I have four family women who were born in June. I have quickly knit up four different mobius scarves to give to them on their day. It has been fun to see the colors merge and change. I think they will like them best when the cooler weather arrives next Fall.

Comments about Noro Odori:
I used the bright rose color way to crochet a lap robe for myself. I used the darker colors to knit hats and a child's vest. The hats have gone to a breast cancer patient. I wanted this fiber combination so that any items I made would be pretty easy to care for.
Service and delivery comments:
Prompt delivery, arriving in good condition.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful but not wearable
By juju

About Me Novice, Parent
First skein broke/tore when I tugged on it with some force. Some very sharp/rough fragments occasionally (as if fiber not separated from NOT fiber). Would not suggest using for clothing (unless outerwear). Beautiful color and texture. Hard to knit quickly due to coarseness of the yarn.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have only used this yarn for cowls which I sell when people ask for them. The colors are amazing when knitted and it is a loose cowl which gets looser as it is worn or washed. So pretty and so impressive. People always comment when I wear mine.
Colors are lovely, yarn is OK

About Me Enthusiast, Long Term Knitter
I bought this at the Webs winter sale. My husband loves the colors in Noro and wanted a sweater. I wind every skein and choose matching ones for the sleeves. It's really bulky so choosing a pattern that will work with the yarn to show off the colors is tricky. I don't like to make the same sweater over and over.
I bought this at the store in Northhampton

About Me Artist
I wasn't sure what this yarn was but was disappointed in my choice of this type. Too coarse for my taste. Will call first the next time I purchase before going ahead, especially if I'm unfamiliar with the yarn.Thought it would have made a nice scarf because of the color pallette.

"This is one of the best days of the year for me," head coach Willis Wilson said. "Being able to finally work with our players in full-go practices is the first step our team will take in a long journey this season. Watching this team grow throughout the 2011-12 season will be a thrill for our coaches and our fans."

The squad also will host an exhibition game on Saturday, Nov. 5, against Incarnate Word at the American Bank Center.
On Saturday, Oct. 15, both the men's and women's teams will participate in Islanders Invasion immediately following the 1 p.m. volleyball match against Southeastern Louisiana at the Dugan Wellness Center. Both teams will take part in a three-point contest and a scrimmage, while the men's team will compete in a slam-dunk contest.

It will snow in New Orleans on Dec. 5 -- sort of
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 8:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 8:12 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Snow is rare in New Orleans, but a little patch of the city's uptown area will be covered with it on Dec. 5.
Loyola University is scheduled to blanket its broad green space fronting historic St. Charles Avenue with 20 tons of manufactured snow.
The university says the annual event will again include hot chocolate and carolers for students and the university's neighbors to enjoy. The event is sponsored by the University Programing Board.

|(D) Unreliable testimony... >
|(H) Falsification of sta... >>
(C) False attribution and manipulation of corroborating testimony confirming the authenticity of TB 47.
1. Irving claimed to have been able to talk to a number of Grosse's 'war-time police associates' who 'have spoken out for its general authenticity.'106 However Irving has never identified any of them in his published work. He wrote to the Bundesarchiv, the German Federal Archive, in December of 1964 asking them to comment on TB 47, and to help him establish its authenticity.107 They replied that they could not comment on the authenticity of the document, but supplied Irving with the address of Frau Grosse and five former members of the Dresden police.108 Thus Irving was able to establish that there had indeed been a Colonel Grosse, chief of staff to SS Major-General Oberheidacher, but was no closer to vouching for the document's authenticity.
2. In fact it was not Irving who followed up the names provided by the Federal Archive. In March 1965 the German illustrated magazine Der Stern conducted investigations into TB 47 (presumably at Irving's suggestion). On 15 March Irving received the results of their researches. Of the five people named in the letter from the Federal Archive, two would seem to have died and one was marked as 'away.'109 A reporter had managed to interview Major Ludwig Nölke, one of those people suggested to Irving by the Federal Archive. Nölke was unable to comment on the authenticity of TB 47. He had not seen it at the time as it lay outside his area of competence. However, Nölke was willing to comment on the figures in TB 47 based on his position as the then police commander of Dresden Middle: 'Based on his experience and memory the figures about buildings in the Order of the Day could be correct, but not the figure of the dead. Nölke considers the figure of 35,000, which was given by the Lord Mayor Weidauer after the war and that the Soviet officials also adopted, as correct.'110
3. * * Apparently at the suggestion of Frau Grosse, a reporter likewise interviewed Wolfgang Thierig, who had been responsible for air raid precautions in Dresden. 111 Thierig considered the document authentic including the number of dead.112 Irving had no way of knowing it, but, as will be discussed below, Wolfgang Thierig's signature was to turn up a year later on a document which recorded that as of 10 March 1945 (i.e. 12 days before TB 47) the police had been able to establish 18,375 persons as 'killed.' Thierig was lying.
4. Irving would seem to have only contacted one former official himself. In June 1965 Irving approached Werner Bühlmann, a former army officer in Dresden, again at a later suggestion of Herr Teske of the Federal Archive, asking him if he would care to comment on TB 47.113 Bühlmann wrote back that he was unable to comment on TB 47 as he had been hospitalised in Bad Elsten from 20 February 1945 until the end of the war.114 Taken together these three statements would not amount to an endorsement of the 'general authenticity' of the document by any stretch of the imagination.
5. We also have Irving's interview with Frau Eva Grosse, the wife of Oberst Grosse. He reproduced his notes of the interview with her on July 10, 1965, as appendix 5 in the German edition.115
6. Let us pause for a moment and consider the particulars. Irving had in his hand in 1965 a document which, if genuine, would have gone a long way to proving that nearly quarter of a million people died in the attacks on Dresden. To date he had no supporting documentation for TB 47. Of the three of Grosse's former colleagues Irving had been contacted one had been unable to help and one had doubted the authenticity of the death-roll given in TB 47. Only one witness thought the figure to be correct and was lying. The Dresden archivist Walter Lange had clearly told Irving that TB 47 was a fake when he had snapped it away from an unwilling Hahn. Max Funfack, whom Irving had named as the source of the document, denied being such.
7. Irving then met the wife of TB 47's dead author, so it would seem from the details, for the first time.116 Since Der Stern had contacted her in February on Irving's behalf, Frau Grosse had collected and sorted all the papers of her husband, and at the time of Irving's visit was occupied with her son in sifting these papers for reference points to TB 47's authenticity.
8. All well and good. His papers consist of a) his military identification, driving licence etc. b) military assessments of his superior officers from 1930 to 1943 and c) Frau Grosse's correspondence with the Allied authorities to secure her husband's release. The only papers Frau Grosse had that could provide any comparison on which to confirm the authenticity of TB 47 were letters her husband had written to her during his imprisonment after the war.117
9. Never a man to be deterred, and without even the slightest note of irony, Irving solemnly declared in point 10 of his interview that indeed: 'There are clear similarities between the style and expression of the Order of the Day and some of Grosse's letters from the period May to July 1945.'118 TB 47 was of course typewritten, so the similarity alleged by Irving referred to the content of the letters and the report, not to the handwriting. But he provides no evidence whatsoever to show what these supposed similarities were, beyond the fact that both were presumably written in German. Did Frau Grosse's emotional nourishment during the painful period of uncertainty and separation from her husband consist, then, of letters written in the style and expression of a bureaucratic police document such as TB 47? Surly not.
10. Nevertheless Irving obviously concluded that he had been able to confirm the authenticity of a report putting the Dresden death-roll at three times that of Hiroshima. Irving's notes recorded that the interview had lasted from 9.30 p.m. until 10.30 p.m. Allowing a minimal amount of small talk and perhaps ten minutes' perusal of the documents which Frau Grosse handed him to glean the background information contained in points 1-9, we could even whittle this achievement down to the result of half an hour's work.
11. Irving also claimed that Frau Grosse confirmed to him that her husband had mentioned the final figure of 250,000 to her. Point 8 reads that Frau Grosse '...remembers very well how her husband confided in her the daily number of victims found in the weeks after the attack - it grew daily from a figure of 10,000. She remembered his prediction [Vorhersage] that the final figure would be a quarter of a million.'119 In the 1966 English edition of his book Irving writes that Frau Grosse 'confirmed to the author that her husband spoke of the death-roll as having been a quarter of a million.'120 In reporting the details of the interview in 1995, Irving again fails to include the word 'prediction'.121 In Irving's hands, the future tense becomes the past, and a prediction becomes a report.

Tryptophan is an amino acid needed for normal growth in infants and for nitrogen balance in adults. It is an essential amino acid, which means your body cannot produce it -- you must get it from your diet.
The body uses tryptophan to help make niacin and serotonin. Serotonin is thought to produce healthy sleep and a stable mood.
In order for tryptophan in the diet to be changed into niacin, the body needs to have enough:

What's Going On?
As the late great Marvin Gaye said 'What's going on?' Benitez, Dalglish & Rodgers all have one major 'talent' in common... they have all paid BIG money for a lot of average players.
Aqualani £20 odd million
Keane £20 odd million
Pennent £8.5 million
Kuyt £10 million
Babel £13 million
Aurileo & Gonzalez (not big money but rafa did say 'these 2 will light up the Premier League')
Carroll £35 million
Downing £16 million
Henderson £20 million
Cole £free (but oh dear!)
Borini £10 million
Allen £16 million
All 3 managers did make some good signings but has another club spent this much money in the last few years on so many average players? (apart from QPR maybe!) and more importantly Why/How did they all get it so wrong?
Any thoughts would be well received because I am out of excuses and ideas! Not to mention damn frustrated!
(Any mistakes here are down to the 5 pints of Guinness I have consumed; I find it helps dull the pain!)Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
If you want my honest answer, if I personally would want any of them, yes absolutely!
- Ashley Williams
- Nathan Dyer
- (if we had a chance) Scott Sinclair 10 times over and over
- Vorm
- And, regards to Gylfi, he's done little, but Spurs also added Dembele and Dempsey who play the same role as off the striker attackers. Based on what he did as a regular for Swansea and when available in the summer I'm sure everyone was happy with the idea, and it would have actually prevented us buying Allen most likely.. And, we have no idea how well he may have linked up playing off Suarez in between Gerrard/Lucas..
All of these players had about 2 years under their belts in Rodgers system (ours have only 7 months!) and Laudrup is playing the exact same way, with a slight tweak in how he uses Michu..
My thing is, not every player has to be a BIG name player or come from a BIG club to be good enough for LFC. Blackpool aren't really big in Europe and we all desperately want Tom Ince back.. And again, if given the choice, Scott Sinclair would have been a superb signing considering Downing and Sterling are our main wide attackers, and Downing as good as he ever will be, Sterling just 18.. Coutinho is really going to push them both, this season and next!

Kozma was a Souness buy. You mentioned Walters that's why I thought of him.
The pony-tailed one! forgot him.
Kozma - didn't he sign in '92?
Surely even his worst enemy couldn't blame Rafa for that one!
Sadly you missed a few more off the Rafa list. Morientes, Degen, and a certain Italian fullback who nearly reached cult status as a couple of extra examples
You also forgot Hodgson who bought Konchesky, Poulsen and Cole I believe.
There was definitely something broken with our transfer policy and it's been that way fo years and years.
I actually think this year is better, mainly because the purchases make a bit more sense but I agree Borini and Allen are struggling. Borini I'm not sure about but to me there's something about Allen that makes him worth keeping for the moment.

Hi Noo Noo
You missed a few of the Rafa list:-
Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia, Pepe Reina, Daniel Agger, Alvaro Arbeloa, Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano, Lucas, Martin Skrtel, Glen Johnson, Martin Kelly, Raheem Sterling, Suso. Obviously he was also the one the converted JC into one of the best centre backs in the country.
My point being that I'll happily put up with a manager signing dross if he can also pull out a side capable of competing with anyone in the world which is what we had only 5 years ago.
"I actually think this year is better"
I know you're a big BR fan but I'd ask how many of our best XI come from Benitez/Dalglish signings? Count them up, you'll be surprised. BR's summer signings were conspicuous by their absence last night - Allen was awful again, Borini rightly got nowhere near the park and we haven't heard much from Assaidi for quite a while. Nuri Sahin has picked up his wages and left and, before anyone points to Dan Sturridge, I remind people of the post I put up back in October - the reports at that time suggested it was BR that pulled the plug on Sturridge moving to us in the summer.
How is this year better?
Don't get me wrong, I think Allen in particular may come good and understand that BR is inexperienced and may improve in spotting what he wants to bring in. It's just that I don't think it's right to criticise other managers and then praise BR's signing record when the truth in front of us doesn't bear it out.
Hope you don't mind me disagreeing with you on this point.

MINA – A 1-year-old boy died Saturday of injuries from a crash in Chautauqua County last week.
Achilles McBride of Westfield was a passenger in a pickup driven by Matthew McBride, 39, which crashed Wednesday into the rear of a tractor-trailer that had pulled off I-86 and onto the shoulderin the Town of Mina, because of poor visibility.
The infant was initially taken to Hamot Medical Center in Erie, Pa., then transferred to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he died.
Chautauqua County Sheriff's investigators said the crash occured about 12:47 a.m. in the eastbound lane of the interstate. McBride, they said, did not see the tractor-trailer, which was driven by Dale Legg, who was uninjured.
Another passenger in the pickup, Esmeraldo McBride, 28, was taken to Hamot, then transferred to Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, and listed in critical condition.
No charges have been filed.

No Charges Filed in Lakeland Businessman Chris McLaughlin's Case
Prosecutors won't proceed with an aggravated assault charge.
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 12:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 12:04 a.m.
BARTOW | Prosecutors will not go forward with aggravated assault charges against a prominent figure in local real estate.
Chris McLaughlin, 39, was arrested Jan. 5. Deputies said his estranged wife accused him of holding a handgun to her head before they began living apart last year.
The State Attorney's Office decided Friday not to formally file any charges against McLaughlin, an operating principal of four Keller Williams Realty franchises and founder of Maximize Social Media in Lakeland.
A written evaluation of the case states that prosecutors took into account that McLaughlin has been receiving treatment for a "mental health problem," including at a facility in Houston.
The document also states his wife, Stacey McLaughlin, wanted him to seek treatment, and she didn't want him to be incarcerated.
Chris McLaughlin's lawyers, Benjamin Hardin Jr. and Jeffery Pratt, wrote in an email to The Ledger that their client has always denied the aggravated assault allegations and thanked the State Attorney's Office for "reaching a just decision."
"Mr. McLaughlin request(s) privacy for he and his family during this difficult time," his lawyers wrote.
Stacey McLaughlin filed for divorce Sept. 25, and the case has not been resolved yet, according to court records.

I have been playing around with this app for the last few days now and have been enjoying some of the .mkv's I have only been able to watch on my PC since my old modded xbox1 cant handle the 720p formats.
On to my question. I can see the media server when running it on my main PC but ther are no options for any of the other "streaming features" is has listed like internet streams for web radio. I have searched the forums but havent found anything this basic yet.
What am I missing here? I would assume there would be some extra links in the media server somewhere to play the streams?
Thanks for the help

PLEASANTON -- Lobster fries, macaroni and cheese stuffed burgers and the world's hottest ice cream. With these and nine other finalists vying for top honors, which spin on an old classic would lay claim to the perfect fair food?
Judges at the Alameda County Fair's first-ever "Snackdown" food competition answered the question Tuesday, sampling the mostly battered fare and rating the entries on appearance, creativity, taste and theme.
Tony and Tamee Cardinali's spaghetti ice cream took home the wrestling-style championship belt for the competition's overall award, as well as the trophy for the best tasting dish.
To wow the judges, the Cardinalis gave a live demonstration of their creation, running homemade gelato through a custom-built extruder to create the "spaghetti," topping it off with a strawberry puree "marinara sauce," white chocolate "cheese" and mint "basil."
"We do it in front of the customer, so it's all about the show," said Tony Cardinali, a vendor from Huntington Beach. "People love it."
The Cardinalis also made the finals with the "World's Hottest Ice Cream," made with a blend of ghost peppers and Trinidad moruga scorpion chili peppers. Judges were cautioned not to eat the whole spoonful.
The inaugural competition, hosted by KCBS' "Foodie Chap" Liam Mayclem, also awarded trophies resembling a turkey leg and corn dog for best creativity and expression of the fair's patriotic theme.
Nate Janousek, owner of the food stand Get Pickled, won the creativity prize with his Pickle Dog, a pickle deep-fried in homemade batter and stuffed with a kosher hot dog.
"It's everything you want in a hot dog," Janousek said. "I wanted to find something different. ... People come here looking for that one thing they can't find everyday. The food itself is an attraction."
Janousek's creation caught the taste buds and imagination of Passport Magazine food critic Jim Gladstone, who was mystified by how it was made.
"It's definitely something I would come back for," Gladstone said. "It's super clever and great for kids."
Winning the theme prize was Jill Butler of Butler Amusements for a red, white and blue pizza -- a flatbread pizza topped with tomatoes, blue cheese and bacon.
"Everything's better with bacon," Butler said.
Other finalists included a California burrito with potato fries and "Drunken Pickle Poppers" infused with tequila.
Though he came up short in the voting, Tom Stroud was proud to show off his deep-fried grilled cheese sandwiches, an invention reminding more than one judge of the classic Monte Cristo sandwich.
"People don't come to the fair for salads," Stroud said. "They come to splurge."
Alameda County Fair spokeswoman Angel Moore said she hoped the event would help draw more visitors and promote a healthy (or not so healthy) competition among food vendors.
"This is a way we can challenge our vendors to do something unique every year," Moore said. "We will definitely be having it back."

BERKELEY -- After three road victories to open Pac-12 Conference play, Cal proved it still knows what to do at Haas Pavilion, routing Washington 82-56 in front of 8,072 fans on Wednesday night.
Five Cal players scored in double figures, but the crowd's favorite moment was delivered courtesy of Jeff Powers.
The senior reserve -- suddenly an offensive weapon -- banked in a 3-point shot with 13:18 left, was knocked into the Cal bench by Andrew Andrews, then completed the four-point play with a free throw.
"That was a great play by Jeff," senior forward Richard Solomon said. "I called bank for him if he didn't call bank."
The four-point play made it 47-26, and the Huskies were never heard from again.
Cal (13-4, 4-0) has equaled its best start in conference play since the 2003 season, when the Bears won their first seven league outings.
At least until Thursday night, when No. 1 Arizona faces Arizona State, the Bears are tied for first place in the conference standings. They will take a five-game overall win streak into Saturday afternoon's home game against Washington State (8-9, 1-4).
The win was the 276th in conference play for Cal coach Mike Montgomery, moving him even with Oregon State legend Slats Gill (1929-64) for the third-most in Pac-12 history. Lute Olson (327) and John Wooden (304) sit atop the list.
Washington (11-7, 3-2) had beaten the Bears four of their past five meetings, including the past two games in Berkeley. This one was no contest after the first five minutes.
The final margin was the biggest in a Cal win over Washington since 1997.
"We just came out with the mentality that we were going to keep coming at them," forward David Kravish said. "I think it overwhelmed them a little bit."
Cal's defense held UW to 24 percent shooting in the first half, 30 percent for the game. The Bears blocked seven shots and out-rebounded the Huskies 44-33.
Justin Cobbs took on the assignment of defending Washington senior C.J. Wilcox, the Pac-12's No. 2 scorer. Coming off a 31-point game in a win over Colorado, Wilcox scored just six of his 18 points in the first half, by which point the Bears led 30-17.
"Justin just took away Wilcox, made him look uncomfortable the whole game," Kravish said.
"Defense is going to win games for us," Solomon said, "and we know that."
Montgomery noted there have been times when this team doesn't play as hard defensively when it's not shooting well. That wasn't the case here.
"Tonight we made our minds up," he said. "Hopefully, we're getting the notion if we defend well it's going to make a difference."
Powers has been red-hot since scoring 18 points against Furman on Dec. 28. He had 12 points against the Huskies and has made 14 of his past 19 3-point shots.
Solomon had 13 points and 12 rebounds, and Kravish contributed 11 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. Tyrone Wallace had 14 points, and Cobbs scored 11.
Freshman Jabari Bird, who missed the previous four games with an ankle sprain, played 12 minutes off the bench, totaling two points and five assists.

The all-new Sea Ray 240 Sundeck has increased her capacity from 12 to 13 people and is offered in two power choices, sterndrive or outboard.
By Captain Steve Larivee
As part of a game plan by Sea Ray, the 240 Sundeck has premium level treatments for a 24' (7.32 m) boat with multiple power options. Now, buyers can choose from either an outboard-powered boat, a sterndrive-powered boat or even a jet-powered boat. Today we're going to be looking at the 240 Sundeck, which represents the outboard and sterndrive options, and see how Sea Ray has done.
Stern Differences
While the two versions have slightly different overall lengths, naturally the stern is where the main differences between the two conventional power choices will be seen. Let's look at them individually.
The Sea Ray 240 Sundeck maximizes seating, has a transom gate and large foot well forward so a table can be mounted, giving everyone adequate foot room.
Outboard Version
At the stern of the outboard model there are two swim platforms flanking the 300-hp Mercury Verado that was the optional powerplant on our test boat. Other choices are either 200-hp or 250-hp Verados. The swim ladder is located at an angle off the starboard platform.
To starboard is an optional freshwater shower. Surrounding the engine well are steps that can be used as a service platform for daily engine checks. To port is a seat that serves as an excellent staging area for putting on boards. Stainless steel grab handles are a welcome sight to both interior sides of the platforms.
Sea Ray included a molded in service platform ahead of the engine well that also served to transition to the staging area seat to port.
Underneath the port hand staging seat is a hatch held open by a gas-assist strut and the compartment goes well underneath the port hand cockpit seating. The compartment is deep enough to serve as convenient storage for a multitude of items, including wakeboards and skis.
The outboard version of the 240 has this clever stern seat to serve as a staging area for putting boards on. Underneath is storage that runs under the cockpit seating.
The outboard version of our test boat featured a 300-hp Mercury Verado flanked by two good-sized swim platforms.
Sterndrive Version
The sterndrive version has the usual full-beam swim platform with the engine residing under a sun pad behind the aft cockpit seat. There are two drink holders along with a cubby for placing small items to the port end of the sun pad. Releasing an easily accessed latch just above a grab handle under the aft cockpit seat accesses the engine. The whole sun pad lifts and the engine is exposed showing a neat and orderly installation with even the batteries within easy reach for servicing.
Standard propulsion is a 260-hp MerCruiser 5.0L MPI ECT Bravo III sterndrive, with options for 300-hp 350 MAG MPI ECT Alpha I outdrive or a BIII drive.
The 300-hp MerCruiser 350 MAG engine mounted in the stern of our test boat. Note the sound-deadening material in the lid.
The sterndrive version of the 240 features a full beam swim platform with a concealed 3-step reboarding ladder.
A spacious sun pad is just behind the aft seat in the sterndrive version.
The port side of the sun pad has a convenient cubby for holding small items like suntan lotion and glasses, along with two drink holders.
Under the sun pad is a wet storage compartment that is self draining. Heat from the engine will dry out towels and swim suits in short order.
The cockpit has been expanded in this all-new 240 Sundeck to allow for a larger footprint. To the starboard side a small gate allows entry to the walk-through, which consists of two steps down, into the cockpit. Our test boat was fitted with the optional-standard snap in carpet. The entire deck is fully fiberglass lined and draining from the stern into the bilge.
L-shaped seating to the stern includes flip down armrests with a pair of stainless steel drink holders recessed in. The outboard version of the aft seat lifts to reveal storage as well as access to the battery switch and dual batteries. With the sterndrive version, this seat lifts to access the engine compartment. With both versions, an optional filler cushion creates yet another seat in the cockpit.
A center armrest in the aft seat flips out to reveal drink holders.
Cockpit seating features a convertible port observer's seat and a rear bench seat that can accommodate an optional filler cushion. Note the thickness and classy trim treatments on all of the seat cushions.
The port hand seat has a door underneath that opens to reveal dedicated storage to a 25-quart (23.66 L) carry-on cooler. This is convenient, as it's no longer necessary to have to ask people to get up to access the cooler but simply swing legs to the side.
Convertible Seat.
Just ahead is a convertible lounger that serves as a comfortable aft-facing place to recline with legs extended while watching either the wake shrinking in the distance or the action at the end of the towline. With the seatback flipped aft it becomes an over-wide forward facing seat, creating a second set of eyes looking forward. A spacious armrest in the port bulwarks has a stainless grab handle and the combination provides excellent ergonomics. Dual waterproof speakers are facing the cockpit and they're mounted on the beveled pieces that are molded into the deck liner.
The portside observer's seat has a flip-back seatback that converts from forward facing to aft facing with minimal effort.
Sea Ray added dedicated storage for a cooler under the seats. A lip on the deck keeps the cooler from sliding out underway.
And parents will certainly find safety in the cockpit depth and the roominess of this cockpit will ensure that even when the 240 Sundeck is loaded with friends, everyone will remain friends.
The quality of the upholstery has to be felt to be appreciated. Multiple tones with piping and custom embroidery are used throughout the boat.
Head Compartment
The port console head compartment features a re-styled door that is curved like the older doors but smaller so that it's much less obtrusive in the open position. A small tray in the top of the door serves as a quick spot to place the sunscreen or glasses and the curved bolster adds a raised edge to keep items in place. A strap at the hinge point keeps the door from opening into the helm console. The opening is gasketed all the way around to eliminate vibration. All hardware is stainless steel.
The port storage compartment door is curved and surrounded with a padded bolster that also creates a raised edge to hold small items in the recessed area at the top of the door.
The head compartment itself is a bit cramped, but certainly for a boat in this size and class it serves its purpose. A pump-out head is standard. The bulkheads are all padded with the exception of the forward bulkhead, which as part of the optional trim package is wood veneer with two storage compartments. And the compartment can easily be washed down as it is self-draining into the bilge. Cargo netting is mounted to the portside bulkhead for magazines, storage and incidentals. An interior light is mounted to the aft bulkhead.
The pump-out head is standard. The optional trim package, that includes the forward bulkhead storage shelves, is seen here.
The helm features a wraparound seat that swivels, slides and includes a flip-up bolster. The bolster is well padded and in the lowered position the seat feels comfortable and snug. To starboard is a pair of drink holders and a storage compartment as well as a 12-V power supply. Interestingly, Sea Ray relocated the ignition to this recessed area in the starboard bulwarks removing the key from the knee-strike zone. An armrest is located just behind the engine control and a second armrest at the cap rail allows for small power corrections.
The helm is simple and uncluttered with a SmartCraft gauge providing selectable information while also reducing clutter. Notice the deep cubby to the right of the wheel.
Fashionable treatments such as this carbon fiber panel are evidence of the attention to detail throughout the 240 Sundeck.
One of our test boats was fitted with the DTS, Digital Throttle and Shift system that includes a single pushbutton start and stop, a feature that I found convenient on more than one occasion. A footrest is beveled into the molded console and I found the ergonomics to be spot on, which is an unusual feature for a captain of my height. The three-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilt base. A stereo remote control is over to the port side. Toggle switches are lighted to show when activated. A horn button is located well to the outside in a conveniently located position and in plain sight, plus it is red to separate it from other switches.
The helm seat is a premium bucket version with thick padding, added lumbar padding, custom embroidery, two-tones of material, and a flip-up bolster.
Helm Details.
A small cubby is located to the starboard side of the panel, and Sea Ray nailed the ergonomics of this simple item by angling it downward so items won't spill out when the throttle is advanced. The upscale features start coming through again with the two-tone vinyl trim work on the dash panel embroidered with the 240 designation. All gauges are anti-fog with chrome bezels and include a SmartCraft gauge, providing selectable information.
A SmartCraft gauge is included to provide selectable information and reduce clutter. The dark dash reduces reflections in the windshield.
Above, a vinyl dash panel provides more of the classy look to the 240 as well as adding a small eyebrow for sun protection so the gauges can be read even on sunny days. Our test boat included an optional compass, which was mounted to the port side of the curved eyebrow, and while not directly in line with the captain's sightlines, since this is hardly a boat that will be used for hardcore navigation we can't take away any points.
The digital throttle features a convenient single push start/stop button. Notice the ignition key next to the red kill switch lanyard.
Bow Walkthrough Area
The separation of the consoles allows for plenty of room for walking through while still maximizing the available storage inside. A door leading into the helm console reveals dedicated storage for the cockpit pedestal table. And this is also where the stereo is located, mounted to a separate module that includes a USB port and a 12V power adapter conveniently positioned above a separate tray to hold the MP3 player. A bi-fold door will close off the walkthrough blocking the wind on chilly mornings. Two in-deck storage compartments, as opposed to a single, maximize the additional storage space made available underneath the deck. These are ideal for skis.
Sea Ray went beyond the simple task of dropping a stereo into a secluded space to protect it from the elements. Here the premium stereo is mounted to a dedicated console that includes a 12V power supply, a USB and MP3 port, and even a padded, non-skid storage shelf for a MP3 player.
An air dam closes off the winds on chilly morning and stows flush against the port console when not in use.
Dual deck hatches can be seen over the twin in-deck storage compartments. Note how the two-tone upholstery treatments make a more attractive cockpit.
At the Bow
The bow seating has also been upgraded on this latest addition of the 240 Sundeck allowing for more occupants. Lounge seats to both port and starboard have flip-down armrests. Frequent readers of our reports will recall that we appreciate the ergonomics of flip-down armrests as opposed to flip-up armrests, which have to be latched into position and then released to stow.
The bow has a roomy footwell to accommodate feet from both sides of the bow. An optional filler cushion creates a forward sun pad. Notice the two deck storage hatches.
Redesigned seating at the bow accommodates three-across aft-facing seats.
There are the usual accommodations for storage underneath the lounge seats but with the cushions hinged from the aft end, the storage is not only easier to access but more of it is accessible. The forward seat includes an enclosed storage compartment with the lid creating a non-skid step to the foredeck.
Aft Facing Seats.Two additional speakers are located in this forward area. The bow seating also accommodates aft-facing seating much more appropriately than models we have seen in the past. The bolster/seatback along the bow is the key to this as it runs all the way across, easily allowing for three-across, aft-facing seating.
We not only love the flip-down armrests, but the fact that they're double padded shows the premium treatments seen in the 240 Sundeck.
Fully forward is a nonskid foredeck providing a launching point for swimming from the bow or an easy egress from a bow in docking, aided by the non-skid step of the forward seat hatch cover. Our test boat was equipped with a washdown shower to starboard and dual navigational the lights to either side.
The forward seat includes a non-skid hatch cover over the storage so it can serve as a step to the foredeck.
In the center is a hatch that is held open by a gas-assist strut and the storage compartment is able to accommodate both an anchor and the four-step beach re-boarding ladder. Normally we see this as an either/or arrangement but here Sea Ray managed to combine the two quite effectively.
With the hatch in the closed, position the latch needs to be turned in order to lock, and we'd like to see these latches abandoned industry wide. They're inevitably turned the wrong way leaving the hatch free to flap open once the throttle is advanced, and the latches that unlock when lifting are seen elsewhere on the boat, so why not here? Cleats to both sides of the bow bring the total number of cleats on the 240 Sundeck to 6.
The foredeck is treated with non-skid. Navigational lights are separated to the sides. An optional fresh water shower is just to the left of the hatch.
The anchor locker accommodates both an anchor keeper system and the four-step beach reboarding ladder.
Watersports Ready
Sea Ray correctly configured the 240 Sundeck to be accommodating for watersports. An optional ski-tow pylon can be fitted to the caprail at the transom, but our test boat was fitted with the much more popular optional wakeboard tower. It's a well-executed tower fabricated from powder-coated tubular aluminum rails. A single switch at the helm illuminates both the cockpit lights and tower courtesy lights, all colored white. However, the cockpit switches in two positions and the first detent illuminates blue accent lighting inside the port and starboard bulwarks.
The optional tower has courtesy lights and a custom made bimini top. The powder coating is color matched to the topside color. The tower is easy to collapse.
The Bimini top is curved like the wing of an airplane to reduce wind resistance. It's also mounted drum tight and produced no flapping during our tests.
The tower is also collapsible. By removing two pins the tower folds forward, allowing more clearance for the boat to be stowed in a garage. It can also be lowered and raised with one hand thanks to clever balancing of the components.
With the tower lowered the clearance of the 240 is reduced allowing for storage in most garages.
240 Sundeck OB Performance
The Sea Ray 240 Sundeck OB has a length overall of 23'10" (7.26 m), a beam of 8'6" (2.59 m) and a draft of 3'1" (.94 m). With an empty weight of 4,011 lbs. (1819 kgs.), 3/4 fuel and two people onboard we had a test weight of 4,679 lbs. (2,122 kgs.).
With a single 300-hp Mercury Verado four-stroke turning a 19" (48.3 cm) Enertia propeller we reached top speed at 6000 rpm of 58.9 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 29.8 gph giving us a range of 98 miles.
Best cruise came in at 3500 rpm and 29.3 mph. That speed reduced the fuel burn to 7.65 gph giving us a range of 189 miles and an endurance of 6 hours and 30 minutes while still maintaining a 10% reserve.
We had a time to plane of 3.1 seconds, accelerated to 20 mph in 5.1 seconds, 30 mph in 8 seconds, 40 in 10.1 seconds and continued accelerating through 50 mph in 14.1 seconds.
The 240 Sundeck leans a comfortable 12-degrees into the turns and shows no tendency to fall off.
240 Sundeck OB Handling
The 240 Sundeck OB exhibits a 10-degree bow rise upon acceleration, which leaves clear sightlines to the horizon. Once up on cruise, bring the trim up to about the 1/4 mark on the gauge and that will put her into a proper cruising attitude. She seems to handle quite well, much like the rest of the Sea Ray line in that she stays solid on the water during turns with no tendency to fall off the turn and just a minimal amount of chine walk as the turn gets aggressive.
In hard turns she tends to bleed off speed at a fairly consistent level but that can be countered by adding throttle. Also, be sure to bring the trim down fully if any aggressive maneuvers are planned, otherwise (as when towing) the trim can be left in the cruise position. When taking power off she settles back into the water stern first.
It took some doing but we managed to catch a little air as the 240 zigzagged across the wake of the camera boat.
240 Sundeck I/O Performance
The Sea Ray 240 Sundeck I/O (simply known as 240 Sundeck) has a length overall of 24'1" (7.34 m), a beam of 8'6" (2.59 m) and a draft of 3.1'' (.94 m). With an empty weight of 4,740 lbs. (2,150 kgs.) 35 gallons (132 L) of fuel and three people onboard we had a test weight of 5,555 lbs. (2,520 kgs.).
With a single 300-hp MerCruiser 350 MAG ECT with a B III outdrive we reached top speed at 5200 rpm and 48.7 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 23.15 gph giving us a range of 104 miles.
Best cruise came in at 3000 rpm and 23.5 mph. At that speed fuel burn was reduced to 6.85 gph giving us a range of 169 miles and an endurance of 7 hours 12 minutes while still maintaining a 10% reserve. I found her to be most comfortable at 3500 rpm where we had a speed of 30.4 mph and a fuel burn of 9.1 gph. That only caused a 4-mile penalty in range so feel free to advance the throttle a little bit.
We had a quick time to plane of 4 seconds, accelerated to 20 mph in 6.7 seconds, 30 mph in 9.6 seconds and continued accelerating through 40 mph in 13.6 seconds.
240 Sundeck I/O Handling
The 240 Sundeck I/O was a comfortable boat to handle. She presents a 14-degree bow rise upon acceleration, which produces no loss of visibility to the horizon. Much like her outboard counterpart, she clings to the water when making hard turns but in high-performance turns, much as a test captain would do, she does tend to bleed off a lot of speed. It's also best to lower the drive before entering performance turns as the propeller will tend to ventilate. However, with regular maneuvers such as those one might experience while towing a water skier or wake boarder, there's no need to lower the drive. In high-performance turns she had just a hint of a chine walk but no tendency to slide off the turn or fall off the turn. When taking power off she settles back into the water stern first.
While the 240 Sundeck may not be a new model, this completely redesigned version certainly offers plenty of benefits over previous models. Her large cockpit floor plan, and expansive bow seating has served to increase capacity to 13 people. There is convertible oversized port seating. The port compartment includes a standard pump-out head and upgraded treatments. There's an innovative aft-facing seat at the swim platform and as noted the upholstery treatment is striking. Altogether it appears that Sea Ray intends to compete seriously in the upscale sportboat arena and is doing so with a vengeance.

Graham Readfearn | December 12, 2011
By Graham Readfearn • Monday, December 12, 2011 - 23:26
ON November 24 in Melbourne, Professor Ian Plimer launched his new book which aims to spread doubt and uncertainty on the science of climate change.
Targeting school children and teachers (at least superficially) with his book, Professor Plimer told the audience: "These children are being fed environmental propaganda and these children are too young to be fed ideology"
Yet the book – How to Get Expelled From School – is being supported by the Institute for Public Affairs, a think-tank that exists to do little else than spread its own free-market ideology.
Not only that, but Professor Plimer, a geologist at the University of Adelaide, was actively fundraising for the IPA just last month when the Federal Government's carbon price legislation was passed.
The executive director of the IPA John Roskam, former corporate affairs manager for mining giant Rio Tinto, is on the editorial board of the book's publisher, Connor Court.
During his 20-minute launch speech on YouTube, Professor Plimer criticised climate scientists for being allegedly part of a "political movement". Yet in virtually the next breath, he told the audience "one of the aims of this book is to maintain the rage, because we have an election coming."
So much for spreading ideology and taking the politics out of science?
Since that late November gathering, Professor Plimer has managed to fit in a trip to the UK to speak at a debate in London hosted by a group called Repeal The Act. The aim of the debate was to encourage people to sign a petition calling for the repeal of the UK Parliament's Climate Change Act.
The group boasts as its patron Professor Bob Carter, the IPA's science policy advisor and another Australian climate science "skeptic".
Plimer is also on the advisory committee of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a think-tank chaired by former UK chancellor Lord Nigel Lawson and which has much in common with the IPA.
Both groups aim to spread doubt and confusion on the science of climate change and the efficacy of renewable energy and both have recruited Professor Carter and Professor Plimer as speakers and advisors.
Neither of them are prepared to reveal any details about their funders. Professor Plimer and Professor Carter are also advisors to the Australian Climate Science Coalition and the Galileo Movement – two other climate science denial "think-tanks" which exist entirely to attack climate science and oppose regulation on greenhouse gases.
A recent "research" paper from the GWPF criticizing the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change contained a foreword from former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, in which he described climate change campaigners as "zealots".
On Monday evening this week, Mr Howard was the star attraction at the Sydney launch of Professor Plimer's book at the Sydney Mining Club. The IPA was again a supporter, as it will be for the launch in Brisbane later this month.
Mr Howard said he was an "agnostic" on climate science and displayed an odd paranoia of the "left" when he said: "The progressive left has got their grip on the commanding heights of education instruction in this country."
When Mr Howard uses the term "agnostic" what he's actually saying is that he isn't able to accept the multiple lines of evidence contained in the decades worth of climate science published in journals across the world and backed by every major science academy on the planet that excessive burning of fossil fuels will very likely be bad.
Despite Mr Howard's enthusiasm for the new book and its author, Professor Plimer has never actually had any research published on climate change in a peer-reviewed journal.
When he published his last book – Heaven and Earth – it was roundly and forcefully dismissed by actual climate scientists as being riddled with misrepresentations and errors of fact.
This didn't stop it from being widely popular around the world, and helping influence the likes of Opposition leader Tony Abbott and Australia's most senior catholic, Cardinal George Pell.
Scientists have begun responding in much the same way to his new book (despite ordering the book myself more than a week ago, my order appears to have fallen into a black hole), by pointing out its errors and one-sided ideologically driven narrative.
Review copies for the ABC and Fairfax newspapers have not fallen into a black hole, however. Rather, Professor Plimer revealed in his Melbourne speech that the publisher Connor Court had refused to send them any review copies.
Media coverage so far has been relatively soft and unchallenging, with the ABC's Radio National AM show failing to balance any of the views of Professor Plimer, Mr Howard or the receptive audience in the room of the miners' club.
Plimer is among friends at mining venues. He is a director of mining companies Ivanhoe Australia, Silver City Minerals and the UK-listed Kefi Minerals, and is chairman of TNT Mines (he enjoyed remuneration of at least $140,000 from these companies and holds shares worth about $200,000). He resigned in November as a director of coal seam gas explorer Ormil Energy, even though he is still listed as a director on the company's website.
These associations don't tend to get a mention in media coverage and I doubt it's in the author's biography of his new book either (but I might be wrong).
But the contents of his Melbourne speech do reveal the same tired and long-debunked arguments that scientists diligently tore to shreds in 2009 when his previous book was published.
Professor Plimer claims that the climate has always changed (which it has) and that CO2 is a trace gas (which it is, but is accumulating in the atmosphere thanks to human activity) that couldn't possibly affect the climate (which it can, and does).
A recent analysis of Professor Plimer's statements at the science-based website Skeptical Science – titled Plimer vs Plimer – shows how consistently he contradicts even his own statements.
At the Melbourne launch, for example, Professor Plimer said that there's no relationship between carbon dioxide and global warming. He makes the same statement in his book Heaven and Earth on page 278, but then on page 411, he says "Together with water vapour, CO2 keeps our planet warm so that it is not covered in ice, too hot or devoid of liquid water."
If Professor Plimer is aiming to target school children and families with his new book, then he's also attune to the provocative and cynical nature of his pitch.
The book will in all likelihood help his followers and his fellow free-market ideologues to "maintain the rage" and their climate science denial – even if it is maintained on debunked science.

I can't confirm your statements about chrysotile, but at least we agree on Dr. Plimers good work spreading the word about AGW alarmism. Kids need to know how to combat the propoganda.

Stop your despicable lying
Nader said:
"but at least we agree on Dr. Plimers good work spreading the word about AGW alarmism."
No we don't. I do not in any way condone the lies that Plimer is spreading to children and others.
Moderators, why is this despicable troll allowed to lie and twist what commenters say to the exact opposite of what they actually wrote?
RalphNader replied on Permalink
I'm sorry, you just went off on some irrelvant tangent about asbestos, I took you lack of commentary about Dr. Plimers important work educating children about the lack of science within AGW, to be supportive. In any event you should watch the video and purchase his peer reviewed book, it will be an eye opener. Dr. Plimer takes the politics out and just concentrates on the science.
"Dr. Plimer takes the
"Dr. Plimer takes the politics out and just concentrates on the science."
Clearly he fails at both his own scientific field if he can't identify asbestos & is even worse at fields he has no expertise in at all. The later being less of a surprise.
Plimer is the captain of the SS Fail.
Demonstrating scientific untruth is not 'off at some tangent'
'I'm sorry, you just went off on some irrelvant [sic] tangent about asbestos'
Demonstrating scientific untruth is not to 'go off at a tangent, especially when that scientific untruth is typical of the arrogant bombast and bluster delivered in such a disrespectful manner by the likes of Plimer.
Plimer's credibility now lies in ruins at the bottom of the Marinas Trench, only into the mantle can it now go and I suspect Plimer will continue to drive it down there. The creature is a disgrace to academia and humanity.

Links between asbestos, tobacco and global warming
Nader accuses me of going "off on some irrelvant tangent about asbestos". Nothing could be further from the truth (is that why he cannot see the connection, he hasn't a clue about truth and honesty?).
The deniers have been denying the problems with tobacco, asbestos and climate change for a long time now. Many of the well known AGW deniers were also involved in denying the negative health effects of tobacco and asbestos.
A good place to see this web of deceit is here:
Here is a quote from that article:
"The Scam
The Heidelberg Appeal was, in fact, a scam perpetrated by the asbestos and tobacco industries in support of the GCC [Global Climate Coalition]. It was later funded and controlled by a coalition which included coal, oil and energy interests, so the two denial strands merged".
RalphNader replied on Permalink
I guess your on to something here
I suppose the difference is that some people promote one thing one day and the exact opposite the next. For example Global warming alarmist Stephen Schneider along with many others was pumping Global Cooling before that became debunked. I guess he like other alarmists we're just looking for the next gravy train. Now he denies Global Cooling.
"For example Global warming
"For example Global warming alarmist Stephen Schneider along with many others was pumping Global Cooling before that became debunked. I guess he like other alarmists we're just looking for the next gravy train. Now he denies Global Cooling.
I notice a few things with that video in regards to Stephen Schneider.
1) They inform the viewer "Schneider published papers"…then show a book by Lowell Ponte……..okayyyyyyy.
2) They then point to the small edge document with Schenider name on it. They didn't dare tell us the name of the document, otherwise they know we would look it up & actually see what it said. They were careful not to show any more than a tiny edge of the document, probably because when seen in context, it says the opposite of what the documentary is trying to make out. A good opportunity for another video from Peter Sinclair.
3) The documentary say Schneider said "initially". Then failed to fill in the gaps after that. Virtually every scientist & institute on the planet was skeptical about AGW at first. Evidence was slowly built upon since the late 1800's! It took until probably the late 1990's to convince the rest of the institutions & scientists. Thats the thing about unbiased objective scientists & those scientists enthralled by fossil fuel payments. The unbiased objective scientists can be swayed by evidence & facts.
Here is Schneider in the 1970's actually saying verbatim that he accepts the science. 3:51 ogf this video.
Whereas your "not evil, just wrong" documentary ( a title meant to garner religious fanatics?) took snippets of information & out of context & paraphrased the rest in themselves according to their beliefs.
Oh & it's just a technicality, but Schneider doesn't say that "Now he denies Global Cooling."…...because he's not alive anymore, having passed away last year. Easier to attack the dead isn't it?
Another denier & liar fail.

PARKERSBURG - One woman was rescued from her second floor bedroom in the 1200 block of Juliana Street by firefighters early Sunday morning.
About 6:30 a.m. Sunday, the Parkersburg Fire Department responded to 1209 Juliana St. for a structure fire.
Parkersburg Fire Chief Eric Taylor said Lindsey Yearly, the occupant of the home, was trapped in the second floor bedroom. Firefighters arrived to find the rear of the house engulfed in heavy smoke. Rescue crews safely removed Yearly from the burning home around 6:35 a.m. She was treated for smoke inhalation by St. Joseph's ambulance crews.

The Parkersburg Fire Department responded to a house fire Sunday morning in the 1200 block of Juliana Street and was able to rescue the occupant.
"The occupant was located in the front, second story bedroom and the entire rear of the house was on fire, blocking her escape," said Taylor. "A ladder rescue is very uncommon and difficult, but there was no other option in this circumstance."
Taylor said the 35-year-old Yearly reported to emergency crews she was alerted of the blaze by her 3-year-old dog, Casper, who died as a result of the fire. The dog's barks alerted her to open her bedroom door, he said. According to reports, she opened the door and immediately encountered a wall of fire with thick smoke and heat. She closed the door and immediately called 911, Taylor said.
"There were three things that helped this young lady survive: the dog alerting her, an efficient 911 staff and aggressive rescue efforts by initial fire crews," Taylor said. "Within another 60 seconds, the outcome may not have been as favorable, it was that close."
The homeowner is Tracy Wilson of Florida. Taylor said Yearly recently moved to the Parkersburg area from Oklahoma to work in the oil and gas industry. She is currently being helped by the American Red Cross.
Damage to the home is estimated to be in excess of $100,000, he said. No working smoke detectors were found in the home. An adjacent house, at 1207 Juliana St., sustained about $10,000 in damage to its vinyl siding and windows from radiant heat.
"With the extent of damage, it appears that the fire was burning undetected for a long time. Our origin appears to be near the back porch area and we believe windy conditions may have contributed significantly to the fire spread," said Taylor.
By Sunday evening, investigators were still trying to determine the cause of the fire, said Captain Tim Flinn, chief investigator with the Parkersburg Fire Department..
Fire investigators are asking people who might have taken photos or video of the scene right after the fire broke out to contact the department about letting them review those as well as any other information that might help.
People can call 304-424-8522 if they have information to share, Flinn said.
Staff Writer Brett Dunlap contributed to this story.
