Elk Sliders
I got a new macro lens for my camera the other day. Waiting for FedEx to show up at my front door with my little package was like a child waiting for Santa Claus to come down the chimney on Christmas. I treated myself to the lens after finishing in second place in our football pool at work. My $40 entrance fee netted me about $220 dollars after about 17 weeks of football. Not only did I have a great time watching football, I ended up with a really cool lens that will keep me happy for many years to come.
After some research, I ended up with a f3.5 macro lens for my Olympus E420 DSLR camera. Wow! The clarity is unfreakingbelievable. I remembered that I saw an ant on my counter the other day and I knew what I had to do… I put a drop of honey on a plate and I waited an hour or so. The ant appeared. Within minutes, he had his face planted in the side of the tiny drop of honey.
Crazy huh? I can barely see this little guy with my reading glasses on! I even got a shot of him licking his little feet. Amazing. I can only imagine all the fun I am going to have using this lens.
Well, back to food… I decided to make some Elk Sliders for Bruce and I for a easy dinner today. I enjoy preparing meals using elk meat and living in Southern Oregon, finding exotic meats such as elk, venison and buffalo is really not that hard to find. Either you have a friend that is a hunter or you simply visit a store that carries these types of meat. Elk meat is similar to beef and is lower in fat in comparison. Not to mention, it tastes great too.
My easy to prepare Elk Sliders are made with ground elk meat mixed with low sodium soy sauce and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, garnished with green leaf lettuce, and a tasty relish made from tomatoes, red onions, and parsley on a buttered grilled bun. Serve the sliders with french fries, chips or a couple slices of your favorite pickles. Makes 6 sliders. Enjoy! Tessa
- 1 pound ground elk meat (you can substitute good quality beef)
- 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
- 1 Tbs low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 6 mini hamburger buns or rolls
- softened butter for the buns
- 1/3 cup chopped tomato
- 1/8 cup chopped red onion
- 2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
- pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
- 6 small lettuce leaves
Begin by lightly mixing the elk meat, 1/4 cup Gorgonzola, low sodium soy sauce and pepper in a medium sized mixing bowl. Form into 6 small patties. Refrigerate for at least an hour before cooking. Fire up your barbecue or indoor grill pan. Place patties on medium high heat and cook approximately 3-4 minutes each side or until desired doneness. Meanwhile, butter the rolls and grill until golden. In a small bowl mix together the tomato, onion, parsley and pinch of salt. Before removing the burgers from the grill toss on the remaining Gorgonzola cheese and let melt. Place patties on buns and garnish with lettuce and the tomato onion mixture. Serve.

All began their lacrosse careers with the Braves, a Bellmore Police Athletic League team, in grade school, and started playing travel lacrosse over the summer before ninth grade. All but one joined the varsity squad at Kennedy in 10th grade. Lampert, who had focused on soccer before 11th grade, started playing varsity lacrosse in his junior year.
The majority of the seven, Papach said, "showed an interest in wanting to be recruited student-athletes." That meant attending college showcases up and down the East Coast over the summer after 10th grade, hoping to attract the attention of college coaches. And the pressure was on. One missed ball, one botched scoring attempt during an exhibition game and a coach might have looked to another player.
In the end, though, all found coaches who wanted them.
Nick DiGangi
Age: 17
Hometown: Merrick
Sports: lacrosse, football
Will attend: C.W. Post at Long Island University, Brookville.
DiGangi said he had planned to attend college out of state, but, encouraged by his family to stay close to home, he decided on C.W. Post, which had long been on his radar, even before he was offered a place on its lacrosse team.
"I like to be on campus. But I love the fact I can come home whenever to do laundry," he said with a laugh.
DiGangi plans to major in computers and business, in the hope of one day interning and possibly working for Apple.
Ralph Faiella
Age: 17
Hometown: Bellmore
Sports: lacrosse, football, basketball
Will attend: Adelphi University, Garden City.
Faiella said he enjoyed playing lacrosse through 10th grade. Mostly, though, he loved being with his friends. Then, in 11th grade, he had an epiphany. Maybe, he thought, he could play college ball.
"I started taking lacrosse more seriously," he said. "It just kind of grew on me."
Faiella had a big game against Long Beach. An Adelphi coach was in the crowd, and called Papach to inquire about Faiella. The rest is history. Faiella plans to major in business.

Four-Star Landmark Hotel in Downtown Dallas
In 1912, brewing tycoon Adolphus Busch spared no expense when creating the baroque-style Adolphus Hotel as a love letter to Dallas. The city's tallest building at the time, it attracted notable guests, including Babe Ruth and Queen Elizabeth II, with its opulent decor and high-quality service. Today, The Adolphus Hotel is as celebrated as it was when it first opened—it was named one of America's Best City Hotels by Travel + Leisure in 2011. The hotel still has its Old-World glamour, too, visible in the lobby's vaulted skylight, Flemish tapestries, and 1893 Steinway grand piano that once belonged to the Guggenheim family.
Bedecked with vintage furniture, deluxe rooms are as refined as The Adolphus Hotel's public areas. Ten-foot ceilings and 500 square feet of floor space give each room an airy quality. The executive suites have even more space. Feel free to relax in a suite's stately sitting room and channel surf on the flat-screen TV.
Of the three onsite restaurants, the AAA Five Diamond French Room is the most buzzed about. Frommer's says "dinner here is the closest thing in Dallas to a state dinner at Versailles." Savor classic French cuisine while admiring the frescoed ceilings and gilded sconces. You'll find a more casual dining area at the barbecue-centric Rodeo Bar & Grill or The Bistro, which serves traditional American breakfast fare.
Dallas: Historical Parks and Rejuvenated Urban Districts in North Texas
Though some know Dallas only for the massive AT&T Stadium (which is actually in Arlington), the city is also an enclave of arts and nature, overflowing with botanical gardens, art galleries, and live theater. Historic Main Street connects many of the city's recently rejuvenated urban districts, as well as the popular Main Street Garden, a block-long public park surrounded by architecturally significant buildings. Locals come here to picnic on the expansive lawn or watch a movie under the moonlight in the summer and fall.
A short walk from downtown Dallas, you'll find horse-drawn carriages clopping along brick streets in the city's historic West End district, which dates back to the 19th century. This part of the city also contains Dealey Plaza, where President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963. At The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, housed in the former Texas School Book Depository, you can visit the spot where Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to have shot at Kennedy's presidential motorcade.
Joggers and bikers can zip through the fashionable Turtle Creek neighborhood, located about 4 miles west of downtown, via the Katy Trail, which follows an old interstate railroad. Back near downtown Dallas, the 277-acre Fair Park is the location of North America's largest Ferris wheel and seven museums and four performing-arts centers, many of which are inside art-deco buildings built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition.

VWerks 2011 Jeep Wrangler JK: ReconPosted in Project Vehicles on December 1, 2012
In 2011 Jeep unveiled the Call of Duty: MW3 Special Edition Wrangler. It had the Black Ops styling with dark wheels and clever badging, but lacked one basic item that all battle-ready vehicles need—firepower! OK, so there was no way Jeep was going to have a .50 caliber upgrade box to check under the heated seat option, but one could wish, right? Fortunately, we're not the only ones who sought the vision of a heavy-duty military-grade Wrangler capable of post-apocalyptic terrain conquering and zombie slaying.
Led by former Mopar lead engineer Pat Muldoon, VWerks is a company that specializes in aftermarket parts and complete vehicle transformations. The latest brainchild picks up where the Call of Duty Wrangler left off. Known as the Recon Jeep, the company's over-the-top JK is something right out of the GI Joe toy line. From top to bottom the Recon Jeep blends high-end and heavy-duty equipment with military styling and modern interior comfort. While it may just look like a modified Wrangler with a gun strapped to the roof, it is much more than that. It's a heavily modified Wrangler with a machine gun strapped to the roof!
Resting on 39-inch BFG Krawlers and fitted with a 5.7L Hemi engine, Recon is built around function, not frills. Pat Muldoon was one of the principle developers of the JK-8 conversion when he was with Mopar. With his in-depth knowledge of the conversion and the VWerks crew's skill set, the company has the metal-morphing capabilities to build just about any type of pickup-esque JK. For the company's Recon edition more room was a must, so 10 inches was added to the rear of the JK-8-converted '11 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited platform. This additional stretch provided more room for the .50 caliber rotating mount, which offers the operator full 360-degree mobility. Zombies on your tail? No problem. Zombies on the side? Got it covered. Zombies inside the cab? Well, that could be a problem.
To offer piece of mind under the rig, Recon was fitted with a Dynatrac ProRock 60 front, and an earth-shattering full-float ProRock 80 out back. Surprisingly, the Jeep only weighs in at 5,700 pounds, which in the world of overweight JK's is actually an impressive feat. VWerks also understood that a full-floating, 1-ton axle set under a Jeep with virtually no payload capacity was pretty worthless. To increase utility and occupant protection, the company stiffened the rear floor by adding a 7⁄16-inch steel plate and swapped out the normal 4-inch lift springs with a set capable of holding 2,500 pounds.
If this Jeep is starting to sound like something you would like to own and you have an extra $250,000 sitting around, then you are in luck. Before you get too excited, you should know that unless you are a small country or have a commercial account, you won't be able to order the Recon with the rotary or side gun mount. You can, however, still get your own Recon very well equipped, as the IED load floor is an available option in addition to the rear canvas enclosures. The even better news is that if you happen to survive the end of the world, you can start your own country and make this your official vehicle.

Owner/Hometown: Venchurs Vehicle Systems (VWerks)/ Adrian, MI

The NCUA on Thursday released its May economic update on the agency's official YouTube channel.
In the latest installment of the series, NCUA Chief Economist John Worth provides a brief synopsis of recent economic trends that point to a moderately growing economy.
The unemployment rate reached its lowest monthly level since December 2008, dropping to 7.5% in April.
However, Worth warns that an "improving economy with a falling unemployment rate will raise concerns about when interest rates will start rising. Rising rates could pose challenges to some credit unions."
NCUA produces the monthly video to serve as a resource for credit union board members, loan officers and management.

Trilobite Book Reviews
By Enrico Bonino and Carlo Kier
For many years there has been a pressing need within the fossil community for a "fan friendly" book about trilobites. Oh sure, we've all enjoyed our various Nature Guides and Picture Books which served to first introduce many of us to the wonderful world of paleontology. But when it came to our favorite arthropods, the available literature tended to drift in the direction of desert-dry treatises or doctorate-detailed scientific papers.
By Thomas E. Whiteley, Gerald J. Kloc and Carlton E. Brett
Even for the most fossil-obsessed among us, it seems safe to say that when images of New York come to mind, rarely are those mental pictures of trilobites. If any book has a fighting chance of changing that attitude, however, it's Trilobites of New York: An Illustrated Guide. Throughout this voluminous tome, the book's three authors present the diverse and beautiful trilobite fauna of the Empire State with an unmistakable passion and a welcomed degree of perception. The state's rich paleontological history-- including the likes of Charles Walcott himself- is also featured right along with detailed descriptions of key fossil localities and revealing photos of the unquestioned stars of the "show"… the state's dizzying array of trilobites.
By Ricardo Levi-Setti
By V. Klikushin, A. Evdokimov, A. Pilipyuk
For decades prior to the fall of communism in the late '80s, rumors of stupendous Russian fossil reserves had been reported by paleontologists lucky enough to have visited behind the Iron Curtain. Tightly sequestered rooms in major Soviet museums were practically bursting at the seams with material collected everywhere from the flat tundra of Siberia to the hilly Permian cliffs of Estonia.
By Pete Lawrance and Sinclair Stammers
In recent days it seems there has been a veritable (and welcome) avalanche of new books focused on presenting both the inherent beauty and quirky charms of trilobites. Among the latest is Trilobites of the World: An Atlas of 1000 Photographs, a pleasing and easily digestible display of information and photos that has been carefully assembled by authors Pete Lawrance and Sinclair Stammers. Featuring an impressive array of 1000 photos- which depict over 700 different species in full color- this is a well-designed volume that deftly covers the nearly 300 million year reign of the world's favorite fossilized arthropod.
With Lawrance a leading collector, and Stammers a renowned photographer, the pair make a dynamic duo when it comes to gathering together and presenting specimens from the four corners of the globe. Highlights include beautiful and unusual trilobites from Great Britain (no great surprise considering both of the authors' British roots) as well as recently uncovered material from such paleontological hotbeds as Morocco and Russia. Also featured are eye-catching examples of unusual species from Bolivia, Germany and China. While one could nit-pick and state that the display of North American trilobites featured here is generally less than awe-inspiring, even at its weakest point this "atlas" never fails to be informative and highly entertaining.
The bottom line is that amid the recent flurry of trilo-books, this one will serve as a solid addition to anyone's collection due to both its comprehensive nature and easy-to-handle size. While it may lack the scientific detail found in some volumes, and miss the wow-factor specimens featured in others, Trilobites of the World earns its rightful place among important books for the true trilobite enthusiast.

Sourdough Oat Bread Take 2
Okay, I got rid of the baking soda in the bread. It doesn't taste like baking soda anymore. I added 1/4 cup honey to the bread instead of diastatic malt, added zest of one orange and one more cup of oatmeal substituted for about that much flour.
Results- better but still not a loaf to write home about, rather bland in flavor. My husband says it's not near as flavorful as the 100% whole wheat bread from Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads. Hmmm, what to do next?
A little more salt? I'm using about 2 tsp. for 2 loaves. I'm thinking of uping the whole wheat flour and doing a preferment of wild yeast starter like the WGB bread and putting together an oats soaker as well a la Reinhart. Is it the oats that make the bread so ho-hum?
Or maybe just forget this recipe, because it seems like by the time I've tweaked it there won't be much left of the original. Any ideas for improving the flavor profile of this loaf gratefully accepted.

Peers Cave
This is a pleasant crag for the family. Dogs are allowed in the area as well. The crag generally dries out quickly after rain (one or two full days) and shade can usually be found (except during mid day). If it is not too hot, all day climbing is not a problem here. Most of the +/-40 routes are short but of very good quality, from easy slabs to hard overhangs. It is a great crag for beginners because of the ease of setting up a toprope. Grades vary from really easy to really hard
Getting There
Take the M3 from Cape Town. Drive up Ou Kaapse Weg (M64) and then down in the direction of Noordhoek. Drive past the Noordhoek turnoff, about 150m further where the road bends, you will see a parking area where the path starts. Due to car break-in's it is best to turn left at the Noordhoek turnoff (at the crossroad turn to the left) and park in the parking area.
Classic Routes
- Ward's Walkup 19
- Talking to the Trees 19

Western Cape Crags by Tony Lourens
Many cars have been broken into and stolen!
Victor Peers excavated the cave now known as Peers Cave in 1926. He found nine 12,000-year-old human skeletons. Most of the climbing is around Tunnel Cave; the actual Peers Cave is further towards Fishhoek.

Alicia picks '50s as her pin-up
ALICIA Taylor wishes she was born in the 1950s.
While she may not have been alive during this swinging decade, Alicia, 26, is nevertheless inspired by '50s style.
The inked beauty, who by day is a property manager at Stockdale & Leggo real estate agents in Caloundra, is now in Sydney preparing to compete for the national title for Miss Pinup Australia.
Her pin-up alter-ego, Scarlet Tinkabelle, is the combination of an old nickname for being both short and a dancer and her love of the name Scarlet, which she thought was "a super cute way to embellish on the red splash in (her) hair".
Miss Pinup Australia is all about bringing classic '40s and '50s pin-up photography to life and is a pageant dedicated to finding true beauty, set against a time where it wasn't about how much skin was showing, but rather how you present, poise and hold yourself; in a time when beauty was more than skin deep; in a time of names like Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Gene Kelly.
This competition is Alicia's first for a pin-up title and said she never expected to make it this far through the pageant.
"It is quite surreal to have reached the final," she said.
"The whole experience has been great."
There are 57 people, both male and female, competing for the title which will be judged on four outfits as well as talent.
For Alicia, her talent is tap dancing and she hopes he routine will once again wow judges.
She said dancing had always been such a big part of her life and this experience lets her show off her talent.
The young Coast woman is joined in Sydney by fellow Coastie, make-up artist and hairdresser, Katie from Big Deal, Warana.
She said she couldn't do without her friend and stylist, who has joined her on her vintage adventure.
Scarlet Tinkabelle will compete for the title of Miss Pinup Australia on Sunday night.

The nation's food manufacturers are not in danger of running out of sugar despite their claims to the contrary, the American Sugar Alliance said in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack Monday.
The Alliance said that rather than bring in supplies of raw sugar that were needed by food processors, allowing increased foreign sugar imports would oversupply the U.S. sugar market, harm struggling U.S. sugar producers and be costly to American taxpayers.
"Any action to increase supplies is not only unnecessary but could be costly," Alliance officials wrote Vilsack. "Unnecessary because U.S. supplies are more than adequate; potentially costly to taxpayers because any downward pressure on sugar prices could result in commodity loan forfeitures."
The letter said raw and refined sugar prices have been falling, an indicator of an oversupplied, not undersupplied, market. And, any projections of tightening market conditions more than a year from now are far too preliminary to warrant an impulsive import increase.
Food manufacturers have been lobbying the USDA to allow imports for more than a year. Last September, the companies asked for as much as 1 million tons of additional sugar, according to the Alliance.
USDA denied the request, and the "food manufacturers' dire market forecast proved to be unfounded as sugar surpluses grew and sugar prices fell," the Alliance said. "Meanwhile, major food companies increased profits.
"Had USDA enacted the import increase the food manufacturers sought, our market would have been tragically oversupplied; more sugar farmers would be financially stressed; and loan forfeiture costs would be expected to soar."
Sugar producers thanked USDA officials for their caution in dealing with the sugar market so far and urged government officials to remain cautious in the future, especially with the uncertainty that comes from unlimited quantities of Mexican sugar able to enter the U.S. under NAFTA.
Alliance officials said they would support import increases if an actual shortage occurs. "It is strongly in our interest to see U.S. sugar policy run smoothly and to ensure that all our cane sugar refiners and refined sugar buyers are adequately supplied."

When developing the new Swan 66, thorough investigations were undertaken in order to find the perfect balance between performance and comfort. The Swan 66 is indisputably a true performance cruiser. In the 1973/74 Whitbread Round the World Race, Swan 65 Sayula II left the rest of the fleet in its wake, winning the gruelling yacht race effortlessly. Like Sayula II, the Swan 66 has been designed with performance cruising in mind. The canoe body carries a large volume, which is necessary to ensure a spacious interior for amenities and equipment, and the hull shape was conceived using the latest racing design technology. Several configurations are available for the Swan 66, to tune the yacht to the owner?s requirements, whether these be cruising with the family or pushing her to limits on the racecourse. A product of the renowned yacht designer, Germán Frers, the Swan 66 represents the timeless beauty of an ocean going yacht with some distinct features. The interior has exquisite joinery work in teak, which is complimented by a fresh but subtle styling, allowing for a truly modern, spacious, functional and bright interior. The hull shape is designed as an intelligent balance between speed and space ? the optimal hull for a true performance cruiser. Top sides are composite sandwich construction, with carbon fibre reinforcements for a lighter, stiffer hull in addition to better sound and heat isolation. The underwater hull section is coated in a single skin laminate, which provides optimal impact resistance. The structural design of the hull incorporates important collision safety aspects, with the structural bulkheads made from carbon fibre to ensure weight saving. L-shaped stringers have been utilised to optimise volume under the floorboards, for tanks and other equipment. There is an optional deep keel, offering draft flexibility. The interior design is fresh and stylish, with white surfaces throughout. The hull windows in the saloon create a spacious and bright living area. Carbon fibre sandwich construction makes the deck both strong and light. The carbon fibre mast is designed to save weight and provide increased performance. Swept-back spreaders ensure the yacht is easy to sail with the minimum number of crew members. The carbon Park Avenue boom provides easy stowage for the main sail. Chain plates positioned far outboard coupled with a smaller foresail allow for ease of handling. The Swan 66 is availbale in two version, FD and S.

Their 12-way crossing of Windermere broke the existing record of 118 miles.
And their team effort was done under trying conditions at best – and unbelievably horrific conditions at times.
The team was selected based on their strong fortitude, unselfish teamwork and ability to withstand cold water and cold air temperatures. And they needed every bit of those characteristics and talents. The team set its record of 126 miles while prevailing under very challenging conditions that threw unseasonable cold and strong winds at them throughout their 75 hour 32 minute adventure. For their strength of character and their ambitious world record goal, the Windermere 12-way Crossing is a worthy nominee for the 2011 World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year.

A reader shares his story of researching the best of green cars to replace his Nissan Sentra.
At 210,000 miles, my beloved Nissan Sentra was given a death sentence by a mechanic who found the underbody too rusted to pass the next vehicle inspection. I wasn't surprised. For the past year, the car had grown rusty boils and stains, while pieces had chipped off in my hands like tree bark. Plus, the locks now froze in the snow, the speedometer light bulb had been burned out for months and the headlights looked dim as yellow parchment against the Catskills forest at night.
I'd miss this rugged little car. Bought used, it had served me well for five years of living in a log cabin and enjoying the sort of driving experiences on wilderness roads that many Americans only know from sports utility vehicle commercials.
But nothing lasts forever. I was ready for a new car. I wanted a hybrid.
By combining an electric motor with a gasoline engine, hybrid technology enables cars to get much better gas mileage than the norm. Although every environmentalist likes the idea of better fuel economy, hybrids still are something of a novelty.
In my case, a recent trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge had turned mileage into a personal issue. My girlfriend and I backpacked and rafted for 18 days through the refuge. We saw wolves and grizzlies, musk oxen and caribou migrating by the hundreds. To us, it felt like the last edge of the North American continent that our modern civilization hadn't conquered. On the 19th day, we visited the Prudhoe Bay oil complex, a military-like network of drilling pads, pipelines, gravel roads and processing plants spread across an area the size of Rhode island. If allowed to extend eastward into the refuge, the oil complex threatened to destroy the wild beauty of that landscape.
When we returned home, I began looking for best of green cars, a "greener" replacement for my Sentra. I'd first heard of the hybrid concept in 1996 as a journalist traveling with a solar-electric car rally from New York City to Washington, D.C. The great debate at the rally was whether hybrids would replace electrics as the green vehicle of choice.
The purists still defended electrics, confident they could overcome the problem of having to plug in and recharge their vehicles about every 100 miles. But several veteran advocates persuaded me hybrids would be more practical. Yes, they'd still have polluting tailpipes, but they'd get better mileage than vehicles totally dependent on gasoline and still travel the same distances between fill-ups. Hybrids actually improve upon the performance of straight gasoline vehicles because their electric motors provide more power and acceleration.
When I went shopping for my replacement car, I found two hybrid choices: the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight. (After Nixon wrote this article, Honda released its hybrid Civic model. For more information on current and future hybrids, see "The Scorecard for Green Cars and Trucks," page 46 in this issue. — MOTHER) For professional critics, the choice was clear. National Public Radio's "Car Talk" brothers raved about the Prius on their website: "It's a tree-hugger's dream that anyone could be happy with," they said, unlike the Insight, which "makes too many compromises." Consumer Reports found the Prius "a viable alternative to any small sedan," while the "Insight's ride is stiff, its handling less than nimble, and its cabin very noisy."
Through my e-mail network, I found friends who had owned a Prius for a year. They drove the same mountain roads I did and shared my environmental sentiments. They loved their Prius, and that was a strong endorsement. I accepted their invitation to take the car out for a spin and soon sat in the lap of luxury.
The hybrid moment came at a stop sign when the gas engine turned itself off to save a sip of fuel. The Prius idled as silently as an electric clock. "We haven't stalled," my friend reassured me. "Just press the gas pedal." The engine purred again. From there, he directed me to the bottom of a, steep hill to prove the car was as powerful as any other sedan. He was right: The Prius shot uphill so fast my foot never quite reached the floor.
To be a savvy consumer, however, I decided to drive an Insight for comparison. At the local Honda dealership, I found one in the lot, still half-wrapped from the factory with brown paper covering the hood. Unlike the Prius, which resembled a conventional sedan except for its shortened hood, the Insight looked futuristic: part sports coupe, part hatchback and very aerodynamic. Later, I learned the Insight's front wheels actually are spread 4 inches wider than the rear wheels, which helps air flow around the tapered body. The most striking difference from other cars, though, was that the rear wheels were largely hidden behind metal covers that blended in with the body and prevented wind from catching in the wheel wells. It gave the Insight a diminutive appearance compared to many vehicles that show off their big tires as a sign of ruggedness.
To a sedan owner like myself, the Insight looked small. If this car was basically an aerodynamic cockpit, I couldn't afford it. I needed the storage space and the sturdiness of a conventional car. The hatchback didn't look promising for space, and the metal skirt below the bumpers and doors made the car sit so low that I wondered if it would scrape every rock on dirt roads.
The Honda salesman invited me to crouch down and compare my Sentra's clearance. The Insight wasn't any lower, he explained, it just looked that way because of its aerodynamic body skirt. I had to admit he was right. Buckled in the driver's seat, I didn't find the Insight so small after all. I did sit lower than I sat in my Sentra, but I had more leg room.
During the test drive, I spotted the miles-per-gallon number in liquid crystal green on the instrument display panel. In the past, I'd met mileage nerds who kept a notebook in the glove compartment to record fill-ups and odometer readings in order to calculate mpg for themselves, but this car does the math for you. So far, the Insight had gotten 48.1 mpg from the dealer's lot to the highway entrance ramp. Noticing my fascination, the salesman had me push a button that switched the reading from a digital number to a bar graph that pulsed back and forth, giving the mpg at that moment. Shifting from second to third gear on the entrance ramp, I saw my mpg slip to 30, but after entering traffic and reaching cruising speed, I eased off the gas and saw it shoot to 150 and stay there. I hadn't been so amazed by a machine since the first time I logged onto the Internet.
Back at the Honda lot, I asked the salesman to open the hatchback. I needed to be reminded of why I shouldn't buy this car. It didn't have a trunk. It didn't have a rear seat. It wouldn't be practical for my life in a log cabin in the mountains where the local guys drove pickup trucks.
But the carpeted storage space was roomier than I expected. And the salesman lifted a lid in the floor to reveal a sunken storage box as large as a beach cooler. What did I load in my Nissan Sentra anyway? The truth was, as a bachelor, I'd probably driven 115,000 miles by myself, and another 5,000 with my girlfriend. How many times had I carried a third or fourth passenger? A dozen? Most of the time, my storage space had been dead weight.
I also compared the specs: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rated the Insight at 61 mpg for city driving and 68 mpg for highway driving, while it rated the Prius at 52 mpg urban, 45 mpg highway. (Later, I learned these EPA figures are inflated by some old-fashioned assumptions about our driving habits, such as the idea that we average 48 mph on the highway, which may have been true in the 70s. Today, the average is closer to 60 mph.)
But the critics loved the Prius. My friends loved the Prius. I needed to talk with someone who drove an Insight in the real world. Through my environmental contacts, I finally found someone: A solar entrepreneur who lived a mile up a dirt road in Maine. Over the phone, he didn't sound impressed by my concerns. "I've never put on my chains," he said, apparently insulted I would question the Insight's handling in snow. As for storage, he and his wife easily had stowed their gear in the hatchback for a 10-day vacation that summer. And if I lacked the conviction to choose the Insight, he certainly hoped I wouldn't buy a Prius.
"Why not?" I asked. Who could dislike the Prius? Besides the oil companies?
"It's full of compromises," he said. "It only gets 48 mpg." And he proceeded to explain how this sedan had sacrificed mileage performance for luxury. "Actually," he continued, "I'd get better mileage with a diesel car, such as a Volkswagen Jetta or Golf. Of course, diesels have terrible tailpipe emissions, but I could easily clean up that problem by converting the car to run on biodiesel, thereby cutting my unburned hydrocarbon emissions by 93 percent."
"Where would I find biodiesel?" I asked. "At my website," he answered. Through the wonders of online shopping, I could order 55-gallon drums of biodiesel, which would be delivered by truck to my driveway. I can't say his proposal didn't have some appeal. The promise of greater self-sufficiency often does. I already lived in a log cabin with my own well for drinking water, my own wood stove for heat and my own sewage system. Why not tell the oil sheiks to stuff it?
But the idea of becoming my own filling station had problems. First, I shared the driveway with my neighbor, who'd been so nasty the time he found a cord of firewood dumped for me that I could only imagine his fury at a permanent row of barrels. Second, I was the sort of negligent shopper who routinely let my refrigerator sit empty for a week. With biodiesel, I couldn't very well recover from my absent-mindedness by using a local filling station until my fuel shipment arrived.
So I bought an Insight. And I got lucky by finding a used one, only 10 months old with 14,700 miles, yet $5,000 less than the new model I tested. As an owner, I've learned a few more things about this car. For example, the electric motor isn't really the secret to its high mileage. Rather, the Insight is much more aerodynamic and much lighter than conventional cars because it is constructed with aluminum body parts (a steel framework within protects passengers).
With only three cylinders, the gasoline engine happens to be the smallest you can find in a car, yet it's so efficient that it produces 20 percent more power (for its size) than the engines in most new cars. The hybrid's engine can afford to be this small because the electric motor boosts it through weak spots.
I admit it: I've become a mileage nerd with my own notebook in the glove compartment. After 20,000 miles in this past year, I can report that the Insight's best fill-up came in Tennessee after several long, hot days on the interstate when a tankful finished at 68.3 mpg. Its worst — 54.5 mpg — arrived in November after two weeks of toddling around town in cold weather. Usually, I get from 58 to 63 mpg, depending on the weather and the amount of highway driving.
The only person to complain has been my girlfriend. I've overheard her with friends: "What does he say when he walks in the door? Not, 'Honey, I'm home!' No. He says, '62.3!"' But I know what she really means: "When are you going to lend me the keys?"

Build Your Own Hybrid-Electric Car
Gearheads and grease monkeys rejoice: Dave Arthur's Hybrid-Electric Car Plan, first published by MOTHER more than 20 years ago, is available again!
Twenty years before Honda and Toyota introduced their hybrid-electric cars to the public, MOTHER EARTH NEWS was publishing stories on the need for more fuel-efficient, less polluting vehicles. (You can read those stories at our new online archive at http://www.motherearthnews.com.) One article profiled Dave Arthur, who built his own hybrid-electric car to protest soaring prices at the fuel pumps.
Arthur's plans give details on building a hybrid-electric car using a 1970s-era car or truck. Various mechanical changes, including a chassis upgrade, rewiring and differential modifications, are necessary; advanced mechanical skills are required.
Order Arthur's plan (Item No. 1764) for $25 by using the order form on MOTHER's Bookshelf, page 122 in this issue; or online at http://www.motherearthnews.com.

M&Ms Boo-tterscotch (Target Exclusive)
Five years ago Mars introduced White Chocolate Candy Corn M&Ms for Halloween. It was probably one of their most successful seasonal flavors to date, with my evidence amounting to the fact that it's been five years and they keep returning. Other flavors come and go, but these just keep coming back, like candy corn itself.
This year there's a new Halloween flavor at Target called M&Ms Boo-tterscotch which are rather similar. They're also a white chocolate center, but instead of bland note of candy corn these have a strong flavor of butterscotch. These are a Target exclusive, but like other flavors, if they go well, we might see them released to other stores in future seasons.
While Candy Corn is absolutely a fall flavor, this Boo-ttercotch, aside from the pun, doesn't really have much in common with Halloween.
The pieces come in three creamy butterscotchy colors: an eggshell white, a burnt yellow and a creamy brown.
The smell when opening the bag is overwhelmingly buttery sweet, but not the buttered popcorn smell that I got from the Candy Corn Peeps. It's pleasant and comforting, if you're the type of person who likes butterscotch pudding. I'm one of those people.
The smell is a bit woodsy, a bit like pecan pie but also a little more fake like Brach's Butterscotch Buttons. They're absolutely just flavored, not a sublime scorched sugar flavor like Valrhona created for their dark white chocolate called Blond Dulcey. The authentic toffee notes and deep creaminess of a good Budino are thin here ... but they're M&Ms.
I bought some Candy Corn M&Ms to compare, just to be sure that they weren't the same thing, but after I opened the Boo-tterscotch I realized that really wasn't necessary. The Candy Corn M&Ms are unflavored compared to these.
I liked them, but I'm a white chocolate lover. They're sweet and sticky and fake. They're pretty to look at, a bit expensive (the special flavors are in 8 ounce packages while the regular are mostly 9.9 ounces) and of course in limited supply and sold only at Target.
They're probably good to mix in with other snack items, especially things like salty peanuts, pretzels or popcorn. I could also see them going with regular M&Ms, just as a little bolt of extra sweet.

Hot Tamales Licorice Bites
Hot Tamales are a simple candy, they're just cinnamon flavored jelly beans, in a long rod shape. Cinnamon candies aren't always easy to find, so it's nice that they're pretty cheap, too.
The newest brand extension for Hot Tamales, made by Just Born (the company that also makes Peeps and Mike and Ike) are Hot Tamales Licorice Bites. The concept of cinnamon flavored licorice is not new, Twizzlers has had them on and off over the years, and smaller companies like Kenny's Licorice have also sold cinnamon licorice twists. However, as far as I know, Hot Tamales Licorice Bites are the only cinnamon licorice in stores now.
Since they came out, I've picked up three bags. So, consider this your review spoiler that I like these.
The format is very simple, they're little licorice nibs, like stubby slices of thick licorice twists. There's a little hole in the center.
The texture is very similar to Twizzlers. It's' rubbery and crumbly and not really like anything considered food.
The cinnamon flavor is pleasantly warm with a little sizzle to it at times, like a zap from a static charge. They do tend to stick my teeth ... and the smell of them will contaminate any other food stuffs nearby. But I found them rather addictive. They're not terribly sweet (in fact there's 100 mg of sodium in each serving) and since they're made from wheat flour, they're also a bit more satisfying than straight sugar candy like the regular Hot Tamales.
These are a nice addition to the Hot Tamales line, similarly easy to eat and share. I hope they stick around.

HiCHEW Sours
HiCHEW are strange little candies from Japan made by Morinaga. They're vibrantly flavored chews with a latexy texture.
HiCHEW have become popular around the world since their introduction in 1975, they're produced in several countries, including a new factory in the United States. Morinaga introduced HiCHEW Sours earlier this year. I had a hard time finding them in stores, though plenty of the shops near me carry the regular mixes (tropical, fruits and all strawberry) including Target and 7-11. Eventually I tracked them down in Little Tokyo at a store called Daiso, which is kind of like a dollar store, except most things are a dollar fifty.
Currently HiCHEW Sours come in the format of individually sealed pieces in bags (not wrapped bars). The packages include random ratios of Lemon, Grapefruit and Lime. (I assume they're random because I bought two bags and got far more lime in one bag than another.)
Usually when I get a flavor mix, I find that I don't like a fair fraction of the flavors. There are only three in this mix, but they're all citrus flavors, so that's an exceptionally promising start. It's also refreshing to see the flavor lime being introduced in this day and age when apple is so usually favored.
I'll start with the star: Grapefruit. This citrus flavor is no stranger to Japanese candies, as it appears quite commonly in candies. These are packaged in pink, and like the regular HiCHEW these are two colors. This is inverted though for the sours. The outside is colored and the inside is white. The immediate scent is zesty and the flavor is both tangy and bitter. The texture of the Grapefruit starts our similar to the traditional HiCHEW, rather smooth. But it quickly becomes grainy though still very chewy with a flavor that lasts until it dissolves.
Lemon smells exactly like Country Time Lemonade. It's slightly tinny, quite tart and less zesty than I would prefer.
The Lime is a rather strange green, light and minty looking. The flavor itself is a weird throwback. It tastes like the seventies to me, though I can't put my finger on why. The limeade flavor is similar to the Lemon, but there's more zest to it, though not the same type of bitterness that the Grapefruit had.
I enjoyed all three flavors and really didn't care by the time I got to the second bag what flavor I picked out. They were all tart enough to get my taste buds tingly, but not so acidic to blister my tongue after eating ten or so.
It might be my imagination, but I feel like the chew doesn't last as long for the sours. It could be that the sourness makes more saliva, so they dissolve quicker. But one of the great features of HiCHEW is that it's almost like gum, the bouncy, latexy chew lasts a long time and the flavor never declines. These hold their flavor to the very end, but the texture is just not the same. Not a bad thing, just not the same thing.

Crispy M&Ms S'mores
Since Labor Day is here, it's the last opportunity to review a few summer candies. Mars introduced a new version of their revived Crispy M&Ms with their Crispy M&Ms S'mores.
This version comes, as far as I can tell, only in the larger bags, no single servings. The bag itself is green, just like the regular Crispy M&Ms, though a large part of the front is shaded in a toasty marshmallow brown.
The object of the flavor, as far as I can tell from the illustration, is to add the flavors and maybe textures of S'mores to the M&Ms. The chocolate is already there in a regular M&M,and of course Crispy M&Ms already have a cookie center, so this is all a good start conceptually.
The pieces come in three colors, a nice choice to evoke the marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers that go into a S'more. Upon opening the bag though, I found that they smelled ... a lot. The scent definitely has elements of graham crackers - a sort of maple and fake butter note. Then there's a more buttery toffee note that I think is supposed to be the toasted marshmallow. But it all comes off overwhelmingly like a seasonal Yankee Candle.
The pieces are lumpy and inconsistently formed ... not like the smooth and regular Milk Chocolate M&Ms I've come to rely upon. Even though some are moderately spherical, they are still too lumpy to roll around on a flat surface ... so that's a plus.
The flavor seems much sweeter than the regular Crispy M&Ms, though it could just be that there's far more vanilla flavoring in there, which always makes me think things are sweet. It's a soft sweetness, not too throat searing. The graham flavor is pleasant ... they're not terrible, but I was really turned off my the smell. Once I let the package sit open over a weekend, it wasn't too bad.
The odd thing was that I expected the crispy center to actually have something "graham" to it, but it looks the same and when I pulled some pieces apart, the center really tasted no different from the airy, ricey and slightly malty version in the regular Crispy M&Ms.
S'more are really about a whole immersion into the process of making them and then eating them hot. Reducing them to the neat and tidy candy coated morsels takes most of the risk away (no one gets burned, no one messes up any clothes) and also all the challenge. I have the ability to make S'mores in my home at any time, but I don't, because they're really about the environment that you create them in.
I'll stick to the standard Peanut M&Ms for now ... or Almond M&Ms if I'm lucky enough to find them in stores.

The latest U.S. Census Bureau figures indicate a significant turnaround in the nation's fortunes, with 43.6 million people—about 14.3 percent of the population—who could be characterized as poor last year. In 2008, the year the federal government set the poverty level at $22,025 a year for a family of four, 13.2 percent of the country lived in poverty, just under 40 million people. The increase in 2009 is the second-largest year-to-year uptick since 2004.
"It's clear there is an enormous amount of suffering out there," said Fred Kammer, S.J., the executive director of the Jesuit Social Research Institute at Loyola University in New Orleans and one-time president of Catholic Charities USA. "As always happens, it is the poor who are suffering more in hard times, and that's what we're seeing with these numbers." Demographers report the U.S. working-age population was especially hard hit in 2009. About 12.4 percent of Americans aged 18 to 64 were poor—up from 11.7 percent in 2008 and the biggest annual increase since 1965.
Father Kammer thinks Loyola's neighboring gulf states will be particularly hard hit in 2009. "Our states are always at the bottom of these numbers." Louisiana may be an exception, Kammer added, as its economy remains artificially pumped up by federal aid related to Katrina rebuilding.
The increase in poverty raises questions about the impact of President Obama's much-touted $787 billion economic stimulus package. Republicans are using the new poverty figures to charge that the stimulus did not work and to promote deficit reduction and, simultaneously, more tax cuts as a better strategy for solving the nation's economic woes. But Father Kammer wonders if the 2009 stimulus package just wasn't large enough to move the country clear of its economic malaise. It could be, he said, that the nation would have been in even worse economic condition without it, but "we didn't do enough."
There seems to be little political appetite for more government spending now to address the nation's rising poverty rate or move more citizens off the unemployment rolls. In fact some analysts have begun to talk of long-term structural unemployment as an inevitable fact of U.S. life in the future.
Father Kammer said that while the last election cycle focused on America's declining middle class, poverty and unemployment grew among the poorest. While Catholic Charities USA promotes a campaign to reduce U.S. poverty by 50 percent by 2020, Father Kammer said there appears little public support for such antipoverty crusades. "It's sort of like [Michael] Harrington's 'other America,' that no one sees anymore."
But changing that perspective could be only a matter of altering what the public perceives as an emergency. The billions of dollars quickly appropriated during the Bush administration for the Troubled Asset Relief Program that bailed out Wall Street and the U.S. banking system indicates that federal money can still be made available in a time of crisis. But does the recent acceleration of U.S. poverty and unemployment warrant crisis-level attention? Father Kammer thinks so. "The investment we made in our banking and our financial institutions is the kind of investment we ought to be making in poor America," he said, "and we have not. And we don't seem to have the political will to do so."

Guns rule in America
Date created : Latest update :
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, in which 20 children and six teachers were killed in cold blood, has shaken the United States to the core. The December 14th massacre has reopened the debate on gun control, in a country where owning a weapon is an inalienable right. Supporters of gun ownership now want armed policemen in schools, but our reporters met critics who say the law has to change.

The American Farm Bureau Federation has asked the Agriculture Department to make additional Section 32 purchases of pork to help provide some stability for the sector, as well as supply the healthy protein source to users of the nation's nutrition programs.
"Additional Section 32 purchases would help the pork industry at this critical time," said AFBF President Bob Stallman in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer. "We request that you evaluate such a purchase for the benefits it would provide both producers and consumers."
Section 32 is a permanent appropriation USDA uses to support non-farm program commodities while enhancing nutrition programs. The purchases could help the pork industry during a crucial time, said Stallman.
According to AFBF, prices for live market hogs have plunged to levels not seen in nearly a decade. On April 1, wholesale pork prices hit their lowest level in four years at $54.87 per hundredweight, only to rebound somewhat later in the week. Yet, despite the small increase, producers still face uncertainty and a dismal outlook for their industry, Stallman said.

This works for laptops already, so linux supports it to at least that extent. I >>think<< that special laptop bios calls are involved, and on my laptop at least one has to set up a special disk partition for the memory/state dump. I haven't looked at the kernel source to see whether or not anything like this exists in regular kernels without bios support -- I rather think not (for reasons given below). A good question for the kernel list. Other nonlinear possibilities for accomplishing this might be a variation of "two-kernel monte" from scyld (?) or e.g. vmware. Note that "the entire system state" isn't necessarily something that can be stored or saved -- only the "Markovian" (history independent, instantaneous) component of the state can be saved, unless the kernel itself is VERY state aware and intelligent. Device initialization is typically NON-Markovian. So a snapshot restore will generally not bring a network device or a CD-player or SCSI card or anything else that has been moved out of the default power-on state by means of a handshaking interaction or download of BIOS back into the same state it was in at powerdown time (without a VERY SMART snapshot program and device-state aware kernel). Devices that are indeed in a different state from that presumed by the "saved" kernel image can crash the system almost immediately or cause other, lesser problems. On my laptop I generally don't crash, but if I do a suspend at Duke (attached to one network) and restore at home (attached to a different network with a different, e.g. IP number) the network, at least, is broken (all sockets, NFS mounts, and so forth included) and must be restarted. From the little I've done with e.g. Adaptec SCSI adapters (which generally require this big chunk of very picky code to be downloaded to the adapter at boot time, followed by a very precise set of initialization instructions that match the kernel configuration with regard to e.g. reset delays and tagged queue depth) I'd expect this to be all but impossible on SCSI equipped systems that reset the adapter from the power-on state. IDE and IDE-ATAPI seems to work well enough; they are presumably less state-sensitive, although I'd bet that IDE-ATAPI CDR's (with a scsi interface) get bollixed up. It's usually easier to just write your application(s) to accept a user-defined signal and do a checkpoint/suspend, but in the case of e.g. PVM applications even THAT is not likely to work without a lot of effort because reconstruction and restarting of the running calculation again requires configuring the virtual machine, which is basically non-Markovian (at least with respect to the running program images). A "restart" from saved data is then going to be easier than a "resume" from anything like an actual image. Imagine trying to restart from suspend/crash just one PVM client while the others continued in the calculation (something I've tried to arrange a time or two in the past). It can be done but it is non-trivial. A tough problem. I'm curious to see if any more recent work has been done on it in other answers to your question. rgb -- Robert G.

Beekman Jr. High School is one of several parish schools participating in the upcoming Relay for Life. The team has had several fundraisers including a dance in Feb. and a bracelet sale. Students were given "Can you spare a dollar" donation sheets, where each line was available for purchase. To date, the Beekman team is almost halfway to their goal of $3,000.
Hayley King writes of the event...
"Participating in this event is especially important to me because my aunt, Ruby Jewel, was a victim of this horrible illness. She lost her battle against cancer in early October of last year. I was never extremely close to her, but it is always devastating to lose a member of your family.
By donating, we come one step closet to finding a cure for this disease so that no one else's loved ones are robbed of their lives or health."
To donate to the Beekman team, go to www.relayforlife.org. The team name is Beekman School.

Balancing Studying and Fun: 5 Tips for College StudentsJune 24th, 2011 by megana
A few of the most memorable tips from a college student to a college student
1. Don't Slack
Time management is one of the hardest things to do when transitioning from non-college life to that of a part-time or full-time student. When transitioning into college, there are a million and one more things to do. From going shopping after a class with your roommate to going out on a Tuesday night, the ultimate test to a collegiate is how to manage time correctly. The average student, traditional and non-traditional, has a job outside of their schooling. The lack of balance between work and study has been one of the leading causes of reduction in the college retention rates across the U.S. Make sure to know what exams or projects and assignments with due dates are approaching, so you can schedule in a planner or phone of designated times to buckle down and get it done. Trust me; you'll thank your responsible self when you graduate.
2. Take Notes
Take notes! Take notes! Take notes! Get the idea? With all the extracurricular activities there is do take part in, it's expected that you won't retain everything your 60 year old professor has to say about Accounting 101. But when exam time approaches sooner rather than later, notes either by laptop or notebook will become your best friend. Plus, many professors will test over material from your notes—not just the textbook. This is a good way to show that you're paying attention and stand out to your professors.
3. Office Hours
Take advantage of your professors' office hours. Many professors are required to set a certain amount of time aside for students who may need extra help and/or advice on career development. However, many students do not take advantage of this opportunity. By attending office hours, you are making your face known to your professor, and you might even get some helpful hints on class assignments just for taking the time to ask. Don't forget, he/she may just be a great reference or candidate for a letter of recommendation in the near future.
4. Network
If one thing is remembered from this article. It's all about WHO you know. Some say your connections are almost more important than your resume. In some cases this is true, but do not go and drop out of college—your connections wouldn't like that. Building a network of people to seek life advice from, study with, or to become life-long friends, all of these are intangible benefits of a college career. Calculus derivatives may or may not be remembered in upcoming years, but connections last a lifetime. So get involved. Make friends with at least one or two people in class. Campus will seem much smaller and confidence for tests will be noticed with increased test scores from late night study sessions. Plus, this will help with communication and social skills. That's definitely a go-to skill for employers!
5. 3 Letters—F.U.N.
Forty years from now what are you going to remember about college? "Oh I remember that Accounting 101 exam. It really kicked my butt with debits and credits." Maybe. But you're more likely to remember all the fun times you had with friends when you shouldn't have stayed up so late on a weeknight going to Taco Bell. You're going to remember the semester when you met your best friend in the dorms or nearby apartment or even the small, random events that have shaped you into the well seasoned adult you are today. Memories like these are lessons learned outside of the classroom that will be stories to tell for years to come when someone asks "What tips can you give me before heading off to college?"

Captain's Report
Captain's Report by Capt. John Wenz--
In my other life as a marine surveyor and build captain, I recently completed work on a five-million dollar "gold-plater". As you can probably guess, I've gotten a little spoiled when it comes to quality. When BoatTEST asked me to take a look at Doral's Elite 235 Bowrider, I felt like I might have to re-train my eye. Not so: I was impressed before we even rolled the trailer down the ramp.
Doral International isn't as well-known in the U.S. as it should be. This Canadian builder has focused on boating areas north of the border since they began producing fiberglass boats back in the fifties. If you don't see a lineup of Dorals at your marina, you're not alone. But as I understand it, that may change soon. Doral is currently exporting to about twenty-five countries, so given the quality of the boats these folks are building up in Quebec, the word is getting around.
Beautiful Sisters
Doral's Elite series comprises this 235 and a bigger sister, the 265. Both boats are built in bow rider and cuddy versions. Although smaller, this twenty-three footer is as loaded with features, like an enclosed head and an attractive overhead arch, just like her bigger sister. And she has a great ride. But aside from that, which I'll tell about later, the Elite 235 Bow Rider has some little details and some bigger features worth mentioning.
Here's something unique: The engine hatch lifts so that access is from the stern platform. This may seem a little strange, at first, but it allows you to perform any engine work, for example winterization or an oil change, from outside of the cockpit. Doral has put an ignition key and a trim control on the transom as well, so there's no need for a mechanic to set foot in the cockpit. This goes a long way towards keeping the 235 clean. It also makes maintenance easier at the dock and on the trailer.
Performance and Handling
We performed our test ride on a freshwater lake in central Florida. The 235 Elite Bowrider responds quickly, runs smooth and quiet, and at a cruise speed of 27.4 mph burned 7.5 gph and got 3.65 mpg. As I maneuvered, I liked the accurate and true feel to the helm.
The Volvo 5.7L Gi DP sterndrive makes a nice package which compliments the boat's overall feel of quality. Trim tabs may not be necessary; the boat performs well without using them. But when I put them down for a hole shot test, the bow on the 235 barely lifted. That's a nice little bonus if you're concerned about visibility upon acceleration. We reached a plane in 3.5 seconds, and if we tabbed down all the way, we were on a plane almost instantly. We topped out at 49.2 mph, and cornering at high speed was impressive. Overall, this is a great handling boat and a pleasure to run.
Whether you intend to run this boat on Lake Altoona, Great South Bay, or as a tender to your mega-yacht on the Med, you won't be out of place with the Doral Elite 235 BR. She is not a low-priced boat, which means she's not for everyone, and that's usually the way it is with anything this strikingly good-looking. For those who appreciate owning the very best, and who do not want the same boat as a dozen others in the marina, this boat should be on your short list.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Doral Elite 235 BR (2011-) is 49.2 mph (79.2 kph), burning 22.7 gallons per hour (gph) or 85.92 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Doral Elite 235 BR (2011-) is 27.4 mph (44.1 kph), and the boat gets 3.65 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.55 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 230 miles (370.15 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 300-hp Volvo Penta 5.7 GI DP.

This material supplements the first-time user guide for OMEN Nanowire with details concerning the limitation of the tool at large gate voltage. At large gate voltage, the calculations of the drain current can be incorrect when the Poisson solver in OMEN does not converge. This problem is not specific to OMEN Nanowire but is inherent in simulations of ballistic transport. After running a simulation, users should carefully review output results and examine the output log and input deck to help determine the validity of the results.
