Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the RetroSound VWKPBC Kick Panel Enclosures by Charlie Pastorfield Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Old VW Beetle convertibles are cool vehicles but they weren't designed for great sound. It's particularly hard to find a good spot for aftermarket speakers, but now RetroSound offers a neat solution install their VWKPBC enclosures in your Beetle's kick panels and start rocking out. Great sound in a bug The package includes two ABS plastic enclosures and a set of RetroSound's R-652N 6-3/4" speakers. Each enclosure holds a RetroSound speaker, angled up toward your ears to create a more powerful stereo image. These speakers will work well with a factory or aftermarket radio, but they handle up to 50 watts RMS so they'll be very happy with an outboard amplifier. Compact, paintable enclosures The R652N speakers have a mounting depth of less than 1-3/4", so these enclosures don't take up a lot of space. You can paint the enclosures to match your VW's interior, and each enclosure already has a cutout for the RetroSound speaker, so they'll just pop right in. These enclosures fit in 1956-70 Beetle convertibles; they will not work in hardtop Beetles or Super Beetles.

An Agave americana — also known as a century plant, because of its long life-span — is preparing to bloom outside the 79-year-old Tracy resident's house, sending into the air a 15-foot spire that will eventually flower on the southern corner of Center Court and Cypress drives.
Churchill said Tuesday, April 23, that the succulent's stalk began to shoot up from her garden about a week earlier, climbing more than a foot each day. It's part of a blooming process that only happens after the cactus lives at least 10 years, and sometimes decades longer, according to "The Sunset Western Garden Book."
"I looked out the window — it's my daily chore at 5 o'clock in the morning — and I thought, 'Somebody put a stick in my cactus. I'm going out there to take it down,'" she said, holding her hand about four feet off the ground. "It looked like a stick to me, because it was about this high."
By Tuesday, a green spire reached higher than a nearby stop sign. But no flower yet peeked out from the shoot that could reach 40 feet in height.
"I have no idea when it will bloom," Churchill said. "Everybody keeps coming by here, looking. … They comment, and they take pictures."
Churchill, who moved to Tracy from Fremont in 1996, said it was the first time the cactus had done this since she transplanted it from a neighbor's yard in 1998. It will also be the last.
Shortly after the century plant sends out flowers, it dies.
But Churchill wasn't saddened by the prospect of losing it. She has several scions of the plant in her front-yard garden, alongside beds of golden poppies, desert primrose, hollyhock and at least six other types of cactus set amid sun-bleached rock.
"I have had people stop here and ask me if I would go and do their yards," she said. "I said no, because if I put something out here and I don't like it, I just redo it. I said, 'You don't have enough money to let me do that.'"
Churchill — who has driven a recreational vehicle across the United States, including through the cactus country of the Southwest — said she's excited to see what her front-yard prize looks like when its flowers finally open.
"I can't hardly wait till it blooms," she said. "I didn't know it bloomed — I didn't know it did this. I just thought it would keep on going, but here it is."

Tejay van Garderen won the overall, teammate Mathias Frank was runner-up and the BMC Racing Team took home the team classification Sunday to cap the USA Pro Challenge Sunday.
'I Wanted It Badly'
Van Garderen earned the second stage race victory of his professional career after taking the race lead following a runner-up finish on Thursday. He won Friday's uphill time trial in record time to increase his lead to 1:30 over Frank and 1:42 over Tom Danielson (Garmin-Sharp). That proved to be his winning margins over the pair in the race that saw him finish third overall in 2011 and runner-up last year. With the crowd in his adopted home state of Colorado chanting his name during his appearance on the podium, van Garderen said he was motivated to add another title to the one he earned in May at the Amgen Tour of California. "It feels great," he said. "I've been so close here multiple times. So to finally get the win is really amazing. This is a race that sometimes is hard to be motivated for after July. With this race on the calendar, it wasn't a question of whether or not I was going to stay focused and stay motivated. This is my hometown race and I wanted it badly."
Goal Simply To Help Tejay
Frank's runner-up placing was his best finish in a stage race in four years. He soloed to victory on Tuesday in Breckenridge but said the high altitude – not a podium position – was on his mind. "I knew I was in good shape, but I didn't really have that much time at attitude, so I didn't how I could handle it," he said. "But actually, I was going pretty good. We had a super strong team here and our goal was to win this race with Tejay. We rode really smart, with good tactics and I won a stage here, so being second was just awesome." BMC Racing Team's Greg Van Avermaet finished fifth on the final stage that saw Peter Sagan (Cannondale Pro Cycling) earn his fourth victory of the week-long race. "Tejay did a good last lead-out," Van Avermaet said, describing the yellow jersey's show of strength in the final kilometer. "I tried to be in third position coming into the last corner. But I was a little bit blocked by the guy from Cannondale, who was leading out Sagan. "
Fifth Team Title Of 2013
The BMC Racing Team added the team classification to team titles it won with van Garderen at the Amgen Tour of California and the Tour de San Luis and also at the Tours of Oman and Qatar. Joining van Garderen, Frank and Van Avermaet on the winning team were Brent Bookwalter, Steve Cummings (who was forced to withdraw with breathing problems Saturday), Swiss road champion Michael Schär, Julien Taramarcaz and Larry Warbasse. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Jackson Stewart, who directed van Garderen in California, said he saw a difference between the two races for the 2012 best young rider at the Tour de France. "The difference between here and California was that he had more confidence from winning California," Stewart said. "I also think he had a lot more motivation coming in after the Tour de France after not really meeting his objectives there."

Facts for Consumers Keeping Laptops from Getting Lost or Stolen
A laptop computer defines convenience and mobility. It enables you to work from home, a hotel room, a conference hall, or a coffee shop.
Maybe you've taken steps to secure the data on your laptop: You've installed a firewall. You update your antivirus software. You protect your information with a strong password. You encrypt your data, and you're too smart to fall for those emails that ask for your personal information. But what about the laptop itself? A minor distraction is all it takes for your laptop to vanish. If it does, you may lose more than an expensive piece of hardware. The fact is, if your data protections aren't up to par, that sensitive and valuable information in your laptop may be a magnet for an identity thief.
Chances are you've heard stories about stolen laptops on the news or from friends and colleagues. No one thinks their laptop will be stolen — at least not until they find the trunk of their car broken into, notice that their laptop isn't waiting at the other side of airport security, or get a refill at the local java joint only to turn around and find their laptop gone.
OnGuardOnline.gov, a website managed by the federal government that is devoted to computer security, protecting personal information, and guarding against Internet fraud, suggests keeping these tips in mind when you take your laptop out and about:
Treat your laptop like cash. If you had a wad of money sitting out in a public place, would you turn your back on it — even for just a minute? Would you put it in checked luggage? Leave it on the backseat of your car? Of course not. Keep a careful eye on your laptop just as you would a pile of cash.
Keep it locked. Whether you're using your laptop in the office, a hotel, or some other public place, a security device can make it more difficult for someone to steal it. Use a laptop security cable: attach it to something immovable or to a heavy piece of furniture that's difficult to move — say, a table or a desk.
Keep it off the floor. No matter where you are in public — at a conference, a coffee shop, or a registration desk — avoid putting your laptop on the floor. If you must put it down, place it between your feet or at least up against your leg, so that you're aware of it.
Keep your passwords elsewhere. Remembering strong passwords or access numbers can be difficult. However, leaving either in a laptop carrying case or on your laptop is like leaving the keys in your car. There's no reason to make it easy for a thief to get to your personal or corporate information.
Mind the bag. When you take your laptop on the road, carrying it in a computer case may advertise what's inside. Consider using a suitcase, a padded briefcase or a backpack instead.
Get it out of the car. Don't leave your laptop in the car — not on the seat, not in the trunk. Parked cars are a favorite target of laptop thieves; don't help them by leaving your laptop unattended. That said, if you must leave your laptop behind, keep it out of sight.
Don't leave it "for just a minute." Your conference colleagues seem trustworthy, so you're comfortable leaving your laptop while you network during a break. The people at the coffee shop seem nice, so you ask them to keep an eye out while you use the restroom. Don't leave your laptop unguarded — even for a minute. Take it with you if you can, or at least use a cable to secure it to something heavy.
Pay attention in airports. Keep your eye on your laptop as you go through security. Hold onto it until the person in front of you has gone through the metal detector — and keep an eye out when it emerges on the other side of the screener. The confusion and shuffle of security checkpoints can be fertile ground for theft.
Be vigilant in hotels. If you stay in hotels, a security cable may not be enough. Try not to leave your laptop out in your room. Rather, use the safe in your room if there is one. If you're using a security cable to lock down your laptop, consider hanging the "do not disturb" sign on your door.
Use bells and whistles. Depending on your security needs, an alarm can be a useful tool. Some laptop alarms sound when there's unexpected motion, or when the computer moves outside a specified range around you. Or consider a kind of "lo-jack" for your laptop: a program that reports the location of your stolen laptop once it's connected to the Internet.

Businesses are reporting that scammers are "hijacking" their names, using them for everything from fraudulent credit card purchases to scam websites. Don't let your company become a victim of this growing trend

DAVID FLORES, TURBULENT DESCENT, Winner: "That's what happened with Zenyatta. I won the first three like that. I don't want to say too much. She does what she does in a nice and easy way. She's got the talent, she pricks her ears, she gets the lead and just looks around like she's not even trying. Mike (Puype) said just do what is necessary and take it one race at a time. I just want to keep it simple, very simple."
MIKE SMITH, ZAZU, Second: "She ran dynamite. I was right back of the one who won. I wanted to be back a little more, but every time I tried to ease her back, the winner stayed right with me. If I went wide, she went wide, too."
MIKE PUYPE, TURBULENT DESCENT, Winner— "What can you say about a horse that hasn't even been asked to run two times now. She was just on a high cruising speed. Watch David (Flores) down the lane, he never even moved his hands. She's got all the right ingredients to run a distance and do about anything. It was nice to watch her win, because naturally I was concerned about bringing her back in 20 days. So the game plan today was to win but not have to ask any more of her than we had to. This was just an ultimately confident ride. To be in the grandstand and watch this was just amazing. It's not just the time, it was the way she did it. How many horses do you see in stakes company do stuff like this? Without a doubt she's right up there with the best I've ever trained. It's two races in and you've got to keep them sound, but at this point, it's hard not to believe that. She's a brilliant filly. If she comes back well, the Hollywood Starlet has to be the plan. She's a made filly. She's worth a fortune already and would be worth a bigger fortune after a Grade 1."
JOHN SADLER, ZAZU, Second: "My filly was a little closer than I wanted and she was very, very wide. She never got a chance to drop over and save ground. But she ran well, so we're very happy."
NOTES: No winner of the Moccasin has ever captured the Hollywood Starlet….The $250,000-guaranteed Starlet, which is run at 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track, will be run for the 30th time Dec. 11….Flores' only other Moccasin victory came aboard Perfect Six in 1998.

Where To Buy Artisanal and Specialty Foods Online: 9 Great Marketplaces
While it's great to buy specialty products in-person from the maker, sometimes it's just not possible. (We don't all live near a food or farmer's market.) So to appreciate the full scale and variety of today's artisanal offerings, you have to go online. These nine marketplaces have you covered:
1. New York Mouth: Most of the products on this site are made by small, independent producers in New York, but you'll also find a few unique non-New York indie food items. The selection criteria page states that ideally the products should be handmade, and if they can't scale that way (like bottled beverages, for example) they still "started out as homemade concoctions and retain the hand of the maker." New York Mouth also offers a monthly subscription service for (currently) chocolate, cookies, pickles, and jerky, as well as an extensive list of curated Gift Boxes for every particular foodie craving your loved one might want! The site is super easy to navigate, with beautiful, enticing food photos. Best Bet: Fig Balsamic Vinegar from The Girl and the Fig ($9) and Goat Milk Caramel from Fat Toad Farms ($12).
2. Gilt Taste: If you don't already know about Gilt Taste's online market, you're missing out! Gilt offers a highly curated selection of specialty foods and artisan food products, many of which had previously only been available to chefs. Each product features gorgeous photos and a backstory on the maker or supplier, so you know exactly what you're buying and why Gilt's editors chose it. Best Bet: Mikuni's Wild Food of the Month ($139.95 - $269) and Murray's Ultimate Cheese Tasting ($70).
3. Foodzie: This online market operates on a different model than either Gilt or NY Mouth; at Foodzie small producers apply to be sellers and Foodzie approves or denies them. In order to even view the selection, you do have to sign up (name, email address, password). In recent news, Foodzie was actually just acquired by Joyus (the full transition will happen on August 1, 2012). Joyus, as Foodzie tells us, is "shopping through video" - you can see what this will look like by checking out the Foodzie's Bacon Jam video on Joyus! Best Bet: Bourbon Pantry Essentials ($37) and Early Bird Granola Trio ($27).
4. FoodShed: Portland-based FoodShed founder Brenda Crow says her job is to "check the chicken's papers," which she essentially does as she hunts down high quality artisanal products from around the country. She'll "only choose a product if it tells a story -- about where it's from, who makes it, and why it's so delicious that it makes me run to my kitchen to cook." Keep a look out for beautiful photos and recipes as well. Wanna buy something in your own area? You can search by region for everything from seafood and meat to cheese, vegetables, pantry items, desserts, and main dishes. Best Bet: Chorizo Andulaz by Olympic Provisions ($10) and Hand Harvested Oregon Sea Salt by Jacobsen Salt ($10.25/bag).
5. Foodoro: Foodoro touts itself as a marketplace for "gourmet food crafted by artisan producers and farmers." The site's greatest advantage is how searchable it is - delve into the lengthy category list or go right to one of their specialty shops. ("Gluten Free," "Indian Cuisine" and "Made to Order" are all options.) Best Bet: Black Garlic Bulbs ($3.99/two-pack) and Ethiopian Berebere Spice Blend from Ajika ($6.75).
6. Marx Foods: This gourmet food site is a little different than the others, because it only sells its food products in bulk. Traditionally geared towards restaurant chefs, the products are now available to regular home cooks! You're not likely to find many small, independent producers on here, since the whole notion of "artisanal" goes a little against the bulk-buying philosophy. But if you need a a few pounds of morels or a 9-pound hunk of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, this is your place. Best Bet: Organic and Wild Mushrooms and the Sugar Sampler ($67).
7. Market Hall Foods: The founders of Market Hall Foods wanted to give Bay Area customers an alternative to weekly supermarket treks, so they pooled their resources and opened the only European style marketplace in the Bay area. You're lucky if you're able to shop there in person, but if not you can check out their online store which features a few of their most popular products and producers, including a few specialty items from France and Italy. Want to give California all your food dollars? Then stick to the California Goods category! Best Bet: Dill Pollen from Pollen Ranch ($14) and Principato di Lucedio Riso Nero ($17).
8. Fooducopia: Fooducopia ("The Real People, Real Food Marketplace!") offers the usual array of small-scale artisanal products, including jams, condiments, chocolates and the like. I find the site design and navigation a little lacking, but they do have a health-specific category search, where you can search for food items that are gluten-free to wheat-free, preservative-free, vegan, etc. Best Bet: You're My Everything Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour ($7.50).
9. Love Your Larder: For all you readers across the pond, Love Your Larder is your go-to online marketplace for artisanal products in Great Britain! Some of the producers on the site are well-established makers of fine food, but most are small, family run businesses. Here's a list of all the producers currently selling on their site. Shop for fresh food and pantry goods, or sign up for a monthly subscription to their popular LarderBox. Best Bet: Buckwheat Flour from Shipton Mill (£1.75/bag) and Heather Honey Cut Comb (£7.90).

A thumbs up for New York Mouth - I recently got one of their cookie samplers (through Food52's store), and they were all very tasty, particularly the Honey Bear cookies.
Oh, I also ordered some of the cinnamon honey and coffee, both of which are amazing. Plug!
I "second" New York Mouth! Sent some goodies to my sister for her birthday and they we a huge hit! I just love their selection.

People going through cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, frequently report changes in taste. In fact, one study found that this occurred in 66% of patients. These changes can include food and drinks tasting like metal, an aversion to certain foods, or a change in the taste of your favorite foods.
Radiation therapy to the head and neck area can make taste problems worse or cause xerostomia (dry mouth caused by a decrease in or loss of saliva), which can add to the problem. Dental problems can also add to taste changes, so a visit to the dentist may be in order. Be sure to check with your oncology team to identify the best time during therapy to see a dentist.
Although the problem with taste changes typically resolves over time after therapy is ends, it can persist for a year or longer. There are some things you can do to help manage taste changes and, in the process, decrease or prevent weight loss.
Oct 4, 2011 - Treatment of localized prostate cancer using intensity modulated radiation therapy is associated with a considerable reduction in late bowel and rectal side effects and significantly decreased rectal and bladder toxicity compared to three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, according to a study presented the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Oct. 2 to 6 in Miami Beach.

After one local resident expressed frustration that she did not land a job at a local dental office because she did not know Spanish, though she saw employees working at a local store who did not know English ("No, I don't speak Spanish," Your Voice, Page 11, Feb. 7), many residents chimed in with responses.
Some folks were sympathetic; others were critical. Regardless of one's opinion, it's clear that knowledge of both English and Spanish has become a desirable job skill here in the Central Valley, and educators and vocational training leaders should take notice.
Local residents need to be prepared for the careers that are locally available.
As an agricultural community that has attracted field workers from Latin America over the years and whose descendents have grown up here, Patterson has come to have a majority Latino population. Businesses naturally want to cater to the city's Spanish-speaking population.
By the same token, Spanish speakers need to become educated in English to expand their career opportunities and to become fully engaged in civic life.
Just as Modesto Junior College and Alliance Worknet recently announced plans to host free courses in logistics training, it would be wonderful to see similar courses available in Spanish or English.
Obviously, languages can't be learned in a two-week crash course, but economic development advocates need to treat bilingualism as a valued asset in the business world and not simply relegate it to the liberal arts.
In that vein, it's encouraging to see dual-language programs in place at Walnut Grove School and Grayson Charter School. Students in those programs will all have a leg up on their peers when they search for a job.
As California's demographics continue to shift, educators in both the public school system and the business community need to change with it. Economic development proponents would do well to get in on the trend of bilingual training for the sake of our community's prosperity.

Only Natural Pet Skin & Itch Homeopathic is a safe, effective remedy to provide relief for skin irritations such and itching, scratching, and hot spots due to allergies or other causes. This formula is a combination of homeopathic ingredients formulated by our holistic veterinarian, Dr. Jean Hofve.
There are very few pets that don't itch now and then, and the occasional scratching here and there is not unusual. But when it becomes frequent, and/or you see visible skin irritations, hot spots, or fur loss, your pet may have a health condition that needs addressing. Constant scratching is annoying for you, and can be quite miserable for your pet, so finding a solution is important. Prolonged licking and scratching damages the skin's barrier function and only make the problem worse.
There are many potential causes for a pet's skin irritations or itching, but the most common one is flea bite allergy. If your pet is allergic to flea saliva, then a single bite can produce severe itchiness that may last for weeks. Mange mites, particularly scabies, can also be incredibly itchy. Effective parasite control is the top consideration.
Other allergies may also cause skin symptoms, particularly inhalant allergies. In humans, inhaled allergy particles, such as pollen or mold, usually result in "hay fever" symptoms like sneezing and a runny nose. However, we almost never see that reaction in pets; they usually respond with itchy skin, hot spots, flaky skin, scabs, and even red itchy ears.
Even food allergies can cause skin symptoms. True food allergies are uncommon in pets, though cats seem to be affected more often than dogs. Many ear infections are probably the result of underlying allergies.
Other common causes of itchiness in pets include ringworm (which is actually a fungus), endocrine (hormone) disorders, drug reactions, and autoimmune disease. Nerve irritation from a collar may be a trigger; you may want to consider using a harness instead.
Infections of irritated skin by bacteria and yeast are common; but usually these are secondary, and the primary cause must still be determined and treated.
Because some of these conditions can be serious, it is important to try and determine the cause and deal with that issue directly if possible.
A healthy skin and coat depend on a healthy diet; many times simplifying the diet or changing foods will make a big difference. An essential fatty acid supplement (like fish oil) can also be very helpful. Bathing your pet more frequently (to remove allergens, parasites, bacteria, yeast, and skin secretions) may also be needed.
Whatever the cause, this homeopathic formula can be a good way to help relieve the irritation and itchiness, while you address the underlying cause.
About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a natural, holistic system for healing that works by eliminating the underlying imbalance in a pet's body that is causing unwanted symptoms. In homeopathy, health is defined as not just the absence of symptoms, but a feeling of well-being and vitality. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years. It follows Aristotle's theory that "like cures like." For example, ipecac in large doses will cause nausea, salivation, and violent vomiting in a healthy person. In contrast, homeopathic ipecac can cure those same symptoms in a sick patient.
In addition, homeopathy uses the principle of the "minimum dose." Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances such as plants and minerals that are highly diluted (potentized) and shaken (succussed), which eliminates any toxic effects of the natural substance. It is literally impossible to overdose with a homeopathic formula, and they are generally safe for use with other remedies or medicines.
Available in a 1 oz liquid.

Comment on this review
Thought it was helping, but it wasn't
By Cat Lady
from Arkansas
My cat has flea allergy dermatitis, and the vet gave her a shot of pred. It helped, but caused diabetes (she's in remission now). She is no longer ever allowed to get pred, so I thought I would try this. I thought it was working, so I ordered another bottle while it was on sale, but it's definitely not working. I started out giving her five drops three times a day, but it wasn't working, so I upped it to seven drops three times a day. After about a week, it appeared that some of the sores were going away, but it's still just as bad. Maybe this can help some animals, but unfortunately it didn't work for us.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Wonderful Wonderul Stuff
By Liquorish
from Kiethville, La.
My 14 year old dog gets occasional itching and would rub her rear against anything. Then one day I noticed a huge raw, scabby area on her side where she had scratched herself. This was the first time she had done this. I used two things: this itch remedy, right in her food (and she likes to lick the empty cat food cans, so I just squirt it in there and she laps it up). The other thing I used was itching lotion I use on myself for hives. I put that right on the spot, and that helped a lot. When it healed, I just kept giving her the itching medicine. When I don't she starts itching again. By the way, bathing does not help. I have used these people before for brand new kittens, and their advice is great. I am 100 per cent pleased with this store.Liquorish

I appreciate the fact that these drops are all natural. I do not like to fill my dog with pharmaceuticals. They have brought blessed relief.

HooRay Tully finds relief
By KiTBoT
from Copperopolis
Our cat, Tully, has seasonal scratching, sores, chews his feet only in summer. I stumbled across Skin and Itch and within days of use his scratching/chewing diminished by 50%. Super EZ to administer in his food. It wasnt a cure all but it was very effective by 75%. After I ran out I tried 3 other homeopathics with poor results. Wasting no time I bought 3 more bottles of Skin and Itch...one to finish out the 2013 summer and 2 bottles to meet summer 2014!

excellent product

This product is awesome. I had an itchy, scratchy kitty and nothing seemed to help. Within two days she had much needed relief and the scratching and itching had come to a stop.

No relief from scratching whatsoever
By Sandi cat lover
from Milwaukee Wi
Followed the directions to the letter and my poor cat got absolutely no relief from the scratching. It was a waste of money and now I have to seek a solution for his discomfort elsewhere.
Merchant response: We have always had a 100% guarantee on our own brand?

Didn't seem to help my GSD
By mici1196
from Boston, MA
Tried to give these drops to my dog 3 times a day. The formula smells like menthol but my dog didn't like the taste at all, added to food but I couldn't use for the recommended time. He really did not like this, if you flavor it , it might be better or put in pill form. My dog is suffering from allergies and his skin is getting patches under his fur and a rash under his belly......I had hoped this word have worked.
Merchant response: Homeopathics have no smell, so it is just the alcohol...so you can let it burn off...just let the dose sit out about 20 minutes and the alcohol will dissipate.

Habitat for Humanity celebrates 100th house built in Rowan
SALISBURY — Volunteers with Habitat for Humanity of Rowan County gathered Saturday to celebrate two milestones.
Some stood on the boards that will be part of the living room of the Boler family's new home on Oakwood Avenue.
Others gathered in the dirt and sand that will one day be the front lawn.
The Bolers' home will be more than just four bedrooms and two baths, and more than just a home for a family that needs one.
It's also the 100th house built by Habitat for Humanity of Rowan County.
Since the local Habitat for Humanity was officially formed on July 2, 1990, the agency has worked with hundreds of volunteers, churches and community groups to fulfill its mission, Executive Director Coleman Emerson said.
"And that is, to help eliminate poverty housing, to help those who have a housing need who are unable to qualify for a bank loan."
Emerson said his agency built seven new homes for qualifying families last year, and hopes to see eight more homes built in 2013.
"In addition to that, we have volunteers at our ReStore and at our fundraising events," he said.
In all, Emerson said, Habitat for Humanity reaches hundreds of people every year in Rowan County through volunteer efforts and construction of homes.
As he handed a gold-painted shovel to Ann Boler for the ceremonial groundbreaking, Emerson said Habitat for Humanity's success here is "testimony that the people of Rowan County love one another, in the name of Jesus Christ."
Although Habitat for Humanity is a non-denominational, ecumenical outreach, Emerson said, the Boler family's groundbreaking ceremony was a time of thanksgiving.
And there's another similarity between the first Habitat house in Rowan and the 100th: Both are projects led by members of Salisbury's First Baptist Church.
It was at First Baptist, in 1986, that a representative from Habitat International first spoke to a group of Salisbury residents, according to the agency's website — a gathering that sparked interest in forming a local Habitat affiliate.
Today, Emerson said, Habitat of Rowan is "a strong affiliate."
"There are some larger ones in the big cities, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, but we are very strong and well thought-of," Emerson said.
Standing up with volunteers during the groundbreaking, Habitat of Rowan President Pete Teague said some of those present were involved with homes built in the early 1990s.
Now in his 13th year as president, Teague described the organization's transition from all volunteers to having a professional staff, and a wider reach in the county.
"Over time, with more organization, reaching out to more people and more churches, it just grew," Teague said.
He attributes the success of Habitat in Rowan County to the faith and the interest of the community in accomplishing their mission.
'Sweat equity'
Up on the foundation of the house itself, Ann Boler reached into a bucket of nails and grabbed a handful.
She, along with friends and family members, were there Saturday to invest some of the hundreds of hours of "sweat equity" required of those who take part in the Habitat for Humanity program.
"I'm happy, excited, honored that Habitat would help me be able to provide a home for me and my kids," Boler said.
A month ago, she said, she had no idea that this day would come.
"(Habitat) is giving families the help they need. I mean, in this economy, they're helping you provide for your family," Boler said.
Teague said his agency is careful, and prayerful selection of families for the program was another reason for its success.
In general, families must be able to demonstrate a need for housing, and have an income that would allow them to repay the interest-free loan provided by the agency, according to the agency's website.
They must also be willing to be active partners in the home-building process — 100 hours per family member.
Teague said his agency wants to prepare people to succeed.
He was also one of several volunteers who talked of Habitat's role in volunteerism — providing an outlet for those who want to be active in the community.
He pointed to the home site, where some 35 volunteers were hammering away at the framework for the new walls.
"This is the part where you can really get involved," Teague said.
"The best thing is you're out here with a bunch of people, and with the family," Teague continued. "It builds community that way."
Jane Hartness, the agency's volunteer coordinator, said she's seen as many as 194 volunteers involved on one home-building project.
She, too, said the agency helps bring people together.
"Some people say, 'Oh, I've never picked up a hammer, I don't know what to do,' " Hartness said. "They show them. And so many people come back just beaming."
The number of volunteers from churches and community groups who take part is "an indication of the sense of community that we can proudly say is here Salisbury and Rowan County," Hartness said.
Still a need
Despite the improving housing market and a larger number of rental properties, Emerson said, "We are about homeownership, not about renting."
"Our mission is to build single family new houses for people who have a housing need," Emerson said.
Beyond that, he said, there's a positive impact on the local economy from Habitat for Humanity's housing projects.
"Every penny contributed in Rowan County, we attempt to spend within the county," Emerson said.
"We're still buying building materials, we're still hiring the licensed trades, the plumbers, the electricians," he said. "We have a positive effect in the community."
David Rowh, Habitat of Rowan's construction supervisor, started working with the group on what he thought would be a short-term commitment.
"I came to work for Habitat for 10 months," Rowh said.
That was 13 years ago.
"I got hooked on Habitat," Rowh said during a short break from helping prepare the walls of the home to be raised.
"I've had the pleasure of seeing people who were children when we built their families' homes, who've gone off to college and are coming back to volunteer," Rowh said.
And Rowh also pointed to the 30-plus volunteers on site, a group that included local church members, neighbors from nearby homes, youth volunteers and seasoned volunteers.
"It's amazing when you stop to think about it," Rowh said.
And it isn't stopping anytime soon.
Even as they prepared to raise the walls at Habitat of Rowan's 100th house, the foundation bricks for house number 101 are already laid next door, waiting for volunteers to arrive not long from now.

Last updated: April 15, 2014Solar Fire concentrators are present in Mexico, Cuba, Mali, France, USA, Haiti and India. Related models, the Helios, Vesta, Prométhée, and SFP32 have been built by motivated individuals and/or organizations.
Solarfire.org , a collaborative Open Site serves to develop and talk about Local Solar Concentrators that can replace fires of fossil fuels, wood and other biomass for agriculture and small industries with good results.
News and recent developments
- January 2013: Eerik Wissenz spoke at the Open Knowledge Festival held in Helsinki, Finland last September about the potential for solar power as an energy resource. Typically, Solar Fire technology has used steel frameworks to support an array of flat panel mirrors, which simulate the performance of curved parabolic solar cookers. The scale of the equipment is determined by the the intended uses, including cooking and agricultural processing on the domestic and village scale, and for local industrial activities. The most recent design has reduced steel use by over 70% by using wood or bamboo rows to support the mirrors. Unlike other large scale concentrators, Solar Fire consists of no curved metallic pieces, but is a simple frame with rows of mirrors, each flexed and inclined to concentrate sunlight either onto a boiler placed at the top of a tower or into an oven at ground level. Eerik Wissenz at the Open Knowledge Festival
- January 2011: Eerik Wissenz builds a 32 square meter array that will power a 2 hp steam engine called FP32, in North India with Tinytech.
- January 2010: Eerik & Eva Wissenz build a 9 square meter array called Prometheus9, in North India with Tinytech.

Outdoor features include,tennis courts, athletic fields for football or soccer and playground. Park-goers can visit nearby Kennicott Park for the fitness center or the gymnasium. History Ellis Park, takes its name from Samuel Ellis, who ran a tavern on 35th Street near the Vincennes Trail (now Avenue) in the 1830s. In 1855, Ellis subdivided his land holdings between 31st and 39th Streets, from Lake Michigan to South Park Boulevard (now Martin Luther King Drive), donating a wedge-shaped parcel to the city for use as a public park. The area surrounding Ellis Park developed as the fashionable Oakland neighborhood, but by 1900 the wealthy had begun to move out, and their homes were being recycled as apartments and rooming houses. Ellis Park, too, had been carved up by adjacent residents who extended sidewalks from their homes and planted trees and shrubs on either side. A decaying bandstand added to the sense of disorder. In the early 1900s, the Special Park Commission reclaimed Ellis Park from encroaching property owners. Noted landscape architect and commission member Jens Jensen completely redesigned the 3-acre park. His 1906 plan included two ornamental fountains and a circular, tree-edged lawn. By 1940, the surrounding neighborhood had experienced further decline. The federal government responded by erecting the Ida B. Wells housing project. Across the street at Ellis Park, the Bureau of Parks and Recreation (successor to the Special Park Commission) installed two new wading pools which drew more than 14,000 children the first summer. The city transferred Ellis Park to the Chicago Park District in 1959. In 1964, the park district and the Chicago Board of Education began joint operation of the new Donoghue Elementary School at 37th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue. Several years later, the park district purchased additional property east, west, and north of the original park, tripling its size. The park district and the board of education continued to offer joint programming at Donoghue School. Following the demolition of the Ida B. Wells and Madden Park Homes, the programs for Ellis Park were relocated to Doolittle School in the Fall of 2010.

Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart's function as a pump is inadequate to meet the body's needs. A poor blood supply resulting from congestive heart failure may cause the body's organ systems to fail, leading to a weakened heart muscle and fluid accumulation in the lungs and body tissue. There are many diseases that can impair pumping efficiency and symptoms of congestive heart failure including fatigue, diminished exercise capacity, shortness of breath, and swelling. Treatments include lifestyle modifications, medications, heart transplant, and therapy.

Congestive heart failure facts
What is congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart's function as a pump is inadequate to deliver oxygen rich blood to the body. Congestive heart failure can be caused by:
The heart has two atria (right atrium and left atrium) that make up the upper chambers of the heart, and two ventricles (left ventricle and right ventricle) that make up the lower chambers of the heart. The ventricles are muscular chambers that pump blood when the muscles contract. The contraction of the ventricle muscles is called systole.
Many diseases can impair the pumping action of the ventricles. For example, the muscles of the ventricles can be weakened by heart attacks, infections (myocarditis) or toxins (alcohol, some chemotherapy agents). The diminished pumping ability of the ventricles due to muscle weakening is called systolic dysfunction. After each ventricular contraction (systole) the ventricle muscles need to relax to allow blood from the atria to fill the ventricles. This relaxation of the ventricles is called diastole.
Diseases such as hemochromatosis (iron overload) or amyloidosis can cause stiffening of the heart muscle and impair the ventricles' capacity to relax and fill; this is referred to as diastolic dysfunction. The most common cause of this is longstanding high blood pressure resulting in a thickened (hypertrophied) heart. Additionally, in some patients, although the pumping action and filling capacity of the heart may be normal, abnormally high oxygen demand by the body's tissues (for example, with hyperthyroidism or anemia) may make it difficult for the heart to supply an adequate blood flow (called high output heart failure).
In some individuals one or more of these factors can be present to cause congestive heart failure. The remainder of this article will focus primarily on congestive heart failure that is due to heart muscle weakness, systolic dysfunction.
Congestive heart failure can affect many organs of the body. For example:
Eventually, untreated, worsening congestive heart failure will affect virtually every organ in the body.

There are enough good-looking recipes here to get me through the winter! One preparation that I love but don't see here is a puttanesca-style pasta; I really like this version with roasted cauliflower, tomatoes, and olives.
There are too many to choose from, pasta is my favorite food... some of my favorites are a spicy crab pasta, sicilian pantry pasta, red wine spaghetti with broccoli rabe, and linguine bolognese. Roasted carrot and butternut squash lasagna is always good in fall, too.
My fave is rapini and sausage! I made a quick and easy "avocado pesto pasta" for my 18 month old the other day...the whole family couldn't get enough of it! I posted it on my Blog bitesforbabies.com
Pasta aglio e olio - with really good olive oil.
