For many years I wanted to upgrade the AI-1 SDA cable on my stock AI-1, but I wanted to keep the original pin/blade type terminal and socket because I never liked the idea of using binding posts for the connections. I don't know exactly why, I just didn't. I looked and looked for something that would work, but never did find anything. Along came the Dreadnought. I liked the idea of using a better isolation transformer, but still didn't want to use binding posts, so I did nothing. Then at one point another Polkie and I were looking at having new pin/blade terminals made, but that never panned out. When the 1000V Avel deal came up I knew it was time to abandon my hope of finding a pin/blade type terminal and look for something else. I found the Neutrik Speakon connectors and decided that is what I would use.
Since I use the excellent MIT Shotgun S1 cables I wanted to use the same for my new SDA cable. I talked with the good folks at MIT about this and they didn't think their cables with the network boxes would be a good idea as those boxes are directional. They suggested using the Shotgun cable without the boxes, so I acquired 16 feet. They warned me that this cable was a pain to terminate and they were right. The guts are not simply your typical stranded wire and that's probably all I should say about that. I have to thank the good folks at MIT for making this possible, thank you!
So, with the cable decided on I made very careful measurements to find out which of Neutrik connectors would work. I found that the NLT4MP-BAG female chassis socket would just fit between the upper Cardas binding posts on my 2.3TL's in place of the stock pin/blade socket. I chose the NLT4FX-BAG for the male end. As the MIT cable measures 21mm in diameter and the maximum inside diameter at the tail end of the NLT4FX-BAG shell is only 16mm I had to remove the rubber bushing, the metal ring that holds it in place and the plastic locking device inside the shell. That still wasn't enough, so I had to use my Dremel to enlarge the end of the shell. Let me tell you that was a lot of work. Things went very smoothly after that and the cables were done.
Needing an enclosure for the transformer I looked around and found something I liked from a company in China, but their stock sizes weren't what I wanted or needed, so I asked about custom sizes to which they said sure. After sending them my drawings they got back to me saying sure, no problem, but we have a minimum order of 10 for custom work. Since I didn't need 10 I dropped that idea and looked elsewhere. I talked with a certain someone (THANK YOU!) that was willing to make me a one off and placed the order.
The work on the binding post plate to accommodate the Neutrik chassis socket was a bit tricky because it's a one shot deal, but all went smoothly and installing the Avel in the enclosure was straight forward. I'm leaving out some of the finer details in this project, but I would suggest that one should have a certain level of knowledge, the right tools and the skill set required before tackling such a project. If anyone has specific questions, I would be glad to help.
I would like to thank all those that have gone before me on similar projects. You shared your knowledge, experiences and gave me ideas to work with. You guys make this forum the best around.
Oh yeah, sounds GREAT!!!
Both cables finished.

The Neutrik chassis socket installed. MIT jumpers, of course!
I tried black cap screws first....nah
With stainless steel cap screws.....much better.

These shoes are comfortable, but the threads are rotten. I wore these three or four times and the threads begin to break and no way could repair them. I did not send them back because I did not wish to pay the shipping and handling charge again.
Rating 5.0 of 5:
I ordered these shoes in SAGE simply because I thought the color was so pretty. Now I'll have to buy something to wear with them! I liked them so well I ordered an INDIGO pair. I haven't worn them anywhere yet, but in trying them on, they are really comfortable. I DON'T THINK YOU'LL BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PURCHASE.

I'm glad to hear Chen is back competing again!
I'm glad to hear Chen is back competing again!
Congratulations to Ross Miner for landing his first quad (4S +1.29 GOE) in competition and setting 2 new ISU personal best scores -- 235.37 (Total) and 161.96 (FS) -- at NHK Trophy in winning the bronze medal in a tough, deep field!
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Adding my congratulations to Ross!
I enjoy both of Ross' programs this season, and his hard work and determination re the quad is paying off! So glad he was rewarded for his wonderful skating in both his sp and fp. I think Ross deserved higher PCS too in the fp at NHK. He sure must feel like Japan is his lucky charm. But of course the luck doesn't happen without talent, hard work and perseverance. Ross went out there and decided he was going to nail that opening quad, and he did!
With due respect to Richard and Adam too for hanging in there. Of course there is no telling what will happen at Nationals. But for early season comps, and with Evan out with injury and Johnny recovering from injury, I think the verdict is in: Jeremy and Ross for the 2013 World team! I'm hoping that is the way it will work out at Nationals. Richard obviously also has a good chance to be very competitive, and there will be no lack of challengers, including Farris, Aaron, Messing, Mahbahnoozadeh, Razzano, et al. I'm also looking forward to seeing how Jason Brown will fare at Nationals in January. It would be great to see Jason Brown and Jonathan Cassar master 3-axels as they both possess superb artistry and musicality.

I didn't realise it was Ross' first quad. Well done Ross! A new member of the Quad Squad. (Don't forget to pick up your t-shirt!)
Since the standings at the 2013 worlds will determine the number of spots in the 2014 Olympics, I would rather have an experienced skater like Jeremy- than a rookie- as one of the skaters on the team. If Ross skates well at the nationals, he fully deserves the spot too.
I used to think getting 3 spots for the Olympics were VERY important. But I don't think like that anymore. If Joshua wins a silver medal at US Nationals, I hope he'll be selected to the World team. (Well, if he wins, he'll be on the team for sure) Rookie or not, he needs the experience to compete as senior internationally. He has a real chance to be on the Olympic team. It's better for Joshua to be a rookie at this year's senior World, then as a rookie at the Olympics.
I'm thinking long term... My bet for the US Olympic team: Miner and Farris.
To be honest, I'm not a big Farris fan YET. But I see the potential. I can tell for sure Joshua will not be the top 6 at Worlds even if he lands all his jumps (including quad): Assume everyone else skate close to their usual level/ability. Realistically, he'll be somewhere between 8-12 at Worlds. On the technical side, he needs to work on spins. His PCS score is about 6-7s. He lacks connection to the music. The programs (both SP and LP) do not match his skating elements that well. His emotion involvement to the music comes and goes. But once in a while, I can tell he was completely aware of the music and reacted to it. That gives me a glimpse of hope that he may break thru the presentation mark in the future. I saw the same at Ross two years ago. When I predicted Ross was the next US leading man couple years ago, most FSUers didn't agree. Joshua may not be a 'total package' now. But I think he'll get there. Even though I may sound harsh with my criticism about Joshua's skating, I truly do believe he has the good to become the US leading man.
Anyways. I say Worlds team, at this point, should be Miner and Aaron. Then Abbott, Dornbush, and Farris for 4CC. I wish they'd spread the wealth and not make the two teams the same.
What's Aaron done this season that's so great? He wasn't even on the GP, was he?
I saw Ross at Skate Canada this year and was really impressed by his hard work and determination. He popped the 4S in the FS but sold the heck out of the rest of the program. He seemed much more intune to the music and connected more to the audience than he did at Nationals. If you want to send Ross some congratulations, he has a website at www.rossminer.net.
I sent him a message because I was so happy for him for landing the first quad in competition at NHK and for holding onto his composure in a deep field!
I have really enjoyed Adam since his senior debut, but am seriously thinking he is never going to have a reliable 3A or quad. His skating now is not playing to his strengths and he certainly did not look happy in the K&C here or at his first GP.
I will say that the real contenders for the Worlds team are Ross, Richard and Jeremy. I realize that Ross and Jeremy have an edge right now but Richard has so much raw talent, I must include him (it also may be due to the fact that I'm an uber).
Seriously, I don't know what Richard's issues are this year. He said poorly mounted blades did him in last year, but what's the problem this year? The Quad is hit or miss. It's really got to become more 'hit' for him to move forward. FWIW, that seems to be his only issue right now and Ross has been far from perfect with the 4sal. Jeremy is in the same boat: He's just as wobbly as ever and it's not just on the Quad. But Jeremy's PCS will carry him on a day where everyone is close in points.
I see the rest of the US men like this -
I foresee Joshua being a spoiler for the '13 Worlds team in a case where any two of Jeremy, Ross or Richard perform poorly, the judges may decide to reward Joshua to World team status and thus sending him to Worlds, just to get him experience for Sochi and beyond.
Outside shots for the podium, but not necessarily the team this year, are Keegan and Max. Both are honing their talents slowly but surely. Max is actually watchable and he's somehow rising above the Tom Z choreography so I see a future for him. Keegan is really admirable and he's going for it this season, but his Quad is more miss than hit right now. Plus, I don't see him as a fave of the USFSA at this point. He just needs more 'presence' on the ice to stand out among all of the aforementioned US men.
Poor Adam. He's trying but he's slowly sinking into the abyss. A small ray of hope is that he looks like he'd rather die than surrender the 3x (judging by the landings at NHK) and maybe a little more time w/ Arutunian will help. Also, Adam skates a lot more aggressively these days and I contribute that to Arutunian and Michael Seibert as well. But, even fairly clean, he has clearly slipped behind a flawed Richard by a health margin as far as international judges are concerned. In fact, I think his SB total this year is lower than what it was last season!
Stephen, Armin, Douglas and Grant have now shown any movement forward from last season. Still the same issues. I had some hope for Armin, but he's not really breaking out despite some early success w/ the Quad this season. Stephen is hot and cold on any given jump on any given day, despite the maturity he's shown in his presentation over the past 2 seasons. Douglas drew notice for some success w/ the 4toe back in the '10 - '11 season but I don't think he's landed a clean one since then. Grant still isn't solid with the 3x, despite a couple of season of trying.
Jason is safe due to his Jr. status ... for now. But, he needs to step it up w/ at least a solid 3x.
I don't think we'll ever see Evan again. And the cards are not falling in place for Johnny to be a top threat (injury, interests elsewhere - family, TV show)
Ricky's main issues right now are quads and the fact that he is not a good short program skater. The quad needs to become consistent because he's been skating good long programs all season minus the quad. I'm happy his 3a is back. But, even with the quad - he needs to work on his nerves during the short program. He falls on a rotated quad and then messes up the combo almost every time and he can't afford that. I do appreciate that he goes out for it each time in both the short and the long program though. I definitely think he, Ross, Jeremy and Joshua are the favorites right now for medals and I agree that Keegan and Max are the spoilers. It's going to be a bloodbath either way because there's not really one person who's standing out right now based on results so it's really anybody's game.
"I miss footwork that has any kind of a discernible pattern. The goal of a step sequence should not be for a skater to show the same ice coverage as a Zamboni and take about as much time as an ice resurface. " ~ Zemgirl, reflecting on a pre-IJS straight line sequence
I don't see Farris as being ready to jump to the podium at Nationals as yet. Better for him to go to Jr. Worlds & win & have a shot at a spot on the GP next year. My gut is telling me it will be Miner & Abbott going to Worlds this year. Too soon to predict for the Olympic team altho I do think that Ross will make it. He keeps improving step by step, competition by competition.
I guess the World team will consist of the 2 men among Abbott, Farris, Miner, Dornbush and perhaps Rippon who land the most quads and 3axels at Nationals. The others are a bit low in the world rankings and that would mean skating too early in the short program. The US Fed must be extremely clueless as to who to support, with none of the senior men making GPF.
I say take a chance with Farris and Miner. Give them a little cushion. If they skate solid enough at Nationals, then send them to 4CCs (with Abbott or Dornbush) and then to Worlds. The chance of dropping to one spot is not that high, and there really isn't another combination that has a high chance to bringing back the 3rd spot anyways. Abbott almost always peaks around Nationals or 4CCs and pops too often.
My picks are Ross Miner/ Jeremy Abbott.
IMO USFSA will be picking the two skaters that could/have potential to score a 70+ SP and 160+ LP.
My dark horse is Joshua Ferris.
Max Aaron and Keegan Messing have done great without having GP spots, but realistically they are in the same boat as Richard Dornbush.
Unfortunately (and I'm pretty sure about this!) Adam Rippon, Armin Mahbanoozadeh, Johnny Weir, and Evan Lysacek are out of contention for the world team.
For the world team
For 4CC: (Abbott will skip it to rest I'm sure)
Miner and a combination of Ferris/Messing/Dornbush/Aaron.
I do think it is important for the U.S. men to bring back 3 spots for next season. That will provide another spot and more opportunity for perhaps an up-and-comer like Joshua to gain experience for the next cycle (post Sochi), if Joshua is lucky enough next year to grab a third spot at Nationals. It's important to review everything in addition to looking at who has performed strongly on the senior GP circuit. In making judgments, I think taking a "long term" approach to selecting the World team this season is a rather risky strategy.
Just because Jeremy has had some physical problems this season (and has also suffered from inconsistencies under pressure) does not mean he isn't talented and competitive with the best men in the world, IMHO. Jeremy has two of the best programs among all men this season, and his artistry surpasses Chan's and is at the least competitive with Dai's, if not superior to his as well. Of course, Jeremy needs to meld technical consistency with his unparalled artistry. Sure, Jeremy will also need to perform like he is the front-runner at Nationals, but I still have faith in Jeremy.
I agree with olympic that Richard is very talented too and will be in the mix competitively at Nationals, as should Adam if he can master his jumps and feel more comfortable with his new programs. I really like Richard's sp and he has a competent fp as well. However, Richard seems to still be working on building his confidence under pressure. Joshua, IMO will do well to perform to his abilities and get into bronze medal position at Nationals, but I think more likely it will be a victory for Joshua simply to make the top five at Nationals after his poor showing at Nationals 2012. If Joshua does well at Nationals 2013, he should probably be sent to 4CCs, and then try to win Junior Worlds. Mahbahnoozadeh and Razzano might also successfully land quads at Nationals, so it's not a slam dunk that Aaron and Farris will be leapfrogging over everyone.
While Max Aaron is a good quad jumper, he needs to work on many other areas of his skating and presentation skills, IMO. Keegan Messing has more charisma and entertaining programs than Aaron, but Messing also still needs a chance to build confidence and reputation and to work on consistency. It would be a mistake, IMO, to send junior skaters and up-and-comers who have never performed on the senior GP circuit to Worlds. Even should they skate clean, they will be low-balled. In 2011, Ross had made appearances on the senior GP circuit and Richard was the junior GPF champion and they both skated cleanly at Worlds 2011, but were completely low-balled in the marks because of their unknown factor (even with quads I doubt they would have been given the marks they deserved due to lack of reputation and high profile with the ISU judges).
No matter what happens, I'm looking forward to a strong competition at Nationals in the singles events. In a way, the fact no U.S. guys made GPF is fine. They should focus on working hard to prevail at Nationals and peak at Worlds (those who are selected to go ... again I'm hoping it's Ross and Jeremy and that they perform to their absolute best at Worlds and bring back 3 spots for next season).
I hope Jeremy is able to heal up, lose weight, and be on top of his game come Nationals. Sure looks doubtful at the moment, though. I hope he's well enough to get some quad practice in.
I do think Ross and Jeremy would give the highest placement potential at Worlds, but , still getting the 3 spots back is unlikely.

Fishkind Commentary: Gov. Scott's Budget Proposal Will Impact Central Florida
February 26, 2013 | WMFE - One week from today the state legislature will officially begin its annual 60-day legislative session. Economic analyst Hank Fishkind says many of the proposals under consideration in Tallahassee this year will have economic impacts here in central Florida.
Next week Dr. Fishkind will discus some of the legislative proposals that will directly impact us here in central Florida. This week, he analyzed Gov. Rick Scott's $74 billion dollar budget proposal. If approved, it would be a $4 billion dollar increase in spending, the largest increase in more than a decade and a surplus of more than $1 billion dollars. WMFE's Tom Parkinson asked Fishkind how we got to this point.

An arrhythmia is a disorder of the heart rate
(pulse) or heart rhythm, such as beating too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly.
Abnormal heart rhythms; Bradycardia; Tachycardia
Normally, your heart works as a pump that brings blood to the lungs and the rest of the body.
To help this happen, your heart has an electrical system that makes sure it contracts (squeezes) in an orderly way.
Arrhythmias are caused by problems with the heart's electrical conduction system.
Some common causes of abnormal heartbeats are:
Arrhythmias may also be caused by some substances or drugs, including:
Sometimes anti-arrhythmic medications -- prescribed to treat one type of arrhythmia -- will cause another type of arrhythmia.
Some of the more common abnormal heart rhythms are:
When you have an arrhythmia, your heartbeat may be:
An arrhythmia may be present all of the time or it may come and go. You may or may not feel symptoms when the arrhythmia is present. Or, you may only notice symptoms when you are more active.
Symptoms can be very mild, or they may be severe or even life-threatening.
Common symptoms that may occur when the arrhythmia is present include:
The doctor will listen to your heart with a stethoscope and feel your pulse. Your blood pressure may be low or normal.
Heart monitoring devices are often used to identify the rhythm problem, such as a:
Other tests may be done to look at heart function:
A special test, called an electrophysiology study
(EPS), is done to take a closer look at the heart's electrical system.
When an arrhythmia is serious, you may need urgent treatment to restore a normal rhythm. This may include:
Sometimes, getting better treatment for your angina or heart failure will decrease the chance of having an arrhythmia.
Medications called anti-arrhythmic drugs may be used:
Some of these medicines can have side effects. Take them as prescribed by your health care provider. Do not stop taking the medicine or change the dose without first talking to your health care provider.
Other treatments to prevent or treat abnormal heart rhythms include:
The outcome depends on several factors:
Call your health care provider if:
Taking steps to prevent coronary artery disease
may reduce your chance of developing an arrhythmia.

I have a chance to bag some gear that I've wanted, but, to do so: I need money!
For your consideration:
Carver Amazing Loudspeaker (original version)
I've expounded on these ad naseum and I believe them to be one of the finest loudspeakers that you can find. I'm the second owner, essentially only user of these. Operationally flawless. These are in excellent shape, one or two miniscule nicks which are all but invisible. Grill cloths are in excellent condition. Badges are both present. I had the grilles off a few weeks ago, woofer surrounds are pristine. The only *issue* is that when I got them I had to redrill the holes that attach the bases. This is common enough with these speakers and in no way affects appearance or performance. These are my children and have been treated as such. I have the original boxes and manual. You are highly encouraged to audition them before you buy them in my home. As a last resort, I'd be willing to meet or deliver a *reasonable* distance. I am located in Charleston SC.
Price: 1,000 dollars. You MIGHT be able to find a cheaper pair but I doubt you will find a lower mileage pair.
Carver Silver 9t amplifiers - SOLD
575 wpc into 8 ohms. 900 wpc into 4. I have the acryillic bases and owner's manual. I don't believe I have the original boxes. Operationally flawless. Couple of minor scratches on the top of the amps but nothing terribly noticable. One of the meter lamps is out at this time. I had planned to replace them with blue lamps but just haven't gotten around to it.
IF someone is interested in both items, we can talk. I'd prefer to sell them together but usually systems don't tend to sell well.
Pictures of both items can be found HERE
If you want additional info, lemme know.
Thanks for looking!

One Direction Where We Are Tour
Not since the Beatles took the world by storm in the '60s has a British boy band (or to be more accurate, a British-Irish boy band) been so popular, and One Direction is only getting started. The five-some got their start by finishing third in "The X Factor" in England, an American Idol like show created by Simon Cowell. They soon released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," and then their first album, "Up All Night," and before long they were the hottest band on the planet and are still winning over new fans every day with recent appearances on "Saturday Night Live" and "iCarly." Their debut record hit #1 on the U.S. charts, which made them the first band from the U.K. to achieve that feat. After all that success, the band announced the first One Direction concert tour, and to no one's surprise it sold out in record time. One Direction concert tickets are red-hot, and GoTickets has great 1D tickets for every show.
The demand for tickets was incredible for the first leg of the One Direction concert schedule, so the band's promoters made the almost unprecedented move to announce the 2014 One Direction tour schedule nearly over a yea rin advance. The 2014 One Direction tour dates are expected to once again sell out in a matter of minutes, but GoTickets always has sold out concert tickets, including great One Direction concert seats for all the stops on the 1D tour.
Whether you want to sit on the floor and get the chance to reach out and touch Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne or Harry Styles, or you want something more economical in the upper level, GoTickets has the right One Direction concert tickets for you. We allow you to take your pick from hundreds of different options so you can select the right 1D show tickets based on your individual preferences and budget. But don't miss out and don't wait until it's too late. Now is the time to lock in your One Direction tickets.

The 360 has some of the best lines we've seen in an express cruiser. Cobalt blends performance and luxury with this model.
Go ahead and throw a party on your boat, because the 360 has the room to seat all your friends.
The helm is almost two-thirds the width of the vessel and provides enough room for two at the captain's chair. For 2003, the 360 is equipped with ZF electronic engine controls for the throttles and dr
This luxury performance cruiser combines contemporary styling, innovation and extensive attention to details.
A beautiful granite counter top is complimented by a polished stainless steel sink and faucet. Neatly concealed behind the cherry cabinet doors are a microwave oven and a refrigerator below.
This area converts into the main berth with the addition of three filler cushions. A CD stereo provides the cabin ambiance, along with a DVD player and flat screen TV monitor.
Cobalt's 360 Blends Performance and LuxuryTested by Capt. Ron SvobodaThe largest boat in the Cobalt line is the 360. She is geared toward customers seeking the best that the cruising and performance boating worlds have to offer. By combining world-class quality and exciting performance, the engineers at Cobalt have truly developed a vessel with few compromises. This luxury performance cruiser combines contemporary styling, innovation and extensive attention to details. The Walk-ThruAs we begin our tour of the 360, we find a large swim platform and a centerline transom walk-thru, both can be finished with optional teak. Flanking the port and starboard sides are sun lounges, drink holders and small storage hatches. Inside two of the hatches are waterproof stereo speakers, innovatively mounted to the under side of the hatch. When open, these speakers provide those aft in the water the opportunity to enjoy the music of the day. Moving forward into the 360's cockpit, we find a large U-shaped settee to starboard and a smaller L-shaped settee to port. Just forward is a wet-bar with sink and storage cabinets below. Below all the cushions in the cockpit is storage space for large items such as safety gear or fenders. The HelmThe starboard side helm is impressive with its array of gauges, controls and electronic instrumentation. The helm is almost two-thirds the width of the vessel and provides enough room for two at the captain's chair. The dash is finished in jet black with leatherette and real Bubinga wood accents. Everything is well laid out, easy to read and easy to use. Kiekhaefer controls come standard on this boat. For 2003, the 360 is equipped with optional ZF electronic engine controls for the throttles and drives. These control units are among the latest 'fly-by-wire' technologies making their way to the consumer market place. The amazing ease of use does take some getting used to, since most of the other controls on the water these days require a heavy hand to strong arm the controls to perform. Another subtlety at the helm is the pop-out step and sure-footed access to the foredeck. Here you will find rubberized traction leading to the wide, folding glass windshield. Finishing off the cockpit amenities is a molded fiberglass radar arch to provide you with all the space you'll need for antennas and for securing the convertible top. Below DeckAccess through the companionway is via a sliding, smoked acrylic door. A few steps down and you're in the 360's cabin, where the decor is that of a fine, European motor yacht. One of the trademarks of Cobalt's quality is their attention to detail. This is apparent in the cabin, where the handsomely appointed interior is finished in cherry wood and supple tan leather upholstery. One of the first things to catch your eye below deck is the 360's galley, which is located to port. A beautiful Zodiac counter top is complimented by a polished stainless steel sink and faucet. Neatly concealed behind the cherry cabinet doors is a microwave oven and a refrigerator below.Forward is a V-shaped, leather settee and cherry wood dining table. There is lots of room here to relax, or to enjoy your gourmet meals. This area converts into the main berth with the addition of three filler cushions. A CD stereo provides the cabin ambiance, along with a DVD player and flat screen TV monitor. These are located in a starboard side cabinet that also houses a cedar lined hanging closet and two drawers for your wardrobe items. Directly aft of this cabinet is the head. Here you have a Vacu-flush toilet, vanity with sink, and shower. The 360's layout includes an aft cabin for your guests or children. It has a deep, double berth, but may be a bit claustrophobic for some of us. The Business EndBack at the helm, we put the 360 through its paces. Cobalt offers several gasoline engine packages from either Volvo Penta or MerCruiser. If you wish to go with diesel engines, then you can choose from either MerCruiser or Volvo Penta power plants. Whether you choose gas or diesel, the stern drive configuration provides good space management and makes minor maintenance a breeze. Performance and handling are remarkable for a boat of this size. There is some prop slip half way through the acceleration curve, but once on plane, the ride is excellent. The 360 is nimble and carves turns better than some sportboats that are half her size. With the effortless electronic throttles and superb power steering, we performed slaloms during the test at full throttle using literally one finger to steer. The Cobalt 360 is a fine blend of performance and luxury. The only compromises I found were that the cabin headroom was awkward for us tall folks, and that the aft cabin could really only be enjoyed by children. But after driving this boat I quickly forgot about those things.Cobalt is top of the line in quality, and you will pay for it. But your resale value will also be higher, and your problems should be far less. Someone once said, "you never regret buying the best."

I can't imagine that they would pick Polina, especially after the junior ladies who skated lights out and got much better scores than her in seniors. And I have no idea what they're going to do since Hannah (especially since the ISU judges seem to love her for some odd reason) and Angela are both JGPF medalists, but they're both behind Cesario, Hicks, and Siraj. The JWs selection process is going to be tough!

When one of his oldest friends, Bruenor Battlehammer, chooses to spend his final days searching for the fabled dwarf kingdom of Gauntlgrym, Drizzt readily agrees. But before Drizzt and Bruenor even get close to finding the lost city, the dwarf assassin Athrogate, black-widow elf Dahlia, and Drizzt's old nemesis Jarlaxle stumble upon it first. In their search for riches and magic, the three treasure hunters inadvertently set into motion a catastrophe that could spell disaster for the unsuspecting people of the city of Neverwinter—a catastrophe big enough to set even the mercenary Jarlaxle into risking his own coin and skin to stop it. Unfortunately, the more they uncover about the secret of Gauntlgrym, the more it looks like they can't stop the impending disaster on their own. They'll need help, and from the last people they ever thought to fight alongside again: Drizzt and Bruenor.
Drizzt joins these new companions with a conflicted heart. The promise of adventure appeals to a primal part of him. But his lust for battle is growing stronger. Is he really is no different from any other dark elf? If he loses the last of his trusted companions, will his drow nature claim him at last? Will his new companions lead him into temptation or deliver him from his darkest desires?
Once a glittering beacon of civilization, the Jewel of the North now promises death to the timid, glory to the bold, and danger for all. This is Neverwinter: join the adventure, choose your faction, and change the game!
