Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. More choices and control of streaming media Kenwood's KDC-BT555U CD receiver gives you more choices in streaming music. Once you plug your iPhone® into the front USB input or connect your Android™ or Blackberry via Bluetooth®, you'll enjoy easy access to the musical resources of Pandora® Internet radio and iHeart Radio. You'll also be able to tap into Aha Radio, with its personalized on-demand stations that run the gamut from news to talk to music. The KDC-BT555U works with your iPhone or Android for Internet radio access. The advantage of Bluetooth This Kenwood's built-in Bluetooth also frees up your hands and attention when you take a call — and pairing your phone is easier and faster than ever, thanks to Simple Secure Pairing. Connect an iPhone equipped with Siri to the receiver, and you can use voice commands to look up and dial numbers without lifting a finger. Plus, you can stream audio from any smartphone source to the receiver without the clutter of wires. Command your digital music libraries If you're replacing your factory radio, you'll notice a big improvement in sound quality, courtesy of this Kenwood's 24-bit digital-to-analog converter and its robust built-in amplifier. You'll also be impressed by the user-friendly controls — plug your iPod® into the receiver's front-panel USB input, and you'll be flicking through your albums, artists, and playlists in a few seconds. If you've got lots of music on your iPod, you'll love the dedicated "Search" and "Return" keys that simplify your search when you want to hear a particular song or album. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and this Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

Low Pass Filter: The receiver features a built-in Low Pass Filter control for the preamp-output, when the output is set to Subwoofer. You can select from 85 Hz, 120 Hz, 160 Hz, or off. Subwoofer Phase: You can adjust the phase of the subwoofer output between 180-degrees (Reverse) or 0-degrees (Normal). Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level (-15 to +15) from the CD receiver. Speaker Settings: The Speaker Setting function tailors the head unit's audio settings according to the type of speakers in your vehicle. You may select a Speaker Setting of 'SP-Off' (flat/off), 'SP-OEM' (for OEM factory speaker systems), 'SP-6x9/6' (for systems with 6" and 6"x9" speakers), or 'SP-5/4' (for systems with 4" and 5" speakers). Preset EQ: Eight EQ curves are preset into memory, allowing you to recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of music. Each preset has its own level settings for bass (100Hz), midrange (1kHz), and treble (12.5kHz). You can choose from the following preset EQ curves - Rock, Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, Natural, Game, and User. Note: You can store bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (CD, AM/FM, Aux, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, and Pandora). Sound Enhancements: The head unit provides further sound enhancements for your car audio system. Bass Boost: The Kenwood CD receiver features a Bass Boost control that can be set to the following levels (BB1, BB2, BB3, or Off). Loudness: This function enhances low and high frequencies to make the sound clearer lower volumes. There are 3 levels (LV1, LV2, or Off). Supreme Setting: When MP3 or WMA files encoded at a low bit rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Supreme Setting function restores their high frequencies so the sound quality is closer to files encoded at a high bit rate. The processing is optimized for the compression format and the bit rate used. When the Supreme Setting is Off, the unit plays the original sound stored in the audio file. Volume Offset: The level of each source may be independently adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching from one source to another. The available settings range from -8 to 0 (-8 to +8 for Aux source). Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. Display Features Detachable Face: The Kenwood KDC-BT555U features a single front loading CD face that detaches from the chassis to deter theft. There is no protective face case included. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. Fluorescent Display: The Kenwood head unit features a single-line, 11-character, bluish-white backlit fluorescent display. Variable Color Button Illumination: The Kenwood KDC-BT555U features variable color button illumination. You can choose from one of 24 preset colors, have the unit scan through all 24 preset colors continuously, or customize your own color (RGB; 0-9). The custom setting allows you to individually adjust the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue (from 0-9) to better match your vehicle's interior lights. The Kenwood logo and eject button remain red. Illumination Dimmer: You can manually dim the LCD and button illumination to better suit the time of day. The Kenwood logo and eject button do not dim. Display Illumination/Clock Display: When the unit is in Standby mode, the face and button illumination is "keyed." When the Clock Display is turned on and the unit is in Standby mode, the Clock Display is also "keyed." Pressing and holding the source button turns the unit off completely. Demo Mode: This unit features a Demo mode which can be turned On or Off within the menu. Remote Control Wireless Remote Control: The KDC-BT555U comes with an IR remote control (RC-406) for wireless operation of the head unit. The remote will control Audio, CD, USB, and Tuner functions. It is powered by a single CR2025 3V lithium-cell battery (supplied). Numeric Keypad: The wireless remote control features a numeric keypad (0-9) which allows direct track access of your music tracks & files (from CD or USB), as well as AM/FM presets. Attenuator: The CD receiver features an Attenuator button on the supplied remote control that turns the volume down very quickly with one touch of the button. Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

I've always been a fan of Kenwood products and the features of this model along with the great price are hard to beat. I purchased this for my 16 year old son who was using a very poor excuse for an FM transmitter to listen to music from his iPHONE. The Bluetooth capabilities along with the ability for him to control his iPHONE from the radio makes me more comfortable with him talking on his phone since its now virtually hands free. Great radio and Crutchfields installation kit with instructions made the swap easy. Pros: Bluetooth, iPHONE controler, Pandora controler. Hands free operation. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Great Unit Written By Phil, Rochester, NY on Sunday, January 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little unit. Replaced factory radio in a 2006 Ford Escape. Dropped right in (I used the ISO Din option with the supplied mounting kit) and had tunes in no time. Menus are easy to navigate, though I did have the manual open for the initial set-up. Bluetooth works great, I located the microphone in the center of the dash above the radio and it picks up my voice with no problems. With BT Audio on and my phone on music player I can skip forward and back tracks in my library and the unit even controls Pandora. Both work better than I expected. There is an app you can install on your Android phone (I have a Galaxy S4) from Kenwood, and it did a great job finding all the music on my phone. I hangs on songs during playback. I stick with the Android music player and everything is fine, including the unit displaying the track info. Pandora works great, but I have not figured out how to change stations. I can skip tracks fine, thumbs-up or thumbs-down a track and scroll through song info just fine. I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a nice upgrade to a factory system. I don't think it is something I would compete in IASCA with, but for a decent upgrade with ease of use, decent power and great features this thing is a bargain indeed! Pros: Great looking Easy to use / easy to set-up Pandora control through BT Music library control though BT Mic for phone works great and everyone says it does a good job at noise cancelling Cons: Kenwood Android app doesn't seem to work (though Android music player works great) Can't change stations on Pandora, but does everything else on Pandora just fine 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Unit sounds good with OEM speakers. Controls are a bit complex and takes some getting used to. Bluetooth connectionwwith IPhone 5 was flawless and easy. Pros: Good sound and functions perfectly.

For the first time with my purchases with you, Crutchfield had limited information about installation in a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. They were very honest about this but were quite sure it would fit. And they were right. Did not even have to re-do the wiring. The Hyundai came with a Kenwood from the factory and the plug matched. Wanted this unit for the hands free bluetooth.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Great product! Bluetooth is the ticket. Written By DavidG, Franklinton, NC on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I drive about 40k miles a year. When the existing Sony stereo in my Toyota Matrix started to fail, I started to research stereos that had Bluetooth capability for phone use. Using Crutchfield was a no-brainer, they have great prices and outstanding customer service. As to the Kenwood stereo, installation was a breeze, including hiding the mic just above the rearview mirror. Great features and sound, and the bluetooth feature for phone use is fantastic. It was easy to setup for the primary phone. Still haven't figured out how to set my wife's phone up as the secondary. Listening to music or lectures from my iPod touch via the bluetooth is also a big plus. I am loving this stereo. You can get a headache researching all the different stereo options, but I kept coming back to the KDC-BT555U. It had an affordable price, great features, fewer complaints, and fewer issues than other stereos with the features that were of interest to me. The fit and finish were perfect and, with the kit that Crutchfield sent, it looks like a professional install. Pros: Bluetooth features! Ease of installation. Sound quality. Cons: The radio reception is fine, but not quite as strong as the stereo it replaced. Was this review helpful?

Very happy with the upgrade! Pros: Easy to install, with great support from the Crutchfield folks. Nice sound and excellent Bluetooth connectivity.

I bought this receiver for my daughter's 2005 Honda. The original factory stereo was ok but did not have Bluetooth or USB like the Kenwood.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Best full featured unit for the money Written By Jim E, Plymouth, Ma on Sunday, December 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was more than I expected. I like the hands free calling, the siriusXM is sweet also (with seperate adapter). And with Pandora controls I find myself constantly switching between all of them, so much variety to listen to. I also like that I can choose a color to match my dash or just let the colors scroll through and enjoy the light show. Crutchfield makes it a great experience to install by throwing in all the items and tools to get the job done with little effort. I didn't have to call them but it's a good feeling knowing they are on standby if I needed them. Pros: So many features for such a small price! Cons: Absolutely none, C'mon, it's a Kenwood.

I have been buying from Crutchfield for 20 years and I have never been disappointed with the service and support. I just returned an Axxera AXD 530 because of several things: I didn't like the quality of sound from the hands free phone; The unit was complicated to setup and use; The lighting was too bright and not adjustable. In contrast, the Kenwood KDC BT555U is phenomenal. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It is very good looking, easy to use and sounds great. Thank you Crutchfield and Kenwood!!! Pros: Great sound from hands free phone mic; Shows radio station song names; Easy to program and use; The lighting is adjustable. Cons: The only con is that I have an older vehicle to install it in.

First, the Saco River idylls can be found at the link below.
As for the two questions: first, does this swimming hold on the West Side Road still exist or has development, natural causes, or politics closed it?
Second, I made my first climb of Lowe's Path in the 1970s and if I remember correctly, I parked at Lowe's garage and store. Are the store and garage still there, has development sprung up around it? Does anyone have a current picture of Lowe's that they could share ?
Thanks and regards

On the welcome page of the dictionary, three major sections are shown: Normal tissues, Cancer and Cell structure. Below the image of each section are links to introductory texts for i) normal tissue histology, ii) hallmarks of cancer, and iii) cell structure overview. For the cancer-section there is also a link to current cancer statistics (incidence, survival, etc) for Sweden and the rest of the world. Within each section there are direct links to histology descriptions of different tissue types and tumor forms as well as descriptions of cell structures.
For the 'Tissue & cell types' and 'Tumor' sections, tissue-slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) are shown at three different levels of magnification. On the top level, an overview of the whole tissue-sample is shown with boxes in black indicating where zoomed-in representative parts of the tissue are available for viewing. Clicking on these boxes will zoom in on that part to show tissue structures, cells and features in greater detail. Throughout these sections, arrows indicate relevant tissue structures, cell-types and other features.
For the 'Cell structure' section, immunofluorescent images of formaldehyde-fixed cell lines are shown. The various cell structures that are demonstrated are always shown in the green channel using an antibody found in the Human Protein Atlas. The antibody name is linked to the subcellular location summary page of the target gene. The other channels: nucleus, microtubules and endoplasmic reticulum, are always shown in the blue, red and yellow channels, respectively. The channels can be toggled on and off by clicking on the respective coloured button above the image. When applicable, the immunofluorescent images are complemented by immunohistochemically stained cells where the location of the particular cell structure is shown in brown.
A common feature for all sections is that a general descriptive text about the tissue, tumor-type or cell structure is provided when browsing a particular topic.
The plasma membrane encloses the cell content and enables a selective transport of molecules in and out of the cell, either through passive diffusion or through active uptake. It also takes part in signal conduction through receptors embedded in the membrane, which consists of a lipid bilayer.
Immunofluorescent staining of the plasma membrane can appear differently. Sometimes the staining only appear as a rim around the cell, sometimes membrane protrusions extending from the plasma membrane are clearly visible and sometimes it may appear as a uniform and very flat staining across the entire cell (since the plasma membrane beneath the cell is stained). It can be difficult to distinguish plasma membrane staining from cytoplasmic staining when the images show the plasma membrane underneath the cell.

With both a team time trial and an individual time trial at the Eneco Tour of Benelux, the BMC Racing Team will look to Olympian Taylor Phinney to lead the squad in the seven-day race that begins Monday.
Aiming For The Overall
In last year's Eneco Tour, Phinney won the prologue, held the lead through Stage 3 and finished in the top 10 five times on the way to fourth place overall. The former U.S. national time trial champion said he's in even better shape this time, coming off a pair of fourth place finishes in the Olympic road race and time trial in London. "Last year I was on a level that I would consider a lot lower than where I am now," Phinney said. "I'd like to go back this time and win the team time trial and the short time trial and I think we have a shot to win the race overall." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said Phinney isn't the only one enjoying good form. "Klaas Lodewyck is going well, as is Greg Van Avermaet and Adam Blythe won earlier this week in Paris-Corrèze," he said. "So we're definitely motivated to go for the overall."
