The Texas 260 (Shooting Steel At A Mile)
On Tuesday we grabbed the OBRs in the morning and then traded them out for our personal guns for the afternoon Wind Course. (See photo 3). Its called the Wind Course for obvious reasons, and your score doesnt count unless the winds are at least 15 mph sustained. Our scores counted since we had a max wind reading of 37 mph. Your score is determined by getting 2 points for a first round hit on a target and 1 point for a second round hit. There are 15 targets (we only saw 13) located around the top 360 degrees of the hill. Max score is 30. The course record was set by Scott last year and stands at 17. I tied Mr. Beaufort with a whopping 6. I got a point on the 318 meter target, one at 467, one at 632, two at 530 and one at 450. The targets placed at 650 to 800 meters were completely safe. Scared maybe from close misses but safe. I wore some very fashionable goggles that kept my eyes from tearing up and getting sandblasted. I carried my gear in an Eberlestock Gunslinger pack (GS05ME) that has a rifle pocket big enough to carry the OBR or my Tak-MAK. It also carried my water, trail mix, rangefinder, Kestrel, notebook, sandbag, goggles and first aid kit. Theres room for more than that but I was trying not to weigh myself down with a hundred pounds of lightweight gear. We left our shooting mats (5 lbs) behind for the same reason, not to mention that the steely eyed death merchants we were with didnt carry pads so we didnt want our lacy undies to show. Fortunately, the occasional hit waaay out there took our minds off the rocks we were laying on.
Wednesday was the day we went for The Mile Shot. We started out at some closer range targets before working up to 1609 meters (one mile). We shot at 340, 660, 688, 760 and 794 meters. Then at 1000 meters I held 9 mils and held 3.4 mils into the wind. At 1070 meters we found a 12 inch plate painted black. I hit it with a hold of 10 mils and 2.7 mils into the wind. At 1270 meters I held 14 mils elevation and 4 mils into the wind. Finally it was time to shoot into a different time zone/zip code. I lazed the target twice and got 1610 and 1611 meters. Mr. Beaufort went first, with his 338, shooting 250 grain BTHPs. His elevation ended up being 18.5 mils. By contrast, we asked the OBR shooters what they were holding and they were at 34 mils. After he whacked the steel (12 inch circle over a 16 inch square) a few times, it was my turn with the 260. I came up 13 mils on the elevation dial (I only had 14 mils left on the dial) and then held 8 more mils on the reticle. No joy no puff of dirt could be seen. Hold 9 mils and let fly. No joy. Hold 10 mils and let fly. Yeah a puff of dirt marked the impact. From there I was able to adjust for the wind and start hitting on and around the steel. In total, I hit the steel three times with the 260 (witnessed). I connected with holds from 23 to 24 mils and 2 to 4 mils into the wind. The parallax at the bottom of the field of view in the scope was running from the top to the bottom of the target. That plus the changeable wind, plus my belly shooting (dis)abilities, plus the elevation variations due to muzzle velocity variations (about 23? worth of vertical between 2771 and 2789 fps) and Im amazed that I ever hit anything at that distance. After hitting the target with the 260 I gave the 338 a try. On the tenth shot I rang the steel with one of the 250 grainers. I got back to the hotel and wrote in my notebook, Good day in Canadian. The wind was 16 mph, which sure beats 37. No grit in my teeth today. I hit the mile target three times with the 260 and once with the 338. I had beef quesadillas and bread pudding for supper and a lady (Dianne) left cookies for us at the hotel. Pretty friendly locals. Thanks, Dianne.
The ballistic solver that I used was the Kestrel 4500 NV Horus. It combines wind speed, pressure, temperature, etc. with a PDA. You can call up a range card that calculates holds for elevation and windage in 10 yard or greater increments. Its a really sturdy unit that put up with all the blowing dirt and kept ticking. The battery life is also very good. With the environment turned on, the unit constantly updates the meteorological data and changes the range card to account for the changes. You can enter and save a bunch of guns in memory and then pick the one youre using. I entered 260 Rem, 2775 fps, .60 BC (G1), 140 grain, .264 diameter, 100 meter zero, 2.91? sight height and right hand 1:8 twist barrel. You may have noticed that I said the effective BC was .64 earlier in the article, which is true, but I had to lower it to .60 to agree with the come ups out to a mile. Apparently the transition to subsonic flight made the difference. Or something(?). Hey, if I had all the answers, Id write a book.
Barrel #3 accuracy results: Getting back to work after I returned from Texas, I installed barrel #3 and shot about one hundred rounds through it averaging .80 MOA for its three shot groups. The 130 Norma shot a .55? three shot group at .020? off the lands. A follow on five shot group measured .65?. The meplat on that bullet sure is small. The best group with this barrel, a .24?, was with the 142 SMK over 38 grains of Varget, at 2638 fps.
Barrel #4 accuracy results: I fired 120 rounds with an average three shot group size of .81 MOA for all the groups. My best groups include the 140 Berger VLD at .37?, the 140 A-MAX at .35?, the 142 SMK at .29? and the 123 Scenar at .20?.
Barrel #5 accuracy results: Up until this barrel I felt that the performance of the barrels was pretty similar, running .7 to .8 MOA, and I wasnt expecting #5 to be much different. Then I started shooting this barrel. The second outing I put up a sheet of paper with eight orange dots to record my eight three shot groups. I loaded 39.5 grains of Viht N150 under various seating depths of 139 grain Scenars, 140 grain A-MAX bullets and 142 grain SMKs. I averaged .44? for the eight groups. The best group was .20? with the A-MAX bullets. These were the old style, pre AMP bullets. For the next days outing I loaded five rounds of this same load plus some other new loads. Scott hadnt shot a 260 so he volunteered to do the shooting. I showed him the .20? group and told him that all I needed was nothing less than his absolute best shooting. I was watching through the big Unertl spotting scope as he punched out a .34? five shot group. Yep, thatll work. I think Ill hold onto this barrel.
The 140 grain A-MAX is a target bullet, but that didnt stop me from thumping a block of 10% ballistic gelatin with it at an impact velocity of 2751 fps. The bullet penetrated 13 inches, expanded to .66? and weighed 63 grains. The bullet expansion started immediately no neck length. I also shot a few other bullets into the ballistic gelatin with the photo and penetration results shown below.

Culligan Aqua-Cleer replacement filters - DIY?
I have a Culligan Aqua-Cleer ROI drinking water system and am having trouble finding any information on whether or not I can replace the filters myself. I'm thinking there is is little information because it's something that must be done by Culligan, but I'm hoping not. Does anyone have this unit and service it themselves?
The filters look exactly like this:
The filters I have are:
SEDIMENT: model SED10
CARBON BLOCK: model CB
REVERSE OSMOSIS: model RO30
TOTAL DEFENSE: model TD
For what it's worth, the manual states:
"It is recommended that you do the following annually:
1. Sanitize the System
2. Replace:
Sediment Filter
Activated Carbon Filter
Polishing Filter
Any Advanced Filtration Cartridge
3. Check:
RO Membrane
Flow control assembly
TDS Reduction Performance
Flow Rates (including air gap)
Drain tubing for back-up
The activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and polishing filter cartridges must be conditioned as follows prior to installation into the Aqua-Cleer system. Your Culligan man will do these important procedures at the time of purchase.
Activated Carbon Cartridge - 10 minute flush to remove carbon dust
RO Membrane - Minimum 24 hour flush to remove preservative solution
Polishing Filter - 10 minute flush to remove carbon dust
Perform the following steps in the order shown to sanitize
your system
It is recommended to have your local Culligan dealer perform the sanitization process. Your local Culligan man has been specifically trained to test the water quality and efficiency of the system in order to determine when the RO membrane should be replaced and ensure the system is working properly."
Thanks in advance!
bump...hoping someone from the morning crew might have this unit.
I have the same system and came across your message while I was doing a search for the replacement filters. It is near impossible to find anything about this system online.
I did replace them myself once already, however I had to call the local distributor who installed the system and order the filters from them. At least I didn't have to pay for a service call. I am still hoping to find another source for the replacements this time, but I am starting to think I will have to call the distributor again.
this statement concerned me: "The activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and polishing filter cartridges must be conditioned as follows prior to installation into the Aqua-Cleer system. Your Culligan man will do these important procedures at the time of purchase."
Yes, they just "unscrew" a quarter of a turn and then the new ones pop in and tighten. I seem to remember having a similar concern but being told not to worry about and just run the tap a little before using the water.
That's all conditioning is, I'd remove the airiator on the faucet, then run the water.
There's always going to be some loose charcoal knocked loose in shipment that needs to be flushed out.
? Why in the world would you need that complicated water system. Is your water that bad?
without the system, everything the water touches turns orange.

Phones, social networking — aren't these all about communication and staying connected to people?
It's easy to get lost in a game or become an app-addicted workaholic, but sometimes you need to be a social butterfly!
These apps? All social, all the time.
Foursquare — Best City Guide
Checking in doesn't mean much if you're off the grid 24-7. Let your friends know where you're hanging out (and while you're at it, collect some badges together!)
Not only is this app social, you can't use it unless you're within bumping-distance from your pals!
Right now? Facebook pretty much defines social. Connecting with old and new friends, checking up on pals, and announcing one's thoughts, social calendar, and/or most intimate feelings to the world? Facebook is the app for that.
Plume for Twitter
No man is an island…especially if he has a Twitter account, Touiteur is a fabulous Twitter app for those non-island types.
Longcat is long…but he could always have some room for growth! Every additional phone that you bump with adds a little (or long) something , and which mysteriously attracts household pets.

The Battle Spot & The Wedding
There is a battle coming up in Goblins. An important one. For years, my notes have described the scenery of this battle as follows…
"…in a clearing… [edit] …young trees, mostly pine and maple. Light, thorny underbrush."
That's it. Boring. I really like introducing interesting landscapes for battles to take place in. An upside-down forest room, a stone bridge at a dungeon crawl entrance, a carefully balanced platform hanging from giant chains, in the cleavage of a 900 foot woman (okay, that one never happened). So when I stumbled upon an absolutely beautiful spot tucked deep in the woods near my house, I instantly knew that it would be the location of the battle. Now when I say "location of the battle", I mean that I'll be drawing it into the comic, not that it'll actually be a real spot where fighting will… you know what, if you're confused about that point, I'm just going to leave you to it.
Here's the video of Danielle and I (and our dog, Ember) walking to the battle spot. It's mostly just us walking through the forest. Also, it's really shaky camera work. However, it is a unique opportunity to see a real life version of a place where a webcomic battle will happen. To my knowledge, a comic book landscape has never been introduced this way before.
Also, Danielle made a webpage for our wedding. If you want to pop in and sign the guestbook, I know it'll make her squee. Thanks so much to those of you who have already commented in it!
And if you're not following me on Twitter, please do so. It's a great way to support the comic!
Also, I'm drawing live on cam right now.
As always, thanks for reading.

Impeccably-made and beautiful earrings and lovely packaging too
Being Creative is Just My Thing
Lingua Nigra started before I knew it started. I've always been creative, working with my hands and making clothing or jewelry.
I've always been an entrepenuer, selling mood rings to my 5th grade classmates with a small markup or selling my first pair of earrings to my teachers in 6th grade.
I went to a bunch of art schools, most notably SAIC ( the School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and graduating with degrees in Fashion Design and Jewelry Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. I initially went to F.I.T. for Fashion Design, but really felt like jewelry was my calling. I wanted to create body jewelry for myself. That was my only thought!
After stints on 47th street working as a bench jeweler, I was pretty sure that helping out smaller designers was where I wanted to be. I apprenticed for a designer for 1.5 years, helping her start her business, while in turn finding my own personal style in my jewelry. In school you're so bogged down with projects you don't have time to really have a style yet, that is if you don't have two jobs like I did!
After work I would solder together coins I collected from my travels as a tween to Spain and Brussels. I then created my first pair of earrings, which I still wear to this day. I eventually sold a few here and there, getting into a few local Brooklyn stores. I then started with my brass jewelry. After a few tries and big orders I decided to plate my jewelry so it could be more cohesive, because not everyone likes lopsided earrings! At least if they are gold, someone will buy them!!
In 2007 I joined Etsy, found the EtsyNY team and it kind of snowballed from there. I found a great group of people, most of who I call good friends. I did craft shows and met people who had stores that I would eventually be in. The jewelry world is hard, as there are so many talented people selling their stuff!
I don't do shows that often anymore, but love to still create my metal jewelry, dedicating one day a week to concentrating on new designs, orders and trend research. During the week I freelance as a...you guessed it - jewelry designer! I work on the computer to created fun costume jewelry for the masses.
I'm pretty lucky to have gone to school with no actual game plan for a career at the end and end up, ten years later still in the jewelry industry, still living in New York, as a jewelry designer with her own small line to boot.

Denver, Co. - October 20, 2014 - The extremely popular Denver Restaurant Week (DRW), presented by Lexus and organized by VISIT DENVER, will revert to a single 10-day long event in 2015, running from Friday, February 20 to Sunday, March 1, 2015.
"We talked to restaurant owners, restaurant employees, diners, sponsors and restaurant week fans, and the consensus was that seven days of DRW was too short, but 14 consecutive days was too long," said Justin Bresler, vice president of marketing for VISIT DENVER. "The perfect 'best of both worlds' compromise appears to be to run it for 10 days, encompassing two complete weekends in the traditional slow period of February," he said.
For Denver Restaurant Week's 10th anniversary in 2014, at the request of participating restaurants, DRW was split into two separate week-long events, one in February and one in late August. "While summer restaurant week was popular with both restaurants and diners, the challenge going forward was to find a week that wasn't already occupied by an existing event, holiday or a week that didn't have a major convention," Bresler said.
Late summer and fall are Denver's busiest convention months. "We really don't want to bring 10,000 convention delegates to Denver and have them find that every restaurant is booked with DRW reservations," Bresler said, adding that the restaurants also don't want to be offering special DRW pricing at a time when there are thousands of hungry convention delegates in town.
"In the end, we couldn't find workable dates for the summer event, and the consensus of opinion was to concentrate on the traditional February time frame," Bresler said.
More than 300 restaurants participated in the 2014 winter DRW and more than 200 in the summer DRW, making this one of the largest culinary celebrations in the nation.
Bresler stated that registration for restaurants for the 2015 DRW will begin on Monday, November 10 at DenverRestaurantWeek.com. Participating restaurants will once again offer a multi-course dinner for the fixed price of $30 per person that was introduced in 2014. The list of participating restaurants and menus will be announced in mid-January.
Denver Restaurant Week will be presented by Lexus. Other proud sponsors include Columbia Winery, Edna Valley Vineyard, Mirassou Winery, Louis M. Martini Winery, William Hill Estate Winery, US Foods, Open Table, Frontier Airlines, Johnson & Wales, zTrip, Colorado Proud, Open Table, the Colorado Restaurant Association and the Downtown Denver Partnership Business Improvement District.

Which Manual Should I get?
Hey Guys.
I just got my very first BMW and its a 2004 330XI.
I plan to be a do it yourself BMW owner for most repair jobs, can you recommend any repair manuals to me? I am a decent wrench turner, but so far have only worked on american made trucks, not german supercars :D.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
This one looks like it might be a good choice, but it also says z4 and Im worried it wont include anything about the AWD system.
this one also looks decent, but with this one my fear is that it doesnt teach you how to actually repair stuff, just how to diagnose so you can tell your mechanic whats wrong._a_
Get the Bentley, not the Haynes. I have access to a Bentley but never use it. The xi specific info is rather incomplete or just wrong in a lot of places.
I bought the Bentley for $89.99 on bavauto.com. Waste of money in my opinion. you can find what you need on the internet or this site really, no need for the book for XI specifically. It isn't helping me with my transfer case bushing replacement, it isn't helping me with some A/C hoses I need to replace. It didn't help me with my cooant system refresh. I didn't have it when I did my vanos seal refresh, and didn't need it, nor now having it looking at it would it have helped me do that job.
THe book is neat in that you can find little tidbits of info here and there, not worth the price IMHO.
Every page of my Bentley has grease on it...I'm often using it to give guys torque values for things...even though I don't believe in torque...that's just for girls.
But, that said, I have learned almost all I've needed from this place alone over the last few years...almost. The wiring diagrams in Bentley are helpful, and so are lots of the instructions for getting to things.
I use a combo of Bentley and TIS data. TIS is a "dealer" computer based reference listing procedures and how-to instructions including diagrams. The CD is available through several sources including Ebay. Beware of legal issues with free downloading. The Haynes are usually wrong about so many things when you need help. But for basic stuff they may work. I got my used Bentley for $25 shipped from a member here who sold his car. Well worth that price, the thing is like a phonebook in size. I've used it to look up plenty of stuff so yeah, I'd say it's worthy.
Bentley, done deal.
must peeps around here use bentley.
I just follow whatever knowledge they may bestow upon me haha

The Tahoe 360 Crew Plan
The Tahoe 360
A 68 Mile Journey Around the Perimeter of Lake Tahoe
Jamie Patrick Crew Out-line• Tahoe City • August 31st - September 1st, 2012
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.-Osho
Wow - We are finally here. It is less than a two weeks before our swim around Lake Tahoe. I first want to thank all of you for being there for me. It truly means the world to me. Without all of you this would not be possible. Doing something of this magnitude takes an army of people and I feel very lucky to have such amazing support.
Many of you have been on these adventures with me before. From The Tahoe Double to Swimming California to The Triple Ironman. They all have been extremely hard mentally and physically. This swim surpasses all those. Two years ago during my Tahoe swim I experienced the most difficult time in my athletic career. You ask then why go back and why go further? Why put yourself in this place again? The answer is simple. I want to go beyond what I have done before and do it better. I believe it is possible. I want to show myself and the world that you can truly accomplish anything.
Please understand that that I do this for many more reason than just to get to the destination. This swim is not about records or becoming the first. The only records will be ones I set for myself. I use these swims to become a better person. Each stroke changes me. I chose Lake Tahoe because of its magic. Lake Tahoe has been a place that I call home. I grew up going to the Lake. I have lived there and I have spent more hours in this body of water than any other. I have a strong relationship with her. She has protected me and shown me the way many times. The Lake will once again will be the place of self discovery. I am nervous, excited and ultimately ready. I am excited to share this journey with all of you.
It is important to me that you experience this swim as an adventure and not a competition. The goal is to get me to the other end and have a great time along the way. This will take a combination of fun, pain, happiness, sadness. All this will make up the adventure. There will be hurdles to overcome both in and out of the water. The goal is solve the puzzle piece by piece. Some of the puzzle pieces may not be in the box when it is opened, so we may have to make some of the pieces ourselves. I do these things not only to get to the other side, but for the experience along the way. This is what I want you do as well. Experience the day, the night and ultimately we will accomplish this adventure. Have fun.....When you are having fun, I will be having fun.
After much thought, consideration and discussion I have decided to once again wear a wetsuit for this swim. Please understand that this is not a marathon swim and I want the world to understand this. We have an opportunity to explain this and to teach people the difference. I also want to make it very clear why I do the things I do. I am not out to set out records of any kind except for those personally. I am happy to tell my story, but my story needs to be loud and very clear. This is important to me. I want people to see it for what it is. An adventure that allows me to grow mentally, physically and spiritually. I want to experience this amazing journey with all of you. I want to watch the sunset and the sunrise with you. I want to celebrate all the way. I want to pull energy from each and every one of you. I want to swim side by side you. I want to laugh and cry along the way.
I have a few goals for the journey. The first and foremost is to grow as a person. I want to go place I have never gone both mentally and physically. Please understand that. I talk a lot along the way. I will tell you how I am feeling (good or bad). I sometimes want companionship, but at times I want to be alone. I ask you to allow me to experience going into very painful places. This is why I do this. Garrett, Phil, Jen S. and Brian will have the final say in pulling me. I have taken out a number of elements in this swim. I will not be cold because of the use of the wetsuit. I will float better on my feeds because of the wetsuit. The wetsuit allows me to go places that honestly I could not without it. Please share this with those that are following. Make it clear that I am using this aid to go places that I have never been.
This will not only be extremely hard on me, but it will be hard on you as well. Listen to Garrett as he has been there - both the good and bad. If you have a question or not sure about something just ask. Together we will swim around Lake Tahoe. I mean that... Together... Enjoy it, embrace it and realize that every stroke will makes this journey. I love you all... Thank you.
The basic plan for the Tahoe 360 is simple. I plan to swim from the Commons Beach in Tahoe City as the start and finish. I have developed a route that we will follow. In a nut shell I will swim close shore around the lake but following straight lines. See chart attached. We will start this adventure at 6am on Friday August 31st. I plan to finish approximately 40 hours later. This puts us into a second night. Something that I have never done before. The total distance will be 68 statute miles. This journey will be my greatest of all time and I am extremely excited to share it with all of you. We have developed a crew outline for assignments. This is just that an outline. It is not set in stone, but more of a guide. We will present this on Thursday night before the swim.
Tahoe is truly one of the most magical and spiritual places on the planet. Last month I spent almost 80 hours on the lake piloting other swimmers as well as swimming. This Lake pulls me towards her in a way that I can not describe. She has a plan for me on this swim. It scares and excites me to find out what that is. I hope you connect with this incredible Lake as I have. Together we will share in the journey.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live." Leo Buscaglia
The Swim
As stated before the swim will start and finish at the Commons Beach in Tahoe City, just behind the Fire Station. This is a major change to the plan. After last weekends training swim, I have decided to make this change for two reasons. The first is the fact that the north side of the Lake will take the hardest pounding by wind in the late afternoon. I do not want to be potentially exposed to the toughest part 35 hours into the swim. By starting in Tahoe City I should have flat water through the north end. The second is that coming up the west side towards Tahoe City is incredible beautiful. To finish here will be amazing.
The approximate distance of this swim is 68 miles. I will have a GPS Navigation system with way points set. This is the path that the pilot boat will travel. We will have two kayaks in the water at all times. One will act as the lead (especially at night). The other will be right next to me. The lead kayak can return to the boat for supplies while the other stays with me.
I would like to stay within 100 meters of shore at all times. Night time will be a challenge, but fun. Because the shore line is not straight I have chosen a path that follows it fairly close. We will not go into every nook and cranny on the shore line. We have developed a path that we believe is safe and navigable.
The key for this swim is to be patient. I must live in the moment and rely on maintaining this. I must go slow, but keep my stroke together. Too slow I will develop shoulder pain too early. There is only so many hours I can push through with bad shoulders. Too fast I will blow. It is a fine line. Please watch me and help me keep a consistent stroke. This stroke count should be around 56. I have a longer DPS than most and my turnover rate is a bit slower.
I will feed every 20 minutes. This is the same as my other swims. However, I have changed a few things. I have extended these feeding to allow by body to lower my HR and begin digestion vertical in the water. I have bumped up my caloric intake from 300 to 425 an hour. This has really helped. Nutrition plan attached. Because I feed every 20 minutes my overall per mile pace will be slower because of the extra feed. Last weekend I did a non stop 2 hour swim and covered 8 kilometers. My goal is to tap this way down. I do not want to go more than 2.3 miles in the first hour with stops. This is important because I will be excited with all the energy.
If you would like to swim with me, please understand that you must swim at my pace. If you are ahead of me, it stresses me out. If you can not keep up I can not change my stroke for fear of injury. I would love to swim with everyone, but please understand that I may not be in a good place and just being with me is comforting. The goal in any ultra event is to understand that you will go through bad times, but knowing that you WILL pop out the other side. When I feel good, I want to make it last as long as possible. I have gone through this many, many times and the key to making it last as long as possible is do exactly what you are doing and not changing anything. It is not a time to pick up your stroke and go faster. Ultimately this will make the bad times last longer. Please watch me.. You will know when I feel good. I am using a flag that is spring loaded that my daughter made. When you are in the kayak please pop it up every 10 minutes. This is a reminder for me to check in with myself. I have been working very hard on the mental side of this swim and this is a tool for me to do this.
I have a pattern in my long swims. I go through a bad stress at around two hours in. I do not know why, it just happens. Generally I throw up and gag a bit. It does not last long, so do not be alarmed. This happens again around 7-9 hours and then again when I begin to feel that I have so much farther to go. Just get me back to the moment. I do feel better after.
This journey is not just one that brings me around the Lake, it is one that goes on in my head. I will travel to some amazing and dark places. Places I have been before and places I could not have imagined going. Communicate this to the people watching. It is an amazing experience. I want to share this with you and others.
Because this is not a Marathon swim, those rules do not apply. However I am including MY rules for this swim and I would like all of us to follow them. This is important to me.
1. I shall start outside the water and enter on my own.
2. I shall not touch or grab onto and support boat at anytime during the swim. (if the boat accidently bumps me that is ok)
3. No high fiving...If you are in the water with me, please do not touch me. An air high five is just as good.
4. I shall exit the water where I started with NO assistance from anyone. This means that I must clear the water line on my own power. Please do not let any people on the beach help me or hug me until I have cleared the water.
On Thursday night before the swim, we will present the crew plan. Again, this is a guide and not set in stone. If you want to switch with someone that is ok. In addition, we have a condo on the water in South Lake. This will be a place for you to get off the boat and rest. The condo is a place to sleep and relax, not a place to hangout and be loud. Others will be trying to sleep so we must respect this.. Besides the condo, we will have some sleeping bags to crash on the roof deck of the boat. It truly is important for you to get rest. Bring a book to read. The roof deck is an amazing place to hang out. Take a nap. It will get hard... Trust me...
When you are not piloting or kayaking I ask each of you to make a post to the portal. It is best to do this after you have kayaked. A short post on what went on during your time with me in the water. Further down in this document there is instructions on how to make a post. It is easy. Everyone will help with nutrition. At each kayak exchange we want to make sure fresh nutrition is put on the kayak to avoid any issues especially at night. Hand held radios will be provided and will be used to communicate with the support boat.
Please understand the boat will be crowded so only crew should be on the boat. The approved list is above. If others want to come out including media then they can with my dad. His number is 415-867-3304. We just do not have enough room to accommodate any more.
The timeline has changed many times over the last two weeks due to a variety of things. As of today we believe that we have a solid plan of attack and I am very excited about this plan. Please read this closely and if you have any questions please let me know. Some of this may be repeated through this document.
Thursday August 30th, 2012
Please plan to be at my cabin before 5pm on Thursday August 30th. You may come up in the days before if you like. I will be up in Tahoe on Tuesday. We will provide dinner around 6pm. If you cannot be there by 5pm please let me or Garrett know. We will have a crew meeting at 7pm to review all the last minute details including nutrition, navigation, and safety.
The Address to my cabin in Truckee is
11644 White Fir Trail
Truckee, Ca
Thursday evening the boat company will be leaving our support boat on the beach at Ski Beach which is next to the Hyatt in Incline. Garrett and perhaps one more will go retrieve it from Incline and pilot it over to Tahoe City for the start. This will allow us to start early Friday Morning. Karen Rogers will be providing extra room for people to sleep her home. After the meeting some will head to Karen's to spend the night.
Friday August 19th, 2011
We will leave Truckee at 4am to head towards the Lake. The start is 20 minutes from my cabin. This will give us time to drive to Tahoe City and set up the boat
I would like to get on the lake at sunrise as this is the most incredible time out on the lake. We will push for a 6am start. This swim will take me around 40 hours to complete and we should finish sometime around 9pm Saturday night.
I have included a link to the Navigation page for you to review. Below is a basic outline for timing and estimated location on the lake.
More details at the meeting.
We will have two boats for this swim. One will be the main support boat and the other will be a fast boat based on the south shore. The fast boat will be used to run people in an out as well as bring meals out to the crew. The fast boat will be also used for outside filming and media. Please contact my dad - Jamie Patrick to work out a plan for filming. He will be based on the southshore
The great thing about this boat is that it has a roof deck that supports 600 pounds. I will bring some beach chairs to hang out. At night the roof deck will act as the sleeping area. Everyone will be sharing three sleeping bags as we do not have enough room for everyone to bring one. This boat is extremely easy to drive. When engaged into gear it is a perfect speed to pace a swimmer.
Please bring only one backpack as we will be cramped as it is. There is plenty of storage so keeping organize will make a much more enjoyable adventure. I will have additional fuel on board. I will be providing a safety catch which will prevent any fuel from entering the Lake. The last thing I want to do is spill fuel into this great lake.
The Tahoe 360
Safety is our number one priority. Because this swim is going to be done close to shore and during a busy holiday weekend we all must be extremely careful. Boat traffic will become an issue during the day time, therefore we must take extra precautions to avoid any problems. We will fly a swimmer flag at all times and will have two additional ones to wave when boats approach. We will have two kayaks in the water at all times. There will be a lead kayak that will guide. The other kayak will stay to my left. Both Kayaks will be pre strung with chem lights for night time swimming. The support boat will stay offshore a bit. Because people will be getting in and out of the support boat (swimming or kayaking) please make sure that the engine is in neutral. When approaching the boat please confirm with the pilot that the engine is out of gear. During the day time, you can check the prop underwater as you approach as well.
There are four locations on the Lake that can be used for (LFE) Life Flight Emergencies. They are Sand Harbor, Camp Richardson, Homewood and Rubicon Bay. If the emergency is life threatening and we are near one of these areas that is where we go. In the event we are not near one of these areas please contact 911 with GPS coordinates. Coast Guard will send help out to the lake. I have included a list of all (ECN) Emergency Contact Numbers on the Contacts Page
Below you will find a list of the gear that will be provided in the event of an emergency.
Emergency Radio
Tourniquet - In the event someone gets injured on the boat prop.
Full first aid kit
Epi Pen - for lake jellies (hehe) JK
Emergency beacon
Exit point map = provided in this document
Emergency contacts for all counties
40 glow sticks to used on kayaks and support boat
Navigation system
The Tahoe 360
We will be doing something a bit different this year. Rather than bring all the food on board at the beginning, we will have food delivered to to the support boat for all meals. This will include lunch and dinner on Friday and breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday. All meals will be prepared by local restaurants and will be run out by our fast boat.
At the start of the swim I will have a cooler full of food and snacks that can be eaten at any time. As I am trying to be very conscious of our footprint I ask all of you to being your our plastic plate water bottle and utensils. We will avoid waste.
On a side note, again, as I am trying to keep this Lake as pristine as possible if you drop something overboard, please let whoever is at the helm to go back and get it. I will have a fishing net to make it easy to scoop trash.
If you have any special food requirements please let me or Garrett know and we will do our best to accommodate.
" It's not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It's because we dare not venture that they are difficult." Seneca
The Tahoe 360
I am a believer in celebrating along the way. Below you will find a number of milestones that I would like to celebrate as we swim around the Lake.
12 hours completed
24 hours completed
25 hrs 26 minutes - my longest wetsuit assisted flat water swim
31 hrs 32 min - my longest wetsuit assisted swim
Every stroke after that
Sunset #2

The Tahoe 360
I am honored to have partnered with one of the greatest environmental organizations on the planet - The Sierra Club. I have begun to raise money for their Water Sentinel Program. I hope to drive a tone of traffic to my LIVE portal and stimulate them to donate. This is important to me. Water has given me so much in life - I want to give back.
The swim will be covered by Good Day Sacramento and Outside TV. This is exciting as it will help drive traffic. In addition, there will be a film crew there to make a documentary on the swim. They all will have access to the fast boat that my dad will be running. Occasionally they may want get on the support boat to film and to interview. If you have a problem with being on camera please let me know. The support boat is full so we cannot have them on for too long. If you have a GoPro or other camera could you please bring it and film when you can so that we can use it in the documentary.
Media will be limited to manly my dads fast boat and a friends power boat but will not be on the water 100% of the time. His phone number is 415-837-3304.
Metabender has created a portal that followers can log into to follow our progress. We have set it up so that we can make updates directly from your smart phone. You can take short video clip, photos and text updates. It is simple! If you want to send a text update all you have to do is send an email with your update to firstname.lastname@example.com. Make sure you remove your signature line before sending it. Send it just like you would any other email from your phone. It is the same with video and photos except the email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. Enter these emails address into your address book before the swim. The more content we send the better. Debbie will be doing a larger update once an hour. The portal is www.jamiepatrick.com.
With that being said, please be aware of what you are sending to the portal. Tell about the adventure and what is going on, but please do not embellish anything or state something that you are not sure. The use of the words record, first, ect should only be used when telling about me personally. I am not setting any records or becoming first other than my personally accomplishments.
Just remember that once it is out there. It is permanent!
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.

The Tahoe 360
Nutrition is the biggest part of the swim for me. I must stick to my plan and follow it religiously. From the first feeding to the last. Sticking to it gives the swim a larger possibility of success. I will rely on you as the crew to monitor this closely.
The idea is for the kayaker to relay what I have eaten on each feeding to the pilot boat for someone to record. If I get off track, you will need to let me know so that we can correct it. Communication will be done via radio. More to come.

Night before the race: PRELOAD with 1 tablespoon baking soda +2 Tablespoons sodium citrate (willspowder.com) per 20oz. – you can add some crystal light or other flavoring here. Drink 20-32oz. Other options are to use The Right Stuff, or add 2-3 teaspoons baking soda to Infinit or SecretDrinkMix.
Morning of: usual breakfast. Then while you are organizing transition aspects, drink another PRELOAD (per above) that is icy cold (want to hyper-hydrate and drop your core temperature).
PRE SWIM: within 30 min of swim start, you want to "top up" breakfast with ~100-160 mixed macronutrient calories. This can be ½ bar, ½ sandwich, a banana with a few nuts

The Tahoe 360
I would like to be very clear when it comes to wildlife. I really do not need to say this but I will anyway....In the event we experience any wildlife in the Lake or on land we treat it will respect. Lake Tahoe is fragile and it is important to tread lightly.
Because the Lake is going to take care of me, I would like to take care of her. I would like to make a statement by collecting as much trash out of the Lake as possible. I will have a bunch of industrial garbage backs. I ask you to pick up anything you see. I will have a fishing net to scope any trash we see out of the Lake. Lets take care of the river so it will take care of us.
Final Thought
Peace will be found on the lake. Together we will embrace the hard times and celebrate the good time. I will pull from your energy and hope I will provide you some as well. This will be hard, but that is why I do it. I feel very blessed to just be able to start this swim and we your help I can finish it. I love you all. Thank you for sharing this with me.

PNCR needs healing – Basil Williams
PNCR Chairman Basil Williams says the party needs "healing" following the events that marred its 18th Biennial Congress on Sunday and he is suggesting that a committee might have to be set up to oversee the process.
Williams, who was returned as Chairman after going unchallenged during the latest Congress, was at the time speaking on the way forward for the party, which has been accused by its groups in Linden of high-handedness, disenfranchisement and intimidation in the run up to and during the Congress.
He explained that the PNCR's Central Executive Committee (CEC) is yet to meet to discuss anything officially but he added that he hopes such a meeting will be held before the week is through.
Other returning CEC members include David Granger, who remains the party leader after lone challenger Aubrey Norton opted to pull out of the race over concerns about the accreditation process; George Norton and Volda Lawrence, who were returned as vice-chairpersons, having also too gone unchallenged; and Ronald Bulkan was returned as party Treasurer after beating out his only challenger, Clement Corlette.
The names of the other CEC members were not available when Stabroek News contacted the party yesterday. A party representative said the Returning Officer Michael Somersall is still working, while at least two other groups, including the Guyana Youth and Stu-dents Movement (GYSM) and the Guyana's Women's Congress (GWC) will have their congresses in the coming weeks, after which their representatives to the CEC will be known.
In the meantime, Williams noted comments by Sharma Solomon, one of the leaders from Linden, about the need for healing and he voiced similar sentiments.
During a press conference on Monday, Solomon, who has strongly criticised the management committee which oversaw accreditation for the Congress, and the way the party has dealt with a dispute which involves fellow Lindener Vanessa Kissoon and PNCR General Secretary Oscar Clarke, noted the need for reconciliation.
"The developments that occurred at the party's Congress are now part of the past which we must now put into perspective, review and work diligently to prevent in the future," he said.
"…We are faced with the task of moving forward, mending our rifts, of correcting our weaknesses and building on our strengths to face the national challenges that go over and beyond the challenges we face internally," he added.
The days leading into last weekend's congress were marked by strife.
First, a group from Linden led by Region 10 Councillor Leslie Gonsalves told reporters that Kissoon was being dealt with unjustly. Kissoon was thus advised not to appear before a disciplinary committee put together to hear the facts of her altercation with Clarke and make recommendations.
Solomon also raised concerns over the accreditation process, arguing that those responsible for accreditation were refusing to accredit several persons from the region.
On the morning of the elections, Solomon and Clarke continued to resolve accreditation for Linden-based delegates. As the voting process was underway, Norton emerged from Congress Place along with Kissoon and Solomon and told reporters that he had pulled out of the race because the accreditation process, and therefore the voting process, was flawed. Solomon, who was also nominated to challenge Granger for the party's leadership, told reporters on Monday that he withdrew from the race since last Thursday owing to similar concerns. He also said that he believed there were intentional efforts to disenfranchise delegates from Linden.
Statements made by Solomon and Norton on Sunday seemed to hint that a deep rift has developed between the PNCR and some of its Linden groups. Solomon's comments on Monday therefore surprised many, even his supporters.
Williams nevertheless said there is a need to accommodate all who have been affected over the last few days and he suggested that a committee may have to be set up to oversee the process.
Granger also told reporters on Sunday that he and other executive members remain open to dialogue with any and all who feel aggrieved. Solomon has expressed an interest engaging in such dialogue with the party's heads.
Stabroek News was also informed that efforts may be underway to repair the party's seemingly damaged relationship with Norton.

Just a shame that he has to be relying so much on so called 'rent drivers' rather than having a top driver in a car which should be winning races like McLaren, RBR, Ferrari etc. Goes without saying best wishes to Williams for 2013 though sadly I cant see any miracles happening. 2 agree 0 disagree

Finding parts supplier
I have searched all over this site. I am either not good at searching, or there aren't any classic parts suppliers.
Who do you use for the older parts?
I have a 1970 Coupe Deville and have found Rock Auto but they are limited on their selection.
I am looking for a rear flip down license plate bracket and some little things light interior light lenses etc..
Anyone have a reliable source for the older stuff?
I also tried Ebay with no luck.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Finding parts supplier
Ebay is usually pretty good. Caddydaddy, OPGI, and there's a ton of smaller ops w/ original stuff. I'm sure the guys on here can give you a list of places.

Re: Finding parts supplier
here are some links:
Then you have the specialties: Air conditioning parts, brake parts, engines, carburetors, fuel/brake/trans lines, interior parts etc.
Not sure who would have a pull down gas door/license holder, that would most likely be a used part, not reproduced. I've gotten lenses off eBay.
What else are you looking for, we can steer you in the right direction.
Re: Finding parts supplier
Thank you. That list will keep me busy for a while...
The car is pretty complete but there are things I want to replace to clean it up a bit. Interior light lenses, carpet, the clips for the trim on the rear window. I have the trim but
no clips. And I have to figure out how the trim on the inside of the rear window mounts. One thing after another... That's the fun though.
The license plate was being held up with a bungicord.. So that is where I ran into the problem. Found one in Fresno and the yard wanted $100.00 bucks and he said it was
pretty rusty but might clean up! LOL
I must be getting old. I remember when you could to a Checker Auto and buy one! One more yard to check with.
I will look at the list you sent chrisntam thank you again.
Thank you tooth99 ebay is always a option as well.

Re: Finding parts supplier
Here's a place for clips & fasteners. Don't know if its the least expensive or not, you may also want to look on ebay.
I don't know what type of fastener it takes, but the ones on my old '70 Camaro looked like those. Hopefully, you need 50. You will also find some eBay sellers want stupid prices for their items, those I generally pass on unless I have to have it and there are no others available.
I've bought carpet from these folks: http://www.stockinteriors.com/
I got the ultra plush pile with mass backing. They send samples to you at no cost, though they are 1" squares.
Re: Finding parts supplier
Thanks Chris, I have been looking at the sites. There are a lot of parts I can replace with the sites you sent.
I also located a flip plate bracket about 20 minutes from my house and the guy sold it to me for 40.00. Can't beat that.
I really appreciate the help.

What makes the ELR a Cadillac
I really wish Cadillac would do more and release more info on what makes the ELR not simply a Chevy Volt in Cadillac clothing . They need to push the differences between the Volt and the ELR more so that the general public doesn't simply just see this car as a Volt that has 2 doors instead of four like the Volt .

Re: What makes the ELR a Cadillac
I just saw the prototype ELR at a preview in Atlanta yesterday. Just one look tells you it's a Cadillac, and then you open the door and see a level of interior finish at or above Platinum level. There are numerous technical refinements and innovations on tap as well. I can't tell how well it drives yet, but the Volt drove quite well and was pretty refined to start with. The body and interior is definitely Cadillac all the way. Hopefully, the drive will be equally impressive.

Re: What makes the ELR a Cadillac
Fit, finish, interior design and hand crafted appointments, gobs of standard features and several Cadillac exclusives.. What more would it take to prove that this is no Volt?
Re: What makes the ELR a Cadillac
I don't even think they're the same car, if you read gm press on it they refer to volt tech, so the running gear and technology is shared as for the rest of the car, my guess is its pretty much a Cadillac, i will see it at a private viewing Saturday night, i'll ask and give my impressions after that

Vote and comment. Note that "free immigration" allows for screening for criminal associations, infectious disease, etc. It does not allow for arbitrary quotas, as exist under the present system.Last Post By: RestorationOfLiberty 06-22-2017, 01:17 AM

Physics Environment
Physics Sprite
The Physics Sprite class is the link between the Physics Environment and the Game Logic: being a subclass of Sprite and containing a physics Body, it combines the functionality of both.
Basically it will update the position and rotation properties on both objects. So when for example the body receives a force, the sprite will move as well. On the other side when the Sprite position is changed also the Body's.
Also it participates in the physics collision detection being passed as argument in the World's On Collide method and received as parameter in the method's block.
For more information, see: Sprite documentation page.
For more information, see: Body documentation page.
For more information, see: World documentation page.
Watch out!
Running actions on the Physics Sprite is supported but experimental.
Creates a new instance of the PhysicsSprite:
physics_sprite = PhysicsSprite.new file_name: 'space_ship.png', body: physics_body
More intel!
The Physics Sprite supports all the possible initializations of the Sprite class and adds 'body:' as an additional option for passing the physics Body.
Level Up!
It supports the custom options documented in the Sprite New method, which are very useful at collision detection time.
For more information, see: Sprite documentation page.
Gets or Sets the PhysicsSprite's body:
physics_sprite.body = body
# The following is true
physics_sprite.body == body

I am not sure what a cricket ball looks like, but I would be careful with any toy that is not made for a dog to play with.

My New STI
Hi Guys,
I've been lurking here since before I decided to buy my STI. I bought it about a month ago and it was finally nice enough to detail it so I thought it would be a good time to post some pics.
This is Rory.
This is Rory with her older Sister Lorelai.
Welcome! Nice cars.
