JM: You must have been doing some civic things. You said, is that when you got involved with the Masons?
DP: I uh, Damn, I'm ashamed of myself now. I can't even tell when I joined the Masons. '62?
JP: No
DP: No?
JP: We just barely got married in '62. I don't remember what year you became a Mason. You worked very hard in it. He was secretary over there from . . .
DP: Fifteen years
JP: Yeah
JM: Originally, the Masons were up at Holbrook or Winslow or someplace.
DP: Well, they're still there, yeah.
JM: Were you going there when they moved down?
DP: No, huh uh, we started at this Lodge here, yeah.
JM: Do you know Hal Butler?
DP: Oh yeah! Yeah.
JM: He told me that he was involved when it was up there as well.
DP: Yeah, in Holbrook, yeah, but he, Hal belongs here.
JP: I'm trying to remember when you became a Mason.
DP: I was Grand Master in 1990.
JM: That was 17 years ago.
DP to JP: '72?
JP: It might have been in the '70s
DP: Yeah, I think it was in '72 when I went in. A real dear friend of mine by the name of Jim Clark, J.R. Clark, he lives in Albuquerque. They lived over there in New Mexico. Anyway, when my dad died he had a Masonic service. I wasn't a Mason then.
JM: But your dad was.
DP: Yeah, and so they had Masons out of Silver City and Masons out of Magdalena did the Masonic service for him, you know. And so when it was all over we -- my sister-in-law, my oldest brother and his wife, they had kind of a family meeting, like after a funeral, you know. And so this friend ours, J.R. Clark. All of us Porter boys were lined up out on the. It was in wintertime but the weather wasn't too bad. But anyway, we were out there along the fence, you know. And he walked up to us and he said, "You dirty bunch of so-and-sos!" And boy, I just stopped like that. "You ought to be ashamed of yourselves!" And I don't know whether it was my oldest brother or next to him. He said, "What the hell do you mean?" He said, "There at that burial for you dad. That was old brother Masons from Silver City and Magdalena came down here to give him a Masonic burial and there wasn't a damned one of you there with an apron on." So I got one pretty quick! Yeah.
JM: How do you become a Mason? Can you just join up or do you have to be sponsored, or what?
DP: Well, you have to ask. At least, that's the way it used to be. I'm not real sure anymore. You don't solicit. You become a Mason on your own free will and accord. You ask for an application and, you know, they investigate you. They don't do near as good a job nowadays as they used to.
JM: What's the difference between a Mason and a Shriner?
DP: The Shrine does a lot of good. You know, I give them credit for that. And I probably shouldn't say this, but when you become a Shriner, you lose a lot of Masonry. That's my opinion only. You know, I don't have.
JM: It's just different.
DP: Well, you know they do an awful lot, cripple children's hospitals and things like that. They do a lot of good. But I could never be a Shriner.
JM: Well, I guess you don't have to be; you can be what you want to be.
DP: That's right, that's right, yeah. Master Mason, that's as far as I'm concerned that's the highest degree in Masonry is when you become a Master Mason.
JM: Well, there have been some great men in the United States that were Masons.
DP: Oh you bet, yeah, you bet.
JM: I think George Washington was one, wasn't he?
DP: Sure was! You betcha
JM: Was Benjamin Franklin one?
DP: Yep he was.
JM: I thought so, I wasn't sure.
DP: Have you ever been back East to Washington Memorial? We've been fortune enough to see. When I was Grand Master we did a lot of traveling, didn't we, Dear?
JM: That kept you busy?
DP: Oh yeah, well, we ran a business and
JM: Did you have family? Did you have kids too?
JP: We had one boy.
DP: Yeah
JM: What's his name?
JP: Michael Allen
JM: Is he here in this area?
JP: He's in New York
JM: Oh, my gosh!
DP to JP: Have you got a picture of him?
JP: It's right here, Honey.
DP: I was wondering about the other two also.
JP: There's his five boys.
JM: Nice guy! He had five boys?
JP: Yes
JM: Why, he kept the family tradition going here, huh?
DP: He inherited three of them and then he had twins.
JP: He inherited two! Dear! He had Matthew
JM: These two look like the mother here. Are those the ones that he inherited?
JP: No, these two little creeps right down here.
JM: Oh! Those are the twins though aren't they?
JP: And this boy is from his first wife, then he adopted these two.
JM: Okay, are they related? I mean they look alike.
JP: They're brothers.
JM: I mean they look like her.
JP: Yeah, they're her children
JM: Okay, you said adopted. Well, it's a nice mix! All boys.
JP: He's sure done a good job with them, I'll tell you. This boy here, we've been praying and carrying on. He has lymphoma.
DP: We about lost him.
JP: He just got out last Sunday, out of the hospital, and he has to take chemotherapy treatments. A pretty good guy!
JM: Yes, it looks like a good family. So you raised your boy here in Show Low and he went to Show Low High School and all that?
DP: Yep
JP: He was an
DP: All-star catcher. State
JP: State
DP: Allstate catcher
JM: Sports! Were you into sports too?
JP: My dad was.
DP: Her dad was. He almost made what? Tried out for the Cardinals, wasn't he?
JM: Did your son go to college?
JP: He started at Prescott and he and his girlfriend had Matthew, and they got married. And then they got a divorce. We belong to the Mail Carriers Association and we took him everywhere we went and to all the national meetings, and he met this girl from New York. Her dad was a member of the Mail Carriers. And they got married and had had those two boys. Now he has one graduated from Tempe last year and he's got one graduating. My son's going to New Mexico . . .
JM: That's an investment! All those tuitions!
DP: Yep
JP: He works for his father-in-law. He's a mail carrier also.
DP: Something that is really interesting, you know, was in 1967 a huge snowstorm. Have you heard people talk about that? Sixty-seven inches in Show Low. Snow piled down the middle of the streets, you know? About 15 feet high, and you couldn't see even a tractor-trailer on the other side of that pile of snow.
JM: I'll bet it was fun hauling the mail then!
DP: Yeah
JP: We'd get up every morning and all the trucks were stuck.
JM: Did it just dump all at once?
JP: No, it snowed for two weeks.
DP: Yeah, about two weeks. Oh God, it was terrible. My wife and I took the first bread into Winslow and Holbrook after 10 days of no bread.
JP: He had been working around the clock for days and days. And so we went to Globe and got it. They brought it to Globe. And he couldn't drive any longer. So I steered the truck and he shifted when I needed.
JM: Oh, my gosh! You're coming up through the Salt River Canyon?
DP: Yep, right there in the Salt River Canyon!
JM: In all that snow and ice? Oh!
JP: We went to Winslow like that. He'd shift and I was in the driver's seat. He was worn out. He was so tired.
JM: You were hauling bread? Why bread instead of mail?
JP: Well, they hired us to take the bread because we had a big enough truck. That was besides the mail. That was just the (giggles).
DP: Yeah, we done it all.
JP: We hauled all the papers up here too.
DP: Yeah
JM: So Winslow and Holbrook was snowed in as bad, because that's, well that was before Highway 40, right? It was just Route 66. The trains from there? You would think that they would be more accessible than Show Low!
JP: Yeah, you would have thought it, but they didn't have any bread 10 days wasn't it? I can't remember.
JM: And those little old ladies couldn't remember how to make bread?
DP: Well, you know they had, the stores, they kind of rationed stuff on their own, you know. We had Nicks
JM: Nick's Market, yeah?
JP: Nick's Market and Kings Market.
DP: Nick's Market and Kings Market -- that was it!
JP: We had drivers staying in our home that couldn't get home. It was awful!
DP: The next I say here to talk about is Show Low City Park. They first had commissioners.
JM: Right, there was like five of them, wasn't there?
DP: I went to Washington D.C. to see about getting, you know where the City Park is out here now? Yeah, I grew up over in New Mexico and one of the families over there, well they had been involved with the Forest Service for a long time. Anyway this one, of the Schneider family. I went to Washington DC and I convinced the United States Forest Service, in particular, the head forester, Bill Schneider. He was the head forester of the whole Forest Service of the United States. He came from Reserve, New Mexico. I convinced Head Forester Bill Schneider to make a land exchange so we could obtain the City Park land. That's how come we got that part out there. And we, you might say we stole it, you know, really.
JM: Okay! You might say that?
DP: Because they had to have equal acreage, you know? So there was a piece of land out, do you know before you get to Pinedale?
JM: Oh, I would say, you should give them Clay Springs! I'd give them Clay Springs!
DP: Yeah! But anyway, they had a, there was a piece of land out there that they would swap, acre for acre. And so that's, I forget now, do you remember how much we had to pay for that? It almost made me feel bad, because we stole it, really you might say.
JM: Well, they probably saw it that it was inevitable that Show Low was going to be growing.
DP: But we got that, I got that piece of land out there and we had an even swap. We got Show Low City Park for that land out there by Clay Springs/Pinedale.
JM: Probably the stuff that the Rodeo-Chedeski burned up.
DP: Well, we uh, talk about that Rodeo-Chedeski. We'd been carrying the mail from Show Low to Cibecue since 1962, and the guy that set that fire. The Indian that set it, they caught up there by the rodeo grounds at Cibecue and then the Chedeski part was set by this camper. She set a fire to try to get their attention? She got their attention all right? What was it, 365,000 acres something or other that?
JP: It was awful
JM: So did they put you on the Commission, or did they?
DP: I don't even, let's see, who was it that talked me into running? We each had a you know, certain. . .
JM: Something that you were over. I see.
JP: Yes
DP: Yeah
JM: You got their attention by working on the Park.
DP: Uh hum, yeah I was
JM: That's a nice park. People use it a lot.
DP: Yeah, it is, yeah. I served on the City Council for 8 years, the last 2 as mayor of Show Low. I improved the water and sewer system and improved streets when funds were available.
JM: And this was in the 60's or 70's?
DP: Uh, later 60s. I don't know, a period there of several years. I along with other citizens built the Little League and Senior League parks. APS furnished the poles and Buck Sumerlin, have you ever heard that name? Sumerlin? They still live here in town, did the wiring. Are you familiar with the park out here?
JM: Uh huh
DP: Do you know down below where the ball field is there? Anyway, I can't think of that guy's name that laid all those blocks for us. You know, we did all that with – you know you'd ask somebody it they would help you out and they would. There were only two enemies I made. I won't mention any names, but there were two women. I coached their kids. They'd come along the first baseline, you know. We had a fence but they'd, and they'd bitch and holler and bitch and holler. And finally, one day I told them. I said, "You know what?" I went down there. "If you're so damned smart, you just get your asses up there and you manage that team and you practice them and everything." I said, "I'm clear up to here with you! Either do something or get the hell out of here!"
JM: And take your kids with you! So you were an umpire or you were a coach?
DP: Yeah
JM: And you coached baseball, or softball, I mean?
DP: Baseball
JM: Baseball
DP: Uh hum. I, along with other citizens, built the Little League and Senior League parks. APS furnished the poles and Buck Sumerlin did the wiring. Mr. Henry Freeze put in many, many hours overseeing the park, games, umpires and anything else that we needed. He was a Mexican fellow, wasn't he?
JP: He was Mexican. His business was carpet. He sold carpet and laid it.
DP: Yeah, but I wanted to get his name in there because he did . . .
JM: Over and above
DP: Yeah, he sure did! Yeah, he and Buck Sumerlin also. APS, we did a little arm-twisting. They brought poles up and set them.
JM: That's a major expense.
DP: Yeah, and Buck climbed up there and did all the wiring. That was a community effort. Then I followed Dave Foil as mayor, and Joy Harding followed me as first lady mayor, first and only, I guess. See, they live right behind.
JM: Right behind you! Did she live there then? Have you lived here a long time?
JP: No. Well, since 1990
JM: Oh! Well, that's a while, 17 years.
JP: Yeah, that's true. We were behind our business many years, White Mountain Passenger Lines.
JM: Off of Hall
DP: Yep, this house sat back down there behind the . . .
JM: Oh this it? You moved it up here. Wow, that solves that problem, huh?
DP: And we added to it, you know.
JM: Yeah, its very comfortable looking.
DP: Do you know Joy Harding?
JM: No. She's down in Mesa, you say? They winter there?
JP: They're down there now. It's a beautiful home here.
DP: Yeah, they're good neighbors, really good neighbors. Joy and I had that connection there with the City.
JM: Was she on the Council before as well?
DP: Yeah
JM: I'm not sure how they make mayors here.
DP: Well, it used to be, you know, you let everybody run for Council, then the Council would elect the mayor, see. But now, then they . . .
JP: That was just since Fernau, isn't it?
JM: Just since Fernau?
JP: Yeah, just since him, I think.
DP: Yeah, yeah I think so.
JP: That they elect the mayor?
DP: Yeah, elect the mayor. I liked the other way better, myself.
JM: Were the Council knew they were going to get somebody they could work with.
DP: Yeah
JM: And then there's the City Manager, too, right?
DP: Yeah, who was our first City Manager, do you know? The mayor was the manager.
JM: Were you the manager as well?
DP: Oh yeah, yeah when I was . . .
JP: The boss
DP: Boss! Yeah! I think it's a mistake, myself, but anyway, a lot of people aren't going to agree with this, but I think Show Low and its citizens were happier, safer and more prosperous than we are today.
JM: I don't know what the idea is for keeping it with no industry up here. What's the idea, just to make it a retirement community?
DP: I guess! We sure don't have any industry!
JM: You have to bring your own money to live here.
DP: Yeah, we fortunate. We have
JP: Yeah, we were boss!
JM: Yeah! Nobody could fire you! Well, the U.S. Government, I guess, but.
JP: We put in the hours though.
DP: You bet!
JP: 6 to 6:30
JM: It's good that you both worked it together so. You wouldn't have made it otherwise. So, did you learn to drive the big rigs -- other than with him shifting?
JP: I drove; I helped him out, you know. And when the boys that signed up to go to the Service, he'd take a bus and I'd take a car. I had a mail route too, I had from here to what was it? Forest?
DP: Forestdale
JM: Forestdale? Down the road here?
JP: On the Rim. Yeah, I went to Cibecue, just . . .
JM: You said it was White Mountain Passenger Lines, so that's the one that – isn't there still one running?
JP: Uh huh
JM: That's the one that goes down to Whiteriver and circles.
JP: They don't have as many routes as we did.
JM: There's a route that came up from Globe. That's how you came to Show Low from Globe on the bus, wasn't it.
JP: On the truck, double-seated truck.
JM: No, I mean for passengers.
JP: Oh, well we had uh, passengers rode that double-seated truck.
JM: Did they really?
DP: Oh yeah
JP: Oh, we had a big truck! And it had two seats, and we could haul. Then we had a route that went from, you know, here to Phoenix, on in to Phoenix.
JM: You ran the truck too, hauling the mail too.
JP: It was on a van. We had a bunch of seats.
DP: I did a rough estimate here not too long ago that the best that I can figure is I've got over 6 million miles and not a chargeable accident.
JM: That's great!
DP: Yeah
JM: That is great. That's very fortunate.
DP: Did you look at my Bible over there?
JM: No, this big one?
DP: Yeah, that's my Porter Family Bible.
JM: Oh! It's got all the skinny in it.
DP: You look in there. It goes way back to
JM: It looks like an old one all right.
DP: Oh, it is! Yeah.
JM: Let's see, I'll have to look between Malachi and Matthew to get the good stuff. I shouldn't say that, it's all good stuff.
DP: Look in the front.
JM: So you go to a church?
DP: Well, not as often as we should. My wife's a Baptist and I was kind of a Methodist, you know, so we, but we consider ourselves Christians. Look at some of those signatures.
JM: Oh yeah, yep, those are, it goes and goes and goes! 1803! Wow! And that's on your mother's side – there's Cook, not Camp, but Cook. You could have been a Cook! It doesn't say where though, that would have been an important thing.
DP: They all migrated out here from North Carolina and Tennessee, my dad's. My mother's, oh let's see, New Mexico, over around Roswell and in there.
JM: So when they all came, they came a big extended family came?
DP: Well, the Porters, my Grandpa and Grandma Porter came out. I think they were about the only ones that came out. My grandmother on my mother's side, Grandma Gamble, she had a boardinghouse at Lincoln.
JM: In New Mexico? Lincoln County?
DP: The town of Lincoln, you know. Anyway, she ran this boarding house and served a couple meals a day, you know, like maybe breakfast and supper I guess. Of course, nobody had dinner then, you know, it was just
JM: Supper!
DP: Breakfast, dinner and supper, you know! Grandma Gamble used to tell the story about she had uh. You've heard about Billy the Kid haven't you?
JM: I was going to ask you that! He's famous for Lincoln, New Mexico!
DP: Yeah! Right yeah!
JM: Yes, 1885 I think
DP: Well, she, yeah, see uh, she served him meals!
JM: I'll bet she did. I'll bet he came and went there. She knew that other guy too, uh, what was his name that shot him? Garrett! Pat Garrett!
DP: Yeah, Pat Garrett! He was the sheriff.
JM: He was the one that shot Billy the Kid.
DP: Yeah!
JM: So he was the sheriff of that area so she knew him too!
DP: Yeah! Grandma, she served meals see, because she'd lost her, Indians had killed her husband. She was at Roswell and her husband had gone out hunting or whatever. Anyway, he never did come back. His horse came back and then they figured it out that the Indians had got him. So she opened this boarding house. She told the story about, I think she was feeding six guys. She had seven pork chops on, you know. So, she served beans and some kind of meat, you know, and of course, biscuits and all this stuff. Anyway, she told the story about this. In the summertime it was kind of warm and she had the windows open. Everybody was eating and there was one pork chop left on the plate. So the wind blew the lamp out and when they lit the lamp and one guy had six forks in his hand! (Laughter)
JM: He grabbed and they stabbed!
DP: What else can I tell you about?
JM: What else is there?
JP: The Board of Directors of the Mail Carriers Association. He is Sectional Director. He is over 8 states, right? And he had to make these presentations twice a year, Spring and Winter/Fall. And he would have to go to these meetings, state meetings.
JM: Like all over the West Coast someplace? Was it West Coast?
DP: Mountain area
JM: Mountain area?
DP: Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico.
JP: Maybe it was 6, okay. We done a lot of travel for the organization and then he was working his way up to be Grand Master all over the country. We had a, we really had a good life. I mean we just!
JM: Yeah, you were travelers! Even when you were home you were traveling.
JP: I guess! I don't know how we did it all.
JM: And you're still doing it too, huh? So, you retired from being the mayor.
DP: Oh, yeah, I haven't been on the Council for a long time.
JM: I learned something about you! When you became the mayor, then that was when David Foil was running for reelection and you tied. And the story is that you played the card game again? The Show Low card game that, and we see that the winner wasn't Foil, so it must have been you!
DP: Show low and take it!
JM: So you pulled the low card! Was it a deuce?
DP: Deuce of clubs! (Laughter)
JM: It really was! Oh, my gosh! That's so unique for Show Low, you know, to solve problems!
DP: Oh yeah! Yeah, Dave and I, we've been friends for a long, long time.
JM: So, what are some of the other things that you did as Mayor, considering that you were running a full time job on the side?
DP: My wife could probably tell you more than I could.
JP: They'd knock on the door.
JM: They knew where you lived.
JP: When he was boss, they all had their little troubles. He'd have to straighten them out, you know.
JM: How many people were working for the City at that time?
DP: I don't know, but we had the City Hall up there.
JP: Up where the Museum is, wasn't it up in that building?
DP: Yeah, yeah
JM: Oh! Okay! One side was the City and the other was the County Courthouse.
DP: That was City Hall.
JM: Oh, where you had the jail in the back.
DP: We had a City Attorney. I won't mention any names. He couldn't, uh. I believe in education, you know. I'm thoroughly not against education. He was an attorney, you know. The Council had very plainly told him what he was to do and what he wasn't to do, okay? Because he thought that, being as he was an attorney, and us a bunch of honkeys, you know, like us, didn't know much. Finally, I got a belly full of it. I told him, I said, "I want you go out. Leave the Council room, go out there in the front and write your letter of resignation." He said, "What do you mean?" I said, "Just what I said. I want a letter of resignation." So, he went back and he had a bunch of legalese in it, you know, and all that stuff. And I said, "That's not what I told you to do. I'm giving you a chance to resign. You're either going to resign or you're going to get fired! And I don't think you want that being fired on your resume." So, I said, "Go back out, bring it in again." So he still tried. I said, "Come with me." We went out and I just wrote it out for him, you know, and then I said, "Now sign that damned thing." He never did get over that, did he Dear?
JP: No
DP: Never did.
JP: It was really neat living back in the 60s-70s. Everybody knew everybody, you know. It was really neat.
JM: Yeah, let's see, we had the Paint Pony and what? We had that little place down there by the Porter House. Where else did we have that people could stay at those days?
JP: The Thunderbird?
JM: Oh, the Thunderbird, yeah. Was that always called the Thunderbird?
JP: As long as I ever knew.
JM: Oh! And Maxwell's! Maxwell House!
DP: Yeah Maxwell House
JP: And the Kiva Motel. We had some good friends that owned that.
JM: Do you remember when Mohammed Ali was here?
DP: Oh, yes!
JM: That's one of those things I ask people. "Do you remember when?" And they always have some story on encountering him – like in the middle of the night running down the road or something.
DP: I was Mayor when he was here.
JM: Oh! Okay! He was only up here for about, was it weeks or months that he was training?
DP: Uh, he wasn't here but . . .
JP: Just weeks, I think
JM: Was he Cassius Clay or was he Mohammed Ali?
DP: Cassius Clay, I believe, yeah, I think so, yeah.
JM: People say he'd run down to the airport. I guess he had a place where he worked out there and then he'd run back. Oh, who was it, (Larry) Whipple told me that he almost ran over him making a turn out of Old Linden Road and almost ran into him. He was just running up the road.
DP: My favorite was Winkie. We used to do a lot of cooking together, Winkie and I did.
JM: Dutch Ovens?
DP: Yeah, Dutch oven and Deep-pit barbequing and stuff, you know. All my Dutch ovens are over in New Mexico.
JM: Oh! That's a safe place. (Laughter) Hey! That's what Grumpy Jake's is about, isn't it? That's fabulous food!
DP: Well, I've got uh
JP: Chicken dinners over here in the Dutch oven – and biscuits!
JM: Over at the Masons? That's good!
DP: Yep, I've got two 16" bread ovens and I've got two 12" bread ovens. Then I've got a deep 14 that I, you know, I use for stew and stuff like that. You get your coals good,
JM: Consistently hot
DP: Yeah, and you get your dough made up and cut your biscuits and put a little lard in there to where you can put your biscuit in there and flip it up and turn it over, see, to where you get . . . You know you just put enough in there to where you can put the biscuit in there and then turn it over, see. And so you've got . . .
JM: So that it's oiled.
DP: You've got oil on the bottom and the top, see. You have your bed of coals out there and you take and put your lid on your Dutch oven. Take about oh, you do about on a 16" oven, it would take about 3 good shovels of hot coals set on top, see. And then have enough there on the – I always dig a little hole, see, and put your coals in that hole. Set your oven down in there with the lid on it. And you've got your "gauncho" there -- that's what that deal that you handle.
JM: The handle that pulls it up.
DP: Look under there and you can tell how they're coming along.
JM: You have no idea what the temperature is. I mean we're all used to little thermostats, you know.
DP: Yeah, I've, boy I've cooked a many a one. Winkie Whipple and I used to have contests. And then Loy Varnell, he worked for the Indians, the Apaches, for years and years and years and years, you know. And he taught me how to, actually, how to Dutch oven cook, you know.
JM: Oh he did? Yeah, there's a knack to it.
DP: I'll tell you a story that he used to tell on me. He used Calumet and I use Clabber Girl baking powder. So, we were out at the Lodge, the Masonic Lodge. We used to have outdoor degrees a number of years ago, and what I call Buckaloo Springs. We'd do a Third Degree out there and we'd be gone about three days wouldn't we Dear? A day to get out there and a day to do the Degree and a day to get things packed up and bring back, you know. But something happened to mine. I don't know if it was my baking powder or what, but it didn't do worth a crap. I mean it was just! So ol' Loy he told this story, cooked this story up on me. He said, "Yeah, you know, one day you and that Clabber Girl baking powder." He said, "He had her all made and got those biscuits in there." He said, "They didn't raise, so he took the oven out quite a ways over there away from camp and took the lid off." He said, "He went out to get it and the squirrels, a groundhog or something, had taken the biscuits out and put horse turds in it. Dave came back to camp, and the next morning he went out there." He said, "The squirrels or chipmunks or whatever it was put the biscuits back in and took the horse turds with them." (Laughter)
JM: They were better off with the horse! Oh that's terrible!
DP: Loy really liked to
JM: Give you a bad time.
DP: He liked to tell that story. (Laughter).

People magazine says Channing Tatum is sexiest man
NEW YORK - We've mentioned it before, but we'll say it again: 2012 is definitely the year of Channing Tatum.
The 32-year-old actor is not only one of GQ's Men of the Year, but he's also been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
As predicted, the magazine has unveiled a "charming, chiseled" Channing on this week's cover, which features the "Magic Mike" actor in a casual white tank and slacks.
The low-key look fits the Alabama-raised star, who at first thought People was pulling his leg.
"I play a lot of practical jokes, so my first thought was, 'Y'all are messing with me,'" he said. "I told [my wife] Jenna after we'd been in the bathtub washing our dogs because they'd gotten skunked. She was like, 'What?!'"
Yes, this sexy man is taken -- he married his "Step Up" co-star Jenna Dewan in 2009.
And while his wife is enjoying her husband's rep -- Channing can't quite bring himself to say it, but Jenna's taken to calling him "the Sexiest Man Alive," because who wouldn't? -- she tells People that he's far more than just a ripped physique.
"People know him to be fun and sexy, but they don't know how emotionally deep and spiritually open he is," the 31-year-old actress, who recently appeared on "American Horror Story," told the magazine. "He is such an open-hearted person; what you see is what you get."
Channing, who's had a busy year with back-to-back lead roles in "The Vow," "21 Jump Street" and "Magic Mike," is now training to portray an Olympic wrestler in 2013's "Foxcatcher." And in his spare time, it sounds like he's also working on expanding his family.
"I'm ready; I think she's ready. It's more about trying to find the right time," Channing said of having kids. "The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy and then we'll see where we go after that."

Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses), that affects birds and mammals.
The most common symptoms of the disease are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness/fatigue and general discomfort. Sore throat, fever and coughs are the most frequent symptoms.
In more serious cases, influenza causes pneumonia, which can be fatal, particularly for the young and the elderly. Although it is often confused with other influenza-like illnesses, especially the common cold, influenza is a more severe disease than the common cold and is caused by a different type of virus.
Influenza may produce nausea and vomiting, particularly in children,
Typically, influenza is transmitted through the air by coughs or sneezes, creating aerosols containing the virus. Influenza can also be transmitted by direct contact with bird droppings or nasal secretions, or through contact with contaminated surfaces.
Airborne aerosols have been thought to cause most infections, although which means of transmission is most important is not absolutely clear. As the virus can be inactivated by soap, frequent hand washing reduces the risk of infection.
Influenza spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics, resulting in the deaths of between and people every year, up to millions in some pandemic years.
On average 41,400 people died each year in the United States between 1979 and 2001 from influenza.
Three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century and killed tens of millions of people, with each of these pandemics being caused by the appearance of a new strain of the virus in humans.
Often, these new strains appear when an existing flu virus spreads to humans from other animal species, or when an existing human strain picks up new genes from a virus that usually infects birds or pigs.
An avian strain named H5N1 raised the concern of a new influenza pandemic, after it emerged in Asia in the 1990s, but it has not evolved to a form that spreads easily between people.
In April 2009 a novel flu strain evolved that combined genes from human, pig, and bird flu, initially dubbed "swine flu" and also known as influenza A/H1N1, emerged in Mexico, the United States, and several other nations.
The World Health Organization officially declared the outbreak to be a pandemic on June 11, 2009. The WHO's declaration of a pandemic level 6 was an indication of spread, not severity, the strain actually having a lower mortality rate than common flu outbreaks.
Vaccinations against influenza are usually given to people in developed countries and to farmed poultry.
The most common human vaccine is the trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) that contains purified and inactivated material from three viral strains. Typically, this vaccine includes material from two influenza A virus subtypes and one influenza B virus strain.
The TIV carries no risk of transmitting the disease, and it has very low reactivity. A vaccine formulated for one year may be ineffective in the following year, since the influenza virus evolves rapidly, and new strains quickly replace the older ones.
Antiviral drugs can be used to treat influenza, with neuraminidase inhibitors being particularly effective.
The word ''Influenza'' comes from the Italian language meaning "influence" and refers to the cause of the disease; initially, this ascribed illness to unfavorable astrological influences.
Changes in medical thought led to its modification to ''influenza del freddo'', meaning "influence of the cold".
The word ''influenza'' was first used in English in 1743 when it was adopted, with an anglicized pronunciation, during an outbreak of the disease in Europe.
Archaic terms for influenza include ''epidemic catarrh'', ''grippe'' (from the French), ''sweating sickness'', and ''Spanish fever'' (particularly for the 1918 flu pandemic strain).

If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software update is available. Control Modes: The iPod interface adapter features the following control modes. Playlist Mode: You can create up to 5 favorite mobile playlist then use your radio's CD changer controls to access and control your playlist. Direct Mode: Gives you complete control of your iPod while it is connected to the factory radio. Your iPod is not locked out while connected to the radio and you are able to manually access your complete iPod content. The Radio still can adjust song up/down random or shuffle play but you can manually control your iPod and select any playlist, genre or Artist of your choice. Dual Mode: Combines features of Direct Mode and Playlist Mode. You can create and access your favorite mobile playlist or directly access all your iPod content manually on your iPod. Your iPod displays song title information and iPod is not locked, so the iPod can be operated manually at all times. (Referred to as "Hybrid Mode" in manual.) App Streaming (in Direct Mode): Direct mode also lets you listen to the sound from your iPhone's downloaded music apps (such as Pandora, iHeart Radio, SiriusXM, etc.) through your factory head unit & speakers. You will continue to control your iPhone's apps & view song/artist information from its touchscreen. Note: Your iPhone will need an active Data Plan account with connection to the Internet via 3G, EDGE, or WiFi. You will also need applicable music service accounts. Playlist Names: In order for the adapter/factory radio to recognize a playlist, it should be named VOLVO1... through VOLVO5... Text can follow the Volvo name and number, such as VOLVO3_artistname or VOLVO2-jazz. For a given disc slot (1-5), if there is no playlist named VOLVO followed by that number, that disc slot will play the first available playlist on the iPod (the second blank slot will play the second available playlist, etc). Auxiliary Input: In addition to the iPod input on the PA11-VOL there is an auxiliary input (RCA) for use with another source, such as a DVD system, satellite radio, etc. The aux input is accessed at disc 6 track 1 using the factory radio controls. This aux input can be used with or without the iPod connected. When using the aux input in the Playlist Mode, the Play All mode is moved to the Disc 5 slot and the VOLVO5 custom playlist is lost. Playlist Mode Controls: In Playlist Mode the iPod is controlled using the CD Changer commands on the factory radio. Use the Radio's Disc Select controls to access the 5 custom mobile playlists, the Play All mode, or the auxiliary input. Track select, forward and backward, works just like on a CD. Other commands include shuffle play, scan (plays first 10 seconds of each track), Fast Track Search (skips forward or backward 10 tracks), and Fast Forward/Fast Reverse within a song (available in shuffle mode only). Battery Charge: The PA11-VOL charges iPod battery when connected. Charging stops after 1 hour of non-use to prevent draining the vehicle's battery. CD Changer Port: The adapter uses the factory radio's CD Changer port so if the vehicle has an existing outboard CD Changer it must be disconnected. Pause: When a non-iPod source is selected on the radio (AM/FM/Cass/CD) the iPod pauses. Resume: If the iPod is not disconnected after use, it will resume playing where it left off when you restart the vehicle.

I purchased this because I didn't like the standard faceplate/pocket options available for my Volvo s60. There was no option to use a double DIM radio nether. The iPod interface allows me to either use the headphone jack in my phone OR connect to my iPhone 4s and charge it while listening to music. The iPod interface works well and has a great sound especially using the iPod cable. Also allows me to use steering wheel controls! Pros: Sounds great Steering wheel controls work Cons: Still not Bluetooth Slightly pricy considering I can get a real nice stereo for the same price Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Product! Written By Anonymous, Reno, NV on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 Great product! Really easy to install either to the glove box or the center console. I installed this device in my 2007 Volvo xc70 through the center console. It works great with my stock Hu-650 Volvo radio. Just drilled a small hole at the bottom of the glove box to route the cable through. I am impressed on how great the sound quality is. It made my great sound system even better. I am also happy that it works well with my iPhone 5s running ios7. All I needed was a 30 pin to lightning adapter. Super easy to use and beats any other auxiliary or fm transmitter out there. I would give it five stars if it displayed the song info. Otherwise this is a great buy and anyone that doesn't have an auxiliary port or wants to charge their phone while it plays the music should buy this device. Pros: Sound Quality Easy Installation Charges your phone Easy to navigate Cons: No song display information 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I installed one of these in an '04 S60 and loved it so much that when we got another, USA Spec was the only way to go. USA Spec takes a great sound system and turns it into a super , over the top HD sound system. I would have given it five stars if it were able to display track info. Pros: Over the top sound. Cons: Limited playlists and no song/artist info display. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Even better than I expected! 2001 S60 T5 Written By Ken C., Austin, Texas on Thursday, September 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have never used CrutchField before this order but I was very pleased with the ease of use and information on the website, fast shipping, the extra care they took to put their own installation instructions into the order and the fact they had installation support if they needed them (though luckily I didn't). Only recommendation I would have is that I did a lot of googling of others who have installed this product to try and learn from them and one of the most helpful items was a youtube video from a private car a/v company that walked through the installation. It'd be great of Crutchfield did the same because that made it very clear for me. I have a 2001 Volvo S60 T5 and after I got the climate control out (tricky if you've never done it before because of the brackets you can't see, after you've done it once it is easy) the installation was a snap. Hint on the bracket: after you unscrew the climate control below the unit, tilt the bottom out about 30 degree or just enough to be able to grab the unit, then pull straight out, you may need to put a screwdriver behind the top part on the sides to lever it out a bit. Overall very easy installation, even for someone like me who has never taken apart their car stereo before. Pros: Ipod connection has excellent sound quality and the aux in is a little fuzzy but definitely decent and way better than an FM transmitter. Cons: I have an iPhone 3GS so the DIP switch configurations didn't work exactly as described in the manual. The AUX one worked perfectly for me but the other one I had to switch to the opposite position before my phone worked. Since there are only 2 positions this wasn't a big deal just took some trial and error to get my particular phone working. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Master Sheet wasn't specific on radio jack and power connections, but a quick call to Tech Support on a Sunday cleared it up. Great Tech Support as always!

I found a nice place to mount the box in the front of the center console and ran the wires up the left side into the armrest through a hole I drilled.

I emailed USA SPEC yesterday asking them about it, but so far no response. As far as the periodic static that I heard (when the older iPods were in use), I'm not sure if that's an installation issue or not...even though I had it professionally installed. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good product Written By Teachernoah, Omaha, NE on Thursday, August 04, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall I am happy with this product. It was fairly easy to install (I am a complete amateur). The things sounds great in my xc70. The only complanint I have is that the cable that you attach to the head unit needs to be a foot or so longer. As it is it limits the places you can install the unit. It is not bad but another 12 inches sure would have made things easier. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Works fine, poor documentation, no installation guide Written By Russ C, Portland, OR on Tuesday, February 08, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The unit works as advertised. I have installed similar iPod interface products before. This is comparable in function, quality and ease of installation. Installation in my 2002 Volvo S40 took about two hours. The operating instructions are poorly-translated from Japanese. It takes some time to understand them. Crutchfield provided no installation guide, which was disappointing. They usually do better than that, and that is one of the reasons I buy from them. I could have paid less elsewhere for the same product without an installation guide. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Product - Easy Install Written By RobertB, Raleigh, NC on Saturday, January 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was very easy to install and the sound quality is excellent. Crutchfield provided very detailed instructions for getting into the Volvo dash for connecting the interface. I did call to ask which wires should be used for power and ground. The Crutchfield help person told me exactly which ones and gave good suggestions for getting the wires attached. Besides liking the very high sound quality you get from connecting directly to the radio via the external cd changer plug, I also chose this item for safety reasons. I have a young driver and like that you can use the existing Volvo remote controls on the steering wheel to skip to the next song on the ipod and adjust the volume. A big plus. It also charges the ipod which is nice. One hint, don't ignore the warning about disconnecting the vehicle battery first. I didn't and when I disconnected the climate control wiring harness, it tripped the airbag warning. Had to take it to the dealer for a reset. Fortunately, they didn't charge for it since there was other work to be done. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This is the second USA iPod interface that I have installed and it was just as simple as the first, which is in my '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The instructions from Crutchfield made removing the radio simple and the unit was easy to install. I did have to make one quick trip to by some 'wiretaps' so I could tap into the power of the car so the interface would get power. Once that was done, I hit the box and replaced the radio and everything was ready to go. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Two Hours and I had my iPhone back Written By Amanda, Macon, GA on Sunday, March 28, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received the device three days after I ordered it and installed it in 2 hours. The directions that shipped with the device failed to mention the a torx T25 sized screwdriver was required for my 2005 Volvo S60. I used that tool, some electrical tape, and crimp-on connectors for the power (yellow wire to red stero wire and black wire to the brown stereo wire). It was an easy install and the sound quality is great. I use the direct access setting and control the iPod directly. I also purchased a mount to put my iPhone in reach. This setup works great for listening to Slacker or Pandora and podcasts as well as music. Great device and great service from Crutchfield as always. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Wow Factor - 2002 Volvo S60 HU-803 Written By JT, Austin, TX on Wednesday, November 04, 2009 Just installed this in my 2002 Volvo S60 with the HU-803 head unit to interface with an iPhone 3GS. The USA Spec adapter really takes advantage of the stock Volvo sound system. Bass has more oomph and the clarity at the high levels is remarkable compared to previously utilized FM transmitters. I am hearing details in the music I have not heard in years. The installation went splendidly. NOTE: Crutchfield's instructions tell you not to disconnect the radio, but you should be concerned about the climate control panel. If it is disconnected while the battery is still connected, then it will trigger a (false) issue with the SRS system requiring a ~$90 dealer charge to turn off the light. Simple fix: disconnect the battery before beginning the installation process. Then, removing the radio and climate control panel will be a non-issue. As for control, I set the DIP switches with Direct Mode enabled. While I can control the iPhone 3GS using the iPhone controls directly, a surprise was that the steering wheel controls also work. Given that the unit interfaces the radio in place of the factory installed external CD changer, song info is not displayed on the unit. Instead, DISK XX TRACK YY show up, just as normal CD playback works. Great accessory!!! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Works in my 2002 Volvo V70 Written By Anonymous, Southern California on Friday, September 18, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a 2002 Volvo XC70 with the factory HU-613 radio without navigation or an external CD changer. I have an iPhone 3GS and wanted to charge and listen at the same time, and have the system automatically mute with incoming calls, etc. This product allows all those features, though it states it is not made for this accessory when plugged into the iPhone. I opt to bypass the warning and leave the phone functions on regardless and have no issues. If my placement of the iPhone is too close to the radio, you might get a slight feedback in the audio though. Install was pretty easy, but, the Crutchfield instructions provided are very helpful in removing the radio from the dash, but there were no specific instructions in what wires to use for power or ground (red and brown, respectively). I was able to sort this out via the online forums. I used "Tap-In Squeeze Connectors". Function: Function is okay for iPhones. You have to use Direct mode, which means accessing and changing songs on the phone instead of through the radio or steering wheel buttons. This would probably drive me nuts with an iPod, but is no big deal with iPhone/iTouch. Improvements: It would be great if the song title would play over the radio, and if the control buttons on the dash worked. It would be even better if it was specifically made for iPhone and did not prompt you to go into Airplane mode when you plug it in, but overall.... Is it worth it? YES! 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Sound while keeping your factory player!! Written By Larry Mireles, Gales Ferry, CT on Saturday, November 01, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just installed and it sounds great. Make my Siruis Plug and Play and IPOD sound great!! I do alot of driving but was very happy with my factory radio and didn't want to change it out. I have Siruis and an IPOD and this solved all my problems. Very easy install and it all sounds great. You need to get a good cable for your other device if adding something with an IPOD. Worth the money and Crutchfield support great like always!! 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Product/Easy to Install Written By Kirk, Greenville, SC on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered the USA SPEC unit for my Volvo V70 and recieved it within two days, installed it that evening and was amazed at the sound quality compared to cassette tape adapter I have been using for years. Thanks for the great service and great product. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 It's doing what it's suppose to do! Written By GUY, Lakeland, FL on Sunday, August 17, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's doing what it's suppose to do! It's working great. Easy to install/setup, good instructions. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 USA Spec iPod® Interface for Volvo Written By Paul, Folsom, CA on Sunday, February 17, 2008 This is a great adapter. I purchased one for Christmas and it was defective (bad cable). I replaced it through USASpec's warranty and that took about 3 weeks. Now that it is installed I love it. The only flaw seems to be related to the random mode. I cannot "randomly" change songs using the next >> and previous << buttons on the steering wheel or the stereo. Random mode works though, you just can't skip around using the stereo controls. However you can very easily switch songs just using the ipod - which is almost just as easy. This unit pauses the song you are listening to when the car stops and picks right back off where you left off the next time the car starts. I installed this in a 2005 XC70 with the HU650 stereo. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good addition Written By Isaac, US Military in Europe on Monday, October 29, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Adding this to my 2004 S60R was easy. Took less than an hour. Only down side is that you have to have your IPOD out to see what is playing. The head unit does not display song titles. Over all, I am very satisfied with this item. I am going to install it on my wife's 2007 S60R next. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 New and Improved! Written By kevin, Connecticut on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was worried after reading the other reviews that I would have a problem modifying the plug to make it work but when I got it, I found that the manufacturer had listened to the criticisms and fixed the right angle connector. They also changed the playlist mode to a new mode called hybrid which allows you to use playlists and still have direct access to your ipod. A big plus if you plan to use the aux input. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because the instructions were not vehicle specific. I had to call up crutchfield to find out which wire was the constant power I needed to tap into (Its the red one). NOTE: I KNOW IT IS A PAIN ON VOLVOS, BUT YOU NEED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING OR YOU WILL BE SPENDING $90 AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE SRS-AIRBAG LIGHT RESET. IT HAPPENED TO ME. 14 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good interface, cable subpar Written By Matthew, Ann Arbor, MI on Thursday, June 29, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a 2002 Volvo S40, and performed this installation myself. Pretty easy due to how well the HU-615 just pops out of the dash. My major complaint with this unit seems to echo other people., in that the right angle plug is upside down, so it extends past the bottom of the head unit, making it a real chore to get back in.Sound quality has been great, charges my iPod as advertised. I have it set to direct mode instead of playlist mode because I like to have full iPod access to reach all of my playlists, and create On-the-go lists, or just to grab a specifc song. Skipping and FF/REW work as advertised. I haven't had a change to try the aux inputs yet, but if they work as well as the rest of the unit, I expect to be pleased. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 installation troubles Written By brett, los angeles, ca on Wednesday, January 18, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a 2001 V70, and I followed the instructions for the installation. I turned the car on and it worked! I did not have the problems with the right-angle connector that some others seemed to have. Everything seemed good and I was happy. Then I looked at the dashboard and it said "SRS service urgent". So be careful when you remove the radio and climate control module. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 PA11VOL for 2004 Volvo S40 with HU555 Radio Written By Steven, Alexandria VA on Thursday, December 15, 2005 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Once installed, the interface provides a very elegant interface between my Volvo and the iPod. Sound quality is excellent and the unit performs just as advertised.Installation with the HU555 radio was tricky, and similar to another reviewer required some modification to the right angle DIN connector that plugs into the factory radio. The mod was not difficult, but there are no warnings, no instructions, and neither USA SPEC nor Crutchfield were willing to advise me what needed to be modified. This is a design issue with the USA SPEC unit, but they did not indicate over the phone they had any plan to correct it. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Installed in a V40 with the HU-555 radio Written By Jeff, Lowell, MA on Tuesday, November 22, 2005 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Clear audio that works with the volume up full, no distortion. I mount the iPod in a cell-phone holder where I can reach the controls easily, so the limited playlist control wouldn't be an issue for me.My only installation problem is that the right angle DIN connector that goes into the back of the radio protrudes exactly the WRONG direction (downward) and makes it impossible to replace the radio in the dashboard with the connector in place. You need to modify it to be a straight connector to complete the install. If it were right angle upward instead, it would be perfect. (I reported this to USA-SPEC and they may have fixed it by now.) 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 What a disappointment! Written By NS, Ottawa, Canada on Monday, October 24, 2005 This product is a major disappointment. Basically, you can access 10 playlists on your Volvo - but that is it. Want to access a specific song, album, artist or genre ... forget it. The two good things about this product are that (1) you can move from one song to the next using your car stereo controls, and (2) the iPod is hidden in your armrest.My advice is to buy a spindle of blank CDs instead. You'll get the same functionality and save yourself a few hundred dollars. 5 out of 33 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 USA spec PA11-VOL Written By JaMa, Aurora, Colorado on Monday, August 15, 2005 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the PA-11 VOl for my 2004 S60R, since there is no MP3 player available for it otherwise, and I have to say I am thrilled. This thing sounds great and works as advertised. I think from a sound quality perspective it even sounds better than CDs inserted directly into the dash. I have the 4GB iPod Mini which I bought specifically for this application. The only complaint I have is that it is a *little* bit slow to change tracks and playlists, but for the amazingly cool convenience of having an MP3 player in the car that works seamlessly with the in-car controls, I am willing to wait. 2 enthusiastic thumbs up for this product. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Finally, a direct input for Volvo Written By Tim, Oakley, CA on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) What an awesome product. This unit works perfectly in my 04 S80. I'm not using an Ipod and have no desire for one. I only bought the adaptor for the "direct input" into my factory Dynaudio system. WOW, crystal clear satellite radio. My XM Roady2 is now crystal clear and "un FM modulated"! Buy this!!! I have no idea why Volvo has made it so difficult to add a direct input to their audio systems. This is the answer!My only request of Crutchfield is to get a MasterSheet developed for the S80. The climate control module can be a bit tricky to get out to access the head unit.Overall, this product gets a 10 out of 10 for me and I'm hard to please, and the first to return something if I'm the slightest bit unhappy.This adaptor was delayed from USA-Spec for a longggg time, the wait was worth it. 10 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Finally, something for the Volvo Radios Written By Jose, Westbury, NY on Monday, June 13, 2005 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been waiting for a long time to have iPod use in my early 04 Volvo S40. Thankfully USA Spec has done a great job with this adapter.Installation was straightforward, but you must purchase (or Crutchfield should start providing) one splice connection to tap into the radio's 12V constant power line. The grounding strap is easy enough, you can attach this to a screw on the back of the radio.The adapter is small enough to fit behind the climate control on the center console and I used hook and loop fasteners to secure it in place.The audio does not compare to FM transmitters... it blows them away! No static and true line out from your iPod direct to your radio. You can easily control five playlists from your exisiting radio and never have to touch the iPod. By using the included AUX input on the adapter, you will shorten your playlists to four, but I figure its a good compromise to have the added connectivity Volvo leaves out.All-in-all, a good buy in my opinion. With about an hour's installation time you can have plenty of songs to listen to while you're on the road. 34 out of 37 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked I have a Volvo XC90 2008. Will this work on this? I used to install car radio in my family car 25 years ago, so have general knowledge. How easy is it to install this? [ john Dec 19, 2013 ] 1 answer You will want to contact an Advisor by phone or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system.

"The funds have been cut for the school system and so ... one of the things that we do that is really fun has been turkey bowling. What I've done is partner with a bowling alley in Canton and they've donated real bowling pins," Miller said. "I have a couple of interns who come with me and we set up pins and a tarp and they literally roll a frozen turkey down the lane and hit the pins.
"It's hilarious and silly and just a lot of fun."
On Friday at the bus barn, along with the bowling, the event featured a potluck lunch and a drawing for two 15-pound turkeys, which were donated by the company.
"We have two bowling champions and two who win by luck through the drawing," Miller said.
The transportation department purchased a ham for the event with the proceeds raised by the annual school bus rodeo.
Director of Transportation Jody Elrod said he appreciates the work of Miller and that bus drivers deserve recognition for all the work they do throughout the year.
"We have such tremendous support from our bus drivers to our schools. The bus drivers are so dedicated to what they do," Elrod said. "They take time out of their busy schedules to come back to the school to read to students and [volunteer] and it's really amazing the things they do every day, whether it's that they'll get all the way home and then get a call from the school saying a kid has left his backpack on the bus or they've left their lunch box on the bus and without hesitation, they'll take [the student's items] back to the school in their own personal vehicle on their own personal time."
He continued, "They just do such a tremendous job for us, they're so dedicated to the job they do which is transporting our kids to and from school safely and I'm just honored to work with such a great group of people."
The transportation department currently employs about 150 bus drivers, but Elrod said more are needed. More than 100 employees and family members were in attendance.

I first had fiddlehead ferns at L'Express in Montreal -- "tetes de violins" -- delicieuse!
I was planning on making an asparagus and lemon risotto this week, but not I'm going to hold off a bit. I hope to see fiddleheads at the farmer's market this weekend (I live in Maine, but I'm too afraid to pick them myself), and THEN I'll make the risotto! Yum!
I recently made the Shaved Asparagus Pizza from Smitten Kitchen. Super delicious! (though I did sub my own pizza dough recipe the second time...liked it better than the recipe given)
oh my, I read that last dish as "abortion" pasta with asparagus, pancetta and lemon zest.....ummm, didn't sound very appetizing
I made the Smitten Kitchen pizza also-once last week and again last night. Last night, along with the shaved asparagus, I tossed in shaved green garlic + red pepper flakes. Then, when it came out of the oven I drizzled w/truffle oil + meyer lemon juice. So good!
I love the asparagus and egg combo, especially in omelette form!
I really want to try the asparagus & proscuitto spears though, looks like a perfect starter!
I just bought a bunch of asparagus yesterday to add into my version of risotto. Those asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and phyllo is a great idea!
Love asparagus in a risotto with snow peas! Or my obsession of the moment - roasting them with a little salt, pepper and olive oil. It tastes like fries but better! And works especially well on those thick stemmed ones.
Simply Recipes has a recipe for asparagus souffles that is to die for.
Another idea: Make socca (chickpea flour pancakes), laying spears of blanched asparagus in a pinwheel atop the unbaked batter. Bake as usual
