Btw, this was while climbing a hill.
Okay, so....... the shop calls me:
Guy: "The Cadillac is done and ready for pickup."
Me: "What? It's done? You fixed it?" o____O
Guy: "Yep."
Me: "What was wrong?"
Guy said something about there being a leak around the heater hose/heater core, and that coolant was leaking into (somewhere?) and then getting onto the exhaust manifold, which is why it was giving off white smoke. There was a part where the heater hose connects to that was cracked? And they managed to trim off that part and put the hose back on? And that the only other option would be to replace the heater core, but they don't really think it's all that necessary especially considering that's expensive?
Basically it comes down to the fact that coolant wasn't circulating as it should, which was causing the overheating.
I really don't think I caught the explanation right because the heater hose is on the passenger side running from the radiator to the firewall, and the side of the engine that seemed to be emitting the white smoke was on the drivers side near the exhaust manifold.
I'll have to hear it again when I get to the shop.
In the mean time I'm going to read up on the heater core/heater hose part of the system and see if I can make sense of what I remember from the explanation.
They said my head gasket is fine. o_O That's good news.
This is all just a bit weird.
Also, what I need to do is make sure the caddy can climb the hills of HWY 17 so that I can get back to San Jose.... my husband says it SHOULD be able to do a solid 50mph on those hills if it's running properly.
Let me know if you have any particular thoughts about this.
never heard of a leaking heater core causing a car to backfire and/or this "Sadly blew the rockar arm cover gasket i just put in"
It would also have to be a big leak to cause the car to overheat I'd think...even with a plugged up heater core the car usually runs fine.
If the valve cover gasket really blew out because of pressure then you need to check your crankcase vent or pcv valve because it will blow other seals like the front and rear mains and that would be a pain. I'm not sure if Jay made it a sticky but I did a thread on how to replace the heater core, pretty straight forward. I'm noticing that these 4100s aren't as fragile as I've been hearing. Not sure if I've noticed a member here that's had a running 4100 say that it blew on them.
Blah. -__- Need to figure out what caused the valve cover gasket to blow out. Maybe I installed it wrong?
UPDATE: The shop called me again to tell me that the tech actually didn't test drive it, so when they went to move it, they noticed it had so little power, and I was like, "Yeaaaaahhhhhhhh." He asked me if I wanted him to look into it, and I was like, "YES, PLEASE." lol. So it'll be nice to have people with experience actually looking at the issue because I have no idea what causes such loss of power. :/
BTW, given you had overheating+ no power+ blown valve cover gasket....maybe blown HG too? seems something caused quite the pressure build up to blow the valve cover gasket/ lack of cooling. Hows the radiator?
The guys at the shop said they ran a test to be sure I didn't have a blown head gasket (apparently it wasn't a compression test, but a test of the exhaust gases to make sure there wasn't any coolant/oil? Not entirely sure here).
It would be nice if the loss of power is actually the same thing that cause the blown valve cover gasket, because then it would be two birds with one stone. The only question is now, what caused such significant back pressure in the engine to blow the valve cover gasket? I'm not sure, but I'm starting to wonder if my installation job wasn't 100%. I torqued everything down to spec (35 ft-lbs), but there was one valve cover screw that I had trouble tightening. Regardless, there was clearly too much pressure in there, and I'm not sure why. PCV valve is new and the vacuum system is working (as far as I tested it).
If we go back to basics and think of the engine as an air pump, either the PCV system isn't working or it can't keep up with the piston ring blow by. Maybe a clogged exhaust would contribute to even more blow by. A clogged exhaust will also kill your vacuum and power, and the low vacuum will make the trans not shift right. I don't know how complicated the PCV system is on that car being from Cali and all. If it's simply a PCV valve running straight to the intake then there isn't much to fail there. It should have another compression test but my gut tells me the exhaust may be clogged. I hope your shop can get it sorted out quickly.
...'cept the body. ya need the fleetwood manual for that.
I like the idea of clogged exhaust. Also, the last time you reported about the fuel system, you said the injectors weren't spraying as they should. I'd get the exhaust tested somehow and get a fuel pressure reading. I think Al may be on to something with the exhaust. So did the valve cover gasket actually move off the surface or did it just leak a lot? I'd also wonder what the computer is doing to the fuel trim when it thinks timing is at 30 but it's actually at 10. Almost tempted to put it back to 30. You got a lot of things going on here but it's probably not this complicated.
Here, have some pictures while I continue to contemplate my Caddy dilemma. :)
I've done a LOT of reading in this thing.. hours.

My first ever trip to a pick-n-pull.
Attachment 131570
Scored this part -- they gave it to me free. :D ... There were no other girls there. LOL this part was lost in our move from Utah to Cali.
Attachment 131578
I made sure to thank this beautiful car for donating its part to my Caddy. It broke my heart to see the face of a car similar to mine in a place like this.
Attachment 131586
Put everything back together. It's been a long time since I've seen this sight...

I learned how to use a timing gun. :D

Caddy's first day out on the town! ...Well, sort of. We arrived at Larry's Auto Care to get it smogged. :) Unfortunately they don't have a dyno. So we went in search of a place in SJ that did. We didn't make it out of Scotts Valley though. HWY 17's hills are brutal.
Attachment 131610
.... so we had it towed back to Larry's after it overheated.
Attachment 131618
And we arrived. I realized I've seen my caddy on a tow truck more times than on the road. There will a come a day when the Caddy has more drives than tow rides. I promised it to my Caddy.

Unlike other toll roads in the DFW Region, here is how the TEXpress Lanes system will work:
A Tollway Within a Freeway
TEXpress Lanes are unique toll lanes added to existing major roadways. They provide more capacity, reduce congestion and pay for much-needed roadway improvements.
You Choose How to Travel
Drive free on the existing, improved general highway lanes, or pay for faster, no-stop-and-go driving on the TEXpress Lanes.
Easy to Use
TEXpress Lanes provide clearly marked and dedicated entry and exit ramps to increase driver safety. Current prices are displayed before each tolling segment to give drivers enough time to decide whether to use TEXpress Lanes.
Demand-Driven Pricing to Keep Traffic Moving
Pricing is based on real-time technology that monitors traffic levels to ease congestion and keep TEXpress Lanes traffic moving at least 50 mph.
Unlike conventional toll roads with static pricing, toll rates on the TEXpress Lanes will fluctuate depending upon the level of traffic and time of day. This means:
Discounts for Carpools and Motorcyclists
Carpoolers (vehicles with a driver and at least one passenger) and motorcyclists can receive a 50 percent discount during peak travel periods on weekdays.

But I can't say the same about unwired frames.Pins might work with plastic core foundation like duragilt, but they provide very little contact area for wax foundation and 9 times out of 10 break the wax or the bees chew around them. From my experience, they are useless.

A beta version of the project website is located here. Thus far, the project map includes basic info on three low resolution Neolithic samples from southern Sweden, so hopefully we won't have to wait long for the site to be updated. Here's the official project summary:
The Atlas project aims to generate genomic information from all human remains that are older than 5,000 BP (some 100 partial skeletons) and that are excavated within today's Swedish borders. We will also select several hundred skeletal remains to sequence that date from the Bronze Age to the late Iron Age/Early Medieval period. The genetic data will be analyzed using state-of-the-art population genetic and statistical tools. The results will be compiled in this Atlas of ancient Scandinavian human remains. The Atlas will contain curate a wealth of information on the samples, including archaeological-, osteological-, dating-, isotope- and genetic-information, and all the information and data will be publically available. We hope that the Atlas can stimulate multidisciplinary approaches for research about human past and serve as a window to disseminate information to anyone.
It's great to know that all of the raw data will be freely available to the public. By the way, a lot of people, including myself, are eagerly awaiting results from The Rise, another Swedish-based project with a big focus on the genetic prehistory of Northern Europe. I've no idea how things are going with that, but some background info can be found at my other blog:
Hundreds of prehistoric North European skeletons to be genotyped for Y-DNA, mtDNA and autosomal DNA

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|What parts do you have to paint? If its just a door you will have to either know what the color is or do a reading on it to get a paint mix. The only way you can do a match on a hard color like a pearl is to do a test panel sprayout to find your best match. Then to say paint a door you will end up painting the whole side of the car back taping on a body line and reclearing the whole side.
paint ??
i agree with bodyman.. u got PEARL !!!! if u were not handed the left over paint when u bought it, u'r outa luck as far as matching. if ur car has a pretty good value then a whole paint is in order. ya that sucks...
I had my 66 Elky painted 97/8 Corvette Bright Blue.
Got away from all the Marina Blues--Nantucket Blues--and all of the other
blues of the era-----Different, but not too bold.
"So is a pearl white indeed a nightmare to touch up and blend in???"
In a word, YES. Even with the exact mix formula it's still a bear to exactly match even with blending.
Pearl White really that hard to repair??
I have a 67 Chevelle that was painted pearl white by one of the previous owners. It wasn't the most precise paint job out there and it will need to have some body work done and be completely repainted. The pearl in it is either purple or blue...seems more purple though.
I drive my car every weekend I can and sometimes use it as a backup to my daily driver if it has an issue.
I hear that trying to paint say, a single door is a nightmare to match in white or pearl white...is that true??? If so perhaps it's time for a different color?
I've seen a couple of Cobra replicas using Toyota Indigo Ink Pearl, which I believe is a two stage paint (??) Honda Fiji Blue looks like an interesting color as well.. Would those be easier to touch up dings or just paint a panel or door and match it up?
What I want to avoid is paying for an entire paint job each time the car gets a few dings..I'd like to keep it nice enough to at least show respectably at local car shows...
The car has blue interior so black, white, and blue seem to be the main color choices I have. I want to avoid Nantucket Blue (the original color) and Marina Blue and Black...they're all so common. I like white a lot but it needs to have some pearl in it or it looks dead to me.... Same with Deepwater Blue...
So is a pearl white indeed a nightmare to touch up and blend in??? And are the Toyota and Honda colors I mentioned easier to work with???
Sorry for the rambling long post...

Stacey's Most Amazing Moments!
"My story began when I was born HIV positive. In sixth grade, I disclosed my HIV status to my best friend at the time and within a couple weeks it had spread throughout my entire middle school. I had to overcome severe bullying for it, but found the strength to tell my story and educate others about the illness. At the age of 14, I was granted special permission to be certified through the American Red Cross as an HIV/AIDS Educator."
"During my freshman year of high school, I became involved with Camp Kindle, a special camp for kids and teens infected by HIV/AIDS. I've been a camper and counselor in training, and now I'm an ambassador for Project Kindle, which provides cost-free services to children, adolescents and families coping with HIV/AIDS. I will be returning to Camp Kindle this summer as part of the staff!"

Very atmospheric and cool!
It's a fun idea. The way it's executed here (a woman in distress showing only shapely naked legs) hits my exploitation nerves a bit.
We get where you're going here and understand any frustration, but hyperbole for an exhibition is different than actually categorizing a novel as fairy tale, which as far as we can tell they don't do (unlike Grimm's). If they had an exhibition on Star Wars called "American Mythology" (a tag often applied to Star Wars), that doesn't mean they classify Star Wars as actual mythology, nor would we allow it in a 'Mythology' derby, despite seeing the connection, application of mythological themes, etc.
It's a great entry and we hope to see it in a future derby. It's just not what we're going for in this one.

So, I came across something quite unusual this weekend hunting. I hunt out of a kayak, and when I got to my spot and settled, I hear splashing off to my left. There was only one car in the parking lot when I left so I knew no one was around me, and after about an hour and a half after shoot time, the continual splashing peaked my curiousity and I paddled over. I found a hen Mallard stuck in a foot hold trap I assume was set for a muskrat. After freeing her I held on to her for bit when the irony of the situation hit me and I started laughing, there I sat in full camo, in a camo kayak with my camo shot gun holding a live duck in relatively good shape. Her foot wasn't in to bad a shape but she seemed exhausted as she didn't fight me at all. So, I put her in the bottom of the kayak to rest up a bit. After about an hour I put her in the water and she swam away from the kayak, and then took off.
How she got her foot stuck in the trap is beyond me, what are the odds of that?

Bowling pins are fun. Most bowling alleys have old ones for $1 each.
I always wanted to get a big box of molding clay so that you can see the cavity different rounds produce.
When I go to my folks place to shoot (middle of no where) I will lay 20ga shotgun shells on their side and shoot (from 100 yards plus) the primers with my 10/22. You know when you hit them, same goes for those little Coleman propane bottles. I would not reccomend even attempting that at a public range though.

AMES, Iowa--The Iowa Master Gardener program is once again offering a series of summer garden webinars to be hosted by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Because weather patterns over the past couple of years have moved rapidly from drought to flood, the theme of the 2013 series is "Moisture Extremes in the Landscape."
"Iowa Gardeners are dealing with a variety of extreme conditions this summer," said Denny Schrock, state Master Gardener coordinator. "There are areas of the state that have gone from drought and abnormally dry conditions to flooding, places that have received twice the normal precipitation amount, and areas that have received only a fraction of the normal amount of rain."
The Iowa DNR Water Summary Update shows the extremes – places where abnormally dry conditions are overlaid by much above normal stream flow, and sections of the state where flooding and below normal amounts of precipitation overlap. Schrock said plant selection and landscaping decisions can help gardeners manage the weather extremes and the summer webinar series will cover those topics.
Summer webinar dates, topics and presenters
The summer webinar series, in its fourth year, is offered by the Iowa Master Gardener program in response to requests for more Iowa gardening educational opportunities. The sessions are open to all interested gardeners; participants are not required to have completed Master Gardener training to attend.
Sessions will be held from 6:30–8:30 p.m. at county extension offices. Several counties already have plans to offer the full webinar series – Boone, Cherokee, Grundy, Henry, Howard, Iowa, Lyon, Mills, Mitchell, Scott, Story, Wapello, West Pottawattamie and Woodbury counties. Contact a county extension office to learn of additional local sites and registration details. Registration will be made through participating county offices.

Extramural Surveys (Statistics), Social Security Administration, Deputy Commissioner for Disability and Income Security Programs
Effective Date: January 11, 2006
System name:
Extramural Surveys (Statistics), Social Security Administration, Deputy Commissioner for Disability and Income Security Programs.
Security classification:
System Location:
Social Security Administration
Office of Research, Evaluation and Statistics
Contractor sites:
Addresses may be obtained by writing to the system manager.
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
Samples of individuals who are current or potential recipients of benefits from Social Security and related programs; personnel administering Social Security and related programs.
Categories of records in the system:
Socioeconomic, demographic, medical and disability characteristics; attitudes concerning subjects such as health, work experience, and family relationships; earnings and employment history, benefits, use of medical and rehabilitative services.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
Sections 1110 and 1115 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1310 and 1315).
The purpose of this system is to obtain information for research and statistical studies of individuals who are current or potential recipients of benefits from Social Security and related programs. When the product is in the form of micro data it is available without personal identifiers to other Social Security Administration (SSA) components for data processing and data manipulation, with appropriate safeguards.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
Disclosure may be made for routine uses as indicated below. However, disclosure of any information defined as ``return or return information'' under 26 U.S.C. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code will not be disclosed unless authorized by a statute, the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), or IRS regulations.
1. To a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of the record.
2. To a contractor under contract to the Social Security Administration (SSA), or under contract to another agency with funds provided by SSA, for the performance of research and statistical activities directly related to this system of records.
3. To the General Services Administration and the National Archives Records Administration (NARA) under 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906, as amended by the NARA Act of 1984, information which is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law for the use of those agencies in conducting records management studies.
4. We may disclose information to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when (1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; (2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs of SSA that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. SSA will use this routine use to respond only to those incidents involving an unintentional release of its records.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining and disposing of records in the system:
Data may be stored in paper form (e.g., computer printouts) and in magnetic media (e.g., magnetic tape and disc).
Files based on SSA sample populations are indexed by SSA-assigned case numbers or Social Security numbers (SSN). Files based on contractor sample populations are indexed by contractor-assigned case numbers which may be cross-referred to SSNs. These files are retrieved by SSN or assigned case numbers.
Safeguards are established in accordance with the Systems Security Handbook. Employees having access to records have been notified of criminal sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of information about individuals.
Magnetic tapes or other files with personal identifiers are retained in secured storage areas accessible only to authorized personnel.
Microdata files prepared for purposes of research and analysis are purged of personal identifiers and are subject to procedural safeguards to assure anonymity. Access http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook/app_g.htm for additional information relating to SSA data security measures.
Retention and disposal:
Hard copy questionnaires will be destroyed when survey reports are completed. Records with identifiers will be held in secure storage areas and will be retained only as long as needed for analysis. Identifiers will be removed at the earliest possible time after data collection is completed. The need to retain identifiers will be evaluated at the time each survey is completed. Records with identifiers will be disposed of as soon as they are determined to be no longer needed. Means of disposal will be appropriate to the record storage medium; e.g., erasure of tapes, shredding of printouts, etc.
In longitudinal studies, working files are stripped of identifiers and given randomly assigned case numbers. A separate link file will be maintained in secure storage for updating with individual identifiers. As long as identifiable records exist, a periodic review will be made at least every 2 years to determine the need for their retention.

All, I'll post pics later tonight, I just wanted to give it a road test to make sure there were no issues.
For all of the GTI/R32 guys who DON'T want their Phatbox to stick out of the CD changer location, or mount it vertically on the side of the wheel well, or on the back of thier rear seats....
I took the liberty of openign up my new Phatbox (yes new, I doubt I'll have warranty issues), to see what was inside to see if I can mount in a more "stealthy" way.
Since the unit is basically solid-state electronics, the mod was simple. Also, this mod had to be simple and NOT modify the PhatBox permanently.
I bascially remove the guts from the big aluminum "fake"amp module, and installed the complete unit in a Radio Shack Electronics Experiment Box. The box cost $6.99, and was simply moded with a Dremel, and an Exacto blade.
Once the mods were done, I installed the Phatbox unit into the new box, and re-mounted the front facia onto the new box.
The new unit sits/resides in the CD-Changer mount, WITH the door closed, and WITHOUT cutting the side door/panel.
I'll post pics tonight for those who are interested.....

Over 50 children of serving British Army soldiers, many of whom are currently deployed, were given the VIP treatment when they visited Emirates Stadium recently.
The children, who all have at least one parent serving with the British Army, were treated to a training session with Arsenal in the Community coaches before enjoying a special tour around the Gunners' home.
Louise Fetigan, co-founder of My Daddy is a Soldier Adventures, the charity which organised the day, said: "We had over 50 children from the British Army come along, they had a great day and by the end of it many were aspiring to be the next Theo Walcott!"
Many of the children who attended the day must regularly celebrate their birthday or Christmas without one of their parents, who can be away for up to nine months in combat zones like Afghanistan.
Thanks to Arsenal in the Community, the day provided a welcome distraction for the children and even attracted a legion of new junior supporters.
Edward, who attended the session with his brother Oliver and sister Eleanor said: "We had a fab tour around the stadium and I definitely support Arsenal now!"
Lisa Law, whose husband is currently on tour, took her children and said, "Declan, Abby, Kimberley and Keira had a fantastic day. These events give them something good to focus on while their Dad is away and they have made some lovely friends too."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

What type of fabric should I use when I replace cabin interior cushions?
Sue & Larry respond:
For interior cushions, it's wise to stick with fabrics that are 100-percent synthetic. These fabrics will offer the best resistance to wear, stain, mildew, and rot. Sunbrella makes a wide range of interior fabrics that stand up well to boat life. Some of these are textured, and some are patterned. Stay away from using their exterior solid color fabrics for interior use since they tend to show dirt and hair, along with water and sweat stains.
We can personally attest to the extreme durability and long life of the synthetic velvet-type fabrics with pin dots in them. We've had these for years, and the cushions still look great. Many boat manufacturers use these fabrics as a standard choice for cushions.
Sometimes you see boats with real leather cushions. Leather is very durable and looks great, but is very expensive. Aboard our last boat, we had a synthetic leather material called Ultra Leather. This looked and felt wonderful, was absolutely stain-resistant, but failed a little in areas of wear, like behind your legs where it puckered. And then there were a few spots that the cats claws managed to nick. We do know, however, several cruisers who are very pleased with Ultrasuede on their interior cushions.
If you need help with your cushions, SailNet has a full-service Custom Cushion Shop. The folks there are very experienced; for years they've made the new boat cushions for companies like Beneteau, Compac, Manta, and Morgan, to name but a few. They also have an extensive database of patterns covering many models of boats.
Good luck with deciding on a new fabric for your boat.

Council agenda will have more police information
Public expected to learn more before meetings begin
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Santa Barbara City Council agenda will have more police information included when Chief Cam Sanchez gives his next monthly report.
NewsChannel 3 inquired about the lack of materials available to the public prior to the council meetings where Sanchez gives his report. The agenda has one sheet attached and nothing about the issues or topics Sanchez will be speaking about.
Information or staff reports are generally added to agenda items, not just for the council, but also for the public to understand the issues the city is working on.
Sanchez said, " We don't put it on the agenda, I could certainly put some things on there. I think that's a pretty good idea."
After her State of the City address last week, Mayor Helene Schneider said, having about four topics listed, "will give the public a better awareness." She also said it will create a community conversation about police issues and programs.
At last Tuesday's meeting when the last police report was given, the topics included, school safety, crime statistics, and police programs for local youth.
"Of course the public is welcomed to speak on any issue relating to the police department," said Schneider.
Sanchez says he will work on a larger document for the public to see before his next presentation in April. "I'll talk to the city clerk about that," he said.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know where I can find some good Masters dissertation examples? I'm just starting to piece together my Masters dissertation, but you can only get to see the department papers if you book in. I did this once, but I couldn't find anything close to my subject so I want dissertation material closer to my thesis. Has anyone found a good online source? I want something that is similar to my area of study so that I can get a better idea of how to piece my information together.
I realize I'm not going to find something really close – obviously! Or there'd be no point doing the dissertation in the first place! – but I'd just like something that's has enough similarity that the structure will inspire me. I'm researching students and their perception of school in the later 20th c. I'm doing this from a sociology standpoint (talking to people age 60+), but I imagine there are other disciplines that could have some level of overlap for my purposes – history? Urban geography maybe? Thanks in advance for any help. I think I'll be starting the write up a fair few weeks before anyone else, so that means I've got time to wait a few weeks if I need to order information from a distant archive.

The Canisius College women's soccer team dropped its first home contest of the season on Wednesday, falling 2-0 to St. Bonaventure (1-1-0) on Wednesday. The loss dropped the Griffs' record to 1-2-0 on the season.
After putting four shots on net in the first half, Canisius was unable to maintain the momentum after the break, registering just one shot on goal in the second half. Canisius head coach Jim Wendling cited turnovers as the reason for the loss.
"I thought our biggest problem in the second half is that we were passing the ball to the other team," Wendling said. "Especially in our midfield, we were constantly passing it away to St. Bonaventure and all of a sudden they're on a counter attack."
The Bonnies first got on the board in the 57th minute, when Caitlin MacConnell beat senior goalkeeper Megan Tock from 12 yards out in the lower right corner. Just nine minutes later St. Bonaventure added its second goal. This time Molly Curry finished off a Tock deflection. Tock ended the game with five saves.
Canisius will look to rebound on its trip to South Carolina this weekend. First up for the Blue and Gold is Charleston Southern on Fri. Aug. 30, with kickoff at 4 p.m.

Okay, I'm ready to put my armor parts on the vest that I made.
Does the collar piece attach to the back plate over the shoulders to make it look like one piece? Or are they just attached to each other with a strap, or are they just attached to the vest seperatly?
It doesn't really matter, because both piece will be covered by a red cape, I just want to kno what the best way it for convieniance.
My Neck seal is also attached to the vest.

Re: Lake Norman
Everything is relative. Lake Norman is nice *compared to anything else nearby* for sure. There is no place to go that even vaguely resembles a waterfront town like Annapolis, the place is overrun with powerboats on weekends, and light+variable winds are the norm. YMMV
Re: Lake Norman
Lake Norman is the largest man-made body of fresh lake located in North California. It is a place where the International Jet Sport Boats Association (IJSBA) tour stops.
Re: Lake Norman
The other Lake I have investigated is Watauga Lake just over the border in TN. It's only a 3 hr drive from CLT. A very active sailing community there and the bonus of being in the mountains where it is usually windy and much cooler in the summer. A mountain house on the water so to speak.
That is one option and the other is the Sound. I am heading out next week to look at marinas along the Palmico. That would be a 4 hr drive but great access to some serious cruising grounds. But agreed, you will not be going every weekend.
Re: Lake Norman
That's one of the reasons we considered (briefly) Smith MTN Lake in VA, and / or a boat at the ICW.
But from talking to folks, unless you know you can get down there regularly for maintenance, leaving a boat in the water in the ICW can be costly in many ways....
Re: Lake Norman
I have sailed and raced on Norman. Too little wind and too many power boaters for me. Spring time is the only time there is enough wind and too cold for the stink pots and PWC's. Best two weeks of the year.
Re: Lake Norman
Good Info, kd; and you're "spot on" about the prices on the lake. Although housing has come down significantly and there are deals to be had; an 800K home on the market is a great deal at 625k...but only if you're in the market for a 600K home!
It's one of the reasons that I was able to "nudge" my executive leadership (wife) into buying a weekender and getting a wet slip. Its actually cheaper, and in many ways more convenient, to wet slip your boat and live 5 or 10 miles off the water. Its pretty simple supply and demand. There are a few Neighborhoods on the water that haven't fallen victim to the McMansion craze of the past 6 years, though.
I WAS shocked at how many sailboats are in the marinas that look neglected/ abused/ and or abandoned by their owners; I'd guess 10-20% of the sailboats in each marina look that way, depending on the marina. Some of those boats have lines so pretty it could make a sensitive sailor cry.
Bio or Manhattan, any info on sailing conditions specifically more towards the 150 Bridge?
It looks like the lake is still a mile or 2 wide, but with all the shoals and my lack of sailing experience, I'm not sure if that translates to sailing room.
Re: Lake Norman
not to be nudge, but there are cons to the Lake Norman sailing thoughts presented.
It is a power boat and PWC and water skiing paradise. The week days are awesome for sailing (weekends not so much) and plenty of gunkholes, but the marinas are very expenses, services (some require cranes, as few yards are equipped to haul and store, or if they do, very $$) even more so and traffic to and fro is as bad as NoVA on weekends, especially race weekends. Lake side restaraunts are excellent but again, quite pricey.
The water level is still down quite a bit from the last decade and some previously available areas are now quite shallow (east end of the lake nearest I77, where St Barts yachts used to be), not sure why the power companies have left it low so long.
I would definitely visit and check the prices of housing, slippage and yacht clubs before committing to a move. As Bio says, there are always sailboats for sale, many because the sailing there is not what people expect and so different than what the coast will offer. Really depends on the type and style of sailing and social scene you are looking for. He is dead on that most yacht clubs are expensive, very. This is the area of the big dogs of racing, not just the NASCAR guys, but cars, dragsters, boats, airplanes and such. Not for the feint of heart. Prices on almost everything reflect that.
Yacht clubs are an option, but pricey, especially if you do not live in the area/subdivision nearby.
Re: Lake Norman
Thanks, guys, for starting the LKN thread!
Airbus and Dixie; I can't comment completely on Lake Norman for sailing, but I will say that while the lake is very crowded on the weekends, weekday evenings on the lake can be peaceful and pretty nice. One of the yacht clubs used to hold a "wednesday night series" regatta that was popular among the blow boaters.
( I know this, B/C I would watch them from my fishing Canoe and be overcome with jealousy...)
I'm not sure what the rules are on this board , but I'm a Real Estate broker with over 20 years of knowledge in this general area, and have some great contacts who are agents "on the lake" , and literally know every cove. if you're thinking moving down. We'd love to have you! Feel free to PM me for any property, culture, or community info that I can help with. ( warning: i have a few more posts to use up before my PM's are accessible...or I would've just sent you a message!)
Biology( or any other LKN folks) : the boat I'm getting surveyed this weekend is moored WAAY up just South of the 150 bridge, and includes the slip for 2013 in the purchase price. However, in looking at the charts, it looks like I may have to come all the way down South to get enough room to sail. is there room to reasonably manuever and stay off the shoals North of Channel marker 11?
Re: Lake Norman
Dixie Chicken,
There are tons of Marinas all around the lake. There's a bridge crossing the northern part of the lake that is too low for sailboats so make sure you're not talking to any marinas up there (let them know it's for a sailboat). Some of the slips are private small little places (like where I keep mine) and they're less expensive but are slim on the dockside services. King's Point and Holiday Marinas are pretty big, there's also Morning Star. There are a couple yacht clubs, but membership is STEEP (depending on what you're looking for). Any of the Marinas you contact could most likely recommend a place to launch your boat once it's brought into the area. I'd recommend staying on the east side of the lake as that's the I-77 side with the easiest access to tons of marinas, west marine store, tons of other shopping and restaurants (Mooresville and Cornelius). This way if you're coming from Charlotte or from the north access is pretty easy. Otherwise you can add 45+ minutes to your drive if your boat is on the west side and you're coming from the east.
I'm not familiar with Marina Shores (it's right next to Holiday Marina), but it's near the Rusty Rudder, which is a great lakeside restaurant with sail-up slips for lunch
The area is really quite nice and I've found folks in the area friendly and helpful. You'll see the lake is well established with lots and lots and lots of high end homes shoreside all around the lake. Most the time I just see people fishing or slowly cruising along in their motor yachts, but when the wind picks up sailboats abound! I'm sure you'll like it. I have a 27' on the lake as well and I feel like it's the perfect size for the lake. Anything bigger and I'd probably be starving for more wind. But it's large enough to be comfortable and gunkhole and take the kids out on the water!
|Dixie Chicken
Re: Lake Norman
To Mr. Biology
Hi, I have a 27 Catalina, and thinking of moving to Lake Norman.
Never been there, so any info would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking to rent a boat trailer, and will need to haul and launch it
from a facility. Any suggestions?... I'll also be looking for a place to rent,
and have found a few rentals at a place called Marina Shores. Are you
familiar with it?... I really hate to move my boat from where it is now, but
life throws you curves sometimes... hoping I will like the area.
thanks, Dave

Re: Pumps do not do what you think
my boat, 40' 9tons relatively shallow bilge, has a pisser (800gph rule) for the minor drips and drabs and occasional wash down of the cabin sole. set about 6" above that is a 2400gph electronic (with a siren alarm thatll wake the dead) mostly in case the pisser fails and a deck hatch is left open during monsoon season. then theres the beast - 8000gph rule - i picked up at a marine swapmeet brand new for $75. its not on auto, you have to throw that switch intentionally. ive got a huge manual whale i can work vertically from the cockpit and a y-valve on the head pump so it can be pressed into service if need be. they all discharge to the COCKPIT and not a throughhull , where ive got more than enough drainage out the transom above the waterline. if your cockpit drains arent up to that kind of flow then thats where you put a scared crew with a bucket. and youve got a visual warning that your pumping when you are at the helm.
next, im essentially double-hulled from the bow to midships about 6" above the waterline as all the v-bearth, settee, and stowage lockers have secure latches and gasketed lids. this isnt as hard to do as one might think, and itll at least dramatically slow or even stop and compartmentalize flooding from a collision until a repair or patch can be well thought out.
lastly, carry several sizes and shapes of 1/2" ply pre-drilled around the perimeters and some truss head self drilling sheet metal screws, and a cordless drill. think it through and when youve calmed down some splooch on some sealant and just drive the screws into the hull.
and of coarse tapered plugs at all the seacocks.
Re: Pumps do not do what you think
A couple of observations:
1) As MarineSail indicated most centrifugal pumps don't deal with back pressure very well. So the length and nature exit pipe makes a big difference with such set-ups. Smooth hose, as large a diameter hose as practicable, large radius bends, NO valves, and as short as possible is the way to go. Also, if the exit is on the transom, and well above the waterline, you shouldn't need an siphon break (it's just another tight radius turn anyway). A one-inch corrugated hose with lots of twists and turns, and a check valve, and maybe a couple of elbows here and there, is going to pose a serious challenge for any small centrifugal pump relative to a smooth, large diameter hose without unnecessary fittings.
2) Your video is something of a "worse-case" test as far as the pump is concerned. As the bilge fills the pump has less "head" against which it has to work. In other words, the last five gallons should take the longest. If the bilge is filled to the sole it doesn't matter if the hole is at the bottom of the bilge (as far as the rate of water ingress is concerned) -- the water will come into the boat as if the hole were right at the surface of the rising water. The difference can be as much as a meter, or more, on some boats (it's close to a meter on my little 27-foot boat); AND the pump won't have as much head pressure to work against.
You are right to point out that the "rated capacity" of a bilge pump is rather deceiving. It's as if car manufactures advertised the milage that their cars get just cruising on the freeway at 45 mph, without factoring in real freeway speeds, or the gas it takes to accelerate to speed, or hills, et cetera. However, you can improve the capacity of a bilge pump, sometimes pretty dramatically, with a little large diameter hose and some common sense. Also, realize that while your pump(s) might not be able to completely keep up with a hole, or busted thru-hull, or whatever, they could well buy you enough time to get a handle on the problem, or get to shore, or for the CG to get to you.
Re: Pumps do not do what you think
One of the best stock setups I have seen was the big Edson manual pump mounted at the foot of the companionway on a Santa Cruz 52. Slot in the sole section gave it away...
The broker told us that owners often referred to it as their "Oh My God" pump!
Gallon a stroke!
Handle was about 4' long.
You'd still have to have someone finding the leak and doing damage control, as others have pointed out.
Re: Pumps do not do what you think
A pump is not there to "unhole" the boat. It is there to help empty the water out, while you are plugging the hole. There's a reason why serious dewatering pumps are driven by gasoline engines and resemble medium size gensets.
Re: Pumps do not do what you think
This thread confirms step 1 of damage control during flooding into the ship: STOP THE LEAK!
You have to reduce the leakage to less than your dewatering capacity before all your reserve bouyancy is lost.
Nothing else can save your ship from sinking.
Re: Pumps do not do what you think
I was wondering about the corrugated hoses. Thanks for the info, Maine.
This will help me in my upgrade plans.

Re: Pumps do not do what you think
This is not at all unusual for a centrifugal style bilge pump. I always figure on 1/3 or less of face value rating as installed.
Some things most are not aware of:
#1 These pumps are rated at the open bucket rate. This means a ZERO head rating.. This is a VERY DISHONEST way of selling a bilge pump to unsuspecting buyers..... I personally find this type of marketing disgusting at best. Almost as bad as companies selling "marine" tankless LPG fired water heaters that meet NONE of the safety standards. Caveat Emptor.......
#2 These pumps deal horribly with added head pressure and can pretty easily lose 50-75% or more of their rating as installed.
#3 These pumps are rated at charging voltages. This is NOT completely honest as most sailboats would not have the motor running when the bilge pumps was in use. All one needs to do is look at the amperage consumption to see how much the voltage can affect these pumps. A Rule 2000 will draw 12A at 13.6V and just 8.4A at 12.0V....... The current a pump draws is directly related to GPM/GPH volume
#4 Corrugated hose adds a LOT of head restriction.
#5 Check valves should not be used on the outlet of the pump because the pumps often don't have the oomph to overcome the standing water in the hose or the check valve sticks.
#6 Every elbow or turn adds more head restrictions.
#7 The height from bilge to siphon break creates even more head.
#8 Undersized wire can add yet more unwanted voltage drop to the pump causing even more reductions in output.
#9 Discharging below water, such as teeing into a sink drain, can also slow the pumps capacity...
Re: Pumps do not do what you think
I've always figured that 12V electric pumps are only going to buy me a little time to find/stop the leak unless it's just a small one. Any serious hole is going to sink the boat if it can't be plugged or slowed down.
Most boaters seem to be overly impressed with the "GPH" rating of their pumps without doing the math to find out what that equates to in the much more important "GPM", to say nothing of the friction losses and head.
Re: Pumps do not do what you think
The pumps are pretty new and the hoses are to spec. You should try the test yourself, you might be surprised!

I made a video, the math is at the end, can this be right?

text: I am surprised to see on places like youtube alot of people complaining that Kerrigan did win the short program at the 92 Games over Yamaguchi. I always thought the results were uncontroversial of the short program, atleast at the time. Had Nancy won the short it would have been a huge thing too, as it would have given Ito a better shot at winning. I think even if Nancy should have won the short, the reason the judges didnt do it as they thought it would be wierd to have a skater who had no shot of the gold medal winning the short. Who do you think should have won the short at the 1992 Olympics.

A LaVerkin man was arrested and booked into the Washington County Jail on suspicion of murder but LaVerkin police later reported the victim was still alive.
John Stettler Stucki, 54, was originally booked into the Purgatory Correctional Facility at 11:28 p.m. Tuesday, on suspicion of aggravated murder, in addition to disorderly conduct, intoxication and criminal mischief.
But The Spectrum newspaper reported that the murder charge was changed sometime after 2 p.m. Wednesday to aggravated assault because LaVerkin police reported the victim was alive.
Stucki's bail was dropped from $25,733 to $10,733.
His booking photo indicates he recently sustained a serious beating and facial injuries.
LaVerkin Police Chief Lloyd Watkins told The Spectrum that the incident occurred at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at the residence where Stucki was staying, on the 200 South block of 100 East.
Stucki called for medical help after an altercation with another man; emergency responders arrived to find both Stucki and the other man injured, Watkins told the local newspaper.
"A couple of guys who were intoxicated just got to fighting," Watkins told The Spectrum.
The second man was flown to a Las Vegas hospital, The Spectrum reported.
Watkins did not immediately return Tribune inquiries on Wednesday afternoon.

Fourth is an ideal day to celebrate citizenship
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent | July 04. 2013 8:15PM
Rui Guilherme of Derry celebrates his naturalization as a United States citizen following a special ceremony at Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth on Thursday. Guilherme is a native of Portugal but has lived in the United States for 43 years and has raised five sons here, who all joined him on Thursday. "It's a big, big day," Guilherme said. (GRETYL MACALASTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
Under the tent, about 125 men and women representing 57 different countries become some of the nation's newest citizens.
The special naturalization ceremony has become an important part of "An American Celebration" at Strawbery Banke on Independence Day that many look forward to, including museum president Lawrence J. Yerdon who not only works on, but lives on the grounds. Yerdon told those gathered that the naturalization ceremony is his favorite of the many events held at the museum.
"It is a big, big day," he said with a big smile after receiving his certificate and a greeting from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, and her husband, Bill.
"I've been waiting for this so I'm so excited," Guilherme said.
Mohamed Kamara of Concord came from Sierra Leone about five years ago. He said becoming a United States citizen for him, is like being a "newborn."
Each of the new citizens and their families were invited to join in the museum's Independence Day celebration without paying the day's admission fee.
Many others came from around the country to enjoy the museum's historic celebration, including three generations of the Mayerson family of California.
Mayerson said such Independence Day events are "inspiring," and the essence of it all was embodied in the naturalization ceremony."All I can say is, I hope these new citizens are as inspired as I was just listening to everything," Mayerson said."I thought it was remarkable when they started reading the list of countries, I thought they were just going through the list of the United Nations," Mayerson said.
"America's greatness always has come from being a nation of immigrants. This is as true today as it was at the founding of this nation 237 years ago," Shaheen said.

I mostly vote tea party or independent since 2008.
The GOP, going, going, go..
Most of us will agree that the Democratic Party (Socialist Party A) has no use for gun-owners, pro-life people Bible believing Christians and a Constitutional republic.
Therefore, those who do believe in the above, have felt that the Republican Party (the GOP, also known as Socialist Party B) has represented them.
The GOP is considered to be a bastion of conservatism. Millions of naive and hopeful Americans have joined it thinking that it would serve them. Even such Christian leaders as James Dobson and Jerry Faldwell have been so deceived.
However, after studying the actions of the 2 major parties, I have come to the conclusion that both are self-serving entities that play Liberals and Conservatives against each other to further their own goals such as a dictatorial New World Order (NWO).
All of us have laughed at the Harlem Globetrotters as they clown around the arena and gradually defeat their opponents. But, it is not really a contest. They carry another team with them which is expected to provide token opposition before getting beat. All an act. Just like Democrats and Republicans.
Another example is professional wrestling. This is the phoniest sport exhibition around, but, as long as everybody realizes it is a live-action cartoon it is OK. However, some people believe that wrestling is on the level. It is the same in politics. As the wrestlers ham it up and threaten each other with all kinds of mayhem-everything being rehearsed ahead of time-Republicans and Democrats do the same thing. Each party is the others loyal opposition. The awful truth is that both parties seem to be owned by the elitist Liberal Eastern Establishment.
At the present time, we have a president who is pushing America down a slippery slope into an absolute tyranny. Since he took office, President Obama has been dedicated to finishing the work-started by Bill Clinton and continued by George W. Bush-to destroy as much of the old American way as possible. Like people possessed these men have worked hard to socialize this country. And, every facet of this tyrannical nightmare has been put over the top by Republicans!
For example, Clintons Crime Bill. which is still trashing our Rights. Are you unhappy over the way that this legislative action-which takes us down the same totalitarian path that Nazi Germany trod-was Passed? Blame the GOP! It was they that pushed it through. I heard one Republican say that he voted for it because I wasnt elected to embarrass the President. Thats true; you were elected to represent your constituents and defend the Constitution!
When Clinton was pushing his Second Amendment destroying Brady Bill through Congress, he lacked the votes to get it. He thus called on his republican buddies Bob Dole, Mark Hatfield and Ronald Reagan who got it passed for him. (Reagan said: Im a member of the NRA, but I am for this bill!
Clintons Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) could never have been enacted without GOP support. Former Presidents Ford, George Bush Sr., and Reagan sent letters supporting the BAN to ALL members of Congress! Even Conservative Barry Goldwater backed Clinton. 38 Republican Congressmen eventually voted for this measure. (Reagans son Michael said on his radio show that his father was wrong to do this!)
Many prominent current and former Republican politicians are against the Second Amendment - John Warner, Elton Gallegly, John Chaffe, Bob Packwood, Bob Michel, Henry Hyde, Rudolph Gulianai, NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former L.A. Mayor Richard Riorand, William Bennett, Jim Edgar, William Weld, Pet Wilson, Arne Carlson, Mitt Romney, Governor Chris Christie, and Arnold Schwarzennager, Of course there are many others. All belong in the gun-grabbers Hall of Shame! Is there any difference between these Republicans and Hitler, who prohibited Germans (except Nazis) from having guns? With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
Republicans provided the deciding votes when Clinton enacted the largest tax increase in history during 1993.
When Waco War heroine Janet Reno was confirmed as Attorney General, every Republican voted for her! Only three voted against the confirmation of Ruth Bader Ginsberg for the Supreme Court (she has been hostile to American freedom ever since!). Although a sustained outpouring of letters and phone calls ran 100 to1 against her candidacy as Surgeon General, 13 Republicans voted to confirm Jocelyn Elders.
Republicans voted for the misnamed Freedom of Access to (abortion) Clinic entrances Act All Republican appointees to the Supreme Court have upheld Roe v Wade. For years Republicans have practiced the same wasteful tax and spend policies as Democrats. (Look at President Bush, Jr. The biggest deficits in history until Obama). Instead of resisting Clintons National Socialist Health Plan (now Obamas), Republicans offered their own socialistic alternative. They even hired Communist dictator Mikhail Gorbachev to campaign for GOP candidates!
It is time for Americans-who want to see this country return to its old traditional values-to learn who their true enemies are. Democrats yes, but also Republicans.We are probably better off with Democrats in office because they make no pretense about caring for us. Republicans, however, give lip service to our concerns only to later stab us in the back!
The sad fact is, the GOP is a lost cause.Like the Democrats, they too, are against righteousness and freedom. If you hold Republican John McCain before a mirror, you will see Charles Schumer looking back.
The GOP is festered with betrayal and cowardice. The only thing that the majority of its leaders (same with the Democrats) care about are their jobs with the attendant BIG FAT WAGES, BIG FAT BENFITS and BIG FAT PENSIONS! As long as they remain in power, thats all that matters to them.
The Republican Party is represented by an elephant. It should change its symbol to a dinosaur with a big, yellow streak down its back. It is time for gun-owners, Christians, Constitutionalists, anti-abortionists and any one else who wants to put the government back under the Constitution where it belongs to stop supporting these turn-coats and seek someone who will truly represent us. We need a new party. The GOP should be consigned to the dung-heap of history!
I mostly vote tea party or independent since 2008.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Democrap or Reprobate party. They are all in it for themselves.

I work for a private school where the director of studies(also the owner) does absolutely nothing to help us poor teachers. We are expected to learn by telepathy. I have never worked for another school but I have WORKED before and it's not difficult to notice lack of any kind of training etc. I have started to take matters into my own hands, to the delight of the head teacher(I'm a little better trained in this aspect of management than him), but I have nowhere to turn for help, guidance etc. How do I know I'm even teaching well? Us teachers have started to help each other because it's the only way, and the internet has become my mentor, but I'm fast approaching a major burn out and I feel resentful because it's spoiling my enjoyment and professional development. Unfortunately, there's not much more on offer where I live so, Auntie Lucy, please give me some advice as to how to cope! There's no point bringing the matter up with the head because I know him and he couldn't cope with the responsibility, organization etc, and I don't think asking for more money would go down too well! But I can't just do it for me. I'm not like that. I want to work in a team!

The New York Times, Guardian urge clemency for Edward Snowden
Edward Snowden is a heroic whistle-blower who exposed wrongdoing by U.S. government spy agencies and deserves clemency — or even a full pardon from President Barack Obama.
That's the argument in a pair of editorials published on Thursday by the New York Times and Britain's the Guardian newspaper, pressing Obama to drop his insistence that the former National Security Agency contractor end his exile in Russia and come home to face trial.
