The forward stateroom's arrangement entails two overlapping quarter berths. This allows you to separate the kids or, by using the supplied filler, make a double berth when a couple is aboard. A hatch here provides access to the rode locker. Other manufacturers have neglected this necessity. A door provides private access to the day head.
The galley is fully equipped. Most notable are the steps leading down to it. Lift them up: Inside is a huge utility room where big items will stow easily. Order the optional washer/dryer ($2,333) and this is where it lives.
The Highs: Spectacular! A three-section head! Maintenance made easy thanks to sensible placement of fixtures and equipment. Details: barrel nuts, cable ports, and burled-wood medallions abound.
The Lows: Get a real boarding gate. I wouldn't want to slam against a cable and a clip. Ground connections in the bilge were unsealed-and underwater. Ask about the props.
EXTRA POINT: The 390 Motor Yacht's bow thruster runs off of a dedicated 24-volt battery bank, which reduces amperage draw and ensures that the starting and house banks aren't drawn down by the thruster.

Slumming With Ted Nugent Backfires Gloriously for Texas Candidate
Last week, I got an email from Wendy Davis's campaign, telling me that I should be outraged that Greg Abbott, a candidate for governor (and current attorney general of my fine home state of Texas) was palling around with noted idiot, sexist, racist nutbag Ted Nugent. My immediate reaction? Good. Seriously.

A gala was held Thursday to raise money for the non-profit organization ISOH/IMPACT.
They are still unsure how much was raised, but the president of the organization, Dr. Linda Greene, said she thinks it was close to $400,000.
"It humbles me, it makes me excited, and it's transforming how I feel about people," Greene said. "It's a continuous evolution of how if you reach out and touch somebody, you're going to create a chain of activity that will make an impact, that will outlast you forever."
The money raised will be matched through a grant donation provided by the Diehl Family Foundation. All the money will help ISOH/IMPACT build a new facility, which they desperately need.
The new facility would be three times the size of their current space, with loading docks, parking space, and offices. Greene said there may even be healthcare services.
The event was the first annual Hope Gala, held at the Garden Hilton Inn. There was a silent auction and mystery raffle.
ISOH/IMPACT comes to people's aid anytime there is a disaster. They often provide blankets, food, medicine, and other important supplies to people in need.

Me too, ML. You have to admit that they are extremely generous people, frequently offering to place millions of dollars in the bank accounts of complete strangers. Gotta love them.
On the other hand, Chuck posted a message advocating pre-emptive nu-cu-lar strikes against Nigeria and half a dozen other inconvenient countries. I sure do hope that the $23 million which is headed for my bank account from the widow of a highly placed Nigerian government official gets here before we start bombing.

Suspend Balance Game
A family game of tricky hangs and steady hands! Try this hanging balance game and you'll be hooked! Suspend comes with 24 notched, rubber-tipped wire pieces to hang from a tabletop stand. Sound easy? Try adding another piece! Each time a bar is added, the balance shifts, the difficulty changes and the incredible midair sculpture transforms. Can you add all your game pieces without making it fall? This tricky game for 1-4 players is a test of steady nerves and steady hands.
You can only use one hand to place a piece. If you touch any of the suspended game pieces with your other hand during your turn, you have to take back your piece, and you lose your turn. Once you remove your hand from the piece, the move is complete. You can hang your piece from any part of another game piece EXCEPT a spot (notch or straight section) that is already occupied. (But if you hang your piece on an open notch or straight section and it slides to an occupied spot, that is allowed.)-Determine at the beginning of the game whether the wooden connector will be in play as a hanging point. If you hang a piece that causes a part of the structure to touch the play surface, you have to reposition your piece. If you cause one or more pieces to fall, you have to pick them up and add them to your pile.

The voice of the Virginia State Police in our area: Sgt. Robert Carpentieri
Sgt Robert Carpentieri, originally from just outside of Buffalo, New York, has served as the Public Information Sergeant for the Virginia State Police Department for eight years. Carpentieri is responsible for the Salem division which encompasses fourteen counties including Botetourt County.
The public might know him better as the voice of the Virginia Police Department as his job includes keeping the public informed by reporting things like traffic fatalities and accidents, criminal activity, and state police investigations by speaking directly with the media on these issues. In Botetourt, he frequently announces the details of car and truck crashes on I-81 and other county highways and roads.
Carpentieri while still living in New York had aspirations of working in the New York Police Department but because the departments enormity it was nearly impossible for him to get involved. He claimed that he had always wanted to be a trooper and was able to fulfill his desire by moving to Virginia where he first worked for the Roanoke City Police Department.
Passionate about his job he mentioned the thing that he liked the best was the variety. "My job is interesting because I get to do something interesting every day," Carpentieri said in an interview. Not only does his occupation require him to be a police officer but it often allows him to be a guidance counselor as well. "I want to let the people know that policemen do more than just write tickets," Carpentieri explained. He dedicates a lot of his time to public safety programs with schools, civic organizations, retirement communities and job fairs in the business atmosphere. These programs include crime prevention tips and keeping the public informed about obscure laws.
More recently he participated in an event with a DUI/Texting Simulator geared toward the teenage generation to help them experience and better understand the consequences of drunk driving and texting while driving. Carpentieri also helped make a video for a high profile campaign at Virginia Tech about the Move Over Law to pass out to organizations.
Carpentieri explained that his job can be very stressful at times, especially when you work 9-5 and are on call the remainder of the time. "The phone rings a lot and people want to know things immediately most of the time but it is important that we don't give out any information that could jeopardize an investigation," Capentieri says. But aside from the stress he admits that his job has allowed him some great opportunities and even to meet dignitaries and celebrities.
In December Carpentieri was approached by a friend who wanted him and a few of the men at the police department to sign a card for a six year old boy she knew who is suffering from terminal cancer. Carpentieri agreed to do so and sent out some e-mails to some co-workers and pretty soon it had gone viral. The e-mail and information about this little boy had reached from little Virginia all the way to Japan. The little boy, Nathan Norman, from Rustburg, VA, did not only receive cards signed by prestigious peoples from all over the world but gifts and visits from police officers. He was even invited to Richmond by the governor to light the Christmas tree.
He claims that his main goal is to represent the department well by promoting them in a positive way and leave the people with a good impressions. When he was informed that he would be on national television to talk more about the story of Nathan Norman he humbly said, "I appreciate the credit, but it's not all about me, you know?"
Sgt. Carpentieri has truly made a difference through his work and testimonies.

Early Sunday, rainwater, mud and debris poured down the hollows on both sides of Kayford Mountain. Residents blamed the flooding of their communities on the mountaintop-removal mine up the hill.
Earlier this year, as part of a still-unreleased study, federal experts found that these residents have reason to complain.
Mountaintop removal and other strip mining makes flooding more likely and can make floods that do occur worse, according to the study.
In fact, the study pinpointed potential flooding problems from Arch Coal Inc.'s huge Samples Mine, which straddles Kayford Mountain. The mine drains into Cabin Creek on the northern side, and Seng Creek to the south.
Mining in the area could increase peak storm runoff by up to 10 percent, according to an analysis by the U.S. Office of Surface Mining and the Army Corps of Engineers.
OSM and the Corps studied flooding potential at the Samples Mine and other operations as part of a broad study of mountaintop removal's environmental impacts.
In December 1998, federal government lawyers agreed to the study to settle part of a federal court lawsuit over mountaintop removal.
Officials from the U.S. Department of Justice promised that the study would be completed within two years. But the project has been repeatedly delayed, and no results have been formally published.
Earlier this year, The Charleston Gazette obtained thousands of pages of draft study documents through a federal Freedom of Information Act request.
Among the documents were several draft OSM and Corps studies of whether mining adds to coalfield flooding problems.
Corps and OSM engineers ran computer models to predict the runoff at the Samples Mine and another Arch Coal operation, the Hobet 21 Mine along the Boone-Lincoln county line.
At the Samples operation, the engineers studied the effects of two large valley fills. They found that one would increase peak runoff flow by about 3 percent, and the other by 13 percent.
At Hobet 21, a huge valley fill in Lincoln County would increase peak runoff flow by about 42 percent, the engineers found.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A federal judge has refused to halt payments from a BP fund to compensate deckhands and other seafood workers harmed financially by the 2010 Gulf oil spill.
The oil giant sought the delay because of investigations into alleged fraud by a Texas lawyer.
BP argues the $2.3 billion it agreed to put into the oil spill seafood compensation fund was inflated, based on the belief that Mikal (MEYE'-kahl) Watts represented more than 40,000 clients.
BP claims that more than half of the Social Security numbers on Watts' client list were fake.
More than $1 billion of the fund has been distributed. BP wanted a second round of payments suspended.
U.S. District Court Judge Carl Barbier on Wednesday said a suspension was unnecessary because the second round of payments is months away.

MSK1 regulates homeostatic and experience-dependent synaptic plasticity
Corrêa, Sônia A. L., Hunter, Christopher J., Palygin, Oleg, Wauters, Sandrine, Martin, Kirsty J., McKenzie, Colin, McKelvey, Kim, Morris, R. G. M. (Richard G. M.), Pankratov, Yuriy, Arthur, J. Simon C. and Frenguelli, Bruno G.. (2012) MSK1 regulates homeostatic and experience-dependent synaptic plasticity. Journal of Neuroscience, Vol.32 (No.38). pp. 13039-13051. ISSN 0270-6474

The ability of neurons to modulate synaptic strength underpins synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, and adaptation to sensory experience. Despite the importance of synaptic adaptation in directing, reinforcing, and revising the behavioral response to environmental influences, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic adaptation are far from clear. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a prime initiator of structural and functional synaptic adaptation. However, the signaling cascade activated by BDNF to initiate these adaptive changes has not been elucidated. We have previously shown that BDNF activates mitogen- and stress-activated kinase 1 (MSK1), which regulates gene transcription via the phosphorylation of both CREB and histone H3. Using mice with a kinase-dead knock-in mutation of MSK1, we now show that MSK1 is necessary for the upregulation of synaptic strength in response to environmental enrichment in vivo. Furthermore, neurons from MSK1 kinase-dead mice failed to show scaling of synaptic transmission in response to activity deprivation in vitro, a deficit that could be rescued by reintroduction of wild-type MSK1. We also show that MSK1 forms part of a BDNF-and MAPK-dependent signaling cascade required for homeostatic synaptic scaling, which likely resides in the ability of MSK1 to regulate cell surface GluA1 expression via the induction of Arc/Arg3.1. These results demonstrate that MSK1 is an integral part of a signaling pathway that underlies the adaptive response to synaptic and environmental experience. MSK1 may thus act as a key homeostat in the activity- and experience-dependent regulation of synaptic strength.

Not What I Expected from Blue Nile
I was looking for a pair of earrings that would make her say "Wow!" and these were not them, unfortunately. I may be too picky, but the studs were noticeably different in size and color and was just unacceptable to give as nice gift. Judging by the reviews, perhaps my order was just a one time issue. I ended up spending about $40 more at a local jewelry store for 7mm studs, but they came in a nice box and were more acceptable for a gift. On another note, the customer service of Blue Nile was outstanding and I would not hesitate to buy from them again. Give yourself some time in case they are not what you want!
Reasonable Size Earrings for Work
I think the luster is okay. Considering the price, I believe these earrings are a good value.
loved them
loved it they were perfect and high quality at least from what i can tell. Beautiful piece.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase, the size is just right and the quality is excellent. I haven't taken them off since I got them.
Hasn't taken them off
My wife loved these pearls. We received them the day before our wedding and my wife hasn't taken them off in the last two weeks.
She is very satisfied with these earrings.
They were as advertised. Quality seems very good.
A very practical but beautiful "just because" gift
Great earrings for a great price.
Love the pearls!
They are perfectly sized and compliment any outfit. I love you beautiful they are!
she won't see them till the end of Nov.
I'm not a jewellery expert or connoisseur
They're a staple!
I love these! They are the perfect size and color. They are beautiful and have become a staple in my jewelry choices!
I am in love
I love my earring. the price was right and the quality exceptional.
she loves these earrings
pearls were lusterous, exactly what i thought they would be like.
Her first grownup jewelry
My granddaughter wanted pearl earrings for her sixteenth birthday. These were beautiful, flawless, and an excellent value for the money. She loved them!

Mitt Romney at Bain Capital
Romney Stirs Up Democratic Base
by Randy Shaw' Mar. 12' 2012
Mitt Romney bores Republicans, but he is galvanizing progressive support for President Obama. Romney�s attacks on immigrants, refusal to challenge Rush Limbaugh�s
calling women sluts
, and Dick Cheney-like rhetoric about waging war against Iran have bolstered the President among three key constituencies disappointed with his first term: Latinos, young people, and anti-war activists. Progressives long frustrated by Obama relish his denouncing Romney�s �bomb first, ask questions later� Iran policy, and appreciate his chiding the GOP frontrunner�s refusal to criticize Limbaugh. And despite Latino disappointment with Obama�s performance on immigration reform, Romney�s plan for �self-deportation� and backing of Arizona�s anti-Latino law as a �model for the nation� has given the President a 70%-14% lead among this crucial constituency.
Contrary to popular perception, Mitt Romney is a great community organizer. Unfortunately for the GOP, he is organizing people to mobilize against him.
Romney appears to be going out of his way to energize the most disillusioned components of the Democratic base. Barack Obama�s campaign has lots of money, but there is no way it could match Romney�s success at getting this base to align with the President.
Consider Romney�s efforts to push these disaffected constituencies into not simply voting for Obama, but likely working on his behalf:
Anti-War Voters:
Progressives disappointed by Obama�s escalation in Afghanistan and the ongoing war without end were reminded last week of the Republican alternative: a new war with Iran that would make the Iraq disaster seem like a cakewalk. The Iran debate shows that Romney, John McCain and other Republicans learned nothing from Iraq, and are willing to spend billions of dollars and sacrifice tens of thousands of lives for their military fantasies.
Obama�s stern response to Romney�s bellicose rhetoric recalled the President�s 2002 anti-Iraq war stance. Perhaps his visits to Walter Reed hospital have, as he suggests, impacted his outlook.
Young People:
Young people coming out of college jobless and deep in debt were frustrated by the President�s delayed focus on job creation. But after seeing Romney and the Republican Party declare war on birth control and women�s health needs � as well as on gay rights, Latinos, the environment and on college itself � young voters are squarely in Obama�s camp.
A February 28, 2012
Rolling Stone
article, �Why Democrats Have a Problem with Young Voters,�
cited what author
Rick Perlstein described as �worrying� polls showing declines in young people�s percentage of the overall electorate, as well as their levels of Democratic registration from 2008 to 2011. Yet such polls ignore the impact of campus voter registration efforts during presidential election years, and the lack of such drives in years like 2011, which lacked national elections.
Young people did not vote in 2010, which is why Republicans took the House, legislative statehouses, and the governorships of Wisconsin, Ohio, and other states. But if anyone doubted whether young people would turn out in large numbers in 2012, Romney�s campaign has ensured this � to Obama and the Democrats benefit.
Latino Voters:
Despite polls showing a majority of Latinos disapproving Obama�s performance on immigration reform, as of last week this key constituency backed Obama over Romney by a remarkable
70%-14% margin
. Even a majority of Latino voters who backed McCain in 2008 are now backing the President.
Give Romney credit for this record low GOP Latino support. His call for Latino �self-deportation� and description of Arizona�s anti-Latino immigrant law as a �model for the nation� have moved even Republican Latinos into Obama�s camp.
Romney has gone from employing undocumented workers as gardeners while Governor of Massachusetts to promoting immigration policies far to the right of Gingrich and Santorum. Expect the highest Latino voter turnout in history in November, with Obama maintaining close to his current 6-1 victory margin.
Romney has also done a great job mobilizing women voters for the President, particularly those who use birth control. And the more Romney and fellow Republicans promote the Sarah Palin �drill, baby, drill� agenda, the more once disappointed environmentalists feel obligated to work hard on Obama�s behalf.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not always the case that progressives move to support a Democrat in the face of a right-wing Republican challenge. Progressives abandoned Jimmy Carter for Citizens Party candidate Barry Commoner in the 1980 race against Ronald Reagan, and I did not see many progressives going all out for Walter Mondale in 1984.
The difference in 2012 is the very real risk that a Republican President would also have control of the House and Senate. This broader political reality is why Romney and Santorum have energized progressive support for Obama better than the President�s campaign could do himself.

Randy Johnson's been around the block more than once. He's been modifying cars for the last 21 years and building them seriously since the mid- '90s. Both his decidedly different Camaros wound up on the pages of Car Craft. Lucky lad, he is. But luck had nothing to do with the prescience and the forethought that brought those cars to the strict attention of the savvy, experienced eye.
That exposure was fortuitous. It paved a path to his prime (and primal) avocation: making sleepy-looking cars that all at once retain every bit of their classic Detroit iron lines, are capable of generating monstrous handling, display a sensible power-to-weight ratio, yield supreme driving comfort, and guarantee to elicit bliss from the driver and "oh my God" from the knowing observer. Everything is hidden in plain sight and the list of details, inside and out, is very long indeed. Randy firmly believes in balance, favorable weight distribution, a chassis that has more than enough power to handle the torque, and an engine that can be extorted to the fullest in that chassis.
The stock-body '66 Chevelle on these pages wasn't an SS. It was a Malibu crusted in scuzzy brown primer instead of paint, and it hobbled along with a 283 and a 'Glide. It came from Colorado. It had the magic ingredient: It was absolutely clean underneath and in every blind cranny. It didn't even suffer the usual scabs trailing from the backlight-a perfect project platform.
In this era of supreme overkill, Randy's cars are real, reliable drivers. "What good is 1,000 hp-hell, let's get real stupid, 1,500 hp-if you can't use it?" he asks, but with not a shred of condescension in his voice. "Some people just have to have that number for their big, red egos."
Building horsepower is straightforward and relatively easy. To Randy, building a unique envelope to put it in is a challenge that'll fry your brains. What really motivates this 37-year-old is building the piece, noodling the details, doing stuff that no one has done, and embracing components that are a world away from well-known, if not ordinary, speed equipment.
No stinkin' stock rails would support this bomb, either. Randy went to Schwartz Extreme Performance (Crystal Lake, Illinois) for one of its tubular perimeter frames, crossmembers, and corresponding suspension pieces, then assembled the chassis himself. To make it a roller, he hung a seldom-seen Winters Performance circle-track aluminum axle center assembly (it uses pressed-in Coleman Racing axletubes) with a triangulated four-link, Chester axles, coilovers, and a custom-built splined antisway bar. He put some four-piston Wilwoods in place and stretched the outsized 335 Michelins over foot-wide Kinesis K180 modulars.
"I mimicked the factory triangulation design by running the bottom links straightforward and tipping in the upper bars. I used Heim joints at all the ends, so I don't need to run a Panhard bar to center the axle, and so the diameter of the sway bar can be smaller," Randy confessed.
"At the front of the car, I began with Coleman uprights that have spindles with a Mustang II diameter. That enabled me to use a Wilwood hat that fits the diameter of the spindle. The brake setup is actually for a Mustang II-type suspension.
"I got the LS7 through Jeff Schwartz via GM Performance Parts' Bill Martens. They'd torn down about 30 motors and put forged Mahles in 'em for some kind of CORR truck racing program, I think. The program got scotched and Jeff bought all the motors. That worked right into my SS 427 scheme. That's one thing I love about that motor because it looks so stock. All the SS 427 people come up expecting to see a big-block, and instead they see nothing because the motor sits so low and they wonder what the hell's going on. I love that."
Randy separated body from frame and installed 3-inch mini-tubs, smoothed the firewall, and notched the floor here and there to accommodate the rear suspension members.
Sheetmetal and others parts came from Year One, while he got the repro trim he needed from Restoration World. When it was ready for the shiny coat, Randy trucked it over to Midwest Muscle Car Restoration (Slinger, Wisconsin), where they anointed it with PPG GM '66 Mist Blue.
"Ten or 20 years from now," said Randy, "I wanted the car to still look timeless, not anchored by some paint fad that would immediately identify it with a certain, and perhaps forgettable, period."
While the chassis was still without its body, Randy fit the ancillary systems while the elbow room was plentiful. Be Cool made him a custom radiator and catch can. Rick's Hot Rods built him a custom 19-gallon stainless fuel tank to fit between framerails, which are moved inward 3 inches. Fuel delivery is initiated by a Walbro 255-gph in-tank pump. The 15:1 AGR rack steering got in the way of the first two header tubes on the driver's side, so Randy just went ahead and tweaked them for the necessary wiggle room.
Kwik Wire (Fond du Lac, Wisconsin) builds engine management systems and wire harnesses to put LS crate engines where they're really supposed to be-in old cars. Next stop, the rollers at West Bend Dyno Tune (West Bend, Wisconsin), where after a bit of timing and fuel-table tweaking, the latter-day 427 put down 440 hp and 404 lb-ft of torque.
Obviously Randy's a slave to details, and nowhere is he more intense about them than inside the car. Submerged in fields of black, bright orderly formations of controls and Stewart-Warner meters are frenched into the elegantly understated satin-black aluminum Rocky Mountain Dashes panel. The Vintage Air Gen IV HVAC controls and billet vents fit the scheme with a subtle demeanor. All the control knobs (including one for the ignition key), the delayed wiper system, and the battery hold-down are DSE products. Randy twists a Grant Signature Series tiller and kicks back in Cerullo SC Sport seats sprouting headrests from a truck model. All the black hides and the headliner are the issue of Ace Upholstery (West Bend, Indiana). Pin neat and looking good enough to eat.
Randy has just formed D&Z Customs (LLC) in Kewaskum, Wisconsin, about 30 feet from his house, a building he seeded with money from the sale of his celebrated '67 Camaro. He has already begun to build a machine for his first customer. Realize that at this point D&Z is a serious hobby shop that happens when Randy's not at his regular job with AT&T. All that, and he still has time to spend with his wife, October, son, Dylan (9), and daughter, Zoey (5). Might as well tell you right now, Dylan's got the sickie hot-car gene, too.
