2005 Nissan Xterra Road Test
Xtra ruggedness, Xtra power, Xtra thirsty
Maybe the folks who created the 2005 Nissan Xterra also cast an occasional lure for the famous Big Mouth.
Whereas the previous version was focused almost entirely on the U in SUV, the new Xterra, like a good bass boat, aims to add some excitement to the points between destinations. To that end, behind the new, more familial front end is an engine that offers significant gains in horsepower and torque. It may not be bringing home any blue ribbons from the races at the local fair, but this new powerplant finally addresses the S in SUV. And if the old Xterra was lacking significantly in any one area, giddy-up was definitely it.
Along with the revised look and new engine come an assortment of aesthetic tweaks, fancy packages, and standard features that soften what has been one of the most unapologetically basic utility vehicles since the first Jeeps. It's on a fine line that Nissan engineers have chosen to dance, safeguarding the Xterra's simple success while keeping it fresh and appealing.
For bass fishermen, they're surprisingly good on their feet.

Model Mix
Shoppers interested in the 2005 Nissan Xterra have three distinct models to choose from: the base S, the capable Off-Road, and the well-equipped SE.
Prices for the base Xterra S start at $21,430 for the rear-wheel-drive model and $23,530 for the four-wheel-drive model (all prices listed here include a $580 destination charge). Regardless of which drivetrain is chosen, the standard wheels are 16-inch alloys wearing P265/70R16 B.F. Goodrich Long Trail tires. Also included for the base price are rear privacy glass, antilock brakes, traction control, a roof rack with a storage basket, manual seats with driver side adjustable seat height and manual lumbar, a 60/40 split folding rear bench seat, a tilt steering wheel, a rear window wiper, a tire pressure monitor, and a six-speaker audio system with a CD player. Options include front side and side curtain airbags, body side moldings, a tow package, a five-speed automatic transmission that replaces the standard six-speed manual, and a cargo cover. A Power Package, which includes cruise control, numerous power functions, an alarm system, and steering wheel mounted controls is available, as is a Utility Package, which features stability control, traction control, a first aid kit, running boards, a folding front passenger seat, and more.
A move up to the capable Off-Road model requires a $3,000 premium – two-wheel-drive Xterra Off-Roads start at $24,030, and four-wheel-drive Off-Roads go for $26,330. That extra coin buys unique 16-inch alloy wheels, P265/75R16 B.F. Goodrich Rugged Trail tires, a host of power options, front foglights, bodyside moldings, and a folding front passenger seat. Other standard features include cruise control, an alarm system, a first aid kit, and stability control. Unique to the Off-Road are Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Control, a locking rear differential, and skid plates for the oil pan and gas tank. Four-wheel-drive Off-Road models add a skid plate to the transfer case. The side and curtain airbags are optional, along with a cargo cover and a 380-watt Rockford Fosgate sound system with nine speakers, a six-disc CD changer, MP3 player, and a subwoofer. XM or Sirius satellite radio can also be added, and include 90 days of free service before a monthly subscription fee kicks in.
Poised at the top of the 2005 Nissan Xterra line is the SE, which starts at $25,930 with two-wheel drive and $27,930 with four-wheel drive. A five-speed automatic is the only transmission available. Larger 17-inch alloy wheels wear P265/65R17 B.F. Goodrich Long Trail tires, and the standard features list is bolstered by tubular running boards, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a trip computer, steering wheel mounted audio controls, and that 380-watt Rockford Fosgate sound system that's optional on the Xterra Off-Road. Options are limited to bodyside moldings, a rear cargo cover, and satellite radio.
Our tester was a four-wheel-drive Xterra SE with the optional side and curtain airbags, body side moldings, floor mats, a tow package, and Sirius satellite radio. With the $580 destination charge added in, the total as-tested price came to $29,690. If serious off-roading isn't your thing, the Xterra S with the Power Package looks to be the best value at about $24,400. We'd also add in $800 for the automatic transmission to improve drivability and $700 for extra airbag protection. The few added features on the SE don't warrant the expense, and since our tester did so well on the trails, the hard-core do-dads on the Off-Road are unnecessary for the majority of drivers.

Nuts and Bolts
Among all of the changes the 2005 Nissan Xterra has undergone, perhaps the most significant lies under the hood. That's where you'll find a new 4.0-liter, 24-valve, dual overhead cam V6 that provides 265 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 284 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,400 rpm. This all aluminum engine is shared with the redesigned Nissan Pathfinder and Frontier models, and comes standard on the Xterra S and Off-Road with a six-speed manual transmission. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard on the SE and optional on the others. All 2005 Xterras have a 5,000-lb. towing capacity, and curb weights range from the 4,081-lb. rear-wheel-drive S with the manual transmission to the 4,382-lb. four-wheel-drive Off-Road with the five-speed automatic.
Charged with stopping all of that heft is the 2005 Nissan Xterra's capable braking system. Vented discs are fitted front and rear, measuring 296-mm and 286-mm, respectively. These beefy brakes work with a standard antilock system, electronic brake force distribution, and traction control. Stability control is standard on the Off-Road and SE and optional on the S.
Standard on all models is an independent double wishbone front suspension paired with a live rear suspension with leaf springs. The only exception is the Off-Road, which uses stiffer Bilstein shocks at all four corners. Four-wheel-drive 2005 Nissan Xterras feature a part-time system, controlled by a rotary knob on the lower dash. Switching between 2WD and 4H (for regular off-road conditions) requires a simple turn of the knob, but moving to 4LO (for especially difficult terrain) requires pushing the knob in and then turning. All four-wheel-drive Xterras come with automatic locking front hubs, and an extra 0.8 inches of ground clearance. The rear-wheel-drive S sits 8.3 inches off of the ground, while the four-wheel-drive Off-Road provides a generous 9.5 inches. A speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion system guides the Xterra to its destination.

Road Test
After a week and roughly 1,000 miles of coastal cruises, highway gridlock, and dusty off-road roughhousing, we can safely say that the 2005 Nissan Xterra is an improvement over its predecessor. The highway ride is acceptable, and off-roading is grin-inducing. What failed to make us smile was our overall fuel economy – we averaged a pathetic 14.8 mpg, though the overly optimistic EPA suggests that our tester should have returned 16 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating of about 18 mpg.
With an extra 85 horsepower and 82 lb.-ft. of torque, we expected and received an Xterra with more off-the-line punch and highway passing power. However, this redesigned ute carries some added mass (the base S is about 300 lbs. heavier that last year's base XE), which effectively limits the engine's performance to sufficient rather than impressive. There's plenty of go behind the gas pedal, but this utility box is not as lively as Nissan's marketing types would lead you to believe. To get the most out of the Xterra, the driver has to reach for the high rpms, where power, and a thrashy engine tone, are found simultaneously. Our tester's five-speed automatic transmission provided smooth shifts, but we did notice that lifting off the accelerator suddenly resulted in noticeable freewheeling (the engine gradually returns to idle instead of doing so immediately).
Driving the 2005 Nissan Xterra off road was a much more rewarding experience. All 282 lb.-ft. of torque helped us climb any hill we chose, almost always without needing to switch into the four-wheel-drive system's low gear. The 106.3-inch wheelbase and our tester's 9.1 inches of ground clearance allowed us to crest hilltops and navigate over small boulders without marring the skid plates. In fact, the only incident occurred when traversing a gulley at the bottom of a steep hill, after which our Xterra wore a few superficial scratches on the lower side of the front plastic bumper cover. The 37.6-foot turning circle made for easy turns on tight winding trails, and the decent 55 percent front, 45 percent rear weight distribution proved beneficial in one particular instance. Upon leveling off at the top of a hill, our driver realized that the right front wheel and rear wheels had traction, but that the front left tire and much of the engine's weight were perilously teetering over a washed-out hillside – had the Xterra's weight distribution been more front-biased, it could've turned into a very bad day.
Off-road prowess is great, but chances are most 2005 Nissan Xterra owners will be challenging their sport utility vehicles more often on the pavement. During routine and aggressive driving, the Xterra's brakes performed well, with a progressive pedal feel and no noticeable fade. Handling is what you'd expect for a tall SUV, with lots of body roll in the corners, and a floaty feeling on the highway. The steering is slow, but on par with similar vehicles, and actually better than the previous Xterra. That relatively tight turning radius proves to be just as handy in the city as it is on the trails.
Whether on or off the street, the Xterra's overall ride remains truck-like, but it's not overly harsh – expect the Off-Road with its Bilstein shocks to be the possible exception. Bumps serve to upset the ride, though comfortable seats isolate the passengers from most disturbances. What does make it to the Xterra's occupants is quite a bit of exhaust and engine noise, especially at full throttle; wind noise is minimal. Visibility is excellent, thanks to an expansive greenhouse, large rearview mirrors, and retractable rear headrests.

While the 2005 Nissan Xterra may be known best for its rugged styling and off-road capability, it also offers relatively comfortable, five-passenger accommodations.
Each front passenger is treated to a large, well-padded, minimally-bolstered bucket seat, though the centers of the backrests are a bit too soft. The driver can remedy this situation with a manual lumbar adjustment that adds the perfect amount of lower back support, but the passenger is out of luck. Front seats also feature a manual height adjustment, and with a standard tilt steering wheel, the driver can find a suitable position. Padded armrests are on the doors and there's also one between the seats, but it's placed too far back to be appreciated by shorter drivers.
Rear seat passengers will find themselves on a supportive 60/40 split folding bench seat with a natural recline position. Seat bottoms are a little short, and excessive front seat padding may rub against the knees of long-legged rear seat riders. Padded door armrests are large and well-placed, and headroom and footroom are generous. However, if you're looking at a trip in the rear seat of a 2005 Xterra, make sure you don't get stuck in the center of the bench – though that spot has a three-point seatbelt like the outboard positions, it lacks a headrest and the seatback is quite stiff. Claim car sickness, barter using your MP3 player, promise to pay for gas, whatever it takes to avoid long distances with your butt in the middle.
Of course, this is all dependent on actually getting into the Xterra, which may prove to be a challenge for some people. To alleviate the elevation problem, our SE tester's standard running boards (optional on the other models) helped us get a leg up, and the A-pillar grab handle provided a good hoisting point. We're not talking monster truck heights here, but four-wheel-drive Xterras sit high enough to make one appreciate these vehicular shoe horns. Front and rear doors open nice and wide, but even so, rear seat passengers will surely get touchy feely with the wheel well, which takes a big bite out of the rear door frame.

Inside and outside, the 2005 Nissan Xterra provides the numerous cubbies, pockets, baskets, and racks one would expect of a true sport utility vehicle.
Front doors include ample storage slots and large cupholders, with two cupholders in the center console that can be expanded by removing the rubber inserts. Under the front center armrest is a spacious storage well, and shallow trays sit above and below the dash, each with ineffective rough surfaces intent on keeping items in place. There are also two front gloveboxes, a lined overhead sunglasses holder, and a driver's side seatback map pocket. Rear seat passengers have access to two expandable beverage holders, but that's it.
Thankfully, back seat occupants can simply reach over their seat into the 35.2 cubic foot cargo area for anything they need. Among the host of goodies back there are cargo hooks and slide rails (what Nissan calls Utili-Track) used to keep things in place, a first aid kit in the tailgate, dual storage nets, and a recessed cubby under the plastic cargo floor.
Should more space be needed, kick the passengers to the curb and fold down the rear seat, creating 65.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Unfortunately, as with the old Xterra, this new version's rear seat bottom still needs to be flipped up for the folded seatback to lay flat. That won't be an issue if you can't get items into the trunk in the first place. Our shortest editor, who stands at five-feet, eight-inches tall, found the top of the Xterra's rear bumper lined up with his upper thigh. Worse yet, the Xterra's actual load floor sits two or three inches above the bumper. Lifting that heavy box into your Nissan has just become twice as difficult – one heave to get it up to bumper height, and then lift again to get it to load floor height. But, don't worry – back muscles were meant to be sore.
If all of the interior space isn't enough, there's always the standard roof rack and basket that promise to hold a decent amount of gear. A handy step integrated into the rear bumper makes it easy to reach the top of the Xterra.

The bulge in the tailgate, oddly shaped rear window, and aggressive wheel flares – these have been, and continue to be just a few of the visual cues that make the Nissan Xterra stand apart.
Like the original, the 2005 Xterra's tailgate is built to accommodate a first aid kit (standard on Off-Road and SE, optional on S), and the side profile still features that raised roofline over the second-row seat. However, unlike previous versions, the 2005 Xterra wears a face you'll be familiar with, as it closely mirrors that found on the Nissan Frontier and Pathfinder. The new look is derived from Nissan's successful full-size pickup, the Titan, and coincides with the brand's launch of brawnier trucks. Behind the fresh face are familiar oversized built-in wheel flares and rear door handles sitting vertically on the C-pillar. Taken collectively, the visual tweaks give the 2005 Nissan Xterra broader appeal, while maintaining the vehicle's unmistakable look.
Inside, dark plastic panels provide the Xterra with a rugged and utilitarian appearance, with subtle chrome accents on the door handles, shifter plate, and gauge rings adding a touch of sophistication. Less pleasing is the dash, which consists of too many pieces of different shapes. The result is a sea of seams and odd edges that turns an otherwise simple and functional interior design into busy and cheap.
Below that hodge podge of a dash are easy to use and understand radio and climate controls. The radio has straightforward buttons for power, volume, tuning, seek, and scan. Our tester's Rockford Fosgate system also included power, volume, mode, and tuning buttons on the steering wheel. We enjoyed 380-watts of power, but even after adjustments, we felt the sound quality was a little flat. The climate controls, which amounted to three rotary dials, were as simple as they come and effective at maintaining the proper temperature. All other controls, including those for power windows and power mirrors, were logically placed.
While interior design and layout drew mostly praise, the materials used were less laudable. A mesh fabric on the seats felt durable and fit the Xterra's personality, while berber-like floor mats added a nice touch to our SE. Points were lost with the plastics, all of which felt and looked cheap. The exception was the hard plastic on the cargo floor. Throughout the interior, grains and colors varied from piece to piece, large door panels provided lots of flexibility, and a low-grade headliner capped off the cabin.
Fortunately, the materials used were put together well, so our 2005 Nissan Xterra was free of any squeaks or rattles, and all of the pieces felt tightly screwed down. The exterior was less impressive. We liked the solid "thunk" when the doors were shut, but weren't so crazy about the misaligned hood and the numerous large gaps, especially around the tailgate. Those rear door handles, while an Xterra trademark, expose the inner mechanism from behind and look unfinished. And there was one last issue with our test vehicle. In the rain gutter on the passenger side, right at the point where the roof rises behind the front seat, was a deposit of either paint, rust inhibitor, or something else applied before paint. It was soft enough to poke a pen through and in the event of rain, would force water out of the gutter. This isn't a major issue, but could require a bit of repair and paintwork and should have been caught by Nissan quality control before leaving the factory.

Based on National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests and an impressive list of standard safety equipment, the 2005 Nissan Xterra has obviously been designed with occupants' well-being in mind.
NHTSA awarded the redesigned Xterra four out of five stars for driver and front passenger frontal impact, and five stars for front and rear side impact. NHTSA has yet to assign a rollover rating to this Nissan. The other primary testing organization, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS), has not tested the 2005 Xterra.
Drivers and passengers will appreciate the 2005 Nissan Xterra's standard antilock brakes, traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, and active front headrests that help prevent whiplash in the event of collision. Off-Road and SE models benefit from a standard stability control system that kicks in to keep the Xterra headed in the right direction. This system is optional on the S.

Like the angler who needs to know where the best fishing hole is and what the bass are biting, Nissan engineers need to know who 2005 Xterra buyers are and what they want. These consumers have typically been outside of the mainstream – a quiet anti-establishment group of SUV owners, if you will.
They should be happy with the newest Xterra. It still has that odd silhouette, still has the first aid kit in the tailgate, and still has a simple, utilitarian cockpit – no cowhides on the seats, no navigation systems with maps of the Yucatan peninsula, and none of that dual- or triple-zone climate control fluff. What the 2005 Nissan Xterra does have is lots of added power and the ability to reach almost any destination.
And with a 5,000-lb. towing capacity, you can even bring your bass boat along for the adventure.

2nd Opinion - Perry
There really aren't many negative attributes to the redesigned 2005 Nissan Xterra. The Xterra's design exudes a serious off-road demeanor, making this vehicle seem ready to handle any task thrown its way and to do it well. During a quick drive covering both off-road trails and curvy highway I walked away from the Xterra quite pleased.
On the twists and turns of southern California's Highway 74, I felt the Xterra handled surprisingly well for an SUV. Though minor, my only real complaint was a light steering feel while navigating the corners. Power was never lacking on steeper inclines thanks to the 3.5-liter V6's sufficient torque and the five-speed automatic's well-thought-out shift points.
The Xterra feels heavy and solid but in day-to-day traffic the ride is surprisingly supple. A tight turning radius makes U-turns and tight parking lots easy to navigate. My biggest disappointment has to be the cheap plastic feel of the dash and door panels. Interior seating both front and back provides ample head and legroom and will hold five adults comfortably. I really appreciated the simplicity of the gauges and knobs. No fancy or complicated touch screens here.
Off road, the Xterra climbed and powered over any obstacle put in its path, easily capable of getting you to most any destination. The folding rear seats create a flat load floor and the cargo area's easy-clean interior finish is a big plus. Another nice touch is the system of built-in tie-downs that will keep your cargo from sliding around while navigating bumpy roads. A lot of thought was put into the versatility of the Xterra's interior and it shows.
I give the Nissan Xterra high marks due to its ability to accomplish every task I asked of it. Nothing about the Xterra would deter me from purchasing this vehicle, if I needed something like this. Lead an active and athletic lifestyle? The 2005 Nissan Xterra is a great choice for you. – Ron Perry

2nd Opinion - Wardlaw
Though far from faultless, the original Nissan Xterra possessed its charms. With its everything-you-need-and-nothing-you-don't marketing philosophy, rugged ladder-frame construction, bulletproof reliability, chiseled bodywork, and powerful supercharged V6 engine, the Xterra was a true sport/utility vehicle for people who really did have active lifestyles. Trouble was, it wasn't much comfortable, and driving it on dry pavement was no fun at all.
Today, the 2005 Nissan Xterra is bigger, more powerful, and more refined. The driver's seat is comfortable, the materials improved, the back seat bigger. Styling remains much the same, though I can't help but think that the old one had a better-balanced and more dynamic appearance – probably because of the haphazard way Nissan has chosen to slap the badges onto the back of the new version while sharing front styling cues with the Frontier pickup and Pathfinder SUV.
As it always has, the Xterra did a terrific job of dispatching difficult terrain. At the Wildomar Off Highway Vehicle Park near Lake Elsinore, Calif., I covered storm-damaged trails with relative ease, and the new Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control systems proved their merit. But most impressive was the Xterra's paved road demeanor. It feels much more responsive and stable, while retaining the truck-like ride that lends it authenticity in a world increasingly populated by wanna-bes. And with stability control as standard equipment on all but the base models, drivers can take added comfort in the handling capabilities of this old-school 'ute.
Toss in a powerful V6, more rear seat room, added utility, and little touches like the integrated steps in the rear bumpers, and the new 2005 Nissan Xterra manages to remain true to its singular-purpose philosophy while appealing to a more diverse group of potential buyers. – Christian Wardlaw

Liza's Lunatone (anime)
this wiki
Liza's Lunatone was Liza's only known Pokémon.
Lunatone was first seen battling Tate's Solrock. Lunatone proved to be significantly stronger than Solrock, blasting through Solrock's SolarBeam with its powerful Ice Beam and freezing it at the same time, winning the battle. Lunatone and Solrock were also used to defeat Team Rocket.
During their first battle with Ash, Tate and Liza were unable to work together properly and would probably have lost if Team Rocket hadn't returned to interrupt the match. Lunatone and Solrock were captured but were later freed and helped defeat Team Rocket again by using their Psychic attacks.
During their rematch with Ash, Tate and Liza commanded Lunatone and Solrock so effectively that Ash was unable to find an opening until he finally ordered his Pikachu to aim Thunder straight into the clouds. Pikachu and its partner Swellow were then hit by the Thunder but stored the electricity in their bodies causing them to become covered in an electrical "armor". Using their armor to increase the power of their attacks, and to weaken the power of Lunatone and Solrocks attacks, Swellow and Pikachu overwhelmed and defeated both Pokémon at the same time.

The AMVOX5 World Chronograph causes a sensation during the 8-hour race of Le Castellet, on April 2010, as the first AMVOX to boast both chronograph and world time functions. The inner bezel ring carries the cities symbolising the 24 time zones and enabling one to immediately check the time anywhere on the globe. In a subtle detail emphasizing the watch's automobile heritage, London is replaced by Gaydon, home of the Aston Martin factory. The "all-road" Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 752 is housed within a case in high-tech ceramics and titanium or 18-carat pink gold, entirely in-house manufacture following cutting-edge processes identical to those used in the aeronautics and medical technology industries. The AMVOX5 World Chronograph will be produced only in limited editions. Two Racing versions will appeal to motor-racing entheusiasts. The chronograph counter discs are carbon-finished in a manner reminiscent of the LMP1 cars. Discover more about the launch and the AMVOX5 World Chronograph and more about the latest AMVOX2 Grand Chronograph.

WASHINGTON — The fundraising arm for the Senate Democrats, headed by Sen. Michael Bennet, has raised more money in the first quarter of 2013 than at any other time in the committee's history, according to documents obtained by The Denver Post.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee — which exists primarily to keep and gain Democratic seats in the U.S. Senate — raised $5.3 million in March and has brought in $13.6 million in 2013 alone, according to documents the committee will file with the Federal Elections Commission on Monday .
The bulk of the committee's growth in cash comes from its targeted e-mail outreach similar, in part, to President Barack Obama's grassroots campaign efforts, staffers say.
The committee is micro-targeting donors — women and young people, for example — with messages about Congressional Republicans and issues these particular groups care about, like federal student loans, abortion rights, immigration reform and the DREAM Act.
In 2009, the DSCC generated $1.4 million from "digital donors." That jumped to $5.6 million this year.
While it's still early in the 2014 election cycle, Senate Democrats are far out-raising the similar fundraising arm of the Senate Republicans.
In the first quarter, Republicans raised $6.8 million, compared with the $13.6 million brought in by the Dems.
The Republicans reported raising $3.2 million in March.
"It's not a secret that we're inheriting a very difficult map this cycle, and we're going to have to compete in a number of states that the president lost by double digits," Bennet said. "Our job is that we have a number of exceptional incumbents running in purple states. Our job is to help them and show how they've represented the interests of their states."
The committee hasn't always done this well in the first quarter of the year after a major election. In 2009, it raised $10 million in the first quarter, and in 2011, it raised $11.6 million.
Bennet refers to the Republicans' "map advantage" to the Democrats' "math advantage" so far.
There are 2014 Senate races in seven red states Obama lost last year — six of those states he lost by double digits.
The vulnerable Democrats include Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska, Sen. Kay Hagan in North Carolina and Sen. Max Baucus in Montana.
Bennet's leadership at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee — a starkly partisan job in a starkly partisan city — runs counter to a handful of recent votes against his own party and some of his high-profile bipartisan work on immigration and overhauling the Food and Drug Administration.
Bennet was one of only eight senators to vote against a plan to avert the "fiscal cliff" in a middle-of-the-night vote because the package contained no meaningful deficit reduction. In that vote, he voted with Colorado's House Republicans and not with his fellow Democratic Sen. Mark Udall.
He also recently backed a nonbinding bill to support construction of the Keystone oil sands pipeline. The measure passed, and the notable Democrats who supported the deal were all up for re-election next year. Bennet's vote, which drew the ire of dozens of Colorado environmentalists, also split from Udall.
Last week, both Udall and Bennet voted for universal background checks for gun purchases but against a sweeping assault-weapons ban.
All of the gun proposals failed in the U.S. Senate.
"My first job, no matter what role I have, is to represent the people of Colorado. We're a state that's a third Democrat, a third Republican and a third independent," he said. "And I think rather than having candidates tow a specific line the caucus has embraced, it's good to have different points of view. ... They better represent their states that way."
The Democrats are facing a tough re-election battle — Udall is also up in 2014 and doesn't yet have an opponent — but even on the candidate side, they are out-fundraising Republicans.
In FEC reports filed last week, nine Democrats up for re-election, including Udall, reported raising more than $1 million in the first quarter.
Kevin McLaughlin, a senior adviser at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said he is not worried about the fundraising advantage — at least yet.
In the past two political cycles, Republicans also have an abundance — tens of millions of dollars — that are gathered from independent expenditure types, like American Crossroads and Club for Growth.
"We're very confident. We're like a duck, our legs are running very hard under the water on candidate recruitment," he said. "But we know the money will be there. We're confident that the money will be there for Republican candidates."

Cubs Round-Up: Rizzo, Zambrano, Cashner & Kazmir
Anthony Rizzo should be in the starting lineup for team Italy's first game in the World Baseball Classic this afternoon (2pm CST) against Mexico at Salt River Fields in Arizona. Italy next plays Canada tomorrow (3:30pm CST).
On Saturday team Italy, as part of Pool D (Italy, Mexico, Canada & United States), moves to Chase Field in Arizona where the Italians square off against the U.S. at 10pm CST.
Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk spoke with Rizzo following Italy's 4-3 exhibition loss against the A's on Tuesday and asked him his thoughts on being introduced as "Anthony RIT-tso" by the P.A. announcer.
"I think I'll enjoy that this week," said Rizzo.
The man Rizzo was traded for, Andrew Cashner, is listed as the Padres' bellwether player for 2013 by Grant Brisbee of SB Nation.
"Just about the best-looking pitcher this side of Strasburg. But it's almost certainly preferable to be the best-pitching pitcher. To do that, you have to pitch. The same caveat applies to a lot of Padres, but none more than Cashner."
Carlos Zambrano is still searching for a big-league contract this spring while pitching for Venezuela in the WBC according to Hardball Talk. Meanwhile, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports Big Z could pitch in Japan or Taiwan if he doesn't catch on with an MLB team by the end of spring camp.
Zambrano pitched so poorly for the Marlins through 20 starts last season (5-9, 4.54) he was demoted to the bullpen in late June, finishing the season
(7-10, 4.49) with an 88 ERA+.
Barring injury, however, I think Zambrano lands an MLB offer soon enough– even if he's so-so in the WBC. With so many teams starved for starting pitching, the 31-year-old should become an attractive arm at an affordable price.
Cubs scouts were on hand to watch left-hander Scott Kazmir throw in a B Game with the Indians this week. As Matt Snyder of CBS Sports points out, Kazmir is only 29-years-old.
"Remember, this is a two-time All-Star who led the American League in strikeouts in 2007 when he was only 23. He appeared to have long-lasting ace potential until he fell apart from 2009-11, culminating with a 17.02 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Salt Lake in 2011. His major issue was control, as Kazmir walked 20 hitters in 15 1/3 innings during that short Triple-A stint. The four spring innings this year are far too small a sample to reach any firm conclusion, but the zero walks so far are a great sign."
I thought the Cubs would give Kazmir a stronger look last offseason considering they had Randy Wells, Andy Sonnastine and Chris Volstad as rotation possibilities. But if Kazmir shows signs of becoming his old self again, there's certain to be plenty of competition to land his services.

When he was a genin he wore a simple black outfit with bandages around his ankles and arm-guards, along with a sash around his waist which was tied in the back.[1]
Part I
Chūnin Exams Arc
He was first seen alongside his students Kabuto, Misumi and Yoroi as they entered the Chūnin Exams. He later watched on as they participated in the examination. When they completed the second round of the exams, he stood with the other jōnin commanders as the Third Hokage instructed them on the next phase of the examinations. He was later seen attending the Third's funeral, mourning his loss with the rest of the villagers.
Part II
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
In the anime, he was drafted as part of the Nijū Shōtai and he, and his team-mates went in search of Akatsuki members that had infiltrated the Land of Fire, at one of their known bases. They were however, unsuccessful in finding anyone at that location.

The Alsaurians were a Humanoid species that lived in the Delta Quadrant.
They were first encountered by the USS Voyager in 2372 when an away team was sent to the surface of their homeworld in search of tellerium. Among many others planetary residents, the paranoid and hostile Mokra Order treated Alsaurians as a sub-class and ruled the planet without mercy. The Mokra Order prohibited them from having communications equipment and claimed to be helping Alsaurian against common enemies. (VOY: "Resistance")

Police are now investigating two separate ATM break-ins on different community college campuses.
On November 13th, Pitt Community College said an ATM in the Goess Building was broken into and cash stolen.
Investigators said the PCC crime likely occurred around 4:30 a.m. that Wednesday.
Now police are looking for the burglar who broke into Lenoir Community College and did the same thing there.
Kinston police say the break-in at LCC was discovered at 6:40 a.m. Saturday by campus security.
Someone broke out a glass door in the student lounge area and got into the ATM. An unknown amount of cash was taken, while damage to the machine itself was listed at $2,000.
Kinston police say there's no evidence to show the two burglaries are related.

- "Listen, Carl. We've got a problem. Some traitors from another department think they can help the "overseas situation" by financing militaristic dictators in exchange for arms contracts."
- — Mike Toreno.
Stowaway is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to Carl Johnson by the government agent Mike Toreno from the Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard.
Carl is in the middle of the airstrip waiting for Toreno, when government agents arrive in trucks and a cargo plane. Feeling exposed, he hides behind some crates. A little later, Toreno sneaks up to him, saying that the people who arrived are from a rival agency. Toreno, having permission from his apparent boss, wants Carl to kill the agents by bombing the cargo plane. Carl, though reluctant at first, accepts.
Carl is hopping on a bike, and is quickly making his way inside the plane (which is taking off), dodging bullets from the agents and the barrels falling from the plane. The plane eventually takes flight. Once on board, he makes his way to the front of the plane, killing several agents on the way. He places a satchel charge, then, using a parachute he gets from an agent on board, he jumps out of the plane, freefalling down to earth.
Mission objectives
- Go! Get up the plane's ramp now.
- The aircraft is filled with explosives; the player must avoid firing weapons or the plane will be destroyed, wasting the player along with it.
- You'll need a parachute to get off the plane. One of the crew members will have one.
- Pick up the parachute.
- Place a satchel charge on the plane then get out the back.
The reward for this mission is $20,000. The mission Black Project is also unlocked.
- If you don't get the parachute at the end of the mission, an alternate cutscene will play; Carl will fall on an Admiral in Fort Carson and die.
- One of the agents can be seen holding an unobtainable camouflage patterned M16 during the cutscene.
- After parachuting from the plane upon completing the mission, it is possible to pass by and access the "sky door" - the floating yellow marker above Fort Carson which leads to the Hidden Interiors Universe. This is the only situation where the player can access this door without the use of cheats, modifications, or trainers.
- The player doesn't need to kill all the agents on the plane. The only agent who has to be killed is the one with the parachute.
- In PC version the Bobcats that appear in the cutscene with the plane approaching the airstrip are black. Then, during Carl's conversation with Toreno, they are white. After the cutscene, when Carl takes the bike to catch the plane, they are black again.
- Even if the player has a parachute, they still need to get the agent's one. If that parachute is not obtained, the alternate cutscene of Carl falling on an Admiral and dying will still play.
- The Andromada plane that Carl drives into is actually an interior in Hidden Interiors Universe. The player can see it on the map because the plane doesn't move when Carl is in it.
- This mission is extremely popular among the GTA fans for its creativeness.
- There is a glitch when you enter the Bobcat and you fail the mission, you will be stuck in the position and if you jump while you were stucked, Carl will be seen hanging.
- This mission is similar to The Ballad Of Gay Tony's mission Departure Time, where CJ and Luis drive a motorcycle to catch up to a plane by using a ramp or stair case.
- While inside the plane, one of the agents can be heard uttering strange phrases such as: "You idiotic mammal!". This and their similair appearance to the "Men in black" is a reference to the fact that some people believe that the men in black are not human.

Would you cut Taylor and sign William to a minimum deal? This would save cap space, but our starters would be Allen and Lewis(Assuming he re-signs) with Gay being our nickel corner (his strength).

Here comes the BOOM!
But I wouldn't do it if there's room to keep Ike along with the other players we want. Because Ike is still one of the best in terms of size, athleticism, and tackling and he fits Lebeau's system perfectly.
If needed, I'd cut Keisel first, Hampton second, and Ike 3rd. But I'm not sure we'll have to. Unless we're planning to target some FA that no one knows about.
No, but I would cut Taylor and draft Darius Slay to give the Steelers a promising young talented trio at CB. There's nothing about William Gay that makes me want him back with the Steelers. The best thing about him is the fact we may get a comp pick for him.
Steelers 2015 Draft???....Go Freak! As in....
1-Bernardrick McKinney MLB Mississippi State 6 ft 5 250 4.5 40 yard dash
Absoluetely NOT!!!! It was a good move to let him go. No need to bring back a now even older, less than mediocre player. He may have had a decent play here or there but mostly he was the worst player on the field at a given time including the opposing team.
Arizona cut Willie Gay. Wonder if he would be interested in returning for cheap.
He'll go play for Ray Horton in Cleveland...

I would love to have Gay back on the roster. I think he got a really bad rap from some of the fans. Aside from 2009 he has been a solid DB and even in 2009 he played no worse than Ike. In fact if we sign Lewis and Gay we could easily drop Ike.
OMFG this board is getting ridiculous.

Angie's Answers
5 estimates? Why 5? Why would you do that to yourself? Normally if you are dealing with reputable companies you don't need more than 2 estimates. I advocate to people to always get at least two estimates and if the roofers are saying something very different or if the roofers are way way way off in price, get an equalizer, get a 3rd. Obviously if you don't trust a roofer disqualify that roofer immediately. I beliee you have now fallen into "Analysis Paralysis" which is what happens when you have too many opions.
But back to the topic, I said you are focusing on the wrong thing. Why did I say that? Because you can take the best shingle in the world and if installed wrong is compeltely garbage. i can take the worst shingle, known to fail, and if installed properly will last some ammount of time. So you should focus on the roofer, not the product. The roofer is more important and a good quality roofer will only want to install good quality product.
The roof is a system comprised of many components, not just the shingles. You have the water proofing underlayment such as ice shield, the water resistant underlayments such as felt. You have the shingles, the ventilation and the flashing details. All of these things add up to equal one roof. Neglect one and your roof is doomed to fail.
But the roof is more than just product it is detail, know how and heart. Heart? yes heart. It takes the utmost CARING the utmost DESIRE to want to install a good roof. It's hard work and easy to fall into the train of thought as to do what's easier, instead of what's faster. Faster and easier seldom ever equals better. At the end of the day you ened a roofer that cares about your roof.
So what product is best? That's hard to say. Each manufacturer has multiple plants and it seems each plant puts out varying levels of quality. I will tell you in my area Atlast is known as a cheap commodity shingle. I have Tamko Heritage on my house but I stopped using it because I was having seal failue issues and at the time they offered no contractor certification program, but I hear they started up one. Ownes corning is a decent product backed by a great company. I don't install very many OC's though. I primarily install CertainTeed Landmark shingles and my feeling is that they are the best on the market in my area. I'm sure others will disagree with me.
But don't miss the point, the roofer is more important than the shingle.
Any roofer worth using should be able to do the roof with NO MONEY DOWN.
The only scenario I would ask for a deposit is on a crazy odd ball shingle that had to be special ordered.
As a certified and licensed roofing contractor, my reputation is on the line. I debate this topic quite often with other roofing contractors who seem to care more about profit than a job well done. Well, I can tell you from past experience having been a professional roofer for 14 years as of the time of this posting, that the chance for failure increases exponentionally when installed below freezing. It's better just not to risk it.
Personally I will not, unless absolutely necessary and the customer signs a disclaimer of limited liability, install a roof below freezing and really really want to install the roof at 40 or above. The shingles need to seal, and will not seal unless they warm to about 70 degrees F ambient temprature. This does not mean it needs to be 70 outside, because the shingles will warm from the sun.
So what can be done to install the roof below freezing? Well first, the roof should not be gun nailed below freezing. This is because the shingles become brittle and it's easier to "blow through" with your nails. It's also harder to regulate air pressure when it is cold, I speculate because of barometric pressures, but I am just guessing. Therefore the roof should be hand nailed. This takes more time. Furthermore since the seal strips will not seal, they must be manually sealed with proper compatible adhesives. This will also take more time, and more material. I once spoke with a roofer in Alaska who builds tents around the houses he is working on and covers them with tarps and heats with propane heaters. Now that takes real time! The question is, are you prepared to pay for this extra time? Can you wait a few more weeks?
Attic ventilation is a science that is unique to the architecture of each building. There are no one size fits all solutions. There is no "better" as a blanket statement without knowing more about the structure.
Ridge vent works well, with proper initake. All ventilations work more effeciently with intake, but some like ridge vent won't work at all without equal or greater intake when measured in Net Free Area (NFA).
Commonly if you have a hip roof, you may not have adequate ridge length for a ridge vent. This is a a VERY common mistake I see from unskilled roofers. For example a house with a 1,000 sq ft attic space would need not less than 27 linear foot of a good quality ridge vent like Air Vent II. That is to say if your house is 1,000 sq ft at the foot print, and you don't have at least 27' of ridge, a ridge vent is not Better, but is Worse.
Typically my rule of thumb is to stay away from ridge vent on hip roofs. So what then? Well I will then normally install what are sometimes called canned/mushroom.turtle style breather vents. The same 1,000 sq ft home would need only 3 vent, assuming they have 144 NFA each. Without an intake you would need to double this number to make 6 roof vents.
I am not really a fan of turbines, aka whirrly birds. They do work, but they have been known to break down and are reliant on the wind. Without the wind they are nothing more than big ol' breather vents on the roof. If you chose to have turbines installed the "book" would say that you need 3 if they are 14" vents. However since they are not always whirling around, I'd say add another for safety sake. For this reason, as well as cosmetics, I would encourage you to consider the 144 NFA mushroom/turtle vents instead.
One thing most people agree upon is that you do NOT mix exhaust ventilations. Don't put turbines with ridge vent. Don't put mushrooms with ridge vents. Don't put mushrooms with fans near by. THis creates a short circuit meaning the two fight each other. Think if your turbine is spinning. It is pulling air. It is supposed to pull air from the soffit/intake vents. However it will choose the path of least resistance and pull air from the closest opening, ie: the ridge vent. This is why they call it a short circuit, it will interupt the path of air flow from the soffit and thus most of your attic will not be properly ventilated.
The wrinkles will lay down flat if allowed to dry before first installing the shingles. However this is a waste of time. This is why I live by two 1 rule, never tear off more than you can put back in the same day, and if by some chance you opened more than you can shingle, tarp it. Felt is not water tight.
I really am only speculating. Without seeing it I really can't give an accurate answer.
There are a few other possible reasons, and framing (actually sheathing) is another possible reason. If the plywood is fastened improperly or if the plywood was installed without a gap between the boards for expansion and contraction, ripples can also occur. The difference is you will see the ripples spaced very evenly 4' or 8' to match the spacing of the plywood. If it is the case of improper fastening of the plywood, meaning the fasteners missed the framing so nothing is holding the plywood and it warps, you could easily depress the warped plywood with your foot. If the plywood actually buckled due to lack of expansion gap, you would not easily be able to depress with your foot. If the roofer didn't install the plywood, it wouldn't really be his fault, though if he or his crew saw it when working and didn't fix it then they probably should have. But I am not going to play the blame game unless I know exactly what the cause is.
A storm ripped through the area two years ago. The storm chasers use the cheapest possible shingles, and I am seeing something I haven't seen before. I am only guessing but what it looks like to me is like the shingles are expanding too much and causing the ripple effect I mentioned above in regards to plywood and the lack of expansion gap. The difference is there is no expansion gap required with shingles. This affect is something I never saw before and is only related to one cheap commodity dog house shingle which alot of cheapo roofers like to use. I've been roofing 14 years and this year is the first time I have been seeing this particular problem. It seems to come and go, which also tells me expansion is some how involved. I don't think you'd be able to depress it with your foot, though I've never tried.

Heading into this weekend and the next, an assortment of upcoming jazz related shows are set to take place at the Dakota. Get ready for a carnival of musical delights. Actually, it was trumpeter Russell Gunn who was to help kick things off at the Dakota last night, along with his quartet and vocalist Dionne Farris, but the gig was postponed. Farris and Gunn have a new live album, Dionne Get Your Gunn, which Farris released on her independent label, Free and Clear Records.

Gary Neville appointed England coach
14:12 14 May 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
The former Manchester United defender has signed a four year deal with the FA
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has been appointed as one of Roy Hodgson's England coaches, the Football Association have confirmed.
The former full back turned Sky Sports pundit retired last season but the new Three Lions boss has chosen him to help his charges through Euro 2012 and beyond.
"Roy asking me to be a part of his staff and to work with the national team is not only an honour but a very special moment for me," said Neville.
"I had absolutely no hesitation in accepting this role and I am relishing the opportunity to work alongside Roy and the team at the Euros and through to the next two tournaments."
The England manager believes that Neville will be respected by the players.
"Gary has achieved so much in the game as a player with Manchester United and England," said Hodgson.
"He has obtained UEFA coaching qualifications and will be tremendously respected by the players because of his vast experience as a player.
"At my first meeting with The FA, I explained that Gary was someone I wanted as part of my staff.
"I think it is very important we have a younger coach who knows the dressing room and is very experienced at international level.
"That he has represented England as a player at five major finals tournaments will make him an invaluable member of staff."
The 37-year-old made over 400 league appearances for the Red Devils and scored five goals in his 18 year career.

To throw an idea out there -
There is a river valley south of Fort RoundTop, vulnerable to evil Thaneland raiders, perhaps a dark captain enthralled by a terrible sorcerer.
What do you think Redrobes? It would be small scale (detailing ruins and some countryside) but I'd prefer a heightmap from you and some guidance on what that terrain would look like (wiki picture maybe?) and anything you'd recommend. I'm thinking Irish countryside castle which I have some big photos of.
