The problem of analysing and forecasting the outer circulation of tropical cyclones has received much less attention than any other aspect of structure and structure change. Its importance depends entirely upon the vulnerability of the persons and property at risk. A common example is an airport with a single runway. A cross wind of only 20-30 kt causes no damage by itself but may be enough to prevent aircraft from taking off and escaping the much stronger winds to come. To the airport manager, the extent of 30 kt winds around the tropical cyclone, and their anticipated time of arrival at the field, are important forecasts indeed!
No standard definition exists for outer circulation. The most common definition appears to be the extent of gale force (17 ms-1, 34 kt) winds at the surface. This is typically 100-500 km from the centre and can be highly asymmetric. Another measure is the Radius of Outer Closed Isobar (ROCI), which is related to (but not interchangeable with) the radius of gale-force winds. Climatologies of the ROCI exist for the Atlantic and western North Pacific, where it has been observed to vary between 100 and 1000 km (Merrill, 1982). Both measures are poorly related to intensity (Weatherford and Gray, 1988); it is possible, even common, to find small tropical cyclones with extremely high maximum winds and very large ones with weaker maximum winds.
Figure 2.10: Percentage of large tropical cyclones relative to all systems in the period 1961-1969 that passed through 5o Marsden squares during August, September and October in the western North Pacific (after Merrill, 1982).
Figure 2.11: Percentage of large tropical cyclones relative to all systems in the period 1957-1977 that passed through 5o Marsden square during August, September and October in the North Atlantic (after Merrill, 1982).
All else being equal, filling tropical cyclones tend to be larger than intensifying ones (Merrill, 1982). More details can be found in Holland (1987).
Outer circulation is conceptually one of the easier aspects of tropical cyclone structure to predict. The governing dynamics, particularly for tropical cyclones entering the subtropics, are more nearly those of large-scale mid-latitude systems and do not involve the complex and largely unobservable interactions between vortex, convection, and surface processes which dominate the core region. Unfortunately, lack of directed research to date means that a climatology of the radius of outer closed isobar (ROCI) and a few general principles implied by it are the only forecast aids available at present. Hence this Guide can only present general principles and climatological information.
The outer circulation is probably the easiest element to observe directly and the most difficult to infer remotely from satellite imagery, for which recent attempts have met with mixed results. Because ships skirt tropical cyclones, the peripheral circulation is often well observed if it affects shipping lanes. Although these observations often define the regions where there are no gales, this is useful information for analysis. When defining the outer circulation near land, issues of anemometer exposure and land-sea roughness difference need to be carefully considered; the gale-force isotach defined at sea can be very slow to advance inland.
Figure 2.12: Examples of lower-tropospheric environments associated with a small tropical cyclone (left) and a large, or growing tropical cyclone (right).
Low level satellite cloud motions produced at larger national centres also may be available, either directly or incorporated in analyses transmitted from these centres. These may define the outer circulation well in quadrants free of high cloud, but except in relatively symmetric tropical cyclones they should not be considered representative of other quadrants. Studies of mean conditions in convective bands associated with tropical cyclones (Wei and Gray, 1985) indicate that surface winds are higher in major cloud bands than in clear regions at the same radius.
Passive microwave radiometers, such as the SSM/I aboard the US DMSP series, can be used to estimate surface wind speeds in rain-free areas. These observations are based on scattering from the wind-roughened sea surface and have shown skill in monitoring peripheral winds around tropical cyclones (Rappaport, 1991).
The climatology of ROCI for the North Atlantic and western North Pacific are contained in Figs. 2.10, 2.11. Note the frequency of larger tropical cyclones late in the season and at higher latitudes in both basins; the western North Pacific also has a tendency to produce large systems at low latitudes that is not apparent in the North Atlantic. The following general principles are suggested:
1. The initial size of the tropical cyclone is related to the environment in which it forms. Most tropical cyclones form near monsoon troughs and tend to be large initially. Tropical cyclones forming in trade-wind regimes tend to be smaller;
2. Tropical cyclones often contract as they intensify, and tend to expand as they fill;
3. Subsequent changes in size follow the change in the tropical cyclone's surroundings. Those which move out of the monsoon trough into the trades may contract. Those which approach a mid-latitude surface trough or enter a break in the subtropical ridge often expand as they are sandwiched between surface anticyclones (Fig. 2.12);
4. Very large tropical cyclones are most common in the subtropical latitudes late in the season. The typical synoptic situation is for the tropical cyclone to move poleward ahead of a mid-latitude trough with the subtropical ridge to its east and a more baroclinic anticyclone to the west.
Particularly in cases 3 and 4, but also for monsoon troughs in which a westerly wind surge accompanies tropical cyclone formation, the extent of gale force winds is likely to be highly asymmetric. It is helpful to devote as much attention to predicting the movement and pressure changes in surrounding synoptic systems as to the tropical cyclone itself. For instance, a developing anticyclone will often be associated with an increased pressure gradient and stronger winds between itself and the tropical cyclone and lead to increased asymmetry. Fig. 2.13 provides a schematic life cycle for tropical cyclones that form in a trade-wind regime.
No known statistical methods exist for predicting outer circulation changes. The ability of dynamical models, both limited area or global, to predict tropical cyclone size have not been evaluated either, although their results probably depend heavily upon the size of the bogus vortex if one is specified and they should therefore be used with extreme caution. Because the vortex size is believed to be related to the dynamics of tropical cyclone motion, a recent emphasis on motion research may indirectly lead to more attention to outer circulation analysis and prediction as well.
Figure 2.13: Average changes of size and intensity of 12 recurving Atlantic hurricanes. The circle is the radius of the average outer closed isobar. (Merrill, 1984).
Recommendation: It is recommended that the radius of outer closed isobar, and/or the radius of gale force winds in four quadrants along, and normal to the direction of motion be added to the "best track" archived for tropical cyclones. Within a decade or less, this will enable climatology-persistence class multiple regression methods to be prepared for each tropical cyclone basin. Synoptic conditions associated with very large or very small tropical cyclones, or rapid increases in outer circulation, should also be summarised and catalogued.

The Long Awaited First CrushThis is such a weird, scary, and fun feeling. I haven't felt this way since I can remember. Maybe never. I've never been inlove, but infatuated with the idea and desire of it.
I'm an asexual homo-romantic and so is she. She lives 35 minutes away, goes to college in the same area and we have so much in common. I find that I start to think about her every day now. My mind keeps playing over her pictures and things she's into on the online dating sites in my head. Which we are on 3 of them together.
She is a romantic and so am I. I fantasize about holding her hand, kissing each other and spending the day together just being ourselves. Laughing over silly stuff and going on double dates. I think about showing her off to my best friend (because my bestie is so important I want to share something like this with her.)
I dream about us cuddling in bed at night to a good movie, talking about everything and nothing. Guess I am scared because this really happened fast and I think it was too fast. I barley know her. We' been talking since November but not long enough for me to ask her out.
I just know that I have all these exciting feelings pinned up and I am trying really hard to wait for the right time to ask her after we've gotten to know each other better. And I've never asked anyone out and never been in a position where I could be rejected. So I'm trying my best to stay positive and if she says no then oh well and if she says yes then yay me!
So many things going on right now. 2013 is definitely my year!

At FDIC 2009, Chief Bobby Halton talks to fire law experts Chip Comstock, Curt Varone, Brad Pinsky, and John Murphy.
This is probably a lot of it -- hearings FDIC 2009. And I'm here with for a fire injuries. Most favorite people for most prolific writers and probably for the smartest guys that right for us -- fortunately I have to sit on this -- because they're all lawyers. And I don't -- -- -- off my wallet could just disappear. -- Let me introduce some very quickly occur around -- Comstock John Murphy and -- Penske -- -- about all four of these gentlemen is. Not only that it lawyers that -- -- and sensitive by firefighters person and -- -- seconds partners. Current particulars recently gone -- VA. So now we have a lawyer was a former fire chief in that in the NFPA so we've really started to integrate ourselves into these organizations and the activities. We really need to be in and it can't thank you guys -- stockman today. -- all that right fire service court force for. The last five years and now we're gonna do fire service court on the radio on foreign here in dot com radio -- -- I know and most of -- -- opinion down -- weekly or biweekly but that's a good place for questions of firefighters have. You guys are gonna take seriously and -- to -- -- maybe talk about some of the stuff that's happening in our service that affects you -- country. Currently you're just talking about that some stuff we do -- Always notice connection close connection between Fido service and law and this a lot of reasons for that but the bottom the salt that the New Haven case -- thought it was a perfect example you have a case involving firefighters. Going to the US Supreme Court. And it's going to set a precedent one way or the other business that the president. For the rest of the country for the foreseeable future on. Affirmative action and -- scrimmage and. Now what. Here's my thought is that it's OK to talk about is certainly -- you guys are trying to control. Would this affect even mean Kazaa. I've got an opinion like everyone else I wrote I wrote a piece month -- -- go about it -- What what I believe is -- -- Plus what we know there's been discrimination and clearly there has been some areas of the country. Towards women or minorities are -- and whites and and -- you know and where you are. Those Pacific -- should help them concentrate on the people who were disenfranchised intentionally. Not the people who were just you know. -- -- -- By -- -- intense. -- target those who -- but I agree that once you're tired it's a level playing. You know when she didn't think that we need to do more proof when we need to do more -- some areas where people -- it's not of the New York City. If your emotions on her figure volley all. Forget about it you know you can -- and -- had a hard. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Wax poetic here it. Michael -- -- -- -- -- kitchen people who eat different food. A decade let's listen to come out and he's just -- -- You're talking about us about it books or humor books that you need to let go that's the past and -- news -- -- those guys -- product and he's. Please tell you -- -- we welcome and I does the Bronx is Irish land right. -- Leo so those boundaries are gone. The interesting thing about -- -- this -- this test the whole issue deals with this promotional test and the community was trying to. Do the right thing they -- we wanna file followed title seven and make sure that we have a requisite number of of minority candidates. And they didn't know what the test results were but they knew that no minorities would be promoted as a result of this test so just refused to certify the -- And so the court system. And -- -- they're try trying to -- -- -- -- need to discriminate against anybody. Because throughout the -- -- everybody without knowing the results although would have some -- impact on -- candidates. The real question is does doing doing that. Violate -- equal protection clause. And the -- appeals in deciding not to really hear the case in the in the total. All the judges McCorkel and he had a seven to six decision split decision. And they said that the minority the six judges -- This is really important issue we need to address us and ultimately the conscience and -- supreme court's gonna have to decide this case. And it's to me it is a fascinating. Decision it's gonna have impact elegant -- -- across all all types of minority happiness. It's this is a little. A lot of ways missiles and we all grow with -- paralyzed government Osama issues and Boston and -- -- Sample of the way to find out more are -- I mean this arson cases that -- set the standard. For search and seizure. And and clearly standards Americans with disabilities cases the connection between the -- service in most instances always fast. Just like to say up front and some of those gentlemen involved and is well one of them one of our present -- this -- -- it's time felons -- beautiful resentment. And it's not an issue of race these guys -- since principal what they consider to be what's fair and what's what's. Mentioning about that that case -- look at it is the came -- and he took it five it was five hearings. About the validity of the house. And and folks from from. National -- and one of the federal -- came in and say hey this is a pretty good test -- -- professional -- testing service to put the -- together. And and they -- really good job and a lot of the from fires first comments in this is a valid test. On -- and it appears from reading -- opinions that there was also testimony against the tests and it was in -- None of the people testify against the test ever wanted us. Never read it he never studied it that's -- -- issues however congress yeah. It's if it's one of those cases I rates -- what are they doing -- wise or even permitting. People with challenged this almost under you know -- really qualified experts have done their homework. That's your light winds will be challenging -- I think courts and and we his lawyers -- people. He could be diligent -- -- at the outset on that cases like this. If you're gonna come in and testify against the fire service or gets things we do we're stand for that -- of the credentials and background and understanding of what we do. And there are as we although there while there are willing to four feet coming -- -- -- one subject that we have people against those people that's one of the these issues in this case that -- Lost friends and from days ago Austin's case Syracuse nor -- from -- decision. Years ago decades ago neatly in standards. -- number of minorities tend to be -- portion community. The minority population community and now we can't we still have those theatres in place but -- well exceeded. That proportion. We're the number of minorities actually exceeds. -- fire department. Proportion and so now -- not minority. Population -- saying wait a minute. We're being discriminated against in this happens here is you -- the issue is settled and all. But bosses certainly still an issue everywhere these proportions were put in place are now we're on -- reverse for women and minority population has exceeded that. So now what is the reverse discrimination I think we've seen it go into a lot more as well also going to -- you know -- And I think with you guys especially -- we've got a curtain on within -- -- excellent. Legal stuff that I want as a -- as conservative as far what standards really matter and you know we always talk about him here's Anderson. How important they are and one of Israelis and remember that we -- -- court considered the standard of care almost -- various medical terms of our first but you guys haven't -- form. In court so -- -- analysts and vicious online for us you talk about. We are absolutely. Do it on several counts on you always worry fires me gets hurt you know seventeenth does that -- which nobody home not. -- cookies on seventeen yet I keep looking for seventeenth and cases an argument yet you vote. Great piece on -- It was it was. I don't. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- my children. Pieces up on my bulletin board that. That means standard. You know can be used it against someone now and and probably -- -- -- -- question that want -- you guys is what the toolbox. -- not a garage at home you know I was potty -- at -- sort of gut feeling that I don't mind outlines and -- or -- or all my tools wrenches are from the auto auto mechanic.

2014 Toyota 4Runner Discounted to Celebrate 30th Anniversary
Wow! A whole article for the 50 or so people who bought a GT 3 in 2014!
A few weeks ago this was discussed at the PCA...
Relocation of the fuel lines may be necessary.
This reminds me of the boy who lived in a small Alpine village deep in a valley. One day, he thought it would be a good idea to light some discarded magnesium afire.
No more village.
Porsche wants the car to "inspect" it even though they don't know exactly what it is that they are looking for?
What "loaner" car will Porsche let the owners drive while their GT3 is in the shop?
I'd demand a 918.......
Oh what am I going to do with the $130,000 burning a hole in my pocket now?
Catching fire.
"Hey, everyone's doing it.."

Just eight months after saying auf Wiedersehen to Seal, Heidi Klum is on to the next.
In an interview with German magazine Bunte, Klum spilled about her relationship with her
beefcake bodyguard of four years, Martin Kirsten, saying "Ja! Ich bin verliebt!", which translates to "Yes! I'm in love!"
She also talked about how he's great with her four young kids, Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou:
"They like him very much. This is also one reason why I'm so fond of him. He's been helping me for four years now. And he takes wonderful care of the kids. He plays with them, he protects them. I trust him."
While there have been more than whispers of Klum and Kirsten getting cozy in the past, the couple have, until now, kept a very low profile — here's why, according to Klum:
"Martin is not hiding. He's just not the sort of guy looking for the spotlight. He prefers to stay in the background. There will always be people who will criticize whoever I live with, what kind of clothes I wear or what hairstyle I have. At the end of the day, you have to do what makes you happy. That's the rule I live by."
And if she's happy, we say more power to her! You do you, Heidi.

"You guys are at different stages in your lives, relationship-wise. Sara broke up with her girlfriend, but Tegan, your girlfriend is L.A.-based photographer Lindsey Byrnes, who took many of the pictures in On, It, At, and who you knew previously.
TEGAN: It took me a long time to convert her to be a lesbian! Four years of charming. It's hard. I don't advise anyone to try. But it was something I needed to have under my belt.
SARA: I've been single for about two and a half years, it's scary."

I'm thinking you were kidding about 'converting' Lindsey to being a lesbian. That would play into every gay-bashing hater's belief that being gay isn't something deeper than a 'choice'. Right-wing religious fanatics would be waving it as 'proof' of a lifestyle choice which could be changed or 'cured'!ReplyDelete
Being gay is a choice to a large extent, just as it is natural to a certain extent. And "converting" a girl to become a lesbian is about as sick as a pedophile grooming a child.ReplyDeleteReplies

I'm ignorant I guess but I need help, I kind of relate to Tegan in this one. I've been sort of chasing a lesbian girl (I'm a straight man btw) with whom I've been inlove for 3 years already, I've resigned already since I think it's impossible to make her fall for me (I didn't knew she was a lesbian until a few months ago) but stories like this one make me feel like I've a chance, or is it just not possible and Lindsey was not completely straight and never got "converted" and did liked girls before? Thanks.ReplyDelete

Only the person who is going through things, truly knows what inspires them to be a certain way. You are not ignorant, first. But generally, chasing someone more than courting them through dates, never works out. If you have to 'convince' someone you're worthy of their attention, it's not a good sign. Focus on finding a girl that is interested in you from the jump.ReplyDelete
Re: being gay and converted. As a religious female, and reading the Bible, God does consider being sexual with someone of the same sex a sin. He also considers getting drunk, gambling, cursing and adultery sin as well. But he also forgives us of our sins, understands our place in life and warns us not to judge others. So that being said, being gay is what is it. You don't have to support it, but God did not put you here to be the judge of what's right and wrong.Replies

Did you know that
colorectal cancer is among the most common types of cancer diagnosed in U.S. adults? Fortunately,
the incidence rate of colorectal cancer has been declining in recent years.
One of the reasons for this could be growing awareness of the importance
of early screening. Since cancer could affect anyone, you might consider
visiting your community hospital to discuss whether colorectal cancer
screening is right for you. Residents of the Las Vegas area can turn to
MountainView Hospital for colorectal cancer screening services and advanced
colorectal cancer treatment options.
Understanding the Progression of Colorectal Cancer
To understand the importance of colorectal cancer screening, it can be
helpful to have a basic understanding of how this type of cancer progresses.
In the video featured here, Dr. Stephanie Wishnev, a colorectal surgeon
at MountainView Hospital, explains the usual progression of the disease.
The healthy cells in the colon and rectum typically divide in a regulated
manner. However, mutations that affect certain genes may trigger the uncontrollable
growth and division of cells. When this occurs in the colon and rectum,
the patient can develop polyps. Polyps are accumulations of cells. Over
a period of years, it is possible for some polyps to become cancerous.
When this occurs, the cancerous cells may eventually invade other areas
of the body.
Identifying the Benefits of Colorectal Cancer Screening
It can take years for a person to develop polyps and then to develop colorectal
cancer. When a patient does develop polyps, a physician can detect and
remove them through colorectal cancer screening, which means the polyps
never have the opportunity to become cancerous. In this manner, colorectal
cancer screening saves lives and can reduce the need for cancer treatments.
If colorectal cancer screening does reveal the presence of cancerous cells,
you could choose to undergo sophisticated robotic surgery, which uses
a minimally invasive approach. MountainView Hospital is pleased to offer
robotic surgery to colorectal cancer patients in the Las Vegas area. Our community hospital
also provides stroke care, emergency care, and bariatric weight loss.

Las Vegas, NV Sept. 24

education in the Las Vegas Valley," said Chris Mowan, MountainView

Medicine GME residency programs takes place over a three year period.
Residency is the final phase of a long educational process, required for
a physician to practice medicine, and is most influential in determining
where a physician eventually practices.
The MountainView Hospital / University of Nevada School of Medicine Internal
Medicine Residency Program is listed with the National Resident Matching
Program and will begin interviewing medical school seniors and first year
residents who have completed one year of residency for positions in the
Internal Medicine Residency Program.
Interviews will begin in late October, with applicants from around the
country. Residents who are accepted into the MountainView Internal Medicine
GME program will begin July 2016. Approximately 20 first year and 20 second
year residents are expected to be selected.
"MountainView Hospital has shown its dedication to the community
by establishing this program," said Internal Medicine Residency
Program Director Dr. Ali Rahimi. "Our vision is to offer an exceptional
training environment that prepares residents to practice quality Internal
Medicine using a high standard of clinical medicine."
Dr. Darren Swenson, Chief Medical Officer and Interim Designated Institutional
Official for the Internal Medicine Residency program said: "This
is a transformational event for MountainView Hospital and the Las Vegas
healthcare community."
The program will help enhance the local supply of physicians serving southern
Nevada and help to improve patient care access for the Las Vegas community.

Heart rhythm disorders are referred to as arrhythmias. If you've
been diagnosed with an arrhythmia at a
heart hospital, it means that your heart is beating irregularly, or too quickly or too
slowly. An arrhythmia isn't always a serious problem. However, some
arrhythmias may cause symptoms or increase the risk of life-threatening
complications. The heart care specialists at MountainView Hospital can
help patients with arrhythmias understand their condition and explore
their treatment options. You can also watch this video, which features
a cardiologist from MountainView Hospital. In the video, Dr. Mock explains
which type of arrhythmia can be particularly dangerous.
Premature Beats
In most cases, this type of arrhythmia is harmless. Many people do not
experience symptoms and require no treatment. However, the symptoms of
premature beats may include a
fluttering sensation in the chest. Premature beats may occur in the upper chambers of the heart, which are
the atria, or the lower chambers, which are the ventricles. They may be
caused by heart disease, stress, caffeine, or nicotine.
Supraventricular Arrhythmias
This type of arrhythmia involves a rapid heart rate, known as tachycardia.
Supraventricular arrhythmias include atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter,
and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Atrial fibrillation is the most commonly
diagnosed type of arrhythmia that requires treatment. If left untreated,
patients may have a higher risk of blood clot formation, stroke, and heart failure.
Ventricular Arrhythmias
As the name implies, ventricular arrhythmias begin in the ventricles. Dr.
Mock explains that this type of arrhythmia can be very dangerous and requires
aggressive, prompt treatment. If a patient with ventricular arrhythmia
develops ventricular fibrillation, it means that the ventricles quiver,
rather than pump. Sudden cardiac arrest can be the result.
At MountainView Hospital, you'll find sophisticated diagnostic procedures and
treatment options for heart health issues. Our heart hospital also provides robotic surgery,
stroke care, bariatric weight loss, and emergency care to residents throughout
the Las Vegas area. If you have general questions about heart health,
you can call (702) 233-5300 to speak with a registered nurse.
If you've been informed that you have abnormal
cholesterol levels, you could consider discussing your treatment options with a heart care
specialist at MountainView Hospital. Our heart hospital in Las Vegas invites
you to view this video, which features one of our cardiologists. Dr. Mock
explains why some patients may need to take medications for high cholesterol,
while for others, lifestyle changes may be sufficient.
Choose Healthy Fats
As Dr. Mock explains, not all fats are bad for your heart. In fact,
replacing unhealthy fats with polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats may help you manage your cholesterol levels.
Some good sources of healthy fats include walnuts, salmon, avocados, and
olives. The fats that aren't good for your heart health are saturated
and trans fats. Saturated fats are primarily found in animal products.
Trans fats are commonly found in baked goods. You can easily identify
trans fats on a food product label by looking for hydrogenated or partially
hydrogenated oils.
Join a Gym
In addition to improving your diet, you might consider joining a gym to
help you maintain a healthy weight and manage your cholesterol levels.
It's a good idea for patients with a medical condition to consult
a doctor before starting or changing their exercise programs. By joining
a gym, you'll likely have access to fitness trainers and fitness
classes, in addition to the workout equipment.
Consider Smoking Cessation
Did you know that smoking isn't only bad for your lungs—it's
also detrimental to your heart health? Individuals who smoke may be more
likely to have cardiovascular problems such as high cholesterol and high
blood pressure. If you do smoke and you're ready to quit, your doctor
can help you.
Manage Your Medications
If your physician does recommend that you use medications in addition to
lifestyle changes, compliance will help you boost your heart health. To
help you remember to take medications on time, consider using a pill organizer
and posting reminder notes in prominent places. Keep track of side effects
that you may experience and discuss them with your doctor.
Are you looking for in-depth, personalized guidance on managing your cholesterol
levels? The heart care professionals at MountainView Hospital are here
to help. Residents in the Las Vegas area can reach our heart hospital
by calling our Consult-A-Nurse line at (702) 233-5300.
Wound healing can be impacted by a number of different factors, including
diabetes and vascular diseases. When a wound doesn't heal on its
own, it's important to seek treatment to avoid serious complications.
In addition to infection, an unhealed wound can lead to disfigurement
and amputation if you don't receive care. Fortunately, there are
many different ways to treat slow-healing wounds. One of the most powerful
options is hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBO therapy. This treatment,
which is provided in hospitals as an outpatient service, boosts the levels
of oxygen in the blood so tissues function more efficiently to promote
the healing process. Find out more about slow wound healing and the available
treatments in this infographic from
MountainView Hospital in Las Vegas.

Posted: June 1, 2013 | Boat Type: Motoryacht
A brand refresh creates a compact, amenities-laden boat complete with a flybridgeAs I stood on the dock, I noticed how the new Carver 34 Fly didn't look at all its size. With a wide bow and a long flybridge, it seemed bigger, somehow more substantial than its length suggested. I didn't know it yet, but I was also about to be surprised by the big impression this boat makes once you're aboard. With loads of amenities and a great layout, this little flybridge uses every inch of available space. The C34 is the first in a new series from Carver. Starting a whole new concept with the smallest boat in the line is always tough, because the designers must be more innovative given the size restrictions. Carver chose a swoopy retro design with round portlights, a sheer line that evokes boats of yesteryear and a broad not-exactly plumb bow — let's say plumb-ish. It's clearly different from other Carvers, which I assume was done on purpose to signal something new in the company's design philosophy.
I tested hull #4 with gas engines and a single helm on the flybridge. It's the standard edition and one that is expected to bring lots of value to boat buyers. Rick Young of Silver Seas Yachts describes the appeal of the new model like this: "It was time for a change, and this design freshens the brand. This model is for a younger boater, one that likes the European interior styling and the retro exterior lines, and for families moving up from express boats."
Young expects the C34 will appeal to two types of buyers: the boater looking for the extra room of a flybridge on a small boat, and the value buyer who up until now may have been considering a boat 5 or 6 years old. "They're surprised that they can get a new boat with so many features for the price of a used one," he said.
On Board
I stepped aboard onto the swim platform, which also provides access to two good-sized storage compartments built into the transom. In the cockpit, there is a U-shaped transom settee that is interrupted only by the gate. A small table is optional.
I continued all the way to the flybridge, which is up a set of seven well-spaced, comfortable and safe steps. Here, there is a U-shaped settee to port and a double sunpad aft. The helm to starboard is well situated with space for multifunction displays, a VHF, an engine display, an autopilot interface and gear shifts. Everything is within reach, and the visibility is excellent all around with the exception of the aft port corner, which is obscured by the sunpad. The single bucket helm seat swivels to face the companion seating, which lacks a table at the moment, but a solution will likely surface soon. Six or more people would be comfortable here for sun-downer cocktails, with a terrific view of the anchorage or marina.
This is a good-sized flybridge on a 34-foot boat. It's high enough to afford good visibility but doesn't feel far removed from the bow, so communication is easy with whoever is picking up a mooring or working with the windlass. The wide bow affords lots of room, and the anchor locker opens to reveal the entire rode, in case there are any snags or problems. To get to the bow, I went up the sidedecks, which are about a foot wide and have good handholds all the way.
The interior is a study in excellent use of space. The salon has a U-shaped dinette to port that is larger and better designed than on some larger yachts. It will easily seat four and has a table big enough for adults to sit and eat a full dinner comfortably, without dueling elbows.
The U-shaped galley to starboard is ergonomic and truly spacious. It includes a sink, a microwave oven, a two-burner cooktop, a refrigerator, lots of countertop space and a flat-screen TV that faces the dinette. This is a well-laid-out galley, and its placement keeps the cook in the social action between the salon and the cockpit, because it's next to the aft door. Speaking of which, the double glass doors are another great feature. They both swing open to create an uninterrupted flow of air, light and traffic between the outside and the inside, which is how people use their backyard and house, so they expect the same ease on a boat.
Three steps lead down to the two-cabin, single-head accommodations. The master stateroom is forward with an island bed that sits well forward, allowing for a voluminous cabin thanks to the broad bow. An opening hatch is overhead, and the round fixed ports bring in light along the hull. The second cabin has twin beds that can be converted into one with an insert. There is standing headroom at the door, and like the master, it has a solid door for privacy. The head, which the two cabins share, is larger than expected on a boat this size. It includes a stylish square sink, good storage, a standard electric toilet and an ample shower stall.
Due to the C34's 13-foot beam and large surrounding windows, the main deck feels open and airy and not at all cramped. Our test boat does not have the optional interior helm, which would cut into both the excellent galley countertop space and the headroom in the second cabin below. I couldn't tell if its addition would make it feel shoehorned into an otherwise pleasant layout.
Under Way
We headed out onto San Diego Bay after exiting a ridiculously tight side-tie between a large boat aft and nothing but dirt ahead. The bow thruster got us out safely, and we pushed out into a 15-knot breeze and flat water.
Our test boat is equipped with the standard MerCruiser 5.7L 300 hp engines with direct coupled V-drives and underwater exhaust. The gas engines are considered to be a value package — Volvo Penta D4 300 hp diesels are also available, though it seems that no C34 has been built with them as of yet.
Joystick control is an option, but pod drives are not. With the joystick, optional bow and stern thrusters are integrated with the engines to provide more maneuverability in tight docking situations, thereby simulating a pod-drive experience. It's a $20,000 option, but one that may build confidence in new skippers.
Our top speed was 32 mph running with the wind, where we burned 47 gph at WOT. When I backed off to 22 mph, the fuel burn came down to 23 gph, or roughly 1 mpg. With 250 gallons of gas in two aluminum tanks, the range should be roughly 200 miles at cruising speed, around 20 mph, plus maneuvering time.
At slower speeds, the boat was very responsive and took the chop well even if it did wallow a bit in long rollers. At higher speeds, the steering became heavy, like on a car with no power assist. Of course, top speed is meant for running straight, so it's doubtful anyone will be out there whipping up wakes and scaring the sea lions like I was.
The C34 has a base price of $325,000, and our test boat is around $440,000. Young hints that boat-show pricing could cut the price by a quarter. The functional upgrades include a genset, thrusters, a Bimini top and more. For anyone looking to step up to a flybridge model from perhaps an express boat, the C34 Fly is a tremendous value and one that you can still park in a 35-foot slip, which on the West Coast is even more valuable.
The C34 Fly is the first in a new line that is expected to launch 40- and 45-footers in the near future. It will then be the smallest of the new designs but in no way diminished. The space and amenities this intriguing little flybridge model offers make it a great value in a compact and stylish package that looks so much larger that you may want to tell everyone (except the marina owner) that it's a 40.

The game plan for the Lions shouldn't be much different than the one against the Bears last weekend. Detroit did a much better job of establishing the run -- 27 attempts for 134 yards (5.0 average) -- to take some pressure off third-string quarterback Drew Stanton.
Where the Lions struggled again is targeting Calvin Johnson in the passing game. He was thrown to just five times and finished with three catches for 66 yards, including a jaw-dropping 46-yard catch and run for a touchdown in the final moments of the first half. Even if he's triple covered, the Lions must get the ball into his hands more.
The Lions are in the top half of the league in total offense and passing yardage, but the Packers are more productive in every one of those categories, including their 23rd-ranked rushing offense. Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers is completing 65.4 percent of his passes and is No. 4 in the league in passer rating. His favorite deep threat, Greg Jennings of Kalamazoo, is second in the NFC with 11 touchdown receptions, one behind Johnson.
Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew has set the single-season franchise record with 60 catches at his position, but he also might have the record for most drops in a season. It's up to the Lions' pass rush to take advantage of a soft Packers offensive line. If that happens, it could be another close call like the first meeting of the season in Green Bay.
Edge: Packers
Third-year end Cliff Avril continues to blossom. He had a career-high three sacks against the Bears and has a single-season high of seven this year. He had a big performance despite the absence of veteran end Kyle Vanden Bosch (neck) last week. The pressure he and his teammates up front provide is the biggest key to their chances against the Packers.
If the Detroit pass rush can't disrupt Rodgers, who is 5-0 against the Lions in his career, it could be a rout. Green Bay is No. 1 in the NFL in fewest points allowed (15.2 per game) and is 10th in total defense. The Packers bring a lot of pressure in a 4-4-3 scheme with superstar outside linebacker Clay Matthews (11.5 sacks) and former Central Michigan University standout Cullen Jenkins (7.0).
As good as the Lions' pass rush has been, the Packers' is better. It's no bargain against the Green Bay secondary, either. The Packers, who've picked off 16 passes, are led by future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson at cornerback and perennial Pro Bowler Nick Collins at safety.
Edge: Packers
Stefan Logan continues to stamp his ticket for a Pro Bowl appearance. The Lions continue to lead the NFL in kickoff returns (28.2) and rank fifth in punt returns (12.4). Dave Rayner has done a fine job replacing Jason Hanson, who'll miss the remainder of the season.
His 50-yard field goal last week made him the first Lions placekicker other than Eddie Murray (1980-91) or Hanson (1992-present) to hit a 50-yarder since Errol Mann in 1973. The Lions still need to be careful with Packers punt returner Tramon Williams.
Edge: Lions
The Packers remain in the hunt for the NFC North title under Mike McCarthy in a fight to the finish against the Chicago Bears. The Lions are attempting to snap a five-game losing streak while securing their fifth win in the second season with Jim Schwartz at the helm.
Edge: Packers
The Lions are in the midst of a five-game losing streak. The Lions have dropped 10 ina row against the Packers. The Lions have dropped 19 consecutive NFC North Division matchups. The Lions are going up against the NFL's stingiest defense with a third-string quarterback. Lots of bad karma here.
Edge: Packers
Packers 27, Lions 17
