The NC11 is a compact cruiser with plenty of storage space under the salon deck. Note the separate shower stall in the head.
The Mission of the NC11
The "new concept" is to have a boat that can be a cruiser, a watersports platform, a small cottage on the water, or a day-boat entertaining platform. It is also designed to be economical to buy and operate and to that end she is available with either a singe sterndrive engine or twins. This is all made possible because much of her furniture performs double duty. Check out report below and see how.
A Stern Difference
The aft deck of the NC11 is designed for entertaining in the cockpit or watersports off the swim platform. When the bench seat is in the aft position as seen in the drawing above there is plenty of room on the deck for table and two or three directors chairs for a cocktail party, al fresco dining, or just hanging out.
Move the bench seat forward and now there appears a large stern platform, known in large motoryachts as a "teak beach." In that configuration the boat makes a large swim platform, a sunning deck, or a launch side for scuba diving. In this mode it also is a 'mini marina" and when friends come to visit in their tenders there is plenty of room to get them aboard.
Casual anglers might even use the platform for light-tackle fishing. Why not?
Here you can see how much space is available when the cockpit seat is moved aft. Two full deck hatches allow for access to the twin Volvo Penta D3 diesel sterndrives and the optional generator.
We also liked the standard teak decking that runs from the aft end of the deck to the aft end of the salon. Teak decking is also available on the side decks.
Two notable options are available for this deck area; one is a retractable awning from the aft end of the coach roof, and the other is a full enclosure.
The aft seat slides fore and aft to provide more room in the cockpit -- or, more room abaft the seat on the "swim platform." Here it is fully forward adding to the swim platform space.
With the cockpit bench seat forward there is about 3' (.91 m) of fore-and-aft room on the stern platform. Storage under the seat can be access from both front and back.
Cockpit Space
Moving forward in the cockpit we have a few more interesting features. First, to be clear, we use the term cockpit to denote the space forward of the gates. Again, it's on the same level so these gates and the aft seat are all that differentiate this area from the stern platform.
There is a triple-wide, forward-facing bench seat that has the requisite storage underneath, with access from the back of the bench as well.
With the seat moved back, there is access to the deck hatches covering the engine compartment. Jeanneau accommodated room for not only the twin Volvo Penta 5.7L sterndrives, and the optional 5kw generator, but copious amounts of storage space as well. Jeanneau's mindset towards safety was evident not only from the 33" (83.8 cm) rail height, but from the standard manually operated bilge pump nestled in the starboard bulwarks.
Speaking of side decks, the NC11 has an asymmetrical layout. There is considerably more width the the side decks on the port side than the starboard. This has much to do with the side entry door to port but we'll get back to that shortly.
Main Salon
Sliding glass doors will allow access to the main salon. I was impressed that these weren't just glass panels that accommodated an opening at one side. With one panel open there is entry to the port side with a companionway leading straight to the forward cabins. But with a crowd onboard, that just won't do. So Jeanneau mounted the doors to open from either the left or the right side. The four panels compress into the space of one door in either direction and lock in place.
I noticed that there is an aft settee seat that is pretty close to the starboard doors so why the opening from that starboard side? The answer is in the fact that aft seat has a flip-back and now there is more seating in the cockpit. Since the salon and cockpit are on the same level there is easy flow and no stumbling.
The storage on the far bulkhead holds plates, cups, and silverware. This eliminates the need for cabinets over the galley, which means more natural light and better visibility.
Under the starboard bulwarks are two stools that tuck out of the way when not in use. This allows dining for six at the salon table.
This settee wins the BoatTEST.com award for the world's most versatile and clever dinette/settee. It can do almost anything except deal cards.
The forward seat flips over and elevates to allow your guests to share the same view as the captain. A very clever arrangement and great use of space.
An Incredible Booth-type Dinette
Back to the settee. Here there is booth-style seating, flip the outboard leaf of the table up and now two more people can sit facing to port.
But again, this boat begs for a crowd. Do we bring deck chairs in for dining for six? Not hardly. All the way under the starboard bulkhead are two stools tucked out of the way. Pull them out and there is comfortable seating for six at a sizable dining table. Another brilliant use of space, and my stock in Jeanneau was climbing steadily. But I'm not done...
Above those seats in the starboard bulkhead is storage for the incidentals needed during mealtime. Silly things that become afterthoughts on other boats, like plates and silverware. I really liked this storage area which is wasted on most boats.
The table also pivots to allow even more room to move around, and by unscrewing (by hand with large knobs) the base from the deck, it can be moved against the starboard bulkhead, perhaps for a buffet table, or out to the aft deck for dining.
As the times that one will be spending cooking are limited, the galley is rather concealed in a sort of credenza over to the port side. Rich woods give an impression of class to the salon area, even with its Spartan fixtures. Opening a hinged lid reveals a standard gas stove top (electric is optional), and I was pleased to see the underside lined with stainless steel for protection. A center hatch opens to expose a single basin stainless steel sink.
This piece of furniture actually houses all of the galley equipment. Since most of the time it will not be used, why have it open and exposed. In this manner it can serve as a side table when entertaining.
The galley is hidden under a wood counter that doubles as a backsplash. All of the basic equipment is here.
Context is everything and this publicity photo puts the galley/credenza in proper perspective.
Even without overhead cabinets there is storage for the necessities of life onboard but not, it seemed, for an extended cruise. Having to go grocery shopping at every stop on a coastal cruise is out of the question, so where is all the room for dry storage?
The Wine Cellar
Rolling back the carpet runner reveals two deck hatches that led to what I can only describe as storage cellar. Here there is enough space to store a month's worth of food and dry goods. Off to the sides of the cellar tucked out of the way, are the optional air conditioning pumps and ancillary equipment. The forward compartment also accommodates pull-out storage drawers (think Plano) that are locked into place with little dogs that rotate into position.
The Magical Helm Companion Seat
The forward settee seat flips 90-degrees to create a forward-facing companion seat -- the back becomes the bottom and the bottom now becomes the back. Now it's facing forward, and because the mounting system is so clever, it is now roughly the same elevation as the captain's seat.
This makes a double wide seat that has a perfect forward view out the front window. There's even a small shelf just ahead of the seat for holding "stuff". It just doesn't get any better than this.
The aft salon seat reverses for converting to cockpit seating. Notice how the glass doors open extra wide from the right. This makes the cockpit an excellent entertainment area.
Lastly, the entire dinette converts into a berth for overload guests more or less in the conventional manner.
The aft salon storage cellar. There's enough room here for a lot of dry goods.
A second storage "basement" lies to the forward section of the salon. This one even accommodates storage drawers that lock into place.
The Helm and Joystick
As for the helm: There's an electronics package available consisting of a Raymarine C90 widescreen for GPS and depth readouts and a 4kw digital radar as well, but neither were on our test boat. The panel is pre-designed to accommodate the displays. We did have the dual Volvo Penta EVC displays, but that didn't stop Jeanneau from adding a complete array of analog gauges, a fact that I always appreciate.
We also had Volvo Penta's digital engine controls that added a host of features such as engine sync, cruise assist and single level controlability. But the frosting on the cake was the optional Volvo Penta sterndrive joystick. It brought close quarters maneuverability to a professional level for anyone who may be lucky enough to be in control of the helm.
The helm offers plenty of open space for electronics. Notice the sterndrive joystick just ahead of the engine controls. I love the opening side door right at the helm. The two buttons overhead are for opening and closing the sunroof.
While the sunroof provides 35 sq ft (3.25 sq m) of open space, you'd have to be taller than me to use it to stand at the helm and see forward.
Because the helm is on an elevated platform it negates the ability to stand while operating. There just isn't enough headroom, but those skippers who insist on standing, can stand next to the helm. The alternative is to open the electric retractable sunroof. This presents 35 sq ft (3.25 sm) of open air over the entire forward half of the salon. However, that still wasn't adequate to allow me to stand at the helm. My 5' 8.5" (1.74 m) had me looking right at the forward frame of the sunroof. Frankly, I didn't care. I was more than comfortable sitting with my foot on the door sill next to me.
And that leads us to another one of the unique features of this NC11, the portside midships door. We were testing this boat on an oppressively hot Florida day, and opening that side door was literally a breath of fresh air. It closes watertight, and slides aft to open so it doesn't take up any side deck space to operate.
With the side door at the helm, I was able to lay up against the dock and reach over the rail to tie up to the midships cleat. Could there be any better testament to the NC11's single-handing appeal?
The forward accommodations are accessed by a center companionway. To starboard is the guest stateroom with twin side-by-side berths, and a filler cushion will join them into a single queen sized berth. Thankfully, there's a privacy door instead of a curtain, and natural light is allowed in via opening port lights. The single head is located across the companionway from the starboard stateroom.
The forward accommodations feature an island berth with ample storage underneath, two opening portlights and an overhead hatch. But as if this boat didn't have enough unexpected features to it, the master stateroom also has a walk-in closet.
The mid cabin to port has twin beds and with the filler cushion shown here makes into a queen-size bed. Importantly, there is standing head room at the entrance to this stateroom.
Performance and Handling
Now between the 10-15 winds and the wakes of the camera boat, we managed to find our fair share of waves to test the mettle of this cruising boat. And I'm here to tell you that it was sufficient to allow me to feel comfortable getting caught in a storm and getting me back safely -- the boat felt that good under my feet.
Now will it be entirely comfortable.... probably not, but that's another matter. As for the comfort, she seemed to handle seas best at about half throttle. This allowed the NC11 the room and agility to go through the waves rather than up and over, so that made for a better comfort level. Considering that this is primarily a coastal cruiser, this it the sort of handling should be fine in most conditions.
Tall friends will be the least of your concerns onboard the NC11.
For the complete test numbers click on the "Test Results" tab at the top of this page. WOT speed was over 36 mph, best cruise was 26 mph.
At the Dock
In the twin configuration the NC11 comes with Volvo Penta's sterndrive joystick (as standard by the way) and it made handling a dream at the dock. There are two power settings and I needed them both for this docking as we had a stiff wind running with a fair tide across the dock. So it was high power to maneuver to the dock, and low power to lay up against. But, where this boat really shines was because of that convenient side door, and the midships cleat right next door, I was able to lay the boat up portside to, AND reach over the rail to tie the boat up single handed. Now that's an admirable quality for a cruising yacht. For a single-hander, or even a cruising couple, this is an adept boat with a lot to offer.
We think the NC11 is a "do anything" boat, and the most innovative we have seen in a long time. Not sliding door is to starboard.
Here we have the sliding door panels to port and the booth dinette seat back forward in cocktail party mode.
Like many boats from Jeanneau the NC11 base boat is configured for day cruising, entertaining and low-cost operation. With a propane stove, single sterndrive engine the NC 11 will have significant range. She is particularly capable on the rivers and many of the canals in Europe to say nothing of the Baltic Sea, Med, and the numerous archipelagos in that part of the world. In North America she is suited for coastal work from the Alaskan panhandle to Cabo and from Nova Scotia to the Bahamas, or down island.
By outfitting an NC11 with twin diesels, a generator, an electric stove top, microwave, air conditioning, ice makers and the like, she can be a comfortable cruising boat for a family or two couples used to speed and creature comforts. With a top speed of over 31 knots she will be able to keep up with boats in the annual yacht club cruise and possibly be the preferred boat upon which friends would like to hang out at day's end.
Even with twin Volvo Penta 200-hp D3 engines she has a range of 317 nautical miles at 15.3 knots with a 10% fuel reserve. At that speed she gets nearly 2 nm per gallon (nearly 1 km per liter). That is pretty economical cruising in the fast lane when we look at other diesel powered boats in class to say nothing of gasoline-powered boats.

Politics has never been more divisive, bitter and harsh in the United States, we're told. To that it often is added that too many politicians have forgotten the definition of "public servant."
It would be interesting to get Alexander Hamilton's take on that. The former secretary of the treasury was shot dead in a duel in 1804 - by then-Vice President Aaron Burr. After leaving the vice presidency, Burr was accused of treason in an alleged scheme to establish a new country on land included in the Louisiana Purchase. He was acquitted.
It's true that some members of Congress waste few opportunities to criticize, sometimes harshly, their political foes. But it's been a long time since senators and representatives routinely took pistols onto the floors of their respective chambers. That was common during the 1830s, 1840s and 1850s.
On a few occasions, the guns were drawn - but not used. Once, a congressman was so upset by a man testifying in a hearing that he drew a gun and threatened the fellow.
In 1856, Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts made a speech criticizing a South Carolina colleague. A couple of days later, Rep. Preston Brooks, nephew of the South Carolinian, stalked onto the Senate floor and used a cane to beat Sumner within an inch of his life.
In terms of nastiness among politicians, ask yourself when was the last time that Congress investigated a president's wife on a charge amounting to treason. It happened to Abraham Lincoln, when his fellow Republicans began looking into allegations his wife Mary was feeding information to the Confederates.
So strong was Lincoln's personality that the probe was dropped when, one day, he walked unannounced into a congressional hearing and told the lawmakers he would vouch for his wife's patriotism.
Still think politics is too brutal these days?
Ah, but the scandals and conspiracies these days! At least that didn't happen in the good old days. Or did it?
The first really juicy scandal in American politics involved a journalist named James Callendar, who reported that President Thomas Jefferson had children with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings. At the time, the accusation was so scandalous Jefferson was able to overcome it. Now, DNA evidence suggests strongly that Callendar was right.
On July 17, 1803, Callendar's body was found floating in three feet of water in the James River at Richmond, Va. The story was he'd been so drunk he drowned accidentally. How many books would modern-day conspiracy theorists get out of that one?
Then there was the famous attack opponents of Grover Cleveland used when he was running for president in 1884. It seems Cleveland had an affair with a woman, who gave birth to a son. When the opposition got ahold of that, they spread the chant, "Ma, ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House, ha, ha, ha!"
More recently - with, I'm sorry to say, the complicity of some in the press - President John F. Kennedy was notorious for his affairs. His girlfriends included Marilyn Monroe and a woman linked to a Mafia boss. Some of his trysts occurred in the White House. Yet while he was president, not a word of it was reported.
Americans ourselves are more polarized than ever, we're told. Did the talking heads who make that claim miss the Vietnam era and the civil rights battles? Or how about the Civil War? Here where we live, there was a bit of polarization leading up to 1863, when we decided our differences with our fellow Virginians were so deep we had to break away and form our own state.
Now that's polarization.
Among the boldest power grabs ever made by a president was Franklin D. Roosevelt's court packing scheme. Roosevelt didn't like some Supreme Court rulings over his New Deal programs - so he tried to get Congress to pass a law allowing him to appoint enough new justices to, in effect, give himself a majority. It failed.
So, are we Americans and our politicians more polarized than ever? Not even close.

January 18, 2006
The tree that fell on the SUV was a large oak tree. The 75-year-old tree had a trunk that was at least four feet wide. As News 12 reports, tree experts say this accident possibly could have been prevented.
Neighbors say this was bound to happen.
"This tree here back about 7 or 8 months ago limbs fell out the tree here and tore these telephone lines down," said Willie Lynch, neighbor.
But Tuesday it wasn't just limbs but the whole tree, weighing tons that fell over. And this time there were deadly results. Rhonda and Ken West were killed when the tree fell on their SUV as they drove down Telfair Street. Rhonda's brother Randy Wheelis had to see the damage for himself.
"When I recognized the vehicle I seen that tear in the tire cover, I knew that was her," Randy said.
Assistant Director of Public Services Derek Vanover says this was severe.
"This is the worse cast of anything I've known in 25 years. I haven't been here that long, but some of our crews have and they haven't experienced anything like this," Derek said.
The Trees and Landscape Department says there's a combination of things of why this tree toppled over: soft soil, heavy winds, and a hazard that most people would not recognize.
"This English Ivy just acts like a big cell actually when the wind comes through it's just holding on and these roots are actually think and it will help weigh it down and it appears to be the situation here," Vanover said.
And while you may have big trees like this in your yard, getting rid of heavy vines and any extra weight is key.
"Actually you want to cut it so that it's a gap, secure at least an inch gap in between the stem growing up then it will start to die and decline out," Vanover said.
And perhaps by doing that, this may never happen again.
The tree was on private property and we've seen some other tree topplings in the past. October 2005 and an incident back in 1998 were similar when trees fell on cars after heavy winds. No one was hurt in those prior incidents.

TEST KITCHEN; Homemade Or Semi? A Bake-Off
By Amanda Hesser
Published: October 1, 2003
IN the world of Sandra Lee, cookbook author and self-proclaimed ''lifestylist,'' life is hectic and people are busy. Cooking food from scratch takes too much time, and is too difficult and too expensive. And while Ms. Lee believes that cooking food for someone is the greatest gift, it really isn't worth too much of your time.
Ms. Lee also believes she has the solution for these problems: food that is ''Semi-Homemade'' (she has registered this name). In her first book, ''Semi-Homemade Cooking'' (Miramax, 2002), which according to Nielsen BookScan sold more than 61,500 copies and landed her on the New York Times best-seller list, Ms. Lee explained her philosophy: ''The Semi-Homemade cooking approach is easily done by combining several prepackaged foods, a few fresh ingredients, and a 'pinch of this with a hint of that' to make new, easy, gourmet-tasting, inexpensive meals in minutes.''
Ms. Lee calls this technique ''a new way of cooking.'' But it is not. Her approach merely underlines a way of cooking that is rapidly growing in American culture. While cake mixes and convenience foods have been around for decades, it is only recently that attitudes toward using them have shifted from embarrassment to allegiance. In 1999, Anne Byrn wrote ''The Cake Mix Doctor'' (Workman), which is filled with recipes for tweaking cake mixes with ingredients like vanilla and lemon zest so that they taste better. It sold 1.3 million copies and was followed up by another best seller, ''Chocolate From the Cake Mix Doctor.'' (''The Dinner Doctor'' is forthcoming.) Recipes on the Web site for the Pampered Chef, a cookware company that sells directly to consumers with Tupperware-like parties, include mixes and convenience foods. Recipes in Bon Appétit magazine, with a circulation of more than 1.3 million, occasionally rely on packaged and brand-name ingredients.
All of which can add up to a kind of faux-cooking. Ms. Lee's slant is no different, except that she is savvy: she has made it into a brand. Miramax Books is publishing her second book, ''Semi-Homemade Desserts,'' this month, and according to Ms. Lee's Web site, www.semihomemade .com, she has recently signed a contract with Miramax Films for a variety of publishing, merchandising and television projects.
Ms. Lee's beliefs are based on some degree of truth. People are working longer hours. People are commuting farther. And people have more choices of things to do with their spare time.
But does this mean that people have less time to cook or that people make less time to cook? Ms. Lee puts forth the notion that there are lots of people who like to eat well, but who do not have time to cook. And who, apparently, don't want the bother of actual cooking. She emphasizes repeatedly that her recipes will allow you to get out of the kitchen sooner so that you can spend more time with your family. But since when did cooking have to be solitary? And since when were people unable to talk with their children or spouses while they cook? She herself reminisces in ''Semi-Homemade Desserts'' about the ''happy hours'' spent in the kitchen, baking with her grandmother.
And, in fact, if you look at changes in kitchen design over the last decade, you'll discover that people not only like to be in the kitchen, but their spending habits would indicate that they actually would like to spend most of their time there. According to Gopal Ahluwalia, vice president for research of the National Association of Home Builders, the kitchen has become the focal point of the home. People are devoting more square footage to their kitchens and making them more multipurpose, with room for sofas, computers and play areas. And in the kitchen itself, he said, Americans are spending more money on stoves, refrigerators and cooking equipment.
And yet, who isn't lazy? If someone tells you often enough that you do not have time to shop at a good butcher or to measure a cup of flour, you may start to believe it. And that is just how Ms. Lee wins you over. Using the same strategy that has been so successful for the food industry, she seems more intent on encouraging people to create excuses for not cooking than on encouraging them to cook wholesome simple foods.
Any good cook knows that a roasted chicken and a salad take about two tries to perfect and about 15 minutes of actual work time, but such classic food doesn't leave much room for the kind of product references Ms. Lee likes to have in her recipes.
As opposed to the recipes in Anne Byrn's ''Cake Mix Doctor'' books, in which good quality ingredients are used to sharpen the bland manufactured ones, Ms. Lee's more often than not rely on bland manufactured ingredients to mix with bland manufactured ingredients.
Gnocchi Dippers, whose problems don't end with their name, are sauced with olive oil, onion, jarred garlic, milk, Tabasco sauce, sour cream and thyme -- all good, so far -- but then she adds Velveeta. With hundreds of delicious and interesting cheeses available in this country, many of them in supermarkets, it is difficult to understand how a responsible author could choose a tasteless, industrial cheese like Velveeta to prepare what she calls ''gourmet-tasting'' food.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) -- While state authorities and Williams Energy officials work to locate the source of the hydrocarbon leak near Parachute Creek that has contaminated more than 60,000 gallons of ground water, Garfield County residents are voicing their concerns over the state's response to the leak.
According to Colorado Department of Natural Resources' spokesperson Todd Hartman, the timeline went as follows:
Silt resident Peggy Tibbetts said the response seemed to take an "unreasonable amount of time." Hartman said state officials' response was based on their judgment of immediacy at the time.
"Now knowing what we know now, I think we wish we would've been on site Thursday, but you have the benefit of hindsight, and you don't know how these things are playing out as they evolve in the moment," Hartman said.
If there had been an immediate threat to public health, Hartman said state officials would have been more aggressive in responding.
"You have a lot of things going on and you have to have some thresholds as to how you respond," Hartman said. "Using professional expertise and using our judgment and our experience, that's how this played out."
Tibbets said she is also skeptical Williams Energy officials haven't found the source of the leak, 17 days since it was discovered, but Williams' regional spokesperson Michele Swaner said it's a lengthy process.
"We've got half a dozen pipelines there… It's a big gathering and processing area for us, so you simply have to take the time to rule out those," Swaner said.
Williams crews have constructed a trench surrounding the leak in efforts to prevent the hydocarbons from entering Parachute Creek, which sits 50 feet from the spill, according to a report by the EPA.
According to a bulletin from Swaner on Monday afternoon, the cumulative total of hydrocarbons recovered is 143 barrels and 3,350 barrels of contaminated ground water.
Hartman said digging the trench near the contaminated ground water involved unaffected ground water getting redirected and, as a result, contaminated. He said that could explain the significant amount of contaminated ground water recovered.
Swaner said on Monday she believed crews would be close to determining a source of the leak by the end of this week.

With acute leukemia, serious infections or easy bleeding or bruising usually prompt a patient to see his or her doctor. With chronic leukemia, it may take a long time for symptoms to occur. When they do, they may be mild and mimic symptoms of other disorders, with fatigue the most likely symptom or complaint.
When white blood cells are no longer able to help fight bacteria, viruses, and other germs, infections occur more often than normal. Common symptoms of leukemia-related infections include:
If the number of red blood cells drops and anemia occurs, fewer cells are available to carry oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms include:
If there are not enough platelets, the blood will not clot properly. Symptoms include:
Additional symptoms may develop as leukemia cells move through the body and invade the organs. These include:

Interesting news from Soft Skull Press -- they're starting a subscription program. They're starting with a poetry subscription for $50, which is a good savings off the cover price of the books. To follow are subscriptions for Fiction, Pop Culture, Graphic Novels, and Queer Studies (what I want to know is: when can I subscribe to Graphic Queer Pop Fiction?). It's sort of like Book-of-the-Month Club, except it's not, because you know what you're getting for the whole year and it's all from one very good independent publisher. (Soft Skull published, among many other things, Lydia Millet's Oh Pure and Radiant Heart, among my favorites of last year.)
A publisher offering a subscription to its books, or a certain line of its books, is not an entirely new idea -- the history of publishing has various forms of subscriptions for books, and there are contemporary examples such as AK Press's Friends program -- though I do imagine it could add considerable administrative hassles (Richard Nash of Soft Skull wonders, "Will keeping track of these subscriptions be a nightmare, as if we were trying to run a magazine on top of a publisher? By extension, will our interns hate me?").
There are lots of small press publishers that might be able to benefit from subscription programs (if they could work out the details), and I'll be curious to see if anybody becomes inspired by Soft Skull's example -- there are actually quite a few publishers that would be worth subscribing to, and such a program would be a good way for authors who might otherwise have trouble getting noticed to find an audience.

Cloverfield Press does it too (cloverfieldpress.com). And with that, I plug myself.ReplyDelete
I heart Cloverfield. Everyone should subscribe to them. Everyone.ReplyDelete
Subscriptions are great. I think McSwys does it, sometimes, as well. It really is a great idea, especially with smaller presses that consistently do good stuff.

The mother of a girl whose skeletal remains were recovered from a mass grave near Linden last year has filed a lawsuit, blaming the sheriff for causing her "extreme shock" in his approach to digging up the old well.
Joan Shelley accuses San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore of using heavy earth-moving equipment that caused her daughter's remains to be "chewed up, pulverized, destroyed, crushed and commingled" with other murder victims, court papers say.
JoAnn Hobson presumably fell victim to Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog, who led a 15-year killing spree until their arrests in 1999. The killers were never charged in her death.
Shermantine's tips led investigators to the well, where they found remains from three women and a fetus. The FBI has taken over the search now under way at a nearby well being dug by hand.

Ruth Evelyn Russell was born at 11:55 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014, becoming Hannibal Regional Hospital's first baby in 2014.
She weighed 7 pounds and 9 ounces, and was 19 inches long.
Ruth is the daughter of John and Dr. Lisa Russell of Monroe City, Mo.
She joined two older sisters, Anna, 3; and Isabelle, who was 2 years old on Dec. 29.
Anna is ready to play with her youngest sister, but might have to wait awhile to play her favorite game, Hide and Seek.
"We thought she (Ruth) might be born on Isabelle's birthday," Lisa said. Ruth was due on Christmas, Dec. 25.
Lisa's labor was induced on Jan. 2.
Ruth and her sisters are members of a busy family. Their dad is a lawyer, and their mother operates her own orthopedic practice.
Ruth is going home from the Chris Coons Women's Care Center at the hospital with several gifts. Among them are:
• A $2,000 scholarship from Hannibal-LaGrange University
• A baby blanket and hat made by members of the Hannibal Regional Hospital Auxiliary
• A diaper bag and layette set from Birthright of Hannibal
• A large basket filled with baby gifts from Hannibal Regional Hospital.

Scripture: Mark 11:22 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered.
23 "truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. (NIV)
Observation: From what I read in these four verses there must be agreement with what I believe in my heart and the words that come out of my mouth. Faith without works is dead, and the first work of faith will commonly be speaking. The emphasis is not on my faith supporting my words, but my words expressing my faith. It is a heart matter, not a mouth matter.
Application: My words are an expression of the faith I have in my heart. The more I get to know the Lord and the more my heart and mind align with Him, the more faith will be heard in my words.
Prayer: Lord, may my confidence in you be easily recognized in my conversation! Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

I do like all of these Albums, order of preference for me .....1. Outside2. Heathen3. Hours4. Reality5. Earthling~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Go on Bowie get the likes of Tony Visconti, Brian Eno, Moby etc.to give you a hand and finish off the Outside Trilogy ...

When asked to rank these albums, I felt that I actually liked them all. My ranking:1. Outside 2. Heathen3. Reality4. Earthling5. Hours(Bootlegs: Toy ranks among the worse of those, the Omikron soundtrack and the Outside outtakes among the better.)It's SAILER, idiot!
I still like "Heathen" a lot. "Earthling" certainly sounds dated but still quite lively and special. The rest I could do without though I have to admit that I liked "Hours" when it came out. Dead now.1. Heathen 8/102. Earthling 6/103. Reality 4/104. Outside 4/105. Hours 3/10TW GOD OF FOOTBALL
Hours is an underrated album for me! -----------------------------------------------------Claude
I like them all, but my rating is1) Heathen2) Reality3) Outside4) Earthling5) HoursBut all of them are good, and in fact very different, so they are top albums in their own league.And I agree with Bello that Hours is underrated, but must admit that I don't listen to it that much anymore./Carsten

Comments about Lab Series Skincare for Men Shave - Triple Benefit Post-Shave Remedy, 1.7 oz:
My skin tends to get really sensitive after a shave, which is exactly why I only do it once a week for the most part. But whether it's the usual Sunday-only routine or during weeks where I find myself needing to shave a little more often, this stuff keeps my skin smooth and irritation free. A little pricey, but definitely worth it in my eyes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop
Hodgkins disease
with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing Hodgkins disease. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors for Hodgkins disease include:
Immunodeficiency or autoimmune disorders, including the presence of HIV, increase your risk of Hodgkins disease.
Hodgkins disease seems to occur more often in people who have been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus or
Hodgkins disease seems to occur more often in people between the ages of 15-40 and over age 55. Peaks occur at age 20 and age 70.
Slightly more males than females are diagnosed each year.
Having a close relative with Hodgkins lymphoma increases your chances of developing the disease. If your parent, child, or sibling has Hodgkins disease, your risk is increased threefold. If a younger brother or sister has Hodgkins disease, your risk is increased sevenfold.
People of European descent are more likely to develop Hodgkins disease than people of other ethnic groups.

Though Sandra Dallas was born in the south, on a farm in Virginia, she is a westerner through and through. The Colorado author's love for western history began when she was quite young. Her mother took her to see the famous sites in Washington, D.C. before the family moved to Denver when she was 6 years old. Once in Denver, the family continued to explore.
"In Denver, she took us to Larimer Street, then a slum, to see the historic buildings," Dallas said. "So I've been interested in history as long as I can remember."
Dallas is the featured speaker at a fundraising event for the Eagle County Historical Society on Thursday. The author plans to talk about her writing process and her latest book. There will be time for questions, and what Dallas hopes will be a good discussion.
"It's always the questions that make a talk interesting," she said.
Kathy Heicher, the president of the historical society, said the group likes to mix history with fun, which is what prompted them to invite Dallas to town.
"Sandra Dallas is a well-known author who mixes history with the plots of her books," Heicher said. "Many of us had been enjoying her books for years. We were brainstorming a special event for the Historical Society and thought 'what if we bring in Sandra Dallas for a party and talk?' ... We are thrilled to have an author of this caliber visiting Eagle County."
While Dallas' books typically touch on well-documented historic events, she mixes those facts with "believable characters, then binds all that together with a plot that offers a little mystery, romance or adventure," Heicher said. "These are not 'formula' books. She offers widely varied writing approaches and intriguing plots."
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Historical Society, which operates the Eagle County Historical Museum and presents local history programs at schools and throughout the community, including cemetery tours and walking tours of local towns. Dallas took the time to answer a few questions for the Vail Daily:
Vail Daily: You were a journalist for many years - a reporter for BusinessWeek for 25 years and the magazine's first female bureau chief. Do you miss journalism?
Sandra Dallas: I was lucky to work during the heyday of press journalism. I miss the connection to the news, of interviewing people who are making news, of learning about so many different subjects, of writing stories that made a difference in people's lives. Because I don't spend my day as a journalist, I'm less well-informed that I was. But I don't miss the stress. And I find writing novels to be more rewarding. Those are my words and stories, and books are more lasting than magazines.
VD: What prompted you to write your first novel, which you did while you were working as a journalist.
DS: Two journalist friends and I decided to write a bodice-buster and make lots of money. It was a lark, and we didn't put much effort into it. Among other things, it was a lot harder than we thought it would be. But I realized during that exercise that I loved writing fiction. So I pulled out a manuscript I'd written years earlier and rewrote it. It didn't work then. (It was alter published as The Chili Queen.) I tried a woman's western, and then I wrote Buster Midnight's Cafe. I was 50 when it was published, by the way.
VD: You have a new book out this month, called "The Quilt Walk." Tell me what inspired it?
DS: The Quilt Walk is for children ages eight to 12. It's based on a story in a history of quilting I wrote several years ago, The Quilt That Walked to Golden. A friend told me the title story would make a good children's book. I played around with the idea but didn't get serious until I was approached by Sleeping Bear Press last year about writing a children's book.
VD: Are in the process of writing another book? If so, what can you tell me about it.
DS: The next book is Fallen Women, about an 1885 murder of a prostitute in Denver. Her sister, a New York social worker, attempts to find the killer. While my other books have had had murders in them, this is my first real mystery. It will come out a year from now.
VD: What am I not asking that I should know about?
DS: Ah, money. Everybody wants to know how much you make, because people know about the million-dollar contracts signed by big authors. But few people have the nerve to actually ask. In fact, writing is a job, a nice job, but very few get rich off it. And people think you enjoy fame. I ran into a college friend not long ago, who asked, "Do you lead a glamorous life?" I'm sitting here at my computer in jeans. I have to write a blog and post some stuff on Facebook, then work on my monthly Denver Post column. When I finish, I'll go down to the basement and put the laundry in the dryer. I have to rip out the tomato plants, which did poorly this year. I need to figure out what to fix for dinner, take some stuff to the Goodwill, and I ought to rake, but I won't. I dislike raking. Oh, and I have to write a page of the novel I'm working on.

Something is killing off the moose and no one is sure why
The winter tick problem in New Hampshire is particularly vexing. The animals lose so much blood they can become anemic. Worse, the ticks drive the moose crazy; they constantly scratch, tearing off large patches of hair.

Mercury News Columnist
NEW ORLEANS -- Joe Staley had no trouble naming the best part about the team's flight here Sunday.
"The seats," said the 49er offensive tackle upon arrival.
The seats weren't normal seats. Instead of booking their usual 757 airplane for a Delta charter flight to the Super Bowl, the 49ers upgraded and took a 747 normally used for international trips such as their journey to London in 2010. Thus, the plane featured roughly 30 adjustable seats that folded back like beds, each in its own mini-cubicle. The Big Easy Chairs?
"I was able to sleep," said center Jonathan Goodwin, only in his second season with the team. "Normally I can't do that on a plane. That's the first time we've had those since I've been here."
The collapsible-bed seats were assigned by seniority, Goodwin said. Rookies and the coaching staff, including head coach Jim Harbaugh, sat back in coach. Which is appropriate, right?
The most important news, of course, was that the team arrived in town with no incident -- and that the dreaded "Super Bowl distractions" factor had not yet distracted them. Of course, they'd only been in town for an hour or so.
But in truth, the distractions factor is probably overrated. These are professional athletes. They are used to being in places with crowds and noise, you know? Many of them (as well as Harbaugh) have also been to various and sundry Super Bowls as fans — each NFL player is allowed to buy two tickets every year — and have some idea of what they're facing this week. Although a few do not.
"I just never felt like going," said defensive lineman Justin Smith. "I just figured I would go when I played in it."
"I bought tickets for some friends once but didn't go," said tight end Delanie Walker. "I promised myself I would only go if I was playing in it."
Goodwin, a member of the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl team three years ago, said his only advice to 49er teammates was to get their family-travel and game-ticket situations settled before they left the Bay Area.
"You've got to eliminate all your distant cousins and new friends," Goodwin said. "My wife told me, 'I'll be the bad guy if you want,' which I appreciate. I think people believe we have unlimited access to Super Bowl tickets. And a lot of people don't realize we have to pay for them."
Each 49er does receive two complimentary tickets to Sunday's game but can buy up to 13 additional seats -- at $950 face value.
"If you mention how much the tickets cost," Goodwin said, "those requests from the distant cousins usually go away."
Staley, who attended the 2009 Pittsburgh-Arizona Super Bowl in Tampa Bay with his father, who is a Steelers' fan, said the experience gives him some idea of what the week here will be like. But he plans to treat it like a business trip.
For most teams, it's unusual to move the entire franchise operation out of town for an entire week. But as Harbaugh noted, it helps that during the last two seasons, the 49ers have spent a week in Youngstown, OH, during a two-game road trip back east. They grew accustomed to holding all meeting in hotels and busing to and from workouts at a remote location. Here, the 49ers will practice and meet at the New Orleans Saints facility with additional meetings at their headquarters hotel.
"I just want us to enjoy the moment, enjoy the preparation, enjoy the competition when the game comes," Harbaugh said.
Sunday, they were definitely able to enjoy the luxury airborne accommodations. The second best thing about the plane ride here, said Staley, was that each of the bed-like seats had its own television with on-demand programming, so he was able to watch several episodes of the former HBO television series, "How To Make It In America."
And the third best thing, Staley said, was the 10-minute nap he was able to take at one point.
"That was pretty fantastic," Staley said.

The ISBN is for the illustrated paperback edition of UT, so it may be an image error as the cover changes have not affected the illustrated editions as far as I know.
I have now found the equivalent A-Format edition of The Hobbit - ISBN 9780261102217 - mine is a 115th impression of the "2006 Edition".

You have many options for treating acne during pregnancy, including self-care and medication.
Pregnancy acne isn't a special form of acne. Many women simply seem to have trouble with acne during pregnancy. Although it isn't always clear what causes acne to get worse during pregnancy, the likely culprit for most women is an overproduction of oil (sebum) — which happens when certain hormones go into overdrive. Fortunately, you're not at the mercy of your hormones.
To treat pregnancy acne, start with self-care:
Beyond self-care, you might consider medication as a treatment for pregnancy acne. However, any medication that's applied to your skin or swallowed can enter your bloodstream and affect your baby. As a result, it's important to exercise caution during pregnancy — even with over-the-counter products.
Options for treating pregnancy acne with medication include erythromycin (Erygel), clindamycin (Cleocin T, Clindagel, others) and azelaic acid (Azelex, Finacea). These medications are typically applied to the skin and are available by prescription. However, opinions about using benzoyl peroxide to treat pregnancy acne are mixed. There's little research on the safety of benzoyl peroxide during pregnancy, although problems haven't been reported.

An armed suspect has been taken into custody without incident after threatening harm to employees of the Oasis Truck Plaza in Richland.
At approximately 3:34 a.m. Sunday , the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department received a 911 call from the Oasis Truck Plaza, advising a suspect had entered the business, became violent and was making threatening statements to employees.
Apparently, the lone male suspect entered the business attempting to sell firearm ammunition and when denied, he reportedly threatened to shoot the employees.
Believing the man was armed with a weapon, employees at the Oasis Truck Plaza were able to secure themselves inside after the suspect exited the building to possibly secure a weapon.
When sheriff deputies arrived, they found the suspect in his vehicle and armed with numerous firearms.
After a brief standoff, the suspect was taken into custody and transported to the Pulaski County Jail, where he will be charged with numerous criminal offenses.
The suspect is a 55-year-old man from Glencoe. His identity will be released upon being formally charged.

Code Pink Co-Founder Interrupts Obama Speech
President Barack Obama's big speech Thursday at the National Defense University was interrupted – loudly – by Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, a group that has long protested the U.S. wars and counterterrorism policies.
While Code Pink members are regularly thrown out of congressional hearings, the security personnel at the speech allowed her to remain for a while. She used the opportunity to repeatedly criticize the U.S. policy on Guantanamo and drones. Code Pink also held a 50-person rally outside NDU, said Alli McCracken, a Code Pink organizer, who confirmed Ms. Benjamin was the protester.
Ms. Benjamin pointed out that Mr. Obama is the commander in chief and should shut down the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which houses 166 detainees. including many who have been on a months-long hunger strike.
As she was escorted out, Ms. Benjamin shouted a series of questions at the president:
"Can you tell us why Anwar al-Awlaki was killed?
"Can you tell the Muslim people that their lives are as precious as our lives?
"Can you take the drones out of the hands of the CIA?
"Can you stop the signature strikes that are killing people on the basis of suspicious activities?
"Will you apologize to the thousands of Muslims that you have killed?
"Will you compensate the innocent family victims?
"That will make us safer here at home.
"I love my country. I love the rule of law! The drones are making us less safe."
After she was led outside, Mr. Obama said, "I think that I'm going off script, as you might expect, here." The line drew laughter, but the president remained serious. "The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to," he said. "Obviously, I do not agree with much of what she said, and obviously she wasn't listening to me in much of what I said. But these are tough issues, and the suggestion that we can gloss over them is wrong." (See the full transcript.)
The National Defense University said late Thursday that the protester gain access because she was on a list of media attendees, and after being removed from the lecture hall was questioned by military police.

Hello people, its my first time here.
I love Ps3 media server, I really do and it works fine in my Windows 7. I now migrated my life to Ubuntu and the only software I am still forced to use in windows 7 is PS3 media server.
Every time try to run PSM on Ubuntu linux never works, not even once. WHY !? It must have something to do with permitions.
I tried installing from the ubuntu software center or running directly from the files downloaded from this site, the result is the same, NEVER WORKED, not even once.
Any help would be absolutely great and welcome because this is the only thing keeping me from Using Ubuntu only and I have to keep going back to the stupid windows to use this program.
Any help please? How do I get PMS to run on Ubuntu linux please? What am I doing wrong or what should I do to make it work?
Tank you all in advance and congratulations for the great program wich we all love and for the great comunity.

A Jackson County Circuit Court judge has denied the Rogue Valley Manor board's request for a temporary restraining order, which the board said was necessary for its efforts to continue to seek separation from Pacific Retirement Services.
The Manor board sought the restraining order to forestall what it said would be the imminent removal of Manor board members by the PRS board and the firing of the Manor's executive director, Kevin McLoughlin.
Judge Philip Arnold ruled against the Manor board's request, saying the Manor's own bylaws establish PRS as having full authority to remove Manor board members and that the there was no basis for the court to step in to protect McLoughlin's job.
The Manor board had taken the action as a precursor to its efforts to be separated from PRS control. The Manor created PRS in 1991 to provide management services, but in doing so PRS in essence became the parent company of the Manor. Manor board members and residents say they are being charged exorbitant fees by PRS and would like to have more control over the facility's operations.
The Rogue Valley Manor provides "life care" retirement services that include housing, meals, activities and medical services. In addition to the Manor, PRS operates retirement facilities and other operations in numerous cities.

The Hottest Guys of the Final Four
Blindfold him with his tie and lead him to a spot in the house where you two haven't gotten it on before. The fact that you're in total control (since he can't see a thing) and that he doesn't know where he is makes it extra hot.
Role-play a naughty scenario where you call him Sir/Profressor/Mr. If you forget and refer to him by his first name, you get a sexy spanking. Or, have your guy refer to you as Ms./Madam/whatever, and the same rule applys to him.

Should have taken Patty Mills, young and plenty of upside. He would be cheap as well.
Can we still trade for rudy? Im anxious to get someone very good off our bench and is contract is only 1 mil
tb727 says:
Ehh, sort of disappointed, I'd rather have had Delonte West than Wafer. But I suppose it's better to have Wafer than no one. He can shoot too, unlike Tony Allen.
He seems to be an ideal candidate for a WTHHT in the future lol
as an aussie, i would have loved patty mills in green
JR says:
Thanks ACF for breaking this on here.
Bohemian says:
I was very surprised to see this signing and though for what I've seen he is a very nice offensive player, I was disappointed because I thought the Rudy deal would no longer happen. But after thinking more into it, I've realised this may be a mastermind move by Ainge. According to some reports in a blazers blog and around the web, Portland may have asked for two 1st rounders in a deal for Rudy and that may have caused some doubts in Ainge. If this is indeed true, then this is a safe signing in case the Rudy deal doesn't finally happen and more importantly it's a counter attack move by the C's to push the Blazers to lower their trade demands...
What was rumored was Przybilla and Rudy for 2 1sts plus maybe Lafayette and Gaffney.
This may also be a way to secure some roster spot in case a deal happens with Portland and also with Cleveland for Shaq. We'll see but this is getting interesting ;)
BTW, welcome to Boston, Vakeaton Quamar!
Bohemian says:
Just in case, this is the link to the blazers blog:
Let's get Rudy!!!!!
We're getting too many young immature kids. Big Baby, Nate, & now Wafer. Hopefully he can provide a scoring punch off the bench on nights when Ray or Paul is off and when Nate is just too much of a liability. I would have preferred Rashad McCants though if we were going with shooter over defense. Wish we would have waited a little bit longer for Delonte though. We really can't afford a player of his caliber to end up on the Lakers, Magic, or Heat.
He's a hot head. Hell I'd prefer Matt Janning over this guy. Not like Wafer has tons of experience.
Jeannot says:
As of now, I dont really know him. But when I read the comments, its a bad thing. But, there were alot of questions with nate too, and if he did not win game 6 for us he def helped ALOT. Look at the nate robinson in Knicks and in celtics. Thats a huge difference.
I'm surprised how many fans are unhappy about this signing. I was very impressed with his play in the conference semis vs the Lakers in 09. He's proved he can play under the bright lights and should provide some scoring punch off the bench. He also has the size and athleticism to fit in defensively. It's for only the VM and shouldn't affect our ability to trade for Rudy either. I don't think Rudy would like his role though if he's complaining about played behind Brandon Roy. That could end up being bad for team chemistry if you can't get him to buy in. Clearly he's not happy on the bench in Portland so I doubt he'd be happy doing the same in Boston.

In favour of the label:
- I'm in favour of a progressive tax system
- I'm in favour of the welfare state, the principal of the NHS and free education at all levels
- I'm in favour of many aspects of employment law designed to protect the interests of the employees
- I'm in favour of basic infrastructure (roads, power, water, etc.) being provided and maintained by the state*
- I believe that it is the responsibility of government to do what it must do, not what it can do
- I believe that welfare benefits should never be seen as an acceptable option to working
- I believe that governments should regard reducing tax on earned income and productive businesses as a moral duty
- I believe that governments should seek to be as unobtrusive as possible
- I believe that if a law cannot be clearly and unambiguously justified, then it shouldn't exist
The 'For' list seems to me vaguely socialist (at least by my definition), but the 'Against' list would to some extent would get me branded as a partial libertarian. Am I just confused and trying to believe in things that essentially contradict each other, or does the rather one dimensional nature of political branding inevitably create this confusion where none need exist?

Italy, 2012, 96 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Colorado, Drama, Family Issues, Sports
Programs: Contemporary World Cinema, Spotlight on ColoradoLanguage: Arabic, Italian English Sub-Titles
Shot and edited in an evocative vérité style that favors handheld camerawork, shallow compositions, and dark, naturally lit spaces, Joel Stangle's second Sicilian-set feature follows two struggling boxers as they prepare for a make-or-break bout.
After being struck by a car, Sicilian-born boxer Toscano (Enrico Toscano) is forced to live with an unfeeling uncle and work a low-paying, dead-end job. In the meantime, his girlfriend, Delia (Elisa Pennisi), who dreams of going back to school and starting a better life, receives some unwelcome news. Toscano ultimately agrees to return to the ring, despite the nagging injury that should give him serious pause.
Pitted against Toscano is Barca (Ahmed Ahassan), a lower-class Tunisian immigrant whose hardworking wife, Sara (Maria Benkhalouk), initially withholds news of her pregnancy. After a chance meeting on the mean Catania streets, Barca brings home Tahir (Anwar Ong Bak), a 17-year-old Tunisian alone in the Italian city. Barca's generosity provides added stress to the already economically imperiled household, especially after the boy sends the whole of his paycheck back to North Africa.
The moody Ring of Water offers its characters little respite from their mounting challenges. Stangle instead approaches his subject from a position of candor, with the acknowledgement that everything might not go as hoped for Europe's new, multi-ethnic underclass—even if the film does end with a hard-won glimmer of hope.
