At 43' 2" (13.16 m), some may feel that the 40z is too big for a shorthanded crew. We'll show that it's not.
How Efficient?
Our test of the MJM 40z was powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS600s developing 435-hp.
So let's start by checking out the claim that this boat is fuel-efficient. Our tests show that the 40z reached a top speed of 40.2 kts (46.3 mph) at 3550 rpm. At that speed we were burning 44 gph (166.6 lph) for a range of 288 nautical miles.
When we compare that top speed with other hardtop 40-something express cruisers with a displacement of 18,000 lbs. to 22,000 lbs., I find that she was the fastest of seven boats I looked at. They all had less horsepower except two, and the MJM 40z was from 6 to 8 mph faster at WOT than those two boats.
Best Cruise Tells the Tale
Best cruise is basically a combination of good speed and miles per gallon. Now, from 2000 to 2750 rpm our miles per gallon ranged from 1.48 nautical miles per gallon to 1.30 nmpg.
When we compare the best cruise speeds of 7 other boats in class with the MJM 40z, we find that the she is more fuel efficient than all of them, ranging from about 22% to as much as 70% more fuel efficient. None of these are apples-to-apples comparisons because of many variables including engine horsepower, drives, and boat displacement. Nevertheless, it is clear that the MJM 40z when powered by twin Volvo Penta 435-hp IPS600s is exceedingly efficient, even when compared to other boats with IPS drives.
When it comes to time-to-plane, the 40z smokes boats even much smaller and lighter. I recorded only 4.4 seconds to plane, and we reached 20 mph in only 5.6 seconds, and 8.6 seconds to reach 30 mph. These are times you might expect to find with a sportboat.
Complete test results can be seen by clicking on the test results tab above this report.
Efficient by Design
A lot of that efficiency comes from the design, a sailboat design as a matter of fact. This 40z is largely the brain child of Robert Johnstone, the "J" of J-Class sailboat fame, and inarguably a man who knows a bit about how to tweak the best performance out of a hull design. But a good idea for a qualified cruiser is only half the battle. A naval architect was needed to bring out the best of the design idea, and for that Johnstone turned to famed architect, Doug Zurn. As a result of Doug's design capabilities, the "Z" was added after the size moniker of each of MJM's boats, and thus we have in this case… the 40z.
For the build, Johnstone turned to Boston Boat Works (BBW), mostly because of their reputation for building right, instead of cheap. As an extreme example… we've seen how chopper guns have given builders the ability to build boats for less cost. Even all hand lay-up adds weight, which requires more horsepower, which adds more weight.
Another method of construction is vacuum bagging where fiberglass cloth is laid into a mold, covered with a plastic bag then impregnated with resin. It gives strength, but it's costly.
A Combination of Methods
BBW decided to build using both vacuum bagging together with a new technology of pre-preg epoxy vacuum-bagged laminates. It's a solution that gives the best combination of light weight, strength, and stiffness. The epoxy resin is not sprayed on, rather the glass cloth material is dipped in a bath of resin and then placed in the mold where a bag is placed and a vacuum drawn. The folks at MJM tell us that with this method BBW is able to get a glass-to-resin ratio of 60%, rather than just the opposite which is the result of good hand lay-up.
Epoxy also has better adhesion than resin and as such allows for better integrity. It also has more of an ability to elongate without failing to more of an extent than conventional boat-building resins. In this manner, BBW and MJM are able to have a lighter boat that operates with less horsepower, while maintaining strength enough to have a rating that allows for offshore conditions.
MJM says that the 40z has an ISO (CE) Certified for Ocean Category A and meets ISO structural standards for a vessel capable of withstanding 45 knots and 21' seas.
The Layout
An interior layout for the MJM 40z.
Now because we have a full walkthrough video, we'll just touch on the highlights of what makes the 40z such an ideal cruiser. It starts with the access.
Large side doors to either side of the cockpit make boarding a step-in affair as opposed to a climb-in affair. This is much more appropriate for the aging set that this boat appeals to. The base of the doors is 24" (61 cm) off the surface of the water, so not only is it a gentle step across from a floating dock, but it's equally easy to board from a dinghy. And if you are relegated to tying up to a fixed pier, you can step down onto the wide caprails, and down easy steps into the cockpit.
How easy would it be to carry supplies onboard with these convenient access doors? There are wide caprails for those laying against a floating dock.
Once aboard, the boat's single level layout is welcoming and accommodating for loads of guests. A full beam aft bench seat faces two double wide aft facing seats just ahead. Two opposing settees are in the helm deck, again on the same level as the cockpit, and a table expands to dining from both simultaneously.
With a single level right up to the bulkhead in front of the helm, you have a boat that is easy for everyone to access regardless of where you want to be. Notice the steps up to the side decks.
The forward seats swivel around to join the crowd at the settees. The table opens double wide to allow dining from both couches. The sides are wide open on the Downeast design and enclosed in the Express. The storage under the settees is absolutely cavernous. Notice how the windshields open to the horizontal.
This is ingenious. The companionway hatch closes to form a chart table right next to the helm navigational center.
Of course, when cruising, you can't take your car with you, and typically, a bike becomes the next best thing. How many times have you seen cruising sailboats with bikes lashed to the rails? Such an arrangement would not do with the 40z, but under the two settees on the bridge deck is cavernous storage that can swallow two full size bikes, the golf clubs, and whatever else you'd like to bring along. Our test boat even had a deflated Avon dinghy in one of these compartments, and it still had room for plenty more.
Below Decks
Down below, there's a single stateroom, which makes a lot of sense. Why have a second stateroom for the 10% of the time another couple will be staying with you? No, better to have the dinette convert to a second berth, and MJM accommodates privacy with a curtain that hooks to the overhead. Now our couple has the entire boat to use while still accommodating the occasional second couple. If a third couple decides to join the cruise, the twin settees abaft the helm will convert to berths and another privacy curtain provides the seclusion.
Here you can really see the sailboat heritage of the 40z. Notice the shelf above and below the table, and with refrigerated drawers in the galley, you won't be dumping contents out when you want a drink. The shelf above the galley has a grab area in its full length, and there's a stainless grab rail above.
But the best part is there are grab handles virtually everywhere. Three, right at the helm alone, duplicated for the observer. Making a sandwich at the galley, there's a handle overhead, and another in front ahead of a storage shelf. No matter where you are on this boat, there's something to hold onto.
With only two onboard, it's best to have both sets of eyes looking ahead. The 40z accommodates this with a pair of Stidd helm seats that are very comfortable. Optional seats are over-wide. Both seats swivel to join the crowd in the double settees just abaft, and when facing ahead, they are surrounded by so much glass that you'd think you were outdoors. And lest you worry about greenhouse effect, the front windows open up to the horizontal allowing plenty of air to flow through if you choose not to start the air conditioning.
The helm gets a 14" (35.6 cm) navigational display, but no dedicated cruiser in his or her right mind would settle for relying only on electronics. Close off the companionway, and the top hatch becomes a chart table. Now, with the autopilot engaged, you can stand in the middle of the boat and simultaneously keep an eye on the paper charts, the helm, the navigational display, and the water. It's a delivery captain's dream boat, and a cruising couple's dream come true.
The Master
The master stateroom has a few tricks up its sleeve. The top half of the berth is wider than the lower half and that's how it should be. Your arms take up more space than your legs and this clever design allows for more room to move about the cabin.
There is a hatch at the entry to the stateroom and another over the pillows. Why? Two reasons… first, you can lie in bed and stargaze quite easily, and second, if you anchor out, you can open the hatch and stand on the bed with the deck at your waist while you check and adjust the ground tackle… all without leaving the berth. Brilliant!
Just stand on the bed and you can check the ground tackle without leaving the stateroom, or bothering your other guests.
There is a water closet to port with a commode and sink, plus a separate shower to starboard. With this design, two people can get ready for a night on the town at the same time. If both want to shower at the same time, they can use the water closet as a wet-head with its pull out sprayer at the sink.
Our test boat didn't have a dishwasher, and I don't feel the need for one. Two people will use only a few dishes and you need just a sink for that. However, the 40z has a clever storage area recessed into the counter that holds those wet dishes and allows them to dry in storage.
The table across from the galley is beautiful and lined with teak planking ala sailboat, and a shelf below has a computer plug so you can bring your laptop without having the cord running all over the place.
Oh, and the deck… while it may look like a brilliantly varnished teak and holly sole, it's actually coated in clear Awlgrip. This is much more durable than varnish, so go ahead and wear your shoes while onboard. This boat is made to be used, not kept under glass.
Other Design Considerations
There are a few other mentionable areas about the 40z. Some may notice that she has a somewhat narrow beam at 12' (3.7 m). While this may be narrower than others in class, it's not by accident. First, it aids in the performance. Second, it keeps the weight down. But most importantly, if you live in dual locations (like Maine and Florida) you can now transport your 40z over the road more cost effectively. At this width, you won't need to pay extra for escort vehicles. And transporting the boat from north to south and back is a lot faster and less expensive than moving the boat on her own bottom.
The 40z is built around the IPS pods which add interior space, and has a proven economic advantage as we have seen.
Two Versions
Finally, the 40z comes in two versions. The Downeast, with open sides, or an Express with glassed in helm deck. Our test boat was the Downeast version and with roll down curtains (secured to the inside of the overhead to eliminate gathering rain water), we were able to enclose our boat quite easily.
In my opinion, this boat really does represent the ideal combination of capable cruiser or a large day boat, while adding remarkable efficiency. I've had my share of gripes with various boats, as everyone knows (handrails, footrests, helms that don't fit right, rails too short…), but these gripes are all met and put to rest on the 40z.
At an MSRP of $989,000 the MJM 40z is not for everyone. Rather, she is for a couple that appreciates a fine-looking, state-of-the-art Downeast cruiser that has no peer. With her, a couple can cruise securely from Nova Scotia to the Bahamas economically and with security, come what may. Very few express cruisers have a CE Category A Ocean rating.
While I doubt that many people will do it, the fact is that at 8 knots she could make it to Bermuda. It is nice owning a boat that can do that, even if you don't take her there.
If you are in the market for a picnic boat, a harbor cruising entertaining platform, or a fast express cruiser for a dash to Maine or Martha's -- and you want to arrive in style -- this could be the boat for you.

This post is from a new member who is having a hard time and would love to hear from people who have also experienced similar loss. Her email is email@example.com
I stumbled across this board by chance after finding the address on a pregnancy support group I have been part of . ( Julie , I recognise your name from there ) .
After reading Callie's mom's post , I felt like I was reading about myself . I am so glad that I have found a place where there are other women who really understand what it is like to lose a precious baby . I cried when I read some of your posts , because your feelings and thoughts echoed mine ...
Our daughter Dina Chaya Hodaya ( Chaya means " life" in Hebrew and Hodaya means "We thank God " ) was born on 29 October 2003 at 25 weeks and 4 days . She lived for only 5 and a half days . The pain of losing her , and the trauma of all that I have been through is so overwhelming , and all engulfing .It has now been 3 and a half weeks since we lost her , and I still feel so sad every day , and find it so hard to pull myself together and function . I think about her all the time and find it so hard to do "normal" things . People avoid talking to me about what happened because I think they are too scared or uncomfortable . Sometimes I just feel like I have some "contageous disease" !
I have had preeclampsia and HELLP three times . My daughter Tali was born at 32 weeks and spent 5 weeks in NICU in 1998 . Today , she is a bright , lovable 5 and a half year old . I had difficulty falling pregnant the seccond time , and after doing fertility treatment ( IUI ) , I fell pregnant again . I lost our seccond angel at 20 weeks , due to preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome . I never got to see the baby , because the doctors did a D and E .
It took me over a year to fall pregnant a third time ( this time I succeeded with IVF ) . I was watched very closely during this pregnancy , was on aspirin and heparin . It was a twin pregnancy , and because of my poor obetsetric history of recurrent HELLP , all the high risk specialists I consulted with reccomended that I do a foetal reduction to decrease my risks . It was against mine and my husband's inner beliefs but we did it because we thought it would give me a better chance. It was very traumatic for me .
My blood pressure was high throughout my last pregnancy but kept on getting worse . I was a bundle of nerves all the time because I was so scared of getting HELLP again and losing another baby .
I was admitted at 24 weeks with the beginning of preeclampsia . I managed to last out another 11 days , and then had to have an emergency caesarian section because I was developing HELLP .
After the operation , I went into acute renal failure and nearly lost my life. I spent 3 days in the emergency recovery room , and finally things started stabilising .
I was really ill , and was swollen up like a Michelin man ( I had gained over 15kg because of severe oedema) . I managed to go to the NICU 3 times to see our precious daughter . To me it was a miracle that I managed to spend time with her and see her while she was alive . But now it hurts so much when I think of her , and think that she was not supposed to die . I had waited for another baby for so long ,and wanted her to be with me here on this earth , not up in heaven .
Now I find myself mourning my daughter , Dina , and mourning the fact that I will not be able to fall pregnant again and give my daughter Tali a little sister or brother . ( I am far too scared to try again after nearly losing my life , and could not handle losing another baby ) .
Thanks for listening to me .
Mom to Tali ( HELLP 32 weeks, 5/3/1998 ) , my first angel in heaven ( HELLP 20 weeks, 20/2/2002 ) , and my seccond angel in heaven ,Dina Chaya Hodaya ( HELLP 25 weeks , 19/10/2003-5/11/2003)

Boeing Co. said today it will invest another $1 billion and add at least 2,000 jobs at its North Charleston 787 campus by 2020, citing steep demand for commercial airplanes over the next two decades.
The company's "phase two" growth plans are expected to be part of in a bill to be introduced around noon in the General Assembly in Columbia.
The Post and Courier reported the deal today.
"We do intend to grow," said Jack Jones, Boeing South Carolina vice president and general manager.
Jones briefly addressed the expansion in his opening remarks at an aerospace conference taking place at Charleston Place today.
"I understand we're in the news this morning," Jones said.
It's no secret that Boeing has had growth on its mind, but it has declined to specify what those plans were. Last year, the Chicago-based company bought the S.C. Research Authority office complex next to its existing 787 campus, which has about 6,000 workers. More recently, it has been in serious talks with Charleston International Airport about buying 320 acres across the road from its local factories.
It also has locked up the rights to purchase another 765 acres.
"This is an expansion on a whole new level," Gov. Nikki Haley said Monday.
"I think what we're seeing is a new phase of building airplanes in South Carolina," Haley told The Post and Courier.
Boeing South Carolina spokeswoman Candy Eslinger confirmed the growth plan today.
"Since 2009, Boeing has invested more than $1 billion in land, facilities, infrastructure and tooling in South Carolina, and today we have more than 6,000 teammates working at the Boeing sites in the state," Eslinger told the Associated Press. "With unprecedented demand for commercial airplanes including a forecast of another 34,000 airplanes required over the next 20 years Boeing is positioned for significant and sustained growth in the years ahead."
While details remain scant, lawmakers have been told the company will establish an information technology "center of excellence" in North Charleston that would create about 1,000 jobs. The rest would be made up of 787 engineers and production employees.
An operations center for the 747 Dreamlifter cargo jet that delivers 787 components and a new paint facility also are part of the proposal.
"I believe you'll see they'll be adding other enterprises," said state Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt, who stressed "there's no talk" about building an entirely different aircraft in North Charleston.
Hitt also said the state in discussions with Boeing suppliers that are interested in setting up operations in South Carolina to be closer to the 787 assembly plant.
"This has statewide benefits," Hitt said.
Boeing assembles the 787 Dreamliner in North Charleston and Everett, Wash.
It is pushing to boost its production rate in South Carolina to three a month by the end of the year, but the latest expansion suggests that number will go higher.
House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, and state Sen. Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, said they will co-sponsor a bill providing $120 million to offset some of Boeing's upfront expansion costs, such as site preparation work, road improvements and utility expenses. The money would be raised by selling state-backed bonds, they said Monday.
Both lawmakers expect the bill to pass and for Haley to sign it into law.
"The takeaway is that Boeing is doing very well in South Carolina, and South Carolina is doing very well because of Boeing," Harrell said. "So both of us want to expand its presence dramatically."
He said the company is looking past the battery issues that have grounded the 787 since January. Boeing said Friday that a demonstration flight that day marked the completion of the testing required by the Federal Aviation Administration.
"My goodness, Boeing is a company that thinks decades into the future, so the battery issue is something they'll have to deal with, but they're planning way beyond that right now," Harrell said.
Haley and Harrell predicted that the job and investment estimates Boeing has provided are conservative based on its past track record in South Carolina.
Boeing announced in late 2009 that North Charleston would become the site of its first commercial aircraft assembly plant outside of Washington state. By that point, Boeing had already purchased a pair of troubled 787 fuselage suppliers that had built factories at the airport.
In all, it committed to invest $750 million and create 3,600 jobs in exchange for an incentives package valued at $450 million.
"As it turned out, Boeing seriously under promised and over delivered," Harrell said.
Leatherman, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said the company and the state have been talking about its growth plans informally as far back as 2010.
The terms of "phase two" expansion began to take shape about three weeks ago. Leatherman, who helped craft the original legislation that landed Boeing's assembly plant, said he has "long suspected" the company would add onto its South Carolina operations.
"I didn't realize it would come quite this fast," he said.
Leatherman also called the projection of 2,000 jobs as low.
"Frankly, I suspect 2,000 more to follow," he said.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball dropped a 3-1 match on the road to Georgia Southern Friday night in Statesboro, Ga. The match was one of two scheduled for the weekend. UTC looks to bounce back tomorrow afternoon as the team buses from Statesboro to Charleston, S.C., to take on The Citadel.
Sophomores Briana Reid (Houston, Texas) and Lauren Gainer (Boca Raton, Fla.) each recorded double-digit kills against the Eagles Friday. Reid led the Mocs with 13 and Gainer finished second with 11, each totaling 13.0 points on the night. Junior attacker Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) tacked on nine kills and finished with 12.0 points for the Mocs.
Despite the offensive production, UTC fell behind in the first set with a 25-14 loss. Georgia Southern repeated with a 25-18 win in the second set to take a 2-0 lead to the intermission.
Chattanooga surged back in the third set to take a 25-23 win, edging the Eagles to shorten the match to a 2-1 lead. The Mocs totaled 14 kills in the set – four more than the 10 scored in each of the first two sets – and registered the night's best hitting percentage at .229.
The UTC defense held Georgia Southern to a match-worst .194 hitting percentage in the frame. Despite the Eagles jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the third, Chattanooga rallied back with three straight kills from the offensive leaders. Talley, Gainer and Reid each tallied a kill before scoring 12 of the match's next 17 points. UTC took a 10-9 lead and never handed it back to Georgia Southern en route to the Mocs' on set win.
The Eagles took the fourth set with a mirrored 25-23 score of their own.
Despite the 3-1 loss, the Chattanooga defense recorded 70 digs and four blocks on the night. Junior Melissa Green (Boca Raton, Fla.) collected 23 digs while 18 digs for Reid hands her a triple-double on the night (13 kills, 13 points, 18 digs).
Chattanooga continues its three-match road trip Saturday against The Citadel at 4 p.m. Live stats and video are available on the volleyball schedule page.

Craig A. Combs breaks into Toledo poetry sceneWritten by Morgan Delp | | firstname.lastname@example.com
On July 23, 2010, Flint, Mich., native Craig A. Combs was ready to give up the battle he had been fighting against a chronic illness for six years.
"I had resigned myself that my time was up. I didn't know what else to do. I couldn't continue to live on drugs that had as many side effects as the disease itself. I had to make a really major decision at that point as whether to continue or not," Combs said.
Combs, 43, said he had stopped eating, drinking, taking his medication and had even written a will when his father gave him a pep talk that changed his life and inspired him to publish a book of almost two and a half decades worth of his poetry.
"My dad sat at the end of my bed and said, 'Do you really want to die and give up? Well, you're not giving up in my house.' … That was his way of telling me 'I love you and I don't want you to go. I will not be a part of seeing you die,'" Combs said. "It was that little pep talk that kicked me in the butt."
Combs said it took him six to eight months to gain his weight back and return to his feet. It was his renewed enthusiasm and creativity that kept him on track and focused, Combs said.
"It was all about my choice, and from that point forward I have felt very intimately that we all have the choice to come at an experience uplifting and hopeful or fall into desperation and just give up," Combs said. "At that point I started looking at all my poetry; I had been writing for 23 years. I swore to God himself I was not leaving this Earth without publishing it."
That's just what Combs did. He published his life's work in September 2011 and his book, "Taking Tea in the Black Rose: Singing Through the Shadows Until We're Dancing in the Light," launched Oct. 28. Since January, the Old West End resident has been sharing his work at local poetry readings.
"When we don't hear and see the signs on an emotional and mental level, we tend to get them so dense and so encrusted and so rooted that they become physical conditions," Combs said of his illness. "I've been sharing my life's work ever since January of this year. I've never felt better."
'The Black Rose'
Combs' book is named for a poem he wrote in 1992. He describes the "Black Rose" as a place he visits to escape "all of the craziness."
"It's a solitary place where my work is crafted, not in my mind as much as in my heart," Combs said. "The rose represents my heart space, because it unfolds, and life is the unfolding of the heart."
The book is divided into five chapters that correspond with the five elements of Chinese medicine: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Combs said he became a student of holographic repatterning, which incorporates a blend of Eastern and Western traditions of medicine, similar to reiki, in 2005.
"My poetry is more emotional than intellectual," Combs said.
Because of this, Combs sorted his poems into the five chapters based on their predominant emotional frequency. Combs said poems with whimsical energies are in the spring or wood section because they bring about feelings of chaotic rainstorms and violent winds. A poem of transformation would be in the fall or metal section, Combs said.
Combs said the subtitle of the book, "Singing Through the Shadows Until We're Dancing in the Light," developed during the editing process.
"We all have to deal with the shadow side of life, [which] can be brutal. There's experiences we want to forget about," Combs said. "Even in the midst of shadows we're still singing through it. I'm picking myself up, brushing myself off, turning that frown upside down."
Stepping on the scene
Combs said he has been spreading his message by performing at poetry readings in the Toledo and southeast Michigan area. Sharing with others took some getting used to, Combs said.
"It's a whole different monster. Poetry for me is putting my whole heart on my sleeve. For me it is so personal and connected and deeply rooted in my whole core and my whole being. To separate it would be impossible. I think that's why it took nearly 25 years to start reading it out loud," he said.
Combs found he had to change the way he thought about his poems before he could present them to audiences.
"I never thought there was anything to gain from [sharing]. I thought of them as my journals," Combs said. "But art, no matter what form it's in, is meant to be shared with the world. It's your gift to the world."
The Web designer of Combs' site, www.blackrosetea.com, is local artist Matt Taylor, who encouraged Combs to attend open-mic nights in Plymouth, Mich., at Plymouth Coffee Bean Co. on Monday nights. Combs has also performed at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea in Ann Arbor.
Since February, Combs has performed at Glass City Cafe in Toledo, and for the past three months with the Broadway Bards at The Original Sub Shop & Deli in the Old South End.
Tara Armstrong began a themed poetry series in 2011 at Glass City Cafe, and Combs first participated when he filled in at the last minute on Feb. 10, in a reading night titled "Crave: An Erotic Literature Reading." Armstrong likes the themed nights because she said they hold the attention of the audience, instead of forcing them to jump from topic to topic.
Armstrong said Combs is a gifted and passionate poet whose work, while "deep and observant," is not for everyone.
"Craig's writing has a new age feel that doesn't appeal to some but attracts others. People who gravitate toward his style would certainly say Craig is in a league of his own," Armstrong said. "Other poets are passionate about politics, romance, loss, self-awareness or anything else that captivates and moves. Craig is passionate about witnessing life and gaining from both that sight as well as the process of living, and I think he has mastered the art of perceiving and accepting."
Hod Doering was one of the founders of the Broadway Bards, a group that reads poetry on the third Saturday evening of each month at The Original Sub Shop & Deli on Broadway Street. Combs, who Doering classifies as a romantic, was the featured half-hour performer in June.
"I've enjoyed his poetry," Doering said of Combs. "He has good imagery and a good grasp of his craft I think. He's off to a really good start, and he will probably grow and change, as most of us do."
Combs has continued to promote himself and his work in the Toledo area, which Doering said will pay off for him.
"His energy will really help him. He has volunteered to promote the Bards in Toledo," Doering said. "[His energy] will give him a place in the scene here."
Future endeavors
Combs said he plans to continue reading at open-mic events while pursuing a couple of new endeavors. One of these is a second book, which has a working title of "Seducing Ourselves: Love Letters from an Unhindered Heart."
The book's premise is inspired by love letters, romantic and otherwise, that Combs has sent and received over the years.
"I have lots sent back and forth that can very easily be put in the category of poetry. It can be easily formatted," Combs said. "I already have a lot done for the book; I've written six of them."
Combs also wants to find a venue to host his own open-mic nights in Toledo. He believes his previous experience in producing and promoting the Miss Gay Ohio America pageant will be very useful. He said he has been talking with different venues and would ideally like to start something at the end of July or August.
"I stay busy with things that are creative and constructive. I have a hard time sitting around doing nothing," Combs said. "This summer's about finding the balance in just being. I thought I would take time off and do nothing. Absolutely not."

Senior Victoria Dumas led the charge, winning the 100 and 300 hurdles, finishing fourth in the long jump and being part of the Lady Hounds' third place 4-by-100 and second place 4-by-400 relay teams, which qualified her for five events in the sectional.
The Jones County boys didn't fare as well, finishing last in the eight-school meet, and none of the Greyhounds qualified for the sectional, though several came close.
"We had 10 girls qualify for sectional, scored 100 points and broke four school records, but we could only finish fourth as a team. That tells you how strong the top teams in our region are," said Lady Hounds coach Geoff Moore. "We just need a little more depth.
"Dumas was outstanding, and we had several others who had their best performances of the season," he added. "Hopefully we can keep it going in the sectional."

Published Reviews
"Neurological examination made easy" is aimed at providing medical students and junior doctors with a solid foundation upon which to develop this important accomplishment. It is a book which any aspiring neurologist should read at least once, early on in their careers, and would very much be in my shortlist of pocket books to take around on the wards.

South Carolina runners move on minus Lattimore
The focus of South Carolina's backfield the past three seasons began and ended with star tailback Marcus Lattimore. With the team record-holder for rushing touchdowns gone, young runners Mike Davis and Brandon Wilds know it's on their shoulders to keep the Gamecocks' ground game going strong.
Lattimore was South Carolina's leading rusher the past three years and set a school record with 38 rushing touchdowns despite missing nearly a season's worth of games because of serious knee injuries in 2011 and 2012. Also missing was last year's senior backup, Kenny Miles, who was the Gamecocks' top rusher in 2009 and their go-to guy after both of Lattimore's injuries.
Davis and Wilds understand what they must do to take over without Lattimore and Miles. The Gamecocks conclude spring football sessions with the annual Garnet and Black game Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
"I think both of us feel ready to take that step forward," said Davis, a freshman last year who had 52 carries over 12 games. "I don't think it's going to be hard, but I don't think it's going to be easy, either."
That's because of the leadership skills both Lattimore and Miles brought to the team - and that Davis and Wilds are still getting a handle on.
Lattimore was as mentally ready for major college football as any player Steve Spurrier's had in his career, South Carolina's coach has said numerous times. Lattimore not only took direction, he soaked up the instructions and made sure his teammates knew them, too.
He supplanted Miles as the starting running back in the summer before his freshman year and left for the NFL last December as the program's sixth-leading rusher with 2,677 yards and his touchdown mark. Lattimore's totals would've been bigger if not for those knee injuries the last two seasons.
Wilds, then a freshman, got first crack to run the ball in 2011 after Lattimore hurt his left knee at Mississippi State. Wilds had four 100-yard rushing games down the stretch that season, but the Gamecocks called on Miles to carry the ball in the season finale with Clemson and at the Capital One Bowl against Nebraska.
Miles took over for Lattimore after his devastating right-knee injury against Tennessee and got twice as many carries as Davis did in the final four games.
Davis said he and Wilds have worked on their techniques, knowledge of the offense and how to be leaders when the team needs them.
"We think we're doing well," Davis said.
So does Gamecocks running backs coach Everette Sands, who's liked what he's seen at spring workouts. He says he's glad to have a "two-headed horse" in Davis and Wilds to keep opponents on the run.
"It's good to be sitting back and watching a play and hearing Mike and Brandon helping the young guys out," Sands said. "So they've embraced that."
Davis and Wilds have different styles that Sands will utilize this fall.
Davis, at 5-foot-9 and 215 pounds, is the younger brother of former Clemson star tailback James Davis. Mike Davis is a fast, elusive runner able to cut around defenders and break off some long runs. Wilds is taller at 6-2 and is more effective running straight ahead and breaking tackles.
Sands said it was a bonus last fall to have a pair of dedicated, knowledgeable players like Lattimore and Miles to lead the way for younger players. He's confident Davis and Wilds were taking notes and are mentally prepared for the next step.
"Both of them are always looking to improve and the next big thing is finishing," Sands said.
Wilds fought the idea of sitting out all year, in the end realizing it would be best for his Gamecocks career to heal completely instead of potentially damaging the ankle even more. He feels stronger and more confident with every carry he gets in practice.
"I've got to step up and be a leader. I'm the oldest back here," he said, smiling.
Behind Davis and Wilds are more untested runners in freshman Kendric Salley and sophomore Shon Carson.
Davis isn't worried, though - that's because he's got Lattimore's phone number and a promise from the ex-Gamecocks star to be on call when needed.
"That's a pretty special resource to have," Davis said. "That's Marcus Lattimore. He's like my brother, I can call `Latt' about anything."

Break in at Microsoft's research office sees only iPads stolen
According to a report in a Palo Alto newspaper, a break in took place at Microsoft's office in Mountain View and the only things that were taken from the property were iPads. The Break in supposedly happened over the Christmas period at one of Microsoft's research offices and the thief got away with two iPad 2 models, two iPad third generation models and one of the latest iPad 4th generation models. Apparently no Microsoft products were stolen in the burglary.
Police Sgt Sean Thompson said there are no suspects and no sign of forced entry. The iPads were taken from three offices in Microsoft Building 5 on the campus at 1075 La Avenida Street, according to Thompson, the theft was reported on Wednesday.
Thompson said, all employees have access to the building through their electronic key cards. The company told police it was closed for two days on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Thompson said he assumes Microsoft has some sort of video surveillance and will be reviewing who entered and exited the building during the time frame of the theft. So far police do not have any suspect information.
Now before you to start to laugh, there could be a really simple explanation for all this. Maybe the offices didn't have any Microsoft Surface's or Laptops lying around. Maybe the only things available in those particular offices were Apple's products. Ok, it's a long shot I agree, go on, laugh if you want!

Break in at Microsoft's research office sees only iPads stolen
Anyone stupid enough to be a burglar would naturally steal the iPads.
Nothing here. Move along...
Microsoft can make a comeback using this: "We were working on a top secret app for iPad"
[I wish it was Wordament]
Now we'll get those Office for iPad leaks we need!
Microsoft should not have reported this... Should have handled it internally and buried it.
This is the first thing that's made me laugh all day:) Congrats Microsoft!!
What a dumb thing to write about. But who does something that strange? It would have to be someone from Apple, or paid by Apple to do that. If someone really wanted to just get an iPad, they would have taken some easy access items, not a business building to take direct competitor items. Apple, why have to stooped so low...
Simple explanation. It was a research lab, so any development products there probably weren't worth anything to your average thief, so they left them and took fully developed products (which will be rivals MS is studying - they don't need to study their own products, they developed them).

A special video courtesy of BigHenDawg:
If you have the funds, purchase the following:
- If you own a Wii or Wii U in North America, Europe or Japan, purchase Breath of Fire II on the Virtual Console for 800 Wii Points.
- If you own a PSP, PS3, or Vita in Europe or Japan, purchase Breath of Fire III (PSP) (https://store NULL.sonyentertainmentnetwork NULL.com/#!/en-gb/games/breath-of-fire-3-psp/cid=EP0102-ULES00193_00-PPCBREATHO000001) on PSN (Great Britain link enclosed).
- If you own a PSP, PS3 or Vita in North America or Japan, purchase Breath of Fire IV (https://store NULL.sonyentertainmentnetwork NULL.com/#!/en-us/games/breath-of-fire-iv-(ps3-psp-ps-vita)/cid=UP9000-NPUJ01324_00-0000000000000001) on PSN (US link enclosed).
Due to differing time zones, you're free to begin your posts starting at midnight on July 1.
Some basic guidelines:
1. Don't spam. Basically, don't constantly tweet or Facebook post the same thing. You can keep different types of posts going throughout the day, but don't be overbearing. For Capcom's Unity forums, threads with Breath of Fire-related subjects are fine. Different BoF threads on Capcom's Game Discussion and Ask Capcom forum sections are OK if they're about different subjects (ex. one is about requesting Breath of Fire IV on PSN in UK, another is about your favorite version of Ryu or Nina, etc.).
2. Don't be negative. There is no reason to attack a company or its employees just because they're not doing what you want them to do. Keep this positive, and focus on the fact that you'd love to see the Breath of Fire series revitalized.
3. Respect your fellow peers. Some may hold different opinions about the games than you do, but that doesn't make it an excuse to attack them for liking or disliking a specific title.

Hawks Complete Season at AMCC Championships
- Release Date:
- October 15, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Final AMCC Championship Results
MIDDLESEX, OH – Hilbert College dropped 16 strokes off their score on day two of the AMCC Golf Championships, but that wasn't enough to move out of 9th place in the two-day tourney. Ryan Ratajczak shot a team low 81 on day two to lead the Hawks, who totaled 710 points over the course of the tournament. Penn State Behrend, led by Dante Vetica, shot a 616 to claim the conference's automatic bid to the 2013 spring NCAA championships.
Ratajczak totaled 170 on the par 71 course just ahead of Ryan Tofil's 175 (90/85). Also representing the Hawks were Karl Blomback, who fired a 182 (90/92) one point lower than Gary Gawera (94/89). Jake Reinecke also competed but his scores did not count towards the team's total.
Vetica medaled the course with 146 (72/74) beating last year's New Comer and Player of the Year, La Roche's Kevin Loutsenhizer by six strokes (78/74).
Hilbert produced better numbers over the course of the season after they dropped 228 strokes off last year's point total. The Hawks 710 was 61 strokes better than one year ago at the same AMCC Championships match.

HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College men's volleyball team closed out the home portion of their 2012 season in a three-set loss to Penn State Behrend March 21. Penn State's .477 hitting percentage contributed to their two-game sweep of the Hawks dropping Hilbert to 6-16 overall.
Behrend's Evan Fullerton led his squad with 33 set assists and five kills. Nate Steele finished with team-high 12 kills while Anthony Capizzi's .727 hitting percentage (nine kills) led the team's charge.
Fred Sickau's 11 kills were very impressive and powerful but it was Adam Weaver who finished with a team best 13 kills (.550). Ryan Ratajczak was credited with another double-digit dig night (13) and Stephen Phillips earned 29 assist of the team's 31 assists.
Hilbert travels to Beverly, MA this weekend to participate in the Endicott Invitational, a very competitive fourteen-team tournament, March 24 and 25. The Hawks face Johnson & Wales (10-8) and #12 Hunter (15-7) Saturday. They turn-around and play Stevenson (10-9) and Sage (14-5) before they head back to Western New York. Other top 10 teams participating in the tournament are: #5 Stevens, #8 MIT and #10 Rivier. Follow the tournament results at this link:
Hilbert finishes their season March 31st when they face the number one seeded team, Medaille College, in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference semi-final game at 11am. The championship game is set for 5pm that afternoon.

I love the prints in your collection! Can't wait to see what you've made with them. That's funny you said dinner with Martha Stewart. I've always thought it would be a great learning experience to spend a week with her & cook, garden, etc. :) Probably would also hear I'm doing it all wrong, but I would love to learn some of those things from her.
Can't wait for your fabric line to come out. I'm hoping one of my LQS will carry the full line; it looks like there are some great prints for my stash! :)
Congrats again! I'm so excited for you.

I can't wait for the fabric in September. I love zinnias too! I was a dental assistant before I had kids and became a sahm. I ended up homeschooling them. If you ever need a second pair of eyes to proof read, give a holler. I proof my college age daughter's papers and she had friends asking me to do theirs! Congrats on the first line. I'll be sure to bug my lqs to get it.

Hi Allison. Firstly I'd like to thank you for writing such an amazing blog. I stumbled across it a few weeks ago and have gone back and read every single one of your posts and enjoyed every minute of it. You and Ashley (filminthefridge) have inspired me to start my own blog (well sort of - I've written the first post but haven't published it yet as I've not have the weather to take pictures to go with it!)
Secondly may I congratulate you on your fantastic new fabric line. I love every single print and do hope that it will be available here in little old Wales (if not I might have to bite the bullet and make my first online purchase from the US).
Sorry for the super long comment but I'm in love.......with the fabric that is!

Berkeley County Sheriffs Office had 35 kids in custody the week of July 14 for its annual Deputies Camp in Moncks Corner.
The program is in its eighth year, and accepts every child that submits an application. During the week, kids met the Charleston County motorcycle and helicopter squads, learned animal safety with staff from Cypress Gardens, learned water safety from Berkeley Countys marine and dive team, and more.
Its to let them know what we do, Sgt. Jimmie Ross said. He said most of the kids are repeat campers and, as the kids age out of the camp, they often return as counselors. Its so they know theres a lot more things we do than lock people up.
Camp signup usually begins in February or March, Ross said.
I dont turn kids away. If a kid wants to come, hes going to the camp, he said.

Rassbach, age 53, is charged with five felony counts of theft, six counts of misdemeanor theft and three counts of attempted misdemeanor theft for intentionally deceiving customers or attempting to deceive customers that he contracted to sell fuel products including LP gas, gasoline, and diesel/fuel oil in three general ways: (1) physically "shorting" the customer by pumping a portion of the fuel back into his delivery truck, (2) the use of fraudulent propane delivery invoices, and (3) the issuance of duplicate and triplicate fuel delivery tickets by presenting the same ticket to multiple customers for a single fuel delivery.
Rassbach faces maximum penalties of: three years and six months in jail and a $10,000 fine or both on four felony counts and six years in prison and a $10,000 fine, or both on one felony count, and nine months in jail and a $10,000 fine or both on six counts of misdemeanor theft, and four and one-half months in jail and a $5,000 fine or both on three counts of attempted misdemeanor theft.

One of the most anticipated games of the season took place at the John C. Combs Arena on Saturday as the Perry County Central Commodores and the Knott County Central Patriots took to the floor with the championship of the WYMT Whayne Supply Mountain Classic on the line. The momentum changed hands with each period, with the Commodores eventually claiming the win.
Perry Central's defense proved to be too much for Knott Central in the opening minutes of the game. The Commodores used this to their advantage and took the early lead. The Patriots eventually got on the board and made up some ground. However, Perry Central would end the quarter with a 13-9 lead.
The final basket of the first period gave the momentum to Knott Central, and they would ride the shift to the lead. Perry Central recovered late, but still went into the locker room trailing 20-19.
Travis Stacy scored all six of the Commodores' second period points on a pair of threes, and started the third with yet another. This would be enough to kickstart a Perry Central rally.
Perry Central would push the margin to double digits within a few minutes, and eventually go up by 15. With eight minutes left to play, the Commodores held the 40-29 advantage.
The Commodores would continue to push the margin in the fourth period, and at one point held a 21-point lead. With less than four minutes remaining in the game, the Patriots went on a tear.
Knott Central's Camron Justice dropped 23 points on the Commodores in the final minutes of the game, bring them back to within two points with only a minute left to play.
On the other side of the floor, Perry Central was struggling from the free throw line, giving hope to the Knott Central comeback attempt. However, as time began to run out, the Commodores were able to stop the bleeding and put up a strong defensive stand.
The Commodores were able to withstand the rally, and went on to win the game, and the title, by the final count of 67-62. Braxton Beverly led the way for the Commodores with 22 points, while Camron Justice led all scorers with 32.
Perry Central (67) Austin Pray 2 (3 rebounds and 1 block), Darryl Beatty 1 (2 assists and 5 rebounds), Austin Neace 1, Braxton Beverly 22 (7 assists and 5 rebounds), Travis Stacy 15 (1 assists and 2 rebounds), Justin Johnson 18 (2 assists, 14 rebounds and 1 block), and Dalton Cornett 8 (4 rebounds and 4 blocks).

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this some months ago, but this particular passage always jumps out at me pertaining to those that embrace the rapture. They will often use this passage as their defense and proof (two words I hate using when referring to kingdom principles) that there is yet a rapture to take place. And for me, it begs the question for further explanation on their part which is . . ."If" you still believe Jesus is going to give the wink and the nod for the church to disappear . . ."if" you believe that Jesus is going to return just as he left . . .then what were those people who were standing there to think of that? Were they immediately understanding that this was for generations to come? If you're still waiting for Jesus to come back, then the angels had to have lied to those people who saw the ascension and heard the angels speak. Because if you still believe Jesus is yet to come, then it means he didn't come to them then. Which means the angels lied. Why didn't the angels say . . . as the angel did with Daniel . . ."9And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. (Daniel 12:9) If this was something that was going to happen thousands of years later, why didn't the angels say that? But the fact that they didn't speaks volumes. They said that his return would be to "them", not to another generation. The return of Christ was to the individuals looking for him, not to an ignorant world that is so far gone 2000 years later that God has just had enough of men and wiped them all out.The literalization of stars falling from the heavens is catastrophic to say the least. Earth would never survive such an event. It's been clearly pointed out of the accuracy of how the elements are positioned and aligned to allow life to be sustained on this planet. One small altercation to any of the elements involved and life as we know it would not exist. I mean people are so concerned about lsustaining life on this planet, as though we have the power to even do that . . .but they fully believe that the life on this planet is so sensitive that us humans have such power that we can alter it's life-span. And yet, out of the other side of their religious mouths, they say that actual stars are literally going to fall and the earth will still exist? People always want it both ways.
Joh 4:24 God is spirit, and those who are worshiping Him must be worshiping in spirit and truth."I believe that when mankind has matured from his earthy and literal reasoning he will begin to learn for a surety that it isCol 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
