water. Do not put so much in that the salt gets "sloppy". You want a damp pile of salt in the bottle cap.
Place both the hygrometer and the bottle cap full of damp salt in the ziploc bag and seal it well. (It is important not to let air on or out while the test is going on.)
Keep it like this for over 8 hours.
After 8 hours in the damp salt environment, the actual humidity inside the bag will be 75%. Compare it to your hygrometer, your hygrometer should also read 75%. If not, you will then know exactly how far off your hygrometer is. If it's off, note the amount and direction that it actually reads and be sure to add or subtract that amount when reading the hygrometer. If the hygrometer has a control to adjust it (either the needle or the display), you can set the hygrometer to 75% immediately after the test.
You should salt test your hygrometer every 6 months or so to be sure of the accuracy.

Debate over opening a section of a Fort Ord roadway at the request of a developer has become the latest skirmish in the battle over how to develop the former military base.
On Tuesday, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors will consider a request from East Garrison developer Union Community Partners to open Intergarrison Road to through traffic. The roadway, closed since 2009, according to county staff, is considered a key link through Fort Ord between the planned community and the Monterey Peninsula.
Staff is recommending the road be opened to traffic after stop signs and parking restrictions are in place, including a three-way intersection at Intergarrison and Schoonover Road and parking restrictions on the north side of Intergarrison.
But the request has drawn opposition from dozens of people who argue high-speed commuter traffic would be dangerous to students, joggers, bicyclists, hikers and others who use the road and a popular trailhead in the area.
Supervisor Dave Potter blamed the opposition on "the Keep Fort Ord Wild folks," and suggested it was part of a larger effort to oppose the Eastside Parkway that would run through the area. Potter said an open Intergarrison Road was part of the East Garrison development deal between the county and UCP, and that the developer might have a good legal case if the county faltered on its commitment.
Supporters of opening the road to through traffic argue it will help ease traffic on other routes through Fort Ord, such as Imjin Road.
Supervisor Jane Parker said she supports opening Intergarrison Road eventually, but feels it is premature. Parker argued that other Fort Ord routes, such as 8th Street, are not yet open, which will force Intergarrison traffic through CSU Monterey Bay. She said crowds of people also rely on a dirt turnout at the Jerry Smith Trail along the roadway, and traffic would create a dangerous situation.
Finally, she pointed out that no one is living at East Garrison, and said even when residents move into the planned apartments and homes, it still won't add an overwhelming amount of new traffic to the area.
Parker said she would support opening Intergarrison once other Fort Ord routes are ready and the trailhead improvements are finished.
Potter and Parker split their Fort Ord subcommittee votes in May on whether to open the roadway, leaving the full board to decide the matter.
The issue has split area residents along similar lines as those in the ongoing debate over reuse of Fort Ord, which is defined by two competing ballot measures headed toward a November electoral showdown.
According to county staff, the East Garrison developers indicated they were getting ready to open the 66-unit Manzanita Place affordable housing apartment complex and are starting construction of the first market-rate homes, suggesting the opening of Intergarrison Road was linked to that progress. A staff report says the county has already activated the traffic signals at Intergarrison and Reservation Road, and that the opening of the roadway was consistent with the "long-term circulation plans" for Fort Ord, pointing to Eastside Parkway and 8th Street as examples.
The staff report included six options, from keeping Intergarrison closed to opening it with a range of parking provisions and restrictions.
According to the report, the supervisors closed Intergarrison four years ago to discourage illegal dumping between a steel gate and the East Garrison construction fencing, though the road hadn't been used regularly for years.
Staff said the environmental review for the East Garrison development plan anticipated the use of Intergarrison Road, and no further environmental review would be required to open it to traffic.
In its report, staff indicated the county delayed plans to open the roadway last summer to work out a deal with university officials aimed at offsetting the impact of traffic through the campus. University officials have since installed traffic calming measures, according to the report.
The staff report acknowledged that other roadways regarded by Fort Ord planners as crucial to circulation on the former base — Eastside Parkway and 8th Street — had been delayed or were still years away from construction.
The board was originally slated to consider opening the roadway last month but postponed the matter after UCP Vice President Jim Fletcher asked for the delay because he couldn't attend the hearing. Fletcher did not return a phone call from The Herald on Friday.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Alpine PDX-V9 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. 5-channel powerhouse The Alpine PDX-V9 5-channel amp delivers a whopping 100 watts RMS each to four speakers at the same time it blasts 500 watts RMS to your sub setup. This amazingly compact amp uses beefy internal components and clever engineering to keep the power output strong and the noise low for superb fidelity and control. The adjustable crossovers feature an extended range of crossover points, allowing you to use this amp with component tweeters, midrange speakers, or midbass drivers. They make a cool stack of amps Alpine packs Class-D amplifier technology into this PDX amplifier for awesome power from a 2" tall frame. This small-but-mighty amp runs so cool that you can stack it together with other PDX amps into a single unit — the multiple heatsinks actually couple together to cool the entire stack. Each PDX Series amp offers the same 8" by 10" footprint, so they'll fit in hatchbacks, trunks, truck cabs, and any vehicles with limited space. Front-mounted controls and pop-out connectors Front-mounted controls make post-installation adjustments a snap, even when multiple amps are stacked together. Nifty removable speaker and power wire plugs make it easy to install or remove an amp, ensuring a tight connection while guaranteeing that your speakers work in unison. Gold-plated RCA inputs, outputs, and power connections resist corrosion and signal degradation.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features PDX Amplifier Design: Class-D amplifiers boast higher efficiency, produce much less heat, and draw less current than traditional Class-AB amps. The PDX series is Alpine's super-efficient power density design of full-range and monoblock Class-D amps. They combine MOSFET power supplies, MOSFET final outputs, and a thermal management processor, along with a 6-Layer Glass Epoxy PC Board to create a high-end sound quality without the bulky heat sinks required by most amps with this much power. STAR Topology: Alpine's unique STAR (Signal Transit for Accurate Response) Circuit PCB design provides a single common ground for all amp sub-blocks, preventing ground interference and minimizing internal noise. Power Management Processor: The Alpine PDX amplifier incorporates Alpine's new Power Management circuit. The Power Management Processor controls all aspects of amplifier performance, monitoring voltage, temperature and output to ensure uninterrupted power output for non-stop listening. Uninterrupted Protection Circuits: If the amplifier gets too hot, the Thermal Protection circuit kicks in and gradually decreases output power until it cools down. Once cool, the power output automatically increases back to the previous level. If the circuit detects a Low Battery condition, it will gradually decrease power output if battery voltage becomes too low. Once the battery voltage increases, power will be restored. This interruption-free design allows for non-stop enjoyment with no hiccups or drop-outs, just clean, clear output. Channel Design: The Alpine PDX-V9 can be configured as a 5-channel, 4-channel, or 3-channel amplifier. The amplifier is stable down to 2-ohms in stereo, and 4-ohms when bridged. Low Impedance Stability: This amp is stable at low impedances and is capable of its rated power (100 Watts x 4 + 500 Watts x 1) from 2 to 4 ohms. This allows excellent flexibility with multiple speaker and subwoofer loads and is adjusted automatically. CEA 2006 Compliant: The PDX-V9's power ratings are measured according to the strict standards dictated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even if they come from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. 4 Ohms: 100 watts RMS x 4 and 500 watts x 1 @ 14.4 Volts with <1% THD+N 2 Ohms: 100 watts RMS x 4 and 500 watts x 1 @ 14.4 Volts with <1% THD+N Bridged (4-ohm): 200 watts RMS x 2 @ 14.4 Volts with <1% THD+N Verification Certificate: The amplifier comes with a certificate that lists the RMS power output of the individual amplifier. It also lists the model number, serial number, test date, and the test conditions (14.4 volts, 4 ohms). Ultra-Wide Frequency Response: The Alpine PDX-V9 offers a super-wide, frequency range (5Hz-50kHz, +0/-1dB) for unparallel sound quality and detail. Ultra-Low Output Impedance: With ultra-low output impedance, the PDX-V9 offers extremely controlled, tight bass for unprecedented sound quality. The amplifier's Damping Factor is rated at >500 for channels 1-4 and >1000 for channel 5. High Signal-to-Noise: This amplifier is capable of S/N ratios up to 92dB S/N at 1W and 112dB S/N at rated power for extremely clean, uncolored sound. The PDX amp delivers crystal clear music every time, without unwanted background noise or static. Power Supply: The PDX amplifier's power supply delivers tremendous headroom with low distortion and noise. The PDX amplifier has an extremely high total system efficiency of ~80% (power supply is rated at >90%, output stage is rated >90%). Trim Rings: The PDX-series amps each have removable trim rings that can be custom painted to match your vehicle, or personalized to anything you want. Stackable: The PDX-series amplifiers are 20% thinner than previous models at only 2" thick. A newly designed stacking system packs the amps closer together so there are no gaps and to save space in the trunk while directly coupling the amps heatsinks to help share cooling duties. The stacking plates are included with other PDX-series amplifiers. Note: When stacking multiple amplifiers, do not install vertically or at an incline. Any stack installation other than parallel to the vehicle floor, invalidates the warranty. LED: The top-mounted LED Power indicator glows blue when the amplifier is turned on. Controls Hidden Controls: The Alpine PDX amplifier's controls are hidden behind a decorative front panel. The front panel is removed by unscrewing one machine screw with the supplied Allen wrench and then prying the front panel open. Gain Control: The PDX-V9 provides independent rotary controls for the front, rear, and sub channels to set the amplifier's gain according to the level of the incoming signal. The gain settings is continuously variable from 0.2V to 4.0V for the front and rear and 0.1V to 4.0V for the sub. Optional Remote Bass Control: The amplifier has an RJ-25 modular jack for adding the optional RUX-KNOB Remote Bass Control for full control of the bass adjustments from the dash. You can also control multiple amps from the same controller with simple telephone cord adapters. Note: The Remote Bass Control will only control the mono subwoofer channel (channel 5). Crossovers: The Alpine PDX-V9 offers independent crossovers for the front, rear, and sub channels, which can be set as follows: Front (High-pass only): 3-way switch (Off, x1, x10); Frequency: 30-600Hz (x1) or 300-6000Hz (x10) Rear: 3-way switch (Off, HP, LP); Frequency: 30-600Hz (HP) or 300-6kHz (LP, if front switch set to x10); CH3/4 Input Switch (1/2 or 3/4) Sub: Frequency: 50-600Hz (LP), 3-30Hz (Subsonic); SubW Input Switch (1+2+3+4 or SubW) Connections Terminal Layout: For wiring convenience, all of the inputs and outputs on the amplifier are on one side. Quick Connect Plugs: The PDX series amplifier uses quick connect plugs to attach your system's speaker wires and power cables to the amp for a simple, error-free installation. Quick Connect Speaker Terminals: The Alpine PDX-V9 includes 5 quick connect high-power speaker terminals. Bare speaker wire, up to 8 gauge, is held in place by screw clamps on the quick connectors. The speaker terminal quick connectors then plug into the amplifier. Quick Connect Battery Terminals: The removable battery terminal quick connector features a low-loss, high-current design. It accepts up to 4GA wire for power and ground, to ensure your amp gets the power it needs while allowing for easy installation. The remote-turn on lead will accept up 12 gauge wire. The power, ground, and remote-turn on lead are secured by set-screws on quick connector. The battery terminal quick connector then plugs into the amplifier.

I have pushed it very hard and it doesn't lose its clarity. I have it paired with two alpine swa 12s4 subwoofers and four 6 3/4 kicker cs speakers and it just pounds in my firebird. I couldn't be happier. \ Pros: sound clarity, small Cons: it tends to get a bi hot even though it is out in the open with plenty of air movement Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great power, small package Written By dnut, Ann Arbor, MI on Saturday, June 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this unit to power the upgraded 5 speaker system in my new 2014 Mustang. After a lot of looking around, decided to pick this amp as the base unit for the system. Has great power - the system actually goes louder than I can take it - much more than the Shaker 500 system in my previous 2006 Mustang. The unit is small enough that I mounted it under the rear deck - so I still get to keep the trunk space that I had, minus the sub in the corner of course (used the custom fit enclosure for that, so not too bad). Matched with Alpine SPR-68 in front, Rockford Fosgate PPS4-6 in back and Rockford Fosgate 12" P3 sub Pros: - Great power, clear and clean sound through the range I can take. - Small size makes easy to mount - Nice connectors for the speakers so you can unplug and rearrange wires easily Cons: None so far. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 I must be missing something Written By SteveB, Fitchburg, MA on Friday, February 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Disappointed with the strength delivered to my system. I was truly hoping for more power than I get. Have to turn WAY up to get anywhere near the volume I'd hoped for when powering Alpine SPR-50C component speakers in front, Alpine SPR-69 speakers in the rear, and a JL CS110RG-W3v3 sub in the trunk. The sound quality is quite good, but this system really lacks power. Pros: Sound quality Cons: Lack of thump, especially for the price. 2 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: Small, compact and powerful 1 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Power in Small Footprint Written By Chris, Bronx, NY on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm currently using this Amp to push Alpine SPR-60C's (component) up front, Alpine SPR-60's (coaxial) in the rears and an Alpine SWR-12D2 in a 2009 Honda Accord. No issue delivering the needed power to all speakers on channels 1-4, nor sub on the 5th channel. The birth sheet included specifically indicated 110W RMS per channel (1-4) and 560W RMS to the sub. The sub has enough power to make the rear deck rattle, so gains are set to normal. When used with the "RUX-KNOB" accessory, the AMP provides full control over your speakers. I couldn't believe how clear and crisp the highs and lows that are produced. The performance delivered upon initial installation was a bit overwhelming, but a lot of time was needed to adjust the gains and crossover points to get the perfect sound stage needed. This small amp provides the power to adequately run a nice aftermarket system, enough to make a parked car alarm go off if need be. Not my forte though, but nice to know if someone needed the power. I've never experienced and overheating (weather has been around 60's here in NY) and I have had the Amp running for a good 3+ hours at a time. The real test would be when summer time hits (90+ degree weather). Aside from that, I have not experienced any "hiss" sounds from this amp. I made sure I properly grounded this unit to avoid any electrical noises. The connectors are designed to reduce electrical noise and that's a big plus. Pros: Power and Efficiency delivered in a compact size for your entire system, including the sub. Cons: Allen wrench needed to remove the faceplate to gain access to amp settings (channel gains, crossovers, etc). 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Smokin' Hot Amp Written By ScotC, Las Vegas, NV on Tuesday, April 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This sucker may be one of the best amps on the market. Each amp comes with a certification of testing, for example, even though this amp says 100W per channel, mine tested out at 144W per channel. My installer dialed down the gains for the cleanest possible sound without distortion and this baby just flat out rocks! It is unbelievably clean, with crystal clear voices and mid-levels, and the bass just booms, baby booms. I had my system installed by a local Master Certified Tech, and even he noted that this was one of the cleanest and most powerful amps he's ever heard. He told me I could power 10 speakers off this if I wanted. Don't hesitate because it's pricey... you get what you pay for. Pros: Clean, unadulterated power. Everything you need to power your car's system in one package. Cons: Price ain't cheap. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Can't be beat for the price.... Written By Patrick, Chester, VA on Wednesday, August 08, 2012 I was waiting for Alpine to introduce a more powerful 5-channel amp to their line up, and they finally did! I actually traded up a JL900/5 for the PDX-V9. Same specs and for $300 less. The specs on the PDX-V9 are actually better than the JL900/5, not sure why Crutchfield doesn't list them. I'm not bashing JL Audio in any way, I just couldn't use the JL900/5 for my particular application. The JL amp kept overheating and driving itself into protect mode. Returned one and recieved another, and it did the same thing. Just to find out it was the heat in the trunk driving the internal temperature of the amplifier up even before it was turned on. Anyway, after 2 JL's, decided on the Alpine and absolutley love it! Great sound and plenty of power. I did notice that the Alpine sounds a bit cleaner than the JL, and the gains don't have to be set quite as high. The JL would distort a bit, which was dissapointing, but not the Alpine. The amp runs pretty cool overall even when it's been sitting in the trunk of a car for 8 plus hours in the hot sun. I'm driving 2 pairs of Alpine Type-R's, components in the front and 2-ways in the rear deck. As for a sub, it's pushing a JL Audio H.O. Powerwedge with 12"W6 DVC. The bass is tight and accurate and very LOUD. I wouldn't try to power a W7 with this amp, but mid-grade to some upper end subwoofers will do fine. I would just try to find a subwoofer that is rated for 500W RMS continuous. Overall, I'm very pleased with this Alpine product. Pros: Plenty of power, small, runs relatively cool, plenty of crossover adjustments Cons: None that I can think of... 25 out of 27 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

- Origin:
This incredibly rare pair of antique candlesticks, comprised of beautifully polished agate stone mounted in gilded silver, was crafted by Edward Farrell, one of the finest craftsmen working in the Rococo Revival style. Opulent yet well-balanced, with wide octagonal bases, scallop bobeches and an intricate floral motif, these intriguing lights were most certainly made for an affluent member of society. Farrell, who worked with Paul Storr, excelled at creating highly figurative, elaborate pieces, and was known as a specialist in historical plate. He also supplied Frederick, the Duke of York, with monumental and ambitious works through his association with silversmith and jeweler Kensington Lewis. Exceptional in detail and execution, these fabulous candlesticks are superb examples of Farrell's genius. Similar candlesticks were crafted by Royal Goldsmiths Robert Garrard & Co. of London, formerly owned by the Duke of Buckingham (1797-1861), and later by Sir Anthony Rothschild of the powerful and prominent Rothschild family. Hallmarked London, 1823 5 1/4" wide x 7 5/8" high Agate was highly valued as a talisman or amulet in ancient times, and has been collected by royalty since antiquity. Many museums in Europe, including the Louvre, have spectacular examples. To find a box of such outstanding quality and artistry on the market is quite rare.

Today's anti-parasitic drugs generally remain effective against cattle parasites in the United States, but occurrence of resistant parasites in other countries and in other livestock species, and signs of emergence of resistant populations here, create a need for prevention measures. A new report from the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine provides tips for preventing and detecting such resistance.
According to the report's authors, part of the problem could be that veterinarians and producers are too successful in reducing parasites in host populations.
The paper outlines the concept of "refugia," which is a portion of the parasite population not targeted for treatment. When an animal is treated with an anti-parasitic drug, susceptible parasites are killed but some resistant or tolerant individuals are left behind. Those parasites pass their genetic resistance on to their offspring. If all the parasites affecting a herd of livestock are exposed to the drug, resistant parasites eventually could make up the majority of the population.
The refugia concept creates a "refuge" for some parasites by leaving them untreated. The idea is to maintain a population of drug-susceptible parasites to dilute the population of resistant ones. Refuges can include untreated animals, parasite eggs and larvae on pastures when animals are treated and life stages of the parasite not affected by treatment. The authors suggest, for example, that treating just half the herd at one time could reduce parasite loads while helping retain the population's susceptibility to anti-parasite drugs.
The authors list the following management practices they believe contribute to anti-parasitic resistance:
- Treating every animal in the herd.
- Frequent routine deworming without performing diagnostic tests or determining if treatment is necessary.
- Deworming when environmental refugia is low.
- Giving an anti-parasitic drug without knowing if it will be effective on the farm.
- Using anti-parasitic drugs for unapproved uses, such as to increase weight gain.
- Relying solely on anti-parasitic drugs to control parasites, rather than changing management practices.
The authors offer these tips for managing anti-parasitic resistance:
- Use clinical signs and diagnostic test results to determine which parasites are present on the farm, level of infection and level of resistance, and use the information for management and treatment decisions.
- Use only anti-parasitic drugs that are effective based on recent diagnostic test results and approved for the particular parasites present on the farm. Always follow the directions on the drug's label and don't use anti-parasitic drugs for unapproved uses.
- Ideally, identify and cull the animals that are the highest fecal egg shedders. Otherwise, target treatment toward animals at greatest risk of illness from parasitic infections.
- Treat animals when infective larvae are at the highest number on the pasture to maximize environmental refugia. This typically occurs when temperature and humidity are high.
- When practical, weigh animals to avoid under-dosing anti-parasitic drugs.
- Maintain adequate treatment records and egg-count reduction results to use in treatment and culling decisions.

15 Crowd-Pleasing Potluck Recipes
Recipe Roundup
The school or office potluck is always an interesting opportunity to see what your coworkers and schoolmates like to cook and eat. It can also be high-pressure — what should you take? We're here to help! From side dishes to salads to sweets, here are 15 dishes that will complement any potluck.
When it comes to potlucks, especially ones where the main dish is provided (like the ubiquituous spring cookout, burgers, buns, and Boca provided), we think that you can never go wrong with a salad, like a crisp cabbage slaw or a white bean salad with roasted vegetables. Or go homestyle and crowd-pleasing with a cheesy rice casserole, or a fresh potato salad with herbs. And of course there's always the dessert table: We've thrown in some favorite potluck desserts here, like dulce de leche bars and spiced rice krispie treats. Read on for these and other favorite potluck recipes from our archives.
Each of these recipes has attributes that makes it good for a potluck. Some, like the cheesy Tex-Mex rice, are just straight-up crowd-pleasers. Others, like the meatballs, are easy to serve in small portions. And others, mainly the salads, fill the vegetable and salad gap often found at potlucks. It's always nice to have another fresh, vegetarian dish that is focused on vegetables.
• 1 Cheesy Tex-Mex Rice
• 2 Mediterranean Turkey Meatballs with Herbed Yogurt Sauce
• 3 Chicken (or Tofu!) and Wild Rice Salad
• 4 Potato Salad with Yogurt, Arugula, and Dill
• 5 Roasted Eggplant Salad with Smoked Almonds and Goat Cheese
• 6 Sesame Cabbage Salad
• 7 Meyer Lemon Grain Salad with Asparagus, Almonds and Goat Cheese
• 8 White Bean and Roasted Vegetable Salad
• 9 Tri-Color Slaw with Lime Dressing
• 10 Winter Wheat Berry Salad with Figs and Red Onion
• 11 Cinnamon Walnut Dulce de Leche Bars
• 12 Life-Changing Vegan Thumbprints
• 13 No-Bake Lemon Cream and Coconut Icebox Cupcakes
• 14 Halfway Cookies
• 15 Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats

Everything looks great EXCEPT that sesame cabbage salad. It looks so pale and lifeless! I love napa cabbage salad with peanuts, but I always add shredded carrot (and sometimes apple) for extra color. Otherwise it just looks depressing.
great post, you are my hero.... thanks :)
@vintagejenta I know!! That's an old post - pre-DSLR and Photoshop. But don't let the photo turn you off; that is still one of my all-time favorite salads.
How about a vegetarian (but very satisfying) deep mushroom pie.
And some potatoes baked with sofrito and fennel is always popular as a side dish.
And I make dulce de leche blondies, too!
Or for something a little different, how about oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and chocolate covered ginger!
Some of the offerings are so laden with great flavors and intensity (like the desserts, for example) it doesn't leave much room for other offerings on the plate. I love trying almost anything/everything at a pot luck but get bummed when people try to outdo each other with intense richness.
But of course it's really fun trying out new things, too!!
Our pot luck dinners in Ithaca, NY, are amazing...there's always super healthy and tasty food in abundance.
Oh, and a simple salad that's stunning in color and almost always gets devoured: edamame, black beans, chopped: red and yellow peppers, red onion, grated garlic, tomato, celery and almonds. Herbs and spices of your choice. Slathered and held together with Greek yog.
Vesla, that sounds similar to one of my favorite summer salads--diced tomatoes and red onions, black beans, corn, and cilantro. Toss it with a light balsamic vinaigrette, and voila! delicious, super light, and so easy. It tastes better the longer it sits, so it's a great make-ahead dish too. My meat-and-potatoes husband will chow down on this with tortilla chips and call it a meal!
I tried the meatball recipe-great flavor and simple to make. Thanks!
These look good! Ill probably make one for a bridal shower I'm attending next month where I know the MOH is vegan

Why Cable TV in National Mine, MI
CableTV.com loves everything about cable TV in National Mine. Here are some reasons why we think you will too. Cable is reliable in bad weather. With hundreds of HD channels, movies and On Demand titles, there is always something entertaining to watch. It's easier to install, particularly in homes with more than one television. And when you bundle it with high-speed internet, you get a fast internet connection, one low monthly bill, and can save up to $400 every year. Plus cable is:
Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
How National Mine Watches TV
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Cable Internet in National Mine, MI
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many National Mine residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Michigan grew to 66% by 2010.

It's a question I get every day, and not just from customers. Friends and family think I've lost my marbles when they see my twenty thousand plus old magazine article collection, and if you just look at the space it takes up - You may be right.
But the truth is old magazine articles offer a unique view point on historic events. Over the past seven years I have sold nearly twenty thousand magazine articles here on eBAY. Many have gone to museums, historians, scientific researchers, libraries, and even to some really neat collections - like: The White House Historical Society, The Royal Museum in Jamaica, the Fort George Historical Society through a presentation from the local boy scouts, the Fort Sill Museum, and to various castles in Europe (for articles and illustrations dealing with them).
Here are just some of the reasons you may want to consider collecting historical magazine articles -
Often times they are the only source of information on a particular subject or person.
Unique perspective. Especially during the Civil War, many articles were reported and written as they were taking place. As a result, the info may not be 100% accurate, but they give a great flavor for what was happening at the time.
Awesome pictures. Harper's Monthly, Scribner's, Harper's Weekly all offer awesome woodcut illustrations of events and characters. Unless you know where to look for them, most people would never find them. Around the turn of the century Munsey's Magazine was one of the great periodicals offering 100's of illustrations of kings, queens, soldiers, president, expositions, and other events of the day.
Family history. A lot of times we are able to hook people up with articles written directly about their famous, and not so famous relatives. Other times the articles fill in information on how distant relatives lived, or the events they participated in - battles, coal mining, religious movements. You name it, and someone in the past wrote about it.
Teaching Aids. It's one thing to talk about Johnny Appleseed to your third grade class. How about if you enhance the experience by reading an 1870's Harper's article on Johnny written during his lifetime, illustrated with woodcuts of the man.
Historical Research. Any event you can think of was written about in many of the graphic magazines from the 1800's. They offer a great sampling of perspectives for researchers, writers, and publishers. The pictures also bring life to many drab historical characters.
Fun. It's interesting reading. Fact filled. And fun.
Great Gifts. Do you have a fan of the old west. What could be more interesting than an 1867 article filled with illustrations of Wild Bill Hickcok. Is your husband, or son a civil war re-enactor or enthusiast - How about an 1865 article full of illustrations on Sherman's March to the Sea, and the Burning of Atlanta. Are Indians your thing - 1863 saw a great article covering the Indian Uprising in Minnesota. If you lean more to the Spanish American War, there are hundreds of articles out there covering every battle and player involved.
Trust me. No one can read just one. Once you start your collection, you are going to wonder why it took so long to get started.
